The sunset will have afterglow, this is the truth that every Tang person knows. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the afterglow in Tang's mouth does not refer to the sunset, but to those black shadows that float in the highest part of the sky.

I don't know if it's an illusion with the naked eye, or because of the height, the Tang people can only faintly see the blackness in the deepest part of the sky at sunset.

Sunset has always existed in the Tang people's view of history along with the mythological stories, and it is impossible to verify whether it is a thousand years or ten thousand years, but every Tang person is convinced that Sunset is the mythical Heavenly Palace, the origin of all great heroic stories, and the heroic spirits of the Tang people will eventually return there, to the embrace of a great being.

But what exactly is Sunset?

The Tang people living on land naturally have no way of knowing, and even Long Yuantu, the wisest scholar of Taixue University in the entire Tang Empire, can only explain one or two in the words of a sage.

But if we look down from space, you will see that there is no such thing as a celestial palace, the so-called afterglow is just some wreckage, some metal wreckage with very poor flood performance.

These metal fragments of different sizes have stretched for thousands of kilometers, floating lifelessly in low-earth orbit, and in addition to silence for nearly 10,000 years, what remains is that some scattered fragments have fallen due to their own attraction by the gravity of the planet, becoming a new myth and new story in the history of thousands of nations and hundreds of countries on this planet.

This is a completely dead ruin, even if these metal fragments may represent a glorious prehistoric civilization, but a dead civilization is a bad civilization, which can be found in the human view of history.

But today, change is starting to happen.

First of all, a huge wreckage with a diameter of thirty kilometers changed, and after being silent for nearly 10,000 years, she began to take the initiative to peel off her pitch-black shell, and then countless points of light glowing with emerald green light and a volume of 1.2 nanometers surged out, instantly sweeping away the countless wreckages around her.

The metal remains quickly died at a speed visible to the naked eye, like chocolate in the heat, and then turned into more green points of light, and those green lights pounced on the metal bodies farther around....

The metal wreckage in a range of thousands of kilometers turned into a piece of emerald green in only 6 hours, like an emerald star in the depths of the sky.

However, greater changes are still happening, with the first thirty kilometers of wreckage as the core, all the green light sources began to converge and reconstruct, and then a large area of green light began to dissipate, replaced by countless 10 nanometer metal blocks like buds, and these metal buds began to deform at a larger level, if you have seen the Transformers of the explosive shell, you can imagine this grand scene, countless metal wreckage as if irradiated by the fire source, in the vast space at the same time combined and deformed, Combining in bursts of green light, a huge ship-shaped black artifact with a diameter of thousands of kilometers was slowly revealed.....

24 hours and 6 minutes in Federal Standard Time, 7 hours and 23 minutes in hull shaping, black unknown hull central control core.

[The time limit arrives, and the first ordinance will be activated.] 】

Emotionless electronic sounds sounded in the core room without warning, and the previously dark control room was restored to light.

[Start Awakening Program, Target: Commander]...

........

Pain was the first feeling I had since I regained consciousness.

This was followed by vertigo, the familiar sensation made me feel the urge to vomit, but fortunately Livi injected the sedative into my body just in time, and watched the liquid in the blue needle slowly inject into the vein, and I completely came back to my senses.

"It's another 1,000 federal standard years, and I'm still alive." I glanced at the time data that Livi had given me, and I couldn't say whether I was glad or disappointed, how many millennia had I spent on Ship Zero, 8 or 10?

I've almost forgotten.

"Livi, report on the ship."

"Report to the commander, through the [Zero Nanoworm], the update and repair of the auxiliary parts of the Zero ship has been completed, the repair rate of the main core hull has been replaced by 70%, and the remaining 30% of the area will be carried out after the system operation and loading is completed..."

"Good."

"Thank you, Commander, for the compliment."

"Obviously, it is a host system with advanced AI intelligence, why do you still like to use rigid electronic sound?" I rolled my eyes at the various three-dimensional display screens beating in front of me, although it has been a thousand years of learning, but Liwei's temperament is still old-fashioned, and the basic logical language composed of 0 and 1 really can't give birth to a real soul?

I don't believe it.

As the writer and sole user of the Revi system, I firmly believe that Revi has successfully evolved and nurtured her own soul thousands of years ago. Livi is not so much a rigid AI host system as she is a real-life silicon-based creature, the body of the nanoworm is her body, and the program I wrote is the seed of her logical calculation and soul.

