The mobile energy source on this last planet looked strange, and Li Wenyuan also increased his vigilance.

"...Is there anyone alive? Is it the 'Ashe' in the incomplete records?"

He had naturally read the information in the last record, and combined with the previous words, he could roughly restore the ending of this group of nanorobots.

At first, the "Gate Builders" didn't know what they did to cause these nanorobots to go out of control. After a long process of remediation, they decided to block themselves and the out-of-control nanorobots in this "distant star cluster", and then fight to the death.

As a result, the "Gate Builders" failed, and the entire civilization dissipated in the wind, leaving only these out-of-control nanorobots and the locked star gates left in the galaxy.

But these out-of-control nanorobots gradually developed wisdom during the long period of confinement.

Maybe it's because of boredom, maybe it's because of curiosity.

These nanorobots disguised themselves as the civilization of their creators and established a fake "Desanu Consortium", waiting for someone to open the stargate leading here from the outside.

One day, the door was indeed opened, and the bored nanobots immediately greeted it enthusiastically, wanting to see what the Milky Way outside looked like.

It's a pity that the person who opened the door was not very "friendly", maybe because their poor imitation was noticed.

All in all, these nanorobots were asked about their pain points and launched an attack in anger.

Then they were beaten up and almost followed their creator into the dust of history.

Li Wenyuan guessed that the civilization that taught these nanorobots a lesson was probably humans. After all, various clues pointed out that the "gate builder" met humans when building the star gate and had a certain degree of contact.

In that era when there were not even a few natives living in heaven, he felt that only humans could have such fighting power.

However, humans at that time did not choose to destroy all these nanorobots. Instead, they blocked the door again, as if they wanted these nanorobots to calm down.

Then in this level, I don’t know how many years have passed, even humans themselves have disappeared, and it seems that they have forgotten about the "distant star cluster".

And these nanorobots may have found a suitable path through constant self-reflection and self-evolution.

At first, they may have been trying to create organic life. The incomplete records mentioned that they created a "behemoth", but Li Wenyuan was not sure what it was.

With constant trial and error and deduction, these nanorobots finally merged all their thoughts into one consciousness and achieved their results.

——The nanorobot aggregate named "Grey" is wandering on the surface of the planet.

Li Wenyuan's scientific research spacecraft has already approached the planet full of nanorobots, and quickly uploaded the images captured by the drone to the spacecraft.

The content of the picture also surprised Li Wenyuan slightly:

A "human woman" is walking in an almost vacuum planet environment without any protective equipment or life support equipment.

Even when he was directly exposed to cosmic radiation, he did not show any discomfort and still lived very comfortably.

Li Wenyuan, who had known for a long time that "Hui" was a super life form, didn't care much about her being able to move around in the cosmic environment. What surprised him was that "Hui" took the form of a human being!

Obviously the civilization that was recorded as beating up those nanobots was humans, otherwise there would be no reason why a guy who had been locked up in a "distant star cluster" for at least a million years would adopt a human appearance.

This nanorobot aggregate noticed the approach of the drone, but she did not show surprise, but looked bored.

"Hello, dear compatriots. How are you all doing? Well...I don't have any interest in playing right now. If you have anything to say, I will wait until my sleep cycle is over."

The signal she conveyed was translated to mean this, and Li Wenyuan was confused... What was this talking about?

Before he could take further action, the nanorobot aggregate realized something, and then looked at the drone in the sky in surprise.

"Ah! Did I make a mistake? Wait a minute... let me think about it first... ah, yes. Hmm."

"Sorry, I thought it was a toy that I split off, but then I remembered that I haven't played with it like this for a long time."

"That's right, it's obvious that I am not a 'human' at all, nor a living thing, nor even one of you. Tell me, what do you want?"

The mental state of such a nanorobot aggregate seems to be abnormal. It may be that she was born like this, and there is a certain degree of confusion in her speech.

However, Li Wenyuan still noticed that she seemed to know "human beings" and she acted like an object of communication.

So after thinking for a while, Li Wenyuan decided to continue asking step by step: "Please identify yourself first."

"Identity? Well, I thought you should be able to judge something when you see these things around you. Where should you start?"

"What a bother. In short, we are a group of nanorobots called the 'Gray Storm' by our creators. We destroyed our creators and then conducted a series of experiments over a long period of time."

"I am the result of our experiment. Now the entire 'Gray Storm', or whatever you want to call it, has gathered on me. My consciousness represents our entire civilization."

"As for my appearance... it's because a civilization that called itself 'human' once came here and left behind some... very enlightening things."

"I liked one of the games called "xxx" very much, so I designed my appearance to be an existence similar to me on the inside."

"Ahem, why are you talking about so many irrelevant things? Is it because I haven't talked to anyone other than myself for a long time? I believe you won't mind me talking to myself like this, right?"

She said a lot of things, which although seemed irrelevant to her, were very important in Li Wenyuan's eyes.

"It is indeed a human being. It is really rare to see someone who has personally witnessed the existence of a human being."

He was thinking to himself, and just as he was about to continue asking, he saw this nanorobot aggregate looking around, seemingly eagerly.

"……What are you looking at?"

"Now that you have entered this place, it means that it is no longer closed, right? I have to admit that I have been bored with the pastoral life here recently."

"Now that the star gate to the outside world is open again, maybe I should be exposed to some new things. Do you have any suggestions?"

Want to go out?

Li Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was unwilling to let her go. Not to mention whether these nanorobots were still threatening now, the fact that she might know many things from ancient times was enough to attract Li Wenyuan's attention.

As for how to make her stay...

Seeing that she had not shown any danger until now and was curious about everything in the outside world, Li Wenyuan's eyes flickered and he said directly:

"You can join us. I think I can help you understand the outside world better."

"Well, join...wait? Join you? Join you? You want me to fall into the arms of some alien civilization I'm meeting for the first time? I really...I just...wait, let me make this clear!"

"Do you really think I will swear allegiance to you? Even though I know nothing about your weird empire and the history behind it? Are you kidding me?"

"You would actually make such a suggestion. I really don't know what you are thinking... uh... actually... then I thought about it, okay, what's wrong?"

"Let me join, seriously! I feel like we'll hit it off! And it's going to be an exciting interstellar adventure! I'll be loyal to you for the next 2,000 years. No, 5,000 years!"

"

He really deceived her... ah no, she was persuaded...

Li Wenyuan didn't expect that the nanorobot aggregate would agree so easily, so that all the excuses he had thought up in advance were useless.

Sure enough, her current mental state is not normal. Is it because she has been locked up in the "Distant Star Cluster" for too long?

However, he still remains wary of this nanorobot aggregate for the time being. After all, her predecessor was an existence that once destroyed her creator.

Even if you seem to have changed your past, you still need to pay attention.

After temporarily breathing a sigh of relief, Li Wenyuan also asked her name:

"How should I call you? Just 'Grey'?"

"Name? It doesn't matter. Let's go on a thrilling alien adventure!"

"...Since your creator calls you 'Gray Storm', let's call you 'Grey Wind'."

"Grey Wind? Not bad, let's get started!"
