Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 394 The Scale of the Time Squid
【Scale of Time Crab】

[Introduction: He has been waiting for you for too long...]

This seems to be the trace left by human beings here. An object called "Scale of Time Squid" has a very short introduction, even so short that it is very different from the usual style of human beings.

But in "Hunter", this is something that even they can't decipher.

Not only these, from the introduction, it seems that this is for him, for "Li Wenyuan".

The so-called "waiting" means he is the one waiting.

After the "hunter" moved the object to the vicinity of Li Wenyuan's spaceship, he really saw the appearance of the "Scale of Time Squid" with his own eyes.

In the data delivered by the "Hunter" before, there is only a short video record of "The Scale of Time". According to them, it seems that there is a "mysterious force" interfering with their shooting.

After actually seeing the "Scale of the Time Squid", Li Wenyuan realized what that "mysterious power" was.

He himself is a piece of data living in the virtual world, and all external perceptions are essentially from the detection of various sensor devices. At this time, through the battleship sensors near the "Scale of Time", he feels very freshly. To the feeling of "communication being disturbed".

There is indeed "something" that is interfering with the data transmission nearby. Even his equipment cannot detect the source of this mysterious disturbance, and even the "abnormal alarm" did not occur.

In the detection of these detection equipment, their surroundings are quite normal, and there is no "abnormality" in any way.

However, Li Wenyuan could see "disturbances" like snow patterns in those sensors that directly imaged through optics. They were of different sizes and flickered back and forth around the "Scale of Time Weaver", which looked like the sensor was broken.

It's hard to understand why optical imaging sensors would have this problem, but the "disturbance" didn't exist for long and quickly disappeared without a trace.

What appeared to Li Wenyuan after the "interference" was over was a translucent object enclosed in a transparent observation box, which seemed to be the scales of some kind of "creature".

"But this size...if it's really a 'creature', it's probably much bigger than the Ether Dragon, right?"

The scale itself looks like a melon seed shell, with obvious radians and protrusions. The light seems to be scattered unknown after passing through its translucent surface, making the entire scale appear very dark.

In the spectrum received by the sensor, it also shows that most of the wavelengths of light are absorbed by it, and only a few can be reflected on the surface of the scales or directly penetrate the scales, forming the current "time scorpion" in terms of optical effects. scales".

At the same time, Li Wenyuan also found that his detector could not analyze the material of the scales, which was a very novel experience for him now.

The composition of matter in this "universe" is basically fixed. Generally speaking, with the current level of his detectors, there is no need to use "sampling" methods, and it is possible to directly obtain the information of something by just "seeing". material composition.

However, judging from the reaction of matter on the "Scale of Time", this is an unprecedented "new matter", and it is even difficult to define it as a product of this universe, as if it came from another "world".

The current "Scale of Time Scale" is vibrating almost imperceptibly due to some unknown power. Although the universe is a vacuum, the transparent box used to hold the "Scale of Time Squid" is not.

The gas turbulence generated by the vibration of the "Scale of Time Squid" was faithfully recorded by the sensor in the box and passed to Li Wenyuan.

When handing over this magical object, "Hunter" removed any program restrictions on the box, so even if the standards are different, Li Wenyuan can easily hack into these sensors and connect with them.

Thanks to this, he also obtained the vibration data of "The Scale of Time Squid". Although it looks messy at first glance, with more data support, he can draw some "regular" conclusions.

Judging from the research records of "Hunter", they believe that this vibration is like the sound of some insects vibrating their wings to attract attention, and the purpose is to "attract attention".

In addition, they also believed that this regular vibration meant that the "Scale of Time Squid" was "speaking" something, but unfortunately their experts could not get the answer to this question.

For Li Wenyuan, although these vibrations are regular, it is difficult to decipher their secrets. He always feels that the ripples caused by those vibrations are familiar, but he can't think of the answer for a while.

"And... is this really left by humans?"

In a short thought, Li Wenyuan had such doubts.

