Pioneers had always been regarded as great and selfless.
But selfless was actually suspicious.
Because …
All the creatures that dared to doubt Pioneers didn't live for long.
Except … for this one, this centipede-like creature, it had somehow lived for a long time.
After its organization was destroyed by angry researchers, the centipede itself was killed and thrown into the void. Generally speaking, it must have died.
But later, after the empire was completely destroyed, it was' resurrected 'in some form … and that was the microbial community.
There were many microbial communities everywhere in the empire's territory. Suddenly, a large group of microbial communities … gathered in a place in a space station.
These microbes died not long after they gathered, but their dead bodies quickly hardened.
In the end, they formed a statue.
It was the huge … centipede statue that Lin saw in the center of the space station.
It was much larger than the centipede itself. The centipede itself was only ten meters long, but it was completely molded according to the original shape of the centipede.
This statue … was just a statue. Apart from the description of the statue at the bottom, there was no other information.
But this statue wasn't the only thing that the microbes synthesized. There were many … synthetic objects.
Most of them were in this space station. These synthetic objects generally looked like stones. Their exterior was very sturdy, and their interior contained a lot of … information.
This information was described in the language that the centipede used before, and it mentioned everything it had found before.
In other words, it was about the pioneers.
There was a reason why it didn't store information elsewhere, but used these microbes to store information.
Because if it stored information in other ways, it would be easily discovered by the researchers and then destroyed or sent away.
It had to wait for the researchers to die, but it couldn't live that long, so … it came up with this plan.
It could, to a certain extent, command the surrounding microbial communities … Although it couldn't directly control them, it could have a long-term effect on them.
The centipede could insert a small part of its microbes into other microbial communities.
This small part of microbes wouldn't be killed because the centipede could make them almost completely disguise themselves as the same species as the target.
Simply put, it was like stuffing a piece of meat into a cellular organism that wouldn't be discovered by the immune system.
Of course, the microbes that the centipede had stuffed in weren't just staying inside. They were also continuously sending out … some 'pheromones'.
The 'pheromones' emitted by these microbes would slowly influence the behavior of the entire microbe community.
Initially, the effect was very small, and it only caused the group to be slightly stunned.
But slowly, the pheromones could control the group to do more actions, such as making them change their direction, do certain things, eat certain things, and even … commit suicide.
When the pheromone could completely control a group, the group would be manipulated to eat some special substances and gather at a location to commit suicide.
The substance they ate would allow them to quickly harden after death. This was also the key to the formation of the statues.
Because the entire process of influence was relatively long, the microbes that had been influenced back then only formed statues and stones with information after the centipede had died … or even after the entire Empire had perished.
That was what the centipede thought at first because it knew that the researchers would commit suicide after destroying the entire empire.
Therefore, as long as the microbes synthesized the statue after that, it would not be destroyed.
The centipede thought that it was impossible for all the species in the Empire to die. There would always be some that survived, and they would be able to discover its information.
Although it wasn't clear if any species had survived in the end, Lin believed that its information had never been discovered.
Of course, Lin had discovered it now, but it was a long time later.
The centipede wasn't worried about being discovered by the pioneers because it had discovered their … characteristic.
The pioneers had the characteristic of 'must help'.
In other words, they couldn't do anything to harm the creatures that had been to the model of the desert, unless the creatures themselves wanted to.
Therefore, the pioneers couldn't destroy these statues. The only way they could do so was to destroy the statues through the microbes that were everywhere here.
However, these microbes had never been interested in the statues.
