"It rushed in ... and then attracted a lot of 'stuff'."

This is a long time ago.

Midgart once entered the interior of this star.

Midgart itself has the ability to fly into the stars ... this is also true.

The appearance of Midgart did not affect the star, at least from the appearance.

Then it left.

Sometime after the departure of Midgart, something strange happened to the star.

Lots of things ... come together.

Most of these things look like stone fragments, floating objects common in the void.

They are large in number, as if attracted by very stars, and these floats fly in large numbers from a distance in the void.

But most of them did not fly into the star, but stopped after approaching the star, floating around the star at a certain distance.

These floats are becoming more numerous, and some of them are fused together into larger solids.

Then something strange started to grow on these larger solids.

They are called 'star shooters'.

In fact, this is what Lin saw, but this earliest star-shooter is more primitive than the one I see now ...

The original starburst looks a lot like ... a tentacle. Under the ground

Its specific form is a ball-shaped body with a spike, which is fixed under the ground, and a tentacle-like structure protruding from the body on the ground.

What this star shooter does is aim the star with this tentacle. After a period of time, various traces will appear on the spherical body below it.

These traces are actually a record of the changes in the environment on the stars it observed during this time.

In the end, its spherical body will completely change into a star-like shape, and then the tentacles on the top will detach from the body and crawl to a distance.

Then, the tentacle's end will slowly generate a ball again, and then bury the spherical part into the ground, starting a new round of recording stars.

This is the earliest star shooter.

As a large number of floats are attracted to the stars, these floats sometimes become larger and sometimes collide and smash. These star beaters have been constantly appearing on these floats.

They are all relatively simple machines, and generally have the functions of self-maintenance and recording of the state of stars.

As the floating objects around the stars change, these star-patterns also constantly change their shape to adapt to the changing environment and continue shooting.

After a long period of time, these star-patterns have evolved like creatures.

To be precise, there are many kinds of species, some of which are just like the beginning, they just stay on the surface of some floating objects, they are just simple devices that engraved the observations on the surrounding stones.

And some ... become very large.

They are like a piece of floating land, with a fixed orbit around the star, and they carefully record all the states of the star.

No matter how they change, their purpose will never change ... it is to observe and shoot stars.

The bigger the star beater is, the more complicated it is to record. The original star beater will only record what it sees by engraving on the stone or the like, while the large one will be very complicated to construct inside. Structure.

For example, create a simulated little star in the body or something.

In short, the bigger it is, the better it can be recorded.

These star shooters should also be made by Midgart, although it is not known what the role is.

Because according to Lynn's understanding, the history of this star recorded by the star shooter has not changed much from ordinary stars.

This star is not a very special star ... or can they record something special?

Something special happened to the camera itself.

That's ... the birth of the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper was originally born inside those hundreds of kilometers of star shooters.

The main reason for their birth was because the star shooter made them.

These huge starbeaters that orbit the stars don't just record the current state of the stars, they also make future predictions.

Like predicting what will happen to the stars in the future, what will change, and so on.

And it's not just changes in the stars themselves, but also external influences, like ... signals.

As long as the camera is complex enough, it will observe the star in a variety of ways, of course, not just vision ... they can detect the star through many of the perceptual methods that Lin knows.

Some starbeaters have very powerful sensing capabilities, and they can receive things that are not part of the star.

There is such a star shooter ... a distant signal was received.

This signal comes from the depths of the void. At first, this signal was nothing but meaningless information for the starbeater.

But after receiving a signal for a long time, the starbeater started to try to analyze the signal.

Starbeater began to modify its internal system to better analyze these signals. This behavior of Starbeater seems to be because the source it found is getting closer and closer to the star.

This thing that came from a distant void may approach the star and cause some influence on the star, so it has been trying to understand the signal source, and even sends some information back to see the signal source's response.

It's all about understanding how a signal source might affect a star.

Slowly, the star tracker gained more and more understanding of the signal source. The star tracker found that the signal source was a group of creatures traveling in the void, and they were slowly approaching the star.

And before this group of creatures arrived, this star-pattern created a lot of models inside themselves that would affect them when they came.

In the end, even these creatures themselves ... Although they have not met, the star shooter is still based on the information that has been parsed; it has been judged and manufactured.

This time, it's not just about making models. The star shooter is made entirely from real creatures.

Of course, no one knows whether this creature is real or not, because this group of creatures did not come to the stars as predicted by the star shooter.

They may be absent for some reason, or they may not have this group of travelling creatures at all. The star-shooting device just thinks that there are such creatures through a distant signal.

But anyway ... the creatures made by the star shooter are alive.

After they were created, they found themselves inside the star shooter, and then they started here ... to live on.
