227 Reflections

In the end, everyone came to the observation room at the front of the battleship under the leadership of Lao Zhang.

It's just an observation room, but it's actually a huge space.

The horizontal and vertical views are extremely wide, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a large hall.

In front of them is a curved one-way glass that stretches for hundreds of meters.

These glasses can only be looked out from the inside, but the outside cannot look inside.

Rhodes and the others looked at the wreckage of the incalculable number of mechanical objects floating in the universe in the distance.

It spread densely for tens of thousands of kilometers, and there was no end in sight.

Only in the middle of this space junk is there a road that has been swept out.

Perhaps, if it weren't for the fact that the warships of the Mechanical Civilization were too large for them to transfer, I am afraid they would not have cleared this road alone.

In this universe, there are no stars in the far distance.

I don't know if it was never, or if it was broken.

Without the influence of external gravity, these fragments would have been floating in space for a long, long time.

At this moment, someone suddenly asked, "Isn't there anyone to clean up all this garbage?" ”

Lao Zhang nodded: "No one will think about cleaning it all up." ”

The man wondered, "Why?" If there is garbage and we don't clean it up, won't it affect us? ”

Lao Zhang looked at him in surprise and asked, "Affect us?" Why do you think that? We won't live here. ”

The man insisted:

"The universe is also our home! It's impossible to have garbage outside the house and no garbage inside, so we don't care about it at all, right?

Since we are the masters of this universe, we should do a good job of maintaining the universe. ”

Hearing this, Rod was speechless.

The garbage outside the house is close and you can see it at any time.

But how many times can you see the garbage in the universe in your life?

At this time, Lao Zhang explained:

"If you can do what you can, or if it actually affects you, you should clean it up.

But if you look at it now, how much time do you have to spend cleaning up if you want to?

If you have this time, you might as well study how to build a civilization for the elderly. ”

Hearing the old man say this, the student was anxious.

"Then let these broken debris just float in space and no one will clean it up?"

Lao Zhang listened to his slightly childish words, and was completely lifeless.

Children, everything feels like it's related to one's body, it's very normal.

He just calmly looked out the window and said nonchalantly.

"How do you know that the stars outside of us, and the universe we live in, are not made of some broken pieces?"

Lao Zhang looked at him: "Look, has anyone cleaned us up?" ”

The man said, "But we are human beings! ”

Lao Zhang replied: "How do you know that others will not look at us like we look at insects?" What if in the eyes of others, we are the worms wriggling on this garbage? ”

After listening to what Lao Zhang said, this person was thoughtful.

And Lao Zhang didn't continue to talk to him about this topic, but just reached out and gently patted him on the shoulder.

Lao Zhang said to the students, "Okay, it's time for us to go to the next place." ”

When the students heard Lao Zhang say this, they all came to his side.

A large hand took everyone in his hands and pulled them into the void.

The next moment, everyone appeared on a huge metal planet.

This metal planet is obviously more than twice the size of the planet that Rhodes has ever lived.

There are not many high-rise buildings on the ground.

The one at their feet was the only tall building nearby.

The pure metal floor under the feet of the people will bloom with a gray color with their steps.

It seems that there is some kind of special paint on the surface of this metal.

Rod looked out.

Outside of this building, there are all steel buildings with the same appearance.

Looking at the appearance of these buildings, it seems that they are all external defense facilities.

These huge spheres are like cysts growing on the ground, and one can be found every few meters.

Lao Zhang introduced: "This is the energy launch cannon, if all of them are activated, the entire planet can shoot beams of light in all directions." ”

Looking at these defensive facilities, everyone was very surprised.

At the same time, they are also curious, how did the seniors on their side break through when they faced these defensive facilities?

At this moment, a certain student was pointing in one direction and exclaimed:

"Look! What is that? ”

Hearing his shout, everyone hurried around.

Rhodes followed the crowd to the edge of the building.

Underneath the dozens of floors of the building is an extremely open place.

