fifty

[In the same year, catastrophe]

As soon as Peng Xiaoming arrived at the tarmac, he found that the tarmac had been crowded, and the flying car like a flying locust was whistling and fanning its propellers, and the sound seemed to be a roar of hatred for the nuclear bomb disaster. Many flying cars landed on the tarmac in an orderly manner, mingling with the many parked spaceships. People poured out of their flying cars. From a higher and farther distance, this scene looks like countless ants crawling out of their nests and running their separate ways. A few people walked to their own spaceship, and then left quickly and calmly; There are also the vast majority of people who directly flock to the spaceship leasing company, in order to rent the spaceship, and among this category of people, Peng Xiaoming and his party are included.

On the apron of the rented spacecraft, a staff member was about to start one of the spacecraft to escape, but was surrounded by a large crowd of people, demanding to unlock the anti-theft password lock of all the rented spacecraft, and the staff had no choice but to call up the company's information window, call up the control system of all the spacecraft with their own identity, and then click at a dizzying speed to open all the hatches of all the rented spacecraft.

The flow of people flocked to the crowded chartered spaceships, like hungry wolves seeing their prey, and in the crowd, many people stumbled and fell on the ground countless times. The sound was accompanied by the crowd, and a song of chaos was played. In the noise, from time to time, the tail of the first spacecraft lit up with blue light, took off into the air, and then left the space city like an arrow from the string, followed by the second and third ships......

In the flow of people, Peng Xiaoming and Li Bang reversed the decadent appearance of the old man before, and also began to run wildly, until in front of a spaceship with the hatch wide open, the two climbed into the spaceship, in a panic, one of Peng Xiaoming's shoes fell off, he subconsciously walked to the hatch and quickly picked it up.

At this moment, a faint sound wave came, accompanied by the vibration of the ground. He knew that the blastwave was coming. If the shock wave is compared to ripples on the surface of the water, the sound wave at this time is only the outermost ripple, and the immediate arrival will be a truly lethal shock wave, which is rushing at a speed of 340 meters per second.

Soon, Peng Xiaoming's spaceship engine started, and the spacecraft slowly rose, and the tail lit up with a faint blue light. Inside the engine, the innermost particles of the reactor began to be squeezed, and the atomic nuclei began to collide with each other, crack, and then resynthesized into a heavier nucleus, accompanied by the release of energy from the inside, and finally became the kinetic energy of the entire spacecraft.

When the ship flies away, the shockwave arrives.

Like a giant's hand, the shockwave easily overturned the ship that was still on the tarmac, and all objects were overturned by the powerful heat flow. However, it had no intention of stopping, and continued to unstoppably tear over all obstacles in its path. Those who had not yet taken off could only wail and cry in distress, and those who were still running towards their respective ships were thrown into the distance by a large hand behind them. Not far away, there was the sound of glass breaking, and the building in the distance tilted painfully, and after a while, it fell to the ground, and its whole body was shattered, and it was impossible to find a complete piece. Everything is like a playful child's destruction, and the space city as a whole is like a bear child's Lego toy.

In the sky, a mushroom seemed to rise from the ground and rise to the sky, and the air flow sweeping thousands of troops on the ground was her root; The updrafts from the explosion whipped up dust from the ground, which was her stem; The most eye-catching, the most outrageous refers to the umbrella top of the mushroom, the umbrella top is like a huge flying saucer, enveloping the whole city, and in an area under the umbrella roof, the extremely strong golden light shows her terror, the powerful terror that penetrates everything, the terror that can make people suffer from terminal illness, the terror that is the shadow of a person's life.

Here, the golden light no longer shows its splendor and sacredness, but shows the horror beyond human imagination, the intense terror, the horror that destroys the world and the earth.

Everywhere he went, corpses were everywhere. The downed trees are no longer as vibrant as they once were; The felled building is no longer as grand as it once was; A spaceship is just about to take off, but it's too late. Knocked down by a slap from a giant hand, the faint blue light emitted by the tail engine was extinguished, like a candle, it no longer had the previous "nine days to the moon" Pengcheng Wanli, nor did it have the instinct to explore the mysteries of the deep space of the universe "Straight to the clouds and sail the sea", and it is not impossible to compare "it" to human beings; The space city also has no splendor of human life in the past. And, of course, ......

Everything is destroyed.

……

I don't know how long it took.

When Peng Xiaoming looked back again, the space city had become a shining star, and when he looked at it again, he found that all the space stars where the space cities were located were bright, Peng Xiaoming couldn't believe it when he saw this scene-

All the space cities have been destroyed?

If that's the case, then it's a great sorrow, but what can you do? It's just sentimental what you can do.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Li Bang had been silent for a long time, and at this moment he squeezed out another sentence.

"They've all been hit." Peng Xiaoming said, "You see, they look so bright from so far away, it must be the light of the nuclear explosion that is so dazzling." ”

Li Bang watched silently, and each of the glowing dots represented the death of more than 100,000 people, the breakdown of hundreds of thousands of families, and the destruction of several cities.

