Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 280 The Wheel of History

Li Wenyuan still remembers that the "variable terminal" discovered in the "lower three-spindle arm" had a very clear introduction to the function of its own "planetary machinery".

"Weapon of Destruction" is it, "Bystander" is it, "Creator" can be it too, everything depends on the builder's setting in its code.

Different from the existing modified entertainment "variable terminal", there may have been such a real "variable terminal" in the "Spiral Galaxy Alpha", and the function set by its builder may be simply " Cultivate a perfect civilization".

The "variable terminal" at this stage basically does not communicate with the outside world, and most of the related buildings are passive. This is also the earliest stage of the "chronicler" ruins discovered by the Utes.

However, some changes happened to the later "variable terminal", and it gradually moved towards the opposite path from the preset purpose.

And the source of this change... Li Wenyuan roughly calculated the time, and felt that the human beings hadn't escaped.

In the past, humans came to this galaxy and found a new artificial intelligence planet here, and then "slightly" modified the program of the "Variable Terminal", making the "Variable Terminal" finally become the "Chronicler".

But the final ending of "Chronicle" is that it disappeared mysteriously very abruptly, without leaving even a trace.

Li Wenyuan feels that this is mostly related to the civilization that created the "Variable Terminal", and the "Tianxing Empire", which is the last link in the history of the "Chronicler", is probably just the fuse.

Only that mysterious civilization can so easily destroy a "peak civilization" standing at the top of the galaxy, because that is their creation.

And this "heavenly moat" that separates the galaxy is probably also the work of that civilization.

"...such a powerful civilization, why do they put 'observation terminals' everywhere? They even came up with 'variable terminals', which are inexplicable planetary machines... Isn't the world of 'chronicle' what they hope to see? ?”

His doubts increased with the number of discoveries, and he became more and more sure that the information he needed was on the other side of the "Sky Moat".

Whether it's from the human race, from the "Chronicler", or from the "Tianxing Empire", or even from the mysterious civilization that built the "observation terminal", he can find the answer from there.

The only problem now is the "natural moat" that spans [-] light years.

Theoretically speaking, whether it is a distance of one light-year or a distance of [-] million light-years, the jump engine can reach it instantly.

The principle it uses is to directly reconstruct the space-time continuity of the space it is in, and directly "turn" the surroundings into a destination from the quantum level, so as to achieve instant movement.

All that is needed is the real-time and accurate data of various indexes of the destination space, and the huge energy enough to reconstruct time and space.

Usually, the sentinel array is enough to meet the needs of the jump engine for coordinates. Even if it is not enough, he can "borrow" the observation stations of other civilizations to determine the coordinates.

But this time the "Sky Moat" is too far away. When the sentinel array tries its best to detect the edge of the Scorpio, the scan data is already very unstable and cannot be used as the coordinates required for the transition, but can directly monitor the "observation terminal" of the entire galaxy. And on the other side of the moat.

But Li Wenyuan knew that even if he didn't need to jump, he could still find a way to the past.

"...The transformed "Variable Terminal" is obviously not a 'Chronicler', it's too 'new', more like it appeared there after humans left for a long time.

"If the real 'Chronicler' still has wreckage, it's probably on the other side of the moat."

"The transformation of this 'variable terminal' here is quite suspicious. Basically, it must have been transformed by the civilization on the other side. In this case, they must have the means to come..."

He also wondered if the civilization over there had mastered the "jump engine" or "virtual shuttle" technology to cross the sky. After all, they have the help of the "observation terminal", so they don't have to worry about the civilization of the coordinates.

However, after various tests, Li Wenyuan determined that the civilization over there could not do these things.

The first is the phenomenon that the use of the jump engine will inevitably cause-the space-time structure becomes fragile, which has not been found in this galaxy.

Theoretically, the more the jump engine is used, the weaker the space-time structure will be, the easier it will be to start next time, and the less energy will be required.

However, there is no such sign in this galaxy. It is possible that the jump engine was not used here in the "Chronicler" era, and the only trace was formed after Li Wenyuan's arrival.

