Interstellar leader

On the circle obtained by Li Qing and the others with two coordinates and two radii, there are only two stellar systems recorded, one deviates somewhat, and the other precisely passes through the trajectory of the circle.

The political system of the Orion Federation is quite loose, and the jurisdiction of the central government over local governments is very weak.This is not only reflected in the political economy, but also affects the technological and cultural aspects.They don't even have a unified and authoritative academy of sciences, which directly led to Li Qing's inability to obtain accurate information on these two star systems—their data in the archives are very vague, and it can only be found that they are all g-level spectra main sequence stars.

After deliberation, everyone decided to go to the point that happened to be on the circle first.

After the jump is complete, the star is still two days away.Several people went back to the cabin to rest, only Li Qing sat by the porthole, looking at the dark and cold universe outside.

Scenes of the past two years are shown in his mind like a movie. In the endless power struggles, he has learned to use various insidious means to help Chris "deal with" many people - the blood stained on his hands , some from dirty souls and some from pure lambs.

Li Qing didn't want to do this.

He opened his hand and pressed it against the cold window. Under the bright lights of the cockpit, his pale and slender fingers were reflected on the pure black background, as if only skeletons remained.

The vast galaxy has almost endless resources, as long as they are exploited reasonably, they can support all human beings, can't they?If there is no oppression, no war, no tyranny, then...

"Then man cannot progress."

A cold voice sounded from behind.At some point, Joerg came to the cockpit.He was wearing a black silk nightgown and slippers on his feet, as if he had just woken up.

It was only at this time that Li Qing realized that he had read it unconsciously.

"It seems that the time in the empire has troubled you, Isaac." Joerg turned around and took two cups of steaming coffee, one of which was pushed in front of Li Qing.Li Qing held the wall of the cup, the heat was transmitted to the fingertips, and some blood color appeared on the pale fingers.

Seeing that Li Qing narrowed his eyes and did not speak, he continued: "Maybe it would be strange to say this, but if there is no evil in human nature, no contention, violence, oppression, and bullying, maybe human beings are still hiding in the wild jungle, happy Unselfishly sharing a few berries. To be precise, it is not evil that promotes progress, but the glory of goodness and reason that emerges in the process of fighting against evil."

"So, are you feeling better?"

"I know." Li Qing sighed softly, "It's just that sometimes I can't help but think about what a beautiful world looks like, and daydream."

Joerg stood up and walked in front of him, propped the table with one hand, and covered Li Qing's face with the other, exerting a little force, with an irresistible taste. "Don't you think this world is beautiful?"

"Happily sharing a few fruits or bombarding people with a laser, which do you think is what civilization should look like?" Li Qing asked rhetorically.

Joerg froze.He really didn't know how to answer this question.

"Okay, Joel. I know I'm a bit extreme." Li Qing rubbed the space between his brows. "I also know that these are inevitable processes. Troubled times and peace alternate with each other like ice ages and interglacial ages. There is no end... It's just that I didn't feel it before. If I live in a prosperous year, even 100 years will be fine."

Yoerg looked straight into his eyes, and Li Qing also looked into Yoerg's pupils.They were so silent, as if they could read their inner thoughts from each other's eyes.

"Isaac, there is one more option you gave. They are not what civilization should look like." Joerg suddenly smiled. In his dark blue pupils, the strong self-confidence and obvious ambition were like a sharp knife.

"I'm here to restore what an interstellar civilization should look like, 100 years of peace."

Li Qing stared at him intently, almost fascinated by the strength and confidence that the blond youth erupted in an instant.After a moment, he smiled and said, "I believe in you."

He stretched out his right hand, hanging in the air. "Then I shall take charge of ending this inevitable war."

"I believe in you too." Joerg's mouth raised a small arc again, fingertips touched his fingertips, as if he didn't think it was enough.His fingers moved down slowly, passing through Li Qing's, and the moment his fingers interlocked, there was a kind of reassuring satisfaction.It seems that someone is walking side by side with it, and the promise will never be broken.

"Isaac, I've always been a little puzzled—although I don't know whether I should ask, but I'm really curious." Ilois glanced at the display screen, and in a while, he can enter the edge of the star system, and then You can see its internal structure.

"What's wrong with asking?" Li Qing asked with a smile. "Eloise, please—don't use your so-called 'art of language' on me, it sounds exhausting."

"How did you know that so-called Old English name, that, how to pronounce it?"

"polaris."

"Why do you know the distance between polaris and Gaia?" Ilois is indeed a language expert, and he learned ten images of a word he had never heard before in a second.

Li Qing didn't know what to say.What kind of interstellar joke, do you want to tell Ilois that he is from the earth?

"Can I refuse to answer this question?" Sure enough, he couldn't lie to his friend.

"Of course." Ilois was still staring at the monitor, and the genius historian seemed the most excited of them all. "Everyone has some secrets, my friend. I don't mind if you don't tell them. You know, we have always trusted you."

"Thank you." Li Qing was a little moved.

"Oh, we're almost there." Adelaide has been trying to observe the internal structure of this star system. As the distance shrinks, the data brought by the astronomical telescope becomes clearer and clearer.She exclaimed: "It's really strange! There are planets of different shapes, and there is an asteroid belt between the third and fourth! Oh... what is this? A comet?"

A smile appeared on Li Qing's face.This must be the solar system, the origin of humanity, the cradle of civilization.

