From black technology to super engineering

In the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, time always passes quickly, but in a blink of an eye, the calendar has turned over March.

For ordinary people, March of 2032 is undoubtedly a time worth remembering—humans on Earth welcomed the arrival of alien civilization messengers for the first time, and allowed aliens to appear in the human world in a fair manner.

For a long time, ordinary people's understanding of extraterrestrial civilizations has always been limited to the communication between human beings and extraterrestrial civilizations in space exploration. Even if the appearance of aliens appears around them, they are all virtualized by computers, similar to The virtual characters in the movie are acceptable, but I never thought that one day humans will witness aliens appearing right under their noses.

The shock brought by "real people" to ordinary people is unparalleled, so much so that there are a lot of speculations on how humans will communicate and interact with foreign civilizations on the Internet.

For example, many people believe that human beings will open up space trade and travel business routes, communicate with aliens, and at the same time conduct trade, ordinary people will have the opportunity to travel through wormholes to appreciate the scenery of alien stars, and will also open up "stars". World", allowing friendly aliens to come to Earth for trade and tourism.

There are also people who look a little further, thinking that since human beings have the ability to cross the star field, the aliens discovered in the future will not only be "meow people" and "bear people", but there may be some that are particularly in line with human aesthetics. ? In that case... wouldn't it be flattering?

There are also those who look a little farther and think more, think that future space exploration will definitely enter the "Great Discovery Age", when everyone will have the opportunity to enter space exploration, and maybe they will be able to discover something. A resource-based planet in a primitive tribe... Getting rich in one fell swoop is no longer a dream.

However, in the face of ordinary people's discussions and prospects, the "community", which represents the highest authority of mankind, has not made any substantive statements. Judging from various public reports, the diplomatic agencies of the community are only They took the representatives of the aliens to travel around the mountains and rivers, searched and investigated, but did not leak any serious and useful news.

Hmm... This makes the common people on the Internet very anxious.

Until... April 8th, a blockbuster press release appeared in the most prominent position of all media.

——"Virgo Civilization Survival and Development Joint Proposal"

...

Provincial Jiaotong Brain-Computer Center, Director's Office.

"Dariji, do you want to try our anti-cancer therapy?"

Director Niu and Ye Ming sat side by side on the sofa, and Muda Reisi, who had just finished his trip to South America, sat across from him. He seemed to be suffering from a cold, and the old man had a cough.

But everyone here knows that the old man has lung cancer.

"My cat's body, the earth's anti-cancer therapy is probably useless, isn't it?" Muda Reisi rejected Director Niu's kindness with a smile, and didn't mind calling himself a "meow star" - he hasn't If you don’t go to social media, you will naturally know the “nicknames” humans have for the Saints, and wherever you go, you will actively communicate with humans, take photos, and even have a general grasp of Mandarin.

"I think you can try it." Ye Ming pursed his lips and looked at Mr. Mu Duo sincerely: "We still have some experience in suppressing the spread of cancer cells."

"This is the number of times my cells have divided. Even if all the cancer cells are wiped out, I won't be able to live for two or three years. Don't worry about it." Muda Reisi waved his hand: "Instead of treating me, it's better to send me to heaven as soon as possible."

Ye Ming knew that he couldn't persuade the old man, so he shook his head: "We will leave in two days."

"Okay." Mr. Mu Duo was also straightforward, with a casual expression. But immediately, he said with emotion: "It's a pity that there is not enough time, otherwise I really want to see the earth a few more times."

"However, there are no ancient relics to be seen in the vicissitudes of life." Mr. Mu Duo sighed with emotion, turned his head to look out the window, and fell silent again.

Ye Ming followed the gaze of Mr. Mu Duo, and knew that it was the direction of Andromeda—that is, where the Canglan Star was.

After a few seconds of silence, the old man sighed softly: "I don't know what is left of our home planet."

"There are basically no signs of civilization on the surface, but the space city has basically remained the same."

