Chapter 929 Earth's Past Events

In 2237 of the Old Earth Era, the Prometheus embarked on a voyage carrying one million of the most elite fighters, astronauts and various scientists from various countries in the Old Earth Era, and the goal of their voyage was Andromeda, which is most similar to the solar system galaxy.

The choice of this galaxy was the result of repeated observations by the best astronomical telescopes in the old earth era. They felt that according to the conditions of that galaxy, it was very likely that there would be a planet suitable for human habitation.

It took Prometheus about a year to fly out of the gravitational range of the solar system at normal cruising speed without destroying the gravitational balance of the solar system itself, and then increased the speed by five in half a year by means of space ejection. Ten times, and it is approaching the peak of the normal speed of the universe at the speed of ten times increasing every year.

According to this growth rate, they will be able to reach the limit of the conventional speed of the universe in at most seven years, and maintain this speed of flight, and they will be able to fly to the designated Andromeda galaxy in about thirteen years.

During this process, the spacecraft has always maintained a close connection with the earth, and will send out relevant information every month. Although the information is inferred to be one or two years ago according to the time, the connection has never been broken.

At the same time, the Earth’s immigration to Mars has begun. The first batch of approximately 30 million people began to immigrate to Mars. Their mission is to test the adaptation of human beings to the Martian environment, and transplant the first batch of genetically cultivated environmental plants to conduct a preliminary study on Mars. transformation.

During this process, nearly 10 million people died of environmental adaptation, unknown diseases and accidents, and the remaining 10 million people initially gained a foothold on Mars, and built five Martian cities. Nearly 60% of the environmental plants brought in batches, more than 3,000 kinds of plants have fully adapted to Mars and have begun to multiply. Nearly half of the air in the five Martian cities can already be obtained through the photosynthesis of these plants. Everything seems to be moving toward The best direction to develop.

Under such circumstances, the United Nations Organization in the old earth era began to launch the second phase of the Mars immigration plan. This second phase of the Mars immigration plan is crucial to the entire plan, because their group of immigrants will take on the responsibility of mining ore in the universe. Task.

At that time, the resources in the old earth era had reached their limits. After completing the second phase of the Mars immigration plan, there was no longer any resources to advance the third phase of the plan. We could only mine various resources from the universe and transport them back to Earth through the second phase of the immigration plan. Only by supplementing the vacancies of resources can we continue to advance the immigration plan and ultimately reduce the burden on the earth.

However, during the implementation of the second phase of the Mars immigration plan, a sudden cosmic magnetic storm swept across the solar system, and all communication equipment failed. Still flying in space.

Three years later, the influence of the cosmic magnetic storm on the solar system completely disappeared, and the earth began to contact Mars, and after understanding the situation, they all felt desperate.

The second phase of the Mars immigration spacecraft was completely annihilated in the cosmic magnetic storm, all the equipment on the spacecraft was destroyed, and none of the immigrants on the spacecraft survived.

The defense of the Martian atmosphere cannot be compared with that of the Earth. During the cosmic magnetic storm, various cosmic rays and radiation fell on Mars, and the environmental plants that had survived died in large numbers. damage, among which the most serious damage is the various life support systems.

In the face of the problem of survival, violence inevitably appeared. Wars began to appear within and between the five Mars cities. Later cold weapons, until they were able to contact the earth, only one of the five Martian cities was able to maintain a basic life-support operation, and the population had also been reduced to just over one million, and this one million was not yet one. Divided into more than a dozen factions to occupy different areas of this Martian city, barely able to maintain a state of indestructibility.

In this terrible state, it is a question of whether these more than one million people can live for another ten years, let alone support the earth.

After getting this news, the earth fell into despair, because the spaceship of the second phase of immigrants can take off successfully is the limit of the earth's resources. A spaceship with more than one hundred people cannot do it, not to mention that the cosmic magnetic storm destroyed the earth's communication system, and the political situation and people's livelihood inside the earth have also fallen into chaos, and a world war may break out at any time.

Although feeling desperate, the old earth government still did not give up the last glimmer of hope, and this glimmer of hope was the Prometheus spacecraft flying to Andromeda.

After restarting to receive cosmic signals, the earth also regained the information from the Prometheus. Due to the destruction of the cosmic magnetic storm, the information was incomplete. Fortunately, we did not encounter this wave of cosmic magnetic storm.

From the perspective of the Old Earth government, as long as the Prometheus successfully finds a colony planet in an alien system, there is still hope for everything. Therefore, relying on this last ray of hope, the governments of the Old Earth era maintained a fragile stability and balance.

However, one day three years later, the Old Earth government received a new message from the Prometheus, with only one sentence on it: "We were wrong, we were all wrong, there is nothing here, nothing!"

Although this sentence has no beginning and no end, everyone after seeing this message knows what this message means and what this message represents. The stability maintained by the governments of various countries has completely collapsed. The World War of Doomsday broke out on the third day after the information was released, and on the fourth day all countries in the world, including those as small as a town, were involved in the war.

Later, the Earth Federation government specially investigated the Prometheus incident. Based on various data, they deduced that according to the flight speed of the Prometheus at that time, it should have not reached the target galaxy, and the target galaxy is not as the information said. There is nothing as described, but it is a galaxy environment very suitable for human habitation, as scientists inferred from the old earth era, with as many as three colonable stars and six resource stars.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Prometheus spacecraft can reach the target galaxy, then with the technology on the Prometheus spacecraft, one to three new Prometheus can be replicated within three years, and a large number of Resources are brought back to the earth, and more earth immigrants are transported to relieve the pressure on the earth. Naturally, there will be no doomsday war.

