The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In the safety committee established by the Higher Civilization of the Universe, a large number of interstellar voyage danger zones are recorded, and once there are bored goodies who have made a ranking of these danger zones.

In all rankings, the vast majority of so-called forbidden areas have always been controversial, and with the development of science and the deepening of exploration, some dangerous areas have become safe and the rankings will continue to change.

And among all the dangerous zones, there is only one dangerous zone ranking that has never been moved. This dangerous place is the Devil Nebula.

The Devil Nebula is the name given to it by the Earth Federation, and the cosmic civilization that first discovered it has more than 4,700 different pronunciations and more than 10,000 words. The civilization is said to be All the words related to danger in his own civilized language are stuffed into this name, so this name will look so bloated.

The higher civilizations of the universe have sent exploration ships into the Devil Nebula for exploration, and even some psionicists who have evolved into omega-class advanced creatures have entered the Devil Nebula because of curiosity, but in the end, no one can get out of the Devil Nebula. Leave alive.

When the Earth Federation first set foot in the interstellar, it also had the courage of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. It dispatched an exploration spacecraft equipped with the highest technology, carrying two ninth-level psionicists, and entered the devil nebula. Like the exploration fleet sent by civilization, they never return.

However, during Leo's time as a special operations commander, a fleet of advanced civilizations dispatched to explore subspace unintentionally found some wreckage of spacecraft drifting in subspace.

The fleet collected the debris fragments found in subspace, and then carefully compared the numbers and materials on the debris. It was surprisingly found that these debris originated from a higher civilization that entered the Devil Nebula more than 17,000 years ago. Explore the fleet.

This discovery was a sensation in the entire universe, and various advanced civilizations also sent the best fleets and powerful psionicists into the subspace search to see if there were other wreckages.

Although this method of finding a needle in a haystack has rendered most civilized exploration ships unsuccessful, there will always be one or two lucky people who have discovered new clues to the wreckage, and even one of the wreckages has not been destroyed. Voyage recorder.

After restoring the data on the voyage recorder, it was found that the fleet where the voyage recorder was just entered the Devil Nebula, and when the material collection work was carried out on the meteorites in the edge of the nebula, a sudden subspace storm appeared directly in cosmic space. Inside, the entire fleet was swept into subspace along with the surrounding meteorite group and a nearby planet.

In the face of the power of the storm, the armor strength of the exploration fleet could not withstand such a strong subspace storm, and it was instantly torn into pieces, as fragile as paper.

Although the voyage recorder is not a kind of data analysis device, the collected cosmic energy data, the readings of the surrounding cosmic rays and other subtle data are very few, but such a small amount of data is enough for some advanced cosmic civilization to analyze some situations of the demon galaxy Too.

According to the published information, the Devil Nebula is a subspace energy node. From time to time, the energy storm of the subspace will enter the universe through this node to form a turbulent space, and the location of its outlet is random, so there is no Way to predict in advance.

All spaceships going to the Devil Nebula for exploration should have encountered a subspace storm, which was sucked into the subspace and destroyed completely, and all the exploration spacecraft that entered the Devil Nebula have encountered misfortune, which means that the subspace storms in the Devil Nebula have appeared very frequently. , And the range is very wide, almost covering the entire nebula.

It is precisely because of this analysis that the danger level of the Devil Nebula has skyrocketed, far surpassing the levels of other dangerous forbidden places in the universe and becoming the most dangerous zone in the universe.

It is also because of the mystery and danger of the Devil Nebula that all items related to the Devil Nebula are the most popular collections in the universe, and are the key collections of the exploration institutions of various civilizations, and the wreckage of the spacecraft that has been destroyed by the Devil Nebula is also a civilization The end of the collection.

Leo has performed the task of transporting such items more than once, so he also carefully studied some information about the Devil Nebula when performing the task, which is why he can recognize the Devil Nebula at a glance.

