Chapter 426 Historical Records, “New” Crisis

Chen Ming returned to the Gaia galaxy soon after.

Things appear to be over for the Remnants for now.

They hid in their independent dimension, and there would be absolutely no movement until their queen awakened.

But others don't know this.

The survivors cannot disappear without reason.

So Chen Ming had to go and explain to the Minister of Psychics what had just happened.

After returning to the Gaia galaxy, Chen Ming went directly to the urban planet and found the minister of psychic energy.

The Minister of Psychics was currently in the Governor's Office in the Governor's Mansion, flipping through various documents here.

Seeing Chen Ming walk into the office, he immediately put down the document and asked, "Is it solved?"

"Solved."

"What's the result?"

"The person is not dead yet and is hiding from them, but the things that should be taken have been obtained."

"From today on, all the technologies of Shining Civilization belong to us humans. I will sort them out and share them all later."

The Minister of Psychics restrained some of his familiar attitude towards Chen Ming, and bowed slightly to Chen Ming solemnly.

However, Chen Ming just stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Promote it to the empire as soon as possible. The Machinery Clan will not give us too much time."

"The super body is coming, and the fleet behind it must be coming soon."

"I know."

"Well, also, didn't you ask me to take care of the cultural center before? Now there are results."

"So fast?"

"Yes, the reason is very simple. You will know when you listen to me."

Chen Ming took out the historical document he had found to decipher from the History Office of the Governor's Mansion, put the deciphered content on the terminal, and displayed it.

Previously, he had not shown all the documents that Chen Ming had obtained through psychic repair, including this document, to the Minister of Psychics.

Because those documents allow the survivors to see the special effects of his psychic powers.

But now all the survivors have fled.

The document has been deciphered.

In addition, there are also interactions with Nano and the situation in those ruins.

Chen Ming can completely explain the history of the survivors to the Minister of Psychics through this document.

"Have you seen it?"

"Have seen it."

"What exactly did you say?"

"It's quite interesting. It would be better if you see it for yourself."

Seeing that Chen Ming was showing off, the Minister of Psychics simply lowered his head and looked at the documents on the terminal that Chen Ming placed in front of him.

The content of this document is not an extremely written record of historical facts, but a diary-like log written by someone himself.

[June 57, Shining Year 7178, three years have passed since the war began. 】

[I have been assigned to do this work of compiling and revising the historical diary to ensure that even if we perish, our history will still be passed down. 】

[What you’re saying is, I’m just a small border clerk, but why are you asking me to do this kind of thing? We have no one available anymore? 】

There is a lot of information hidden in just the first paragraph.

The period of the "year" unit of the Shining Civilization is about 1.15 times longer than the human year, because the revolution period of their parent star is 1.15 times longer than the earth.

The parent star has satellites with a 60-day revolution period, so their year has 420 days, one month has 60 days, and one year has seven months, but their rotation periods are almost the same.

This makes Shining Civilization and human civilization actually have relatively similar calendars in basic terms.

The three years of shining civilization are about one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

"It's obviously very unusual that it took so long after the war started for a clerk to record history."

"Either no one in the entire Shining Civilization did this before, or the person who did it has died and all the records have been lost, and the records need to be restarted."

After hearing Chen Ming's words, the psychic minister immediately said: "You don't need to think about it to know what's going to happen next, right?"

"I think so too, and the historical records recorded by this clerk should also be lost. Otherwise, there is no reason to use his records, which can be regarded as diaries, as historical documents."

And this also shows how serious the crisis the Shining Civilization has encountered.

"He said he was the clerk of the Border Star Territory, right?"

Before Chen Ming could respond, the minister continued directly: "There are problems in the core areas, so it is his turn to do this."

"But I have never seen a war in history where a foreign invasion started from the core."

"What Shining Civilization encountered should not be an external enemy, but an internal rebellion."

"right."

Chen Ming simply responded and motioned for the minister to continue reading.

[On July 23, Shining Year 7178, I still don’t have much information, but from the conversations between the team leader and the minister in the unit, it seems that the situation on the front line is really bad to the extreme. 】

[More than 50% of the entire Shining Star Territory has been occupied by the enemy. They were still discussing the enemy-occupied area, but I was discovered and driven away before I could finish listening. 】

[The higher ups seem to be hiding a lot of things from the lower levels like us. I still can’t even determine how many enemies there are on the front lines. 】

【Definitely no less. 】

The time of this blog is more than thirty days apart from the previous one.

