Chapter 132 The journey ends
Although the war between the two "Far Travelers" has not yet ended, anyone with a discerning eye can see what the situation is now.
The battle situation in the pulsar galaxy has ended from the previous stalemate, and the fleet of the "Ancient Farwalker", which is more suitable for fighting here, successfully defeated the enemy forces here.
The remaining "far traveler" fleet had to make an emergency jump in order to survive, and it is unknown which barren space they jumped into.
The decisive battle fleet that shouldered the important task of "changing homes" also disappeared along with the "Infinite Lighthouse" galaxy, and no signs of existence could be detected.
The current "far traveler" basically has no defense force except for the heavily armed star base in the galaxy.
This kind of star base armed to the teeth may be an extremely difficult threat to ordinary civilizations, but it is just a slightly harder shell for the "Ancient Traveler".
The fleet is the most important thing in the interstellar war, and the "far traveler" who lost all the fleets has been sentenced to death.
The fleet responsible for attacking the home galaxy of "Farwalker" came here through the hyperspace channel. The heavily armed star base was like a live target, and it obediently raised its flag to surrender after hundreds of shots.
And the urban planet "Fountain of Knowledge" has completely fallen into an atmosphere of despair.
This is the home planet of the "far traveler". They wandered from the former ring world to this place, and transformed it into an "ideal city". At the same time, they named the satellite of this planet "Wanderer" to commemorate them. journey of.
Of course, the main reason they will settle here is the special planet in the nearby galaxy, which they call the "Database".
There are a large number of ancient databases, preserved and encrypted with incomprehensible means, and it is difficult to extract data from them even with their technology.
But this kind of place convinced them that this was one of the relics of the "Apocalypse".
In order to find out the secrets of the "Apocalypse", they spared no effort to transform a planet into an "ideal city" to live here, and then set the "Database" planet as the most core secret place of civilization.
Only the top scientists recognized by them can go there.
These secret workers will work here for a lifetime, but the fact is that until now they have not been able to extract much useful things from those ancient databases.
They used the broken data to roughly piece together a giant structure that could break the boundaries of dimensions. They were happy about this for a long time, thinking that this was one of the secrets of the "Apocalypse".
But in view of the fact that the activation of this giant structure will destroy the entire galaxy, and there is a "protector" in the galaxy that is much stronger than them, this "giant structure dream" has to end here.
However, the "Farwalkers", who have lived for a long time, even longer than their old opponent "Watcher", have not given up on this idea.
As long as they survive until no one in this galaxy is stronger than them, they can start this plan again, and then they will go further.
It's a pity that the revived group of "synthetic evolution" people brought their journey to an end, and now countless huge warships cover the sky of the "fountain of knowledge".
It used to be their turn to cover other people's sky, now it's their turn.
All the "far travelers" live here. When the mechanical riot happened, these prosthetics in the Jiushu battlefield were all evacuated to this urban planet.
This place has an extremely large living space, and it is not difficult to accommodate the people of their entire civilization.
Because of the robot riot, they are now forced to do everything themselves, fearing that even this last abode will fall.
And when the decisive battle fleet, which they had placed high hopes on, disappeared, they knew that they were doomed, and now their life or death depends on what these former "compatriots" think.
"...What will our future end be like?" Some of the senior executives of the "Traveler" gathered together showed a look of despair.
"...The decisive battle seems to have failed. From this point of view, we can only embark on the path of destruction."
The increasingly dense atmosphere made their prosthetic organs unable to keep them calm. At this moment, they wished that they were a machine and didn't have to worry about these things.
They never thought that they would have this day. They survived the crisis of subverting the galaxy and the battle of heaven with their old opponents, but in the end they would die at the hands of those former compatriots.
"—Do you think surrender is feasible?" Some of these self-esteemed "far travelers" had such an idea.
It is not surprising that such an idea appears under the crisis of life and death, but it is always unimaginable for them as a lost empire.
"...It's probably impossible, after all, we did...betrayed them. Are betrayers allowed to exist?"
"Resistance will not have much effect. Our army is not strong, not to mention the robots we rely on most of the time... It's a pity that we still couldn't go further in the end."
A high-level "far traveler" explained their current situation, and then went on to say:
"But we may still be able to use the last point. If those former compatriots still maintain their rational thinking, there will definitely not be any massacres or the like."
"As the 'fools of the people' being nailed to the pillar of shame in history is the end we deserve, but we are still the 'pioneers' from ancient times to the present, and if our death can appease their anger, it is time for this With a long-decayed body to make the final contribution."
With the current technology, even if the heart is destroyed, he will not be allowed to die. Only by completely destroying this place responsible for storing knowledge and wisdom can he be determined to die.
After a faint sound, the high-ranking person who had been all-powerful in the "Far Traveler" fell into a pool of blood, and there was no possibility of regeneration forever.
