A few days later, Chu Tianjiang returned to the realm of the real world, and there was only one person who came back with him.

Ali didn't make the decision for Chu Tianjiang, but just handed over the materials used to shape his body to Chu Tianjiang. Of course, Chu Tianjiang knew how to get Nicol's consciousness into this body. Although the one provided by Ali was not a pure star core, it was not quite the same as a mass energy body that fused with a star core. This is a combination of a star nucleus and a mass, not an ordinary fusion, but a basic level of integration.

In Arley's words, this body gave Nicol and them superpowers far beyond ordinary quality people.

Chu Tianjiang didn't want to let Nicol and the others fight side by side, let alone let them take risks, so he didn't object to the limited help provided by Ali.

As for the specific appearance of this body, Chu Tianjiang did not make decisions for Nicol and them, but let them decide for themselves.

The result did not surprise Chu Tianjiang, the characteristics of the seven people in appearance and body shape were reflected, they were more like Nichole in appearance, and there were some shadows of Maya and Isabella, and they were more inclined to Rachel in terms of figure, but they could also see the shadows of Chloe, Michelle and Kelly. In a sense, this is also the embodiment of the status of the seven people, that is, Nichol and Rachel have the closest relationship with Chu Tianjiang.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang respected Zhong Ruirui's choice and let her enter the subspace that he had made himself.

"How's that, do you like it?"

"It's not bad, it's just ......" Chu Tianjiang looked at the "wife" in front of him and said, "The question is, who am I talking to?" ”

"I, or rather the past us."

"You?"

"You can call me Nichol, but we all think it's your favorite name."

Chu Tianjiang was a little speechless, but he didn't deny it, because he had always liked Nicol the most.

"Actually, we're already alone now. Although the integration of personalities is not so complete, if you like, we can still show our own characteristics, but not as you think, I have seven different personalities, I am actually a person. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that he understood what "she" meant.

"How's it going, what are you doing now?"

Chu Tianjiang shrugged his shoulders. "Are you ready?"

"Call me by name."

"Nicol ......"

She smiled, and then leaned on Chu Tianjiang, her expression and demeanor were no different from Nichol.

"You've had enough of making out, haven't you?"

Hearing Ali's words, Chu Tianjiang and Nichol came back to their senses at the same time.

"Do you want to go to Mars?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded, he really wanted to see what human civilization was like now.

Although it is already in the solar system, the Earth's orbit has moved inward and is even farther away from Mars, so Mars is not visible in the Earth's orbit at all.

A few minutes later, Chu Tianjiang and Nichol followed Ali to the vicinity of Mars.

Mars at this time is completely different from the previous Mars. From a distance, it looks more like a large orange covered with pus.

Closer, see better.

The "pustules" on Mars are actually an ecosphere shrouded in plasma bodies, ranging in size from the largest to nearly 1,000 kilometers in diameter and the smallest to only a few tens of kilometers. Each ecosphere is a separate world, connected by pipes that are also made of mass. In each ecosystem, there is a complete set of life support and circulation system, which can produce an ecological environment suitable for human habitation.

Of course, the so-called environment is more about taking care of human living habits.

Theoretically speaking, after realizing the qualitative energy, human beings no longer need to rely on the environment, even if they are directly exposed to the universe, there will be no discomfort. However, not all living beings have achieved qualitative energy, and human beings need the company of other living beings in their lives, at least spiritually.

"Only 100 million people here?"

Ali nodded and said, "Although there are many biospheres on Mars, which can theoretically accommodate more people, the masses that build and maintain these biospheres all come from Jupiter, and people want to have a better living environment. In the long run, the solar system is also not an ideal habitat for humans. ”

"It looks like it's unfortified."

"Now, there are no external factors that can pose a threat to humanity, and the people who live here have all experienced the civil war and know about my existence, so there is no need to organize military forces here." Arley paused for a moment and then said, "In fact, relatively speaking, the solar system is the most barren star system and the smallest star system in the entire three-dimensional universe. The resources here are very limited, and it is difficult to support the development of human civilization, and no one will look at the solar system. At least in the short term, no other civilization will see the solar system as a place worth occupying, and maybe in a few hundred million years, it won't be the same. ”

"Hundreds of millions of years?"

