The territory of the "Observer" began to experience changes. When they did not have any ancient enemies and no crisis was coming, they showed signs of expansion again.
This slight change has attracted the attention of the Galactic civilization, but given the good reputation of the "Observer", no civilization is too worried about this matter.
Most civilizations feel that the "observer" change may be just a small accident, which will not affect them.
But the Tinder Alliance didn't think so. They became more and more uneasy about this and paid close attention to the movements of the "observers".
They always feel as if something big is going to happen.
And Li Wenyuan, who kept piecing together the damaged data in the "database", also discovered some new things under the accumulation of damaged data.
【Z-1422 Lost and Found Record: Paradise Virus】
【Introduction (from the professor): This is an electronic virus that can "forcibly optimize" the AI personality, and it was created by my students. Although he claimed that the device carrying the virus was lost, I always felt he was lying to me. Out of necessity, I still recorded it in the lost and found record, hoping to find it in the future]
【Special Note: Please don’t use mechanical intelligence to find it! 】
"..." He didn't expect that the data he painstakingly extracted could only piece together such a "lost property record" in the end.
Just like the name of the "database", various materials are recorded here.
Among them are ancient and powerful technologies, as well as data that is really just "a record".
But despite this, the "database" encrypts all data equally, even if it is just a string of completely unimportant text.
"...So extracting data here really feels like a lottery." Li Wenyuan was a little emotional.
No one knows what the contents of those damaged data will be.
"But..." Thinking of this, Li Wenyuan looked at another record that he had pieced together:
【A-15 Lost and Found Record: Curtain Penetration Instrument】
[Introduction (from a doctor); it is a magical gadget. I originally made an instrument to test the strength of the "sealing", but the effect was unexpectedly good. Unfortunately, it was stopped by the teacher when it was about to enter mass production. I was scolded for it, and there was only one poor prototype]
【Special note: I accidentally lost this thing before I left, and I don’t know which lucky person will pick it up... Alas~ Don’t we have enough lost things? Why are they all losers? 】
"Curtain penetrating instrument?" This strange instrument in the lost and found records reminded Li Wenyuan of the technology he got when he first came into contact with the database.
"The 'curtain theory'? Looking at it this way, this 'curtain penetrator' sounds like something that can penetrate the 'veil'..."
His gaze returned to the starry sky, every scientific research spacecraft traveling in space and every working synthetic human turned into his eyes at this moment, reaching the sky.
The starry sky is as vast as ever. On some planets with very primitive ecology, you can still see the Milky Way at night like a luminous waterfall.
This scene belongs to the beauty of the Milky Way, but the place outside the Milky Way, although it seems to have bright light occasionally, it always feels unreal.
“…Where is this ‘Curtain Penetrator’? Did someone ‘lucky’ pick it up?”
Along with his thoughts, the "observer" changes more and more frequently.
Even though the "Observer" has a good reputation, the deterrence that belongs exclusively to the "Lost Empire" still exists.
Even the civilization that trusts the "observer" has to be vigilant and carefully observe what the lost empire wants to do.
At this time, a grand speech is being held on the home planet of the "Observer" - the planet "Cradle".
Just like the name of this planet, this is the birthplace of "Observers" and the "cradle" of their civilization.
Since they consciously recorded, they have lived in this place, and gradually realized in the long and favorable living environment—this is a planet that has been artificially transformed.
All creatures can get the most suitable living environment here, and the ecological cycle is also in an unbelievably stable state.
The planet itself seems to be in a state of self-adaptation all the time, as long as it can come here, survival is by no means a problem.
Such a situation is obviously very abnormal, so the "observers" who were still very primitive at that time set their sights on the starry sky for the first time.
Then they saw the huge planet that seemed to cover the sky, and several other small planets looming in the background of the sky.
Although the stars give them the light and heat of life, in the ancient myth of the "Observer", this huge planet that covers the sky is the "Supreme God".
Their astronomy and biology started very early. After all, they are in such a strange celestial environment and planetary environment, no matter what species they are, they will definitely be curious about it.
Under the long scientific development, they gradually understood everything.
This kind of planet basically cannot exist naturally, and will be more or less affected by external factors.
