“…… Is this a 'miniature galaxy' created by the 'Sentinel' organization itself? ”

Looking at this very familiar thing, the scientists of the "Far Traveler" couldn't help but ask.

Because from the perspective of design style, this "miniature galaxy" is very similar to the "miniature galaxy" that humans once left in the galaxy, and it is almost possible to directly identify it as a relic of mankind.

It was still a sharp-eyed scientist who found the word "sentinel" on the surface of the box of the "miniature galaxy", and judged the difference in craftsmanship from some details after construction, which determined that this "miniature galaxy" was not a human creation.

"But the technology of building a 'miniature galaxy' is not something that ordinary civilizations can master, right? Judging from the previous discoveries in the archaeological remains, the 'Sentinel' organization is at most the level of ordinary Lost Empires, and even those Lost Empires that support them behind them cannot be higher than their level. ”

"So we can still reasonably guess that this 'miniature galaxy' is directly related to the 'Apocalypse', for example, this technology is indeed from the 'Apocalypse'." Didn't the guardians say that? The Apocalypse has been here, and the technology may have stayed here for some purpose. ”

Several of the scientists who accompanied the ship discussed it, and finally focused on the expert who had studied the Sentinel organization the most deeply among them, hoping for an explanation he could give.

And after carefully studying the words engraved on the "miniature galaxy", the expert slowly said word by word:

"The final product of the 'Lights' project - 'Miniature Galaxy Lights'."

"This seems to be the name given to this 'miniature galaxy' by the 'Sentinel' organization, and from this name, you can roughly know what this is for, maybe the 'Sentinel' organization decided to move everything they have into this subspace box after being cornered, in order to sweep it again in the future."

The expert deciphered the text, which soon drew another scientist to interject:

"But their technology doesn't seem to be very good, the subspace stance distorts the light inside and outside, we can't see the inside from the outside, and they can't see the outside from the outside, is this deliberate? So how do they know when they're going to come out? ”

Experts who study the "Sentinel" organization shook their heads, apparently not knowing what the reason was.

Perhaps it was the "Sentinel" organization's technical difficulties, as the scientist said, that led to such a serious mistake.

But given the environment in which they were being pressed by the "hunter" civilization, this mistake is understandable.

"So we're going to find a place to release them? Nothing could be more accurate than asking them in person, right? Someone suggested this, but a robust scientist soon vetoed it:

"Wait, let's finish exploring this giant structure first, maybe there's something worth noting."

So after carefully preserving the "miniature galaxy", the drone continued to explore in the giant structure.

The results did not exceed the robust scientist's expectations, and a huge computer was found at the very top of the lighthouse structure, where the structure of the building should have been a "light".

On the alloy wall next to the computer, you can still see the slogans of the "Sentinel" organization engraved there row by row.

[When other civilizations collapse, we stand]

[When other civilizations give up resistance, we teach them how to fight back]

With such a computer stored here, the "Far Travelers" naturally wanted to access it and take a look, and even when they approached, they found that the computer could still be turned on.

Unlike the dilapidated state of the structure itself, the computer seems to be fairly intact, with all kinds of precautions, and at first glance it is used to store some kind of important data.

Without much hesitation, the long-dusted computer was once again plugged in.

The dust was blown into the universe with the operation of the cooling equipment, and after flashing a few pictures on its old large screen, it entered the "password problem" interface.

And the question is simple: "What are our goals?" ”

Seeing this problem, the scientists all looked at the experts in the team who had the deepest research on the "Sentinel", and the experts also wrote on the big screen with the text of the "Sentinel" organization through the drone:

[We are the Sentinels, a group of exiles, oppresses, refugees, retired fighters, and all those who have lost everything in other shocks]

[We were born with funding, and we swear to use all our strength and all the aid we receive to fight this "natural disaster"]

[Whether it is the "Insect Plague", or the "Void Invasion", or the "Hunter", we will fight it until the last moment, no matter how long it takes, and whether we still exist or not]

【……】

The answer to this question is long in words, but only halfway through the description, it shows that the password is correct, revealing what is hidden inside the computer.

"This saved ...... Wait, this seems to be the 'consciousness data'? ”

Scientists with in-depth knowledge of computer technology can see at a glance what the massive and dense stuff of data is.

