Chapter 230: Little Gongju, Hold High
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Wei is not as suspicious as Cao Cao, maybe he really doesn't understand the thinking logic of this group of aliens, he always feels that a civilization with advanced science and technology, even if it is not as high as the civilization where Xiao Ji is located, but compared to humans, I don't know how high it is. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Such a civilization, as they say, only focuses on aerospace science and technology, but the so-called "aerospace" and "interstellar travel technology" sound like just a discipline, but in fact?
Zhang Wei did not dare to say that as far as he knew about the existing manned aviation on the earth, how could there be only one subject involved? If it was only one subject, who would have the cheekiness to say that aerospace was an expression of "comprehensive national strength"? What is "comprehensive national strength"? It must involve 360 lines!
And when it comes to the technology of this alien spacecraft, in addition to the energy system that can't even look down on nuclear fusion, there are also powerful power systems, various communication systems, aerospace life support systems, armor systems that even Xiao Ji took several minutes to crack, and finally the seemingly tragic but unclear interstellar communication means, this means should be instantaneous, and it is certainly not an electromagnetic communication means that only reaches the speed of light. Their planet is more than 4 light years away from the solar system, which means that even the speed of light will take more than 4 years to reach their planet, but Zhang Wei has already said that the invasion of the earth will be in 4 months, and they have information to come to "reinforcements" before then, which means that as long as you are not an idiot, you can understand.
Such a high civilization relative to the earth civilization must have a strong overall planning power, and has a higher social structure than the earth humans, if such a civilized race pursues the traces of immortals, it is understandable, after all, physically, these little people are too weak, yearning for and worshiping strong individual lives can be understood, in exchange for the human thinking mode, if human beings are so developed one day, maybe there will also be people who worship immortals, but to that extent, human beings should think about how to make themselves immortals, then they need to capture an immortal to slice and study, do various tests, and then generalize it, so that everyone can live with the sky, turn stones into gold, and move mountains and seas.
Worshipping you, studying you, surpassing you, looking down on you, and trampling on you, this is the normal logic of biological evolution, right?
Ancient human beings once worshipped extremely powerful beasts, so that many tribes' totems and family emblems were either brown bears or tigers, because these beasts could kill humans with one claw, but with the development of human beings themselves, they invented and manufactured all kinds of weapons, and the anatomical study of these beasts, understood their strengths and weaknesses, knew how many doses of anesthetics were enough to turn over a colorful tiger, knew the price of bear skin and the medical value of bear bile, so countless poachers slaughtered the former totems all over the world, although this is very cruel, but this is biological, it is under the skin of people"Bestiality", the bestiality that human beings have never wiped out.
Zhang Wei believes that this group of cute-looking aliens must be very normal life, especially since they have a lifespan of hundreds of years, and the things that their own society needs must be many times that of human beings.
How do animals sustain their existence and stabilize their evolutionary foundations?
Devouring other lives, of course!
From the insects on the leaves, to the tigers, lions, big dogs, bears, and then to the so-called "primates of all things" humans, it is all the same.
Some vegetarians are pretentious and proud of their "non-killing" and think that they are the Great Virgin, but they forget that the bread noodles they eat made of barley wheat flour, the green vegetables and radish tofu cubes they eat, and the pineapple and banana fruit pie they eat are all life!
So, Zhang Wei doubted it, and doubted the potential motives of these little highly intelligent beings!
Some of what they said was true, and Xiao Ji confirmed it - their spaceship had indeed lost its main power and could not go back, each of them could live to be 700 years old, and the purpose of their coming to Earth was indeed to find "immortals".
But as for whether or not they really "believe" in immortals, then I don't know -- is it "faith" or "covetous"?
Zhang Wei's "mind reading" didn't work for them, probably because they didn't think they were terrestrial creatures, otherwise they would have known what they really thought.
