By now, many doubts in Wei Feng's heart have been solved. Wei Feng finally fully understood what the wise old man had told him, "By the time I came here, the materials were completely ready."

These things have indeed been prepared for a long time. The Martian civilization prepared these things, and when the situation fell into despair and there was no power to return to heaven, the last Martian began a long hibernation, intending to trade what he bought at the cost of the entire civilization to his own survival needs.

Wei Feng had already dissected a Martian, so he had a certain understanding of the physiology of the Martian. The physiology of Martians is different from that of humans, but they are also carbon-based organisms and need a variety of organic substances and inorganic minerals to survive.

Wei Feng calculated a little, and came up with a set of data: "Even if this Martian can survive for 10,000 years in the future, the total amount of resources it consumes is only as follows: no more than 20,000 tons of air, no more than 7,000 tons of water, no more than 5,000 tons of food, and some other miscellaneous things. ”

Compared to a civilization or a planet, these resources ...... It's not even a dime.

Whereas...... The countless Martian scientists have worked hard to obtain data that may have taken thousands of years, countless Martian lives, and countless hours spent on interstellar voyages...... The value of the wisdom of this entire civilization in this transaction is the above little thing.

Wei Feng felt a deep sadness. Wei Feng didn't know how to describe this feeling, Wei Feng instinctively felt that this transaction was unfair, but ...... Wei Feng couldn't find where the injustice was. The Martian in front of him is actually the whole of the Martian civilization, even if it is extravagant, how many resources can it consume? In other words, even if human civilization wants to increase the price paid by the other side in this transaction. The Martian couldn't enjoy it either. Because it's only one person.

Wei Feng paced back and forth in the inner space of the pyramid, and was silent for a long time before he said, "This transaction is a very good deal for us, and I can agree to this transaction on behalf of our civilization." It's just that...... I have some remaining questions that I hope to get answered. ”

Until this moment, the wise old man's saying that "it took a hundred years to investigate, but still can't find the answer" is still deeply troubled by Wei Feng. The wise old man said that if you come to this pyramid and you will understand. So at this moment, Wei Feng put forward this request.

"Yes, I can tell you all I know. Think of it as something that comes with us in this transaction. The AI said.

"Okay." Wei Feng nodded, and then said, "Can you send me everything you know, all the data stored in your memory?" I'd like to use this to clear up some of my doubts about your Martian civilization. ”

Originally, Wei Feng thought that his request might be rejected because it was a bit excessive, but to Wei Feng's surprise, this artificial intelligence did not hesitate at all. It immediately replied, "Okay." Because there is a lot of data, it may take a little time to transfer, so please wait. ”

Wei Feng nodded, and at the same time instructed Ye Luodao: "You store all this data." ”

The data transmission took about a few hours, after which Wei Feng left the pyramid. By the time Wei Feng left the pyramid, the land had already entered the twilight. Alpha A Centauri is four-fifths below the horizon, but the remaining fifth is still bright and blind.

After a day of scorching earth, which was slowly releasing its temperature into space, Wei Feng saw that some of the ground that had previously been scorched and melted by the sun had some tendency to solidify. Although I know that I am separated by a spacesuit. It is impossible for him to feel the temperature change in the outside world, but Wei Feng still has a feeling of "finally getting a little cooler".

The glow of the setting sun drew a long shadow from all the protrusions above the ground. Standing in the shadow of this massive pyramid, looking at this dilapidated and hundreds of millions of years old building, Wei Feng seemed to see the last remnants of a great civilization left in this vast universe.

At the same time that Wei Feng walked out of this pyramid, the dilapidated robot that had led Wei Feng to this pyramid before also drove out of the pyramid through the passage again. Its wheels were still crooked, and its whole body looked like it was about to fall apart at any moment. But it was still moving forward strongly, and Wei Feng knew that there was probably some damage on top of this pyramid, so it needed to be repaired again.

