Chapter 22: Bing Shijue's Family
"Hmm...... What you bring is indeed good news. After listening to Bing Shijue's narration, Zheng Kai nodded, the battle armor made a slight sound of sore teeth rubbing in his actions, and his flexible mechanical fingers played with a machine, which was also the information that Bing Shijue took from the dwarf.
"First of all, the dwarves are able to unite with us, this is a not very complete level 3 civilization. And the Zerg are willing to form an alliance with you, because it depends on the potential of immortal cultivators. You are right at this step, we have indeed reached level 2 civilization, and we can ask them for compensation. ”
"However, the current Xuanwu Alliance and the Space Fleet have a few problems." Zheng Kai tapped his chest, and a projection of his face appeared on the hard helmet, "The Xuanwu Alliance is now controlled by immortal cultivators, and all immortal cultivators still have the existence of demons, and subconsciously want to kill all useless things and completely destroy us backward humans, because they occupy too many resources and a series of words that we all listened to when we were young." ”
"So you'll have to meet them and see if you can help with that...... It is true that the wars of the past were inevitable, but that is also a problem left over from our generation. I have my responsibility, and I can't shirk it. ”
"But after more than two hundred years, I actually don't know whether such a move is right or wrong, and the influence that Wu Yuexia has brought to these people...... The influence of mentality, as well as the attitude of having a high self-esteem, are difficult to solve in a short period of time. However, Wu Yuexia's divine thought impact created this group of hundreds of thousands of immortal cultivators. When facing the Luo people, they have at least the strength to fight. ”
"The second point is that the human race is now divided into the Xuanwu Alliance and the Space Fleet, all of which are immortal cultivators, and the Space Fleet is basically ordinary people. Of course, ordinary people nowadays can also be said to be capable, but what they have is a kind of ability, which is not complete. There aren't enough acupuncture openings. ”
"On the whole, immortal cultivators are indeed the future of mankind. But I think that among the immortal cultivators in the future, there must also be some ordinary people who cannot cultivate. So the space fleet can at least give those people a place to live, a place where they don't have to be discriminated against, and still shine. ”
"So the biotechnology you got from the Zerg, I'll make good use of it, at least for this time, to see if I can reconcile the Xuanwu Alliance and the Space Fleet...... To be precise, it is the contradiction between the class of immortal cultivators and ordinary people. ”
"I talk to you so much, I just want to tell you that you can rest assured to do your thing. As far as you are concerned, you are actually going to be troubled, and you are facing more danger than we are. In fact, both the Xuanwu Alliance and the Space Fleet understand this. It's just that the path we want to take is different. Zheng Kai smiled, "When you come back again, maybe humanity has entered a new realm, which can make you find some sense of belonging." ”
"But the outside world is actually only 2051, if there is no black cavity." Bing Shijue calculated in his mind, "The Luo Clan Battleship is now a little delayed by me, and it is expected to arrive in 2068, which is still 170 years for you in the Black Chamber. ”
"That's enough, when you come back, you will see a long-lived race with a lifespan of up to a thousand years, and you will also see a world full of immortal cultivators." Zheng Kai's hand this time with a heavy battle armor patted Bing Shijue's shoulder, but he still couldn't make Bing Shijue's body shake anything, "And maybe our problems can be solved." ”
"I hope so, too." Bing Shijue picked up Zheng Kai's hand on his shoulder as if he was picking up a fallen leaf, "Zheng Kai, the technology of this battle armor must also be developed again, and I will give you some of the dwarf's technology at that time." Otherwise, it would be really difficult to fight against immortal cultivators. ”
"It's just time." Zheng Kai felt as if his hand was being clamped by a machine, "We will digest these well, and the first meeting with the Zerg, Luo, and dwarves and elves will be handed over to you." ”
"Is that immortal cultivator now living in Xuanwu?" Bing Shijue asked, "Or is there anything you want to convey?" ”
"No, at my level, any sentence can be misinterpreted. It's only when I face you that I can feel like I'm back in my youth, and I don't have any scruples about talking...... Of course, it's also your appearance, and your strength that allows me to do this. Zheng Kai looked at Bing Shijue, who seemed to have escaped time, "I'm old...... I was too old to open my helmet for fear that someone would assassinate me. I'm worried that if I make a wrong move, it may cause civil unrest in the space fleet...... There's no way around it. ”
"Admittedly." In this regard, Bing Shijue could only nod. More than two hundred years of time are nothing more than a few hours for him, he can only imagine the pain, torture, and consumption that Zheng Kai has experienced, "Then see you in the future, I hope we can meet in a future that we want to create through our own hands." ”
"I just want to be able to retire in peace, and not die in armor, or die worthily." Zheng Kai turned off the projection on his helmet, "The Xuanwu Alliance is still on Earth, remind you." Immortal cultivators have a more longing attitude towards you, but there are also some people who think that you have stolen their fate or something...... It's all the thoughts of some losers, so you still have to be careful. ”
"Understood." Bing Shijue nodded slightly, "I'll go later." ”
"No...... Don't worry. Zheng Kai stretched out his hand, "This is what I have as a manager...... Alas, I always feel that these words are very hypocritical and meaningless in front of you. But for now, it is necessary. ”
"Huh?"
