Chapter 340: Soul Lamp
The "Miniature Galaxy Lights", which is particularly emphasized by its name, is actually a suicide bomb, with no "bomb" elements visible from the outside, and even the starlight emitted by the stars inside can be seen when the subspace field overlaps with the properties of the real universe.
But once someone really tries to bring this "miniature galaxy" back to study, what awaits him will only be an explosion.
The star hidden inside it is about to enter the supernova explosion stage, which is a time bomb, and when the time comes, the star will explode, breaking through the subspace closure and exploding the "miniature galaxy".
When detonated in this way, the aftermath of a supernova explosion alone can wipe out life in its vicinity, not to mention that the shock wave can spread a large amount of toxic material that is actually stored inside to farther away.
Obviously, this "miniature galaxy light" was deliberately designed to make the enemy think that the "Sentinel" organization was hiding here.
“…… A large number of bacteria, viruses, and highly toxic substances have been released into the universe, and there are even gases that can corrode alloys, but fortunately, we knew in advance that we would hide far away......"
A "distant traveler" seemed to be a little apprehensive at this time, because according to their original thoughts, they would definitely not open this "miniature galaxy" with too much protection.
If they did, the synths they were present would have to be replaced.
"Did you take into account the creature of the opener as much as possible? Although it may not be able to deal damage to the 'Hunter', it is still possible to use it to give a heavy blow to the Cosmopolitan Enterprise...... If the global enterprise moves it to a certain experimental base with a research attitude, it must end badly......"
“…… It's better to clean up these harmful substances first, so as not to accidentally injure others...... Also, are the results of the analysis of that chip out? ”
Someone mentioned the broken chip that drifted in the universe with the opening of the "miniature galaxy", if it weren't for the unique means of the "Far Traveler" to detect the chip, otherwise the fluctuations in the subspace would have been enough to cover up most of the traces.
However, due to the erosion of toxic substances, these "far-travelers" still expressed considerable concern about whether the content in the chip could be restored.
Because this seems to be the only vestiges of the ancient "Sentinel" organization that survives in the world, this group of fierce people knows that this galaxy cannot have a future with the intervention of "hunters", and finally decides to turn everything about themselves into weapons and traps.
The current "Sentinel" is just another organization with the same name, and the real "Sentinel" has all died in the past.
However, the secrets left by the "Sentinel" have still not been deciphered, and what puzzles the "Far Traveler" the most is the technology of making the "miniature galaxy" and the "Apocalypse" mentioned by the "Sentinel".
They need to know if this "Apocalypse" is the same as the "Apocalypse" in their mouths, and what humanity has left here.
They feel that the "sentinel" seems to have hidden everything in this chip and pinned it on "fate".
Whether the chip, which has been preserved for so long in a highly toxic environment, can be interpreted on the day when it sees the light of day depends on "luck".
The luck of the "Far Traveler" did not seem to be good, and the scientists accompanying the ship, after careful examination, finally came to a regrettable conclusion - they could not repair or read the data in this chip.
“…… Although I was mentally prepared, it was inevitable that I would just give up the clues in my hands......"
Some people are a little unwilling, after all, this is the most likely clue to directly understand the "Sentinel" organization at present, this time I failed to find the relevant information, and I don't know the Year of the Monkey to find it again next time.
In the vast sea of stars, the most important thing is nothingness.
As a result, this group of "far-travelers" decided to try it one last time.
"The Sentinels didn't give up leaving traces, but chose to seal everything in the chip, indicating that they still want someone to see the contents of the chip, even if it's a 'prank'."
"The process used to make this chip may be a little more special, and it is impossible for the 'sentinel' not to know what effect the highly toxic environment will have on the chip, and I am afraid that even if the chip is severely corroded, it can still be read by some special means."
Everyone was speculating, and in the end, it was the computer scientist who came up with a set of reconstructed drawings of the chip, explaining:
"In fact, the shape of this chip is a bit weird, I have adjusted the restoration parameters countless times, and converted different scenes, but the restoration model given by the computer is still fixed."
"If I have to say, this chip is actually ...... Well...... It looks like it was 'cut off' from something.,The original thing that carried him was supposed to be a huge piece of hardware.,The restoration picture looks like this.。 ”
The object in the restored image roughly looks like a giant computer, and the location of the chip is an inconspicuous surface on the computer.
