Annihilation of the solar system

Chapter 372 Admiral and Decision

Zhou Cheng followed the direction of the sound and looked around, and saw a high-backed chair slowly rotating in the shadow in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Through the dim light outside the window, although he could only see the silhouette of the face under the military cap and the outline of the face clearly.

A glorious badge flashed on his shoulders, and Zhou Cheng seemed to feel the sharp gaze from under the brim of his hat.

"Oh, no need, I just want to take a look." Zhou Cheng said as he wanted to put the gem back into the pool.

"I am the Marshal of the Space Force, and I welcome you on behalf of the Moon and the Space Force. Didn't they also give you a priceless medal? You can keep this as a souvenir. But this thing is rare here.

But it’s worthless,” the marshal said.

Zhou Cheng hesitated for a while and held the gem in his hand:

"Thank you, Marshal. Then I will keep it as a souvenir. Anyway, there is no concept of currency now, and the value cannot be measured."

The marshal sat motionless in the shadows, and only his voice could be heard:

"Maybe on Earth, but here. It cannot be made into armor or weapons, nor can it become an energy core. This is why it has no value."

p

Zhou Cheng was slightly shocked. Although the marshal's words were cold, they made him feel a long-lost sense of crisis and security. He asked tentatively:

"I saw on the way here that the moon has changed a lot compared to my time. Are we still improving our defense system?"

The marshal moved slightly:

"I can't talk to you about this yet. Maybe we will have a lot of time to discuss this ancient satellite together in the future, but not now. In addition, I heard that you are tracking down something and have encountered some trouble."

Zhou Cheng's heart trembled and he asked alertly:

"Are you spying on me?"

The marshal's tone was still so unhurried:

"It depends on how you define surveillance. 649 years ago, you were exposed to far more than a fatal dose of ionizing radiation because of the activation of the naked singularity deterrent. Our technological level at the time was powerless to deal with your injuries. In the end, we accepted

Following Rainman's suggestion, Tissot will send you to l2 o'clock to freeze you first.

Since then, we have been using our most stringent means to monitor you and the large area of ​​airspace around you. In order to ensure that there are no surprises in your recovery, we have waited until our technology is fully mature before we start treating you.

treatment. This is why you didn’t wake up until six and a half centuries later.”

"Humanity has overcome the crisis. I don't think you need to spend so much energy and resources on me." Zhou Cheng said mockingly, thinking of his wife again.

p

"Of course it is necessary. Your wisdom and courage have allowed human civilization to continue to this day. You are certainly worthy of our best efforts to save and protect you," the marshal said.

"So monitoring my every move on earth is also to protect me?" Zhou Cheng asked.

The marshal shook his head slightly:

"The Space Force shoulders the important responsibility of guarding the naked singularity as a deterrent. This is not just as simple as being ready to press the button at any time, but we also have to know when to press it.

Therefore, we have a monitoring system that is completely independent from the earth. This makes it easy for us to understand your whereabouts on the earth, but this is not monitoring you."

Zhou Cheng could understand what the marshal meant, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in his heart:

"So what do you think counts as surveillance?"

The marshal said meaningfully:

"In this day and age, I can't define what surveillance means. But what I do know is that when you know someone is watching you, it's not surveillance anymore."

Zhou Cheng noticed the coldness hidden in the marshal's words. He had almost described his specious situation, but he was not sure:

"In that case, why didn't you take me to the moon after I woke up, but let me go to the earth instead?"

The marshal smiled faintly:

"I believe that you have seen the current appearance of the earth in the past two months since you woke up. It is as beautiful as a real paradise. This is an era created by you. You have the right and must understand all possibilities.

After sex, decide where to stay."

"What if I decide now to stay on the moon?" Zhou Cheng argued.

The silhouette of the marshal's hat swayed slightly and said:

"This is not a random decision. It means that you will not be able to return to the earth for a long time, even a lifetime. You have seen the appearance of our soldiers. They have been living in the lunar environment for many years.

With work, the body structure has undergone great changes.

The earth's environment is no longer suitable for their long-term survival, and the lifestyle here is also very different from that on the earth. Choosing to live on the moon is a permanent and solemn decision, and I don't think you are completely ready.

.The responsibility we shoulder also requires us to carefully screen the qualifications of every person who is willing to stay."

Zhou Cheng felt a chill on his back. The marshal's words accurately expressed his sigh and hesitation about the golden age of the earth.

"I know that after the operation to build a deterrent tower on the earth failed, the communication between the earth and the moon was gradually interrupted. I checked the investigation data afterwards and found that the person who wanted to privately trigger the naked singularity deterrent was the extreme repressive faction from the moon.

Is this what made you firm up your current attitude?" Zhou Cheng asked tentatively.

The marshal sighed and said:

p "Suppression faction? I don't know the meaning of this term. And the so-called truth is actually not that important anymore. What we see is the earth's opposition to excessive deterrence and the yearning for a better life.

At that time, we also had a fierce debate internally. In the end, the previous marshal and most members of the Space Force did not forget that they still shouldered the mission passed down from you. For this only deterrent,

We have no choice but to choose the most prudent way to protect it."

Zhou Cheng was deeply moved by the selfless dedication of the Marshal and the Space Force. He asked the question that was tangled in his heart:

"That is to say, you also believe that the threat has not been eliminated, and that the butcher's knife hanging over the head of human civilization is still there, right?"

The marshal was silent for a while and then said:

"This is not a black and white decision. If we can completely confirm that the current actions of Humanoid or Rain Man are for a future plan against humans, then I will not hesitate to immediately launch Naked Singularity Deterrence

Device. Because I know very well how vulnerable humans will be when they are ready.

But what if everything continues to develop like this? The atomic industrial revolution will arrive as scheduled in a few hundred years, and human beings will truly master science and technology equivalent to humanoids.

Can three civilizations peacefully develop the solar system and embark on a journey to the stars together, or even find eternity isolated from the universe? We cannot destroy the originally beautiful future just because of speculation."

Zhou Cheng was greatly shocked. He subconsciously rubbed the gemstone in his hand. A cold pain came from his fingertips. Maybe he held it too tightly, and his finger was scratched by the sharp edges of the gemstone.

There was a small hole, but he still couldn't bear to throw it away like this.

"We are not born with an iron will, and we also long to one day be able to walk into the eternal city with peace of mind. But we have to make sure that it is true eternity. Until then, we can only carefully guard the only deterrent device, and

Do our best to expand space for the continuation of civilization."

After the marshal finished speaking, he stood up. Although he could still only see a black silhouette. But Zhou Cheng was surprised to find that his figure was not as slender and tall as other Space Force soldiers, but very similar to himself.

He was holding something like a document bag in his hand and said:

"Let's talk about today's business. Fifteen years after the Doomsday War, we have restored contact with the Earth and have frequent exchanges. The Space Force commanders of that generation are very aware of the deeds and deeds of your old friend Cao Rui.

Ability, was also shocked after hearing that he was included in the fugitive list and was being hunted.

However, due to various factors such as the capabilities of the Space Force and the complex environment at that time, we did not see Cao Rui when he was alive. After the commander tried his best to obtain his file information, he found that the contents were incomplete.

.The past cannot be traced, but you will wake up one day.

You are close friends with Cao Rui and understand him completely. You will not let your old friend disappear in the long river of history so strangely. Your recent performance also confirms our prediction. This is also the reason why I see you now. Maybe you

If you can find the truth from the remaining clues, then you can decide whether to stay on the moon or the earth."

After speaking, the marshal walked slowly towards Zhou Cheng with a document bag in his hand.
