Should the matter of his contact with Renhe Civilization be reported to the headquarters? Ji Qing was a little hesitant, Zhao Qian had already made it clear to him that this was a private matter, and it also belonged to the freedom of the individual in the Renhe tradition, so he didn't want to ask for help directly through Kuafu's higher-ups, although that would be faster.

Zhao Gan's first impression on Jiqing was very good, polite, sincere, and had a kind of traditional feelings for his family, I don't know if it was affected by the gratitude and reverence of human beings for benevolence and reverence, for Zhao Gan's reasonable request, he respected his choice, and did not want to live up to the expectations of the other party.

But I'm just an ordinary crew member, how did this matter start? Jiqing didn't have a clue at all.

Jiqing felt that he couldn't think of any good way to sit here, so he decided to go to the Kuafu World first to complete the rest of Hualong Dao's itinerary, maybe he could think of other ways to change his attention.

Jiqing climbed to a relatively wide trimming platform in front of the countercurrent and stopped, from here the Hualong Road became steep, and the reverse current of 3,000 meters straight up is the last section of this acceleration channel, through which the spacecraft will be accelerated above the first cosmic velocity, so as to cross the dragon gate and fly into low-earth orbit.

In addition to the maintenance personnel gathering and resting, this refurbishment platform also doubles as a short-term material storage warehouse and a landing pad for transporting helicopters, so the area is very large, and the scenery surrounded by the surrounding mountains and the towering human miracle in front of the passage make Jiqing feel extremely comfortable, and there is no feeling of retreat and fear in the face of the steep reverse current channel ahead.

He stood on the edge of the platform, and saw the huge white chimneys emerging from the primeval forest in the distance, this harmonious environment seemed to be abrupt to make him a little distracted, he knew where the nuclear power plants were to supply power to this channel, there were 11 nuclear power plants like this around Hualong Road, such a configuration even to ensure that the national power supply of a medium-sized country is abundant, for this less than 200 kilometers of Hualong Road is only "just" enough.

"You're walking fast!" Jiqing turned his head and saw a pair of familiar figures, which were Mengxian and Qingyu who met last time.

Since Xiaoba guessed that these two people were ancestors, in addition to surprise and disappointment, Jiqing did not despise these two people at all, but had a kind of closeness and respect. In the difficult time when the Father of Kwa was exploring the universe alone, it was these ancestors who held fast to this little hope of this humanity, and their spirit will always deserve the respect of all those who inherit it. Now their bodies are asleep in the tank, but their spirits are accompanying the heirs in another form.

"It's such a coincidence, how did you get here?" Jiqing was a little surprised, the probability of being able to meet them in such a short time on this Hualong Road, which is about 190 kilometers long, is really small.

"We came here specifically, I heard Qingyu say that you were nearby, so I asked her to bring me over directly." Mengxian smiled and said, "I didn't have time to say anything about the rush of the separation last time, we would like to invite you to climb this upstream together." ”

"Well, I'm glad to be with you too." Jiqing agreed without any hesitation.

"That's great, having a friend to talk to on the journey can also make the monotonous journey more fun." Qingyu said on the side, her voice was very good, and every time she heard it, Jiqing was a little moved.

"This is the starting point of the last section," Mengxian looked at the reverse current ahead, "and I'm really looking forward to standing on the dragon gate again!" This path has a different meaning, and it can be said that it is the starting point for mankind to truly step into space beyond the galaxy, and it is hard to imagine that mankind will meet the first enlightenment teacher thousands of years later. ”

"Do you know benevolence and civilization?" Jiqing's heart was also full of emotion, and when he suddenly heard the last sentence, it touched another of his thoughts.

These intelligent programs represent dozens of generations of Kwafu crew members, and based on past experience, many crew members can get a lot of information about Kwafu's secret history from these artificial intelligences, and some people are keen to find these ancestors.

"Are you interested in Renhe civilization?"

"yes, I have something I dreamed about yesterday and they asked me for help?" Jiqing felt that they shouldn't have to hide anything too much, after all, they were not real crews, and there would be no bad impact.

"Oh? So do they have any requests? Mengxian seemed to be very interested in Jiqing's seemingly joking words, which was not what Jiqing expected.

"Do you believe in dreams?"

"Actually, I've heard from my friend that he should be one of the few people who can communicate with Ren and Life!"

