Start with Mechanical Hunter

At present, the most powerful method for high-tech engineers is not cosmic treasures, nor is it the transformation of flesh and machine into one, but memory worms.

This kind of fifth-level information life can cause such a big mess in the cyber testing ground. If it is placed on a second-level civilization, it is basically killing indiscriminately. No matter how awesome the second-level civilization is, it is impossible to stop the memory worm. of swallowing.

Even if it is a third-level civilization, the kind of quasi-ascension civilization that can reach the pace of an entire galaxy, the probability of blocking it is not high.

As the largest memory worm host, Gaogong can now perform most of the memory worm's methods, including living and dead people, flesh and bones. Under the evolution of high-level information, these are just routine operations.

Soon, a thick pale cocoon wrapped around the big cockroach. It could be vaguely seen that the 'eggs' in the cockroach's body were constantly undergoing mitosis, and the shriveled body was also rapidly bulging, and the four leg sickles emerged from it. The ribs were squeezed out, and on the back of the cockroach, there were a large number of complex and profound alien words, making the originally ferocious and disgusting appearance suddenly become gentle and elegant.

Countless intelligent races in the universe have different aesthetics of appearance, but generally speaking, the more intelligent the species, no matter how cold their appearance, they have a very good temperament.

As countless silk threads were inserted into the big cockroach's body, a pair of dark eyes of the big cockroach slowly lit up. For a moment, Gao Gong felt that the whole room was lit up.

‘This guy’s will is a bit high. ’ The senior engineer raised his eyebrows.

When thinking about the day, generally speaking, the willpower that can reach this level must be at least a thousand points.

Life forms with this kind of will are basically third level, except Gao Mou himself.

Soon, the big cockroach's oral organs vibrated slightly, emitting a complex frequency fluctuation.

What did this cockroach guy say?

Before going to the cosmic black market, the senior engineer didn't have a chance to buy a general-purpose translator.

Gao Gong frowned, and his figure appeared in front of him as if traveling through space. The big cockroach was startled, and as soon as he had an idea, a white light lit up in front of him.

However, Gao Gong's palm seemed to travel through space, ignoring its mental barrier and piercing into its body.

An indescribable complex change came from Gao Gong's body.

When the big cockroach looked at each other again, he actually felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, as if he was seeing a member of his tribe.

A-level alien blood system alien: 'remove' one human body system and 'replace' another biological system at the cost of energy.

Note: As an interstellar traveler, explorer, civilization researcher, or just a simple passerby, you will definitely feel a headache because of the vast sea of ​​taboos and rules among civilized races. Temporary 'system replacement' can Allowing you to integrate into civilized society faster, there are some interesting abilities of civilized races that will even benefit you throughout your life.

Note 2: Taboo 1: Only the same level can be replaced, and high-level alien systems cannot be 'replaced'. This has a high probability of causing the human system to collapse; Taboo 2: Ascension to civilization, replacement is prohibited, strictly prohibited! Strictly prohibited!

In principle, the bloodline of a second-level life cannot be exchanged for the life system of a third-level species.

But Gao Gong’s ‘Life Fetus Sea’ bloodline is an exaggerated fourth level.

The senior engineer replaced the opponent's 'perception system'.

The big cockroach also knew the other party's purpose, and its oral organs trembled again, but this time, Gao Gong understood the other party's words.

"Dear Starship Captain, please allow Emvir to express the highest respect for you."

"Emvir, is this your name?" The senior engineer also began to send out the same sound wave, but his mouth did not turn into a cockroach's mouthparts, but there was a gray mark on his lower jaw and cheek. The other person's skin color is very similar.

"Yes, I am an archaeologist from the Galileo Galaxy, Super Memory Civilization, and Ancient Civilization Research Department. I am also the official junior civilization observer of the Civilization Parliament."

Gao Gong's eyes once again flashed with surprise. He thought he was just an ordinary tomb robber, but he didn't expect him to be a treasure.

Super Memory Civilization, senior engineers know this civilization. It is a neutral civilization that advocates knowledge and science. This civilization is good at producing scientists, scholars, and experts in various fields.

The characteristic of this civilization is 'super memory'. Members of this civilization naturally possess 'eternal memory', that is to say, the knowledge, experiences and experiences they have mastered will never be forgotten. This is why this civilization is good at production. expert.

Moreover, the upgrading of members of this civilization is also very interesting. The more ‘memories’ there are, the faster the growth and evolution will be.

Therefore, in addition to scientists, archaeologists are also a popular industry in this civilization. Nothing can bring more knowledge than the excavation of a civilization.

But what the senior engineer valued most was his identity as a 'junior civilization observer'.

