Chapter 378: Drifting

Many creatures care very much about their own fate.

The same thing goes for this creature.

It was called 'Drifter's House'.

It is a rather special pipe. It does not cultivate civilization on its body, but many creatures still live on it.

These creatures are the Wanderers...that is, various creatures floating in the void.

Some are creatures that already live in the void, while others have to drift in the void for various reasons. This channel receives many such creatures.

Most of the creatures living on this pipe are creatures that do not have the ability to survive in the void. They just float in the void relying on remaining resources and long-term sleep.

When they came into contact with the pipelines, it was as if they had discovered an 'oasis'. They immediately and happily settled down here and started a new life.

The channel itself has never managed the civilizations living on it, but it will deliberately contact those wandering civilized creatures and let them live on it.

As more and more creatures were taken in, it was inevitable that a war would break out between them.

After a long war, a group of creatures on the pipeline signed an agreement. They each occupied a part of the pipeline and called this place "Wanderer's Home".

This is the earliest condition of this pipeline.

It has been wandering around in the void, accepting those floating civilizations, which is actually a very bad thing for the civilizations that have already lived on it.

Although the civilization living on it calls the pipeline the common home of wanderers, they actually don't want to share this home at all. After several powerful civilizations occupied the pipeline, their attitude towards newcomers was to directly eliminate them. If they had research value, they would study them and then eliminate them.

Most of the Drifters had little combat capability and were easily eliminated, but a few showed great strength and caused great damage to the original civilization living on the pipes.

So these civilizations began to study the behavior of pipes.

At first, these civilizations also thought that the pipeline was a... natural object, and it went anywhere randomly, but after they began to study it, they found that the behavior of the pipeline was purposeful. It would especially approach those creatures floating in the void, so they tried to find out why the pipeline was close to these creatures and tried to change the behavior of the pipeline.

That is to say, dig everywhere on the pipe to see if there is any organ, device, or something else that controls the behavior of the pipe.

These creatures discovered some special areas during the excavation process. If they approached that area, they would be prevented by a strong "force". They thought that this area must be the control center of the pipeline...or something like that, so they began to try to force their way into this area.

The powerful 'force' blocking them was mainly some invisible wall or something like that, but this group of creatures found a way to break through the wall and successfully entered the area they believed to be the control center, where they found a huge...control device.

What they actually discovered was a huge underground cave, which contained what looked like a very complex mechanical device.

Through research, these civilized creatures concluded that the pipe they lived in was something like a battleship built by a more powerful civilization than their own. The place they discovered was the control room. Through investigation of the control room, they believed that they could control the pipe. Not only would they no longer be harassed by those floating creatures, but they could also go wherever they wanted.

Of course, they only thought so at the time, but they found it difficult to actually control it. They studied for a long time before they knew how to adjust the direction of the pipeline.

Moreover, after each adjustment, there is a long period of time when the pipeline cannot be adjusted again, and during this period of time, the pipeline will change its course by itself. Therefore, the control room does not let them go wherever they want, but only temporarily adjusts the direction to avoid floating objects when it detects them ahead.

Therefore, these civilizations are still constantly trying to find ways to control the pipelines, so they also continue to conduct various investigations in the control room.

However, they have never been able to fully control the actions of the pipeline.

At least, they can avoid every floating object, so no matter whether there are any living creatures on the floating objects... they will not encounter them.

But these civilized creatures can only avoid floating objects that they can detect.

Pipelines will encounter a lot of floating objects during their drifting process. They will first detect the location of these floating objects, speculate whether there is a threat, and then decide whether to avoid them.

But there are also things they can't detect at all, and things they detect for a little while and then disappear.

These hard-to-detect floating objects are of course also difficult to avoid. At the same time, there are usually powerful creatures on them, or the floating objects themselves are powerful creatures.

They pose a serious threat to the civilization on the pipeline, so the civilization on the pipeline is constantly improving their detection systems in order to avoid all threats.

Later on, they were indeed able to avoid most of the threats they encountered in the void, but they were still often attacked by foreign objects. That was because the activity area of ​​the pipeline had changed. It began to wander mainly between the "borders" of the void and the void, where there were also many powerful creatures that could travel through space.

As a result, the civilization on the pipeline was constantly attacked by newly encountered powerful creatures... and eventually completely destroyed.

After their demise, new creatures settled in the pipeline, and they took exactly the same route as the previous civilization. They also began to try to occupy various areas of the pipeline and control the movement of the pipeline, but in the end they all perished because they kept encountering increasingly powerful newcomers.

These newcomers then proceed to colonize the pipeline, continuing on their previous path.

This is also why the civilizations in the 'Home of Wanderers' have become increasingly powerful. It has never directly controlled these civilizations, but these civilizations have been constantly repeating the same path, settling down, then perishing, and being replaced by more powerful newcomers.

And while carrying these civilizations on its journey, it is also constantly moving towards more wonderful places.

At first it was just floating in the normal void, and then it slowly moved towards the gap between the void and the virtual space, and places like the space with various strange rules.
