Chapter 245: "Beacon"

The beacon is the inheritance and warning left by the previous generation of Proxian civilization to the future.

You must know that the demise of an entire civilization did not happen in an instant - from the invasion of the Reapers to the complete destruction of the Prothean Empire, the Prothean people resisted for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, the Prothean people made countless "other preparations" in addition to war!

These "other preparations" were meant to be a follow-up to prevent the Prothean civilization from being exterminated once it was truly extinct.

For example, build a large number of dormant pods to try to save some of your precious people and wait until the Reapers are gone to rebuild the Proxian Empire! It's a pity that if they have watched the TV series filmed by Lu Yuan, they should know that they are not the first civilization to think and do so. But all attempts to do so in reincarnation have failed, as the Reaper will use the guò "indoctrination" ability to rebel against the traitors of civilization, and then know where they are hiding.

In Ai Ziyou's memories, there were also civilizations that succeeded - they successfully evaded the detection and rebellion of the reapers, and really hid some of their clansmen.

Unfortunately, the logic of the AI is exceptionally tight. They say that if you kill all the races that have entered the Galactic Age in the entire cycle, then you will definitely kill them all! So when those people woke up from their slumber, they were quickly known to the Reapers—and then the Reapers returned from the Dark Universe ahead of time and killed them completely!

By the end of the Empire, the Prothean knew they were powerless. But slaughtered, harvested...... Hundreds of years of hatred and anger have accumulated to make them want to take revenge on the Reapers! For this, they will not hesitate to pay a price!

In addition to continuing the work of the Proxian Empire, they will also devote their energy to "maturing" the indigenous civilizations that have not yet stepped into the galaxy and are not among the harvested, hoping that these civilizations can avenge the Proxian Empire! These include Asari, Reli, Serarui, ...... There were even human beings, and the Prothean Observatory, which was discovered by humans on Mars, was one of the working bases at that time.

The Prothean people have engraved their incomparably precious knowledge and technology on the recording material without reservation, trying to pass it on to the next generation! This includes "beacons". Because of the different materials and principles that make up the "beacon", this special information storage device can store the information to be stored for 50,000 years! It contains not only warning information about the Reaper invasion, but also a lot of information about Protsen's technology and culture.

The "beacon" that Lu Yuan obtained from the pirate base at the beginning stored a large number of Prosian's technologies about planetary transformation, and the results were very amazing! Without reading this information, it is hard for mankind to believe that the planet Eden is not a naturally formed garden planet! ――100,000 years ago, there were ammonia seas and volcanoes everywhere! It was the Protheans who transformed this place into a livable world!

Regardless of the very few "beacons" found today, in fact there are only two - one in the temple of Asari and the other on the Mothership of Dawn - but this thing was once stuck all over the galaxy!

It's just that there are too few "beacons" that can be preserved in their entirety and can be parsed. Because the Prothean people thought of everything, they just didn't expect the next generation of civilization to develop so poorly......

At the beginning, among the indigenous civilizations led by the Prosians, the Protheans were most optimistic about the prospects of the Asari - think about it, with a lifespan of thousands of years, born with abilities...... It's really full of the aura of the protagonist!

Therefore, the Prothean prefers to leave an open "beacon" for the Asari on the home planet of the Asari, which is specially designed to guide the evolution of the Asari race.

Sadly, they hoped that the Asari would surpass them (for Prosian had proven to be a failure), but the Asari worshipped their guidance as if they were gods! These women are obsessed with excavating the ruins of Prothean throughout the galaxy, studying their social, economic, and cultural "useless" things! and also beautify according to their own ideas - such as the "hegemony" of the Proxian Empire, which was beautified into "fraternity" by Asari; Protheus casually elevates the development process of various civilizations, and is glorified by Asari as "helping civilization develop......

If the Krogan men had learned of this truth, they would have uttered the forbidden word "woman!" (Woman)”

After fooling the galaxy for thousands of years, the Asari have fooled themselves to a lame......

Prosian's roadmap for Asari should be as follows: Rely on Prosian technology to set foot in the universe - discover the Repeater - discover the Citadel - dominate the galaxy - build a powerful empire! - Integrate the power of the galaxy - Defeat the Reaper!

As a result, the development of the Asari themselves is as follows: Stepping into the universe with Prothean technology - discovering the repeater - discovering the Citadel - establishing a council (mer) - The Serarians joining the council (mer) - The Reykena War, the Krogan rebellion, and the turian joining the council as a third race (mer) - World peace (tears) ......

