51. Dawn, glow and wind

"We're going to be restocking here, and you can also go there and buy the supplies you need. The ship is scheduled to depart after the third cosmic hour, so please be sure to return to the ship 30 minutes before departure. ”

Liu Yao informed the crew of the navigation status of the jump ship through the ship's broadcast, and Jianzhou stepped down from the charging platform and walked to the window, observing the scene around the jump ship.

At the end of the four pilot routes that encircled the Jump Ship was a hollow annular space station that rotated endlessly around an axis of symmetry. Due to the dark blue paint covering, this low-key and majestic space station is not easy to detect when viewed from far away in the universe, even if it has a size similar to that of the Celestial Fortress.

As the leapship approached, the station was separated from the plane of the center of the circle that rotated vertically around the axis of symmetry, like a doughnut being properly divided into two halves and pulled apart on both sides. The Leap Ship smoothly passed through the open exit of the space station and came to the center of the space station.

The security guard inside the ship was lifted, and the straps tied to the sleeping bags were also lifted - since the jump ship was made by TIW, there was no habitation area suitable for Earth and Cal creatures, except for a few mechanical citizens, the rest of the people had to set up sleeping bags in the rescue pod directly opposite the armament room to rest.

"Are you going to buy something, right here at this relay station?" Alisa came to Jianzhou's side and looked out the window at the still spinning space station.

Jianzhou touched Alisa's head: "Do you need to find someone to accompany you?" ”

"Of course not...... Oh, I don't know, I just learned that there was a former war cemetery in this relay station, and I wanted to check it out. Alisa turned off the streamer and tilted her head to the side.

"Anjia doesn't want you to worry about her for a long time after she leaves," Jianzhou put his arm around Alisa and accompanied her towards the quantum channel platform, "but I need some machines that can analyze the data and samples I collected before the explosion of 4419, I have already booked it in advance, and I will go and pick it up myself." ”

"Thanks, Dad." Alisa's tone was much more relaxed, and she followed Jianzhou towards the slightly flickering quantum channel, "By the way, I also want to install a few thrusters for myself, so that I can also protect the people around me." ”

"As far as your energy output mode is concerned, you will be in a coma if you can't fly twenty kilometers," Jianzhou took the previously installed thrusters into his body, "Let's help you upgrade it when the time comes, I don't ask you to protect others, you have to be able to protect yourself." ”

......

"When was the last time you heard from Jer?" Chen Sheng held a data tablet and sat opposite Avisu in the conference room.

"You're like an inquisitor." Avesu smiled and handed over the data board, Chen Sheng recorded the time, and handed the tablet back to Avesu:

"I just...... In general, I don't know you very well, and I'm sorry for my indifference. ”

"I've heard that you're still a civilization builder, have your work been frustrated by the popularity of adaptive helmets over the years?" Avisu looked at Chen Sheng, who was busy in front of him, and asked casually.

"Civilization building does not refer to work such as diplomacy and translation," Chen Sheng finished recording and put away the data board, "There are still many life civilizations in this universe that are so backward that you can't imagine that there exist, and without civilization building work, they will form an irreparable gap in science and technology with the united civilization, and eventually they may even perish themselves." ”

Avesu leaned back and the chair fell back a little overwhelmed: "Yourself to perdition? I really appreciate this on Earth, before there are no civilization builders or any coalition governments, you can actually restart your own civilization on your own. If you look in the historical documents, you will not find a second civilization as tenacious as you. ”

"If you persist like this, I don't think it will be beneficial for you and me to communicate in the future," Chen Sheng knocked on the table, "I can clearly feel that your tone is full of targeting and mockery. Since I don't think I've offended you, I hope you'll give me an explanation for all of your actions. ”

Avesu fiddled with the data board and said absentmindedly, "The war of human civilization, isn't it, quite powerful. In the end, the rest are not victorious, but the remaining people who started the construction of civilization under the banner of the blue bird, and developed to the current Earth civilization, I admire it, how can I target and ridicule you? ”

Chen Sheng was a little annoyed, he had no grievances with the behemoth in front of him, and the other party was also wearing surveying glasses and looked like Sven, how could he suddenly have such a bad attitude towards himself? Chen Sheng stood up:

"Tell me, Mr. Avisu, what is the source of your criticism of me? It's a fait accompli that we're here, and I don't think it's going to do us any good in the future. ”

"We are here to save this universe, Ms. Chen Sheng." Avesu put away the tablet, sat up straight, and looked down at Chen Sheng, "But Jer also told me before leaving, Ms. Chen Sheng, you have too many secrets, these secrets are closely related to this universe, I need to be more careful with you." ”

Chen Sheng was stunned, Jer would take this step, he didn't expect it anyway. And now if you want to regain the trust of a Cal person, as a civilization builder, you also know how difficult it is.

