Library, one of the symbols of civilization development.
The names may be different in each civilization, but the functions are the same.
Soon Lin Xu found the current city's library, and Bai Xing copied all the materials in it.
At the same time, White Star also accessed the global Internet on this planet and retrieved all public information.
and the location of the national database was determined.
Although the database is physically isolated from the external network.
But this doesn't bother Shirahoshi.
Using nanorobots to establish a connection channel, it is easy to get all the data in the database.
There isn't even a database defense mechanism triggered.
The gap between civilizations is really too huge. In Bai Xing's eyes, Gu Mo Gang's database defense mechanism is like building blocks built by a child and can be easily bypassed.
"Have you found anything useful?" Lin Xu, who was standing on the roadside and watching another grand parade to celebrate the coming of the Son, asked Bai Xing.
At the same time, Nan Zhu, who was beside Lin Xu, had jumped and perfectly integrated into the carnival atmosphere, barely exposing her tail and fox ears.
Even Lu Yao was infected by the atmosphere and cheered from time to time.
That is to say, Miss Qiu and Mu Xiyue are not as disturbed by the external atmosphere as before.
"The data related to the Holy Father has been searched, and no specific records of contact between native civilization and humans have been found, and there is no relevant evidence that the purges have a different view of native civilization." Bai Xing replied.
"What else?" Lin Xu looked at the parade passing by and continued to ask calmly.
"I have found two thousand years of video data about the Consecration Day and the coming of the Son. According to records, when the Son came, although the local civilization sent spaceships to try to make contact with the Cleansers, in fact there is no record of the establishment of contact. It seems that the Cleansing The visitor just came to take a look and left without leaving a word. Treat the spacecraft sent by the local civilization as nothing more than air."
"Two thousand years?" Lin Xu noticed something.
"Yes, the local civilization has entered the digital age where digital image data can be left two thousand years ago. Therefore, the database contains the image data of the coming of the Holy Son two thousand years ago. However, the local civilization at that time tried its best and could only send out A small spaceship tried to contact the Cleaner fleet, but the Cleaner fleet left before it could fly far from the planet."
"Then a thousand years ago, the Son of God came again. At that time, the local civilization was able to send fleets to have close contact with the Cleansers fleet, but there was also no response."
"The last one was the one a few days ago, and the purges also didn't respond."
"It has been two thousand years since they entered the space era, and they also have controllable nuclear fusion technology. So how is the research on the curvature engine going?" Lin Xu asked.
"According to the records in the database, the local civilization does not have the technology related to the curvature engine." Shirahoshi replied.
"Is this normal? Isn't it said that the curvature engine technology itself is a big filter? I remember that in the Milky Way, only those who have mastered the curvature engine technology can be considered an advanced civilization and have the ability to navigate the galaxy at will. Even though many civilizations have reached the nuclear energy age for tens of thousands of years, they still have not developed curvature engine technology." Lu Yao next to him interjected.
"No, Miss Lu Yao, the local civilization not only does not have curvature engine technology, but also has not conducted any research related to curvature engine technology." Who knew that Bai Xing was the first to retort.
"No relevant research has been conducted?" Lu Yao was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
Given the difficulty of the curvature engine, many civilizations have not researched it for tens of thousands of years, or even until the death of the civilization, so it is normal that it cannot be researched.
But without research that would be abnormal.
This shows that this civilization has not invested any research resources in the curvature engine at all.
Just like the earth in the 21st century, everyone is studying controllable nuclear fusion. Even if it has never been successful, the research is still going on.
But this civilization has not even researched the curvature engine.
It seems that research in this direction has been completely abolished.
In other words, relevant research in this direction is prohibited.
"Can you find a ban? A ban on curvature engine-related research directions?" Lin Xu asked.
"There is no clear ban, but all cutting-edge research projects related to the curvature engine cannot be approved, and the research can only be stalled." Bai Xing searched again as quickly as possible and answered.
"So, although there is no relevant ban on research related to the curvature engine, it is actually banned." Lin Xu nodded slowly.
"So, this civilization has abolished its martial arts, so that the purgers can let them go?" Lu Yao on the side also suddenly realized.
Then he asked doubtfully, "So, if the Cleaners let this place go, it has nothing to do with the local civilization worshiping humans?"
