030 Harvested
Humans are gifted to kill each other, and if they are not careful, they will let the war spread to every planet where humans live, and it is easy to be ruthless and reckless. As a result, they will exterminate each other.
It's like a nuclear winter on Earth, when one side uses the ultimate weapon, the other or the other side will retaliate immediately. The hard-working construction of the planet's surface city and space station were destroyed in an instant, and the enemy, their own people, soldiers, and civilians were all consumed by the flames of war.
But humans are sometimes more tenacious than small ones, and this war has not completely wiped out humanity, and there may be survivors in the underground structures of some planets. But without spaceships, factories, mines, government agencies, and even energy, these people have fallen into boundless darkness, and can only survive and reproduce.
In order to survive, books, knowledge, and technology are all floating clouds, and the only thing is to eat first and not be starved to death and freeze to death. At this time, the more knowledge there is, the faster it will die, and there is no condition and time to inherit the knowledge completely. Generation after generation, stubble after stubble, it will not take many years for the technologically advanced human civilization to regress to the Stone Age.
It's not just technology that's been lost, it's culture, and that includes language. It may be a coincidence that the two most powerful forces at the time were really exterminated, but their vassals survived.
This would explain why these two scripts are found in the ancient ruins of the New Edenes, but there are no Chinese and French among the dozens of ethnic groups of the New Eden, and there is no similarity. Hong Tao is sure of this, and all New Eden children who are ten years old can also be sure.
It took at least thousands of years for these survivors to recover to the level of civilization that can be written, and it took more than 5,000 years for the Emma Empire to build the first stargate in 21,000 AD, stepping on the footprints of their ancestors to once again take the steps of interstellar exploration. The era of the real great interstellar colonization began more than 22,000 years ago, when the Emma Empire reversely developed the jump engine from ancient civilizations.
Before that, interstellar voyages were dangerous and long, and to build a pair of stargates between two star fields, it often took hundreds of large transport ships to reach it after decades to hundreds of years of non-stop flight. As soon as many pilots fall into a deep sleep, they probably never wake up again.
There are still similar monuments to ships in several galaxies, and those ancient ships were the builders of the stargate at the time, but for some reason did not reach their destination, and floated permanently in space, becoming a living coffin.
What a brilliant achievement, if there had been no war at the beginning, and then 8,000 years of steady development, what would be the situation now? The clone pilot is probably not going to play, and it is not possible for humans to drive a spaceship through the universe just by using their consciousness, and a jump of 1000AU is not a fantasy.
Then let the thoughts fly, maybe everyone has a wormhole generator on their wrists, where they want to go, wave their hands, and the small wormhole will appear immediately, and two steps are tens of thousands of light years away, Sun Wukong has to cry when he sees it, chasing after the generator with a golden hoop stick.
It's easy to shine a flashlight on others, but it's hard to shine on yourself. Don't fight? There are fewer wars that you presided? From one's own point of view, it is to fight for survival, and from the other side's point of view, it is called aggression, which is no different from human beings 20,000 years ago? Human nature, unless one day human technology develops to the point where human nature can be fundamentally adjusted, this scene will continue to happen, and no one can stop it.
"It's a pity...... Depend on! Thinking about all this, Hong Tao shook his head helplessly, just wanted to express his emotions, suddenly realized a problem, and turned his head suddenly. Hey, those yellow-green eyes with a faint red glow were less than a foot away from him, and the owner of the eyeballs was staring at him with a crooked mouth and a smile.
"Aite, I made a mistake and should be in touch with your consciousness at all times. Would you like to tell me what you found in my collection? Before making a decision, think more about the Vorshin planet ......" The mechanical monster didn't overhear the guest's self-talk, and seemed a little unhappy, took the collectible in Hong Tao's hand, and made a threat while carefully examining it.
"Miss Claire, I haven't offended you, so why bother. I can guarantee that I will be the first to inform you of any new discoveries in the future...... How do you ......"
The trick of pretending to be stupid is obviously outdated, Hong Tao has to change the trick, let's admit that it can't be done. It's really not a big part of the income to let it out, so I'll just drink some soup and have no problem.
But before the intention of cooperation could be explained, Hong Tao began to blink his eyes. The mechanical monster has changed its appearance, the metal skull is gone, the mechanical arm is gone, and the skin suit is gone, replaced by a long black dress.
"I know you're a little resistant to my clone, and I don't understand why, but I changed my body for you, and it's clear that I made the right choice." Seeing Hong Tao's stunned appearance, Claire smiled even more happily, and in order to better show her new look, she deliberately took two steps back and turned around twice.
"Uh...... Can the clone be changed at will? Claire's skirt is not a skirt to be exact, but more like the long shoulders worn by medieval European knights on the outside of their armor, with two pieces of cloth hanging down to the knees at the front and back, and only a little connection at the waist. It's better to stand still and not move, but if you move around a little, you can't cover anything, so it's better not to wear it.
"Why not? Would you like to see my clone backup? Although Hong Tao didn't say anything praised, Claire was still in high spirits and sent out an invitation.
"No, no, I was thinking about the possibility that the ancient civilization may have perished due to war. I know a little bit about the text on it, and it and the text on the stargate should belong to two different races. Just imagine, if there is a conflict of interest between these two highly technologically advanced races, as in the original war between the Emma Empire and the New Roman Confederation, the two sides are evenly matched, and maybe they will eventually use very powerful weapons, and the result is that they destroy each other. If this reasoning is true, it is likely that the New Edenians are descendants of an ancient civilization, spawned by war survivors. ”
It's not very objective to say that Hong Tao is a member of the appearance committee, but Claire's appearance and body are indeed too attractive, even if she knows that this skin is fake, the looming ups and downs under Changkan's shoulders still make Hong Tao's mouth a little dry and his blood sinks.
In order to avoid making a fool of herself, she had to forcibly change the topic, and the only thing that was enough to make Claire enter another state was professionalism. But you can't tell the truth yet, go to the essence and leave the dross, let's make an assumption first.
"We have consensus on this point, it's just that your point of view is more original. Two races, or two nations, is indeed very possible. Pick a few of the most representative ones and follow me...... What are you doing in a daze, afraid that I will plagiarize your new discovery? ”
As the theory was elaborated, the smile on Claire's face became less and less, and then she suddenly turned and walked behind the garbage heap, and after a few steps, she stood again, turning her head to look at the unmoving Hongtao.
Two seconds later, Hong Tao moved, took a few pieces of tatters that he had just seen with clear words, and followed Claire honestly, and had to keep his head down. The woman even took off her skin clothes, walked barefoot, and writhed her whole body like a cat, which was more seductive than looking inside her clothes.
Behind the garbage heap is a small factory, or a machine shop? Anyway, it is full of all kinds of equipment, and none of them are known to Hong Tao, and none of them are familiar. But at the back of the workshop, there is something Hong Tao is very familiar with, the escape cabin!
Glass-like transparent material, erect egg-shaped, full of amber derivative solution, and a few data ports on top. No, this is not an escape pod.
Soon Hong Tao denied his judgment again, because there was someone inside, another Claire, who was still in the form of a mechanical monster. This device is not one, but three in a row, and the two in the back are blocked, but Hong Tao is sure that there are also people inside, most likely Claire herself.
