Chapter 339 Death will never stop
"...is this the 'Miniature Galaxy' created by the Sentinel organization?"
Looking at this very familiar thing, the scientists of the "far traveler" couldn't help asking questions.
Because judging from the design style, this "miniature galaxy" is very similar to the "miniature galaxy" that humans once left in the Milky Way, and it is even almost directly identified as a human relic.
It was a sharp-eyed scientist who discovered the words "Sentry" on the surface of the "Miniature Galaxy" box, and judged that the craftsmanship was different from some details after construction. Not a human creation.
"But the technology of building the 'miniature galaxy' is not something ordinary civilizations can master, right? Judging from the findings in the previous archaeological remains, the 'Sentry' organization is at most the level of an ordinary lost empire, even those lost empires that funded them are not It may be higher than their level."
"So we can still reasonably guess that this 'miniature galaxy' is directly related to the 'Apocalypse', for example, this technology is indeed from the 'Apocalypse'. Didn't the 'Guardian' say it? The 'Apocalypse' came Over here, the technology may have stayed here for a purpose."
Several scientists who traveled with the ship discussed it, and finally they all focused on the expert who had the most in-depth research on the "Sentinel" organization among them, expecting what explanation he could give.
After carefully studying the words engraved on the "Miniature Galaxy", the expert said slowly, word by word:
"The final product of the 'Lights' project - 'Miniature Galaxy·Lights'."
"This seems to be the name given to this 'miniature galaxy' by the 'Sentry' organization. From this name, we can roughly know what it is for. Maybe the 'Sentry' organization decided to move everything after being cornered. Enter this subspace box, hoping to sweep it back in the future."
The expert interpreted the above text, and soon another scientist interrupted:
"But their technology seems to be a little bad. The subspace position distorts the light inside and outside. We can't observe the inside from the outside, and they can't observe the outside from the inside. Is this done on purpose? Then how do they know? When can I come out?"
The experts who studied the "Sentinel" organization shook their heads, obviously not knowing why.
Perhaps it was just as the scientist said that the technology of the "Sentry" organization was not very good, which made such a serious mistake.
But considering the environment where they are being pressed by the "hunter" civilization step by step, this mistake is understandable.
"So we need to find a place to release them? Shouldn't there be nothing more accurate than asking them face to face?" Someone proposed this, but a steady scientist quickly rejected it:
"Wait, let's explore this giant structure first, maybe there are still things worth noting."
So after carefully preserving the "miniature galaxy", the drone continued to explore in the giant structure.
The result did not exceed the expectation of the steady scientist. A huge computer was found at the top of the lighthouse giant structure, judging from the architectural structure, it should belong to the "light".
On the alloy wall next to this computer, you can still see the slogans of the "Sentinel" organization engraved there row by row.
【When other civilizations collapse, we stand still】
【When other civilizations give up resistance, we teach them how to fight back】
With such a computer stored here, the "far traveler" naturally wants to access it to take a look, and even after they approached, they found that this computer can still be turned on.
Different from the dilapidated state of the giant structure itself, this computer seems to be preserved quite intact, with all kinds of protective measures complete. It seems that it is used to save some important data.
Without much hesitation, the dusty computer was switched on again.
The dust was blown into the universe with the operation of the heat dissipation equipment, and the old big screen flashed a few pictures before entering the "Password Question" interface.
And the question is simple: "What is our goal?"
Seeing this question, the scientists all looked at the expert who had the deepest research on "Sentinel" in the team, and the expert also wrote on the big screen with the text of the "Sentinel" organization through the drone:
【We are the Sentinels, a group of exiles, oppressed, refugees, ex-soldiers, and all who have lost everything in other shocks】
【We were funded and born, and we swear that we will use all our strength and all the assistance we receive to fight against this "natural disaster"】
【Whether it’s "Insect Plague", "Void Invasion", or "Hunter", we will fight it to the last moment, no matter how long it takes, and whether we still exist]
【…】
The answer to this question is very long in words, but only halfway through the description, it shows that the password is correct, revealing the hidden things in this computer.
"This saves...wait a minute, what seems to be saved is 'consciousness data'?"
