Chapter 3: The Aliens Who Got Lost

I don't know how long it was, maybe hours, maybe days. Duke wakes up again and finds himself in a completely unfamiliar place. Lying on a platform that is as soft as a sponge, revealing a blue shimmer, it looks like a small room, only a few square meters in size, there are almost no devices and equipment in it, the surrounding walls emit white light, and next to Duke stands a 1-meter-sized machine, which is composed of large and small cylinders, and it is impossible to see what material it is composed of, only the "hand" has soft and rotating tentacles, this is E.T, or E.T's robot?

"Hello, Duke" A voice suddenly sounded from the room, and Duke couldn't tell if it was from the "robot" next to him, or from somewhere in the room, it was really strange. But what's even stranger is that this voice is very familiar to itself, whose voice is so familiar? I feel that I should have heard it every day, Duke pondered for a while, and then suddenly realized that this is his own voice at all, no wonder he is so familiar, because this voice is like copying his usual accent, whether it is the speed of speech or intonation, it is almost perfect original sound reproduction, if this technology can be used in audiophile, it will definitely be the top level of HI_END.

"Hello, Duke" the voice repeated again, and Duke heard another voice of himself, and his mind was filled with an indescribable sense of absurdity, as if he was communicating with himself, and his mind was indescribably awkward. "Hello, what shall I call you?" Duke involuntarily replied with an honorific. For the unknown visitors from the sky, my heart is still full of fear, for fear of annoying this unknown existence that is obviously much stronger than himself. "Apparently you are not part of our planet."

"You can call me Billem," the voice said. "I come from a very distant place, Duke, this place is far beyond your imagination now, in terms of the starry sky knowledge of your planet, maybe the other side of the galaxy, meeting you was just an accident, I can feel your fear, Duke, relax, I have no ill intentions, I have no intention of harming you at all, in fact, in order to be able to communicate with you, I have copied your brain, to be precise, your brain memory."

Brain replication? Duke was shocked again, what advanced technology it must be. It seems that maybe the earthlings should be no different from the eyes of humans looking at ants in their eyes, so maybe there is really no threat? Duke's nerves relaxed a little, and he thought of this information, which was a bit embarrassing, but completely beneficial to himself.

"Well, Billem, frankly, are you an intergalactic explorer? Just passing through to Earth? Duke asked tentatively. Explorer, oh, you can think so, in fact I was thinking of a different starry sky this time, but unfortunately on my departure star map, I mistakenly deviated the value of the space jump singularity coordinates by one billionth. I just missed my goal and came to your planet, and unfortunately after coming here, my ship ran into a problem. Billem said.

"What's the problem? Billem," Duke asked.

"Due to the wrong space jump, the energy of the ship is almost depleted, and now my ship is seriously low on energy, and I must replenish some energy to jump to my original target starry sky." Billem said. "So I need some help and hopefully be able to replenish enough energy on Earth."

Oh, it turned out that he was just going the wrong way, Duke was relieved, as long as he didn't come to destroy the earth, Duke felt that his safety factor for survival had increased a few points.

"What do you need? Bilem, coal or gasoline? Duke asked. I also secretly thought in my heart, don't do too much, I can't handle too much.

"Coal? Gasoline? No, Duke, the energy content of these materials is too low, even tens of millions of tons are not enough to sustain me to my next destination. Billem said, Duke was shocked again, tens of millions of tons of coal or gasoline, but this is not enough to plunge the planet into a deep energy crisis? It seems that this matter is a bit big, if you can't get satisfaction from the normal channels, I'm afraid that the earth will fall into a catastrophe, Duke quickly flashed in his mind some scenes of aliens invading the earth, beacon fires are burning everywhere, and the earth is full of devastated apocalyptic scenes.

"No, no, Duke, there is no war, we are peace-loving, intelligent beings. In fact, in our starry sky, there has been no war for more than 500 years, and war is just a manifestation of ignorance. I don't need coal or gasoline, I just need something special for you" Billem answered Duke's question as if he could read minds, Duke was already somewhat immune to this magical method, and even his brain memory could be copied, and it was no surprise that he could read his own brain thinking activity.

Billem paused after speaking, "I can't find the words to describe this kind of thing in your memory, let's put it this way, Duke, do you know how stars emit light, that is, the principle of solar luminescence that you say is based on a violent reaction, yes, you have the concept of nuclear reaction in your memory, and what I need is the raw material similar to the nuclear reaction of the sun." ”

Nuclear material? Hearing this, Duke's heart twitched violently again, this matter is really a bit big. If you want to get these things, it is almost impossible to go through the relevant departments, but once the relevant departments know that there is the existence of Billem, then it is impossible to describe the use of hunger, thirst, such as obtaining treasures, etc., and the conflict is absolutely unavoidable, thinking of the "gentle" means that Billem is showing now, Duke is already a little unimaginable, and the violent means shown after annoying Billem are definitely even more unimaginable.

