Chapter 3053: Similar Things?

Most invaders would describe the indigenous people as ignorant, evil and inferior creatures, to find a 'legitimate' reason for their invasion. x.

But it is said that the Star Alliance will not do so.

When they find that the indigenous people are a threat to them and are unwilling to join them... they will directly launch an attack.

They never tell the public how bad and evil the indigenous people are, they just say "the local residents are hindering our development."

However, it seems that this time is an exception.

They truly believe that the creatures here are evil.

'Boom'

This world... is shaking.

After the golden sphere sent out a signal, Lin noticed that all the 'lakes' here began to become active.

The golden 'lake water' was dancing in the lake, and the ground was shaking continuously.

The strong earthquake created countless cracks on the edge of the lake, and the high-temperature golden liquid inside flowed out of the lake. The liquids from different lakes converged in the cracks.

From the air, it looks like all the lakes are connected together.

According to Xiao Zhou Nao, the first tumbler closest to the star is the one where Lin and the golden sphere are located.

There lives a creature on it, which they call "Golden Eclipse".

It is said that it took them a long time to notice this creature.

Originally, this tumbler was not like this. Its surface was mainly a desert environment, and it was always rife with violent sandstorms.

Having detected suitable resources on the ground, the Star Alliance built several collection stations on the surface.

There were no problems with these collection stations at first, but after a while, they found that there were some problems with the collection machinery.

They...began to rebel.

The collection machine is not a complicated intelligent machine, it just has a simple mining program.

But they discovered that these mining programs had been... rewritten, causing them to perform some complex behaviors.

For example, taking up weapons to attack normal collection machines, or besieging collection stations.

At first, the alliance thought it was the programmers who wrote the program, but after a careful investigation, they found that it was these local... things themselves that had problems.

Since many of the machines at the collection stations are made of minerals collected locally, they discovered that the internal control structures of these machines made of local minerals would change "automatically".

It will not show any performance in the initial stage of its creation, but after a period of time, it may change its own program.

And then they will show...aggression.

As a result, collection stations in various places encountered incidents of mechanical rebellion.

The rebellion of these machines alone is not a big deal, but many of the resources collected here are transported to other places to build many... things.

Almost any machine that contains locally collected materials will mutate... whether it is a collection machine or a warship... the main control system is possible.

After careful research, the Star Alliance finally discovered the reason.

The minerals collected locally contain a very tiny organism.

They are very difficult to detect because they are made of the same material as the surrounding minerals.

But there is a complex system inside.

These 'creatures' are activated when the minerals are used to create something... such as mining machinery.

They will move around in the machine, and this will last for a long time.

The Alliance believes that this is them investigating the entire mechanism.

That is, these 'creatures' initially do not understand the machinery, and they investigate it carefully.

After the investigation was almost complete, we began to modify the control systems of the machines to make them more aggressive.

At the beginning, the Star Alliance did not discover how these creatures understood their system programs.

However, it is clear that these creatures can learn anything given some time.

Later, in further research, the Star Alliance believed that this was a species with division of labor. As long as there were multiple machines infected by these things in the same range, the speed of these machines' rebellion would be much faster.

They believe that these creatures are connected to each other and will share their investigation results with each other.

Since almost everything on this tumbler contained these tiny creatures... they eventually had to abandon this place.

It is said that these microorganisms also became extinct on a large scale after the star mutation, as they also mainly rely on stars for energy.

The method of obtaining it is similar to utilizing light energy, but the Alliance was unable to carefully study their complete ecology at the time.

And now...it's been a long time.

This tumbler has a completely different topography than before.

But it still looks like something is alive here.

The signal from the golden sphere caused it to awaken.

"It...seems to be here."

As the ground continued to shake, the golden sphere suddenly said to Lin: "Maybe... it is in this place."

Lin asked in doubt: "It?"

The golden sphere responded: "It is the creature I mentioned to you before...a creature very similar to you."

Lin continued to ask: "...Really? Where is it?"

"I can only vaguely sense that it is over there."

The golden sphere said this and turned in one direction.

It used signals to point out to Lin that the creature was in a large pit not far away.

The pit is right next to the lake... Its diameter is more than 300 meters, and there is no golden liquid in it at all. It looks like a... dried-up lake.

However, as the ground shook, many cracks spread to the edge of the pit, and the golden liquid also flowed into the pit.

Sui Suilin then flew over there.

When Lin's ball of fluff was about to approach the pit, the pit suddenly shook violently.

The liquid that had just entered flowed out like a spring, and then sprinkled around like raindrops.

There were also a lot of them... sprinkled on the ball of fluff.

Lin discovered that these liquids...were moving on their own.

They were very... sticky, so Lin could see them trying to roll and slide down the fluff's skin.

This was quite interesting, so Lin decided to study these liquids.

At this moment, the pothole ahead continued to erupt.

A large amount of liquid and some hard objects also flew out with the vibration. Lin felt that there must be something underneath.

"Pah!"

While Lin was paying attention to the vibration in front of her... suddenly she noticed a flash of light beside her.

I saw that the golden sphere that was originally floating on the lake had disappeared...it disappeared in the two lights.

But another sphere appeared in its original place, and this sphere seemed to be... a capture ball?

No, it should be the database.
