Chapter 90 Ancient Memories
The memory of the ancient "far traveler" left here has already made it very clear.
On this "immortal lighthouse" are individuals who have completed "synthetic evolution", but they are also excluded individuals.
The current "far traveler" is a person who did not choose this path.
"... No wonder the 'far traveler' is still using electronic implants. It seems that there is not much generation difference with the Milky Way. It turns out that there have been differences before..." Li Wenyuan was a little emotional.
Obviously, the ancient "far traveler" was not ready to abandon the physical body he had been using, and was even a little afraid or even disgusted by it. Their social philosophy has not kept pace with technological progress.
In the end, these individuals who embarked on the path of "synthetic evolution" became victims.
Judging from the number of thinking networks and memories left in this dilapidated data repository, only millions of sparks were left in the end of the Great Suppression.
This number is too small for interstellar civilizations. Fortunately, they have completed "synthetic evolution", and it is not difficult to restore the population, it just takes time.
So Li Wenyuan continued to check the content of the memory while extracting these thinking networks and memories.
He is going to reawaken these ancient "far travelers", the content of the memory is invisible to him, and he can feel the sense of mission and nobility of these "synthetic evolution" individuals.
They do want to keep going, not wallow in luxury. As they said: "Even if it takes hundreds of millions of years, they still want to follow in the footsteps of the 'Apocalypse'."
At this moment, they found their remaining fire here, and Li Wenyuan happened to have a suitable mechanical body to help them recover. This may be God's will.
In the process of viewing these memories, Li Wenyuan also learned some stories from the ancient times.
For example, "Far Travelers", they may have been inspired by human beings when they were just born with wisdom.
When they came back to their senses, the planet was already highly developed. It took them a long time to adapt to this high-tech life, and then they explored the starry sky with curiosity.
They thought they were special, but it was a pity that many civilizations had appeared in the universe at that time due to human intervention, and they were not the only ones.
Naturally, war and peace among civilizations was born. During this process, Li Wenyuan saw a somewhat familiar species.
“…Isn’t that ‘The Watcher’?”
That is indeed the main species of "Watcher", but at that time they had not improved their bodies through various means, and they looked quite different from the current "Watcher".
Then "Far Traveler" and "Watcher" had frictions and even wars because of various conceptual issues.
They have victories and defeats for each other, but no one can do anything to each other. Perhaps Liang Zi was formed at that time.
At that time, they still had extremely powerful and advanced productivity, and the speed of building warships was also extraordinary, and there was even a situation where the two were deadlocked in a certain galaxy.
After comparing it with the ancient battlefield discovered before, Li Wenyuan confirmed that it is the same galaxy.
They got angry there, and the reason was also very special. It was actually arguing about who is the real successor of the "Apocalypse".
It was also after this great war that a group of people in the "Far Travelers" decided to take the path of "synthetic evolution", wanting to take civilization a step further, and severely hit the "Watchers" at that time.
After sorting out the contents of the memory, although Li Wenyuan has gained something, he still has more questions.
At this time, the extraction of these thinking networks and memories has been basically completed, and he is also preparing to leave here. While starting to revive these "ancient travelers", he will go to other places to explore according to the contents of the memory.
Because he found that part of the content in the memory is very different from the current Milky Way. The most obvious point is that the current "far traveler" has already moved.
In the past, their national border was not in the current position, and even the home planet was completely different.
The current home planet of "Farwalker" is an "ideal city" planet called "The Source of Knowledge". After transformation, this planet can be said to be a completely artificial planet.
Its surface has been covered by steel, and no natural landscape can be seen at all. All spaces are utilized, and countless building clusters form perfect partitions under planned construction, each of which undertakes different functions.
Even though such an "ideal city" planet is very fascinating, according to the records in memory, the former "far traveler" had three ring worlds!
Even though one "Immortal Lighthouse" ring world has been completely destroyed, there are still two ring worlds named "Infinite Lighthouse" and "Immortal Lighthouse".
Why did they give up such a unique environment and move the whole country to its current location?
After completing the extraction work, Li Wenyuan's scientific research spacecraft left here quickly. At the same time, scientific research spacecraft in other locations rushed to the "Infinite Lighthouse" Ring World and the "Immortal Lighthouse" Ring World according to the memory records.
The other civilization explorers who were still carefully testing this Broken Ring world also noticed the departure of the "Guardian" scientific research spacecraft, and then each showed indescribable expressions.
This situation is nothing more than two guesses: Either the "Guardian" found nothing here, or the "Guardian" has already gained something, and there is no need to stay here anymore.
These explorers glanced at each other, and then quickly approached the place where the "Guardian" stayed, wanting to see if they could find something too.
So while they were still fighting for the most advantageous position, one of Li Wenyuan's scientific research spacecraft had already arrived at the "Indestructible Lighthouse" ring world.
"...Sure enough, this place was also bombed."
As he expected, the "Immortal Beacon" ring world was also severely damaged. Li Wenyuan also felt that only this kind of complete destruction could allow the "far traveler" to relocate the whole country.
But the Rimworld was much more damaged than the Immortal Lighthouse.
While exploring the "Immortal Lighthouse", he could still see many large fragments of the ring world, but the "Immortal Lighthouse" ring world in front of him was even blown into small pieces.
Almost all the buildings on the surface were razed, and it was difficult to recruit the remaining relics.
"Then 'Infinity Lighthouse' shouldn't be spared... All three ring worlds were bombed, and the whole family even had to move to another place to live... What happened to 'Far Traveler'?"
In doubt, his spacecraft also began to scan the fragments of these ring worlds, hoping to find something.
