Chapter Ninety-Five: Hope
The crisp birdsong was tactful, the wind and clouds woke up from their sleep, but the eyes were pale gray walls, and he sat up suddenly, where is this?
The refreshing cold air quickly sobered him up, and he looked around, only to find himself lying on a circular meadow, and beyond the meadow was an outer circle of unrecognizable panels.
Overhead is a circular roof, but it is made up of panels of the same material as the floor. The edges of the sheets have the same protrusions, which are joined together by thick rivets.
He seemed to be in a large hood, with a gentle but unglaring array of lights on the rim of the wall at his level, and behind the light, large strands of wiring and pipes filled the entire interior of the wall, without any obstruction.
Everything in front of him seemed to be covered with a layer of pale blue, but it was so faint that Fengyun didn't notice it at the first time.
Standing up slowly, Fengyun's waist and back were a little sore, and he habitually reached out and rubbed it, but he was attracted by the abnormality between his fingers.
Raised his hand and looked at it, the ring on the middle finger of his right hand was the black iron ring he had always carried on his body.
Sure enough, haven't you gone back? But where is this?
The grass is not flat, but rounded and convex, like a section of a sphere.
Behind him, near the wall, there was a row of counters, scattered with all sorts of miscellaneous items, but it was impossible to see what was placed on them.
Fengyun walked towards it, and when he reached the grass, he was blocked by a soft membrane.
The almost transparent unknown material forms a soft but tough film, and the pale blue halo is the color of this film. It was like another giant bowl, buckled above the grass, and also buckled the wind and clouds inside.
Stretching out his hand, Fengyun felt that the tentacles of his palm were like water spiders pressing on the surface of the water, and he could clearly feel the surface tension of this film.
"Are you awake?"
A gentle and low female voice sounded, Fengyun retracted his hand, and a female figure appeared in front of him, she seemed to gather the beauty of all women, the gentleness of all mothers, so that people could not have the slightest blasphemy.
She was wearing a close-fitting pure white full-body gown, with no interface in sight, but outlining her perfect figure, her long black hair was simply tied up in a bun at the top of her head, and then hung down from behind.
Step by step, she looked at the wind and clouds in front of her, and there was inexplicable emotion in her eyes.
"Who are you?" Fengyun asked.
The woman smiled and said, "My name is Nuwa, and you don't know me yet, but I've known you for a long time." ”
"Nuwa, which Nuwa?" Fengyun was a little alert, in his memory, in addition to the legendary Nuwa, he also knew a Nuwa, and the one in front of him was obviously the latter.
"Come with me first! There's an old friend waiting for you. ”
Fengyun felt that his eyes were slightly brighter, and when he reached out and touched it, the film in front of him had dissipated.
Nuwa did not disappear, but Fengyun was still standing in front of him, and when he looked closely, Fengyun found that the holographic projection technology she applied was not advanced. Because when she turned around, Fengyun could see a trace of deformation and blurred burrs, that was because her visual coverage area did not reach 360 degrees, and the image processing ability was relatively average, and it was not even as good as the quality of the civilian model in Sister Li's room in his memory.
However, Fengyun can see that her character model is very exquisite, and her movements are also very smooth, no different from a real person, if it weren't for the trace of deformation that she turned around just now, Fengyun really thought she was a real person.
Standing barefoot on the cold floor, Fengyun followed behind Nuwa, his body was a little sluggish, and his walking posture also made him a little unaccustomed.
As he walked along the edge of the meadow, there were small round windows at intervals on the wall beside him, and as he walked through them, he suddenly stopped.
The thick glass was covered with a layer of dust, but not enough to block his vision, and outside the window, a large pale blue familiar light and shadow was swirling, although it was a glimpse, but it was enough for him to recognize that it was the earth.
And in the reflection on the window glass, he saw his own appearance, it was an old face, he stroked the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the gray hair, and suddenly felt that this face was somewhat familiar, but for a moment he could not remember where he had seen it.
In space, there is no up and down, left and right, the windows are parallel to the earth, looking at the sea of clouds floating there.
"Is it pretty?"
Nuwa also stood beside him, looking out the window at the rapidly rotating earth, she pointed and smiled: "This is the earth on July 25, 2513 A.D. in the old calendar, that is the largest storm in the history of the earth for hundreds of millions of years, and its area is even about the size of Australia, very beautiful, right?"
"Is this the illusion you generated?" Fengyun asked.
"Yes and what?
Fengyun sighed and muttered, "It's still fake......"
"Can you really tell if it's true or not?" Nuwa looked at him and smiled, "What if for me, this is the real world?"
Fengyun looked at her hesitantly, and Nuwa said, "Come on, you will know the answer soon." ”
Looking back at the window, the blue-gray steel plate above cast a curved top, which was also rotating at a uniform speed.
Feeling the solid feeling of stepping on the ground under his feet, Fengyun knew that it was not the earth that was spinning, but the place he was.
If he stood outside, he could see that he was in the middle of a massive spindle-shaped ship. The huge spaceship resembled a coarse cigar flying vertically around the Earth in space, and Fengyun was almost the same as the circle of gold leaf that circled the cigar.
