thirty-one
[21 years of the Age of Crisis, five months after the Battle of Jupiter, special inquiry]
Through the investigation of some clues, people know that the "Earth Rebels" are not ordinary underworlds, but a group of civilizations formed independently. It has its own rule, its own industry, and even its own army. It seems that a doomsday war is inevitable.
It is inconceivable that the war between two civilizations should be condensed into a single star system. Some previous Star Wars movies were based on the stars, or even the Milky Way, and even the entire universe was a battlefield. It may be that a civilization can be two-dimensional with a wave of the hand, or like Thanos in "The Avengers", with a flick of the fingers...... But this time, it's really a solar system version of the interstellar wars! With only thirty astronomical units, there are two groups of civilizations of equal strength, and it is a guerrilla war. The enemy could be as far away as Pluto, as close as Phobos, or even as far away as Mars!
Just over five months after the Battle of Jupiter, and at the beginning of the twenty-first year of the Crisis Era, a local battle took place in the asteroid belt, called the "Battle of the Asteroid Belt". This time, the Solar System Fleet just left Jupiter and entered the asteroid belt to patrol. The main force of the fleet was left on Jupiter as a guard, the main force patrolled in the orbit of Jupiter, and the other part of the main force of the spacecraft rushed to Mars at the starry night and stationed at the space transit station. However, this patrol division happened to be attacked, and the attacking party was "negative civilization". According to only one captive, they had gone to collect resources on other dwarf planets, but by accident they ran into a fleet member who was patrolling the asteroid belt.
"Go on, and then, how many people are left in the fleet?" Guo Changtian saw the gray-faced soldier of the partial division, and said sharply that he was not angry because of the failure of this operation. He is the company commander who won the meritorious service in the last Battle of Jupiter, but he is in the main fleet and did not participate in the "Asteroid Belt Campaign", so he has nothing to do.
"Then, almost all of them were annihilated...... Only ......" warrior had a disheveled military uniform and a lot of ash on his face, which was wiped from the walls of the ship, apparently his ship had undergone a violent impact. His vision dimmed.
"Only what?"
"Only two survived, and one prisoner." "The captive is badly wounded, and although he can speak, he is incapacitated. Most of the interrogations about them he 'answered'. ”
"It's useless to interrogate."
"It's true! We anesthetized his consciousness with anesthetics and asked him questions directly. ”
"Are you sure there were no mistakes?"
"No, we have asked him a few tentative questions, such as his wife and daughter, and after comparing the data, we have answered them correctly. And without thinking, this shows that its consciousness level has been anesthetized. The soldier said casually, and by the time he said this, the ward had already begun to "ask questions." And there is a computer to record it. "I always think, isn't that a little cruel? It is not in line with the values of humanity now. Guo Changtian said thoughtfully.
"Nope. The whole time, he was in a coma and did not feel a single pain. So it's not cruel. ”
The human consciousness level only plays the role of storage, refinement, discrimination, etc., once the thinking at the consciousness level is avoided, the brain can give direct feedback "without thinking". However, once he wakes up at the level of consciousness, then he may not be telling the truth afterwards. As the saying goes: "Drunk and spit out the truth." In this sentence, the "wine" inside anesthetizes the level of consciousness.
Guo Changtian followed the soldier all the way to the infirmary, where the patient was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes closed, and his body did not move. As everyone knows, his brain is processing massive amounts of information batch by batch and answering them one by one, and his neurons are constantly transmitting chemical signals.
"I want to ask, he is all anesthetized, how can he answer the question?"
"Hehe, it's not a verbal answer, it's the brain's thinking activity. We know the answer to his answer by recording the activity of the mind. When a person is active in thinking, he will generate brain waves, and we input electrical signals in our brains, and the brain waves that are fed back are his answers. The soldier pointed to a piece of iron foil on the captive's head, which was connected to the electrical circuit and extended into the computer next to it, "For this purpose, we have specially created a computer program, and look, the staff is typing questions from the input box." "Guo Changtian has seen something that he has not even seen for a long time - wires. This thing only existed a hundred years ago.
"Why is there a line?"
"The wires, the tubes inside are used to transmit the charge."
"Hmm...... Wouldn't it be better to form a power supply field with a magnetic resonance coil? ”
Otherwise, the direct communication technology of this idea is not mature, so in order to reduce the workload, the long-lost wire is used. This greatly reduces the workload. The success coefficient also becomes higher. "The soldier seems to be no longer a soldier holding a joystick and controlling the two sides of the spacecraft to charge, but a scientist who is struggling to write and replace calculations on the holographic writing screen.
In the captive's confession, a lot of facts were learned, and the captive's mind said about the fiasco of the Battle of Jupiter, and then returned to the base of the asteroid belt. In the past, it was also said that the weapons used to attack the hotel were electromagnetic pulse nuclear bombs and infrasonic hydrogen bombs. The main weapons of the fleet are ion cannons, high-energy particle beam weapons, and electromagnetically driven machine guns, all of which are technologies learned from humans. The captives also said that they had developed an antimatter bomb and explained its principle. Relies on the energy released by the annihilation of positive and antimatter to create the effect of an explosion.
“…… If...... Use this attack ...... Banishing the Grim Reaper...... Then victory is in sight. ”
In a vague form of thought, one noticed a word: banishment of death. There is such a word in many mental graphics. This is a metaphor for humanity, their negative social lingua nomina.
However, the last words spoken by the captives terrified the whole people.
During the conversation, the interrogator asked: What other plans do you have?
[Stellar Project. Sooner or later, the sun that banishes the Grim Reaper will set. 】
Why?
[Do you know Hou Yi shooting the sun? 】
This sentence is terrifying, not the sentence itself, but the deep meaning behind it. The conversation continues:
Know.
[In the dominant particle accelerator, a proton is accelerated to the speed of light, and then uses the relativistic effect to hit the sun, knocking the troposphere away.] The energy inside then spills out at the speed of light, and the shock wave causes Mercury to slow down and orbit, and then fall into the Sun by the Sun's gravity. At this point, Mercury knocks the Sun out of a larger gap, and so on. 】
The captive's expression is completely stylized, without the slightest question or rhetorical question, and without guardingness. This is the embodiment of direct thinking.
【…… Then at a certain time, the atmosphere of Mars will be evaporated by high-energy particles, so that ......]
Before the captives could finish, the interrogator, at the doctor's suggestion, closed the conversation and any channels that accepted the thought form. Because the doctor said that the anesthetic was almost ineffective, and the captives were gradually waking up. The line chart above the information window next to the bed began to fluctuate violently, this line is the degree of the patient's coma, and after only a turn on the chart, it fell directly down to the bottom.
When the line fell to the bottom, the captive lying on the hospital bed opened his eyes. Completely unaware, he subconsciously said, "Huh? This is...... Where? ”
