I kidnapped an alien civilization

In front of the Moxing base, Brother Hai continued:

Two hours later, Moxing turned into darkness. At the moment when the sun set, we detected an incredible temperature, -273.15°C. Although this temperature lasted for less than a second, then the temperature on the surface of Moxing It rose to -270°C, but the hundreds of temperature sensors on the surface of Moxing still accurately recorded this temperature.

It was in that less than a second that all members of the Mo Xing scientific expedition team froze to death.

That's incredible in less than a second!

Chen Shuxian glanced worriedly at the setting sun, and asked: -273.15°C and -270°C are only 3.15°C apart, how could it freeze the scientific expedition team to death, not to mention that they are still under the protection of spacesuits.

Yeah, we didn't believe the results of this investigation either, so we continued to observe the sky over Moxing for another week, and found that there was no abnormality on the surface of Moxing except for the zero-degree temperature at the moment when the sun went down, and there was no sandstorm on Mars. , there are no demon eyes on Jupiter, and no volcanic eruptions on Earth. It is just a dead world that exists silently in the universe. Haige sighed:

Excluding all the impossible, the remaining impossible is the truth! So we can only send this investigation result back to the earth, and then wait for the order of Director Li Mo. Before confirming the real cause of death of the scientific expedition team members, we can neither leave Moxing, It is also impossible to land on Moxing, and can only wait slowly in the space orbit of Moxing.

Fortunately, the wait didn't take too long. After 102 absolute zeros appeared on the surface of Moxing, we finally received a message from the earth. In the message, Director Li Mo ordered us to build a The temporary base can only be active during the day, when Mo Xing enters the night, we need to enter the temporary base to escape.

At the end of the message, Director Li Mo also gave a guess about the cause of death of the scientific expedition team members. According to his speculation, the scientific expedition team members died of the annihilation of the universe.

The universe is dying? Chen Shuxian frowned. Although she applied for the Department of Literature of Yanda University back then, in order to assist Li Mo, she later studied physics and obtained a Ph.D. She had never heard of the term universe death.

Although she was wearing a helmet, Chen Shuxian could still feel that Brother Hai was also confused: At that time, I didn't know what the extinction of the universe was. Later, from the communication with Director Li Mo, I gradually learned that this is Director Li Mo. A word of my own making.

The annihilation of the universe refers to the death of the entire universe. Of course, it is not the permanent death of the entire universe, but the moment when absolute zero appears, the universe where Mo Xing is located dies instantly.

You know, in the state of absolute zero, all the motion of molecules stops. Expanding to the level of the universe, the true absolute zero will stop all motion in the universe. When the motion of matter stops, time and space have no meaning , everything in the universe will fall into eternal stillness, which is called the extinction of the universe.”

This is simply the death of the universe!

There was a chill on Chen Shuxian's back, and she couldn't help shivering.

On the weird planet Mo Xing, the universe actually dies once a day. Although the time of each death is less than one second, and the scope of death is only limited to the range of Mo Xing, but in case

Under the infinite time scale and infinite space scale, events with low probability will inevitably happen eventually.

If this kind of death spreads to the entire universe, all life in the universe will definitely die in the extinction of the universe.

Of course, this has surpassed the cognition of human science and technology. It's just Director Li Mo's unfounded speculation. At the same time, Professor Li Mo also gave a solution, let us enter the temporary base before the sun goes down. Hai Ge Look up to the horizon.

Will entering the temporary base be able to resist absolute zero? Chen Shuxian asked suspiciously.

Absolute zero can put the universe into a state of extinction, and can kill all life in an instant. How can a small temporary base be able to resist it.

At this moment, Brother Hai smiled and said, Look, they're back!

In the distance, a silver catapult vehicle is approaching at high speed. This is the last group of team members. When all the team members leave the Navigator, the Navigator will return to Earth to perform new missions.

Dapeng, quickly open the gate of the base.

