Chapter 125: Historical Origins

Lao Miao shook his head and said, "It's not someone else, put it in my consciousness." ”

Wang Xiaotian didn't believe it, "How do you know? What if someone modifies your memory when you are asleep, making you think that you are an undercover student of the Purification Sect? Haven't there been some such brainwashed people in your base?"

Lao Miao (Shi Disheng) roared angrily: "Don't compare me with that kind of garbage! Whether it has been tampered with or added to the memory, of course I have a way to tell the difference." ”

Wang Xiaotian was very curious and asked, "How to tell the difference, let's listen to it." ”

Shi Disheng glanced at him and said, "Okay, anyway, the journey is long, and chatting with you can also lift some spirits." ”

"Then you can tell me, let me also increase my knowledge. ”

Shi Disheng said: "Memories imposed or tampered with by others will be very abrupt, making you feel that you suddenly have this kind of thought or thought, without any precursor or consequences, you will only stubbornly think that you have to do this." ”

"That's impulsiveness, huh?"

Shi Disheng nodded and said, "Yes." It's impulsive. You'll regret it afterwards or be at a loss. Wondering why I did it. ”

And your own thoughts must be the cause and effect, and they can also be complete, sort out the entire thinking process, so as to achieve logical self-consistency. ”

"Is that deliberate?"

Shi Disheng nodded again and said, "That's right. ”

Wang Xiaotian said: "You are a pure person, you should have been cleaned up many times, and in the past few lifetimes, the organization must have carefully observed and evaluated you." How did the Purification Cult implant the idea of betrayal in your consciousness?"

Shi Disheng said: "In fact, there is no need to implant an idea at all, just leave an insignificant seed, and when the time is right, it will naturally take root and sprout." ”

Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, "What is the seed?"

Shi Disheng said: "The seed is a clue that is deeply rooted in your consciousness. Maybe it's a string of characters, a few numbers or a melody, a poem. In short, it's something that's very ordinary, unnoticeable, and doesn't do anything harmful. Under certain conditions, you can find yourself through these clues. ”

Wang Xiaotian asked curiously, "What is the seed they left for you?"

Shi Disheng gave him a blank look, "It doesn't matter about you." ”

Wang Xiaotian said: "Even if what you say is true. You find yourself through the seeds they left behind. Tell me, then, why do you think your betrayal of the explorer was deliberate?"

Shi Disheng said: "As I just said, loyalty to the explorer and loyalty to the saint is the goal I pursue, and it is also the mission I protect. But, do you know why I'm loyal to the explorer?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head, secretly slandering in his heart, nonsense! I want to know why, and I still talk to you about these useless things?

"From the very beginning of my birth, I have been indoctrinated with the idea that the Seekers are saving the world, and the Purification Sect is trying to destroy the world. ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded, "Judging from the members of the Explorers that I have contacted so far, they all think so. ”

Shi Disheng said impatiently: "Don't interrupt, it will affect my thinking." ”

Wang Xiaotian raised his hands, "Okay, good." I won't interrupt, you can go on. ”

Shi Disheng reorganized his thoughts and said, "Speaking of the birth of the Explorer and the Purification Sect, we have to say that the Great War at the end of the old era. As for what caused the great war, it is estimated that apart from me, everyone else, whether it is the Explorer, the Purification Sect, or the Eastern Chu Kingdom and the Xiluo Kingdom in the reserve

, will have their own words, arguing endlessly. ”

Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Shi Disheng glanced at him impatiently, and continued: "Because what they have heard is history that has been distorted and whitewashed from the perspective of their own favor since the beginning of the new era. Only me, who has heard the three versions of the Purification Sect, the Explorer and the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and the three parties confirm each other, so they can naturally find the truth. ”

Wang Xiaotian wanted to refute him, but after thinking about it, he still held back.

Shi Disheng said: "The roots of that great war can be traced back to 2076 A.D. in the old era. ”

"That year, a mysterious alien spacecraft, for unknown reasons, completely avoided the monitoring network composed of large and small astronomical telescopes, exploration satellites, and exploration spacecraft of human beings, suddenly appeared near Mars, and at an extremely high speed, cut into the orbit of our planet, and fell into the atmosphere and into the Arctic Ocean when everyone had no time to react. ”

"When the ship was found to be falling down on the planet, people were all stunned. Because in people's traditional understanding, such a huge object falling into the Arctic Ocean will inevitably cause a tsunami, inducing submarine earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other devastating disasters. ”

"While it may not be devastating to the world, the Arctic Circle and the coastal areas of the Northern Hemisphere will certainly be in bad luck. From the discovery of the mysterious spaceship to the two hours of crashing into the Arctic Ocean, all one can do is pray to the gods in despair and helplessness. ”

"But the strange thing is that the mysterious spaceship seems to be in the same dimension as this planet at all, and it didn't even make a splash when it crashed into the Arctic Ocean. After a brief panic, several major powers in the northern hemisphere immediately reacted and sent intelligent robots into the crash area to detect. ”

"After exploration, sure enough, under the Arctic Ocean, a strangely shaped spaceship was found. The ship was badly damaged, with no signs of life, and the ship was all controlled by AI, which had been severely damaged and had fallen into deep hibernation after the crash. ”

