It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 175: Allies with infinite potential? The foundation of magic civilization?

"Gray Goo?"

Asakura Ryoko showed obvious interest and looked at the samples on the table in front of her with great interest.

"Although the name is just a code name, I still want to ask... why is it called this name?"

"Since the name is just a code name, then doesn't it matter what it is called? After all, it has to have a name." The magician replied calmly.

"Can't you just talk about it? I want to know more about you." Asakura Ryoko raised her head, looked directly at him, and said sincerely with a bright smile: "This can also effectively enhance our communication and help me improve the accuracy of my assessment of your emotional modeling..."

"..."

"..."

"Asakura-san, you don't need to say the rest."

Xia Zhi twitched his eyebrows, his expression seemed a little subtle, and then after thinking for a while, he decisively and considerately gave the girl a suggestion.

"Just use that expression you just made and say the sentence above, and I guarantee those little boys will be completely fascinated by you."

"Then teacher, will you make me crazy?" Asakura Ryoko tilted her head with a smile, her waist-length blue hair swaying slightly behind her.

"I'm not a little boy anymore." The magician naturally had no guilt at all, saying that he was already a veteran and could stand the test.

"Then there is no point..."

Asakura Ryoko chuckled and shook her head, with a look of regret on her face.

Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows. Is she very good at this, or is she not good at it at all? Has she received special intensive training in this area?
However, he did not hesitate. After a brief thought, he began to explain: "This name is a tribute. It is also the name of a certain kind of extremely advanced nanomachine that I am familiar with. They are trapped in an isolated galaxy outside the Milky Way..."

........................

The name "Grey Goo" he mentioned comes from a setting in the 7+ game "Stellaris".

It would be rated as a 7+ game, implying that it is more suitable for people aged 7 who are not criminally responsible. Naturally, this shows that the content of this game is quite interesting - including militarism, orbital bombardment, purification of heretics, genocide... It can be said to be a family game that focuses on love and peace and is suitable for all ages.

One of the events in the game is about Gray Goo, which is the name for a kind of nanomachine.

These terrifying, highly intelligent nanomachines were originally created by their creators to build a stargate network between the Milky Way and an isolated star cluster outside the Milky Way. However, for some unknown reason, they went out of control and began to devour all the planets to infinitely replicate their own existence.

Their creators had no choice but to shut down the star gate network, and then engage in a deadly battle with the out-of-control and rampaging nanomachines in that special isolated star cluster... The result was unsurprisingly that they were completely wiped out, and their civilization was lost in history.

——The Creation is better than the Creator.

——The Creator was defeated in the hands of his creation.

But no matter what, because the star gate network was shut down in advance, the rebellious nanomachines, despite their ultimate victory, were trapped in the isolated star cluster and unable to leave. They were isolated and silent for an infinite number of years.

It was not until countless millions of years later that a later civilization rose in the Milky Way galaxy far beyond time and space. After extensive research on nanomachines and subspace phenomena, they mastered enough technology to reactivate the paralyzed stargate network.

Let the isolated star cluster reconnect with the Milky Way.

This behavior is equivalent to opening a blind box. As the fourth disaster of the player, when opening the closed isolated star cluster, you may face different results. These results should be the reflection of the changes of the internal nanomachines in different time sequences. If you enter the star cluster at different time periods, you may encounter different nanomachines.

Perhaps still out-of-control nanomachines, the Gray Goo Storm emerged from the reactivated Stargate and reentered the Milky Way. The nanomachines swept across planet after planet like a black storm cloud, consuming all resources to replicate themselves...

It is possible that an alien empire calling itself the Desanu Concord is inhabiting the entire star cluster. In reality, they are nanomachines that have returned to normal and are no longer out of control. They are disguised as an alien civilization...

It could be that giant star dragons with nanomachine structures appeared, imitating these space creatures, and left the isolated star cluster after the star gate was reopened...

Maybe there is nothing at all, only emptiness, a dead and silent nano world...

That's basically it.

certainly--

It is also possible to spawn a wife.

But this depends on luck. After all, if you don't use the power of the fourth disaster awakening, then after opening the door, what will appear in the isolated star cluster is completely random and you can only rely on luck.

Most of the new players were hit head-on by the gray poison storm that emerged from behind the door. This thing was comparable to the end-of-the-world crisis in the early stages. Not only could they not cope with it themselves, even the entire galaxy and all life in it would be implicated.

So, this thing is actually a bit dangerous.

However, Xia Zhi wanted to name it "Gray Gu" as a tribute, and also to place some of his own hopes on it. After all, the information life form that has been connected now can already control the entire galaxy at the information level. So as a magician from another world, and a young man who is preparing to impact the realm of the devil in the future...

Naturally, he also hopes that he can have a longer-term vision and master some physical technology that can bring a small shock to the galaxy.

If even the galactic nightmare cannot be achieved——

How can we talk about the divine tip that controls the universe?

Although it seems that this small goal is also very far away now, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. He is convinced that this nanomachine has extremely terrifying potential.

after all……

It is the Steel of the Gods, an important legacy of the unfathomable Mechanic civilization.

However, he did not tell Asakura Ryoko about these ideas. He just briefly talked about the settings and information about Gray Gu, and did not even mention that it was just a game... It didn't matter anyway. Judging from his current situation, he might travel to that universe someday.

Who can guarantee that it is really a virtual game?

This kind of information is simply set information, which cannot be falsified or confirmed, and is perfect for nonsense.

"...If what you said is true, then it is indeed valuable." Asakura Ryoko was thoughtful, with a faint light flickering in her eyes. This was not a descriptive statement, but a realistic statement, as if she was exchanging information with somewhere unknown in some way at this moment.