In fact, there are some records in the intervening period, but they are all daily nonsense, and they are all complaints.

Complain about God, complain about superiors, complain about the mechanical clan, complain about why you took on this job.

However, there seems to be no complaints about his own life between the lines.

The logs of these complaints were half-hidden records in Shining Civilization's documents, so Chen Ming directly skipped them and turned directly to the record of the clerk talking about war-related matters.

"In three years, half of the Shining Civilization was occupied. The scale of this rebellion is quite big."

The psychic minister said something and continued reading.

[On February 2, Shining Year 7179, we were attacked. 】

[I originally thought the war was still far away from me, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon. 】

[The team leader is dead. Death is ugly. He dragged half of his body and asked us to evacuate underground. 】

[The minister was crippled and was dragged underground by me and another clerk. He barely managed to recover half of his life. 】

[Everyone else seems to be dead. 】

[After all, this building collapsed, so the four of us were lucky enough to be outside and not buried directly. You can also take the opportunity to run away. 】

[There is only one question in my mind at this time, where is the Queen? 】

"The clerk must have been in the safe rear at the beginning. Although he may have changed his location, he must have been near the border.

"It has only been more than four months since it has affected him. The enemies of Shining Civilization are progressing a little too fast."

"Speaking of which, where is the Queen of Shining Civilization?"

Chen Ming still didn't answer the question, but just said: "You will know after reading it."

[On April 44, Shining Year 7179, I recovered from my injuries. Only when I started taking up this job did I realize how troublesome this job was. 】

[What I was doing was just scrap work, but the team leader died. I became the team leader. I was exposed to a lot of information that I had no access to before, and I also had to take on a lot of responsibilities that I didn’t need to bear before. 】

[In the first few days when I first became a team leader, I saw the information that I couldn’t see before, which really made me have the nightmare of my life. 】

[I’m really tired, but there’s nothing I can do about it. 】

[The enemy penetrates into every aspect of us, making this war difficult to handle from the root. 】

[And their methods are extremely cruel. I really can't understand why they are like this. 】

[Who can I ask? You can only forget these things if you immerse yourself completely in your work. 】

The Minister of Psychics already had suspicions at this time, but he was not sure yet.

[On June 33, Shining Year 7179, the minister died. As a sequelae of the last time, a new minister came, and I took the position of deputy minister. 】

[I was promoted so quickly during the war, but I couldn't be happier at all. 】

[Not only because I will die, but also because of the news about the Queen. 】

[The Queen said she was going into hibernation and would no longer be able to take care of the Empire. 】

[At this time, the Queen...]

[I really want to say something, but I dare not. 】

"Hibernation? Only the strongest psyker of the Shining Civilization can be the ruler, right? Is one of the strongest psykers dormant at this time?"

"Mailing yourself by fighting their enemies?"

Chen Ming spread his hands and said: "As far as I know, the Queen of Shining Civilization never seems to appear on the battlefield, and no one knows the reason for her dormancy."

"What..."

[On January 1, Shining Year 7180, in the new year, the Queen was confirmed to have disappeared, but a successor to the Queen emerged, and the remaining resistance forces were under his leadership. 】

[He said he found a powerful means to deal with this war. 】

[I am not a psychic. I don’t know if what he said is true or false. I hope it is true. 】

[In this way, at least our historical records are not simply about being beaten unilaterally, but we can at least resist. 】

The minister quickly skipped this record and looked at the next paragraph.

[January 3, Shining Year 7180, the Queen’s successor is really capable! 】

[He really succeeded in containing the enemy's attack. A large amount of flesh and blood tissue appeared out of thin air on each enemy's body. Although it was disgusting, it was effective. 】

[As a result, the main weapon we are currently using is not easy to use on the battlefield, and I don’t know if the successor can handle it alone. 】

[Others seem to have known about this power for a long time. They are not surprised, they are worried. 】

"Is this the Scarlet Power?"

"Yes, only Scarlet's power can achieve such an effect."

"But I heard that the Shining Civilization is very resistant to the scarlet power."

"Who did you listen to?"

"Brainwashing psykers."

"..."

The minister seemed to have expected something when he heard this.

[On February 12, Shining Year 7180, the situation is improving. 】

[On April 9, Shining Year 7180, the successor never came back in the process of gaining stronger power. The base area that had been recaptured was once again captured by the machine race. 】

[The machine race gave up that place soon after, but none of the troops we sent out to reoccupy that place came back alive. 】

[There was no response from the teams before and after. Later I heard that the situation over there was only a blood red color when scanned from a long distance. 】

[No one paid attention to it after that, and no one wanted to know what happened there. 】

The Minister of Psychiatry's expression became more solemn and he said: "Dimensional infection."

