190: Prevent extraterrestrial invasion?
“Congratulations, Host, because you created a super mecha that overwhelmed Sakura's similar technological products, causing a huge blow to them, you received super worship from the people of your country, and you were rewarded with five hundred points of prestige.”
“Due to the special historical hatred between the Host's country and Sakura, the prestige points gained by the Host this time have been increased tenfold, raising the total to five thousand points.”
“Because the Host possesses the title of 'Respected by Ten Thousand People', you have additionally received five hundred prestige points. Your current prestige points are: fifty-three thousand one hundred and fifty points.”
“Congratulations, Host, because you developed a super mecha that far exceeds the current planetary technological power and sold it to other nations, causing a volatile situation in some countries on the current planet, which will soon trigger a series of corresponding chain reactions.”
“Your action will change the existing situation of various nations, incurring the resentment of the current planet's superpowers. You have gained a special limited-time title: Creator of Chaos.”
“Creator of Chaos: The current planetary situation has become unpredictable due to your actions. During the existence of this title, you will receive some random rewards.”
“Congratulations, Host, because you have had a significant impact on some of the current planetary situations, which may bring extreme danger. You have activated a special series of tasks: Planet Guardian.”
“Planet Guardian (Phase One): Due to some of your actions, an unknown extraterrestrial civilization invasion crisis may occur. When the invasion arrives, please protect your home planet.”
“Upon completing the mission, you will receive a permanent special title: Planet Guardian, as well as a huge mission reward. If you fail to protect your home planet after the unknown civilization's invasion, you may become an interstellar refugee.”
“Please note, Host, you now need to quickly develop your technological strength to cope with the potential unknown civilization invasion in the future.”
“Congratulations, Host, the mecha you created has led the worldwide armed forces into a new mecha era. You have received one hundred thousand national treasure value and one achievement point reward.”
“…”
This time, the System's prompt was a bit long, and the content of the prompt made Lin Yang a bit bewildered.
“System, wait, what did you say? An unknown civilization might invade my planet??”
Lin Yang was a bit numb; he had heard the previous reward prompts many times and was already unfeeling.
But the last few prompts instantly energized him.
“Yes, Host, but it's only a possibility, not a certainty. The System is just reminding the Host that perhaps you need to take some precautions now.”
“Heh heh, System, be honest, do you know some inside information?” Lin Yang didn't believe the damn System at all.
This damn System would never talk about such baseless things for no reason.
Since it prompted, there must be a reason.
Could it be that Blue Star has now been discovered by a more advanced technological civilization and is preparing for invasion?
“Sorry, Host, regarding the possibility of an unknown civilization invasion, the System indeed cannot give you a definite answer. Your planet is about to enter a first-level civilization. If a cosmic signal is emitted, it might be spied upon by a high-level civilization, thereby triggering a crisis.”
“Oh… you mean it hasn't been discovered by a high-level civilization yet?” Lin Yang's eyes flashed.
“The System is not certain.”
“…You bastard!” Lin Yang was speechless, then changed his question: “You just said that if a cosmic signal is emitted, it might be spied upon. So if no signal is emitted, the risk of exposure will be greatly reduced, right?”
“Yes, Host, you can understand it that way.”
“Then I'd be bored out of my mind to go and emit a cosmic signal. I definitely won't emit it!” Lin Yang said irritably.
“But Host, if you don't emit it, it doesn't mean others won't. According to the System's monitoring, similar cosmic signals have already been emitted from your planet.”
However, the System's words directly sent a chill down Lin Yang's spine.
“What the heck, someone emitted a cosmic signal?”
Lin Yang was shocked!
He knew it!
This damn System would never suddenly say something about a possible Alien civilization invasion for no reason!
It turns out someone had already emitted a cosmic signal that could potentially be detected by an Alien civilization!
No wonder this damn System suddenly and inexplicably reminded him to quickly develop technological strength to prevent Alien invasion!
“You damn System! If you detected a cosmic signal, why didn't you intercept it? Even if you can't actively intercept it, you should have told me, and I would have intercepted it!”
Lin Yang was truly speechless.
This damn System was simply being an armchair general!
“Host, emitting a cosmic signal is instantaneous and difficult to intercept, unless there is already a signal shielding device. Even if the System had told you the moment it was detected, there would have been no time to intercept it.”
“…” Lin Yang took a deep breath. Since things had come to this, he was too lazy to talk about anything else with the System and directly asked the crucial question:
“Who emitted the cosmic signal? To emit a cosmic signal, there must be corresponding equipment. This certainly wasn't emitted by a private individual, was it? Was it emitted by some Western countries?”
To emit a cosmic signal, just equipping those super signal emission devices would be an enormous expense; it's impossible for ordinary people to have that capability.
Because some things are simply not sold to individuals!
One could even say that there are only a few countries capable of emitting cosmic signals!
He didn't even wait for the System to answer before he already had suspects.
“Was it Unpretty or Sakura?”
His mecha crushed Sakura's hope of rising again by relying on mechas. Sakura might very well have emitted a cosmic signal with the idea of relying on Aliens.
And Unpretty and their allies, having been exploited so harshly by him in his role as Alien Commander, and now having their path to obtaining resources from Little Countries cut off, might also very likely have the idea of seeking other Aliens to break the current situation.
This time, the System was quite straightforward and generously said: “The cosmic signal was emitted from the United Office Building of Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce. They continuously emitted multiple segments of high-intensity cosmic signals at different frequencies. These signals are very likely to be detected by high-level extraterrestrial technological civilizations.”
“It really was them!”
Lin Yang sighed. He wasn't surprised by this answer at all. Immediately, he asked:
“System, is there any way to interfere with the cosmic signals that have already been emitted, or to hide Blue Star's coordinates so that those high-level technological civilizations cannot find this place by following those cosmic signals?”
“Sorry, Host, the cosmic signals that have already been emitted cannot be interfered with for now. As for hiding coordinates, it is also very difficult to do. For high-level Alien civilizations, those cosmic signals are like lighthouses in the dark. If they are truly detected by some powerful high-level civilizations, they can instantly pinpoint Blue Star's location.”
“This…” Lin Yang's mood was complex.
“Host, you don't need to worry too much. Whether those cosmic signals can be detected by Alien civilizations is still unknown. You can first quickly improve your current technological strength. As long as you have enough power, any Alien civilization is nothing to fear!”
The System, uncharacteristically, offered some comfort.
“You say it so easily…” Lin Yang pouted.
If it truly was a high-level technological civilization capable of traversing vast interstellar distances to invade here, then the power it possessed would probably be something that the current Blue Star or Tiangong Base could not contend with.
“Host, overthinking is useless. The System will monitor relevant situations at all times, and there are no signs of any other civilizations existing near your planet, so you don't need to worry too much. You still have plenty of time, and you can develop at ease.”
The System, again uncharacteristically, revealed a very useful piece of information.
These words made Lin Yang's eyes light up!
