After Lan Xingyi walked into the No. 29 mansion of Xishan Tomb, she first plugged in the door, and then locked it from the inside, and then opened the door and walked in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere was a black hole in the room, Lan Xingyi turned on the chandelier in the room with the dim light, and the dim light filled the whole room. She looked at the pyramid and the chalice at the top of the tower, and then she dipped a clean cloth in water, wiped a sofa on the right side of the room, put her trench coat on the back of the sofa, and sat down on it with her eyes closed.

When it was completely dark, Lan Xingyi got up from the sofa, turned off the lights and paced in circles around the room. After a while, there was a rustling sound at the top of the pyramid, which grew louder and louder, and then the sound became a crunching sound, as if something was expanding, and it seemed to be loosening the muscles. After a while, the Holy Grail of Kung Fu lit up, and a crystal ball popped out of it with a thud, flying directly into Lan Xingyi's open hand. Lan Xingyi held the crystal ball in her hand and closed her eyes and pondered for a while, the crystal ball slowly lit up, and then the blue light filled the whole room, and the surrounding scenery gradually became clear, a small crater in the middle, the mountain grew dense trees and weeds, the color was not very distinct, everything was bathed in the blue night. Lan Xingyi closed her eyes peacefully, waiting for the dawn.

After a while, the light became brighter and brighter, and a small sun rose behind the crater, the small sun glowed with a faint blue light, although it was not as good as the day, but the color of the plants and trees on the crater could already be distinguished clearly, it was a large garden of thousands of purples and reds. There are large and small monsters standing on the crater, with different sizes, the tall ones are more than two meters tall, and the short ones are only a few tens of centimeters, all of them have bright red eyes the size of two eggs, and their body shape is very similar to that of an Australian kangaroo, but they have a horse's head and antennae like antennas on their heads; The front feet are raised, with two paws; The hind limbs are very well developed, with the hooves of two animals, bat-like wings on the back, a tail dragged behind it, and the whole body is covered with black-red hair.

A wrinkled horse's head in the middle spoke very anxiously: "Xingyi, you said last time that it was exposed, what happened later, was it discovered?" ”

Lan Xingyi slowly opened her eyes and said calmly: "No, according to what you said, when I measured the brain waves, except for the little brain cells on duty on the day of the accident, all the brain tissues in other parts were hypnotized, all the special functions were turned off, and the intensity of the normal brain waves of humans was as close as possible, and it did not attract their attention!" ”

"Well, that's good!" The old horse head Xingtian nodded, and asked uneasily, "What you said is true?" ”

"It's true!" Lan Xingyi replied in the affirmative.

"Well, with your abilities, it's not difficult to evade their surveillance! Just pay attention to your own safety! Xingtian seemed to say to himself.

"I see!" Lan Xingyi was like a little girl, and she nagged that old horse head Xingtian.

"Xingyi, how are you doing on Earth these days?" Xingtian asked with concern.

"Very good, I have been studying humanities for more than two years, and I feel that I have gained a lot, the modern civilization of this planet is the Renaissance that originated in Europe, and it is the ideas of science and humanities that light up the sky of Europe, and it is likely that culture and art are the key to solving our problems!" Lan Xingyi said very ostentatiously.

"Since modern civilization originated in the European Renaissance, why did you choose to register in China? Of course, it's your freedom to choose where you want to log in, but I'm still quite prejudiced about your choice, and today I will gather the people of our tribe to listen to your thoughts, because not a single radio signal we received in the early days came from this land. Xingtian's mouth was full of complaints, and the negative expression made the wrinkles on his horse's head even deeper.

"You're right!" Lan Xingyi said calmly. "Not only radio, but also the entire modern science and modern civilization have little to do with this country, which somewhat makes this superpower with a splendid civilization of 5,000 years bleak!"

"Then why did you choose to log in here?" Xingtian hurriedly asked.

"In fact, I wandered around the Internet for a long time before logging in, thinking carefully about the purpose of this trip, and also carefully analyzing the characteristics of various ethnic civilizations. I have never forgotten my mission: it is easy to destroy civilization, but how difficult it is to build civilization, and after dozens of centuries of war and war on our planet, we have to go to the outside planet to find the strength to continue civilization! I wandered around the internet for a long time before finally deciding to log in to China, because this is the only place in 5,000 years where civilization has not been broken! Lan Xingyi said eloquently.

"Their technology is so poor, how strong can civilization be? According to the information you have sold, we find that even the earthlings themselves admit that the contribution of science and technology is greater than that of war and diplomacy, greater than that of churches and universities, greater than that of philosophy and literature, and even greater than the contribution of law! The other horse's heads in the crystal ball also spoke.

"Well, I can't say that, the civilization on this planet is also quite interesting!" Lan Xingyi said very happily. "On this planet, when any nation exalts its culture to the supreme position, it is not far from extinction; On the contrary, if any nation can realize the defects of its own culture, and understand the foreign culture thoroughly, learn from the heart and comprehend the essence of the foreign culture, it will be invincible!

