Chapter 23: Coming Out of the Mountain in Ten Years
Ten years is extremely short on the scale of the universe, and it is no more than the blink of an eye for civilization.
No one could have imagined that in these ten years, a terrifying "civilization" was being born in a small galaxy located on the edge of the Milky Way.
…………
"Judging from the current damage, at least 20 'cannon fodder' are needed to explore this ruins."
"Why so many? Although the guardian has not restricted our use, we cannot squander his resources wantonly. We must reduce this number to single digits."
"In that case, we can only do our best... Do you still have the mental enhancement drugs you got last time?"
"That thing is a sample developed by the guardian. I begged him for those two pills with a proud face."
"What a pity. I want to experience that superhuman feeling again... Forget it, do you want to bet? I will enter the depths of the ruins before you do, and the losses will be smaller than yours!"
"Ha! Young people want to compete with an old man like me? Normally I would have to weigh it up, but after the consciousness is synchronized with the synthetic human, it is still unknown who will be better!!"
At the gate of a ruins, two aliens were laughing and making bets.
They are Cowper and Professor who have lived here for nearly ten years. In these ten years, they have indeed excavated many ruins, but they only account for 15% of the planet.
Even so, this 15% has brought many unimaginable benefits to Li Wenyuan.
Today is the day they launched the "O12 Regional Relics Excavation Project". In the past 10 years, excavation of relics has become a part of their lives.
From the beginning with a cautious attitude, to gradually letting go, and then to indulging in it.
They gradually became very happy and wished they could come here as soon as possible.
"Then get ready. After the ten-second countdown, we'll go in together." Cowper took the lead in putting a helmet-like instrument on his head, with a feeling of impatient urgency in his eyes.
The professor didn't say much and put on the same instrument.
After just a few seconds, the two synthetic humans not far away suddenly raised their heads. Humanized light shone in their supposedly godless prosthetic eyes.
This is the "consciousness synchronizer" developed for them by Li Wenyuan, which can synchronize the consciousness signal of the living body to the synthetic human, allowing the living body to control the synthetic human almost perfectly.
These alien archaeological experts couldn't put it down after trying it. The powerful feeling of "becoming" a synthetic human instantly made them obsessed with this feeling.
In addition, exploring these dangerous ruins after transforming into synthetic humans also gave them a huge sense of excitement.
All kinds of weird phenomena and dangers that could only be seen in movies and novels in the past can now be experienced by them personally.
Overcoming difficulties and discovering hidden truths and surprises brought by treasures are also spiritual spices.
The old professor has also explored many alien ruins, but now he just feels that the first half of his life was a waste of time, and he wishes he could have come here sooner.
The ruins he used to carefully control the drones to explore now seemed to him like child's play, and they were not interesting at all. They were not as good as "transforming" into a synthetic human and going on a thrilling first-person adventure here.
The two synthetic humans who had completed the alien consciousness synchronization glanced at each other, then took steps and disappeared into the ruins.
At this time, on the other side of the earth, in the huge "custody core", Li Wenyuan was thinking about something.
A string of data was neatly arranged in front of him, which was the result of his ten years of management.
[Planetary facility repair completed: Level 4 singularities in areas a91~a95; dimensional manufacturing machines in areas c2~c6; robot assembly factory in area r1; research center in area r10; planetary auxiliary control center in area r25...]
[Repair of space facilities completed: Qingtian Space Station; Wide Area Signal Interruption Station; Superlight Suppressor]
[Unmanned Fleet Size: Sky Veil Battleship × 1; Titan Battleship × 1; Battlecruiser × 25; Battleship × 10; Frigate × 200]
[Guardianship matrix completion completed: 45%]
…
In addition to these data, there are some results not shown.
For example, regarding technology, Li Wenyuan has researched almost all level 5 technologies, and has also successfully researched a small number of level 6 technologies. Thanks to these technologies, he has also come up with a lot of good things.
"...It has almost reached a bottleneck. Most research on level 6 technologies takes more than ten years to start, let alone those higher-level technologies that require hundreds or even thousands of years... Is it because the computing power of the scientific research area is no longer enough?
?”
Looking at the scientific research division that was already operating at full capacity, he felt a little helpless.
The research difficulty of these technologies has increased exponentially. At the beginning, the scientific research division could handle it easily, but now it is a little behind the times.
"We have to find a way to improve our scientific research capabilities... Should we go to other planets to build more scientific research zones, or build giant scientific research buildings on a planetary scale?"
"...But no matter what, we have to go to the stars again. As our hometown, the solar system cannot be too crowded, and there is no way to build everything here. We have to go to other galaxies for development..."
"So, am I qualified to stand on the interstellar stage now?"
Li Wenyuan's eyes flickered and he looked at the distant starry sky.
There, a fleet floated neatly in the void.
His ten years of production capacity have basically been used to build this fleet. He has always been insecure and urgently needs this kind of space defense force to eliminate possible invaders.
After repairing the "Qingtian Space Station" that crashed into the star, he found many construction blueprints for battleships.
They range from frigates less than a kilometer long to Titan battleships nearly a hundred kilometers long.
And he also built his first space fleet by referring to the drawings.
"...Let's go to Corebo and have a look. This time we should be able to make an accurate assessment of the current strength of interstellar civilization. If it is within an acceptable range, it can be expanded, otherwise many things will not be possible in the solar system...
"
Following his thoughts, a group of synthetic humans from the space station walked into a scientific research ship.
He doesn't plan to buy a lot of things. In this case, a scientific research ship with all functions is the best choice for exploring the universe.
Several frigates separated from the fleet and escorted the scientific research ship to the edge of the galaxy.
After leaving the sun's gravity well, they will start the hyperspace engine and head towards the Krebor trading enclave they have visited once before.
Lilian, who was doing her daily prayers, seemed to feel something and raised her head.
Her human face had not changed much in ten years, which once shocked Li Wenyuan.
Li Wenyuan took a piece of her hair for testing and found that her cells aged very slowly and regenerated at a terrifying rate, which meant that she would not show any significant changes in appearance for at least five hundred years.
After some inquiries, I learned that Lilian's race was born like this, and there were even people in her race who had lived for more than two thousand years.
Since then, Li Wenyuan has become more and more curious about her race and wants to go to her home planet to find out.
"I hope I can get some useful information during this outing. Otherwise, if I stay on Earth all the time, I will be bored..."
