1069, Void Legacy (1)
——TR79.12.8——
Korhal IV., the living room of the Doge's Palace.
"Hmm...... Android......" Emile Mengsk muttered to himself as he looked at the e-book in his hand.
It was a petite girl with blond hair and blue eyes, dressed in a dark blue jacket and jeans, a blue velvet scarf like a ribbon, and a peaked cap crooked on her head, as if she was thinking about something.
"Excuse me, miss, do you have any questions?" The tutor, who was handsome, dark-skinned, kind-hearted, smiling, and dressed in a straight suit, stopped explaining, put down the silver tablet she was demonstrating, and turned to her to ask.
"Nothing...... I just think ......" Emile blinked, "It's a miracle that none of the colony ships have disappeared by using that kind of leap technique that we still can't parse." ”
"No, miss, I think you understand the opposite, just like the human history I explained before, it is precisely because of the occurrence of those miracles and small probability lucky events that we can sigh about them here, otherwise, there will be another intelligent species here to lament how unfortunate it is for mankind to perish." The governess retorted mildly.
"Well, I see." Amir pondered for a moment, then nodded knowingly.
"Then, I'll continue," the governess paused, "As I said before, in the year 2070 AD, dissatisfied with the slow exploration of the universe by humans, Mr. Victor Manswell, the richest man in the world, invested heavily in private space exploration, and in 2075 launched six deep-space colony ships each carrying three million gene pools to the Centaur Alpha Nebula, which were named Manswell, Hyacinth, Iris, Qiuju, Narcissus and Lamei, respectively. This is an expression of Mr. Manswell's aspirations for peace and development. ”
"I know that's next, it's a 'time gap.'" Amir raised his hand.
"Yes, miss, the planned plan of these colony ships is to have the ship's computer make the sailing route, and some volunteers who occasionally thaw up and wake up to maintain it, and finally arrive at a habitable planet by spending an extremely long time, but when the first volunteers woke up, they found that the six colony ships were in a strange space now known as 'subspace', and all the timekeeping tools had completely failed, so it was impossible to tell how long it had been since the spacecraft was launched, and the event was called 'time fault'." The governess continued:
"After deliberation among the volunteer representatives, it was decided to continue with the plan made before departure, but since the timing tool was no longer effective, someone had to be awake at all times and wake up their replacement before resuming sleep, which at the time seemed undoubtedly to have abandoned the possibility of their own arrival in the New World, so a few years later, when the six colony ships left the subspace and arrived in Koprulu, these volunteers who had already appeared to be the leader of the human race, Miss's father, Mr. Angus Mengsk is one of them. ”
"Uh-huh." Amir propped his chin on two fists and listened attentively.
"The first planet that the colony ship arrived on was Terra, the capital of the Terran Confederacy, and it was very amazing that its rotation, revolution, gravity, temperature and even air ratio were exactly the same as the characteristics of the earth from which the colony ship set off, although many people suggested that it should be named 'Planet Gaia' or 'Second Earth', but it was finally named this word synonymous with 'Earth'." The tutor's finger swiped over the data board, showing Terra's stats:
"Because I don't know how long I have been lost in 'subspace', even if some nostalgic people still use the AD year, how to determine the current time is also a problem, and in the end, the first federal parliament decided to set the day the ship arrived in Terra as the first year of the new calendar, and the star time is based on the landing position of Terra, which is the Terra calendar (TR) and Terra time we are using."
"It's amazing how the technology of the colonial ship has been able to develop to the current level in just seventy-nine years." Emile turned his gaze out the window.
Since the living room itself is more suitable for living, although there are many objects and ornaments with obvious sense of technology, the overall is not too abrupt, but the view beyond the giant floor-to-ceiling windows is quite shocking.
At the bottom of this jungle, on the staggered roads and overpasses, all kinds of vehicles are busy, and sometimes there are flying machines passing between the buildings, and higher up, huge airships carry equally large information boards to broadcast various announcements, news and even advertisements.
"No, miss, this is not human technology, otherwise we should continue the technology and architecture of the earth," the governess shook her head, "it comes from a pioneer civilization. ”
"Pioneers?" Amir tilted his head in confusion.
"Almost immediately, after the first colonists began to explore the surrounding star sectors in Tyranny, they discovered this ancient civilization on the verge of extinction and named it Ute." The tutor adjusts the clipboard in her hand to reveal a huge, squid-like and octopus-like creature, which appears to be entrenched in some kind of underwater city with a very unique shape, but inexplicably similar scenery outside the window.
"Phew-" Emile leaned back, expressing his displeasure with the soft-bodied figure.
"Oh, I'm sorry," the governess said with a quick two clicks to remove the octopus pattern, "and then there's the war with the 'Pioneers' that has lasted less than a year. ”
"Huh? Are they that weak? Amile blinked, as if he didn't understand.
"There is no information leaking from the Federation on this point at this time, but it is certain that they did not fight back after being attacked by humans, but simply fled." The governess turned the page again, revealing a not-so-clear vision of a giant spaceship taking off, and it did look like a hasty escape.
"But at present, humans can't explore the bottom of every planet, right?" Emile gestured out the window to the pale cyan sea in the distance.
"About this...... Who knows," the tutor closed the data board: "Today's history lesson is over, and next time I come, I should be able to talk about advanced mathematics, Miss can look forward to it." ”
"......" Emile suddenly showed a loveless expression.
"Pretending to be pitiful may be useful to the old lady and young master, but it is useless for me to have to do the job," the governess smiled and walked to the door, "See you tomorrow, Miss Amir." ”
"Hmm...... See you tomorrow, Mora. ”
