The outer periphery of the galaxy has been blocked by a black curtain of low light speed, perhaps most modern people have forgotten the starry sky, but once it suddenly disappears one day, everyone will feel that something is suddenly missing in their hearts.

At this time of the year, the earth has just entered the "eternal night", the giant planets block the passage between the earth and the stars, the darkness will cover the world for a period of time, the starry sky and the sun disappear at the same time, the moon has long gone to the invisible position of the earth, only a fire moon, like a ghostly pupil, from the lonely sky, overlooking the city on earth.

In the sky above the city, one after another heavy transport ships carry construction resources shuttling through, ground facilities are being busy and intensely constructed, after nearly 50 years of hard work, human beings have built a foreign land into their own familiar appearance. After Mark woke up from hibernation, the Human Union** set up an office area for Mark in the administrative building of District 6, so that the former heroic leader of mankind could participate in the planning of various affairs as soon as possible.

In the Internet age, people's memories are refreshed quickly, and the new two generations are relatively unfamiliar with Mark, but the generation that has experienced the hijacking incident still deeply remembers him and Sun Tan, the two joined the expeditionary fleet and returned smoothly, and their status was once again improved, not to mention that Asker has been helping them.

The first message Mark received today was bad news, and the worst news he'd ever received, even worse than the shady start-up, that the restoration of the crystallization had failed, at least so far.

The research team originally planned to use the change subform of the crystal to repair the information storage of the empty egg, but this idea completely failed, and now the crystal mutation that humans can control is limited to the most basic types, and each subtype can extend to hundreds of new types of changes, which has not been compared before, and I don't know, once these crystal structures and the storage in the empty egg are put together, you can realize how big the gap between them is, the precision of these two structures is not at the same level at all, for example, If the structure inside the memory requires the precision of the electrical components, then the crystalline structure produced by human beings is only to the level of handmade iron, which is equivalent to trying to repair a modern industrial product with the technology before the first industrial revolution, which is simply impossible to succeed.

Of course, failure now does not mean that this will not work, and the new structures that each subtype splits out will be more complex than before, and there will be different changes in functionality, as long as the research continues, one day humans will be able to create components that can be used, and only need continuous accumulation of time and support, but that will be at least a few hundred years later, and it is impossible to achieve technological breakthroughs in a short period of time. There may be a way on the Zumiba side, but the relationship between humans and them is very delicate now, and they only regard this place as a safe haven, once the situation changes in the future, it is impossible to count whether it is friend or foe, and the matter of empty eggs and crystallization research cannot be revealed to them.

"Even in the kernel, I still think I am the king of the universe." This is a famous sentence from the works of Shakespeare, a famous humanistic writer from the prehistory period of the earth. Today's Tianfu Four is wrapped in the low-speed zone set by the Alliance, just like a small fruit core in the vast universe, where hopes and worries for the future of civilization are gathered, and whether the epic of human courage in the long history can be continued here, everything is still unknown in the fog.

Mark retracted his gaze staring at the fire moon outside the window, closed the curtains of the office, sat at the table and made himself a cup of thick cocoa, through recent training, he has slowly adapted to his bionic body, and the unreal feeling of being separated from the world when he just woke up from the dream is slowly disappearing, and everything around him is beginning to become real and vivid.

"So, what do you think we should do with it?" Asker, who was sitting on the other end of the communication screen, spoke to Mark, and Ax couldn't have been more obvious to him, of course, referring to the "prisoner" crystalline creatures they had captured and held on the Fire Moon.

"Maybe we should suspend the research of crystals and put the power in other directions first, I asked Sun Tan what he meant, the technology of crystals is too far from us, and we can't extract useful technology in a short period of time, and the gains outweigh the losses." Mark thought for a moment and said to Asker.

"What, kid. That's what we wasted so much manpower and material resources to hide from the world, you have seen that war, and only caught it under the nose of the Alliance, it was not easy to come by, and we can't let go of this shortcut. Asker's expression was as resolute as ever.

"What do you mean? Hearing you say that, you should already have an idea. ”

Asker pressed the button on the remote control in his hand, and two text reports appeared in front of Aske as holographic images.

"These are the two research reports sent by Qin Yi, their research team on the structure of crystal organisms, and the internal spatial structure of empty eggs to compare the study found that there may be a certain complementary relationship between the two, the degree of agreement is very high, maybe this crystal organism, in addition to serving as the key to the bottleneck of our research on empty egg civilization...... There are other uses as well. ”

"What do you mean......" Asker finished speaking, Mark had already guessed what he was going to say later, this was a very terrible and dangerous plan, very much in line with Asker's character, but when he thought of the grandeur of this plan, Mark himself was actually a little trembling with excitement.

"That's right, we're going to be promoted to the box master soon, and we're going to create a civilization by ourselves!" Asker cut the railway, the box owner is the name of the superior who created and manipulated the civilization eggs, these civilization eggs scattered in the universe, their original box owners were the ascendants who had left, and then they became the alliance, and now they ...... Humanity is finally going to get their hands on this field.

Asker plans to send the crystalline sample into the empty egg, the civilization inside the empty egg has disappeared, but the cosmic environment is still there, and the time inside is much faster than the outer universe, and it won't be long before humans can observe the new civilization born from the crystals in the civilization egg from the upper layer.

Need to break through the limitations of today's technology, the best way is to use the civilization egg, and Asker's plan can indeed create a civilization egg, human beings can learn the technology of crystals through observation, and the crystallization samples are grown in the miniature universe, even if it develops well in the end, no matter how high the technology is, human beings still have absolute suppression of them in the miniature universe.
