Chapter 41 Civilization Accelerator
The scientific research spacecraft approached the native planet in the Botu galaxy, but remained invisible.
If it is not necessary, Li Wenyuan doesn't really want to cause commotion among these aborigines, because he has already seen artificial satellites revolving around the planet.
This shows that the civilization here has at least entered the information age, and it is still possible to discover them directly.
But UAVs do not have this problem. UAVs that are also equipped with the "all-seeing stealth" system are basically impossible to be found here.
Moreover, they can thrive in the violent atmosphere of the gas giant planet, and it is naturally a piece of cake for the environment of this ordinary planet.
So a large number of drones entered the planet from all directions and began to scan for the existence of human remains.
These invisible drones flew over the city openly, and uploaded the data below to the scientific research spacecraft bit by bit.
It doesn't look like anyone has figured it out, but there are some people on this planet who are special...
A high school student broke away from his companions, lamenting how tiring it is to talk to ordinary people.
His name is Digger, a self-confessed "chosen one".
Ever since he woke up from bed one day and found that he seemed to have a "system", he felt that he must be the natural protagonist.
He returned home as usual, and there was no one else in the empty house except him.
As soon as he entered the door, he said silently in his heart: "System, what is the task for today?"
In the past, the "system" would quickly tell him the relevant matters after every inquiry he made, but this time, the system did not respond to him.
This made Digger frowned and kept calling the system's name.
After a long time, the system’s reply was long overdue:
【The main task has been changed: find a way to survive before the arrival of the "Star Devourer"】
【Countdown to the end of the world: 60 days】
This sudden surprise made Digger stunned, and then he began to shout in his heart: "System! System! What's going on! Didn't you let me pretend to be aggressive in front of my classmates yesterday? Why did it suddenly become the end of the world today!"
He is extremely scary now. This system will give him various magical rewards every time he completes a task, making him different from ordinary people.
This is why he feels he is the "chosen one", and he trusts the system so much.
But all of a sudden, as if the news of Proxima Centauri dying was widely spread, everything changed.
"'Star Devourer'... the name, could it be that my sudden idea is actually true?!"
Dig remembered what he said when he was bragging with his classmates: "I think... there is a kind of 'creature' that ate stars."
"Fantasy come true... no, I have to find a solution!"
His thoughts turned sharply, and he began to look for clues of the end of the world on the Internet.
He didn't think the system was trying to scare him.
Just like that, several days passed by.
He didn't come to class for several days in a row, but the teachers were not unusual, because as a genius in the school, he was basically only seen in exams.
And Digger walked out of the room with bloodshot eyes, looking as if he hadn't slept for several days.
"Star Devourer...the end of the world..." He stared at the distant starry sky, and seemed to be able to see a huge luminous body gradually approaching here.
"The system only needs me to find a way to survive, and doesn't ask me to save the world... Is it because this crisis is beyond my ability?"
He felt a sense of despair, feeling that he, the "chosen one", could be so powerless.
It was also at this time that his eyes that had been strengthened by the "system" saw a large number of UFOs flashing past high above.
"Those are..." Digger felt a sense of surprise in his heart. He could clearly see those dark UFOs flying across the sky, but passersby didn't seem to have any reaction, as if they couldn't see these things.
"—Is it a sign before the end of the world? I have to follow and see!"
So, a chase began.
Li Wenyuan in space certainly wouldn't notice that there was an "indigenous" chasing those invisible drones. He is now gathering the drones because he found the remains of human beings here.
【Experimental Civilization Accelerator】
[Introduction: This large-scale comprehensive facility is equipped with a large number of modules with different functions, as well as a certain degree of artificial intelligence. It can scan the status of species on the planet and analyze the social form, so as to promote the progress of civilization at the appropriate node. According to our analysis, this facility is still in the experimental stage, but it can also provide us with a new technological idea]
【New technologies have been added to the technology tree】
This huge facility hidden in the deep mountains and old forests really surprised Li Wenyuan. Although it looks extremely dilapidated, its strange functions are still functioning normally.
The scan results show that this comprehensive facility has a small database, a synthesis station, a low-level artificial intelligence, a scanning device covering the whole world, and micro-drones used to transfer materials from the synthesis station.
The database here stores various technologies from the primitive era to the early interstellar era, covering a wide range.
The synthesis station can synthesize many substances that are useful to indigenous civilizations but have long been eliminated in the interstellar world.
Including various body strengthening fluids, technological blueprints, old-fashioned weapons...
And its scanning equipment can also monitor the situation in the universe and communicate information with the species here.
In general, this is a comprehensive facility that can quickly improve the indigenous civilization here.
And Li Wenyuan also thought of something, immediately cracked the Internet here, and began to look through their history.
Sure enough, he found that the times here are progressing rapidly, and various talented people appear every once in a while, including various scientists, leaders, progressives...all of them are change figures across the ages.
Various scientific theories that transcended the times, advanced inventions that increased productivity, wars that changed the fate of history, historical events related to the development of the times, and leaders who were absolutely wise and never made mistakes... abound in their past.
Throughout their history, it can be said that this civilization as a whole is always making rapid progress and has never regressed.
It took them less than two thousand years to develop from the primitive tribal era to the current information age, which can be said to be a rapid progress.
This is undoubtedly very abnormal, and Li Wenyuan also understands that all of this must be due to the "civilization accelerator" in front of him.
"So, this thing is 'opened' for the people here?" Li Wenyuan looked at the history of this civilization with great interest.
I found that in all the big countries here, there have been various "cheat-like" characters in history, and even now there are many novels based on the background of those "cheaters" who traveled back from modern people.
"It's very interesting, so why did humans leave such a ruin here? Is it for experiments?" He thought for a while, and called out the new technology in the technology tree.
【Theory on the Promotion of Automation Civilization】
【Technology Level: 5】
【Introduction: External influence on indigenous civilizations is a powerful method of promotion, but how to subtly and efficiently promote them to the interstellar era has also become a difficult problem. Maybe we can try to build a fully automated complex to achieve our goals. This galaxy is too empty, let's make it more lively]
【Possible Technology: Universal Civilization Accelerator (9.9%)】
"...empty?" Seeing this word, Li Wenyuan thought of those interstellar civilizations who were watching the excitement here.
He can't intercept all kinds of information flying around the galaxy, and of course he knows why these civilizations want to watch the fun.
The sentinel array provided a wide range of monitoring, and he also discovered that a star eater was heading here.
"Well, compared to the total number of galaxies in the Milky Way, the existing interstellar civilizations are indeed a little less."
"However, since they want to see the scene where the Star Devourer is eliminated so much, then let them be satisfied. If this creature is eliminated cleanly, the disguise of my lost empire will be more real."
"...Then, can the indigenous civilization here realize that this starry sky is actually very lively?"
