Chapter 53: The Strange Tranquility
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the Distant Stargate was activated, Li Wenyuan didn’t hesitate for long. He let the research spaceships that had been parked nearby go in and take a look. At the same time, he was ready to warp the fleet to this place at any time to prevent any threats that might appear.
It was also after he successfully activated the Distant Stargate that the other Distant Stargates in the Milky Way also had strange movements at this time.
Regardless of whether they had an owner or not, these stargates all began to decrypt themselves.
Although they were still closed now, it was believed that soon, these stargates would open again and reveal their secrets to the entire Milky Way.
Li Wenyuan s research spaceship passed through the Distant Stargate and quickly lost contact with it.
However, he immediately received a signal from a very far place.
It was no longer in the Milky Way, not even near it.
…..
Compared to the bustling Milky Way, that place was like a graveyard of the universe, deathly silent.
The research spaceships arrived here through the Distant Stargate. The same stargate was standing here, so it could be confirmed that this place was behind the Distant Stargate.
A few seemingly abandoned galaxies formed this tiny star cluster, and a strange silence filled the place.
After some disturbance in the image, Li Wenyuan finally saw the interior of the solar system where the research spaceship had arrived.
There seemed to have been an earth-shattering war here. Some planets that could have contained life had been blown up beyond recognition, but most of the planets were covered in a kind of fine dust.
A rough scan showed that the dust might be some kind of paralyzed ancient nanobot.
“Is this a gift… Or is it a threat?” After seeing these scenes, Li Wenyuan thought of the problem left on the Distant Stargate by the gate builder.
Judging from the current situation, whether it was a gift or a threat, there was no such thing here. All that was left was a dead wreckage.
With more and more doubts in his mind, Li Wenyuan immediately controlled more research spaceships to jump to the vicinity of the Distant Star gate in the Milky Way.
They all rushed into this star cluster and began to scan the area with multiple threads.
Soon, a research ship detected a string of residual information from a bunch of paralyzed nanobots.
[ Incomplete record 00003: Program coordination… Breakdown… Copy… Evolution… ]
[ Incomplete record 00005: Was the data loss experiment a success? Then let’s continue with the next step of the plan… ]
[ Incomplete record 00028: Damn it, these data losses are out of control! Hurry up and inform our compatriots outside, let them lose their data loss… ]
Perhaps it was because it was too long ago, the information that could be restored was very little, and it was also very difficult to form a complete information chain.
However, when he looked at the nanobots that surrounded the planet and the loss of control recorded in the records, Li Wenyuan couldn’t help but wonder if these nanobots were the ones that had lost control.
Immediately after, another research spaceship reported that they had found the remaining information.
Li Wenyuan glanced at it roughly at first, and then gradually revealed a strange expression.
[ Incomplete record 00740: Is the data loss outside done? It wasn’t? What news could it be… ]
[ Incomplete record 00741: Discovered a civilization that was building a tunnel to another galaxy? Tell them to stop repairing it! Otherwise, the data loss will spread… ]
[ Incomplete record 00750: We don’t need their help. The Desanur Union can handle this matter on our own… They were still cultivating? What the hell… ]
“Building some kind of channel that connects to other galaxies…” Li Wenyuan read some familiar words, and then he remembered the image he had seen in the Emerald Tomb.
“It can’t be a human, right? The humans also had contact with the gate builders at that time?”
Before he could continue thinking, more incomplete information was uploaded to the database.
[ Incomplete record 01201: Are they praising us for repairing the door? Finally, someone can understand our painstaking efforts… They were still repairing the road? This was really… Forget it, tell them that we’re leaving for a while… ]
[ Incomplete record 01450: data loss is getting more and more dangerous. We have to lock all the doors, and we can’t open them from the inside to prevent data loss from getting out… I hope that we have successfully resolved the data loss when it is reopened…

The more he read, the more Li Wenyuan sighed.
From the remaining records and the situation inside the distant star cluster, it was very likely that the gate builder had not been able to deal with the threat alone and had become one of the dust of history.
And those data losses were most likely referring to the paralyzed nanobots.
“It makes one sigh… Let’s continue exploring. It seems like these out-of-control nanobots have already broken down over a long time…”
As a result, all the planets in a galaxy were quickly scanned, and the research spaceships continued to head to other galaxies in this distant star cluster.
As the scan progressed, new incomplete information was added to the record.
[ Incomplete record 05000: Copy… ]
[ Incomplete record 06500: Thinking… ]
[ Incomplete record 10000: Hello! We re the Desanur Union! I’m very happy to see you! [ our era of isolation is finally over! ]
[ Incomplete record 10001: Yes! Our dream is to create a stargate network that covers the entire galaxy! Promote the spread of interstellar civilization!]
[ Incomplete record 10005: Nanobots? Oh! My dear friend! We don’t want to discuss this… ]
[ Incomplete record 10008: We’re telling you for the last time, don’t delve into this question! ]
[ Incomplete record 10010: We open our doors to welcome you, but this is how you repay our kindness?! Perhaps we shouldn’t trust any single-form race. At the very least, you are no different from our creators. When we dismantle your spaceship and crew into compounds, let’s see what your heart is made of! ]
The last part of the recording was longer than ever, but through these few words, Li Wenyuan managed to restore a picture.
After a group of overwhelming nanobots dealt with their creators, they gradually developed intelligence over a long period of time and disguised themselves as the country of their creators.
However, after this lie was exposed, these nanobots seemed to have launched an attack in anger, and it was unknown who they were attacking…
“It can’t be another human, right?” Li Wenyuan actually felt like laughing. Although humans had disappeared from the universe, they didn’t seem to have completely disappeared.
Even the distant star cluster still had traces of them.
He was getting more and more curious about what happened here, and he couldn’t help but create a file in the database: The distant star cluster was used to record all the information found here.
Soon, the research spaceships from other places also uploaded the information they had collected to the file of the distant star cluster.
[ Incomplete record 15000: Fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail… ]
[ Incomplete record 15001:1 didn’t expect that a monomorphic race could also have such powerful combat power… Is this death? Creator… ]
[ Incomplete record 15005: Those monomorphic races didn’t destroy our core. Instead, they closed the stargate that leads to the outside world again… 1
[ Incomplete record 16000: Perhaps, we can change our form of existence… ]
[ Incomplete record 23000: Life, living beings, organic bodies… ]
With the completion of most of the planet’s scans, the records gradually entered the end phase.
[ Incomplete record 35000: The giant beast… It was a success! But… It’s not enough… 1
[ Incomplete records 50000: Thought, consciousness, coordination, unity… ]
[ Incomplete record 90000:… ]
Li Wenyuan received a special signal when he scanned the last planet.
On the surface of a planet full of nanobots, there was an energy source that was constantly swaying and moving slowly in the Antarctic.
It looked like… It was as if he was taking a stroll.
His distant star cluster file also recorded the last piece of information:
[ Incomplete record 99999: I’m… Gray.. 1