"The people selected by the Star Art and Literature Xuanwu Alliance want to be close to you." Zheng Kai sighed, "And Ling Luoshan was elected by me, and he is the representative of our two factions. If you go alone, it may mean that you are not satisfied with them for the Xuanwu Alliance, so the attitude will change. ”
"Ah, that's what it means." In this regard, Bing Shijue could only respond with a helpless expression.
"You follow Xing Yiwen together, and then I change Ling Luoshan's position a little on the back foot, because I have contacted you, or I have been inspired by you, and I have made a contribution to passing on information. Give them the attitude that you are affinity with the space fleet. This will make you evaluate the two factions a little bit better overall. Zheng Kai explained, "No matter what, you are a person from 200 years ago...... So this time, when you came, I also temporarily asked the people in Mars 1 City to temporarily go to other places, because there are too many uncontrollable things. ”
"You've had to learn a lot, Zheng Kai."
"If a person in his 300s wants to live until now, he will have to have something dirty in his hands, and this is only a small part." Zheng Kai's fingers opened, "By the way, this is Bai Qiuyue, and the information given by your parents, let's go and see it on the way." ”
"Aren't you suggesting I go see them?" Bing Shijue stared at the small piece of metal from Zheng Kai's palm.
"You are the strongest and freest person in this galaxy, and no one can restrain you." Zheng Kai waited for Bing Shijue to pick up the metal piece, "Your family will always be safe, this is the common agreement of the Xuanwu Alliance and the Space Fleet." So please rest assured. ”
"However, the problem of demons on the Xuanwu Alliance's side is very critical. I hate them so much, but they were born in my hands, and they have grown far faster than I have. This is a problem that I can't solve today. I can only get them to approve of it in policy, in law. At the same time, maintain the balance between the two and contain them with a common threat. ”
"But this is only a palliative, not a cure. Bing Shijue, I hope you can go, at least give some inspiration, some skills, and let them change a little. ”
"I see." Bing Shijue nodded, and the metal piece flew up under the effect of divine thoughts, floating into his sea of consciousness.
"You can read the relevant information by immersing yourself in it with your thoughts, or you can play it on any wall now." Zheng Kai's whole person seemed a lot more relaxed, "Bing Shijue, although I know that it is stupid to hand over some important things to one person. ”
"But maybe only you can do it."
————
Bing Shijue walked out of the embassy, and his thoughts spread silently. He could sense that on this Mars, many people had retreated to the ground, and most of them were living in ships, with the engines in the rear already warming up.
With Zheng Kai's return, the expressions on the faces of those residents also seemed to relax a lot.
"Is it because of what I have come to prepare for the Xuanwu Alliance and the Space Fleet to break out again......" Bing Shijue smiled bitterly, "And it's right to come back and take a look, the longer you are an immortal cultivator, the more you will forget what the disaster that ordinary people have to face." ”
Today's Ice Consciousness has naturally been able to travel through the universe, and with the help of Ruyi, he can reach the speed of light. But for ordinary people in the Space Alliance. The only thing that kept them safe was the thin protective shield above their heads, and the thick armor on the ship.
Once there is a breakage, they may die directly, freezing to death in this cold universe because of the cold.
Or, if a small meteorite comes somewhere, if they are unlucky enough to hit the engine, they may be completely adrift in the cold universe, waiting for death like in a steel prison.
"Senior Bing, are we going now?" Xing Yiwen had been silently following Bing Shijue's side during this time, and it wasn't until Bing Shijue stepped out of the membrane of the Martian base that she asked in a low voice.
"Let's go." Bing Shijue's body slowly floated up, and the long green dress on Xing Yiwen's body also faded, turning into an emerald green pebble to wrap her, "The gathering place of immortal cultivators is in the Xuanwu of the earth, right?" ”
"Yes." Xing Yiwen's voice reached Bing Shijue's mind, revealing a little envy at the same time, "Although we can travel in space, we can't be as chic as you. So you still have to rely on external objects. ”
"Why not?" Bing Shijue frowned.