In addition, the virtual realm of this galaxy is much smaller than that of the "elliptical galaxy Alpha", and it is even much smaller than the virtual realm of the Milky Way, but there is no trace of external force interference, and it is still in the at a very primitive stage.

This means that the creatures here basically don't have the potential to be born with psionic energy, or only a very small number of creatures are born, and the use of the void is also a little bit, and it is far from the point of using the void to move.

Li Wenyuan also thought about using the Void to move, but he is just a "robot", which is incompatible with the Void.

Usually, it is okay to break into the virtual world to see the scenery, but it is impossible to use the virtual world to carry out the ideal teleportation method of "I think I have arrived".

And the prosthetic body chosen under his command is still studying the corresponding relationship between the virtual world and the real space here, and cannot go to the other side for the time being.

After much deliberation, he decided to use a more secure method, which is the means by which the "upper three-arm" civilization came to the "lower three-arm" civilization.

As for this method, he felt that in terms of the overall civilization level of this galaxy, there was a high probability that it would be "wormhole navigation".Even if it is not, it is considered a method of exclusion.

So he began to pay a lot of attention to and verify all the wormholes in the "lower triple spiral arm", and found the target as expected.

It was an ordinary galaxy near the "variable terminal", with a mediocre galaxy type and a barren planet with a bad street, and it didn't seem to have any points worth paying attention to.

But the galaxy itself is ordinary, but it doesn't mean everything in the galaxy is ordinary.

Li Wenyuan also discovered that, apart from a wormhole near this galaxy, there are also a large number of hyperspace debris in this place.

There seemed to be a "hyperspace node" here, from which many hyperspace waterways extended, and he also found evidence.

——An obelisk monument floating in space and revolving around a certain planet. The surface of the alloy monument is engraved with the following words in human characters:
["Spiral Galaxy Alpha" Interstellar Channel Engineering Monument]

[To commemorate our contribution to the infrastructure construction of the universe]

【"I think this time at least it can be used until the end of the universe!" ——Liu, Director of the Engineering Department]

"It's not 'XX came here for a visit'?" Li Wenyuan sighed. After confirming that the obelisk was only a purely monumental building, he set his sights on another noteworthy thing on the edge of the galaxy.

It was a wormhole, and it seemed fairly stable.

He had detected the inside of the wormhole in advance, and after the detection wave traveled a certain distance in a zigzag manner, it was confirmed that the place where the wormhole leads is indeed in the "upper triple spiral arm".

He is ready to go in and see what kind of interstellar society is on the other side of the sky.

However, in a place he didn't find, near the exit of the wormhole, there was a group of people frantically planning how to "dispose" him.

"... That civilization discovered the passage! Damn guy, how did he manage to select the target from the galaxies and wormholes in such a short period of time?"

"There are a lot of hyperspace debris near the wormhole. That civilization may have noticed it because of this. I said earlier that the passage cannot be opened in such a place!"

"But... without the help of hyperspace debris that can affect the stability of space, we can't open up this passage so easily..."

These people are arguing with each other, but they are all from the "Tianxing Empire" dignitaries. Usually, the appearance of one of these people will cause shock to the citizens of the empire, but at this moment they are making ugly appearances in order to achieve their goals.

"...No matter! Destroy the passage quickly! At worst, I won't appreciate the struggle of those 'beasts' in the future, so let's keep the secret here first."

Someone's proposal attracted the approval of most people, but just as they were about to implement the plan, someone suddenly asked:

"Who of you know how to destroy the wormhole passage?"

This sentence was like the autumn wind blowing, and everyone present was stunned in an instant.

"...If I remember correctly, the last time someone accidentally burned the database due to a short circuit while drinking tea, we lost a lot of technology..."

"..."

These people looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Finally, one of them spoke:

"...Don't worry, don't we have the 'Almighty Treasure House'? We got everything from it, and it will be 'unstingy' this time, right?"

So, some of them went to the place called "Almighty Treasure House", preparing to find a way to destroy the wormhole passage.

And there was a familiar but dilapidated mechanical planet.

——Or, it is an artificial intelligence planet.