Can use nuclear reactions to provide energy from the other side of the galaxy to come here, Billem's level of playing with nuclear is definitely more than the difference between a three-year-old child playing with a knife and a strong man playing with a knife, maybe the nuclear weapons on Earth are just a fireworks toy for Billem. But without the cooperation of the relevant authorities, Billem will not be able to obtain the nuclear materials he needs, and once the relevant authorities intervene, this matter will be infinitely complicated and dangerous, what should be done? Duke was immediately entangled.

"What department is the department," Billem asked. Apparently, in Duke's memory, the concept of the relevant department was too complicated for Billem to understand. "This," Duke turned from one tangle to another, his head suddenly increasing by 0.01 millimeters in the measurement of Billem, "we may say more simply, the relevant department is such a complex of government agencies: when you need its help, you will never find it; But when you don't need it, it's a ubiquitous governing body. ”

“???” As soon as Duke finished speaking, countless question marks suddenly popped up in his mind, and it was obvious that Billem could no longer express the doubts in his heart in words.

"Well, to put it simply, the authorities are the agencies you should never expect to help you. It will only be a troublemaker. ”

"Duke, I don't quite understand the form of organization on your planet, but obviously you have a myriad of governing bodies, and we disbanded the last governing body like the government on your planet five hundred years ago, you see, we only need to be governed by rules, not any departments.

We have a ubiquitous high-intelligence network, this network can record and judge whether your behavior violates the rules of the galaxy, if there is a violation, it will automatically issue a processing decision, and the violator will automatically accept the treatment within the specified time, otherwise the system will automatically close many permissions of the violator. To put it simply, in our starry sky, a normal intelligent life, everyone can apply to adopt utilities to get everything they need, just like you go to a buffet. But if you break the rules of the galaxy, these rights will be adjusted according to the size of the mistake you have made until you have been punished according to the rules of punishment.

And if a person has a new idea and needs to improve the system code, he can propose a revision plan at any time, and then he can instantly notify all intelligent life forms in the whole galaxy through the ubiquitous communication system, and everyone can submit additions or revisions to the plan within 7 galaxy working days, and after the revision period is completed, if there are no conflicting revisions, then a vote will be held within 24 standard galaxy hours, and it will be incorporated into the system code by the consent of the majority. The 18 billion intelligent life forms in our entire galaxy are completely independent, with no wars and no inequality," Billem said.

Duke didn't dare to imagine how the "buffet" society described by Billem would work, but Billem's next words made it clear that Billem didn't want to have any contact with the authorities, "Duke, I don't want the authorities to appear in my world, not at all. I would like to be able to get your help if you wish. ”

"I'd love to help you, Billem, but I'm so limited in what I can do, and frankly, I still don't know what the nuclear material you need is, and even if I did, I would never have had access to it, and it's one of the most classified materials on our planet." Duke said.

What kind of international jokes, in this world, not to mention that individuals can't afford to play nuclear-related things, even if you are a country, don't want to touch these things if you are small. A spurious "weapon of mass destruction" can destroy a rich country, and an individual delusional attempt to touch nuclear materials may get you into a nest for the rest of your life, whether you are in the East or the West.

"It's okay, Duke, I don't need you to buy it or get it anywhere else, I just need you to help me build a device that we can get from the sea. I can provide you with the necessary technology to be able to do this. Billem said.

"Really? Billem, what do I need to do for you? Duke asked, and as soon as he finished speaking, a panorama of a large factory appeared in his mind, apparently Billem began to show him a refining plant to obtain nuclear materials, and the panorama was followed by a structural diagram of equipment, and after looking at the factory structure diagram for more than ten minutes, Duke's head was completely dizzy.

However, there are two things that he is clear in his heart, first, the construction of this refining plant is definitely a huge project, which will cost countless funds and materials;

Second, those sophisticated equipment is basically difficult to find a processing plant on the earth now. This is definitely a huge system project, and there are countless technologies that need to be tackled and broken through to complete. Even if the relevant departments are willing to cooperate unconditionally, I am afraid that it will not be able to solve it in three or five years, let alone let him Duke start from scratch alone.

"You see, Billem, I think you already have an idea from my memory of the technological level of our planet, and I believe you have a reasonable assessment of my personal capabilities, and what you showed me, frankly, first of all, the core control system alone is not something I can do.

Secondly, there is almost nothing that you can buy for all the sophisticated equipment you showcased. Therefore, all this requires countless resources and materials, and on Earth, this means that a huge amount of money is also needed. Unfortunately, all of the above was an impossible task for me. Duke said.

"I understand, Duke, so I have a new plan to help you get these resources, based on your current memory."