Now, he actually saw the record of the spacecraft sailing in the Devil Nebula on the Veja's voyage recorder. This fact is surprising.

Although the Weiya people are known for their adventure and exploration in the universe, they are also known for their caution. When an unknown location is discovered, as long as the safety index is not determined, the Weiya people will never send a fleet to explore the unknown location.

Therefore, when the Devil Nebula was first discovered, the Weiya people were also one of the discoverer civilizations, but he was also the only civilization that did not send an expedition spaceship. It stands to reason that the Weiya people cannot enter the Devil Nebula.

Moreover, the surroundings of the Devil Nebula have been closely monitored by the monitoring bases of various cosmic civilizations. Anyone who enters will be discovered. Therefore, if the Weiya enter the Devil Nebula, this news will definitely spread in the universe.

"Analyze and reorganize the route map." Leo suspected, and then ordered the main control chip of the recorder.

Soon the illusion in front of Leo's eyes began to change, and a clear map of the spacecraft's navigation route appeared in front of his eyes, allowing him to carefully analyze the complete navigation route of the spacecraft where the recorder is located to see if he could find anything in it.

After seeing the navigation route map, Leo quickly confirmed several things. One thing is that the Vejas really went towards the Devil Nebula, because the spacecraft's road map shows that the spacecraft planned to explore the Devil Nebula from the beginning.

Because there are a large number of commercial planets in the planets that can be reached on the route of this ship, according to the personality of the Weiya people, as long as there is no mission, they will go to those few planets to replenish the goods, and the Weiya fleet passes When they were on the planet, they did not stop, and they directly crossed the galaxy barrier and went to the Devil Nebula.

The other is the recorder in the hands of Leo, which is marked with a number. This number is a special number of the subspace recorder, which means that this recorder will record subspace navigation data.

The Weiya people are very frugal. Unless we are sure that our ship will sail for a long time in subspace, we will never install a voyage recorder with additional functions. This also proves from the side that the Weiya people are ready to enter the Devil Nebula, and Also prepare for the subspace storm that will be encountered.

Leo played with the recorder in his hand and guessed to himself: "Did the Veja encounter a subspace storm, and the wreckage of the spacecraft was involved in the subspace, and finally got out of the subspace for some unknown reason. , Dropped here."

But soon he rejected this guess, because he did not see any trace of external force damage from the recorder in his hand. Although the recorder was missing a part, it was dismantled according to normal procedures, not by external force. Caused.

With doubts in his heart, Leo checked the recorder in his hand again, and soon he made a new discovery. There was an outdated monitoring module inside the recorder.

The main function of this module is to record the identity of the person using the recorder. Because the recorder itself has been disassembled, the monitoring module has become useless, but if there is no accident, the monitoring module should also record some useful content, such as the person who first opened the voyage recorder, The person who removed the voyage recorder and so on.

This module is the standard device of the early voyage recorder, but as this module was found to crack the irreparable loopholes, this module is no longer installed on the voyage recorder, follow this module thoroughly At the time of withdrawal, the spacecraft where the voyage recorder is located should be a spacecraft manufactured before the Supreme Council calendar of 37,964,454, which is 73 years ago.

Because when Leo was created, there were still many old spaceships sailing in the universe, so his skill training chip also recorded the method of cracking this monitoring module, which is just now in use.

Although there is no suitable tool on hand, the cracking method of this module has long been eaten by people, and there are also methods used by psionicists. Leo has almost no effort and is impacted by a small amount of psionic energy. The control lock of the monitoring module is destroyed, and then a command is directly sent to the recorder to call up the monitoring data.

Just as most of the data of the recorder is scattered, the data in the monitoring module is also incomplete. This is not because someone deliberately deleted the data, but because some strong energy interference destroyed the data link. Caused data loss.

Finally, the monitoring module sorted out the complete pictures of the three recorder openers. The first two Leo did not know, but from their appearance and clothing, they should be people in the spacecraft manufacturing plant. I think they are testing the recorder. It was photographed by the monitoring module.

