Chapter 51: The Price of Not Being Lonely

Humans are not alone.

Human beings are not alone in the universe.

Since the advent of picnic areas in 1999.

Since 1999, when the Roe and Mecha warships were spotted in the picnic area, people have spent more time and energy looking up at the stars. However, due to technical reasons, the starry sky is still no different from the past.

A boom, a dead silence.

But with the warships on the earth, the human civilization, which had no direction, at least had the possibility of guessing. The original Fermi paradox has been broken, and thousands of years of records have led to a new set of theories.

That's the "suburban theory."

In theory, the Orion Arm of the Milky Way is a deserted corner of the universe. Most of the civilizations that enter the universe will never go to these small places without need. There are no resources to be desired, and most of the stars here are of terrible quality.

And those advanced civilizations, civilizations that can carry out interstellar voyages, should live in galactic complexes, and the universe is large enough for them to live. Just like there are still some unexplored places on the earth today, and the galaxy where human beings are located, the solar system where they are located, is just like a small speck of dust in a primeval forest on the earth.

No one wants to visit this dusty place.

After a long period of development, human beings now have enough motivation, enough courage, and enough direction to explore the universe.

Unexpectedly, the Luo people in the picnic area began to block the signals of the entire earth, and began to combine with the human body, allowing human beings to start a new path of evolution, and the development of scientific and technological civilization has also stagnated a lot. Although the Department of Astronomy exists, the information and materials observed are relatively lagging behind.

And after the existence of extraterrestrials was confirmed, most of the research focused on two aspects. How to clean up the lifespan effects of the Loxon contamination, and how to absorb and unearth alien technology from the ruins. This is much more concrete and tangible than those civilizations that are far away.

It's just that at this moment, what Bing Shijue remembered was the scene when he looked up at the starry sky when he was a child. He still remembers sitting on his father's shoulder, staring at the twinkling stars in the sky. He would fantasize about becoming a scientist, an astronaut, and then landing on the moon with those people and going to Mars.

However, because of reality, I chose to become a teacher. And because of the emergence of picnic areas and the reform of the city in all aspects, he was unemployed again.

Now, the astronomical department told himself that the starry sky he had seen when he was most tired was completely fake. It is the traces of the shining warships of different civilizations in the universe.

Moreover, these warships are rapidly approaching the solar system, closer to the Earth.

"How long do you expect to arrive?" Bing Shijue's upper teeth bit his lip, and because of his excellent physique, the wound had already healed as soon as the blood oozed a little.

"Three minutes." A researcher after Zheng Kaihou reported a text that made Bing Shijue feel cold, "The starry sky at this time is like a time-lapse photography. ”

"I would say close the portholes now and prepare for liftoff." Zheng Kai lowered his head slightly and looked at the ground in front of Bing Shijue, "We don't have any preparations for the air, or even to deal with aliens, we can only rely on you." Right now, you can use all the resources of the Xuanwu and the human race. ”

"In the face of this situation, we don't really care about the outcome." Zheng Kai smiled bitterly and watched the porthole begin to fall slowly, "Human civilization may only have the last three minutes." ”

"The outside is up to you, or...... It's okay to say whatever you want to your parents. Zheng Kai sighed, the heaviness on his face was a little lighter, "Leave the things inside to me." ”

"No, I think it's a waste." The astronomical researcher who had originally provided the observation suddenly said, "If there are three minutes left in human civilization, then we should quietly accept death." ”

"Are you a hedonist?" Zheng Kai looked up at his watch for the first time, and then looked at the young man behind him who had not seen a few times.

"I'm the hedonistic number 0." The young man said calmly, and also looked at Bi Min's hand stretched out to the gun bag on the side, "My original plan was to infiltrate you and crash the Xuanwu after it lifts off. But the plan failed. And things are beyond my expectations, the level of technology of aliens is higher than we can imagine. ”

"Did you do the right thing about the pipe burst of the Xuanwu function?" Zheng Kai frowned, and Bi Min's gun was also taken out of his pocket and aimed at No. 0.

"Of course, but now is not the time to talk about that." No. 0 looked at Bing Shijue calmly, "Bing Shijue, I hope you will use Xuanwu's resources to let everyone have a good meal and a good night's sleep." If you can let everyone sleep peacefully, that's the best way to wait for death. ”

"Your TM ......" Bi Min's forehead was bruised, but his fingers just couldn't press the trigger, and the muscles in his body began to stiffen.

"Two minutes to go." "We're just ants in plastic cups now, and humans are starting to step on us, so it's better for us to meet death in what position." I think it's the most appropriate thing for everyone to be in the midst of happiness and the unknown, rather than in panic. You're right, Bing Shijue. ”

“…… Maybe. Bing Shijue glanced at No. 0 and also at Bi Min. The huge divine thoughts rushed through like water, causing the gun in Bi Min's hand to exit the magazine, and his movements finally returned to normal, clutching his wrist and staring at Number 0 with a hungry wolf-like gaze.

"Zheng Kai, let everyone feel at ease in terms of treatment." Bing Shijue turned around, "There is still a minute and a half, let everyone be allocated the best food and have shelter." Of course, there may not be enough time...... Bi Min, if you send No. 0 to prison, of course there will not be enough time. ”

"I still have some hedron energy here, enough for me to fly to the periphery." Bing Shijue turned around and couldn't help but want to tell his parents and Bai Qiuyue about his inner thoughts. If they were told, they would have had an even more difficult time at the time of death.

"Zheng Kai, the people inside are handed over to you." Bing Shijue's body floated slowly, leaving Xuanwu again, which gave him a slight sense of belonging. The portholes were quickly closed, and all observation facilities at those observatories were suspended.

