Chapter 1175 Temporary Peace in the World

As a censor whose job content is uncertain and who patrols the universe every day, Hao Ren feels that his workload is simply a Brownian motion. Sometimes almost everything will pile up and happen at the same time, making people so busy that they want to have mitosis on the spot to add two helpers. , but sometimes the world is peaceful, all events are silent, and mushrooms can grow when people are idle...

The pursuit of the whereabouts of the crystal core has temporarily reached a deadlock, but it is not really a deadlock. Strictly speaking, it is because the universe is vast and the range of activities of the drone group is limited, so no effective signals have been found for the time being. Hao Ren had already uploaded the information recorded by Anthony to the drone network server many days ago, and also sent a copy to the Crystal Core Research Station. Numerous super antennas were deployed in the dream plane universe earlier. Everyone's eyes widened, and now they were scanning day and night for even the faintest message coming from the deep space of the universe.

So far, no signal response matching the signature has been found within the scope of the dream plane that has been explored.

On the other hand, the detectors used to monitor the activities of various ecological reserves in the Dream Plane did not return any abnormal conditions.

Hao Ren had been lying next to the table since early in the morning, listening to the data terminal giving him reports, while "Gun" lazily nestled in the new cat nest at his feet, purring while twirling his tail.

After a long period of education, this cat still has many aspects of its nature that are difficult to change. In addition to squatting to eat and forgetting to walk upright from time to time, the biggest problem is that it has to nest in various corners to feel comfortable. These two It happened that Lily bought a lot of things from the Internet, and after unpacking the express delivery, there was only a huge cardboard box left, so the cardboard box was occupied by the cat girl. It was obvious that Hao Ren would not help her return to her animal nature, so the cat lady took it upon herself to provide enough food and clothing. She put a thick layer of tattered clothes and old sheets that she had bitten and scratched in the box, and made it an extra-large size. The soft nest came out, and now she stays in it almost every step of the way except for eating and going to the toilet...

Hao Ren was now worried that people would see this scene. If this ignorant person saw it, wouldn't they think he was abusing the girl?

"Purrrrrrrr--" the cat lady turned over and kicked Hao Ren's calf with her foot, "Meow, rice."

"I'm just raising an ancestor..." Hao Ren sighed, grabbed a handful of cat biscuits from the small box next to him and handed them over, "Don't leave too many scraps, I have to clean them up."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to continue listening to the report, but the cat lady raised her legs and kicked him a few more times: "Meow, water."

"Go away! The water is right next to your box. You don't know how to reach out to get it?!"

The cat lady frowned: "I don't want it in the cup, please pour it into a bowl for me, meow."

Hao Ren felt that he had indeed raised an ancestor!

After serving the cat ancestor, he had time to continue listening to the data terminal's reports on the situation in various places.

"Actually, nothing has changed. It's the same as the last report." The data terminal floated ten centimeters on the table and swayed gently. "The ecological reconstruction of Drom-Tanagus has been completed, and the Drom people are preparing to It's winter. They have initially established a living camp and production facilities, as well as a certain amount of material reserves. They should have no problem getting through the first winter. Horleta is now considered a paradise in the Dream Plane, and the turmoil caused by the eldest son has passed. , the surveillance satellites left over the planet did not find any remaining ancient organisms inside the planet; the situation on the planet Io is also normal, the Ark survivors have almost adapted to the ocean planet, and Eva’s relationship with the new guests is not bad. The above ecological There is no need to worry about the security of the reserve area. Armed drones patrol around each planet for a long time and have set up space fortresses with heavy firepower. If there is any threat, we can eliminate it as soon as possible. There is no threat at present."

"How's it going over there at Suluen's Gate?" Hao Ren asked casually.

"Several of the Death Star furnaces are already under construction, and Liemendusa is overseeing the casting of the founding engine components there, with some parts now being produced. Our construction units left at the Sulun Gate are building large assemblies in space Station, the preliminary produced parts have begun to be assembled," the data terminal said, projecting a set of holographic images. On the image, you can see a vast space, with many pale golden combinations of strange structures floating in the space, and in the Around the assembly, many small light spots and things similar to tractor beams can be seen flying around. "Except for the production facilities, there is no new news at the Suluen Gate. The space fracture there is still there, but there is no More ‘gods’ came out of the dark realm.”

