Laila's mechanical fingers glided across the quantum pedestal of the "Museum of Rifts," while the stardust Solder Points of the Scorch Gear projected a miniature Rainbow Bridge in her palm—a civilization resonance model constructed by Ice Drip using the latest algorithms, with every speck of light representing the unique frequency of a star sector. When her Mechanical Heart and the crack in the gear produced a 0.01% asynchronous vibration, the edge of the model suddenly erupted in a blinding silver glow. The unexplored star sector at the end of the Orion Arm was expanding in violation of the laws of quantum physics, its energy fluctuations perfectly in sync with the residual data from Chen Mo's Mother's laboratory.
"Ice Drip, locate the material composition of the anomalous star sector." Laila's Mechanical Prosthetic Eye locked onto the silver-blue halo. The symbiont of Sacred Tree vines on her forearm suddenly shrank, sending a pain akin to tree roots being severed by metal—a warning transmitted by a Primitive Tribe shaman through biological resonance: "There is no Hundun there, nor is there order, only... the outlines of erased civilizations."
"Spatial scans indicate that this region is a 'blank page of civilization' left behind by the Observer," Ice Drip's holographic projection produced a rare burst of mechanical static. "I used to think that the survival of a civilization required 100% purity of traits, until I saw Laila's Mechanical Heart beat more powerfully because …
