Chapter 19: The Ark Project
"What do you want to write?" James asked Wang Xiaoming. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Do you have any photos from the scene? The one he died. Wang Xiaoming asked James.
"Then there must be, keeping the scene is the most basic, okay?" James said speechlessly, feeling that Wang Xiaoming looked down on him.
"Okay, let's write it like this." Wang Xiaoming began to ponder.
Asked James to write the following: "I came home with my body and soul. Don't think about me. By the way. The people here are very welcoming, and if you are going to come, they will welcome you very much. ”
There are two pictures with it, one is the one with a beautiful selfie and a bright smile on the profile picture. The other is him slumped on the ground, his chest covered in blood, a bloody hole in his eyebrows, and a painful expression.
"Two megabytes of information can be transmitted to Mars in four minutes and twenty-seven seconds. Let them mess around for a while. Wang Xiaoming looked at the fire companion circle in the sending and said.
'Compatriot?' They're also earthlings? "Yi San has wanted to ask this question for a long time.
"Yes, they were also earthlings." Wang Xiaoming recalled the past painfully.
"Are they Martian immigrants?" Yi San asked.
"You've seen 2012, the end of the world, but it's different. One hundred and fifty years ago, NASA launched a program called the Ark Project. It is planned to immigrate some of the inhabitants of Earth to Mars. At that time, the open recruitment quota was 200,000 people, and as long as the medical examination was passed, those who met the requirements could participate in the space capsule for 8 months. 200,000 people went to Mars five times in 20 years. Most of these people are scientists, because developing a new territory requires data feedback from technicians and scientists. Of course, a social structure will not be so simple, and in addition to scientists, there will also be economists and construction workers, as well as genetically screened women, because that is the key to human survival. The only ones who are not taken into account are writers and politicians, so there are no writers or politicians on it. Because, they belong to the earth, and the politicians of the earth feel that they belong to the earth! ”
"It is this idea that the vision of a politician is often like looking at the sea with a newspaper in the toilet and imagining the appearance of a whale, forever packaging his evil with justice to propagate everywhere, leading him to believe in his own justice and benevolence." Wang Xiaoming expressed his thoughts.
"You mean the people above have defected?" Yi San thought that it should be impossible.
"No, since the third immigration, some companies have launched interstellar tourism business. It is these businesses that have sent a large number of 'politicians' to Mars. The human environment continues to deteriorate. Getting on the 'Ark' has become the dream of all earthlings. So, there's a problem. Wang Xiaoming sighed.
"What's the problem?" Yi San asked curiously.
"Some people spread rumors that the recruitment process was shady. The reason is so far-fetched, but it sets off huge waves. Wang Xiaoming said.
"What reason? Can only the rich get on? Wang Xiaoming thinks it should be a matter of wealth and poverty.
There was also a reason for this, there were a lot of people who signed up at that time, so there were many people who met, far exceeding the number of people that the ark could carry. So, NASA has launched a form of public fundraising, yes, another way to get tickets to the Ark. A high-sounding way. Wang Xiaoming paused, "The biggest problem is the problem that will never stop, the racial problem. Some people felt that there was serious racial discrimination in the first and second groups of immigrants. I don't deny or admit it, but the first and second groups of immigrants are definitely the fairest and most just. It was this rumor that made some politicians and military strategists smell the breath of power and start the Third World War. In the end, the victorious side gathered most of the earth's resources, built a bigger ark, and went to Mars. ”
"The winning side? Which country has this strength? Yi San was shocked.
"It's not a country, it's a company, a mysterious company that somehow has mastered military power and weapons far beyond those of the time. Rise quickly in the maelstrom of world wars. Defeat all the nations that contend with it in the end. Went to Mars as a future trailblazer. Wang Xiaoming recalled the past.
"Passei?" Yi San asked.
"How do you know?" Wang Xiaoming was shocked.
"I came here inexplicably because I participated in the scientific expedition organized by this company." Yi San felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"At that time? Could it be that the company already knew the future at that time? Wang Xiaoming was shocked.
"Maybe it's a coincidence, it's not that scary, is it?" James was also shocked.
"And then?" Wang Xiaoming wants to know the following.
Later, they presented themselves as victors, and they took it for granted that the earth was theirs. They came to the earth to get whatever they lacked, and at that time, because of the turmoil in the world caused by the outbreak of the Third World War, they were still stabbing in the back. In order to take advantage of the chaos to seize the earth's resources. We're not going to be happy. It's okay to say that our own people rob our own people, after all, they are still our own, but it is more expensive for the losing side to use. You said you were going to snatch our stuff to Mars and let us watch you use it. That's certainly not going to be happy. Therefore, the various countries on the earth formed an alliance, and although there was an internal struggle, the only constant was to prevent the people from Mars from taking a single cent away. Wang Xiaoming clenched his fists.
