Judging from the external characteristics and energy fluctuations, Hao Ren had already determined that this crystal was the same as the one on Asurmen's hull. But the technology of the Denizens of the Stars was too weird, and no one dared to make such a conclusion. So, they had to wait for Asurmen's "people" to see the crystal before they could make a final conclusion.
Eva, on the other hand, did not understand the reaction of Hao Ren and the rest after seeing the crystal. She looked a little confused, thinking that her gift was not welcomed. She rushed up to Hao Ren and asked, "You don't like the gift?"
Hao Ren was startled for a moment before he quickly waved his hand. "Of course not, of course not. Your gift is perfect. This thing is of great value to me! You've been a great help! "
"Help?" Eva shook her seawater body and suddenly let out a cheerful voice. "Oh! Help!"
"She's probably happy to help you." Wuyue giggled as she looked at the scene. Suddenly, she rolled up a ball of water with her tail and flung it at Hao Ren. "Say, Eva seems to like you, Mr. Landlord."
"She's close to everyone." Hao Ren easily dodged Wuyue's attack and turned to look at the crystal that was still being held up by the seawater. "Well, let's change the itinerary a little. I'll bring this thing to Asurmen for identification, and you guys discuss who will stay behind to look after the 'tour group.' If all goes well, I'll be back in a day. "
"Let's both stay behind," Wuyue said before anyone could say anything. She pulled her brother along. "Io is my hometown. It's convenient for me to communicate with Eva here. My brother is a demon hunter, and almost one-third of the 'tour group' is demon hunters. It'll be easier for my brother to stay behind and talk to them."
"Then I'll leave it to you two." Hao Ren nodded. "It should be fine. If those guys really fight, you can ask Hasse and Hesperides for help. They're enough to keep the others under control. But I don't think the chances of those guys fighting each other are high. "
Katreina chimed in with a smile. "Don't worry, I don't think they'll fight either — this is the Star of the Ocean, the home of the sirens. I don't think anyone can stop me in the water."
The Siren Queen's speech was so majestic that Hao Ren glanced at Nangong Wuyue. "Look at the Queen's imposing manner. You should learn from her. Don't be a coward all day …"
Wuyue: "..."
This sudden episode slightly disrupted Hao Ren's plan, but the "Sunset Glow Homecoming Family Visit Group" was scheduled to arrive in Io for two days, so he still had some time to spare. After leaving the 100 people in the care of the Nangong siblings, Hao Ren boarded the Petrachelys and returned to the Crapple Research Station in the orbit of Tannagost with the Sacred White Crystal that Eva gave him.
Since the battle of Collow, the Asurmen had been docked near the Crapple Research Station. This ancient spaceship of the Denizens of the Stars had seriously aged and malfunctioned, so it had been repairing itself with the facilities of the Crapple Research Station. Now, the repair was nearing completion. But according to Asurmen's wishes, even after the repair was completed, it would stay there until the whereabouts of the goddess of creation or the threat of the Mad Lord was found.
The crystal was quickly sent to the Asurmen.
"Well, yes, this is indeed a creation of my race, but I'm not sure if it is part of the spaceship." In the hall of the Will Hub, Asurmen carefully observed the crystal that Hao Ren brought. Its voice echoed in the hall like a wind chime. "There is an 80% chance that it is. Since it fell from outer space, the possibility of it being a spaceship fragment is high."
Hao Ren's expression became serious. "So, there was indeed a starship of the Denizens of the Stars passing by Io hundreds of years ago, and it most likely fought with something near the planet's orbit … Otherwise, such a large fragment would not have fallen."
"Are there no more fragments?" Asurmen's voice had a rare sense of urgency.
Hao Ren shook his head. "Only this one. After all, hundreds of years have passed, and the location of the battle is uncertain. Maybe only one fragment was captured by Io's gravity, and the rest had probably flown into the vast universe. By the way, can you analyze anything from this fragment? Can you identify the model or serial number of the spaceship? "
Hao Ren asked out of disappointment, and he did not hold much hope. He did not expect Asurmen to answer after a short moment of thought. "I can try. I can feel that there are still fragments of thought left on this fragment, but these fragments have seriously dissipated, so I can't guarantee that I can give you an answer."
