Annihilation of the solar system

The forest surrounded the distant light across the horizon like waves, and the sunset had already fallen into dusk. A city like a hanging garden emerged from the ground, and a sky filled with bright stars shrouded it, with spiers and spiers dotted under the starry sky.

Big tree with blooming flowers.

The spaceship passed over the city, and Zhou Cheng was overwhelmed by the colorful streets, landscapes, squares and sculptures. He scanned everything in front of him carefully, but found that there were only a few buildings hidden among the trees and landscape.

Although the architectural style of those houses cannot be clearly seen, it is certain that their floors are not high.

Just when Zhou Cheng was confused, a golden building rose from the ground in front of him, traversing the city like a city wall. And on top of this city wall, a tall tower rose into the sky every other distance.

There are no lights on these towering towers, and only a majestic silhouette can be seen, as if they are the pillars holding up the sky.

As the spacecraft approached, Zhou Cheng saw clearly that the city wall-like buildings were different from the long tall buildings in his impression. They did not appear to be made of concrete or glass curtain walls, but looked like countless huge crystals clustered together.

made.

"This is our molecular synthesis factory, we call it the Crystal Wall. The molecular raw materials prepared by the Great Industrial Wall will be sent here, and all the materials needed in the city are synthesized here. At the same time, this is also a boundary."

Qingwen pointed to the row of crystal tall buildings and said.

"Boundary line?" Zhou Cheng asked puzzledly.

"The area below us is the human residential area, and to the north of the crystal is the humanoid residential area. According to federal regulations, humans can freely enter and exit the humanoid area, but humanoids are not allowed to enter human habitation without permission.

District.

This law was enacted at the beginning of the construction of the Eternal City, and was proposed by Humanoids. This not only reflects the protection of humans, but also reflects the sincerity of Humanoids. In fact, they rarely come to our side.

Come." Qingwen replied.

"What about these towers?" Zhou Cheng asked again.

"That's the first stop we're going to. You'll know it in a minute. But it's a no-fly zone, and aircraft can't get close to it. We have to land early."

While Qingwen was talking, the spaceship landed on the street. As we walked along, we could see elegant sculptures, clever fountains, exquisite gardening and flowers, and trees with wide crowns everywhere.

The 45-storey small buildings are naturally integrated into these romantic and gorgeous landscapes, and their architectural styles are also different. There are ancient styles with carved railings and jade, there are intrigues and European-style manors, and there are blue-tiled balconies.

The pastoral songs also have a simple and fashionable modern style, and there are more styles that Zhou Cheng cannot describe.

When it was even more magical, everything in front of him was glowing with the soft light of the sunset. It added a bit of hazy romance to this dreamy city night scene, but Zhou Cheng could not find any light source.

At this moment, several people were walking towards us talking and laughing. Zhou Cheng felt nervous at first, and then he remembered Qingwen's words that humans were not allowed to come and go at will in human settlements, so he let go

Be wary.

I saw that the people walking towards me were all slender, fair-skinned, elegant in manners, uniquely dressed, and their faces were delicate and delicate in their own way.

1. At first, Zhou Cheng thought they were all women. But when he walked closer, he realized that the two people in the middle were slightly different from the others in terms of body shape and clothing. He thought they should be men, but he was not completely sure.

.

After those people walked into Zhou Cheng, they also stopped talking about what made them happy, and their eyes fell on Zhou Cheng without exception. Even after passing by, some people still looked back at him.

"They are just as curious as you." Qingwen said with a smile.

"What?" Zhou Cheng was a little embarrassed.

"Men like you are almost invisible in the Eternal City, and after a while you will be able to tell their gender at a glance. Such a trend is now popular, and you will slowly adapt to it," Qingwen said.

.

"Oh" Zhou Cheng felt an unspeakable confusion in his heart, but he just answered perfunctorily.

The two of them walked under the tower, and Qingwen asked Zhou Cheng to stand in front of the wall as smooth as jade.

"I don't have the authority to unlock the tower, but you can."

As soon as he finished speaking, a doorway appeared out of thin air on the wall in front of him. The tower was bright and empty. Qingwen led Zhou Cheng to stand in the center of the tower, and a transparent disk under her feet held them up.

Go. Within a moment, the two of them arrived at the top of the tower, and the four surrounding walls seemed to have disappeared.

