Chapter 2548 Atonement

"They actually did this to us... and we actually did this to them..."

"We... did something wrong, we must atone for our sins!"

"Yes...we must..."

The Void Empire took the fragments of the Forerunner back... and continued to study them.

At the same time, the entire empire was slowly recovering from the previous blow. Every resident of the empire had been in grief for a long time. They had not expected that the gods they had worshipped before would actually destroy the entire empire.

Another group of people who were also in grief were the researchers responsible for studying the pioneer fragments.

The researchers were able to successfully piece together some of the pieces and create... several small Precursors.

Of course, their original intention of research was to obtain transmission technology through them, or to reuse the white channel.

But after these little pioneers were created, they began to communicate with the researchers... During the communication, the researchers learned the truth of the matter from the little pioneers.

They had always thought that the Pioneers had deliberately destroyed the Void Empire, but after communicating, they discovered that it was actually the Empire's own fault.

The reason is that the residents of the empire discriminated against each other, and then told the pioneers about their idea of ​​eliminating other species, and the pioneers... helped them realize this idea.

The pioneers were not wrong, it was the empire that was wrong.

And the Empire actually killed all the Pioneers without knowing it, and the Pioneers didn't fight back, and were all killed just like that... This is really tragic, it's clearly the Empire's own fault.

Moreover, these researchers also discovered that... now that the empire has stabilized, the species that had previously united and cooperated to fight the enemy have begun to quarrel with each other again.

This is really too sad.

There's a reason these researchers are so emotional.

Initially, the scientific research of the empire was basically managed by each race separately. Later, the empire established a "unified research and development department".

This scientific research department is composed of some species with low emotional richness and species with division of labor.

This group of species was once called "research maniacs". They only care about the results of research more than anything else. This is also the method that the Empire came up with to rapidly improve its technological level.

It is true that if you do not involve any emotions in your research, you can increase the research speed greatly.

But this also leads to some problems, which is... they are too crazy.

They can capture any residents for research experiments without any care, and use any living things to experiment with research results. Of course, these species will also break the law for research results, and they are also very smart to conceal their crimes.

Although this approach is indeed effective, in the end, because they made too many mistakes... they were still discovered.

Finally, the Empire's troops invaded the Tumbler where the 'Unified Scientific Research Department' was located, and discovered that they had built a large number of prisons underground throughout the world, mainly to detain the... experimental subjects they captured everywhere.

These test subjects included all races of the entire empire, and people of all identities, from ordinary residents to high-ranking officials of the empire, from clerks in canteens to bosses of galactic business groups.

There is only one reason why they were captured here... and that is to be used for biological experiments.

A large number of destructive weapons were also discovered, and these weapons were prepared to be dropped on many populated areas of the Empire.

This is not because they want to destroy the empire, but because they want to drop it in an area with more creatures to see the effect.

The Empire finally resolved the incident and rescued all the test subjects...After that, the Empire issued a ban.

Any 'ruthless species' are forbidden from conducting research, their desperate spirit of research is too terrifying.

Then, the unified scientific research department was later headed by a group of emotional species.

Although these species often slow down research progress because they care about the suffering of the test subjects, nothing terrible has happened since then.

And this rule has continued until now.

The researchers in charge of studying the pioneer fragments are species with rich emotions.

To be precise, they are very compassionate.

After learning about the Pioneer's specific situation, they decided to atone their sins to the Pioneer.

And this empire that has always been discriminating... should have been destroyed long ago.

Later, this group of researchers began to take action, intending to completely collapse the empire.

As for the method, it is the same as what the pioneers did before, because they belong to the Unified Scientific Research Department... This scientific research department controls almost all the technical information of the entire empire.

These materials are placed in some giant buildings on multiple tumblers in the Empire's territory, and only researchers have access to these buildings.

This group of researchers entered these buildings and installed 'channel transmission devices' inside them.

This device can send the target into the white channel and finally throw it to the star. This is also the method of manufacturing that the researcher learned by asking the little pioneer.

After throwing all these data buildings, including the backup ones, into the tunnel, they continued to move...

The researchers formed several teams, and they teleported various large factories and other buildings into them.

And they searched everywhere to destroy all technical data, the blueprints of every warship, the production methods of every high-tech product...

At the same time, they also persuaded many people to join their team.

Of course, the most harmful thing they did was to stir up disputes among the remaining races in the empire and plunge the empire into a civil war.

Although the details are not very clear, some time after this operation began... the technology of the entire Void Empire began to be lost in large quantities.

Coupled with the civil war, their technological level also began to decline rapidly...

In the end, the entire empire...slowly collapsed.

Until the last moment, some researchers were still alive, and they used teleporters to drop various buildings onto the star.

Even the crude buildings pieced together from the ruins were not spared.

All the while, these researchers have been working to destroy the Empire.

They are emotionally rich, but that can also be said to be ruthless from another perspective.

But Lin felt that there were other factors involved.

In short, after the empire collapsed, those small pioneers that were put together were still there.

They have been living in the ruins of the empire until Lin found them.

They also told Lin this very interesting history.

In fact, the empire was not completely destroyed.

These microorganisms seen here are also remnants of the empire...some species.