The third picture is Leo's most concerned object, because he knows the person in the third recorded picture, and almost all the books that record the history of the exploration of the universe will have this person.

This man is a Veja, and humans on Earth cannot read his name in Veja language, so he can only post the name of a famous New World discoverer on the earth and call him Columbus.

Columbus is the rare governor of the Veya who is not a commercial-based stray fleet. The fleet he leads is mainly to explore the universe. In these three thousand years, a total of 97 new galaxies have been discovered, of which 60 are The three were discovered by Columbus, so his figure also appeared in all exploration books published by the universe for nearly two thousand years, becoming one of the most famous people in the universe.

Before Leo was made, the Columbus of the Weiya had led his fleet to disappear. At that time, the Supreme Council of the universe was alarmed, and a large number of people were sent into the main fleet of the Weiya to assist in the investigation, but there was no gain in the end. .

Judging from the materials published later, the Veja people do not seem to want to investigate the disappearance of this Veja hero. Even if the Supreme Council intervenes, they will set up various obstacles to affect the investigators sent by the Supreme Council, which is why the investigation results Unsatisfactory.

Therefore, for a long time, the Columbus, the Veja people, were killed in the universe by their own people. As for **** them, where is the body? It is a mystery.

Now, the mystery that puzzles the civilizations of the universe has been solved by Leo. The Columbus of the Weiya did not die, but came to the Velon world. As for the way to the Velon world, it is likely to pass through the Devil Nebula.

The reason why Leo is so sure is that the Columbus of the Weiya is in the Velon world, because in this image of the surveillance module reorganization, the plants behind Columbus are also photographed in the image, and that kind of plant is a unique kind of Velon world. Ferns, which only grow in the wetlands of the Mosang mainland wasteland, and this plant is also an extremely important medicinal material, which is recorded in the medical classics of the medical school.

This image also proves that the Columbus of the Weiya came to the world of Velon, and from the follow-up situation, he does not seem to leave this world, and he is likely to be alive, because he himself has evolved to the Omega level. The psionicist, in terms of longevity, can survive for tens of millions of years as long as he does not seek death on his own.

Leo carefully recalled the time when the Columbus of the Weiya disappeared, and compared the time period in which the Velon world changed. Although the time is not correct, the difference is not very large. It is only more than a hundred years. It may be related to the Columbus of the Weiya that the Velon world began to transform from psionic civilization to steam civilization.

In addition, from the process of investigating the disappearance of Columbus by the Supreme Council of the Universe, the Weiya people may know where Columbus is, and may even know the existence of the Velon world, and the Weiya people also tried to change the civilization of the Velon world by means of guiding civilization. development of.

"Why? Why do Veyas do this?" Leo murmured in doubt~www.readwn.com~ and then asked himself: "Is it related to the light of origin."

It can make the Weiya people do such seemingly thankless things, and even take the risk of sending their heroes into a dangerous forbidden place like the Devil Nebula. Only the light of origin, the only Weiya belief, can make them look so fanatical.

"What's the benefit of doing this?" Leo questioned.

It is no exaggeration to say that before the emergence of steam machinery in the Velon world, the entire civilization was an outright psionic civilization. Not only there were a large number of ordinary psionicists such as family clan and night watchman, but also the possibility that the tower tower wizard could evolve to a very high level. High-level psionicists, and even various gods that have reached Omega-level higher creatures.

According to the orthodox statistics of the Orthodox Church, the Velon world has reached hundreds of gods at the most, and all have their own churches. These do not include those unrecognized evil gods, and now the Velon world can really manifest itself in front of believers. There are less than five holy spirits, and the tower that masters another psionic evolution route has disappeared. The remaining other psionicists are hiding like mice in a corner of the city. It can be said that the steam civilization has been completely destroyed. The spiritual civilization in the world of Velen.
