Indestructible mystical amethyst, driven by magnetic eddy current gravity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the first time Xinglan has heard such an evaluation in billions of years, and many civilizations may be proud of their race, but they really dare to claim to be at the pinnacle of this universe so confidently...... You must know that not everyone dares to boast of such a sea mouth.

However, if it is the two existences mentioned by the imitation body three, Xinglan can't help but believe its statement, if the civilization that made the starry sky gateway really left thousands of similar starry sky transit stations in the universe, each of which is no less large than the cosmic spiral belt that Xinglan has seen now, then they may really be fully qualified to call themselves like this, not to mention that there is also a scale that obviously distorts the laws of the universe...... According to Replica No. 3, the sculpture on the sea of starry flowers is not a real scale itself at all.

Judging from the appearance of those two standing figures, at least the life form of this civilization should be a carbon-based life form similar to that of Lan Xing's life, and considering the stark shape of this cosmic spiral composed of hundreds of planets, Xing Lan even dared to venture to guess that this civilization was also a creature with DNA double helix as its genetic material.

Judging from the vast cosmic double helix and the vast sea of starry flowers, this must be an artistically adept and emotionally rich race, who seem to be very fond of displaying the characteristics of their own lives, and even willing to open up these massive structures called Star Gateways for other civilizations to travel long distances between galaxies...... It's normal for a high-level civilization to build and use these facilities on its own, but it's rare to be willing to host all guests from afar.

Xinglan didn't think that there was only such a dreamy and beautiful place as the Star Furry Flower Sea in the huge cosmic double helix belt of Starry Sky Gateway 8051, and the 10th ship of the Interstellar Exploration Formation was still orbiting the planet called Starry Sky Gateway 8051-450#. It was also a planet with a very unique shape, with three huge rings and two extremely bright light sources that were impressive and unforgettable.

It's not so much a stopover for interstellar travel as it is a spectacular tourist destination, full of high-tech aesthetics that don't hinder or even facilitate the functionalities of the facilities. On top of that, such a magical place turned out to be just a ruined place that had been abandoned for tens of thousands of years...... The power of this civilization is staggering.

As for the other, the so-called ubiquitous observer, it is completely hidden behind a veil of mystery. Whoever knows that their every move has been watched by an existence that they don't know at all will feel a chill, not to mention that in the words relayed by Replica Three, the most terrifying thing for Xinglan is not Lan Xing or the earth, but about Yu Chen and Source Spore. If the other party was silently observing everything when Xinglan and Yuchen were communicating, then even Yuchen, a fellow who mastered much higher technology than Xinglan and also had a stronger ability to mobilize energy, couldn't have discovered the existence of the other party?

However, this is not necessarily the case, in fact there are several possibilities for this scenario. The worst case scenario is that the other party is indeed very hidden, so that even Yuchen can't find out about the existence of that observer, but there is also a possibility that Yuchen did know that the other party was watching from the side, but out of some tacit understanding, he didn't reveal any information to Xinglan...... If you even make a bolder guess, it is very likely that the information about the source spores was leaked by Yuchen to the other party!

"You've been watching me all along, and even now you must be watching us......" Xinglan carefully observed every move in the surrounding space, she was sure that the fan-like being must be listening to her words at this time, "You were the one who shot to freeze this space and stabilize the chaos before, right?" What the hell do you want me to do? ”

The core sphere of Replica No. 3 spun rapidly in the transparent liquid, but it didn't stop Xinglan from continuing to ask, it seemed that it was also a little curious whether the unknown being would respond directly to Xinglan's words, but soon it seemed to receive something and stopped this silence: "The one who asked me to pass on the message to you just now, she doesn't need you to do anything, just give you the Eternal Realm and a part of the flow crystals, do you want to bring Lan Xing back and what to do with them, It's entirely up to you. ”

“…… Still won't talk to me directly? This kind of thing is completely inexplicable, why do you have to pass the word? Sighing a little disappointed, Xinglan felt that her heart was starting to become a little irritable, "Don't you think this kind of thing is really strange?" ”

"Logical architecture can explain your negativity." Replica No. 3 controlled a part of the transparent medium liquid to extend to the ground, stretching like a tentacle to hold up the purple flow crystals that fell into the pit on the ground, and it seemed that it was completely unaffected by the abnormal kinetic energy state of the flow crystals, "Even if there is no soulless intuitive feeling, but I understand your thoughts, but I can't violate the instructions." ”

"yes, you're just a machine without a soul...... No matter how smart you are, you're still a mechanical ......," Xinglan watched with some complexity as the obsidian-like sphere of Replica III floated and directed the transformation of the transparent medium, "In this abandoned double helix planetary belt, there are no real living creatures other than me and that mysterious guy." ”