"Hmm..." Hao Ren pinched the bridge of his nose and thought about what he had missed. He suddenly remembered an instruction from a long time ago, "By the way, where has the drone swarm expanded to? It is still heading towards the primitive center in the center of the universe. Regional expansion?”

"Just about to report this," the light on the surface of the data terminal brightened, indicating that this was a relatively important topic. "The expansion speed of the drone fleet is increasing as planned, and the number of armed drones has been increased according to your order. This is the area they are currently spreading to, and a rough star map has been drawn..."

The data terminal projects a complex structure of light spots and lines, which marks the detection range of the drone group. Most of the galaxies in the coverage area of ​​the drone group are not named, but are generally registered with alphanumeric numbers.

"Because we encountered many unregistered galaxies on the way forward, although the drone swarm proliferated rapidly, the actual speed of advancement was not fast - every inch of suspicious areas must be investigated, and bunkers and fortresses must be left in all material-rich zones. The deployment of defenses has slowed down the expansion of the drone swarm. But then they should expand faster: the closer to the original area in the center of the universe, the rarer the celestial objects worth paying attention to, and the space in front of the drone swarm is getting wider and wider. It's getting darker and thinner, most of the galaxies within it are extinguished, and nuclear reactions probably stopped hundreds of millions of years ago. There's nothing detectable in space there except some cold ash piles, a drone bunker. You can monitor a fairly large area.”

Hao Ren looked at the star map projected by the data terminal. He could see that in front of the large flashing galaxy scene was a hazy darkness, which seemed to hide the oldest secret of the dream plane universe. At present, the expansion range of the drone swarm has not broken through the active galaxy area, and it is still a long way from the dark boundary. However, in any case, the dark boundary has already appeared within the sensing range of the drone swarm.

"The fleet consciousness sent a report earlier today. It mentioned that under the observation of the drone outpost, the dark space ahead was 'eerily quiet'," the data terminal said. "Even in the oldest primitive nebula, There should also be a certain number of stars born, because the creation of the dream plane universe is far from over, but the starlight in that dark area is at least 80% less than expected, as if something happened there What kind of event caused the nebula material within the range to be burned up?"

"Darkness...darkness..." Hao Ren smacked his lips, "Anyway, according to our previous guess, there must be something in that darkness. Let the fleet continue to move forward... By the way, does the drone swarm have a soul?"

The data terminal was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Hao Ren suddenly mentioned this, but he still answered seriously: "No, they just have intelligence. Just like this machine, they have intelligence and no soul."

Hao Ren is still struggling to understand what the "soul" in the definition of gods is, and he doesn't know why the concept of "wisdom but no soul" appears, but he has no intention of studying this field: "Okay, It’s fine if there is no soul, and the fleet can move on. By the way, they have expanded so far, are there any remaining civilizations or anything else found in the middle? "

"Unfortunately, not really." The voice of the data terminal was filled with regret. "A large number of planet ruins were discovered that were destroyed by the Firstborn, but most of the ruins have been melted into an indescribable substance by the source blood. All substances They are all scattered evenly beyond recognition, and it is impossible to even start an investigation. In comparison, the ruins of Tanagus and Io we discovered before can be regarded as lights in the dark night. In addition, some were accidentally discovered on those planets that were completely destroyed. There are rare life reactions, but they are all rough lives reborn from the source blood after the destruction of the world. The life forms are extremely low-level and evolve slowly. It seems that after the death of the eldest son, the divinely created ecosystem lost most of its power, and the source blood also If it deteriorates, it will be difficult to breed complex life from the source blood.”

"...completely destroy life, erase the traces left by the Creation Goddess in the universe, change the nature of the source blood, and cut off the possibility of the goddess's people rising again," Hao Ren muttered softly, "It is much easier to explain these phenomena now. ”

While Hao Ren was discussing the dream plane with the data terminal, Lily's shout suddenly came from the living room, interrupting their conversation:

"Landlord, landlord! Come and see if something is wrong with Doudou!!"
