BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52 - 52: The Stargate Opens
What was behind the Distant Stargate?
This was undoubtedly the most curious point.
“At present, it seems that a second Distant Stargate has not been found in the Milky Way, but the gate builder should not have only built one.”
Li Wenyuan believed that there should be many more Distant Stargates like this one that had not yet been opened in the Milky Way. They were like treasures waiting to be discovered by others.
But whether or not there was a treasure behind it, he still needed to wait for the door to open to know.
In the Milky Way society, the mission previously issued by the Administrator had been removed. It was obvious that some civilizations had already completed this mission.
Although the adventurers from other civilizations were unwilling, they could only give up for the time being and wait for the new mission to appear.
While some of the civilizations were trying to find out which civilization had completed the Administrator’s mission, they were also trying to find the special stargate that the Administrator was searching for.
After all, stargates were different from strange creatures. They were useful for most civilizations.
Even if it wasn’t to complete the mission, it could still produce great benefits as a fast passage.
Therefore, in the subsequent search process, some civilizations did find other special stargates through the clues provided by the adventurers who had given up on the search.
Within the borders of the Mingbow Science and Technology Nation, some scholars were debating whether to find a way to destroy such stargates.
As a typical representative of the academic autocracy, the top scientists of the Mingbow Science and Technology Nation had a supreme status.
Something that could cause them to argue was obviously not a small matter.
One of the scholars said bitterly, “It wasn’t easy for us to find an ownerless stargate, how can we give up such a good thing just because of a few words? What did the crisis assessment report say?”
“It’s not out yet, but I believe that the threat rate will definitely exceed 50%. Our archaeological findings have proven that those rumors are not groundless. We have to destroy the stargate before it is opened!”
The other person disagreed and insisted on destroying this’ special stargate’.
As a top archaeologist, his team had found a prophecy on a planet that might be related to those special stargates.
It was a planet that once had a civilization, and it existed for an extremely long time.
Judging from the traces left behind, that civilization had more advanced technology than the indigenous people before they even entered space.
Their species had a special ability to empathize, and they could form a strong cohesion of civilization under conscious guidance.
If it had continued to this day, it would probably be on par with the lost empire.
However, in the subsequent archaeological process, MingboWs archeologists discovered that this civilization had been destroyed by some kind of prophecy.
The doomsday theorists of civilization believed that one day, a huge gray storm would sweep across the entire universe and destroy everything in its path.
Then, this civilization’s empathy ability had a destructive effect.
There was no telling who started it first, but some individuals began to fanatically worship the apocalypse, and gradually spread to all individuals like a plague.
The entire civilization soon fell into a fanatical belief in an apocalypse that had never arrived, causing the self-destruction of all individuals in a few short months.
Just like that, one of the most ancient species disappeared from a prophecy.
Of course, such a specious archaeological discovery could not attract the attention of the leader of Mingbow archeologists.
Most importantly, they really found the gray storm on a planet near a special stargate.
It was a group of nanobots. Even though they had crashed for some unknown reason, the terrifying mass of nanobots had still destroyed half of the planet.
According to the simulation of the restored image, the group of nanobots formed a storm in the process of constantly devouring and self-replicating, leaving not a single blade of grass alive wherever they passed.
Therefore, the special stargate that was likely to be related to this nanorobotic storm attracted attention.
Now, MingboWs scholars were divided into two factions on whether to keep this stargate.
One faction believed that a stargate that was likely to form a network was a resource that could only be encountered but not sought. It would play a great role in trade and scientific research, and it could not be given up just because of some stories in the dust.
The other faction insisted that the special stargate was backed by those terrifying nanobots. With the stargate being opened sooner or later, they had to destroy it to stop the nanobot threat.
They were still waiting for a result. If the crisis assessment agency reported more than 50% of the threat level, they would choose to destroy the stargate according to the principle of the majority.
Not long after, a threat report with news of a dictator was made known to these scholars.
“The threat level is indeed more than 50%… However, the Chief Scientist told us not to worry about this. He believes that risk and opportunity coexist, and the stargate that the Administrator is looking for must have something extraordinary…”
The scholars who heard the news looked at each other and had to stop their arguments based on the results.
At this moment, Li Wenyuan, who was controlling a Distant Stargate, had reached the last step of the decryption process.
To his surprise, the end of the decryption program was not a difficult and complicated situation, but a question from the gate builder.
[ We are the Desanur Union. We are very happy that a civilization in this galaxy has found this place and progressed to this step. ]
[ I don’t know how many traces of us are left in the outside world, but since you have chosen this door, it means that you are also very interested in the secret behind it. ]
[ We need to say this first. Behind it may be a gift, or it may be some bad threat. ]
[ Are you sure you have the ability to come into contact with this secret now? ]
[ Yes or no ]
The decryption process stopped at this point, obviously to make the choice of whether to open this Distant Stargate or not.
It was difficult to understand the mentality of the gate builders when they built the stargate. They seemed to want a civilization to open the stargate, but to a large extent, they did not want the stargate to be opened.
This contradictory mentality also made Li Wenyuan think.
He was comparing whether his current strength was enough to open the Distant Stargate. The gate builder research that he had spent a long time on couldn’t be wasted.
“Although my fleet is small in number, its quality is quite high. Ordinary civilizations are no match for it. The giant dock is also close to completion, and my production capacity will reach a new level. 1 still have a trump card, the Tiangang Battleship, that 1 can use. No matter how I think about it, I should be able to see the world behind the door with my own eyes.”
After making up his mind, Li Wenyuan chose ‘Yes’, which caused the Distant Stargate to fall into a brief silence.
The floating star gate slowly opened, and its huge body was rejuvenated after a long time.
No sound could be heard in the vacuum, but looking at the dark green light gradually gathering in the center of the stargate, Li Wenyuan felt like he could hear the roar of a megastructure being activated.
The structure of the stargate expanded to its maximum, and a huge amount of energy was also instilled into the core position in this process.
As the dark green light suddenly dissipated, a small black hole formed in the stargate.
Compared to the real black hole behind it, this black hole seemed very small, but Li Wenyuan knew that the secret behind it was about to be revealed..
