Chapter 506: The Other Kind of Skeleton People
The world of mountains and seas, the endless desert Gobi in the northwest region.
This is one of the areas with the harshest environment in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and it is also a place where most gods are unwilling to stay for long.
However, in this endless desert Gobi, huge devices made of bone structures and steel are neatly arranged.
Like a square formation, like an array...
The uniform, huge installations resemble a combination of an antenna and a giant dish.
The giant pot is responsible for rotating and adjusting the angle, while the antenna continues to extend into the sky.
When these huge devices receive information signals from the outside world, they will cause the entire array to adjust its angle and direction in an attempt to receive more and stronger signals.
“We’re finally here!”
"Is this the 'Space-Based Telescope Array'?"
Under the scorching sun, a strange-looking humanoid couldn't help but sigh.
Just like all new generation skeletons, this skeleton also covered his skeletal body with flesh and blood, and looked no different from ordinary creatures.
But the problem is that the flesh-and-blood colony covering the head of this skeleton appears to be in an "alien" state.
Overall, the head of this skeleton looks like an octopus, with eight tentacles on its lower jaw that can dance freely.
Whenever this skeleton opens his mouth to speak, his eight tentacles would twist randomly, giving people an extremely creepy feeling.
Combined with the slightly solemn and majestic attire of the skeletons, one can't help but feel a sense of confusion and horror.
"Can't your colony form be more normal?"
Standing next to this strange skeleton, its companion frowned and said so.
Obviously, even though they are all members of the same Skeleton People, its companions have some complaints about this Skeleton People's abnormal aesthetic taste.
It’s because of the other party’s weird, evil-god-like image.
The journey of the two people here can be said to be full of chaos. They were almost detained by investigators from the "Evil God Processing Center" as believers of the evil god.
Fortunately, both of them had passes granted by the think tank’s top management.
Only then was he successfully released amid the investigators' surprised and speechless eyes.
“Oh my!”
"Tianyu, don't be so serious!"
He let out a strange laugh and whispered to the skeleton who was dressed like an evil god to comfort him.
For today's skeleton people, covering their skeletal bodies with flesh and blood garments is no different from ordinary creatures putting on clothes.
What kind of clothes you wear and how you dress all depends on your personal preferences.
It can only be said that this skeleton's hobby of dressing himself up like an evil god was a bit too outrageous, which caused trouble along the way.
"Chi Qiu, you are too frivolous!"
Seeing this, Tianyu could only glare at Chi Qiu helplessly.
It really couldn't come up with any good way to deal with this good friend who was born and raised with it in the Bone Forest.
"I should have known that I shouldn't have let you get in touch with the 'gaming world' earlier..."
"Otherwise you wouldn't have developed such an alternative aesthetic."
The [gaming world] that originated from the [Civilization Game] has now become a part of the daily life and entertainment for the people of the mountains and seas.
Going to the [gaming world] whenever you want to play the corresponding NPC role has become a way for many people living in the mountains and seas to understand the outside world.
However, it’s just like the real world where there is a “game anti-addiction mechanism”.
The Shanhai Civilization also strictly prohibits those Shanhai people whose thoughts are not yet mature from contacting the [gaming world] in advance.
However, every policy has its own countermeasure.
Especially a race like the Skeleton People, who have a long growth cycle but strong hands-on ability.
It is not too uncommon to secretly hack brain computers and use them to log into the gaming world.
It was during this process that Chi Qiu came into contact with a special race called the "Mind Flayers", and under their influence, he developed his current alternative aesthetic.

"Are they the Skeletons who are here to take over this shift?"
Just as Tianyu and Chiqiu were chatting.
In a huge steel building not far away, a pair of skeletons who were also paired together looked at each other in surprise.
If Chiqiu's aesthetic is abnormal, then Tianyu, who has been able to partner with it until now, is actually not normal either.
At the very least, ordinary skeletons would not metalize their flesh and blood colonies and make themselves look like robots.
"Are all the new generations now so...eccentric?"
After thinking for a long time, the skeleton said in a low voice, "I really don't know what words to use to describe Tianyu and Chiqiu."
However, the two skeleton partners who were discussing this forgot that they were also not easy to deal with among their peers.
In other words, none of the survivors who are able to come to this desert Gobi project where all life is extinct and the highest level of confidentiality is easy to deal with.
The essence of the [Space-Based Telescope Array] is actually a super-large deep space exploration project.
In terms of importance and priority, the [Space-Based Telescope Array] is not much worse than the [Castle in the Sky] project that directly enters the void.
Based on years of research by the Shanhai civilization, they have long realized that the world has never existed alone.
Even in the world of mountains and seas enveloped by the vortex of time and space, some valid information and content can be restored through the activities of other creatures and civilizations in the void.
Unfortunately, these valid information are often mixed in the chaos of infinite void, making it extremely difficult to identify and restore them.
Thus, a huge matrix array capable of receiving information from the outside world was born.
It's like looking at the world outside through an "extremely large telescope", hence the name "Space-based Telescope Array".
By continuously receiving the most basic information from the outside world, we can filter out the truly effective content.
The most difficult part of this project is not to continuously receive the extraterrestrial information distorted by the vortex of space and time, but to identify the truly effective information from those meaningless chaotic traces.
Looking at the entire mountain and sea civilization, the only ones who have the ability and patience to do this are the skeleton people.
Given the high level of this project, all the selected corpses are basically the best of their kind, and basically have infinite curiosity about the outside world.
Even so, the think tank's top management has to rotate personnel every hundred years.
This is not for any confidentiality reasons, but simply to allow observers and analysts of the Space-Based Telescope Array project to get enough rest.
After all, no matter how curious the corpse people are, it would be difficult for them to maintain their original desire for knowledge after a hundred years of boring information sifting life.
