MTLNOVEL Chapter 355: The Exotic Realm Race in the Ocean
```
This damn cultivation program is causing a lot of trouble for this little Mirage Dragon, it actually prefers water and dislikes fire.
Thus, it thinks about escaping every day to play for a while, of course, it just wanders around by the ocean, not going into the water.
"Big Bright Star, help us look for some civilization relics... even low-level civilization relics will do."
"Big Golden, I beg you. Haven't scavenged for years, now I'm getting birdy out of boredom."
People start to sweet-talk this pitiful little Mirage Dragon.
Because it's so popular, the masses jokingly call it "Big Bright Star".
And the little Mirage Dragon's eyes are fluttering, somewhat at a loss, it has just swallowed a bit of Fire Attribute Ore, today can't enter the water, closing its eyes to sense something on the shore, pacing back and forth, appearing anxious.
Suddenly, it sensed something and waved its claw in the direction of a distant place.
It seemed to be indicating that something in that direction was rather strange.
"Really?!" Lu Ying's eyes flickered, and he waved his hand to dispatch the Flying Dragon Squad for high-altitude detection.
5 Flying Dragons took off from the ground, having become generally bigger due to consuming Fire Attribute Ore, their Life Force is stronger, and not only can their mouths spout Liquid Acid, but also Fire Breathing.
Level 5 Insect Race, whether it be Life Force or battle Ability, all greatly enhanced.
Each "Flying Dragon" carried about 20 Reconnoitre soldier on its back.
Apart from various "vision" and "hearing" Ability users, soldiers are also equipped with various communication products.
Like radar, telegraph and the like, after all, the current industrial capability is not as weak as at the beginning, and some basic Detection equipment can already be produced.
After half an hour, the Flying Dragon Squad hurriedly returned.
The leading Captain, with a face full of excitement, raised the wireless device in his hand and said eagerly: "Major, we've detected wireless electronic signals in the high skies!! They have a certain pattern, it's very likely the electromagnetic wave signals of an Exotic Realm Civilization!"
"What?!" Officers all widened their pupils.
"It's correct; the signal can only be received at altitudes above two thousand meters."
Lu Ying's heart sank, and he dashed up to the highest floor's Detection room in Sky City. (There's a 1000-meter altitude difference between Higher and Lower floor)
Here laid a bulky "computer", he tapped a few keys, entered commands, and a long antenna kept extending upwards, also aligning the external Detection radar towards the direction of the electromagnetic waves.
Yes, with technological progress, Human 18th Civilization... finally produced computers!
However, the production capacity is extremely low, the quality yield rate of 22-nanometer chips is frustratingly low.
Moreover, performance is rather Ordinary, similar to the E3 processor from the early 21st century. (Manufactured using the Universal Factory.)
But this device is nevertheless highly sought after, every department wants to get their hands on a few!
"Indeed, there are unknown electromagnetic waves... very faint."
He said to a soldier responsible for information communication: "Hurry up and decrypt the text, and calculate how far the other party is from us!"
"I'm going to report this news to the leadership."
However, at this moment, the worker in front of the computer suddenly rubbed his eyes; his heart beat ferociously.
"Major, wait, look quickly!"
They were suddenly struck by the sight on the computer screen, the signal fluctuations had morphed like tadpoles, forming a series of complex texts!
Even before the text's betrayal, a picture was drawn, looking like a map.
The map depicted a large coral reef.
"What is this…?"
This scene was simply incredible, shaking everyone present.
Because every civilization's information coding is different, without decoding, the computer's underlying data is just a series of 0s and 1s.
But the screen indeed showed an unrecognized language text, and an unknown image.
It felt as if the human computer was directly infected with a virus, being controlled by the other party. Any coding, password, all became transparent things.
"Do we have this kind of font library in our computers?"
"Obviously not..."
Human 18th Civilization naturally doesn't have hackers; the chips are copied from the human mother civilization, the system is also Windows 7, also copied, there is a scarcity of talent in information engineering, thus somewhat perplexed for the time being.
Lu Ying responded with lightning speed, yelled: "Quickly disconnect the network! Check the computer for viruses right away, then… contact a Translator, translate what exactly is written on this computer."
…
On the Pangu Continent, the Ninth Epoch, the 30,769th day, the Humans encountered an Exotic Realm Race in the ocean.
Potentially possessing technology.
Developed wireless communication!
Even this wireless communication was very Deceitful, directly decrypting humanity's computer.
Both Materialism and Idealist principles seemed quite terrifying!
This matter quickly drew the utmost attention of the government of Green City; Lu Yuan, upon hearing the news, also felt a mix of excitement and concern, and immediately declared the entire City to enter a state of wireless silence, and to prepare for the City to ascend and evacuate the area.
He felt secretly relieved that fortunately, the current central host was the "Opium poppy", and the network connection was mainly through "Green Grass Paradise". Otherwise, just now, if the computer was infected with a virus, it would have been a big trouble!
"The source of the radio signal is to the northeast, which is the direction we're heading."
"The exact location is unknown, it's very vague, it might just be inadvertently emitted."
"There's a bit less text, the difficulty of translating is relatively high."
"The general meaning is... trade... we welcome any civilization passing by here to trade with us..."
"We advocate peace, love exchange, wish to develop sparks of friendship with various great civilizations in the Ninth Epoch."
"Yeah, about that!"
The reason Translation Ability is considered Divine Skill, is because the working principle of this Ability is very subtle.
As long as one sees text, an approximate meaning will directly pop up in the mind.
"Trade? Could it be another Alien Civilization?" Lu Yuan's eyebrows furrowed.
Then he thought of something, "You mean to say this civilization hasn't discovered us, instead broadcasting wireless electronic signals on a large scale, and we just happened to receive them? Otherwise, why would this message be so weak?"

"That's... hard to judge." one communications expert said, "The Idealist Interference of the Pangu Continent is serious, and wireless electronic signals transmitted long distances would quickly weaken."
"One possibility is, they have already discovered us, and are deliberately probing whether we have wireless electronic technology..."
"Another possibility, they are truly audacious, broadcasting to all directions."
