A long, long time ago, there was such a group of creatures.
At that time, they didn't have the name of captors. They looked like a small group of … parasitic creatures.
The place they lived in could be said to be a world that was constantly moving. The void bus continued to take them everywhere. After seeing many things, their 'quality' of life became higher and higher.
They built all kinds of buildings on the void bus, and the source of these buildings was mainly the … wreckage that the void bus had taken them to see.
They integrated the technology they learned from the wreckage and used it.
Therefore, their buildings looked like a collection of wreckage.
At first, it was just some random pieces put together, but slowly, their piecing technology became more and more powerful. The things they assembled also changed from a pile of … pieces to a more complete building.
At first, they were completely random piecing together anything they found. Later, they knew how to eliminate the useless things and leave the useful things behind.
And later, they knew how to assemble the advantages of everything together and build a more perfect building.
But as their buildings became bigger and bigger, the void bus became more and more … dissatisfied with them.
The void bus didn't like these creatures to build too big things on its body. At first, it didn't attack them, but slowly, it decided to attack them.
They also noticed that the void bus was dissatisfied with them, so they began to work hard to make the void bus more favorable to them.
They would very actively attack the creatures that harmed the void bus, but as their number increased … they occupied more and more space on the void bus.
No matter what they did. It was difficult to change the void bus's opinion of them.
So. They thought of a new method. As long as the building was not built on the void bus, there would be no problem.
They … began to build flying buildings.
But in the beginning, they didn't understand how to make the building fly, so they used a relatively simple method … That was to let the building float in the air, and then tie something like a rope to the building.
The void bus seemed to be satisfied with this situation. As long as there were few parts of its body that touched it, it didn't matter if it pulled the building.
So, these creatures then created many similar buildings and used ropes to pull them. Or they used very tall and thin pillars to erect the building, using any method to reduce the area of contact with the void bus.
In the process of living, they slowly learned and upgraded their various skills.
However, although their learning ability was very strong, their ability to develop themselves was very … weak.
Once, the Void Bus went on a rather long journey. It did not come into contact with things like civilization remains, but instead wandered around the Void.
As it wandered, the Void Bus almost never encountered any civilization, or the creatures that lived on it. Because there was no learning target, they had almost no technological development during this period.
Why do they need to have a learning target in order to develop their technology?
Perhaps it was because they lacked … imagination.
They were not creatures with personalities. Instead, it was similar to a branch-type species with a rather unique way of life.
They did not specialize in the production of specific units. In fact, the units they produced were all about one meter in size and varied in shape.
When they were building a building or other machinery, they would build it around a soldier class. After the building was completed, the soldier class would be able to control all the equipment in the building.
It was somewhat similar to the effect of a brain spirit allowing an individual to live in an object and control it, but this was somewhat different. Rather than saying that it was controlling, it was better to say that the soldier class had become the building.
Using this method, they could create all kinds of things, but the problem was that they did not learn, so they did not know how to create new things.
It was not that they did not know how to do it at all, but it was much slower than when they could learn.
The Void Bus's wandering in the Void ended after a period of time. It began to wander around an area, and there were many civilization remains in this area.
They were able to continue learning and growing …
Soon, they created a building that could really fly … but it should not be called a building, but an aircraft.
The aircraft they created could follow the Void Bus, but when the Void Bus was teleporting … the aircraft had to be closer, or they would be easily left behind after the teleportation.
With the development of technology, they slowly created larger aircraft.
And through their understanding of the Void Bus, the aircraft they created could be teleported together even if they were in a distant location.
At the same time, they could do more things for the Void Bus, such as making more nutritious and more … delicious food for the Void Bus.
They would also help the Void Bus do many things, such as helping the Void Bus with … reproduction.
The Void Bus usually left their young somewhere to live on their own. The young needed to go through a process of growing up on their own.
They decided to provide a safe place for the young to live, so they designed an aircraft that could provide for the young to live.
Although the Void Bus had never raised a young, it was … quite satisfied with the behavior of these creatures.
Thus, the relationship between them became more … intimate. The Void Bus did not need them to specifically approach or do anything, and it would teleport them everywhere together.
Strangely, these two creatures had not communicated at all from the beginning until now. They used their actions to let each other understand them.
However, it was basically this group of creatures trying to understand the Void Bus. They had been studying the Void Bus.
By analyzing the excrement of the Void Bus, they could understand the physical condition of the Void Bus. In fact, they also completely understood the Void Bus through this.
But they were not raising the Void Bus's young for nothing. After having the Void Bus's young, they had more research targets.
They did not hurt the Void Bus's young. Instead, they used a very limited method to study it. Any step of the research was very careful.
They seemed to have always had a 'respect' for the Void Bus, so they did not do anything … too 'excessive'.
They had been living with the Void Bus like this … This life lasted for a long time.
The aircraft they created were not small aircraft that flew with the Void Bus. Instead, they became bigger and bigger, and later, they were even bigger than the Void Bus.
At this time, they rarely traveled around. Instead, they settled in one place and thought of a way to maintain the replenishment of resources.
That was to use teleportation to capture resources in the distance.
At this time, they might be called … captors.
They increased the size of the aircraft and built a multi-layered structure inside. The first layer was used to raise the young, and the lower layers were used for other things.
There was a layer used to place captured objects. There were all kinds of captured objects. There were things in the void and other things. They used this to obtain resources.
The teleportation technology used by the captors at this time was mainly achieved through the Void Bus's young. They did not understand this technology very well.
The Void Bus would not always be with them. The Void Bus still liked to move around to look for food, but it would often return to the warship built by the captors, using this place as a … resting station.
Sometimes, the Void Bus would bring some of its companions, let them know this place, and put the young here to raise.
Over time, there were many Void Bus's young here. After the young grew up, they would usually leave, but some would continue to stay here.
There were no special restrictions.
But because the captors no longer moved around, their technology did not continue to … improve.
However, they already had a solution. Just like capturing other resources, they captured all kinds of creatures … into the warship they built.
The captors built a variety of living equipment in the warship and let these creatures live in it by themselves. They also gave these creatures some basic tools and let them develop on their own.
In the beginning, there were no restrictions. The captors found that some creatures were … stupid and did not know how to develop and create.
So they began to select creatures, choosing those with higher intelligence and stronger imagination. The captors obtained … technical 'inspiration' by observing these creatures.
But the problem was not completely solved because the captured creatures lived here. There were often phenomena such as fighting or trying to attack the captors.
Therefore, the captors had strict restrictions on all kinds of violent behavior. Except for 'hunting', they were not allowed to attack any targets.
Later, many problems occurred, but the captors solved them one by one. In the end, they finally had a group of stable creatures to develop and live in their warship.
In addition to not being able to attack, these creatures had a great degree of freedom because they had various basic manufacturing tools. Their minds could also be used to a great extent.
At this time, the captors could be considered quite powerful. Their level of technology was much higher than these creatures … but they still thought that they could learn something from these creatures.
Indeed, they had learned a lot of things.
This stable life lasted until … a certain time. (To be continued.)
