Chapter 93: Ancient Memory (2)

There were only two guesses about this situation – cither the Administrator didn’t discover anything here, or the Administrator had already gained something and there was no need for him to continue staying here.
The explorers looked at each other and quickly approached the place where the Administrator had stopped to see if they could find anything.
Hence, while they were still fighting for the most advantageous position, one of Li Wenyuan’s research spaceships had already arrived at the Beacon of Eternity circular world.
’’As expected, this place was also blown up.”
As he had expected, the Beacon of Eternity had also suffered extremely serious damage. Li Wenyuan also felt that only such complete destruction could make the Voyagers move the entire country.
However, the circular world was much more severely damaged than the Beacon of Perpetuity.
When he was exploring the Beacon of Perpetuity, he could still see many large pieces of world fragments, but the Beacon of Perpetuity in front of him had been blown into small pieces.
Almost all the buildings on the surface had been flattened, and it was difficult to find any remnants of the ruins.
Then the Beacon of Infinity shouldn’t be spared either…The three circular worlds were all blown up, and the entire race had no choice but to move to another place to live…What did the Voyager encounter?”
In his confusion, his spaceship began to scan the fragments of the circular world, hoping to find something.
Although this place had been completely destroyed, the circular world was too huge. There were still some traces of the past.
He was lucky enough to find the remains of a few robots in a collapsed cave. However, they were different from the robots on the Beacon of Perpetuity that had chosen synthetic evolution.
These robots were more like the mechanical servants used by the current Voyager, They were simple robots that could not even be considered artificial intelligence.
They seemed to be carrying weapons. Judging from their posture, they should have been fighting before they stopped.
Li Wenyuan experimented with connecting to a few robot ports, but he found that they were completely damaged. There was not even a single record left.
In the end, he only managed to extract some useful information from a relatively well-preserved robot wreckage.
It was a video recording. Although the long period of time had distorted the image, the content could still be barely discerned.
The background was probably in this circular world. At that time, the circular world had not suffered any serious damage. One could vaguely see a large amount of flickering light in the background of the picture.
The audio had been lost from the video, so Li Wenyuan could only guess that it was the light from the explosion.
In addition, a large number of battleships could be seen flying over the circular world, as if they were rushing to a certain place.
Other than some minor differences, the style of these battleships was almost identical to the current Voyager.
However, they were not in the form of a fleet as usual. Instead, they seemed to be advancing one after another, as if they had just been produced in the dock and were heading to the front line.
Soon, Li Wenyuan understood why.
In the beginning, the battleships could still be seen flying into the distance, but gradually, they began to be destroyed halfway. It seemed that the front line of the war had already been pushed into the circular world.
Later on, the number of times the battleship appeared in the image became loss and less. In fact, the moment it appeared in the sky, it was destroyed by a beam of light from afar.
In the end, the battleships could no longer be seen. Only the light beams that filled the sky were still interweaving.
At this moment, the frontline of the war spread to the circular world. The Voyager and an unknown enemy fought fiercely in the sky above the circular world.
However, Li Wenyuan had already known the outcome in advance. In the end, it would definitely end with the failure of the Voyager because the circular world had already exploded.
“What could it be? Even the Voyager is no match for him?” As he thought about this, he suddenly remembered a piece of information he had previously excavated from the ruins on Earth.
[No. N027: First Pressure Resistance Test]
[After countless simulations in the virtual world, we finally decided to trigger a controlled artificial crisis in the real galaxy to test whether the civilization formed under our spoon-feeding inspiration can resist the upcoming threat.]
[-]
This numbered document once mentioned that humans triggered an artificial crisis in order to test the resilience of the Milky Way civilization.
This crisis directly caused most of the civilizations that had advanced to fall back to the aboriginal era. Only a few of them still maintained the ability to travel through space.
“Could it be that the “crisis’ caused by humans has caused the world to explode?”
The more Li Wenyuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. At the same time, he didn’t know what to say.
He felt that human beings were really chaotic, to have raised a group of civilizations by themselves and then returned them to their original state.
The recording of the robot’s remains had been interrupted for a while, as if it had been disturbed. When it was restored, the colorful sky could no longer be seen. All that was left was smoke.
In the video, the light representing the explosion was flashing continuously. At the same time, the frequency was getting higher and higher, and it was getting brighter and brighter.
The recorded image also began to shake countless times. It was obvious that the tremors caused by the explosion had already spread here, as if it represented an approaching threat.
Seeing this scene, Li Wenyuan knew that this was the end of his record. He only hoped that this robot would be more powerful and preserve its threatening appearance.
According to his understanding of humans, the crisis that humans triggered manually would definitely not be directly realized by their own battleships. Instead, it would most likely be disguised according to the threat they had encountered before, creating a specious threat.
It looked decent, but in fact, it was still under the control of humans.
With the help of the recording, he would know what the so-called threat looked like so that he could take precautions in advance.
Soon, the vibration became more and more intense, and the robot seemed to be unable to maintain its balance. At the last moment, an explosion caused by something blew the robot into the sky.
As the scene spun, Li Wenyuan finally caught a glimpse of the threat in a few frames.
Those were some things that could be considered battleships. At first glance, he even thought they were floating buildings.
There weren’t many of them, but all of them had strange postures.
At first glance, they looked like massive objects made up of a pyramid structure. Although there was no air resistance in space, and battleships could be built in any shape they wanted, this special shape was still very eye-catching.
No weapons could be seen on their surface, but there were light beams brewing in those conical structures. It seemed that the attacks were coming from those places.
When the robot fell back to the ground, the scene ended. The outcome was obvious.
“So that’s how it is. Those things that look like spiky balls should be the specific appearance of the crisis. Even if they aren’t, they must have a lot to do with it…”
Li Wenyuan made some artistic changes to the image of the special spaceship in the records and then sent out a mission related to it to the entire Milky Way.
The reward was still a small lost empire fleet, and he believed that it would definitely attract the enthusiasm of other civilizations.
After all, this thing seemed to be able to pose a threat to the entire galaxy, and he needed to use the power of the galaxy.
He did not expect the other civilizations to find the crisis, but any clue would be very useful.
“So, was this what had happened to the Voyager? A lost empire that had expelled a portion of its compatriots and retreated to its current position under a crisis…They might have forgotten this part of history.11
He felt that he had gained a deeper understanding of the lost empire of the Voyager*
“If that’s the case, then what happened to the other lost empires that caused them to become like this?11
As he thought about this, he looked at the star map. The lost empire happened to be in four opposing positions.
He now had a better understanding of the Voyager and the Watcher, but he had little understanding of the Observer and the Silent.
Judging from their history, they probably had some incredible experiences.
“It’s really the Milky Way that has been chaotic since a long time ago….”
