Chapter 2379 Stellar Residents

This is an ancient legend...

According to legend, this was originally a prosperous place.

Once, the star was surrounded by ten huge 'rings'.

Specifically, the 'ring' is a structure that is several times wider than the star itself, but very thin.

In addition to the rings, this star also attracts multiple tumblers orbiting around it, as is common with stars.

There are many creatures living on each tumbler. Some of them have established civilizations and are slowly growing stronger.

A civilized species became interested in the rings around the star...at some point they successfully approached the rings and landed on them.

For this species, they couldn't figure out how the rings were formed, but they discovered a creature living on them.

This creature is what Lin knows as... the Phoenix.

Of course, civilized species have given the Phoenix other names, but they generally call it the 'Ring of Fire'.

According to past records, Phoenix often drove wonderful vehicles to and from the stars and the rings, and they communicated with civilized species that came to the rings.

The Phoenixes behaved...very hospitable, and were eager to learn everything about the new species.

The civilized species that came to the circle were also constantly learning about the Phoenix.

Soon, these species became very...interested in Phoenix's use of stellar energy and tried to learn the technology involved.

Of course Phoenix had no objection, and through mutual learning, they developed the technology to a new level.

Eventually, they decided to build large numbers of plates around their stars, which are the platforms we see today.

Transfer the entire civilization to the stars... and develop by sticking to the stars.

And then... nothing happened.

…………

"That's what they say."

This is a place called a 'residential area', or more precisely, a primary residential area.

It is not because the residents here are new, but because the residents are all about one meter tall, so they are called this name.

The place in general is very much like...a beehive.

The entire platform is composed of a large number of hexagonal "room holes".

Each hexagonal room hole has a diameter of more than ten meters. There is a door on the top that can be opened, and entering is the resident's room.

Lin's pompom was also assigned to a hexagonal room. The interior of the hexagonal room was originally an empty space, but the residents could adjust it at will.

There is a "mind adjuster" in the center of the room. Lin discovered that this thing can detect the thinking systems of various creatures and generate furniture according to the requirements of these creatures.

At the same time, you can also set gravity, which can be directed in any direction. Of course, you can also cancel gravity and let everything float.

And all residents here can get a small prop called a 'gravity remote control'.

This is a prop that can adjust gravity after leaving the room, which makes the residents here usually float in the air after leaving the room instead of moving by stepping on the door.

Lin thought this place was quite interesting, and...it seemed that gravity could be used quite casually here.

This situation is quite rare, and even bus creatures find it difficult to distribute gravity in this way.

When Lin first arrived, she did not set up the furniture, but instead found a neighbor to chat with.

This neighbor lives in a hexagonal house next to the ball of fluff.

It claimed to be a resident of the "Crackling Star Cluster". Because the gravity remote control has a translation function, Lin can communicate with it.

This "neighbor" is essentially a solidified creature. Its outer layer is mainly composed of metal, which is also quite common on Ersh. Inside it is a core made of solidified material. This core can send commands to its mechanical body to make it move.

It looks like a jar with a robotic arm on the top and bottom.

So Lin called it...the crackling pot.

After Lin chatted with it for a while, the crackling jar indicated that it had lived here for some time.

After coming here, it tried to understand everything here, but at first it found that there was very little to know.

Because it is very similar to Lin, it was initially taught by a 'teacher' who looked very similar to it, but this teacher only told it the names of nearby objects, and then let it live in this residential area.

It slowly figured out how to arrange things in the residential area on its own.

According to it, some creatures here starved to death before they figured out how to deal with this stuff.

This is indeed possible, because the gravity remote control here, as well as props such as adjusting furniture, are actually quite complicated...

Even for creatures with the intelligence level of the Ershi people, it might take many days and nights to complete it.

During this period they may not have access to any water or food.

However, because the Pi Pi Pot itself is not a creature that needs to eat frequently, it has managed to survive to the point of getting everything right.

But its knowledge of this place is limited to some simple...historical legends.

That's what it told Lin just now.

But it also knew that the main creatures here were... Phoenix-like creatures.

It means that there are quite a lot of types of Phoenix creatures. Unlike other creatures, they can control the gravitational flow here and go to any platform without using props.

It hasn't figured out many of the functions of these platforms yet, but generally speaking... this is indeed the country established by Phoenix.

In the historical legends of the past, these platforms were built by Phoenix and a group of civilized creatures, but where did that group of civilized creatures go? It didn't know either.

The reason why there are so many other residents here is because... Phoenix likes to launch something called a "resident ball", which is a flying vehicle.

Every once in a while, the Phoenix will launch a bunch of resident balls into the void, and after about thirty fluff balls of time, these balls will return.

And for some reason there are always some creatures in there. As long as they are intelligent enough, Phoenix will arrange for them to live here.

Because most of the creatures living here feel... confused, so they always try to investigate the Phoenix, but they don't find much.

The main thing is that the movement of creatures here is restricted, and there are many platforms that cannot be reached.

It’s not that you’re not allowed to go, but… you can’t get there.

But Lin felt that it should be very easy for her to go.

Anyway, the lives of these phoenixes...seem quite interesting.

It was very different from what Lin knew before.

But speaking of it, none of the phoenixes Lin had met before had ever mentioned what happened here.
