Chapter 118: The Secret History (II)
"As long as there are more than two insiders of a matter, it cannot be kept as a secret. www.biquge.info Besides, this is not a secret, it's just a taboo. ”
"But the period in which it happened has ......"
"Six hundred years have passed, yes." Xuanzang calmly continued, "There are some traces that cannot be erased by several lifetimes. What's more, the aftermath of this incident is still there today, and it can be seen in every corner of the sky as long as you look up. ”
Humans once had the ability to fly until an overwhelming nuclear flame burned all the metal feathers. After the Battle of Doom, flying became the prerogative of the gods, all the satellites and space stations in orbit were shot down, the few research stations established on the neighboring planets were ruthlessly destroyed, and even all the probes that had not lost contact were recovered by them, leaving no hope for mortals.
The planets beneath their feet could no longer meet the needs of more advanced research, and it should have been a matter of course for the gods at the absolute apex to go deeper into the universe. Anti-gravity engines and controlled nuclear fusion technology have matured so much that interstellar navigation is no longer out of reach, and establishing a foothold on another planet has become a very simple matter. However, at this time, they chose to stand still.
Because even if their ship were to catch up with the speed of light, it would still take hundreds of years to reach the next suitable galaxy. A few hundred years is enough time for a sea change, and unless everyone leaves and maintains the existing stable structure to sail together, division will become inevitable and control over mortals will no longer be maintained. They can't take this step lightly until they find a proper solution.
In the end, both sides of the Immortal Buddha decided to send some members as pioneers to try interstellar travel, including the first generation of gods who were regarded as the creator gods, the representatives of the heavenly court were Yuan Shi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun, and the Da Lei Yin Temple was the ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp and Maitreya Buddha. The spacecraft carries a total of 12 astronauts, equipped with a complete immortality system and certain scientific research equipment, and records their voyages throughout the process as a reference for possible future applications.
However, within half a year, the ship lost contact. Three years later, the spacecraft reappeared near the asteroid belt, but its trajectory was not observed in the probe, and it appeared as if it appeared out of thin air, which sent chills down the spine of the gods. The reappeared ship did not respond to the message sent and showed obvious intent to attack, aiming directly at the Heavenly Palace.
The battle unfolded abruptly and ended quickly. The top brass had taken precautions against such a situation, completed a sniper attack from three astronomical units away, and successfully intercepted the antimatter torpedoes fired by the opposing side. After the incident, Taishang Laojun personally directed the recovery and investigation of the wreckage of the spacecraft. The relevant information of the incident is classified as top secret, and only he, the Jade Emperor, and Rulai have the right to view it, and only a few words have been released to the public, which is roughly this: this is a long-planned attack, an extremely evil act that is openly hostile to all the gods and even the entire world, and the other party is trying to destroy the entire planet and establish a new civilization in outer space.
As for the specific motive and other details, it is said that it will not be disclosed for security reasons. Due to the sensitive identity of the parties, this incident has become an absolute taboo. Despite their many doubts, the immortals had to put away their curiosity and remain silent. No one wants to be perceived as showing signs of division, and after such a thing, it is enough for them to drink a pot of water just by openly discussing the rights and wrongs of the creator gods.
In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, the fortifications known as the Nearland Great Wall began to be built. Two hundred and thirty armed nodes were deployed in low-Earth orbit to cover the entire planet beyond the atmosphere, and the number of nodes was later increased to 1,000. In the event of an unauthorized vehicle, impermeable laser beams and electromagnetic jets will destroy it instantly.
But the main purpose of the Great Wall is not to defend externally, but to defend internally. Until other civilizations are discovered, the threat from the ground is what needs to be addressed. At the same time, the Fairy Buddha Group strengthened the monitoring of the behavior of internal personnel, and set up a new department specifically for this purpose, which has become the current Supervision Department after several years of development.
With the opening of the cultivation channel, the members of the immortal world gradually replaced, and after years of suppression, this creation god defection incident slowly sank to the bottom of Shi Hai, and many new members no longer knew the full picture of the incident. Through the influence secretly exerted by the Ministry of Supervision, most of the Heavenly Gods also tended to tacitly avoid this matter and maintain the stability of the Immortal Buddha's dominance.
"It's ironic that it's the Ombudsman himself who is questioning this now." Xuanzang shook his head slightly and said, "Since he has been awarded the immortal position of an inspector, then Yang Jian should be aware of the responsibility he bears, and he is the one who should not question this matter the most." What exactly affected him? ”
"The history of being deliberately blocked has always aroused people's strong curiosity." After Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, he suddenly realized a certain word that had been slightly emphasized, "Wait a minute, ...... you said 'questioning'?" ”
"Yes, questioning." Xuanzang repeated, "Just digging out more specific events out of curiosity will not make Yang Jian so cautious that he has to use the power of others to cover for himself." He apparently saw through its essence, that is, the so-called defection incident, which was just a curtain used to block people's sight. The forbidden transgression of the secret history, the power struggle of the creator god...... Using these reasons to cover up will make it easier for everyone to accept. Most of us are actually very accustomed to being ruled and used to accepting these inherent episodes that happen to rulers, aren't we? ”
After a short silence, he heard Zhen Yuanzi's sigh: "It's exactly as you say. These things should not be talked about with you, but your analysis is so close to Jiro Zhenjun, so I will reveal some of them on my own initiative. Since the direct information was closely guarded, the Jade Emperor would never let others touch it, so Erlang Zhenjun had to dig from another direction. And all indications point to the very questionable authenticity of that battle.
"The wreckage of that year was directly recovered to the Tushi Palace for dismantling and analysis, and no one else witnessed the process except Taishang Laojun. This is one of the major doubts. Secondly, regarding the two antimatter torpedoes, Jiro Zhenjun started from the operation of the stars and found that the nearby asteroid group did not show the calculated orbital changes and material losses. It was a destroyer-class torpedo, and if it had really been detonated there, it would not have left no traces. In addition, the entire activity record on the spacecraft ......"
Xuanzang listened carefully to the details listed by Zhen Yuanzi, and nodded silently, he had long been suspicious about the authenticity of that battle, and every piece of evidence that Yang Jian took out made their common guess more credible. Today, there are not many immortals left who have experienced this and dared to question it, and I didn't expect that they would stand shoulder to shoulder on this special front.
Zhen Yuanzi continued: "It's a pity that all this is not enough, not enough to be conclusive evidence. The point is what is worth hiding in this way. It was at this stage that the investigation encountered obstacles, and Jiro Makoto couldn't find a suitable entry point for a long time, until new progress was made in some unexpected place.
