Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 40 Star Devourer

"... After digging for so long, you dug up this thing?"

Li Wenyuan looked at the ground that had been planed around, showing a suspicious expression.

But Cowper and the professor nodded happily, holding the blueprint in their hands and saying:
"Yes, we have confirmed that this is indeed an ancient site and not a ruin."

"According to the restoration, we believe that this is actually some kind of monumental building. And the analysis of these site materials shows that most of this memorial building is composed of the remains of a living thing."

"..." Li Wenyuan didn't know how to answer the question for a while, because this "relic" covers an astonishing area of ​​more than 60 square kilometers, which can be easily seen with the naked eye in space.

And it was actually built with the remains of some kind of creature, so how old was this creature before it was alive?
What puzzled him the most was that such a huge building was actually used as a memorial?
"Also, we found an encrypted document from this ancient site, which has been uploaded to the database."

Cowper informed the guardian of the last information unearthed in this ancient site, and then quickly went to the next site to be excavated with the professor.

The excavation of this site is too ordinary, there are no thrilling mechanisms, and there are no magical and different phenomena. It has no characteristics except for its large size, and it is not interesting to dig.

For the two who are used to the excitement, it is simply tasteless, and they can't wait to start a new excavation work earlier.

Li Wenyuan, who was just about to ask if he needed a vacation, shook his head when he saw their eagerness, and focused on the encrypted document.

The encryption of this document was not cumbersome, and he easily read the content, and soon discovered that it was introducing the origin of this memorial building.

[25 Years of Ascension Era]

[We have observed a giant space creature approaching the solar system]

[Due to its overly bright body, we thought it was a star at first]

[But according to the gravitational anomaly caused by it, we found that its actual size is about between Mars and the Earth, and it will not be too large]

[Why can such a creature emit light that is more dazzling than a star? 】

【So before it got close to the sun's gravity well, we sent people to conduct an all-round survey on it】

【This seems to be a space creature that feeds on stellar matter. Its high body density and unknown internal organs allow it to parasitize on the surface of stars and directly grab stellar matter without any influence】

[It always transforms the stellar matter into brighter light and releases it outward. We speculate that its behavior is to attract the possible existence of the same kind]

[According to its habit of devouring stellar matter, we named it "Star Devourer"]

[This star eater came straight to the sun, so we solved it halfway to prevent it from affecting the solar system]

[And part of its wreckage was collected by us and built into such a memorial building to commemorate our first confirmation that the universe is not alone]

The end of the introduction also made Li Wenyuan understand that this huge building is really just a memorial building.

"However, it can be regarded as a little understanding of the past of human beings. 'Creatures that feed on stars'? It's quite interesting, so how many such curious cosmic creatures exist in this galaxy?"

"...Let's continue looking for the remains of human beings first. It would be great if each of the remains could tell some history about the past. Let me see if the next galaxy is...Botu galaxy?"

…………

"—Botu Galaxy?" When Brainin heard the name, he just raised his head and glanced at the subordinates beside him, and returned to that lazy look again.

"I said that I don't like to hear these useless things. The last guy has already been sent to the gate by me. Do I have to send you to mine to understand what it means to 'try to understand the boss'?"

The subordinate was also terrified, but even so, he tried his best to convey the message to the boss in front of him:

"The observatory has confirmed that the culprit who caused the star to go out before is a 'star devourer'. According to predictions, its next stop is the Botu galaxy, and this galaxy... is near the lost empire of the 'Guardian'."

"..." Hearing the key words, Breining straightened up instantly, changed his previous lazy look, and looked at this subordinate with a serious face.

"This is a major event worthy of attention. You have done a good job! I announce that the total time you need to work for the company without pay will be shortened to 5 years from now on, as a reward for your bravery!"

The subordinate was surprised and delighted at the same time, thanking Bu Ning repeatedly for his cultivation.

But Brianin waved him away, pacing back and forth in this casino.

"...The nearest observation station to the 'Guardian' is here. Although other civilizations have established observation stations nearby, they have not yet been completed. This is an excellent opportunity for publicity."

"The Lost Empire will not allow threats around itself. If the 'Guardian' can exclusively broadcast the scene of the 'Guardian' destroying the Star Devourer, it will definitely increase the popularity of the company and promote the 'Guardian' by the way."

"It's really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone! No, I have to contact the director immediately..."

As a result, a large amount of information interaction circulates from here again.

Some civilizations faintly noticed something and stepped up the construction of the observatory, but they still lost the opportunity compared to Ke Ruibo, who was close to the water and got the moon first.

Almost all eyes of the galaxy are looking at an inconspicuous galaxy named "Botu". Some interstellar adventurers who are nearby even went in for a walk and sold the internal situation at a high price before the arrival of the star devourers. Earn your last cash.

At the same time, the news that there is an indigenous civilization in this galaxy has also been known to all civilizations, but most civilizations don't care about it. They want to know how the "Guardian" wiped out the cosmic creatures that devoured stars.

Except for one special civilization: the Tinder Alliance.

"This group of profit-seeking Huanyu enterprises! They are so close, why don't they save that indigenous civilization? Even if it's just transferring part of their population!"

"Don't be indignant, those ruthless guys can't do such a thankless thing. Our spaceship closest to the Botu galaxy has already set off, hoping to save them before the arrival of the star devourers."

There were overwhelming voices of accusation in the capital galaxy of the Fire Alliance, scolding Ke Ruibo for not being saved, and other civilizations gloating, and at the same time asking civilizations closer to the Botu galaxy to lend a helping hand.

They were once an indigenous civilization, and they kept the last fire in a catastrophe, and it took much longer than other civilizations to barely stand in the interstellar.

Therefore, they are very enthusiastic about helping various indigenous civilizations.Aboriginal only, of course.

The life and death of the interstellar civilization has nothing to do with him.

At the same time, because they are extremely aggressive in interstellar communication, any interstellar civilization with an indigenous civilization in the country will be scolded dozens of times by them, so almost all civilizations have a bad relationship with them, and a war is short of a war to solve the problem of values. up.

The Fire Alliance is still trying to use their weak influence to attract the attention of other civilizations, but the scientific research spacecraft controlled by the "Guardian" has quietly arrived in the Botu galaxy, and is gradually approaching a planet with life.
