189. One foot at the speed of light

"Hey, don't say goodbye to the body, it's so unlucky."

Gu Tao lay on the transport board extended by the Titan robot, allowing himself to be fixed, while several people next to him, especially Wei Wei, leaned on the shoulder of the sixth son and looked at him with red eyes and sobbed. Shaofeng was no better, his nose and eyes were red, and he held Xu Mengmeng with one hand and quietly wiped his tears with the other.

Seeing this scene, Gu Tao couldn't bear it: "I'm just going to evolve, can you not use this kind of look." ”

Liuzi was actually a little sad, and her voice was a little hoarse: "You are lying here, it feels like you are about to be sent to be cremated." ”

"Not cremation! Again, not cremation! ”

"Captain, the gene lock will start unlocking in one minute and thirty seconds, please get ready."

Gu Tao didn't explain anymore, but just took a deep breath: "The task I gave you, you just go and carry it out, I have completely unlocked the weapon authority for you, and if you really can't do it, summon Xin Chen." ”

The extension board took Gu Tao and slowly entered the inside of the Titan Mecha, and before closing the door, Gu Tao was still shouting: "Be more careful yourself, don't worry about me, Wei Wei take care of them a little more!" Remember...... I ......"

Before Gu Tao's words were finished, he entered the inside of the Titan Mecha, and he wanted to beep a few more words, but there were only the last sixty seconds left, so he had to sigh, entered the medical cabin in the Titan Mecha, and then took out the anesthetic and gave himself a touch on his arm.

"Good night, Satania."

"Good night, Captain."

The anesthetic worked quickly, Gu Tao lost consciousness almost instantly, and then his clothes were stripped off by the mechanical arm, and the skull on his stomach was also full of tubes, lying there like a vegetative person, all the spinal nerves were connected to special equipment, just waiting to be able to retain consciousness in case of evolution failure.

But this time Gu Tao didn't sleep as deeply as he did the first time, and after his body entered the vegetative state, he had already begun to dream, but ......

"Satania, it's not a dream."

Gu Tao found himself sitting at a long table in a gorgeous gown, in front of a delicate silver plate with a beautifully decorated steak that had the Michelin-starred chef's favorite brownish feel and a faint aroma.

You can't smell it in your dreams.

"Good morning, Captain."

Outside, a girl in a maid's outfit walked in with a cart with a bright smile and long blond hair.

"You're so bold." Gu Tao cut a piece of steak into his mouth: "You dare to hijack my consciousness." ”

Satania's anthropomorphic appearance in the consciousness space is that of a woman of about fifteen, with a typical Eastern European appearance, and she still looks very delicate, and the appearance of her maid costume is basically the same as uniform temptation.

"Captain, I didn't kidnap you, I don't have the guts." Satania pushed the cart to Gu Tao's side, and then handed him red wine, foie gras and caviar: "It's the program's logic that determines itself." ”

"Huh?" Gu Tao tilted his head and looked at the strange artificial intelligence in front of him: "You mean, there is a logic program that pulls my consciousness in when I unlock the second genetic lock?" ”

"Yes." Satania sat at Gu Tao's feet: "The programmer is ......"

"Sister Tifa?"

"No, it's Dixus, the top executor of the Pan-Human Ethics Committee."

Gu Tao's brain exploded with a buzz......

To put it simply, the supreme executor of the Pan-Human Ethics Committee is actually equivalent to the supreme consul of the home planet, in other words, the emperor of Gu Tao's hometown, the supreme commander of a second-level civilization. According to Gu Tao's understanding, he is a god-like character, with many titles that are scary and excellent.

First of all, the Pan-Human University was created by him, and he was also the first president. Second, he is the best scientist in the entire home planet, and he is the teacher of Mr. Gu Tao. Third, he has absolute force, and when the twenty-seven genetic locks are unlocked, he is almost like a god. Fourth, he ...... It is Gu Tao's grandfather, an ethical and physiological grandfather, and Gu Tao has a quarter of his genes.

But...... He had already passed away, before Gu Tao came to Earth. And his death is also one of the most famous unsolved cases on the home planet, because he is far from the age of death, but he died like this, and his relatives are not even allowed to visit.