"A super-advanced civilization that can escape even the destruction of the universe and flee to another universe, possesses physical technology..." "This is unheard of even in the evaluation of information-integrated thought bodies. If the important foundation of this civilization is this kind of nanomachine..."

She paused, then nodded heavily and said firmly: "The Information Integration Thought Entity believes that the cooperation content you proposed is very valuable, so I will fully cooperate with you to crack the information of this sample!"

"Very good, then we have reached a consensus..." Xia Zhi smiled heartily. He was not surprised by this result. At the same time, he raised a question intentionally or unintentionally: "I am just a little curious. In your universe...is there no physical civilization that has developed to this level?"

"Not at all. Not to mention the level of being able to escape to another universe when the universe is destroyed, even the Type 1 and Type 2 civilizations imagined by humans have not appeared."

Asakura Ryoko shook her head——

"In fact, for a long time, we believed that intelligence could not be found in organic life forms with limited information collection and communication capabilities, until the emergence of humans on this planet."

Humans are different from information life forms that exist in complete forms from the beginning. They are born as incomplete organic life forms and then evolve rapidly and autonomously, increasing the amount of existing information while creating new information and processing and storing it.

It is very common for organic life forms in various parts of the universe to have consciousness, but as of now, only humans on Earth have continued to evolve to a level of high intelligence. Therefore, the information integration thought body, which is very concerned about this, continues to observe humans on Earth.

But even so, humans on Earth are still only in the post-atomic age and the early stages of the space age.

Even if we calculate the level of civilization of future people, it will be just like that.

Therefore, the information integration thought body is very interested in the information about the alien civilization provided by Xia Zhi, and at the same time greatly improves its value assessment of him as a collaborator.

"I see." The magician nodded slightly, thinking.

And this time——

"But the information here is still too severely damaged. Are there no other samples?" Asakura Ryoko asked, fiddling with the waste on the table and frowning slightly.

Even if her authority was upgraded and she obtained more computing resources, it was still difficult to read any useful clues and information from it at this moment.

"Yes, yes—"

Xia Zhi said calmly, stretched out his hand and lightly swept across the desk, directly listing out pieces of debris of different sizes.

These were the fragments he had collected on the Sea of Nothingness before. They were all very small, so small that he could place them casually on the table. They were tiny parts of the shattered shells and internal structures of the True Mecha Gods. Compared to their huge structures, they were probably the size of fallen debris from their bodies.

"But, it's basically the same, the information is very worn out... In fact, if it wasn't like this, we wouldn't have cooperated with you."

White destruction crushes everything, harvesting, collecting, and recycling all kinds of information...

The damage caused is also catastrophic. The lives, buildings, and concepts destroyed by it will be absorbed as spiritual information...

This also caused considerable trouble to Xia Zhi's archaeological work. That is to say, he happened to encounter the Information Integration Thought Body, an advanced cosmic life that specializes in the information level, so he thought about it and felt that there was a chance to recover the data.

"That's right."

Asakura Ryoko sighed.

Cooperation is naturally about each party taking what they need. It is normal for the other party to provide samples that you don't have and for you to provide technology that the other party doesn't have. If the information hadn't been so severely damaged, the other party probably wouldn't have needed to consider cooperating with outsiders at all, and would have been able to complete the work on their own.

In that case, she would have no chance to intervene.

“How could such a powerful civilization become like this?” The girl tilted her head slightly, held her chin, and stared at the samples on the table in a very cute posture.

"Although they escaped from the destroyed original universe and fled to my world, they also paid an extremely heavy price..."

Xia Zhi explained casually: "So before I could make a comeback, I was destroyed by a powerful creature from another civilization in my world."

"A powerful creation from another civilization?"

"Yes, that is a starship called the Predator. It travels in the endless sea of the universe, taking an incalculable amount of time by human standards, and moving continuously at a speed exceeding the speed of light. It is the enemy of life in the vast universe and the destroyer of civilization. It enters the Milky Way once every 14,000 years..."

Xia Zhi spoke in a very calm tone and told the situation very frankly.

There is no need to hide or cover up in this regard. It would be better to be direct, just like the samples he took out and did not use them to make a big deal out of them.

Because that would easily arouse suspicion. It would be very difficult to hide things that directly involve oneself from the other party... On the contrary, if you choose to tell them directly and frankly, the other party may be able to make up some unusual things based on logic.

"There's actually something like this that can catch wandering stars."

Asakura Ryoko looked serious: "It seems that although your world has infinite possibilities, it is also more complicated."

A mechanical civilization that escaped from another universe...

A predator wandering around hunting in this universe...

And that——

The gray goo storms that were once trapped in isolated star clusters outside the Milky Way were showing her an unusual picture of the universe, one that was chaotic, dangerous, and full of murderous intent.

In such a situation, the other party - or the unknown super-advanced cosmic life form behind the other party, or the civilization to which it belongs, can still survive in such a world and come into contact with such high-level secrets, which naturally shows that it is indeed not an ordinary person.

Considering the information he disclosed to the neutrals...

Such a magical civilization is indeed worth communicating with...

At present, the other party has not even revealed the main part of his civilization, that is, the "magic" part. He has only revealed some samples or intelligence obtained from other civilizations, which undoubtedly have extremely high value...

Thinking of this, Asakura Ryoko smiled even more happily. This was indeed an ally with unlimited potential.

She showed a bright and brilliant smile to the young man in front of her, and at the same time applied in her mind to raise the level of importance of this ally representative to the highest level -

From being second only to Haruhi Suzumiya to being on the same level as Haruhi Suzumiya.
