BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55 - 55: The Lost Nano Empire
“Let’s start!”
Gray Wind seemed to be a little impatient, as if she couldn’t resist the idea of going to the outside world to find out what was going on.
However, Li Wenyuan temporarily appeased Gray Wind because he wanted to know how far Gray Wind could go as a compound nanobot.
Could the Gray Storm that destroyed the door creators once again be achieved?
After some consideration, he explained, “There’s no need to be so anxious. You’re the crystallization of your nanobots, right? To what extent can you use the nanobots now?
I’d like to experience it so that 1 can determine which places are suitable for you.”
“Do you still need to do this? But no problem!” Gray Wind didn’t object, and in a very human-like manner, she snapped her fingers.
The nanobots that had fallen into a state of deathly stillness seemed to have been given life again as they began to float up in large numbers.
They surged like a tide, layer by layer, and the nanorobotic storm they stirred up became more and more solid.
Even the nano-level dust formed a Gray curtain that covered the sky and the sun with the help of the number, lingering on the surface of the planet.
Just as Li Wenyuan thought that the activated nanobots would gather toward the Gray Wind, he found that they stayed where they were and began to combine and disintegrate.
In just a few minutes, a skyscraper had risen from the ground, and many human figures could be seen flashing in it.
It was not over yet. The nanorobotic storm in other areas was also beginning to transform into buildings according to the instructions, and humans made of nanobots also appeared in various places.
Li Wenyuan finally understood what Gray Wind was trying to do. She was probably repeating what they had done before.
Just like how she imitated their creator, the Desanur Union, she was now imitating humans.
Judging from her proficiency, she had probably done it more than once or twice. Perhaps during the closing of the distant star cluster, she had already imitated the primitive society of mankind to the Interstellar society.
It didn’t take long for the transformation of a prosperous human planet full of cities to be completed. If he hadn’t known in advance that it was fake, Li Wenyuan would have thought that he had returned to the era of humans.
More and more nanobots began to gather in space. From the mining station to the star base, these nanobots were replicated once, and they actually looked like real ones.
The research spaceships located in the other galaxies in the distant star cluster also sent over the images they had discovered. It turned out that the dormant nanobots had regained the vitality of the planet under the control of the Gray Wind.
Looking from space, it seemed to have formed a civilization. All kinds of small ships were traveling between the planets, and the signal was constant.
“You can actually do this again? That’s right…” Li Wenyuan was a little shocked at first, but he soon felt relieved.
Because this was something that the Gray Storm had once done, as the essence of these nanobots, it was naturally not a problem for Gray Wind to achieve it.
And compared to their previous clumsy imitations, the civilization she created this time was obviously much more lifelike.
“I’ve said it before, right? Idyllic life is very boring. Disguising myself as a civilization is the best way to relieve my boredom. I’ve even simulated space wars between civilizations in this small star cluster before. It’s interesting to be a bystander, but it’s boring to be involved in it personally.”
Gray Wind’s expression was very calm. It seemed like she had indeed played this game many times.
“I can make the nanobots return to their original state. What do you need me to do? Turn into a fleet? Turn into a ground force? To transform these planets into habitable planets? Or maintain the form of civilization to provide production for you?
“I’ll say this first, my resources here have already been exhausted. If you need my nanofactory, you’ll have to provide the resources. Anything is fine. After all, no matter how powerful the nanobots are, they can’t make something out of nothing.”
Li Wenyuan looked at her and thought for a while, then continued to ask, “Even if you leave this star cluster, can you still maintain the operation of the civilization here?”
In fact, as soon as he discovered that the distant star cluster was located in an isolated area, he had the idea of making this place his back garden.
The only way to and from this place was through the stargate built by the gate builder. As long as he controlled the only entrance and exit here, he basically had no worries here.
He could build the expensive and important megastructures inside the distant star cluster to protect them in future wars.
After all, the Milky Way was so big that the enemy could come from any direction. The distant star cluster did not seem to have such a danger.