Anyone who is named in the 'Civilization Parliament' will enjoy unimaginable super treatment within each civilization, especially the lower-level civilizations.

Because ‘Civilization Observers’ have the right to advise whether a civilization can join the Civilization Parliament.

The senior engineer chatted with the other party for a while. Although this 'big cockroach' looked a bit ferocious, he was a very honest scholar. He told the senior engineer what he wanted to know without using any clichés, and followed the other party's instructions. According to the theory, after their archaeological group was attacked by star thieves, it had been forced to sleep for more than 40,000 years.

"... Just like that, the traitor in our team, an interstellar tomb robber, betrayed our coordinates for profit. The interstellar robber attacked and all our teammates were scattered. I was also seriously injured and had to Falling into a deep sleep, may I ask, has a third-level civilization developed in Robert's galaxy now?" Emvir said nervously.

Only level three civilizations can touch the intergalactic navigation technology, that is, the edge of the 'star gate', and can it find a way to return home.

The senior engineer shook his head and said:

"As far as I know, no."

Emvir suddenly showed a disappointed expression.

"But you can wait for a while. If nothing else happens, a new third-level civilization will be born in this galaxy soon."

Seeing the puzzled look on the big bug's face, the senior engineer smiled, changed the subject without explaining, and said, "Can you tell me what your archaeological team is investigating?"

Emvir hesitated for a moment, but still said honestly: "According to the information from my employer, there is a possibility of producing 'cosmic treasures' on the civilized battlefield here."

The senior engineer said ‘huh’.

This is why there are so many interstellar chaebols willing to fund archaeological teams.

Naturally, people do not generate electricity with love. In fact, interstellar archeology is a lottery-like behavior. Interstellar chaebols will invest thousands or even tens of thousands of archaeological teams to go to the ruins of different civilizations to conduct civilization archeology.

Civilized archeology is just a high-sounding term. The real purpose is to excavate ‘cosmic relics’.

There is a possibility that cosmic relics may exist in the ruins of many ancient civilizations.

"But after your investigation, there is no answer," Gao Gong said with a smile. If so, the other party would not say it so easily.

"Yes, this is just an ordinary ancient battlefield.

"Where did the news about the cosmic relics come from?"

"I don't know," Big Chongzi pondered for a moment and said, "But I heard that some employers have mastered the means of detecting cosmic relics, but the success rate is not high."

"There is a cyber testing ground here, did you know?" Gao Gong suddenly said.

"I know, so before we came, we suspected that the smell of this relic came from the cyber testing site with a certain probability. However, due to the 'principle of civilized neutrality', we will not participate in any civilized war." Conflicts and battles among others, and the asteroid belt is beyond the control of the Cyber ​​Test Site.”

The big bug Emvir spoke in a very cautious tone, and at first glance he looked like a seasoned veteran of the interstellar world.

"Then what are your plans now? The galaxy where your civilization is located should not be the Robert Galaxy, right?"

The senior engineer did not ask for the other party's civilization coordinates. In interstellar communication, this is a taboo among taboos, probably equivalent to asking for your bank card password.

So Gao Gong simply said this.

But if a senior engineer wants to know, he can actually find out by using the memory worm.

Emvir pondered for a while and said: "If the distinguished captain doesn't mind, I want to stay on your ship for a while. According to the principle of fair trade among interstellar travelers, I am willing to pay items of equal value for the ship's fare." .”

The senior engineer nodded and said 'yes'.

"But I am penniless now, and the only thing I trade is knowledge," the big bug Emvir said with some embarrassment, because he knew that some captains of interstellar travel ships were rude and irritable, and they scorned 'knowledge'. .

"Knowledge is priceless," the senior engineer said calmly.

Emvir glanced at the other party with some anxiety. The civilized characters on his back lit up one after another, and then projected folders one after another. Looking at them, they were densely packed. These are the life of this 'mental body'. In its long life, What it collects in its lifespan is not much, but a lot of 'knowledge'. This knowledge may be the location of an interstellar energy mine, it may be a migrable planet that no one has discovered, or it may be the information of an advanced life. The communication channels are messy and have everything.

Only then did the senior engineer realize that this old boy was not a true and honest scholar. He had many smuggling channels under his control.

That's right. If you are really honest, you won't engage in interstellar archaeology.

The biggest difference between interstellar archeology and interstellar tomb robbing is that the former has an official status, while the latter does not.

And contrary to Emvir's expectation, the senior engineer did not choose the 'knowledge' that seemed to have the highest value, but a 'knowledge' that Emvir himself did not think was of any use.

Real knowledge.

Third level professional knowledge - interstellar air station manufacturing technology.
