Chapter 341: Void Cataclysm
【Beacon of the Soul】
This is the name given to this lighthouse by the Far Travelers.
After its activation, by analyzing the spreading psionic fluctuations, they confirmed that it was a signal capable of influencing the living organism's psychic world.
Although all the emotional sources of living organisms are the secretion of chemicals, it is different in the world of idealism.
This psionic signal from the lighthouse will act directly on the realm of idealism, first inducing the emotions of the organism, and then using the emotions to promote the synthesis of the corresponding chemicals.
Its effect is so powerful that it can make a docile creature agitated and irritable for a short time.
Although this method of directly detonating emotions without a bottom line is very immoral, it is more than enough in the field of "resistance".
The Sentinels had apparently foreseen the end of the Cosmos Corporation's control and enslavement of everyone, and if the Corporation, in the course of its constant hunt, discovered the place and activated the Beacon of the Mind out of curiosity in pursuit of secrecy, they would end up in a riot.
This is a riot that does not use genetic modification as a transfer, and the "beacon of the mind" will directly act on the spiritual realm, even if the genetically modified person with the "docile" trait will also become a violent maniac.
In addition, this galaxy has almost no protection against psionic energy, and even the high-level executives of the Universal Enterprise will be recruited at that time, and the biggest possibility of this enterprise is to perish in civil strife, and this galaxy will undergo a new cycle of civilization.
It's another trap, at least for the Cosmos Enterprise that once ruled here, and it's clear that the Sentinels don't have any good feelings about the betrayers of the entire galaxy.
However, while the effect of the "Beacon of the Soul" is quite powerful, it also has its flaws.
The first is that it is not long-lasting, this "beacon of the soul" is not connected to any energy supply lines, nor does it have its own power generation equipment, it can only continue to work for a period of time, and the psychic influence it exerts will gradually diminish after it stops working.
But the seeds of rebellion do be planted, and from time to time the affected person will be reminded of a time when he seemed to be extremely irritable, and this thinking will exert a hint on the consciousness itself, and involuntarily recall what it felt when it was irritable, and then become irritable again.
Another drawback of the Lighthouse Megastructure is that it will not work for Gestalt consciousness or any mechanical life.
In Gestalt consciousness, all consciousness is a whole, and when individuals rarely think independently, or even more often act on their instinctive unconscious, the beacon that stimulates emotions will not work.
Mechanical life, on the other hand, is more direct, and they are not affected by psionic energy on the "spirit world".
“…… It can only be said that the Universal Enterprise is quite lazy, they must have thought that the 'hunter' had cleaned up the galaxy, so they never carried out a detailed search, and they did not find this 'big gift' left to them by the 'sentinel'. ”
"But in any case, their wish has been fulfilled in disguise...... Let's see if there is any other information worth noting. ”
The Far Traveler scientists remembered their mission, and instead of disturbing the working lighthouse monostructure, they looked at the rest of the data in the giant computer.
The "Sentinel" organization must still want to pass on some secrets in the galaxy, even if the Universal Enterprise knows about it, after all, as long as someone finds out, there will be a day when they will see the light of day.
As they expected, the computer recorded everything related to the "Sentinel" organization.
【Confidential Document 1: Apocalypse】
When they saw this name, the scientists of "Far Traveler" couldn't help but show a hint of anticipation, and they also used "Apocalypse" to call "human", although the text and the "sentinel" organization were different, but the meaning was similar.
However, after reading the records, they understood that the "Apocalypse" here was not human, but another civilization that did something similar to humans.
[This is an ancient lost empire, and they are older than all other civilizations in this galaxy]
[The hyperspace channel that connects all the galaxies was built by them, the spark of civilization was spread by them, and the interstellar society also came]
[Based on our superficial understanding, the Apocalypse seems to have been trying to protect a space creature that has been stranded to us for a long time, but they don't seem to have found a good solution]
[Over the past countless years, other civilizations have had rare exchanges with the Apocalypse, and know that the Apocalypse has been looking for a way to "break through the limit"]
[This is a very mysterious statement, in our opinion, the "Apocalypse" has undoubtedly reached the peak, right, is there a new level after them? 】
[After integrating as much information as possible from other civilizations, we have confirmed that the "Apocalypse" is engaged in some kind of "technological cycle", which they want to use to reach new heights]
[But it's all over now, because they've also fallen to the Hunter civilization]
Although they are all very rightly called the "Apocalypse", the "Apocalypse" here seems to be the original civilization in this galaxy, because it was born early enough to become a lost empire.
