The beacon is the inheritance and warning left by the previous generation of Prothean civilization to the future. 【Read the latest chapter】

You must know that the demise of an entire civilization does not happen in an instant - from the invasion of the Reapers to the complete destruction of the Prothean Empire, the Protheans resisted for hundreds of years. In these hundreds of years, the Protheans have made countless "other preparations" in addition to war!

These "other preparations" are to prevent follow-up measures once the Prothean civilization is really exterminated.

For example, build a large number of dormant cabins, try to preserve some of the precious tribesmen, and rebuild the Prothean Empire after the Reapers leave! Unfortunately, if they have watched the TV series shot by Lu Yuan, they should know that they are not the first civilization to think and do this. But all attempts to do this in reincarnation have failed, because the Reapers will use the "civilization" ability to instigate traitors in civilization and then know where they are hiding.

In Ai Ziyou's memories, there have been civilizations that have succeeded - they successfully avoided the reapers' detection and instigation, and really hid some of their tribesmen.

Unfortunately, the logic of AI is extremely strict. They said that they would kill all the races in the entire cycle and enter the galactic era, so they would definitely kill them all! Therefore, when those people woke up from their slumber, they were quickly known by the Reapers - and then the Reapers returned from the dark universe in advance and killed them all!

By the end of the Empire, the Protheans knew there was nothing they could do to save themselves. But being slaughtered and harvested...the hatred and anger accumulated for hundreds of years made them desperate to take revenge on the reapers! They do this at all costs!

In addition to continuing the work of the Prothean Empire, they will also devote their energy to "ripening" the indigenous civilizations that have not yet entered the galaxy and are not included in the harvest, hoping that these civilizations can avenge the Prothean Empire! These include Asari, Turui, Salarian... and even humans. The Prothean Observatory discovered by humans on Mars was one of the working bases at that time.

The Protheans engraved their extremely precious knowledge and technology on the recording material without reservation, trying to pass it on to the next generation! This includes "beacons". Because the materials and principles that make up the "beacon" are different, this special information storage device can store the information to be saved for 50,000 years! It not only contains warning information about the Reaper invasion, but also stores a lot of Prothean technological data and cultural information.

The "beacon" that Lu Yuan obtained from the pirate base contained a large amount of Prothean technology on planetary transformation, and the results were amazing! Without reading this information, it would be difficult for humans to believe that Planet Eden is not a naturally formed garden planet! ——As early as 100,000 years ago, this place was still full of ammonia seas and volcanoes! It was the Protheans who transformed this world into a livable world!

Although there are very few existing "beacons" discovered now, there are actually only two - one in Asari's temple and the other on the Dawn Mothership - but this thing was inserted all over the place. Galaxy!

It's just that there are too few "beacons" that can be completely preserved and can be analyzed. Because the Protheans thought of everything, but they didn't expect that the next generation's civilization would develop so poorly...

Among the indigenous civilizations guided by the Protheans, the Protheans were the most optimistic about the Asari's prospects - think about it, with a lifespan of thousands of years, innate superpowers... they are indeed full of the aura of the protagonist!

Therefore, what the Protheans prefer is to leave an open "beacon" for the Asari on the Asari's home planet, specifically to guide the evolution of the Asari race.

It's a pity that they hope that the Asari can surpass them (because the Protheans have proven to be failures, but the Asari worship their guidance as gods! This group of women is obsessed with discovering Protheans across the galaxy. Immortal relics, studying their society, economy, culture and other "useless" things! And they also beautified them according to their own ideas - such as the "hegemonism" of the Prothean Empire, which was beautified by Asari into " Philanthropy"; Prothean's arbitrary promotion of the development process of each civilization was beautified by Asari into "helping the development of civilization"...

If the krogan guys learn this truth, they will definitely say the taboo word-"woman!"

After deceiving the entire galaxy for thousands of years, the Asari have deceived themselves...

The roadmap the Protheans have built for Asari should be like this: rely on Protheans technology to set foot in the universe - discover repeaters - discover the Citadel - unify the galaxy - build a powerful empire! ——Integrate the combat power of the entire galaxy-defeat the Reapers!

As a result, the Asari's own development is as follows: Relying on Prothean technology to set foot in the universe - discovering repeaters - discovering the Citadel - establishing the council (mo - the Salarians joining the council (mo - Rekna War, krogan rebellion, turians join the council and become the third race (silent - world peace (tears...

There is peace!

