Just when the commander of the fleet wanted to make up for his mistake and shoot more probes to monitor the earth's surface.

The babies in the mountain village elementary school didn't realize that their virtual life form had just saved the entire solar system in a huge warship.

In the dilapidated classrooms, they just looked at the empty podium and wept.

I don't know how long I cried, but the babies finally quieted down.

"Let's go to the village and tell the adults. Guo Cuihua sobbed.

"What are we talking about?" Liu Baozhu lowered his head and said, "The adults in the village have always been tired of the teacher, tell them that the teacher is gone, and they won't help us find it!"

In the end, the babies decided to find their own teachers.

They grabbed flashlights and searched for their teachers on the desolate Loess Plateau.

The brilliant stars watched them silently throughout the universe.

"Oh my God, the civilization on this planet is not level 3C, it's level 5B!!"

Looking at the latest test report from the detector, the senator exclaimed.

In the big cities of mankind, the skyscrapers with bright lights have become holograms, which are displayed on the space background wall of the flagship command room.

"They've started using nuclear energy, they've used chemical propulsion into space, and they've even landed on the moons of their planets. The officer on duty interjected.

"What are their basic characteristics?" asked the fleet commander.

"Which aspect of the character do you want to know?" asked the officer on duty.

"For example, what is the amount of knowledge that people on this planet can gain through memory inheritance?"

"They don't have the ability to inherit memory, and all memory is learned. ”

"So, what is the way they exchange information and knowledge with each other?"

"In their necks, there is an organ called the vocal cords.

This organ can generate sound waves through atmospheric vibrations, and transmit the information to be transmitted to other individuals through certain rules.

The individual who receives the sound then also uses an organ called the eardrum to receive information from these regular sound waves. ”

"What is the efficiency of this transmission of information?"

"About 1 to 10 bits per second. ”

"What?!" everyone on the flagship felt incredible.

"It's really 1 to 10 bits per second, I didn't believe it at first, but I double-checked the information reported by the probe, and it was. ”

"Duty officer, are you crazy?!" the fleet commander was furious, "Are you trying to tell us that a species that has no memory inheritance, communicates with each other with sound waves, and communicates at an incredible rate of 1 to 10 bits per second, can create a 5B-class civilization?!"

"But, Your Excellency, it is. ”

"But in this state, it is simply impossible for this species to accumulate and transmit knowledge from generation to generation, which is necessary for the evolution of civilization!"

"They have a kind of individual, a certain number of them, distributed in all corners of the population, and this kind of individual acts as a medium for the transfer of knowledge between two generations of living beings. ”

"Sounds like a myth. ”

"No, it's not a myth. Peng Yichen suddenly said: "In the primeval era of the galactic civilization, there were carbon-based civilizations that did the same. Few people know this except for those who have studied the evolutionary history of galactic civilizations. ”

"Your Excellency, what are you talking about as an individual who transmits knowledge between two generations of life?"

"They call teachers. ”

"Teach...... Division?"

"A word of the primeval civilization that has long disappeared is very rare and cannot be found in the general ancient vocabulary database. ”

At this time, the probe had completed the exploration of the entire surface of the earth, and in the command room, a blue planet slowly rotated in mid-air.

Peng Yichen held back the excitement in his heart and said slowly: "In the era of the Galactic Federation, it was very rare for a civilization to evolve independently, and it was even more rare that it could evolve to level 5B.

I believe that this civilization should continue to evolve undisturbed.

We only need to observe and study it, which will not only help us to study the primeval civilization, but also have great enlightenment for the development of today's galactic civilization. ”

"I agree with you, Your Excellency. Then we will leave the planetary system at once, and make the area around this star a hundred light-years no-sail. The fleet commander said excitedly.

"Before leaving, the teacher who was the living being on the earth just now, send him back to where he came. Peng Yichen pretended to be nonchalant and said.

At this time, the commander, who had developed a great interest in the identity of a teacher and respected him, no longer doubted any orders from Peng Yichen.

"Brain, has the life form of that earth recovered?" the commander asked.

"After being treated with the healing machine, his body has reached the highest standard of health that life on earth can achieve. Zhi Brain replied.

"Okay, please send him back to the place. Be careful, don't disturb him. "For the first time, the commander gave such a gentle order.

In the next moment, if people in the northern hemisphere of the earth who have not yet slept look up at the sky, they will see a beam of waves appear in the starry sky first, shooting directly somewhere in northwest China.

Then, the starry sky suddenly trembled slightly.

