Chapter 237 – Looking to the Stars, Expedition to the Universe

“Your loyal servant has evolved.

[Irene evolves into Super Irene]

You’re surprised, you’re confused, just because Ailee’s too powerful.

In addition to the increase in arithmetic power in the conventional sense, Ai Lei has also awakened a strange ability to see more, as if she were an observer of the vast universe.

[It seems to be a qualitative change in the level of life, a miracle like you’ve never seen before]

“Through the eyes of the machine’s servants, you have managed to glimpse the reality of the universe, the cold graveyard of civilization and the silence of despair.

[What does that sight mean?

[And what is the reason for its appearance?]

[You don’t understand, thinking over and over to try to understand]

Boundless stars.

The dark curtain is inlaid with dazzling stars, either as dense as a weave or as sparse as nothing, trillions of stars orbiting in their own orbits, clustered into a corner of the universe.

The river of stars flows and sparkles.

In its insignificant “splash”.

Clusters of starships sailed slowly past, traveling between planets and stars.

Viewed from a human perspective, it looks like a magnificent Leviathan, swooping down into the darkest depths of the sea of stars, its metallic hull shining brightly in the light of the stars, sacred and iron blood.

But what is true is that the so-called steel fleet is tiny as gravel in front of the stars.

Not to mention the much larger volume of the sea of stars, and even the universe.

Squeak–

Squeak–

The slow, expanding metallic squelch echoed through the room of the Xu system.

Its sound, derived from mechanical artifacts of the Old Federal period, was placed on top of cabinets by the Hsu system because of its beautiful and interesting appearance.

The pointer dances to a new scale.

The complex gears inside, too, began to rotate at a rapid pace, one revolution after another.

The tightly clenched teeth rubbed and collided with each other, the sound was subtle but clearly audible, the clicks were as dense as rain.

After the evolution ended, Ailee couldn’t accept that she had been off for so long, so she was busy managing the starship and taking care of the living area herself.

The Xu system then sat alone in the silent bedroom.

His face was serious, thinking over and over again about that earlier horrifying sight.

“Damaged Starships, Broken Celestial Bodies, and …… Silent Civilizations.”

“What do these sightings really mean?”

“Is it a natural disaster of the universe, or is it the malice of an outside force?”

“Whatever the truth is, there is a need to go and explore it.”

The sound echoed through the chamber.

Xu System’s fingertips, gently brushing over the rough cover of the notes, lifted the pages of this paper, and lifted his pen to write two vocabulary words on it.

[Civilization] and [Truth].

It’s a habit of the Hsu system.

He prefers writing by hand to electronic entry, and the subtle friction sound of the pen tip against the paper is effective in stimulating his thoughts.

“Whoever is behind it, those remnants of civilization are real.”

“Or developed, or backward.”

“The field of technology is boundless and extensive, even with Ailee’s help, I still lack much knowledge, and by using the Mechanical Resonance, I can make up for it from the wreckage of other civilizations.”

“Incidentally, it is possible to explore the truth about the demise of civilization.”

“This time the enemy ……”

The tip of the pen paused slightly.

The rustling stopped.

The Xu system’s expression became grave.

From the information available, it appears that the mastermind behind the creation of the Star Graveyard is the same being that destroyed the Old Federation.

Suspected of having the ability to make the Smartarms rebel, with the ability to strike across galaxies at ultra-long ranges.

It’s hard to fathom, impossible to predict.

The true identity of such an enemy was not to be mentioned for the moment, but just the corner of the robe that was revealed was enough to make people feel horrified.

“Fortunately, I don’t have to go head-to-head with the man behind the curtain.”

“The existence of ten deaths before the end also gives me a certain bottom line.”

“Then the next mission is clear, head straight for that star sea ruin, collect the technological heritage of the extinct civilization, and explore the clues of the mastermind behind it.”

“The direction of this simulation is becoming more and more difficult to see, with the demise of civilization, the intellectual rebellion, and a mastermind far across the stars.”

“Tsk.”

“Sometimes it’s tempting to take the foes from a couple of simulations and put them in a cage together to see which side is actually better.”

The nib of the pen touches the paper and quickly writes down the key elements.

Looking at the rather heavily documented paper.

The Xu system lamented out loud.

Although every simulation will not affect the lives in the real world, the hardships of challenging strong enemies during the simulation are real.

This sci-fi side simulation is slowly revealing the hideousness beneath the surface.

It poses a huge challenge.

“It feels a bit difficult to do ……,” Xu Xiang muttered, and just then, the door to the room was gently pushed open.

“Master, the mushroom soup is here.”

The domestic attributes that had been suppressed for half a year ushered in an outburst today, as Ai Lei quickly made a steaming pot of mushroom soup and served it into Xu System’s room.

Thinking about relaxing the tired brain of the Xu system.

“Ah, thanks.”

Xu System took the soup bowl, and before drinking it, he subconsciously glanced at it.

The only thing that could be seen was the bubbling, glistening hot soup, with golden crumbs floating on the surface, not gold dust, but an unknown flower petal.

Twinkle, twinkle.

Bright in gold.

Mixed with the simmering mushrooms and shaken together in the broth.

Rise up with the scent of elegant flowers.

“Ailee, what did you add to the soup?” , the Xu system asked curiously.

“It’s the Red Sun Flower, I added the Red Sun Flower to it,” the Machine Servant explained, “The fragments of this flower are good for the master’s health.”

What exactly are the benefits?

The Hsu system didn’t ask.

He felt that a loyal machine servant would not harm him.

Thus, System Xu drank the hot soup in large gulps, feeling a warm sensation in all of his limbs and bones after the hot soup entered his stomach.

“Very nice, Ailee,” the Xu system complimented with a smile.

“Thank you for the compliment”, Ailee said with a graceful gesture, collecting the empty bowl from the Xu system.

In the dead center of the Xu system’s unseen line of sight.

Ailee stepped out of the room and silently pulled out the Thirty-Six Tips for Having Love and checked the box for strong kidneys.

The battle was a success, true to the book, and the master was pleased with the flavor of the new soup, but why did the last battle fail?

The machine servant did not understand.

The index finger rested against his chin and he cocked his head dully.

As a mindless mechanic, she had a lot to learn.

People are complicated.

……

[After the special perspective shared by Airey, you finally have a clear goal of action, and a plan for more follow-through]

You have not changed the fleet’s course.

[In the special view, you see the end of civilization, not in a single direction, but in 360 degrees.]

[The mysterious enemy, the hidden one who doesn’t know its true nature, has the ability to strike at a trans-galactic level, so no civilization has been able to leave this starry space]

[You calculate whether your ten deaths will carry the blow of that mysterious being]

“The answer is certain death.

[Fortunately, the other side does not have the ability to monitor in real time, otherwise the hanging sword would have already fallen]

[You’re quietly speeding up your voyage, wanting to take in the legacy of other civilizations as quickly as possible.]
