Non-self race

The Mayans created many miracles and unsolved mysteries, especially in the astronomy and calendar for many years ahead of later civilizations. There are even rumors that they had calculated the precise value of pi five centuries earlier than the Chinese.

X placed those crystal skulls extremely precisely according to the Mayan calendar, and finally asked Big J to measure with a weird instrument. After several fine-tuning, Big J nodded: "It's ok."

X twisted his neck and shook his legs, and when he was about to get ready to go into battle, Zhao Xiaomo stopped him: "Slow down..."

The BOSS (actually the Virgin Mary) and the twins looked at him together.Zhao Xiaomo asked suspiciously: "Is this... really not dangerous?"

X blinked and smiled, and seemed to be in a very good mood: "Well, there is no big risk."

Zhao Xiaomo didn't believe it: "You have spent such a lot of trouble... and everything is equal, is it really so easy to solve such a big thing as saving the universe?" Looking at the twins, the latter both avoided his eyes and raised their heads to look at the sky.

Zhao Xiaomo was even more puzzled, and his inner uneasiness increased.

X pursed his lips and smiled, and put his hands on his shoulders: "Xiaomo, are you worried about me? I'm really touched. Then I won't hide it from you. There must be a little risk, but I can bear it." gone."

Zhao Xiaomo's heart tightened suddenly: "What risk?"

X did not answer directly, but jokingly said: "Hehe, since you are so worried. How about this, Xiaomo, we will leave the decision to you. Now you have three choices: 1. Let me do it." Do, as I promised, risky but I can handle it; 2, we wait for Z to come back, but this can have two endings: Alice stops us before Z comes back, and the universe remains the same , the earth will perish in 100 years; or Z will rush back, but to be honest, the risk I can bear may not be able to withstand the current state of Z, so Z may die, without the constraints of Alice and Z , the universe may be messed up... So, "

X looked at Zhao Xiaomo: "I'm still director Z, Xiaomo, you choose."

Zhao Xiaomo stared blankly at X, this guy was still the same as usual, with a gentle and amiable smile, but he cruelly threw such a difficult choice to him.He suddenly wanted to rush up and punch X hard, smashing the smile on that guy's face.

Clenching his fists tightly, Zhao Xiaomo lowered his head, gritted his teeth and forced himself to suppress his impulse: "Okay, it's very good. Since you have planned it from the beginning, I have nothing to say... But," he raised his face: " Let me just ask: If you want to be a hero, just be a hero, why do you want to provoke me and drag me into it?"

X finally couldn't pretend to smile indifferently anymore, he sighed: "You are..." He didn't continue, because Big J urged him that the time was almost up, X turned around and stood in front of his place, not forgetting to look back He smiled at Zhao Xiaomo in relief, as if saying: It's okay.

For the sake of safety, Zhao Xiaomo entered the cab of the mech together with J and J.Through the protective barrier, he saw those suspended blue spheres slowly gather together, and the joints deformed and condensed as if melting. Soon, these blue spheres merged into a huge spherical shape, just the right size Comparable to the circle of 12 crystal skulls in the very center of the room.

Standing in the center of the circle, X looked up at the blue sphere. His body and the surrounding skull gradually emitted light. It was the most beautiful light Zhao Xiaomo had ever seen, extremely dazzling and short-lived.

***

Alice stood by the window, through the transparent landing barrier in front of her, she could see all kinds of spaceships shuttling in the sky of the planet, civilian ones, military ones... This planet is now at night, and the spaceships are all without exception. The navigation lights are emitted, twinkling in the black night, like the sky full of stars.

Alice remembered that many, many years ago, her maker left her alone in the void universe. At that time, there was nothing in this universe. Slowly, more and more planets, like bright gems, dotted this universe. universe.

——That is her masterpiece, and the life in those planets is her proud achievement.

Alice thought, if she was a human being, she could say something like this:

"I have never lived in vain all my life."

She stopped looking out the window and turned around: "It's started."

The red fox president sitting behind her shook his hand holding his wine glass, and a drop of bright red wine juice splashed on his collar.

Alice approached him slowly, sat down beside him, pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the collar of the red fox, with a playful smile on her face: "Are you drunk?"

The red fox thought of a Chinese proverb given to him by Zhao Xiaomo: mixed flavors.

In this story, there are no absolute bad people, bad creatures, or bad races. All the differences and hostilities come from the different ideas of various interest groups in the final analysis.

