Chapter 73 The Lost Empires
Just as the "Watcher" has a taboo not to colonize the "Holy Planet".
The lost empires in the galaxy have more or less their own taboos, and offenders must be prepared to bear punishment from the lost empires.
The same is true for the "Silent Ones". As the lost empire with the least communication with the galaxy, everything about them is almost unknown to young civilizations.
They don't issue tasks like "Observers", nor do they promote indigenous civilizations like "Watchers" and "Farstriders". They seem to be immersed in their own world forever, and don't pay attention to the outside world at all.
But even in such a lost empire, there is something annoying, that is "violating the border".
The "Silent Ones" pay special attention to their territory and will not tolerate any border contact.
In the case of the Milky Way, that is, any frontier galaxies that have hyperspace channels connected to their galaxies need to be in a state of unmanned control.
Many people have guessed why they formed such a "taboo", but in the end they all found nothing.
As for how this "taboo" was discovered, it has to start with a very unlucky civilization.
This civilization is also very familiar, they are—
"—Does the Tinder Alliance still have such a history?" Li Wenyuan looked at this information with great interest.
Because the "Silent One" took action, he, who is also a lost empire, simply looked at the history related to it in the Milky Way.
And a long section of it comes from an interstellar civilization that is now very active, that is, the Tinder Alliance.
In the past, Li Wenyuan only knew that they had experienced a catastrophe, and it took much longer than other civilizations to stand on the interstellar stage.
But now it seems that the "catastrophe" actually came from the "silent one".
"...I didn't expect such an unlucky civilization to exist in the world..." After reading the record, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
There is indeed no more unlucky interstellar civilization than them. As soon as they touched the starry sky, they found themselves in the border area of "The Silent One".
When the Pyro Alliance was still a native, they discovered early on that there was actually a mysterious interstellar civilization around them, and they could even communicate directly through hyperspace channels.
So after the Tinder Alliance developed the first hyperspace engine, they excitedly wanted to say hello to their neighbors.
However, they did not expect that this neighbor was a "silent man" who was very sensitive to their own borders. Before they had time to show off their skills in the interstellar world, they received a warning from the "Silent One":
"Don't violate our borders, little guy. You can choose to return to the age of savagery, or live on another planet within 10 years, and we will clear the border after the time limit."
The Pyro Alliance, which hadn't had time to explore the star sea, was shocked by this, and sent messages to the "Silent One" many times, but did not receive any answer.
Of course they know that their "neighbor" has unfathomable technology, and they can't be opponents in a real fight.
But 10 years is too short, they only have time to send a batch of fire seeds to the distant starry sky, and the purge will come.
The ancient fleet destroyed their hard-built space station and precisely blocked their technology, leaving only an indigenous civilization that went back hundreds of years.
The wandering "fire seeds" found a suitable habitable place after struggling in the star sea for a hundred years, and it took a long time to re-enter the starry sky.
The current Tinder Alliance has quietly returned to the home planet to investigate, but sadly found that it has returned to the era of war, and has even forgotten that such a group of "Tinder" was still wandering outside.
Then their batch of "fire seeds" decided to call themselves "fire seeds alliance" to replace their former parent star on the galactic stage.
Assuming that they were not so unfortunate as to be born in the border galaxy of the "Silencer", the current Tinder Alliance should be a powerful interstellar civilization.
Because of such encounters, they are very keen on helping the indigenous civilizations and popularizing interstellar knowledge to them.
And other civilizations in the galaxy also know that the "silent ones" have such a taboo.
As for the wormhole that brought catastrophe to Pechkitti, it was because the Mingbo technological dictatorship had long discovered that the place where the wormhole led was within the territory of the "Silencer".
Will the "Silent Ones" who don't even let the border be violated, tolerate civilizations coming and going freely within their territory through wormholes?
Uncle Ming obviously understood this truth in an instant, and immediately emptied out the wormhole galaxy, waiting for any self-satisfied "predestined person" to come here to ask for trouble.