And what made the "Far Traveler" confirm that this "Apocalypse" and the "Apocalypse" were the second confidential document.
[Confidential Document 2: Outsiders]
[This is an ancient secret, even the vast majority of civilizations in the galaxy do not know about it, only the "Apocalypse" and a very small number of space city-states seem to have encountered this mysterious "outsider"]
[Sometime ago, an alien civilization came to this galaxy long ago]
[Unlike the evil "hunters", this is a civilization full of good intentions]
[They seem to have come here to sow civilization, and after discovering that we are already very prosperous, they have a brief exchange with the "Apocalypse"]
[The exact circumstances are unknown, but according to the space city-states, it seems that the space creature that wandered here has been cured, and the "Apocalypse" may have gained new insights into the "technology cycle"]
[Anyway, the arrival of this "outsider" is a good thing]
Through the records of this classified document, the "Far Traveler" thinks that this outsider is a human being, no matter how you look at it.
And one of the things that they are quite concerned about is the "mysterious space creature" that lives here.
Because the "guardians" had told them about "dimensional erosion" and the aether dragon, after seeing this wandering space creature that was suddenly cured after the arrival of humans, they wondered if this was also an aether dragon, or something like an "aether erosion" from the previous era?
After seeing the third confidential document, the "Far Travelers" present all stared at each other, because they saw information that might be related to the "Artificial Intelligence Planet".
【Confidential Document 3: Hunter】
[This is a demon that deserves to be spurned for 10,000 years, and we don't want to record this civilization, but for the sake of the fire that may be revived in the future, we still have to leave these records]
[This is a terrifying civilization, we have learned from the only knowledge that they have destroyed countless galaxies using the "Void Beast", and the group of "Presolins" who came to us were also driven by them]
[We can't find any means of confrontation at the moment, we can only provide them with signs before they appear]
[Please pay close attention to the condition of the surrounding galaxies!] If all the stars in any galaxy go out overnight, they're coming......]
[They seem to be chasing the "Presorin", if there is another "Presorin" attack in the future, then what you need to guard against is not this "insect plague", but the "hunters" in the future]
[In addition, when we have retreated to only a few base areas, some of our refugees who have survived have noticed something]
["Hunter" seems to have taken a certain planet away]
[It is described as a kind of planet full of mechanical style, and there are buildings with suspected surveillance equipment on it, so can it be said that we have been under surveillance all along?] 】
[At present, we still don't know what this planet is, and why the "hunter" took this planet, which is worth noting]
As soon as they saw the description of the planet taken by the "Hunter", the science of the "Far Traveler" realized that this was most likely the "observation terminal" of the galaxy, but they did not expect that this thing was actually taken away by the "Hunter" in its entirety.
"It's troublesome now, if you want to find a 'purification terminal', you can only rely on hard work......"
They were a little disappointed, but they analyzed one thing.
“…… I remember that Universal Enterprise seemed to think that the 'Hunters' were trapped somewhere? Can I link this to the 'recorder'? After all, the 'Hunters' moved the 'Observation Terminal' that they least wanted to be disturbed ......"
“…… If there is such a possibility, let's report this matter first......"
The "Far Traveler" scientist linked this incident to the "Recorder", and wondered if the current disappearance of the "Hunter" civilization was related to the fact that they violently took the "observation terminal".
However, while they are passing this through the network of consciousness, the "assimilation fighters" who are reorganizing the global enterprise are also in some trouble.
The "Void Egg", which was originally very stable under the effect of the inhibitor, began to show abnormalities, and from the analysis point of view, it seems that the "Void Seed" is about to enter the "birth" state from the "incubation borderline" state.
Seeing that he could no longer suppress the hatching of the "Void Egg", the "Assimilation Fighter" began to urgently transfer the "companions" on the "Planet Egg" and informed Li Wenyuan of the matter.
They thought it was due to the "Void Egg" being summoned by the "Hunter", but it was not, and the reason was that the "Spiritual Lighthouse" had caused all this.
The "Void Egg" seems to have a reaction to psionic energy, which is also the source of the technology used by the Cosmos Enterprise to control the "Void Breeding", and this time the psionic energy fluctuations have prompted the "Void Egg" to hatch.
At this moment, in some hidden places in the galaxy, there are also some "planetary eggs" that seem to sense something, accelerating the process of their birth.
These are creatures of the same family as the "Plague of Bugs" that once wreaked havoc in this galaxy, but this time they are no longer "Plagues", but "Guardians of the Galaxy" here.
