Chapter 73 The Lost Empires
Just like the "Watchers" have a taboo against colonizing the "Holy Land Planet".
The lost empires in the galaxy more or less have their own taboos, and those who violate them must be prepared to bear the punishment from the lost empire.
The same is true for the "Silent Ones". As a lost empire with the least communication with the galaxy, everything about them is almost unknown to young civilizations.
They don't issue tasks like "Observers", nor do they improve indigenous civilization like "Watchers" and "Far Travelers". They seem to be forever immersed in their own world and don't pay attention to the outside world at all.
But even in such a lost empire, there is something annoying, and that is "violating the border".
The "Silent Ones" pay special attention to their own territory and will never tolerate any border contact.
In the Milky Way, any border galaxy connected to their galaxy by a hyperspace channel needs to be in a state of unmanned control.
Many people have speculated on why they formed such a "taboo", but in the end they found nothing.
As for how this "taboo" was discovered, we have to start with a very unlucky civilization.
This civilization sounds very familiar. They are—
"——The Fire Alliance actually has such a history?" Li Wenyuan looked at this information with great interest.
Because the "Silent One" took action, he, who was also a member of the Lost Empire, simply looked at the history related to it in the current galaxy.
And a long part of it comes from an interstellar civilization that is very active now, and that is the Fire Alliance.
In the past, Li Wenyuan only knew that they had experienced a catastrophe, and it took them much longer than other civilizations to stand on the interstellar stage.
But now it seems that that "catastrophe" actually came from the "Silent Ones".
"...I didn't expect there to be such an unlucky civilization in the world..." After reading the record, he couldn't help but sigh.
There is indeed no interstellar civilization more unlucky than them. As soon as they touch the starry sky, they find themselves in the border area of the "Silent Ones".
When the Fire Alliance was still aboriginal, they discovered early on that there was a mysterious interstellar civilization around them, and they could even communicate directly with each other through hyperspace channels.
So after the Fire Alliance developed the first hyperspace engine, they excitedly wanted to say hello to their neighbors.
However, they did not expect that this neighbor was the "Silent One" who was very sensitive to their own borders. Before they had time to show off their skills in the interstellar world, they received a warning from the "Silent One":
"Don't violate our borders, little one. You can choose to go back to the age of ignorance, or live on a different planet within 10 years. If you exceed the deadline, we will clear the borders."
The Fire Alliance, which had not yet had time to explore the star sea, was greatly shocked by this. They sent messages to inquire about the "Silent One" many times, but did not receive any answer.
Of course they knew that their "neighbor" had unfathomable technology, and they would never be their opponents in a real fight.
But 10 years was too short, they only had time to send a batch of fire to the distant stars, and the purge came.
The ancient fleet destroyed the space station they had worked so hard to build and blocked their technology with precision, leaving only an indigenous civilization that had regressed for hundreds of years.
And those wandering "fires" struggled in the starry sea for hundreds of years before they found a suitable habitable place and spent a long time stepping into the starry sky again.
The current Fire Alliance once quietly returned to the home planet to explore, but sadly found that it had returned to the war-torn era, and had even forgotten that such a group of "Sparks" were still wandering outside.
Then they, this group of "Sparks", decided to call themselves the "Spark Alliance" and stand on the galactic stage in place of their former home planet.
Assuming that they were not very unfortunate to be born in the border star system of the "Silent Ones", then the current Fire Alliance should be a powerful interstellar civilization.
Because of such encounters, they are very keen on saving indigenous civilizations and popularizing interstellar knowledge to them.
Only then did other civilizations in the galaxy know that the "Silent Ones" had such taboos.
As for the wormhole that brought disaster to Pechichiti, that was because the Mingbo technological dictatorship had long ago discovered that the wormhole led to the territory of the "Silent Ones".
Will the "Silent Ones" who don't even allow the border to be violated, will they allow civilization to come and go freely within their territory through wormholes?
Uncle Ming obviously understood this truth in an instant, and immediately vacated the wormhole galaxy, waiting for some complacent "destined person" to come here and cause trouble.