Although this place was completely destroyed, the area of the ring world is too huge after all, after all, there are still traces of the past in some places.
He was lucky to find the remains of several robots in a collapsed cave, but they were different from the robots on the "Immortal Beacon" who had chosen "synthetic evolution".
These robots are more like the robot servants used by the current "far traveler", a simple robot that is not even an omnic.
Li Wenyuan experimentally connected the ports of several robots, but found that they were completely damaged, not even a single record was left.
In the end, only a little useful information was extracted from a relatively well-preserved robot wreckage.
It was a video record. Although the picture has been distorted for a long time, the content can still be barely discerned.
The background is probably in this ring world. At that time, the ring world had not been seriously damaged, and a lot of flickering lights could be vaguely seen in the background of the picture.
This long-term video has lost its audio, and Li Wenyuan can only guess that it was the light from the explosion.
In addition, you can also see a large number of warships flying over the ring world, as if they are rushing to a certain place.
The styles of these battleships are almost the same as the current "far traveler" except for some differences in the details.
But they are not in the state of a battleship cluster as in normal circumstances, but have a feeling of advancing one after another, as if they have just been produced from the dock and are heading to the front line.
Soon after, Li Wenyuan understood why.
At first, the battleships could be seen flying into the distance on the screen, but gradually, scenes of them being destroyed halfway began to appear, as if the front line of the war had already advanced to the ring world.
Later, the number of warships appearing on the screen became less and less, and even as soon as it appeared in the sky, it was completely destroyed by a beam of light coming from afar.
Until the end, the battleship could not even be seen, only the beams of light in the sky were still intertwined.
At this moment, the war front has spread to the ring world, and the "far traveler" and an unknown enemy have launched a fierce battle over the ring world.
But Li Wenyuan already knew the result in advance, and it must end in the failure of "Far Traveler", because the ring world has already exploded.
"...What could it be? Even 'Farwalker' is no match at all?" Thinking about this matter, he suddenly remembered a piece of information he had unearthed on the remains of the earth.
【Document No. N027: The First Pressure Resistance Test】
【After countless simulations in the virtual world, we finally decided to trigger a controlled crisis in the real galaxy to test whether the civilization formed under the inspiration of our force-feeding can resist the coming threat】
【…】
This numbered document once mentioned that human beings triggered an "artificial crisis" in order to test the anti-compression strength of the galactic civilization.
This crisis directly caused most of the civilizations promoted by human beings to go back to the indigenous era, leaving only a few that still maintain the ability of interstellar navigation.
"...Could it be, in fact, the 'crisis' caused by humans that exploded the ring world?"
The more Li Wenyuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and at the same time he felt like he didn't know what to say.
He thinks that human beings are really "chaos". He promoted a group of civilizations with his own hands, and then brought them back to their original form with his own hands.
The footage recorded by the robot wreckage was interrupted for a while, as if it had been disturbed by something. When it resumed, the colorful sky could no longer be seen, and the only thing left here was the smoke on the ground.
In the video screen, the bright light representing the explosion is constantly flashing, and at the same time, the frequency is getting higher and higher and brighter.
The recorded image also trembled countless times. Obviously, the shock generated by the explosion has spread here, which seems to represent an imminent threat.
Seeing this scene, Li Wenyuan knew that the record would probably come to an end. He only hoped that this robot would work harder to preserve the "threatening" appearance.
According to his understanding of human beings, this "crisis" manually caused by human beings is definitely impossible to directly use human warships to achieve it, but most of them will be disguised according to the "threats" they have encountered before, creating a plausible "crisis" threaten".
It looks decent, but it is actually still under human control.
With the help of video recordings, he will know what the so-called "threat" looks like, so he can pay attention in advance.
Soon, the vibration became more and more violent, and the robot seemed unable to maintain its balance. Until the last moment, an explosion caused by something unknown blasted the robot into the sky.
While the picture was spinning, Li Wenyuan finally caught a glimpse of the "threat" in a few frames.
Those might be warships, and he even thought they were floating buildings at first glance.
There are not many of them, but they all present strange postures without exception.
At first glance, they look like a large number of blocky objects composed of pyramid structures. Although there is no air resistance in the universe, and warships can be built in any way they want, this special shape is still very eye-catching.
No weapons can be seen on their surfaces, but there are beams of light brewing in those cone-shaped structures, and it seems that they are attacks from these places.
After the robot fell back to the ground, the screen ended, and the result after that was already obvious.
"...I see, those things that look like thorn **** should be the specific individual appearance of the 'threat'. Even if they are not, it must have a lot to do with it..."
Li Wenyuan made a certain artistic treatment of the special spaceship image in the record, and then sent missions related to it to the entire galaxy.
The reward is still a small lost empire fleet, which he believes will attract the enthusiasm of other civilizations.
After all, this thing seems to be able to bring a "threat" to the entire galaxy, and he needs to use the power of the galaxy.
It is not required that other civilizations can really find the "threat", but as long as there is a little clue, it can be of great use.
"...So, is this what happened to the 'far traveler'? A lost empire that expelled some of its compatriots and retreated to its current position under the 'crisis'... Maybe they have almost forgotten this history."
He felt that he had another in-depth understanding of the lost empire of "Farwalker".
"If that's the case, what happened to the other lost empires to become what they are now?"
Thinking like this, he looked at the Lost Empire in the star map, which happened to be in four opposing positions.
He now knows more about "Farstrider" and "Watcher", but almost nothing about "Watcher" and "Silencer".
Judging from this past history, they probably also had incredible experiences.
"...It's really a galaxy that has been in chaos since a long time ago..."
