Everyone watched silently as the huge warship slowly flew over their heads. The ship struggled for a while like a drowning person, then …
Just like that, he fell head first.
"… … …"
Looking at the thick black smoke rising from afar, Fangzheng silently swept a glance at the chief petty officer. He pulled Iona and took two steps back. He was now more and more convinced that the main character was Fated Ship. Look, this ship had just arrived, and it had only exchanged a few blows with the chief petty officer before it fell off.
"… … …"
The Master Sergeant didn't know if he understood the meaning in Fangzheng's eyes, but he just coughed and acted as if nothing had happened.
"Cortana, confirm the position of the Infinity."
"Understood, Master Sergeant. The Infinity has crashed 77 miles away from us."
"That's it then."
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng hurriedly interjected.
"Since your reinforcements have arrived, we'll take our leave now. I still have to take the girls on a tour here. Let's keep in touch if there's anything else. Have a safe trip."
After saying that, Fangzheng waved his hand at the Chief Petty Officer, then hurriedly activated the teleportation portal and ran away …. The Chief Petty Officer's' restraining ability against ships' was too strong. Fangzheng did not dare to let Iona stay in front of the Chief Petty Officer any longer. Otherwise, something might happen.
"… … …"
Looking at Fangzheng and the others who disappeared in an instant, the Master Sergeant was silent for a moment, then picked up his weapon and walked towards the place where the Infinity crashed. At the same time, Cortana's voice rang in the Master Sergeant's ear again.
"Is it really good to let them leave?"
"They are not our enemies."
The Master Sergeant gave an affirmative answer.
"Our enemies are the Forerunners."
After saying that, the Master Sergeant asked a question in return.
"Do you really want that?"
"Huh?"
Cortana was stunned when she heard the Master Sergeant's question.
"Master Sergeant, what are you talking about … …"
"Your lifespan."
The chief sergeant spoke again. Previously, during the gap in the battle, the chief sergeant had already learned that Cortana had served for eight years. However, the lifespan of a typical artificial intelligence was only seven years. In fact, Cortana was already considered "overage". Because of this, Cortana's body had already malfunctioned. If it was not repaired, it would be over sooner or later.
Initially, the chief sergeant planned to bring Cortana back to her creator, Dr. Halsey, to repair her. However, it seemed that although Fangzheng's group was of unknown origin, they were indeed very powerful. Not only that, even Cortana said that they had the technology to bypass his defense easily. This meant that there was a high chance that they could really repair Cortana.
"…"
This time, Cortana did not speak. Obviously, she was also very hesitant about this. After all, Cortana was created by Dr. Halsey, so she knew very well what Dr. Halsey was capable of. Although the Chief Sergeant said that she could fix Dr. Halsey once they found her, Cortana knew that it was almost impossible.
But this group of unknown people who had suddenly appeared …
"… I'm sorry, let me think about it."
In the end, Cortana just gave such a leisurely answer.
Fangzheng did not know about the love and hate that the protagonists were having. He had already returned to Nimf's side with Iona and Charmander. The little angel was currently busy collecting and downloading all the technological information of the Forerunners through the Forerunners' terminal and analyzing it.
According to the information collected by the little angel, the Forerunners were very powerful in various aspects such as space, energy, information manipulation, biological genetics and so on. They had superb spatial fault construction technology and the power to perfectly replicate living creatures through genetic coding. At the same time, these Forerunners could also create a kind of artificial intelligence called "Wisdom Servant" through biological templates for their use.
It could be said that the power of the Forerunners was a very powerful existence even in the worlds that Fangzheng had experienced. Fangzheng made a rough calculation. If he wanted to fight the Forerunners, he would have to transform into the Star Forging Drake. Otherwise, the Sea Mist Warship alone would probably end in a draw … Of course, this was the most optimistic situation.
In addition, Nimf also found a grading system for civilization technology in the Forerunners' database.
The Forerunners divided the civilizations in the universe into eight levels. The lowest level, the seventh, was the agro-pastoral civilization. The creatures in this level were small, had a certain level of intelligence, and relied on hunting, herding and farming for food. The technological threat was quite limited, and all weapons and props were handmade.
The sixth level was considered to have entered the industrial period and had a large number of mechanical abilities. Just like the first industrial revolution, the whole civilization would have a great development in this stage.
The ability to use nuclear energy was a sign of reaching the fifth level … In fact, according to the classification of the Forerunners, the Earth before Fangzheng transmigrated was a fifth level civilization.
As for the fourth level civilizations, they were civilizations that had broken through the gravity of their own planet and could establish colonies on other planets. Civilizations that could fly within a star system could be regarded as existences of this level.
Interstellar warp engines were the sign of entering the third level of civilization. Civilizations at this level already had the power to wage a "Star Wars" level war. They would not be bound to their own star system, but could travel and fight across star systems. This was also the symbolic characteristic of a third level civilization.
A second level civilization could already perform precise space jumps, and also had interstellar instant communication technology and powerful individual firepower. Fangzheng made a rough calculation. According to the classification of the Forerunners, the warships in his hands belonged to the third level before they fused with the Sea Mist Core. After they fused with the Sea Mist Core, they could be regarded as a second level civilization.
A first level civilization could master gravity techniques, create fully sentient AI, produce ultra-dense materials, create new life forms, and even a whole new world and planet. The Forerunners themselves belonged to this level.
Above this was the highest level, the zero level civilization. But regarding the technology of this level of civilization, Fangzheng did not find enough information. In the database of the Forerunners, it simply stated that the Forerunners were the existence of the highest level of civilization. As for what kind of power the Forerunners possessed, Fangzheng could not imagine.
But Fangzheng found that the classification of the Forerunners was not entirely accurate. According to the classification system of the Forerunners, the civilizations of the Origin World were in a mess.
On one hand, many places in the Origin World were still at the lowest level of the seventh level, or at most, the Magitek Industrial Revolution that had just entered the sixth level.
But on the other hand, the most powerful force in the Origin World was the ability to control space, time, and even the existence of energy at will …. Even the Forerunners could not do this. Whether the Forerunners could do it, Fangzheng was not sure.
At least for now, no matter how powerful the Forerunners were, they could not resist the Time Dragon's Banishing Breath and First Flame. If not for the instinctive protection of the source of the world, Fangzheng would have dipped the Forerunner steak into sauce long ago.
But even so, the technology of the Forerunners still made Fangzheng drool. Whether it was their interstellar space construction technology or their "hard light" technology, or even the various advanced warships and weapons of the Forerunners, Fangzheng could not bear to part with them.
Mine! Mine! All of them are mine!!
If Fangzheng did not have a little bit of rationality and knew that the current level of technology in the Tendo Temple was not enough to completely digest the hard bones of the Forerunners and completely digest their knowledge and skills, he would have been rolling on the ruins of the Forerunners by now.
Thinking about it, the technology of the Forerunners was actually just a small part of what they had excavated from the ruins and wreckage of the Forerunners. Then, how powerful would the Forerunners, who were at the highest level of civilization, be?
Thinking of this, Fangzheng's eyes lit up.
This world ….. really did not come in vain!!
