Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 36 Dormant
The activation of the sentinel array allowed Li Wenyuan to obtain a large amount of information about the surrounding star fields in an instant.

But this sudden influx of information also put a heavy burden on the "planetary processor" on Earth, and he had to build a second planetary processor to share the pressure.

However, with this sentinel array, he has a real-time monitoring function for the surrounding star field, which undoubtedly adds a bit of security to him.

In this way, he doesn't have to let the unmanned fleet use the jump engine to rush every time, so as to prevent accidents during the cooling of the engine and cannot be dealt with in time.

"I still need more fleets... Only one fleet is not enough. The expanded star field is enough for the time being, and I can keep a low profile for a while..."

Li Wenyuan's eyes flickered, and he temporarily adjusted his development strategy.

Now his scientific research ability has been able to research level [-] technology, and the "megastructure project" is already on the way of research and development.

But his industrial production capacity has not caught up for the time being. Not to mention building a large number of ships, he has not even gathered the huge amount of resources needed to build giant buildings.

The dock frameworks on other star bases are still under construction, and now he mainly relies on the "Sky Sky Station" of the solar system, which can only operate up to six ships at the same time.

"Then... just stay dormant for a while."

As a result, the "Guardian" Lost Empire, which was valued, suspended its expansion.

The adventurers who were rescued at the Kribo Trading Post brought the news of the "Guardian" to all parts of the galaxy, and let all young civilizations understand that there is still a fifth lost empire in this galaxy.

Countless young civilizations who were paying attention here did not let down their vigilance, because they didn't know whether this was the lion's sleep again, or the calm before the storm.

The espionage activities around this star field became frequent again, and countless information drifted across the interstellar space, became known to everyone, and became a hot topic in the interstellar forum.

After careful observation and testing, a group of daring interstellar explorers came up with the approximate territory of the "Guardian" lost empire.

It was a small star field containing more than a dozen star systems. Compared with those interstellar civilizations that often spanned hundreds of galaxies, it was indeed much smaller, but it was very consistent with the "simplified" image of the lost empire.

And they also confirmed that the lost empire had indeed repaired a "sentry array" that was deemed irreparable. Although it is not clear to what extent the repair was, at least everything within the range of thousands of galaxies was safe for the "guardian" lost empire. Unobstructed.

This further illustrates the unfathomable science and technology of the lost empire, making all civilizations more cautious.

After that, in the star maps of most interstellar civilizations, a new force appeared in the empty border of the galaxy.

It only has a short string of words in the star map: Guardian.

But there is a description that no one can underestimate in the introduction to it: the mechanical lost empire.

In this way, Li Wenyuan began a temporary hibernation.

Factories on all planets are producing day and night, and scientific research divisions are operating at full capacity.

Their output is large, but it still takes a certain amount of time to accumulate for demand on a cosmic scale.

After all, it's been more than ten years since Li Wenyuan traveled here.This time is enough to be powerful on the earth, but it is not enough to be seen in the interstellar world.

Therefore, during this period of dormancy, Li Wenyuan, who had nothing to do, turned his attention to the excavation of the ruins.

……

"...Boss, when can we have another big meal?"

In the floating pirate ship, a young pirate held a low-quality energy bar and looked at the pirate leader pitifully.

For a month, they basically lived a wandering life with no fixed residence and wandering around.

The energy bar in their hands has become their food during this time, but this unpalatable and unnutritious thing is a huge torture to both the spirit and the body.

Even if the little pirate can eat, he has lost a lot of weight over the past month, let alone other people.

Except for him and the pirate leader, the rest of the pirate members couldn't bear such a bad life in space, so they all quit and left the pirate life.

It can be said that there is not much difference between the current pirate leader and the polished commander.

The pirate leader was also chewing the energy bar with difficulty, and felt uncomfortable hearing what the younger brother said, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

The pirates on their ship were actually rich kids from a certain interstellar civilization, and they sneaked out on a whim because of the influence of many interstellar adventure novels.

And the current pirate leader is the boss of this group of people. He simply bought a pirate ship, and then led everyone on a "thrilling" pirate journey.

At the beginning, they were full of self-confidence and vowed to become the famous "gentlemen and pirates" in the novel, which surprised the family.

However, they were soon slapped severely by the cruel Xingji.

This group of naive young people was cheated of all their money by an experienced real pirate on the first day, and almost all of them were sold to slave traders.

Later, because the pirate ship he was on had no signal identification, he was hunted down by various frigates, and on several occasions he almost hated space directly.

Coupled with the lack of proficiency in business and lack of cruelty, the robbed ship would be let go as soon as it begged for mercy, and it would even take some of the wealth it had accumulated with great difficulty.

So in the bumps and bumps of three or four years, apart from bullying the weak civilization that had just entered space, this group of "pirates" was almost always in a state of being beaten and running.

The pirate leader also recognized the reality, but he dared not go back, because their actions were indeed "pirates".

Others can go back to normal life through operation, but he, the "organizer", will basically go to jail.

In the end, he was desperate and came to this galaxy.

"...Brother, it will be very difficult for me to get ahead in this life. You can still be saved when you go back now, and you don't need to hang yourself with a rope here, brother."

"No! I will be where you are!"

The firm voice of the pirate boy made the pirate leader feel guilty. Looking at this good friend who had been by his side since he was a child, he decided to use another method to make up for him.

So the pirate leader said loudly: "As expected of my most loyal subordinate! Then let's fight for a big one!"

"Listen to the boss!"

The floating pirate spaceship started its thrusters again, with only enough fuel left to fly to the nearest trading post, and this may be its last voyage.

But the pirate leader has a clear goal, pointing directly at a lush planet in this star system.

The engine of the spaceship accelerated suddenly, pushing the pirate spaceship to fall towards the planet like a meteor.

The friction between the shell and the planet's atmosphere produced a dazzling light, which also made the creatures living peacefully on the planet look to the sky.

It crossed the ocean, across the mountains, across the forest, and finally fell on a plain.

The huge impact caused the native species on the planet to fall into chaos, and they all looked at the smoking ground in horror, not knowing what happened.

However, soon, two heavily armed figures walked out of the smoke and dust.

One of them looked arrogant, while the other looked curious.

Facing the expressions of these native creatures, the arrogant man spoke slowly in a language they could not understand:

"Welcome to God! You natives!"

The riots here are still going on.

But after the two pirates, this star system received a strange visitor.

A scientific research spacecraft approached here quietly, recording the images of the entire planet.

And Li Wenyuan also looked at the ancient star map in the database, and ticked one of the star systems marked as "key".

"...Found another planet with human remains. So this time, what will be on this planet?"