And this result also instantly reminded the other "far traveler" of something, and then said in unison:
"The same method as ours? Is the Sentinel organization also planning to have a "resurrection" in the future?"
This method of preserving consciousness data for future regeneration is very familiar to the "Far Travelers", because they used to do this to escape the suppression of "compatriots", but they did not expect to meet civilizations with similar ideas to them outside the galaxy .
"Since consciousness data is preserved here, what is preserved in the 'miniature galaxy'?"
As soon as this question arose in their hearts, they were immediately answered by the information and data in the computer:
【Because the "Lights" project can only save very few civilization fires, the "Consciousness Database" here is still part of our plan】
【This place stores the consciousness data of all other civilized refugees, including some "sentinels", as well as all the technology that has always been used】
【At the same time, the information of the ancient "Apocalypse" is still preserved in our consciousness data. As long as we find the "secrets" left by them, we can also drive out all the "natural disasters"! 】
It seems that the consciousness data of most of the civilizations destroyed by the "Hunter" are here, and they seem to be waiting for the batch of fire seeds in the "Miniature Galaxy" to rescue them.
At the same time, the "far traveler" also found clues to the "Apocalypse". Although they are not sure whether this is a clue to human beings, it is worth looking for.
So someone couldn't hold back and said: "It's not too late, hurry up and transfer their sleeping consciousness data. I remember that we still have a lot of spare bodies, which should be enough to carry this group."
However, someone stopped this idea at this time. He is the expert who specializes in computers, and he looks suspiciously at the consciousness data.
"Wait a minute, these consciousness data seem a bit...too crude?" He said with some uncertainty.
"It is indeed possible to see the feeling of 'consciousness data' at a rough glance, but it is somewhat unbearable to scrutinize in detail. It seems that this amount of data does not seem to constitute a complete consciousness."
Hearing what he said, some people speculated:
"Maybe it's just that their technical level is not enough, and they can only enter consciousness with this completeness? Or simply their technology is far beyond our imagination, and they have been able to simplify consciousness data."
But experts who specialize in computers always feel that something is wrong, and they are always unwilling to give in, but they can't say anything.
In the end, the scientist who was the leader of the scientific research team spoke.
"...Everyone, stop for a while, don't you think it's a bit strange? Why do you keep these important data in this kind of place, even the 'miniature galaxy' stay here, is this their last bastion?"
"Of course, this is not a suspicious point. What puzzles me the most is why this kind of introductory information is left, directly clarifying what is here, and what they are hiding."
"If it's for the sake of secrecy, it's better not to mention anything and pretend it's just an ordinary computer. Now it seems that these introductions are more like trying to prevent the discoverer from destroying the data immediately. After all, there seems to be a major Everyone will want to explore the secret."
The words of the leading scientist made the computer scientist suddenly think of a possibility, and the way he looked at the "consciousness data" became more and more weird.
Afterwards, he said under the watchful eyes of everyone: "I know where the unspeakable doubts are. These 'consciousness data' have an abnormal feeling of being 'camouflaged', just like...there is an electronic virus under its shell .”
As soon as this remark was made, the eyes of everyone looking at the big screen changed, and they even took a step back on the spaceship unconsciously.
"How likely do you think it is?"
"Eighty percent."
This probability surprised everyone even more. Assuming that these "consciousness data" are really a disguised electronic virus, it must be triggered during the transfer process.
Although they are confident in their electronic protection, they will definitely be affected.
Since this so-called "consciousness database" is a trap, what about the "miniature galaxy"?
All the "far travelers" present at the scene thought of this question at the same time. Assuming that the "miniature galaxy" is also a trap, then it is debatable whether its inability to observe the internal situation is a "technical accident".
Finally, "Far Traveler" chose a remote place in No Man's Sky, and safely released the subspace in "Miniature Galaxy·Lights".
In this subspace, there is only one star that is about to explode, and a huge amount of bacterial and viral matter that is enough to cover the galaxy.
This is not a "light", but a bomb that uses the enemy's curiosity to pull the enemy to commit suicide.
The members of the real "Sentinel" organization have all died in the past, leaving only a small chip that flew out with the release of the subspace and was riddled with poisonous substances.
But they are just like what they said in their manifesto, whether they still exist or not, their struggle has not stopped.
