Chapter 18: Here comes a big guy!
“…… Does it exist as a beacon? This idea popped up in Li Wenyuan's mind.
The ruins in front of me are so special that there is nothing inside, as if it were just a large landmark.
"If you think about it that way, it seems like a good fit to exist as a beacon. With such a large surface area, there must be a lot of signal that can be received......"
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible, and at the same time, the group of aliens was once again discussed.
“…… Resurrecting the dead may sound like a fantasy, but it may not be impossible with the technology of that lost civilization. ”
"If that's the case, then there should be some activation method in this ruin that we don't know about, and we may be able to resurrect the fat man."
"That being said, we are assuming that the two ruins are from the same civilization, what if they are actually from different civilizations? In this case, all previous conclusions can be overturned. ”
The closing words fell silent to everyone present, and after a moment did Cooper speak:
“…… I actually have a hunch that these two ruins are from the same civilization. ”
"Hunch? Can this illusion, which has long been falsified, still come out of your mouth? We need a more scientific basis, not an idealistic 'feeling'. The young man habitually mocked Cowper.
But when it fell into Li Wenyuan's ears, it gave him new inspiration.
"Idealism? Speaking of which, I remember that there were a bunch of broken facilities on this planet that needed to be repaired by 'Zelo...... Isn't this something that only civilized people use? ”
"Could it be that humanity has finally embarked on the path of idealism?"
Li Wenyuan thought about it and put a question mark for the time being.
He had heard that Idealists hated "artificial intelligence" and thought it was defiling the divine "consciousness".
And what about his own "guardianship matrix" artificial intelligence?
He had put the idea he couldn't figure out in his notepad for the time being, and now he decided to use Zelo to try it out in this ruin, maybe it would trigger something.
As a result, 95% of the canned Zelo that was kept in the storage warehouse was brought over by the synths on his orders, and only a little bit of it was used to repair the "dimensional machine" remained.
The synth with Zelo was flying towards the inverted pyramid at dozens of times the speed of sound, and even if it needed to circle the earth half a circle, it didn't take long to reach the top of the inverted pyramid.
Li Wenyuan first released a little Zelo on the huge plane at the top of the inverted pyramid, but this purple gas quickly drifted into the sky and disappeared without a trace, failing to make a new discovery.
Immediately afterward, he released Zelo around the inverted pyramid, and the result was the same, nothing happened.
Finally, he led Zelo into the interior of the inverted pyramid and slowly opened the container.
Purple misty gas gradually rose upward, and soon touched the weathered limestone walls.
Then, a magical scene happened.
Zelo gas poured into the limestone like water meets a sponge.
The amount of a can even escaped and disappeared before Li Wenyuan could react, leaving only an empty shell.
In the next moment, the weathered rock seemed to be infused with life, emitting a faint purple glow, and quickly spread throughout the rock wall through the connected gaps, soon turning the inside of the inverted pyramid into a luminous body.
Such an astonishing scene not only shocked Li Wenyuan, but also alarmed the aliens.
"What's going on? Did anyone touch a switch? ”
I saw that the purple light instantly illuminated the space in the depths of the ruins, and strange lines slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes under the light.
The intricate network forms a vast star map, with hundreds of millions of points of light representing galaxies scattered all over it, some of which are particularly shiny, as if to indicate what is in the place.
"It's ...... This star map of the Milky Way? Cooper looked at the stereoscopic figure in disbelief, struck by how detailed it was.
And Li Wenyuan's pupils also shrank sharply, and he quickly entered the star map into the database.
At the same time, the top plane of the inverted pyramid slowly opens.
The ruins, which everyone didn't know how to open, were working again.
Sunlight shone into the ruins through the opening, but the stellar points of light quickly dissipated one by one as if they had been confirmed, and finally only an inconspicuous small point of light remained, still faintly shining.
Inexplicably, Li Wenyuan felt that this point of light represented the solar system.
The aliens were also speculating wildly at this moment.
"This relic seems to have been activated! What will happen? ”
"Maybe we should find a safer place to stay, I didn't see those black fogs!"
There seemed to be a desire to leave the ruins, but the old professor shouted:
"I'm not going to leave here!" At this time, his eyes were red, and even if he looked directly at the sun, he had to see the sky.
"I've been studying alien ruins for half a lifetime, and this is the first time I've seen a site that has been successfully activated, and whatever the consequences may be, I must see it for myself. Even if it costs with this life! "For the first time, the old professor showed his madness for the ruins.
Cooper didn't move either, his instincts telling him he couldn't miss the moment.
The virtual world where Li Wenyuan is located also appeared a large number of notices at this time.
[Announcement from the automatic defense system]
[Strong subspace fluctuations detected]
[Announcement from the Deep Space Monitoring Station]
[Strong subspace fluctuations detected]
……
The number is extremely large, but all of them are "strong subspace fluctuations detected".
And surprisingly, none of the subsystems emitted "alerts", all of them were "notifications", as if they were already familiar with this subspace fluctuation.
The next second, the first second was still a sunny day, and the next second it was night.
The inky sky was as thick as ink, and there was no light in it, like a giant beast devouring all the stars, plunging the earth into a never-ending night.
“…… Why did the sky suddenly turn dark? Isn't the effect of this relic to resurrect the dead, but to change the planet day and night? ”
Someone in the ruins asked, and the only light at this time was the glowing inner walls and the small star system on the nearly vanished star map.
“…… No," Cooper said suddenly, with an indescribable shock in his eyes.
"It's not dark...... It's that 'something' has come here and obscured the whole sky......"
……
[This is the subspace mobile fleet combat AI]
[It has been reconnected with the guardianship matrix, and now the control is handed over to the guardianship matrix]
……
[Mobile Combat Module Launched]
[Guardianship matrix completion completed: 35%]
[More guardianship permissions have been opened]
Li Wenyuan looked at the ridiculously large "ship" model in the database in a daze, and he didn't think that it could "maneuver" to be related.
