Chapter 60 Design

It seems... the void shadow is causing the void to begin to 'divide'.

At that time, the shadow of the void was slowly sinking into the depths of the void, and this process caused the void to separate in different directions.

The survivor civilization believed this, and they called this process separation. It is said that during the whole process, the 'essence' of the void moved in different directions.

After investigation by the survivors, they found that it was mainly caused by the void shadow. The 'sinking' of the void shadow would slowly split the void apart.

It felt like the shadow of the void formed a huge crack, and the essence of the void was something in a state of activity. As they passed through the crack, part of the essence was left on one side and the other part went to the other side.

Although this crack does not cut the entire void, its sinking process will separate the void.

Lin was very interested in this, but Giant Whale did not describe the details.

This is a very slow process, and the impact range is very small, but because the void shadow is growing, the survivors have calculated that it will have a great impact on the void if it continues.

The way to mitigate this effect is to prevent the void shadow from sinking, and this method mainly allows it to maintain contact with the void.

The survivors at this time are mainly some intelligent machines active in different ruins, and they have customized the entire plan by connecting with each other.

The first step they take is to use various means to pull other civilizations into the shadow of the void.

Although the Void Shadow at that time no longer had any entrances or exits connecting to the void, the survivors could still maintain contact with the void. In fact, some of the survivors' machines were in the ruins of the void outside at that time, and they were not all in the tunnel ruins.

Machines in different locations have some way to communicate, so they can get the general situation of the void.

So they started the 'Phantom Ruins' plan that Lin is now familiar with.

However, they did not think of creating phantom ruins at the beginning, but instead tried to open the entrance and exit to the void shadow and then bring things from outside in.

No matter what it was, they thought that as long as they could get more things from the void into it, they would stop sinking, so initially with the cooperation of the survivors inside and outside, they built some 'doors'.

This kind of "door" is a little different from the usual space entrances and exits. It cannot be opened all the time and needs to be charged before it can be activated. The things that can be transmitted each time are limited, and the size of the things transmitted is related to the energy stored in the "door".

The survivors teleported a lot of things into this door, most of which were common floating objects in the void, such as stones, but after many teleportations, they found that there was not much effect.

At first the survivors just thought that what they sent was too little and too small, so they tried to make something bigger, such as a star or something, but in fact they never sent a star in, because before sending such a big thing in, they found that there was a special thing that produced an effect.

That was...some of the creatures at that time.

When the survivors send void objects into the void shadow, they occasionally affect some creatures in the void. They find that some creatures can very weakly bring the void shadow back to normal.

The 'sinking state' of the void shadow generally means sinking deeper and deeper into the 'darkness' of the void, while recovery means turning back into the original ordinary space.

Through research, it was discovered that this seems to be related to the brains of these creatures. Some biological brains seem to establish a connection with a very distant place when they grow and mature. After they enter the void shadow, this connection remains uninterrupted, and this connection can also allow the void shadow to slowly return to normal space.

Lin felt that this 'somewhere far away' might be an unpredictable place.

Non-living things do not have this effect, at least the survivors did not discover it. At the same time, not all living things' brains have this kind of "connection". As far as they discovered at the time, it was more common for the brains of general civilized creatures to have this kind of connection.

Of course, the impact of a small number of creatures was very weak and was actually unable to stop the sinking of the void shadow, so the survivors at the time tried to capture a large number of creatures and put them into the void shadow.

But they soon discovered that the large number of creatures could not solve the problem, mainly because these creatures used a "connection channel" to connect to somewhere far away. When a large number of creatures were together, they would not speed up the recovery of the void shadow, but would only occupy this channel together.

The survivors believe that what they mainly do is to strengthen and expand this connection channel. Although it is connected to "somewhere far away", it will also pull the void shadow back to normal.

So the survivors gave up on using the creatures and instead tried to create various devices to detect how the brains of these creatures used this connection channel to connect to that distant place.

Then they began to imitate biological brains and started their own research. After a series of tests, they finally determined the construction plan for the Phantom Ruins.

In short, the best way to strengthen the channel is to keep the organism in a certain state for a long time.

That is a state of 'destruction and rebirth'. To put it simply, after a civilization is destroyed, a few creatures begin the process of rebuilding civilization. The connection between their brains and somewhere far away can reach the strongest state.

As to why, it is not clear.

The survivors also discovered that the connection strengths of different organisms were different. After careful calculation, they finally decided to design many ruins.

These ruins were built according to different forms of civilization, but in short, they are very close to the styles of these civilizations.

Then use special technology to create an 'illusion', which is what Lin knew before, to make these ruins appear around some civilizations, but they can only touch them when the civilization is really about to perish, and then teleport them as a whole into the shadow of the void.

After entering, the ruins themselves will begin to copy the creatures on them. That is, if these creatures die for some reason, they will be constructed again. Of course, their memories will also be copied according to the originals.

These ruins were originally designed to keep these creatures in a continuous state of reconstruction. They were designed to continue in a state of reconstruction until the Void Shadow returned to normal. As long as the Void Shadow did not recover, they would not complete their reconstruction.

This was the original design, but it seems some problems occurred later.

Just as there are creatures that can pull the void shadow back to normal, there are also creatures that can make the void shadow sink faster.