"Maybe it has nothing to do with worshiping humans, but we still can't explain how the local civilization here knows about the existence of humans? We also don't know why the local civilization knows that as long as they don't develop curvature navigation technology, the Cleaners will let them go. Lin Xu shook his head and said.
"Could the purge tell them?" Lu Yao guessed.
"But in the past two thousand years, the Cleaners have not conveyed any information to them, unless the civilization hid the information they received and did not store it in the national database." Lin Xu was thinking about various possibility.
Nan Zhu, who had been immersed in the carnival atmosphere next to him, looked at Lin Xu's frowning expression, and then looked at the laughing crowd in the parade in front, as well as the colorful ribbons sprayed from time to time around, hanging on the parade. people, everyone is laughing.
Nan Zhu rolled his eyes and winked at Mu Xiyue. Mu Xiyue hesitated but nodded.
Then Nan Zhu jumped directly on Lin Xu, pulled Lin Xu and rushed into the crowd. Mu Xiyue took the opportunity to push Lin Xu behind.
The two of them worked together to bring Lin Xu into the carnival crowd.
"Sir Lin Xu, let's play together when we have this rare opportunity. Let's worry about those troublesome things later." Nanzhu's fox ears hidden under her hair popped out a little bit from time to time, but they were quickly covered by her again. Hidden.
The blond girl smiled like a flower and had a youthful air on her face. She hugged Lin Xu's arm tightly and led him into the carnival crowd.
On the other side was Mu Xiyue, who was usually reserved but rarely smiled in the warm atmosphere.
Lin Xu also laughed.
Well, now is the time to party, so forget about those troublesome things.
In this way, Lin Xu also began to enjoy the festive atmosphere.
As the crowds move and cheer, a holographic projection is projected in the sky about the journey of this civilization and this nation from ancient times.
Lin Xu was filled with emotion when he saw it. It can only be said that it is not easy for every civilization to develop.
At this moment, the explanation in the sky progressed to myths and legends.
According to legend, the Son of God came in ancient times and left behind a three-chapter stone tablet to make an agreement with the ancient ancestors.
Looking at what appeared in the sky, ancient warriors who seemed to be still in the Stone Age, wearing animal skins, kneeling on the mountain, met with the Holy Son who descended from the sky, driving a huge sky boat, and took it from the Holy Son's hand. slate.
Lin Xu suddenly thought of something.
"Bai Xing, have you ever investigated myths and legends?" Lin Xu asked.
"There are too many imaginary and weaving stories in mythology." Shirahoshi replied.
"But is there any truth hidden in the myth? For example, is the stone tablet with three chapters of the law real?" Lin Xu asked.
"I will investigate all the museums and everything related to the ancient stone tablets." Shirahoshi replied.
Lin Xu also wanted to go to the museum to see it in person, but he hesitated when he saw Nan Zhu still jumping up and down with joy.
At this time, Nan Zhu jumped on him again, hugged him and spoke directly.
"Master Lin Xu, let's go to the museum!"
"Aren't you going to play anymore?" Lin Xu asked doubtfully.
"Well, we've almost finished playing. It will be like this if we continue to play. Besides, business is important, so I can still distinguish the important from the important." Nan Zhu looked at Lin Xu with a look on his face.
"Okay, let's go." Lin Xu reached out and rubbed her head.
Just like that, the group of people quietly disappeared into the carnival crowd.
Covered in optical camouflage, he soon arrived at the largest national museum in the capital of the Republic of Gumokang.
It is said that the most precious cultural relics in the entire ancient Mugang are collected here, and many orphans can only be found here.
When Lin Xu and his party arrived, Bai Xing had already obtained the database information in the museum, and found records about the stone slab where the Holy Son made an agreement with mortals in ancient times.
It is collected in this national museum.
However, it was not exhibited, but was always regarded as a treasure and kept in the museum's safe.
"I didn't expect that things in myths actually exist." Lu Yao said in a strange tone.
"The so-called myths are not created out of thin air. Even if there are some fabricated parts, at least some of them are true. Of course, the premise is that this civilization is ancient enough and pragmatic enough, and it is not the kind of dream that is regarded as fact. Yes." Nan Zhu explained while shaking his head.
"For example?" Lu Yao asked.
"For example, the largest country in the universe." Nan Zhu replied.
"Ahem." Lin Xu on the side almost choked.
