Chapter 138: The Jones Man and the Earth
Watching the space cruiser carrying Yi Qianya and others disappear into the vast space, Shu Yunpeng turned back to Samantha and said, "I still want to continue to listen to your stories!" ”
"Don't worry, Major Shu, let's take you to visit our home first!" Samantha said.
"That's great!" Before Shu Yunpeng could speak, Zhang Jingyi hurriedly said: "I have long thought about opening my eyes!" ”
The feeling of visiting is impossible to put into words, and for a whole day, they only saw half of a Jones mothership. Jones people did not hide anything, and the people who accompanied the visit answered all questions, which surprised Zhang Jingyi.
"Aren't they afraid of leaks?" At the end of the day, during a break, she asked. Shu Yunpeng smiled: "The key is that you have mastered all their technical processes, and you can't imitate them!" ”
"Why?" Zhang Jingyi said: "That's a big deal! ”
"Materials!" Shu Yunpeng said: "We don't know what their materials are made of, it's like furniture made of wood, no matter how precise the craftsmanship is, its strength is not as good as that of furniture made of stainless steel!" ”
"It seems to be yes," Qin Huaiyu said, "so it's useless to see it!" ”
"So you'd rather let them share the resources of the asteroid belt in exchange for the ore refining technology they helped build the Martian base?" Zhang Jingyi said: "Really? ”
"Yes!" Shu Yunpeng replied that the mothership of the Jones people did not move at all under the heavy artillery bombardment of the earthlings, and there was not even a trace. is so strong that Shu Yunpeng will never forget: "Next, I want them to provide cutting-edge aerospace material manufacturing technology." ”
"Will they?"
"Let's take it step by step, I hope the cooperation is happy!" Shu Yunpeng groaned and said: "Let's do our best and strive to do our best!" ”
After the visit, Samantha was very trustworthy and began her story again.
"You may ask, how is it that our ancestors who began their interstellar voyage 80 million years ago are still stranded on Earth today?" Samantha said: "There is a reason for that, and this reason is that we and you earthlings can be said to be the same kind!" ”
Samantha's words were really shocking, and even Shu Yunpeng was taken aback: "How come? ……”
"Listen to me!" Samantha laughed.
The first Jones people to set out, about 70 million years ago, discovered the blue planet of the solar system and the earth. After a thorough investigation, they found that the Earth was very similar to their home planet, and even had a small moon, which was also very similar to their home planet. So, they stopped, intending to colonize the blue planet.
They discovered that the planet is extremely rich in species. The only downside is that the planet is dominated by a large reptilian creature that the earthlings later called dinosaurs. The presence of this species makes it difficult for other species to continue to develop.
After research, they decided to strangle these large reptiles. However, after a period of practice, it was found that this method was not ideal. In the end, they decided to create a natural disaster.
A large asteroid was sent to Earth by them from the asteroid belt. An asteroid that fell from the sky crashed into the Earth...... It was an extremely precise impact, and when the dust fell, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the large reptiles were extinct!
"Oh my God! It turns out that you did the extinction of the dinosaurs! Qin Huaiyu said in surprise, and the others were also surprised.
"Yes!" Samantha said, "If the large reptiles you call dinosaurs existed, there would be nothing else to do, let alone earthlings!" ”
To their surprise, they found a small mammal when they went to the field after the disaster. This creature was what came to be known as primates, and its genetic combination was more than 80% similar to them!
Their civilization has evolved over hundreds of millions of years and has long understood the importance of genetic diversity. Eighty percent similarity, which is not a high percentage, but it is not too difficult for Joneses, who are extremely advanced in genetic technology. At that time, they had received the information from the home planet about the collapse of the system. In order to save their declining genes, they decided to change their original colonization plan, make full use of the original genes of the earth, and combine them with their own genes to create a new generation of Jones.
Therefore, they used biological gene technology to implant their own genes in the primates of the earth to trigger the rapid development of the primates of the earth......
"No wonder you say that you and we are actually the same kind!" Zhang Jingyi said to Samantha: "I see! ”
"Yes." "There are a lot of primates on the planet, and we chose only one of them...... Of course, it is no accident that this kind of primate can survive in the land without its kind! ”
"Many peoples of the human race on the earth have ancient myths and stories, such as Zeus, Hera, Ares, Athena and so on in Greek mythology, is there a shadow of your ancestors?" Shu Yunpeng asked with a deep groan.