And this result also reminded the other "Far Travelers" of something in an instant, and then they all said in unison:

"The same approach as us?" Is the Sentinel' organization also preparing for a 'resurrection from the dead' in the future? ”

This method of preserving consciousness data for future regeneration is familiar to the "Far Travelers", because they used to do this to escape the purge of their "compatriots", but they did not expect to meet a civilization outside the galaxy that has similar thoughts to them.

"Since consciousness data is stored here, what is stored in the 'Micro Galaxy'?"

As soon as this question arose in their minds, they were immediately answered by the information data in the computer:

[Since the "Lights" project can only preserve a very small number of civilizational fires, the "Consciousness Database" here is still part of our plan]

[This place stores the consciousness data of all the other civilization refugees, including some "sentinels", as well as all the technologies that have been in place]

[At the same time, our consciousness data also contains the information of the ancient "Apocalypse", as long as we find the "secret" they left behind, we can also expel all those "natural disasters"!] 】

It seems that the consciousness data of the vast majority of the civilizations destroyed by the "hunters" is here, and they seem to be waiting for the batch of sparks in the "miniature galaxy" to rescue them.

At the same time, the "Far Travelers" also found clues to the "Apocalypse", and although they are not sure if this is a human clue, it is worth looking for.

So someone couldn't help but say: "Without further ado, hurry up and transfer their sleeping consciousness data, I remember that we still have a lot of spare bodies, and they should be enough to carry this batch." ”

However, at this time, someone stopped this idea, he was the expert who specialized in computers, and his eyes were suspicious when he looked at the consciousness data.

"Wait, these consciousness data seem to be a bit ...... Too shabby? He said with some uncertainty.

"A rough glance can indeed see the feeling of 'consciousness data', but if you look at it carefully, you can't resist scrutiny, and I feel that this amount of data does not seem to constitute a complete consciousness."

Hearing him say this, some people speculated:

"Maybe it's just that they don't have enough technology to enter consciousness with this level of completeness? Or maybe it's just that their technology is far beyond what we think, and they have been able to simplify consciousness data. ”

However, experts who specialize in computers always feel that something is wrong and refuse to give in, but there is something they can't say.

In the end, it was the scientist who was the leader of the research team who spoke.

“…… Let's stop, don't you think it's a little weird? Why do they keep this important data in such a place, even the 'miniature galaxy' is left here, is this their last bastion? ”

"Of course, this is not a suspicious point, but what makes me wonder the most is why we leave this kind of introductory information, directly find out what is here and what they are hiding."

"If it's for secrecy, it's better not to mention anything and pretend to be just an ordinary computer. In retrospect, it seems that these introductions are more like a way to prevent the discoverer from destroying the data immediately, after all, there seems to be a big secret hidden in it that anyone would want to explore. ”

The words of the leader scientist made the scientist who specializes in computers suddenly think of a possibility, and his eyes on the "consciousness data" became more and more strange.

Then, he said in front of everyone: "I know where the unspeakable suspicions are, these 'consciousness data' have an abnormal feeling of 'being disguised', just like ...... Beneath its shell is an electronic virus. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at the big screen, and they even unconsciously took a step back on the spaceship.

"What do you think is the odds?"

"Eighty percent."

This probability surprised everyone even more, assuming that these "consciousness data" were really a disguised electronic virus, it would inevitably be triggered during the transfer process.

While they are confident in their electronic protection, they will certainly be affected.

Since this so-called "consciousness database" is a trap, what about the "miniature galaxy"?

The "Far Travelers" present all thought of this question, assuming that the "miniature galaxy" was also a trap, then it is debatable whether its inability to observe the internal situation was a "technical accident".

In the end, the "Far Traveler" still chose a remote uninhabited deep space and safely released the subspace in the "Miniature Galaxy Lights".

And in this subspace, there is only one star that is about to explode, with a huge amount of bacterial and viral material large enough to cover the galaxy.

This is not some "light", but a bomber that takes advantage of the enemy's curiosity to pull the enemy to commit suicide.

The true members of the Sentinel have all died in the past, leaving only a small chip that flew out of the subspace and was riddled with holes by the highly toxic substance.

But as they said in their manifesto, their struggle did not stop, whether they still existed or not.
