Chapter 138 Reality Penetration Instrument
Changes began to appear in the territory of the "Observers". When they did not have any ancient enemies and no crisis was coming, they showed signs of expansion again.
This slight abnormality attracted the attention of galactic civilizations, but in view of the good reputation of the "Observer", no civilization was too worried about this matter.
Most civilizations feel that the "observer's" changes may be just a small accident and will not affect them.
But the Fire Alliance didn't think so. They became increasingly uneasy about this and were paying close attention to the movements of the "Observer".
They always feel as if something big is going to happen.
And Li Wenyuan, who was constantly piecing together damaged data in the "database", also discovered something new under the accumulation of damaged data.
[Lost property record No. Z-1422: Paradise virus]
[Introduction (from professor): This is an electronic virus that can "forcibly optimize" the personality of AI. It was created by my student. Although he claimed that the instrument carrying this virus was lost, I always feel that he is lying.
Me. Out of necessity, I still recorded it in the lost property record, hoping to find it in the future]
[Special note: Please do not use mechanical intelligence to search!]
"..." He didn't expect that the data he had painstakingly extracted would only end up being a piece of "lost property records."
As the name of the "database" suggests, a variety of information is recorded here.
There are ancient powerful technologies, and there are also data that are really just "a record".
But despite this, the "database" encrypts all data equally, even if it is just a string of completely unimportant text.
"...So extracting data here really feels like a lottery." Li Wenyuan said with emotion.
No one knows what the content of those damaged data will be, and it is common for the data to come out empty-handed.
"But..." Thinking like this, Li Wenyuan looked at another piece of record he pieced together:
[Lost Property Record No. A-15: Curtain Perforation Instrument]
[Introduction (from the doctor); A magical gadget. I originally made it as an instrument to test the strength of the "sealing", but I didn't expect that the effect was unexpectedly good. Unfortunately, the teacher stopped it just as it was about to enter mass production.
I was scolded for it, and I only had a poor prototype]
[Special note: I accidentally lost this thing before leaving, and I don’t know which lucky person will pick it up... Sigh~ Did we lose a lot of things? Why are we all so careless? 】
"Curtain Perforation Instrument?" This strange instrument in the lost object record reminded Li Wenyuan of the technology he obtained when he first came into contact with the database.
"The 'curtain theory'? If you look at it this way, this 'curtain penetrator' sounds like something that can penetrate the 'curtain'..."
His eyes returned to the starry sky. Every scientific research spacecraft traveling in space and every synthetic human at work transformed into his eyes, reaching into the sky.
The starry sky is as vast as ever, and on some planets with very primitive ecology, you can still see the stars that look like luminous waterfalls at night.
This scene belongs to the beauty of the Milky Way, but the places outside the Milky Way seem to have bright lights occasionally, but they always feel unreal.
"...Where is this 'curtain penetrator'? Has any 'lucky person' picked it up?"
Along with his thoughts, the "observer" moved more and more frequently.
Even though the "Observer" has a good reputation, the deterrence unique to the "Lost Empire" still exists.
Even a civilization that trusts "observers" has to be vigilant and carefully observe what this lost empire wants to do.
At this time, a massive speech was being held on the "Cradle" planet, the home planet of the "Observer".
As the name of this planet goes, this is the birthplace of "Observers" and the "cradle" that gave birth to their civilization.
They have been living in this place since they consciously recorded it, and during their long and generous living environment, they gradually realized that this was a planet that had been modified by humans.
All creatures can find the most suitable living environment here, and the ecological cycle is in an incredibly stable state.
The planet itself seems to be in a state of self-adaptation all the time. As long as we can come here, survival is never a problem.
This situation was obviously very abnormal, so the "observers" who were still very primitive at the time turned their attention to the starry sky for the first time.
Then they saw the huge planet that seemed to cover the sky, and several other small planets that were looming in the background of the sky.
Although the star gave them the light and heat of life, in the ancient myth of the "Observer", this huge planet that covers the sky is the "Supreme God".
Their astronomy and biology started very early. After all, living in such a strange celestial environment and planetary environment, no matter what species they are, they will definitely become curious about it.
After a long period of scientific development, they gradually understood everything.
