[ Ether Phase Engine ]
[ Introduction: This is the ultimate megastructure conceived to complete the Natural Disaster Plan. We will use the sun as the focal point to gather enough energy in the real universe and trigger an energy surge to completely break this boundary. After that, the void realm will fuse with the real universe. The end will begin with us, and our entire race will head to a higher workL.lt would probably be like this. Had he really gone to a higher world? ]
[ Special Remarks: Welcome to the world of natural disasters! Hey, isn’t this an Ether Phase Engine? Let’s look at the skull on it! ]
This was an introduction to the Ether Phase Engine, a derivative technology of the Natural Disaster Plan, in Li Wenyuan’s database.
The so-called engine was actually a megastructure installed on the star.
Its function was indeed to push forward, but it was to push forward the rise of a civilization as a whole, and in the process, it would inevitably destroy other life forms.
After the construction of this megastructure, it was very similar to the Dyson sphere and would wrap around the star.
On the contrary, the stars would only be brighter if they were wrapped by the Ether Phase Engine because the Ether Phase Engine used to focus huge amounts of energy would burst out with more dazzling light than the stars.
Li Wenyuan had never seen it before, but humans still had images of the simulated Ether Phase Engine being activated.
It was as if the universe had exploded, and in an instant, all the planets in the Milky Way were destroyed.
The distance of hundreds of thousands of light-years was useless at this time. The entire galaxy suffered an impact at the same time.
Stars collapsed into black holes, and ordinary planets were also shattered by the huge energy impact. Some were even directly knocked out of the gravitational circle of the galaxy.
The atmosphere of the giant gas planet was blown away, and the solid core was as doomed as a normal planet.
Under such an explosion of energy that could destroy a galaxy, no life could escape. The only thing they could rejoice about was that death came in an instant and there was no pain.
It could be said that building an Ether Phase Engine was no different from becoming a natural disaster. Any intellectual life that wanted to survive would resist until the end, and there was no possibility of mediation.
This was also the prerequisite for the Ether Phase Engine – the reason for the name Natural Disaster Plan.
What Li Wenyuan did not expect was that the Ascendant civilization actually used the same method.
When he first learned about it from his memories, although he had guessed that this civilization had taken the same path, the technology they focused on was different. He felt that the Ascendant civilization might have a new way.
However, the Ether Phase Engine discovered here revealed the path of the Ascendant civilization to him.
“Is it because the void realm experts are easy to bully that humans and Ascendants had noticed this sea of energy long ago?”
Li Wenyuan no longer cared about the fleshy planet. Instead, he was interested in the wreckage of the Ether Phase Engine.
It was obvious that the Ascendant civilization had messed up, but there might still be some data left in the wreckage that could help him better understand the history of the Ascendants and try to find traces of the gods in the spiritual world of the Fallen One.
His intuition told him that God was most likely related to the Ascendant.
Therefore, after the spacecraft flew closer, he began to inspect the various parts of the Ether Phase Engine
It was very different from what he had guessed. This Ether Phase Engine had a place similar to a data warehouse, and there were also traces of a large number of mechanical products.
It did not seem to match the dense psionic power atmosphere of the galaxy. However, since the other party was an Ascendant who had tried his best to develop in all aspects, such a contrast could occur.
However, after checking it, Li Wenyuan found that the data storage was completely damaged and could not extract any useful information.
“It makes sense. From the condition of the Ether Phase Engine, it should have been completed or nearly completed. However, the remaining wreckage was destroyed in a big explosion.”
“Although the scale of this explosion is not as powerful as when it was truly activated, destroying this part that is so close to us is still a piece of cake. The fact that it can still maintain a relatively complete framework is already considered to be the advanced technology of the Ascendant civilization…”
Li Wenyuan felt helpless about this fact, but he still refused to give up. He tried to find traces of possibility in this frame.
And this time, he found something.
It was the strongest connection point in the frame, a hemisphere that even the big explosion could not destroy.
Because it was too ordinary and there was no signal, he had initially ignored it.
However, after careful scanning, Li Wenyuan discovered that the place seemed to be an Al control terminal. The style used was even very similar to the style of the Al Planet in his records.
This immediately attracted his full attention, because he knew that all idealistic civilizations had a taboo attitude towards artificial intelligence.
Even though the Ascendant civilization was slightly different, it was essentially an idealistic civilization. There was no mention of artificial intelligence in the known history of the Ascendants.
A large number of drones began to separate the collapsed metal structure in the ruins and soon cleared a passage leading to the hemisphere.
The dark hole seemed to reveal the secret inside, but Li Wenyuan did not hesitate and let the drone team rush in.
Everything along the way was recorded in high-definition images. In addition to the metal passageway that was full of technological style, there were also text and pictures on the walls that were completely different from the style here. They were suspected to be some cult ritual.
Most of them were so old that their original appearance could not be seen, but some words could still be interpreted.
With the knowledge he had obtained from the sealed memories of the Fallen One, Li Wenyuan successfully translated the contents of this part of the text.
“This seems to be a place with a noble and memorable meaning, and it seems to be related to sacrifice, loneliness, and eternity. Why would there be such a place on the Ether Phase Engine?”
As the doubts in their hearts deepened, the drone swarm flew past countless obstacles and finally arrived at the core of the building.
This was a huge inner chamber. The surrounding walls were filled with all kinds of instruments and light-emitting devices. Most of them were damaged, and the rest were dim and dull.
However, there was an extremely eye-catching device placed in the center of this dilapidated inner room, connected to a large number of wires.
The device seemed to be a nutrition cabin. There were holes in it, and the liquid in the cabin had almost been drained. There was only a thin layer of that thing that was still protecting the nutrition cabin.
Li Wenyuan’s heart trembled slightly when he saw that thing.
This was because it was the brain of a creature that had not died yet. It was still emitting a vibrant color and stubbornly lived in this nutrition cabin.
It seemed to have noticed Li Wenyuan’s arrival. The remaining lights around it lit up again, illuminating this lonely world..
