"Because I am not an eyewitness, I also learned about the subsequent encounters of human civilization after I came here and inquired from all directions."

"Wait!"

"What, is there a problem?"

Yang Yi looked at Yang Feng very suspiciously, and after a while, he said, "Don't you think there is a problem?" Pursuit was launched two years after Discovery's departure, and Hope was five years before that. If the Pursuit was also flying at the speed of light, why was it able to come here more than a decade in advance? ”

"Did I say the Pursuit is flying at the speed of light?"

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and then he reacted, Yang Feng really didn't say such a thing.

"Because the 'Exploration' is propelled by the space curvature engine to the speed of light, there is only one way to lift the time bondage, which is to reverse the space curvature engine. Combined with the space jump technology, you can reconstruct the balance of time and space, and return time to normal. Yang Feng smiled faintly and said, "If the 'Pursuit' has also flown at the speed of light, not only will it not be able to catch up with the 'Exploration', but it will also fall into a time prison." ”

"You mean ......"

"Space Jump."

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

For today's humans, space jumping is the primary means of interstellar travel, and the only way to eliminate space and speed limitations.

"It's just that, at that time, we didn't know much about space jumping technology, let alone use it proficiently. The most important thing is that the space treaty needs to open the space channel, and the only thing that can be relied on is the original energy. Since we don't have a complete grasp of how to collect and use the Primal Energy, even if we know that the Primordial Energy exists, it will take a lot of time to obtain the Primordial Energy needed to open the Treaty Channel. As a result, the Pursuit flew primarily at the speed of light, gaining enough Origin Energy to make space jumps, reducing its flight time by about a tenth per second. To put it simply, we came here more than 1,000 years ago, when the Fifth Greenwich War broke out. ”

"Why am I only eighteen?"

"Strictly speaking, you're the second-ranked birthday star today."

"You ......"

Yang Feng smiled and said, "Of course, your actual age is indeed eighteen years old. In the speed of light, time has no effect on us. Because you're too young, and when I came here, I didn't know anything about the world, and it's obviously a burden to wander around with a five-year-old. Don't blame me for saying that, when you have children you will understand how troublesome it is to take care of them. So I have no choice but to keep Discovery flying at the speed of light until I get to know the world, until I have the ability to take care of you and make you healthy and thriving." Although the conditions are not ideal, at least they do not make you stunted due to hunger. ”

At this moment, Yang Yi was completely speechless.

"Besides, I'm not your first guardian. If you have any complaints, when you see Yang Guang and Xiang Yuting, you can complain to them. ”

"Old fellow, you're too irresponsible, aren't you?"

"It seems that you have accepted this fact."

"You ......"

"Alright, complaining won't solve the problem." Yang Feng shook his head with a smile, Yang Yi's initial salutation not only made him angry, but also made him feel very comfortable. "What happened to human civilization since then, in fact, I have already told you, but you always thought that I made up the story."

"You mean ......"

"After we left on the Pursuit, the business empire I built by my own hands did not disintegrate, but continued to operate under the management of the Board of Directors. It's also my fault, because when I left, I didn't tell anyone the truth, I just said that I was going to vacation with you to another planet, and no one knew the truth about the Pursuit, which everyone thought was just a big toy built up by the super-rich with money. To reduce the hassle, I handed over the matter to the board of directors before I left and convinced all the directors that I was just out and about and would be back soon. Yang Feng sighed and said, "Paper can't hold fire, it's nothing for months, years, or even decades, but after a hundred years, no one will believe that I will return to Earth." Besides, this business empire is so huge that it is almost equal to half of human civilization, and if it collapses because of the sudden disappearance of its founder, it will inevitably cause an unprecedented catastrophe. As a result, the board concealed the truth and claimed that we had encountered a stellar storm during interstellar travel. Soon after, the board of directors took over the entire business empire, mastering secrets that only I knew before, including advanced technology. ”

"And use it?"

Yang Feng nodded and said, "It's just that these guys still have a little conscience." Of course, it also has a lot to do with my strong appeal. ”

"This ......"

"The board of directors didn't let me out, but instead used my influence to build me into a super scientist for the benefit of the whole of humanity." Yang Feng smiled indifferently and said, "Ironically, I am not a scientist at all, at most I can be regarded as a professional explorer who struggled for lofty ideals when I was young. Strictly speaking, your father is a real scientist, and those advanced technologies are his discoveries. ”

"It's just that he always stands behind the stage and is not known to the outside world."