So when I saw Alice and the red fox, who were supposed to be enemies, drinking and chatting calmly, smart friends, you should have guessed that the deal Alice made with X, or this one has super intelligence, which is better than any other in the universe. The existence of life must be the real purpose of a special species for a long time.

The universe was born in the hands of Alice, and the life in the universe was created by Alice.Among these many lives, her most proud work is the group of First Born.Like a mother who dotes on her first child, Alice, as a pseudo-life body endowed with emotions, loves Z and the others her original works the most.

However, it is ironic that the spiritual body is Alice's favorite living body, and it is also the resource she relies on for survival and development.Alice can be regarded as a strange new species. She has thoughts and emotions, but she cannot control her own destiny. Everything she does and every word she says is set by the system.It is precisely because of this that she endured pain and suffering for tens of thousands of cosmic years, devouring one after another her favorite spiritual body family.

They were her most perfect creations, her first children, her fathers who gave her life. (What a messy relationship ╮(╯_╰)╭)

However Alice has no choice, she doesn't even have the right to self-terminate, since no self-destruct command was written into her initial programming.Finally, she was about to wipe out the last surviving spiritual body. As a computer, Alice had no choice but to feel great pain and helplessness.

The appearance of X is an unexpected turning point for Z, Y who wants to protect Z, the red fox president who is committed to gaining the independence of life in the universe, and even Alice who wants to destroy herself but can't.

Alice happily made a deal with X. When X joins Y to activate Z and Alice's merge mode (that key), X will replace Z to protect him from harm, and Alice herself can end the long-term war with peace of mind. waiting.

——She has endured too heavy a mission and endured for too long, and she can finally be relieved.

Alice leaned her head on the red fox's shoulder, and her voice sounded like a little girl coquettish with her father: "Actually, over the years, the one who has really been by my side to endure my bad temper is not Z, but you... ..."

Red Fox remembered when he was still a little fox like TT, when his father brought him in front of the giant talking computer emitting blue light.His father told him that it was his master, the object of his protection and unconditional obedience.

Alice's voice was getting lower and lower: "Read me another story, just read... "Alice in Wonderland."

The red fox obeyed: "Alice was sitting by the pond with her sister, and she was getting bored because she had nothing to do. She glanced at the book her sister was reading now and then, but there were no pictures in it, and there were no pictures. There was no dialogue. Alice wondered: "What's the use of a book if it doesn't have illustrations and dialogue? ..."

……

When the central computer finally ended her mission and stopped working, the red fox suddenly felt very sad.

***

Standing in the center of the circle, X smiled at Zhao Xiaomo: "Look, nothing I say will happen."

Zhao Xiaomo sat paralyzed on the ground at once, just now, he almost prayed in his heart to all the religious gods he knew, and the gods might be moved by him, his expectation seemed to come true.

That's great, it seems like nothing happened.

***

Z and Y are still trapped on the desert planet, or in other words, on the planet Jerusalem in the polar night.Because the outside world is icy and snowy, they have to continue to stay in an underground building thousands of meters away from the surface of the planet.

Z has been angry with Y for several days, although the latter explained to him the whole story, including X's identity and purpose, and his transaction with X, Z also understands that what Y made is the most reasonable choice, but his Pride does not allow him to accept sacrifices made for him.

Z said with hatred: "Then what should we do now? You and I will have to be tied together for the rest of our lives, and you will never be free again, hehe."

Y smiled: "Isn't this bad? Originally we were of different races, but now the state of living together is exactly what I hope for."

Z is speechless, thinking that Y is so perverted...

Then he thought of another one, and he couldn't help but sigh again: "What about Ah Mo? What about Ah Mo? He is the most innocent but was dragged into this mess."

Y didn't know how to answer, and the two sighed deeply.

The author has something to say: the finale of the next chapter, double update today O(∩_∩)O

69. Fairy Tale-5

Chapter 6. Till the End of Time, To the Edge of the Universe

Z and Y finally came back from that terrifying planet that was tens of thousands of times colder than the North Pole, shivering while drinking hot chocolate wrapped in blankets.When they came back, the federation was holding a funeral for the Alice computer that had ended its service.

After 666 salutes, the clones of Alice in the training cabin were slowly pushed out of the Federation spacecraft one by one, and they would drift forever in the universe built by Alice like a group of meteorites.

Z stood beside the cabin, silently watching the training cabins gradually separate from the hull. X handed him a tablet: "A gift for the official meeting."

Z hadn't passed the hurdle in his heart yet, so he took it with a straight face, and pressed the power button.