The catapult plunged into the blue viscous substance like a bullet, Hai Ge ran to the catapult and opened the door.

Chen Shuxian glanced at the sky. The originally bright sun was already dim, like a candle that would be blown out by a strong wind at any time.

Once the candle is extinguished, the universe will die.

Quick! Quick! Quick! She also called out to the team members who were still a little confused.

Although the team members were a little stunned by the collision, they still realized something was wrong in an instant. They woke up in an instant and rushed into the black door.

When the last team member entered the black door, Chen Shuxian and Hai Ge also jumped into the black door.

Haige pressed the button next to the door, and the black door fell. Its falling speed was not slow, but Chen Shuxian felt that it had been hundreds of years, because the sun in the sky had already started to twinkle.

It will go out anytime!

Fortunately, perhaps it was God's pity for the world, when the black door was completely closed, the sun did not go out.

Take off!!! Brother Hai ordered loudly through the headset.

The base operator who had been waiting in front of the console pressed the red start button. Chen Shuxian felt the ground shaking, and the pressure on her body gradually increased. The pressure was so strong that Chen Shuxian could hardly stand on the floor. Fortunately, she had a space suit. Supporting her, she could barely lean against the wall.

The team members who ran in front were not so lucky. They were running, but at this time they were suddenly attacked by strong pressure and fell to the ground one after another. For a while, 6 or 7 people lay down in the white passage.

Chen Shuxian realized that the temporary base had taken off!

Although there is no window here to see the emotions outside, the emergence of strong pressure can only be caused by the sudden upward acceleration of the temporary base.

Brother Hai's performance was quite normal, and he didn't seem to be affected by the strong pressure. He was checking the data of the temporary base on a weird instrument in front of the door.

One side said through the headset: A nuclear battery-driven beam thruster is installed under this temporary base. Whenever the sun is about to set, we will rise into the sky to avoid the coming of the universe's death.

After many observations, we found that the extinction of the universe will only affect the surface of Moxing.

At this time, the temporary base seemed to have risen into the sky, and the rapid acceleration came to an end.

Without strong pressure, Chen Shuxian breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding the death of the universe, you should explain to us in advance, instead of letting us board Moxing without knowing anything. Today we are very lucky, we landed earlier, and the landing location is not far from the temporary base. Far. If it is a little further away, maybe we won’t be able to enter the temporary base before the sun goes down.”

Chen Shuxian is very dissatisfied with Brother Hai's behavior of disregarding other people's lives.

Don't be angry, this is actually Director Li Mo's order. Director Li Mo believes that the extinction of the universe is the top secret of the Earth Defense Agency, and ordered me not to disclose it to the outside world. Hai Ge explained with a smile.

It was only then that Chen Shuxian discovered that Brother Hai had been talking to her through a single line, and the communication channel had never been opened to other crew members.

It seems that he is well prepared.

Then what should we do if we can't enter the temporary base before the sun goes down today?

The annihilation of the universe is indeed unimaginable. Once it is announced, it will inevitably cause an uproar in human civilization. It should be kept secret, but Chen Shuxian still finds it difficult to understand this behavior of putting the lives of the team members at risk.

What can I do, of course I will be frozen to death on the surface of Moxing. Hai Ge said casually: Human beings have more than 7 billion living individuals, and each living individual thinks that he is unique and that he is the only one in this world. The protagonist, everything in the world exists because of him, without him the whole world will become dim and meaningless.”

But the reality is that no one is irreplaceable. Even the richest man in the world with millions of employees, when he dies, most of the people around him who have been favored will express their grief at his funeral. But maybe after leaving the funeral, I will go back to the villa immediately and hold a queue.

