"A self-decoding system?"
Lü Yongchang immediately frowned when he saw the information.
Something like this shouldn't be in a modification center!
Normally, an area called a modification center would be at the heart of a civilization and would not be freely open to outsiders.
Equipping it with a self-decoding system... made no sense whatsoever.
Moreover, judging by how quickly Zero had infiltrated it, there were no defensive measures inside at all.
How was this anything like a modification center?
This was a damn diplomatic device!
Filled with questions, Lü Yongchang waited silently.
There was an enormous amount of information inside the Hypercube. Even Zero took quite some time to finish reading and decoding all the data.
More than ten minutes later.
Having completed the initial screening and organization of the data, Zero displayed the important information in the Holographic Projection.

Lü Yongchang's gaze shifted slightly.
This appeared to be a document somewhere between a log and a chronicle. Its compiler had probably intended to record the history of the Troy Civilization.
He quickly skimmed the subsequent stages of its development, unable to suppress a pang of sorrow.
From the looks of it, the Troy Civilization had not met a happy end.