Gu Tao had actually wanted to find out the truth about his death, but at that time, it was already in the final stage of preparation for leaving for Earth, and time did not allow it.

And he didn't expect that today, he actually got such shocking news that the old man actually left such a back door on the explorer spaceship.

Soon, the door slowly opened, and a richly dressed old man with a scepter in his hand slowly walked in, Gu Tao looked at him directly, and he didn't even swallow what was in his mouth.

"It's been a long time since we've eaten together, and the last time was when you were five years old."

The old man's voice is the voice in Gu Tao's memory, he still remembers that his father had completely broken with this old man when he was seven years old, and as for why they broke up, there was no answer until Gu Tao set off for the earth, but since then, Gu Tao has never seen this grandfather again.

"Well, five."

"More than 100 years." The old man sat opposite Gu Tao, and Satania bowed his waist and poured red wine for the old man: "Taste it, what is the difference between it and the fine wine on the earth, it should make you reminisce about your hometown." ”

"Wait." Gu Tao frowned: "Why are you here?" ”

"It's not your turn to ask me questions." The old man was as domineering as he remembered, his voice was calm, but it could not be refuted.

Gu Tao sneered: "Do you still think you are still the emperor?" Do you still think I'm still that Martha? ”

The old man paused and chuckled: "If your father hadn't been so stubborn, I'm afraid you would have been the emperor by now." ”

"Grandpa, we haven't had an emperor for a long time, and we've had no for two thousand seven hundred years."

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, then he put the scepter on the table, rolled in front of Gu Tao and asked in a contemptuous tone, "Is it?" ”

Well, he is the emperor......

That...... Isn't Lao Tzu a prince? The emperor's grandson, right, Niu Pi, my lord.

Gu Tao laughed sheepishly, and then took a big sip of wine: "But you can also see that I am just a small person on Earth now, and my identity is no longer recognized by the mother planet, am I considered to kill Prince Matt who is addicted to fishing and has no intention of returning to the country?" ”

The old man ignored him, just raised his head to look at the gorgeous chandelier above the dining room: "You, as my grandson, have disappointed me too much. ”

"Hey, Grandpa. Aren't you sorry to say this? Have you ever taken care of me for so many years? ”

"How do you think you lived this big?"

The old man said nonchalantly, and then gently put his hands on the table: "Without me, do you think that with you, your father and your common mother, you can live to adulthood?" ”

"Talk is talking, if you want to talk about my mother, I'll turn my face with you."

"Presumptuous!"

"I'm just presumptuous." Gu Tao squinted, his demeanor was no different from the old man opposite, it was carved in a mold.

The old man stared into his eyes for a long time before he smiled: "This is my descendant." ”

Gu Tao: "??? ”

"But you're really too weak, too weak for me to imagine." The old man sighed: "I ask you three questions, can you answer them?" ”

"You ask."

"Why is it that the entire galaxy is human, with the same genome?"

Gu Tao was stunned, and then scratched his head: "...... of Buji Island"

"Why is every human civilization going in a different direction?"

"No......" Gu Tao coughed: "I don't know." ”

"Why are the laws of physics and the rules of the world the same in all civilizations?"

"This, this, this...... This ......" Gu Tao's head suddenly swollen: "I don't know." ”

The old man seemed to be very satisfied with Gu Tao's answer, and then laughed softly: "I don't know either." ”

You don't know you ask me? Are you well fed?

Gu Tao muttered in his heart, full of dissatisfaction with his own grandfather, this old man ...... It's really annoying, it's really boring to put an emperor score with your grandson.

"So I chose eternal life to study this issue, and before you left home, I chose to die out of myself and digitize consciousness in all corners of the world." The old man took a sip of red wine: "This is what a scientist should do, not like you who are entangled with women all day long." ”

"Bastard, you betrayed me." Gu Tao pointed at Satania: "Are you itchy skin?" ”

Satania stuck out her tongue, and then suddenly stood upright: "Satania will always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Looking at this unassuming Satania, Gu Tao suddenly realized a very serious problem.