Within a second, his smile froze on his lips.

"What did you say?! The third and the fourth?"

He almost jumped up from his seat and rushed to the screen, his expression of surprise and fear startled everyone.

On the deep black background, silver-white lines outline the structural map generated by the data detected by the telescope. On it, the outermost is the Kuiper asteroid belt like a circle of light, followed by four Jupiter-like planets, and then Looking inward, the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars wraps around the graceful neck of the solar system like a looming ribbon.

Everything is consistent with Li Qing's memory, except for one thing.

Earth, gone.

"Could you... remember wrongly?" Ilois asked Li Qing cautiously.Their spaceship is preparing to land on the third planet.

"Although it is rumored that there are eight planets in the solar system, it is a rumor after all, and maybe people mistook that asteroid for a planet?" Er Shao pointed to Pluto and said.

"How does this look like there are habitable planets?" Ilois retorted, she seemed to never be on the same page with Li Ershao on the issue of Gaia. "It seems that the most 'habitable' is only this third planet, but my God! A thin atmosphere of carbon dioxide, such a little water, red as a piece of iron, you tell me this is Gaia?"

The second young master was choked to the point of being speechless.When he dreamed back at midnight, he hadn't imagined the appearance of his home planet. In his mind, Gaia should be blue-green, a paradise more beautiful than Yige.

Eloise was a little anxious. "We may be wrong, and the galaxy that deviates a little bit from the circle is the solar system where Gaia is located..."

Li Qing interrupted her, his tone was terribly calm. "Enough, Ilois. You clearly know that this kind of unique galaxy is not common, but you subconsciously don't want to accept this fact. So what if Gaia doesn't exist? It doesn't exist forever—even if the stars It will also die, it is just a pebble compared to the sun, why can't it disappear?"

The slowly falling starship dimmed the lights, and the cabin was completely dark, only the instrument panel and various display screens were shining with faint blue light.Several people silently fastened their seat belts, sat in their positions, and prepared to land.Ilois gasped uncomfortably, trying to hold back her tears.

"It's not yet the time of despair." Li Qing felt a little sorry, and comforted in a soft voice: "We may be able to find the original truth on Mars."

"Mars?" Joerg, who had been silent all this time, spoke. "What did you name it?"

"It was originally called by this name." Li Qing didn't intend to claim the naming rights to himself, he had already revealed enough, and he didn't mind telling them the names of a few more planets. "It's also called Mars, the god of war in mythology; and the second one is Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Isn't it romantic?"

"What about Gaia?" Adelaide asked curiously.

"Earth Goddess."

"Myth? There is such a legend?" Ilois suddenly became excited again, her cheeks flushed a little. "How much do you know? When did it appear?"

"Not long after humans established civilization."

Joerg turned his head to look at Li Qing.His eyelashes were drooping, and his clean, broken hair was softly pasted on his forehead, and he didn't know what he was thinking.He likes to wear black, and Jörg notices that the color suits him well.Mysterious and deep, just like the night sky and the universe.

He's not Isaac Lancelot.

As strange as it is to think, Jörg feels that way.A young man in his 20s who has just completed higher education should not be like this.This soul surrounded by mysteries should come from a farther, more mysterious, untouchable distance.

With a jolt, the spacecraft landed, kicking up a misty cloud of dust on the dry and hot land on the sun-facing side of Mars.Several people put on their space suits, took some weapons, and descended from the hatch to the ground one by one.

Red dust was flying around them, and the scorching sun was pouring heat crazily above their heads.The space suits of the interstellar era are as thin as ordinary jackets, with good insulation performance, but they still feel a little warmth.That's vision affecting other nerves, sending false signals.

They were pleasantly surprised to find that on the crater not far to the north of the landing site, there were traces of artificial buildings, exposing a corner of the surface, and the regular metal structure reflected the signal of civilization.

The ground vehicle carried by the spaceship turned over the edge of a crater, everyone got off the vehicle, and walked on the rough road to the metal building that had appeared in sight.Along the way, the destination is the desert, which is infinitely desolate.

"There are so many iron oxides." Adelaide sighed, "Can't we have more air?"

"It's not a place for people to live at all." Eloise continued. "Whether life can survive in this place is a question, and the temperature alone cannot meet the requirements."

Li Qing was silent. Along the way, he felt that something was not quite right.But now, this sense of disobedience is getting stronger and stronger.

The second young master stomped his feet, agreeing to Ilois' opinion once in a while. "I think so too, this place is a dead zone—"

"Be careful!!" Li Qing yelled suddenly, and quickly pulled Yoer, who was walking in front, behind him.In the next second, a black shadow flew over from Jorge's position just now, Li Qing had already aimed at it, pulled the trigger, and a beam of laser light was shot into its head precisely.

The thing fell, twitched a few times on the hot ground, and stopped moving.

Only then did everyone see what it was: a twenty-centimeter-long monster with a beetle-like body and a shiny black shell that looked indestructible. The colorful light of toxins; the head is also covered with hard scales, and the most terrifying thing is that it has a human-like face and two red tentacles on its head.

The author has something to say: Manual Aite little angel Moshi - the earth you are comfortably lying on is gone!

Surprised?Is it irritating?Was it unexpected?

By the way, I don’t know how many star systems there are on and near the circle where the earth is located in this article, the two are of course random numbers 233
