Chapter 235: Purification Terminal
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The garbage dump galaxy was a standard single galaxy consisting of an F-type star and six barren planets.
Like most galaxies in the Milky Way, this place was ordinary. Although it should not be reduced to a place where garbage was piled, there was no garbage dump in the Milky Way. Many people threw garbage here, so it became a garbage dump galaxy.
How to carry out recycling was something that interstellar civilizations had to consider. Civilizations with the ability would naturally be able to deal with the large amount of waste produced by the rapid development of those civilizations.
However, for many civilizations that had just come into contact with the galaxy or did not rely on their strength to fly, dealing with the garbage they produced was a thankless task.
However, the Milky Way was so vast. Even if one threw the trash away, no one would care, right?
Different from the indigenous society, there were few civilizations or organizations that were sensitive to the galactic environment in the interstellar society.
Most of the so-called environmental protection organizations were protecting the ecology of habitable planets and were disdainful of other worthless planets.
After all, the Milky Way was too big, and these worthless planets were the majority.
Therefore, ever since a certain civilization began to throw trash in one place, there were more such garbage dump galaxies in the Milky Way.
Such places were usually filled with chemical compounds that were extremely difficult to handle and useless, but occasionally, some capitalists in civilizations would abandon the useful garbage because of the cost.
Therefore, some interstellar wanderers made a living by picking up trash, as well as adventurers who had a bad journey and would come to the garbage dump galaxy from time to time to live on the trash inside.
A team of legendary adventurers had fallen to such a state and had to rely on picking up trash to survive.
“Damn it, where did that damned Lone Wolf go? Why didn’t he think about who had led him to create such a great cause? He didn’t think of coming to help us at a time like this. He didn’t even reply to our messages!”
The leader of the adventurer team kept cursing as he used his probe to dig at the trash pile below him.
He was also a legendary adventurer, or rather, a former legendary adventurer.
In that era, almost all interstellar adventurers had heard of his name, because the team he formed created one legend after another in the Milky Way, becoming a well-deserved legendary team in the annals of history.
However, this was the legendary team of the world, but this should have continued to be infinitely glorious when suddenly disappeared.
The other adventurers all said that this team had died in some alien ruin with a huge secret. The treasure they left behind, in addition to countless wealth, also had clues related to this secret, which attracted the fanaticism of countless adventurers.
This end of the legend seemed to be very compatible with their identities, but only the people involved knew that they were just down and out.
Ever since Lone Wolf, a nobody in the legendary team, was fired by them, their careers plummeted and they ended up picking up trash for a living.
Until now, they still could not figure out why their subsequent experiences would change so much with just one person missing.
The leader didn’t understand either, so every time he picked up trash, he would mention Lone Wolf from time to time. His words were filled with resentment.
However, he could scold all he wanted but trash still had to be picked up.
The detector in the leader’s hand suddenly trembled a little. The machine that had accompanied him throughout his legendary life did not let him down. It found something valuable in a pile of non-recycled waste.
He stole a glance at the others. Seeing that they were not looking in his direction, he pretended not to have discovered anything as he scanned the rubbish pile. Soon, he found the source of the strangeness.
It was an abandoned robot.
After all, the leader was also a knowledgeable person. He recognized that this robot model came from the Conqueror Empire.
Now that the Conqueror’s Empire had been destroyed, this robot from the empire might be able to be sold to some collectors at a high price as a cultural relic.
However, moving such a robot would attract attention. Although it was a pity that he could not keep it for himself, the leader was still prepared to call for others to deal with this abandoned robot.
However, just as he was about to call out through the communication device, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the robot moving. When he turned around, he found that the robot was still lifeless. The previous glimpse seemed to be an illusion.
Curiosity surged into the leader’s heart. He was about to reach out and touch the abandoned robot when he suddenly remembered a piece of advice:
“Don’t always be so curious. Sometimes, curiosity can kill.”
He vaguely remembered that Lone Wolf had said that, but why would he, who was already dissatisfied with Lone Wolf, listen to such advice?