"Can you tell me more about that?" Jiqing's spirit was lifted, it was really an unexpected joy,

"There's nothing worth keeping secret, he told me that at the beginning, there were two asteroids rushing towards the Kuafu, although through calculations, the asteroid's orbit did not coincide with the Kuafu voyage, but everyone still sweated, because at that time, the Kuafu hull was seriously aging, and even the energy was exhausted, the crew was only 9 people, and the rest of the people had already chosen to sleep in the tank, and all the other systems on the ship were either damaged or closed, and Kuafu had almost no self-protection ability."

Mengxian's simple words made Jiqing sketch an extremely tragic pattern in his heart, this pattern almost represents the end of Kuafu and the complete failure of mankind's first journey to outer space, and mankind may lose hope, and the earth will become the final graveyard of human civilization.

"When everyone was expecting these two asteroids to pass by and become a simple memory, the asteroid changed its orbit synchronously in the middle of the way, and changed its motion for the second time when it was very close to Kuafu, becoming a satellite around Kuafu."

This is a benevolent and living being! Jiqing thought of what Zhao Qian had said before, Renhe individuals could travel short distances to the universe alone.

"Everyone didn't know what was going on, this thing was beyond everyone's expectations, the asteroid was so strange that some people boldly put forward the hypothesis that it was an alien civilization manipulator. Through close observation in the later period, the two irregularly shaped oval asteroids, although the surface resembles the surface of a meteorite, occasionally reveal a unique light inside. This light is constantly changing, faintly revealing the state of the meteorite's interior, as if there is a regular movement of matter. ”

"After human civilization first came into contact with a lifeform with intelligence and even aerospace technology, it should have been cautious to establish contact, but at this time, Kuafu on the Kuafu has almost no ability to complete this seemingly simple task, and the only thing the rest of the people can do should be to wait."

Jiqing understands this helplessness very well, this is originally a carnival thing for humans, at that time, did the Kuafu crew who could only barely maintain their own survival have any choice?

"The asteroid and Kwafu remained in a wonderful state until one day a crew member who had been dreaming almost the same for several days spotted the opportunity and tried to secretly activate a sleeping pod, which was a serious crime at the time when it was a serious offense to consume energy without permission. However, he made the right choice, and after augmenting his own brain waves with a device, the human and Kwafu finally established their first contact. ”

"The first message of benevolence and civilization to mankind is a word composed of two simple words - ......etc.

"After that, Kwafu began to wait for a long time, and Renhe seemed to be stuck in a bottleneck in this way of connecting with humans, until the crew finally completed the transformation of the sleeping pod, and Kwafu successfully got Renhe's help and began to be reborn."

Jiqing probably knows the rest of the story, but the hidden history in front of him really opened Jiqing's eyes.

"Renhe began to understand human beings, and human beings were also understanding Renhe. The encounter with Renhe not only reborn Kuafu, but also opened the door to a new world for mankind, and through Renhe civilization, mankind's understanding of the universe entered a new stage. ”

"Human beings know that Renhe Life is born with a super perception of the microscopic material world, and can even see a lot of dark matter and dark energy that cannot be detected by humans, and this talent has allowed their research on microscopic matter in the universe to reach an extremely high level. Such a high starting point of life is that their basic theories and scientific and technological capabilities far exceed those of human civilization, and human beings are fortunate to find their teacher in the first contact with civilization, and that crew member is the opportunity for all this. ”

"Can I know the name of this crew?" Jiqing did not find the name of this crew member in the information, that arduous reconstruction process, those crew members who persevered to the end did not even leave the exact name, they just silently dedicated their remaining lives, solemnly handed over the unfinished mission to the successor, and then fell asleep, and some people did not even have time to choose to enter the tank......

"Yes, I also hope that everyone can know that my friend is called Yao, those two magical asteroids, that is, the life forms that Renhe communicates with humans, they accepted the names given by Yao, called Zhao Qian and Zhao Kun, Zhao is the head of the hundred family names, the word Qiankun encompasses all things, and is the source of all things."

"It's them!"

……

"You'd better not talk about it to anyone else." Just after Jiqing left the world of Kuafu, the black in front of him did not quickly become his familiar cockpit, but stayed for a while, and just when Jiqing was strange, Qingyu suddenly appeared in front of him and said such a sentence to him.

Jiqing felt that although Qingyu was gentle and kind, he rarely communicated with people other than his partner, and always stayed by his partner's side, reminding and replying to some simple words from time to time.

