Gliese 715 system.

The star of this star system is a red dwarf star that is only a quarter of the mass of the Sun and much less luminous than the Sun. But it is also a magnificent and massive star system, with two rocky planets and a huge gaseous planet orbiting it, and countless asteroids, dwarf planets, comets and other celestial bodies in addition to these large planets.

It is a full thirty-seven light years away from the solar system, and it is undoubtedly at the boundary of the territory of human civilization in terms of the interstellar voyage ability of human civilization at the moment, but this star system is famous for its magnificent scenery, and the planet closest to the main star is on its own foundation, and after the careful transformation of human civilization and scientific and technological power, it has finally become the most famous tourist attraction among human civilization. Although it is far away, and although it takes decades to visit here, people still seek to travel here.

But...... With the advent of the robot crisis, the Gliese 715 galaxy has been abandoned for a long time. Since nearly 100 years ago, the number of tourists visiting here has been decreasing, and even disappeared completely a few decades ago. Recently, even the staff who remained here had almost retreated.

It's completely deserted.

A massive passenger spaceship is orbiting over the only living planet in the star system. Several smaller dual-purpose ships left the harbor and entered the planet's atmosphere, before landing in front of a massive building.

The building is located in the middle of a mountain and is surrounded by vegetation of various colors. This makes the building always under the sweet smell of plants, and against the backdrop of the birdsong and beast roars from time to time in the mountains and forests, and the light red sun in the sky, the building is like the abode of the gods, full of solemn and magnificent atmosphere.

Several uniformed personnel stepped out of the dual-purpose spacecraft and into the building. Then I came to an office. After a few gentle knocks on the door, the door opened, and an old man sitting behind the desk also raised his head at this time, quietly watching the soldiers.

"Mr. Levi, are you ready? The final retreat ship is about to depart for the solar system, if you're ready. Please come with us to the ship. A soldier said.

The old man sighed and stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and left only his back to these soldiers.

"Mr. Levi......" the soldier called in a low voice.

The old man named Levi finally said, "How many people are left on this planet?" ”

"It's just us." "Except for us, all the staff on this planet, all the vacationers, have all set out in batches to return to the solar system. The passenger spacecraft "Shengjing" was the last to retreat, and after this spacecraft, no manned spacecraft will come here. ”

Levi continued to look out the window. In this long gaze. Levi seems to have seen the scenes that once appeared here: countless flying machines flying in the sky, countless laughing tourists gathering here, beautiful scenery, delicious food, cute animals......

Now, except for the mountains and forests that still exist and the animals that live in them, the rest ...... Nothing.

"What will your military do with this planet after we retreat?" Levi asked. There was already a tremor in his voice.

The soldier was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Mr. Levi." As you know, in order to ensure that the scientific and technological creations of our human civilization are not leaked, we need to completely clean up this planet, and we need to destroy all the man-made objects that exist on this planet, completely and completely destroyed. ”

"But I designed it all with my own hands." Levi said with some weakness, "I've been working on this planet since I was a young man. At that time, the planet was still desolate, there was nothing, and I led my team to work here for more than three hundred years to transform it into what it is today, and all my life's work was sown on this planet, and now. but you will destroy it......"

"Every grass and tree, every landscape, every building, every fauna, every river, every lake, every ocean...... Everything here is from my design, my life, my hard work, my wisdom, my life is all left here...... Now you will destroy it......"

The old man became more and more excited, and his tone became more pathetic, and muddy tears poured out of the old man's eyes, and the wrinkled face of the old man fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Levi, but as you know, we can't do it, we have to do it." The soldier's mood also became low, and his voice was a little low, "We have conveyed your appeal to the Führer, and the Führer said that he can promise you that after the war is over, the government will provide you with sufficient support for you to rebuild the ecology and environment of this planet. ”

"It's useless, it's useless." The old man wept bitterly and said, "I have reached the twilight of my life, and I don't have much time to live!" It will take at least hundreds of years to rebuild the ecology and environment of a planet, and I don't have enough time! ”

Faced with the old man's rebuttal, the soldier chose to remain silent.

The red planet has fallen to the edge of the mountain and will soon set. In the afterglow of twilight, everything here becomes more and more magnificent. However, perhaps because of the different moods, all this magnificent thing is always covered with a layer of pathos in the eyes of these people.

After a long silence, the old man finally regained a little calm: "Let's go, can I stay here by myself?" ”

The soldier whispered, "No. We have to destroy everything here. ”

There was already a hint of pleading in the old man's tone: "You can destroy everything here, and after destroying this place, leave me the simplest set of life-sustaining devices, just leave a little food and water, okay?" ”

The soldier continued to whisper, "No. First, you have to follow us, you are a brilliant planetary terraforming expert, you can't just waste your life. Second...... The life-sustaining devices we leave behind for you can still leak our technology. ”

The old man laughed miserably: "After you destroy this place, my life will also lose its meaning, how can I talk about wasting it?" As for the aspect of leaking our technology that you are worried about...... You can leave me a set of primitive and simplest life-sustaining equipment, as long as it can keep me alive, so that you don't have to worry about technology leaks, right? ”

"It's beyond our purview." The soldier said, "Please wait, I need to report this to our fleet commander." ”

The soldier took out his communication equipment and reported the situation to the Shengjing spacecraft, and while waiting for a reply, the soldier said to the old man, "Mr. Levi, may I ask you a question?" ”

"You say." The old man said in a low voice.

"You are so stubborn about wanting to stay here...... Does it make any sense? ”

"Meaning?" The old man laughed miserably and said, "This planet is the meaning of my life, I created it with my own hands, it is like my child." And now...... I can't protect my child anymore, and my life is meaningless, so let me stay here with my child and spend the rest of my life with it. ”

The soldier was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Mr. Levi, I'm sorry, we don't want to do this either, but we have to. ”

After another moment, a reply from the ship was sent to the soldiers. The soldier glanced at it, and then said, "Mr. Levi, the commander agreed to your request. Now, please come back to the ship with us, and the fleet will then launch a devastating blow on this planet, after which we will prepare a simple life support system for you to live on this planet. ”

The old man nodded tremblingly and walked out of the office after the soldiers. Before leaving the office, the old man took one last deep look at the office where he had spent hundreds of years, and then slammed the door shut.

After stepping out of this magnificent and solemn building, the old man stopped in front of the spaceship, raised his head again, and projected his gaze on the rolling mountains in the distance.

Birds chirp and beasts roar. The water is murmuring, and the flowers are patchy.

The old man looked at it vigorously, as if he wanted to engrave all these scenes into his mind.

The soldier called, "Mr. Levi, let's go, let's go." ”

The old man turned his head vigorously, wiped away a handful of tears, and entered the dual-purpose spaceship without looking back. The spaceship took off and disappeared into the depths of the sky with a roar, leaving only some unintelligent creatures looking curiously at the sky in the mountains and forests, as if wondering what it was.

"I order, clean-up operation begins, intensity: thorough clean-up, time: three days."

As the order was given, countless cannonballs were poured out of space like meteors onto the earth, and the entire planet was immediately covered in heavy clouds and firelight. Everything will be destroyed, and hundreds of years of hard work and efforts will be burned with the arrival of the blow.

The old man collapsed in the corner, crying like a child at the moment when the blow came. (To be continued.) )
