Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 1100 - 554: The Language of Corpses

A hundred million timers, connected into a "line" a thousand light-years long.

Now this line has become the "track" for transmitting that mysterious force.

The timers tainted by that strange force had their time readings jump wildly.

Facing this situation, Su Yu watched coldly without taking any actions.

Very quickly, the mysterious force spread to the middle of the line, which was five hundred light-years away from Su Yu.

Su Yu was already prepared to abandon the battleship and escape.

Fortunately, after the force continued for another hundred light-years, it seemed to lose strength, halted, and then slowly retreated.

Su Yu sighed with relief, realizing that this force indeed couldn’t move far from the Oming River System.

His position should be safe.

This was to be expected.

If this strange force could move freely, it wouldn’t need to set up such a "trap" in the first place.

"But still, I shouldn’t be careless, nor overly cautious..."

"In any case, I’ll scan all Constant Star Systems first and then proceed."

After determining the coverage of the mysterious force, Su Yu began his exploration.

He was going to scan all five hundred billion Constant Star Systems in the Oming River System!

This was an unimaginable large-scale project, but with the Star Tower Terminal on the Nameless Battleship, Su Yu could fully achieve it.

The Star Tower Terminal on the battleship, once pushed to the limit, could directly scan everything within a radius of fifteen hundred light-years.

This scanning range was extremely impressive.

However, given that the Oming River System has a diameter of one hundred and ten thousand light-years, the Star Tower Terminal’s scanning range is far from enough to cover the entire river system.

Currently, Su Yu is a thousand light-years away from the Oming River System, at the edge of this large "disk".

Like a searchlight, the Star Tower Terminal projects a circular area with a diameter of about a thousand light-years onto the large disk of the Oming River System, which has a diameter of one hundred and ten thousand light-years.

This circular area can be scanned by the Star Tower Terminal.

Outside the range, the battleship needs to be repositioned to complete the scan.

Su Yu planned to circumnavigate the Oming River System from the outside to the core, scanning the entire system to understand its situation.

After devising the plan, Su Yu immediately activated the Star Tower Terminal at full power and began scanning.

Invisible signals were implanted, activated, and fed back by the Star Tower Terminal...

At this time, Su Yu was scanning the sparse Constant Star density at the edge of the river system, where there were about three million Constant Stars within a range of one thousand light-years.

Although the number was considerable, with the powerful capabilities of the Star Tower Terminal, these Constant Star Systems were quickly scanned completely.

During this process, the scanning intensity seemed to again excite the mysterious force, causing it to erupt once more, attempting to rush along the line toward Su Yu.

Fortunately, its range was limited; every time it reached halfway, it helplessly retreated.

After completely scanning the three million Constant Star Systems, Su Yu gained a general understanding of the situation in the river system.

Back then, the Human Empire had developed the Oming River System very deeply, with roughly one out of every ten thousand Constant Star Systems colonized.

The residents on those Colonial Stars naturally turned into corpses.

As for the remaining nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine Constant Star Systems, their environments were too harsh for humans to survive, although the Empire certainly had the technology to transform the system environment, it wasn’t necessary, as star systems were plentiful.

It is estimated that ten thousand years ago, those harsh Constant Star Systems were all mining areas, specifically used for extracting Oming Metal.

Three million Constant Star Systems, approximately three hundred of them were Colonial Star Systems, whose populations totaled far over a trillion.

These over a trillion people have now all become corpses, turned into "mineral deposits" within the planets.

Even though Su Yu’s resolve was extraordinarily firm, upon seeing so many corpses, he couldn’t help but be shocked internally.

Especially considering that there are more than five hundred billion Constant Stars in this river system. With the current one in ten thousand colonization ratio, there might be tens of millions of Constant Star Systems colonized.

How many people would that be? How many corpses?

This is just the Oming River System. How many river systems did the Human Empire actually colonize back then? How many died during the hyperspace tides ten thousand years ago?

The more he thought, the more shocked he became, but Su Yu soon brushed these thoughts aside.

Now is not the time to be sentimental; what matters is finding useful intelligence from the scanned information.

However, despite Su Yu’s powerful computational ability that allowed him to quickly browse through all the information, he didn’t find any useful data.

In these three hundred Colonial Star Systems, all manmade objects have completely disappeared.

Only the corpses remain, but no information was retained on them either.

Their clothing had already vanished, and their flesh had become metallic; Su Yu wanted to scan their internal structure and genetic coding but couldn’t retrieve anything useful.

These corpses are more like humanoid metal statues, with their internal structures being solid.

After confirming that there was no useful information, Su Yu activated the battleship and moved a thousand light-years to the side.

By doing so, the Star Tower signal could scan new Constant Star Systems.

Simultaneously, he moved that line formed by timers over, continuously monitoring the strange force that caused time to disappear.

Thus, Su Yu kept moving the battleship and continuously scanned star systems.

Unknowingly, he had circled the Oming River System a full circle.

He had scanned over ten billion Constant Star Systems.