"I understand, you are talking about a certain country on earth in the past, I understand." Lu Yao suddenly realized.
"Huh? Do you know this? I thought you didn't know." Nan Zhu looked surprised.
"You have forgotten that I have played many games of that era. Of course I know this trick. How do you know it?" Lu Yao was puzzled.
"That was the era that Master Lin Xu lived in. I must understand it well." Nan Zhu said matter-of-factly.
The two of them were chatting, and the group had successfully invaded the museum and found the safe.
Using nanorobots to directly take over the defense system of the entire museum is an easy task for Lin Xu and his team.
Until now, the people on duty in the control room were still looking at the normal interior of the museum.
But in fact, Lin Xu and the others had already walked in without anyone noticing.
As for the physically locked safe, it was also easily pried open.
Lin Xu and the others walked around the precious cultural relics preserved inside the museum and came to the stone slab.
I could clearly see the words carved on the stone slab.
It's Chinese characters.
But it's just a few simple phrases.
It has no real meaning.
At the same time, just by getting close to the stone slab, Lin Xu felt that the stone slab was made of the same material as the Cleaner's armor.
Bai Xing then conducted a test and also confirmed that the material of the stone slab was a simplified version of the nanorobot.
At the same time, Bai Xing also read the data from the stone slab.
That's right, this slate is more like a hard drive, and the words engraved on the surface are more like a ritual.
The data recorded inside the slate is the most important thing.
"What is recorded in the data?" Lin Xu asked.
"Records the agreement between the Cleansers, who claim to be the second sons of mankind, and the native civilization."
"This information lists all the prohibited parts of the future research directions of civilization. Those parts are all related to curvature navigation."
"At that time, this civilization was still in the Stone Age, right? To put it bluntly, it was a group of primitive people, right? Did you agree with the primitive people on the future direction of scientific and technological research?" Nan Zhu's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"But this is what the Cleaners did. As early as four thousand years ago, they made an agreement with the local civilization on the future research direction, and informed the local civilization that if it violated the agreement, it would be cleansed. At the same time, every thousand years, the Cleaners would Make an inspection to determine whether the local civilization has complied with the agreement." Bai Xing explained.
"But why did the Cleaners make such an agreement with this local civilization? Neither the previous exile fleet nor the destroyed civilization we encountered had made such an agreement?" Nan Zhu didn't understand. road.
"Is there really something special about this civilization?" Lu Yao mentioned this matter again.
"I think that the destroyed civilizations and exile fleets we encountered before may not have made similar agreements with the Cleaners in ancient times." Lin Xu thought for a while, but then said.
"It can't be said that the destroyed civilization clearly stated in the database that they only learned about the Cleaners after they developed the curvature engine and started their voyage, and met other advanced civilizations. I don’t know.” Nan Zhu asked.
"Yes, they don't know, but is it possible that they have forgotten it long ago?" Lin Xu nodded, shook his head and said.
"Forgot?" Nan Zhu was stunned for a moment.
"How many civilizations on the earth in the past still have memories of ancient times? Most civilizations have lost themselves over a long period of time. Some are ruled by religions and have smashed the legends left by their ancestors. Even if some people still remember the ancient legends, the colonists have already smashed the slate of civilization, leaving only a few legends." Lin Xu sighed.
"So, the exile fleet and the destroyed civilization may have made an agreement with the Cleaners in ancient times, but they have already smashed their own slate in the development of civilization, even if there is still a little legend Memory, without the data in the slate to support it, after they develop, I am afraid they will only regard it as an ordinary myth." Nan Zhu said with some surprise.
"Yes, it is extremely difficult to preserve the stone slabs throughout the development of civilization. They have to span a long time until they have computers that can read the data in the stone slabs. Only then can they understand that the data from the cleansing The warning from the author. Otherwise, it would just be passed down by word of mouth without any stone tablet to support it. I am afraid that the myth would have been deformed in the spread." Lin Xu nodded.
"What about the Holy Father of mankind?" Nan Zhu asked again.
"There are some records about humans in the Slate database, and the Cleaners claim to be the second sons of humans, so it is not surprising that humans and the Cleaners are respected as the Father and the Son respectively. The origin of everything is from For this slate." Lin Xu stretched out his hand to rub this time-honored slate with some emotion.