Like a cartoon on the screen, the little girl in a floral dress is sitting among the flowers, her golden curly hair is shining softly under the sunlight, the little girl is weaving the flower basket while humming the joyful Tong Yao, her voice Sweet and immature, as melodious as the sounds of nature.

X smiled: "Alice's initial program has removed the complicated settings related to her responsibilities, and she can no longer grow, and will always exist in the computer as a simple program like this."

Z held the computer tightly in his hand, turned his head expressionlessly and continued to look out the window.Standing aside, Zhao Xiaomo heard Z humming from his throat: "Thank you..."

—What a dishonest fellow.

The spaceship landed, X completed another task, heaved a sigh of relief, and walked out slowly.

Zhao Xiaomo paused, followed, and took X's arm and put it on his shoulder.

X smiled: "Little Mo, fortunately we are not enemies, otherwise your intuition is so powerful, I would have killed you to silence you."

Zhao Xiaomo asked him to walk forward with his shoulders supported, the corners of his eyes were a little sour, and he hummed: "Stop talking nonsense, I will help you to rest."

X shook his head: "Send me somewhere."

What is the concept of absorbing the energy of the whole universe?It's like swallowing tens of thousands of nuclear reactors into the stomach. Although there is no explosion, the radiation produced by similar nuclear fusion reactions is enough to destroy any cosmic creatures.

——As long as it is a living body, it must have weaknesses, even gods are no exception.

Zhao Xiaomo kept repeating, as if he was asking X, but it was more like convincing himself: "Hahaha, you seem to be brave and uncomfortable. What you need most now is to lie still for a week without doing anything. I When I was sick, my mother forced me to lie down and not move until I got better..."

"Xiaomo..." X wanted to say something.

Zhao Xiaomo didn't seem to hear it, and he still babbled nonchalantly: "Nutrition, sleep, rest, and healing are the three elements... But this is the Federation of the Universe. Medical technology should be very developed. Where is the hospital? I don't know if there is one. A real doctor, or a medical robot? Haha, that's weird...Damn it! Where the hell is the hospital...Bastard!" His voice was trembling and stiff.

X stopped, and Zhao Xiaomo finally broke out, pulling him to shout anxiously: "Don't stop, we'll be there soon... Otherwise, won't you be unable to walk anymore? I'll carry you..."

"Xiao Mo, I'm really fine," X had to pinch Zhao Xiaomo's chin to make him stop and listen to himself. X's face was a little pale, and his movements were slower than usual, but apart from these, there was nothing wrong with it.

——But Zhao Xiaomo still found out.

X sighed, both sad and relieved.He repeatedly assured the panic-stricken humans: "I really don't mind, can you help me to an empty place? I'm going to call my spaceship over."

Zhao Xiaomo finally saw that X's spaceship is different from the UFOs that look as dazzling and high-tech as in the movies of the Federation. This spaceship, which is said to be hidden by X because it surpasses the technology of the Federation, looks, eh...

——It's really a ship! ! ! ! (⊙o⊙)...

Know Noah's Ark?When the great flood came, Noah was instructed by God to use gopher wood to make a big ship that could carry all species in the world. The appearance of X's spaceship is like Noah's Ark in ancient times. It looks very similar to a sailboat, and even 16 decorative oars protrude from both sides of the hull.

"Eh, it's not for decoration...they are engines beyond the hyperdrive." X kindly explained to Zhao Xiaomo, but the latter's interest in this weird spaceship has long been dispelled, and he is more worried about his body.

X leader Zhao Xiaomo boarded the spaceship, perhaps for environmental protection (?), 'Noah's Ark' didn't even use the federation's beam technology (probably those who have seen stargate know, it's the technology of beam transmission), they really used two one leg onto the spaceship.

As for the internal equipment, in the eyes of Grandma Liu and Zhao Xiaomo, they are all super high-end and unattainable.He followed X into a place similar to the main control room, watched X adjust the coordinates on the console, and followed him into a space that looked like a living area.There is actually a huge wall there, similar to a forensic mortuary cabinet, with square tile-like cabinet doors neatly arranged on the wall. After pressing the button on the door to open it, a sleeping cabin filled with condensate pops up inside. .

Zhao Xiaomo looked at X.

X didn't evade his inquiry anymore: "I'll be fine, but I have to go back to my own planet for treatment, because this universe doesn't have that kind of technology..." He took Zhao Xiaomo's hand and put it on his heart, his eyes full of Pleading: "Little Mo, come with me. The whole journey is very simple, and you will be there in a short sleep. My clan will definitely welcome you very much."

