Chapter 23 Ten years out
Ten years is extremely short on the scale of the universe, and it is only a blink of an eye for civilization.
No one could have imagined that in the past ten years, a terrifying "civilization" was being born in a small galaxy located on the edge of the Milky Way.
...
"Judging from the current damage, at least 20 'cannon fodder' are needed to explore this ruin."
"Why are there so many? Although the Guardian didn't limit our use, we can't squander his resources recklessly. We must reduce this number to single digits."
"In that case, we can only use spells... Do you still have the mental strengthening drugs you bought last time?"
"That thing is a sample developed by the guardian. I begged him with a straight face, just those two."
"It's a pity, I want to experience that superhuman feeling again... Forget it, do you want to bet? I will enter the depths of the ruins before you, and the loss will be smaller than you!"
"Heh! The young man wants to compete with an old man like me? If it is normal, I have to weigh one or two, but after the consciousness is synchronized to the synthetic human, it is still unknown who will win!"
At the gate of a ruin, two aliens were talking, laughing and betting.
They are Cowper and the professor who have lived here for nearly 10 years. In the past ten years, they have indeed excavated many relics, but they only account for 15% of the planet.
Even so, this 15% has brought many unimaginable benefits to Li Wenyuan.
Today is the day they launched the "O12 Regional Relics Excavation Project". In the past 10 years, the excavation of relics has become a part of their lives.
From a cautious attitude at the beginning, to gradually letting go, and then to indulging in it.
They gradually became more and more interested in it, wishing they could come here sooner.
"Then the preparations will begin. After the ten-second countdown, we will go in together." Cowper took the lead in putting a helmet-like instrument on his head, with a sense of impatience in his eyes.
Professor didn't say much, and put on the same equipment.
After just a few seconds, two synthetic humans not far away suddenly raised their heads. In the prosthetic eyes that should be godless, there is a human light shining.
This is the "consciousness synchronizer" developed by Li Wenyuan to them, which can synchronize the consciousness signal of the organism to the synthetic human, so that the biological organism can control the synthetic human almost perfectly.
These extraterrestrial archeology experts couldn’t put it down after trying it out. The powerful feeling of “becoming” a synthetic human made them fascinated by this feeling in an instant.
In addition, exploring these dangerous ruins after becoming a synthetic human also gave them a huge sense of excitement.
All kinds of weird phenomena and dangers that could only be seen in movies and novels in the past, now they can experience them personally.
Overcoming many difficulties and discovering hidden truths and surprises brought by treasures are also spiritual seasonings.
The old professor has also explored many alien ruins, but now he only feels that his first half of his life was a waste of time, and he wishes to come here sooner.
The relics that he used to carefully control the drone to explore now seem to him to be childish and uninteresting. It is not as good as the thrilling first-person adventure after "incarnating" a synthetic human here.
The two synths who have completed the synchronization of alien consciousness glanced at each other, then walked away and disappeared into the ruins.
At this time, on the other side of the earth, in the huge "Guardian Core", Li Wenyuan was thinking about something.
There is a string of data neatly arranged in front of his eyes, which is the result of his ten years of business.
【Repair of space facilities completed: SkySpace Station; Wide Area Signal Interdiction Station; Superluminal Inhibitor】
【Scale of unmanned fleet: Sky Veil × 1; Titan × 1; Battlecruiser × 25; Battleship × 10; Frigate × 200】
【Completion of guardianship matrix: 45%】
…
In addition to these data, there are some unshown results.
For example, technology, Li Wenyuan has researched almost all level 5 technologies, and a few level 6 technologies have also been successfully researched. Thanks to these technologies, he has also produced a lot of good things.
"...It has almost reached a bottleneck. The research of most of the 6th-level technologies starts in more than ten years, not to mention the more advanced technologies that require hundreds or even thousands of years... Is it because the computing power of the scientific research area is not enough?"
Looking at the scientific research division that was already in full operation, he felt a little helpless.
The research difficulty of these technologies is increasing exponentially. At the beginning, scientific research divisions can be easily dealt with, but at this point it has been a bit behind the times.
"I have to find a way to improve scientific research capabilities... Should I go to other planets to build more scientific research divisions, or build giant scientific research buildings on a planetary scale?"
“…But no matter what, we have to go to the interstellar again. As our hometown, the solar system cannot be too crowded, and there is no way to build everything here. We have to go to other galaxies to develop…”
"So, am I qualified to stand on the interstellar stage?"
Li Wenyuan's eyes flickered, and he looked at the distant starry sky.
There, a fleet floated neatly in the void.
His ten-year production capacity has basically been used to build this fleet. He has always been insecure and urgently needs this space defense force to eliminate possible intruders.
After repairing the "Sky Sky Station" that fell to the star, he found many blueprints for the construction of warships.
From a frigate less than a kilometer in length to a titan warship nearly a hundred kilometers in length, there are everything on it.
And he also referred to the drawings and built his first space fleet.
"...Go to Ke Ruibo to see, this time should be able to make an accurate assessment of the strength of the current interstellar civilization. If it is within the acceptable range, then it can be expanded, otherwise many things will not be realized in the solar system..."
Along with his thoughts, a group of synthetic humans in the space station walked into a scientific research ship.
He doesn't plan to buy a lot of things, so a scientific research ship with all functions is the best choice for exploring the universe.
Several frigates broke away from the fleet, and escorted the scientific research ship to the edge of the galaxy.
After leaving the sun's gravity well, they will start their hyperspace engines and head towards the Cribs trade enclave they have visited once.
Lilian, who was doing daily prayers, also seemed to feel something, and raised her head.
Her human face has not changed much in ten years, which once made Li Wenyuan very surprised.
After taking a piece of her hair for testing, Li Wenyuan discovered that her cells were aging at an extremely slow rate, and her regeneration rate was quite terrifying, which resulted in her not having any obvious changes in appearance for at least five hundred years.
After some inquiries, I learned that Lilian's race was born like this. In her race, there are even characters who have lived for more than two thousand years.
Since then, Li Wenyuan has become more and more curious about her race, and wants to go to her home planet to find out.
"I hope I can learn useful information this time, otherwise I will be bored if I stay on the earth all the time..."
