The year 156 of the Cosmic Era

100,000 light-years on the spiral arm of the center of the Milky Way. Han Feng looked at the barren planet in front of him. I can't help but sigh. Is this the home planet of mankind, Earth? But what about life? Is there still life here? Patrolling around the area found no signs of life. Han Feng felt an indescribable loneliness.

………………………………………………

400 years ago in the new century, human civilization had mastered the technology of J warp engine, and with the development of life technology, human life expectancy was greatly extended. At the same time, on the planet, network virtualization technology has reached its peak.

Whether or not human beings left the earth to explore the universe became an important topic at that time.

As a result, the results of the deliberation and voting showed that the majority of the human race chose to stay on Earth.

A small number of people sailed out of Pluto's orbit and out of the solar system in a warp engine spacecraft, sailing lonely in the cold and desert of outer space, looking for planets to colonize and establish a new human civilization.

After the departure of the pioneers who explored the outside world, the people who stayed on the earth were addicted to the virtual world, unable to extricate themselves, and it was difficult to make breakthroughs in the development of science and technology.

……………………………………………………

It's gone in the blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, the former home planet has become a barren. Those who have ever left Earth are already 20.3 light-years away. Known as SuperEarth, Glise 581d has established a new human civilization.

………………………………………………

Through extra-fetal cultivation technology and memory irrigation technology, people have vigorously developed the population, and the population has increased rapidly. The whole planet exudes a sense of life.

After more than 100 years of civilization development, it is also known as the "golden age" of new humanity, and the new humanity has taken root here.

And come into contact with other alien civilizations in the universe, realizing that they are just a drop in the ocean of cosmic civilizations.

Carry out scientific research and cooperation with other extraterrestrial civilizations. Finally, with the unremitting efforts of the entire civilization, it has developed into a third-level civilization. and joined the Galactic Federation of Civilizations and became a member of it.

Han Feng is a cosmic wanderer who has just entered the industry. By the very decades ago, the profession had become popular in the Federation.

Tens of thousands of wanderers, like moths to a fire, poured into the universe. Witness the grandeur of the universe.

Since he was a child, Han Feng likes to look up at the starry sky on the roof of the space city, and have a longing for the universe.

When faster-than-light spaceships were used by the government for civilian use, many new humans embarked on a journey into the universe.

When he grew up, he bought a spaceship and followed Ah Yu, a robot who grew up with him since childhood, to live his wandering life in space on a spaceship.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he inadvertently sighed in his heart. Yes! This is the original home planet of our human race. Now all that remains is desolation.

Cratered craters. As if to tell something, solid oxygen and nitrogen are scattered on the surface, some forming irregular bulges like small hills. There are only bare rocks and hard frozen soil on the earth. There are white patches everywhere on the permafrost. It was salt stains from the sea.

Where is there still civilization? This is the graveyard of a civilization.

Perhaps there are many such graves in the universe. They silently bear witness to the fact that there was a civilization here, and that it was once glorious.

Everything comes into being out of nothing, and then disappears into nothingness.

………………………………………………

Han Feng raised his eyes to look at the starry sky, and suddenly felt that he was really small, no one knew how big the universe was, but he was just an insignificant part of the universe.

Starry sky. A mysterious nebula looms, and almost nothing happens.

The universe is so mysterious. Attracting civilizations like moths to the fire to explore the universe, the civilizations in the universe are so fragile that they can withstand the wind and rain of the years more than a flower and a tree.

Now Han Feng couldn't help but think of the people of ancient times, who looked up at the starry sky and flashed with wisdom. Looking at the universe with longing, they interpret the mysteries of the universe with their limited knowledge.

All that remains of the Earth today is a thin atmosphere and a barren surface.

It's a no-go zone for life.

This is the graveyard of civilization!

How many civilizations have been born in this vast universe, and how many civilizations can last in the universe for a long time? How many civilizations have been wiped out in the cradle without exploring the universe?

Han Feng couldn't help but feel a little sad, according to ancient documents that have been handed down to this day, in the early centuries, 71% of the earth was covered by oceans.

However, there is still a sea on the earth today, and only a white ice field is in front of you. Those images can only appear in the history books of civilizations.