Although this stone slab is made of simplified nanorobots, the nanorobots are not tightly aggregated, forming a very rock-like structure.
Natural weathering occurs over time, but will not affect the data storage inside unless the stone slab is completely destroyed.
It is actually very easy to destroy the slate, because the strength of this slate is not much stronger than real stone.
"Why did the cleaners back then leave behind such a slate that could be easily destroyed? If the slate cannot be destroyed, wouldn't it be able to be preserved as a warning to future generations?" Nanzhu asked puzzled.
"Maybe this is also a test!" Lin Xu thought for a while and could only come to this conclusion.
"But what exactly are the purgers testing? What is their purpose?" Lu Yao asked confused.
"The Purifier's purpose may have to wait for us to find it ourselves." Lin Xu withdrew his hand on the stone slab.
"Master Lin Xu, don't we take this slate away?" Nan Zhu asked, waving his ears.
Since leaving the street and sneaking into the museum, Nanzhu's ears and tail were finally freed again and no longer needed to be hidden.
"No, let's leave it to them! The data has been read, so this thing is of no use to us, but to them it is proof of the existence of civilization and a precious historical relic." Lin Xu shook his head and said .
"Then are we leaving?" Nan Zhu nodded and asked.
"We've almost completed what we need to investigate. Let's look at the feedback from the other two planets. If there is no updated information, we should leave." Lin Xu nodded.
Soon, Lin Xu and his party returned to the Skylark after completing the preliminary investigation.
At this time, the autonomous mechanical aggregates dispatched by White Star had also sneaked into two other planets and obtained a lot of information.
It's just that there is nothing new in this information, it is all information that is already known.
There is no new thing like a slate.
Four thousand years ago, only the fourth planet in this galaxy had civilization. The civilizations on the other two planets were developed by immigrants after the people on the fourth planet developed aerospace technology.
Obviously, the only people the purges came into contact with four thousand years ago were the ancestors of the Gumo Gang Republic.
And four thousand years have passed, and the descendants of the ancient Mo Gang people still stand at the apex of civilization on this planet. This is the luck of this civilization.
Otherwise, this stone slab would have been smashed by the conquerors long ago.
Just like everything the Spanish did in America.
Intelligent life that has been brainwashed by religion has always been so stupid.
"Have you determined the position and coordinates of the Cleaner when he left?" Lin Xu asked on the Skylark.
"The jump information of the Cleaner when he left has been scanned, and the direction and coordinates of the Cleaner's next jump can be determined." Bai Xing replied.
"Open the space channel, let's continue to catch up and see what the Cleaners will do next." Lin Xu said.
"Master Lin Xu, should we rush to the front of the purifiers?" Nan Zhu thought for a while and suggested.
"Go to the front? You mean to go to the front to block the Cleaners? But we don't know their subsequent route." Lin Xu shook his head and said.
"Baixing, where is the target of the purges this time?" Nan Zhu asked instead.
"The Purifier's target is a galaxy fifty light years away." Shirahoshi replied.
"Is that the closest galaxy to here?" Nan Zhu continued to ask.
"Yes, it's the closest galaxy to here." Shirahoshi replied.
Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized what Nan Zhu meant.
So without waiting for Nan Zhu to continue asking, he spoke directly.
"That galaxy fifty light years away, what is the nearest galaxy?" Lin Xu asked.
Obviously, the Cleaners are cleaning up one galaxy after another, so it is not impossible to get in front of the Cleaners.
"A galaxy eighty light years away." Shirahoshi replied.
"Then the coordinates of this jump are determined to be a galaxy eighty light years away. Let's go there and see if we can block the Cleaners." Lin Xu decided.
"Your will, human Lin Xu." Bai Xing replied.
Following Bai Xing's answer, the space jump channel in front of the Skylark opened.
At the same time, space folding continues in the channel.
Two and a half days passed quickly.
The space fold in the space jump channel has reached eighty light years away.
So the Skylark sailed straight into the space jump channel.
In the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of eighty light years and arrived at the outskirts of the galaxy eighty light years away.
"How is it? Are the cleaners coming?" Lin Xu asked nervously at this time.
Soon, feedback from hyperspace radar and quantum radar arrived.
"There are no signs of the arrival of the Cleaners in the galaxy ahead. The Cleaners have not arrived yet." Shirahoshi replied.
