"This is where we live. Once you're here, you'll be able to see a lot of things. For example, there are floating rocks and even more floating rocks. "
Lin's mechanical spiders were flying with a group of xenogeneics. Although Lin had attacked them earlier, they had 'forgiven' Lin and allowed her to move with them.
Of course, this forgiveness wasn't for nothing. Lin had made a deal with them. The mechanical spiders agreed to help them retrieve the silver thread, and in return, they were willing to take the spiders to where they lived.
Lin followed them to where they lived. There were a lot of floating rocks, but they seemed to live in an innermost location, so they were still floating.
"It's that place. That place is a bit bigger than the others. Very big, right? They've been here since a long, long time ago, and they're still here. "
These xenogeneics were constantly chatting while they were on the move. They often said 'normal' things, which made them feel like they were easy to communicate with.
But in fact, this was one of their tactics. They wanted to make other creatures feel like they were easy to get close to, so other creatures would lower their guard.
Because Lin had examined their brains, she was quite familiar with their personalities. Although they weren't a division of labor, they were very united.
They had a unified mindset, but they didn't choose to fight. Instead, they used other methods to obtain resources from other creatures.
At the same time, they also had a lot of characteristics. For example, they didn't care about the death of their own. Although they would try their best to protect the living, they wouldn't feel sad for their dead companions. They also wouldn't become enemies with the mechanical spiders just because they killed a few xenogeneics. As long as they thought it was profitable, they would still agree to a trade.
While she was thinking, Lin had already floated with them to a very large rock.
The rock was a dozen kilometers in diameter. There were many holes on its surface, and Lin was now in front of a hole that was about six meters wide.
"Only one can go in. The one with the item. The rest stay where you are. Don't move. "
After the xenogeneics expressed their agreement, Lin didn't say anything. She just let the mechanical spider with the silver thread enter the hole. The other spiders stayed outside. At the same time, most of the xenogeneics stayed outside the hole. They seemed to be guarding it. Only the two mechanical spiders that followed Lin floated in.
After entering the cave, Lin noticed that it was just an ordinary cave. There was nothing special about it, but occasionally, she saw a xenogeneic lying motionless on the ground.
But as they went deeper into the cave, the tunnels became wider and wider. More and more xenogeneics appeared, but they all seemed to be in a daze. They didn't move or say anything.
After floating for about three hundred seconds, Lin and the two xenogeneics stopped because a room appeared on the right side of the cliff.
"The data is stored here. There was a lot of information. You can admire it, but you can't take it away. "
This was also one of the contents of the deal between Lin and them. Lin came here mainly to take a look at some of their historical records.
They did have something like that, and they agreed to show it to Lin. However, Lin made the deal with them because she convinced them that the mechanical spiders were not afraid of death.
If he acted like he was afraid of death, the xenogeneics would use threats to force the mechanical spider to act. They wouldn't agree to the trade.
After they knew that the mechanical spider was not afraid of death, they agreed to some conditions, and Lin was allowed to enter this room.
However, this was a room. Or rather, it was the insides of a creature.
The walls around her appeared to be made of bright red flesh that was constantly squirming. There were also many seedlings growing on the ground.
They looked like the seedlings that Lin saw on the Capturer's warship, plants that had just emerged from the ground. However, they were bright red in color.
According to the xenogeneics, they recorded everything that happened in the past and stored it inside these seedlings.
However, they didn't provide a way to 'view' them, so Lin had to find a way to view the information stored inside them.
Lin had many ways to view them, and with just a bit of contact, Lin could tell that the information was stored using a brain-like structure. But Lin felt that this was very strange, because the mechanical spider still had silver threads on its body. Did they not care if the silver threads touched the seedlings?
"Take that out! Hurry up and take it out! "
While Lin was thinking that, the two xenogeneics suddenly flew in and spoke with a nervous tone: "Hurry up and put that thing down!"
Lin knew that they were talking about the silver threads, so Lin had the mechanical spider open its abdomen and used its hind legs to take out the silver threads inside a small transparent box.
"Don't bring that thing near me! Back off, or I'll attack! "
As Lin approached them, they began to 'scream' in fear and quickly backed away. Seeing them like that, Lin felt that it was quite interesting, but she still asked them: "Then where do you want it?"
"Put it here! Yes! Don't do anything unnecessary! "
While the two xenogeneics were talking, Lin noticed a crack on one of the xenogeneics' meaty body and a piece of flesh was squeezing out from the crack.
A small piece of meat slowly floated to the ground. Lin placed the silver box on top of it, and the small piece of meat began to move. It slowly wrapped up the box, and when it was done, the other xenogeneic floated over. A large number of worm-like creatures crawled out of its body. The creatures were like tentacles, and they curled up the piece of meat on the ground and brought it to the xenogeneic's side.
"The first deal is done. You have proven that you are repentant. Give me the silver thread as an apology. Your record for violating the Void Law will be revoked. We will continue to work together from now on. "
After saying a bunch of useless things, the two xenogeneics floated out of the room.
After watching them fly away for a second, Lin continued to examine the saplings on the ground. The information stored inside was very interesting.
The information stored inside the saplings wasn't something that was normally recorded by an individual, but rather stored memories.
These seedlings were not separated. They were a whole, and could be said to be a very large organ used to store memories.
It seemed like every xenogeneic would put a part of their memories into this organ every once in a while, and a large number of memories would be gathered in this place.
Then, this organ would organize these memories. At first, a large number of memories were mixed together, so there was no way to express them clearly. Therefore, the organ would adjust these memories, and in the end, all the memories would be combined to form a single memory.
Although this memory had a lot of content, it 'looked' like the memory of a single creature.
This was only Lin's speculation, because Lin's mechanical spider didn't have the ability to examine this organ. However, when she sensed that it was displaying memories, Lin believed that it had combined the memories of all the xenogeneics together.
Using the same cube that read the Void Bus, she could examine the memories inside.
At first, she could see some 'self-introductions' about the xenogeneics.
Here, they said that they were a group of 'peace-loving' creatures that lived in this vast, floating place with rocks.
Their territory, or rather, 'home', was widely distributed among these rocky areas. In the memory, Lin could see the cities where they lived.
Their cities might have made Atlan feel uncomfortable because most of the cities weren't caves, but almost all of them were like this room, an 'internal' environment.
In other words, their floors and walls looked like they were made of flesh. Although they weren't flesh, they were very similar. All the xenogeneics gathered in this environment.
There weren't that many of them. Based on this memory, there should be about a few tens of thousands of them, just like Atlan.
In the memory, the xenogeneics said that they were very good at researching all kinds of things, such as combining weapons.
The spherical weapon they used was a very sophisticated weapon, capable of shooting high explosives and high-temperature rays. Other than that, they could also create many other things.
However, almost everything they created was' soft ', there weren't any hard objects like mechanical metals, they were all made of flesh.
In the memory, they kept showing how powerful these things were. After displaying their weapons, they began to display information about 'resources'.
Some of the floating stones were very large storage rooms, which stored a large amount of materials, and these materials could all be traded.
Seems like that was the case.
The memory inside wasn't a record of their history, but rather something that they used to advertise, like an 'advertisement'.
They mainly wanted to show how powerful they were and that they had a lot of resources to trade.
However, Lin had already noticed that the memories stored inside this seedling weren't limited to this, these 'advertisements' were just the surface.
There was even more content stored in it. How would he be able to see all this content?
Perhaps she should use this thing, she didn't know what kind of effect it would have.
With that in mind, Lin had the mechanical spider extend a silver thread from the sharp end of the detector.