In medieval Europe, the mind was closed, the concept was conservative, there was no learning and no skill, and there was not even a literary masterpiece that could be mastered for hundreds of years! When Genghis Khan's iron cavalry invaded, they were almost powerless to fight back, and they were defeated! However, the Europeans, who were severely traumatized by the war, knew that they had learned from the pain, and they used the gunpowder brought by the Mongol army to the west to make musket artillery, and established the Academy of Sciences to continuously improve the gun technology, so there were strong ships and cannons of modern colonists; They also used the compass invented by the Chinese for navigation, so there was the feat of modern European navigators conquering the world!

Modern China is the same, conservative, repeatedly bullied, still unrepentant, they actually think that all this is caused by the evil of the invaders, and never think about the defects of their own culture, not to learn from the strong, but to be the enemy of the strong, who do not know that humbly learning from the strong is the way for the weak to become stronger! They are passive in everything they do, even their modern history is like this, first by Britain into modern society, and then by Japan into modern society!

In fact, the East and the West are like the two arms of God, and whoever ignores the other will eventually be destroyed! Modern Japan is a good example, originally this island country has been trying to learn from China, after being knocked open by the black ship, they found a better teacher for themselves and worked hard to learn from the West, and quickly became one of the great powers! At this time, the innate pride of mankind came into play, and they began to claim to be the best nation in Asia, pushing their own culture to the supremacy, threatening to conquer the world with militarism and bushido, and finally swallowed the evil consequences of two atomic bombs and came to the brink of destruction!

The situation in China is similar to that of Japan, they have a much older and stronger traditional culture than Japan, which makes them look down on both mercenary businessmen and playful engineers, and only know that everything is inferior, only to be well-educated, and to admire the bureaucrats who have gained prominence through scheming, and it is these capitalist industries and businesses that make a country truly powerful!

China's culture has been inherited for thousands of years, and in modern times, these backward ideas and cultures have made this ancient country slow to make the voice of modern civilization! I hope that our planet will not make the same mistake, our technology has reached unprecedented heights, but war and war are still unavoidable, oppression and slavery still exist! I'm here to look for the power of the continuation of civilization, not to learn high-tech, so there is no need to judge the ability of civilization to continue by the content of science and technology! ”

"You naturally have your point!" Xingtian said with some dissatisfaction. "Since you are sure that you can find the power to continue civilization here, I don't want to say much, you have to be more careful when dealing with these creatures who advocate the use of power to take advantage of the wealth!"

"Well, Star Lord, you're right!" Lan Xingyi changed her tone. "This civilization is full of hostility to the unknown and the foreign, take the radio that you have repeatedly mentioned before, on this planet, the radio was invented by Marconi, who was Italian, but it was patented in England and founded in England, which is unthinkable in China at the end of the nineteenth century! Even after 1949, in order to prevent foreigners from earning Chinese money, they still drove away hundreds of thousands of foreigners engaged in industry and commerce in this land!

Britain ruled the world for 200 years, and there is still a good reason, they have a whole set of mechanisms for putting ingenuity into the practical track, they have formulated the world's first patent law, the best talents in the world can be used by him, people of different races, different races, different faiths can shine in this mechanism!

To know how important the patent law is, I have never doubted the intelligence of the Chinese, Zu Chongzhi estimated pi to 3.1415926 very early, but this did not bring Zu Chongzhi even the slightest benefit! In this country, a lot of advanced technology has been lost, and these bastards actually blame this on the lack of dedication of the creators! It's ridiculous!

The loss of the technological innovation created by those extremely intelligent craftsmen is a serious defect in the formulation of the state and the traditional culture! In order to prevent the income of their hard work from falling into the hands of others, the common people without the protection of the patent law have no choice but to find their own way out. Without a male heir, it would be difficult for these technological innovations to escape the fate of being lost! Their legal awareness and patent spirit should be the lowest of all the great powers! Lan Xingyi told her experience very regretfully.

"Hmm" Xingtian nodded, and then asked, "You mean that the radio was first sent from the UK?" ”

"yes!" Lan Xingyi was a little puzzled when she heard this.

"Then our early manned spacecraft should all fly to this land!"

"Our previous manned spacecraft?" Lan Xingyi was even more puzzled.

"Yes, ever since we received the radio signal, we have been constantly trying to establish contact with this civilization, and several expeditions have been sent, but no one has sent back the signal except you!" Xingtian said regretfully.

"I know about sending expeditions, but I haven't heard of manned spacecraft!" Lan Xingyi said in surprise.

"That's when we first received the Earth signal! Our technology is not as advanced as it is now, and in order to communicate with alien civilizations, we can only launch manned spacecraft according to conventional methods! ”

"Oh, that's right..."Lan Xingyi began to think carefully with her eyes closed.

