Chapter Fifty-Three: First Contact
The intersection of endless time and space is hidden in the depths of the layered void, and only the existence of the five gods of the universe can peep into it, and even Thanos is a little bit behind. This is the gate of the universe, one of the most important places in the whole world.
The three-phase portal from the X-Men world passed through here, opening a gap in the spatial passage between Earth and Zirita, opening up this two-way passage in another direction and opening a portal to other dimensions.
Chen Ang's subjective consciousness is here.
Like an illusory shadow, he hides in the depths of endless time and space, standing at the key point where time and space converge.
Several extremely powerful consciousnesses, with a trace of immortal and immovable aura, were firmly blocked by him in front of the intersection of time and space, even though the fury of these beings destroyed a piece of space-time the size of hundreds of thousands of light-years, shattering the nearby galaxies and rivers, and mixing the energy information of this area into a blazing sea of chaos.
"Lord of the Apocalypse! You have opened the door of time and space again, violated the principles and laws of the Court of Life, destroyed the laws of the universe and the balance of reality, and will be judged and judged by the Court of Life. On behalf of this universe, we will destroy you completely! ”
Chen Ang didn't care about their anger, but just smiled and said, "Eternity, if you can destroy me, then you did it as early as the first time the apocalypse came. Star-swallowing, death, eternity, infinity and annihilation, you represent the sum of matter, life, space, time and non-existence in this universe, but as long as you do not transcend this multi-body universe, you will always be restrained by the Apocalypse. ”
"The Apocalypse is waking up, and the Four Horsemen will follow him back to this world for good, and it seems that time has been too long ago for you to forget the fear of being dominated by them."
An even more subtle fluctuation of consciousness, with an obscure aura that withered souls, replied, "'Death Knight' is mixed in my consciousness. I couldn't use power at all. Otherwise, it will cause a violent conflict of consciousness, and even erase my sense of self. The 'Death Knight' is purer than my consciousness and closer to death...... Swallow the stars, it's up to the four of you. ”
"Material Skynet is also troublesome!" The slow consciousness replied: "I haven't recovered from the damage caused by the last war......"
Annihilation's consciousness fluctuated slightly, and a faint thought was transmitted: "Judging from several wars, even if it can overwhelm the four horsemen. We can't deal with the Apocalypse, and this time the Court of Life has to guard against the 'Lord of the Apocalypse' who created the Apocalypse. In this world online, we have no chance of success at all......"
"Not necessarily!"
"Eternity, you are the most knowledgeable of us about time, is there anything you can do?"
Eternity, born from the moment of the Big Bang, is itself a manifestation of the timeline, and his consciousness is almost the future: "As long as six Infinity Stones complete the Infinity Gauntlet, time will be beyond my control." We don't have a chance! ”
"A collection of Infinity Stones – Nemesis?"
"And the power of the phoenix!"
During these moments of consciousness exchange, a vague shadow slowly emerged in the void. At the moment when he appeared, the consciousness of the five cosmic gods avoided this existence far away, and did not dare to peep at the intersection of time and space.
Above the Beijing base of the X-Men universe, an invisible plane was cut apart by a huge ring composed of more than 190 satellites, and the spaceship inscribed with the Soviet flag slowly floated from the Vladivostok base, densely packed with hedgehog-like muzzles, all over the hull.
Huge ship battle groups can be seen from Alaska to Lhasa like mountains in the sky.
"The comrades of the USSR were too domineering! This is the first contact with civilizations in other dimensions. How could they set both the Star Destroyer and the Vacuum Shock Bomb to be active? ”
The head of the base couldn't help frowning when he saw the flamboyant muzzle of the spaceship, and said, "A city-level space battleship." The firepower exceeded the standard by at least 1,200 times, which certainly did not meet the standard for carrying the population. The Soviets were eager to dismantle the cabin and install energy weapons, and the core furnace would be at least three times overloaded, wasn't it nonsense? ”
"The Soviet Union was sparsely populated, and the newly recovered Central Asia was only in the early 200 million, so they didn't need that much volume. It's understandable to step up your firepower! ”
"Then you can't dismantle all the phase shields!"