"A number of top aerospace experts have conducted a careful and comprehensive analysis of the preliminary survey results of intelligent robots. It is believed that judging from the trauma suffered by the spacecraft, it should be in the interstellar war, which was severely damaged by the enemy ship, and the crew abandoned the ship to escape. ”

"The enemy ship judged that this ship was no longer worth striking again, so it was left to the ship's AI to automatically lead the ship out of battle. During this time, the ship was lucky not to disintegrate. However, due to damage to the ship's conventional engine, it lost power and could not automatically return to base. It is estimated that the side also lost in the battle and was unable to recover the battleship. ”

"After the shipboard AI tried the interstellar jump a few times, the space jump engine also failed, and the spacecraft could only be left to drift in the interstellar spacecraft, after an unknown number of years of wandering. After careful assessment, the experts decided that the danger level of the spacecraft was low and that personnel could be sent to conduct in-depth research. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Disheng couldn't help but sigh: "An ownerless and undefended treasure! Everyone thinks that this is a gift from God to the whole world. Because before that, the technology of the old era had been stagnant for many years. ”

Several major powers are rushing to send scientific research teams to prepare to go deep into alien spacecraft to carry out scientific research. After the disclosure of this information, the world's top scientists immediately signed a joint letter to the governments of various countries, believing that the ship is the common wealth of all mankind, does not belong to any country, organization or individual, and should be cooperated globally, and all resources and research results should be shared. ”

"After many times of coordination by the United Nations, countries around the world have finally reached a consensus to set up a permanent research base in the depths of the Arctic Ocean with the strength of all countries, and each country will send the top scientists to the base to conduct joint research and share the results according to the proportion of investment. ”

"After more than two hundred years of painstaking research, the old era

People gradually mastered some extraterrestrial technology and entered the era of the big bang of science and technology. In the year 2320 of the old era Gregorian calendar, humanity already had the ability to colonize outside the galaxy. ”

"At that time, countries worked together to dismantle the damaged space jump engine of the alien spacecraft and repair it intact. Then, with this engine, they worked together to build the first all-ecological alien colonization spaceship "Civilization Ark", ready to start alien colonization operations. ”

"But there is a fierce conflict between countries over who will dominate the alien colonization. Because the alien spaceship has no extra space jump engines, unless the construction plan of the "Civilization Ark" is abandoned and another way, a second alien colony ship cannot be built for at least two hundred years. Therefore, the future of the remaining country is bleak. ”

"Although there is a certain risk in alien colonization, human beings have discovered three terrestrial planets within the voyage of the alien colonization spacecraft, and there are enough resources for development. As long as the alien colonization plan is activated, it will not be long before the country that dominates the alien colonization will become a well-deserved overlord. And other countries, only relying on the help of the country that dominates the alien colonization, can get out of Sita. They will be reduced to vassals and completely marginalized. ”

"In the midst of conflicts, countries that had cooperated closely with each other have turned over old accounts, and theories such as ethnic feuds, racial conflicts, the theory of the decisive victory of civilizations, the theory of the superiority of race, the theory of economic determinism, and the theory of technological decisive victory have become loud. ”

"The level of conflict has intensified over time, from the beginning of verbal punishment to fists and stones, knives, guns and clubs to gunpowder weapons and nuclear weapons, from the initial skirmishes to border clashes, local wars, and global wars, all countries have not been spared. Humanity in conflict is also becoming more and more impulsive, violent, and brutal. ”

"In the early days of a military conflict, after a brief and chaotic global turmoil, the war quickly divided into two hostile groups of nations. The two sides started a battle and used all the traditional weapons possessed by mankind, even tactical nuclear weapons, but the two sides were evenly matched, and the war fell into a stalemate. ”

After a long period of inseparable stalemate, in order to win as soon as possible, the two sides invariably tore up the agreement that "alien technology shall not be used for military purposes", and transformed the alien technology they mastered into weapons. ”

"Human beings are like the gorilla in the cartoon with the nuclear button in his hand and a bewildered face, ignorant and fearless. Soon, the war zone was turned into a glass-like scorched earth, with no grass, and the population of Sita Star was sharply reduced by one-fifth. ”

"The cruelty of the war quickly alerted some people, some social activists, and set off an anti-war wave, which soon swept the world. Due to the close cooperation between countries before the war for more than 200 years, there were countless transnational and inter-ethnic marriages, and mixed-race children accounted for a large proportion of both sides of the war. ”

"These mixed-race people are on one side, but they are inextricably linked to the other. This kind of heart-wrenching and longing for peace is the most painful. As soon as the anti-war trend appeared, it was immediately welcomed by these mixed-race children, so it was natural for mixed-race children to become the mainstream of the anti-war wave. ”

"After the anti-war wave emerged, the warring parties were no longer monolithic within themselves. Although the anti-war wave quickly subsided under the strong bomb pressure of various governments, it did not disappear, but turned from light to dark. ”

"After three years of hard fighting, the scales of victory began to tilt in one direction. Since there is controversy, I will not say which way to lean towards. The superior side, while encircling and suppressing the losing side, sent troops to take over the 'Ark of Civilization' and its base. ”

"Previously, neither of the warring sides had garrisoned troops for fear of damaging the Ark of Civilization and its base. Now, they want to start the alien colonization plan as soon as possible and leave this war-torn world, which is seriously deteriorating and devastated by the ecology. But will they get their way?"
