Chapter Twenty-Three: Ten Years Out of the Mountain
Ten years is an incomparably short time on the scale of the universe, and it is only a blink of an eye for civilization.
No one could have imagined that in this decade of white horses, a terrifying "civilization" is being born in a small galaxy on the edge of the galaxy.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Judging from the current damage, to explore this ruin, you need at least 20 'cannon fodder'."
"Why are there so many? While the guardian doesn't limit our use, we can't squander his resources. That number had to be brought down to single digits. β
"In that case, you can only spell it...... Do you still have the kind of psychotropic medicine you got last time? β
"Those things are samples developed by the guardians, and I asked him for them with my face on my face, and those are the only two."
"It's a shame, I'd like to experience that superhuman feeling again...... Forget it, do you want to bet? I will enter the depths of the ruins before you, and the loss will be smaller than yours! β
"Huh! The young man wants to compare himself to me, an old man? I still have to weigh one or two in normal times, but after the consciousness is synchronized to the synth, it is still unknown who is better!! β
At the gate of a ruin, two aliens are laughing and making a bet.
They are Cooper and the professor who have lived here for almost 10 years, and they have indeed excavated quite a few ruins in the past ten years, but they only account for 15% of the planet.
Even so, this 15% has brought many unimaginable benefits to Li Wenyuan.
Today is the day they launched the "O12 Regional Ruins Excavation Project", which has been a part of their lives for 10 years.
From being cautious at the beginning, to gradually letting go, and then to indulging in it.
They gradually became more and more happy and wanted to come here sooner.
"Then we're ready to start, and after the ten-second countdown, we'll go in together." Cooper was the first to put a helmet-like device on his head, a sense of impatience in his eyes.
The professor didn't say much and put on the same device.
Just a few seconds later, two synths not far away suddenly raised their heads. In the righteous eyes that should be godless, there is a human light.
This is the "consciousness synchronizer" developed by Li Wenyuan for them, which can synchronize the consciousness signals of the organism to the synthesized human, so that the organism can control the synthesizer almost perfectly.
These alien archaeologists tried it out and fell in love with it, and the power of "becoming" a synth instantly hooked on it.
On top of that, exploring these dangerous ruins after becoming a synth also gives them a huge sense of excitement.
They can now experience all kinds of strange phenomena and dangers that they can only see in movies and novels.
Overcoming difficulties and discovering hidden truths and treasures are also the spices of the spirit.
The old professor had also explored a lot of alien ruins, but now he only felt that he was wasting time in the first half of his life, and he wished to come here sooner.
The ruins he had carefully controlled by drone were now pediatric and boring, and it was better to go on a thrilling first-person adventure here after "incarnating" a synth.
The two synths, who had completed the synchronization of alien consciousness, glanced at each other, then took a step and disappeared into the ruins.
At this time, on the other side of the earth, in the huge "guardianship core", Li Wenyuan was thinking about something.
In front of his eyes is a neatly arranged string of data, which is the result of his business in the past ten years.
[Planetary facility repair completed: A91~A95 regional fourth-level singularity; C2~C6 regional dimension manufacturing machine; R1 Regional Robot Assembly Plant; R10 Regional Research Centre; R25 Regional Planetary Auxiliary Control Center ......γ
[Space Facility Restoration Completed: Optimus Space Station; wide-area signal blocking station; Tachyon Suppressorγ
[Unmanned fleet size: Celestial Curtain Battleship Γ1, Titan Battleship Γ1, Battlecruiser Γ25, Battleship Γ10; Frigate Γ200]
[Guardianship matrix completion completed: 45%]
β¦β¦
In addition to these figures, there are some results that have not been shown.
For example, science and technology, Li Wenyuan has studied almost all level 5 technologies, and a small number of level 6 technologies have also been successfully researched.
ββ¦β¦ It's almost stuck in a bottleneck. Most of the research on Level 6 technology can start in a dozen years, not to mention those more advanced technologies that require hundreds or even thousands of years...... Is it because the computing power of the scientific research division is no longer enough? β
Looking at the scientific research divisions that were already in full operation, he was a little helpless.
The research difficulty of these technologies has increased exponentially, and at first the scientific research zoning could easily cope with it, but now it is a bit out of step with the times.
"We have to find ways to improve our scientific research capabilities...... Do you want to go to other planets to build more research districts, or do you want to build giant planet-scale research buildings? β
ββ¦β¦ But in any case, you have to go to the stars again. The solar system can't be too crowded as a home, and there's no way to build everything here. We have to go to other galaxies to develop ......"
"So, am I qualified to stand on the interstellar stage now?"
Li Wenyuan's eyes flickered and he looked at the distant starry sky.
There, a fleet floats neatly in the void.
Ten years of his production capacity has been spent on building this fleet, and he has never felt safe, and he desperately needs this space defense force to eliminate possible invaders.
After repairing the "Supersky Space Station" that had crashed into the star, he found the construction blueprints of many warships.
From frigates that are less than a kilometer long to Titan warships that are nearly a hundred kilometers long, there is everything on it.
And he also referred to the drawings and built his first space fleet.
ββ¦β¦ Let's go to Crebo and take a look, this time it should be able to make an accurate assessment of the current strength of interstellar civilization. If it's within an acceptable range, then it can be expanded, otherwise many things won't be possible in the solar system......"
With his thoughts, a group of synths from the space station stepped into a research ship.
He wasn't going to buy a lot of things, so a fully functional research ship would be the best choice for exploring the universe.
Several frigates broke away from the fleet and flew to the edge of the galaxy with the scientific research ship on board.
Outside of the Sun's gravity wells, they activate their hyperspace engines and head towards the Crebo trading enclave they have visited once.
And Lilian, who was in the midst of her daily prayers, seemed to sense something and raised her head.
Her human face has not changed much in ten years, which once made Li Wenyuan very stunned.
After Li Wenyuan took a hair from her for testing, he found that her cells were aging at an extremely long rate and the regeneration rate was quite terrifying, which caused her to have no obvious changes in appearance for at least 500 years.
After some inquiry, I learned that Lilian's race was born like this, and there were even people in her race who had lived for more than two thousand years.
Since then, Li Wenyuan has become more and more curious about her race and wants to go to her home planet to find out.
"I hope I can learn useful information from this outing, otherwise people will be bored and stupid if they stay on Earth all the time......"
