Chapter 40 Star Devourer
"...you dug up this thing after digging for so long?"
Li Wenyuan looked at the planed ground with a suspicious expression.
But Cowper and the professor nodded happily, holding the blueprint in their hands and saying:
"Yes, we confirmed that this is indeed an ancient site, not a relic."
"According to the restoration, we believe that this is actually some kind of monumental building. And the analysis of these site materials shows that most of this memorial building is composed of the remains of a living thing."
"..." Li Wenyuan didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, because this "relic" covers an astonishing area of more than 600,000 square kilometers, which can be easily seen with the naked eye in space.
And it was actually built with the remains of some kind of creature, so how old was this creature before it was alive?
What puzzled him the most was that such a huge building was actually used as a memorial?
"Also, we found an encrypted document from this ancient site, which has been uploaded to the database."
Cowper informed the guardian of the last information excavated from this ancient site, and then quickly went to the next site to be excavated with the professor.
The excavation of this site is too ordinary, there are no thrilling mechanisms, and there are no magical and different phenomena. It has no characteristics except for its large size, and it is not interesting to dig.
For the two who are used to the excitement, it is simply tasteless, and they can't wait to start a new excavation work earlier.
Li Wenyuan, who was just about to ask if he needed a vacation, saw their eagerness, shook his head, and focused on the encrypted document.
The encryption of this document is not cumbersome, he easily read the content, and soon found that it was introducing the origin of this memorial building.
【Ascension Era 25 Years】
【We have observed a giant space creature approaching the solar system】
【Due to its overly bright body, we thought it was a star at first】
【But according to the gravitational anomaly caused by it, we found that its actual size is about between Mars and Earth, and it will not be too large】
【Why can such a creature emit light that is more dazzling than a star? 】
【So before it got close to the solar gravity well, we sent people to conduct a comprehensive survey on it】
【This seems to be a space creature that feeds on stellar matter. Its high body density and unknown internal organs allow it to parasitize on the surface of stars and directly grab stellar matter without any impact】
【It always converts star matter into brighter light and releases it outward. We speculate that its behavior is to attract possible similar ones】
【According to its habit of devouring stellar matter, we named it "Star Devourer"】
【This star eater came straight to the sun, so we solved it halfway to prevent it from affecting the solar system】
【And part of its wreckage was collected by us and built into such a memorial building to commemorate our first confirmation that the universe is not alone】
The introduction ended here, and it also made Li Wenyuan understand that this huge building is really just a memorial building.
"...Let's continue to look for the remains of human beings first. It would be great if each relic could tell some history about the past. Let me see if the next galaxy is...Botu galaxy?"
...
"—Botu Galaxy?" When Brainin heard the name, he just looked up at the subordinates beside him, and changed back to that lazy look again.
"I said that I don't like to hear these useless things. The last guy has already been sent to the gate by me. Do I have to send you to mine to understand what it means to 'try to figure out the boss's mind'?"
The subordinate was also terrified, but even so he tried his best to convey the message to the boss in front of him:
"The observatory has confirmed that the culprit who caused the star to go out before is a 'Star Devourer'. According to predictions, its next stop is the Botu galaxy, and this galaxy... is near the lost empire of the 'Guardian'."
"..." Hearing the key words, Breining straightened up instantly, changed his previous lazy appearance, and looked at this subordinate with a serious face.
"This is a big event worthy of attention, you have done a good job! I announce that the total time you need to work for the company without pay will be shortened to 5 years from now on, as a reward for your bravery!"
The subordinate was surprised and delighted at the same time, and thanked Breining for his cultivation repeatedly.
Braining waved him away, pacing back and forth in the entertainment hall.
"...The closest observation station to the Guardian is here. Although other civilizations have established observation stations nearby, they are not yet completed. This is an excellent opportunity for publicity."
"The Lost Empire will not allow threats around itself. If the screen of the 'Guardian' destroying the Star Devourer can be broadcast exclusively, it will definitely increase the popularity of the company. By the way, let's promote the 'Guardian'."
"It's really a good thing that kills two birds with one stone! No, I have to contact the director immediately..."
So, a lot of information interaction circulated from here again.
Some civilizations faintly sensed something, and stepped up the construction of observation stations, but they still lost the opportunity compared to Ke Ruibo, who was close to the water and got the moon first.
Almost all the eyes of the galaxy are looking at an inconspicuous galaxy called "Botu". Some interstellar adventurers who are nearby even went in for a walk, selling the internal situation at a high price, and rushing to the Star Devourer. Earn your last cash.
At the same time, the news that there is an indigenous civilization in this galaxy has also been known to all civilizations, but most civilizations don't care about it. They want to know how the "Guardian" wiped out the cosmic creatures that devoured stars.
Except for one special civilization: the Tinder Alliance.
"This group of profit-seeking global enterprises! They are so close, why not save that indigenous civilization? Even if it is just to transfer part of their population!"
"Don't be angry, those ruthless guys can't do such a thankless thing. Our spaceship closest to the Botu galaxy has already set off, and we hope to save them before the arrival of the star devourers."
There were overwhelming voices of accusations from the capital galaxy of the Pyro Alliance, scolding Ke Ruibo for not being saved, and other civilizations' gloating, and at the same time asking the civilizations closer to the Botu galaxy to lend a helping hand.
They were once an indigenous civilization, and they kept the last fire in a catastrophe, and it took much longer than other civilizations to barely stand in the interstellar.
Therefore, they are very enthusiastic about saving various indigenous civilizations. Aboriginal only, of course.
The life and death of the interstellar civilization is none of his business.
At the same time, because they are extremely aggressive in interstellar communication, any interstellar civilization with an indigenous civilization in the country will be scolded dozens of times by them, so almost all civilizations have a bad relationship with them, and there is a war to solve the problem of values. up.
The Fire Alliance is still trying to use their weak influence to attract the attention of other civilizations, but the scientific research spacecraft controlled by the "Guardian" has quietly arrived in the Botu galaxy, and is gradually approaching a planet with life.
