Black Technology: Starting From the Space Jumping Machine

  Chapter 20 Long-lost mission

   "From the current observations, the technological level of this civilization is conservatively estimated to be about 500 years ahead of Blue Star."

   "As for why these spaceship wreckages were allowed to scatter in the desert, there are currently three logical guesses."

   "First, these spaceship wrecks are subject to unknown pollution. Compared with the cleaning investment required for recycling, it is better to just discard them."

   "Second, what more important project has involved all the energy, causing this civilization to not even have the energy to recover so many resources."

"third."

  Professor Mao analyzed the current situation with Lu Yu with a tired expression.

  If it is only about 500 years ahead of the technological level, then the possibility of having the technology to affect the space jump is much smaller, which will make Lu Yu more calm in his choice of advance and retreat.

  Lu Yu's spirit, which had been tense for a whole day, finally relaxed a little. After all, he was alone on this planet, and the entire civilization outside was more advanced than Blue Star. No one wanted to be a guinea pig.

   So whether to contact and communicate with this civilization?

  Lu Yu's tendency is to be willing to communicate and contact on the premise of ensuring friendship and harmony!

   Think about how far science and technology can be developed in 500 years?

  Blue Star Human beings in the 16th century never thought of the information-based life of human beings in the 21st century, nor did they think that human creations could break through the constraints of gravity and reach space.

  If he can obtain all kinds of science and technology from this civilization, how many points will he get?

  Becoming a bridge between two civilizations is the optimal solution that Lu Yu thought of.

  Thinking that Trisolarans will be inspired by human civilizations that are so far behind in science, and then set off a technological explosion. The contact between civilizations is definitely not just for the benefit of the technologically backward.

   It’s just how to get in touch, how to achieve technical exchanges when Blue Star’s science is backward, and more information is needed to assist decision-making.

  So the Silver Star waited quietly on the sand dunes for two days, and the poor last planet of life was completely forgotten by Lu Yu.

   After all, it’s hard work rubbing all kinds of tools by hand, so how can you directly carry them?

   But Lu Yu's idea of ​​waiting for a rabbit seems to have come to nothing. After such a period of time, let alone aliens, there is not even a trace of a probe.

   It stands to reason that when it has developed to the level of space elevator technology, leaving aside space cities, there will definitely be many satellites in low-earth orbit used for planetary observation.

   Whether it is the analysis of the scientists or Lu Yu's judgment, they all agree that when the Silver Star appeared on this planet, they should have been noticed immediately.

   After all, with Bluestar's current technology, a slightly larger fire on the ground can be detected by satellites immediately. There is no reason why a civilization five hundred years ahead of the technology cannot achieve comprehensive real-time monitoring of the surface.

  Looking at the wreckage flickering outside the cockpit, Lu Yu said, "Perhaps this spaceship wreckage area has some kind of shielding function?"

Professor Mao on the mobile phone nodded: "This possibility is not ruled out, the current situation is either that this civilization has not discovered you, or they are too cautious and will keep watching you until they have full confidence in contact. "

  Thinking that this kind of game similar to who blinks first and reveals his flaws will appear in the first contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, Lu Yu was speechless.

   This is not the case in sci-fi movies. This is not the way to treat aliens!

   Could it be that this civilization sent a signal similar to electromagnetic waves, because Lu Yu could not receive the communication information under the armor isolation of the Silver Star?

   After waiting for another day, I still haven't seen any plans for close contact with this civilization.

   Waiting so hard is not the same thing, the Silver Star finally moved again.

   Coming to the edge of a basin where wreckage was smashed, Lu Yu selected a lucky bottle in the cockpit, and skillfully prepared to sacrifice it to obtain some data of the planet.

  Bottle-1.

   For human beings, the bottle has paid too much.

  So Lu Yu was moved and threw out the bottle after collecting information, letting it play its last role.

   Slashed a parabola, and the bottle fell to the wreckage of the spaceship that was constantly emitting lightning.

   Zizi.

   Within seconds, the bottle turned into a mass of charred polymer and fell onto the sand.

  The data obtained from this show that the atmospheric pressure of this planet is almost the same as that of the blue star, the gravity is also about 1G, and the temperature is about 45 degrees.

   But even after such an act that almost exposed its own civilization level, this civilization still did not take any action.

   This seems to support the speculation that they haven't found the Silver Star yet.

   Lu Yu, who had been waiting for a few days, simply drove the Silver Star and headed for the space elevator, as if he was a guest in person.

  However, after traveling in the desert for three consecutive days, the closer to the space elevator, the denser the surrounding spaceship wreckage. In the end, the Silver Star could only drive on the deck of the spaceship to approach the space elevator.

  In this unusual situation, speculation about the end of civilization is already on the horizon.

   These spaceship wreckages were intertwined with bright electric light. If he was not worried that the spacesuit would not be able to resist this danger, Lu Yu would have stopped to explore these wreckages.

  Finally, after turning over a tilted deck, the Silver Star was about to reach the bottom of the space elevator.

   At this time, Lu Yu realized that the space elevator was so dilapidated.

  If the sky tower is magnificent from a distance, then it is best described as dilapidated when you look closer.

  Although it still towers straight into the sky, the structure of the main body has peeled off, and the seemingly complete silver cylinder is full of big holes.

   "Too broken?"

   "Has this civilization abandoned it?"

  Blue Star's exclamation came from the mobile phone, and just as Lu Yu was about to answer something, a long-lost prompt popped up in front of him.

  【The civilization bred on this planet has perished, and the creations in front of us are in ruins. What happened to bring this civilization that has gone to the stars to the end? 】

  【Trigger system task mechanism. 】

  【During the mission, the point reward will be doubled】

  【Please select a task】

  This system actually issued a task?

   And the civilization that produced so many huge ships and magnificent space elevators is dead? ?

  Lu Yu quickly withdrew his gaze from outside the cockpit and looked at the translucent information bar in front of him.

  Task 1: The Story of Civilization

  This is a civilization with potential, but it is still dead. There are countless precious treasures buried in its ruins, explore and discover the story behind this civilization.

  C-level rewards to promote technological progress and clear points.

  Mission 2: Meeting is fate

  There seems to be a good thing left here, why not pick it up and have a look?

  S-level rewards to obtain item integrity settlement points.

  Leaving aside the S-level rewards that popped up, Lu Yu was completely stunned by the information he got from the mission. He looked at the space elevator outside the cockpit, which is an engineering miracle for humans, and was silent for a long time.

  The expected communication and contact, the expected response, and all the expected preparations for what might happen are meaningless.

  This civilization is really dying!

  The satellite of this planet slowly rises from the side of the broken space elevator, and the clear light falls, intertwined with the electric light in the desert, reflecting a poignant sense of dilapidation.

   It turns out that this is a cemetery of civilization, and the space elevator in front of us is its tombstone.

  These spaceship wrecks scattered in the desert can only use the remaining energy to speak quietly—there used to be a brilliant civilization here!