As for ordinary people, it is even more tragic. They are turned into a handful of fly ash in the mortuary oven of the crematorium, then put into a square box, and finally buried in a concrete floor. The family members will naturally suffer from great pain at first, but this is also a In a very short process, maybe less than a month, his family members and friends will forget him completely. Even 20 years later, because the family members forgot to renew his mausoleum, the small square box was destroyed. The management department dug it out and randomly piled it in a remote warehouse. Maybe there are many mice in this warehouse, and they especially like to use the small square wooden box to grind their teeth. Maybe the small square box he lives in is just chosen by the mice. In this way, when an ordinary person dies twenty years later, he will completely disappear from this world.

If the appearance of Homo sapiens in Africa 70,000 years ago is defined as the official birth of modern humans, there will be more than 170 billion people on the earth. Of course, except for the 7 billion people alive now, the remaining 160 billion people are all Died. There are very few people who can successfully leave traces in history, like Confucius, Yao, Shun and Yu, etc., and it is even a drop in the ocean that can still be mentioned frequently after a hundred years.

So, to be human, one has to accept the ordinary facts. In a sense, human beings are no different from other creatures on earth.

Brother Hai's cold words made Chen Shuxian shudder, but she wanted to refute but couldn't.

Maybe a few human lives are really nothing to keep the secret of the death of the universe.

Although this obviously violates the morality of human civilization, it is very realistic.

This is a topic that Chen Shuxian once saw in a magazine:

A railway switchman is the person responsible for changing the course of a train at the y fork. On this day, a switchman who was about to retire was on his last shift. He had already bought a fishing rod and was going to go fishing tomorrow.

Hearing the roar of the train in the distance, he knew that as long as he pressed the button that controlled the switch in his hand, moving the train track to the other end of the fork, he could end this 50-year-long work.

But at this time, he found that there were 20 young people lying on the rails in a row in the straight direction of the railway, and a white-haired old man was lying on the rails alone in the bifurcation direction of the railroad.

At this time, the experienced switchman immediately pressed the red light button to inform the train that there was an abnormality ahead and it had to stop immediately.

But the train's heavy iron wheels hit the rails, the ground trembled, and there was no sign of slowing down, and a rapid siren sounded.

Through the interval of the siren, the switchman knew that the train was out of control and could not stop.

At this time, the switchman faced the biggest choice since his son took over his father's business.

Scenario 1. He does nothing and lets the train go straight, running over the 20 young men.

Scenario 2. He continued to perform the original work, pressed the button, changed the track, and let the train run over the gray-haired old man.

The final question is, what should the old switchman do?

This question has no answer.

When Chen Shuxian saw this question, she immediately understood that it was a question to which everyone knew the answer, but no one dared to say it.

Because the answer is too cruel.

From a rational analysis, 20 young people not only have more people, but also have a longer life in the future, which can create more material wealth for the world.

And the old man is almost seventy years old, and he may not have a few years to live. Even if he is not killed by a train, he may suffer from various diseases in the future, and finally spend a lot of wealth and die in pain.

From a practical point of view, what the old switchman should do is to press the button and let the runaway train rush into the side road.

but.

Can human life really be measured in this way?

As the only life of human beings, can it really be deprived by other people at will?

Are 20 young lives really more important than the life of one old man?

Ethically speaking, all living beings are equal.

Therefore, many people know the answer, but are ashamed to say the answer, because they are afraid that others will think that they have lost their sense of morality.

It is clear.

People like Li Mo and Hai Ge who stand on high places don't care about the so-called sense of morality, nor do they care about other people's opinions.

In order to keep the secret of the annihilation of the universe, they don't mind sacrificing several scientific expedition members, including Chen Shuxian.

The strange thing is that Chen Shuxian did not have the slightest negative emotions such as anger, sadness, sadness, etc., but agreed with this approach.

The night of Moxing is short, and when the fist-sized sun jumps into the sky again, the day comes.

Under Haige's order, the temporary base landed on the surface of Moxing again.

Obviously, Brother Hai has already received the message from Li Mo and knows what Chen Shuxian's trip is all about.

When the temporary base stopped on the surface of Moxing, he led two team members and Chen Shuxian to take a catapult to inspect the layout of the nuclear bomb.