Asari actually only developed into a weakened and abridged version of the Prothean civilization, and she was also a pacifist! Not only did they not seek hegemony, they also proactively advocated the establishment of the Citadel Council—resulting in the harvest approaching fifty thousand years ago, and the galaxy is still torn apart! The star field occupied by the Citadel Council is only one-third of the light star field...

If the Protheans found out, they would be so angry that they would vomit three liters of blood! Jump out of the grave and die again!

*****

We won’t continue to complain about Asari. You all know that not all women are Wu Mei Niang... This pit dug by the Protheans has been a trap for themselves from the beginning! If it weren't for the incomparably domineering Sister Xue who finally took care of everything, the Proxian people would have died with their eyes open...

Although Eden has a population of millions of immigrants, before Lu Yuan set up the arsenal, it was an agricultural planet and nothing major had happened in decades. Now, a Prothean ruin was suddenly excavated, which immediately aroused great interest in the colony - reflected in reality, it is a 24-hour rolling broadcast of news.

What was said in the news was too detailed - Lu Yuan squatted in front of the TV with the remote control, and within an hour he had a clear understanding of the entire ruins inside and out. It is said that these archaeological experts have no sense of confidentiality at all...

Lu Yuan originally settled on Eden Planet just to look for the beacon that appeared in the news. Unexpectedly, this beacon could not be found, but by some strange combination of circumstances, it was discovered by the Quarians from the Phoenix Cluster Star Field and was regarded as a beacon of ordinary Prothean items.

The main content in the news now is this major discovery. Apparently those human archaeologists also regarded the "beacon" as an ordinary Prothean relic, and casually mixed it with the excavated things.

But the Asari definitely know the value of this thing! Once the news footage is seen by an Asari executive who has seen the beacon, they will react immediately... By then, Lu Yuan may not have a chance to come into contact with the beacon again.

"Have I told you? What happened to the eldest son of the Old Tang family... He is chasing a new garrison sergeant... Ha, I have to say, that girl has a really hot figure! But I feel that the eldest son of the Old Tang family This time we are going to be unlucky. Although that woman may seem very easy-going, she is actually a very arrogant person. I dare say she looks down on everyone on Eden! She must also look down on Boss Tang..." John was behind the bar. He said nonchalantly, "Lao Lu, what do you think?"

It was quiet in the bar, except for the sound of the news, there was no sound.

"Old Lu...Lu Yuan?" John shouted twice. He strangely leaned out of the bar and looked at where Lu Yuan was sitting.

The TV was still on, the remote control was on the seat, and there was still half a glass of wine left, but Lu Yuan... left quietly at some point.

Late at night, in the southwest of the colonial settlement, in the excavation pit dozens of kilometers wide...

The surrounding interview vehicles have all left. After a day's work, both archaeologists and excavation engineers need to take a good rest. The important thing when excavating ruins is patience, not speed - after all, that thing has been buried underground for 50,000 years, it won't run away on its own, right?

It is still a colonial container-style house, with the living area arranged in the shape of the word "Hui". Most people were dining in the West End, where a small party was being held - after being splashed across the news, the archaeological mission had gained a new sponsor. The funds they had always been short of finally became abundant.

Lu Yuan's body was hidden in the shadow of the container, so close that no one noticed it. Because he wears an environment-changing battle suit, he almost blends in with the shadows.

"Everything is piled up in the East Fourth District?...News is really convenient." Lu Yuan put down his visor and disappeared silently into the dark night like a drop of ink. Sneaking into such a camp was too easy for him, Lu Yuan...

Galaxy deep space.

A huge, blue-black bug-shaped battleship is flying rapidly towards the "Traveler Galaxy"! There are five huge pointed claws in the front of the hull, shining with a dark metallic luster in the deep black universe! The entire battleship is two kilometers long, with biological arcs and metal structures on the sides... It is the Reaper's battleship that has destroyed countless civilizations, the "Overlord"!

Behind it is an endless stretch of small geth troop transports. Thousands of geth composite bodies made crouching movements like humans, curled up to the smallest size, and were neatly arranged in the cabin. These geth are a group that broke away from the geth and turned their allegiance to Saren and the Reapers.

Saren, the ghost of the Citadel, the genius among the Turians, and now the betrayer of the galaxy - is standing alone behind the porthole, looking at the distant deep sky, the galaxies that are getting closer and closer.

On a screen next to him, the news of Eden Star was scrolling, and the "beacon" was clearly marked! r1152
