Chapter 140: Jones's Advance Team and Tunguska

The next day, Samantha's story continues: "We bid farewell to the planet that buried most of the Jones people, and set out on a new journey with tears. This time, there was no longer room for hesitation, and we turned straight to Earth. What we don't know is that the advance team on the Earth side is also in trouble......"

The first two groups of Jones to arrive on Earth consisted of a total of four space carriers. These Jones people have forgotten how many generations they have been breeding in space. Unfortunately, because it was an advance team, there were fewer technicians. The resources they bring with them are also insufficient in the areas of information and equipment related to manufacturing. Dating back, when they discovered that four motherships were starting to age, they couldn't produce new materials to repair damaged ones, let alone build new ones!

Because of the distance, although they knew what happened to the Jones people on a distant planet, they also knew that the last of their compatriots had turned to Earth. However, because the communication equipment began to be damaged beyond repair, they had to reduce the number of contacts.

To make matters worse, their mothership was so old that in the end they had to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall, barely making ends meet. They have no power or interest to care about how earthlings evolve and develop, but Baba persists and waits for the arrival of their companions.

"No wonder there were no new myths and legends later," Zhang Jingyi sighed when she heard this: "Your advance team has been too busy to take care of itself!" ”

"That's true," Samantha said, "and according to their last message, they can only assemble and repair the available materials into a mothership!" ”

"So, why don't they go to Earth to live?"

"I thought about it, but I couldn't do it at the time!" Samantha said: "At this time, the earthlings have entered the primitive society. These were originally prepared to transform the new Jones, and the leaders of the advance team, in order not to interfere with the natural development of the earthlings, did not want to destroy this plan for their own survival. On the other hand......"

Speaking of which, Samantha seemed a little hesitant. After a long while, she continued: "On the other hand, they found that the Jones people were completely inimmune to certain microorganisms on the earth, such as Yersinia pestis. Many of the medical equipment carried by the advance team is no longer usable and cannot be used to manufacture the corresponding medicines. The Jones people of the advance team, since they knew that the Jones team was destroyed on that planet, naturally did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, and went down to the earth rashly, causing irreparable consequences......"

"I see! In this way, deal with you," Shu Yunpeng said with a smile: "We can use bacteriological warfare and genetic warfare to completely defeat you!" ”

"Not anymore!" Samantha also smiled: "We have no problem going to earth now!" ”

"So, have they waited for you?" Qin Huaiyu asked curiously.

Samantha shook her head, "......No, we received their last message from about ten thousand Earth years ago, as well as some of the materials they have gathered......"

Jones's advance team struggled to support and waited for the arrival of his compatriots. However, no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't wait for that moment.

About 10,000 years ago, the advance team discovered that their last mothership was gradually getting out of control! When the power ran out, the hull began to wobble, and the gravitational pull of the earth towards the earth, they knew that the final moment had come!

They hugged each other goodbye, and then turned on the communicator and sent out all the information that should be said and left to future generations at once......

"They...... Fell? Qin Huaiyu asked softly.

Samantha didn't answer, just nodded.

"So, have you looked for them...... Where did it fall? ”

"I've been looking for ...... Tunguska! ......" Samantha said, "They found a place off the beaten path......"

"Tunguska?"

At dawn on June 30, 1908, Russians in the Tunguska region of Siberia were asleep. Outside, the gray-black sky suddenly picked up with a loud noise. The gale suddenly stopped, and after a moment of silence, there was an unusual sound from the ground, at first like a train running on the tracks, and after five or six minutes it was like a cannon roaring.

After fifty or sixty anomalous noises, the sound gradually diminished, followed by a brief but regular pause. Then the wind rose again. People who were sleeping were awakened by unusual noises, and children were staring at their beds with wide eyes and bewilderment.

The clock pointed to 7:43, the old man got up and opened the curtains, the gray light shone in, and the old man looked out the window. A cannon explosions rang out, and a flaming monster dragged a long pyrotechnic tail across the sky from south to north, disappearing beyond the horizon, and then, due to its speed, the flying object of vague size and shape reached the horizon and rose into a huge flame. After a minute or so, the earth began to tremble as a number of clear and distant whines were heard......

Subsequently, 3 powerful explosions were felt. Tunguska was surrounded by dust and smoke, tongues of fire in the clouds, and scorching waves of air swept through the vast taiga forest, where the raging forest fires burned for days and herds of reindeer were reduced to ashes.