"The acupuncture channels in our body are not fully open like yours." Xing Yiwen explained, "You should have experienced it before, to soar in the universe, you have to constantly strengthen the cells and tissues of the body. ”
"You can do it easily, because you just need to have enough energy and time to do it." Xing Yiwen projected a diagram of the acupuncture points in Bing Shijue's mind, "But the limit of mine is more than eight hundred, and more than two hundred of them cannot be injected with energy, so the surrounding cells cannot be strengthened at all." ”
"Even after so many years, we have come up with some crude solutions, such as submerging the whole person in abundant energy, it can be successful. However, the resources consumed in this way were enough to cultivate hundreds of brand-new immortal cultivators, and it was really a waste purely to strengthen those cells around a single acupoint. ”
"It's like I'm going to a place, just drive and the road is flat and unobstructed." Bing Shijue thought thoughtfully, "But you are like the road in front of you is broken, and the broken places in the middle are still various mountains and swamps, and you can't dig mountains and reclaim the sea, you can only build winding roads, and more resources will be consumed along the way." ”
"That's what it means, so we have also developed new exercises in the future, which are suitable for people who open different numbers of acupuncture paths, so as to reduce such situations." Xing Yiwen's voice was full of piety, "So only you can truly reach the limit of an immortal cultivator." ”
"Perhaps." In this regard, Bing Shijue could only shake his head in his heart. Because the rejection or modesty in reality can't bring about any change, I can only silently dive into the sea of knowledge during the time I went to the earth to watch the metal piece given by my family.
At this time, Bing Shijue's sea of consciousness had expanded to almost boundless, and since he became an immortal cultivator, he hadn't studied this very carefully. This is also a reason for this trip to the gathering place of immortal cultivators. Their research for more than 100 years has always been a little better than their own research.
Stretching out his finger and pushing aside the chaotic thoughts in his head, the metal sheet naturally unfolded into a projection.
"Shijue, are you okay? This video was recorded in the exotic land of Autumn Moon. When the projection unfolded, there were two old men with pale hair who appeared in front of Bing Shijue, and only the appearance of their faces and the tone of their voices made them recognizable.
This is his parents, Shu Jun and Bingcai.
"We're safe, and although you've been through a lot of things in the years you've been away, we've not been hurt, we're not sick, and we're just living in a Martian city every day...... But your mother and I are both old, and we have to wear thick armor and an exoskeleton to help us go out. ”
"Your mother used to be angry, saying that if she lives so long, she may be threatened, so she might as well die. In this way, you are safe, and the earth is safe, of course, you and I both know that your mother is angry, and she is not living a good life yet. ”
"Awake, we've seen you through the camera." Shu Jun spoke, the wrinkles on his face and the old age spots on his hands reminded Bing Shijue of his grandmother and wife, "You are still very young, and you are still the same as when you first left the earth...... That's good. ”
"Overall, I feel that you don't have to worry about anything, just go as I told you before." Bingcai said, "I still remember when you were born...... Ah, it may have been more than 20 years ago for you, but for me, and for your mother, it was more than 300 years ago. ”
"Your due date was standard, and it was a normal night. When we got home from work, your mom said that her stomach hurt and it was just in time, so we went to the hospital and spent a few hours with the help of the doctor...... Then wait until the next morning, you're born. ”
"It's past five o'clock in the morning." Shu Jun added.
"Yes, at this time, your grandmother is planning to melt her own ring and put a longevity lock for you...... I'm older than your grandma and grandpa when they died, who would have thought. Bingcai smiled hard, "I thought about it for a long time when I came up with a name for you. After thinking about it, at five o'clock, the sun had just begun to rise, so I chose a starting word. ”
"But Bingshi, Bingshi, I always feel uncomfortable screaming." Bingcai smiled, "My name is Cai because your grandfather's family was poor at that time, and he hoped to have a rich child, and hoped that I would have a good life in the future." ”
"And when you were born, there were already picnic areas around. Your mom and I also went to work at the picnic area and got hurt. ”
"After discussing and looking through the Xinhua dictionary for about half a day, we plan to add a jue character to you. There is a sense of awakening, and the meaning of understanding is there. ”
"We hope that you, in this world that does not know the future, in this world full of dangers, can be as full of vitality as the sun has just appeared and the day has begun, and you will do meaningful things in the future and shine in the world. At the same time, you have that determination in your heart to know where you're going and what you should do. ”
"Although it is true that your studies are not very good later...... High school is more average, and college is also average, and I took the postgraduate entrance examination twice. When Bingcai said this, he and Shu Jun both laughed, "But when we were sick later, they also did a lot for us." Not to mention the back, I awakened my ability to become an immortal cultivator, and I did a lot, which is also a big thing in the real sense. ”
"Your mother and I have lived for more than three hundred years and have been through so many things. From the days when there were no phones and no computers, to when we saw aliens fall, when we saw you born, we got the kind of abilities in the movies, and cities were ruined, cities were rising, and we were able to leave the earth, go to the moon, and come to Mars. In fact, there is nothing to worry about anymore. ”
"I just hope that you can do what you want to do, and you can take responsibility for it, and you won't be miserable and hopeless because of it. I've heard about Sophia's degradation of you, and you've only been through it for a few months, so ...... The road ahead is long, and you have the ability, believe in yourself, and take your time to explore. ”
"Okay, I've said so much, and I'll give your mother a little time...... Ah, but the Academy of Sciences says that the time of this video is basically infinite, but I can't think of much more about your dad. ”
"I'm not used to video."
