Chapter 18 Here comes a big guy!
"...Does it exist as a beacon?" This idea came to Li Wenyuan's mind.
The ruins in front of me are too special. There is nothing inside, and it seems to be just a large landmark.
"If you think about it this way, it seems to be very suitable to exist as a beacon. With such a large surface area, there must be quite a lot of signals that can be received..."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and at the same time, the group of aliens started discussing it again.
"...Resurrection of the dead sounds like a fantasy, but with the technology of that lost civilization, it may not be impossible."
"If this is the case, then there should be some activation method that we don't know about in this ruins, and we might be able to use this to resurrect Fatty."
"Having said that, we assume that these two ruins come from the same civilization. What if they are actually from different civilizations? In this case, all previous conclusions can only be overturned."
These concluding words caused everyone present to fall into deathly silence. After a while, Cowper finally spoke:
"...I actually have a hunch that these two ruins should be created by the same civilization."
"Premonition? This kind of illusion that has been falsified for a long time can still be said by you? We need more scientific basis, not idealistic 'feeling'." The young man habitually mocked Cowper.
But when it fell into Li Wenyuan's ears, it gave him new inspiration.
"Idealistic? Speaking of which, I remember that there are a lot of damaged facilities on this planet that need to be repaired by 'Zero'... Isn't this something only used by the idealistic civilization?"
“Have humans finally embarked on the path of idealism?”
Li Wenyuan thought for a while and put a question mark for the time being.
He heard that idealists extremely hate "artificial intelligence" and believe that it is tarnishing the sacred "consciousness".
So what's going on with his own "custodial matrix" artificial intelligence?
He temporarily recorded the unreasonable thoughts in his notepad, and now he decided to use Zero to try it in this ruins, maybe it could trigger something.
Therefore, 95% of the canned Zero stored in the storage warehouse was brought over by the synthesizers under his order, and only a little used to repair the "Dimension Making Machine" remained.
The synthesizer with Zero was flying towards the Inverted Pyramid at dozens of times the speed of sound. Even if it had to circle half the earth, it didn't take long to reach the top of the Inverted Pyramid.
Li Wenyuan first released a little Zero on the huge plane at the top of the inverted pyramid, but the purple gas quickly floated into the sky and disappeared without a trace, failing to make any new discoveries for him.
Immediately afterwards, he released Zero again around the inverted pyramid, but the result was the same, there was no reaction.
Finally, he brought Zero into the inside of the inverted pyramid and slowly opened the container.
The purple misty gas gradually rose up and soon touched the weathered limestone wall.
Then, a magical scene happened.
Like water meeting a sponge, Zero gas poured into the limestone crazily.
The amount of one can disappeared even before Li Wenyuan could react, leaving only an empty shell.
The next moment, the weathered rock seemed to be injected with life, emitting a faint purple light, and quickly spread to the entire rock wall through the connected gaps, and soon the inside of the inverted pyramid turned into a luminous body.
Such an astonishing scene not only shocked Li Wenyuan, but also panicked the aliens.
"What happened? Did someone flip a switch?"
Purple light instantly illuminated the space deep in the ruins, and strange lines slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes under the light.
The intricate network forms a huge star map, with hundreds of millions of light points representing star systems scattered across it. Some of them are particularly bright, which seems to indicate what is there in this place.
"Is this... a star map of this Milky Way?" Cowper looked at this three-dimensional figure in disbelief, and was shocked by its level of detail.
Li Wenyuan's pupils shrank sharply and he quickly entered the star map into the database.
At the same time, the top plane of the inverted pyramid also slowly opens.
The ruins that no one knew how to open became operational again.
Sunlight shined into the interior of the ruins through the opening, but the starlight spots quickly dissipated one by one as if they had been confirmed. In the end, only an inconspicuous small spot of light remained, still shining slightly.
Inexplicably, Li Wenyuan felt that this light spot represented the solar system.
The aliens also started making wild guesses at this moment.
"This ruins seems to be activated! What will happen?"
"Maybe we should find a safer place to stay. I didn't see the black fog!"
It seemed that someone wanted to leave the ruins, but the old professor shouted:
"I will never leave here!" At this time, his eyes were red, even if he looked directly at the sun, he still wanted to see the sky.
"I have been studying alien ruins for half my life. This is the first time I have seen a successfully activated ruin. No matter what consequences it will bring, I must witness it with my own eyes. Even if it costs me my life!" The old professor said for the third time.
Once upon a time, he showed his madness towards the ruins.
Cowper also didn't move, his instinct told him not to miss this moment.
At this time, a large number of notifications also appeared in the virtual world where Li Wenyuan was located.
[Announcement from the automatic defense system]
[Strong subspace fluctuations detected]
[Notice from the deep space listening station]
[Strong subspace fluctuations detected]
…
There are a lot of them, but without exception they all "detected strong subspace fluctuations."
And surprisingly, none of the subsystems issued "alerts", all were "notifications", as if they were already familiar with this subspace fluctuation.
The next moment, it was sunny daytime one second, and it was dark night the next second.
There was no light in the thick ink sky, as if a giant beast had swallowed up all the stars, plunging the earth into an endless night.
"...Why did the sky suddenly turn black? Isn't the effect of this ruins not to resurrect the dead, but to change the day and night of the planet?"
Someone in the ruins raised a question. At this time, the only light was the bright inner wall and the small star system on the star map that had almost disappeared.
"...No," Cowper said suddenly, with an indescribable shock in his eyes.
"It's not that it's dark... but that something has come here and blocked the entire sky..."
…
[This is subspace mobile fleet combat ai]
[The connection with the guardianship matrix has been reestablished, and control is now handed over to the guardianship matrix]
…
[Mobile combat module is online]
[Guardianship matrix completion completed: 35%]
[More guardianship rights have been opened]
Li Wenyuan stared at the ridiculously large "ship" model in the database, not thinking that its "maneuverability" had anything to do with it.
Chapter completed!
