Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 90 Ancient Memory
The memory of the ancient "far traveler" left here has already made it very clear.

On this "immortal lighthouse" are individuals who have completed "synthetic evolution", but they are also excluded individuals.

Today's "far traveler" is someone who did not choose this path.

"... No wonder the current 'far traveler' is still using electronic implants. It seems that there is not much generation difference with the Milky Way. It turns out that there have been differences before..." Li Wenyuan was a little emotional.

Obviously, the ancient "far traveler" was not ready to abandon the physical body he had been using all along, and was even a little afraid or even disgusted by it.Their social philosophy has not kept pace with technological progress.

In the end, these individuals who embarked on the path of "synthetic evolution" became victims.

Judging from the number of thought networks and memories left in this dilapidated data repository, only millions of sparks were left in the massacre.

This number is too small for interstellar civilizations. Fortunately, they have completed "synthetic evolution", and it is not difficult to restore the population, it just takes time.

So Li Wenyuan continued to check the content of the memory while extracting these thought networks and memories.

He is going to reawaken these ancient "far travelers", the content of the memory is invisible to him, and he can feel the sense of mission and nobility of these "synthetic evolution" individuals.

They do want to keep going and not indulge in a life of luxury.As they said: "Even if it takes hundreds of millions of years, they still want to follow in the footsteps of the 'Apocalypse'."

At this moment, they found their remaining fire here, and Li Wenyuan happened to have a suitable mechanical body to help them recover. This may be God's will.

In the process of viewing these memories, Li Wenyuan also learned some stories from the ancient times.

For example, "Far Travelers", they may have been inspired by human beings when they were just born with wisdom.

When they came back to their senses, the planet was already highly developed. It took them a long time to adapt to this high-tech life, and then they explored the starry sky with curiosity.

They thought they were special, but it was a pity that there were many civilizations in the universe at that time under the intervention of human beings, and they were not the only ones.

Naturally, war and peace among civilizations was born.During this process, Li Wenyuan saw a somewhat familiar species.

"...Isn't that 'The Watcher'?"

That is indeed the main species of the "Watcher", but at that time they had not improved their bodies through various means, and they looked quite different from the current "Watcher".

Then "Farwalker" and "Watcher" had frictions and even wars because of various conceptual issues.

They have victories and losses for each other, but no one can do anything to each other. Perhaps Liang Zi was formed at that time.

At that time, they still had extremely powerful and advanced productivity, and the speed of building warships was also extraordinary, and there was even a situation where the two were deadlocked in a certain galaxy.

After comparing it with the ancient battlefield discovered before, Li Wenyuan confirmed that it is the same galaxy.

They got angry there, and the reason was very special. It was actually arguing who was the real successor of the "Apocalypse".

It was also after this great war that a group of people in the "Far Travelers" decided to take the path of "synthetic evolution", wanting to take civilization a step further, and severely hit the "Watchers" at that time.

After sorting out the contents of the memory, although Li Wenyuan had gained something, he still had more questions.

At this time, the extraction of these thinking networks and memory has been basically completed, and he is also preparing to leave here, and while starting to revive these "ancient traveler", he will go to other places to explore according to the contents of the memory.

Because he found that part of the content in the memory is very different from the current Milky Way. The most obvious point is that the current "far traveler" has already moved.

Their borders were not where they are now, and even their home planet is completely different.

The current "far traveler" home planet is an "ideal city" planet called "the source of knowledge", which can be said to be a complete artificial planet after transformation.

Its surface has been covered by steel, and there is no natural landscape at all.All spaces are utilized, and countless building clusters form perfect partitions under planned construction, each of which undertakes different functions.

Even though such an "ideal city" planet is very fascinating, but according to the records in the memory, the former "far traveler" had three ring worlds!
Even though one "Immortal Lighthouse" ring world has been completely destroyed, there are still two ring worlds named "Infinite Lighthouse" and "Immortal Lighthouse" respectively.

Why did they give up such a privileged environment and move the whole country to its current location?
After completing the extraction work, Li Wenyuan's scientific research spacecraft left here quickly. At the same time, scientific research spacecraft in other locations rushed to the "Infinite Lighthouse" ring world and the "Immortal Lighthouse" ring world according to the memory records.

The other civilization explorers who were still carefully testing this Broken Ring world also noticed the departure of the "Guardian" scientific research spacecraft, and then each showed indescribable expressions.

This situation is nothing more than two guesses: either the "Guardian" has found nothing here, or the "Guardian" has already gained something, and there is no need to stay here anymore.

These explorers glanced at each other, and then quickly moved towards the place where the "Guardian" stayed, wanting to see if they could find something too.

So while they were still fighting for the most favorable position, one of Li Wenyuan's scientific research spacecraft had already arrived at the "Immortal Beacon" ring world.

"...Sure enough, this place was also bombed."

As he expected, the ring world of the "Immortal Beacon" was also severely damaged. Li Wenyuan also felt that only this kind of complete destruction could allow the "far traveler" to relocate the whole country.

But the Ringworld was much more damaged than the Immortal Lighthouse.

When exploring the "Immortal Lighthouse", he could still see many large pieces of ring world fragments, but the "Immortal Lighthouse" ring world in front of him was even blown into small pieces.

Almost all the buildings on the surface have been razed, and it is difficult to recruit the remaining relics.

"Then 'Infinite Beacon' shouldn't be spared...the three ring worlds were bombed, and the whole family even had to move to another place to live...What happened to the 'far traveler'?"

In doubt, his spacecraft also began to scan the fragments of these ring worlds, hoping to find something.

Although it was completely destroyed here, after all, the area of ​​the ring world is too huge, after all, there are still traces of the past in some places.

