Chapter 212: Xia Fei's Choice

"What to choose?" Xia Fei wondered.

Qin Mang smiled, "You have to choose your own camp, with the increase of your own strength, one day you will have to face such a choice, it is impossible to always be outside the major systems." ”

"The fact that you chose not to sign a contract with the union at the Heavenly Decision Training Camp shows that you don't like to be constrained, but once you really get involved in the upper echelons of the Dark and Terror Alliance, it is impossible for you to continue to be so free."

"If you don't have a faction, it means that whoever is your enemy, and I don't think that's what you want to see." Qin Mang said in a deep voice.

His words are actually not unreasonable, human beings are not a united race, there are various small groups in the alliance, and if Xia Fei does not belong to any group, he will be hostile from everyone.

The higher you climb, the more you have to have your own faction and group, either choose a faction to join, or create a new faction yourself.

Xia Fei smiled, "I understand what you said, but I don't like to be controlled by nature, and joining a camp requires being constrained from this camp, which is really difficult for some strong people." ”

Qin Mang shook his head slightly, "Not necessarily, although there will be some constraints from the camp, but you will also be protected by allies, it is better than you wandering alone in the vast sea of stars."

Xia Fei thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I still don't want to join any camp, freedom is more precious to me than any interests, I don't want to be constrained by anyone, not now, not in the future." ”

Qin Mang smiled and looked at Xia Fei with a meaningful gaze for a long time.

Sighing lightly, Qin Mang said: "Just like I thought, you are really a stubborn guy, do you know how many people begged me to pull them, but I put the opportunity in front of you, and you actually refused." ”

Xia Fei smiled and said: "Old man, our relationship will never change, I respect you very much, and I am very grateful for teaching me to learn the advanced technology of those ancient civilizations, but if I want to join your camp and bring a set of shackles to myself, I really can't do it, if a person can't live freely, he can do whatever he wants, that would be too boring." ”

Qin Mang seemed to have expected that Xia Fei would refuse his proposal, feeling a little disappointed but very relieved at the same time, he had been looking for a guy who was as persistent and stubborn as himself, today's Xia Fei was so similar to his former self, they were both paranoid.

"Xia Fei, do you want to know what the important object I am talking about is?" Qin Mang asked.

Xia Fei said directly without thinking: "Of course I want to know, but since it is an important object, it must be very important, if you are willing to say that I will naturally listen to it, if you are unwilling, I will not speculate." ”

"Cunning fellow." Qin Mang scolded Xia Fei with a smile, cleared his throat and said: "There are many intelligent life forms in the universe, and no one knows how many races there are, but these intelligent life forms all have a common feature, that is, the brain structure is extremely similar. ”

Xia Fei couldn't help but prick up his ears, he had heard the same remarks from the mad scientist Harris, and when he thought about it carefully, since the first day he set foot in the alliance, he had more or less connections with the mysterious Seventh Brain Domain, the extinct ancient civilization, and those strange intelligent lifeforms, and most of the events had their figures behind them.

This has become an inseparable part of Xia Fei's life, just like he is often in prison and there are always endless troubles around him, it seems that he has long been destined in the dark, and Xia Fei will always encounter these strange things in his life.

"It's just that among all the intelligent creatures known at present, only humans still retain the seventh brain domain, and the other species have long been lost, and there is nothing special except for these humans."

"I've been studying ancient civilizations and other intelligent beings since a long time ago, and I've found that one thing that is very similar to us in addition to having the same brain structure is our technological achievements."

"All intelligent races are unable to develop a higher level of technology, the ancient humans were destroyed by robots, the ancient Charlottes were destroyed by war, and so on. There is something strange in this matter, and I am puzzled as to why it has never been able to complete the transcendence of the technical level in the long history of intelligent life that is difficult to count. ”

"So I spent a lot of time exploring the relics of ancient civilizations, not only the relics left by humans, but also the relics of other intelligent races, and I will not let go of them, as you just said, becoming an interstellar traveler and solving the mystery of the technological limitations of ancient civilizations has always been my wish."

Xia Fei fell into deep thought, the universe has existed for countless billions of years, and the earliest intelligent life forms have been living in the sea of stars for countless years, assuming that it is really as Qin Mang said, it has become a common practice that a civilization will be destroyed whenever it develops to an extremely high level of technology, it is too sensational.

Xia Fei has never been an admirer of conspiracy theories, but Qin Mang's words made him feel something extremely unreasonable, human beings were destroyed and robot armies at a high-tech level, and other races were also destroyed with various different natural disasters**.