"Damn! The Tunguska explosion turned out to be your masterpiece! Zhang Jingyi said: "It is said that although the expeditions to the Tunguska area have been intermittent, they have never stopped. As a result of the investigation, nothing of value was found, and in the end, there were different opinions. Some say it was caused by the fall of a comet, some say it was caused by a larger asteroid hitting the Earth, and some simply say that it was caused by the fall of an alien spacecraft! ”

The last statement seems to be the most realistic. Among the earthlings, there are still people who believe that the Tunguska explosion has something to do with aliens! Shu Yunpeng said, and then asked Samantha: "Have you been looking for it there?" What did you find? ”

"I've been there, but like you earthlings, I haven't found anything," Samantha said, "The Jones mothership has a self-destruct device, and as long as it is activated, everything on the mothership can be wiped out!" ”

"It's not going to be all for naught, is it?" Qin Huaiyu said: "I have seen a novel from my brother's time, which is about a little Russian boy who found a gray-black thing floating on the surface of a lake near Tunguska in Siberia. When he scooped it up, he found that it was so hard that his knife and axe didn't hurt it in the slightest......"

"It's hard? Can you float on the water again? ”

"Yes, that's how the novel is written," Qin Huaiyu nodded and said, "Later, they gave it to the scientists at the time. Scientists tried all the means available at the time, but they couldn't cut it apart. Moreover, they couldn't figure out what kind of material this thing was made of. ”

"Is this your material?" Zhang Jingyi asked Samantha very suddenly.

Samantha smiled, but did not reply positively: "This is what your literary works describe!" ”

Shu Yunpeng didn't say anything, he watched coldly, knowing that the Jones people were in key places, and they still had reservations. The Jones people are still wary of the earthlings.

"Although it is only a description of the novel, the idea of this novel is still correct!" Shu Yunpeng pondered for a while and said: "In addition to the sturdiness of the materials, the weight reduction of the aircraft used in interstellar navigation cannot be ignored. If its own weight is too large, it will definitely be bad for sailing. Samantha, what do you say? ”

"I have something to do, so let's stop here today!" Samantha said with a smile.

"Cunningly cunningly!" As soon as she returned to her residence, Zhang Jingyi said to Shu Yunpeng: "We repeatedly cited the topic to the material, but she just didn't answer!" ”

"Yes," Shu Yunpeng said, "but it's no wonder that the earthlings and Jones have been fighting for a hundred years, and the war has just ceased, and the two sides will inevitably test each other." The establishment of mutual trust is unlikely for a while, so we can only take it slowly. ”

"It looks like you have a long way to go!" Zhang Jingyi patted Shu Yunpeng's shoulder and laughed.

"There is indeed a long way to go to gain mutual trust!" Shu Yunpeng was very serious.

"The last ship of their advance team crashed, causing the Tunguska explosion? ......" Qin Huaiyu, who had never spoken, said as if talking to himself at this time.

"They think so, who knows!"

"Also, the appearance of earthlings is actually related to the Jones people, could it be that they are gods?"

"Didn't they say that they used to pretend to be Shinto and go to Earth to have fun?" Zhang Jingyi said: "Maybe this is also the case with God's rumors. ”

"It's hard to imagine!" Qin Huaiyu sighed: "It's unbelievable! ”

"It's really hard to imagine," Shu Yunpeng said: "People are always like this, and many things will feel ridiculous as long as they don't conform to their own mindset." As we think of the Jonesians, many people would rather believe in our own fictional God than believe that our human civilization has a short history and that we know too little about many things in the universe. Naturally, he will not admit that he is lonely and shallow. ”

"You're so humble!" Zhang Jingyi said with a smile: "No matter how advanced the Jones people are, they are not defeated in front of the universe?" ”

"Organic intelligent life will always be the unspeakable general of defeat in the face of the iron-faced and selfless universe," Shu Yunpeng said, "whether it is us or Jones, there is no doubt about this." ”

"Forget it! I can't talk about you," Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly: "Stupid and conceited human beings, claiming to be 'the spirit of all things'! Therefore, our pretense, our arrogance, and our delusion, relying on the illusion that we enjoy a special position in the universe, we do not know whether we are alive or dead, and we are constantly destroying ourselves...... You'll say that again! ”

"I'm telling the truth!" Shu Yunpeng said: "It is precisely because of the arrogance of human beings that they think that except for God, everything in the universe has to give way, and the earth has become what it is now." ”

"Okay, okay!" Seeing Shu Yunpeng so serious, Zhang Jingyi smiled: "The spirit of all things begs for mercy, okay!" ”

Qin Huaiyu watched the two of them bickering, and at this time, "Pu" laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Jingyi saw Qin Huaiyu snickering: "Your major is sharp-toothed, right?" ”

Qin Huaiyu pursed his lips and stopped smiling. She actually agreed with Shu Yunpeng very much, that time she accompanied him to find the Jones people, near Jupiter, saw a huge Jupiter, as if the spaceship was about to fall, and Shu Yunpeng asked her to find the earth, and saw the shock that the earth gave her so little, she remembered it vividly and will never forget it.
