Chapter 377: The Distant Wanderer
"We... come from a faraway place, a place shrouded in mechanical smoke."
From the mouth of the 'scholar', Pom Pom heard a lot of things about the imaginary people.
The tumblers where the Voidlings originally lived, they liked to call them "cue balls", although it sounded weird, it didn't seem to be a big problem.
In fact, scholars have never seen their real hometown.
It was born in the 'Wandering', which is the name of their headquarters, which is the huge object that can see floating in the void...
In fact, it doesn't have the word 'number', which was added by Lin herself.
It has a body shape of more than ten kilometers in diameter. It is a void wandering tool made by the virtual people with all their strength. It has perfect living equipment inside, just like a small city.
There are colleges, factories, residences, and farms, etc., where many virtual people were born and grew up.
At the same time, it is also equipped with a variety of large ships. These fleets are connected around the 'Wandering' and can be released at any time for combat or plundering, or operations such as collection.
However, it seems that the Voidlings are experiencing a battle with alien creatures for the first time.
It's been a long, long time before that... In fact, it's not too long, for Lin.
Scholars don't know much about their cue ball hometown, but it can tell a lot about it from the records.
And the reason for the birth of the 'Wanderer'.
Because the virtual people on the cue ball are already full, it can be said that the population expansion has reached an extreme point, and they need another place for them to live...
However, they don't have the technology to travel in the void. It's no problem to fly up and hang around, but they can't travel for those long distances.
In fact, even at the limit of speed, the places where they can live are so far away that they don't even know where to live.
There are some other tumblers floating around the cue ball. However, the environment in those places is unstable and it is difficult to live.
Moreover, for a variety of reasons, their development technology seems to have reached a "bottleneck", and it is difficult to make further progress.
The technology for long-distance void travel has also been unavailable.
In this way, the Voidlings had to limit the reproduction of the entire group to ensure that their cue balls would not be under too much pressure.
But they knew the plan would not last long. They need to find solutions.
And they did not despair. By chance, they got a special thing.
This event has been called 'one of the seven most important historical events', and scholars have learned it many times in history teaching...
A monster attacked their cue ball, an incredibly large monster. Their weapons are almost useless against it.
However, this monster did not destroy the entire imaginary group, it just swept a few cities, and then left...
It ate a lot of Voidlings, but it also left something behind. According to the description of scholars, Lin thinks that this creature is likely to be a void bus...
This creature, while causing destruction, is also of great help to them. One of the things it left behind was called a 'power twisting device', although I don't know why they are called this strange name, but this thing seems to have an ability of the void bus.
Take a long trip.
The scholars of the virtual people have spent a lot of time studying this device. According to the description, this thing looks like a biological internal organ, but it is composed of substances they have never seen before...
Therefore, after researching it for a long time, they can't understand the operation mode and principle of this thing, let alone create one.
but. They did learn how to activate it.
This device is like a void bus, which can send something far away, even in the distant void, and it can arrive almost instantly.
However, it has a fixed teleportation location and cannot go anywhere.
After this, Xumin scholars began to study its use diligently. Confirm where it actually got by actually flying out some aircraft.
With the Void Sight and various operations, they have identified some locations, and they have found that there may be some habitable tumblers near these locations.
So, they started a huge plan. All virtual nations are participating in this plan.
Lin found that they seemed to be divided into many countries, and there were often conflicts between them, and this union was unprecedented.
They mobilized all the national power, transported a large amount of materials to the void for assembly, and finally completed their masterpiece - this is the 'Wandering', a huge void mechanical island.
At the same time, they also began to assemble their own Void Fleet. The excavation ships that Lin saw were actually from different countries.
Then, they began sending the Voyager to the far-flung void in order to find new habitable places.
In order to guard against alien creatures, they are equipped with the latest weapons.
The 'power twisting device' is actually divided into two parts, one part is used to put on the thing to be transmitted, and the other part is used to start the transmission.
It is divided into a starter and a transmitter, one part is placed on the wandering number, and the other part is placed on the cue ball to start.
They succeeded in teleporting the massive object to the distant void.
But later, some problems occurred.
They didn't find habitable places, and what was thought to be habitable places was actually... an observational error.
Later, the Wandering did not go back, and the virtual people decided to start looking for it directly in this place.
It is just like its name, wandering in the void.
After this, a long time has passed.
They searched for a place to live, and the scholar was born at this time, and they did not find a suitable place until it was an adult.
But by chance, they found a strange tumbler.
The tumbler seems to be alive, it behaves completely different from other tumblers, it seems to move on its own.
They called the tumbler 'Magic' meaning 'Unbound'.
They sent some detectors to this place, and one of the detectors seemed to have a problem. It was said that it was hit by something, but it was not completely damaged. It was still able to send signals and traveled far away.
And they found their goal following this signal... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users Please read on.)