Is it really just a coincidence? The higher the level of civilization, the closer it is to destruction, which does not make sense at all, after all, civilization and destruction are not directly related.

Qin Mo paused for a moment and continued: "Although I didn't find the secret in this, once when I was traveling to a strange civilization ruins, I found such a passage on a tombstone. ”

"Civilization begins with wisdom, destruction and the gods of the Titans, and only with the protection of the gods of the Titans can we save lives and claws."

Xia Fei was stunned, the word Titan God was mentioned in this passage, and you must know that the name of the giant battleship that Xia Fei found on the periphery of the Black Abyss was called Titan

Moreover, this Titan was sunk by other Titans, and it is very likely that the civilization that produced this battleship has also died

"Destroy the Titans of War, do these have anything to do with that giant battleship?" Xia Fei thought uneasily in his heart, he cheered up his 100,000 spirits and listened to Qin Mang continue to speak.

Qin Mang glanced at Xia Fei, Xia Fei was so interested in his story that he didn't expect it, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.

o}o "According to my understanding, the owner of the cemetery used to be a famous person, and his profession seems to be related to the history of interstellar development, and I only glanced at this epitaph and did not take it to heart, but when I later found the remains of an ancient human civilization, I changed my mind. ”

"This ruin used to be the Strategic Research Institute of Ancient Man, and when I was excavating this Institute, I saw a familiar name from the materials, Titan"

"I have carefully examined these confidential documents, it turns out that the ancient humans have already had a premonition that their limit has fallen, so they are desperately researching a kind of warship called Titan, and they have sent a large number of people to search for information about Titan warships in the vast sea of stars."

"It seems that the ancients thought that some unknown force would destroy them, and in order to save themselves, they had to find the blueprints of the legendary Titan-class battleships and build them in large quantities." Qin Mang said serenely.

Xia Fei was taken aback again

Uncle Potter once discovered the Ancient Human Base in the Black Abyss Star Field, and the reason why that base was established was to find the blueprint for the Titan-class warship

This coincides with Qin Mang's statement, but Old Porter doesn't know what the purpose of human civilization spending huge forces to find this kind of super battleship blueprint is, and he, like Xia Fei, thinks that ancient humans are driven by curiosity.

Listening to Qin Mang now is really thrilling

It turns out that the reason why ancient humans are so crazy to find the Titan blueprint is because they know that their catastrophe has descended in order to preserve their own race

Xia Fei could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, his fingers were trembling slightly, and his heart was full of uneasiness.

"After getting this confidential document, it dawned on me that the god of the Titans mentioned in the epitaph was not a god worshipped by other intelligent races, but a kind of super battleship, a super battleship that could destroy the universe."

Xia Fei pondered for a moment and asked, "Old man, is there any inevitable connection between the Titans and the destruction of civilization?" ”

Qin Mang shook his head, "It's a pity that the information I got is not complete, and even the ancient humans themselves can't tell why they want to find and create Titans, it seems that that is the only way to avoid the extinction of the human race." ”

"It's a pity" Xia Fei slapped his thigh hard, and the mystery could not be revealed, which made Xia Fei very unwilling.

"I, like you, am unwilling to be unable to solve this secret, so I desperately went to all the places in the universe that could be reached to find it, and the poison of the Six-Winged Heavenly Venerable on my body was also planted at that time."

"Although I couldn't find any evidence of the demise of civilization, I stumbled upon my mentor, who at that time was just a Silver Star Adjudicator in the Adjudicators' Guild, living a carefree life, and it was my teacher who brought me into the Guild and helped me step by step."

"At that time, Thuram would often go to always look for me, although this guy was a little arrogant, but the essence was not bad, so the master also took him under the door, and we are still brothers, but because of the teacher's strict orders, we never talk about outsiders, even Thuram and I like to accept apprentices all our lives, but we are also influenced by the teacher."

Xia Fei nodded, needless to say, Qin Mang is even more peach and plum all over the world, what is strange is that the seemingly shrewd old man Qin Mang's apprentices are very general, and Thuram, who has a somewhat rude personality, has accepted some very good apprentices, which can be regarded as an interesting matter.

"Ever since I followed Master, he stopped me from running around collecting information about the Titans, and I was once very discouraged, until Master said something to me when he was dying decades ago, and it dawned on me." Qin Mang said mysteriously.
