Chapter 248: The Vanishing Martian

Hearing Ye Luo say the words "Why bother", Wei Feng sighed, left his seat, and walked to the porthole again, looking at the endless starry sky outside the porthole of the spaceship for a long time. After a long time, Wei Feng said: "Indeed, there is no point in pursuing this matter, anyway, all the parties involved are already dead, and even this civilization has probably perished." But...... What happened in this Martian civilization spaceship is so similar to the Martian civilization in the past and the human civilization now......"

Ye Luo was still silent, and Wei Feng said as if talking to himself: "The Martian spacecraft used for escape must be very large, and there must be many, many Martians on it. Whereas...... When we finally found it, it was only a little bit left, and there was only ...... in it A hibernation pod. So, where did the rest of the Martians go? ”

That's where the problem comes in. In that document, the Martian did not describe any of the other vanished Martians, as if they had never existed at all.

It was obvious that the Martian had deliberately concealed these things, but these concealed things were still noticed by Wei Feng and Ye Luo.

So...... Where did the disappeared Martians go?

According to the description in this document, Wei Feng knew that the spacecraft had lost power due to a malfunction, and that it would always have to remain in the open space around the sun, orbiting the sun with an extremely long orbital period.

It has limited energy reserves and limited parts reserves. Stocks of survival materials are limited.

For every extra person, there is an extra consumption.

If you want to get enough supplies and resources, you must return to the solar system or sail to the South Gate Two system. Even if it still faces the threat of civilizational degradation in the end, it can at least temporarily solve the immediate dilemma.

Whereas...... To reach the solar system or to the South Gate system, there must be enough resources and supplies to repair the ship's propulsion module. Otherwise. How can a ship go far without power?

If you can't repair the ship, you can't get resources. You can't repair a ship without getting resources. It's also a dead knot, a miniature version of a dead knot. When the death knot envelops the entire civilization, for the sake of resources, the civilization splits and eventually creates a civil war, when the death knot envelops the ship, in order to grab more share of resources, and at the same time to kill as many other lives as possible to save resources. There must have been a civil war within this ship.

War is the law of historical development, and it does not depend on the will of the individual.

So, in this spaceship. A scaled-down version of the Civil War broke out. The difference is that this civil war is more brutal because it never stops when it ...... Only one person was left in the ship.

Not even the two people left in the end. Because when there are only two people left. Just kill the opponent. It means that you can monopolize all the resources, which means that your survival time can be doubled, and no one can resist such a temptation.

So...... Who is the last Martian left? Obviously, it was the Martian who had been dissected on the operating table by Wei Feng.

It was not killed by Wei Feng, through autopsy analysis, Wei Feng determined that it had died a long time ago, as for the specific time of death, it could not be determined, the only thing that could be determined was one point. That is, the time of death must be very long, as for whether this is tens of millions of years or hundreds of millions of years. Wei Feng has no way to be sure.

In the midst of the civil war that erupted on top of the ship, the Martian had the last laugh. It killed all the enemies on this ship, it monopolized all the resources in this ship, it had full access to this ship, it had full control of this ship, but it was still dead, tens of millions of years or even hundreds of millions of years before Wei Feng found it. It defeated everyone, but in the end it was defeated by Endless Time, by this empty universe.

In the long time that it won to live longer than others, the ship's intelligent system dismantled most of the spacecraft's mass and put them into the black hole to maintain the black hole's energy output, and at the same time, Wei Feng was sure that all the corpses of the Martians it killed must have also been thrown into the black hole - after all, corpses are also mass, even if a Martian weighs only forty kilograms, the mass of ten thousand Martians is as high as four hundred tons, and ...... The mass of 400 tons is absolutely impossible to waste.

