Chapter 760: Surviving Peace
In the midst of a huge explosion and continuous star tremors, Drom finally fell apart.
The complete death of the firstborn led to the end of the planet a few hours early, those tentacles buried deep underground released all the primordial energy they contained, and the powerful forces from eons ago washed the land, and under the witness of the drone swarm and the inquisitor, Zhuom first burst out from the equatorial position with a burst of bright light, and then the red light spread along the cracks on the planet's surface, and within a minute, it turned into millions of fragments and flew mightily towards the sun.
In the fragment a dimly lit object was exposed from the core of the planet, and it erupted with a small electric light, which then flashed away.
It was the core power station made by the Zom people, the last material relic left by this civilization, and now it was all over.
The swarm of drones patrolling the planet's orbit did not have the slightest nostalgia for this scene, and they completed several transmission tasks, and now began to disassemble the temporary antenna array that had been assembled before according to the procedure. Led by the mother plane, the swarm-like small drone quickly dismantled the loop antenna into pieces, and then opened one space door after another in space and left the place. In the end, only a silver-white Inquisitor remained where Zom had been, its bow facing the sun, watching the once thriving planet finish its last journey. When the scattered and fragmented star wreckage had turned to smoke in the sunlight, the Giant Turtle Rock turned around, and a small hatch opened in the lower part of it, and a silvery-white, flickering rectangular object floated out of the hatch and began to orbit the previous orbit of Zom.
This small monument commemorates a cradle that once gave birth to life. It is also to remember their former homeland on behalf of the Drom: after all, all the material created by this race has disappeared, and they have no ability to leave a monument of their own.
After the Tortoise Rock has done its last bit of work. Open a space door in the bow of the ship, and jump into the curvature space bubble.
When the darkness outside the ship is gone. The stately structure of the Crystal Nucleus Research Station, which emits a glimmer of light, has appeared in front of everyone. Hao Ren ordered the spacecraft to dock on the No. 1 connecting bridge of the crystal nucleus research station, and at the same time used the spacecraft host to directly connect to the main engine of the crystal nucleus research station, and inquired about the results of the previous large-scale information transmission. Although the drone swarm has already sent a signal of success before, it is more reassuring to confirm it yourself at this time.
"The number jù library has been established, and the souls of the sixteen billion Zhuom and the friendly eldest son are all staying in the number jù library," the number jù terminal reported the situation in the research station, "Now that the human soul is in a frozen state, it is best not to wake them up until we have built a suitable virtual world, the soul of the eldest son is slightly tired." But it's a good situation, and I should be able to accept your inquiry soon. ”
"I'll go in and see it," Hao Ren watched the door of the No. 1 Link Bridge to the main body of the research station slowly open, and said to the terminal, "Is the communication link ready?" This time, I don't need to transfer it to Guò Nolan. ”
"No, now the number jù library is our own, the local machine has established an administrator account, and the call between you and the eldest son will be clearer than before."
"Very well, by the way, inform the giant. I'll see him later, too. Vivien, Lily, and the others - if you want to come along, it's not fun to be on the ship anyway. Terminal. You're here to take care of the ship's main engine, and I'll be able to support it from a distance. ”
Hao Ren said as he walked towards the exit of the bridge, and when he was halfway there, the terminal said in the back: "This machine still needs to be emphasized." You have violated a total of sixteen security rules in this incident, especially the last one. If it weren't for the lack of permissions, the machine would really want to revoke your ship's license......"
Hao Ren waved his hand without looking back: "Oh, oh, oh." I don't even have a driver's license anyway. ”
A group of people left the bridge in a noisy manner, and the last one to walk was "rolling". The cat girl carefully fished Doudou out of the pot and put it on her head, and trotted to follow Hao Ren's figure: "Big cat!" Big cat! Meow this time is so good! What are my little fish? My little dried fish......"
The central hall of the crystal nucleus research station is still the same as before, full of light, solemn and luxurious, and the crystal structures in all directions make this place full of elegant and mysterious but cold and alienated atmosphere. Hao Ren asked "Roll" to take Doudou to the side to play, and he himself came to the crystal mountain in the center of the hall.
