Chapter 2: Hidden Earth

I grew up with Bai Shimizu and experienced countless star changes together. Things gather like people and we have a lot in common. If I doubt her, I doubt myself. Walking in the universe and doubting oneself means losing one's way and eventually dying alone in deep space.

"Giant Devourer, find a place to hide, and start collecting all the information on this planet."

My purpose is clear, since others can't help me, I have to rely on myself. Understanding the root cause of the whole thing helps me make the most appropriate judgment.

After some calculations and measurements, the Giant Phage built a satellite that hid behind the "Miracle of Life" satellite to collect information. It was a secluded place, so I agreed to the Megaphage's choice.

It takes a long time to understand the history of a race and the history of civilization. I can't wait until I understand the history of civilization of the entire species before I take action. When I learned some basic information about the "Earth", I dropped the giant phage on the surface of the moon and drove into the atmosphere alone in a reconnaissance plane.

Even some basic information surprised me. In my cosmic career, I have never encountered a planet with such a diverse and splendid history of civilization as Earth. For this, I struggled for a long time and didn't know where to start. In the end, I chose China. This country has a more complete history of the development of civilization, which helps me to have an in-depth understanding of the civilization of the earth.

Before leaving, the Giant Phage quickly converted the relevant information of the Chinese language into a common code used by the cosmic-centric cultural system, and through the guò code, I could speak the Chinese language and write and turn it into a communication signal that I could understand.

On the night of February 2, 2012, I infiltrated the earth as a Chinese man and began my journey to the earth.

I evaded the Chinese Air Force's defenses and landed in a forest in the western part of Guangdong Province. In order not to leave any clues, I sent the reconnaissance plane back to the far side of the moon. Next, I need to find a suitable identity for myself.

I walked alone through the mountains, feeling this land known as the "miracle of life". The fact that such a race with unlimited potential can be bred here is inseparable from the credit of this land. For me, who has been traveling in deep space for a long time, every moment of stepping on this land is worth remembering and praising memorable.

After a few minutes of information acquisition, I had a basic understanding of what was going on. The area is relatively poor and backward, and the surrounding area is inaccessible, with only one winding road to prove that the area has been artificially developed.

It's spring, but it's a low latitude, and the rest of the landscape doesn't change dramatically except for some deciduous plants that are gradually recovering. What excites me a little is that there are different kinds of critters hidden everywhere. I've been to many planets, but none of them can compare to the diversity of species on this planet. Even if they are several times larger than here, they are not qualified to compare. It's like a huge gene pool of species, not like a biological system formed by pure natural reproduction, which makes me even more curious. As Bai Shimizu said, it is indeed not simple here. I had to figure out a qiē!

As I sighed and pondered, I heard an explosion on the mountainside ahead. I ran over and found out it was a disaster. A small car broke through the guardrail, fell to the bottom of the valley and exploded. I approached the scene of the accident and found the body of a man. Except for the faint fluctuations in his brain, his bodily functions have been completely lost. This means that he is close to death. I mobilized the energy in my body to adjust the frequency of my brain waves, and intercepted the last brain signals he sent. From these weak signals, I learned that his name is Liu Wen, 22 years old this year, working in Guangzhou, just after the Spring Festival holiday, Ben was on the way back to the company, suddenly received an urgent notice from his father at home, and rushed home overnight.

After learning these basic information, Liu Wen died completely. I looked at his corpse and a good plan came to mind. His identity is just right for me to use. So I changed my appearance and body shape according to Liu Wen's appearance, and then opened the unburned trunk and took out a set of clothes from the duffel bag inside to change. I searched Liu Wen's body and found a wallet containing his ID card, bank cards and cash in his trouser pocket. With this, I can become a competent citizen of the earth.

After obtaining the identity, I turned on the universal energy converter I wore on my wrist, switched to the energy extractor mode, and refined Liu Wen's corpse into pure energy and stored it in my body. Universal energy converters can realize the conversion of various energies in space. Matter is only a superficial form of solidified energy, and through the use of dark matter energy, matter can be broken down into pure energy. This process is reversible, and the energy can also be converted into matter through the guò energy converter. Energy control is an important academic knowledge to control the operation of universal energy converters. The amount of knowledge contained in it is greater than the amount of information accumulated by the entire solar system from its inception to the present. Legend has it that those bigwigs in the center of the universe were able to use the energy manipulation technology in energy control to create an artificial galaxy. In this regard, I'll admit that I'm still a toddler.

