Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 271 The "Degenerated" Star Devourer

"...What is that? Can the current alien civilization do such outrageous things? Calculated from the distance and reference objects, it seems to be about the same size as us?"

Seeing the video file recording "Aliens solve the doomsday strike" with their own eyes, some people couldn't help asking such questions, and this was what everyone present was thinking at this time.

If they saw it on the Internet, they would just laugh it off. After all, who can believe that "Superman" really exists.

However, the news of "Seeker [-]" broke their previous cognition, and they couldn't even understand how such a small object in the image could travel in space so easily.

The science fiction, or "magic" that only exists in their film and television works, appeared before their eyes.

While they were complacently thinking that it was a feat for the "Seeker 40" to fly to a distance of 210 billion kilometers in more than [-] years, the alien civilization had already developed to the point of "holding the sun, the moon, and the stars."

Now that the opponent has stopped the "Doomsday Strike", will they be noticed?
The staff members who were constantly typing characters on the instrument froze in mid-air at the same time, and almost everyone realized that "alien civilization is coming".

Assuming that the other party came with bad intentions, where would they go in the future?
Soon, the crackling sound that had disappeared due to the stagnation of movements sounded again, but there was a shadow hidden in the expression on everyone's face here.

The sudden "Doomsday Strike" has confirmed that the outside world is not very friendly, and their future will probably be "dark".

Unlike the pessimistic state of these people, Gray Wind at this time has not realized that what he did in space has been "witnessed" by these natives, and has caused them a considerable blow.

The nano-storm of astonishing scale forcibly intercepted the "Star Eater" mutants advancing at high speed, and under the action of inertia, many of these "Star Eater" mutants "knocked to death".

This also allowed Gray Wind to discover the difference between this "Star Eater" mutant and the "Star Eater" in the galaxy, the most obvious difference being the size difference.

This "star eater" variant is composed of a large number of miniature "star eaters", which is different from the entire life form of the galaxy.

Strictly speaking, the ones here should be called "star eater swarms", and those flying mosquito-sized "star eater" variants are most appropriately called insects.

They themselves can move by absorbing cosmic radiation, and like ordinary "star eaters", they will glow in the process.

Absorbing and transforming stellar matter is also one of their instincts, but in general, this "star-eating swarm" is actually a weakened version of "star-eating worms", there are many reasons.

"...I roughly analyzed the genetic structure of these 'Star Devourer' variants. Guess what I found? There is no trace of genetic modification in their genes, and their appearance is more like artificial selection! "

Gray Wind reported her new discovery to Li Wenyuan with some interest.

In the Milky Way, "breeding" is already an inefficient method. The interstellar civilizations who have mastered the genetic secrets are all directly genetically modified, and the genes required for targeted implantation and editing.Breeding will only appear in those immature interstellar civilizations, or simply indigenous civilizations.

However, the "Star Devourer" mutant that appears here now seems to be a "degenerate" creature that has gone through countless generations of changes.

Not only has the body size become smaller, but even the corresponding abilities have also become weaker.

According to Gray Wind's estimate, after the mutated "star eaters" stopped, the energy they released from transforming the star matter was not enough for them to gain the speed to escape the star's gravity.

At the same time, their efficiency in transforming stars has also become very low. In the past, a single "star eater" could devour a star in four to fifty years, but it would be more than ten times higher in the current state.

Judging from the current situation, this is a kind of creature that "goes and never returns". They obviously did not evolve for survival, but are more like artificially cultivated by a certain civilization for a certain purpose.

It is self-evident what this purpose is.

And Li Wenyuan, who was setting up his "property" somewhere, also received news from Gray Wind.

"...I see. Since this mutant star devourer is unable to reach that speed at all, there must be something that provides them with an initial speed. Combined with this breeding method and flight direction, it is basically certain that it is that' Indigenous Civilization Beta' did."

"It's really interesting. Is this a cross-galaxy attack? And they are rushing to destroy each other? There is no hyperspace channel here, so they use this inefficient but useful method to carry out 'war'?"

He also has a certain interest in this. After all, this kind of situation is rare in the galaxy. Almost all indigenous civilization scientists can discover the existence of hyperspace in the pre-space age or even the atomic age.

Instead of waiting for the "slow" light-speed strike that takes decades to prepare and more time to arrive, it is better to directly hit the doorstep of the spacecraft in a few months. Few people have considered the question of "how much is the speed of light".

But the situation here is different. In addition to being interested in the interstellar social environment and civilization development process here, Li Wenyuan also wants to know where the "hyperspace" here is.

It is impossible to understand the reason from the few hyperspace traces that remain. In addition to searching for possible human remains, he thinks that the civilizations in this galaxy may also know something.

And the civilizations that have reached the atomic age already have a certain understanding of the universe, and even indigenous civilizations may find clues.

So Li Wenyuan continued to say to Gray Wind: "If you are interested, you can go to that indigenous civilization Alpha to play, and help me look through the top-secret information of those countries by the way."

After getting an affirmative answer, he himself planned to go to another place after relocating his belongings, that is, the "Native Civilization Beta" that launched the "Star Eater" attack.

From the point of view of means, the technological level of this indigenous civilization beta should be higher, and it can even strike across galaxies.

The abnormal acceleration in the trajectory of the "Star Devourer" mutant also made him interested in this civilization, and he felt that this civilization would definitely let him know something.

At this time, Gray Wind has also arrived at "Indigenous Civilization Alpha".

She directly flies in the sky here in a human form, and nano-robots invisible to the naked eye are also integrated into the interior of the civilization here, using the convenient network to download a large amount of history here.

At the same time, she also found that the indigenous creatures here seem to have a large-scale panic. Some people are holding large-scale protests, but more people are rushing to buy supplies. There are riots from time to time, a scene of doomsday.

"... Hasn't the 'Star Devourer' mutant been eliminated? Why is there still a riot?" Gray Wind quietly fell into the crowd with curiosity.