Sensing the approach of the main controller, layers of light and shadow floated on the crystal pinnacle mountain, and the main engine of the research station gave priority to the situation of the new number jù library named "Zhuomu". Hao Ren saw a set of holographic projections showing a scene of blue sky, white clouds and clear water, which was beautiful and almost unreal: the endless grassland was dotted with lakes and rivers, and the clear water reflected the blue sky, which looked like a fairyland.
"This is the way the home is," a slightly neutral voice resounded in the hall, "Mommy's garden, it's beautiful, Mommy loves it." ”
Hao Ren was slightly stunned, realizing that this was the voice of the eldest son: thanks to the new connection method established after transferring to the number jù library of the crystal nucleus research station, he could now hear the other party's voice very clearly.
Then he remembered where he had heard the exact same voice:
It was when he was in the virtual world of Zom, he followed the gray fox mercenaries to the Northland ruins, and as he crossed the Gray River, he heard a voice warning to him - that sounded like this!
"Was that you?" Hao Ren asked in surprise, "The ...... who talked to me when you were near the Gray River?"
"It's me," the eldest confessed frankly, "I found that you are from the outside world, and I fear that your spirit will die in my dreams, so I want to warn you. ”
"I see," the truth was revealed, which surprised and incredulous Hao Ren, "It turns out that you spoke to me once back then...... At that time, if we could communicate more, I am afraid that the situation would not be as critical as this time. ”
The eldest son did not hear back, it seems that he is not very good at "assuming" and may also be uninterested in the topic.
Hao Ren's attention turned back to the holographic projection. It shows the Zom from the memories of the eldest son, the flourishing world before the catastrophe. Looking at that beautiful world that is almost a fairy tale scene, it is difficult for Hao Ren to associate it with Zhuo Mu, who has been turned into hell under the scorching sun. He hesitated and asked, "You...... Are you going to rebuild it? Is it rebuilt in the virtual world, or is it ......"
"I just want to see it," the eldest son replied bluntly and simply, "I used to take good care of the garden, so I wanted to keep these pictures and let my mother see them when she returned." ”
Hao Ren was stunned and changed the topic slightly: "I still don't understand how I entered your dream, when I first entered, I didn't have any connection with you, I was just sleeping...... Do you know what's going on? ”
"I feel...... There's something in you that resonates with me, and that's probably why. ”
Hao Ren just wanted to change the topic when he brought up this question, he didn't want to face the heavy fact of the fall of the goddess so quickly, but he didn't expect the other party to really have an answer. He immediately asked urgently: "Resonance? What is the resonance? I tried to bring my friends into the virtual world and failed, you know what's going on? ”
"I don't know about the others, but you ......" the eldest son was silent for a few seconds, "you must have source blood flowing in your body, I can feel that you are somewhat similar to me." I don't know why you look like this, but you'...... Is it also a guardian made by my mother? ”
Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Vivian next to him inexplicably: "There is source blood flowing in the body? Is there one? ”
Vivien blinked, "I didn't find out anyway. ”
Everyone felt inexplicable about what the eldest son said suddenly, and Hao Ren instinctively felt that the other party had made a mistake, probably because of the sequelae after being exposed to the sun for more than 2,000 years. But at this moment, Lily's ears suddenly twitched and she remembered something: "Ah, yes! Landlord, I'm afraid you really have source blood in your body! Have you forgotten when the seal ceremony was held in Halletta? You've sucked all the source blood into your body! ”
Hao Ren suddenly remembered this stubble, but immediately felt that something was not right: "Didn't you find that the source blood quickly decomposed and disappeared?" There should be no residue in the body. ”
Vivien frowned: "That's just a matter of the material level, in terms of material composition, the source blood has indeed disappeared, but the influence of that kind of thing is probably not only material...... Perhaps it has caused unknown interference to your spirit? For example, you can enter the dream of your eldest son. ”
Hao Ren subconsciously touched his chest: "I'll go...... Sounds creepy. ”
The eldest son silently waited for Hao Ren to discuss with the others for a while, and then suddenly asked with anticipation: "I have answered many of your questions, can I tell my mother where is now?" (To be continued......)