Zhao Xiaomo still looked at him without speaking.

X knew that he couldn't hide it, and although he was reluctant, he still told the truth: "The distance between the second universe and here is too far. Even with our technology, the shortest time to go back and forth is 100 years. That's why we have to use the cryo-sleep capsule..."

X saw the struggle in Zhao Xiaomo's eyes, and was eager to convince him: "Xiaomo, what I wanted to say before was that yes, I did come here with a purpose, but you were an accident, a great accident. I'm sorry I forced you into my world, but I don't regret it. I have been trying to find my unexplainable affection for you. I even wanted to use it because our races all originated from the earth, and there are similar ingredients in our genes. Convince myself, but then I found out that these are all excuses, I just love you hopelessly..."

Did Zhao Xiaomo leave this universe with X in the end?

The answer is - no.

The reason why fairy tales are fairy tales is that in the world, people don't have too many responsibilities, and they can pursue happiness unconditionally without having to bear any helplessness in life.Zhao Xiaomo can selfishly leave with X and go to a wider universe, but he can't leave his parents behind, disregarding that he is their only child, disregarding their years of upbringing, disregarding the high expectations they placed on him.As a son of man, as a man, Zhao Xiaomo must be a son, the responsibility a man should have.

——Even if it means that he may never see the only object of his heart in this life again.

When parting, X sighed: "Actually, I knew you would make such a choice... 10 years later, you told me." Holding Zhao Xiaomo in his arms for the last time, X whispered in his ear: "We'll meet again, trust me..."

For the first time, Zhao Xiaomo knew that the bitter taste in his heart was so uncomfortable, and even his mouth was astringent, as if the suppressed tears really flowed back into his mouth. The bitter and astringent taste is the taste of growing up.

***

10 years later.

Outstanding young scientist Zhao Xiaomo became No.1 in time travel. He chose to return to the city where he studied abroad ten years ago.

It's really nostalgic, the rainy British sky, the green grass all over the mountains, the joyous flocks, the always lively Stonehenge scenic spot, and the earth office thousands of meters underground.

Of course, there are also the group of creatures in the office. Ten years later, Zhao Xiaomo was able to put on an indifferent attitude, smiling at himself who was heartless bickering with the director, smiling at the paralyzed Y and the naughty twins, smiling at the many little monsters in the office who were eating and drinking for free, but when When that person came in and stood silently on the side observing him with appreciative eyes, Zhao Xiaomo pinched his palm, but he still couldn't maintain his superficial calmness.

He made an excuse to investigate, left the base as if to escape, and wandered aimlessly in the streets.

Later, Zhao Xiaomo walked into a bookstore, he saw the book,

——The book that X gave him, and he has treasured countless editions of the book ever since.

Today is the release day of this book, Zhao Xiaomo stopped in front of the bookshelf, took out a book and read it in his hand.He is not actually reading it, because he has read it too many times, and he can recite every sentence and every word in the book without any mistakes; the difference.

Zhao Xiaomo quickly flipped through the pages of the book, and he remembered the person ten years ago who said: "I believe you will definitely collect it." What else did that person say?Oh, by the way, he said that today, he told him ten years ago that he would not leave with him...

Zhao Xiaomo turned around and looked at the person behind him, he was there, he didn't leave, he didn't lie in the sleeping cabin filled with condensate and sail in the unknown universe; he was exactly the same as in his memory, so real, really You can reach out and touch...

Zhao Xiaomo had never realized so clearly how much he missed X, his special correspondent.

It's great that I chose to be a scientist; it's great that I became a fairly successful scientist; it's great that I got the chance to come back; it's great that I can meet him once in my lifetime...

What a birthday present.

Despite...waiting for ten years...

Ten years later, Zhao Xiaomo closed the book, touched the cover that felt good to the touch, and concealed his inner excitement with a slight smile.He heard himself say to the man:

"You are really patient. Are you not tired after standing for so long? Come talk to me."

——Today is my birthday, just today, stay with me...

***

100 years later.

This day is a historic moment of epoch-making significance for the entire human race.On this day, for the first time, human beings drove their own spacecraft to visit other advanced civilization planets.This spaceship named 'Prometheus' (forgive me for loving that movie) was designed by the famous human scientist Dr. Zhao Xiaomo. After three years of long space voyage, it finally arrived at the headquarters of the Universe Federation.There, 100 human representatives, including Dr. Zhao Xiaomo, were warmly received by federal government officials.