"Well... After all, the mother planet encountered a meteorite crisis before, and then when the ancestral civilization reached a high level of prosperity, they all moved to the space city." Mu Duo slowly looked back: "That is a group of tens of millions..."

Ye Ming hummed lightly, but didn't know how to answer.

You can't say sorry, can you?

Mu Dalisi stared at Ye Ming: "The scale of human civilization is far larger than ours...even among the civilizations we know, it is the largest."

"Only after experiencing catastrophe can we know the preciousness of a strong ethnic group."

Ye Ming and Director Niu looked at each other, and they both nodded at the same time.

At this moment, Director Niu's eyes were filled with curiosity suddenly, and he asked, "Director Dali, I have a question."

"What question?"

"It's your space city, with a population of hundreds of millions...but apart from you and the Kodo tribe, it seems that no one has escaped."

"It looks like this now."

"Then there is a problem... We didn't find many remains in the ruins of the space city."

Master Mu Dali was startled slightly, his eyes were filled with energy instantly, and his voice became calmer from the previous emotion: "Have you completed all the exploration of the ruins of the holy city?"

Director Niu and Ye Ming looked at each other, then touched Ye Ming again, motioning for Ye Ming to answer.

"We haven't done all the exploration, after all, our detectors and engineering robots are limited."

Reiji Mudari nodded slightly: "And then?"

"Then we took multiple sampling methods to model and simulate, and finally came to the conclusion that... there are not as many corpses in the space city as we expected... because the space city is a city with many sealed spaces .Arguably, they couldn't survive after the space city and all the battleships were destroyed."

"Furthermore, in the space environment, corpses and even various accompanying objects will remain for a long time... For example, we found corpses in battleships."

"But... according to the simulation, there are not many biological remains in the entire space city... even many places are empty."

Ye Ming looked back at Mu Duo, and at the same time asked Aita to turn on the projection.

He and Director Niu didn't lie to Mu Duo - for the exploration of the wreckage of the Canglan Star space city, after the human beings established contact with the Canglan Star, they obtained the other party's "consent", but the condition was that all discoveries needed to be shared.

This request was not excessive at all, and the human beings immediately agreed at that time—after all, they were going to dig other people's graves!

But because the ruins of the space city are too huge—it is indeed a real space city, more than enough to accommodate tens of millions of people.

Just think about how long it would take to walk through every corner of a city with tens of millions of people by robots.

Therefore, it was not until the Xunxing ship and its supply ship after this rotation, built an observation station relying on the ruins of the space city, and released hundreds of detectors, that the first round of investigations on the ruins of the space city was finally completed.

Originally, the expedition team thought they would find countless remains of bones in the ruins, but later found that even in the most densely populated urban areas, there were not many dead people in them.

At least not as many as imagined—when the probe first arrived at the ruins, there were various ideas because there were not many bones found. The mainstream opinion at the time was that the civilization ran away. Later, after contacting the Canglan Star, they focused their energy on the ruins themselves, thinking that there would be a large number of wreckage in the core residential area.

While Mu Duo looked at the projection, Ye Ming continued: "Now, there are three mainstream opinions, one is that they have been destroyed."

Muda Reisi withdrew his gaze: "There are two more?"

"One is that the bones turned into cosmic dust."

"And the last one...is that they were taken captive."

After speaking, Ye Ming looked at Mu Duo quietly.

As the executor gets closer, mankind is about to face the greatest crisis. Although the entire leadership of mankind has strengthened their belief in resistance because of the birth of rice grains and the sky patching project,...as a population of tens of billions Leaders, the whole community, still have to think of all possibilities.

For example, the Fire Seed Project has already started to be implemented—it is not appropriate to just conceive embryos, but it is appropriate to preserve a sufficient number of sperm and eggs and send them on a spaceship to leave the solar system and the blue galaxy after a year.

In addition to the Fire Seed Project, what the leaders of the community are most concerned about is that if human beings are no match at all and cannot stop the attack of the executors, and the executors kill all the way from Andromeda to the solar system-then, what is left of human beings?

