Chapter 49
The surveillance system above was working, but it was unable to do anything to the intruders because of the existence of the system.
The distance at which the system affects things is limited by the energy difference. At such a distance, the energy consumption of shielding the monitoring inside the base was within Qi Heng's expectations, so he chose the one that was beneficial to him without hesitation.
On the system interface in front is the internal planning map of the base.
Judging from the original plan, this base was not equipped with too many threatening weapons when it was first built. Apart from the cameras in operation, the base's security force is almost non-existent.
There is only one reason why the Ikar civilization treats them this way - there is no danger on Tianyun Star, and without danger, there is naturally no need to build so many defensive and offensive weapons.
The Ikal civilization is confident that the door on the ground alone can stop everyone.
After all, the illiterate Zerg don't have that ability no matter how you look at it.
A0 also noticed the Ikal civilization's attitude towards the Zerg and whispered in his ear.
[Your Excellency, they truly underestimated us.]
They would never have thought you would show up again, and walk in openly. If you look down on us like this, we'll be doomed sooner or later.
[No normal person would ever think of that.] Qi Heng replied casually.
The Tianjia civilization has been in decline since more than 10,000 years ago and there is no possibility of it rising again. The Overlord disappeared so early that even the Tianjia Zerg themselves could not find it. The Overlord did not reappear when the civilization collapsed. Who would have thought that the Overlord would appear again?
I guess everyone thought he was dead a long time ago.
A0 let out a snarling laugh and said maliciously, "So they are destined to become the stepping stones for this civilization to return to its peak."
[……]
Qi Heng sighed inwardly. A0 had been expressing such opinions for a while now, and he was used to it.
[Lord, we are very lucky.]
At this moment, Qi Heng, who had been walking forward, suddenly stopped.
[There is a sound.]
As he was thinking about how to hide himself, he heard A0's voice.
[Master, don't worry. It's the cleaning robot in the base. It won't 'discover' you.]
Along with A0's voice, a robot with a cylindrical suction cup bottom that was no taller than Qi Heng's thigh appeared in front of him.
The cleaning robot slowly passed in front of him, and just as A0 said, it was completely oblivious to the presence of him as an intruder.
[There are four members of the Ikal civilization in this base, and the rest are some auxiliary intelligent robots... The robots' programs were backdoored when I hacked into the system, so anyone who comes across one can easily control them.]
From the system invading the base door lock to him entering the base, the whole process was equivalent to a real combat drill. After this copy was over, he would return to reality to check for any deficiencies and fill in the gaps based on the simulation.
A0, who knows all the information in the base well, will provide him with relevant information when he needs it.
After learning what this base had done, Qi Heng, who had already disliked this base, also began to dislike the Ikar civilization and its members that built the base... Not only that, there were also civilizations that had built similar buildings on Tianyun Star before.
They used female and male Zerg for experiments, studying how to better control and enslave the Zerg, and treated the Zerg on Tianyun Star as their own experimental guinea pigs.
And the Great Purge...
After the defeat of the Tianjia civilization, some of them were imprisoned on Tianyun Star, which was then handed over to a civilization designated by the Star Alliance to be guarded and to exploit their surplus value.
This period of time has lasted for tens of thousands of years from the past to the present.
Ten thousand years is enough time for primitive people to develop into modern civilization, and the civilization that guards the Zerg will naturally not remain unchanged.
Unfortunately, there is very little information about this part in the base. We only know that Tianyun Star has had several "masters" since the Ikar Civilization took over. The number and time of the succession are uncertain and there is no specific pattern.
As for the "Great Purge", it is somewhat related to the replacement of caretakers. It is nothing more than retaining some eggs, cubs or insects that have not yet entered adulthood of the Tianjia Zerg, destroying the gathering place once and then rebuilding it.
Doing so can not only nip the seeds of civilization in the bud, but also cause the civilization, which is already difficult to pass on, to continue to be interrupted.
After A0 learned this from the main brain database of the base, he cursed the Interstellar Alliance, Ikal Civilization and others. Compared to A0 who was so excited that he wanted to materialize and perform the operation, Qi Heng was not too surprised by this.
This unscrupulous approach is to be expected.
Qi Heng walked towards the main control room of the research base with a calm expression. His footsteps were very light in the smooth metal corridor, but even so, there was still a slight sound echoing in his ears.
…
Inside the main control room.
Lei, the member of the Ikal civilization who is on duty this month, is leisurely playing a single-player game with a gaming keyboard. There is no other entertainment on this desolate planet except playing games.
After all, he had no interest in torturing experimental subjects in the laboratory, and it was purely bad luck that he was assigned here.
This is a well-made single-player game with excellent graphics. It is a single-player game that requires mental power to operate. There are forty or fifty keys densely packed on the game keyboard in front of Lei. After adjustment, it has no response to normal operations and only responds to mental power.
Most of the popular interstellar games have two operating methods. Normal operation is suitable for killing time, while mental operation can also serve as a training and will make the game reaction speed faster.
In the main control room, there are various crystal screens besides the operating console, but only two or three tenths of them are actually in use, and the rest are in low-energy standby mode.
Lei was playing a game when a communication request popped up. He was so scared that he made a mistake in operation and his game character lost half of his health.
"ah--"
"Who is it? Come to me at this time."
Lei's face was twisted with anger. You know, he had just barely gotten through this level, but now that he was disrupted like this, he had no chance.
An angry Lei picked up the phone next to him, and when he saw the name flashing on the screen, he tried to make his expression look friendly. After adjusting his expression and showing a smile, he answered the call.
"Teacher Jieyol, what's the matter with you contacting me?"
The person who appeared on the call interface had smoky gray eyes and long black hair. If it weren't for their different appearance, it would have been like he was looking in a mirror when he video-called Lei.
Long black hair and smoky gray eyes are the characteristics of members of the Ikar civilization. People in the entire civilization have the same hair and eye color.
Their unique smoky-gray eyes and pure black hair allow them to immediately identify which civilization they come from when standing next to other races in the interstellar space.
Compared to Lei, who still had a youthful look and looked like he was in his early twenties, the man called 'Teacher Jeyol' was no longer young and looked to be at least in his fifties.
The appearance and age of interstellar races never match, but when they begin to age, it means that their age is definitely far beyond their apparent age, at least twice as old.
"I've run out of experimental subjects. Didn't they just send a new batch? Can you send me two?" Jayol's tone was clearly one of notification rather than inquiry.
Lei knew this was a difficult matter, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Teacher Jayol, we can't move that batch. You know, Falling Star Day is coming soon. If the number is wrong, there will be punishment."
"Then ask them to send some more."
"Anyway, my experiment is at a critical stage and I can't stop now." Jayol looked at him and sneered, "If you don't send the experimental subject over, your final internship report will look very bad."