In the end, he encountered the abandoned robot.
“Boss, our luck isn’t very good today. Did you find anything?”
An adventurer who was part of the team could not be found for a long time. He was somewhat dejected and hoped that the leader would bring some good news.
However, after waiting for a while without receiving any response, the adventurer felt that something was wrong and called his companions to look for the leader of the party.
She was not worried about his safety, but she suspected that he had found something good and left without saying goodbye.
They didn’t search for long before they found their leader standing motionlessly beside a pile of trash.
They hadn’t been exploring for a long time, so they didn’t notice anything wrong. They just surrounded him.
Halfway through, one of them tripped over something. This person, who was already in a bad mood, did not even look and directly kicked over. However, halfway through his kick, he was firmly grabbed by something.
He looked down and saw an abandoned robot that was buried deep in the trash grab his leg. Its indicator light was flashing dangerously red.
Before he could give a warning, as if he had triggered an alarm, a rustling sound came from the surrounding space.
There was almost no atmosphere on the surface of the planet, so it was reasonable to say that such sounds should not be heard. However, the abandoned robots that stood up one after another around them made the adventurers feel like they were there, and they could not help but imagine the sound in their minds.
They began to scream and use their weapons to deal with this inexplicable robot riot.
However, there were a lot of abandoned robots in this place. They seemed to have gathered here on purpose.
They seemed to understand the fragility of their parts and could only use their numerical advantage to drown this group of organic forms.
No one knew how long this human wave tactic lasted, but the spaceships belonging to this group of adventurers flew back to the galaxy after a period of time.
It didn’t seem to have changed at all, but it maintained a strange silence along the way and didn’t answer any communication requests.
What happened in the garbage dump galaxy was not known to the outside world, but the moment the adventurer spaceship took off, Li Wenyuan’s exploration of the planet that was captured into the sub-space came to an end.
As he had expected, this place was not as clean as it looked. There were still many clues that only he could understand that were placed on the planet.
It was a very familiar large machine. Its outer shell was a wall made of living metal, and inside it was a device surrounded by many pipes and wires.
Li Wenyuan was all too familiar with this structure because the administration matrix on Earth was located in such a device.
Other than the fact that the big ball of light that was the main body of the administration matrix did not appear on this device, the layout of this machine was exactly the same as the administration matrix.
Or rather, the administration matrix was actually built in imitation of this place.
Li Wenyuan also found the information that was not erased.
It was a notice board with the words display information written on it. It seemed to be the museum’s introduction to this item. Due to the vibration, it fell to the ground and covered the side with the information written on it.
It was hard to imagine that such a primitive exhibition method still existed in the interstellar era. Shouldn’t it be displayed using pure electronic projection?
But at this moment, it had indeed given Li Wenyuan information.
On the notice board, it read:
[ Exhibits: Souvenir of the Contingency Agreement ]
[ Introduction: This was once one of the sub-machines of the Contingency Agreement located in this galaxy. We are very fortunate to be able to cut off the connection between the Milky Way and the outside world before this thing is triggered and to perfect it. What you see now is a completely harmless artificial intelligence hub. It can even sing, dance, and rap, as long as there is a suitable body… ]
Looking at the mechanical device in front of him that was very similar to the administration matrix, Li Wenyuan thought for a moment and had the Tiangang Battleship channel energy into the device.
As he had expected, the device did not activate. It only flickered for a moment before it returned to its original lifeless appearance as if something extremely important was missing.
However, it wasn’t as if he had gained nothing. The information that he had received earlier had changed.
The data-damaged portion began to change. A string of garbled characters appeared on it and gradually fixed word by word.
This process was very fast, and it only took less than a second in the real universe. The real introduction of the planet itself was displayed.
[ Name: Special Planetary Machine – Purification Terminal ]
[ Planet Number: CX-9879 ]
[ Planet Type: Al Planet ]
As for the information that it had told Li Wenyuan previously, they were all marked in red and arranged under this string of information..