However, not only the source of the information received by the old earth government is unknown, but even the Prometheus spacecraft disappeared on the route.

Even though the Earth Federation used various means to find out, and even invited an Omega-level advanced life form from the Universal Council who could capture cosmic time rays, and asked him to find the answer from the time rays, there was still no clue.

The answer given by the Omega-level advanced life body is that there is a higher form of life body that interferes with the cosmic time ray.

This also made the Earth Federation wonder whether the people in the old earth era were calculated by a certain Omega-level higher life form, but when I think about it, I think I may have thought too much, because if there really are Omega-level higher life forms If the body wants to deal with the earthlings at that time, there is no need to use these methods at all, and it is not difficult to directly destroy the entire solar system.

It is also because of the inexplicable occurrence of all this that the Prometheus has become an unsolvable mystery in the history of the Earth Federation's old earth era. The only thing we can know now is that there are alien races calculating the earth, but in the end it is Which alien race is still a mystery.

Some scientists also believe that the alien race that calculated the earth may have perished in a civilized race war, so that the investigation of the Earth Federation could not find any clues, because all clues disappeared with the extinction of civilization.

When Leo was still a cyborg, he had no interest in these things from the old earth era, he just passively accepted the information, and now when he told Sylvia about the sorted out historical materials, he also re-experienced A review of the changes in the old earth era.

I don't know if it's because of having normal human emotions. In the process of retelling this history, Leo couldn't help feeling some indescribable emotion in his heart.

Even if Leo was like this, the mood swings in the heart of the broken listener Sylvia were even greater. She completely listened to what Leo said as a mythical epic.

In what Leo said, there are a lot of words that seem to be in another language, which she can't understand at all, but just understanding the parts she understands is enough to shock her.

For example, the spacecraft that can fly in the sky with tens of millions of people, such as the ability to transform stars and emigrate to stars, etc., in her eyes, it is like listening to some kind of myth, even if she has seen so many technologies of cosmic civilization, I even saw the Prometheus towering in front of my eyes as a city, but I still couldn't believe it.

Although the two deliberately slowed down, they still came to the entrance gate of Lanxi City when Leo finished describing the end history of the old earth era.

I saw that this city gate should be the material delivery channel on the middle deck of the Prometheus. The transmission deck of the channel has been extended and fell to the ground. Later people reinforced the bottom of the deck, added some stone pillars, and placed them on the deck. There are steps and roads made of stone slabs for easy walking.

According to the rules of Lanxi City, every outsider needs to pay a certain amount of gold-like metal to enter the city. Although this metal is a rare metal in the Black Forest, for those who want to enter the city, this Paying is nothing, so there is still a lively scene of traffic at the gate of the city.

At this time, Sylvia had recovered from the emotions of the history of the old earth era. She looked up at the huge hemispherical spaceship in front of her, and couldn't help asking: "Why is this Prometheus No. will be here?"

"That's what I want to know too." Leo replied calmly.

Leo looked up at the light from the observation windows on the outer wall, and then at the lights projected from the city gate. He was sure that the basic lighting energy of the Prometheus could still function normally even after so many years. This also means that the main control computer in the Prometheus can also be used, and he may be able to get some useful information from it.

However, Leo was also puzzled, because according to the energy system on the Prometheus in his memory, even if it only maintains the lighting of the entire spaceship, it will definitely not be able to last for tens of thousands of years. The auxiliary energy system is the most primitive energy sail. This kind of energy sail can only collect a small part of cosmic rays and light energy. Even if it is not damaged, in the environment of the Black Forest, the energy sail can almost be said to be a decoration.

Therefore, he wondered what was the device that maintained the lighting energy of the entire Prometheus.

Although the behavior of Leo and Sylvia standing by the aisle of the city gate and looking up at Lanxi City was somewhat incompatible with the flow of people passing by around them, they did not attract the attention of the people around them, because there were not a few people who behaved like the two of them In their view, it is doubtful that people who come to Lanxi for the first time are not shocked by the grandeur of Lanxi City.

Leo and Sylvia also used Jinsa to pay the entrance fee. The Lanxi tax officer who was in charge of the collection was a little curious about Jinsa, but he didn't ask much about Jinsa. After all, he had received gold coins in the past. There are also a lot of novelty currencies, and he has seen even weirder currencies, and he has long been familiar with them.

After learning that it was the first time for Leo and Sylvia to come to Lanxi City, he briefly explained the precautions, and then took out a booklet that recorded these precautions and a simple map of Lanxi City, together with The three-day temporary residence permit was also handed over to Leo.

After entering the city, Leo simply flipped through the booklet and found that the map on the booklet was very simple, just marked the locations of the main urban areas and some restricted areas, and most of the content behind the booklet was some sightseeing guide.

Sylvia took the booklet from Leo and looked at it, and quickly discovered the problem with the map, and said, "The area of ​​the map here seems to be much smaller than the actual area of ​​Lanxi City."

"It's less than one-tenth of the actual area." Leo gave a relatively exact figure.

Among the materials in his memory are the construction drawings, equipment drawings and internal structure drawings of the Prometheus, etc. These drawings are so detailed that if there is enough manpower, financial resources and materials, Leo believes that he can also Use these blueprints to rebuild a Prometheus.

It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of the degree of understanding of the Prometheus, the locals in Lanxi are probably far behind him. Just by looking at the blueprint just now, he has already found at least three There are more than ten routes and methods that can avoid any guards in Lanxi City and safely enter the restricted area.
