Li Wenyuan saw the new changes in Milky Way and felt that it was a good sign.
New life and destruction were the main themes of the universe, but the civilizations in this small place like the Milky Way could go further.
“This can be considered the credit of humans, right? If they were allowed to explore by themselves, then the process would be a rise and fall again…”
He glanced at the progress of the construction of the megastructure before turning his attention to the Voyager.
He had been a little bored during this period of time. The research spaceships that flew around the galaxy didn’t find anything interesting, and Gray Wind was busy designing her vassal civilization, so she was often not around.
The only thing that interested him was the Voyager who had just emerged victorious in the glorious showdown.
This group of mechanical consciousnesses that had been revived from ancient times was receiving the legacy of their compatriots. They easily repaired the things that the original Voyager couldn’t understand.
The three Beacon circular worlds that symbolized their beliefs had completely become a speck of dust in the vast galaxy for various reasons. However, they were not sad about it but continued to stand on the Source of Knowledge and look into the future.
Staying in one place could not be called a voyage. One day, they would leave this place and leave behind their legends.
However, now was not the time to voyage. They still had a lot of preparations to make. With the passage of time, they were not as good as before. Now, they needed more accumulation.
He was also curious about how far this group of special mechanical consciousness could go.
This was a group of fearless people who had abandoned their physical bodies and adopted mechanical bodies.
Their consciousnesses were not in the Gestalt state like real artificial intelligence.
They were connected to each other to some extent, but they also possessed independent individual consciousness. Although their way of thinking had changed due to their mechanical consciousness, they were generally not much different from their past.
Even the artificial intelligence civilization felt extremely conflicted about this new lost empire. They thought that these mechanical lives should be their compatriots, but there were many differences that they could not understand.
Now, through receiving the inheritance of the Voyager, they had discovered many secrets within the country and quickly informed the Administrator of the most important place.
“Archives?” Li Wenyuan received a message from the Voyager and looked at the virtual world to see everything about the planet.
“Yes,” a Voyager continued. “After screening the memories of their compatriots, the most important reason why they chose to settle here is this planet filled with ancient archives.”
“They think that this is the ruins of the Enlightened Ones, but… After we checked, we found that the technology used here is indeed very advanced, but it’s a little different from the methods of the Enlightened Ones. We would like to invite you to take a look.”
“Could it be related to humans?” Li Wenyuan thought about it and agreed to this request.
As long as it was related to humans, he would definitely participate. The former Voyager had hidden the news of this planet very well. Even he did not know.
However, it was fortunate that they did not expose this information. Otherwise, before the ancient Voyager could recover, the former Voyager would have been taught a lesson by him.
“I’ve gone to their countries to take a look at the already deceased Watcher and the departed Silent. There’s nothing noteworthy about them. Would the Voyager have anything?”
With this thought in mind, Li Wenyuan controlled the research spaceship to the galaxy where the archives were located.
The border of the Voyager was always open to him. He could do whatever he wanted inside.
After arriving at the database without any resistance, he quickly saw the ancient archives that were covered in all kinds of vines.
The Voyagers didn’t clean up the plants. They were afraid that the plants were related to the data recorded here, and cleaning them up would cause damage to the database.
After a brief inspection, Li Wenyuan realized that the database seemed to be in a strange state of old and new.
The oldest information here was stored in an extremely ancient type of crystal. Even touching it had to be done carefully. A slight vibration would cause the crystal to break and the data inside would be lost forever.
The most advanced one was the strange storage device that even he could not understand how to extract. Although it was simple, it had a sense of advanced quality that seemed to come from a distant future.
With doubts, he cautiously connected the drone to one of the ports that could be connected. This seemed to be proof that the former Voyager had studied here.
Then, he realized that the encryption methods that he could access were indeed very strange. He thought that this should be a human method, but after actually deciphering it for a while, he realized that there was a big difference.
It was as if there were many lifeforms that were very similar to humans in all aspects who encrypted the information here. Even though the methods were very similar, it was impossible to decipher them with the current method. It was like something that was not right.
Of course, he also found some things that were left behind by humans.
It was a piece of data covered by a large number of seemingly messy characters, but after analyzing those characters, what appeared was data encrypted by a few problems.
[ This is a message encrypted by the female genius specialist! There will be a reward if you answer correctly! ]
[ Please listen to the question: ]
[ 1. Why aren’t the fish talking? ]
[ A. Because fish can’t talk B. Because the fish is in the fish tank ]
[ 2. When does the clock stop ticking? ]
[ A. The clock never goes B. The clock won’t run when it reaches the end ]
[ 3. Which animal is closest to humans? ]
[ A. Parasites that parasitize humans B. Other humans ]
These strange questions made Li Wenyuan fall into silence.
The characters that encrypted the data would not destroy the data it protected because of his wrong answer. It would just return to the disordered state again, and these characters would need to be deciphered again.
The former Voyagers had tried to decipher it, but it took them a long time to decipher the characters without mastering the human deciphering method. In the end, they were naturally wrong.
Due to the fact that deciphering this thing took up too much computing power and time, the former Voyagers gave up on it.
However, for Li Wenyuan, deciphering the encryption program of humans was only a matter of an instant. These questions themselves were the key.
He remembered the way humans had always been entertaining people, so he answered these questions in a brain teaser manner.
But to his surprise, the human was particularly serious this time. The real answer was three B’s.
“Unbelievable.” He felt that he was about to come into contact with something deeper.
The encryption was complete. Hidden under the problem was a technology that had appeared in his technology tree before.
[ Curtain Theory ]
[ Technology Level: 9 ]
[ Introduction: Secrets have always been an important part of the galaxy. No one wants to see the situation of AF’s lack of freshwater resources repeat itself in the galaxy. Our theory has given us a new idea. Perhaps we can build a vast secret project that can cover galaxies and even the entire universe. In this way, we will have time and opportunity to do our own things. ]
