Chapter 53: Grey Wind
No matter how you look at the mobile energy source on this last planet, Li Wenyuan also raised his vigilance.
“…… And the guys who are alive? Is it the 'ash' of the mutilated record? ”
He had naturally read the information in the last record, and combined with the previous few words, he had probably restored the ending of this group of nanobots.
At first, the "door builders" did not know what caused the nanobots to go out of control, and after a long remedy, they decided to block themselves and the out-of-control nanobots in this "distant star cluster", and then fight to the death.
As a result, the Gatebuilders failed, and the entire civilization was dissipated by the wind, leaving only these out-of-control nanobots and the stargates locked in the galaxy.
But these runaway nanobots gradually gave birth to intelligence in the long period of confinement.
Maybe it's because of boredom, or maybe it's because of curiosity.
These nanobots disguised themselves as the civilizations of their creators, and formed a fake "Concord of Desanu", waiting for someone to open the stargate from the outside.
One day, the door was opened, and the bored nanobots greeted them enthusiastically, wanting to see what the Milky Way looked like outside.
It's a pity that the people who opened the door were not very "friendly", or perhaps because their poor imitation was seen.
All in all, the nanobots were asked where they were sore and attacked in annoyance.
Then they were beaten and almost turned into the dust of history with their creators.
Li Wenyuan guessed that most of the civilization that taught these nanobots was humans. After all, all kinds of clues point to the fact that the "Gate Builder" encountered humans when they were building the Star Gate, and there was a certain degree of connection.
In that era when there were not even a few natives in the heavens, he felt that only humans could have such combat power.
However, at that time, humans did not choose to destroy these nanobots, but blocked the door again, as if they wanted these nanobots to calm down.
And then this level is that I don't know how many years, even the human beings themselves have disappeared, as if they have forgotten about the "distant star cluster".
And these nanobots may have found a suitable path in continuous self-reflection and self-evolution.
At first, they may have been trying to create organic life, and it is mentioned in the incomplete records that they created a "giant beast", as for what exactly Li Wenyuan is not clear.
With continuous trial and error and deduction, these nanobots finally merged all their minds into one consciousness and got their results.
- The nanobot aggregate named "Ash" that is wandering around the surface of the planet.
Li Wenyuan's scientific research spacecraft had approached the planet full of nanobots, and soon uploaded the footage captured by the drone to the spacecraft.
The content of the picture also made Li Wenyuan slightly surprised:
A "human female" is walking in a near-vacuum planetary environment, with no protective equipment or life-sustaining equipment.
Even if he was directly exposed to cosmic radiation, he didn't show any discomfort, and he still lived very comfortably.
Li Wenyuan, who had known that "Ash" was a super life, didn't care too much about her being able to move in the cosmic environment, and what surprised him was that "Ash" used the appearance of a human being!
Obviously, the civilization that beat those nanobots in the record is human, otherwise there is no reason why a guy who has been locked up in a "distant star cluster" for at least a million years would adopt a human appearance.
The nanobot aggregate sensed the drone's approach, but instead of being surprised, she looked bored.
"Hello, dear compatriots. How are you doing? Me...... I don't have much interest in playing right now, so if I have anything to say, I'll talk about it when my sleep cycle is over. ”
After the signal she transmitted was translated, this was the meaning, and Li Wenyuan was confused...... What is this all about?
Before he could take any further action, the nanobot aggregate realized something and looked at the drone in the sky in surprise.
"Ahh Am I mistaken? Wait a minute...... I'll think about it first...... Ah, right. Uh-huh. ”
"I'm sorry, I thought it was a toy that I split off, but I remembered that I hadn't played like this in a long time."
"Yes, yes, it's clear that I'm not a 'human' at all, nor a living being, or even one of you. Say, what do you want? ”
The mental state of such a nanobot aggregate does not seem to be normal, or it may be that she was born like this, and there is a certain degree of confusion in her speech.
However, Li Wenyuan still noticed that she seemed to know "humans", and her performance was an object that could be communicated.
So after thinking about it for a while, Li Wenyuan still decided to ask step by step: "Please indicate your identity first." ”
"Identity? Well, I thought you should be able to tell something when you see these things around you, where do you go to talk about it? ”
"It's troublesome, all in all, we are a group of nanobots called 'Grey Storm' by our creators, we destroyed our creators, and then carried out a series of experiments over a long period of time."
"I am the result of our experiments, and now the whole 'Grey Storm', whatever you want to call it, is gathered on me, and my consciousness represents our entire civilization."
"As for my appearance...... It's because a civilization that calls itself 'human' once came here and left some ...... Very enlightening stuff. ”
"I liked one of the games called Stellaxxx, so I designed my appearance to be similar to me inside."
"Alas, alas, how can I talk about so many irrelevant things, is it really because I haven't spoken to someone other than myself for a long time? I'm sure you don't mind if I talk to myself, do you? ”
She said a lot of things, and although they seemed irrelevant to her, they were important in Li Wenyuan's eyes.
"It's really human, it's really rare to see a human being who has witnessed it in person."
He thought to himself, and just as he was about to continue asking, he saw that the nanobot aggregate had been looking around, and seemed to be a little anxious.
“…… What are you looking at? ”
"Now that you've come to this place, it means it's no longer closed, right? I have to admit that I've been bored with the idyllic life here in recent times. ”
"Now that the stargate to the outside world is open again, perhaps I should be exposed to something new. Do you have any suggestions? ”
Want to get out?
Li Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was unwilling to let her go. Not to mention whether these nanobots are still threatening or not, the fact that she may know many things from ancient times is enough to attract Li Wenyuan's attention.
As for how to get her to stay......
Seeing that she had never shown any danger until now, and was curious about everything in the outside world, Li Wenyuan's eyes flickered, and he said directly:
"You can join us, I think I can give you a better understanding of the outside world."
"Well, join in...... Wait a minute? Join you? Join you? You want me to throw myself into the arms of some alien civilization I met for the first time? I really...... I'm simply ...... Wait, let me make it clear! ”
"Do you really think I'm going to swear allegiance to you? Even though I don't know anything about your weird empire and the history behind it? You're not kidding, are you? ”
"I don't know what you're thinking about making such a suggestion...... Belch...... In fact...... On second thought, well, what's the point? ”
"Let me be in the gang, I'm serious! I feel like we're going to get along! And it's going to be an exciting intergalactic adventure! I will be loyal to you for the next 2,000 years. No, it's still 5,000 years! ”
Really deceived her...... Ah no, convinced......
Li Wenyuan didn't expect that the nanobot aggregate would agree so easily, so that all the arguments he had thought of in advance did not come in handy.
Sure enough, her current mental state is not normal, is it because she has been locked up in the "Distant Star Cluster" for too long?
However, he still retains his vigilance about this nanobot aggregate for the time being, after all, her predecessor is an existence that once destroyed her own creator.
Even now, it seems that the past has been reversed, and it needs to be paid attention to.
After breathing a sigh of relief for a while, Li Wenyuan also asked about her title:
"What shall I call you? Is it just called 'ash'? ”
"Salutation? It doesn't matter, let's hurry up and have a thrilling alien adventure! ”
“…… Since your creator calls you 'Grey Storm', let me call you 'Grey Wind'. ”
"Grey Wind? Not bad, so let's get started! ”