It's peace!

Asari has only developed into a weakened and abridged version of the Proxian civilization, not to mention, she is also a pacifist! Not only did he not engage in hegemony, but he also took the initiative to advocate the establishment of the Citadel Council - the guide is about to be harvested in 50,000 years, and the galaxy is still torn apart! The Star Domain occupied by the Citadel Council is only one-third of the Light Star Field......

If the Proxian knew about it, he would be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood! Jump out of the grave and die again!

*****

We won't continue to complain about Asari, you all know, not all women are Wu Meiniang...... This pit dug by the Prothean has pitted itself from the very beginning! If it weren't for the domineering Sister Xue who finally got a qiē, the Proxian would definitely die......

Although Eden has a population of millions of immigrants, before Lu Yuan set up the arsenal, which is an agricultural planet, nothing major has happened for decades. Now, the excavation of a Proxian relic aroused great interest in the colonies - reflected in reality, it was a 24-hour rolling broadcast of the news.

The news said it too carefully - Lu Yuan squatted in front of the TV with a remote control, and within an hour he knew the situation inside and outside the entire ruins clearly. In other words, these archaeological experts have no sense of secrecy at all......

Lu Yuan originally settled on Eden in order to find the beacon that appeared in the news. Unexpectedly, this beacon was not found, but by mistake, it was discovered by the Quarians from the Phoenix Cluster Star Field, and it was regarded as a beacon for ordinary Prosian items.

Now the main content of the news is the discovery of this heavy dà, apparently those human archaeologists also regard the "beacon" as an ordinary Proxian relic, casually mixed with the excavated things.

But the Asari definitely know the value of this thing! As soon as the news footage was seen by an Asari executive who had seen the beacon, they reacted immediately...... At that time, Lu Yuan may not have much chance to contact this beacon again.

"Did I tell you? The matter of the eldest son of the old Tang family...... He's chasing a new garrison non-commissioned officer...... Ha, I have to say, that is so spicy! But I feel that the eldest son of the old Tang family is going to be unlucky this time, that woman doesn't look very easy-going, in fact, she is a very arrogant person in her bones, I dare to say that she doesn't look down on everyone on Eden! She definitely doesn't look down on Donald either......" John babbled behind the bar, "Old Lu, what do you think?" ”

The bar was silent, and there was no sound except for the sound of the news.

"Lao Lu...... Lu Yuan? John shouted twice, and he strangely leaned out of the bar and looked over to where Landing was sitting.

The TV was still on, the remote control was placed on the seat, and there was still half a glass of wine left to drink, but Lu Yuan ...... I don't know when I'm leaving.

*****

Late at night, in the southwest of the colonial ghetto, in the excavation pit dozens of kilometers wide......

The surrounding interview cars have left, and after the day's work, both archaeologists and excavation engineers need to take a good rest. It's about patience, not speed, it's about digging ruins - after all, it's been buried in the ground for 50,000 years, and it's not going to run away on its own, right?

It is still a container-style house in the colony, and the living area is arranged in the shape of the word "Hui". Most of the people were dining in the West End, and a small party was being held there – and after the news hit, the archaeological group got a new patron. The funds they had been scarfing for a long time had finally become abundant.

Lu Yuan's body was hidden in the shadow of the container, close enough but no one noticed. As he wears a combat uniform that changes color from the environment, he almost blends in with the shadows.

"Everything is stacked in the East Fourth District? …… The news is really handy. Lu Yuan put down his armor, like a drop of ink melted into the night, and quietly disappeared in place. Infiltrating such a camp was too simple for him Lu Yuan......

Milky Way Deep Space.

A huge, blue-black bug-type battleship is speeding in the direction of the "Voyager System"! In front of the hull are five huge sharp claws, shining with a dark metallic sheen in the deep black universe! The entire battleship is two kilometers long, with biological arcs and metal structures on its sides...... It is the Reaper that has destroyed countless civilizations, the "Overlord"!

Behind it was an endless stretch of small geth troop carriers, thousands of geth synths hugging their knees like humans, curling their bodies down to their smallest and neatly arranged in the cabin. These geth were the ones that splintered from the geth, and they turned their allegiance to Saren and the Reaper.

Salen, the ghost of the Citadel, the genius of the Turks, and now the betrayer of the galaxy, is standing alone behind a porthole, looking out into the depths of the distant sky, the galaxy that is getting closer and closer.

On a screen beside him, the news of Eden Star was scrolling, and the "beacon" was clearly marked! R1152
