Chapter 283: The Destroyed Ether Phase Engine

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The construction of the sentry formation and the exploration of the Elliptical Galaxy Alpha went quite smoothly.

Just as Li Wenyuan had learned from the memories of the orphans of the Ascendant, this group of Ascendants had almost killed all lifeforms except them.

There might still be some people who were still hiding in the dark, but now, even the population of the Ascendant had decreased sharply. If there were other surviving tribes, their fate would probably not be any better than the Ascendants.

His spaceship had passed through tens of thousands of galaxies, but he did not see a single living lifeform. Although it was partly due to the mass extinction of the Ascendants, the universe itself was probably dead silent.

This also made Li Wenyuan realize how rare the situation in the Milky Way was.

After all, even if those active civilizations were excluded, space animals such as space amoebas and space whales were common in the Milky Way.

These magical lifeforms were initially trapped in a certain galaxy due to the speed of light, but they gradually spread to the entire Milky Way with the construction of the hyper space channel, adding vitality to the starry sky.

“If the Ascendant did not take such a big step, perhaps they could also create a similar world?”

Recalling the history of the Ascendant, Li Wenyuan sighed slightly.

Although the technological development of this galaxy was somewhat different, given the unique psionic environment and the Ascendant’s understanding of psionic power, it might not be a problem to create a psionic hyperspace route.

However, the Ascendant civilization did not do this thankless thing in the end. Instead, they chose to do something big.

Perhaps their belief in pursuing Traveler was too extreme, or perhaps it was simply due to their arrogance that they had no more opponents, but they carried out the plan of ascension before they were fully prepared, which led to the galaxy becoming like this many years later.

Humans and Ascendant, two similar ancient civilizations, ended up walking on completely different paths.

“The difference between the inside and outside of the Milky Way was quite big. He did not expect to encounter such a special galaxy on his first trip…Or should I say, the Milky Way was the special one?”

The journey in this galaxy was boring. Unlike the Milky Way, where ruins were found every few galaxies, the desolation was really carried out in every galaxy.

The special natural environment had created the habit of not preserving life here. In a society where survival and becoming stronger were the top priorities, there was no room for culture and history to germinate.

Li Wenyuan did find traces of civilization on some planets that were once habitable, but judging from the stone ruins, he would think that they were some primitive tribe.

However, that place was once an interstellar civilization. According to the cosmic radiation remnants on lifeforms fossils, the individuals of those civilizations had been active in space in large numbers. This was basically something that only interstellar civilizations could do.

The civilization in this galaxy was truly ideality. According to the era of the Milky Way civilization, the civilization here was still in the classical era and had already started to fight with other civilizations in the universe.

The most basic planetary unification of interstellar civilizations had long been accomplished by the powerful psionics of the civilization. They could indeed gather their individual strength to skip the civilization development process.

However, this also led to the slow development of cultural inheritance, which was a spiritual upper structure. An individual was ultimately an individual, and there was no way to provide so much spiritual food.

The social ethos of only strength couldn’t provide material security for the people in this industry, so it was obvious that there were no historians here.

“If I remember correctly, psionic power was a kind of energy that was closely related to the spiritual world, right? In the end, the lives here are doing the opposite…”

After examining more planets that were suspected to have signs of civilization, Li Wenyuan had never found a decent ruin.

Just like how these civilizations had no interest in preserving their own history, perhaps objective factors determined that they could only live in the present.

However, after a large number of spaceships explored the area, he still found something.

To be precise, it was not he who discovered it, but Gray Wind.

Without the need for disguise, Gray Wind’s exploration was simple and crude. They directly used the storm formed by the nanomachines to wander in the galaxy.

Every nanomachine was like a detector for her, but she would only scan carefully when she encountered something she was interested in.

The mission that Li Wenyuan had given her was to build the sentry formation, and exploring this galaxy was just a side mission.

Anything that interested her naturally attracted Li Wenyuan’s attention.

It was a fleshy planet, and its mass was much lower than that of ordinary planets. Because the gravitational anomaly it caused was too low compared to other planets, it attracted the attention of Gray Wind almost instantly.

Meanwhile, Li Wenyuan, who was still on the other side of the galaxy, had also received the images sent by Gray Wind. He immediately felt that the civilization here had undergone a lot of changes.

After all, it was a planet that was almost entirely made of lifeform matter. If it was Presolin who discovered it, he would definitely drool on the spot.

“I did a simple scan of the planet. According to the feedback data, this fleshy planet seems to be a planetary-level eyeball’?”

“It is true that it is filled with muscles inside, but some of the muscles will mutate rapidly under the stimulation of tremendous psionic power and form a kind of glass crystal.”

“If I have to say, 1 think that it is a genetic method that has been combined with psionic power because there are obvious traces of genetic modification in the extracted muscle cells. The technology of combining organic matter into the size of a planet is most likely related to physics.”

“At least judging from the current information, the civilization that created this ‘eye’ is not blindly pursuing spiritual power. Other sciences have also developed.”

With Gray Wind’s judgment, the name Ascendant civilization immediately appeared in Li Wenyuan’s mind.

He felt that only this civilization could do this. Li Wenyuan, who could not find the ruins of the Ascendant civilization for a long time, immediately became spirited and jumped on a research spaceship to the galaxy discovered by Gray Wind.

As soon as he entered, he saw the fleshy planet marked by Gray Wind, but his attention was attracted by something else in the galaxy.

“That is…”

At first, Gray Wind didn’t notice Li Wenyuan’s shift of attention. However, after a while, she realized that the research spaceship wasn’t approaching the fleshy planet, but was flying towards the star in the center.

“Wait, did you find something? Isn’t that just the remains of a Dyson sphere?”

Gray Wind obviously didn’t realize what the Dyson sphere remains were. It was so broken that it couldn’t cover the light of the star.

However, Li Wenyuan was different. He knew that although the two megastructures were very similar after construction, their actual functions were completely different.

Even if the aesthetic style of the civilization was completely different, the basic framework of a megastructure would not change if it wanted to achieve similar functions.

This megastructure was not built by humans, but judging from the frame alone, he could understand that the megastructure and the Dyson sphere were completely different concepts.

Because the frame that covered the star was a damaged ether engine..
