Chapter 83: Contradictions and Conflicts
"Yu Lin, according to our observations here, the gas concentration in the Holy Landing Zone has completely decreased, and the spaceship has also disintegrated under the nuclear bomb. But there was also a triangular pyramid-like spaceship that stayed in the air. Gao Ziyi said, "But other than that, we don't know whose spaceship it is, but it looks very similar to the escape pod of another civilization before." ”
"Maybe it's Bing Shijue." Yu Lin's voice was full of tiredness, "Because I think you've also noticed that your biotechnology can't be fully utilized, and the weapon I originally intended to be a killer weapon won't come in handy. Only some old-fashioned weapons can be found. ”
"Yes...... Thankfully, our spacecraft can support conventional power drives, as well as solar power. Gao Ziyi looked at the wall as if it was about to melt and sighed, "Then the question arises, since the aliens are dead, or there is no turnaround, why do they still want to snatch the rocket?" ”
"Because of alien technology." Zhou Xiu's voice came from the screen, "Gao Ziyi, you know that you can sail in the universe, and the science and technology that came to our earth are very advanced, this is no problem." ”
"I can understand." Gao Ziyi nodded, looking at the endless sea in front of him, "I also know that the level of technology that they can come to the earth is very advanced. But I also know that they seem to be from ...... More than 6,000 light years away, that's where our recorded history began. Their technology is advanced, but it will take more than 6,000 years to send new ships. ”
"Gao Ziyi, the development and progress of science and technology are far beyond your imagination." Yu Lin sighed, "The history of mankind for hundreds of years is like this, before the invention of the train, people may have lived in the deep mountains and old forests for the rest of their lives. To live in one place is to die in one place. But what about trains, which take a person to another place, what about high-speed rail, what about airplanes? The whole earth can be reached in only twelve hours. ”
"It's true that it will take more than 6,000 years for them to arrive this time, but they have also passed 6,000 years, how fast has their technology developed in these 6,000 years? Is it to shorten this time by dozens of times, hundreds of times? So how much time is left on our planet? Yu Lin said, his tone full of bitterness, "I'm not a specialized expert, but I can probably guess that a civilization that can persist in sailing for such a long voyage has not had much time left for humans after this period of development." ”
"That's why those people are really cowardly when they want to escape." Zhou Xiu sneered disdainfully, "What's the use of escaping, what's the use of establishing a base on the moon, isn't it the kind of self-cutting off an arm and waging your tail to beg for mercy." Even if the other party comes over in a few hundred years, then we will develop well, and it is a big deal to die together, what are we afraid of. ”
"And now Bing Shi Jue...... Solved that alien. There are still two remnants of civilizations on our planet, and we still have the ability to give us enough time, and we can quickly absorb their knowledge systems and strengthen ourselves. Zhou Xiu said, "And flee to the moon?" What kind of development can be achieved in such a small place? ”
"Hmm...... But I think even the politicians and scientists who have made deals with extraterrestrials have thought about it. Yu Lin's voice paused for a moment, "Is there such a possibility, the other party's technology far surpasses ours, to the extent that they have to choose to retreat and choose to sacrifice the earth." ”
"What do you mean?" Gao Ziyi asked.
"Do you two know the basic civilization level?"
"I don't know."
"I don't understand."
Gao Ziyi and Zhou Xiu said.
"In 1964, Nikolai Kardashev mentioned that there is a way to measure the hierarchy of civilization." Yu Lin said fluently, "This way of measuring is the utilization rate of energy. ”
"A first-level civilization is probably able to fully utilize the energy of its home planet, water, wind, electricity, geothermal, nuclear energy, and so on." Yu Lin said, "For example, once we master nuclear fusion, we humans basically have a steady stream of energy, and there is less radiation, less pollution to the environment, the earth can go anywhere for us, people no longer have to worry about energy, we can go out of the earth freely." ”
"This is a level 1 civilization, and it is a bottleneck that is difficult to reach in our human imagination." Yu Lin said, looking at the two people who were constantly thinking on the screen, "Nuclear fusion, human factories can be open forever, human beings can build buildings 10,000 meters high, underwater, in the air, and even ten kilometers deep underground, they can build buildings that are like spring all year round and have a relaxed life." ”
"Our deserts will disappear, and there will be no hunger in this world, no gap between rich and poor. A farmland the size of a city along the river can feed a population of 100 billion, 100 billion! ”
"Material abundance will be so abundant that even the most greedy man will not be able to enjoy it."
"However, this is a level 1 civilization, and we can't imagine these and many more." In Yu Lin's narration, the words that should have been enthusiastic made Gao Ziyi and Zhou Xiu feel chills down their spines, "Second-level civilization, the entire solar system can be mined. That's the limit of our imagination, think about it, a sun is controlled by them, five billion years! ”
"So...... What about civilizations that can navigate the universe, civilizations that can control even one thousandth of a galaxy? Yu Lin said, looking at the two who were silent, "It's as if we are now the masters of the earth, and in a place we don't know, one bacterium kills another bacterium. ”
"And if we want to kill the bacteria over there, we can do it with a touch of our fingers. Not even the army, not an adult, just a child's finger. ”
"I think the gap between us and this civilization should be like this." Yu Lin said, "Don't look at the fact that we can use their weapons, we can use their ships, but this kind of use, is every detail and every part under our control?" Or do we get a gun like a monkey and find that when we press the trigger, we fire it? ”
"Based on this assumption, I would think that the fugitives are fleeing to the future, and they intend to build a fusion base on the moon, at least for a while, and abandon the Earth for a while." Yu Lin said.
