Chapter 19: The Heavy Truth
The projection was also completely turned off here, and Ruan Lin impatiently turned on his video equipment and looped the conversation over and over again.
Ruan Lin understood that it would be difficult to decipher what they were saying with this body alone, and that he had to transmit his consciousness back to the main carrier and use wit and his own computing power to decipher it backwards.
And before that, I need to go back to the corridor just now and record every specific text.
And you need to use those few monologues in your dreams to repeatedly deduce and derive specific words. And the pronunciation of those monologues has long been rotten by heart.
Ruan Lin closed his eyes and began to return to consciousness.
Ruan Lin hurriedly said: "Wit, I need you to cooperate with me to decipher the specific meaning of the dialogue in the video!" I have recorded the text of the extraterrestrial civilization and a monologue that I can understand. ”
"Okay, I'll use 80% of my computing power to decipher it with you." wit replied.
After 2 hours of deciphering, Ruan Lin got the specific meaning of the dialogue:
"That's it! Their psychic abilities were shut down, and their ingenuity was removed. They will return to the time when they have not yet evolved, but what we have taught them, I believe will one day be repeated. Alas..."
"That should be enough. The Zeroers won't care about them anymore, and there's only one last thing left for us to do..."
Through these two dialogues, Ruan Lin analyzes some information: this civilization has the technology to eliminate consciousness and knowledge of intelligent life, and can degenerate living things. And what is the Zeroer? Hostile forces of this civilization?
Ruan Lin couldn't help but panic, this bit of information couldn't understand the full intention of this civilization at all! Is the large instrument they are disassembling the de-consciousness instrument?
He decided to return to the room and continue gathering other available information. It's like a puzzle game.
Ruan Lin returned to this body. is the so-called indiscriminate punching to kill the master, he uses the most clumsy and straightforward method: press and step everywhere.
He was sure that this civilization was so obsessed with underground structures and intricate passages, then there must be a secret door in this room as well!
He was trampling around the wall, and suddenly a corridor appeared in front of Ruan Lin again.
The corridor was illuminated by blue lights, and Ruan Lin stepped in again. I can't help but complain in my heart again: how much this civilization likes underground structures and puzzle games!
Go to the deepest part and the room is so spacious! It's similar to a library on Earth, with small equipment stored everywhere, and it's like a massive repository.
In the center of it, there is a cloud-like holographic projection up to 8 meters wide, which is now showing the entire map of the solar system, and the earth is specially marked.
Ruan Lin walked to a storage place and picked up a few 'video recording devices', and with the previous experience of opening them, this time he was familiar with the road. He turned on his video recorder in advance.
The cloud-like hologram soon began to play the footage, still the two familiar aliens, who seemed to be arguing this time, but from their words, a few words kept appearing frequently.
Ruan Lin started the next projection, and it was still them communicating, but the words were still repeated.
He then picked up a video recorder again and began to play it.
This time, the scene changed dramatically, with several aliens observing the sun through the portholes of the ship, and one of them uttered a long sentence, followed by a sigh.
Ruan Lin couldn't wait to return to the main carrier again, and continued to decipher the sentences with WIT.
One of the most interesting things about the decipherment is that the word they repeatedly mention is 'Consciousness Erasure Scheme'. It seems to be the focus of research efforts here. Obviously, they've developed the technique of mind manipulation, but where exactly are they going to use it?
Earth?
Ruan Lin didn't dare to continue thinking about it, at this time he could no longer judge the good and evil of the civilization.
The translation of the last long sentence was quickly released:
"The ship has taken off, our final ruin plan has been completed, and the rest is up to them to discover. There is no time left to escape. The Creator Civilization still hasn't answered our pleas for help, and we don't have any chance of survival. Next, it's time to admire this star, which really looks like our father Robin..."
"Ugh..."
Ruan Lin perfected all the causes and consequences like building blocks, and his consciousness returned to his body, and he continued to play video one by one.
One passage that stood out to him was an alien monologue that seemed to be recording his last words, with an expression of sadness and helplessness.
Ruan Lin was already about to master their language system, and this sentence was quickly translated by himself:
“…… It should not be forgotten. Someone should leave a spark for them. I have been asking the Creator for help since yesterday, and they have not answered us as usual. Are we abandoned? Tomorrow I will begin my speech to the entire fleet. I have a plan, and I hope they carry on our last wishes! It's just a pity that we will never see that day again. ”
Ruan Lin deduced from this: he should be the leader of this civilized fleet, leaving the fire? Is it the so-called Relics Project? The monologue of this video is supposed to have taken place long before the previous one.
Ruan Lin continued to play the video, and the next scene made him dumbfounded, this was a war between interstellar civilizations!
The video camera is like a drone, directly above the fleet of civilizations.
From this point of view, the fleet of this civilization spanned almost thousands of kilometers! They are arranged in several layers, and the height is almost hundreds of kilometers! The tail of all ships emitted a dazzling white glow. And at the rear, it should be their flagship.
The whole of this flagship is wrapped in a silver-white shield, it is almost armed to the teeth, it is surrounded by the launch ports of some kind of weapon, and there are two main guns several kilometers long directly above this flagship, which makes Ruan Lin think of the Star Destroyer cannon that he imagined on Earth.
Almost at the same time, all the ships were at full speed, dragging a long white trail towards the front. Visually, all of their ships have almost exceeded 80% of the speed of light.
When the two fleets were millions of kilometers apart, the first wave of exchange of fire began, and the space was filled with long blue and red lines. Ruan Lin knew that this was the particle beam weapon conceived by human beings! It reached a speed of 500,000 km/s after launch! Beyond the speed of light!
Even when they were millions of kilometers apart, these countless beams of particles seemed to tear through the space and vent on each other's ships, and this first wave of firefighting seemed to be a temptation, causing only a small number of casualties on both ships. The destroyed ship doesn't explode and then glow with fire, as in a science fiction movie. They only produce a small fireball, but this fireball is not a burning fireball, but from a plasma that expands and cools rapidly from the material. The explosion flashes for only one frame, and then the area falls silent.
Engage in civilization warfare in space, and when you see lasers shooting at your ship, you're dead.
