Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 19 Sky Veil Battleship
……

[Ship drawings have been entered]

[New technology has been added to the technology tree]

In the past, it took a long, long time to enter the database in an instant. Li Wenyuan didn't hear the news of the database until the group of aliens had finished many discussions and even started to record what they saw and heard.

Immediately afterwards, he called up the interface of the technology tree, and looked at the "level 8 technology" located at a very high position.

Sure enough, there was a solitary illuminated technology there, which was out of place with the gray surroundings.

【Sky Veil Battleship】

[Technology level: 8]

[Introduction: The full understanding and utilization of the subspace has made us no longer have to worry about the size and quality of the spaceship.Building a "super battleship" that is actually large enough to cover the star system will become an interstellar spectacle in the new era, and any civilization will be impressed by it]

[Possible technology: subspace giant construction project (0%); Creation theory (0%); Curtain theory (0%)]

Subspace is a kind of buffer zone between existence and positive matter space and antimatter space.

It does not belong to space in the general sense, and the physical theory in reality does not apply in it.

The giant battleship that covered the entire sky used technologies related to subspace.

According to the drawings in the database, the actual cross-sectional area of ​​this giant battleship is larger than that of the solar system.

Such a huge volume and mass make it impossible to fully appear in the real universe, because the gravity generated by itself is enough to destroy itself.

At this time, the "huge shady curtain" covering the sky above the earth is actually only a very small part of its hull, not even 0.0001% of its total volume.

But even so, this Sky Veil battleship convinced all the aliens in an instant.

As the introduction said: "Any civilization will be impressed by it."

"Although I have blueprints, I still can't actually build this thing..." With a powerful technology up to level 8, Li Wenyuan didn't seem very happy.

Because the front-end technology required by the "Sky Veil Battleship" has not yet been unlocked, and its construction consumption is also a terrifying figure, he can't even imagine how humans used to build such a giant.

"Let's take a look at the unexpected functions of this 'Sky Veil Battleship' first." Li Wenyuan looked at the relevant parameters with great interest.

And those extraterrestrials are also having a lively discussion about this unknown creation that covers the sky.

"What do you think that would be?"

"Judging from the fact that this ruin was attracted after it was activated, it is probably something that the lost civilization here once made."

"Could it be a cosmic creature?"

"Biology? I don't think it's possible. After so long, we haven't observed any movement from it. I prefer it to be some kind of undiscovered cosmic phenomenon."

"It's hard to say. When the macroscopic volume of a living thing grows to a certain level, the laws we are familiar with may not necessarily apply to it. Do you think that living things that are so big still need to eat plants or meat? "

"But cosmic phenomena are equally possible. Maybe this 'black curtain' will be generated after the relic is activated, and the entire planet will be placed in a state where it does not interact with the outside world."

"Actually, I agree that this is an undiscovered cosmic phenomenon." The young man who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly spoke out, which also attracted everyone's attention.

"Our instruments did not detect any suspicious signals. In fact, one thing I have been very concerned about since it appeared is why there is no abnormal gravity here?"

The young man's eyes seemed to be shining at this time, and a strong self-confidence made him keep talking.

"Whether it's because it's big enough or because it's close enough here, its mass should have a huge impact on the planet."

"But gravity doesn't seem to exist. What does this mean? It means it has no mass, or the mass is extremely small!"

"However, it does obscure the sky, and maybe we should try to understand it as a cosmic phenomenon and base our research on it."

The young man spoke more and more vigorously, as if he was confident in his own theory, and even the professor kept nodding his head, as if approving his words.

But immediately after, a harsh voice interrupted his words:
"As a theory, it is indeed remarkable, but don't be so confident. Our spaceship is still a lesson from the past. Maybe this shady scene is the effect of a technology we cannot understand?"

This voice is very familiar, but it makes everyone creepy.

"Fat, fat man? Didn't you get eaten by me—by that giant spider?" The young man just wanted to blurt out, but abruptly changed the second half of the sentence into information that everyone knew.

Most of the people didn't notice this, they were just astonished at Fatty's resurrection.

"That's not actually a giant spider—well, it looks very similar in appearance, but if we pay more attention, we can actually find that it's actually a large robot." Fatty didn't respond to everyone's surprise, and continued calmly. road:
"The body of that large robot is a storage room. Not long after you left, it hung me on a tree. It seems to be performing a disciplinary action."

"Afterwards, I managed to escape and chased here through the traces you left behind. Why, don't you welcome me?"

Fatty's explanation was so light that it was almost unbelievable for everyone.

But he appeared here alive again at this time, which made it difficult for everyone to explain.

Strangely, they remembered the previous discussion about the function of this ruin, thinking that it could bring the dead back to life.

So the fat man in front of him...is he someone who came back from the dead?

In the end, it was Cooper who said: "...Of course we welcome you, but for some reason, I need to ask you a few questions, and I can answer them before you can return to the team."

"Oh~ have you encountered some kind of monster that can imitate the appearance of others? But it doesn't matter, just ask."

"First question, who am I?"

"You're Cowper."

"Second question, where is your home planet?"

"It's the Carabolches star."

There were no abnormalities in the two consecutive questions, and the dignified expressions of everyone gradually relaxed. Only Cowper frowned tightly, feeling that there was something wrong with the person in front of him.

"One last question, what is the purpose of our coming here?"

"It's to explore the ruins recorded in your manuscript. How about it, is it okay?"

The fat man who answered all three questions perfectly made everyone believe him temporarily, and even Cowper looked relieved.

"Welcome back to the team, Fatty, I thought I'd never see you again in this life."

"Your experience is really legendary. If we can get out of here, I will write a book for you!"

"That's it!"

Everyone more or less sent similar words of celebration, and Cowper was no exception.

"I'm really glad that you are safe and sound, but we have a lot of new doubts during this time (Galactic Common Language)... Can you help us, a biologist (Laborn Language) ?”

"Of course not (Laborn)..."

At this moment, Copper's pupils shrank sharply, stopped everyone, and stared nervously at the fat man.

And the fat man also realized something, changed the language, and continued to speak in the common language of the Galaxy:
"...There's no need to be so vigilant, can't I learn a foreign language in private?"

"...Of course it's not about learning another foreign language," Cowper looked at the fat man solemnly, and said slowly:

"I don't know who you are, but you should have not been in contact with the interstellar society for a long time."

"Laborn language is notoriously difficult to learn in Interstellar. Basically, when foreigners need to use it, they use synthesized voice instead of it directly."

"...Hey, can you deny me in this way? It's a little biased." At this time, "Fatty" also looked at Cowper curiously, trying to make a final struggle.

Cowper, on the other hand, continued after a brief silence:

"The pronunciation of the Laborn language requires a special organ unique to the Labornians. And on our ship... I am the only one who is a Labornian."
