"...The new Farstriders have appeared. They seem to be...omnics? Bear, what do you think?"

In the trading enclave of Corebo, Braining paid close attention to matters related to the lost empire as always.

The furry bear, who looked inexplicably pulled here, replied sincerely: "I don't know."

Braining shook his head with regret and said:

"How could you not know? Didn't you read the galactic communication just sent by Farstrider? Then let me tell you."

With that said, the manager of the trading enclave began to recite passionately:

"We are the 'far travelers', a group of forwards who have shouldered the mission of countless compatriots and have gone through tens of millions of years to stand here."

"Young civilizations, if you want to walk with us, then accept this path."

"This is a possibility that has been confirmed by us personally. There is no doubt about its greatness. It can help you go further."

After finishing speaking, Braining pointed to a large screen in the room with bright eyes and showed the content to the bear.

"Have you seen this? This path of 'synthetic evolution' has been confirmed by the Far Traveler! With it, we may no longer be shackles by the physical body! Like those machines, we can enter the realm of immortality!"

He continued to talk about the benefits brought by this "synthetic evolution", as if he wished he could become one of them on the spot.

But Mao Xiong couldn't help but slandered in his heart: "...That's not what you said before..."

He knew that not long ago, his boss was complaining about the genius scientist in the Ming Bo technological dictatorship who "changed himself from a living thing to a machine", saying that the scientist's choice was not good and he was ruined.

The reason why Branning said this is also very embarrassing.

Just after the "synthetic evolution" scientist named Synthetic sparked a big discussion about this method of evolution, he himself quickly disappeared from the galaxy.

Not assassinated, nor dormant, but died of a funny accident.

Because after the consciousness data was transferred to the mechanical body, he began to actively use this digitalized consciousness to make some conveniences on the Internet. For example, a person pretended to be countless trolls to wash away his own reputation.

While browsing some forums, he unfortunately infected his mechanical body with an electronic virus. This small problem was not a problem at all for this talented scientist.

However, he had a sudden idea and downloaded an anti-virus software to see what this "electronic war" was like from a data perspective.

The result was very gratifying, he witnessed an unspeakable war; the result was also very speechless, because his consciousness data was attacked by anti-virus software as a virus.

Because it was his first time to become a mechanical life, he had not considered such a situation, and the protection of his consciousness was not enough. As a result, his consciousness data lost the battle with the anti-virus software and was "cleaned" out.

The great proposer of the "mechanical evolution theory" died just like one of those incredible accidents in the galaxy.

"Star Ocean World Records" engraved an achievement on him: the first being in the galaxy to fight to death with anti-virus software.

However, although this genius died in a funny accident, the discussion about "synthetic evolution" has never stopped.

These civilizations vaguely feel that this is indeed a feasible path, but they still lack more data support, and it is difficult to understand their understanding of "mechanical life".

Most civilizations are taking a cautious wait-and-see attitude towards this, hoping that someone who has eaten crabs will show them the world first.

As a result, the Milky Way seemed to have responded to their wishes. A lost empire that followed this path emerged and defeated another lost empire in the world.

Although these two lost empires seemed to be one family in ancient times, the path taken by this newly born "far traveler" seems to be the one they have been hesitating about.

Not only that, "Far Traveler" also shared this technology, so that they don't have to fumble on this road for too long.

This undoubtedly gives a huge impetus to all civilizations that want to take this path, because this is a path that can at least reach the realm of the "Lost Empire". Even some civilizations that are not optimistic about "synthetic evolution" have become very hesitant.

.

But of course, not all civilizations have changed due to the rebirth of the "Far Travelers". The idealistic civilizations still firmly believe that this is an act of collective suicide.

Some civilizations on the genetic path also follow the example of "presolin" and do not pay attention to this path of "synthetic evolution".

And some civilizations have different ideas. They don't want to abandon the physical body, but they are envious of the efficiency of the mechanical body, and at the same time they don't want to give up the path of spiritual energy and genes.

So they decided to gather the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and continue on the path of prosthetics. At the same time, they tried to contact spiritual energy to see if they could gain the favor of the virtual realm.

But no matter what, the changes in "Far Traveler" still brought many surprises to galactic civilizations, especially the unimagined path of "synthetic evolution", which has been officially included in the textbooks of civilization development.

As for whether they will take this path, it depends on their own choice.

Li Wenyuan saw the new changes in the Milky Way and thought it was a good sign.

Rebirth and destruction are the themes of the universe, but the civilizations in this small part of the Milky Way can obviously go further.

"...This can be regarded as a contribution to mankind, right? If they were allowed to explore on their own, there would be a rise and fall in the process..."

He took a look at the progress of the giant structure under construction, and then focused on the "Far Traveler".

He was a little bored during this period. The scientific research spacecraft flying all over the Milky Way did not find much interesting things, and Gray Wind was busy designing her "vassal civilization" and was often not at home.