The planet they are on is a "Gaia planet", a special planet that can be suitable for any living thing.
This kind of planet basically cannot exist naturally, and will be more or less affected by external factors.
The cosmic environment they live in is a celestial system that is theoretically unsuitable for the birth of life like them.
The planet that can be seen in the sky at any time is a gas giant planet. It is the source of gravity that maintains the entire small celestial body system. It was named "Father of the Sky" by them.
In addition, the planets orbiting the gas giants also received names early on, forming a warm little family for this celestial system.
This incident seemed to have little impact, but through observation, the weak "observers" understood that "someone" must have been here.
The planets surrounding the "Sky Father" are similar in size to the "Cradle", but only here has formed an extremely perfect ecological environment.
Therefore, exploring "who" has been here has become a powerful driving force for the advancement of their civilization.
They have been exposed to the starry sky early, and with the help of research on the "cradle" of their home star, they have achieved extremely high attainments in transforming the planet's environment.
Before they could develop a hyperspace engine, they began to modify the satellites of the gas giant planet "Sky Father".
The planets named "Heavenly Mother", "Brothers" and "Sisters" were all transformed.
Among them, the "sister" planet was destroyed due to their immature transformation technology, and became a "collapse planet".
But the transformation of the other two planets was very successful. Before they left this galaxy, their civilization had three "Gaia planets".
This starting point allowed them to make rapid progress in the starry sky, and soon became the leading civilization in the galaxy.
However, they did not participate in any galactic affairs, and were not interested in the disputes in the outside world. They only wanted to find the civilization that gave them the "cradle".
They called that civilization the "Apocalypse" and began to behave in the manner of their ideal "Apocalypse".
Upgrading the natives is one thing, and maintaining the colorfulness of the galaxy is another. They have been "seeing" and replicating the actions of the "Apocalypse" since a long time ago.
They witnessed the "War in Heaven" between two civilizations that claimed to be the orthodox successors of the "Apocalypse" and laughed about it.
Because they always feel that they are the successors of the "Apocalypse" and are working hard to become the new "Apocalypse".
But as more and more discoveries were made, this civilization that was always "seeing" gradually realized something strange.
They discovered that the "Apocalypse" did not seem to have died, but had left here in some way.
So with the intention of exploring the secrets of the "Apocalypse", they searched for many methods and tried to understand what the "Apocalypse" was thinking by conducting sociological experiments on the indigenous people.
Finally, they found a mysterious dense sphere instrument, and their intuition told them that it was a relic left by the "Apocalypse".
They put all their energy into studying this mysterious sphere, and soon discovered "a corner of the world" through this instrument.
They realize that this world is "fake".
This instrument allowed them to see the real "Galaxy", a Galaxy full of death and silence without any life being born; and what they were here was just a running "virtual" world.
They named this instrument the "Reality Perimeter" because they felt they saw "reality".
After that, they fell into decadence. While other civilizations were still fighting in the galaxy, they retreated to their current borders early and indifferently rejected any civilization.
The huge impact brought by the "truth" almost destroyed them, but their yearning for the "Apocalypse" quickly made them calm down and began to think about how to escape from this "false world".
They speculated that the "Apocalypse" must have discovered the truth about the world like them and left here through some method.
So they began to conduct more extreme sociological experiments, which resulted in the death of indigenous people being almost common, and finally determined the solution - just like those indigenous people trying to escape from the "virtual universe", they resorted to collective suicide to leave.
here.
"...Compatriots, I know this is an unbelievable thing, but the 'Reality Perforator' and 'Virtual Universe' experiments have told us the answer. Only in this way can we return to the embrace of 'reality'."
"...This is something that those trapped in the 'virtual' cannot understand. I believe that only you who come from the same 'cradle' as me can understand!"
The leader of the "Observers" told the people about their long-hidden findings, causing a brief panic.
However, during the pacification, these people understood the leader with strong cohesion and all chose to believe him.
Even though this act of "mass suicide" sounds extremely absurd, they still made this decision without exception.
The unity of the entire civilization and their trust in "those who are moving forward" led them to choose such a path.
"...But we alone are not enough. Our numbers are not enough to shake the 'virtual device' that has trapped us."
