Chapter 44: The Emerald Mausoleum

"Did you hear that? Recently, a nascent interstellar civilization calling itself Sechik has colonized the Holy Land! ”

"Holy Land? Where is the saint - you mean the one who 'watchmen'? ”

"Isn't it! I've heard that there's a movement at the border of the 'Watchmen', so maybe it's already done! ”

"Ouch, what a poor civilization......"

They said they were pitiful, but these discussants had no expression of pity at all, but gloated with a grim face.

For these old fritters who have been in the interstellar space for a long time, what they are most willing to watch is that various nascent interstellar civilizations violate the "taboo" of this galaxy, and then be beaten.

Of course, the galaxy is not all these fun people.

Similarly, many civilizations that have suffered losses have summarized these "taboos" and publicized them a lot in the galaxy, hoping to make these nascent interstellar civilizations take fewer detours.

But there will always be some unfortunate people in the world, or people who feel good about themselves, who will try to break these taboos.

Ssecik is one such civilization.

Due to the natural "intelligence" of their race, their civilization has progressed smoothly into space without much hindrance.

They even think that they are the first race to rush into the universe, which makes people wonder if their "intelligence" has been artificially modified into "pride".

All in all, with pride and curiosity, they have incorporated a "Holy Land" planet into their colonization.

And this "Holy Land" planet is known as the "Emerald Mausoleum" in the Milky Way.

"—'Emerald Mausoleum'?" Li Wenyuan, who was busy, stopped what he was doing, looked at the information presented by his archaeologists, and showed a worried expression.

According to the information they unearthed from the ruins, humanity has left something very, very important somewhere, so much so that now there is an unusually shiny dot on his star map that marks a galaxy.

The content of the intelligence is vague, like the gibberish of a madman, who does not extract any useful information at all except the coordinates of the planet.

And the coordinates of that planet are also very familiar to Li Wenyuan, who has gradually become familiar with the information of the galaxy, that is, the holy place of the "watchman" of the Lost Empire - the Jade Mausoleum.

"Why do you ...... in such a place?" he frowned in the virtual space, trying to deduce the possibility from the fragmented information, but in the end he found nothing.

He knew that humanity must have intersected with "Idealism" in the past, because now among the necessary conditions for the reopening of those ancient facilities on Earth, "Zelo", a special gas that can only be used correctly by idealistic civilizations, is one of them.

But when it comes to the "watchmen", then things get even more complicated.

As one of the oldest living civilizations, the Watchmen are also an unknown rank in the galaxy.

Apart from knowing that it is an extremely idealistic civilization, there is very little information coming out.

Those "holy places" located near its territory were only gradually confirmed after countless civilizations "personally tested" which planets they were.

However, over a long period of time, other civilizations in the galaxy have also tested the level of tolerance of the "watchmen" to the planets of the "Holy Land".

Simply passing by, or sightseeing in the Holy Land, or even declaring an entire galaxy as part of one's own territory, will not attract the punishment of the Watchers.

However, once the "Holy Land" planet is colonized and the original ecology of the planet is destroyed, it will attract a terrible attack from the "Watchers".

As for what will happen to the destruction of the planet "Holy Land", no one knows.

“…… Anyway, someone had to be sent there to find out. After assessing the possible threat posed to him by exploring the "Jade Mausoleum", Li Wenyuan decided to explore.

He didn't think he was going to be in conflict with the Watchmen. There have been cases of tourists visiting the Holy Land with robot minions, so he didn't have a problem letting the synths go there.

And there seems to be a great secret about humanity hidden here, and if he can really find anything there, it must be of great help to him.

After all, where the humans in this galaxy have gone, it has always been a mystery that has plagued him until now.

After thinking about it, one of Li Wenyuan's scientific research spaceships loaded with synthetics also quietly started the thrusters.

The Watcher's territory is far away from him, and he hasn't been to the Emerald Tomb, so he can't just use the jump engine to get there without specific data there.

But fortunately, an interstellar civilization near him has built a "star gate", and in the space network connected to this star gate, there is an exit near the "Jade Mausoleum".

This artificial wormhole-like fast passage allows him to quickly get to the Emerald Mausoleum.

Of course, he also disguised the spacecraft to a certain extent, using the backdoor that had been left behind in the Crebo network, and he disguised the ship's signal as a member of the global enterprise.

In this case, even if the spaceship is destroyed for some unknown reason, in the eyes of all civilizations, it is just a Crebo spaceship that has blown up, and he cannot be implicated.

As a result, the "Crebo spaceship" headed for the galaxy where the "Emerald Mausoleum" was located.

At this time, a one-sided "war" is taking place in this galaxy.

Not long after Szechok began colonizing the Emerald Mausoleum, the Watchmen's punishment fleet suddenly arrived.

As an "extreme idealistic civilization", even the "watchmen" themselves actually use the fleet as a weapon of war, which is also one of the reasons why materialist civilization generally dislikes idealistic civilization.

They feel that idealistic civilization is just a bunch of fools who eat the dividends of "science" and do not admit the existence of science.

Idealistic civilization, on the other hand, feels that materialistic civilization is a group of fools who are trapped in their own world and unwilling to accept the new world.

The two sides have been scolding each other in the galaxy for I don't know how many years.

It wasn't until the last "scientific exchange meeting" that the two sides reluctantly sat down and discussed for a while, only to find out that each other was a group of hopeless people, so they fought directly at the venue and broke up unhappily.

After that, most of the idealistic civilizations in the galaxy fell into silence, and seemed to want the whole big work to convince the materialistic civilization.

Materialist civilization, on the other hand, scoffed at this, saying that "the dancing of a group of gods is not something to fear."

Move your gaze back to the galaxy where the "Emerald Tomb" is located.

There are a large number of wrecks of warships floating here, all of which are of the same style and look like they are from the same civilization.

And in the center of the galaxy, there is a fleet that constantly overflows with purple light.

This purple glow comes from their shields, and it looks mysterious and ethereal.

A thin layer, but any shells, missiles, and lasers sink into the sea like a stone, and cannot stir up a single wave.

The shape of the individual fleet also looks very dreamy, as if it comes from a dream, and there is reality in the unreal, which makes people unconsciously want to look at them.

The proud Sechik civilization launched a nationwide counterattack after being attacked by the "Watchmen".

They believe they have been invaded by aliens and vow to defend their colony.

Naturally "intelligent", they are also quite good at space warfare, but skill has no effect in the face of absolute power, and those battleship wrecks are the best proof of this.

Eventually, after paying a heavy price and having exhausted almost all of the resources of his home planet, Selchik finally realized his weakness and abandoned the colony in disgrace, leaving the people who remained on the "Emerald Tomb" to fend for themselves.

A new star that should have risen on the galactic stage a hundred years later has been postponed for hundreds, if not thousands.

The fleet of the "Watchmen" did not clean up the Szechiks on the "Emerald Mausoleum", and it seems that they are not worried about how much impact the remaining people will have on the "Holy Land", and they believe in the "self-regulation" ability here.

Not long after the end of such a one-sided war, the scientific research spacecraft controlled by Li Wenyuan also came to the "Jade Mausoleum".

The planet looks beautiful and lush, and even the planet Gaia, where Bao is located, is a little less impressive.

However, it is such a planet, but it gives Li Wenyuan a strange sense of dead silence.