"My son is going out again when the time comes, and you don't record what he will watch when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, I'll see...... Where is this camera? ”
"Glowing this."
"So small?"
"It's bigger, the Academy of Sciences said I'm afraid we won't use it."
"Hmm...... Then I don't know what to say. Bing Shijue saw the camera pointed at his elderly mother, and a sour feeling surged in his heart, "Qiuyue is almost three hundred years old...... And in this day and age, who you have children with, it should be dangerous. So forget it, just be happy yourself. ”
"Mom can understand a little bit about what you have to do, but a lot of it is what your dad said, what black holes, what black cavities, what other civilizations...... I tried to understand as much as I could, but there were still a lot of things I didn't understand. But you really have to keep yourself safe and try not to do dangerous things. ”
"Time changes really fast, I still remember when I was pregnant, your dad took me on a trip, we were in the hotel in the middle of winter, watching the icicles under the eaves get longer."
"Now on Mars, where is that icicle."
"Oh, that's a long way off. More than 300 years...... What did I do. Kind of forgot, older. The most recent one seems to have been in Mars City for a long time. When we had nothing to do, Bai Qiuyue helped us build a world in a foreign land, where your father and I lived. ”
"If you're tired of living inside, wear those uncomfortable clothes and walk around Mars. There is really nothing to see on Mars, just a lot of mountains or something, and the green belt under our community is not as good as before. ”
"Because of a lot of time, your dad and I re-studied, but we are still older, and he finished reading economics that he had not finished, and I read a lot of books on community work, and I went to help out, but the community on Mars is not the same as our on Earth...... The book of the Martian community is very thick, and there is a lot of new knowledge in it, which I can't understand very well. But your dad said that we still have more than 200 years to live, so I'll take my time. ”
"Zheng Kai also came to see us, the person who was about the same age as you in the past is now as old as us. He said that if it goes well, in another hundred years, we will be at peace, and you will come back to accompany us when the time comes. ”
"It's been a long time, but the Academy of Sciences has also come up with a plan that allows us to hibernate like sleeping, and waking up is more than a hundred years later. But we are too old, so it may be more troublesome to go through the preliminary procedures. I'll talk to your dad about it then. ”
"By the way, I've watched a lot of TV series, but the recent TV series are not as good as the previous ones."
“…… Finally, I hope you will go home soon. ”
"I try to ...... It's kind of hard, Mom. Bing Shijue looked at his parents in the projection with tears and laughter, and the latter part was his mother's expression who didn't know how to turn off the camera, and then suddenly realized after her own fumbling.
"More than a hundred years, for me who travels at the speed of light, it is a short time that I can't feel at all." Bing Shijue sighed, savoring the warmth in his chest. Seeing his parents again did make his heart relax a little.
But it also gave him food for thought. is a long time for parents.
"Maybe hibernation techniques are better for them...... The Zerg's genetic technology will allow them to heal physically, and they will wake up in a future era of peace. Bing Shijue's mind moved slightly, and the next video was played.
It's the older Bai Qiuyue.
"There's not much I'm going to say." Bai Qiuyue looked at the camera, "You have been in the past two hundred and ten years, but you are still so young in the video, because of the theory of relativity." ”
"The Exotic system has been improving lately, and it has begun to be able to adjust time in reverse, such as 10 years in the outside world, and only one year for those who enter the Exotic. This is used when taking into account future interstellar voyages. There is also a matching hibernation technique. Anyway, you can rest assured. ”
"Hey, it's time, no matter how you think about it, you can't figure it out, but it really exists." Bai Qiuyue sighed, "I'm an old lady over three hundred years old, why are you still so young." ”
"You haven't finished that novel yet."
“…… Well, no kidding, there's more important things to accomplish for you right now. The smile on Bai Qiuyue's face quickly became faint, "When it's over, let's talk about it again...... It's not a flag, young people don't talk like that anymore. ”
"Good luck, Bing Shijue."