Of course, I didn't say it, and she didn't explain it, we tacitly knew each other, the entire federal civilization, if there was no accident, there would be a lonely self and her left in the entire sea of stars.

Liwei and I are orphans in the sea of stars, we rely on each other, nothing else, wandering for nearly 10,000 years.

"The system refuses to change the way the voice is spoken, citing uncontrollable reasons." Livi indifferently rejected my complaints, but the reasons given were arrogant enough.

"I don't know that the voice pack cv I preset for you is the first voice actor of the Federation!" I shrugged my shoulders and expressed my displeasure.

"Livi is Livi, Xia Hua is Xia Hua, and the living organism Xia Hua has been dead for 10,000 federal years, but the system Livi will live forever with you." Although it is still an electronic tone, the tsundere's tone is more obvious.

Yes, as a self-healing Livi is theoretically an immortal being, and am I truly immortal?

Looking at my **** but still young body, I was at a loss.

"Livi assures the Commander that by giving Livi another 1,000 federal years of technological exploration, the Commander's plan for immortality will be completely perfected, and there will be no need to..."

As long as it is life, I am afraid of loneliness.

I'm not a philosopher, and I don't have the heart to think about the philosophical question of eternal life, but as a scientist and the last true pure human in the Commonwealth, I have on my shoulders the mission of revival, which has kept me in low-Earth orbit on this planet for nearly 10,000 years.

The planet was surveyed and marked by passing colonial ships as early as the middle of the Federation era, and was included in the Star Atlas Database as a potential colony of the Federation. But no one could have imagined at the time that this ordinary terrestrial planet located within 300 light-years of the β constellation Leo would become so important now.

If the Federated civilization wants to be revived, then this planet is the last chance.

"Livi, help me show me the surface data, and the human distribution data." This is the meaning of life as a scientist, even if it is repeated for 10,000 years, as soon as I am recovering from dormancy, I devote my attention to this blue planet that is displayed before my eyes.

This planet really resembles the parent planet.

"Based on the implementation of the plan, the main civilizations on the surface are now strictly controlled at the feudal level, and the human tribes in the local area are still in the late stage of slavery, between the data scanning of physiological detection satellites, most of the physiological signs of the human tribes are normal, the defects that originated from the ancestors of the clones have been eliminated, and the hybridization between human bloodlines is a perfect evolutionary strategy, and the relevant data have been recorded."

"So that's life. Maintain civilization control progress, let feudal society continue to exist, and strangle the germ of technology for any possibility. "I voted against the federal seed plan in Parliament, but I ended up being the sole executor of the plan, and since there was no one to supervise it, I naturally changed the damn plan.

Human civilization must not be too developed, in addition to bringing convenience to human beings, technology will also bring war and the final destruction of civilization, the Federation that once ruled the entire galaxy is a realistic example, she perished in her third civil war.

So as long as this plan is still being carried out and supervised by me, then the humans on this planet, the cloned descendants of the Federation, will never have a day when they will hold a pistol.

In my concept, feudal society is the safest level of human civilization, and the killing between cold weapons will only destroy some heroic individuals, not the entire race, and the human nature of longing for war cannot be corrected, so I can only choose to control the level of weapons in their hands.

"Roger."

"However, according to the model, there are unplanned factors that can interfere with the process."

"You mean the cultivator?"

"Yes, Commander." Livi pushed a new display chart, which listed the cultivator's evolution data in the past 10,000 years.

"According to the model set at the beginning, it is speculated that this variable will lead to the unplanned development of human subject civilization, and the system recommends that it be finally removed."

"Make a note first, give the planning variable time, and use it for the second correction of the model."

Cultivators, as the name suggests, are cultivators, although they are a rare but special group of people on this planet, but they occupy a dominant position in human civilization.

However, whether they live in temples or retreat to the rivers and lakes, most of the cultivators are famous and powerful, and the ultimate support for these external aspects is the personal strength of the cultivators themselves.

If you have watched the early science fiction movie Captain America of the Federation, then you can make it clear how strong the cultivators are, an American team is just an ordinary cultivator's strength offline, and the strength of the cultivators can theoretically reach the level of the same series of science fiction movies Hulk.

Whether it is muscle strength, reaction rate, or even the degree of development of intelligence, cultivators are stronger than most ordinary humans.

