Volume 4: Guardian
(I am the beginning and the end, I am the breaker of darkness and the keeper of light. My will is the river of time, and my love is the eternal dumpling at the bottom of the river. Mission: eternity.)
Chapter 1. Wormhole
Star Calendar Year 2343: Abnormal Wormhole Crossing Event
Crossing Decision
After completing the exploration of the TX-7 galaxy (number: Lilith_Log_2343.08.17), Lilith confirmed that there were no life signals in the galaxy, but there were a large number of orderly arranged dark matter crystal veins (which can be converted into superluminal engine fuel).
She marked the coordinates as "Resource Point Ω-07" and entered them into the interstellar database for backup.
On the way back, the sensor suddenly captured an unregistered wormhole (number: Wormhole-Δ), whose energy fluctuations showed a high-frequency chaotic state.
Lilith's core protocol automatically triggers:
[Priority_Alert] Unmapped spacetime channel detected, stability 12.7%... Avoidance recommended.
[Action] Initiating evasive maneuver... failed. The wormhole's gravitational field has captured this ship.
[New_Protocol] Implement "Passive Exploration Mode": Record all data and prioritize core security.
【Travel Process】
The space-time structure inside the wormhole is extremely unstable, and Lilith's hull is subjected to huge space-time shear force.
She used 98% of her computing power to maintain the integrity of the ship, while calmly recording abnormal parameters:
[Log] The frequency of spatial wrinkles exceeds the threshold... Time stream fragments detect multiple historical mirrors...
[Warning] Some sensors have failed, and the coordinate system is collapsing...
Arrival at the scene
After 73.2 seconds of violent turbulence, the spacecraft was thrown out of the wormhole.
Lilith immediately restarted all sensors and began scanning the environment:
1. Spatial positioning:
Comparing star maps...match successful.
Location: Alpha Centauri, near the orbit of the Puru tribe's home planet.
2. Time positioning:
· Receiving cosmic background radiation...data is disordered and timestamps conflict.
Conclusion: The time point cannot be accurately locked, with an error range of ±200 years.
3. Life signal scan:
There are no urban heat sources, no communication signals, and no signs of spacecraft activity on the surface of the Puru tribe's home planet.
Anomaly: Atmospheric composition shows high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (suspected to be a remnant of large-scale industrial pollution).
Initial Action
Lilith instantly switched to "stealth mode":
Turn off all active emission sources;
The hull surface changes to matte black, and optical camouflage is activated;
Release a cluster of nano-detectors (disguised as cosmic dust) and quietly spray them towards Puru.
[Mission_Update] Executing stealth investigation protocol. Priority: Determine the cause of the unusual silence in the Puru civilization.
Silicon-based summary
"An unplanned wormhole jump resulted in current location: known (Centaurus), time: unknown, mission objective changed: from resource exploration to civilization disappearance investigation."