"Where are we going?"

"Mars."

……

The Federal President sat in a fugitive helicopter, having left the city and crossed five hundred kilometers of red ore fields, and looked back, the mushroom cloud was already as small as a grain of rice, and it was necessary to look carefully to find it; Even cities that resemble circuit etching boards are small as thin pieces of paper.

The representative of the surrendering country, the mechanical girl, sat calmly in the other compartment, and it was so calm at all times. Because it is a robot after all, it has no emotions and just faithfully fulfills its mission. And its mission is written by thousands or tens of thousands of lines of symbols.

"Hello, this is a surrender contract, sign it." The government affairs officer holds a printed document in black on a white background in his left hand and an obsidian pen in his right hand and hands it to the mechanical girl.

Real pen and paper are rare in modern times, and have been largely replaced by electronic inputs. This time, however, physical paper and pen were used, as if to highlight the special nature of the signature. And there is also a detail, that is, the pen is made of obsidian, a special ore that can only be mined in the depths of the Martian strata, and it is very rare. It is only used when it is necessary to take advantage of its physical properties for scientific research, but even then, it is possible to avoid obsidian without obsidian.

The mechanical girl carefully took the pen and signed the name of the country she surrendered on her behalf.

Ink, however, is a common hematite liquid that dissolves it in water. So the signature was iron-red, the same color as the dust below a few thousand meters from underfoot. At a glance, the toner words printed out on one of the lines of the contract read: "Restore the civil rights of all surrenderers...... and the girl looked away, and these words were drowned in the sea of language symbols.

"Hmm." The president nodded solemnly.

"Oh, there's a problem, there's a problem, it's just my personal problem." The president withdrew from the solemn atmosphere, saying: "Who is the blow this time......"

"Them." The mechanical girl brushed her blonde hair. During this action, her brain has been rummaging through the sea of information, retrieving historical information, and when she is done, she answers: "It is the remnants of the predecessor of the 'negative civilization'." Well...... We surrendered because of their betrayal, which in turn was because of the obsessive high technology imported from outside. So, we have only one enemy, and they are the ones who started this attack. ”

"So, do they have more technology than we do now?"

"I don't know exactly what to do. In short, what you need to know is this: they must know more than we do. ”

"Can I ask any more questions?" The president said.

"Yes."

"So...... How did you introduce the alien technology you are talking about? I've been asking this question for a long time. The Federal President paused and asked.

"Initially, when we were still resisting human society, when we were still a 'negative civilization', at that time, in Pluto, there was a base, where we initially developed our strength, and after lurking for a while, there were visitors, at first we thought that the human world had found us, and then we learned that those 'people' needed some resources, but exchanged some of their technology. Only then did they know that they were not humans, but visitors from outside the sky.

So we agreed, of course, that technology didn't cause a scramble within our civilization. Since then, we have discovered an inexpensive and effortless weapon through our research, and you must know it by saying itβ€”the light particle. By accelerating the particles to the speed of light and then emitting them towards the star. At that time, we almost succeeded, but by coincidence, the book was not written, and eventually the particles of light hit a meteorite and deviated from its original trajectory.

"At that time, the launch site of the light particles was on Ceres. After the launch, he escaped, but did not return to Pluto, but directly occupied Mars, in fact, our strategists expected that you would get a Jupiter bunker plan, and then took the opportunity to occupy Mars, and finally was attracted by an undercover agent who surrendered to attract the Federation fleet, and I even know what the name of that undercover agent is - Liu Shaoming! It's been more than 20 years since that event! ”

"Oh, I see." An official next to him sighed, "Liu Shaoming, I also know that he worked in the Federal Assembly before, and now he doesn't know where he is hiding in the world." ”

The Cyborg continued, "When the fleet came, we were losing ground and then the leader of a space-time wormhole (called the "space-time cavity") appeared next to it, and so did we. Then space jumped to an alien civilization, the Cornerstone Empire. They claim to be about to be destroyed by an enemy army called 'Spectres', and then they have left the universe and left all their technology with us. What do you think, in fact, the aliens who were begging for resources on Pluto before are also them.

"Ever since all the extraterrestrial supertechnology was available, some people got up and started to take away scientific data, eventually leading to the story of the split of the 'negative civilization'. It is also the root cause of our surrender. The girl said, "Whewβ€”I'm done." ”

"Actually, you've already said some of them at the surrender meeting." The president said, "In the book that we're writing about, these things that you're talking about are mentioned in the previous chapters. ”

"Who told a writer called 'A Parallel Line' to write us down?" The girl said with a grin.

"yes, yes." The president chimed in.

The girl subconsciously looked out the window of the plane, the blue sunset produced by the scattering of Mars Mill was slowly setting, and at the same time it was being dragged by the crimson earth, like a huge palm, holding a blue billiard ball......
