Galaxy Domination Guide

Chapter 177 170 Mars Exploration (Part 2)

At this moment, within the Lingxiao Palace, Bai Zhongqi had invited Mo Laitong, Linyin, as well as Xu Lanzhou and Du Peng, among others, to watch the major discovery beneath the surface of Mars together.

Tens of Dragonfly Drones were meticulously conducting a comprehensive scan of the Sky-Piercing Pyramid; even they, who had seen many cosmic wonders, were astounded by this discovery.

Engraved on the side of the pyramid, like seals, were countless symbols. Upon seeing these symbols clearly, Linyin's expression changed dramatically, she exclaimed, "It's the script of the Elder Race!"

Bai Zhongqi was also extremely astonished. The term "Elder Race" was still relatively new to him, but he was clear enough about the force and history represented by these four words.

As the most numerous intelligent life in the Galaxy, if not the Universe, the Primate Clan or the Human Race is believed to generally originate from a distant ancestor, just as Earth's humankind is considered to have all descended from specific groups in Africa.

While the Primate Clan thrived and evolved on various planets across the Galaxy, becoming groups with the same genetic fragments but many different characteristics, the people of Iridium Star believed that this common distant ancestor that created countless primate humans, was the so-called Elder Race.

There is plenty of evidence in the cosmic archaeology of Iridium Star, both direct and indirect, that points to a Galaxy that has existed for over ten billion years, with two periods of civilization flourishing and two periods of decline, mirroring Earth's geological eras.

The Elder Race lived during the first prosperous period of civilization in the Galaxy, and were also recognized by the people of Iridium Star as the only civilization that once completely ruled the entire Galaxy (of course, the Galaxy wasn't as vast at that time).

The first prosperous period of civilization, also known as the Remote Ancient Universe by the people of Iridium Star, occurred approximately forty billion years after the birth of the Universe and likely represented the first wave of intelligent life to emerge. Iridium Star had no knowledge of how the Remote Ancient Universe fell.

He had considered this possibility, but the thought of a game he controlled connecting to a real universe was even more chilling than the scenario of fleets traversing in a game.

No one knew what Bai Zhongqi was thinking at this moment. Linyin's beautiful eyes were filled with light as she concentrated on the symbols on the Sky-Piercing Pyramid. She said, "The academic community has always been divided, believing that these symbols are not the script of the Elder Race at all, but a technology itself.

Each symbol represents a segment of information that could be countless zettabytes in size. Our scholars have spent three thousand years deciphering only about ten symbols through rough guessing. Several of the successfully decoded symbols have even advanced the technology of Iridium Star."

Mo Laitong's face was filled with solemnity as he said, "The two-stage Warp Engine we have successfully developed was obtained through the deciphering of the inherited symbols of the Elder Race. But in deciphering these things, we have been purely guessing.

If we guessed correctly and applied it somewhere, even if it was successful, we ourselves wouldn't know if that was the original intent of the Elder Race. Even though we use powerful computing and exhaustive methods, without the creative thinking and connection methods of personnel, we wouldn't achieve any results."

Linyin's beautiful eyes were full of excitement, and she even broke protocol somewhat by seizing Bai Zhongqi's arm as she excitedly said, "The United Empire had previously only acquired 131 symbols of the Elder Race, the majority of which were considered indecipherable. In three thousand years, we managed to decipher ten.

Your Majesty, and now we have discovered a gigantic pyramid hundreds of kilometers high, with inherited symbols on each level. Even if there are repeated ones, the value of just this Sky-Piercing Pyramid alone is immeasurable!"

Compared to Linyin's excitement, Bai Zhongqi appeared more composed. This gave the others a profound sense of his unfathomable nature.

Xu Lanzhou then said, "It seems that there is a significant connection between the First Universe and the Second Universe. Perhaps the Elder Race, like us, came from the First Universe to the Second. If we can obtain something useful here, it may help us return to the First Universe."

The Universe Army's valiant female Commander watched Bai Zhongqi's retreating back with bright eyes, her voice tinged with excitement as she said, "The entire United Empire will welcome the return of the Chancellor, Your Majesty!"
