Chapter 2551 Thoughts

Pioneers have always been considered great and selfless.

But selflessness is actually equivalent to being suspicious.

because……

Any creature that dared to doubt the pioneers would not survive for long.

Except… this one, this centipede-like creature, that somehow managed to stay alive for quite some time.

That was after its tissues were destroyed by the angry researchers, and the centipede itself was killed and thrown into the void, generally dead.

However, it later 'resurrected' in some form after the empire was completely destroyed... that is, the microbial community.

There are many microbial communities everywhere in the empire's territory. Suddenly, at some point, a large group of microbial communities... gathered in one place in a space station.

These microorganisms died shortly after gathering together, but their dead bodies hardened quickly.

Finally, they formed a statue.

That is the huge...centipede statue that Lin saw in the center of the space station.

It is much larger than the centipede itself, which is only about ten meters long at most, but it is shaped exactly like the centipede.

This statue... is just a simple statue. Apart from the description of the statue at the bottom, there is no other information about it.

But the microorganisms synthesize not only this statue, but also many other...synthetic objects.

Most of them are in this space station. The appearance of these synthetic objects is generally like a piece of stone. Their exterior is very solid, but their interior contains a lot of...information.

The information was described in a language that the centipede had used before, and it mentioned everything it had found before.

That is, it is about pioneers.

There is a reason why it uses these microorganisms to store intelligence instead of storing it elsewhere.

Because if the information is stored in other ways, it can be easily discovered by researchers and then destroyed or teleported away.

It has to wait until all the researchers die, but it itself can't live that long, so... it came up with this plan.

It can, to some extent, direct the surrounding microbial communities...although it can't directly control what they do, it can have a lasting impact on them.

Centipedes can insert small parts of their own microbes into other microbial communities.

This small number of microorganisms are not killed because the centipedes are able to disguise themselves almost completely and blend in with the same species as their target.

Simply put, it is like stuffing a piece of meat into a cell organism that cannot be detected by the immune system.

Of course, the small amount of microorganisms that the centipede stuffed inside does not simply stay inside, they also continue to send out... some 'pheromones'.

The 'pheromones' emitted by these microbes slowly influence the ... behavior of the entire microbial community.

The initial impact was minimal, barely enough to daze the group for a moment.

But slowly, pheromones can control the group to do more actions, such as making them change the direction of movement, do certain things, eat something, or even... commit suicide.

When pheromones can completely control a group, the group will be manipulated to eat some special substances and gather to... one location to commit suicide.

The substances they eat will cause them to harden quickly after death, which is also the key to forming statues.

Because the entire impact process took a long time, the microbial communities that were affected only synthesized statues and stones with information after the centipede died... or even after the entire empire was destroyed.

The centipede thought so at first because it knew that those researchers would commit suicide after bringing down the entire empire.

So as long as microorganisms synthesize the statue after that, it will not be destroyed.

The main reason is that the centipede believes that it is impossible for all species in the empire to die. There will always be some that survive and they can discover this information about it.

Although it is unclear whether any species survived in the end, Lin believes that this information has never been discovered.

Of course Lin discovered it now, but it was a long time later.

The reason the Centipede isn't worried about the Harbinger's discovery is because it discovered the Harbinger's... characteristics.

The pioneer has the characteristic of 'must help'.

In other words, they cannot do anything on their own that would harm the creatures that have passed through the model sand sea, unless the creatures themselves wish to do so.

So the pioneers couldn't destroy these statues. Their only way was to destroy the statues through the microbial communities that were everywhere here.

It's just that these microbial communities have never had any interest in the statues.
