Chapter 179 The Watcher of the Galaxy
In this pulsar galaxy, the lonely planet orbiting this place is all the more remarkable.
It looks very similar to the mechanical planet. It has undergone a complete mechanized transformation, removing all natural traces.
The planet is covered with thick and thick lines like a network of swamps and rivers, and integrated processing units the size of cities.
From a macro perspective, this planet is a "planetary machine".
It is different from the earth, which is covered with a large number of buildings with different functions and shoulders many responsibilities at the same time. The whole planet is built for one purpose.
As for the purpose...
At this time, Li Wenyuan's scientific research spacecraft approached the planet.
There is no atmosphere here, and there is no organic matter exchange necessary for the survival of living things. Only the cold metal machinery and the magnetic field from the interior of the planet maintain the rotation of the entire planet.
But this place is not without life. Complementing the mechanized planet as a whole are a large number of robots that shuttle around the surface of the planet all the time.
These robots are not in human form. Rather, judging from their division of labor and efficiency, the human form is a drag.
They were either flying at low altitudes, or traveling on the established orbital route, and never stopped their busy movements. Even if a spaceship with obvious differences from them approached here, it did not cause any reaction from them.
"...It seems that this kind of robot is not made by humans..." Li Wenyuan naturally noticed these large numbers of strange robots.
But after comparing the data in the database, he doesn't think these robots were left here by humans.
Although there are many things left by humans in this galaxy, there are always a very small number of parts that do not come from humans.
These robots do not conform to human aesthetics at all just from the appearance, they are all made up of various regular or irregular geometric metal blocks.
Just like the garrison warships that have been destroyed in space, they seem to be from the same civilization.
The world in the eyes of this civilization is obviously completely different from humans and even other galactic civilization races, and it is not even certain whether they belong to the category of "creatures".
Like these robots, there are a large number of them on the planet, and there are giant metal cylinders almost all over the surface of the planet.
These cylinders are densely arranged, and the roots are connected to the mechanical earth. Judging from the scale, they should be an extremely important part of this planet.
At first, Li Wenyuan couldn't figure out these things and what the planet was used for. He could only know that this "planetary machinery" including a huge number of robots seemed to be working for something.
It wasn't until the scientific research spacecraft he was exploring here received a huge data signal returning here from the entire galaxy that he realized what this planet was doing.
The returned data signals contained an unbelievably large amount of information, and even Li Wenyuan's processing power at this time would take a while to process them by category.
This made him look at the planet as a "signal receiving station" in disbelief, because the robots on this planet did not stagnate even for a moment due to the arrival of the data signal, and they and the planet itself seemed to be one. .
Immediately afterwards, the data signals of the second wave and the third wave also returned here. In terms of intervals, this happens every few minutes.
The information content of these data signals is roughly similar, but there is a lot of junk information.
Everything in the galaxy has been returned here in detail. Junk information is not a rare thing in it, and the array of cylinders arranged on the surface of the planet is both the sender and receiver of these signals.
This planet obviously didn’t just start working, perhaps tens of millions of years ago, or even longer, they were already in operation.
And those cylindrical arrays look like high-definition surveillance cameras, "watching" the Milky Way from an unimaginable time.
It is hard to imagine how this kind of "planetary machinery" that is only planet-level can achieve the feat of "monitoring the entire galaxy". The only thing we know is that the civilization that built here must have an unimaginable level of technology.
Based on Li Wenyuan’s thinking, he felt that only humans in the heyday had this kind of black technology.
But it doesn’t look like a human creation in all aspects, it’s more like a product of other civilizations.
“…Could this be a trace left by a civilization that is contemporary with humans, or even older? If so, will humans allow such a thing to continue to ‘monitor’ the galaxy before they leave?”
Li Wenyuan does not believe that human beings have not discovered this obviously wrong galaxy. He is more inclined that human beings have actually tampered with this place, but they have not yet seen the clues.
"...the 'curtain' covering the galaxy may be a point..." He thought of the "curtain" that seemed to be able to block the transmission of information from the galaxy.
The planet monitoring here is obviously not simply collecting information, it is also transmitting the compressed and packaged galaxy information to the outside.
The amount of information that needs several planetary processors to load is actually just a series of mediocre signals after being compressed. The compression ratio is so horrible that Li Wenyuan even doubts whether the information can be completely decompressed.
But he didn't need to look at him to know that those information signals would definitely be blocked by the "curtain".
"In addition..." Looking at this planet full of arrays, he had a strange thought.
"...Maybe, humans have left a lot of things in it..."
This idea is not without origin, not to mention those garrison fleets that have been destroyed, they look like "crisis prototype ships" in a certain artificial crisis of mankind.
Even the planet itself, under more and more sophisticated scanning, has given Li Wenyuan a sense of deja vu.
In contrast, the layout of the mechanical planets revolving around the "central processing unit" that has been blown up seems to be very similar to this planet.
are similar planetary-level processing units, except for the absence of those cylindrical arrays, similar shadows can be seen in many places.
So, the spaceship flew to the "control center" of this planet, a large mechanical city.
Countless robots came and went here, but none of them responded to the spacecraft on the "control center".
And Li Wenyuan let the drone of the spaceship tentatively establish a connection with the control center here, and then read the information content on the outermost layer without any obstruction.
【Here is the "observation terminal", an unknown intruder has been detected, the firewall is starting... the process has been terminated】
【Identification Code: Guardianship Matrix】
【The corresponding keyword has been detected, and the corresponding message has been triggered. The content is as follows:]
【...Let us guess who will come here, will it be Xiaojian? 】
