Chapter 219: Keller's Death
No matter who evaluates him, he will be terrified and terrified of the fact that "there was once a super alien civilization that used the solar system as a battlefield five to six hundred million years ago, and fought a vast and protracted war in the solar system". This is something beyond human imagination, and it will lead to other questions, such as: "If that super-alien civilization came to the solar system five to six hundred million years ago and fought such a war here, what would happen to our solar system?" ”
Another example: "What exactly did they do to our solar system?" Or rather, are they doing anything to our planet? You know, there were already simple lives on the earth at that time, so what role did they play in the emergence of our human beings? We...... Is there any connection with them? ”
Any one of these events is enough to have a huge impact on the values and worldview of modern human civilization. If it is finally concluded that human civilization is nothing more than a seed of life sown by other civilizations, or that it is an experiment, the worldview of many will collapse. Or don't talk about these things and just ask the question, "Do they still exist?" How far have they gotten to the point of technology now? They...... Is it still spying on our human civilization? ”
It is foreseeable that if this matter is publicized in human civilization, it will be as powerful as exploding a nuclear bomb on the capital of the earth. Conspiracy theories will prevail, religion will resurge, and hearts will become panicked. There will be social upheaval...... The source of all this is because of this incident. That is. There was a super alien civilization that fought a huge war five to six hundred million years ago with the solar system as a battlefield.
This matter weighed on Wei Feng's heart like a heavy stone. Wei Feng desperately wanted to find out what was going on, but this matter was in a hurry. The most likely scenario is that until Wei Feng exhausts his own life, or even the entire human civilization, the truth of this matter will not be able to surface.
That's hundreds of millions of years...... Anything can happen over such a long period of time. Even human civilization has been recorded in writing, and the history of thousands of years ago has not been fully understood, and it is necessary to figure out something that happened hundreds of millions of years ago. How can this be simple?
Silence returned to the control cabin, and Wei Feng looked at the things in the vacuum-sealed box, and did not stagger his eyes for a long time. After a long time, Wei Feng waved his hand and said, "Put these things away, keep them well, and if we can return to Earth one day, we will hand them over to the government to study." ”
"Okay." Ye Luo responded, manipulating the cart robot to put away the sealed box, and then asked, "Do you want to read the letter sent to you by the Earth now?" Or...... Do you need a break? ”
"Cook me something to eat." Wei Feng said. "Then I'm going to get some rest. I still feel a little sick. ”
"Okay captain, if you can sleep peacefully. You may feel better. Ye Luo said.
Hibernation is not the same as sleep, sleep is rest, and hibernation is similar to suspending all physiological processes in the body. Obviously, it does not have the effect of resting, and if you hibernate for a long time, it will cause serious damage to the human body.
Wei Feng ate a little, and then lay down on the soft and comfortable bed under Ye Luo's arrangement, and fell asleep quietly in the only oasis in this dark and far-reaching universe.
After waking up, Wei Feng felt that his state had recovered a little. After some restorative workouts, Wei Feng took advantage of the break to go to his personal computer and opened the letters sent from the earth.
At this moment, more than 20 years have passed since Wei Feng left the earth, and the Xinghai spacecraft has sailed a distance of nearly two trillion kilometers. This means that a one-way communication between Weifeng and Earth will take almost two months, and a question and answer will take four months.
It was not surprising to Wei Feng's expectations, those letters were sent by his "classmates". They are keeping their promises, recording the events that are happening in human civilization from the perspective of a bystander, and then teleporting them to Wei Feng.
The first letter was a response to a letter I had written back ten years earlier. There was no specific description of anything in the letter, and Wei Feng read it and put it in his mind. Apart from this seventeen letters, the remaining sixteen are all about important or anecdotal events. But among these sixteen things, only two caught Wei Feng's attention.
"Wei Feng, do you remember the situation when the Star Ocean spacecraft set sail? At that time, almost everyone in the whole civilization was watching us, and our every move touched people's hearts. But I have to say that we humans are a race that is good at forgetting. All information, no matter how powerful it is, is time-sensitive to the general public, and after that time no one will pay attention to it anymore. Unfortunately, our silos have not escaped this fate. People are gradually forgetting us, and not many of us remember that a spaceship left our home galaxy a dozen years ago and embarked on a long interstellar journey alone. ”
"I feel sad that we have dedicated our lives to this project, but the end result is that people are gradually forgetting us. I'm scared, what will happen to us if, after a few hundred years, we are completely forgotten, no one pays attention to us anymore, no one remembers us? ”
This is indeed a very sad thing, but Wei Feng has long been mentally prepared to face this situation. Wei Feng never had the luxury of expecting to be remembered from the beginning. But when this situation really began to happen, Wei Feng still felt a little sour in his heart.
Wei Feng sighed, left his seat and walked to the porthole of the spaceship, looking through the glass at the bright star in the distance. Wei Feng knew that there were hundreds of billions of his own kind living around that star, where he was born and lived, and where he carried all his memories, whether the memories were warm or cold, happy or sad, all of them were there.
Now, two trillion kilometers away, it takes four months to communicate with Earth at a time, and that distance will continue to grow as time passes. It's always dark and nihilistic, and it's all about yourself. I worry about it, but the people there are forgetting me.
"When I left Earth, when I stepped into the hibernation pod, I was doomed to be forgotten. They can enjoy this era to the fullest, but we time travelers can only stand in the perspective of a bystander and cannot fit in. But...... There's always someone to take on that responsibility, doesn't it? Wei Feng silently said this to himself, and then returned to his seat again.
The first paragraph of the letter reads: "Fortunately, society has not changed much, everything we are familiar with still exists here, and we have not been abandoned by the times for the time being." ”
The second paragraph has only one sentence, "Oh, by the way, Keller died, allegedly in an interstellar accident, a meteorite hit his car, and he and his entourage were thirty-seven people, all of whom died in space." ”
This letter ended here, but Wei Feng's heart rippled a little.
Keller is the name of the Führer who made the decision to carry out the Isolated Island Project in the first place. It has been almost forty years since he stepped down as Führer. Wei Feng has also heard about Keller's life after leaving office, and knows that he has become an artist and has a high reputation in human society.
The description of Keller's death in this letter is very simple, as if in the middle of a casual conversation about whose pet died. But Wei Feng felt a little unusual meaning from this simple description.
Meteorite Attack ...... For human civilization today, is it possible for a meteorite attack to destroy a spaceship?
Wei Feng felt sorry for Keller's death, and at the same time felt a little confused. There seems to be a lot of things behind this matter, but Wei Feng is not a politician and can't decipher more information from here. The sense of isolation brought about by the distance of time and space also made Wei Feng feel that Keller's death seemed to be a distant thing.
It was something that happened in a distant homeland, and it ...... What does it have to do with my current self?
Wei Feng shook his head and shook the matter out of his mind. Even if this is unusual, it is not something that I can interfere with, I am just a time traveler who is about to be forgotten.
The second letter was written by Chu Hai and was sent three months ago. Of course, I just received it a month ago because of the communication delay.
"Hello Wei Feng. To tell you an unfortunate thing, a scientist recently announced that the upper limit of the speed of a conventional thrust spacecraft is 1.5 percent of the speed of light, or 4,500 kilometers per second. Although this conclusion has not yet been recognized, there are already a large number of scholars who support it. (To be continued......)
