Chapter 167 Guess
In fact, a long time ago, Li Wenyuan had some guesses about his identity as the "Guardian Matrix".
Judging from the name alone, this seems to be a comprehensive control system to keep "something" running normally.
According to the remaining information in the remains related to human beings, the "Guardian Matrix" may be a "monitor" to ensure the smooth development of the galaxy civilization as a whole and not to die in some inexplicable crisis.
Li Wenyuan himself is also trying to act in the galaxy according to the original duties of the "Guardian Matrix". In addition to looking for human remains, he is also on guard against threats that may destroy the galaxy.
But there are still many strange things. The biggest problem is, why did this "guardian matrix" responsible for maintaining the normal progress of the galaxy turn into such a miserable state?
You must know that when Li Wenyuan first came here, he was really barren. Even the most basic **** fleet did not exist here, and the whole earth was even in the countdown to self-destruction.
After actually developing for so long and vaguely restoring its former glory, he is very clear about the strength of the "Guardian Matrix" that 0 has inherited human heritage.
But logically speaking, there shouldn’t be anything stronger than the “Guardian Matrix” in this galaxy. Before humans cover the galaxy with a “curtain”, it is impossible to leave a threat inside that even the “Guardian Matrix” cannot handle.
Otherwise, how is it different from planting a bomb in your back garden?
But the "Guardian Matrix" has become dilapidated, which is undoubtedly very abnormal.
Even those lost empires that have been forcibly promoted can be maintained to this day. Why is the "Guardian Matrix" a genuine human "civilization-level monitor" so easily damaged?
Give up the unrealistic idea that "the guardianship matrix is a peaceful artificial intelligence without any force deterrence, so it was destroyed by some unsightly civilization", all signs seem to point to the fact that there was once an incredible "terrorist threat".
This "threat" had a war with the "Guardian Matrix" after the humans left, at least the "Guardian Matrix" was severely damaged.
As for whether the threat has been resolved, whether it is in some kind of dormant state, this is still a mystery to be found.
The statement of the ether dragon gave Li Wenyuan a brand new guess.
"Galaxy Civilization Comprehensive Tester" sounds like a comprehensive title covering many aspects.
It is well known that the final part of the test is usually "examination" and "evaluation".
Then is the part that performs the "galactic exam" also, or was part of the "Guardian Matrix"?
Li Wenyuan always remembers one thing, because he has not seen that string of characters for a long time, that is:
"The guardianship matrix is completed".
When he restarted his own database and received the "Sky Veil Battleship", this special supplementary explanation popped up.
He originally thought that it would be gradually completed during the future exploration of the galaxy, but it turns out that there are many things related to human beings in the galaxy, but not many things related to the "Guardian Matrix".
The current "Guardian Matrix" is still incomplete. This part that has never been found is also one of the secrets and truths he has been looking for.
"...What's the matter? Oh, you are mechanically intelligent, right? Maybe you are not very interested in organic creatures like me? If you don't need dragons, I can help you find rare mineral deposits..."
Ether Dragon didn't understand what Li Wenyuan's long silence meant, and took it as a common situation in omnics.
She has known for a long time that this spaceship related to humans that came here is an omnic. After all, there is nothing in this spaceship, and even robots cannot see it.
And Li Wenyuan also came back to his senses following the signal of the ether dragon. He looked at the molten planets in the galaxy and understood why these planets looked like this.
Ether Dragon lays her eggs in these planets, and those eggs themselves have incredible high temperature, directly turning these planets into big furnaces.
As for why these eggs haven’t hatched after so long, Li Wenyuan thought about it and drove in the fleet surrounding this galaxy.
...
"...So, you humans are really scary..."
The Ether Dragon, who was surrounded by a large group of scientific research spacecraft and scanned, complained and said this sentence.
At this time, a star base has been built by Li Wenyuan in this galaxy, and a fleet is parked near this base, acting as a guard here.
He felt that it would be better for him to be directly responsible for the safety of the ether dragon and her eggs. This kind of creature born before the big bang might help him reveal the secrets of this universe.
Those unlucky ones who strayed into this place by mistake have already been invited out. The Tinder Alliance and the Space Amoeba Rescue Agency are okay, but Hawkeye Khan felt that something was not right when he saw the shocking posture of the Aether Dragon.
Then, as he guessed, this mysterious and powerful space creature with unpredictable background is not in a hostile relationship with the "Guardian".
In other words, the Ether Dragon unilaterally maintains an unbelievably friendly and intimate attitude towards the "Guardian". As for whether this situation is caused by the terrifying fleets that flock here, it is another matter.
Hawkeye Khan now feels that his odds of winning the "Trial of the Great Khan" are lower than ever.
Originally he thought that he could still compete with Lone Wolf Khan, but after losing his wife and losing troops at Ether Dragon, his disadvantages have been infinitely magnified.
At this time, he scolded the curator for his dishonesty in his heart. The "weakness of the ether dragon" provided by those guys was actually wrong! No matter how often they attacked the ether dragon, her scales remained unchanged.
So Hawkeye Khan decided to ask those curators why they "do not do things with money" while seeking guidance from his mentor.
And the Tinder Alliance, which returned to the interstellar society, also released the record of the "mythical creature" "Ether Dragon", which also made the galactic civilization understand that there is also a giant beast that seems to have a relationship with the "Guardian" .
This galaxy also got a new name—"Greenhouse Dragon Lair". After all, because of the relationship between the ether dragon and her eggs, the average temperature here is much higher than other galaxies.
As for Li Wenyuan, who surrounded the Ether Dragon with a large group of scientific research spaceships, he allocated part of his scientific research capabilities to study why the Ether Dragon's eggs did not hatch.
Although he also guessed whether this situation was caused by only one female ether dragon, but after actual inspection, it was discovered that humans had already solved this problem, and she reproduced parthenogenetically.
Parthenogenous reproduction seems to be common only in relatively primitive creatures, but it is clear that this kind of law does not apply to creatures of the level of ether dragons.
Everything about her is very healthy, but she is quite shy about Li Wenyuan's "physical examination" method, and she reluctantly agreed to this physical examination under the deterrence of a large number of fleets and worries about eggs.
And in the process, she also learned that the visitor from the suspected omnic civilization in front of her actually had a direct inheritance relationship with human beings, and was essentially a part of human beings.
So she was also thankful that she didn't have any bad thoughts about human beings. If so, she might be eliminated as an "unstable factor".
"...Did you find anything?" After the inspection, Ether Dragon asked about the inspection.
Although there is no expression on the giant beast's face, her anxiety and expectation can be heard from the verbal signals full of decorative symbols.
"There must be some discoveries..." Li Wenyuan thought about it, looked at the molten planets flowing with magma, and then continued:
"It depends on whether you can accept your egg wearing that kind of bow..."
