Chapter 117: Deep Sea Invasion

Looking at this giant wave planet orbiting the black hole, Li Wenyuan always felt that this might be the most important place in this galaxy.

Originally, he thought that the "gift" that the "professor" was referring to the ownerless material decompressor, but now he felt that it was difficult to say.

Does the planet, named "Fish Tank", suggest something?

Li Wenyuan felt that he might be thinking too much, after all, this seemed to be the place where human beings were conducting a sociological experiment.

They may just want to see a good show of "sitting in the well and watching the sky", and they have never thought about it so much.

“…… Maybe I'm too sensitive......" He forced himself to keep the matter to himself, and then continued to look up the history of the amphibious civilization here.

Although "upward" exploration is forbidden, exploration in other directions is still going on as it is doing.

This scientific theocracy may not be able to do anything else, but the technology related to the "deep sea" is very advanced.

With the help of the magical "dimensional machine", although their population is only a few hundred thousand, they do not need to engage in too much basic labor, and more than 95% of the population are experts in various fields.

Through the exploration of elaborate deep-sea navigation equipment, they discovered that there are actually many uninhabited "homes" in the outside world - which are actually "deep-sea observation stations" located elsewhere on the planet.

But this shocking discovery ushered this civilization into a long "era of pioneering", and it took them nearly a millennium to "colonize" all the "deep-sea observatories".

This succeeded in expanding their population, eventually reaching two million, which was undoubtedly quite a feat for a deep-sea civilization.

It's just that they didn't explore "upward" in this way, and under the guidance of a strong theocratic command, their exploration focus was placed on the deeper depths of the sea.

And this became the beginning of their catastrophe, and the current era is called the "Cataclysmic Era" by them.

But I heard the gray wind suddenly speak, and there was even a thick excitement in his voice:

"Look at that thing! This is the monster I fantasized about in my dreams! ”

Following the guidance of the gray wind, Li Wenyuan saw what she was talking about "that thing".

It was a terrifying creature that looked like a giant octopus, with hundreds of powerful brachiopods.

The suction cups of the wrists and feet shrank one by one, and you can see the dense teeth hidden in one of them, which makes people feel numb when they look at their scalps.

It occupies about one-tenth of the size of this giant deep-sea observatory, which can be said to be quite large for the normal life of more than 100,000 people.

But for an interstellar civilization, it's still too small.

The space creatures that roam the ground are about the size of a large warship, which is why interstellar civilizations don't pay much attention to the oceans.

After all, no matter how big the things in the ocean are, they are not as big as these space creatures roaming the universe, and they are much less deterrent in terms of size.

And the strength is not very good, not to mention the interstellar civilization, the natives who are still in the atomic age can directly destroy the creatures in front of them with nuclear bombs.

However, for Grey Wind, who has been in space since birth, this "monster of the deep sea" is still very interesting.

But there is something special about this giant octopus in front of me, and it seems to have a lot of intelligence.

Li Wenyuan was very sure that the "distress signal" detected earlier was sent by this giant octopus.

Because at this time, it is waving a huge wrist and foot, and it is very leisurely swinging a transmitter that does not match its size, and every once in a while, it will transmit a "distress signal" to the outside world.

Look...... It's like a lanternfish fishing.

He looked around the intact interior of the observatory and found that the giant octopus would carefully avoid every building or even flower or plant in the area.

It was able to control every muscle of its body nimbly, and even though it was now clinging to a large structure inside a deep-sea observatory, it did not cause any damage to it.

But the species of the amphibian civilization that was supposed to inhabit it is gone, and judging by the wriggling teeth in the brachiopod suckers of the giant octopus, the inhabitants of this place may have been less than lucky.

Moreover, from the body of this giant octopus, he also detected some kind of special energy fluctuations.

“…… Are all the psionic octopuses coming? "Having dealt with the Void countless times, he has confirmed that it is the fluctuation of psionic energy.

