Chapter 242: The Tombstone of Civilization (1/3)
"It's a synthetic sugar solution, high in calories, suitable for replenishing physical strength...... With a hint of psychedelics and sleep aids, it seems that these giant mushrooms are using these sugar solutions to attract other creatures to 'symbiotic' with them? ”
After the initial shock of the 'alien creatures' message, Ian quickly calmed down.
In the previous life, although intelligent alien beings have not yet been proven, the existence of simple alien life forms has been proven - the light-speed spaceship project he wanted to participate in back then was to carry out alien exploration activities for immigration and habitable planets.
However, unlike what many people imagine, this kind of alien frontier mission is basically not ridden by humans, and in the past it was all intelligent robots.
If you think about it carefully, you can know that the empty universe, the poor and white aliens, really want to spend decades of human elites to aliens dozens of light-years away to do the most basic coolie construction, even if the elites themselves agree, the government and scientific research departments will not let it - it will take several generations and more than ten generations to barely provide people with the construction of alien buildings, and the supporting industries and production buildings after that can basically only be controlled by AI.
What do you send elites to do when you have no technical content?
Anyway, after the construction of the hyperspace communication base station, the delay can be reduced to a few hours.
In this case, it is better to use robots at the beginning, and wait until the development is almost complete, and then let people pass.
Although it is still basically painful, at least you don't need to do coolies, and you can carry out some large-scale research operations to investigate the extraterrestrial life forms of some living planets.
Although the pre-era Terra civilization is not the same scientific research tree as the Earth civilization, technology is a tool to accomplish the goal, and since they have reached the point of space development, Ian believes that the other party will definitely try to obtain relevant extraterrestrial life information.
But to his surprise, the Terra people of the pre-era were not only prospecting, they even created the 'alien biosphere'!
After all, picking up an alien ecosystem for nothing is really enviable!
The reason why this underground ruins group is so large may be due to the needs of the relevant ecosystem? For example, this giant mushroom can only live underground or something......
And......
"According to the records in the silver chip, this metal-based large mushroom from the Obera Star Field was not actively explored by the Terra, but because of something codenamed 'Tinder', which is suspected to have been sent to Terra."
Savoring the metallic sweetness of the fluorescent mushroom in his mouth, Ian thought thoughtfully, "Tinder...... In the past, the earth also had a plan called Tinder, which was an insurance decision made by the federal council when the ecological balance was almost completely collapsed - if human beings could not repair the earth's ecology that collapsed after the war, they would launch several generation spacecraft carrying the earth's biological gene pool and history into the universe at the same time as immigrating to the space city, and travel at one-tenth of the speed of light towards several habitable planets to avoid the complete extinction of mankind. ”
"In other words, it's just a tombstone sent to the universe to commemorate the time that humans once existed."
"Although the follow-up ecology was successfully restored, the construction of the ecological space city was also successful, and the Tinder project was canceled, and it was even criticized by later scholars as a dangerous move to expose the gene pool and civilization of the earth's civilization to the possible alien civilization, but if it really encounters a big risk of extinction and even civilization annihilation...... Tinder is the only hope in despair. ”
- Did the possible civilization in the Obera Star Domain make such a choice?
And the fact that the Terra they chose actually has a primitive intelligent civilization is probably not as good as those aliens thought.
It didn't matter anymore, as Terra had also suffered a 'Fall from the Sky' that nearly wiped them out.
"Metal-based life."
Ian hears movement in the corner of the cave and looks up, and sees that sometimes the giant mushrooms go to the pool with their host to drink.
Those hosts include swamp crocodiles, steel-clawed mole rats, and there are also many giant beetles that resemble mantis crickets.
This made the young man realize in his heart again: "It seems that the Sequoia Base was originally the base for the study of the Xenobiosphere of Obera - this is why there are so many metal-based life around the Nanling South Sea!" ”
- Ironclad sharks, reef-eating sea otters, steel-clawed moles, fortified corals, sharp-clawed tigers, reclusive giant beetles, iron-boned swordfish, swamp crocodiles, and possibly crystallized dragons......
All the common magical beasts in Nanling have more or less some metal elements in them.
Even, the mine-hunting jellyfish, a species that has an extremely keen perception and control ability of magnetic fields, may also be formed because of the research here!
In addition, the body temperature of metal-based life is already very high, and even the temperature in the tropical South China Sea is no different from refreshing and pleasant for them...... The temperature is too low, and it will be like a cave here and now, and all the giant mushrooms and monsters are in a dormant state of lazy activity!
Extraterrestrial Creatures...... Well, it seems that the Terra civilization has obtained a large number of alien biological samples, which is why it has been able to develop so many prototypes of 'Warcraft'.
And......
"There's definitely more than one alien biome."
Thinking with certainty in his heart, Ian recalled the strange and even some of the magical beasts on the Terra continent that did not look like natural evolution at all, or that it was difficult to find the basic original body even if it was modified: "Metal-based creatures may have originated from the ecosystem of the Obera Star Field, but what about the others?" With so many types of Demonic Beasts, it is absolutely impossible for them to be bred only by the Terra and Obera ecosystems. ”
"And the ecosystem in the labyrinth, which is very different from the normal Terra, may ...... Also a category of the xenobiosphere? ”
"Perhaps, in every labyrinth, there is more or less 'ecology different from Terra', which is why the labyrinth species will be born?"
It was just speculation, but the boy believed it was most likely true.
In addition to this, Ian is sure of one thing.
"It's no wonder that before the Heavenly Fall disaster, the sublimation skills of the Terra Continent were not strong, or even perfect at all - there were many alien creatures, and the alien modified creatures gathered on Terra, which led to the explosive development of the sublimation skills based on the 'replica of the power of Warcraft'!"
"At that time, the sublimation skills were probably just the same as fitness techniques, and only a few people relied purely on water grinding and the high physical fitness brought about by genetic modification to promote, not as 'obvious learning' as now."
So, here's the problem.
- Is the disaster of the fall from the sky a natural disaster or a man-made blow?
INTERVIEWER Does this blow have anything to do with the plan that led to the intelligent creatures in the Obera ecosystem choosing to use the spark to carry the biosphere?
Ian stroked the giant golden mushroom in front of him, his eyes drooping, and he muttered in a low voice, "New moon ......"
The shattered moon...... Once called 'Lookout', now it's a shattered crescent......
There, there must have been many lunar space bases where the Terra civilization observed the starry sky.
So......
- Who shattered the eyes of the Terrans who used to look at the stars?
"There must be a great catastrophe behind the vanishing starry sky in the outer universe."
At this moment, the boy felt as if he had discovered a part of the truth hidden in the Terra continent: "It was that disaster that caused the catastrophe of the fall from the sky, and it was also the reason why the Obera civilization could only use fire to transport information about the ecosystem!" ”
"In the Sequoia base, there must be relevant information and data retained!"
Raising his head, at this moment, Ian is more excited and determined than ever.
He looked around the entire cold cavern occupied by giant golden mushrooms, looked around at this 'small xenobiosphere', and made up his mind: "No matter what, you have to get the information in this base - even if you use the power of the Sand Armor Apprentice!" ”
No one can stop the Flame Lands' secret service team, Patrick, parasites and aliens!
He must obtain the truth about the Obera ecosystem and the so-called 'Tinder' in this base!
"Ahem!"
Just then, Ian heard a cough behind him.
It was Master Gosai who woke up.