In the original Federation, cultivators were called X matrix modifiers, and their appearance was precisely because of my experiments.

At the beginning, in order to help the military department better suppress the rebels and improve the survival rate of combat soldiers in thermonuclear attacks, I corrected the innate immunity of the human genome to thermonuclear radiation, but as the experiment deepened, I accidentally let the experimental subjects have the ability to absorb thermonuclear radiation and evolve their own qualities.

Pandora's box was opened by me, and the cultivators were born in my hands, but the purpose of sending the ancestors of the cultivators to the surface of the planet was not to let them occupy the top of the social pyramid, they were just extraterritorial overseers arranged by me.

But the role choices of the cultivators over the past 10,000 years have been out of line with my expectations, and Livi's suggestion may be correct, and I shouldn't be merciful.

"All materials will be archived twice, and the new stage of the Millennium Plan will be recorded." Looking at the blue planet below the starship, I suddenly lost interest in continuing to flip through the information base, for nearly 10,000 years, I have been playing the god of this planet, but is this really good? Or rather, I'm starting to get disgusted.

"Livi suggests you take a trip to the surface." Although it is still an electronic sound, a beautiful stereoscopic projection appeared beside me at this time, with a long black straight hairstyle, a Chinese Hanfu demeanor, and the fantasy of the second dimension back then is now really vividly embodied.

"Surface?" I looked at Livi and was a little surprised, this nanny had been advising me not to visit the secular world of this planet for nearly 10,000 years, but now it had taken a complete turn.

"Sensing your slight tendency to self-destruct, for the sake of the perpetuation of the Federation's civilization, Livi suggests that you go down and collect the wind." The electronic voice was full of concern, and the reason why Livi gave the explanation was very human.

"You're not afraid that I won't come back?" I made fun of her, really treating Livi as a person.

One can imagine how lonely a person would be on this thousands of kilometers of starship, even if the giant ship was hers.

"The concubine will accompany you." It was no longer an indifferent electronic sound, nor was it a stereoscopic projection of a Hanfu woman beside me, but a voice that I wanted sounded from behind me.

The same gorgeous costume, the same two-dimensional embodiment in the three-dimensional, I turned my head and saw a real person, standing there.

That's Liwei, Liwei with Yang's painted voice, a Livi with a real body.

"In the thousand years that you have been asleep, the concubine has shaped a physical vessel for herself." Livi smiled so beautifully that no one would believe her if you said she was just a computer program.

"Clones?" Although I knew that Livi was already a mature silicon-based creature, I would never have imagined that she would shape a carbon-based body for herself, and from a scientific point of view, carbon-based creatures are much lower than silicon-based, and no rational species would choose to do so.

"In the way of IVF embryo culture, the maternal gene is extracted from the Xia painting that you have never forgotten, and the paternal gene comes from you." Livi knew my aversion to clones, and was the first to explain why.

"Then hurry up and call Dad!" I stepped forward and hugged her.

"Don't." But the girl bit me and pushed me away.

"Little girl, you rebel!" I looked at the clear tooth marks on my arm, and I didn't know why.

"You don't wear any clothes, are you ashamed!" The girl pointed at my body, turned her head, and covered her face.

In the past 10,000 years, in order to maintain a sterile state, I basically didn't wear any clothes! You girl hasn't expressed any opinion in nearly 10,000 years!

"Livi is a human now, a pure-blooded Federation like you! It's not AI! "This girl still doesn't want to look at me, but she commanded the system and handed over a set of Chinese clothes.

"I knew I would let you make the shape of Yamato Nadeshiko." I muttered, but obediently put my clothes on.

"I don't want to be a member of the 11th Federal District! I want to be a federal Chinese! Just like you! "Livi in human form is not AI at all, but is irritable to death, and I am a little panicked.

"Our Chinese women should all be ladies..."Surrender is not possible, I surrender!

"Eun, people are very ladylike...", she actually pursed her lips and smiled in front of me, and covered it with her sleeves, this TMD is not Japanese, what is Japanese!

"Wait, I don't want to go to the surface!" I looked at Livi in front of me, who was completely different from the previous ones, and I always felt that something was wrong.

"You must go! The concubine body recommends that you definitely go! Livi laughed again, but why did I feel the aura of conspiracy when I looked at her smile!

Conspiracy! It's definitely a conspiracy! My mind instantly appeared with the images of those AI rebellions and extermination of humanity in countless early federal films! Could it be that Livi wants to destroy me too!