"Yes," Samantha smiled, "Watching the development of human beings on Earth, our ancestors thought it was funny, and they couldn't help but dress up as Shinto and go to Earth to participate in some activities. At that time, the people of the earth could not understand who we were, and there were those myths. ”
"Oh my God! That's how those myths came about! ”
"Some of them are of course from the arrangements of your earthling ancestors!" Samantha smiled: "I have to say, your ancestors are really imaginative!" ”
Shu Yunpeng was silent, and when he heard this, he felt a little strange. Since the Jones people arrived on Earth 70 million years ago and have begun to develop the genes on the Earth, why haven't they been combined with the genes on the Earth until now?
Moreover, not only did not the combination, but the earthlings appeared. And the new genes discovered by the earthlings, that is, the ancestors of the Jones people at that time, developed themselves into a state of civilization, and even the system collapsed...... After all this time, why did the ancestors of the Jones people go?
Shu Yunpeng knew that although the Jones people spoke again, they still had the ability to read his thoughts. So he tried to keep his mind in a state that he thought he could dodge, but it didn't seem to work. Samantha was already looking at him, and then told him that he might as well raise his doubts.
He couldn't dodge, so he had to ask the question: "It seems that you have enough time, why haven't you completed the goal set in advance until now?" Something went wrong? ”
"Yes, something happened," replied Samantha, "it is absurd and serious, and the consequences are irreparable to this day, and perhaps never!" ”
The Jones set out in batches. Their directions are roughly the same, but the specific routes are different, in order to have more opportunities. The first group followed the same route as the second, they ran the farthest but never found a suitable planet, all the way to the solar system.
They were ecstatic when they discovered Earth, and as they began to explore, they contacted their home planet and reported the good news. Their news arrived too late, because the next few groups who had taken different routes from them had discovered the planet they thought was suitable at the time before they. After preliminary surveys, they believe that this planet is completely suitable for the survival of living organisms.
In this way, the final decision of the home planet is to colonize the planet that is much closer to the mother planet. Since then, all the space fleets that have left their home planet have gone to that planet. In fact, the earth has already been defeated, and it was even planned to recall the two groups of people who had already arrived on the earth.
"How far is that planet from your home planet?" Qin Huaiyu asked curiously.
"Only less than one-sixth of the way from Earth!" "Distance-wise, it's really much better out there than Earth," Samantha said. It is important to know that interstellar travel is an extremely frustrating thing. Hundreds or even thousands of generations of people, from birth to death, never see land in their lifetime, just start and end on the spaceship, it is really helpless that cannot be expressed in words! Therefore, many people do not choose to hibernate ......"
"In other words, many people choose to die a natural death?" Qin Huaiyu asked.
"Yes," said Samantha, "these people find life boring, so they choose to end it naturally." ”
"You're not going to stop them?"
"If you don't stop it at the beginning, in that kind of living environment, if you force someone who doesn't want to live to live, it's really worse than death!" "But then I saw that it didn't work, and there were very strict rules," Samantha said. Otherwise, some high-tech talents will all die, which is tantamount to suicide as a whole. ”
"Your cloning technology must be very advanced, right?" Zhang Jingyi asked.
"Cloning also requires a lot of organic material," says Samantha, "and it's hard to find a supplement to organic material when you're traveling at high speeds in the vastness of space......
"So, you must use corpses ......" Zhang Jingyi remembered that the earthlings in the wild used corpses as a source of protein, and it was natural to think of the Jones people.
"Yes!" Samantha said, "Break down into organic macromolecules and store them for later use," and Samantha said truthfully: "Huh! Time flies, it's time to rest, and we will continue tomorrow, how about it? ”
"We're not tired, are we tired just listening to it?" Shu Yunpeng said: "But you said so much, you must be very tired, rest!" ”
Before going to bed, Zhang Jingyi and Qin Huaiyu came to Shu Yunpeng's room. As soon as the two sat down, Zhang Jingyi asked Shu Yunpeng impatiently: "Is what Samantha said true?" ”
"You ask me, and who do I ask?" Shu Yunpeng smiled: "But my feeling is true, because she doesn't have to lie to us." ”
"Yes," Zhang Jingyi thought for a moment and said.
"According to her, if our Earth is finished, it will be difficult for us to find suitable planetary immigrants, isn't it terrible?"
Shu Yunpeng shrugged and had nothing to say. The human beings on earth have not even flown out of the solar system, and interstellar travel to find a new home, where to start?
"Let's finish the story of the Jones people!" That's all he could answer.
