Chapter 359: Experimental Report from the Previous Era

Why do you think I would help you?

Help you become strong, then turn around and deal with me?

Yunxiao looked at Weiniya, somewhat puzzled, and asked.

She wasn't very familiar with Weiniya and Yu Xiaomo, only knowing of their existence, and had never interacted with them.

But now this big headlight called Weiniya suddenly found her, opening with a request to hire her research intelligent machinery here, naming any price, appearing not short of money.

This made Yunxiao very dissatisfied, staring at her headlight that was one size larger than her own, and Yunxiao asked that very question.

"I... I can help you deal with Lin Ran!"

"Snort...."

Yunxiao snorted, shifted her gaze away from the headlight, then proudly said.

"Even without you, I can handle that hot-headed guy; I will definitely win."

"On the contrary, if I helped you and you then turned to follow Lin Ran against me, wouldn't I be a big sucker?"

Yunxiao's words were not without reason, leaving Weiniya speechless, but she still had no intention of giving up just like that.

"Really no room at all? I can offer a lot of money...."

"Do you think I look like I'm short on money?"

Also true, the biggest obstacle to resource acquisition in this world is catastrophe, and the civilization led by Yunxiao not only possesses powerful intelligent machinery, but also has iron drivers capable of commanding those machines.

In just over two months, she had already made a name in the Star Sea, and was steadily becoming a core force of the Star Sea Order Faction; those powerful machines shocked everyone.

And Weiniya naturally learned of this, so she came here to borrow people from Yunxiao, to help research the combination of her martial way and machinery.

However, looking at it now, the plan is very likely to fall through.

"Alright, then sorry for the disturbance."

Weiniya left somewhat disappointed; she wasn't trying to deal with anyone, it's just that she always ends up unable to do anything, which makes her feel awful.

Coming from a small planet, she only spent a few hundred years to reach this level of strength, which is already quite difficult.

Time is a resource, and also a weathering field that wears everything down; Yunxiao and Lin Ran have both wandered through the sea of time, perhaps giving her another few hundred years, she too could possess such great power.

Weiniya left disappointed, but for some reason Yunxiao suddenly spoke up to call her back.

"Wait! I'm willing to lend you people."

"!!!"

Weiniya: "Really?"

"Really."

Yunxiao nodded; she had her own considerations.

"Why?"

Weiniya was somewhat puzzled; by common sense, Yunxiao should have no reason to help her.

Gazing at Weiniya's puzzled look, Yunxiao gave a sly smile and said somewhat wickedly.

"It's not out of pity for you; I just want to add a bit of trouble for that guy Lin Ran."

"Aren't you afraid I'll turn around and deal with you?"

Weiniya was somewhat doubtful, but what greeted her was Yunxiao's disdainful laugh; at this moment Yunxiao's arrogance took concrete form.

"Even if the two of you combined, I could still deal with you."

"If you betray, what then?"

One sentence left Xiaoanchun silent; she secretly puffed her cheeks, feeling a bit resentful, but still thanked Yunxiao.

"No matter what, thank you...."

"You're welcome~"

Yunxiao was very generous; she immediately selected a few intelligent machines to hand over to Weiniya, and summoned three technicians to maintain those machines and assist Weiniya's research, thorough to the point that Weiniya felt a bit embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jie kept querying the era's history in the Star Sea Hall.

Because the keywords were too few, the search was laborious, but fortunately Zhang Jie wasn't searching alone, and the Star Sea Hall's AI index was convenient, so the screening speed was fast.

"Found it!"

Zhang Jie's eyes lit up; he was certain that the era's history before him was exactly what he had experienced last time.

"Eleventh Era (pre-era), Los Life Civilization Company conducted a gu experiment concerning civilization and catastrophe, with a total of 26 planetary test fields, and released five civilizations for separate experiments."

"Each test field had three weakened major Star Sea catastrophes, plus two man-made catastrophes they themselves created, and the experiment was called 'Ascendants'."

"That's it."

It seems only spanning a single era, but that is an extremely ancient age.

You know, searching up to now, even with AI assistance, it's already been a full five hours!

Just the three words "Ascendants" can retrieve a huge amount of content; moreover, for such vast history, no matter how powerful the AI now, it cannot perfectly retrieve from such massive data.

Moreover, each era's quantum database is separated; the data being too large is exactly this hassle.

However, after several people kept searching, we finally found it.

"Everyone, I found it."

Zhang Jie suddenly spoke up, drawing several people's attention; out of curiosity, they all gathered to examine this history.

As an interstellar historian, the weight of history is unimaginable; even if a historian devoted their whole life, they might not fully research a stellar era's history, so the history Zhang Jie sought is also what they wanted to see.

"Below is the statement made by the Chief Executive Officer of Los Life Civilization Company...."

"The 'Ascendants' experiment lasted over seven hundred years; among them, the same civilization species in four test fields were completely wiped out within the first hundred years, fully proving the species' inherent flaws, so we will no longer consider conducting any experiments on that species."

"Afterward, around 400 years later, ten civilizations successively ended their experiments; among them, those that triumphed over catastrophe and those destroyed by catastrophe each accounted for 50%, once again confirming the truth of the Civilization Screening Theory."

"Now, among the remaining twelve test fields, many leader figures have emerged; we changed the experiment's direction, stabilizing the catastrophe's power at a level equal to civilization, allowing civilization to develop as we envisioned; I think this is the experiment I wanted to see, and also a perfect experiment conforming to the Cataclysm Resonance Theory."

It mentioned many terms that interested Zhang Jie: Civilization Screening Theory, Cataclysm Resonance Theory—what are these?

Looks like we need to get a good understanding.

The experimental statement report is still continuing.

"The experiment's progress is going smoothly; perhaps if we continue like this, we will be able to obtain the true results from these test sites."

"Or we could obtain a phoenix‑reborn civilization, or obtain that most terrifying thing, which is ■■."
