Chapter 41: Civilization Accelerator

The research ship approached the indigenous planet in the Botu system, but remained invisible.

If it is not necessary, Li Wenyuan does not really want to cause a commotion among these aborigines, because he has already seen the artificial satellite revolving around the planet.

This shows that the civilization here has at least entered the information age, and it is still possible to find it if you are in direct proximity.

But drones do not have this problem, and drones that are also equipped with the "all-sight stealth" system are basically impossible to detect here.

Moreover, they can be like fish in water in the violent atmosphere of gas giants, which is naturally a piece of cake for the environment of such an ordinary planet.

So a large number of drones entered the planet from all directions and began to scan for the existence of human relics.

These invisible drones flew over the city in the open, uploading the data below to the scientific spacecraft bit by bit.

It doesn't seem like anyone is aware of this, but there are people on this planet who are more special......

A high school student breaks away from his peers and laments how tiring it is to talk to ordinary people.

His name is Digg, a self-proclaimed "Chosen One".

Ever since he woke up from his bed one day and found that he seemed to have a "system", he felt that he must be a natural protagonist.

He returned home as usual, and there was no one in the empty house except him.

And as soon as he entered the door, he silently said in his heart: "System, what is today's task." ”

In the past, the "system" would quickly tell him about it every time he asked, but this time, the system did not respond to him.

This made Digg frown, and kept calling out the name of the system.

After a long time, the system's reply was belated:

[Main quest has changed: Find a way to survive before the arrival of the "Star Eater"]

[Countdown to the end of the world: 60 days]

This suddenness stunned Digg, and then began to shout in his heart: "System! System! What's going on! Didn't you ask me to pretend to be forced in front of my classmates yesterday? How can it suddenly become the end of the world today! ”

He is extremely frightened right now, and this system will give him all kinds of magical rewards every time he completes a mission, making him different from ordinary people.

That's why he feels like the "chosen one", and he trusts the system so much.

But it seems that all of a sudden, just as the news of Proxima Centauri is going out spreads widely, everything has changed.

"'Star Eater'...... This kind of name, could it be that my whim-of-the-moment idea is actually true?! ”

Digg remembered what he said when he was bragging to his classmates: "I think ...... It's a kind of 'creature' that eats the stars. ”

"Has the fantasy come true...... No, I have to find a solution! ”

His mind took a turn and he began to search the Internet for clues to the end of the world.

He didn't feel like the system was scaring him.

And just like that, days passed.

He didn't come to class for a few days, but the teachers didn't show anything out of the ordinary, because as a genius in the school, he basically only saw him in exams.

Digger, on the other hand, walked out of the room with bloodshot eyes, and looked as if he hadn't slept for days.

"Stareater...... The end of the world......" He stared at the distant starry sky, as if he could see a large luminous object gradually approaching here.

"The system just wanted me to find a way to survive, and it didn't ask me to save the world...... Is it because this crisis is beyond my control? ”

He felt a sense of despair, feeling that his "chosen one" could be so powerless.

"That's not right! There will definitely be a solution! He cheered himself up, and his gaze at the sky became resolute again.

It was also at this moment that his eyes, which had been strengthened by the "system", saw a large number of UFOs in the high places flashing.

"Those are ......" Digg felt a sense of surprise in his heart, he could clearly see those black UFOs passing through the sky, but passers-by didn't seem to react, as if they couldn't see these things.

—is it a sign before the end of the world? I'll have to go along and take a look! ”

And so, a chase began.

Of course, Li Wenyuan in space will not notice that there is a "native" chasing those invisible drones, and he is now gathering the drone swarm because he has found the remains of humans here.

【Experimental Civilization Accelerator】

[Introduction: This large-scale complex is equipped with a large number of modules with different functions, as well as a certain degree of artificial intelligence.] It is able to scan the status of species on the planet and analyze social formations to advance civilization at the right time. According to our analysis, this facility is still in the experimental stage, but it can also provide us with a completely new technological idea.

[New technologies have been added to the Tech Tree]

Li Wenyuan was indeed amazed by this huge facility hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, although it looked extremely dilapidated, its strange functions were still functioning normally.

The scans revealed that the complex contained a small database, a synthesis station, a low-level artificial intelligence, a global scanning device, and a micro-drone to transport materials from the synthesis station.

The database here stores a wide range of technologies from the primitive age to the early interstellar age.

The Crafting Station, on the other hand, is capable of synthesizing many substances that are useful to indigenous civilizations, but have long been obsolete in the interstellar world.

Includes a variety of flesh enhancements, technical blueprints, and old-fashioned weapons......

Its scanning equipment is also able to listen to the situation in the universe and communicate information with the species here.

Overall, this is a complex that can quickly improve the indigenous civilization here.

And Li Wenyuan also thought of something, and immediately cracked the Internet here and began to flip through their history.

Sure enough, he found that the times here were progressing rapidly, and every once in a while there would be a variety of talented people, including various scientists, leaders, and progressives...... All of them are transformative figures across generations.

Scientific theories that transcend their time, advanced inventions that increase productivity, wars that change the fate of history, historical events that affect the development of the times, and leaders who are absolutely wise and never make mistakes...... Abound in their past.

Throughout their history, it can be said that this civilization as a whole has always progressed rapidly, and there has never been a time of regression.

So much so that it took them less than two thousand years to develop from the primitive tribal era to the current information age, which can be said to be a flying speed of progress.

This is undoubtedly very abnormal, and Li Wenyuan also understands that all this must be because of the "civilization accelerator" in front of him.

"So, this thing is 'hanging' for the people here?" Li Wenyuan looked at the history of this civilization with great interest.

I found that in the various big countries here, there have basically been all kinds of "open-hanging" characters in history, and there are even many novels created against the background of those "open-hangers" who are traveled back by modern people.

"It's funny, so why would humans leave such a relic here? Is it for experimentation? After a moment's thought, he called up the new technology in the tech tree.

【Theory of Automation Civilization Promotion】

[Technology Level: 5]

[Introduction: Extraneous influence on indigenous civilizations is a powerful way to improve, and how to subtly and efficiently elevate them to the interstellar age has also become a difficult problem.] Maybe we can try to build a fully automated complex to achieve our goals. This galaxy is too empty, let's make this place more lively]

[Possible Technology: General Civilization Accelerator (9.9%)]

“…… Empty? Seeing this word, Li Wenyuan remembered those interstellar civilizations that were watching the excitement here.

He couldn't do all kinds of information flying around the galaxy without intercepting it, and of course he knew why these civilizations were so lively.

The Sentinel Array provided extensive surveillance, and he had also spotted a Star Eater heading here.

"Well, compared to the total galaxy size of the Milky Way, the existing interstellar civilization is indeed a little less."

"But since they want to see the Star Eater destroyed, then satisfy them. Destroy this creature cleanly, and my disguise as a lost empire can be more realistic. ”

“…… So can the indigenous civilization here realize that this starry sky is actually very lively? ”