Now they have completely lost the arrogance they had at the beginning, and even the usable fleet has been destroyed.
The short-lived alliance formed by Minbo and several other civilizations also declared war on Pechichiti at the right time, preparing to plunder all the production capacity of this ethnic cleanliness civilization before the arrival of the Iron Heart Exterminator.
Although Pechkitti is a racial clean freak, their machines and factories are not racial clean freaks, and their species themselves can have many uses under genetic modification.
So this extreme civilization named "Pecchiti" disappeared into the sea of stars, and no one will remember them.
In the dark market of the galaxy, this lizardman race is sometimes sold as a tradable "resource" to all parts of the galaxy.
Now those who can stand on the stage are all kinds of winners, while the losers have all been swept into the dustbin of history.
After closing the Xinghai information window, Li Wenyuan fell into a short thought.
This is the first time he has witnessed the process of a civilization from its appearance to its demise since he has been in this universe for so long.
Even if this is an unsympathetic ethnic cleansing civilization, he also feels a kind of worry.
Not from other civilizations, but from a threat that even humans cannot fully handle.
Ring World's production capacity has begun to take effect, and his current state is unprecedentedly good, but this is far from enough.
"...It is necessary to make preparations early. Completely receiving the heritage of mankind is only the first step... I hope to find some traces." Li Wenyuan once again confirmed his goal.
The change of "Mechanical Lost Empire" did not attract much attention, and the current galactic civilization has become accustomed to the scientific research spacecraft from the "Guardian" flying around.
Although they know what the "Guardian" seems to be looking for, it doesn't have much to do with them.
The "Nano Lost Empire" that appeared not long ago only caused a brief shock, and then returned to calm.
Because the galactic civilizations discovered that this lost nano empire, which claims to be the "coordinator", has almost banned all civilizations from entering that special stargate, except for the lost empire of machinery.
Although little is known about the "Coordinator" and "Guardian", the galaxy's gossip about these two "lost empires of robots" has never stopped.
The most widely circulated is that they came from the same ancient civilization. The reason is that the appearance of the nano robot individual in the "Nano Lost Empire" and the robot individual in the "Mechanical Lost Empire" are very similar.
But these two ancient robotic civilizations had to part ways for some reason, and they could only meet for a short time when the star gate opened.
As a result, all kinds of unspeakable epic dramas spread. Li Wenyuan almost embarrassed himself after watching it, but Gray Wind had a lot of fun watching it.
In addition, the "observer" remains an enthusiastic but never engaged bystander. Except for the search for "magical creatures", there is little news about them in the interstellar world.
And after the "Silent One" caused heavy damage to Pechkitti, he became silent again, ignoring external things, and had no choice but to communicate.
"Far Travelers" still occasionally ask young civilizations for genius scientists, and will not return them. But the interstellar civilizations will regard this matter more as an honor.
What does this mean? It shows that we are well educated! What is the concept of a scientist who can even fall in love with a lost empire and come here to ask for it?
Because of this, some good people made a special "Genius List", which records the scientists who have been asked to leave by "far travelers" over the years.
Only scientists who are on this list can be called "heavenly talents", and everyone else can only be inferior.
In addition to these lost empires, there is still the "Watcher", the idealistic lost empire.
The news of their "prophet" leaving was widely circulated in idealistic civilization, but the "Watcher" did not react too much, and remained calm.
It's just this kind of calm, but it gives people a feeling that the rain is about to come.
And Li Wenyuan's scientific research spacecraft, for the purpose of searching for human remains, once again came to the border area of "Watcher".
Since he came to the "Emerald Tomb" last time, he thought that he would never have anything to do with this lost empire again, but now he must.
His goal is another "sacred planet", called "Walled Garden".
Currently, there are already two "sacred land planets" that have been associated with humans, and Li Wenyuan is already thinking about whether the third holy land planet also has any relics.
Then, does the "Watcher" who regards these three planets as holy places have anything to do with human beings?