Gray Wind answered his question, “Of course, it’s not a problem for such a small matter. Do you need me to keep this place as a civilization?”
“Yes,” Li Wenyuan nodded. “Since the stargate leading to this place has been opened again, it is only a matter of time before other civilizations discover your existence. At least for now, 1 don’t want other civilizations to see this place as their territory.”
“In addition, 1 do need production capacity… Can your nanobots synthesize alloys?”
The news of the Distant Stargate being reopened barely spread in the galaxy, because most civilizations had not found such a special stargate.
Other than the Mingbow Science and Technology Nation, they had successfully taken control of a Distant Stargate within the country’s borders.
They were unable to open the stargate due to the extremely difficult encryption program that could not be cracked.
However, after the first stargate was opened, the other Distant Stargates began their self-deciphering process and successfully completed the opening process after a period of time.
The scientists of the Mingbow Science and Technology Nation looked at the strange stargate with hope. Just as they were about to send someone to explore where it led to, a special signal was transmitted from the stargate.
[ We are the Mediator. ]
I According to our investigation, you have not met the requirements to open the border. Please do not enter our territory. ]
[ Violators will be punished… ]
This signal was even directly broadcasted to the entire galaxy in different languages, expressing their attitude.
Therefore, most of the civilizations in the Milky Way turned their attention to the source of the signal – a special stargate in the territory of the Mingbow Science and Technology Nation.
Mingbow’s scientists looked at each other. They didn’t expect that there would be a civilization that had been sealed for a long time behind the door. They couldn’t make up their minds.
Their Chief Scientist and the leader gave up on the idea of forcing their way through after some thought. After all, it was better to be cautious when facing an unknown civilization.
However, as an insider, he knew that it was the Administrator who opened the stargate. He wanted to see how the lost empire would react to this unknown civilization.
However, to his surprise, the Administrator did not make any response. It only built a star base near the stargate to declare its sovereignty.
“The Administrator wasn’t angered? That means that the civilization behind the door should be related to them, or at least favored by them…”
The Chief Scientist kept thinking about the possibility of this, and then he thought of another point.
“Self-proclaimed the Mediator? Such a name…”
In the galaxy, only the lost empires would use such naming conventions. This seemed to be a custom, and other civilizations would deliberately avoid this special naming convention when calling themselves.
Just like the Mingbow Science and Technology Nation, although they also wanted to call themselves knowledge managers in a somewhat pretentious way, they knew that it would be meaningless other than making a fool of themselves.
“Is it another Lost Empire?” Thinking of this, the Chief Scientist’s heart turned cold. He immediately began to search for the historical traces that this mediator might have left behind.
At this time, Li Wenyuan had already withdrawn most of the research spaceships from the distant star cluster, leaving only a few of them as signal relay stations and surveillance cameras.
“How interesting! Look at that civilization. When 1 named myself the Mediator according to your naming system, they didn’t dare to come in!”
Gray Wind, who had come out of the distant star cluster, gestured excitedly at the research spaceship, which made Li Wenyuan understand what had happened.
“It’s not impossible. To be honest, I think you’re no different from the lost empire. Perhaps you’re even older than them?”
“The lost empire? 1 didn’t know that there was such a name. 1 guess they wouldn’t mind having another lost empire in this universe, right? Let me think… Why don’t we just call ourselves the lost nano empire?”
Gray Wind was interested in everything in the outside world and was fearless. Even his idea of disguising as a lost empire had been put into practice.
Li Wenyuan wasn’t worried at all, because he himself was pretending to be the lost nano empire.
Besides, Gray Wind wasn’t weak. The destruction of the gate builder by the Gray Storm had fully proved her strength.
If there was really a civilization that doubted the authenticity of the lost nano empire and wanted to test it out for themselves, they would not end up well.
“The outside world is really interesting! Let’s start a fun adventure!” “Remember to let your nanobots synthesize alloys..”
