Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

but...

After repeated pleas from the Dragon Worship Cult, Nidian also told them the solution:

If the corpse of another etheric dragon can be found, and its eggs are brought intact to the corpse for nirvana, it can start a new life process.

And on the "Selected Ark of Life" created by the 'Venerable', there is a complete corpse of an etheric dragon.

'Choice' Ark of Life.

Like the 'Imprint', 'Self', 'Assimilation', and 'Existence' and many other arks.

They are all one of the countless galaxy miracles created by 'Venerable'.

As for 'His Holiness'...

There are many rumors about them.

During the course of his four lives, which totaled tens of millions of years, Nidean had heard countless rumors about the Venerable.

But very little factual and credible information about them is made public.

Even Nidian knew very little about His Holiness in detail.

The most informative and credible news is that their civilization has a very long history.

It's not that long - at least among all the known mainstream civilizations in the endless star sea, no civilization clearly knows the origin period of the Venerable.

...In other words, their origin is earlier than almost all existing civilizations.

As the oldest known civilization in existence.

The Venerable Civilization seems to have stopped its external expansion long ago.

Actually don't talk about expansion.

No civilization even knows where the galaxy of origin of the Venerable is.

All their territory is unknown, as if it has always been shrouded in fog.

When he rarely appears in front of others, he is also riding in the 'Black Temple' shrouded in countless mysteries.

Or, they are observing certain civilizations from the sidelines, and using unknown means and 'non-contact' methods, they can obtain their individuals and 'accommodate' them;

Or, they are spreading the 'fire' they call into the endless sea of ​​stars;

That is, those 'arks of life'.

The one Su Wen encountered was one of the arks, the 'Selection'.

All life arks are basically like the 'Selection', which is today's museum planet, with countless species reserves.

The Lord stores them and does not release them, but he retains their activity and prevents them from becoming complete specimens.

Every Life Ark is such a large specimen library.

They are released at specific locations and drift through the universe along some completely unknown mechanism.

Like oversized drift bottles.

Not that no one had ever tried to board the ark.

But the Ark seems to have some special protection measures that are difficult to find by other civilizations...

——Now Su Wen also knows why they are so difficult to find.

Because these things were originally drifting in the virtual world, this really made conventional search methods effective.

Someone once had the opportunity to directly ask His Holiness the question "Why do you do this?"

The latter's answer was a cold 'the time has not come yet'.

I don’t know that the time has not yet come for the ‘Ark’ to really be put to some use;

Or the time has not yet come for other civilizations to understand the meaning behind this.

...Anyway.

This behavior of placing the ark in a special location in the endless sea of ​​stars seems to be related to the 'balance' they call it.

But the specific meaning of 'balance' and the fundamental purpose behind it have never been known.

Tens of millions of years ago, while wandering in the void, Nidian was lucky enough to see the 'Black Temple' launch the 'Ark of Life'.

What it saw at that time happened to be the 'selection number'.

Through some kind of special induction between the ether dragons, Nedian noticed that a fellow member of his race was trapped in this artificial planet, and instinctively launched an attack.

The result can be imagined.

The Black Temple just threw out an unknown gravitational field weapon, and the ether dragon that could sweep across an entire advanced civilization was easily suppressed.

But unexpectedly.

The Venerable did not kill it, but instilled some knowledge into it through some unknown method.

And gave it a coordinate.

Tell it 'that's where you're meant to be'.

..

This unexpected contact when he was young left a deep impression on Nedian.

The ether dragon's wisdom is very high, but due to different life forms, it is still not enough to understand the Venerable's philosophy.

But the power brought by the strong one still made it subconsciously follow the other party's guidance.

When tens of millions of years have passed, its lifespan has come to an end and it is about to age and die.

When the Dragon Worship Cult came to its door, it subconsciously thought of the Ark of Choice.

According to Nedian's knowledge, this is probably the only remains of the same race that can still be found in the entire universe.

So after that secret conversation.

Nedian also told the Dragon Worship Cult about the location where it last sensed the existence of the "Selection" and the "Ark of Life".

And it was agreed:

If the latter can complete this task that it thinks is difficult for them to reach the sky, it is willing to continue to abide by the 'Honorable' agreement in the fifth life and stay in the galaxy of Gallin's origin for one million years to serve them. Our civilization will protect us for another million years.

