Chapter 35 Abandoned Sentinel Array

  The scientist from the "Turbulent Civilization" has been placed by Li Wenyuan in the research center on Earth. With his joining, the efficiency of the scientific research area for engineering technology research is a little higher.

   At this time, most of the synthetic humans on the earth have been transferred by Li Wenyuan to other galaxies to act as manpower. Some things cannot be completed by construction robots alone, and "humans" must be coordinated from the side.

  And the robot assembly factory is also producing new synthetic humans day and night, and sending them to various places that need manpower, which makes Li Wenyuan feel like a black-hearted boss, endlessly squeezing robots.

   But it's all worth it, he can see through data visualization that his production capacity is thriving, which is much better than the embarrassing situation when he first came here.

  The near-destroyed facilities on the earth have also started a long restoration project. At least Li Wenyuan doesn't want his home planet to remain in a mess.

   Today, after finishing his internal affairs again, he set his sights on a star system some distance away from the solar system.

   There is a ruined interstellar project waiting for his exploration.

  …

   Carroll Galaxy, this is a standard single star system.

  Six planets revolve around a G-type main-sequence star in the center, forming the appearance of this galaxy.

  It looks ordinary at first glance, not much different from the many inconspicuous galaxies in the Milky Way.

   But after focusing on the third planet here, you will find that there is a huge building floating near that planet.

  Its volume far exceeds the scope of normal "buildings", and giants comparable to the size of cities on the planet are only a part of this "building" structure.

  Countless such structures combine with each other, and finally form a giant interstellar building that is not inferior to planets.

   Such buildings are called "megastructures".

  Their functions tend to be simplified, but their efficiency is also magnified countless times under such a large volume base.

  In the Milky Way, such giant buildings can often cause disputes between civilizations, and there are not a few civilizations that fight for this.

  But the giant building in front of me seemed very deserted, and almost no one cared about it.

  A young pirate was sitting in a confined space, biting a low-quality energy bar he found, and asked the pirate leader beside him inarticulately:

   "Boss, why do you think this place can become our old nest? Not every civilization wants to control this kind of giant building. How can we allow us to build nests in it?"

  He ate it deliciously, chewing on the rubber-like energy bar, as if he was eating some delicious food.

  However, several other pirate members looked at the energy bar in their hands and silently threw it aside.

  As the most unpalatable and unnutritious thing in the interstellar world, this thing "swarm of bees" shook his head when he saw it.

  The pirate leader was also chewing the energy bar with difficulty, but he still answered the pirate boy's question while swallowing:

   "This gigantic structure is so dilapidated that it has no value in repairing it. Even dismantling it and selling it as scrap can't make up for the fuel cost, so no one cares about it."

  It took him a lot of effort to swallow the energy bar, and it took a long time in the process to calm down before continuing:

   "However, it is not bad as our hiding place. Although it is dilapidated, there are many such airtight cabins, which can be used to repair and store supplies."

   "And most of the civilizations in the galaxy know that this place is completely abandoned, and they won't come here at all. Only those young people who have just entered the interstellar space will be full of curiosity to inquire about it."

   "Speaking of which, besides us, there used to be a group of pirates here, but they all did the rotten job of killing, stealing, bullying, and bullying. It's been a long time since they appeared, and most of them were kicked to the iron plate."

  The pirate leader speaks eloquently here, and it seems that he has been messing around for a long time.

   And a pirate member who forcibly swallowed the energy bar with a feeling of disgust heard this sentence, and complained nonchalantly:

   "Bullying the weak? It seems that we often do things to those newcomers who are new to space, except for not killing people."

  The pirate leader glared, and forced himself to defend himself: "I want them to know the dangers of Interstellar in advance! Otherwise, with their naivety, sooner or later they will be deceived by those Huanyu companies and lose their pants!"

   "Yes, yes, the boss is right..."

  In the end, the group of pirates suppressed their nausea and swallowed their inferior energy bars. After all, they had been pirates for so many years and hadn’t made much money, so they could only eat this kind of food.

"Let's go after eating. Didn't the lost civilization of the 'Guardian' begin to expand recently? I heard that they are near this star field. We have been nesting here all the time. Maybe we will be cleaned up like garbage. , let’s hurry up and move somewhere.”

  The pirate leader asked his subordinates to take away as much as possible, and then left the galaxy in a hurry.

   They were lucky, because not long after they left here, a small spaceship came here.