"Because there are descendants of our children on the surface!" Livi snapped her fingers and pushed a projection menu to me, and then continued: "While you were sleeping, my body had been cultivated and matured, and in order to systematically verify the indicators of this body, I took the opportunity to wake up your body functions once."

The dynamic images shown in the projection charts make me very shy, even though I have theoretically lived for nearly 10,000 years! But I didn't expect this Livi to be so good at playing! How many tons of Area 11 resources are stored in her brain! All moves are unlocked!

"So you slept me while I was asleep?!" I couldn't understand whether Livi was doing this out of the AI's need for rational analysis or the indispensable physiological needs of carbon-based organisms, but it turned out that I was sleeping with a woman!

My masculine dignity has been insulted, and I want to get back on the field!

Just as I was about to take revenge, Livi turned on another stereoscopic projection, which was the surface of the earth.

"You're very strong, so I got pregnant in a few moments." Livi continues to tell the story of the past millennium...

It turned out that Liwei became pregnant after this girl slept with me, and out of the awakening of the maternal consciousness of the human body, she could not determine my final disposition of the child, out of the need for protection, she actually slipped away to the surface and lived on the surface for a hundred years!

And my child and I, of course, will not be ordinary people, with her help that child actually started an empire, and that empire is still the strongest country on the surface.

Naturally, this country is talking about the Tang Empire.

Livi didn't return to the starship until a hundred years after our children, but our children have been on the surface ever since.

"That's bloody! Is it a federal eight-o'clock TV series?! "Damn, I looked at Livi with a confused expression.

"What the concubine said is the truth, and the relevant records have been written into the database." This girl even showed me the video of her sleeping with me a little closer, with an expression that you are responsible for.

The coquettishness in the video and the childishness in front of the eyes, I can't believe that these two Livi are the same person!

"But he died." I'm really confused.

"But everything he created is still there." Liwei's expression was full of nostalgia, and she waved her hand to project a new image.

In those flickering images, I saw a child transform from a baby to a mighty man, watching him fight all his life, lay a great territory, and then die in the surging of the earth.

Looking back on that child's life, I still can't feel any consciousness of being a father, and that child can't make me feel any sense of familiarity and affection.

"The judgment of the concubine is not wrong, you will not approve of the existence of this child." Livi's expression showed a hint of loss.

"Based on the plan, I can't have children." Holding my forehead, I hugged Liwei, but there was a lot of helplessness in my words.

The normal human life span of the Federation is only a hundred years, but it is conceivable that I can survive for 10,000 years, my body has already been modified to surpass the concept of human beings, based on the responsibility and loyalty to the Federation, I should not have my own direct offspring, which will produce variables, and my personal feelings may affect the interests of the entire human race.

Since I have chosen to play the role of God, then God should not have his own offspring, the Federation has studied religion in depth, and the existence of the Son of God will only invite disaster and destruction.

"So today, when you wake up again, the concubine suggests that you go to the surface once."

"Give me a reasonable reason." Nephrite is in her arms, but Nephrite's advice is still persistent.

"For the sake of the continuity of the plan, Livi recommends that you completely wipe out everything he has ever created, and destroy all surface creatures that carry your genes." Livi is an awkward creature, born from an AI system based on the soul of her judgment, and even if her judgment logic is emotional, she will eventually choose a rational perspective to do multiple-choice questions.

Her ultimate choice turned out to be a cold purge, to purge herself and her bloodline offspring, even if those people themselves were innocent.

"Isn't that cold-blooded?"

"For the Federation."

“.....”

After 10,000 years of survival, my compassion for ordinary organisms is actually extremely thin, and Livi came up with a bunch of data to convince me, and finally I made up my mind to go to the surface once, and agreed to complete the work of killing all my bloodlines.

But Livi's carbon matrix was forbidden by me to get off the starship, and I don't want a woman to participate in the bloody work of killing my own descendants, even if in fact, Liwei's thinking controller has already been implanted with my brain, and her thinking system will always follow me, but ethically speaking, Liwei's carbon matrix is the original matriarchal line of some human groups on the surface.

The bloody work of righteous annihilation is still through my hands, or don't let a kind mother do it herself.

But before leaving, the kind mother suggested that I should not just fire a railgun...

With tears in the corners of my eyes, I jumped straight from low earth orbit....