Using a universal energy converter, I restored and carried the car back to the road halfway up the mountain, and then drove to my "home" according to the pre-set navigation route.

This is a village hidden in the mountains, called Liujia Village. In front of me is an old mansion with blue bricks, gray tiles and red window lattices. Although it is old, it is unusually strong. Moreover, judging from the distribution of the magnetic field around the house, this house hides a mystery. There were a lot of new bungalows built near the house, but they didn't arouse much interest in me. I speculate that these houses belong to the descendants of the owners of the old mansions. From the orientation and pattern, I can perceive some subtle connections. After I sensed the magnetic field lines, I could basically determine that this belonged to some kind of academic civilization. After later research, I learned that they called it Feng Shui Formation. It's a very interesting way to use foreign objects and tools to control energy.

The big house was brightly lit, and the living room was full of people, about seventy or eighty, some men and women, but all of them were adults, all of them were descendants of the Liu family. Because the information I received from Liu Wen was incomplete, I was unable to identify them one by one.

"Arwen, are you back?"

It was Liu Wen's uncle, Liu Yong, who spoke to me. Liu Yong is the third in the Liu family, has an older sister Liu Yue, and an older brother Liu Wu - that is, Liu Wen's father. Liu Wu and Liu Yue were not in the hall at this time, which made me very puzzled.

"Uncle Yong, what's going on?"

Liu Yong patted me on the shoulder and said heavily, "I don't know what it is. All in all, it's a big deal. Everyone in the family came. The second uncle also came. It's such a big battle during the New Year! ”

"Second uncle?" Liu Wen didn't have any information about the second uncle in his head, and I hope it wouldn't make me exposed.

"It's not strange that you haven't heard of the second uncle. He has been cultivating in the mountains. His children and grandchildren don't see him a few times a year, let alone us. I only remember him appearing once at your grandfather's funeral, holding you and telling your dad to train you well as he left. Liu Yong said very mysteriously.

"I ...... Why am I not impressed? My tone was a little nervous. I don't want to come to Earth in the first guise. While it won't affect me much, it will be a loss of face.

"You weren't a year old at the time, and you were still drinking milk, so I don't remember anything strange. Ha ha! Liu Yong said while laughing and patting my head.

I was relieved that it was so. I haven't seen him for twenty years, and I hope that his old man can forget about Liu Wen. Before I had much time to sigh, a white-haired old man with a straight waist and full of energy walked out of the hall. They were followed by a man and a woman. The male is Liu Wen's father Liu Wu, and the female is the second aunt Liu Yue.

With the appearance of the old man, the crowd in the hall was in a commotion, and they all stood up and saluted, shouting "Second uncle is good". I looked at this second uncle curiously, the magnetic field on his body was very strange, and the energy emitted was stronger than Liu Meng beside him. This is a bit unreasonable when measured in terms of the bodily functions that correspond to the human life cycle. Could it be ......

I was shocked that in the history of the universe, there were two major branches in the development of higher intelligent beings. They are "tool energy civilization" and "bioenergy civilization", the former is the use of tools to control the use of energy, and the latter is the use of living organisms to control the use of energy. At present, human civilization is classified as "instrumental energy civilization", and most civilizations in the universe fall into this category; On the other side of the universe corresponding to the Milky Way, there is a kind of energy body being, which can use its body to control all kinds of energy. The Ministry of Culture of the Center for the Universe classifies it as a bioenergetic civilization. The organisms of the bioenergetic civilization have a common characteristic, that is, the life cycle of the organisms in the tool energy civilization is much longer than that of the instrumental energy civilization.

The Biological R&D Department of the Center for the Universe is aimed at these two civilizations respectively, taking their essence and removing their dross, and fusing new artificial species like me. If human beings are breaking down the barriers to the development of these two civilizations, it means that their technology is catching up with the highest civilization in the center of the universe. It's hard for a naturally developing species to get this kind of speed, which makes me suspect that there will be a bigger conspiracy lurking behind.

Because of my shock, I fixed my eyes on the second uncle's body. The second uncle clearly felt my eyes, and looked at me with his unfathomable eyes. My heart trembled, and I quickly lowered my head to dodge.

"Everybody sit down!" The loud and calm voice of the second uncle sounded in the hall.

Everyone sat down quietly, and I was pulled by Uncle Yong to stand quietly beside him. Although Liu Yong is in his thirties and almost forty, he is still single, so he loves Liu Wen, his nephew.

"The situation is urgent, so I won't talk nonsense. Summoning everyone over this time, there is a major event related to the survival of our Dugu family! ”