Yang Feng did not refute, but said: "At that time, what was lacking in the leap forward of human civilization was advanced technology, and the space jump technology used in the 'Pursuit' was the most important. In addition, human creativity and dedication should never be underestimated. After being inspired, it took less than a hundred years for human scientists to fully grasp the end of space jumping, and it has also been widely used. ”

"And thus flew out of the solar system?"

"It's just that it's not necessarily a good thing." Yang Feng paused for a moment before he said, "The second era of human civilization is not only a pioneering era built up by many heroic stories that can be sung and cried, but also a road of no return, and the moment you step out of the solar system, the future of human civilization is nailed. ”

"What do you mean?"

"A civilization that has been defeated in battle, even if it comes back from the dead, cannot lay a foundation that is sufficient to rebuild its glory in such a short period of time."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, waiting for Yang Feng to continue.

"Of course, the Second Age is the era of human civilization, an era in which history is written by humans. In about 5,000 years, humans not only broke out of the solar system, but also conquered the entire galaxy. At that time, all the intelligent civilizations in the galaxy, including the current seven top civilizations, were defeated by humans. It is a pity that the diversity of humanity has made the fundamental mistake of those rulers who were carried away by the victory and believed that human civilization would endure forever made a very low and stupid mistake. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Tolerating, accommodating, and acknowledging all defeated civilizations, and giving them a respite, laying the foundation for the catastrophe that followed."

"Bane?"

"The Second Age, which ended with the explosion and annihilation of the black hole in the center of the Milky Way, is known as the 'Apocalypse'. All civilizations in the galaxy, including human civilization, have lost their homes. It is precisely because of this that the Galactic Alliance came here and occupied the Southern Alpha System. ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned and said, "You mean, the 'World Destroying Disaster' is not a natural disaster, but a ......."

"That's right, the 'Annihilation Catastrophe' is the work of other civilizations, and the dominant ones are the seven top civilizations, and it is a war against human domination."

"But ......"

"It's just that, who can know, the root cause of this disaster is also our father and son."

"Old fellow, don't take all the blame on yourself."

"You think I'm guilty of myself?" Yang Feng glanced at Yang Yi and said, "I only learned about it after the fact, the 'Hope' is not just an unmanned spacecraft used to test space curvature thrusters. When I was building the Pursuit, I realized that your father had already prepared to put all the core technology we acquired on that ship on the Hope. Unlike the story I told, his purpose was not to preserve the core technology that would restore humanity's glory, but to prepare for his own future. To put it simply, he wasn't very sure about an expedition to the Alpha system, so he had made this arrangement just to be on the safe side. ”

"You're saying that the modification equipment on the 'Hope' was prepared for himself?"

Yang Feng nodded and said, "It's just that his research at that time was very incomplete and he didn't find the biggest treasure. When I say this, I'm actually 50 steps and 100 steps, because when I set off on the Pursuit, I didn't find any treasure hidden on that ship. ”

"What treasure?"

"Something that turns people into gods."

"What!?"

"A piece of the original energy crystallization that contains all the essence of the predecessor of the human race, that is, the super civilization. Because I don't know much about the original energy, your father and I both believe that the crystal is just an energy source used to power the ship, and it doesn't have much value except for danger. ”

"This ......"

"Of course, human scientists don't make the same mistakes. It can be said that human beings can conquer the entire galaxy in less than 5,000 years, and defeat all other civilizations, relying on that crystal, to be precise, the original energy converter developed from it. ”

"Hallows!?"

"The Hallows is only a part of the crystal."

At this moment, Yang Yi froze.

"Including the 'source of life' in you, it is all part of that crystal. At the beginning, the alien races led by the seven top civilizations dared to rebel because they knew this secret. Although the rebellion was not completely successful, and the galaxy was completely destroyed by the big bang of the central black hole, humanity also fell sharply. At that time, the seven civilizations that captured the crystallization of the original energy in the rebellion soared into the sky. ”

"Why didn't they wipe out humanity?"

"Surprised?" Yang Feng smiled faintly and said, "It's very simple, they are the indigenous civilizations of the galaxy, and they can only use the Origin Energy Crystal, but they can't fully master and control the Origin Energy Crystal, otherwise they won't divide the Origin Energy Crystal into seven pieces." Only human beings can master and control the Origin Crystal, and they have not completely eliminated the human race, but just want to use the human race, and use the hands of the human to obtain the way to master and control the Origin Energy Crystal. ”

Yang Yi was silent, even if his thoughts were wild, he couldn't have imagined that it would be like this.