In Bing Shijue's divine thoughts, the world he saw was incomparably brilliant and terrifying.

With the Earth as the center, the originally dim starry sky is now full of stars, and these stars have narrow traces behind them. The whole sky is like a time-lapse work of art, everything is pulled into white, blue, red lines.

What used to be a starry sky is now like a starry sky made of silk threads. Everything but the solar system was distorted and distorted, and it was as if someone had thrown the entire solar system into the drum of a washing machine, leaving it to shake and dizzy.

"The last minute?" Bing Shijue felt that his whole person was immersed in white crystals, and these solid crystals disappeared directly the moment they touched him, turning into thick liquid energy and storing them in his acupoints. And with his back to the sun, the warm power is also urging Bing Shijue forward little by little.

He suddenly felt that he had seen such a picture before.

Is it in ...... Ten minutes ago, he had his back to Xuanwu, and then in front of him were 33 ships of the Starry Sky Sect.

Now, his back to the sun and his back to Xuanwu.

Facing the bright starry sky in front of him.

He flew over the moon, and when he saw the ships of the lunar faction, he panicked, and lined up in a column to fly to the outer reaches of the solar system, but now the thrust of one hundredth of the speed of light was like a slow turtle crawling in front of the ice Shijue. They also know that it will take me an unknown number of years to get out of the current speed.

And the alien ship has more than 40 seconds to arrive.

As his thoughts swept over, Bing Shijue saw that there was already turmoil inside those ships, some people were crying in the cabin, some people were picking up guns and preparing to resist, some people were pursuing the last intercourse with their lovers and unfamiliar people in the room, and some people had flowers in the back of their heads, stuck in the blood of the mining guns, like a unique ornament on the mining guns.

Bing Shijue flew over the moon, flew past all the ships, and came to the position of Mars.

This is the planet he dreamed of landing on when he was a child, but now it looks a little different from what he imagined.

It doesn't matter, though.

The ships in front of you are the ones that matter.

There were 25 seconds left before the ship arrived.

Bing Shijue flew a distance of 5 light seconds and a distance of 1.5 million kilometers.

This distance is beyond the limit of his life, but he still does not really get close to Mars.

Bing Shijue continued to fly forward, and in 25 seconds, he had covered a distance of 2.4 million kilometers.

In front of him, the dusty space ships stood like this, levitating.

————

"It worked, I finally succeeded!" Wu Yuexia stared at the millions of warships that were suddenly inserted in the solar system, burst into tears, her cheeks were crimson, she cried through gritted teeth, and laughed wildly, "Human civilization is finally going to perish, this garbage, cheap, ugly, disgusting and disgusting civilization is finally going to die!" That's great! ”

"Look at the warships of those advanced civilizations, they are perfect geometry, and even ...... It has no shape, but it can refract light, and even resembles a black hole. It's so beautiful, this is the civilization I want! Wu Yuexia's face was pressed against the porthole, and she spat at the battleships that arrived one after another, but were precisely arranged between the solar systems.

In a matter of seconds, the interior of the solar system arrived as if someone had broken a bag of flour, and a dense and delicate, powder-like spaceship arrived. Of course, there was no shortage of huge, dazzling ships that stopped on the periphery of the Oort Cloud, quietly levitating.

"You look very excited." Xin Huayang still didn't put down the guns in his hand, but he also looked at those strange spaceships with glamour, "What are these spaceships of different civilizations for, if they are according to the theory you said, in order to kill us, why do you spend so much energy." ”

"For research." Wu Yuexia did not lose her temper only when explaining, "We humans, as locusts in the universe, can make them afraid, but also make them curious, and they will also want their civilization to have such an ability." Humanity has just failed, if it is a higher level of civilization that has power, it has such controllable power as humans. That's truly a perfect civilization. ”

"I'm actually very puzzled, you believe in the cultivation civilization of human beings in your words and deeds, but why do you despise human beings so much." Xin Huayang asked.

"Because humans are weak, that's the biggest problem." Wu Yuexia turned her head and said, wiping the overflowing saliva with her sleeve, "If the human race is now a level 9 civilization, I can kneel down on the spot and admit my mistake, or directly execute." But human beings are now a low-level civilization that is less than a first-level civilization, and they are not even a cosmic civilization. ”

"I see, you're a very moment-focused speculator, or a speculator who focuses on your life experience." Xin Huayang nodded, with a look of sudden realization, "Whoever gives you benefits, you will follow whomever you want, and whoever gives you better, you will immediately abandon the previous one." ”

"I'm such a person, and I only enjoy the present, what can't be given to me now, may be given in the future, but who can guarantee it?" Wu Yuexia turned her head to look at the starry sky again, "I don't know what kind of civilization will take me away, I'm looking forward to it too much......"

In just a dozen seconds, more than hundreds of space ships appeared inside the solar system, and they still carried a hot, endless light behind them, as if someone had erupted a cheap salute from the interior of the solar system, bursting out hundreds of brilliant rays.

But the ships disappeared from sight the next moment, and only his divine mind could feel them.

The moment the divine thoughts were emanated, these space ships did not hesitate, and invariably released fluctuations that could interfere with the ice first consciousness's divine thoughts. This uncomfortable feeling made Bing Shijue stop suddenly, curled up his divine thoughts to about 15 centimeters on the surface of his body, and looked around at the starry sky that had become unfamiliar.

Suddenly, the world behind it dimmed.

Bing Shijue turned his head suddenly, and the image he saw completely extinguished the glimmer of hope that remained in his heart.

Just like the sun at this time.

The original dazzling sun was like a leaky balloon, and instead of passing through the stage of a red giant, it shrank in an instant, became dim, and was finally swallowed up by a shining ship.

The solar system, there is no sun.