"Didn't you ask me why I chose human beings over other intelligent civilizations?"

Chu Tianjiang was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what he meant by saying this.

"The solar system is small, but it has an advantage that other star systems don't have."

"What?"

"Stability."

"This ......"

"After mastering the ability to create a micro-universe, I first created the solar system. Due to my experience, I was unable to create overly complex star systems, so the solar system was simpler than the four microuniverses I later created. It turns out that in the three-dimensional universe, the simpler the system, the more stable it is. Compare the invaders' star systems, which are more complex and capable of producing a greater variety of life forms, but are also more unstable, with their host star burning steadily for less than a billion years, equivalent to one-sixth of the Sun. ”

"The problem is, you can't think about hundreds of millions of years from now."

"Who knows?"

"Could it be that after hundreds of millions of years, this newly born universe can still maintain a state of peace?"

"Even if a full-scale war breaks out, it doesn't mean that all star systems will be destroyed at the same time. What's more, in a full-scale war, the first to be destroyed are certainly those complex star systems, simple ones like the solar system, which are likely to survive the war. ”

"This ......"

"With humans as the carrier of intelligence, even if humans living in other star systems are wiped out, as long as the solar system still exists, I will not die."

Chu Tianjiang understood what Ali meant, the solar system was Ali's retreat.

"Do you want to take a look down there?"

"Is this necessary?"

Ali smiled and said, "No matter what, it's only when you see it that you're at ease, right?" ”

"It's just that I don't want to get noticed."

"Don't worry, we are an existence higher than the qualitative person, as long as you are willing, you will not be discovered by the qualitative person."

"This ......"

"Just do what I do."

Chu Tianjiang didn't object anymore, took Nikol with him, and flew with Ali towards the nearest biosphere.

It is a medium-sized biosphere with a radius of about 250 kilometers, with only one central city and a few smaller towns and villages nearby. The city does not occupy much of an area, and most of it is made up of forests and grasslands, as well as rivers and lakes that were early to be inhabited. According to Ali, there are fewer than half a million residents, a city government elected by residents, and a sheriff who is elected. Because the material needs of the quality people for life are very small, the government is very small, and most residents consciously abide by the law.

In a sense, this can be regarded as the ideal world of everyone's dreams.

Everyone has sufficient social status, has a huge living space, and has corresponding social rights, and also bears corresponding social obligations. Although labor is not necessary for social work, almost all adults are engaged in it, and mainly in work related to history. According to Arleigh, almost everyone is studying human history, except for the industries necessary to keep society running.

There is nothing surprising about this, for the surviving humans, what they want to know most must be what happened in the past.

Of course, this is also the job that requires the most manpower.

It is precisely because of this that only 100 million people remain in the solar system, and the rest go to the star system of the invaders. According to Ali's introduction, more people are willing to open up new living space, and most of the people who volunteered to stay at the beginning are related to the study of human history.

Of course, this does not mean that humans in the solar system have lost the opportunity to travel to other star systems.

As long as they want, they can travel to other star systems through space bridges at any time, where they can get a place and do the job they want.

"Well, do you want to go somewhere else?"

Chu Tianjiang glanced at Ali, and knew that Ali was talking about going to the invader's star system, not to other ecosystems on Mars.

"I don't think there's any need for that." Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and said, "Take us where we should go." ”

Ali nodded, indicating that he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang didn't fully believe in Ali.

The reason is simple, even though it seems that humanity has gained autonomy now, which is very different from the time of Gramm's reign, but in essence, it has not changed, because the right to live in the hands of Ali, and everyone is unknowingly used by Ali. Compared to Gramm, Ali only has a different way to rule, and it is to make humanity willingly accept domination.

Is this the end that humanity should accept?

Chu Tianjiang doesn't think so, at least in his opinion, human beings should gain a higher status and enjoy more rights through their own efforts and struggles.

What humanity needs is not a greenhouse, but a battlefield where opportunities can be obtained through hard work.
