Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships

Chen Yu and the AI's voices sounded simultaneously, clearly indicating that both had noticed the anomaly in the 300 images.

"AI, did you also detect the anomaly?"

[Yes, I am now enlarging the anomalous image.]

It appeared to be the interior of a massive structure, where rows of human-like warriors stood neatly aligned.

No, not human warriors, but human-like mechs with carbon-based humanoid physiques.

Because, according to the scans, these mechs were all empty inside.

These mechs had a silver sheen, and each mech warrior held a weapon resembling a laser gun.

If Chen Yu and the AI had seen these mechs on another civilization's planet, they wouldn't have been surprised.

But this was an ancient planet from 12 billion years ago, which shocked both Chen Yu and the AI.

"How could there be human-like mechs here? Could there have been a cosmic human race 12 billion years ago?"

[Captain, this is indeed beyond my comprehension. Although our Level 7 civilization doesn't know when the cosmic human race originated, based on our Level 7 civilization's explorations in the starfield, the earliest cosmic human race only appeared about 3 billion years ago. But here, it's four times earlier, which completely subverts my understanding!]

Chen Yu frowned as he looked at these humanoid mechs.

"Transmit the data of these mechs."

[Understood, Captain. These mechs are generally between 2.5 and 3 meters tall, with internal space just enough to accommodate a cosmic human-like being of about 2 meters.]

"So, their size is similar to our human race. Could this be the ancestor of all cosmic human races?"

[Captain, that's possible. Even if it's not, then where did they come from? Or rather, are they a branch of the cosmic human race's ancestors!]

"AI, your Level 7 civilization probably isn't in the same universe as our Earth, which means that the cosmic human race doesn't just exist in one universe, but in all universes. How did our ancestors spread the cosmic human race to every corner of the universe? Our ancestors must have been a god-level civilization!"

[Captain, you're right. Without wormholes, only a god-level civilization could traverse between two universes.]

"Alright, have the exploration robots bring all those mechs back for research. Don't we have over a thousand Mesolassians on our ship? Find some tall ones and try equipping them with these mechs!"

[Understood, Captain.]

Some exploration robots began transporting the mechs, while others continued exploring the buildings.

Subsequently, the exploration robots also discovered buildings resembling living quarters and business districts within these structures.

Unsurprisingly, they were all technologically advanced.

This made Chen Yu and the AI deeply admire the advanced technology from 12 billion years ago.

If they had continued to develop until now, what would they be like?

It was simply unimaginable.

The AI wanted the exploration robots to find the civilization's intelligent control computer to see if they could decipher some of the civilization's secrets.

However, the intelligent systems with intelligent storage had been severely damaged internally.

The time was simply too long, and no data had been preserved.

Only the mechs and buildings made of special materials were still preserved.

[Captain, all the mechs have been transported back inside the Millennium Falcon. Our robots have conducted extensive searches inside, but there's nothing useful left. After a long time, the materials responsible for storing information have formed a paste under the law of increasing entropy.]

"Alright, I understand. It seems that this is just a ruin abandoned by those ancient human races when they left, and it has no research value anymore!"

[Captain, shall we release the gravity bombs now?]
