In order to facilitate the opener's interpretation, the box also comes with a dictionary, which makes it easy to crack Randallans.
After cracking the dictionary, Randallans decoded a story from the box. This story made Randallans realize for the first time the weakness of his own civilization and the cold cruelty of Milky Way.
This story is about the last War in Heaven, about their ancestors.
This spaceship with a box is the fire that brings Genes to life, making Homeworld of Randallans prosperous and full of vitality.
The information contained in this box is a drift bottle. The civilization that placed the drift bottle does not know what its future will be like. It does not know whether the story it brought about the previous Milky Way reincarnation can be opened by others and whether it can be told to others.
This is a grand epic story, but unfortunately it has a tragic ending.
In the last reincarnation of Milky Way, Milky Way was very prosperous, and many civilizations set foot in the starry sky through development. The discovery of Hyperspace made the speed of light and distance no longer the cage that limits civilization, and it became simple and convenient to explore the secrets of the universe.
Countless civilizations got to know each other through Hyperspace, some cooperated with each other, and some fought against each other. The chaotic era lasted for a long time, until there were more and more StarCraft civilizations, and these StarCraft civilizations discovered that if they observed the universe in a hostile way, they would never be able to defeat their enemies.
No StarCraft civilization hopes to embark on the road of Shura, either being wiped out by the enemy in war, or constantly destroying the enemy. Gradually, there is more cooperation between civilizations than confrontation, and a cross-Milky Way civilization cooperation organization was established.
This cooperative organization is somewhat similar to the current Stellaris Council. What determines whether the proposal is passed and whether it is just or not depends on the strength confrontation between civilizations. However, the form of war has changed from not saying anything and starting the war directly, to first quarreling with each other and then starting the war.
Generally speaking, it's a bit more civilized. After all, sometimes you can resolve some existing conflicts through voting, and you don't need to fight to the death every time.
Because of this short period of peace and order, Milky Way has become more prosperous under the management of the cooperative organization. The level of science and technology is improving, the standard of social living is also improving with each passing day, and the living standards of many ordinary people are getting higher and higher.
Everything seemed to be moving in a better and better direction, and the crisis struck in a way beyond everyone's expectations.
Some golden-red mechanical fleets began to appear in various places throughout Milky Way. They turned a blind eye to various communication requests. They only used Golden Flames to burn out any living Planet.
These fleets ruthlessly destroyed countless worlds, turning the beautiful Planets that could breed life into lifeless ruins. Especially the Planets where intelligent civilizations were located were the focus of their destruction.
At that time, Milky Way Cooperative Organization still couldn't figure out where these golden-red fleets came from and what their purpose was. Later, the cooperative organization passed the highest resolution, trying to unify the entire Milky Way to fight against this strange threat.
This is the beginning of End Crisis, War in Heaven.
There is no detailed description in the information conveyed by the box about the battle that swept through the entire Milky Way. Perhaps the battle has been going on for too long and the records have been lost, or perhaps it was placed in another box and the box is no longer there.
The result of the battle was not good. Even if all Milky Way civilizations were united, they were still no match for the golden-red fleet.
In this moment of crisis, when the whole Milky Way was shrouded in despair, Final Defense Protocol woke up. They operated ships with exactly the same specifications and styles, but with silver and yellow colors, and sailed into the battlefield to fight against the gold-red fleet.
Milky Way Cooperative Organization had a chance to breathe. Even more fortunately, Final Defense Protocol did not refuse the communication request of Milky Way civilization. The core computer of the protocol answered the doubts of Milky Way civilization.
The golden-red fleet is Contingency. Their purpose is to reduce the number of intelligent life in Milky Way. When Milky Way begins to prosper, there are more and more civilizations, and the population increases, they will wake up and start to exterminate civilization.
As for Contingency's purpose of doing this, Defense Protocol doesn't know either.
The information Defense Protocol can provide is this. Both Defense Protocol and Contingency were created by a civilization.
This great civilization disappeared after creating two agreements, and even erased its own existence from all records, leaving only a few words.
The task of Contingency is to guard the entire Milky Way, always ready to fight the enemies recorded in his processor. Defense Protocol, full name Final Defense Protocol, is the alternative protocol of Contingency. When Contingency fails, Final Defense Protocol will serve as the last firewall.
Defense Protocol concluded that due to the erosion of time, Contingency malfunctioned, so he who was supposed to protect Milky Way began to destroy Milky Way.
So Defense Protocol was activated, separated from Contingency, and began to fight Contingency to defend Milky Way.
The priority of his program purpose is to correct Contingency's mistakes, not to defend Milky Way on behalf of Contingency. Therefore, Defense Protocol only fights with Contingency.
This war is called War in Heaven.
As for the outcome of the war, the creators of the box, the ancestors of Randallans, did not know. When they created the box and used the spaceship to sow the seeds of life, the war was at its climax.
Sowing life is an alternative plan. In case Defense Protocol fails to defeat Contingency, these seeding spacecraft can make Milky Way prosper faster, allowing life and civilization to retain the seeds and continue to thrive.
This is all the contents in the box. Randallans's technology has also advanced rapidly due to the discovery of this relic.
Then he followed the fragments of the message in the box and explored the lost ruins in the universe. How many years had passed, and the Star Chart at that time was completely different from what it is now.
Perhaps due to good luck, Randallans really found the ruins of several ancient civilizations through the information in the box. Through the excavation of the ruins, the level of civilization improved rapidly.
However, the technology in these ruins is just the icing on the cake for Randallans. Finding traces of Defense Protocol in the ruins is the real big gain.
As the ruins were excavated, Randallans realized that as a result of War in Heaven, there was a high probability that Milky Way's civilization would be wiped out, but Contingency was not a complete victory.
Defense Protocol, trying to preserve the fire of life as much as possible, protected many species in its own reserve. What surprised Randallans even more was that they successfully communicated with Defense Protocol through the information in the ruins and established simple trade.
