Nebulae are a common environment in the universe, and they vary in size, from smaller ones that are the size of an ordinary galaxy to larger ones that can encompass hundreds or thousands of galaxies.

Because the concentration of interstellar matter in the nebula is too large compared to the vacuum universe and can block the transmission of various waves, it is difficult for ordinary detection methods to be effective in such places.

For some early interstellar civilizations, the "nebula" was a natural "secret base", because the outer detection waves could not reach the depths of the nebula, and these interstellar civilizations were able to hide many important facilities in it, and even transformed the planets in these places into "secret bases", hoping to surprise one day.

However, this can only be aimed at early interstellar civilizations that do not have many means of detection, and for the middle and late interstellar civilizations, the "nebula" is just a cosmic landscape with very beautiful colors on the scale of space, and they have many means to detect the interior of the nebula.

Li Wenyuan's spacecraft arrived in the "Storm Origin" galaxy, which is located in a nebula called "Great Storm" by the "exiles", and the "Storm Origin" is located in the core of this nebula.

In the Exile record, the Great Storm nebula has had a significant number of supernova explosions in recorded observations, and the material ejected by those stellar explosions became a major component of the nebula.

The "origin of the storm" is the place where the "exiles" thought to be the first supernova to erupt in the "Great Storm" nebula.

Moreover, the "exiles" also believe that it was the supernova explosion of the "storm origin" that caused an unknown chain reaction, causing the rest of the stars to also produce a major explosion, and this unknown chain reaction has always been a mystery in the "exiles".

However, despite this, the "exiles" still chose this place as the final stage of the "Hell Line", because after the supernova explosion, the celestial environment here has been quite stable, which is suitable for building a spacefortress, and the nebula can play a more or less defensive role.

At this time, the "exile" Battlestar here detected the signal of the "Silencer" spacecraft appearing here, and for a while, all the sensor monitors were pointed at the "luminous spaceship".

Li Wenyuan's spacecraft still maintained the camouflage of the "Silencer" spacecraft, and even the signal was exactly the same, and this time he did not continue to use the stealth technology provided by the "Silencer" because he felt that it was no longer necessary.

The "exile" defenders here have shown considerable importance to the uninvited arrival of this "ally", after all, they are not really "allies", and there is no agreement for them to form an alliance, and it is all a "tacit understanding" that has kept them safe and sound.

However, without a clear order from their superiors, they can only maintain the highest degree of vigilance, always paying attention to each other's every move.

Li Wenyuan ignored the other party's vigilance, and after entering the edge of the galaxy and confirming that the detector was able to cover the entire galaxy, he remained motionless, rapidly scanning the information in the galaxy.

It wasn't until more and more "exile" spacecraft began to approach the "Storm Origin" system that Li Wenyuan stopped scanning because he had found his "anomaly" here.

"I see...... Is this actually the birthplace of the 'Recorder'? At the same time, the origin of the 'excerpter'? ”

In the dense interstellar dust and some stagnant celestial bodies, Li Wenyuan found the corpse of a bacterium.

These bacterial corpses do not decompose in space, but magically remain in their pre-death state, and exhibit "thermophilic" properties in analysis.

This coincides with the description of their creator by the "Infinite Divine Machine", and the "Extractors" are indeed a group of "thermophilic bacteria".

This alone may not be able to determine that these bacterial corpses are "excerpts", but Li Wenyuan found more evidence on some "asteroids".

The "asteroids" appear to be the surface of the rocks that have been stripped away by huge jets of matter after a supernova explosion, and these rocks are captured by other planets in the process of flying, with smaller ones becoming part of planetary rings and larger ones becoming free comets.

The "exiles" obviously didn't scan these things in detail, the "Hell Line" was so long, they couldn't have spent more energy on this kind of thing, and the scanning was over without any danger, at most they were concerned about the "big wound", which was obviously abnormal at first glance.

Nebulae are not uncommon, and they are not "anomalies" that need attention.

But on these asteroids, Li Wenyuan found something related to the "excerpter" and even the "recorder".

Related to the "excerpter" are some alloys embedded in the asteroid's interior, which would not have been possible under natural conditions, and which are also engraved with characters that can be concluded to be man-made.

After comparing those characters, Li Wenyuan confirmed that they were the characters used by the "Infinite Divine Machine", from which he concluded that these alloy fragments were related to the "excerpter".

And the content of those characters is: Monument to Friendly Relations.

The alloy appears to have been a "monument" in its original form, but was torn apart by a jet of matter and embedded in the rock during a supernova explosion.

Li Wenyuan has found many fragments of "monuments" like this, more than 3,000 large and small, and even if there are still a large number of missing pieces after piecing them together, he can still infer the content of the "monument text".

This was probably the time when the "Extractors" were still active, and this group of thermophilic bacteria was born in the cosmic space around the star and began to absorb a lot of heat from the star.

In the process, they encountered a civilization called "Non-Miru" and developed a certain degree of communication with this civilization.

Originally, Li Wenyuan was still thinking about what this strange-sounding civilization was, but the introduction that followed made him realize that "Ren Milu" was actually the creator of the "Rectification Agreement".

These "monumental texts" mention that the "Non-Miru" are trying to create a unique kind of mechanical intelligence, and to this end, they are constantly looking for races in the universe with special thinking patterns, such as various hive consciousnesses.

The bacterial cluster of "excerpters" is also a similar model of collective consciousness, but different, in that individual bacteria cannot produce consciousness, but can produce collective consciousness through incomprehensible chemical reactions after the number of bacteria has reached a certain level.

"Ren-Miru" was very interested in this way of thinking of the "excerpters", and after obtaining the consent of the "excerpters", he began to study them, and then established a very close relationship.

It was also at that time that the "Infinite Divine Machine" was created, and the "Excerpter" provided the request, and the "Ren-Miru" was responsible for the construction, and finally gave it to the "Excerpter" as a thank you gift for cooperating with the research.

This monument was erected on a planet in the "Storm Origin" galaxy with the gift of the "Infinite Divine Machine".

This is the end of the content of the monument, although there are not many parts related to the "Ren-Milu", but it is enough to make Li Wenyuan think that this civilization is the civilization that created the "Rectification Agreement".

Not to mention how many civilizations can be in the same era as the "excerpters", the demand for "trying to create a kind of mechanical intelligence" alone points to the creator of the "Correction Agreement", and the strength of the civilization that can design the "Infinite Divine Machine" is by no means ordinary.

It's a pity that most of the things related to the "excerpter" here have become cosmic dust with time and supernova explosions, and Li Wenyuan speculates that the abnormal supernova explosion in the "Great Storm" nebula may also be related to the "excerpters".

Although these thermophilic bacteria will absorb the energy of the star, causing the star to be unstable, while they are still alive, they will definitely prevent the star from erupting in advance, which can be regarded as stabilizing the state of the star in disguise.

And after their suicide, this "unstable stable state" also collapsed, creating a series of supernova explosions.

However, in addition to this part of the content related to the "excerpter", Li Wenyuan also found a part related to the "recorder".

It was also some alloy fragment embedded in an asteroid, and a fragment of "civilization relics" that he originally regarded as an "excerpter".

But after some simple measurements, Li Wenyuan confirmed that the age of these fragments was too late compared to the "excerpter", and it was not at all a chronological thing.

And as this other kind of fragment was found more and more, Li Wenyuan gradually pieced together the content on it, which was a "Doomsday Prophecy Tablet".
