"In other words, you created these things to avoid a huge disaster?"
"Yes, that's right …"
This was a … room filled with bone machines, and Lin was chatting with the creator of this pile of bones.
It was an ordinary … resident of Ershi. It seemed to be in a similar situation to the Voidfolk. It had entered this place by chance.
To be precise, its … ancestors had entered this place by chance and had been living here since then. It was the descendant of those ancestors.
Although there was no food in this place, there were some … devices that could make food. They mainly relied on those devices to survive. It seemed that they had lived here for a long time, but because of the limited number of devices, their numbers had not increased.
This was indeed the same as the Voidfolk. The difference was that there were no creator simulation devices here, so they were not forced to play any role. Instead, they were living a free and ordinary life.
It was said that all kinds of entertainment products could be found here, so life here was very fulfilling. There was no need to do any work, and this leisurely life had lasted until now before problems arose.
It said that there had been some strange phenomena here recently, such as … earthquakes.
Originally, to them, earthquakes were just a legendary phenomenon in entertainment movies. There had never been earthquakes in this place.
However, this phenomenon had happened recently, and it was happening very frequently. They began to quickly find a solution, and many residents thought that they should leave this place.
This was just a floating debris. To them, it was a very big … island, but this was not the only one.
There were other floating debris. Those places were also quite big, and there were cities or something. There must be something living there, so most of the residents here left.
It and some residents did not leave. It thought that it had found a way to avoid earthquakes or bigger situations, and that was … to create these bone machines.
Why was avoiding earthquakes related to creating bone machines? If one thought about it carefully, it did not seem to be related, but it believed that it was related.
This was … what it first learned from its dreams. It kept dreaming that it would create these bones, and after it created them, the earthquake that was supposed to happen would not happen, and everything would return to normal.
Because this dream was very realistic, and after it woke up, it had a strong desire to create bone machines, so it … began to create them.
This kind of manufacturing behavior was out of control. It made a lot because it liked to assemble all kinds of small machines, so this kind of work was not very difficult for it.
However, it had never made a two-legged machine before, so the ones it made now could not stand up. But it did not matter, because … according to the information in the dream, the bones it made could move. It did not need to be able to stand up.
"Do you think these things can really prevent earthquakes?"
"That's for sure! I have a strong premonition that my plan will succeed! "
Although creatures with this level of intelligence could easily imagine the connections between things, they still liked to follow their 'feelings'.
Lin then introduced herself to it … that is, the pompom, a mechanical creation of an alien species that had entered this place to explore.
It seemed to be doubtful, but it also believed that the pompom was not a threat to it, so it agreed to take the pompom to visit their stronghold.
There were still some residents left in this stronghold. These residents did not want to leave, not because they did not want to escape from the earthquake, but because they thought that there would be earthquakes elsewhere, so they might as well stay here.
However, it did not plan to go back just yet. It planned to finish the last of the machines here, then sleep before going back.
Lin also stayed here to accompany it. After it fell asleep, Lin tried to examine its … brain.
It was as Lin thought, the brain of this Ershi resident had received some kind of … signal, and this signal gave it … a strong desire to create skeletal machines.
It also told it that the skeletal machines could prevent some disasters that were about to happen.
This was indeed true. After it created some skeletal machines, there were no more earthquakes here.
Originally, the earthquake would happen every two to three pompom days and nights. Although it did not shake anything, it was very scary.
Indeed, it was not wrong for the Ershi resident to follow its instincts, because … this might have something to do with the fungus.
The fungus had created a large number of skeletons in the Voidfolk world, imitating the movements of ordinary people. In fact, the reason for this action of theirs was not clear.
Although there were some guesses, such as the fungus wanting to imitate the Voidfolk, there was no concrete conclusion.
Now, Lin believed that … the fungus might have also received some kind of signal, and this signal told it to create a large number of skeletons in order to prevent some disasters.
Recently, something had indeed happened in the Voidfolk world where the fungus had appeared. Something similar to an earthquake had occurred there.
This earthquake was special … it would pick a place, and it would only occur in places where there were no skeletons.
The location where the fungus created a large number of skeletons did not experience any earthquakes at all.
This was very interesting … it seemed that these skeletons really were useful. But … why skeletons? Did skeletons have some kind of special … effect?
But at least the earthquake department could confirm that this was the cause of the hidden construction site.
The shift of the construction site would cause some effects to the surrounding normal void. Phenomena similar to earthquakes were the most common, and … there were even stranger phenomena, such as a sudden appearance of a huge whirlpool in the sky, or a crack in some place.
Why were skeletons able to prevent these phenomena? This was the strangest part, because the skeletons they created did not have any special characteristics, they were simply … skeletons.
Lin asked the spirit sprite about this, but the spirit sprite also said that it did not know anything about this.
It only told Lin that the solidified space would have a special reaction when it came into contact with some of the space's material.
This reaction included things like sudden disappearance, but …
There was still no way to explain the skeletons, so Lin decided to test this out herself. She would create some skeletons herself, and have them come into contact with some of the solidified space's material to obtain the answer.