“…… No, there is. Xing Lan was taken aback by the words of the replica number three, and it gently held up the dozens of flow crystals with the limbs condensed by the transparent medium liquid, as if admiring these amethyst-like beautiful creations, "When this place was abandoned, some of the source spores were forgotten here, because their number is not very large, so they are not remembered again, and no one knows where the evolutionary limit of the source spores is, they can always bring indescribable miracles." These flow crystals ...... They have souls and are truly alive, and they even have a lot of wisdom to learn. ”

"It's you!" Xinglan suddenly realized something, she watched in surprise at the movements of the replica three, the other party didn't look like a machine that relied on a program at this time, "You taught these flow crystals to use those hyperspace teleportation devices to jump between the starry sky gateways, right?" You've been teaching this...... Intelligent beings? ”

However, to Xinglan's surprise, the replica No. 3 denied the latter point: "No, they are not intelligent beings that can develop civilization, all I have done is implant the use of this hyperspace beacon into their instincts, these beings are a perfect masterpiece...... If the creator knew about their existence, the eyes of the main fleet would probably be here again, but unfortunately, I have no way to contact the main fleet, unless the star gateway is in a devastating emergency crisis......"

Xinglan's curiosity grew stronger, and she couldn't help but extend some of the signal pros towards these beautiful purple crystals, but she was shocked the moment she scanned the crystal shells...... She had always thought that the crystals were this brilliant purple color, but now she realized that they were actually the colors beneath the transparent shell.

"It can't be!" She stared at Replica Three, and slowly uttered the secret that would have shocked any civilized race, "These streams, their shell compositions are actually ...... Degenerate substances? ”

Degenerate matter is a special structure that can only be formed under extremely high pressure, which is a strange thing that only exists when every particle is squeezed into a high-energy state...... If some people may not understand this, then take a very simple example: the material structure that makes up neutron stars is degenerate matter.

Of course, not all degenerate matter is as frighteningly dense as neutron star matter, but the degenerate matter in front of us ...... Very similar to neutron star matter, at least in density.

Why does the flow crystal have such an incredibly large impact kinetic energy? If you know that it doesn't move very fast, then it can only be because its mass is so large, the density of the shell in the degenerate state is terrifying, and the hardness is almost indestructible...... This also explains why the flow crystals do not have the power to shatter their bones in an instant.

Obviously, this can't be the kind of degenerate matter on the neutron star, once those substances leave the huge gravitational environment of the neutron star, they will immediately expand and return to their normal material form, but these substances on the surface of the flow crystal can continue to maintain this high-density condensation state without any external force, to be honest, this strange material structure has far exceeded Xinglan's previous understanding of physics, and she can't explain this with existing knowledge at all.

"Incredible, isn't it?" Replica Three seemed to sigh for a long time, "The # at the end of the Star Gateway number indicates that it is abandoned, but even the creator did not expect that such a magical life would be born in this forgotten place...... The degenerate shell is capable of absorbing thin interstellar gases on its own, while utilizing every faint trace of radiant energy. They do not need to change the gravitational environment of the unexpected world, the internal organization under the shell is completely a liquid magnetic solvent flow that rotates regularly, and the liquid thinking core containing a large amount of heavy metal components can withstand the instantaneous impact of falling directly from space to the earth, and at the same time can produce the effect of a gravity engine...... It uses radioactive functional tissues to drive itself to move with the help of the planet's gravitational field. ”

"These liquid brains of magnetic solvent streams can even be directly influenced by external magnetic fields, allowing them to program their knowledge stores directly as they would robots." Xinglan, who had completely infiltrated the signal particles into the degenerate shell of the flow crystal, soon discovered the truth of everything, and she didn't know whether to say yes or no, "You didn't teach them slowly at all, but directly used the magnetic field to forcibly instill this method of operation in them like transmitting data. ”

"But that doesn't affect their thinking, does it?" The tone of the replica III seemed to completely return to the faint indifference at the beginning, "They are not like me, the individuals who evolved from the source spores and have souls do not place their core memories on the regular material level, they can think abstractly in an infinite quantum state, and the knowledge I instilled will only be organized as a part of the memory in the true sense if they are actively willing to admit it, it is their own choice." ”

All memories are just indoctrination programs, all emotions are just false illusions, is this the sorrow without a soul? Even though it seems to be able to think so naturally, that's not true self-consciousness after all...... Xinglan seemed to sense its unwillingness and envy of the flow crystal from the words of the replica three, but even this kind of unwillingness to her own situation was essentially just a simulated program.

"What is the so-called life......