"Professor Yu, hearing you say this, you also want to betray the human race, just like the city betrayed Bing Shijue back then, right?" Gao Ziyi was silent for a long time before asking.
"No...... I was just able to understand what those people were thinking, and I couldn't accept their actions. Yu Lin's smile was very faint, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have traveled to these places with you." ”
"Fuck, according to what Professor Yu said, we're not dead." After a moment of silence, he scolded directly.
"Yes, but in my opinion, even if they are cowered on the moon and sell all the earthlings in exchange for a small number of people, are they really still earthlings?" Yu Lin stood on a spaceship in the picnic area at this time, looking at the sea that was gradually becoming blue under his feet, "After going to the moon, there is a high probability that the earth will be directly solved by aliens, or used as some kind of fuel to be put into their furnace. In this case, who can guarantee that the moon will be fine? ”
"Even if the moon will be fine, then these people on the moon will watch their compatriots on Earth die?" Yu Lin smiled bitterly, "In the past, in the city, we still had reason to comfort ourselves. To drive out those of you who are capable of it is to protect more people, because you will be infected, and you will live better in the picnic area. ”
"Some of you will get the disease, but by and large, you will survive and even have better technology. We can still comfort ourselves in this way, to hypnotize ourselves, to numb ourselves. ”
"But if I go any further, I can't face my true heart." Yu Lin took off his glasses and rubbed the slight turbidity and wetness on them, "Take another 10,000 steps back and think about it, we earthlings have risen from the moon, and we will kill them back." Then what should I do if I encounter such a situation in the future, continue to sell my own people and seek to make a living? ”
"If this continues, what will become of us?"
"So, instead of surviving like this, I'd rather die with this world, we have at least resisted, struggled, we are facing those threats with dignity, we stand by ordinary people, we have a clear conscience."
"We already know that the universe is not alone, and I hope that when those aliens destroy us in the universe, even if they are disdainful, even if they are relaxed, they will maintain a respect. And not with contempt. ”
“…… Professor Yu Lin, the rocket launch station on the island is about to arrive. Zheng Kai reminded in a low voice, he glanced at Sun Shifang, who was wearing equipment in the back, as well as Luo Yiran and Bi Min before.
"Our ship here is ready to land." Yu Lin said, "Waiting for your actions." ”
"Okay, we have some internal matters to discuss here." Zhou Xiu said, waiting for Gao Ziyi to close the communication with Yu Lin.
"Zhou Xiu, do you have anything to tell me?" Gao Ziyi looked at a spaceship suspended in the air in the distance and asked.
"Yes, the personnel you sent out before, where is it at this time?" Zhou Xiu said, "When I was still in the Holy Landing District before, I knew that you had sent a force and blended in with those exiles. The purpose is to infiltrate the city and understand the situation. At the same time, pretend to start a war with our Holy Landing Zone, take the opportunity to adjust your forces, and be able to explore the interior of the Holy Landing Zone. ”
"That's right." Gao Ziyi nodded.
"But now, the interior of the Holy Presence Zone has been solved by Bing Shijue, and his life and death are uncertain now, and our main purpose now is to deal with those people at the launch station, because they want to flee and abandon us completely." Zhou Xiu said, "Then your men should also be lurking over there, and when we attack, we should be able to respond to all calls, right?" ”
“…… No, it's a week's rest. Gao Ziyi regained her original cold look, "And what I just heard from Professor Yu Lin strengthened my thoughts." Aliens are invincible, and we humans don't need to go head-to-head with them, wouldn't it be good to retain our strength? And cities have sacrificed us before, so why can't we sacrifice them now? ”
"Zhou Xiu, haven't you always insisted that we are new, more evolved human beings. Only such a human being can survive, so why send them to death? Gao Ziyi said lightly, "The technology we have now is enough for us to live on the moon for a period of time, or even for a long time." Although there is no breakthrough in nuclear fusion that Professor Yu Lin mentioned, Zhao Jing told me before that our resources on the moon are achievable. ”
"Now, there are more than 3,000 teenagers and girls in the Holy Landing District on my ship, and they are all talented people with good physical fitness. I also have a selection of DNA and human eggs and sperm that can support our development on the moon. Gao Ziyi said, "I know your character, if you don't say this, you're planning to fire at me, right?" ”
"Zhou Xiu, although you will sacrifice people to achieve your own goals, and you are ruthless, you will never sacrifice those promising children and the future in your eyes." Gao Ziyi looked at Zhou Xiu on the screen, his face began to turn red, "If you don't plan to do it, then I'll do it." ”
"High ...... Child...... Harmony. Zhou Xiu gritted his teeth hatefully, he looked at the operating table on the side, "Ready to open ......"
A violent roar resounded across the sea, and blinding yellow-red flowers bloomed from above Zhou Xiu's ship, causing the whale-like ship to lose its power and plant downward. And at the moment of hitting the sea, Gao Ziyi's ship also stretched out a weapon called "Storm".
Silently, millions of bullets flew towards Zhou Xiu's ship.
The water splashed, and the whole sea sunken several seas as if trampled by giants, and the explosion of the ship burned a raging smoke, causing the ships behind to quickly stop in the air, and even backwards out of the range of weapons.
The other captains looked uncomfortably in the direction in which the ship had fallen, staring at the smoke that was rising.
until Gao Ziyi's voice sounded in his head.
