Wander! Blue Star People

"We were attacked by the Andromeda Galaxy. This is an attack method that we cannot understand. The attack object is a disembodied light, and the effect of the attack is"

"Forgetting."

Quintessa's compatriot explained to Quintessa what they had experienced during this period. His voice was full of uneasiness and panic. Even though he was trying to pretend to be calm, Quintessa still heard this.

"Forgotten?" Quintessa didn't understand what kind of attack effect this was.

Amnesia beam?

Something out of a graphic novel?

Does this thing really exist?

"Yes, forgotten." Quintessa's compatriot was silent for two seconds, and then continued with a slightly trembling voice, "Everything may be forgotten, including how to open the door, how to stand up, and how to write."

Let's call the attack from the Andromeda Galaxy the Forgotten Beam.

When first attacked by the beam of oblivion, the victim will only feel tired. This fatigue will not cause any physical damage to the victim, but will only make the victim have the idea to stop all actions and make the victim feel tired. The person stayed where he was quietly.

After that, the real effect of the Forgotten Beam began to take effect.

The victim will continue to forget the knowledge and information they have already mastered, and because the victim has been doing nothing during this period, the victim will not be aware of their forgetfulness.

At first it was simple things, such as opening and closing doors and opening and closing eyes, then to more complex things, such as operating a battleship and controlling instruments, and finally to body maintenance and energy replenishment, which are closely related to maintaining life.

The order of forgetting events is not fixed, and each different individual has differences in the specific events of forgetting, but it is generally like this: first the simpler ones, then the more complex ones, and finally those related to maintaining life.

"So he forgot to replenish himself with energy?" Quintasha felt incredible. She couldn't believe that such a weird weapon existed in the universe.

This is an area that the Creator’s civilization has never set foot in.

The civilization that controls this weapon is either on a completely different path from the Creator's civilization, or its technological level is much higher than that of the Creator's civilization.

Or maybe both.

After all, the enemy had launched a beam of oblivion at the Creator Civilization’s fleet when the Creator Civilization had just left the Milky Way. This means that the enemy also has the technology to conduct real-time detection across 1.2 million light-years.

This is also a technology that cannot be imagined by the creator civilization.

"No, it's more complicated than you think." Quintasha's compatriot sighed with a heavy heart. "The head of state had a premonition that some compatriots might die forgetting to replenish energy, so he specially arranged for compatriots to pair up in pairs to work with each other. reminder, only for him and his countrymen to forget about it at the same time.”

He paused, then added: "The head of state later added a new rule requiring members to remind each other to replenish energy when they meet, and to remind members to remind each other when they meet."

Whether it is a coalition government or a creator civilization, every strange regulation is based on painful lessons.

Quintessa was silent.

She fell into great shock and confusion.

Her civilization is currently drifting between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, facing an uncertain future. However, she is imprisoned in a human prison. She can only learn about the current situation of civilization from the mouths of her compatriots, but cannot do anything for the civilization. anything.

However, thinking from another perspective, isn’t this a blessing?

She is currently locked in a human prison, not in the fleet of the Creator's civilization, not attacked by the beam of oblivion, and does not need to worry about her own survival.

But what to do next?

"Have you found a way to break this 'forgetfulness'?" Quintessa asked with concern.

She got a negative answer.

"Not yet, and I don't have a clue at all." Quintessa's compatriot sighed, and poured a basin of cold water on Quintasha from head to toe. "We maintain our memory by constantly reading the memory bank, but the head of state It is speculated that the main civilizations of the ruins we encountered on this road perished due to the forgetting beam."

"Based on the condition of the ruins, those civilizations should have taken some measures to curb forgetfulness before their demise, so they bought time to build those ruins."

"If we never find a way to crack Oblivion, their present is our future."

Quintessa's compatriot paused, perhaps because he noticed Quintessa's bad mood, and his tone became gentler.

"But I believe this technological barrier will not stop us for long. Maybe there will be a solution tomorrow or next year,"

The Creator Civilization is a civilization that is proficient in scientific research. Their scientists have even artificially created an extremely special material called deformed metal.

Quintessa's compatriots are confident that their scientists can solve the problem.

Quintessa nodded slowly.

Most of the ruins encountered by the Creator's Civilization on the way are inferior to the technological level of the main civilization.

The place where the Creator civilization encountered the beam of oblivion on the way was farther than them, which means that the speed of the Creator civilization is faster than these civilizations, and the speed is often linked to the degree of technological development.

Those civilizations can't solve the problem of the forgotten beam, but it doesn't mean that the Creator civilization can't solve it either.

"Quintessa, how are your negotiations with humans going?" Quintessa's compatriots asked Quintessa about her current situation despite their mental exhaustion.

In the past three years, members of the Creator Civilization have developed a certain resistance to the fatigue caused by the Forgotten Beam and can force themselves to do things despite the fatigue.

no resistance

Those members have become idiots.

In fact, the current situation of the Creator civilization is much worse than what this Creator member told Quintasha.

He didn't tell Quintessa that more than half of the members were now idiots who couldn't take care of themselves, because it had no positive impact on Quintessa.

The reason it's so bad is because the fatigue effect of the Oblivion Beam is so powerful that it's hard to resist.

Even though the head of state issued repeated orders, only one-third of the members responded to the call of the head of state and took active actions to resist forgetfulness.

Most of the members gave up resistance due to the fatigue caused by the forgetfulness beam, and were finally put into the life-sustaining capsule by the Führer.

Among the one-third members who resisted, some gave up halfway, and some died due to other reasons. Currently, less than one-fifth of the members of the entire Creator Civilization are still fighting tenaciously.

No one knows when scientists will develop a way to crack the oblivion beam, and everyone persists with blind optimism.

"Quintessa?"