"Of course, what he said is to be more careful with your safety," Avesu said with a sudden smile, and Chen Sheng looked at him with a puzzled expression, "It's just that instinctively, I'm not at ease with you Earthlings, not only because of prejudice, but also because your partner told me what he saw in the Scope Vision. ”

"What is it?" Only then did Chen Sheng realize that Jianzhou's mission might have failed due to the interruption of the energy supply to the fortress, and now the image information brought back by Jianzhou that Smart was analyzing might also be incomplete, "Where is Jianzhou's mission?" ”

"Due to the limitations of the rules of time and space, he can only see the time that belongs to history," Evisu said, "but because of this, he chose to look back at the replay of the Cosmic Exploration Scope at the Cal Country Base of the Celestial Army, to be honest, although it is not complete, it can be regarded as a fierce prediction." ”

"You go on."

"The Cosmic Scopefinder Project is not just for the Cal and Lave civilizations."

Chen Sheng took a deep breath and waited for Avisu to continue to explain to himself.

"The civilizations involved are Cal, Lave, Earth, tiw, and the extinct Vic."

β€œVic!” Chen Sheng almost exclaimed the name, "It's the steam civilization that was destroyed in the antimatter catastrophe due to the destruction of planet Ξ±-47?" Why do they have anything to do with the Cosmic Scope? ”

After Chen Sheng finished asking, Smart looked at her sideways for a long time, and finally spoke: "I have two questions, the first one, why do you say that Vic is a steam civilization?" ”

"Isn't it?" This may be the first time that the two in the room have wondered each other's words and actions at the same time, "Although it is true that I did not have enough time to research the evolution of Vic's civilization during the time of the Antimatter Catastrophe, I believe that my general understanding of Vic can not be wrong. As of NC026, no civilization on planet Ξ±-47 has surpassed the Steam Civilization Era, and I believe that it should be Vic. ”

"Vic, Steam Civilization?" Smart wiped his face with four hands in turn, glaring at Chen Sheng, "Even if you don't know about it from academic sources, you should also learn about their cross-era nuclear fusion energy technology from various sources?" Even now, almost all nuclear technologies involving high-speed neutrons have made use of their neutron-guided rails, well, how could you not have heard of it? ”

"In the literature of the Earth Celestial Domain Force, it is mentioned that Ξ±-47 is a planet with a structure close to Kepler-256, and the civilization he gave birth to Vic has the potential to develop into the nuclear power age within 200 universes." Chen Sheng recalled what he had taught in class, "Is there any problem? ”

"Kepler-256, the age of nuclear power, potential," Avesu's expression was full of confusion and consternation, "Do you think it was six or seven thousand years ago?" Are you still writing a novel here, it's pure fiction, I'm afraid it's similar? ”

"Vic had the most powerful nuclear energy R&D team in the universe at that time and the most advanced nuclear industry, but due to the irreversible serial leakage caused by the radioactive elements in its geological structure in the excessive experiment, it became a giant high radiogen and continued to destroy the field balance of the universe......" Evis explained halfway through, seeing Chen Sheng holding his lowered head and trembling, and slowly lowered his voice, "If you can't accept it, we can discuss this matter later, after all, I still have a question." ”

"I don't really want to hear it, but it looks like you're not going to stop, right?" Chen Sheng rubbed his frowning brows and closed his eyes tightly as he spoke.

"My second question is, Ms. Chen," Avisu paused, "but it's actually a more interesting question now. ”

"What is it?" Chen Sheng glanced at Avisu hard.

"That is, why doesn't your husband know anything about Vic?"

......

Alisa gets up in front of a tombstone with no words inscribed on it, and as a robot, she has no tears, no heart, no brains in the strict sense of the word.

But just as she turned to leave, she felt tears run down her cheeks, her heart beat directionlessly, and her brain went blank.

A Lave Celestial Engineer who saved himself from fire and water many times to protect his father, and Cal's diplomatic assistant, whom he met by accident and who rarely had a companion for him, left in an unpredictable disaster.

Even right in front of his own eyes, he was brutally and mercilessly killed.

"You're grieving," Chen Jianzhou walked towards Alisa against a square composite box, Alisa looked down at her body, yellow light flowing, Jianzhou looked into the depths of the cemetery, "I understand, this is also inevitable, but I still want to say ......"

"Anja wouldn't want me like this," Alisa turned off the emotional streamer and reloaded her holographic digital features on the display, giving Jianzhou a smile, "I will definitely try." ”

"I'll be by your side, don't worry about anything," Jianzhou walked over to Alisa's side, and the two of them walked towards the quantum channel platform together, "We'll all be here, Chen Sheng, Smart, Todd, we'll all be there." ”

"Hmm." Alisa replied simply, but the hollowness in her heart was still so deep and cold.
