Chapter 2 History
Due to the accident he encountered, David tossed and turned last night and had trouble falling asleep. Just when he finally fell asleep in a daze, he was awakened by the identity bracelet on his wrist.
The smart housekeeper also entered at this time to remind him that Jessica was already waiting for him at the door.
According to the reminder of the smart housekeeper, David knew that this was his agreement with Jessica to go to the signing event of the new book "War and Love" by the well-known author Burgess.
Originally, he wanted to refuse to participate in this signing event with Jessica, but when he heard that the destination mentioned by the smart housekeeper was a paper bookstore, he immediately decided to go.
The unknown of the world and the lost memory of this body made him eager to get more information, but he didn't even know how to inquire about information in this world, and the paper bookstore became his best choice.
Along the way with Jessica, he also saw that Jessica's attitude towards him is not like a good friend, and when he has been reticent, Jessica's attitude is even worse.
After David agreed, he quickly walked a few steps and came to Jessica's side, his eyes kept looking at everything around him.
Cars hovering on the road, the entire city completely covered by stones, and even the houses are built as strong as fortresses, and there are not even a single window. This weird design makes him feel that this world is extremely unusual. Feel safe.
The bookstore they went to was not far away, so they did not take any means of transportation and walked about three kilometers. At the corner of the street where David lived, David saw a group of people standing in front of the bookstore.
David looked behind him with some anxiety, there was nothing behind him, but in fact there was a strange translucent shadow hidden there.
This was what he discovered after waking up in the basement. When he first discovered this translucent shadow, he almost didn't frighten him to death.
After many experiments, he discovered that this strange translucent shadow was completely following him and was able to move at his command.
Although the only ability that this translucent shadow has shown until now is invisibility and no other abilities, it also relieves the loneliness of his first coming to this world.
David had tested that Jessica could not find the invisible translucent shadow long ago, but there were nearly a hundred people in front of him, and he was still very worried about who would find it.
"We're late, it looks like there's going to be a long queue!" Jessica said with some dissatisfaction.
She got up at seven o'clock for the signing party this time, and it was only before eight o'clock. You must know that she is on vacation now, and she will not wake up until at least nine o'clock every day.
David smiled and didn't speak. He didn't care about signing the book. He wanted to go into the bookstore to find the books he was interested in.
"Don't be crowded, today's signing event will not start in an hour, and Mr. Burgess will be there in a while, please wait in line!" The clerk of the bookstore shouted loudly, trying to maintain order.
"Jessica, I'm going to read inside, so I won't accompany you!" David said to Jessica.
"Go, go!" Jessica waved her hand. At this moment, she also found a few people she knew, and she no longer needed David to accompany her. Although these acquaintances were not friends, they were still friends with them. Compared with the boring David, she would rather choose those few people who are not very familiar.
David feels that the way Jessica treats him has a feeling of treating the spare tire. It seems that his predecessor should be an admirer of Jessica, so Jessica will have such an attitude.
But these have nothing to do with him today, he walked into the bookstore from the scattered line.
Although there are more convenient e-books, it does not affect the sales of paper books, which can be seen from the scale of this bookstore.
The clerk glanced at him and found that he was not trying to cut the line, so he ignored him.
There are more than ten large electronic posters in the bookstore.
Most of them show "War and Love" posters.
The glass walls of the bookstore have good sound insulation. At least the sound of nearly a hundred people outside is not transmitted into the bookstore, which makes the bookstore seem very quiet, which is the best reading environment.
David walked through the bookshelves, which are divided into philosophy, politics, law, military, economics, culture, education, sports, language, art, history, geography, etc. Categorized for the convenience of readers.
David went to the history department and found a book "The History of the Interstellar Federation". After taking the book, he went to the seat next to him, opened the book and read it.
Apart from him, there is no one else in the bookstore. Those who can go to this paper bookstore at this time are all to participate in the signing event of the new book "War and Love" by the well-known author Burgess.