   This small spacecraft is a scientific research ship from the "Guardian". It has a clear goal, pointing directly at the giant structure on the third planet.

  “…sensors show that there is a giant building here, but it looks like it has been completely destroyed.”

  Li Wenyuan looked at the huge building in the picture, feeling a little bit less interested.

   "It's the same when I think about it. Keruibo's star map also indicates that there is a destroyed giant structure here. If it can be repaired normally, they will have come to occupy it long ago. How can no one care about it?"

  Although he thought so, the scientific research spacecraft still sent as many drones as possible to scan the giant building.

  Although it is a giant structure that has been destroyed, it may be possible to provide some data for the sixth-level technology "Giant Structure Construction Project" through the remaining wreckage.

  With the scanning of the drone, more and more detailed information about this giant building, and he also received good news.

  【Nearly Abandoned Sentinel Array】

  【Introduction: This gigantic building has been almost destroyed for a long time, but through analysis, we still have the possibility to restore some of its functions. According to speculation, this giant structure existed as a "giant monitor" in the past. Its various facilities can scan space in a huge range, and combine data calculations and simulations to obtain results with an accuracy infinitely close to 100%, thereby realizing the interstellar monitoring of civilization at the space scale]

  【New technologies have been added to the technology tree】

  Li Wenyuan didn't think that there was a possibility of repairing this nearly destroyed giant building, even if only part of it could be repaired.

  He directly called up the technology tree and looked at the newly added technology. If he guessed right, it must be that this new technology can help repair this giant building.

   Sure enough, he saw a new technology on the "living metal" technology tree.

  【Living metal restoration project】

  【Technology Level: 5】

  【Introduction: This almost universal special metal can replace most materials. With it, we can repair those "spectacles" across eras with a limited level of technology]

  【Possible Technology: Living Metal Megastructure Engineering (0.2%)】

   "Living metal? I have quite a lot of this thing." Li Wenyuan immediately built a star base in this galaxy non-stop to swear his sovereignty, and at the same time let the engineering ship pull the living metal to start repairing this giant building.

  Since he had the "dimension manufacturing machine", his living metal resources are not limited to those on the earth. These magical "out of nothing" machines can also produce living metal.

  So after a long period of time, part of the repair work was completed on this destroyed giant structure that had attracted Li Wenyuan's attention.

  It still looks the same tattered, but some of its functions have been restored with the help of living metal.

  【The connection has been established with the sentinel column】

  【Sentry array repair progress: 20%】

  【Monitoring range: small】

  【Do you want to activate the sentinel array? 】

   "Can it only be repaired to this extent? I don't expect too much, let's see its effect first."

  Under Li Wenyuan's order, this ancient abandoned giant structure once again showed a gloomy vitality.

  Starting from the Carroll galaxy, a momentary space fluctuation occurred in the thousands of star systems around.

   This fluctuation passed by in a flash, and it did not have any impact on the interstellar space.

  But there are a few civilizations within the monitoring range of the sentinel array that are not so lucky.

  Everything in their galaxy was exposed in an instant, and the "wide-area blocker" they used to prevent other civilizations from prying did not have any effect, and was burst like a layer of foam by the sentinel array.

   Among them, the weaker civilizations are okay, they don't realize that they have been "seen out".

  But some interstellar civilizations with certain strength fell into chaos in an instant. They realized that the "wide-area interrupter" had failed, and the information in the galaxy was rapidly leaking out.

  They frantically searched for the reason, and quickly launched various condemnations and threats to a star field that was believed to be the location of the "behind the scenes".

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for them to change those messages to "Sorry, I sent it to the wrong place", "Our diplomatic ambassador suffers from serious mental illness, this was a temporary mistake, we have already sent him to prison", "My My pet accidentally pressed the send button, now that I have dealt with it, please don’t worry about it” and other remarks to dissociate the relationship, and then rebuild their “wide area interrupter” in a desperate manner.

  Although they can't prevent this "behind the scenes" from monitoring, they can still guard against other civilizations.

  Even though it would be embarrassing to do so, but losing face together means that everyone is not losing face, and no one has the right to criticize anyone.

  Because they discovered that this "behind the scenes" seemed to be an "omninic civilization" with unfathomable technology, and even repaired a giant building that was deemed "worthless".

  And this civilization, from all aspects, seems to be the "Guardian" lost empire that has been in the limelight recently.
