Capítulo 19: A Huge Creature has Come
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"... Does it exist as a beacon?" This thought came to Li Wenyuan's mind.
This ruin was just too special. There was nothing inside as if it was just a large landmark.
"If I think about it this way, it does seem to be very suitable as a beacon. With such a large surface area, I'm sure it can receive a lot of signals..."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. At the same time, the group of aliens began to discuss again.
"... Resurrecting the dead sounds like a fantasy, but it might not be impossible with the technology of the lost civilization. If that's the case, there must be some activation method in this ruin that we don't know about. We might be able to use it to resurrect fatty."
"Even so, we are assuming that these two ruins come from the same civilization. What if they actually belong to different civilizations? If that's the case, we can only overturn all the previous conclusions."
Cooper's concluding words caused everyone present to fall into a dead silence. After a while, he said again, "To be honest, I have a premonition that these two ruins should have come from the same civilization."
"A premonition? How can you say such words when such feelings have long been proven wrong? We need more scientific evidence, not some idealistic feeling," the young man mocked Cooper out of habit.
But when Li Wenyuan heard such words, it gave him new inspiration.
"Idealistic? Speaking of which, I remember that there are a lot of damaged facilities on this planet that need to be repaired by Czero... Isn't that something only idealistic civilizations use? Could it be that humans ultimately embarked on the path of idealism?" Li Wenyuan thought for a moment and put a question mark on such a theory.
He had heard that the idealists hated artificial intelligence to the extreme, thinking that it was defiling the sacred consciousness.
If that was the case, what was up with him, an AI called the administration matrix?
He jotted down the thoughts that he couldn't figure out in his notebook. At this point, he decided to try using Czero in the ruins. Maybe he could trigger something.
With that, 95% of the Czero in the storage was brought over by the synthetic humanoids under his command. The remaining 5% was left to repair the dimensions creation device.
The synthetic humanoids carrying Czero approached the pyramid at ten times the speed of sound. Even though they had to travel to the other side of the planet, it did not take long for them to reach the top of the pyramid.
Li Wenyuan first released a little Czero on the huge plane at the top of the inverted pyramid, but the purple gas quickly floated into the sky and disappeared without a trace. He didn't find anything new.
Then, he released Czero around the pyramid, but the result was the same. There was no reaction.
In the end, he brought Czero into the inverted pyramid and slowly opened the container.
The purple gas floated and soon touched the weathered limestone walls.
Then, a miraculous scene happened.
Like water meeting a sponge, the Czero gas gushed into the limestones.
Before Li Wenyuan could even react, the Czero gas in one can was all gone, leaving only an empty can.
The next moment, the weathered rock seemed to be injected with life, emitting a faint purple light, which spread through the connected gaps and quickly spread to the entire rock wall. Soon, the inside of the inverted pyramid became a luminous object.
This shocking scene not only shocked Li Wenyuan but also made the aliens panic.
"What happened? Did someone activate some sort of switch?"
The purple light instantly lit up the space deep in the ruins, and a strange path slowly appeared in front of everyone under the light.
The intricate network formed a huge star map, with hundreds of millions of light spots representing galaxies all over it. Some of them were especially bright as if indicating that there was something in this place.
"This is... The star map of the Milky Way?" Cooper looked at the 3D map in disbelief. He was shocked by the details.
Li Wenyuan's pupils constricted as he quickly entered the star map into the database.
At the same time, the top of the inverted pyramid slowly opened.
The ruins, which no one knew how to activate, began to operate again.
The sunlight shone into the ruins through the opening. Then, the stars quickly dissipated as if they had been confirmed. In the end, only a small, unremarkable light spot was left, still shining.
For some reason, Li Wenyuan felt that this light spot represented the solar system.
The aliens were also making wild guesses at this moment.
"The ruins seem to have been activated! What's going to happen?"
"Maybe we should find a safer place to hide. I don't see the black mist!"
Some seemed to want to leave the remains, but the old professor shouted, "I will never leave this place!"
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot. Even if he had to look directly at the sun, he still wanted to see the sky.
"I've studied extraterrestrial ruins for half my life, and this is the first time I've seen a successful activation of one. No matter what the consequences are, I must see them with my own eyes. Even if I have to pay with my life!" This was the first time the old professor showed his madness for the ruins.
Cooper also didn't move. His instinct told him that he couldn't miss this moment.
At the same time, a large number of notifications appeared in the virtual world where Li Wenyuan was located.
[Notification received from the automatic defense system]
[Strong sub-space fluctuation detected]
[Notification received from the deep-space surveillance station]
[Strong sub-space fluctuation detected]
...
The number of notifications was extremely high, but all of them read "strong sub-space fluctuations detected" without exception.
Surprisingly, none of the subsystems issued a "warning". They were all "notifications" as if they were already familiar with the sub-space fluctuation.
The next moment, the world fell into the night even though it had been sunny just a second ago.
No light could be seen in the sky that was as thick as ink. It was as if a giant beast had swallowed all the stars and plunged the earth into an endless night.
"Why did the sky suddenly turn dark? Could it be that the effect of this ruin is not to resurrect the dead, but to change the day and night of the planet?"
Someone in the ruins asked. At this time, the only light was the inner wall that was shining and the small star system on the star map that had almost disappeared.
"... No, " Cooper suddenly said, his eyes filled with shock, "The sky hasn't become dark... It's just that something has arrived and blocked the entire sky..."
...
[This is the sub-space mobile fleet combat AI]
[Established connection with the administration matrix. Now handing over control to the administration matrix.]
...
[Mobile combat module online]
[Completion of the administration matrix: 35%]
[More administrative rights have been granted.]
Dumbfounded, Li Wenyuan looked at the outrageously large "ship" model in the database. He didn't think it had anything to do with "mobility".