"I think the Soviets are going to strike saturation without limits first, the Center for Cosmic Ethics and Sociology doesn't say...... Say that...... The principle of destruction first? I think the Soviets believed this. ”
The chief shook his head and said, "The first contact theory based on the three major inferences? Interstellar civilizations have developed to the point of contact with each other, and technology is bound to be diverse, and each civilization is what it does best. Definitely ahead of other civilizations. This assertion is so absolute! ”
"There are no two identical leaves in the world, there are no two identical civilizations in the universe, the differences between interstellar civilizations will reach the point where they cannot understand each other, and for other civilizations, each other's technology and culture are like 'magic'. It has two characteristics: absolute priority in the field, absolute leadership in advantage. ”
"Therefore, every civilization that comes into contact with each other can destroy the other first. In the case of information superiority, it is possible to destroy the first contact civilization at the lowest cost......"
Someone sighed: "The Soviets really believe it!" ”
The base fell silent suddenly.
Looking at the fleet in the sky, there was a chill on the backs of the staff in the base that could not be dispersed, as if they thought of something terrible at the same time, and their faces showed horror and fear.
Someone couldn't help but scream, "They can't do this!" It's a crime! ”
"We don't know what the other civilization is, what is the attitude, and to attack them with this theory of first-contact destruction is simply anti-human. Such a provocative and aggressive attitude will never lead to peace! ”
The representative of the military hastened to explain: "We are not Nazi murderers, just ...... Be prepared, that's all. ”
Some people also replied with a sneer: "For the survival of mankind, this is the price that must be paid!" We don't have time, the apocalypse is aggressive, if we don't want to be a slave of the apocalypse, we have to be ruthless, how much can we pay for this? I remember that this was a topic that had already been discussed. ”
"But that is a human sacrifice, not the slaughter of innocents!"
"That's better, isn't the life or death of a few aliens more important than the lives of our people?"
"If the three great powers on earth, the United States, China, and the Soviet Union, do not know each other's information, then in such an information shady, whoever has the information first will have the ability to destroy each other. Even the most powerful United States, under the information shady, will be destroyed by a civilization weaker than it. If there is no price to be paid for the destruction of the other party, who can resist such a temptation? ”
No one can answer.
In the first contact theory, the strange civilization in the universe is like a person with a gun, the one who shoots first will have an absolute advantage, and the one with information superiority can easily destroy the civilization exposed to his eyes.
Even if the two civilizations give up attacking each other in the first contact, the suspicion of the first-mover advantage of mutual destruction still puts peace in jeopardy, and the chain of suspicion of this prisoner's dilemma still puts peace in jeopardy.
Just when the atmosphere of the two opposing factions became tense, a loud shout calmed down both sides at the same time.
"No need to make a noise!"
The head of the Beijing base stood up, looked around the hall, and saw many complicated and indescribable eyes, as well as some emotions that they themselves were not aware of. Everyone here is confused about the future.
No one knows what they will meet on the other side?
Is it survival and development? Or war and destruction?
The chief said slowly: "The situation on the other side has been projected by the dimensional detector!" You can take a look. ”
A video began to play on the big screen: a dense army lined up behind a portal, and a hideous Zetari with a ray gun in his eyes full of bloodlust and fanaticism. Serpentine ships and various war machines are aimed at the exit of the portal, and there are traces of war everywhere, all of which indicate that peace is gone.
There will be only war in the future, and it must be war.
Everyone present fell silent, all arguments dissipated, and humanity did not need to make difficult choices. But even the most staunch humanists are not happy.
This means that the future is all about blood and fire.
The combined forces of China, the Soviet Union, and Europe began to deploy troops and prepare for battle. Beneath the three-phase portal, a massive fortress was rapidly taking shape, and the portal in the sky began to glow slightly. (To be continued.) )
