Chapter 4: Where Are the Humans?
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
[The current energy production of the planet is 100000 energy units.]
[Energy consumption of the automatic defense system: 800 energy units.]
[Energy consumption of "data damaged" facilities: 72000 energy units.y]
...
[Current energy income: 50 units of energy]
Looking at the series of unknown things that consumed a lot of energy, Li Wenyuan felt a headache.
This was the energy that was keeping the planet's system running. He had to maintain the energy income at a positive value to ensure that the planet would not have too many problems, even if he had to shut down some other facilities.
He also tried to shut down the "data damaged" facilities only to be told that he did not have enough authority, which made him speechless.
"I have to find a way to increase the planet's energy production first. At the very least, we have to get those shut-down facilities to operate again," He thought hard and suddenly remembered the origin of these pirates.
They had been chasing after a cargo ship that had crashed here. A cargo ship... It should carry something useful, right?
Thinking of this, Li Wenyuan brought up an image.
A spaceship that had fallen apart and was still emitting thick smoke landed in an artificial forest. God knows how many things were left that could be rescued.
After Li Wenyuan issued the task to the synthetic humanoids, he turned the camera back to his "body".
The bodies of the lizardmen pirates had been disposed of. In addition to the robots that were repairing the ship, there was also a quite special existence here.
It was a humanoid creature with cat ears and a cat tail. At this moment, she was piously kneeling in front of a huge glowing ball, her hands clasped together as if she was praying.
She was the female furry that had been captured by the pirates. According to the pirates who had been interrogated, she was the target of their trip, a "cargo" hidden on the cargo spacecraft.
Before the cargo spacecraft crashed, she had tried to escape but was ultimately still caught by the Pirates. Then, by chance, she was saved by Li Wenyuan. Now, she seemed to think that there was a "God" on this planet who was protecting her.
In the virtual world, Li Wenyuan thought for a while and asked a synthetic humanoid to go get a small device.
"Put it on her."
Following his order, the synthetic humanoid placed an earmuff on the female furry's head.
This was something he had gotten from the pirates. It was said to be a "brainwave converter" that could read the thoughts of the target by translating the target's brain waves.
The pirates had been using it to obtain the information they wanted, but after Li Wenyuan easily deciphered it, he used it on the pirates instead.
Now, this female furry was the second user.
The synthetic humanoid's movement did not trigger any reaction from her. She continued to pray devoutly, completely unmoved by the outside world.
Li Wenyuan heard her thoughts.
"God bless. God bless..."
So she was really praying?
Li Wenyuan was slightly speechless, but there were some things he wanted to know through this female furry, so he cleared his throat, "Ahem..."
The praying female furry's eyes abruptly widened, and she pressed her hands on her eardrums. She looked around in shock as if she had heard something.
This was the second function of the "brainwave converter". It could also convert the received signals into brainwaves, allowing the user to directly "hear" other people's thoughts in their minds.
Under Li Wenyuan's control, the "brainwave converter" could already convert the digital signals he sent into information that could be understood by the brain, allowing him to communicate with different species.
"God... Is this the voice of God?" The female furry interpreted the voice in her mind as the words of God. In her mother planet, only God's chosen ones were lucky enough to encounter such a situation.
Li Wenyuan was silent for a moment. While lamenting that the female furry was clearly quite ignorant, he decided to correct her thinking a little.
If he could mobilize the reverence of the faithful, he would be able to obtain more information, right?
"...The gods have already been swept into the garbage dump of history. The only one here is the administrator," Li Wenyuan's voice was normal, but when it reached the female furry's heart, it was different.
What she heard was a thunderous voice. The owner of the voice seemed to have come from another world and had witnessed the beginning and end of the universe, possessing an indifferent calmness.
Such a majestic voice even made her lower her body and tense up, not daring to make any movements that might overstep her limit.
Originally, she wanted to try to pray for God's help, but now these unnecessary thoughts were thrown to the back of her mind, and only fear was left.
This was exactly what Li Wenyuan wanted. He didn't add a little "special effect" to his voice signal in vain, making it sound very magnificent.
"...God, ah no, Lord Administrator... Thank you for saving Lilian..." Lilian's voice was trembling in fear as she faced this mysterious yet powerful existence.
Meanwhile, Li Wenyuan was already thinking in his heart, "Lillian, huh? But this pronunciation sounds a little different from English... Is it an iteration over a long period?"
After a moment of thought, Li Wenyuan looked at the nervous Lilian through the vision of the synthetic humanoid and asked the question he was most concerned about, "Do you know...about "humans"?"
Lilian, who was listening to the "oracle" from the administrator, gradually revealed a blank expression.
...
After ordering a synthetic humanoid to bring Lilian away and settle her down, Li Wenyuan quickly flipped through the many red warnings in the virtual world.
Lillian, a female furry who looked very similar to humans, did not know of the existence of humans.
In other words, the female furry knew nothing about the humans that Li Wenyuan was familiar with.
It was as if she only looked like a human on the outside, but on the inside, she was a completely different species.
Then, on this planet that looked like the future of Earth from all aspects, where were the humans?
"Could it be that other monkeys in this universe have also evolved?" Li Wenyuan had thought of this before, but when he saw Lilian's cat ears and tail shaking from time to time, he quickly dismissed the idea.
He would rather believe that it was a creature that had been genetically modified and not evolved.
"Let me see... I've found it!" He pulled a red warning to the front. He had heard the contents of it in a flash in the beginning.
[Warning. The core database's power supply line has been destroyed. Please rebuild it as soon as possible.]
The core database stored all the secrets of the planet, but it had lost connection with Li Wenyuan due to the power supply interruption, and its energy consumption was an astronomical figure.
"If I can fully activate it, I might be able to understand everything, right?" Li Wenyuan's eyes flickered, and he placed this warning in an eye-catching position.
Right now, he was still powerless to do anything about it. He needed to shift his focus elsewhere.
"Hopefully the synthetic humanoids can bring me some good news..."
The scene on the screen spun and soon stopped to show a place under the sky that was covered in thick smoke.
A huge spaceship that took up an area of more than 20 football fields had crashed there. As it had fallen apart in mid-air, wreckage and debris were scattered in a radius of hundreds of kilometers, making it difficult for synthetic humanoids to search through.
As the synthetic humanoids toiled, valuable things were gradually extracted from the broken spaceship.
