Chapter 640 The Unsolved Mystery
After more than two months of full speed ahead.

The task force arrived at Valor in the Cooper Belt.

The task force that had just arrived around Valor star quickly divided into two groups.

Two of the Red Phoenix-class space motherships were deployed in the void 500 million kilometers away from Valor Star, releasing more than 1 mobile space mines, and these space mines contained nuclear bombs.

A single space mine consists of 80 sub-mines, and each sub-mine is a 30-ton firefly-type hydrogen bomb.

These space mines quickly attached to the surrounding asteroids, and then adjusted their speed to be consistent with the height of the Valor Star, ensuring that they can be stable around the Valor Star for a long time.

The Chifeng-class space mothership completed the first line of defense, and then the two Chifeng-class dispatched a large number of mining spacecraft to mine the surrounding asteroids.

According to the arrangement of the headquarters, they will use local materials to build a military industrial base in the Cooper Belt, and mass-produce dead light cannons, hydrogen bombs and various warships.

After all, if you keep dispatching warships from the inner layers of the solar system, is it a long-term solution after all?

This is also a set of models explored by the Space Defense Department during the development process, that is, the warships transferred in the early stage must have military production capabilities, and they can produce weapons and equipment in the defense area by themselves, reducing their dependence on resources and equipment from the headquarters.

After the two Chifeng-class ships completed the defense line and began to enter the military production mode.

The remaining two Qinglong-class ships also merged with the Qinglong-class ship of Yin Siyong and others.

After the three Qinglong-class ships converged, they quickly deployed 100 dead light satellites in orbits 300 kilometers, 500 kilometers, and 60 kilometers away from Valor Star.

These dead light satellites are aimed at the metal cuboid on Valor. As long as there is any abnormality in the metal cuboid, the dead light satellite and the three Qinglong-class space battleships will instantly focus their fire on the metal cuboid.

The task force of the Space Defense Department is arranging defense work.

Finally, it was the turn of the Space Reconnaissance Department.

Hill was worried about the investigation team, and personally came to the brave star through the synchronous robot.

At this time, in the 100-kilometer orbit of Valor, there are not only 20 dead light satellites, but also a temporary investigation space station, and the investigation team led by Hill is on it.

Yin Siyong and others who discovered the metal cuboid were also temporarily recruited by the Space Reconnaissance Department to cooperate with the work.

"Minister Hill, this is our investigation and detection report on the metal cuboid in the past 87 days."

Hill waved her hand. She has been receiving these messages for the past few days and already knows the situation of the metal cuboid: "Thank you for your hard work. Please communicate with your investigation team. I have to arrange other tasks."

"No problem." Yin Siyong nodded. He knew that the other party must be very busy, so he quickly walked over to the other members of the investigation team.

Hill turned his head to An Maidong, the leader of the investigation team, and asked, "Maidong, this metal cuboid has not shown any abnormal reactions in a series of passive detections. I'm considering gradually adopting active detection methods and testing a little bit."

An Maidong is a middle-aged man with sharp eyes. He holds the capacitive pen and stares at the metal cuboid holographic projection in front of him: "It's so strange..."

"What's so strange?" Hill was a little puzzled.

An Maidong extracts the 6 faces of the metal cuboid from the cross-sectional view, and then forms 6 planar views.

"See it? Minister!"

Hill frowned, the six floor plans in front of him were indeed very strange.

These plans are densely covered with a large number of rectangles.

She suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "This thing looks familiar? Huh? Isn't this a QR code?"

An Maidong reassembled the 6 floor plans, and according to the grain patterns of the corners, he quickly combined the 6 floor plans into 1 floor plan. At this time, the floor plan looked more like a QR code.

Hill speculated: "Is this some kind of information storage device?"

"I don't know, but there must be some kind of secret in it." An Maidong was also analyzing in his heart, what is this pattern similar to a QR code.

Hill didn't figure out the mystery, so he asked, "What's your idea?"

An Maidong raised his index finger: "First of all, judging from the condition of the metal cuboid itself, this thing existed 2.3 to 2.4 million years ago, and it fell to the Valor star more than 8000 million years ago."

"This means that the metal cuboid has been flying in the universe for 1.5 to 1.6 million years. Even if the speed is slow, this thing will fly at least a few hundred light-years, and may even fly thousands of light-years, or even tens of thousands of light-years."

Hill agreed with An Maidong's judgment.

An Maidong compared two fingers: "Secondly, since the metal cuboid appeared on Valor, it only means that the mother civilization of this thing is only a first-level civilization, and I don't think the creation of a first-level civilization can hold 2 Hundreds of millions of years of baptism."

"It makes sense." Hill also had a hard time imagining any civilization creation that could last for hundreds of millions of years, especially within the category of first-level civilization.

It is also very clear that the mother civilization of the metal cuboid is only a first-level civilization.

After all, if the parent civilization of the metal cuboid is a second-level civilization, then the other party must have mastered superluminal technology, and Homo sapiens will not find any clues at all.

The civilizations that can be discovered by Homo sapiens companies at this stage are all first-level civilizations, and zero-level civilizations below it.

"Third, the internal layout of the metal cuboid is very unreasonable. The materials are all iron, nickel, tungsten, copper, lead, platinum, and a lot of silicon. This thing does not look like a spaceship carrying creatures at all."

Regarding this point, the rest of the investigation team was also at a loss.

There are no remnants of nuclear batteries, nuclear fission reactors, nuclear fusion, etc. inside the metal cuboid, and there are no circuits or pipelines for energy transmission.

If it is said that this civilization does not use electricity or light energy, then An Maidong and others absolutely do not believe that there is no way for a first-level civilization to get rid of the rules of the universe.

Among the basic rules of the big universe, heat energy, electric energy, and light energy cannot be bypassed by any first-level civilization.

As for antimatter, vacuum zero-point energy, etc., just think about it, these things are not something that a first-level civilization can afford.

Judging from a series of passive detection data, the metal cuboid is composed of an ordinary metal material.

The only thing worth paying attention to is the texture on the surface of the metal cuboid and the internal spatial structure of the layers.

An Maidong had a hunch that all the secrets were hidden in these patterns.

But while trying to analyze these patterns, An Maidong, Hill and others are also thinking about the purpose of this civilization.

After all, any civilization has its purpose in doing things.
