Seeing this star map, one of Wei Feng's speculations was confirmed. That is, this unknown civilization did not arrive here from some alien galaxy, it came from the interior of the solar system, from the fourth planet around the sun, Mars.

It was precisely because of this that Wei Feng was able to find the wreckage of their spacecraft around the solar system when this civilization did not yet have the ability to travel on a large scale.

"You are indeed ......from the solar system," Wei Feng muttered, "You existed in the solar system five to six hundred million years ago, and our human civilization exists in the solar system at this moment, we were born in the same galaxy, but we didn't know each other's existence because of the time gap. ”

"Hmm...... Five to six hundred million years ago, simple multicellular organisms appeared on Earth, I wonder if there is any connection between this and your Martian civilization? The birth of our human civilization...... Could it have anything to do with your Martian civilization? ”

At this time, such a question appeared in Wei Feng's heart. But this is not a good time to continue to delve into this question, so Wei Feng temporarily let go of these doubts and then continued to read.

After a brief introduction to the entire history of the Martian civilization, this information continues: "We believe that if the physical rules in this universe are common to the whole universe, then the development of scientific and technological civilizations should have certain commonalities, that is, scientific and technological civilizations will follow the development of bioenergy, chemical energy, and atomic energy. There's no way we've been able to confirm the correctness of this, but you, who are looking at this information at the moment, from a brand new civilization, can probably confirm that this is true or wrong. ”

When he saw this, Wei Feng nodded silently. Wei Feng can indeed confirm this, because the development process of human civilization is also like this, in the primitive society period. Humans can only survive on their own strength or the strength of domesticated animals, which is not an exaggeration to call it bioenergy. Then mankind mastered chemical energy, and then mastered atomic energy. This is very much the same as described in this document from the Martian civilization.

The reason for this state of affairs is that "the physical rules of this universe are universal in the universe, as stated in this document". Since this rule is universal throughout the universe, the first thing that technological civilizations grasp must be the simplest. Bioenergy is simpler than chemical energy. Chemical energy is simpler than atomic energy, so bioenergy will inevitably be mastered first, followed by chemical energy, and atomic energy again.

If you can prove that, then you can do the next one. Before I say this, let me make a little guess about your civilization. I think that if the development of our technological civilization has something in common, then your civilization will also encounter a "dead knot", that is, the contradiction between "the energy carrying capacity of the parent galaxy" and "the needs of civilization development". And now, since your civilization can come to this small solar system from a distant and unknown star system. So must your civilization have broken this dead knot? ”

Wei Feng shook his head silently. Obviously, human civilization has not broken the knot at this moment, and human civilization has embarked on a path almost identical to that of Martian civilization. Moreover, the Martian who left this information did not expect that another technological civilization would be born out of the solar system, and that it was the human civilization that eventually discovered the relics it left behind, not some civilization that came here from a distant outer galaxy.

"I'm not curious about how your civilization managed to break this knot, though our civilization didn't find a way to break it until it finally perished. After all, our civilization has perished, and the method of breaking the knot has lost its meaning to us. But I still want to congratulate you on your civilization. You have crossed the first major obstacle to the universe. ”

"Compared to our civilization, your civilization is lucky enough. Unabashedly. I envy you very much. If your civilization has gone through those tribulations in the process of breaking the knot, you can probably understand how our civilization feels at this moment. When we look up at the sky, we can see many stars, we can see the colorful universe, and we can see many things and phenomena that are worth our life's pursuit, but because of the existence of the dead knot, our footsteps are always trapped in this small star system and cannot get out. Our technology has come to a standstill. Our energy supply is bottlenecked, our culture has gradually changed from enterprising to drunken and hedonistic, and we have gradually changed from a brave and progressive civilization to a wretched creature waiting to die. I think you can probably understand what a desperate feeling this is. ”

"Your civilization can continue to travel through this universe, and you can travel to many different star systems for yourself. You can really go to many wonderful places in the universe to observe them, and your technology is always improving, and ...... Our civilization has been buried in the dust of time, and I think you can probably restore the state of our civilization that once existed only through the bare words of information I have described. ”

Wei Feng's expression gradually dimmed. Because Wei Feng knows that human civilization is not worthy of the envy of the Martian civilization. The knot that killed the Martian civilization hundreds of millions of years ago is also plaguing human civilization at this moment. It is not clear whether the final outcome of human civilization is the end of Wei Feng, but Wei Feng knows that human civilization at this moment is on the road to death, and, judging from the current situation, this trend is irreversible.

"Okay." The document reads, "After all, our civilization has perished, and I really don't want everything in our civilization to disappear from this universe like this, so I'll tell you a little more about the history of our civilization." If I could, I beg your civilization to record all this, so that at least some of the lives will remember us after our civilization is gone. ”

Wei Feng said silently: "Although it is very likely that our civilization will also embark on the path of destruction, but ...... I promise you that I will record all that you have said. I would like...... One day in the future, if human civilization really perishes, a civilization that still continues to exist in this universe will remember not only your Martian civilization, but also our human civilization. After all, we have walked through this universe for a while, and if we don't leave anything behind...... We're not going to be reconciled. ”

This document is followed by some descriptions of the social culture, scientific and technological level, scope of involvement, social changes, etc., looking at these words, Wei Feng seems to have come to the solar system five or six hundred million years ago, and followed the dead Martian to relive these experiences.

After these descriptions, Wei Feng saw a line of shocking words.

"As the contradictions became more and more intense and irreconcilable, the Martian civilization finally split, and a protracted war between the two camps finally began."

"I don't want to describe the course of the war in detail, because it is a deep scar on the heart of each of us surviving Martians at this moment. At the same time, I am sure that you can imagine the enormity of this war. It ended with a faction throwing a large number of strategic-grade weapons into the sun. Enraged, the sun poured out its fury on the entire solar system with unstoppable power, the whole solar system became purgatory, all the planets were no longer fit for life, and this camp destroyed its rival camp, but at this time, the camp found that the enemy's demise did not bring much benefit to its side. With a population of less than 10 million remaining, and with many technological inheritances cut off, we don't even have the strength to fight against the treacherous living environment in the solar system at this moment. ”

"If we hadn't provoked the sun...... The solar system may continue to thrive, and it is not impossible to regain the glory of our civilization one day in the future. But the solar system is no longer fit for life at this moment. The only hope for our civilization is to escape to a stable stellar system where our civilization will continue. So we gathered all the scientific research forces that were left at the moment to develop the Black Hole Engine, which we hope will use to send us to the distant South Gate II galaxy. ”

"But when the escape program was going on for hundreds of years, we discovered that the black hole engine was not suitable for long-distance interstellar travel. Because although it can provide a stable source of energy for a long time, its own mass is too large, which causes our ship to only travel at an extremely slow speed, which means that it will take a long time to escape to the South Gate II system, and this time is no less than ...... Three thousand years. And in such a long period of time, the damage to the ship's parts and the consumption of spare parts alone would be enough to drag us to death, not to mention the rest of the ship's reserves, such as air to breathe, such as food to sustain us...... Even with a long-term hibernation strategy, the consumption of nutrient solutions is not something we can afford. ”

"So the fugitive fleet split again, one fleet insisted on the original goal of sailing to the South Gate Two Galaxy, and the other part of the fleet planned to return to the solar system, even if it was to die, it would die in the solar system. Whereas...... The ship you find here is part of the returning fleet. (To be continued......)