Of course, there is another somewhat nonsensical reason why Zhang Wei is so suspicious - they claim to be from the α Centauri, a galaxy similar to the three-body people in the novel "The Three-Body Problem", which always reminds him of the "law of the dark forest" from time to time.
Is it possible that these little elves-like people are acting, acting out a scene where a pilgrim finally sees the object of his worship?
Even if these "elves" are sincere, is their "sacrifice" the result of brainwashing and training? As soon as they encounter "immortals", they will burn their own lives and notify their home planet?
Are the members of this expedition all low-level personnel, and could they be tools sent by the higher-ups of their home planet?
Imagine that the education of this group of little people since childhood is indeed as they told Zhang Wei, the whole people respect and worship the "immortals", and then before they leave the home planet with enthusiasm, in the aerospace training class, the chief or instructor tells them that after discovering the immortals, it will be the glory of their lives to report to the home planet at all costs. However, the purpose of the top is actually only to find and capture the "immortals", who brainwash the people at the bottom and package their ambitions with lofty ideals and beliefs!
Of course, if someone else who is overflowing with love meets everything Zhang Wei saw tonight, he will definitely be moved to tears by them, even if Zhang Wei reminds him a few words on the side, he will be scorned by others - "These elves are so cute, so beautiful, how can they be bad people!?", which is more justified than saying the sentence "Bunny is so cute, why do you want to eat bunny".
At this moment, Zhang Wei thought of countless possibilities, and he was used to seeing such tricks, because similar things like this have not happened in human history, such as the evil axis of World War II or something, such as a superpower with military bases all over the world today.
"Are you a princess?" asked Zhang Wei, who grew bigger, and his eyes flickered as he re-grasped the only remaining villain.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, no matter how you say it, it should be a high-level, and they are still a matriarchal society, the "princess" must be equivalent to the "prince" of the Human Empire, if Zhang Wei's suspicion is a bit of a shadow, then she should definitely know something.
"Yes, Your Excellency. The little man hung his head down, his fuchsia hair covering his face, and he couldn't see his expression, but his tone was indeed sad.
The mind-reading technique was ineffective, and Zhang Wei could not tell whether her grief was true or false.
"You princess doesn't have any arrogance, it's good. By the way, how old was your mother when she gave birth to you?" Zhang Wei suddenly asked.
“…… 350 years old. The princess replied, she didn't know why Zhang Wei suddenly became interested in this.
"Then do you miss your mother?" asked Zhang Wei casually.
"Well, I miss her so much, I've been here for more than five hundred years......" the princess hung her head again.
Zhang Wei's eyes flashed, and he comforted: "Alas, who said no? Presumably, your mother and queen miss you as much as you miss her! You have been here for so long, and you have turned over many ancient books, you must have heard the last two sentences of a poem in our Huaguo: 'I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together', right? Every night, you look at the Centauri α star in the starry sky, and she looks at the sun in the starry sky, isn't it also a kind of 'Gongchanjuan'?"
Zhang Wei's words sound good at first glance, for people who are far away and miss their relatives, "I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together" is indeed a good sentence to dispel homesickness.
"Well, I hope so!" the princess's eyes were a little confused, and her tone was a little lively: "Thank you, Your Excellency. ”
"Humph!!!"
This warm scene, no matter how you look at it, is very beautiful, who knows that Zhang Wei suddenly snorted coldly, squeezed the villain in his hand hard, and his eyes were cold.
"Your mother was 350 years old when she gave birth to you, and you have been on Earth for more than 500 years, so isn't your mother almost 900 years old now? Didn't you say that the people of your planet only live to be 700 years old at most? Hmm?!!!" Zhang Wei's voice was very stern, and he didn't mean to pity the jade at all.
“…… "The princess's small body was pinched so vigorously, and she was not wearing armor, and suddenly she couldn't breathe well and coughed.
She never expected that this immortal was so moody, and he was still comforting her with a pleasant face in the last second, a gentleman was like a prince, and the next second he was fierce, like a prison judge.
