Chapter 56 - 56: What Are The Mechanical Servants’ Hearts Made Of?
The connection between the lost nano empire and the galaxy was not known to outsiders, and most of the civilizations only took a quick glance before shifting their attention to other things.
The communication with the lost empire depended on their mood, and when the civilization had nothing to do, something more interesting would naturally attract their interest.
For example…
A biological civilization had announced that it would no longer ask about the sea of stars and embarked on the path of corruption many years in advance.
This incident undoubtedly attracted the attention of the galaxy. Many biological civilizations had already sent people to investigate the situation, wanting to understand how this civilization, which had been thriving not long ago, had entered a decline in just a few months.
Li Wenyuan, who was still looking for human remains, also set his eyes on this civilization.
A new mark suddenly appeared on the ancient star map that was once excavated from the ruins. It seemed that some human remains had been activated there.
The weak activation signal was transmitted to him, and the coordinates of the source of the signal were analyzed.
And that coordinate planet was within the borders of interstellar civilization.
In the galaxy, the official name of that civilization was the Semi Federation. It was a federation of civilizations composed of three species from different planets.
Even though they were of different races, they all called themselves the Semi people.
The origins of the Semi Federation were also very unique. Three planets in their mother galaxy had given birth to life.
Two of them were similar to earth. They were in the habitable zone of the stellar system, with a safe space environment and a suitable energy source.
The other planet that gave birth to life was a satellite of a gas giant. Although the environment was harsh, some species still managed to survive.
Before they came into contact with the big stage of the Milky Way, the three races of the Semi Federation had already experienced mutual deception in interstellar space.
The two races on the habitable planets had long discovered each other’s existence and were carefully testing each other.
In the beginning, everyone lived in peace until one of the races completed the unification of their own planet and launched an expedition plan against the other planet.
Just like that, a small-scale interstellar war broke out in the galaxy and gradually attracted the attention of a third civilization.
This civilization that was born on the satellite of the gas giant was the latest to develop, and its population was the smallest, but its technology was the most advanced.
They also joined the war and quickly turned the situation into a tripartite confrontation.
Friction and cooperation, conspiracies and ambitions, war and peace, all of these were repeated in the confrontation that lasted for thousands of years and became an epic in the history of the Semi Federation.
Their vision was limited to the galaxy, and they didn’t even consider the outside of the galaxy, until one day, a spaceship from an alien civilization came here and discovered the strange layout of this place.
The alien civilization looked at them and thought, “A group of natives who haven’t even flown out of the galaxy? I’m not killing indiscriminately?”
Then, they brought a fleet with a hyperspace engine to this galaxy, wanting to conquer these natives.
Little did they know that the three civilizations had developed their weapons to an extremely advanced level in the long space war, easily destroying the alien fleet.
Although they couldn’t catch up with the aliens because they didn’t have the hyperspace engine, they also realized that there were many things beyond the galaxy.
Therefore, after a series of exchanges, the three civilizations decided to form a joint civilization, which was now the Semi Federation. Through the wreckage of the alien fleet, they had developed a hyperspace engine and officially announced their existence to the Milky Way.
The moment this joint civilization was born, they quickly made a name for themselves in the interstellar society. Their proficient space combat techniques were quickly compiled into books and became part of the space war teaching materials for various Interstellar civilizations.
Just as everyone thought that they would gradually gain a certain right to speak in the galaxy, a letter to fellow galactic compatriots made many civilizations drop their glasses.
“My fellow galaxy compatriots, standing on the same stage.
“Regardless of whether your attitude toward us is friendly, cordial, malicious, or hateful, we have to announce a regretful fact now.
“We don’t want to work hard anymore.
“After today, we will return to our home galaxy and give up all communication with the outside world.
“Don’t worry about us.”
Gray Wind, who was floating in space, read out the content of the letter to the galaxy compatriots word by word.
Although sound couldn’t be transmitted in a vacuum, Li Wenyuan had read the contents of the notice word for word, so he automatically simulated the sound of the Gray Wind in his mind.
“Is it called Semi Federation? It wasn’t easy for you to stand in space, so why did you suddenly give up?”
Gray Wind’s signal was full of confusion. Li Wenyuan didn’t quite understand either.
However, the newly activated human relic was still within the territory of the Semi Federation. Li Wenyuan guessed that it was most likely due to the relic.
As the most loyal surveillance array of mankind, he naturally had to take a look.
“Are you interested in this?” he asked Gray Wind.
“I’m quite interested.”
“Then let’s go take a look. I’m quite interested in it too.”
“The first interstellar adventure is about to begin?!”
Gray Wind was overjoyed to hear the news, so much so that her form was a little unstable, and a few extra tentacles appeared on her back. It was hard to imagine what was in the beginner’s books left for her by humans.
However, Li Wenyuan didn’t have much of a reaction. He had already seen Gray Wind transform into all kinds of appearances, and she had even transformed into a Gundam before. This kind of situation didn’t seem strange to him.
Hence, a research spaceship and a nanobot assembly made up of a strange combination headed toward the territory of the Semi Federation.
At this time, in the mother galaxy of the Semi Federation, a large number of ships were constantly transporting from the outside world.
Many of them were Semi people who were rushing back to their hometowns, but most of them were transporting a type of robot.
At first glance, it seemed difficult to understand what they were doing, but when one looked at a habitable planet in the mother galaxy, one would know what was happening.
This was the satellite of the gas giant that had given birth to life. 60% of its surface was covered in glaciers. Even though the Semi Federation had made many changes to the planet, this glacial planet was still not that habitable.
One of the races that made up the federation came from there. They had lived an extremely difficult life since ancient times.
Suffering made them tenacious, as if all the difficulties could only make them move forward.
However, such an iron-blooded race had now become a group of slackers.
“Robot servant, food.”
“Alright, the nutritious meal will be done in five minutes. Do you need me to feed you?”
“I don’t feel like working today,”
“Alright, please rest well. Even if you skip work, your salary will still be paid as usual.”
“Mechanical servant, I’m heartbroken…”
“Can 1 be your lover? If you agree, I’ll choose a suitable bionic skin later.”
“Mechanical servant! I hate you! Hurry up and get lost!”
“I’m sorry that 1 can’t provide you with the appropriate service. After that, other servants will take over your service. Thank you for using it.”
…
Such scenes were happening all the time on this glacial planet. The iron-blooded species of the past were gone forever, leaving behind only a group of lazy people who lived in heaven.
A group of robots of unknown origin had become the servants of the Semi people and regarded their needs as the highest order. All their actions were to make their lives better.
Everyone had lost their jobs, and these mechanical servants replaced their positions and operated more efficiently.
At first, the dazed Semi people were afraid of this feeling of idleness, but they soon fell into the embrace of gentleness.
In the beginning, there were still people who were wary of these robots and warned their compatriots not to be fooled.
However, this kind of opposition disappeared without a trace after a few days. The sober man who had previously declared that he would never eat a meal with the mechanical servant had become a cripple after experiencing it for a while.
The entire civilization was falling at an unbelievable speed, and the letter to their galaxy compatriots was perhaps their last moment of clarity.
And all of this started with one of their archaeologists inexplicably activating a ruin..