"Hmm."

Chen Ming knew more than the minister, and could probably guess what happened in the past.

As the successor of the Queen, the strongest psychic in the Shining Civilization at that time should be besides the Queen, and of course he could not watch the Shining Civilization fall.

He could only choose to use the most extreme means to save Shining.

Rely on Scarlet, master Scarlet.

But the power of Scarlet is extremely dangerous, even Chen Ming almost died in it several times.

This psychic was either killed by Scarlet, or encountered the Scarlet creature belonging to him, anyway, he died in the Scarlet dimension.

The remaining Scarlet is naturally unmanaged, and of course it will expand naturally.

The final outcome... who knows what it will become.

At least the normal universe has not been destroyed yet, which means that those Scarlets have been dealt with after all.

[June 11, 7180, Shining Year, I am now more than just the Minister of the Ministry of History and Culture, the entire Ministry of Culture... should now be called the Ministry of Civilization. 】

【The people in the Ministry of Civilization have been replaced in batches, and they have fled with the main force again and again. I don’t know how many people have died. Now I am the one with the longest seniority here. 】

【But it doesn’t matter. The product we designed has sent us into the abyss. 】

【The empress and the imperial system have become a thing of the past. Civilization has completely collapsed. We must find another way out. 】

"Sure enough... it's the mechanical race."

Chen Ming confirmed: "The mechanical race of the Shining Civilization is very developed. There are mechanical races in almost all the territories of the Shining Civilization, scattered in different places."

"The rebellion will happen suddenly, and of course the final scale will be very large. The mechanical race sent their creator to hell."

"If Yuhui had not rebelled, but endured, we might have the same ending."

"Remember what I said just now, that the scarlet power prevented the Shining from using weapons? Their biological weapons are actually the Thorn Zerg."

"Is there such a thing?"

"There is such a thing."

[On June 13, 7180 of the Shining Era, the entire team was semi-paralyzed for a few days. I finally had two days of free time to check historical documents. 】

[A wormhole leading to a distant star field, 】

[The war started halfway through the development and preparation. There might be a chance there. 】

[I have reported this news to those responsible for the war, and there should be a reply tomorrow. 】

【June 14, 7180 Shining Year, the report I submitted made many people regain their fighting spirit, and they all checked the history of their respective departments. 】

【Although our military strength is almost enough, we also discovered a Guardian plan in the early stage of the war. Although it has not been implemented, perhaps we can try it. 】

"Leviathan?"

"Yes."

【July 29, 7180 Shining Year, many people sacrificed, but it was worth it. 】

【We have the power to temporarily compete with the enemy. We summoned the fleet to evacuate the last piece of homeland, passed through the wormhole, and came to the new world. 】

【The population counted is only a few billion. 】

【From trillions to more than a billion...】

【February 45, 7181 Shining Year, the enemy also discovered the wormhole, as expected, but we no longer have the power to fight them. 】

【The Guardian has suffered heavy losses during our evacuation. 】

【Someone proposed an idea, maybe we can give it a try. 】

【On June 6, 7181 in the Shining Year, the experiment of converting stars into black holes and inducing the emergence of black hole creatures was successful. This is good news. We don't have to continue to protect the wormhole with our lives. 】

【But there is also bad news. 】

【There is a problem with our reproductive ability. 】

【It is not a sequelae of war, but a special genetic virus. 】

【None of the remaining billions of people has not been infected with this virus. 】

【The Queen's successor has warned us before that we must never use cloning technology to expand the population. 】

【We have worked so hard for so long, is it going to end here? 】

After the end of this log, there was no new log for a long time.

Until five years later.

【On January 1, 7186 in the Shining Year, we made a great decision. 】

【We decided to record all people's consciousness and upload it to the Internet, and at the same time provide all citizens with a nano-mechanized body. 】

【We went through a long discussion and technical research before finally deciding to do this. 】

【This is the most efficient way for us to continue to exist. 】

The minister's expression suddenly changed, and he asked: "Did you tell me before that the city planet was originally full of broken nanorobots that looked like sand?"

"Yes."

"Then..."

"Just as you thought."

Some of those yellow sand-like nanorobots are the nanorobots that make up the city planet.

But there may also be countless bodies of people from the Shining Civilization.

