The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Fruit of Harduin!" At this moment, Alice suddenly exclaimed, and ran towards a small pyramid-like platform in the distance, regardless of whether there was any danger in the strange environment around her.

Leo also looked in that direction when he heard the words, and saw a device on the platform that Leo didn't know the purpose of. The bottom of the device was connected to the pyramid, and energy was continuously introduced into the device through the energy conduit. Then inject it into a very weird fruit suspended in the center of the device through the device.

The reason why the fruit of Harduying is said to be weird is that anyone who sees it will naturally think that it is a fruit and will not have other associations, but the problem is that its shape and fruit are completely different.

It is like some kind of completely stripped neural network. Under the stimulation of injected energy, nerve currents are generated from the nerve nodes and spread along the neural network to form layers of gorgeous brilliance. It makes people feel weird, but it looks very charming.

"If I were you, the most important thing is not to touch it." Seeing that Alice had rushed to the high platform of the pyramid, Leo couldn't help reminding loudly.

Perhaps it was Leo's voice that awakened Alice from her desire for the fruit of Harduin in time, or maybe Alice's own reason prevailed, and she finally stopped beside the device, and the energy used by the end projector The flow maintains a certain distance.

"What is this?" Alice walked back and forth impatiently, then turned her head and asked Leo who was walking over.

"I don't know." Leo shook his head and replied truthfully.

"I don't know? You don't know." Alice was stunned for a while, obviously she didn't believe Leo's words. After all, Leo's previous behaviors all showed that he knew this place very well.

"Of course I don't need to know. I'm not the owner of this place. How could I know everything here?" Leo replied truthfully, then bypassed Alice, walked to the edge of the device's safe distance, and squatted down. Lowering down, he carefully looked at a line of inconspicuous words on the bottom of the device casing.

Although Alice didn't understand why Leo was staring at the decorative pattern, but she could see the serious expression on Leo's face, and thought there might be something wrong there, so she also went to take a closer look. He stood up, as if he wanted to find out why.

On the other side, the Eyeless Nanny and the female leader seemed to be guided towards the area of ​​the debugging chamber, walked quickly in front of each debugging chamber, and carefully inspected the alien experimental subjects in the debugging chamber. As if looking for something.

Leo ignored the actions of Alice and others. He was completely shocked by the text under this device. Although he knew from the previous situations that the Via people were bold and reckless, they did a lot of things that were banned by the Supreme Council. He even used various forbidden technologies, but he never thought that the Via people would be so bold as to be involved with the outsider civilization, and may even have a deep connection, and obtained some unknown science and technology from the outsider civilization.

The universe is huge, almost infinite. Even the Omega-level advanced life forms of the highest council of the universe will each spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of years exploring and developing unknown regions of the universe, but there is still no way to find them. Where is the edge of the universe? Even for a long time, members of the Supreme Council of the Universe have considered whether they should change the name of the Supreme Council, because they really cannot represent the entire universe.

For a long time in the past, the Supreme Council of the universe and all advanced civilizations believed that the universe had an end and a boundary, because during that time, the development of the known universe stopped, and the reason for stopping the progress was the known The dead zone at the edge of the universe.

Even the supreme beings of the highest council of the universe don't know how big the dead zone is. The only thing they know is that there are no life forms or conventional material bodies in the dead zone, and there are only endless energy rays, and these The types of energy rays are also endless, and so far it has not been possible to count the number of energy rays in the dead zone. But what is certain is that among these energy rays, there are many rays that also pose a fatal threat to omega-level advanced life forms.

Among the members of the supreme council of the universe, there is an Omega-level advanced life form known for its speed. It is said that he evolved from an energy ray to generate wisdom. What is the problem? He entered the dead zone alone and started a journey of 30 million years in the dead zone.

After 30 million years, he, who was extremely weak, brought back the most detailed information inside the dead zone, and then died of illness.

That's right, an Omega-level advanced life form, which is still formless and composed of energy, eventually got sick like an ordinary person, and even died of it. Everyone thought it was a joke, but no one took it seriously.

But for the members of the Supreme Council who finally came into contact with this high-level life form, they knew that this joke was a fact. Obviously, this 30 million-year journey to the dead zone has been brought about by this omega-level high-level life form. In the end, it was a miracle that this congressman was able to return to the Supreme Council and hand over the information of the death zone to them.

After interpreting the dead zone data brought back by the congressman, they found that this high-level life form had been exploring the end of the dead zone for the past 13 million years, but found nothing.

At this time, he found that his body had irreparable damage, and the damage was still accumulating and strengthening, so he walked back, and it took seventeen million years to return to the known universe.

It is precisely because of the first-hand information about the dead zone brought by this advanced living body that the Supreme Council of the universe mistakenly believes that the dead zone is the boundary of the universe, and this boundary is endless without any living beings.

Although this view has not been announced to the public because of the prudent attitude of the Supreme Council, it is no different from the theorems for the higher civilizations under the Council.

And this false theorem was not broken by the appearance of outsider civilization until the 170,000 years before the Earth Federation entered the advanced civilization.

The first fleet to encounter alien civilization was the smuggling fleet in the dark zone. Although it was a smuggling fleet, the fleet was equipped with very powerful weapons, stronger than the main fleet of most advanced civilizations in the universe. The attack, the smuggling fleet was completely powerless to fight back, and it was completely wiped out before it even had time to surrender.