The only one who can interest him is the "Far Traveler" who has just ended the "battle for the title".

This group of mechanical consciousnesses resurrected from ancient times are receiving the inheritance of their compatriots. They have easily repaired those gadgets that the original "Far Travelers" could not understand.

The three "lighthouses" that symbolized their faith and beliefs around the world have completely become a speck of dust in the vast sea of ​​​​stars due to various reasons. However, they did not feel sad about this, but continued to stand at the "source of knowledge".

"Above, look far into the future.

Stopping in one place cannot be called a "long journey". One day, they will leave here and leave their legends behind.

But now is not the time to "travel far away", they still have a lot of preparations to make. As time goes by, they are no longer what they used to be, and now they need more accumulation.

Regarding this group of special "mechanical consciousnesses", he was also curious about how far they could go.

This is a group of fearless people who abandoned their physical bodies and adopted mechanical bodies.

Their consciousness is not in a Gestalt state like real omnics.

They are connected to each other to some extent, but they also have independent individual consciousness. Although there are some changes in the way of thinking due to mechanical consciousness, it is generally not much different from their past.

Even the omnic civilization feels extremely conflicted about this new lost empire. They feel that these mechanical life forms should be their compatriots, but many differences are difficult for them to understand.

Now, by receiving the legacy of the "Far Traveler", they have discovered many secrets within the country, and quickly informed the "Guardian" of one of the most important places.

"'Database'?" Li Wenyuan received the news from "Far Traveler" and looked at everything about this planet in the virtual world.

"Yes," a "far traveler" continued: "Through the memory screening of our compatriots, the most important reason why they chose to settle here is that this planet is filled with ancient data libraries."

"They think this is the relic of the 'Apocalypse', but... after we checked it, we found that the technology used here is indeed very superb, but it is somewhat different from the 'Apocalypse' method. We would like to invite you to take a look.

"

"...Could it be related to humans?" Li Wenyuan thought in his mind and agreed to the request.

As long as it has something to do with humans, he must be involved. The former "Far Traveler" hid the news about this planet very well, and even he didn't know about it.

Fortunately, they did not expose this news, otherwise the former "Far Walker" would have been educated by him before the "Ancient Far Walker" could recover.

"I have visited the "Watchers" that have died and the "Silent Ones" that have left. There is nothing noteworthy about them. Will there be any "Far Travelers"?

With this idea in mind, Li Wenyuan controlled the scientific research spacecraft to the galaxy where the "database" was located.

The borders of "Far Traveler" are always open to him, and he can do whatever he wants inside.

After arriving at the "database" without any resistance, he quickly saw the ancient database covered with various vines and plants.

The Far Travelers did not clean up these plants. They were afraid that these plants were also related to the data recorded here, and cleaning them would cause damage to the database.

After a little inspection, Li Wenyuan found that these databases seemed to be in a strange state of "intersection of old and new".

The oldest data here is even stored in an extremely ancient transistor. You have to be careful even if you touch it. A slight vibration will cause the transistor to break and the data in it will be lost forever.

The advanced one was a strange storage device that even he couldn't figure out how to extract. Although it was simple, it had a sense of high-end that seemed to come from the further future.

With doubts, he carefully connected the drone to one of the ports that could be connected. This seemed to be proof that the "far traveler" had studied here.

Then he discovered that the accessible data encryption methods were indeed very strange. He thought this should be a human method, but after actually decrypting it for a while, he found that there was a big difference.

It's like there are many creatures that are very similar to humans in all aspects that have encrypted the information here. Even the methods are very similar, but it's just that it's completely impossible to decrypt it using the current methods, and it's like something specious.

Of course, he also found some things inside that were definitely left by humans.

It was a piece of data covered by a large number of seemingly messy characters, but after parsing those characters, what appeared was data encrypted by several "problems".

[This is a message encrypted by a genius girl "expert"! If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded! 】

【Please listen to the question:】

【1.Why don’t fish talk?】

[A. Because fish can’t speak in the first place B. Because the fish is in the fish tank]

【2.When does the clock stop running?】

[A. The clock will never run B. The clock will not run when it reaches the end]

【3.What is the animal closest to humans?】

【A. Parasites that live on humans B. Other humans】

These strange questions made Li Wenyuan fall into silence for a while.

The characters that encrypted this data will not destroy the data it protects just because his answer is wrong, but will return to a disordered state again, and these characters need to be decrypted again.

The former "Far Travelers" tried to decrypt it, but it took them a long time to decrypt these characters because they did not master human decryption methods. Naturally, they answered wrongly.

In view of the fact that the decryption of this thing took up too much computing power and time, the former "Far Traveler" gave up on it.

However, for Li Wenyuan, decrypting human encryption programs is only a matter of a moment, and these problems themselves are the key.
To be continued...