He was lucky to find the remains of several robots in a collapsed cave, but they were different from the robots on the "Immortal Beacon" who had chosen "synthetic evolution".

These robots are more like the robot servants used by the current "far traveler", a simple robot that is not even an omnic.

They also seem to be carrying weapons, and judging by their posture, they should be fighting before stopping.

Li Wenyuan experimentally connected several robot ports, but found that they were completely damaged, and there was no record left.

In the end, only a little useful information was extracted from the remains of a relatively well-preserved robot.

It was a video record, and although the picture had been distorted for a long time, the content could still be discerned barely.

The background is probably on this ring world. The ring world at that time had not been severely damaged, and a large number of flickering lights could be vaguely seen in the background of the picture.

This long-term video has lost its audio, and Li Wenyuan can only guess that it was the light from the explosion.

In addition, you can also see a large number of warships flying over the ring world, as if they are rushing to a certain place.

The style of these battleships is almost the same as the current "far traveler" except for some differences in the details.

But they are not in the state of warship clusters like normal, but have a feeling of advancing one after another, as if they have just been produced from the dock and are heading to the front line.

Soon after, Li Wenyuan understood why.

At first, the warships could be seen flying into the distance on the screen, but gradually, scenes of them being destroyed halfway began to appear. It seemed that the front line of the war had already advanced to the ring world.

Later, the number of warships appearing in the screen became less and less, and even as soon as it appeared in the sky, it was completely destroyed by a beam of light from afar.

Until the end, the battleship could not even be seen, only the beams of light in the sky were still intertwining.

At this moment, the frontline of the war spread to the ring world, and the "far traveler" and an unknown enemy launched a fierce battle over the ring world.

But Li Wenyuan already knew the result in advance, and it must end in the failure of "Far Traveler" in the end, because the ring world has already exploded.

"...What could it be? Even 'Far Traveler' is no match at all?" Thinking about this matter, he suddenly remembered a piece of information he had unearthed on the earth ruins before.

[Numbered document N027: The first pressure resistance test]

【After countless simulations in the virtual world, we finally decided to trigger a controlled crisis in the real galaxy, to test whether the civilization formed under our cramming inspiration can resist the coming threat】

【…】

This numbered document once mentioned that human beings triggered an "artificial crisis" in order to test the resistance of the galactic civilization.

This crisis directly caused most of the advanced civilizations of human beings to fall back to the indigenous era, leaving only a few that still maintain the ability of interstellar navigation.

"...Could it be, in fact, the 'crisis' caused by humans that exploded the ring world?"

The more Li Wenyuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and at the same time he felt like he didn't know what to say.

He thinks that human beings are really "chaos". He raised a group of civilizations with his own hands, and then brought them back to their original form with his own hands.

The footage recorded by the robot wreckage was interrupted for a period of time, as if it was disturbed by something. When it resumed, the colorful sky could no longer be seen, and the only thing left here was the ground full of wolf smoke.

In the video screen, the bright light representing the explosion is constantly flickering, and at the same time, the frequency is getting higher and higher and brighter.

The recorded image also trembled countless times. Obviously, the shock generated by the explosion has spread here, which seems to represent an imminent threat.

Seeing this scene, Li Wenyuan knew that the records would probably come to an end. He only hoped that this robot would work harder to preserve the "threat" appearance.

According to his understanding of human beings, this "crisis" manually caused by human beings is definitely impossible to directly use human warships to achieve it, but most of them will be disguised according to the "threats" they have encountered before, creating a plausible "crisis" threaten".

It looks decent, but it is actually still under human control.

And with the help of video recordings, he will know what the so-called "threat" looks like, so he can pay attention in advance.

Soon, the vibration became more and more violent, and the robot seemed unable to maintain its balance. At the last moment, an explosion caused by something unknown blasted the robot into the sky.
While the picture was spinning around, Li Wenyuan finally caught a glimpse of a "threat" in a few frames.

It was something that might be considered a battleship, and he even thought it was a floating building at first glance.

There are not many of them, but they all present strange postures without exception.

At first glance, they look like a large number of blocky objects composed of pyramid structures. Although there is no air resistance in the universe, and warships can be built in any way they want, this special shape is still very eye-catching.

No weapons can be seen on their surfaces, but there are beams of light brewing in those cone-shaped structures, and it seems that they are the attacks from these places.

After the robot fell back to the ground, the scene ended, and the result after that was already obvious.

"...So that's it. Those things that look like thorn balls should be the specific individual appearance of the 'threat'. Even if they are not, it must have a lot to do with it..."

Li Wenyuan made a certain artistic treatment of the special spaceship image in the record, and then sent missions related to it to the entire galaxy.

The reward is still a small fleet of lost empires, which he believes will attract the enthusiasm of other civilizations.

After all, this thing seems to be able to bring a "threat" to the entire galaxy, and he needs to use the power of the galaxy.

It is not required that other civilizations can really find the "threat", but as long as there is a little clue, it can be of great use.

"...Then, is this what happened to the 'far traveler'? A lost empire that expelled some of its compatriots and retreated to its current position under the 'crisis'... Maybe they have almost forgotten this history. "

He felt that he had another in-depth understanding of the lost empire of "Farwalker".

"If that's the case, what happened to the other lost empires to become what they are now?"

Thinking like this, he looked at the Lost Empire in the star map, which happened to be in four opposing positions.

He now knows more about "Farstrider" and "Watcher", but almost nothing about "Watcher" and "Silencer".

Judging from this past history, they probably also had extraordinary experiences.

"...It's really a galaxy that has been in chaos since a long time ago..."
