MTL - Become The Guard AI Of The Lost Civilization After Transmigration-Chapter 197 "Ghost Signal"

  Chapter 197 "Ghost Signal"

   "We seem to be in trouble. The 'Mechanical Lost Empire' lost his mind for some reason, and issued a task of 'finding a barrier planet'. Our place will soon become the target of public criticism.

   The scientist of "Empire the Conqueror" made such a warning.

  Their families are nobles in the empire, and only this status can allow them to work in the Royal Research Institute, which is regarded as the core of the empire.

   Although the "Conqueror Empire" is a civilization that implements absolute monarchy, and the emperor is the supreme authority of the entire civilization, education is still highly valued in the civilization.

  The nobles in the empire are not all playboys. The nobles who enjoy the concentrated treatment of generous resources have obviously much higher quality than other "inferior people", especially the emperor.

  The imperial power of the "Conqueror Empire" has become eternal under the technological and cultural environment, and all possible successors have received the most stringent, even cruel, imperial education.

  Generally speaking, every emperor of the "Conqueror Empire" will theoretically be a wise and powerful "sage monarch" who never makes mistakes.

   However, the real situation is often not the case.

  The corruption brought about by time is far deeper than they imagined. The rigid system and centralized selfish desires are the chief culprits leading to their decline.

   The technology of the "Empire of Conquerors" is not enough for people to achieve immortality, and more than one emperor has been doing stupid things like "searching for elixir of life" that only native emperors would do.

  If there were not really a few "sage monarchs" who had operated a strong military force for the "Empire of the Conqueror", otherwise the "Empire of the Conqueror" would have come to an end in decline.

  Although the current "Empire of the Conquerors" has the most powerful strength among ordinary civilizations in the galaxy in name, this is just the afterglow of the sunset.

   So no one in civilization is aware of this problem?

  The answer is yes, but those people either subconsciously ignored it, or didn't want to change at all.

  After all, the normal decline of civilization often takes tens of thousands of years, and the moment of the end is not their turn.

  They can completely hypnotize themselves that "the empire is in its prime", and then obey their own desires. What does the "destruction of the country" after thousands or even tens of thousands of years have to do with them?

  It's a pity that civilization itself is declining, but its strength has not decreased but increased.

   Those special battleships obtained from the barrier planet became the source of their self-confidence, and therefore more and more people in the empire regarded this barrier planet as part of civilization.

  Even the emperor.

  "...The entire galaxy should belong to the emperor. The emperor sympathized with the hard work of the people and gave other star regions to his subordinates to manage. Now these people are ungrateful and want to fight against their own emperor because of the order of a group of tin cans?"

  A certain scientist who was also at the Royal Academy of Sciences spoke out indignantly, his words were full of abuse and hatred, and he looked like a close minister of the emperor.

   While the other fellow scientists knew about this scientist, they all sighed inwardly, ignoring his anger, and instead worried about how to make the empire survive this difficulty.

   Unlike other scientists who received aristocratic education from an early age and were able to maintain a stable mentality all the time, this scientist was raised from the "inferior people".

  Although he is talented and intelligent, under the distorted education and cultural environment, he has become a fanatical fan of the emperor, and any matter involving the emperor will arouse his enthusiasm.

   And other scientists see more thoroughly, they are very clear that the "Guardian" will not issue tasks at will.

  According to past experience, after the task issued by the "Guardian" is submitted, the "Mechanical Lost Empire" will personally verify the authenticity of the matter.

   Such a civilization wanted to find a barrier planet, and mobilized the entire galaxy for this purpose, but the "Conqueror Empire" didn't feel that the news of their barrier planet could not reach the "Guardians".

   At that time, no matter whether the "Guardian" just wants to "see" or wants to do something to the barrier planet, it will be a huge blow to the emperor's majesty and the face of the empire.

   "What's more... we happen to have something here that will definitely attract 'Guardians'..." A scientist from the "Conqueror Empire" took a pessimistic attitude.

   Following his words like talking to himself, a comparative data instantly appeared in front of the scientists.

   "...This is a mission issued by the 'Guardian' once: to find a special spaceship of this type—"

  The data comparison chart instantly shrunk, replaced by a blurry image.

  This picture comes from a search mission of "Guardian", which records a strange warship composed of geometric metal blocks.

  Because it was not found for a long time, this task gradually faded from the vision of galactic civilization and was soon forgotten.

  But today, some scientists had a flash of inspiration and compared the mission information of the "Guardian" in a concentrated manner, and quickly found similarities from the warships composed of regular or irregular geometries.

  Although it is not 100% sure that the two warships represent the same civilization, the similarity of some key nodes is enough for these scientists to regard them as the same thing.

  They believe that the targets of the "Guardians" include those weird battleships already under their control, and the barrier planet is one of them.

  They have two things that the "Guardian" is interested in at the same time, and they will meet the "Guardian" sooner or later.

  The price paid by those who threatened other civilizations to choose "support" at the meeting of "establishing the Star Sea Empire" is that they have exposed the matter of the barrier planet and the weird fleet.

  Even though they seem to be all-powerful in the galaxy, they are very clear about the level of the "Guardians", and it is no problem for one civilization to beat ten of them.

   If it is not necessary, they do not want to have any confrontation with the "Guardian".

   "...you all know the emperor's temper, we can't just bring bad news to him..."

The scientists of the "Conqueror Empire" began to have a headache about how to minimize the risk of things, but one of the scientists who had been immersed in research from the beginning to the end suddenly exclaimed, as if he had discovered something. things.

  He ignored the heavy atmosphere in the laboratory, and announced his discovery with great enthusiasm:

   "Hey! Guys, look what I found? Remember that string of strange signals from the barrier planet?"

   "From the very beginning, I noticed that the signals looked familiar, as if I had seen them not long ago."

   "Facts have proved that my guess is correct! There is a high degree of similarity between that signal and the 'ghost signal' sent out when the 'Guardian' changes. They seem to be products of the same source!"
