Chapter 946

In the corner of the screen, there is a white planet, quietly rotating on its axis.

The biological spaceship seemed to have found its target; the tentacles on its body surface wriggled and stretched, completing a turn by relying on the conservation of angular momentum, and headed toward that planet.

……

"At first glance at the text description, I felt this biological warship was extraordinary... After seeing the actual footage, I feel this thing is even more absurd; it has an aesthetic that belongs to neither organic nor inorganic life."

"Before seeing this warship, I couldn't understand what 'considering only practicality without considering aesthetics' meant. But now I understand, and I know what a product designed with this philosophy pushed to the extreme would look like... Thanks to my mentors and the many predecessors for not killing me."

"It has to be you guys, to be able to say such a long string of words about this biological spaceship being ugly."

……

Jarilo-VI, outside Belobog.

The construction site is a scene of bustling activity.

Small shuttles rented from the Foundation spewed flames and slowly ascended, lifting prefabricated parts and transferring them to the planned site.

The operator standing on the side held the joystick, pushing it bit by bit to control the angle and speed.

Only after the steel cables on the prefabricated parts were unhooked did he breathe a sigh of relief, and then continued to repeat the process.

And behind the mountains not far away, a "Creation Engine" stood proudly on the earth; on its shoulders stood Bronya and Seele side by side.

Looking down from here, one could already see the rough outline of the future industrial zone.

The people involved in the construction also noticed the changes in recent days; the difficulty now is no longer solved by just putting in effort, but by focusing on precision and patience.

Some people received systematic training during their breaks, and after mastering new skills, they began to operate the technological products supported by the Foundation, such as various unmanned equipment, lathes, and a whole bunch of other devices...

"If I had told myself a year ago:"

"In the future Belobog, there will be no more raging 'Eternal Freeze', and no more division between the Upper and Lower Districts;"

"Everyone will build their homes under the warm sunshine, going to work at sunrise and leaving while singing at sunset."

"Then I definitely wouldn't have believed it," Seele said with her hands on her hips, feeling emotional.

"Would you have said he was daydreaming?" Bronya laughed.

"Maybe I would have even fought him," Seele added.

Bronya shook her head with a smile and said nothing more, instead looking up at the light screen in the sky.

The frozen planet in the footage pulled her thoughts back to the not-so-distant past, when Jarilo-VI was still ruled by the "Eternal Freeze."

On that ice ball in the distant space-time, is it human civilization? Or some other alien race?

In such an environment, are they still alive?

【"001-Seek" Exploration Report-39】

【Record Time: December 02, 3156】

【Planetary Status:】

【A frozen planet was discovered in the habitable zone of the MIDV-183 star system.】

【A large number of artificial satellites and wreckage were found in the planet's orbit; all communication attempts received no response.】

【It is speculated that before the Ice Age, the planet's environment was similar to Earth, with oceans, and the landmasses were primarily northern continents, with the rest being islands and atolls.】

【The northern landmass was the area with the densest traces of civilization.】

【Actions Taken:】

【1. Established an orbital outpost;】

【2. Dispatched drones for archaeological investigation.】

【Civilization Status:】

【No conscious life discovered.】

【All settlements have been abandoned, and the main structures of the buildings are conical.】

【A large number of damaged spaceships were found, and the ruins of a launch site were discovered.】

【According to radioactive isotope analysis, this civilization was determined to have been destroyed one thousand years ago.】

【Related Findings:】

【Several artistic images depicting spherical life forms, speculated to be the indigenous species annihilated by "SCP-001".】

【Hundreds of spherical objects were found under a huge cliff on the northern continent, speculated to be a mass suicide site for the indigenous species.】

【Hundreds of brick-shaped objects were found in the ruins of the civilization; investigation and analysis revealed them to be data storage facilities left behind by the civilization.】

【After data recovery and reading, it was discovered that the civilization had various contradictory theories regarding the "Annihilation Event."】

【Final Ruling:】

【No usable information.】

【Confirmed influence of "SCP-001".】

……

【"001-Seek" Exploration Report-202】

【Record Time: January 10, 3499】

【Planetary Status:】

【A volcanic planet was discovered in the habitable zone of the STARS-435 star system.】

【A large number of artificial satellites and wreckage were found in the planet's orbit; all communication attempts received no response.】

【The planet has frequent volcanic activity, with many active volcanoes visible on the surface; small habitable areas were found at the poles.】

【Traces of civilization were found in the deep pits of the aforementioned habitable areas.】

【Actions Taken:】

【1. Established an orbital outpost;】

【2. Drones performed self-modification to withstand the harsh environment;】

【3. Dispatched drones for archaeological investigation.】

【Civilization Status:】

【No conscious life discovered.】

【All buildings have been abandoned; the architectural ruins are huge black cylinders, each thousands of meters high.】

【Investigation indicates that these buildings were residential areas, capable of accommodating millions of units of that civilization.】

【No traces of the civilization attempting to evacuate were found.】

【According to radioactive isotope analysis, this civilization was determined to have been destroyed one hundred years ago.】

【Related Findings:】

【Four-legged entity sculptures were found inside the buildings, with curved pincers on each leg; speculated to be the planet's indigenous species.】

【The language used by the civilization was found inside the buildings; the residents of the civilization accepted predestined events as a whole.】

【Subsequent translation indicates that this was a top-down order, requiring all individuals of the civilization to stay at home and wait for the "howling to arrive."】

【Living organisms were found inside the buildings; the species resembles ants with armor.】

【Upon inspection, it was found that this species does not yet have individuals with autonomous consciousness; they only act on biological instinct.】

【By translating more remaining materials, it was determined that before the planet's civilization was destroyed, this species was an endangered species.】

【Final Ruling:】

【Confirmed that "SCP-001" does not target unconscious life.】

【The "bat" population on the planet has spread to completely occupy the ruins of the civilization.】

【Communication from Earth】

【Communication Content:】

【Following a collective annihilation event, the Overseer Council has been temporarily dissolved, and the highest authority of the Foundation has been transferred to the Administrator; all matters are to be handled according to the Administrator's arrangements.】

【"001-Seek" management authority transferred to the Administrator.】 ===== CHAPTER 948 =====
