The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1773. Research on Geth (Part 1)

Chitinous carapace! Darth Malthael reached out and touched the material hidden in the rock formations. It didn't feel like metal or rock. On the contrary, it was a little warm. It really feels like an insect's carapace!

He immediately thought of an existence-Killik! That super insect civilization that once dominated the entire galaxy in the ancient period that was active between 35,000 years ago and more than 100,000 years ago!

If it is them, then this is not surprising.

Because the rise and decline of the Kilik people themselves have countless connections with Taiyi. For example, the giant space station Middle Point Center (Middle Point Center) at the Lagrange point between the planet Talus and the planet Traus is currently floating in the Corellia galaxy. It is the son and daughter of Taiyi. People, incarnate as 'star builders', guide them to build it.

After the midpoint station is activated, it can even emit extremely powerful gravitational waves and move any planet within the Milky Way. If the power is fully turned on, even a black hole can move!

Such a super weapon is also a manifestation of Tai Ren's power. Of course, it is also a reflection of the former glory of the Kilik people. The overlord of the galaxy should have such terrifying force!

Darth Malthael concentrated the force on his fingertips and tried it, and found that the chitin carapace had a strong defense against the force. Even if he used the force, it would be difficult to damage it.

You must know that although he only briefly buckled it a few times, with his force power, even the durasteel used by the Galactic Empire to build battleships would have to be dug out of a big hole by him.

But there is nothing in this place except the surrounding chitin.

All the way down, he felt like it was an ant nest, with winding passages everywhere, but most of the passages had collapsed and were inaccessible.

This collapse shocked even Darth Malthael, because the chitinous carapace, which was as hard as this, was melted and broken, mixed with countless rubbles, and became a ruin.

At least this kind of power cannot be achieved even by ordinary orbital bombing.

Continuing to explore, they found that the Geth were indeed studying this ruins, which were probably Kilik people. A lot of research equipment, terminals, drilling equipment, lighting equipment, etc. were set up here.

As expected, the Geth had the same idea as Darth Malthael now, and wanted to study this chitin carapace. If the research was successful, it would be a major breakthrough in materials science.

However, apart from geth's research equipment and some cut chitin carapace, nothing else was found here.

There are some stones or fossils that are difficult to distinguish because they are so old that no one knows what they are.

Only some egg fossils were found in one of the half-collapsed places. I don’t know if they are Kilik people’s eggs.

However, when Darth Malthael reached the deepest part, he finally found what he was looking for!

This place is a large hall, and the shape of the surrounding chitinous carapace is more ferocious. The carapace has sharp edges and corners, many sharp protrusions, and even many terrifying barbs. Moreover, these carapace look more concentrated and three-dimensional, as if there are really several huge beetles dozens of meters long lying on the wall!

And these carapaces that look like beetles all have their longest, most ferocious and sharpest parts pointed at the center of the hall, forming a circular area.

This place is also where the geth have the most research instruments.

Most of the surrounding instruments were also destroyed. Apparently the previous super banshee, Darth Malthael, gave Cricket this name in his current state, even though this guy was a man. The Super Banshee also came here and destroyed all the geth.

This is probably where the geth discovered the black kyber crystal.

Darth Malthael looked around again and determined that he could no longer obtain any more information, so he found a geth terminal that seemed relatively complete and opened it. Then, he took out a special communicator and linked the communicator to the terminal.

After a moment, the holographic projection of the communicator projected a Geth avatar composed of countless small pictures.

[You have arrived at our testing site, ally. 】 Gesi said.

"What on earth are you doing? What did you find here?" Darth Malthael asked with a frown.

[A mere fragment is the key to revealing the nature of this universe. 】Geth replied.

"Is that the crystal?"

[A corpse that has lasted tens of thousands of years but still has not decayed, and the crystal we found on the corpse. ] Geth said, [After research, we found that the reason why the corpse did not decay is precisely because this crystal is continuously supplying energy. This is contrary to common sense, because with the size of this crystal, it should not have such powerful and lasting energy. 】

"Where's the body?" Darth Malthael asked.

[After we took off the crystal, it immediately turned into dust. This is also very strange, because even if these insectoid races have been dead for tens of thousands of years, their shells will not change. Being able to instantly decompose the shell into dust, the power of this crystal really interests us. 】 Gesi said.

"So you used this crystal to create a banshee corpse puppet?" Darth Malthael frowned.

[This is the original use of this crystal. ] Geth said, [According to our research, the corpse inlaid with black crystal is a container made to carry this crystal. It can be said to be a kind of super warrior. We followed this method, but the body of ordinary organisms could not bear it. The moment it was embedded, the body turned into ashes. We can only find a strong Force-sensitive person to carry it. 】

"So you contacted Darth Lilim to help!?" Darth Malthael looked a little angry, "Where is she? Why doesn't she answer my communication!?"

[Our ally Darth-Lilim helped us set the trap. She deceived the Force-sensitive man named Krickit from his precognition, and then designed a trap to capture him. ] Geth said, [When Cricket lost control, she was injured, but escaped quickly. 】

"Why did Cricket lose control?" Darth Malthael suppressed the anger in his heart and asked again.

[We have adopted various control methods such as mechanical control, program control, and genetic control, and also used corpse puppet manufacturing technology. But when the crystal was embedded, Cricket immediately lost control, all control methods failed at the same time, and it began to attack us. The test failed. 】Geth replied.

"Enough! Stop this test! Give me the test data." Darth Malthael said with a gloomy face. (End of chapter)
