Chapter 33 Selection
The celebration of the floating city has a lot of people, but most of them are concentrated in the center of the city.
In this city, the closer the area is to the atmosphere shield, the more deserted it is. No one is willing to get close to this dangerous area. Only patrols and monitoring without dead ends will be here.
Patrol, this is a group of guards responsible for protecting the safety of the air shield. As long as they are in this area, their rights are almost equal to unlimited, and they can subdue or even kill any suspicious person.
Because for the residents here, there are two most important facilities in this floating city, which are the prerequisites for everyone to live a stable life.
One is the power core of the floating city, it is located in the deepest part of the entire island, only the chief scientist and engineer can go there.
It is responsible for supplying energy to the entire city, and it is also responsible for keeping the city from falling.
The other one is this atmospheric shield.
It ensures that the air here is always in a suitable condition, and it is also responsible for keeping the city safe from the terrible storm that occurs every sixty years.
Even today is the celebration day, the patrol team still did not relax the intensity of monitoring and patrolling.
At this time, the celebration is still going on steadily.
The synthetic man controlled by Li Wenyuan checked all the places in the floating city in less than a day.
At the same time, he also confirmed the residence of the "chief scientist" here, and rushed there directly.
In this small floating city, every inch of land is very precious. Even people at the level of "chief scientist" live in a large apartment.
The door here still uses an old-fashioned electronic lock, and the synthetic man easily opened the door with a flash of his eyes.
As soon as he entered the room, the chief scientist who had just returned from the celebration bumped into the synthetic man.
For them who live here, there is no difference between the synthetic man in front of them and the "alien".
"You are... what?" When the Chief Scientist uttered this sentence, he even took a step back unconsciously.
After all, an alien has entered the house. Even if the chief scientist is well-informed, it is impossible to keep calm immediately.
"I am the guardian, the former owner of this place."
The synthetic man's fluent language stunned the chief scientist, and the next words shocked him even more.
"I re-expanded to this galaxy and found you on this gas giant planet. I have no intention of interfering with your lives, but I need scientists now."
"I have roughly observed your technological level. To be honest, you are no different from 'natives' now."
"But your level as chief scientist is indeed remarkable, and I think you are valuable."
"If you'd like to work for me, I can help you with a problem. How would you like it?"
The synthesizer's voice was flat from beginning to end, as if he didn't care what the chief scientist's answer was.
This is indeed Li Wenyuan's idea. If the scientist doesn't want to come, he doesn't care.
After all, he is just an "indigenous" scientist, and he won't waste too much time on it.
He has already started construction of a star base in this galaxy, and will build an invisible observatory to observe this floating city at that time, so as to provide samples for sociological research.
And in this galaxy, only here can attract his attention a little bit.
Robots of this level of detail only existed in science fiction in his civilization, so he soon believed the synths.
So after taking a deep breath, he tentatively stated his request:
"This...respected 'Guardian', can you take all of us, or some of us, away from here to a habitable planet?"
He felt that his whimsical idea might offend this self-proclaimed "Guardian" civilization, but he still had to try it.
Because for their race, there is no future for development in this floating city, they are likely to be "trapped" in this city until civilization perishes.
And Li Wenyuan also glanced at him, controlled the synthetic man to shake his head and said:
"Your value is not enough for me to act like this. Even though I have pity for your lives, I have plans for every planet under my control."
"And you," said at this moment, the synthetic man glanced at the chief scientist.
"Your overall species quality can't be called efficient. If you want to live on a planet under my control, I think at least each of you must reach your level."
"Of course, I can also meet your needs in another way. I will provide a colony ship and a matching star map. It can accommodate all of you, and has a stable circulation system and energy supply. Sailing sails for a long time."
"But I won't provide guards. All the troubles you encounter in the interstellar world can only be solved by yourself."
"You don't have to choose to leave, and stay here with your race. I won't interfere with any of your actions."
"..." The guardian's words caused the chief scientist to fall into silence for a while.
Of course he didn't think that this alien civilization would kindly send them all to a habitable planet, but this unexpected result still surprised him a bit.
"...I need to discuss this matter with the people, can you wait for a while? You will get the result in up to three days."
"Sure, I'll stay here until I get an answer."
"Thank you for your generosity..."
After the chief scientist finished speaking, he left the room in a hurry, and Li Wenyuan also temporarily focused his attention on other places.
The resources consumed by a colony ship are negligible to him now, and he thinks it is worthwhile to exchange the allegiance of a scientist with good ability.
But now there is one more thing that makes him very concerned.
“…This galaxy is highlighted on the ancient star map, but I didn’t find anything worthy of attention here.”
"The civilization on this mining station is also a recent outsider, and there is nothing special about it."
"Is there anything in this galaxy that I haven't discovered yet..."
Thinking about this, he turned his gaze to the middle of the galaxy, the circle of asteroid belts.
There are a lot of asteroids here, which is a good place to mine minerals.
It is also because there are too many asteroids here, Li Wenyuan only made a rough detection and then put his focus on other locations.
Now, the space base above the stars is being constructed intensively by engineering ships, and it will soon mark that this galaxy is under his control.
"...So among these asteroids, is there anything special?" He controlled the scientific research spacecraft and gradually approached the asteroid belt.
And one of the asteroids, which is very far away, trembled slightly at this time.
Some kind of extremely dim green fluorescence began to slowly overflow from the cracks in the rock.
