Chapter 44: Emerald Mausoleum

"Have you heard? Recently, a nascent interstellar civilization calling itself Sechik has colonized the Holy Land!"

"Holy place? Where is the holy--you mean 'Watcher'?"

"Isn't it? I heard that there is something strange happening at the border of the 'Watcher', maybe they have already taken action!"

"Ouch, what a pitiful civilization..."

They said they were pitiful, but these discussants had no expressions of pity at all. Instead, they looked gloating.

For these veterans who have been in the interstellar space for a long time, what they are most happy to see is for various nascent interstellar civilizations to violate the "taboos" of this galaxy and then be beaten up.

Of course, the galaxy is not full of these fun-loving people.

There are also many civilizations that have suffered losses in the past, and have summarized these "taboos" and publicized them extensively in the galaxy, hoping to prevent these nascent interstellar civilizations from taking some detours.

But there will always be some unfortunate people in the world, or people who feel good about themselves, who try to violate these taboos.

Sechik is such a civilization.

Due to the innate "intelligence" of their race, their civilization has successfully developed into space without experiencing any obstacles.

They feel good about themselves and even think that they are the first race to enter the universe, which makes people wonder whether their "intelligence" has been artificially transformed into "arrogance".

All in all, out of arrogance and curiosity, they included a "Holy Land" planet into their colonial territory.

And this "Holy Land" planet is called the "Emerald Tomb" in the galaxy.

"——'Emerald Tomb'?" Li Wenyuan, who was busy, stopped what he was doing, looked at the information presented by his archaeologists, and showed a thoughtful expression.

According to the information they unearthed from the ruins, humans left something very, very important somewhere, so much so that there is now an unusually shining dot marking a galaxy on his star map.

The content of the information was unclear, like the ramblings of a madman. Apart from the coordinates of the planet, no useful information could be extracted at all.

The coordinates of that planet were also very familiar to Li Wenyuan, who had gradually become familiar with the information about the Milky Way. It was the Holy Land of the "Watchers" of the Lost Empire - the Emerald Tomb.

"Why are you in this place..." He frowned in the virtual space, trying to deduce the possibility from the incomplete information, but in the end he found nothing.

He knew that human beings must have interacted with "idealism" in the past, because now among the necessary conditions for restarting those ancient facilities on the earth, "Zero", a special gas that can be used correctly by an idealistic civilization, is one of them.

But when "Watchmen" are involved, things become more complicated.

As one of the oldest existing civilizations, "Watchers" are also an unknown level in the galaxy.

Apart from knowing that it is an extremely idealistic civilization, very little information has been released.

Those "holy places" located near its territory were only gradually confirmed which planets they were after countless civilizations "personally tested" them.

However, over a long period of time, other civilizations in the galaxy have also tested the "Watchers"'s tolerance for the "Holy Land" planet.

Just passing by there, or sightseeing in the "Holy Land" planet, or even declaring the entire galaxy as part of your territory will not attract punishment from the "Watchers".

However, once the "Holy Land" planet is colonized and the original ecology of the planet is destroyed, it will lead to a terrible attack by the "Watchers".

As for what will happen if the "Holy Land" planet is destroyed, no one knows.

"...No matter what, we still have to send people there to find out." After assessing the possible threat to him from exploring the "Emerald Tomb", Li Wenyuan decided to go explore it.

He didn't think he would come into conflict with the Watchers. There had been cases where tourists had visited the Holy Land with robot servants, so he had no problem letting the synths go there.

And it seems that there are important secrets about human beings hidden here. If he can really find something there, it will definitely be of great help to him.

After all, where exactly the humans in this galaxy have gone has been a mystery that has troubled him until now.

After thinking about it, Li Wenyuan's scientific research spacecraft carrying synthetic humans also quietly started its thrusters.

The "Watcher" territory is far away from him, and he has never been to the "Emerald Tomb". Without specific data there, he cannot directly use the jump engine to go there.

Fortunately, an interstellar civilization near him built a "star gate". In the space network connected to this star gate, there is an exit near the "Emerald Tomb".

This artificial wormhole-like fast passage allows him to quickly reach the Emerald Tomb.

Of course, he also disguised the spacecraft to a certain extent. With the help of the backdoor left in the Corebo network, he disguised the spacecraft signal as a member of this universal enterprise.

In this case, even if the spaceship is destroyed for some unknown reason, in the eyes of all civilizations, it is just a Keruibo spaceship that exploded, and he has nothing to do with it.

As a result, the "Krebo Spaceship" headed for the galaxy where the "Emerald Tomb" is located.

At this time, a one-sided "war" is taking place in this galaxy.

Not long after Sechik started colonizing the "Emerald Tomb", the "Watcher"'s punishment fleet suddenly arrived here.

As an "extreme idealistic civilization", even the "Watchmen" themselves actually use the fleet as a weapon of war. This is one of the reasons why materialist civilization generally hates idealistic civilization.

They think that idealistic civilization is a group of fools who are enjoying the dividends of "science" and still do not acknowledge the existence of science.

The idealistic civilization feels that the materialistic civilization is a group of fools who are trapped in their own world and are unwilling to accept the new world.

The two sides have been going back and forth, and have been quarreling in the galaxy for who knows how many years.

It wasn't until the last "scientific exchange meeting" that the two parties reluctantly sat down and discussed for a while, then they realized that the other party was a group of hopeless people, so they got into a fight at the meeting venue and broke up unhappy.

After that, most of the idealistic civilizations in the galaxy fell into silence, and seemed to want to do a whole lot of work to convince the materialistic civilization.

Materialistic civilization, on the other hand, sneered at this and said that "there is nothing to fear from the dancing of a group of magicians."

Move your gaze back to the galaxy where the "Emerald Tomb" is located.

There are a large number of battleship wreckage floating here. They have the same style and seem to come from the same civilization.

In the center of the galaxy, there is a fleet that is constantly overflowing with purple light.

This purple light comes from their shields and looks mysterious and ethereal.

A thin layer makes any shells, missiles, or lasers sink into the sea without stirring up a single wave.

The shapes of the individual fleets also look very dreamy, as if they come from a dream. There is reality in the illusion, making people unconsciously want to cast their eyes on them.

After the proud Sechik civilization was attacked by the "Watchers", it launched a nationwide counterattack.

They believe they have been invaded by aliens and vow to defend their colony.

They are naturally "intelligent" and are quite good at space combat. However, skills have no effect in the face of absolute power. Those battleship wreckage are the best proof.

In the end, after paying a heavy price and depleting almost all the resources of his home planet, Sechik finally realized his weakness and gave up the colony here in dejection, leaving the people who were still on the "Emerald Tomb"

Live and die on its own.

A new star that was supposed to rise on the galactic stage a hundred years later was delayed for hundreds, or even thousands of years.

The "Watcher" fleet did not clean up the Sechik people on the "Emerald Tomb". It seemed that they were not worried about how much impact the remaining people would have on the "Holy Land", and fully believed in the "self-regulation" ability here.

Not long after such a one-sided war ended, the scientific research spacecraft controlled by Li Wenyuan also arrived at the "Emerald Tomb".

This planet looks very beautiful and lush, even the Gaia planet where Bao is located is slightly inferior compared to this place.

However, it was such a planet that gave Li Wenyuan a strange sense of death.