But this time things are a little different. Under Wei Feng's gaze, the robot only walked a few dozen meters before stopping. Then Wei Feng saw something similar to an electric spark from it, and at the same time, a puff of black smoke came out. The puff of black smoke dissipated in an instant under the vacuum, and the robot completely lost its motion.

Wei Feng was still watching, and after a moment's wait, he saw another similar robot driving out of the passage. The robot is almost brand new, it doesn't have any damage on it, and it runs much smoother. It walked past Wei Feng, past the paralyzed and scrapped robot, and then walked to the other side of the pyramid, disappearing from Wei Feng's sight.

"Captain, according to the data transmitted to me by the artificial intelligence, the lifespan of this robot is generally about thirty years, and every thirty years, the autonomous running machinery will create new robots under the control of the artificial intelligence to undertake the maintenance of this pyramid."

If you count it as a robot in 30 years...... In 500 million years, there are nearly 17 million robots. In the long time that has passed, so many robots have died on this planet.

"What, have you sorted out some information?" Wei Feng asked Ye Luo. Ye Luo immediately replied, "Yes, Captain." I've put together some valuable information. Based on my own logical judgment mechanism, I think I probably know what the problem that has plagued the wise old man for nearly a hundred years. ”

At this moment, Alpha Centauri has completely sunk, but the blue night star has not fallen into pitch black. Because this is a binary star system, in addition to star A, there is also star B.

Alpha B Centauri is now hanging in the celestial sphere. It was bright, many times brighter than the full moon above Earth. After the disappearance of Star A, Star B continued to take on the task of illuminating the Blue Night Star.

The universe is dark blue to the point of being pitch black, but the sky above the Blue Night Star looks like blue under the light of Star B. Wei Feng knows that this is the origin of the name "Blue Night Star".

The stars are dotted and the moon is in the sky, and if you ignore the harsh natural environment above the blue night star, this is really a wonderful picture. So Wei Feng sat down on the ground casually, leaning against a stone, looking at the magnificent sky, and said to Ye Luo: "Have you already analyzed what is the problem that is bothering the wise old man?" Okay, tell me about it. ”

Ye Luo was silent for a moment and then said, "Before I say this, I need to tell you some of the rest of the things. First of all, our assumption that the Martian civilization once recuperated on the Blue Night Star was correct. This is clearly documented in this document, which states that the Martian civilization has survived on the Blue Night Star for more than 300 years, during which time they have built a large number of living quarters with the inexhaustible solar energy as an energy source and the abundant mineral resources here. During this period, although their technological level has deteriorated for 50 years, their total population has skyrocketed from less than 200,000 to nearly 30 million. ”

"Oh......" Wei Feng said lightly, "This is a great thing for the original Martian civilization...... As long as the population base recovers, the degradation of science and technology can be curbed, and thanks to the key data accumulated by the interstellar voyage, it is entirely possible for the Martian civilization to break through the limitations of the dead knot in one fell swoop and truly enter the interstellar era. ”

"But...... The Martian civilization eventually perished. Ye Luo said.

"Why? Is it because of the war? ”

"Yes, because of the war." Ye Luo said.

"Where did the enemy come from?" Wei Feng asked again.

"From within the Martian civilization." Ye Luo said, "Regarding this, they describe it like this: in order to better survive and develop technology, we opened this box, and when we released "it", we did reap many benefits, but as time slowly developed, we found that "it" has become somewhat out of our control. As the situation deteriorated, we had to wage a massive war to destroy it, and eventually, it was completely wiped out by us, and our civilization declined completely, with the population falling from more than 30 million at its peak to less than 10,000. ”

"We are left with devastation and the destruction of our homes...... The technological heritage will also be destroyed. But thankfully, thanks to the highest level of protection, the most critical scientific data is still well preserved. It's just that...... If our civilization is going to perish, what is the use of this scientific data? ”

We thought it was an angel, but ...... it was actually a demon. From the moment it was unleashed, it was already doomed to the final demise of our civilization. (To be continued.) )
