Chapter 56: Faith and Reality

“…… As a cult, the cult of true God has penetrated into all corners of the earth, and this idea of denying the spirit of evolution and simply believing that mankind should solve the problem of a 'higher civilization' that does not exist at all is undoubtedly a degenerate idea that will eventually ruin the future of mankind......

"Okay, okay, I know...... Can you look at the face of me as the boss...... Leave me alone? ”

Ling Yu touched the scar on his chest that was sprayed with hemostatic spray by Jiesi, and with a helpless smile, he found the dagger from the dust that the monster had been cremated, unexpectedly, the handle was intact, it seemed that not only the blade, but also the handle was designed to withstand high temperatures.

"Alas...... I really can't help you. Jesse also wore the same helpless expression, and raised her hand to remove her helmet, revealing her blonde hair that had been coiled up.

"150,000 years later, there will still be living creatures on this ship."

Ling Yu turned his head, shook the dagger, dissipated the residual heat on it, and then turned his hand into the scabbard on his back, took out the mystery pistol, broke the barrel down, ejected the still smoking fusion battery, and took out a new one from the pocket behind his waist and put it in.

"It's not good news, but it's expected." Jess turned around while combing her messy bangs, walked towards the lower body of the wolf dog monster that had not yet been cremated, squatted down and began to examine the remaining corpses, "Such a large spaceship, there must be an ecological zone, and the ecological zone evolved its own ecosystem and biological chain after the spaceship was abandoned, although the probability is not large, but it is not completely impossible." ”

"Then it looks like we'll have to be more careful in our exploration." Ling Yu walked up to Jiesi and put his hand on her shoulder, "How is it, how is the result." ”

"It's a creature I've never seen before, and genetically speaking, it may be related to Archaeopteryx, but it's been 150,000 years since it evolved on this ship."

"The weapons are teeth, claws, and blades on the back, and the attack style is similar to that of canines, but it can judge threats, have basic tactical intelligence, and have granite-level armor on the front." Ling Yu shook his hand and looked at the wrist of his right hand that had been carefully coated with antibiotics and then wrapped by Jiesi, "It's not clear if it's poisonous, but even if it is, it won't have an effect on TF." ”

"By the way, one more point," Jess also stretched out her hand, ignoring the black and red blood flowing on the ground, turned the monster's body over, and pointed to a mark on the other party's thigh, "This guy is injured, right here in the leg." ”

"Are you trying to say that it's actually prey?" Ling Yu squatted down and looked in the direction of Jiesi's finger, "That means that the cover-up traces you found before were used to cover up your own traces?" ”

"Quite possibly, because this area was just energized by us, and it doesn't look like there is a lot of animal activity from the traces," Jess frowned, "By the way, one more thing to note, this canine is very likely to live in groups. ”

"Then it seems that we are quite lucky," Ling Yu stood up, "If we face a dozen of these guys the first time, it will probably be very troublesome." ”

"Hmm...... In short, the value of the study is not much, I can just take some samples. ”

Jessy's right hand was rummaging for something in the entrails of the monster that had been split in half, and the viscous red-black blood and colorful liquids that didn't know what were stained on the arm of Jessy's protective suit, Ling Yu frowned.

"Aren't you used to it, boss," Jesse smiled playfully, "I've seen my own liver, so I told you." ”

"I'm just worried that there will be some unknown germs," Ling Yu shook his head slightly, "Sometimes I really feel that mechanical TF is inhumane. You are such a beautiful little girl, and you are also thanks to those who transform it. ”

"I'll take this sentence as a compliment." Jesse turned her head, stuck out her tongue, then stood up, crossed her hands, took off her gloves that had been stained with body fluids, and threw them on the ground, then took out a spare pair of gloves from behind her and put them on her hands, "Probably...... Because we are weapons, weapons don't matter about humanity. ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yu lowered his head, realizing that he seemed to have said something inappropriate, raised his hand and patted Jiesi gently, was silent for a moment, took out the glass-like card on his waist, and changed the topic.

"Well, is the card what we need?"

"Judging by the information, at least this should be a working piece of record with DNA information." Jiesi took the card handed over by Ling Yu - it was a card, but it was actually a square of three by three centimeters, "I have seen this organic material in the literature of the Ark, it is this thing that is true, but whether it can work properly depends on our luck." ”

"I have a question." Ling Yu hesitated for a moment, "If there is DNA information in this, then wouldn't you be able to replicate a prehistoric human?" ”

"Poof, do you think the Knights are really omnipotent?" Jiesi sneered and handed the card back to Ling Yu, "First of all, not to mention whether we have the ability to restore the anti-heaven ability of chromosomes based on information alone, it is generally impossible for this to contain the information of the complete 23 pairs of chromosomes." ”

"Hmm...... Can't do it? "Ling Yu is not very good at science, "I thought you could copy a prehistoric person and come out to slice and study." ”

"It's completely impossible, just knowing the information, and being able to make the corresponding things according to the information, is a world of different abilities, if we can do that, I'm afraid we don't need any gods, we ourselves are gods."

Jeunse said, giving Ling Yu a meaningful look, but Ling Yu couldn't quite understand the meaning behind this look.

"In any case, in this case, we should be able to open the way to the sixth bridge."

