Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones-Chapter 317: Blue

At this moment, the green light was still in front of Tom’s robot army.

Its volume had already shrunk to only half of what it was before, and it was still faintly rippling, seemingly trembling constantly.

Tom manipulated the robots to send an electromagnetic wave signal: "Are you an intelligent being? Who are you? Why are you in my spaceship?"

The green light solidified as a whole for a moment, then rippled again, and another electromagnetic wave signal was sent out: "You can understand what I’m saying?!"

"Yes. Now, answer my questions."

The subsequent signals seemed to carry a hint of urgency: "I am ¥#%#, from the Warm Star. I secretly left home to play, but I accidentally went a little too far, and now I can’t find my way home.

Space is too cold, and the pulling force is too great. I’m cold, hungry, and in pain. I happened to see your fleet, and this spaceship is slightly warmer inside, and the pulling force is also a little smaller. I, I just wanted to come in and rest for a while.

I have no ill intentions. I didn’t mean to damage your things. Please, can you let me rest here for a while? Don’t drive me away, and don’t prick me anymore. It really hurts.

When I’m well rested, I’ll leave on my own."

¥#%#?

The name this strange creature called itself seemed to have no corresponding word in human language. If one were to try to understand it, it probably described a certain color, with a meaning closer to "azure blue."

Then let’s call you Blue.

As for the Warm Star...

"What kind of planet is this? Perhaps it’s a star with a higher temperature? I just don’t know what it means by ’warm.’

If it’s relative to a cold dwarf planet, then minus one hundred degrees Celsius could also be considered warm.

However, it said the living spaceship was slightly warmer, so the temperature of that Warm Star should be higher than here. Perhaps it’s a planet relatively close to a star? Or the inner layers of a gas giant? Or is it a star? A white dwarf? It couldn’t be a neutron star, could it?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Tom pondered rapidly.

"What is ’pulling force’? Is there such a thing as pulling force in space? The pulling force is smaller in the living spaceship? Hmm... I think I understand.

It should be that its own structure has a tendency to expand, and without gravity in space, its uncontrolled expansion is what it perceives as the so-called pulling force. And in the living spaceship, there is approximately 0.8 times Earth’s gravity, which can counteract some of its own expansion tendency, which is what it means by the pulling force being smaller.

If 0.8 times gravity is still considered small by it, then the Warm Star it mentioned is unlikely to be a rocky planet. It’s either a gas giant or a star.

This intelligent life adapted to a higher gravity environment, possessing a certain anti-gravity characteristic... perhaps it can be called a Gravity Life?

Overall, this Gravity Life, which calls itself Blue, comes from a planet with high gravity and is relatively warm. It accidentally left its home, wandered in space, and when it was cold, hungry, and in pain, it happened to encounter me and decided to stay here and not leave."

Having understood these things, Tom, though still on high alert, felt a little more at ease.

"Tell me about your home, that Warm Star, in detail."

Blue rippled, sending out another electromagnetic wave signal: "The pulling force there is very small, and it’s very warm. Life there is very comfortable. It’s very, very big. My seven fathers, six mothers, and many relatives and friends are all there. We live peacefully there.

Wuwuwu, it’s all my fault for being too playful. I haven’t been back for so long, they must be very worried about me." (ToT)

Cough, cough, cough...

Seven fathers and six mothers? This strange life form seems to reproduce through multiple individuals interbreeding?

Hmm, there are all sorts of wonders in the universe, and this method of reproduction is also normal, not strange at all, one shouldn’t look at them with colored glasses...

After secretly admonishing himself, Tom pondered the message again and found that there was no decipherable information within it.

The pulling force being very small seemed to imply high gravity, but how high is high?

Very warm, how high does the temperature have to be to be considered warm?

Blue seemed to have no concept of these data and could only describe them broadly, unable to provide precise descriptions.

Tom thought for a moment, then brought over a large plasma heating device, directly raising the temperature to 3,000K—this is roughly equivalent to the surface temperature of a low-mass red dwarf, or the temperature within a few thousand kilometers of a gas giant.

"Try this temperature, do you feel warm? How does it compare to your home?"

The green light rippled, extending slightly: "Wow, it’s much warmer than now, thank you.

But it’s still too cold compared to my home."

"Not a red dwarf? Then..."

Tom directly raised the temperature to 6,000K, which is roughly equivalent to the surface temperature of the Sun.

"Now?"

"Still a bit cold."

Tom simply raised the temperature directly to 10,000K. At this point, Blue said with joy: "This is about right."

10,000K...

This is roughly equivalent to the surface temperature of a massive blue giant star, or the temperature tens of thousands of kilometers deep within a gas giant.

However, temperature alone cannot determine the type of its home planet. But there is another indicator that can.

Gravity.

"Now, come with me to another spaceship. I will simulate different gravities, uh, pulling forces, there, and you can feel them."

Blue was very obedient: "Okay."

A large scientific research vessel was allocated by Tom.

This scientific research vessel had only one large scientific device: a high-gravity simulation device.

Through Strong Nuclear materials and magnetic field confinement, its payload end could rotate around the core at extremely high speeds, creating super-strong gravity through centrifugal force, thereby verifying the reliability of the spaceship’s structure or studying material changes under high-gravity environments.

In extreme cases, it could even simulate gravity as high as a thousand times that of Earth.

The rippling green light easily penetrated the fully enclosed spaceship armor and also the energy shield covering the entire spaceship.

It seemed that neither solid matter nor energy shields had any effect on it.

Under Tom’s guidance, it arrived at the scientific research vessel. At this moment, its internal high-gravity simulation device had also been activated, instantly raising the internal gravity to approximately 50 times that of Earth.

"Go try it."

"Okay. Hmm... the pulling force is much smaller than before, but it’s still too, too great, nowhere near my home planet."

Upon receiving this message, Tom’s heart gradually grew heavy.

"Even 50 times Earth’s gravity is still too small?"