At this time, there are many mechanical objects parked in a uniform area.

The size of each mechanical object is more than ten meters high.

The streamlined body and the well-laid out various equipment are all hung around the huge gun port.

They seem to have been created for the purpose of serving the war.

Rod looked along the queue.

He noticed that the machines were lined up all the way to the ground below.

Rod just found out.

It turned out that the place under the feet of these machines was not a so-called square or hangar, but an extremely wide track.

This track should be able to continuously transport these mechanical objects out of the ground.

Probably for some unknown reason, this track, which was still in operation, suddenly stopped.

That's why there are so many inactive machines, standing on top of them.

Standing on the high platform, Lao Zhang pointed at the surrounding buildings and introduced the role of these buildings to everyone one by one.

After the introduction, everyone was taken to the next place by Lao Zhang.

As everyone was pushed out of the void, Rhodes found that although the surroundings were bright, the light was not very soft.

Rod looked up.

I saw that what hung above me was not the sky and the sun at all.

Rather, it is a high-definition screen, showing blue sky, white clouds and red sun.

Rod looked at it.

On both sides of the wide tracks, there are huge factories.

These neatly lined factories seem to be a complete industrial chain, along the tracks one by one.

Rod looked at it roughly.

On the tracks, the front part is stacked with many parts.

Screws, steel plates, resistive elements, and more.

In the middle part of the track, there are a lot of semi-finished products of machinery.

Tires, metal shells, circuit boards, and much more.

By the end of the track, Rhodes had found a number of tall machines.

At one point in the track, the machine is empty, lacking nothing.

After a while, the arms were ready to be attached.

After a while, the legs of the machine were also attached.

By the time these machines have passed through the last factory, their bodies have been fully formed.

As soon as the tracks are transported, they can be put on the battlefield under the control of the network of intelligent citizens.

However, at this time, these huge factories have completely stopped.

All kinds of facilities and equipment are still maintaining the original busy attitude.

There are only huge robotic arms, hovering in the air in a haphazard manner.

It seems to be a foreshadowing of how busy it was before.

At this time, Tang Guoguo suddenly asked Rhodes: "Brother Yusheng, is the mechanical object of the intelligent civilization made from here?" ”

Rod nodded: "Yes." ”

Isn't this confusing?

Why do you have to ask me, you stupid woman?

Cao Lie, who was beside him, also sighed at this time.

"To be able to defeat such a terrifying enemy, the ability that our predecessors have, it is so strong that we don't dare to think about it!"

Rhodes agreed: "Yes! I don't know when we'll learn these skills. ”

After he said this, he glanced at Lao Zhang not far away.

And Lao Zhang obviously heard Rod's exclamation.

He said, "Go ahead! There's always a chance in the future! ”

Rhodes just started and stopped answering after bringing the topic out.

On the side, Cao Lie didn't know what Rod thought, he was very curious about this matter itself.

Seeing that he had said this, he then asked: "Military merits are required to learn these abilities, and now that the war is almost over, where do we still have this opportunity?" ”

Cao Lie's words seemed to be poking the lung tubes of other students around him.

They immediately started talking to you and me.

"yes, yes! If there were no war, we would not have learned a few abilities in our lifetime. ”

"If we don't have to learn, and when the old people are gone, then won't our group of people be a bunch of waste?"

"Yes, yes, yes! If other civilizations attack us, and we have no power to fight back, how can this situation be solved? ”

Lao Zhang didn't seem to have thought about this.

In the face of many students' questions, he had no way to answer the reason.

But he knew that since even the students could think of this situation, the corresponding arrangements must have been made a long time ago.

So he said, "Don't worry, the above will definitely take care of this matter properly." ”

Hearing Lao Zhang say this, even though some students were talking, most of them kept their mouths shut.

They still have a lot of trust in those high-level people who rule the entire civilization.

Gradually, no one was talking about it anymore.

They began to shift the conversation to the things they saw around them.

