“Variant Terminal?”
Li Wenyuan’s first reaction was to wonder what kind of Al Planet this was.
Unlike the Observation Terminal and the Purification Terminal, which were basically passive planetary machines, the Variant Terminal sounded like a very active planetary machine.
What was a Variant Terminal? What created uncertainty in the outcome was a variant.
The universe was not constant. There would always be some unknown X that created new things here.
The Variant Terminal in front of him seemed to be the case. Perhaps the civilization that created this planetary machine felt that the world of the Dark Forest was too boring and needed some ‘stimulation’ to inject new vitality into it.
As for what would happen to the civilizations that were forced out of the Dark Forest in the face of a life-and-death crisis, it was not something they cared about.
Li Wenyuan continued to read the information on the Variant Terminal and understood what it was used for.
[Variant Terminal]
[Introduction: A planetary machine used to bring variables into an unchanging observation. It can adjust the focus of the ‘variables’ as needed, or make it completely random, completely becoming a ‘variable’ in the sense of the word.]
In layman’s terms, this was a large machine that would execute the corresponding procedures according to the purpose of its construction.
If necessary, it could be an extinction cannon, unconditionally wiping out all life in the surrounding galaxy. They could also be the enlighteners of the galaxy, bringing knowledge and resources to life.
Everything depended on the variables that were set in the beginning.
However, the Variant Terminal in front of him was extremely special. It had been artificially modified, and the variables that were originally set had deviated. It began to carry out a mission that was far from its original purpose-inexplicable entertainment.
He was sure that this was not the work of humans, because there were no traces of humans on this planetary machine, and there was no special reaction to him.
The modification method was also different from that of humans. It was more backward. One could even see some ancient welding methods on some of the metals.
It looked more like a civilization of the galaxy localized the machinery of the foreign planet to make it more suitable for their usage.
“Was it done by the Galaxy Empire that might have once existed in this galaxy? But no matter what, the civilization that created this planetary machine has a history of at least 1.7 billion years…”
There were very few records stored in the Variant Terminal. The entire Al Planet had been working to achieve the variable most of the time. Other than the basic information, there was only one work record that lasted for millions of years.
However, the writing habits and sentences used were similar to the Observation Terminal. Li Wenyuan believed that they were left behind by the same civilization.
A civilization that had existed for at least 1.7 billion years must have a very deep foundation.
“This civilization will return here after humans leave and leave behind this planetary machine. This can’t be a coincidence. They probably discovered what humans have done here…”
“Come to think of it, did they destroy the hyperspace channel? For a civilization with such a deep foundation, destroying the hyperspace would not be a difficult task. But why?”
Li Wenyuan couldn’t figure out why that civilization destroyed the hyperspace, but after that, he remembered something else.
“Speaking of which, the traces of modification on this planetary machine are more like the work of a less mature civilization. It’s far from the civilization that created the planetary machine.”
“Since the other party can find and control this Variant Terminal to a certain extent, is the Observation Terminal also under their control?”
A sense of urgency arose along with this speculation. Just like the previous Elliptical Galaxy Alpha,” his arrival was likely to be under surveillance from the beginning.
Although it was one of his purposes to search for the possible Observation Terminal no one would like to be constantly monitored by others.
“1 thought that the civilizations here were unable to surpass the speed of light and that it was impossible for them to control the Observation Terminal 1 didn’t expect that there would still be an oversight…”
“After dealing with this matter, I have to think of a way to create a mobile secret project to solve this problem… The Curtain is not bad.”
The spaceships quickly dispersed from the galaxy where the Variant Terminal was located, and the interstellar exploration process that Li Wenyuan was already in began to accelerate.
This time, due to the unique structure of the spiral arm, the spiral galaxy could not be obtained by setting up a sentry formation at a certain node.
In order to obtain a complete picture of this galaxy, he needed to set up more sentry formations than in the previous galaxy, and they were in different positions.
Considering that even if the sentry formation group formed by the sentry formations achieved the purpose of monitoring the entire galaxy, it would still take him a lot of time to find the exact location of the Observation Terminal.
Hence, the precognition interface he got from the Ascendant Civilization came in handy.
“Thinking about it this way, the Ascendant’s precognition interface could also be considered a planetary machine to a certain extent, right?”
Looking at the prediction interface that had turned from a crystal planet to a fleshy planet due to the exhaustion of psionic power, Li Wenyuan had the idea for no reason.
He had also brought the entire Ascendant’s precognition interface planet over and made some targeted mechanical modifications, making it easier for him, a mechanical life, to use it.
This time, he was using it to find the location of the Observation Terminal. He wanted to test this magical prediction ability that seemed to be able to deduce cause from effect again.
After injecting a large amount of artificial psionic power into the prediction interface, it turned into a crystal ball celestial body again and soon shot out a guiding beam with an unknown destination.
The information contained in the overflowing light this time was extremely complicated, and it would take a lot of time to analyze it. It seemed to indicate that the Observation Terminal here was quite far away.
However, as long as he could find a place, it would be a good thing for Li Wenyuan.
He knew that humans would definitely leave something behind at the Observation Terminal, and he believed that he could learn something about the civilization that transformed these Al planets and the super-ancient civilization that was at least 1.7 billion years old.
Therefore, his spaceships began to move between the galaxies in large numbers. While expanding the scope of exploration further, they were also searching for the secrets hidden in this galaxy.
However, at this moment, the upper echelons of a certain fallen civilization in the galaxy were in a panic.
“Oh no, there seems to be something wrong with the Entertainment Terminal. Could it be that our little trick was discovered?”
Some people were extremely afraid. It seemed that their doomsday had arrived.
However, there were also people who became angry under extreme fear. They said ruthlessly,
“What are you panicking for? Those arrogant scribes would never notice such a small matter! Some ignorant civilization must have triggered the defense system there…”
“Wait for the report from the Observation Terminal. I want to see it…” The expression on the face of the person who had just spoken became more and more ferocious, and he did not hide the malice in his heart.
“Who dares to disturb our entertainment….”
