Annihilation of the solar system

Chapter 349: The Rain Man (Part 1)

Zhou Cheng stood under the sculpture in the center of the Bridge of Time and Space, looking at Li Ke and his companions who were gradually going away. His heart was empty. Although he suspected that every sentence Li Ke said was a gorgeously packaged lie, and even 1

Du had the urge to go up and punch her. But the golden age she talked about was really around her.

Qingwen stood next to Zhou Cheng, looking at her with a look that was less romantic and more fearful. After hesitating several times, she finally said:

"Professor Zhou, you just woke up today and need to pay attention to rest. I will take you to your residence."

Zhou Cheng nodded and followed Qingwen back. When he walked to the side of the spacecraft, the melodious music was still there, and the artists were still playing classic ancient songs selflessly.

The spaceship stopped in front of a villa surrounded by vegetation. The furnishings in the house made Zhou Cheng feel very comfortable. They were all familiar objects from his time.

"This is the style I selected for you. I think this can reduce your sense of strangeness. If you have any needs, you can ask AI. It can meet everything you need." Qingwen said.

"Thank you, Qingwen. You should also go to bed early." Zhou Cheng said.

"Then we'll see you tomorrow!" Qingwen said and turned and left.

After closing the door, Zhou Cheng's mind was still churning with Li Ke's every sentence. He kept examining himself and the entire era. He checked the information of this era through the AI ​​system, and the vast sea of ​​information overwhelmed him. Unknowingly,

Suddenly, deep tiredness hit him, and Zhou Cheng fell asleep on the sofa.

Early in the morning of the second day, under the dawn of the east wind, the spaceship above the sea of ​​clouds led the rising sun to the scene.

"Where are we going now?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"Go meet an old friend of yours." Qingwen had a mysterious smile on her face.

"Old friends? What old friends do I have in this era?" Zhou Cheng asked doubtfully.

"Yuren, at least that's what they called you when I contacted them." Qingwen replied.

Zhou Cheng's heart thumped and he asked:

"Have you seen them?"

Qingwen shook her head:

"No, in fact almost no one has seen what they look like, and ordinary people rarely go to the gathering points of the Rain People, but you will know soon."

The spacecraft passed through the clouds, and the ground was an endless flat grassland. The spacecraft flew close to the grassland, scaring the grazing sheep to run away.

Suddenly, a small jade-like green patch appeared in the middle of the horizon ahead. As the spacecraft rapidly approached, the small patch quickly expanded to both sides until it covered the entire horizon, but its jasper-like color did not change at all.

.

"Ahead is Tarim Lake, which was a desert in your time. History books record that during the Doomsday War, human warriors diverted the glacial water from the plateau under desperate circumstances, and then filled it again. It's really

It’s hard to imagine such an epic battle.”

Zhou Cheng's heart was heavy and he said calmly:

"There is no such thing as an epic, there is only the fearlessness and sacrifice of the soldiers. They are the real heroes and the founders of the times."

The spacecraft soon arrived at the center of the endless lake, and a wall of gray clouds appeared in front of them. When the spacecraft landed on the lake, the misty clouds and fog had already tightly wrapped them in it.

"Yu Ren only wants to see you. I can only wait for you here." Qingwen said.

Zhou Cheng nodded and opened the hatch of the spacecraft. After carefully stepping onto the water, he discovered that the water was just enough to cover the soles of his shoes, but there was nothing under the clear water. He just stepped on it.

The empty road walked into the drizzle of rain.

The spaceship behind him quickly disappeared into the blur of rain and fog, leaving only the sound of raindrops lapping on the lake. Not far forward, Zhou Cheng saw an arched structure that straddled the water.

It is as white as jade and looks extremely hard. Just like a white dragon emerging from the water, its head has just plunged back into the water but its tail has not yet come out of the water.

Zhou Cheng carefully continued to go deeper, and there were more and more such structures. Some were only as thick as a thigh and as tall as a person, while others were as thick as stone pillars, and the vaults were even hidden in the rain clouds. They were intertwined back and forth.

1 together, weaving into an indescribably complex and exquisite structure.

"Professor Zhou, I never thought we could meet again." A long voice echoed in the rain curtain.

Zhou Cheng looked around vigilantly, but found no sign of anyone.

"I've never seen you before," Zhou Cheng said sarcastically.

At this time, a section of a thick round arch broke off in front of him. It spun rapidly and formed a Tissot that flew to Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng was startled and instinctively took a step back. Although Tissot did not make any sound, the frightening howling sound seemed to be lingering in his ears.

Soon, Tissot flew back and merged into the round arch just now.

"Professor Zhou, don't be nervous. I am just doing this to let you understand more intuitively that we have actually met. I, or we, have a completely different evolutionary history from humans. This makes our life forms very different.

.But from the perspective of wisdom, there is no difference between us."

Zhou Cheng glanced at the countless arches surrounding him.

"Are you a symbiote?"

"To be precise, it is symbiosis of will. We have a collective will, and we can also give individual will when needed. In the current state of connection, it can not only express one overall will, but also consist of countless independent wills.

Composition. Therefore, I am both me and us now. It is me who is meeting you, and it is also all the rain people who are meeting you.

I know, from the perspective of your independent life form, this is difficult to understand. You can roughly understand our life form as the ants you are familiar with, although this is not accurate. We share memories, from this 1

Looking at it from a certain point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that we are old friends."

Zhou Cheng wiped the raindrops from his face and asked in a mocking tone:

"Then where did you come from, my old friends!"

"Actually, I have already reminded you of the answer, but your one-sided understanding of intelligent life forms makes you always miss the truth that is just a piece of paper away. We are also from the earth."

"Earth? Why have we never discovered you before?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"2.4 billion years ago, in the era you call the Carnian flood event, our ancestors landed on a small continent in the corner of the ocean, facing a torrential rain that lasted for 2 million years.

6. Through unremitting evolutionary efforts, we have achieved the evolutionary stage of evolving intelligent neurons in the last 50,000 years before the end of the rainstorm.

In the last 10,000 years before the end of the rainstorm, we evolved civilization and society. And we also created splendid culture and history in thousands of years. We will also look up at the stars and be fascinated by the laws of movement of stars and everything.

And it has achieved scientific achievements that far exceed yours."

"What happened next?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"Just when we were piously grateful to the universe for giving us the right to look up at the stars, nature gave us a great irony. The heavy rain that lasted for two million years came to an abrupt end!

Heavy rains have created our civilization and our life form. We are a species that can neither leave dense oxygen nor water, and we immediately fell into a great dilemma for survival."

"You have such superb technology, don't you have the ability to predict the cessation of the rainstorm or find countermeasures?" Zhou Cheng's tone no longer contained ridicule, he could feel what Rain Man had experienced.

"We don't have perfect life forms like you. Our proliferation rate is very low, our population size is nothing compared to yours, and our ability to adapt to environments outside of habitable environments is also very weak. Even if we have powerful technology, we still have trouble surviving.

We are still walking on thin ice, and the ferocious face of nature has only just begun to show a corner.

Just when we were struggling to deal with the impact of the humid environment on us, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, global anoxia, and ice ages followed one after another, and our civilization had just risen and reached the edge of the cliff."

Zhou Cheng shook his head in confusion:

"We have also experienced geological disasters. They will indeed bring some trouble to civilization, but they will not push civilization to destruction!"

"In the face of geological changes during the earth's geologically active period, the so-called disasters you have recorded are simply child's play. And we are far from your distribution range and population size. From this point of view, I envy you. You have evolved

A more suitable life form for survival, and Mother Earth has always been taking care of you."