The signing event is held at the door of the bookstore, so there is such a quiet environment.
He opened the "Interstellar Federation History" and saw a sentence on the title page.
"Survival or destruction, the world is on the edge of a cliff!" Federal Marshal Denton.
Thinking about the meaning of this sentence in his mind, David opened the content page of "The History of the Interstellar Federation", and then he saw the history of this world, a magnificent history with iron and blood.
In the year 10116 of the ephemeris, a violent space shock occurred outside the sixteenth spiral arm on the edge of the Interstellar Federation.
This space shock caused an unknown offset in space, overlapping the corners of two universes, the two universes of the Interstellar Federation and the divine universe.
The place where the Interstellar Federation universe overlaps with the divine universe is the 82nd planet of the sixteen spiral arms. Before the two universes do not overlap, the 82nd planet of the sixteen spiral arms is just an ordinary resource that is not well-known. star.
The environment there is harsh, and human beings cannot survive there at all.
But after the two big universes overlapped, the sixteen spiral arm eighty-two planet has undergone wonderful changes. The oxygen content in the atmosphere and the content of various other gases have changed, and it has become a habitable planet.
At the same time, a large amount of kryptonite was discovered in the underground of the 82nd planet of the sixteen spiral arms.
Kryptonite is the main energy of the Interstellar Federation. It is the existence of kryptonite that allows the Interstellar Federation to travel the universe and rule the entire Interstellar Federation universe.
But kryptonite is also the basic energy source of the great universe of the gods. When the two universes overlapped, both parties who were preparing to start negotiations discovered kryptonite on planet 82 of the sixteen spiral arms.
In the nearly 100 years from 10116 to 10200, the two universes have launched a war concerning the survival of the race on the 82nd planet of the sixteen spiral arms.
That war was only briefly mentioned in "The History of the Interstellar Federation", but in those hundred years, the 82nd planet of the sixteen spiral arms was renamed Battle Star from now on, and you can imagine the cruelty of that war.
In the autumn of 10200, in the unstable space above the Battle Star, huge insects appeared one after another. These insects emerged from the space and landed on the Battle Star.
Then, countless worms ranging from human heights to tens of meters in height rushed out of the giant worm's body, and they frantically attacked everything that could be seen.
The battle situation changed in 10200. Neither the Interstellar Federation nor the Divine Universe could resist these powerful bugs alone.
The two sides even discovered that worms can grow by devouring various substances. Human corpses, the wreckage of space battleships, the buildings on the ground, and everything they can see is their food.
In particular, kryptonite mines stimulated them, and whenever the bugs occupied a kryptonite mine, there would be a quantitative explosion.
In 10202, the Zhou Federation signed an alliance contract with the great universe of the gods. Since then, the two universes have jointly opened up a line of defense on the battle star to resist the invasion of insects.
And these bugs are also called Zerg, an incommunicable, predatory and aggressive race.
In the ten thousand years that followed, the battle star became the strong line of defense of the two universes, and countless interstellar federal soldiers fought bloody battles with the soldiers of the great world of the gods.
Of course, the Zerg also impacted the neighboring planets of the two universes in various ways. Although the two universes were constantly intercepting, some Zerg still passed through the defense and entered the nearby planets.
Because the Zerg cannot enter other planets on a large scale, which makes the Zerg unable to truly form a quantitative advantage, and the nearby planets have not formed a large-scale Zerg group because of the centralized cleaning of the Interstellar Federation and the great world of the gods.
But that doesn't mean the Zerg threat has disappeared on these planets. Zerg larvae are extremely difficult to find, and they can hide deep underground while keeping scanning devices from finding them.
At the right time, these larvae can grow into various forms according to the surrounding environment and attack life on the planet.
This kind of endless war has caused a great headache for the Interstellar Federation. More spaceships are built, and more defenses appear in the universe to ensure that farther planets are not affected by the Zerg.