Hao Ren was stunned. "There are fragments of thought left on a spaceship fragment? What kind of technology is this? "
Asurmen in the crystal made a pleasant vibrating sound, and translucent lines diffused from the crystal, forming various complex shapes in the air. "Do you know how this spaceship was built?"
Hao Ren had never thought about this before. "Err … Is there something special about the way you build spaceships?"
"Every spaceship is a Denizen of the Stars," Asurmen's voice was soft and gentle, like music. "We have no blueprints or factories. All our knowledge is stored directly in our energy nodes and engraved in the depths of our souls. When we need to build something, we will go close to a star and vibrate from our souls. Through a specific magnifying device, which is the crystal I'm in, these soul vibrations will spread into a mental skeleton. This mental skeleton is our 'industrial blueprint' and 'construction framework.' Then, we will absorb matter and energy from the star and condense them on the mental skeleton. Finally, we will form various things, such as this spaceship. "
Hao Ren was deeply shocked by this magical technology. "It's... incredible..."
"Compared to the information-matter conversion technology used in your space station, our technology is not that magical," Asurmen's crystal flashed. "I still don't understand how you created those substances out of thin air."
"In fact, I don't know either. This entire space station was directly assigned by the higher-ups." Hao Ren shrugged. "In short, according to what you said, this spaceship, Asurmen, is actually your soul that spread out?"
"It uses my mental power as the skeleton and the matter and energy of the star to fill it," Asurmen corrected seriously. "More than 90% of the structure of this spaceship is built on this foundation. The mental skeleton is the technological foundation of the Denizens of the Stars."
Hao Ren pointed to the crystal fragment not far away. "So this crystal …"
"It still contains the mental power of the creator, or rather, a set of codes. This set of codes is unique," Asurmen replied. "But the information contained in this crystal is too little. I need at least ten days to restore it to something valuable, and there's no guarantee of success."
"So it takes that long..." Hao Ren frowned. But hope was better than nothing. At this time, he suddenly remembered something. "Do you have to make things near a star?"
"Yes, and not all stars can do it. The ones that meet the requirements are usually middle-aged 'healthy' stars. They contain the most complete sequence of matter in the universe, and they are full of energy and easy to extract."
"So when the guardian giants occasionally saw you, you were 'sunbathing' around the star?" Hao Ren was quite interested. "You were extracting matter and energy from the star?"
"I was already the gatekeeper of Collow during the era when the guardian giants were active, so I don't know what you are talking about, but it should be like that. Of course, this was after the goddess of creation defeated the Mad Lord. In ancient times, we did not have this luxury. At that time, the Denizens of the Stars followed the goddess of creation to war, and we drained thousands of stars to build an army. Our greatest flagship, the Solar Throne, was tempered from an entire star. It was so huge that we had to fuse a hundred warriors to complete the laying of the mental power skeleton. The glorious era had passed, and the powerful Solar Throne had eventually crashed in the Tide of Darkness of the Mad Lord. I don't know how many soul warships like me are still alive in this universe. "
Although it was just a few words, Hao Ren was still deeply shocked by the epic ancient era that Asurmen spoke of. Hearing that even the Solar Throne, a starship tempered from an entire star, had crashed under the power of the Mad Lord, he deeply realized how much the goddess of creation had paid to defeat that terrible enemy. It was a war far beyond the imagination of mortals.
"Leave this crystal. I will complete the analysis as soon as possible and tell you the conclusion. Maybe it can also help me contact other people who are still alive in the universe." Asurmen's voice echoed in the hall, interrupting Hao Ren's reverie. "I need to sleep now to adjust my soul frequency."
"Then I won't bother you anymore." Hao Ren came back to his senses and nodded. "I'll wait for your good news."