After being silent for a while, Jess handed the card back to Ling Yu and nodded, Ling Yu wanted to say something, but Jess had already turned around and walked in the direction of the tram.

****

"I said, I don't think we're going to go home empty-handed again this time."

The silence lasted for a while, so much so that this silence made Ling Yu feel uncomfortable, and finally, the young man took the initiative to ask a question on the half-section of the hovering train to the sixth bridge.

The two of them returned to Avina the same way they came, and then used their genetic cards to activate the hovering train to the Sixth Bridge, but when the train entered the station, they were surprised to find that the hovering train to the Sixth Bridge was only half of the way - the tail of the train had been reduced to ashes as if it had eaten a large-caliber cannonball, and the twisted metal at the fractures and the blackened lining were as jagged as dog's teeth.

"Huh? Ah, not really. Jeunsy turned her head and looked away from the broken spot, Jeunse's reaction reassured Ling Yu a little - she wasn't angry or upset, the suffocating silence was just thinking about something.

"There probably won't be anything useful in the sixth bridge, I guess," Ling Yu shook his head, revealing a helpless and tangled smile, "Of course, it's just intuition. ”

"Actually, the sixth bridge is not the purpose, the purpose is the infirmary."

Jess thought for a few more seconds before speaking, "If we find the infirmary, and the boss gives you enough access to it...... There could be a sea change. ”

"I thought it was in the future?" Ling Yu was stunned for a moment by Jiesi's statement, "Can we find it now?" ”

"At least the Sixth Bridge can give us a map of the medical area, that's important," Jessy nodded, "and there may be weapons depots and divisions like automated defense systems, which are potential resources, but when the ship is abandoned, these areas must have been cleared and sealed, so don't expect too much." ”

"The ship was abandoned?" Ling Yu raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?" ”

"Actually, from the first time I saw this ship, I thought so, and it is very likely that the Ark, that is, the 'Holy Land' of the Knights, is part of this ship." Jiesi looked at Ling Yu's eyes, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and paused a little from time to time as she thought, "This ship came to the solar system 150,000 years ago, and the purpose is still uncertain for the time being, it may be an interstellar war, or scientific exploration, or just a blind and wrong jump...... In short, after they came to the solar system, the ship had a serious problem, so much so that they had to abandon this main cabin area and use the 'Ark' to parachute to Earth. ”

"Wait, you're saying these people aren't prehistoric humans?!" Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized a question, "Are these people aliens?" ”

"It's hard to define," Jess shook her head, "no one can prove that this process is reversed, that is, prehistoric civilizations were born from Earth, then expanded outward, and returned to the home planet, of course, there are many problems that are difficult to explain from this perspective; But on the other hand, even if these people come from outside the earth, they do inhabit the earth, and they have extremely high technology and interfered with human evolution before the beginning of human history, so from this point of view, there is nothing wrong with calling it a prehistoric civilization, and it is more customary. ”

"Is the name just decoration?" Ling Yu smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, for the sake of convenience, then continue to call them prehistoric civilizations." ”

"However, in fact, there have been similar arguments within the Order for a long time, because the current remains of prehistoric civilization are only the Ark, and as for the miracles of ancient civilizations such as the pyramids, to be honest, even the Knights themselves do not believe that they are related to prehistoric civilization," Jess continued, but frowned, "But from another point of view, now that the religious part has become an important spiritual pillar of the Knights, anything that may question this, even if it is fact, cannot be freely disclosed, let alone before seeing this ship." , a qiē are just assumptions. ”

"Actually, I've wanted to ask this question for a long time, although it's not polite, but how did the Knights unite religion and science? Scientology? A variant of the 152 Cult of God? Ling Yu asked, as if to keep the atmosphere from being too strict, and brought a cold joke.

"In fact, the Knights were just a scientific organization at the beginning, and the predecessor of the Knights was the Icelandic Front, an alliance in the Winter Arctic War, and some scientists who opposed the alliance's high-pressure control of black technology." Jeunsy began her popular science class, "Although there is an ark, Iceland still lacks strategic depth, so we began the plan to annex the three Nordic countries, but when we took the three Nordic countries, we found that we lacked enough political experience - it is easy to take, but difficult to manage, soldiers and scientists are not politicians, and military control cannot be carried out indefinitely. ”

"So you founded a religion?"

"To be precise, the true god religion originated in the Balkans, of course, no one of the knights will admit this, with the germination of the second Renaissance and those godly 'leaks' and 'revelations', under the hype of the media, more and more people began to believe in the strength of prehistoric civilization and use it as a spiritual support, in order to quickly obtain public opinion in our favor in the world, Chief Marven proposed a plan to use religion."

"Marven," Ling Yu frowned, remembering the stinky face that seemed to owe him millions of generic coins to everyone, "So the Knights themselves don't believe in the True God Cult?" ”

"......No," Jesse shook her head, "the truth is that most of the middle and lower rank officers, especially within the cavalry and combat infantry, believe in the cult of the true god, and most of them use it as a reason to fight - we are the messengers of the gods, and we want to protect humanity in the place of the gods. ”

"Hmm...... At least it sounds better than 'burn the infidels', the term 'protect'. Ling Yu pursed his lips, obviously not very interested in this statement.
