Before awakening, one hundred years after Zheng Dong's death at the Pluto outpost, the seventy-eighth year after the fall of human civilization.

ε star in the constellation Oe, an asteroid belt.

When Zheng Dong's consciousness woke up, the first picture he saw was a bright starry sky, the Milky Way was horizontal, there was no atmospheric obstruction, and the starlight was incomparably clear and brilliant.

He looked around and saw a rough asteroid pass overhead, and in his astonishment, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a dazzling light in his afterglow, and he turned his head to see a star shining in the distance.

"Where is this?" Zheng Dong was dumbfounded, subconsciously took a step forward, and then he settled.

He tried his best to keep himself calm, but when he looked down and saw the cold, dark surface, he let the shock wash over his mind and stood dumbfounded.

After some time, he gradually calmed down, and then confirmed his situation.

He was on one of the asteroids in the asteroid belt of a star, naked*, naked.

After thinking about it, Zheng Dong felt that his atheist belief was completely shaken.

"Is this the kingdom of heaven?" Zheng Dong muttered, and the voice that suddenly appeared in the next moment startled him a lot.

"It's not."

Voices seemed to be coming from all directions, but there was no doubt that there was a vacuum around, and Zheng Dong hurriedly scanned the surroundings.

"This is the asteroid belt of ε in the constellation Poe."

This time I heard it clearly, and the voice sounded in my head, as if some kind of information flow was stimulating the cerebral cortex. The sound is magnificent, yet inviolable with serenity.

"ε star in the constellation Bojiang?" Zheng Dong frowned slightly, this is a star system ten light years away from the sun and somewhat similar to the solar system, "How did I come here?" ”

seemed to understand the question in Zheng Dong's heart, and the voice sounded again.

"I'm the Messenger, and you've touched the border, so I've brought you here."

"Boundary?" Zheng Dong raised his eyebrows slightly, "What boundary?" ”

"In a civilization, there are always a few lucky people who touch the world beyond the material. It's an unfathomable touch, and you don't need to know it now. ”

"But I've been sacrificed on Pluto, how did you bring me here?"

"I noticed you when you touched the border, recorded your genetic information completely, and engraved your real-time memories," said the messenger, "and after your death, you will break away from your previous civilization and become a warrior fighting for the Galactic God." "I have reshaped your body. In addition to the Light Drive and Immunity to Harmful Radiation, I have implanted a Smart Chip and a 4D Dimensional Intelligence System in your new body, which can communicate with the supermembrane and protect you from premature death. ”

"What is the Galactic God?"

"A civilization that has mastered the infinite approach to 100 percent material laws."

"If it's so advanced, what can you do for him if you resurrect me?"

"After you touch the boundary and master the material laws that are infinitely close to 100%, you can enter and exit the border world at will and fight for the Galactic God."

"How long will it take me to master these laws of matter?"

"Three million years."

Zheng Dong was silent, and then said, "Is it okay not to go?" ”

Unexpectedly, the messenger said, "Yes." ”

Zheng Dong was surprised.

"God needs true warriors."

Zheng Dong raised his head, looked at the stars in the distance, and said, "If all my regrets are solved, I am willing to fight for the Lord." ”

"Regret? Is it the civilization of the earth? ”

"Yes." Zheng Dong's eyes lit up, and the messenger seemed to know something.

"Earth's civilization has fallen." The messenger said, "Twenty-two years after your death, Barnard's fleet invaded the solar system and conquered the civilization of Earth, and a few people fled. ”

Zheng Dong froze and was silent for a long time.

"I cannot interfere with the natural development of civilizations, the survival of the fittest, the laws of nature." The messenger said, "Now that the earth civilization is being enslaved by Barnard, Barnard is keeping the surviving humans in captivity, hoping to explore the cause of the explosion of earth civilization technology. ”

"And as I said, you're not the same person you used to be, and you don't belong to the Earth civilization anymore."

"Then you might as well let me die again!"

Zheng Dong's resoluteness seemed to be beyond the expectations of the messenger, and Zheng Dong suddenly found that the entire space-time was strangely frozen, and the asteroid no longer moved, like a three-dimensional painting suspended in front of Zheng Dong.

"You say, I can not go." Zheng Dong looked at the star.

"If you don't go to the battlefield, it is for you to enter the Federation for training, you must give up your attachment to that planet and the emotions nurtured by the planetary environment, otherwise you can't become a warrior, I repeat, you have nothing to do with the civilization of the earth!"

"Then why didn't you erase my memories of Earth when you resurrected me?" Zheng Dong's eyes were firm, "It's not so much about resurrecting me, it's better to create a puppet that looks like me, am I still me?!" ”

The messenger was silent, and after some time, time and space returned to normal, and the stars were moving again.

"Because, I've found that by erasing those, you lose the ability to touch borders." The messenger said, "But I command you, forget about them, and enter the Galactic Federation, and you will find that there is much more wonderful there than the little earth." ”

"I walked out of there, I died once because of it," Zheng Dong looked at the void, "there are people I care about, and there are my concerns." ”

"They're dead."

"There are memories left there."