And this kind of psionic energy fluctuation is not low even in the stars, only some psionic masters can reach this level, if this psionic octopus is seen by those idealistic civilizations, it may have to be called "Octopus Venerable".

“…… It's unbelievable, what has this amphibious civilization done? Li Wenyuan began to check the archives that were sealed as "top secret" by the natives here, and then saw such an incident:

[The Disappearance of the "Evolution Accelerator"]

[Record time: 328 years of the pioneering era]

[Contents: As the Pope re-established the "Kingdom of God", the machine left behind by the power of the "God" was dismantled and transported to the new Kingdom as a symbol.] However, one of the submarines loaded with the main structure went missing in the process, presumably being swept into "hell" by the undercurrent.

According to the narrative of this case, a submarine with the main structure of the "Evolution Accelerator" has sunk deeper into the deep sea, and the possibility of finding it has completely disappeared.

But Li Wenyuan knows what the nature of the "evolutionary accelerator" is, and its most important thing is not the machine itself, but a special substance that accelerates mutation.

This substance will greatly increase the desire to reproduce and metabolism of organisms, and at the same time cause a large number of genetic variations in offspring.

Almost every living thing will be infected and mutated by this substance, and through the number of good enough species, finally in countless rounds of accelerated brutal elimination, a creature that has reached the pinnacle of both physical and intelligent will appear, and this creature will become the foundation of "civilization".

The amphibious civilization here may have exterminated countless of their close relatives in the course of their evolution, but they just didn't know about it.

But just like the technology corresponding to this machine, this is a kind of artificially accelerated "cruel evolution", which sounds like refining Gu.

Although such a machine will stop working when "civilization" appears, it will certainly not be depleted of its stored material.

After the destruction of civilization, it will accelerate this process in a new round of "natural selection".

The giant octopus in front of you is likely to be a creature that has been "improved" by the missing "evolutionary accelerator".

Under the water pressure of the deep sea, these materials from the "evolutionary accelerator" may have leaked, which may have caused unpredictable pollution to the deep sea.

And this octopus is likely to be the new deep-sea "hegemon".

According to this amphibious civilization's record of the "Cataclysmic Era", he felt that it was not much different from his thoughts.

["Great Tribulation"]

[Recording time: Year 0 of the Cataclysmic Era]

[Contents: Scientists who are exploring downward have begun to disappear in large numbers, and a large number of security forces have begun to search for the root of all this...... Eventually, we discovered these "enemies". They are immensely large in size and possess all kinds of strange powers, coming from the outside world with the goal of destroying us......]

“…… Has this amphibious civilization been destroyed? No, this 'psionic octopus' seems to be using 'bait' to lure this amphibious civilization to continue sending people over......"

And drones located in other locations in the deep sea have also come one after another, confirming his ideas.

It is true that this amphibious civilization has not yet been destroyed, but it is not far off.

At this time, they only had one "home" left, and it was still suspended in the sea, and the reason why it was difficult was because several huge tentacles that could not be seen at a glance rolled around the observation post and were dragging them deeper into the deep sea.

If it weren't for the fact that something that wasn't human was very strong, it would have dragged it down.

But judging by the size of those tentacles, the size of this mysterious creature has reached a terrifying level, and even the observation station, which can accommodate more than 100,000 people, looks like a toy under its tentacles.

Originally, Li Wenyuan didn't have much feeling about this, but he thought of the image that this "fish tank" might represent, and always felt that this was not an explanation of "an unpredictable threat that will destroy the fish tank world".

He felt like he might be grasping something, but he couldn't touch the fog that was close in front of him.

“…… Did humans perceive something? ”

In fact, he already has some kind of bad guess, but if this is the case, then everything in this universe may not be easy to say.

If you don't move, reduce your workload for two days a little and sort out your thoughts. Please forgive me! I'll be back in Riwan in two days! Will add more compensation!
