Wanderers are creatures... kind of interesting.
After they enter the 'sleepwalking' state and wander around, they will be affected by the thinking of the surrounding creatures. After Lin's research, they found that this process is very similar to entering a dream.
After these land creatures come into contact with the sleepwalking rover, they will enter the 'wanderer's dream', which is similar to the dream world constructed by Lin, except that the original rover's dream is a blank space with nothing.
After the first creature enters the dream, it will form a suitable environment according to the creature's thinking, which is usually the environment that the creature likes, and the creatures that come later will use it as the basis for the creatures entering the dream. live in this environment.
The creatures who enter the dream state live not much different from their previous lives on the landmass, where they cooperate or fight, and continue what they have done in the past.
The difference is that these creatures do not live long, because they enter the dream state also means that they cannot eat, and their bodies will slowly die.
During this time, the wanderer will continue to drift until the last creature to enter the dream dies.
When these creatures all die, the rover also ceases to function and falls apart.
That is to say, it becomes like the fragments that Lin saw in the first half of the shortcut, and the reason why the rover cracks like this seems to be because after these creatures die, its 'dream world' will also begin to collapse, and its body It will break apart like the collapse of the dream world.
The rovers at this time have not actually died completely, and their bodies will produce small 'meat chunks' that float and move on their own as Lynn had seen before, and these chunks of meat seem to be affected by certain This influence causes it to think of itself as a creature that lives there.
And the more large wanderers that Lin saw in the second half of the shortcut, all of them were individuals who were normally 'sleepwalking' here without being affected by other creatures.
As for this special pile of wanderer fragments at the exit of the shortcut... It was also affected by the creatures riding on it like other wanderers before, but one creature never died, and it has been a long time. Staying in its dreams, so long after they passed, they became a rather strange symbiosis.
In fact they were more like... fused together into a whole new kind of creature.
As brand new creatures, they mainly maintain their own life by capturing other land creatures and controlling them, but accidentally strayed into the 'shortcut', and then never captured any creatures, of course even so they It can also sustain life for a long time.
After researching the rover, Lin found that there are many problems that have not yet been understood, such as what exactly is this shortcut, what controls its operation, and why the space wall in the middle exists, and Why are those land masses constantly breeding life.
In short, all this seems to have nothing to do with the rovers, they just live here, the rovers themselves don't know much, such as the 'fusion creature' studied by Lin, they only know the ecology of the rovers themselves, right Little is known about the specifics of shortcuts.
Although Lin thinks the giant nebulae may know more things, their life forms are very different from the creatures known to Lin, and it will take a relatively long time to study them. At present, Lin only knows that they should be creatures from outside the shadow of the void. , I am interested in the environment here, so I started to capture and study various things here.
Now there seems to be another place to find the answer, and that is beyond the exit of the shortcut.
Lin has already let a battleship fly out of the shortcut exit. The battleship is more than 500 meters long. Lin is mainly designed according to some common battleships with unique personalities and biological civilizations. When this battleship flew out of the shortcut exit, Lin Found this... It seems that it is not much different from those Void shadow environments that I have been to before. It is a dark, Void-like environment.
Lin didn't find any land masses or any floating objects here. It was an open area, so Lin let the battleship continue to move forward and continued to investigate the surroundings.
The weird thing about this place is... it's so clean.
Because Lin has been to many places before, in general, no matter how empty the place is, there will always be some tiny debris floating in it, and Lin's current inspection of the surrounding finds that in addition to the debris brought in by Lin's battleship itself, the surrounding There are no crumbs.
Of course, there will also be debris floating over the opening of the shortcut, but they only exist around the opening of the cave for thousands of kilometers. If you go deeper, there will be nothing at all. This Lin feels very interesting.
And when the warship advanced a distance of more than 100,000 kilometers, Lin suddenly found a strong light around her, as if many stars suddenly appeared around, but they disappeared after a few seconds.
Nor did any stars appear, but something else.
Lin found that a stone block more than one kilometer in size suddenly appeared in front of more than 10,000 kilometers away from the battleship. It looked like a common floating stone, but it was covered with cracks, and the cracks were bright with bright light.
It rammed into the battleship at high speed, and the battleship quickly moved to one side to avoid it.
When the battleship avoided, Lin found that there were many similar stones in the distance. The moment they appeared, they flew here quickly, but they didn't come to the battleship. They seemed to want to fly to a shortcut. Entrance.
As the number of them increased, a huge crack opened in the space in the distance, and more stones flew out from it, and there were also strong rays of light released from it.
What's more amazing is that this phenomenon only lasted for dozens of seconds, and then all the flying stones and the strong light here disappeared, and everything returned to calm.
After a while, Lin found that there was another motivation around her, and a large number of huge objects began to appear around the battleship.
These objects are all objects of different shapes whose surfaces are covered with luminous patterns. They do not appear suddenly, but are assembled as a large number of fragments first appear and then condense together.
These objects formed quickly and quickly filled the surrounding space, which made the area that was empty not long ago look like the interior of a giant building, and Lin's battleship was also crowded between these rapidly generated objects. .
Then after more than ten seconds they disappeared again.
It seems that this is a rapidly changing space. Lin has seen a similar place before, but after a while, the surroundings began to change again.
The change this time caused a drastic change in the whole place, and at the same time, Lin suddenly felt... This seems to be a place to control shortcuts.