Seeing this, most of the other high-level officials silently took out their weapons, making themselves one of the clouds of history.
However, there are still a small number of high-level executives who cherish their own lives yelling "a group of lunatics" and stumbled out of this conference room full of corpses.
"I've only lived for more than 20,000 years, and I'm still young, and I can't die yet!" A "far traveler" rushed between the passages, constantly planning in his heart how to make a comeback.
He is indeed a very young person in "Far Traveler". Naturally, he has his own means to achieve this position. Ambition is one of his motivations.
But his journey came to an end, and the army unit of the "Ancient Traveler" - the mechanical combat body, began to wipe out the rebels in this prosperous urban planet.
Naturally, these unwilling people who have evil intentions and plan to rise again are included.
Even though they hid well, they still failed to escape under the special lie detection method of machine intelligence.
The "Ancient Travelers" did not give them mercy, and ended their lives directly.
But for those high-level "far traveler" who have gathered together to commit suicide, these mechanical life forms that have completed "synthetic evolution" unexpectedly held a space funeral for them.
Some young "Ancient Far Travelers" wondered why they did this, and their compatriots answered like this:
"Revenge has never been the driving force for us to move forward, 'following' is. We are burdened with the mission of those who have died, which does not include revenge."
“In our ancient social customs, ‘suicide’ is a behavior that is cast aside. We know why these people commit suicide. At least at this moment, I think they can walk with us.”
After this, the handover ceremony of the "Far Traveler" came to an end.
Those prosthetics are accepting the "synthetic evolution" of the "far traveler" on a large scale, regardless of their will.
As the "far traveler" said, revenge has never been their motivation. In order to move forward better, they need more compatriots. Transforming these prosthetics into "mechanical life" is only the first step.
The fleet of former "Far Travelers" who were trapped in the "Infinite Lighthouse" also reappeared after a period of time, but unexpectedly, they seemed to be influenced by the current "Far Travelers" and were struggling to move forward.
The former vassal civilizations of the "Far Traveler" were all liberated and regained their freedom.
Among them are happy people, because they didn't want to live in the shadow of the lost empire; but there are also some civilizations that were supposed to rely on the protection of the lost empire.
For example, the Kool Federation, a criminal enterprise that has "harmed" many countries in order to complete the mission of "Far Traveler", and at the moment his vassal obligations were lifted, many lawsuits were filed against the "Galactic Community" .
But what makes people feel emotional is that many of these complaints were voluntarily withdrawn after a period of time, as if they had given up using this method against the Kool Federation.
The reason was also exposed shortly after, because many people at the bottom of these civilizations had large-scale riots when they knew that the "grey industries" they regarded as life-saving straws were about to be banned.
Their civilized government did not give them living space, but these cancer-like companies gave them a glimmer of hope. How could they accept the result of "disillusioned hope"?
Under the pressure of some undercurrents, these civilizations had to withdraw their complaints and began to take the initiative to improve the life of the bottom, hoping to bring these people back to the embrace of the government.
As for those civilizations that did not withdraw their lawsuits, it was because they were indeed the targets of scourge.
In order to deal with the rising crime rate, they have invested more than ever in law enforcement. Even the laboratories and other places that used to be responsible for scientific research have been demolished and rebuilt into buildings such as "police stations" to solve those crimes. "Gray area" issues.
Their citizens are all good people who don’t know the dangers of the universe. After being bewitched by the criminals of criminal enterprises, they easily embarked on the black road.
Because of this, after these civilizations lost the umbrella of the Kuer Federation, they immediately urged the "Galaxy Community" to restrict this criminal enterprise, and it is best to use some force.
Of course, there is also a certain civilization that is settled by criminal enterprises, but welcomes the arrival of this group of criminals.
Because this civilization has a way to extract the value of criminals, in their civilization, criminals even need to pay taxes.
Their tax agency may be the most powerful tax collection agency in the entire galaxy, and their tax law may be the most complete tax collection code in the galaxy. Even passing space creatures can be collected by them in a unique way. small money.
Almost no civilization is willing to communicate with them, but this civilization has established the most prosperous stargate network in the entire galaxy, so it is impossible not to deal with them.
So it was really bad luck for the Kool Federation to find them. Now this criminal enterprise even has to pay the company branch there, otherwise it will face the embarrassing situation of being blocked from the Stargate.
However, there are only a few such civilizations after all, and most civilizations are victims of the Kool Federation.
Therefore, after a brief discussion, the "Galaxy Community" quickly asked the Kool Federation to withdraw those criminal branches, otherwise they would be subject to joint sanctions, and the more serious result would be to ban the war on the grounds of "closing the criminal branch" .
After a large number of branches were closed, this criminal enterprise fell into a slump and began to carry out large-scale reforms, hoping to find a new way out.
The newly born "far traveler" civilization also announced their existence to the entire galaxy.
