Chapter 419: Once Upon a Time in the Empire
Liu Yi saw that Li Xinqi was very sincere, so he nodded and followed Li Xinqi to the outside of the garden.
Li Xinqi took Liu Yi to an inconspicuous stone house, only to see that green vines and plants had climbed all over the walls of the stone house, and it seemed that this room had been quite old.
"Here it is...... Where? Liu Yi couldn't help but ask curiously.
Li Xinqi didn't answer, reached out and pressed the fingerprint lock, and then heard "Click!" With a thud, the heavy metal door slowly opened.
The two walked into the house, only to see that there was nothing in it except for some tools for pruning plants, which made Liu Yi feel even more strange.
Li Xinqi came to a wall, pressed lightly on a brick, and saw that the wall suddenly trembled, and the bricks recessed inward, and then retreated to both sides, and an elevator door slowly appeared in front of the two.
"It's a secret door." Liu Yixin said: "I don't know what secrets are hidden here?" ”
"Come on." Li Xinqi said as he walked into the elevator, and Liu Yi nodded and followed.
There was only one button on the panel of the elevator, and when Li Xinqi pressed it, the elevator door closed immediately, and it shook slightly and went down.
The elevator stopped, the door opened, Li Xinqi took the lead out of the elevator, and the lights around him turned on, and Liu Yi found that outside the elevator was a very spacious space.
"It's huge!" Liu Yi secretly marveled in his heart, he didn't expect to build such a large underground space underground.
Li Xinqi said: "Here is the biggest secret of the Xinghan Empire, including the origin and development of the empire, which only you and I know in the world today. ”
When Liu Yi heard Li Xinqi's words, his curiosity had reached its peak, but when he looked around, there was nothing, just an empty hall.
"The Empire's greatest secret? But there's nothing here......" Liu Yi said.
Li Xin prayed: "Don't worry, you will be able to see it soon." After speaking, Li Xinqi slapped his face twice, and the crisp applause echoed in the hall.
At this time, the light around suddenly disappeared, and then a holographic projection appeared, and a bright and three-dimensional starry sky appeared around, and the two seemed to be in space.
Although such a scene is spectacular, it is not unfamiliar, and there are such holographic starry sky projections in planetariums all over the country, but I didn't expect that Emperor Li Xinqi would also make one in the underground hall.
"I wonder what His Majesty wants me to see?" Liu Yi asked.
Li Xinqi replied: "Don't worry, listen to me tell you a story." ”
Liu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, please speak." ”
Li Xinqi said: "About 1,000 years ago, human beings began to enter the space age, and in order to explore the mysteries of the universe, a large number of probes and spaceships began to enter space and set off for various galaxies. ”
Speaking of this, Li Xinqi's hand swiped a few times, and the surrounding starry sky immediately changed, and a beautiful blue planet appeared in the projection.
"This is the birthplace of humanity – the Earth. From here, humanity set out in all directions of the universe in search of the next planet that could be inhabited by humans. Li Xinqi said: "At that time, human beings, spacecraft technology was not advanced, but even relying on simple spaceships, people still moved forward bravely, and since then the era of human interstellar navigation has begun." ”
Liu Yi was strange in his heart, and said secretly: "These are all the contents of history textbooks, what does he want to tell me?" ”
However, human determination is insignificant compared to the vastness of the universe, and most of the exploration has failed, and it is at this time that people realize that it will not be easy to get out of the solar system and find the next Earth. So, a new project was launched, and people built huge ships that would allow people to live in them for a long time and even reproduce......"
Liu Yi said: "I know this, I learned it in history class, and after many years of sailing and many generations, our ancestors finally found a suitable planet and began to enter the era of interstellar colonization." ”
Li Xinqi said with a smile: "That's right, I believe everyone has learned this history, but history class will not tell everyone what they really want to do, and the real history has long been hidden." ”
"Real history? So what? Liu Yi asked in surprise.
Li Xinqi said: "This is what I want to tell you, and I am the only one in the world today who can tell you this. ”
"Well, Your Majesty, please speak." Liu Yi felt that Li Xinqi was a little chattering, but he could only listen patiently.
"In the course of human voyages, living in ships for long periods of time, coupled with always finding planets suitable for colonization, has caused many people to gradually lose patience. The first generations were able to sustain themselves by faith, but the later ones could not, they had never seen the earth, they did not feel a sense of mission in their hearts, and finally the faith of many collapsed, and there was a terrible rebellion in the fleets of the voyages......"
"Rebellion?" This surprised Liu Yi, who had never said this in history class.
"Yes, rebellion." Li Xinqi nodded and said: "The rebellion quickly turned into an atrocity, many innocent people died in the chaos, and the fleet of the distant voyage had to stop moving forward and temporarily stop on a planet. It was the darkest years of humanity, people were killing each other, ships were turned into graves, and this great cause was about to fail. ”
Liu Yi couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this, looking forward to Li Xinqi telling the next story.
Li Xinqi continued: "Fortunately, at this time, someone found a thing, which did not belong to a human being, but it was indeed an artificial thing. This is the first time in the long voyage that mankind has found evidence of an extraterrestrial civilization, and the confidence that had collapsed has finally rekindled hope. ”
"Evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations? Are you sure? Liu Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Because of this, people have renewed hope and the confidence to continue sailing, and the chaos has finally been contained. What's even more surprising is that this seemingly ordinary thing actually contains a high level of technology, through the continuous study of this thing, people have gained a lot of enlightenment, the level of science and technology has developed rapidly in a short period of time, with the help of these new technologies, people finally found the ideal planet, which led to the later interstellar colonization. ”
After Li Xinqi finished speaking, he saw that Liu Yi was already stunned, staring at Li Xinqi for a long time and speechless.
"This is also ......" Liu Yi thought for a long time, not knowing what to say about the story told by Li Xinqi.
"Don't you think it's too bizarre?" Li Xinqi asked.
Liu Yi only felt a mess in his mind, and he didn't know how to answer, so he thought for a moment before saying, "I should say...... It's a little too shocking...... I don't know how to judge. ”
Li Xinqi smiled: "It's okay, I was the same as you when I first heard it." After all, so many years have passed, human beings have walked through such galaxies, and no other civilization has ever been discovered, so it is normal for you to react like this. ”
"Is this true?" Liu Yi asked very suspiciously.
"I'm telling you, it's true." Li Xinqi said: "I'll show you that thing, you can judge for yourself." ”
After saying that, Li Xinqi walked to the center of the hall, stepped on a certain piece of floor with his foot, and then slowly rose a square pillar from the floor.
