Chapter 119: The Hider in The Other World (1)

The signal that was ‘trapped’ around the Black Hole hid a Level 10 technology. That was completely beyond Li Wenyuan’s expectations.

His Tiangang Battleship and warp drive technology were only Level 8, but that ‘Strange Cycle’ technology surpassed them.

That made Li Wenyuan extremely curious about what had happened there.

“…In the only audio recording, the scientist who left the signal seems to have chosen to enter the Black Hole….” Li Wenyuan was slightly shocked as he looked at the Black Hole in front of him, which was glowing and faintly revealing its ball-shaped appearance due to the high-speed friction of its accretion disk.

Entering the Black Hole was a behavior that made one’s scalp tingle just at the thought of it.

For such a celestial body that represented the end, Li Wenyuan found it hard to imagine what kind of fanaticism and resolve would drive that human scientist to embark on such a journey of no return.

“And…according to the records, more than one person had entered the Black Hole, but this scientist might be the last…What is the ‘thing’ that appointed them?”

He recalled the words ‘{Signal Interruption} appeared again’ mentioned in the record, followed by ‘the appointed person.’

What was that thing that appeared again? Was it some kind of phenomenon? Was it some kind of lifeform? Or was it something even more incomprehensible?

“Even the humans of that era needed to sacrifice countless people to explore this secret?” He thought about it and finally remembered Gray Wind’s abnormality just now.

“..If that were the case, was she being ‘appointed’ by someone? But…appointing a compound nanobot?” Li Wenyuan looked at the Black Hole, not knowing what kind of expression he should have.

Although Gray Wind always used the appearance of the human body to move around, she was essentially a shell made up of countless tiny nanobots.

Her true form was actually the nanobots in the ‘distant star cluster’ that could form a civilization.

Was the so-called “appointment” for her to throw in all the nanobots?

But no matter what, Li Wenyuan would never let Gray Wind go on a journey of no return. Moreover, Gray Wind herself was not interested in that.

After leaving the Black Hole, Gray Wind asked worriedly, “Did you find anything? The one who just called me…Was it a ‘ghost’?”

She didn’t look like she was joking. It was as if she really thought that a ‘ghost’ was calling her.

Perhaps because she had been eyeing supernatural games recently that she was so sensitive about it.

“…Can nanobots also see Electronic Specters? Don’t think too much. It’s all science.” Although Li Wenyuan didn’t know what was inside the Black Hole, he believed that it was still science since humans had entered it and successfully left behind a message.

Gray Wind seemed to be relieved, but she still looked at the Black Hole occasionally. Perhaps she would become very sensitive to Black Holes in the future.

“But this place is still very good. Dead Planets may be extremely inhospitable for ordinary species, but this problem does not exist for robots.”

“There are more than ten Dead Planets here. It’s not bad to use them as a natural wonder of the universe. Let’s build a star base here.”

Considering that there were traces of humans here and that the secret in the Black Hole was still unknown, he decided to occupy that place first so that he could monitor the abnormalities there.

That way, if there were any changes in that place in the future, he would be the first to notice.

Thus, in the Milky Way star map, there was another piece of land belonging to the lost robotic empire.

The civilizations were used to that. They had long discovered that the ‘Administrator’ would always build star bases in places that no one had noticed before to declare sovereignty.

They all knew that there must be something special in those places that attracted the attention of the ‘Administrator,’ but everyone tacitly avoided talking about it.

When they passed by those places, they only took a glance from afar before leaving in a hurry, afraid of causing a reaction from the ‘Administrator.’

After all, other than some core galaxies that were not opened for entry, the ‘Administrator’ had opened the borders of most places. They did not want to receive a notice that the borders were ‘permanently closed’ just because of their curiosity.

Not only would there be fewer convenient passages in that case, but it would also attract hostility. That was undoubtedly something that no civilization wanted to happen.

After leaving that special Black Hole Galaxy, Li Wenyuan began to study the newly acquired ‘Strange Cycle’ technology.

It seemed to be a special ‘Recycling Technology,’ just like how he had studied the ‘gate builder.’ By repeatedly deciphering the secrets of the ‘gate builder,’ he could truly understand everything about the ‘gate builder’ and find the method to unlock their stargates.

And from the description, the ‘Strange Cycle’ might be some kind of never-ending technology.

“Every time I do research, I can gain something from it.” That might sound like nothing at first, but it was actually very terrifying.

Why did the lost empire fall? Although they had their own reasons, there was one thing that could not be ignored. They thought that they had reached the end and there was no possibility of improvement.

However, if there were a certain theory in which something could be learned from every research, then civilization would not be stagnant. As long as enough time passed, the foundation of that civilization would reach an extremely terrifying level..