The various technologies that the mechanical civilization has displayed here can still inspire them.

And they watched all the way.

Layer upon layer, layer upon layer.

It turns out that the entire planet here is supported by layers of buildings.

Each layer has its own purpose.

The outermost layer is the defense facilities, the docking place of the mechanical warship, and the transport channel.

The second floor is a base for the production of various machines.

Countless machines will be crafted here and then sent to the ground by tracks.

The third layer is the processing area.

The smelting and pouring of various ores, the production of various small parts, and the stamping of huge steel plates are all done here.

The fourth layer is where various ores are sorted, washed, and purified.

The situation on the fifth floor is a little incredible.

The bottom layer is not land, but two very small planets.

The two of them were bound in by some kind of magnetic field, constantly rotating around each other.

Through all kinds of instruments that no one can say.

The mechanistic civilization will be able to draw kinetic energy from the rotation of these two asteroids, thus generating a large amount of electricity.

The electricity produced is used by the factories and facilities above.

Rhodes stood on a step that jutted far into the void, looking at the two planets that were entwined with each other in the distance.

An idea popped into his mind.

Far away in different universes, between different civilizations, there are different races, but they are all using some technologies that are not very different.

For example, electricity.

So according to what the elder civilization says about other civilizations, isn't it such a possibility?

Once upon a time, there was a certain highly developed scientific and technological civilization.

It may be that the intelligence level of this civilization has reached a very terrifying level.

However, in the process of the development of this civilization, they did not choose to fully embrace machines, and there may be a state of coexistence between flesh and blood.

Perhaps, this civilization has already mastered the technology of genetic engraving.

You can engrave some things that need to be learned through the day after tomorrow in your genes, so that people are born with them.

And so the whole civilization was pushed to a climax.

But one day, due to its own development, this planet was discovered by a powerful civilization.

Then, they were attacked.

This planet with a splendid technological civilization was shattered by some kind of attack in just a moment.

A large number of fragments of facilities and equipment, as well as many planetary fragments carrying the genetic material of the planet, float aimlessly in the universe.

By chance, these fragments were captured by the gravitational pull of many planets.

A large number of planets are devoid of life.

These fragments can only be gradually buried in the dust, or burned in the stars.

But some planets may already have life.

After landing on such a planet, these genes began to combine with native genes, or genes from other civilizations, and continued to evolve and reproduce.

The creatures on these planets, one day, those things that were already engraved in their genes, suddenly woke up.

They will follow the instinct engraved in their bones, and gradually embark on a certain path.

For example, a lamb is born with milk.

Everyone will think that this is the instinct of the little lamb.

But in and how the instinct came into being in the first place, no one knows.

But Rod felt that this should be the knowledge engraved in the genes, but it was imperfect.

It may be that some powerful being looks similar to a sheep, and after it dies, its genetic material is scattered around.

But unfortunately, in the end, what came to a certain planet and combined with the native was only a little bit of broken genetic material.

Although this new creature still has the appearance of a sheep, its body has become a beast.

They can't be the terrifying sheep-headed demon that roams the universe, they can only be a baating beast.

Therefore, what kind of organisms can be combined depends on what genes are relatively high in this new biological gene.

If there are more native genes, it may be tens of thousands of years, and every part of this planet is still ruled by groups of stupid beasts.

If the metaphysical factor is high, it may not be possible to evolve a Xiuzhen civilization in the end.

If it is foreign, these organisms have more genetic material.

Then after they combine with the native genes, they may eventually form a new intelligent race.

However, because the original genes obtained by these intelligent races are not complete.

They simply don't realize that sometimes the inventions of their own people are actually just awakening some fragments of knowledge that have long been hidden in their genes.

Mysterious genes and perfect flesh are not something that their current underdeveloped civilization can understand.

Therefore, they can only blindly push the opportunity to discover these things to a flash of inspiration and talent.

Rhodes looked at these two planets and couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart.

Do you have a chance to discover that original civilization?
