Chapter 81: The Engineer and God
The android David felt his hairs stand on end.
Although he did not have "fear" in the true sense of the word.
But at this moment, his sanity, full of the crystallization of human wisdom, was a real sensation in his artificial head, which was like soaking his body in ice water.
The thing in front of him, which looked like a human boy, made him feel "fear" that he had never felt before.
Although he knew that he was an artificial human, the so-called "fear" was something that he could control.
"David."
After Luo Shen said this word, he didn't care about the suspicious attitudes of the people behind him, and asked the question he had guessed before.
"This planet isn't their home planet, is it?"
Yes.
Roshen was already aware of the problem.
There is so much suspicious information about the city - whether it's the corpses of the people in the area, dressed in old cloaks made of outdated linen, or the fact that no one has fought back with energy weapons or guns in the midst of a disaster in the city, or the fact that the city itself has almost no industrial structures......
And the biggest doubt is that there is only one city on this huge planet?!
This, of course, does not conform to any law of biological evolution, reproduction, and expansion.
There is only one possible explanation.
It's that the city isn't the home planet of the engineers at all.
Not even their main planet.
This explains why it is so desolate, so poorly armed and even rubbish.
In the face of Luo Shen's question, the android David was silent for three seconds, and then took off the hood of his cloak with a wary look in his eyes.
"This is not their home planet."
"And where is this?"
David was silent, thinking about the answer he should say, and at the same time thinking about what this extremely strange "boy" in front of him was.
"Colony." He ended up saying only one word.
As androids, their wealth of knowledge and concise and efficient computer-like thinking enable them to be competent in both "long-winded" and "concise" conversations.
Humans didn't notice.
Although they are highly realistic androids, they do not fear on the surface, do not care about their own lives, and can sacrifice everything for the sake of mankind...... But they already have a sense of emotion.
Perhaps these emotions are masked by their identical or similar appearances, as well as their soft, straightforward answers, which are always devoid of emotion. But if you pay attention, when androids are unhappy, the vocabulary they use to talk to humans is always more concise.
"Do you think they're real 'engineers'?"
David didn't hesitate this time, and directly said the answer: "No, obviously they are not. I've been in this city for ten years, and their level of civilization is not even comparable to that of humans...... Except for the spaceship plaza and the technology in some buildings, almost all of them are at a medieval level. How can an 'engineer' be an engineer if modern paper and real computers don't even exist? ”
After hearing David's answer, Roshen muttered to himself, "Is that really the case?" ”
As he spoke, a tentacle the thickness of a thigh emerged from the ground, wrapped up a dried corpse, and dragged it into subspace.
Everyone's pupils contracted.
Several crew members became even more excited, and aimed the muzzle of the gun that had been somewhat lowered at Luo Shen, and the fingers that were placed outside the trigger were also pulled into the trigger.
At this point in the conversation, Luo Shen has no doubts.
From the known information, it can be concluded that at the end of this "Prometheus 1", the planet that Elizabeth and David modified the star map to "return" is not the home planet of the Engineer family, and it cannot even be counted as a base camp.
This is just another biological testing ground for the Engineers.
Humans, the Blackwater virus, this so-called "home planet"......
The threads seem to be strung together.
If you make a bold guess, the order of events should be: a highly civilized group of engineers has been active in the universe hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago, driving their "horseshoe-shaped" spaceships to and from planets with living conditions.
For some unknown reason, the family of engineers is obsessed with the work of creating life.
Their genetic technology is clearly very advanced.
And they use their own genes as a model to start creating new races, and continue this behavior for at least hundreds of thousands of years.
About 2,000 years ago, the Engineers suddenly decided to "destroy" humanity.
So they sent a spaceship carrying biological and chemical weapons, that is, "Blackwater", to Earth, but it seems that because of the leakage of biological weapons, this spaceship did not even leave the planet where they made biological weapons.
Two thousand years later.
Archaeological excavations on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, England, have discovered the remains of an alien civilization, from which they have learned that "humans were created by a higher alien civilization" and that they have also modified the natural environment of the Earth that was originally unsuitable for life. Therefore, it is clear that humans in ancient times worshipped this alien race and regarded them as "gods" or "gods".
Ten years ago.
Humans created the "Prometheus" to advance with the coordinates of the planet in the ruins.
This is also the story in the later "Prometheus 1".
The real alien was also born during this period after the black water of the Engineer infected the human host Elizabeth, and the hatched octopus-like monster parasitized the Engineer.
The whole thing is connected in this moment.
Although no one can really fully understand every detail of the matter, this should be the order that is roughly deduced.
As for why the engineers created and destroyed humanity.
Luo Shen can guess from the original plot that the residents of this colony star watched and worshiped when the spaceship landed.
Oh, God
Genesis
deluge
Humans are born out of water
eden
heaven
When these religious words are connected to a point 2,000 years ago...... Isn't it Good Friday of "Jesus Christ"?
Mankind put the Son of God to death.
He was crucified.
The creator disobeyed the Creator.
What should the Creator do?
This is also self-explanatory, right?
Roshen recalled the huge head statues that were scattered throughout the series, scattered across Earth, here, and in spaceships.
If it weren't for religious worship, how could a normal race carve their own heads so hugely? And spread across the planets?
Obviously, none of these planets, which have the Engineer head statue as a totem, are really 'Engineers'.