Now the entire "Exile" galaxy is no different from being explored. He has not found human remains, nor has he found the "observation terminal" and "purification terminal" that should exist as expected.

If the data he saw was everything the "Hunter" found, then only this "Scale of Time Squid" would be the greatest possibility.

The "hunters" didn't know the real name of this thing, they named it "abnormal object X", and recorded the observation log of it in detail, the content was also plain, only mentioning the special material composition and vibration .

What made Li Wenyuan focus on the "Scale of the Time Scale" at a glance was the location of the "Scale of the Time Squid", which is a black hole galaxy, and there are nearly twenty "dead planets" of different sizes in it.

Biological organisms may forget this long-standing memory, but Li Wenyuan, who is a data life, cannot forget it.

He clearly remembered that there was also a unique galaxy with a large number of "dead planets" in the Milky Way, and the gravitational source of the galaxy also happened to be a black hole.

The more important point is that this "dead planet" galaxy is also the place where Li Wenyuan first learned about the "Ring of Time".

Gray Wind heard the "black hole" calling her there, and Li Wenyuan also found traces left by humans near the black hole - "strange cycle".

In the galaxies he has traveled in the past, he has not been able to find this kind of "dead planet" galaxy again. This time he found it in the "Exile" galaxy, and he was sure at a glance that this was the place he was looking for.

And this "Scale of Time Squid" from there must also have a huge secret.

But it's a pity that he can't analyze the secret of the "Scale of Time Scale" now, and this strange way of leaving information also makes him doubt whether it is something left by human beings.

"...and the profile that goes with it is really weird, it's impossible for them to leave a message for me in this tone..."

The doubts did not decrease but increased, so Li Wenyuan immediately decided to go to the "dead planet" galaxy to take a look.

It was originally under the control of the "Hunter" civilization, but now it was also handed over to Li Wenyuan along with the "Scale of Time".

The fluctuation of the jump flashed by, and the curiosity to understand this secret made him temporarily put aside the rest of the business and came there directly.

Very similar to the scenery in the Milky Way, a "dead galaxy" full of dead planets, the accretion disk of the central black hole is no longer bright, but the outline of the ball can still be roughly seen.

Li Wenyuan didn't detect any special fluctuations when he first arrived, but soon his consciousness was directly in the virtual world.

He could "hear" "something" calling him, not through sensors or data networks, but as if it appeared directly in his consciousness.

He checked the integrity of his consciousness data almost subconsciously, but found that there were no problems, neither data reduction nor new data inflow.

The "perception" of the data body needs to be completed by relying on data. His vision, hearing and all other senses essentially convert the changes of external substances into data, and perceive by interpreting the data.

This process will be accompanied by an increase in the amount of data, but Li Wenyuan found that his consciousness data has not changed at all.

Before he had time to think about what was going on, the "voice" started calling him again.

【——Li Wenyuan——】

This time the call was very clear and clear, and his name could be recognized in an instant, but the "language" used was difficult to understand.

That does not seem to be any language that exists in this universe, but a language that is more special, more chaotic, more difficult to understand, but has a strange order.

It seems to be the reading method of the "data" characters that make up this universe. After a certain combination of those numbers, the name of this "Chinese" is finally formed.

It reads like this in Chinese, but the reading in "data" is the mysterious language just now.

Li Wenyuan didn't understand why he could "understand" this language, or even understand the meaning it expressed.

But the next moment he didn't think about it anymore, because the third "call" came.

He could clearly feel that the owner of the "voice" seemed to have some kind of emotion, maybe it was joy, maybe it was eagerness, or maybe it was some higher level emotion.

As "The Scale of Time" said, the other party seems to have been "waiting" for him for a long time.

And Li Wenyuan's gaze also looked through the sensor, looking at the black hole with a spherical outline faintly exposed because of the luminous accretion disk.

There seems to be some "creature" twisting in the black hole at this time, and anyone who looks at it will feel creepy.

However, Li Wenyuan didn't think so, instead he felt relieved.

"Finally, is it my turn to 'name'?"