The centrifugal force formed by the uniform rotation creates a gravitational field, giving Fengyun the feeling of stepping on the ground, but in fact it is rotating clockwise in the direction of the earth.
Following Nuwa to the operating table, Fengyun set his eyes on the table, where there were all kinds of miscellaneous items, from all kinds of compact instruments, repair tools to villain books and comics.
Nuwa walked to the front of the stage, stretched out her hand and beckoned, and a light curtain projected by a holographic projection appeared in front of Fengyun, flashing with blue light.
"Are you ready?" asked Nuwa looking back.
"What are you going to prepare?"
A face suddenly appeared on the light curtain, and this face Feng Feng Fang had just seen was the owner of his body.
"Hello, 9527, welcome back!" The old man on the light curtain sat in front of the operating table, looking at the receiving position, as if he had seen the wind and clouds in his body through the light curtain.
This 9527 made Fengyun remember the identity of this old man.
"Dr. Ji?" Fengyun clenched his fists.
Nuwa smiled on the side: "This is the video. ”
"I'm surprised!" Dr. Ji, who was in the prime of life, was already dying, he seemed to have guessed Fengyun's reaction, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry yet, you came here with my body, I still need a few days to do the final debugging work, but don't make me angry." This is the first time you have come here, has Nuwa taken you to visit? ”
"The last time you came was ten years ago, I didn't expect it to be time so soon!" Dr. Ji paused and smiled, "You must be confused, right? Don't worry, before you leave, I will tell you everything, including why you were born, the current state of the human race, and the direction to find your way." ”
I don't know where to start for a while. After a while, he sighed: "Although I have been looking forward to this day, but today has finally arrived, but I am not too happy, emotions are really a wonderful thing, it will affect people's rationality, but if there is no it, people can not survive." ”
"My fate with you is at the end, and your fate with me has just begun. ”
Dr. Ji coughed suddenly, and he tried to hold back, but suddenly he coughed more violently.
The picture shook for a moment, and he sat up straight again, relieved.
He stared to one place, his eyes like a river piercing the river of time, and he sighed, "It all starts with that bronze plate." ”
"We don't really understand how the Terrans have been defeated. We have millions of Zeus-class warships, we have more than 20,000 S-class colonies, and countless colonies below A-class, half of the galaxy is our territory, we have rule-class weapons, and we have almost attacked his lair. However, in the end, I realized that we were not rivals at the same level as him. ”
"We thought the Void was another Tier III civilization in the galaxy, but he was much more advanced than our life forms. ”
"That's right, I'm talking about him, at the beginning of the war, we were dealing with the Void Clan as all sorts of gigantic molluscs, and I learned much later that they were just a tiny part of the whole. ”
"I don't know if he has always been a living form or if he has evolved and fused through civilization, but the life form I know has gone beyond the fourth dimension and reached the fifth dimension or even a higher state, otherwise he would not be able to attack the human race through the time level. ”
Fengyun's thoughts extended with Dr. Ji's words, and he suddenly remembered that Huo Meng had said that the Void Clan had invaded the timeline of the human civilization, which was what he called a time-level blow, right?
"That's right, what Huo Meng said is roughly right. Dr. Ji seemed to have guessed Fengyun's thoughts, and said, "I'll tell you about him later, but now I'm going to tell you what the Void Clan is." ”
Dr. Ji continued, "Until now, we didn't know what the Void Clan's life form was like, but it can be inferred that it is likely that he does not depend on matter to survive, but rather in the form of energy or even quantum states. Actually, the clan is a very small unit, and I am more accustomed to calling him the Void, and his power after his re-ascension is very strong, and we will not lose unjustly. ”
"However, at the beginning of the battle, his power was not that strong. Dr. Ji coughed again, and it took a long time before he stopped, and he had to take a sip of water so that he could continue.
"We had a chance to defeat him, and with our earthy methods, the Void Race we saw at the beginning was his manifestation of the Dimensional Reduction, and if we could capture and exile all of his three-dimensional manifestations, we could win the war. However, in order to prevent future troubles, the federal government approved the military to use the weapon of the law of cause and effect, and wanted to wipe out his civilization, but he was caught by the opportunity. ”
"Our life patterns are different, the way of thinking is not the same, there is an old saying on the ancient earth, called punching the master to death, the material life form is unfamiliar to him, but it is our home field, we can use energy-level weapons to hit him, but for him, energy-level weapons are already very old, and even have been eliminated. He didn't have a way to deal with it, perhaps because the attack patterns he was familiar with needed to be upgraded before he could use them. However, our highest-level weapon has already touched the edge of ascension, which is familiar to him, so he used our causal weapon to successfully ascend and immediately counterattacked, however, we don't know anything, not even that we have been destroyed. ”
"Do you remember that story? The ancient story inscribed on the bronze plate, it is a warning from the ancient sages of the Terran race, and all of us races should be grateful to the unknown Terran sage, who discovered the deviation of the course of civilization development, and he issued a warning, and this warning, after spanning tens of thousands of years, helped his children and grandchildren gain three years of preparation time, and saved a glimmer of hope for a turnaround. ”