But Pechichiti, who was in great power for a while, was deceived like this, and the "Silent One" gave them a hard education.
Now they have completely lost the arrogance they had at the beginning, and even their usable fleet has been destroyed with very little left.
The short-lived alliance formed by Mingbo and several other civilizations also declared war on Pechichiti at the right time, preparing to plunder all the production capacity of this racially obsessive civilization before the arrival of the Iron-Hearted Exterminator.
Although Pechi Chitti is a germaphobe, their machines and factories are not a germaphobe, and their species itself can also be used for many purposes through genetic modification.
So this extreme civilization called "Pechchiti" disappeared into the sea of stars, and no one will remember them.
In the dark market of the galaxy, this kind of lizardman race is often sold to various parts of the galaxy as a tradable "resource".
Those who can stand on the stage now are all kinds of winners, while the losers have been swept into the garbage heap of history.
After closing the Xinghai information window, Li Wenyuan fell into deep contemplation.
This is the first time he has witnessed the process of a civilization from its emergence to its demise in this universe for so long.
Even though this was a racially obscene civilization that did not deserve sympathy, he still felt a sense of worry.
Not from other civilizations, but from that threat that even humans cannot fully deal with.
Worldwide's production capacity has begun to take effect, and his current condition is better than ever, but this is far from enough.
"...We must prepare early. Accepting the human heritage completely is only the first step...I hope we can find some traces." Li Wenyuan once again determined his goal.
The changes in the "Mechanical Lost Empire" did not attract much attention. The current galactic civilization has become accustomed to scientific research spacecraft from the "Guardians" flying everywhere.
Although they know what the "Guardian" seems to be looking for, it doesn't have much to do with them.
The new "Nano Lost Empire" that appeared not long ago only caused a brief shock, and then returned to calm.
Because galactic civilizations discovered that the Nano Lost Empire, which calls itself the "Coordinator", has banned almost all civilizations from entering that special star gate, except for the mechanical Lost Empire.
Although little is known about the "Coordinators" and "Guardians", the galaxy has never stopped gossiping about these two "lost empires of robots".
The most widely circulated theory is that they were created by the same ancient civilization. The reason is that the individual nanorobots in "Nano Lost Empire" and the individual robots in "Machine Lost Empire" are very similar in appearance.
However, these two ancient robot civilizations had to be separated for some reason, and could only meet each other for a short period of time when the star gate was opened.
As a result, various indescribable epic operas were circulated. Li Wenyuan nearly embarrassed himself after watching them, but Hui Feng was very happy to watch them.
In addition, the "observers" still maintain an attitude of enthusiastic but never participating bystanders. Apart from searching for "magical creatures", there is little news about them in the interstellar world.
After the "Silent One" caused heavy damage to Pechichiti, he fell into silence again, ignored foreign objects, and was unable to communicate if he wanted to.
"Far Traveler" will still occasionally ask young civilizations for talented scientists, and will not return them. But interstellar civilizations will regard this as an honor.
What does this mean? It shows that our education is good! What is the concept of scientists who can even take a fancy to the lost empire and come here to ask for it?
Therefore, some good people specially made a "genius list" to record the scientists who have been asked to leave by "far travelers" over the years.
Only scientists who are on this list can be called "geniuses", and everyone else can only be inferior.
In addition to these lost empires, there is still the idealistic lost empire of "Watchmen".
The news that their "prophet" had run away was widely circulated in the idealistic civilization, but the "Watchers" did not react too much and remained calm.
But this kind of calmness gives people a feeling that a storm is about to come.
Li Wenyuan's scientific research spacecraft once again came to the border area of "Watcher" for the purpose of searching for human remains.
Since the last time he came to the "Emerald Tomb", he thought he would never interact with this lost empire again, but now he must.
His target is another "holy planet" called the "Walled Garden".
At present, there are two "holy land planets" that are related to humans, and Li Wenyuan is already thinking about whether the third holy land planet also has any relics.
So, does the "Watcher" who regards these three planets as holy places have anything to do with humans?