"Xingyi, what did you think of?" Xingtian hurriedly asked.

"Star Lord, recently I discovered that other extraterrestrial civilizations have sent expeditions to this planet!" Lan Xingyi thought for a while, opened her eyes and said.

"Oh? Other civilizations? Did they send it successfully? Xingtian asked vigilantly.

"Looks like it didn't send it successfully!" Lan Xingyi said more cautiously.

"Do you know where the civilization is?"

"I don't know, but it's certainly not the civilization of our planet! At first, I thought it was an expedition we sent, after all, we have already sent several expeditions, and I reached the earth by shortcut, none of them can reach the speed of light, if there is any delay on the way, maybe I will reach the earth before the previous expedition, so I went to check, their information is not related to our information at all, and I have not been able to read their mission information! Lan Xingyi replied affirmatively.

"You're going to check? Didn't find out, right? Xingtian asked nervously.

"Nope!"

"So how did they deliver it, and are there any advanced technologies that can be learned?"

"Advanced technology, advanced technology, no!" Lan Xingyi said impatiently. "Like our expedition team, they also take out the cells of an organism, save a full set of genetic material, store mission information in the genetic material, remove the cytoplasm and organelles, make a super virus, put the virus on a miniature spaceship, and then accelerate the spacecraft to a speed close to the speed of light, and then look for organic parasitism on the earth, generally looking for horses, cattle and sheep and the like!"

"They didn't make it?" Xingtian asked unwillingly.

"No, there are only twenty kinds of amino acids on this planet, which is not enough at all, and only one of them has been successfully alienated, because there is no way to digest the proteins on the earth, there is no way to adapt to the strong light environment of the earth, and he died in the mountains!" Lan Xingyi said lightly.

"In this way, the expedition we sent out will not escape destruction!" Xingtian said worriedly, and the deep wrinkles on the horse's head wrinkled tightly.

"Well, the expedition sent by our tribe later didn't go in the direction of the United States, did it?" Lan Xingyi asked casually.

"How do you know?" Xingtian asked nervously.

"What year was it sent?" Lan Xingyi did not answer his question.

"According to the Earth Era, the most recent one should be around 1964! There was a location on Earth where the radio signal was stronger than the one where the radio signal was first emitted, so we sent an expedition to this location! ”

"That's right, the expedition left our planet Lyra-1 in 1964, broke away from Vega's gravitational field a day later, and went into outer space at nearly the speed of light, reaching Earth about twenty-six years later, that is, around 1990, reaching the United States, and landing in New Jersey!"

"You know everything?"

"I don't know, I just read a report, it was in the last century, when the U.S. Navy officer Stephen Durthen was testing munitions at the New Jersey shooting range, he saw a monster flying overhead, this monster was like a kangaroo, but it had a goat's head, bat-like wings, and tentacles, and a tail, which moved quickly, covered with black and red hair, a head like a horse, dark red eyes, and a creepy cry!"

"Isn't that how we are described?" Meng Kong interrupted Lan Xingyi and said.

"Yes, U.S. Navy officer Stephen Dekate shot at him, but the monster flew away unscathed! The most recent sighting was in 1991, when a pizza delivery man in New Jersey encountered a horse-like creature at night! Lan Xingyi continued.

"You mean, in the United States?" Xingtian asked.

"Yes, that's another superpower that has risen on the North American continent after the fall of Britain!"

"That means our expedition has a whereabouts?" Xingtian was a little excited.

"yes, they gave us a name, Jersey Devil!" Lan Xingyi looked angry.

"Huh? Such an ugly name! Meng Kong couldn't help but interject again.

"Yes! In fact, our vanguard is also very difficult, they are not adapted to the environment of the earth, they have to suck blood everywhere, slaughter livestock everywhere, no wonder humans give them such a name! In fact, when I first saw the Jersey Devil, I suspected that it was an expedition sent by our planet, but I only knew that I had received a radio signal from the United Kingdom, and I didn't expect the expedition to be sent to the United States! ”

"And then?" Xingtian still does not give up hope.

"It hasn't been reported since 1991, and it hasn't appeared for so long, I'm afraid it's a lot of bad luck!"

"Hmm," Xingtian nodded in disappointment at his shrunken horse's head. "Xingyi, on the one hand, you are studying humanities during this time, and on the other hand, you are trying to find a way to verify the whereabouts of our manned spacecraft!"

"Well, okay, that's all for today! I still have some important information to prepare! ”

"Well, take care then!" The light of the crystal ball became dimmer and dim, and the objects inside became more and more blurred, the crater was gone, and the monsters of all sizes were gone, leaving only the room in darkness. Lan Xingyi held the crystal ball in one hand and turned on the chandelier with the other, and the crystal ball immediately flew up and flew into the holy grail at the top of the pyramid.