Is it a direct shot to the moon? Or just clear out the bases and space cities on the moon?

Or simply blow up the earth?

If it is not directly annihilating the planet, is it possible for human beings to survive a little? Or, what would they do with humans?

These are the significance of human beings investigating the ruins of the blue star.

In this sense, it goes beyond worrying about the future "recovery" of the Canglan Star people.

Obviously, the number of cat remains in the ruins of Canglanxing is wrong, causing confusion to humans.

Although Ye Ming said three mainstream opinions... But in essence, the last one is the one that can perfectly explain the phenomenon.

Because the destruction project is too big, and it is impossible to leave no traces - unless the aliens use the legendary bone water, they will definitely not be able to clean it so cleanly.

Turning into dust is even more unreliable-because in the wreckage of the spaceship, humans have found countless bones and spacesuits with biological traces.

After all, it is space, and many things can be preserved for thousands of years.

Then...the third guess is very likely.

Reiji Mudari frowned deeply, and his eyes flickered continuously.

"You mean, the ancestor was taken away?"

"I only think from the perspective of... well, or from the perspective of a barbaric and rational civilization. When such a civilization launches a war against another civilization that spans tens of millions of light-years in units of years... the ending is mediocre There are only two."

"First, plow its courts, sweep its houses, and kill them all."

"Second, loot his wealth, take his mouth away, and enslave him forever."

After speaking, Ye Ming closed his mouth again.

He has never regarded such a tyrannical civilization as a executor as a civilization that can "talk well" like human beings, then... In the long history of human beings for five thousand years, even if you look at a small earth, there are countless The conflicts and collisions between civilizations and countless countries are absolutely no less than the collisions of the entire interstellar civilization.

In other words, the big and small things in the universe, regardless of their identities, can probably find corresponding description targets in human history.

Whether it is hatred or survival, the bloody past in human history will not be more optimistic than what happened to Canglanxing.

And since he realized this, the word "surrender" no longer exists in his dictionary.

Of course, communication is communicative.

You have to see what kind of thing is that arrogant executor who destroys people everywhere at every turn!

There was a long silence in the office.

After a long time, Reiji Mudai breathed out slowly.

"I know what you want to ask, don't you, if they take away our ancestors, where are the people? What's the use?"

Ye Ming nodded slowly: "The number of population largely determines the development direction of a civilization and the scale of technology. Especially for a civilization in a development period-although I think the executor is already highly developed, but I still don't think the population will be a burden to them."

"Then the question is, if they kidnapped them, what do they want people for?"

As Ye Ming's voice fell, Director Niu also looked at Director Mu Dali.

——The two of them had already discussed it before receiving Master Mu Daresi today.

What is population for?

Or, what good is an enslaved population?

At least, the current old man knows that it has a role.

Silently, Reji Mudari closed his eyes, but the eyeballs kept rolling in their sockets. This means that the elderly are constantly thinking.

Ye Ming and Director Niu were not in a hurry, they just watched Mu Dalisi quietly.

After a while, Reiji Mudari slowly opened his eyes.

"Intelligent brain comes from a meeting between our ancestors and foreign civilizations."

Ye Ming nodded slowly.

This he already knew.

"According to records, six thousand years ago, the satellite of our parent star was attacked by an unknown warship and was directly torn apart, thus forming a star ring... At that time, the surviving ancestors fled the surface and went underground."

"And more than 5,300 years ago, the star gate arrived at the place closest to the parent star."

Muda Reisi slowly talked about the past of his own civilization.

"One day, a spaceship from an extraterrestrial civilization arrived at the star gate and happened to collide with the satellite wreckage, so it first fired a shot at the satellite wreckage, and then collided with the wreckage."

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback, this scene seems a little familiar?

Is it popular for alien civilization to hit the brakes?

"Then, the spaceship crash-landed to the ground and was captured by the ancestors."

Ye Ming and Director Niu looked at each other, and they said in unison: "Could it be the executor?"

"no."

"They're a wandering civilization."