"Ahem...... Immortals...... Sir, let go a little and listen...... Listen to me......" The little princess struggled, her face flushed.
"Huh. Zhang Wei let go a little, and showed a big smile again, and his expression changed very quickly.
"Huhu...... Your Excellency Immortal, I didn't say that my mother emperor is still alive, I just missed my hometown too much just now, and I didn't notice it for a while. The princess replied.
"Is it still interesting to quibble now?" Zhang Wei said indifferently.
The princess blinked her big cute eyes and looked at Zhang Wei fixedly, her face full of innocence.
"If it was useful to sell cuteness, I wouldn't have asked you this, Your Highness the Princess. Zhang Wei lightly increased the strength of his palm.
The princess was still unmoved, and even showed a timid expression: "Your Excellency, our captain and all the crew sacrificed their lives for you to ask for help, why do you want to do this to me? Do you think I am not pious enough to you? But I am staying to serve you!"
"Oh, serve me, then why are you here to serve me? Isn't it okay for the others? Or do you have any special service skills?" Zhang Wei showed a wicked smile, and even stretched out his tongue, with a thin face.
"......" The princess really showed a somewhat panicked expression on her face this time, she didn't know what was going on with this immortal, "...... Yes, yes, I can't talk about special service skills, but I'm very well-behaved, I will promise whatever your Excellency Immortal wants, and I will serve you as much as I want!"
"The princess, doing the maid's thing, this is the purpose of your mother to train you?" Zhang Wei put away his frivolous perverted expression, looked at the panicked princess, and smiled faintly, "That's really sad! Whether it's your race, your mother's queen, or your princess, it's all pathetic." ”
"It is my honor to serve the immortals. The princess closed her eyes, and her upper body trembled a little—obviously, insincerely.
"Hey, Your Royal Highness Princess, the people of your planet all admire immortals and have legends of immortals, so let me ask you, is there a legend about [Demon] on your planet?" Zhang Wei suddenly asked.
The princess's closed eyes opened, looking at the smile on the corner of Zhang Wei's mouth, and suddenly shuddered in her heart, the concept of [demon] certainly has similar vocabulary in their civilization, but unlike "immortals", immortals have legends, [demons] do not, and the meaning of [demons] in their civilization is actually just a general term for all evil, not creatures or living creatures in a specific sense.
After coming to the earth, they knew that the immortals and demons were opposites in the human civilization on the earth, and there were legends of immortals, and naturally there were legends of demons.
Just as they had never seen an immortal before they met Zhang Wei, they had never seen a demon.
"Your Excellency, we don't have a legend about the Demon, what do you mean by asking?" the little princess asked.
"Haven't seen it? It's easy to do if you haven't seen it. Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Then do you want to meet it? If you want to, you can meet it right away!"
"I ...... I don't want to. The little princess stuttered a little, she felt the fear of the unknown.
"Okay, don't blink, you'll see it right away!" Zhang Wei nodded.
"No, no, no, you heard me wrong, I said I don't want to!" said the little princess excitedly.
Zhang Wei laughed mockingly and snapped his fingers.
The wind in the mountains had stopped, and the leaves were no longer making the sound of flapping against each other.
The moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and only a little halo remained.
The frogs in the forest stopped chirping, and the flowing water in the distance seemed to be still.
It's an extremely oppressive atmosphere, as if something is coming, as if it's already coming.
The little princess's body trembled even more, and she looked around, not knowing what would come out of the next second.
The light and shadow distorted, and she asked a thick fishy smell, and the sound of thick breathing that seemed to be amplified thousands of times.
The clouds were torn apart, but the moon was not visible.
A large head poked out of the clouds, shimmering with jet-black sheen.
The blood-red eyes were the size of the sun and the moon, the sharp corners seemed to be able to pierce the earth, the black scales shimmered with a strange light, and the sharp teeth in the mouth were comparable to the mountains!
It swoops down and opens its mouth wide!
"Ahh