The cabins that may be covered with bullet casings and blood, the many hibernation cabins that have provided hibernation services for many Martians, the living quarters that may have housed many Martians to eat and play together, the entertainment areas, all turned into the mass of a black hole over time, and through Hawking radiation, it became the energy to sustain the survival of the last remaining Martian. It outlived any Martian, but it eventually died, becoming a specimen atop the Weifeng Dissecting Table. The hibernation capsule and its ancillary equipment, which had carried it for hundreds of millions of years, were dismantled by Weifeng and then numbered and stored separately by Ye Luo to study their purpose and working mechanism.

The vicissitudes of life, time changes, and in the blink of an eye, such a long time has passed, but even now, when Wei Feng thinks of the terrible time that happened in that spaceship, he still feels a fear and trembling from the depths of his heart.

"What kind of time was that...... Wei Feng sighed, "after the goal of 'only the last man to survive' has been determined, anyone will be their enemy, and there is no ally there, anyone can become a murderer of their own murderer, and they will kill everyone they see." All moral systems will be shattered, all the virtues that people have preached for a long time will be broken like window paper under the persecution of cruel reality, everyone will be turned into beasts who only fight for survival instincts, and the beastly nature that has long been hidden under a long period of education will burst out in an all-round way, I think, at that time, they probably can no longer be called people, they are all beasts, complete beasts. ”

Wei Feng continued to look out the window, looking at the great star that was no longer the brightest star in the sky, but was still clearly recognizable, giving birth to himself, and also giving birth to the entire Martian civilization and human civilization, and continued to say faintly: "What if...... If I had been in that environment, I think I would have chosen to commit suicide right away. ”

Ye Luo asked, "Isn't life the first priority to survive?" ”

Wei Feng said: "But I think ...... The collapse of civilization, and the collapse of the worldview, is more terrible than death. ”

Ye Luo regained his silence, and Wei Feng continued: "This Martian is so terrifying, if it wasn't dead when I found it...... I don't think I'm going to be a match for it. Its limbs are weak, and although it has been asleep for hundreds of millions of years, it ...... It is a beast, a beast of wisdom. Its heart is strong enough to kill tens of thousands of of its own compatriots, and then write this letter in a passionate and desolate tone, strong enough to put the corpses of its own compatriots into the black hole one by one and turn them into fuel, and then lie in its own hibernation pod and wait for rescue...... It's too strong for me to be its opponent. If it makes it to our ship alive, I'm going to die. ”

Ye Luo said: "I'm also glad that it's dead. ”

Wei Feng was silent for a moment, and then said: "According to the description in its letter, part of the fleeing fleet of the Martian civilization has returned to the solar system, and the other part is still going to the South Gate Two Galaxy, which means that even at this moment, there may still be Martians in the South Gate Two Galaxy. They may have survived in the harsh environment until now. Frankly, I have some fear of them in my heart. ”

Ye Luo said: "I don't think you have to worry about this. If there were civilizations in the two systems of the South Gate that had developed to a certain extent, our human civilization would have discovered them a long time ago. And since we haven't found it, it means that even if the Martian civilization survives, they must have been under a very low level of civilization because of the degradation of civilization and the loss of technology. What is there to be afraid of in the face of such a Martian? ”

Wei Feng said: "So...... How do you interpret the flashing information from the South Gate II system? Without the development of technology, it is impossible to emit such flashes of light that can transmit information across galaxies. ”

"This is indeed a contradiction, but there are still many possibilities to explain it. In short, there may or may not be Martians in the South Gate 2 galaxy. It's impossible to know the answer to this question until we finally reach our destination. ”

Wei Feng sighed again, and then said, "Although I have fear in my heart, this fear will not affect my determination in any way. I'm going to go to the South Gate Two Galaxy, and no one can stop me unless I'm dead. I have to make all of this clear, after all, that glittering message may have a lot to do with the dead knot that our human civilization is facing. ”

"I really don't want our human civilization to follow the path of the Martian civilization, I really don't want to see our human civilization degenerate into a bloodthirsty beast under the trouble of dead knots...... For this goal, even if I die, I will die without regrets. (To be continued......)