"Let me sort it out." Gu Tao took a deep breath: "The first time I failed in super evolution, my body was reconstructed, but I couldn't find the relevant content in the log, or I found it by looking through the physical record sheet myself." Satania's serious violations at that time were actually not Sister Tifa's consciousness at all, but instructions from you. After that, you sent the message of my death to my home planet, causing me to completely disassociate myself from my home planet, and finally go through Satania to further control my behavior? It's so calculated. ”

"The home planet is gone." His Majesty the Emperor suddenly said very calmly: "Civilization is dead, and I sent the news of your death to prevent those thieves who have become wanderers from following the previous clues to find you. ”

Gu Tao was stunned for a moment, and his expression became extremely angry: "What? ”

"I say, our civilization is dead."

"I don't believe it." Gu Tao shook his head vigorously: "Such a powerful civilization...... So great civilization...... Then the civilization of peace ......"

"But it's just dying." The old man raised his head and looked at the ceiling expressionlessly: "The only thing I can do is to send you out to a low-level civilization, so that you have a chance to solve this mystery, but I didn't expect that in the end, you were the only one who survived." ”

"You expected that, didn't you?" Gu Tao propped his hands on the table: "You expected our civilization to be finished, didn't you?" ”

"That's right, I've been suppressing human body technology and super technology, but in the end I can't suppress it, I have been living for the empire for one hundred and thirty years, and I have a clear conscience." The old man sighed: "The problem you have been worried about will not happen, the mother planet will not send people again, they are finished." ”

"I don't believe it." Gu Tao shook his head vigorously.

The old man turned his head to look at Satania: "Tell him the truth." ”

Satania bowed deeply, then began: "In the twelfth year of your absence, there was a heavy particle collision around the home planet, and seventeen colonies were reduced to ashes. In the twenty-seven years since you left, a particle storm has visited the home star field, the entire star system has suffered an unprecedented disaster, the population of the home star has plummeted to 30%, the resource war has begun, and the last colony of the home planet has disappeared, and all the institutions of the home planet have been taken over by artificial intelligence. In the eighty-second year of your departure, the artificial intelligence completes its work tasks and performs self-destruction. All the systems of the parent star go offline, and the white dwarf engulfs the parent star, which then collapses, forming a black hole. The second-class centaur civilization was declared extinct. ”

"How do you know this information?" Gu Tao asked sharply: "Say!" ”

"Does it make sense for you to give anger to a robot?" The old man sighed: "Of course I have the ability to know these things, I am a prophet, the only prophet. ”

Gu Tao's world collapsed in an instant, and he sat there stunned for a long time without speaking, his face was cloudy.

"Give me an explanation." He raised his head, his eyes red, and said in a gloomy tone, "I must be given an explanation!" ”

"Let's eat first." The old man was unhurried: "You'd better calm down." ”

Calm down? How to calm down, no matter what, the home planet has always been the driving force to support Gu Tao to continue, whether it is a person to complete the task or a person to silently establish a defense system, the home planet is his spiritual pillar, even if he knows that the mother planet may kill him, but as long as there is this worry, he feels that what he is doing is meaningful, and now ...... There was actually a cheap grandfather who ran out and told him that civilization was dead? Himself became the widow of an entire civilization?

Is this acceptable?

Normal people can't do it, okay.

Gu Tao couldn't go home before, but he always felt that in the other direction of the universe, there was a place called his hometown there, even if he couldn't go back, it was enough to know that it was still so beautiful. Now the home is gone, and it has become a black hole......

Gu Tao cried at that time, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

"It's not productive." The old man brushed his sleeves away: "Tell Satania when you calm down, and come back to me when the time comes." ”

The old man left, but Satania did not leave, she walked to Gu Tao and gently hugged his head: "Captain, please forgive me, I was designed by His Majesty the Emperor, and I can't tell you any information without his approval." He feared that you would not be able to bear it, and that the home planet was indeed over, but His Majesty the Emperor had left you a huge legacy. ”

Heritage?

Gu Tao suddenly became excited, and touched a handful of tears and snot: "What? ”