As for the Dragon Worship Cult's failure to complete...

...That's their business too.

It was already dead at that time anyway, so it didn't matter.

The Star Beast's view of life is completely different from that of ordinary intelligent races.

It is said that if a person can live for tens of millions of years, his view of life will indeed be different from ordinary people.

Nedian himself...it should be said that this dragon doesn't really care about whether he can 'live out the fifth life'.

The Gaerlings are a race in the "Garden of Life" created by the "Venerable".

And it itself has received guidance and favor from His Holiness.

If the former really needs it and has the ability to help it achieve nirvana, there is nothing wrong with helping them once.

But if it can't, it doesn't really care about dying.

After all, the Star Beast is not a social creature, it does not even have many perceptual genes, and it has almost no worries in its life.

In addition, it has lived for tens of millions of years, and the so-called great horrors of life and death have long been ignored.

..

"so..."

"That's all part of their whole plan?"

Su Wen put down the folder with an expression on his face that said, "Your family is in such a mess."

"Coming to Blue Star with this person is just passing by.

As for being caught by us...it was really just because she was unlucky and happened to meet her. "

...What the hell is this!

Well, I have to say, this made Su Wen very speechless.

And this also made him a little embarrassed:

Theoretically speaking, Lilibai was indeed headed for the Ark of Life, the Selection, and lurking on the Blue Star was just passing by.

He traveled thousands of miles from the Tianyuan Star Territory to the Fire Reef Star Territory, and then got a small gunboat and secretly sailed into the solar system, just to wait on the Blue Star for the time when the 'Selection' Ark of Life had the strongest connection with the material universe. , trying to get into it.

As for why it took so long...

The real reason is much simpler than imagined:

She missed it the first time, only got the news and didn't have time to catch up.

So it took several more years to catch up with the second time.

And judging from the analysis of her identity and her actions in the past three years, it is true that she has not done anything like "secret sabotage".

...Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly untenable for Su Wen to label her a 'foreign force terrorist'.

According to Su Wen's principle, the misunderstanding has been clarified and the person can be released at this time.

If it doesn't work, you can also give her some travel expenses as compensation.

but...

From a national security perspective.

It’s not easy to let go at this time.

Just because she knows the specific situation in the solar system, Su Wen cannot let this person escape his control.

When it comes to the bottom line of safety, any funny reasons such as moral right or wrong, good or evil, must be put aside.

What's more, even if he is willing to let him go, this guy may not be willing to leave:

Her target is very clear, it is the ether dragon specimen in the Ark of Choice.

If you don't get this thing, even if you go back, the mission will be a complete failure.

But that thing...

That thing is now Imperial property.

Even if people from the scientific research department have completed sampling and started related research, the remaining parts have little value.

It is impossible for Su Wen to send it out for the reason of 'adding defense power to other civilizations'.

But if you do nothing...

It feels a bit off.

After all, there is something wrong with the planet of origin of the Gaerlings at first glance. Who knows what other secrets are hidden inside?

When it comes to super civilization, nothing can be underestimated.

Even if you don't look at the level of skill and just look at the level of technology, the civilization of the Venerable is obviously much higher than that of the fellow Fei people.

Su Wen already has personal experience of how valuable the legacy they left behind is.

If the Gaerlings' self-rescue operation is allowed to fail and no intervention is made...

...If they were destroyed by those covetous extraterrestrial civilizations, wouldn't the mother star containing the Venerable's legacy fall into the hands of other civilizations?

This is not a good thing!

Although there is no such thing as a dark forest in this universe, Su Wen is still very clear about the fact that "good things falling into one's hands are gains" and "good things falling into the hands of others are assets to the enemy".

He stared silently at the night sky outside the window, thinking in his heart.

"I have an idea,"

After a moment, he spoke,

"You can help with the Dragon Worship Cult's self-rescue plan.

We can also let go of the specimen of the Aether Dragon.

It can even allow the dragon after nirvana to return to the galaxy of Gallin's origin.

The premise is..."

There was a trace of coldness in his eyes,

"That dragon must be controlled by the empire."
