Chapter Seventy-Four: The Last Mission
As the Titan climbed in height, Ruan Lin looked to the surface: "WIT, the whole fleet is heading to Gliese 581D, and we need to do a refueling." ”
The members of the Wanderer civilization on the surface still stared blankly at the climbing Titan, knowing full well that their branch had been condemned to death.
Ruan Lin had already given up on this star system, and even if there were members of the Yuanguang civilization who were still alive, they would not be able to get any valuable information.
If what One said is true, Ruan Lin does not sympathize with the Yuanguang civilization, this is the principle of the jungle, in the dark environment of the entire galaxy, any cruel civilization war has an excellent excuse, or rather, the simplest reason.
It's like a science fiction movie on Earth, what do most aliens do when they arrive on Earth? They don't even bother to talk to humans.
Today, the only thing of value in the entire galaxy is the ocean of Gliese 581d, which is the source of fuel.
Unlike the last hurried approach, Ruan Lin was going to arrive at the surface of the planet in person this time, and he wanted to take one last look at the dilapidated surface buildings.
As the Titan gradually slows down, the city complex becomes visible to the naked eye.
Ruan Lin was also a little puzzled: the temperature of the planet was almost the same as the lowest temperature in Earth's nature, -90.1 degrees Celsius.
Below is a coastal city in Gliese 581d, where very few buildings are intact and most of them have been reduced to rubble.
But one of the landmarks stands out, and it hasn't been completely destroyed:
It is a 200-metre-high "frozen statue" that stands alone on top of the ice. The whole body is only mutilated limbs, the part above the neck has been completely destroyed, the overall appearance is badly faded, only a layer of frost is left to cover it, and the original appearance can no longer be restored.
The statue's "left claw" is lifted upwards and, with one of its six claws, points to the iron ball above the fingertips.
This iron ball has also been carved to life, and it is simply a miniature version of the Gliese 581D.
Ruan Lin said with great gravity: "This statue should be erected to commemorate their move into their new home, which is like the Statue of Liberty on earth. ”
Turning his gaze, he saw a ruin below.
The so-called ruins, one is the traces of time, the other is the scene after the war, it is inevitable and accidental. In short, it's just traces of the past.
The glow of Gliese 581 was still shining on the planet, and the temperature didn't seem to be very warm at this time.
This is the most desperate and painful stellar light that Ruan Lin has ever seen, the dim light of Gliese 581 pierces part of the clouds and shines directly on the "frozen statue", which is not the "miserable beauty" as the literary work says, this is a real scene of destruction, and the first light is greeted at the severed head of this statue.
Then the light took pictures of the wreckage of the building, broken windows, unmanned vehicles, and a planetary doll left on the road.
Ruan Lin knew that there must still be members of the Yuanguang Civilization in ruins, who were silently watching the Titan.
Ruan Lin also had some doubts about this planet: this planet is not protected by a thermal dome like the Gliese 581g, the surface temperature of this planet is very low, and the high-beam civilization has carried out climate modification on this planet? This must not have been the case before, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the buildings on the surface and the well-built roads.
Retracting his gaze, Ruan Lin shook his head tiredly: "Wit, let's start laying the refining base, let the small ships reach the surface, and we will leave after the fuel is replenished." ”
Encounters from the High Light Civilization; In the war with the Wanderer Civilization, Nguyen Lam realized the most important thing: to hide himself.
He sighed: "Wit, for a stellar system screening, we need to arrive at a star system with a high abundance of resources after leaving Gliese 581, and we need to settle down for a while."
Even if we have a large fleet, we will still collapse at the touch of a button when facing the threat of a higher civilization. ”
WIT replied, "Okay, Dr. Nguyen. On the way to refuel, I would choose the best and closest star system. ”
"Let's go, let's go find the traces of the members of the Far Light Civilization, this is our last mission in this star system." Ruan Lin fell directly on the seat.
The Titan began to fly close to the troposphere, maintaining a speed of 5 km/s.
Ruan Lin was amazed: "If human beings had started interstellar migration earlier, this would be a paradise for human beings!" It's made for humans! ”
With an oxygen content of 21.6% and almost no toxic gases in the air, Glazer 581D can take off their heavy spacesuits and take a big breath of the air if they move here.
It's just a pity that the temperature here is too low.
From this point of view, the Yuanguang civilization has mastered the climate modification technology, which may also be their main technology.
They have a 26% coverage of surface buildings, and most of their land area is planted with some kind of towering plant, which is probably their food crop.
WIT suddenly prompted, "Dr. Nguyen, a thermal anomaly has been detected below the surface in this area. ”
The image of the central screen frozes on a surface.
Ruan Lin immediately ordered: "The Titan is ready to land here. ”
"The data shows that the source of the thermal anomaly is 150 meters below this location," WIT added. ”
Ruan Lin said slowly: "Wit, this reminds me of an old movie, what is that movie called?" I also forgot, the plot is also that the earthlings were attacked by aliens, and someone lived underground in advance. ”
WIT immediately replied: "According to the database query, the movie you are talking about may be "10 Clovers Road". ”
Ruan Lin also laughed and said: "Hahaha, I estimate that this member of the Yuanguang civilization is the same as the actor in that movie, and he has already built underground facilities. ”
Nguyen Lin didn't feel any discomfort with his teasing speech.
At the same time, a small telescope observed Titan.
An intelligent creature stuck in front of the camera: "Kan, come and see!" This ship is not the so-called Wanderer civilization, this is the ship of another civilization! ”
