Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 302 The World Tree
"...Leader, is it really okay for us to hand over the secret of the 'lost database' like this?"

Wandering the streets of the Homeship, a scientist following the leader of the Chaser the Light, still trying to present the pros and cons of the matter to their leader.

The resolution to share the "lost database" with the aiding civilization was passed in the Science Council. It stands to reason that this matter should be exposed. However, there are very few people who disagree with this matter in the Council. They still want the leader to change follow-up decisions.

In this regard, the leader of "Chasing Light" does not agree.

"We always have to show a little bit of our value. Of course, the other party may choose to help us only out of the ethics of good and evil, but life cannot always rely on the goodwill of others."

"A useless piece of wood cannot make people do their best. We must understand this. The interests of civilizations may not be the most important, but they will definitely have a major impact on decision-making."

"Besides, aren't we unable to decipher most of the data? If we give it to the other party, we may also get some knowledge to share. Even if we can't, we can also form a good relationship."

The scientist couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard the leader's answer, but he didn't refute, just sighed.

He actually understands these reasons. At best, he is a hamster, and he doesn't want to let the things in his hands go out. At worst, he is selfish. Even if they can't analyze the data, they would rather keep it in their hands.

However, the leader of "Zhuguang" didn't care about this matter, but thought about the response he received before in his heart.

As he expected, that civilization did show interest in their "lost database". At the same time, he also learned that that civilization called itself "Guardian", and in the future they would no longer need to call themselves "assisting civilization, aiding civilization".

However, due to the extremely long distance, at least it is impossible for the "Guardians" to visit the "Lost Database" in person. They can only extract the incomprehensible damaged data as much as possible, and then send it over there to decipher it.

The "Light Chasing" civilization has done a lot of research on these data, which they regard as their lifeblood, most of which have been broken into pieces and cannot be reassembled with their current means; the rest are all encrypted There are not many data that can be cracked.

For these things, the leader of "Chasing Light" has nothing to commemorate. He is just thinking, is there any way to help them leave this "cradle of hell" completely in these data?

Although the "Guardian" didn't say it, he knew that the previous method of "teleporting" the cargo spacecraft across 500 million light years was probably the way the "Guardian" prepared for them to leave.

Facts have proved that this method is indeed feasible under normal conditions. After all, he also witnessed a cargo spaceship appearing in their galaxy without warning. With this method, it is not impossible for them to use the same technology to move outward. possible.

However, the special galaxy environment here makes it impossible for them to leave this way, and even civilizations outside the galaxy cannot use the same method to enter here.

They seem to be trapped here to death, but the leader of "Chasing Light" believes that there is no end to the sky.

They met noble people at the most critical moment, which meant that their path of civilization should not be cut off. Even if destruction was inevitable, it would be after they became the "final victors".

He once again convened the Science Council with the purpose of discussing the follow-up policy against the "Fire Chaser".

Logically speaking, with the hope of "foreign help", they should stop the endless internal friction, unite the last strength, and jointly study how to get out of here.

But the leaders of "Chasing Light" know that they can choose to do this in any other civilization, only "Chasing Fire" can't.

Only this lost empire is not feasible.

The stars were turning, and with the round-the-clock non-stop high-intensity work of the "monitoring outpost", Li Wenyuan gradually received and completed the "lost data".

Because it is extremely troublesome to extract data from that old "archive" building, a little carelessness will lead to data damage, even if the "Light Chasing" civilization has studied for so long, the amount of data that can be transmitted It is also extremely limited, but this is enough for the time being.

After receiving the current data, Li Wenyuan immediately compared it with the data in the "Archives" building of "Far Traveler".

He believes that it is definitely not a coincidence that the same building appears in two galaxies that are far apart, and there must be something behind it that dominates all this.

In the end, after a long comparison, Li Wenyuan finally found that part of the data was "completely consistent".

Even if it is damaged data or encrypted data, the similarity can be compared by various means, and among them, exactly the same data can be found that can be identified as the same item.

This almost proves that the "archive" building carrying these data came from the same civilization, but the distance between the Milky Way and the "cradle" has a huge span.

"Will this be a civilization similar to 'Recorder'?"

This kind of behavior that seems to leave "traces" in many galaxies made Li Wenyuan immediately think whether these buildings were built by another civilization similar to the "Recorder", but he quickly denied it.

Because the styles of this kind of building are extremely diverse, the encryption methods are also different, and even the language used to write data is different. It looks more like a building jointly built by multiple civilizations.

Not only that, but there are also some suspected human content in these two archive buildings, but human beings have never been to the "cradle" at all.

This part of the data, which is very similar to human methods, once confused Li Wenyuan a lot, but he later thought that it might be left by a civilization that imitated human beings, so he didn't take it to heart.

However, seeing this kind of data again at this time, he couldn't help thinking: "...a kind of loose alliance organization did it? There may be civilizations that have seen human beings in it? But how long has it been since human beings made their fortunes..."

With doubts, Li Wenyuan tried to decipher the data from "Zhuguang", hoping to understand the origin of this part of the data.

And somewhat beyond his expectations, he really learned an amazing truth from it.

It is a string of information that may be related to the lost empire in "The Cradle", the Fire Chaser.

"Chasing Light" has dealt with this lost empire a lot, and also found that this part of the data is very similar to the style of "Fire Chasing".

Limited by their own technological level, they were unable to decipher this content, but they provided Li Wenyuan with ideas and possible solutions.

After going through a series of complicated calculations, this string of information related to the "Fire Chaser" gradually appeared in front of Li Wenyuan's eyes.

[...We have gone through the last cosmic epoch, trying our best to survive the big bang, just to let "us" come to this world earlier]

[But what is the way to make "us" a little faster than last time? 】

[Other methods have been practiced by others, and the effect is not yet clear. Now we can only rely on ourselves, and "we" also need to choose a path that suits us]

[Perhaps, a "Gaia galaxy" would be a feasible method? 】

【…】

At the same time that this string of information was exposed, in the distant "cradle" galaxy, the lost empire of the "Fire Chaser", which had not been moved for a long time, also ignited his ancient vitality again.

On the land of the dead planet filled with the breath of death, a large number of plant branches suddenly appeared. They pushed away the sand, gravel, soil, and building ruins, and covered the entire surface of the planet in an instant.

However, the scene that should look vibrant, but because of the image of the plant itself, appears lifeless.

This is a strange translucent plant. It obviously has a similar appearance to ordinary seed plants after growth, but it is miraculously translucent. It seems that veins like blood vessels can be seen inside, and liquid flows in it. .

The withered branches and yellowing stems and leaves seem to indicate that their condition is not very good. However, after a tiny cockroach climbed up their translucent branches, it seemed to be stuck in glue and quickly merged with the plants. into one, and then visibly digested to the naked eye.

But the translucent body was not supplemented by eating, but became more transparent.

In the end, these vegetation seemed to be stimulated, trembling crazily on the ground, and a large amount of land was thrown into the sky, revealing the dense and intricate rhizomes under the earth's crust.

And these wriggling rhizomes seem to have no will, except for destruction or destruction, without any possibility of wisdom.

This is "Fire Chaser", a plant civilization.

If "Sun Engineer" saw this scene, he might think of something.

Because of this kind of plant, he once saw it in the virtual image of "Gaia Supreme Galaxy" - the kind of giant tree that stands up to the sky like a world tree.