It looks a bit like the giant computer on top of the lighthouse.
“…… So this chip actually comes from that computer? What computer can we try to use to read the chip? But to be honest, I didn't dare to put the chip in it, and the ghost knows if the virus in the computer will destroy the contents of the chip as well. ”
This is a valid consideration, but the scientist who specializes in computers explains:
"This probably won't happen, in fact I have detected a certain amount of living metal content in the composition of the chip, and I have already asked the drone to go to that giant computer to sample to confirm the similarity."
"If living metal is used, then the working principle of the chip may be different from what we know, in short, the living metal itself is a good information carrying medium, and will not be connected to the memory of the computer itself."
"But in order to read the information in the living metal, it has to be made from an inactive state to an active state, and this requires a 'living metal actuator' produced from the same piece of living metal, and the chip we have in our hand, I think, is ......"
As the explanation became clearer and the drone that collected the sample returned, it was finally confirmed that the composition of the giant computer shell on top of the lighthouse was consistent with the chip.
And this potholed chip will also return to its original position.
“…… But honestly, the chips have been corroded like this, can it still be useful? Someone couldn't help but ask this question, and the computer expert gave him an answer:
"There's no need to worry, living metal is one of the most stable substances known in the universe at the moment, and the process of destroying it can even be equivalent to some eighth-level technology, so it's not so easy to go wrong."
The conversation between the two did not attract the attention of others, and now almost all eyes were focused on the drone that was grabbing the chip with a robotic arm.
The missing small opening on the giant computer was somewhat difficult to detect compared to its massive size, but it was found under the meticulous observation of the processor, and a small chip was slowly attached to it.
The next incredible scene happened, but I saw that the living metal chip seemed to be one with the computer, absolutely tightly attached to the computer, and there was not even a single gap on the perfect contact surface, as if the absolute chimera had been completed at the atomic level.
Its body, which should have been cratered, also seemed to come to life suddenly, causing the entire giant computer body to tremble slightly.
And when the tremor is over, the chip has disappeared, to be precise, it is completely integrated with the computer, and there is no difference at all.
It was also at this time that the giant computer, which had not been shut down, entered a state of "maximum operating power", and the light emitted by its display screen became brighter and brighter, even to the extent that it could easily burn the naked eye.
It took a while for this state to end, leaving behind a computer with a very different operating system.
The virus that had previously masqueraded as consciousness data was gone, leaving only a flickering pattern of lights, and the nearby file was named so:
【Lighting Project】
After reading the information about the "Lights Project", the records left by the "Sentinel" organization are also known to the "Far Travelers".
[We are "sentinels", the ones who detect danger before everyone else and warn everyone before disaster strikes]
[But unfortunately, we failed to do both, we were not able to detect the danger before everyone else, nor were we able to be the first to resist]
[We have existed for a long time, and even the lost empire that helped us has been destroyed, but we still exist, and we are always hiding from the search of the group of "alien threats"]
[But we all know that destruction is sooner or later, that civilization will not allow the existence of a group like us, all they need is an agent like the betrayer civilization]
[We actually have nothing to lose, after all, we are a group of people who have lost almost all of them]
But we are still worried about the future here, and we must wait long enough for that civilization to stop paying attention to this place before we can rekindle the spark of rebellion.
[We are only an "organization", not a "civilization", but as the last group in this galaxy, we will still obey our last duty]
What is the inheritance of civilization? Is it technology? Is it architecture? Is it a legacy? Probably all of the above]
[But we believe that what civilization inherits is the "spirit"]
[As long as there is a curious person who puts the chip in its rightful place, the spirit of resistance can be passed on, and the history of our existence will still be valuable]
Synchronized with the recording, the lighthouse monostructure actually worked magically.
The top of the lighthouse began to glow, and psionic fluctuations centered on the lighthouse radiated across the galaxy.
The "Far Travelers" present witnessed all this and understood what the function of this lighthouse giant structure was.
However, looking at this regular fluctuation of psionic energy, these scientists didn't know what kind of expression to show.
Because the "assimilation fighters" have completely lifted the "barrier", there is no "oppression" here.
And the "Assimilation Fighters" who were still dealing with the "Void Egg" also sensed this string of psionic energy fluctuations, but they were not affected.