"This..."

"It was quite scary when I first knew about it, but it's nothing. I can't repair my psychic power. Those people from the Shining Civilization are completely dead. At most, I just recycled some materials."

"Well..."

[March 13, 7187 Shining Year, after 553 days, everyone's consciousness has been successfully uploaded, and we have completely entered the era of nanotechnology. ]

[Our ideal city has also begun construction. We want to build a planet that contains everything Shining. ]

[Its official scientific name is Urban Planet, but we all like to call it Ideal City. ]

[It is the spark of hope for Shining Civilization to revive. It is not the Shining Civilization of the Queen, but the Shining Civilization of our survivors. ]

In between, there is another long blank.

This time it is not because the clerk is being chased around by the mechanical race, but because he is one of the current top leaders of Shining Civilization and really has no free space to record these.

[May 23, 7196 Shining Year, "Integrate the world into one city, and cast one city for the world." ]

After nine years, the construction of the ideal city was completed.

But just after this record of the completion of the construction of the ideal city.

The log suddenly stopped.

Only the last sentence was recorded on it.

[Traitor. 】

The log ends here, but the history of the Shining Civilization does not end here.

It is obvious that the situation is clear. The survivors are the betrayers of the survivors of the Shining Civilization.

The survivors are the means left by the Queen.

The survivors are not completely wiped out. Some of them still escaped from the Ideal City and went to the place where Chen Ming discovered the Shining Cultural Memorial Hall and built that building.

This is the past of the Shining Civilization.

History is rediscovered today.

The Shining Civilization can be said to have been destroyed by the double disasters of the Scarlet Invasion and the Mechanical Rebellion.

Scarlet, Chen Ming can suppress it now. Although there is no way to deal with it completely, as long as he is alive and exists in the Empire for one day, Scarlet will not invade the Empire.

But the Mechanical Clan...

That is indeed a huge trouble.

Moreover, the Empire has to face another survivor who can now be called a natural disaster.

Although Chen Ming said it very arrogantly before, he knew that the Queen's power was indeed extremely powerful.

He must prepare countermeasures.

In the entire empire, I am afraid that only he can confront the Queen.

After letting the minister digest it for a while, Chen Ming suggested: "Let's go back first."

"Although the space station was taken away by them, if he is here, it is equivalent to leaving the space station behind. We can find someone to record the necessary information later."

The minister asked in confusion: "Who?"

Many nanorobots gathered around Chen Ming, forming a human-shaped structure.

"Nano, the one that the survivor talked to us."

"..."

"But this nano is only half, and the other half of the nano is still with the survivor."

"But they don't know what I did yet, they will definitely keep hiding."

The minister nodded: "It seems that the matter of the survivor can come to an end."

A few hours later.

Gaia Planet, Gaia Orbital Space Station.

A young man was sitting on the sofa in Tian Zhan's office, shivering anxiously, looking outside the office from time to time, with an extremely nervous expression.

At this moment, Lao Yao, who was arranged by Chen Ming to pay more attention to Tian Zhan's physical condition, ran in and asked Tian Zhan behind the desk: "Old Tian, ​​don't you want to go and take a look?"

He pointed outside and saw a group of people gathered at the edge of the space station, observing the urban planet that appeared near the orbit of Gaia through the porthole of the space station.

Tian Zhan shook his head and said, "I've seen it, it's quite shocking."

"Yeah, a ball suddenly appeared next to it for a few hours. Who wouldn't be confused? And there's more than just the ball, there are also the bodies of the Leviathans."

"Director Wang next door opened a bet, betting that the director killed a few Leviathans in a place we can't see, and when the space station of those Leviathans will be built. Are you interested?"

Tian Zhan shook his head again and said, "No, I have to pick up my daughter from school later."

"Oh, just playing around. I saw that he has set up more than a hundred Leviathans over there, so I threw five dollars in to play around."

The young man next to him suddenly asked boldly, "That... Team Leader Tian... Aren't you afraid?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

"The sky curtain outside has been removed, which means that the matter is over."

Old Yao patted his shoulder and said, "Yes, yes, young people are not very brave, they need to go out more and see more."

Tian Zhan suddenly raised his hand to signal Old Yao to count the sound, and then answered the phone.

The call came from his men who were sent out to search for plants in other galaxies.

"Team Leader Tian, ​​help! Our spaceship was shot down and the space station was bombed. Only the shelter is safe, but it won't be safe for long."

"What's going on?"

"It's the Mechanic Clan."