"All traces of human civilization of previous generations have been erased by Barnard."

"The memory is in my heart! I won't forget! Standing on that land is at home! I'm a military man. ”

"You're challenging my bottom line."

"Then kill me."

"A radius of 3,000 light years, there are many people who touch the border."

Zheng Dong's eyes were calm, staring ahead. Suddenly, he saw the starry sky in front of him distort, and a round wheel slowly emerged.

"Destroy the body I created with my own hands......" the voice of the messenger was a little cold, "I have been waiting for this star field for three billion years, and you are one of the few who have angered my life. ”

The wheel advanced, and several meteorites that happened to be in front of it were swallowed up by it, and then burst into blinding light, turning into elementary particles and escaping into the void.

When the round wheel reached Zheng Dong less than ten centimeters, it stopped.

The silence lasted for a long time, and Zheng Dong looked confused.

"God asked me to keep you. And give you five Awakening Chips. Then the messenger spoke, and the wheel dispersed.

"Why?"

"When you reach the seventieth age of technology, God will tell you."

"I remember this kindness." Zheng Dong's face was solemn.

"To God, a gift."

Zheng Dong didn't say anything.

"I'm surprised that God didn't send down His wrath." The messenger said, "Unbelievable. ”

"Can I go back to Earth now?"

"Yes."

"Send me back?"

"Yes, after you make up for your regrets, come to me."

"Also, I need to tell you," said the messenger, "that your body does not guarantee that you will not die, that you need to grow." Once you fully understand the material laws of a technological age, the four-dimensional plane intelligence system will automatically reshape your body and unlock some of your abilities. ”

"You have to be cautious, five Awakening Chips represent five chances of rebirth. This is an unimaginable gift from God. ”

"I see." Zheng Dong was silent, he looked at his body.

* Exposed to cosmic rays, exposed to temperatures of minus 100 degrees, without any traces of damage.

"Can I see you? Receiving the messenger? Zheng Dong raised his head and asked.

"You've seen it."

"There?"

"I am the star ε Poe, a star three astronomical units in front of you."

"A star?!" Zheng Dong was surprised, "How can it be life?" ”

"When you understand 30 percent of the laws of matter, you will know." The emissary's voice was flat, "I am one of the hundreds of millions of emissaries of the gods who monitor civilizations within a radius of three thousand light years, and those who find contact with the frontier will protect them and reshape them if necessary. ”

"The strangeness of the universe, you can't imagine." The messenger said, "Now, you send you back to earth." ”

"When I redeem humanity, I will come to you!"

The messenger was speechless, creating a twisted wormhole in front of Zheng Dong.

"Step into it and go straight to Earth."

Zheng Dong took a deep breath, glanced at the star again, and turned around and walked into the wormhole.

The next moment, the scene in front of me changed instantly, making people suddenly feel as if it had just been a big dream.

Zheng Dong stood in the middle of a wilderness, raising his eyes to the chaos of trees and trees, spreading to the end of the misty world.

"Hello master, I am your intelligent chip system, which has been turned on in your brain, and can provide you with knowledge guidance in the seventh era of science and technology."

In Zheng Dong's mind, a gentle voice sounded.

Zheng Dong was stunned.

"Are you the chip that God implanted in my brain?"

"Yes."

"What can you do?"

"I can tell you everything you need to know about the seventh age of technology and below."

"Nothing else?"

"Nope."

Zheng Dong nodded lightly and walked towards the depths of the wilderness.

"Master, you can understand the aerodynamics first, so that you can fly with energy and faster."

"What?"

"You have a four-dimensional plane intelligence system, but its abilities need your progress to be stimulated."

"I understand knowledge, the laws of matter, and I can use it?"

"Understanding a law of matter, and the corresponding three-dimensional application, can be carried out."

"I guess I understand, but what about energy?"

"The Four-Dimensional Plane Intelligence System comes with a four-dimensional energy reservoir, and now one percent of the energy in it is available for you to use."

"One percent?"

"This one hundredth, according to the measurement standards of the earth's civilization, is the full energy of the explosion of a nuclear bomb with a yield of five million tons. And unlike the three-dimensional energy bank, the four-dimensional energy bank is exponentially replenished with energy per hundredth of a percent. ”

"In other words, I can fly once I understand aerodynamics."

"It takes your practice to master."

A few hints of surprise rose in Zheng Dong's heart, he looked at the vast wilderness, and suddenly felt that the road ahead was clear.

"Master, I need to remind you that you have not yet fully grasped the knowledge of the first technological era."

"The first tech era?"

"That is, the time when living beings learn to use external tools and fire."

"I understand."

"You don't understand. You'll need to learn how to polish stone tools, make fire, build buildings, and so on, and until then, you're just an ordinary human with a relatively low energy need. ”

“…… So what do I do? ”

"My advice is to find a human tribe, learn knowledge, and live in it."

"Okay." Zheng Dong's eyes froze.

After traveling in one direction in the wilderness for dozens of days, Zheng Dong saw a human settlement halfway up the mountain.

Dressed in a rough garment of leaves and hides, he ran towards the tribe.