This time, he took the initiative to talk to Jiqing, and in this serious and direct way, which made him feel a little strange.

"Is there anything wrong?" Jiqing was a little puzzled, but thinking of the other party's possible identity, he still asked, "Is it not allowed for this kind of private communication between civilizations at the top of the fleet, do you need to report it?" ”

"Now things do not affect the overall interests of civilizations...... No, you don't. Qingyu obviously hesitated, "This kind of foreign-related incident should be kept secret as much as possible, especially since the two civilizations are in the run-in period, in case something is not handled well, I am afraid that it will cause some unnecessary trouble within Kuafu." ”

"Yes, I see." In fact, Jiqing still didn't understand what the other party wanted to express.

"How so? Renhe civilization is a completely different form of life from human beings, and we don't know their history, traditions, and social relations, so it may be beneficial to say that the person you are helping may be beneficial, but considering the other party being sought, can you be sure of the other party's wishes? And the other party's reaction after knowing about it? ”

"I see." Jiqing shook his head and nodded again.

"I'm not against your behavior of helping others, the other party's request can help within the scope of your ability, but pay attention to the impact, and it must be limited to the scope of personal behavior."

"Got it, I'll take care of it, thank you."

"Good luck."

The Kuafu is now a full complement of 2,520 people, and the Shennong is smaller, with a full complement of 221 people, and now serves 118 people.

The Kwafu is a large place with many people, but there is nothing good, slightly cramped personal cabins, compact passages, overcrowded rest areas, in addition to the large number of people and clutter, most of the crew has almost no communication in reality, just wearing virtual glasses and not knowing whether they are reading information, or dealing with the work at hand, and entering the world of Kuafu when they are off duty to hang out and have fun.

The situation of the Shennong is better, after all, it is on the way home, and listening to Yan Ru, their crew life is richer. The crew spent most of their time researching the Earth's materials, and were very interested in all the relevant information, and when they had time, they would talk about new discoveries and ideas in the materials, and from time to time they would imagine the days after returning to Earth. After all, it seems that many people in Shennong have the opportunity to set foot on that solid land, return to the origin of the original Kuafu crew, and no longer have to worry about the cosmic catastrophe that will appear in the next second.

Ji Qing was thinking about something in his head, his eyes looked blankly at the opposite wall, which was almost exactly the same as the wall in most of the rooms of the Kuafu, a slightly dull luster silently introducing his long age, Ji Qing didn't know how many people had paid attention to it, and how many people after him would stare at this wall with a simple structure from time to time. Jiqing couldn't help but think of the difference between himself and this wall, just as ordinary and simple, silently dedicating his life, as an aid to the Kuafu to move forward and explore the unknown space for mankind, it was just a tiny point on the line of the Kuafu plan.

Jiqing didn't sigh for too long, after all, this kind of thing was not the first time he fell into such a short thought, and when he was about to shift his gaze, he found a small abnormality in the corner of his eye, a small defect.

This small change attracted Jiqing, and he focused his attention on the past and observed it carefully. The defect was very small and strangely shaped, wide in front and narrow in the back, with several linear marks of different shades in one direction, which looked like some kind of deformed bacterial organism.

Jiqing seems to have seen a similar defect somewhere, but he really can't remember it, people's thinking is so strange, occasionally unconscious memories sometimes accompany a lifetime, under a certain external stimulus, it will suddenly appear in conscious memory, but this memory is often isolated, without other memory references, human beings can hardly find the source of this memory point.

Ji Qing thought for a while, but nothing came of it, he reached out to confirm the defect in front of him, the first time he didn't reach it, then he leaned up and gently touched the defect back and forth with the tip of his finger. The perimeter of the defect is relatively smooth, but the inside is indeed uneven, and there are sharp spike-like protrusions, which make Jiqing's sense of touch temporarily uncomfortable, but fortunately, the spikes are not sharp.

Jiqing withdrew his hand and rubbed his other fingers against each other, as if he felt a powdery object left on his fingertips, he put his fingertips in front of his eyes, but did not find the expected powder particles.

The grimace bacteria, Jiqing smiled, feeling that this defective shape was really interesting.

Jiqing searched the surface around the room, and sure enough, he found two more defects, the other two of which were very ordinary in shape, both of which were extremely short curved lines.

It turns out that the Kuafu still has such a flaw, and Jiqing really hasn't paid attention to this situation before.