The tremor emanated from a point in the air, spreading in a circle to the entire starry sky, as if someone had tapped his finger on a pool of calm water.

Countless waves were stirred.

At this time, when the flagship of the Federation fleet jumped, the shock wave of time and space, reflecting a little bit of sunlight, was greatly attenuated when it reached the earth.

At this moment, all the clocks on Earth were affected, a full 3 seconds faster.

However, it is impossible for human beings living in three-dimensional space to perceive this feeling of dislocation of time.

……

Through the time and space jump, it came to the flagship dozens of light years away.

The senator looked at the Earth's influence, which remained in the command room, and lamented:

"It's a pity! Without the cultivation of advanced civilizations, they would still be imprisoned in sub-light speed and three-dimensional space-time for two thousand years.

It will take at least a thousand years to master and use the energy of quantum annihilation.

It will take 2,000 years to communicate through multidimensional space-time, and as for astronautics through hyperspace jumps, it may be 5,000 years later.

It will take at least 10,000 years for them to have the basic conditions to join the Milky Way's carbon-based federation. ”

When the commander heard this, he also sighed with emotion: "The incomparably lonely evolution method of their civilization can only be seen in the primeval era of the galaxy. If the information in the old books is correct.

But our ancestors, when they lived in the trenches of the planets covered by oceans, also dared to explore the outside world after countless years of evolution in that dark underwater world.

It was supposed to be a massive expedition, and they launched the first ship capable of surface.

It is said to be a small transparent ball, which first surfaced after a long journey. Then, just before the stars were magical, the ancestors in the small ball saw the real starry sky for the first time......

You can imagine what a magnificent and mysterious other world appeared before them!"

Peng Yichen looked at the solar system, which had been protected by the Federation warships, and smiled: "I read from the books of the primeval era, it was a time that people want to look forward to.

A speck of dust on a planet is an infinitely vast world for our ancestors.

In the green sea and purple grassland, the ancestors faced the stars in awe......

This curiosity and desire to explore the new world has been lost for thousands of years. ”

"But I've got it back now!" said the senator, pointing to the image of the earth, the white clouds on the blue crystal ball like a trace of beautiful markings.

"Look at this little planet, those beings are living their own lives, dreaming their own dreams.

Nothing is known about the silicon-based empire and the carbon-based federation.

Not even the interstellar war that almost destroyed them, there is no feeling.

The Milky Way is an infinite source of hope and dreams for them, just as the vast universe is to us.

Perhaps, we should also have a group of teachers to help us maintain our curiosity about the new world in the outside world. ”

Speaking of this, the senator suddenly remembered a ballad that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day.

When he thought about it, he really began to sing.

Peng Yichen felt the vibration of the senator's intelligent field, and suddenly remembered the song he sang with his comrades on the battleship in the memory of the consul for the first time.

The next moment, the smart occasions of all the people in the command room were one.

Everyone's intelligent field rippled with a rose-red ripple.

The ballad that has been passed down from an unimaginably distant primeval time sounds distant, mysterious, and desolate, through hyperspace.

Through four-dimensional communication technology, it instantly spread throughout the galaxy.

In this nebula, which is made up of hundreds of billions of stars, countless beings feel a long-lost curiosity about knowledge and a desire to explore new worlds.

"The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is understandable. Peng Yichen said the words in the depths of his memory.

"The most intelligible thing about the universe is that it is incomprehensible. The senator replied.

With that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

……

By the time the children had searched the entire hill around the classroom, the sun had risen in the east.

Exhausted, they sat on the steps at the door of the classroom, staring at the desolate, gray Loess Plateau in a daze.

The mountains are so barren and ignorant that they don't know where their future and hope lie.

At this moment, the sun peeked out from behind the mountain, shining the first rays of golden light on the children, as if to give some comfort to the children.

In the valley meadow, which was still in shadow, the dew was shining brightly, and a series of familiar footsteps came from the valley in front of the classroom.

The babies jumped up in surprise and looked at the figure slowly walking in the morning light.

That is their hope and their future.

Once again, the village teacher felt his body feel extremely relaxed, but this time every cell of his body was active with a cheerful rhythm.

It's not a feeling of dying, it's definitely the rhythm of life.

He didn't know why he hadn't died yet, and he didn't know what he had been through last night.

He only knew that he finally had more time to send the pearl-like knowledge in his head to the minds of these babies one by one.

They will grow up with their knowledge and rush out of this ancient and barren land into the bigger and wider world.

Become a person who is truly useful to the world.