Standing on a thousand-meter-high tower, the human settlement below is like a dreamland with colorful gems scattered on the lawn. Looking back, under the tower is a long river reflecting the brilliant lights of the crystal wall.

"Is this the Yangtze River?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"It is the product of the straightening of the ancient Yangtze River. The name is still the Yangtze River. On the other side is the humanoid residential area." Qingwen replied.

Zhou Cheng raised his eyes and saw that there were no crystal wall-like buildings along the river on the other side. Amidst the silvery white light, there stood long strips of tall buildings. The shapes of these tall buildings were very simple, with almost no windows visible.

.The tall buildings are connected by trestles, like a lifeless metal city.

"With such a dense building, are there many of them?" Zhou Cheng asked.

novel

Qingwen shook her head:

"No, in fact, the number of humanoids has always remained at 1/3 of the number of humans. I have been to them, and most of these high-rise buildings are empty. They like that kind of space, which may have something to do with their evolutionary environment.

Related. Just like we like the way our residential area looks now."

Zhou Cheng looked at the metal buildings lined up like cyberpunks and murmured:

"Are they really willing to do this?"

Qingwen said leisurely:

"649 years ago, when you used the naked singularity threat to forcefully press the stop button on the war, pain, hunger, disease, and hatred still threatened all life on earth. But soon, everyone realized that one must

The reality they face is that they can only continue to survive on this planet together.

1 The beginning was not smooth. Human beings hold the sharp sword that determines the fate of the solar system. Rain Man has the ability to kill fish and kill nets. Human beings are also worried that the unpredictable technological level of humanoids may break the threat of the naked singularity after gaining an industrial foundation.

The three parties were suspicious of each other, and the situation once reached a dangerous situation on the verge of collapse.

In the end, reason defeated madness. Humanoids promised to make all their science and technology transparent, Rainman would provide all the help it could before the industrial system was established, and humans could enjoy the greatest priority forever."

"But such a contract is vulnerable in the long river of time." Zhou Cheng said.

Qingwen nodded slightly:

p

"Of course they knew, so when the construction of the Eternal City began, they couldn't wait to put the seal of destruction on this contract. The first row of towers to be built was this row of towers. You can look up and see our

Over the head.”

Zhou Cheng looked up and saw that there was a trumpet-shaped device in the huge space at the top of the tower, and the mouth of the trumpet was facing the humanoid city on the other side of the river. Qingwen continued:

"This is a directed heavy nuclear fusion weapon with an equivalent of 500 million tons of TNT. It can turn everything within a 10-kilometer-wide and 200-kilometer-long range on the opposite side into scorched earth. There is one such tower every 8 kilometers. This

This ensures that if humanoids try to destroy the naked singularity deterrent, humans can still make them extinct in an instant.

Behind the humanoid city, there is a deep cone-shaped well that penetrates the earth's crust. Inside is a device called a geocentric pacemaker. The shock waves it generates will stop the rotation of the earth's core. The start button is operated by Rain Man and

This ensures that humans will not attempt to exterminate other civilizations after mastering advanced technology and absolute deterrence.

As for the Rain People, because their physiological structure is not suitable for living in the Eternal City, they voluntarily went to another place to undergo strict monitoring and promised not to leave their gathering place until humans mastered complete technology.

In fact, they have not left the gathering place now.

On top of this, the three civilizations must also abide by one of the most basic rules. They must never build any high-energy particle experimental equipment. This will prevent humans from trying to reopen the space-time channel for consciousness transmission on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also avoid

The experimental energy level exceeded the standard and triggered the cosmic monitor mechanism."

"But now that we can develop the resources of the inner solar system, what if someone quietly builds an accelerator on Mars or even farther away?" Zhou Cheng asked.

Qingwen smiled and shook her head:

"As a physicist, you should know very well that high-energy particle collisions will emit neutrinos. Such ghost particles cannot be shielded. The invention of highly sensitive neutrino detectors makes such an attempt impossible.

.

As long as neutrino sources other than the standard neutrino radiation source of the sun are monitored and the wavelength of the neutrinos is determined, it can be immediately confirmed where the extra neutrinos in the solar system come from. Any conspiracy will be discovered immediately, and the cost

It may be the common destruction of three civilizations, and no one can bear such a price.

It is on this contract of mutually assured destruction that the Eternal City exists today."

Zhou Cheng frowned and looked at the peaceful metal city on the other side without saying a word. Inexplicable fear and anxiety stirred in his heart.