Afterwards, the fleet of the outsider civilization quickly conquered hundreds of galaxies and more than a dozen advanced civilizations on the edge of the dead zone in less than three hundred years, relying on their powerful technology far surpassing that of all advanced civilizations. In the civilization with auditoriums in the Supreme Council, even in the battle of conquest, three Omega-level advanced life forms owned by higher civilizations died in the weapons of outsider civilizations.

When this incident was reported to the Supreme Council, it caused a great commotion, because this was the only time since recorded records that an Omega-level advanced life body actually died in a weapon invented by science and technology. Lifeforms cause damage, but those injuries are not fatal. Omega-level advanced lifeforms can always retain their cores, leave the battlefield, and be resurrected before receiving fatal damage. But this time, the three Omega-level advanced life forms died under the weapons of the outsider civilization without even a chance to escape.

However, just when the Supreme Council decided to launch an all-out war against the outsider civilization, a completely unexpected thing happened. The aliens in the outsider civilization suddenly died in large numbers without any warning, and they were unable to use any effective means. In this way, the outsider civilization that the Supreme Council had to pay attention to died in less than a year.

Afterwards, the Supreme Council investigated this matter and found that the cause of these alien civilization aliens was the psionic energy that filled the entire known universe, as if the psionic energy had become a deadly virus in these alien civilizations.

At this time, the Supreme Council still didn't know where this civilization came from. It wasn't until they studied the various equipment left by this civilization that they discovered that this mysterious and powerful fleet came from the other side of the dead zone , and this is not the first time they have come here. In fact, they have traveled through the dead zone to the known universe thousands of years ago, and have even had contact with civilizations in this universe. It wasn't very long, so they didn't find that the psionic energy flooding this known universe was fatal to them.

Although the Supreme Council unlocked the database of the outsider civilization, it is a pity that the leaders of the outsider civilization seemed to know that their death was inevitable, so they destroyed all the flight recorders and data that passed through the dead zone before that, the Supreme Council It can only be judged by the residual energy attached to their mothership that they traveled through the dead zone through the subspace.

After that, the Supreme Council sealed up all the materials and technological devices about the outsider civilization, put those higher civilizations that had contact with the outsider civilization under house arrest, and held these civilizations accountable, and even downgraded these civilizations directly to Low civilization sequence.

For a long period of time, the advanced civilizations in the universe did not know the existence of outsider civilizations. They just thought that the war that took place at the edge of the known universe was a war between advanced civilizations. The truth of the truth began to spread, and the alien civilization has become a hot spot for the research of various advanced civilizations. These studies are not limited to the technology of the alien civilization, but also the language and characters of the alien civilization.

Now Leo sees the text of the outsider civilization from the pyramid-like device in front of him. The device that comes to mind is the device of the outsider civilization, and he can get a complete outsider civilization device under the high supervision of the Supreme Council. It is not some scientific and technological information deliberately disseminated by the Supreme Council, then there are only advanced civilizations that have contacted and traded with outsider civilizations, and the Via people are obviously one of them.

Now that I think about it carefully, I can indeed find some clues. For example, the technology of the Via people has improved by leaps and bounds in a period of time. It is about the same size as an asteroid, and their subspace navigation technology has also been greatly improved during this period, and this period of time happens to be the time when the alien civilization sneaked into the known universe.

Thinking about it again, the alien civilization was able to conquer so many galaxies and advanced civilizations within a hundred years without much damage to itself. Obviously, it is very familiar with the technology, weapons and even various fortifications of those galaxies and civilizations. , so that it can easily defeat the fleets of these advanced civilizations, destroy the secret bases of these civilizations, and so on.

Even the outsider civilization can effectively deploy weapons against the weaknesses of the three Omega-level high-level life forms, so that they can kill the three Omega-level high-level life forms in the shortest time and most effectively. People who know the higher civilizations of the universe are providing a lot of information to outsider civilizations.

It is also for this reason that the Supreme Council targeted the high-level civilizations that were found to be in contact with outsider civilizations as targets of information, and imposed very severe punishments on these high-level civilizations.

But now it seems that the Supreme Council has clearly punished the wrong person. If they want to provide such detailed and accurate information, then the information provider must have a very close connection with these civilizations, even close enough to be able to freely enter and leave the secret bases of those civilizations .

The higher civilizations punished by the Supreme Council are far away from the galaxies invaded by outsider civilizations, and they don’t have any conflicts of interest, and they don’t have too close contacts. They just have the same relationship as most of the other higher civilizations. The relationship between meeting and greeting, so it is absolutely impossible for those civilizations to obtain such detailed and targeted intelligence information.

But if this matter is placed on the Weiyaren, then the matter makes sense. As a wandering race, the Weiya people have a very close relationship with almost all advanced civilizations in the universe. The transactions between civilizations also involve the core technology and intelligence of each civilization, so it is very difficult for others to obtain information. For the Weiya people, it is a piece of cake.

At this moment, Leo looked at the research base with a different look, because in this base, almost 90% of the devices have the same shape and other details as this pyramid-like device, so that is to say here The vast majority of devices are devices of outsider civilizations.

It’s fine if it’s just one or two devices of the outsider civilization. The current research base is obviously based on the technology of the outsider civilization. The abnormality also made Leo think of another unbelievable possibility.