The severe cold of minus 100 degrees made Han Feng not even shiver a little when his genetically modified body was born.

You can imagine what the world is like.

"Ah Yu, come and help me collect samples from the earth. I want to simulate what happened to the Earth at that time. And for what reason did the human civilization on the earth not escape this disaster? ”

"Okay. Ah Feng"

………………………………………………

Stepping down from the spaceship, a simple and lovely person looks fleshy, so that people can't help but pinch it.

But it's not really human. Rather, it's an advanced AI bot.

In the development of science and technology in the new human civilization, artificial intelligence is no longer a simple mechanical creation, they are not made of cold metal, they have the same wisdom and emotions as human beings.

………………………………………………

However, according to the interstellar alliance composed of five-level civilizations, whether it is a carbon-based civilization, a silicon-based civilization, or a mechanical civilization, all are equal.

It does not pay attention to the nobility of the individual life level, but to the level of civilization.

The universe follows the law of the jungle, where weak strength is the original sin.

The hierarchy of civilizations in the fifth level of civilization in the Federation is generally similar to that of Nikolai Kardashev, a scholar of ancient human civilization on Earth. It's just that the theory put forward by Nikolai Kadashev is relatively crude.

Today, the new human civilization is in a state where it has just been promoted to a third-level civilization, which is far from the strength of the old third-level civilization.

It is considered to be at the bottom of the entire interstellar civilization federation, but the speed of development of human civilization has surprised the fourth-level civilization in the universe, so the potential of human civilization is very huge.

Therefore, it was favored by an old fourth-level civilization in the alliance and adopted as a subsidiary civilization.

Give the new human civilization a lot of science and technology. And promised that when the new human civilization becomes a fourth-level world civilization, it will cancel its subordinate relationship and form a military alliance with it.

If the human civilization reaches the fifth level civilization one day, it is hoped that the human civilization can teach the technology of the fifth level civilization to its civilization and help it become a fifth level civilization.

However, the robot civilization that has produced intelligence is a part of human civilization and coexists with each other. In human civilization, every wanderer in the universe has a highly intelligent robot by his side. Ah Yu is one of them.

……………………………………………………

Ah Yu collected soil samples from the earth and excavated human fossils in layers of rock. It disposes of fossils with care. Put the collected sample data into the scientific research machine in the spaceship.

"Tick, tick, tick" red light flashed.

Groups of data scroll across a virtual screen to form a set of videos.

In the video, the development of virtual technology on Earth has reached its peak, and the people in the nutrition pod are immersed in their own fantasy world. Drunk and dreaming of death, living the life of his own expectations.

is like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, and he can't tell whether he is a butterfly or a butterfly or Zhuang Zhou. They are cut off from the outside world, they can't hear information, they can't see changes, they can't hear the surging in the depths of galaxies.

They only see the world of their own imagination, and before they know it, they have become people who have passed away one by one. Society as a whole relies on nanobots for productivity.

And there are only a few people on Earth who have not sunk in the virtual world, and they are tirelessly exploring science in the outside world.

When they detect a small number of particle rays coming towards Earth from the depths of the universe, they go through a series of calculations and speculations. A startling conclusion was reached: it was a black hole violently ejected that could be preceded by a series of small pre-ejections. The scholars began to panic.

The panicked scholars cut off the virtual world and forcibly woke up the people who were immersed in the virtual world. And the people who woke up from the virtual world stepped out of the nutrition cabin and looked blankly at the panicked scholars.

The theory of scholars is not recognized, they only make a big joke as scholars.

"There can't be anything, if this really happens, and God wants to take us away, then take it." After saying that, he turned around and returned to the nutrition cabin, hopelessly addicted to the virtual world.

The scholars stayed where they were, at a loss, hoping to rally people together to think about how to survive the crisis. They even took this important matter as a joke. In the face of great disaster, he had no choice but to escape by himself.

The scholars fled Earth in a spaceship.

Three months later. A violent wave of particles shook the earth, and everything was steaming. All that remains is a speck of dust on the surface.

The picture stopped, and Han Feng stared at the picture for a long time.
