Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 256 Eternal Loneliness

【Ether phase engine】

[Introduction: This is the "ultimate giant structure" conceived to complete the "natural disaster plan".We will use the sun as a focal point to gather enough energy in the real universe and cause a surge of energy to completely break this boundary.After that, the virtual world will merge with the real universe, and the end will begin with us, and we will go to a higher world with our family... Is it likely to be like this?Did you really go to a higher world? 】

[Special Note: Welcome to the world of natural disasters!Hey, isn't this the etheric phase engine?Just look at the skull above! 】

This is the introduction of the derivative technology of the "Natural Disaster Project" - the ether phase engine in Li Wenyuan's database.

It is said to be an "engine", but this is actually a giant structure loaded on top of a star.

Its function is indeed "propelling", but what it promotes is the "rise" of a civilization as a whole, and it will inevitably destroy other life in the process.

This giant structure is very similar to a Dyson sphere when it is built, and it will wrap around the star.

But on the contrary, the star will only be brighter if it is wrapped by the "ether phase engine", because the "ether phase engine" used to focus the huge energy will burst out with more dazzling light than the stars during the work process.

Li Wenyuan has never actually seen it, but human beings still have a picture of the "simulated ether phase engine" starting.

An instantaneous energy fluctuation like the Big Bang destroyed all the planets in the galaxy in an instant.

The distance of hundreds of thousands of light years has no effect at this time, and the entire Milky Way has been impacted at the same time.

Stars collapsed into black holes, and ordinary planets were also shattered under the impact of huge energy, and were even directly knocked out of the gravitational circle of the galaxy.

The atmosphere of the gas giant planet is completely blown away, and the solid core is as doomed as ordinary planets.

Under such a burst of energy that destroys galaxies, no life can be spared. The only thing that can be thankful is that death comes only in an instant, without pain.

It can be said that there is no difference between building an "ether phase engine" and becoming a "natural disaster". Any intellectual life that wants to survive will resist to the end, and there is no possibility of mediation.

This is also the origin of the name of the "Ether Phase Engine" pre-requirement - "Natural Disaster Plan".

What Li Wenyuan didn't expect was that the "Ascended" civilization actually adopted the same method.

When he first learned from his memory, although he had guessed that this civilization was taking the same path, after all, the emphasis on technology was different. He felt that the "Ascended" civilization might have a new approach.

But the "Ether Phase Engine" discovered here revealed to him the way of the "Ascended" civilization.

"...Is it because the "Void Realm" is easy to bully, so that humans and 'Ascended' have noticed this sea of ​​​​energy early?"

Li Wenyuan didn't even care about the fleshy planet at this time, but was quite interested in the wreckage of this "ether phase engine".

Obviously the "Ascended" civilization is messed up, but there may be some data left in this wreckage, which can help him better understand the history of the "Ascended", and try to find the "" God's trace.

His intuition told him that that "God" was probably related to the "Ascension One".

So after the spaceship approached, he began to inspect various places of this "ether phase engine".

It is very different from the guess, there is actually a place similar to a "data repository" in this "ether phase engine", and there are traces of a large number of mechanical creations.

This seems to be inconsistent with the strong psychic atmosphere of this galaxy, but since the other party is an "Ascensionist" who is trying to develop in an all-round way, it is not impossible for this kind of contrast to appear.

However, after checking it, Li Wenyuan found that the data repository was completely damaged, and no useful information could be extracted.

"...Thinking about it, judging from the condition of this 'ether phase engine', it should have been completed, or nearly completed, but the only wreckage left is obviously destroyed in a big explosion .”

"Although the scale of this explosion is not as powerful as the actual activation, it is not easy to destroy the part that is close at hand, and it can still maintain a fairly complete framework, which can be regarded as the high technology of the 'Ascended' civilization... "

Regarding this fact, Li Wenyuan was a little helpless, but he still did not give up, trying to find possible traces within this framework.

And after searching, he really found something.

It was the strongest connection point in the frame, a hemispherical field that even the big bang couldn't destroy.

He initially ignored it due to its mundane nature and absence of any signals.

However, under meticulous scanning, Li Wenyuan found that this place seemed to be an "artificial intelligence control terminal", and the style used was even very similar to the style of the "artificial intelligence planet" in his records.

This immediately aroused his full attention, because he knew that all idealistic civilizations have a taboo attitude towards "artificial intelligence".

Even though the "Ascended" civilization is slightly different, it is still a spiritual civilization in essence, and "artificial intelligence" has indeed never been mentioned in the known history of "Ascended".

So a large number of drones began to separate the collapsed metal structures in the ruins, and quickly cleared a passage leading to the hemispherical field.

The dark hole seemed to reveal its secrets, but Li Wenyuan didn't hesitate and let the drone team rush in.

Everything on the road was recorded in high-definition images. In addition to the technologically-styled metal passages, there were also texts and pictures on the walls that were different in style from here and suspected of cult rituals.

Most of them are too old to see their original appearance, but there are still some characters that can be deciphered.

With the help of the knowledge previously obtained from the blocked memories of those fallen, Li Wenyuan successfully translated the content of this part of the text:
"...This seems to be some kind of place with lofty commemorative significance, and it is also related to 'sacrifice', 'loneliness', and 'eternity'? Why is there such a place on the 'Ether Phase Engine'?"

As the doubts in his heart deepened, the drone group also flew over countless obstacles, and finally came to the core of the building.

This is a huge inner room, and the surrounding walls are filled with various instruments and lighting equipment, most of which have been damaged, and the rest are also dim.

But in this dilapidated inner room, there is an extremely eye-catching device placed in the center, connected to a large number of lines.

That device seemed to be a nutrition cabin, and there was a breach on it, so that the liquid in the cabin was almost exhausted, leaving only a thin layer of "that thing" that was still protected in the nutrition cabin.

After seeing "that thing", Li Wenyuan's heart trembled slightly.

Because it was the brain of some kind of creature that hadn't died yet, exuding vivid colors, living tenaciously in this nutrition cabin.

It also seemed to have noticed Li Wenyuan's arrival, and the only remaining lights around it turned on again, illuminating this lonely world.