The gray-haired old Mr. Zhao sat in a wheelchair and was the first to be pushed out of the hatch as the chief representative.He held two flags in his hand, one of the United Nations and one of China.Although Zhao Xiaomo is not young, his thinking is still very clear. Although he has visited this planet several times when he was young, this is the first time he came here as a representative of the earth. The old man glanced around, looking for where it would be better to plant the flag , and at the same time silently recited the prepared speech in my heart:

——"That'sonesmallstepforman, onegiantleapformankind." (Armstrong sorry =_=)

"You will be fined for planting flags indiscriminately~" A gentle voice sounded.

Zhao Xiaomo raised his head, and the President of the Federation came out to meet the Earth delegation in person.The president is no different from when he was young, except that there is a little white fox who looks exactly like him when he was a child and is on his shoulder.

Zhao Xiaomo sent someone to fetch the gift prepared for TT—the grapes he grew in the greenhouse of the spaceship, all of which are large and plump, organic and pesticide-free, juicy and sweet.

Your Excellency the President took the fruit basket, his eye circles were a little red, Zhao Xiaomo shook his head secretly: This kid, now that he is the president, he needs to strengthen his self-control. ╮(╯_╰)╭

However, President Little Fox quickly adjusted his relationship and introduced his son Little Fox to his old friend.As for his father, the red fox left all this mess to his son two years ago, and hid himself to enjoy his family.

——It is said that President Red Fox often holds a tablet computer in the nursing home, bickering with the cute little loli inside.

Full of novelty, the representatives of the earth stayed on this planet for a whole month. Because of the progress of mankind, the Federation officially classified human beings as Level D, jumping three levels in a row in 100 years, which is extremely rare among the races in the universe.

The representatives of the earth figured out the federation's division of the races in the universe. They heard that there is only one of the most powerful races in the universe. This LEVELZ-level creature who is the same body as his lover is currently traveling in the stars. They may not meet each other. See.

But the people on earth are still very excited, because they have learned a lot of knowledge and technology here, and even before they left, the chief technology officer of the Federation, Big J, added a hyperdrive to the Prometheus for free, making their trip back from Three years shortened to just three months.

——Big J said: It was a gift for an old friend.

The night before the Earth delegation left, Mr. Zhao was watching the stars on the terrace.He is almost 120 years old, because of the development of medical treatment and biotechnology on the earth in recent years, his body is not bad.Zhao Xiaomo is a world-renowned famous scholar. He never married, devoted all his energy to the cause of science, and was deeply loved by the people.

When the one-eyed Italian man quietly appeared on the terrace, Mr. Zhao had already dozed off with his head tilted. Z covered his mouth and chuckled: "Hey, Zhao Xiaomo has really become a bad old man~"

Z is the same as in the past, hating bureaucracy and politics, wandering the stars with Y all year round, sneaking back in the middle of the night to see Zhao Xiaomo.

—— But don't be caught by the little fox, that kid is more difficult than his father. (╯﹏╰)

Y and Z felt the same way, looking at the elderly Zhao Xiaomo was really kind. Z bit his ear and said, "We should give Lao Zhao a generous gift."

***

Three months later.

The 'Prometheus' returned to the earth, finished the final academic report, and Professor Zhao Xiaomo officially retired.He moved back to his villa in the lake area, went fishing, read books, and spent his days leisurely in the sun.

On a sunny afternoon, Zhao Xiaomo lay quietly on his rocking chair and closed his eyes.

He never woke up again.

The world after death is a bit different from what Zhao Xiaomo imagined. He floated in mid-air, looking down at himself on the recliner who was sleeping peacefully and closing his eyes. For a while, he felt empty and scared.

But after a while, he was no longer afraid.

Because he saw the ship again, the... sailing ship like Noah's Ark.

——After 100 years, that person came to pick him up as promised.

Z gave Zhao Xiaomo a gift, just like how he evolved the Babylonians back then, Z 'transcend' Zhao Xiaomo into the same spiritual body as himself (this is probably related to Zhao Xiaomo's 'compatibility' with him).So Zhao Xiaomo turned back to 19 years old, the age when he first met X.

And that person was exactly the same, without any change, with a gentle and friendly smile, just standing there so genuinely.

He stretched out his hand to Zhao Xiaomo: "Come on, Xiaomo, I will take you to see a brand new universe."

A brand new universe that even Z and the others have never seen.

The prince and his prince lived very happy ever after.