The cosmic environment they live in is a celestial body system that is theoretically not suitable for the birth of life like them.
The planet that can be seen in the sky at any time is a gas giant planet, which is the source of gravity that maintains the entire small celestial body system, and they named it "the father of the sky".
In addition, the planets orbiting the gas giant planets also got their names early on, forming a warm family for this celestial system.
This incident seems to have no effect, but through observation, the still weak "observer" understands that "someone" must have been here.
The planets surrounding the "Father of the Sky" are about the same size as the "Cradle", but only here has formed an extremely perfect ecological environment.
So exploring "who" has been here has become a powerful driving force for the advancement of their civilization.
They touched the starry sky early, and with the help of research on the "cradle" of the parent star, they have extremely high attainments in the transformation of the planetary environment.
Before they could research the hyperspace engine, they began to modify the satellite of the gas giant planet "Father of the Sky".
The planets named "Tianmu", "Brother" and "Sister" have all been terraformed.
Among them, the "sister" planet was destroyed because of their immature transformation technology, and became a "collapsed planet".
But the transformation of the other two planets was very successful. Before they left this galaxy, their civilization had three "Gaia planets".
Such a starting point allowed them to progress rapidly in the starry sky, and soon became the leading civilization in the galaxy.
However, they did not participate in any galactic affairs, and had no interest in the disputes in the outside world. They were only looking for the civilization that gave them the "cradle".
They called that civilization the "Apocalypse" and began to behave in the way they idealized the "Apocalypse" to behave.
Promoting the natives is one aspect, and maintaining the colorfulness of the galaxy is another aspect. They began to "see" and reproduce the actions of the "Apocalypse" a long time ago.
They witnessed the "Battle of Heaven" between two civilizations who claimed to be the orthodox successors of the "Apocalypse", and laughed about it.
Because they always feel that they are the successors of the "Apocalypse", and are working hard to become the new "Apocalypse".
But as more and more discoveries were made, this civilization that was always "seeing" gradually realized something strange.
They discovered that the "Apocalypse" didn't seem to have died, but left here in some way.
So with the intention of exploring the secrets of the "Apocalypse", they searched for many methods and tried to understand what the "Apocalypse" was thinking by conducting sociological experiments on the indigenous people.
Finally, they found a mysterious dense spherical instrument, and their intuition told them that it was a relic left by the "Apocalypse".
They put all their energy into studying this mysterious sphere, and soon discovered the "corner of the world" through this instrument.
They realize—the world is "fake".
This instrument allowed them to see the real "Galaxy", a galaxy full of death and silence, without any birth of life; and here they are, it is just a "virtual" world in operation.
They named the instrument the "Reality Penetrometer" because they felt they were seeing "reality".
After that, they fell into degeneration. When other civilizations were still fighting in the galaxy, they retreated to the current border early and rejected any civilization indifferently.
The huge shock brought by the "truth" almost destroyed them, but the longing for the "Apocalypse" soon made them calm down, and they began to think about how to escape from this "false world".
They speculated that the "Apocalypse" must have discovered the truth of the world just like them, and left here through some means.
So they began to carry out more extreme sociological experiments, resulting in the death of natives is almost a common thing, and finally identified a solution - just like those natives trying to break away from the "virtual universe", take the way of collective suicide to leave here .
“…My compatriots, I know this is an unbelievable thing, but the experiments of the ‘Reality Penetrometer’ and the ‘Virtual Universe’ have already told us the answer. Only in this way can we return to the embrace of ‘reality’.”
"...This is something that those trapped in the 'virtual' cannot understand. I believe that only you who come from the same 'cradle' as me can understand!"
The leader of the "Observer" told the people what they had been concealing, and caused a short-term panic.
However, during the appeasement, these people understood the leader under the strong cohesion, and all chose to believe.
Even though this "collective suicide" behavior sounds extremely absurd, they still made this decision without exception.
The solidarity of the entire civilization and the trust in the "men who go forward" made them choose such a path.
"...But, we are not enough. Our number is not enough to shake the 'virtual device' that traps us."
"We must let other civilizations in the galaxy join, even if it is by deceit or conquest..."