"And then?" The more Yi San listened, the more fascinated he became, and his emotions fluctuated with Wang Xiaoming's speed of speech.
"Later, they launched a nuclear attack that flattened the entire Alps. And then that's what you see now. Wang Xiaoming was still terrified when he said about the nuclear weapons.
"What's the matter with the broken sun?" Yi San asked Wang Xiaoming.
"This is a military secret at the highest level, and no one knows what is going on. June 11, 2105 was a catastrophe, a catastrophe. I don't know if it was a natural or man-made disaster, the sun collapsed from the inside, shattered into pieces, and the ejected stream of high-energy particles turned the earth into a sea of fire. And it destroys 50% of the atmosphere structure, the glaciers melt, the magnetic field reverses, and that's a real dire situation. 60% of the world's living things are wiped out. Humanity is also on the verge of extinction. Therefore, later on the earth, because of the radiation from the earth's surface, all human beings moved underground. Later, the earth-eating bacteria became what they are now. Maybe it's just God's punishment for human sin, no, it should be salvation. Wang Xiaoming made a helpless expression.
Yi San's face was full of sadness, and he couldn't accept so much information for a while. But it seems that the person I know should not exist at that time. However, their children and grandchildren were still there, and Yi San couldn't control his tears.
"By the way, since the earth did not escape this catastrophe, how did Mars escape it?" Yi San thought about the crux of the matter.
"They have technology far beyond the current civilization!" Wang Xiaoming said heavily.
Yi San finally knew how terrifying the person he was about to face.
"Huh? An urgent text message from headquarters! James retrieved a text message from the Alliance for the Defense of the Earth from the code tunnel.
"What is it?" Wang Xiaoming looked at James.
"It's a picture, a picture of the earth." James said, pointing to the screen.
"What's that?" Wang Xiaoming felt that James was fooling him with a screensaver.
"Isn't this a screensaver?" Yi San looked at James speechlessly.
"Oh, it looks like a screensaver, sorry." James clicked the spacebar in embarrassment.
I saw the code on the screen flickering rapidly. Can't see what it is at all.
"Wait a minute, I'll transcode it. This flow of information looks a little bright and blind, but it's all pediatrics. James tapped the keyboard with ease.
"Go to Nimal Gobi!?"
"I'm Nima!"
"it!"
James, Yi San and Wang Xiaoming shouted at the same time.
What the hell is this?
Because on the screen, a picture slowly opens like a lily window.
A picture is exactly a picture! And it's a picture that's about the same as a screensaver! Except for the clouds above the earth, everything else is just like a dime!
"James, it's not funny." Wang Xiaoming was a little angry.
"Am I going to joke about this kind of thing?" James said angrily.
"And what does that mean?" Wang Xiaoming pointed to the picture and said.
"How do I know headquarters. Maybe it was the hackers of the underground city who intercepted the headquarters route and released it. James said angrily.
"Then I'll try the three-layer encryption algorithm again, generally the headquarters will not release three-layer encryption unless there is an emergency." James looked at the picture and thought deeply.
"Then hurry up, the group of hackers underground is really uncomfortable, if it is them, they will have to be tortured in the three-dimensional dot matrix for several months after they are found out." Wang Xiaoming was also a little angry.
I saw James download the picture and open it with a retouching software. The image is retouched with the specified filter index and then reversed. A strange picture appeared in front of them.
The white clouds in the picture have turned inky and the rest of the place is gray and black.
"This is a prank!" Wang Xiaoming looked at this picture like a blank sheet of paper splashed at random and shouted.
"It really doesn't seem like there's any content." James also said dejectedly.
"Wait, wait, it shouldn't be that simple." Yi San's expression looked serious.
Because Yi San saw that in the lower right corner of the picture, a black symbol was very familiar, and it should not be a coincidence.
That symbol resembles a branch, a streamlined branch. One is divided into two, and one of the two is divided into one.
"There should be a signature here!" Yi San said confidently pointing to the branch in the lower right corner of the picture.
"Oh, you know hieroglyphs. This is just the result of ordinary clouds being reversed. James thought it was a prank, and was about to report it to HQ, and was about to track down the source of the signal to find out the culprit.
"I don't think it's easy." Yi San underestimated.
"How is this possible, hey, it seems that I am really thinking too much. Even I wouldn't have survived then. Not to mention grandpa. Yi San thought of his grandfather and felt sad again. The most painful person for his disappearance should be his grandfather.
Because there is a unique signature in the method of quick recording that his grandfather taught him. The streamlined signature of the dendritic tree is not a branch, but a river, an upside-down river. It was his grandfather's name: Yi Jianghe.
It's easy! Yi, in Chinese characters, has the meaning of change. The Yi River is to change the river, so the signature turns into a dendritic inverted river.
