Earth Era

When the term "unknown civilization relics" was mentioned by Li Yunfan, Zhao Lan covered his mouth in surprise, with shock on his face: "Unknown... unknown civilization relics?"

"Yes." Li Yunfan nodded gently, with a sigh on his face: "It is the relics left by an unknown civilization there. Our human civilization has been struggling with whether we are the only one in the universe, and we have been working hard to We are looking for extraterrestrial civilizations, but who would have thought that there is a ruins of an extraterrestrial civilization in our solar system."

"How is this possible? You are saying that because there are relics of an alien civilization in the Jupiter system, in order to keep this secret and prevent the dangers that this relic may bring, the human government will choose to conceal the landing on the Jupiter system. Something?"

"That's probably it." Li Yunfan spread his hands: "Of course, the government can't stop me. I relied on the strength I accumulated to come to the Jupiter system, and found the third place in the orbit around Jupiter according to the place the teacher said. Two relics, and found the black hole in that relic, and then brought it back to Earth. I am sure that the government must be searching for the Jupiter system now. Only after confirming that all possible relics are in hand Only then will the Jupiter exploration plan be approved."

"The ruins I found are not the same as the ruins controlled by the human government, but it is basically certain that they belong to the same alien civilization. According to my own estimation, if we can continue to develop at the current speed of technological development If we continue, it will probably take another three hundred years for us to catch up with the technological level of that civilization."

Three hundred years is a very short time compared to an entire civilization, even so short that it is somewhat inconspicuous. Measured according to the gap of three hundred years, it seems that the technological gap between the earth's civilization and the unknown civilization is not that big. But Zhao Lan knew that this was not the case. Just like the era of Zhao Huasheng three hundred years ago from now, during that era, human civilization had already devoted all its efforts to building a small base on the moon. But what about the current human civilization? ? It's even possible to build a big city on Mars. This is only the most obvious progress. The rest include space elevators, earth and Mars ports, ultra-large-scale rapid underground transportation networks, flight instruments, aerospace aircraft carriers, and so on. Compared with three hundred years ago, it is like heaven and earth.

Moreover, the rate of scientific and technological development of human civilization has been accelerating. So what will it look like if human civilization develops for another three hundred years? Zhao Lan couldn't imagine it. But now Li Yunfan said. The technological level of the unknown alien civilization that left the unknown ruins is probably three hundred years more advanced than the earth's civilization.

It is completely understandable that a civilization that is three hundred years ahead of Earth's civilization creates artificial black holes.

But there is a very important question, that is, how old is this ruin? If this ruins has a history of 10,000 years, or even 100 million years, then. To what terrifying extent has the current technological level of that civilization developed?

Li Yunfan seemed to see the doubt in Zhao Lan's eyes, so he replied: "I have determined the history of that ruins. The determination result is between 500 million and 600 million years ago. Because the time is too long, the history of those ruins The equipment in them has long been completely damaged, but because it is a space environment, they probably still maintain their own structure. I think that with the resources and means of the human government, some technology can be obtained from these ruins. uncertain."

"Five to six hundred million years ago!" Zhao Lan was once again shocked by this number. Hundreds of millions of years... this is such a distant time. At that time, there were probably only the most primitive multicellular organisms on the earth, but at that time, an unknown alien civilization came to the solar system. They left some ruins in the solar system and then drifted away, not knowing where they came from or where they were going.

Li Yunfan continued: "When I discovered this black hole, its mass was only about two million tons, so I could lose weight for it. Then I had the opportunity to bring it back to the earth. According to this time point and Calculating the remaining mass, when the site was still in operation, its mass was approximately between 340 million tons and 360 million tons, which is still in the category of micro black holes, so it is still very likely to be artificially created. of."

Zhao Lan's thoughts were almost blank at this moment, and he didn't know what to say. The words Li Yunfan said were so shocking that Zhao Lan couldn't digest them in a short period of time.

If there really was a civilization in the solar system 500 to 600 million years ago that was three hundred years more advanced than the current human civilization... Do they still exist now? Has it disappeared into this vast universe, or does it still exist? If it has disappeared, why did it disappear? If it still exists. So after such a long period of development, where will their technology reach?

Compared to the entire universe. No, just compared to the age of the solar system, the history of human civilization is really too short, and human civilization is too young. The written history of mankind is only five thousand years at most, but what about the history of the solar system? A full 4.5 billion years. How many orders of magnitude is the difference?

Li Yunfan continued to say quietly: "I don't know much more about this alien civilization ruins than you do. Apart from knowing its history and location, I can also be said to know nothing. So you don't need to ask me any more. There are many things, because I don’t know either.”

Zhao Lan knew that he shouldn't think about these things for too long, but these things seemed to have magic power, always making Zhao Lan fall into deep thinking without even realizing it. Zhao Lan wants to know the ins and outs of all these things, wants to know everything about this civilization, and wants to know what mysteries of the universe they have mastered... But these things are ultimately impossible to achieve results.

Zhao Lan breathed rapidly, and it took a long time to get rid of the questions in his mind.

Li Yunfan looked at Zhao Lan tenderly and said softly: "Stop thinking about those problems, okay? Compared with these illusory things, I think cherishing our limited life is the most important thing."

"Answer my last question." Zhao Lan said with struggle: "Why did you bring this black hole back to the earth in the first place? Don't you know how dangerous it is to the earth?"

Li Yunfan's expression was full of helplessness: "I did make a mistake in this matter... At that time, my self-confidence was too inflated, and I thought that there would be no accidents with this black hole in my hands. Secondly, at that time, I wanted to When necessary, use this black hole as a bargaining chip to blackmail the human government into surrendering to me... In fact, in the final analysis, vanity is at work. You think, with a black hole in my hand, I can destroy the entire earth at any time as long as I want. This is about Dorawind. Of course, now. I no longer have such thoughts, and fortunately the black hole did not cause any trouble on the earth. "

Zhao Lan couldn't help rolling his eyes, and couldn't help but outline in his mind the image of an arrogant young man who said, "I am the biggest in the world."

"This matter should be over by now." Zhao Lan thought, "The Star Disaster is over, Li Yunfan is back, and most of my questions have been answered. The remaining questions... I'm afraid I'll have to look for them all my life. There are no answers. Don’t waste your energy thinking about them anymore, and leave these unsolved mysteries to future generations of human beings to answer.”

Three months later.

The head of state fulfilled his promise as promised. While attending the wedding of Li Yunfan and Zhao Lan in person, he also brought a large number of media reporters. What makes Zhao Lan a little funny is that the head of state actually arranged for Li Yunfan to be a "thaw man", claiming that Li Yunfan was frozen hundreds of years ago, and then was the first person in human history to "thaw and resurrect". "History", and fictionalized a very touching love story between Thaw and a modern beautiful scientist, which was widely publicized through various media. As a result, the public's interest was successfully aroused, and a large number of media reporters naturally flocked to the event.

When Li Yunfan and Zhao Lan stood side by side to welcome the guests, the head of state was the first person to come over and shake hands with Li Yunfan. Zhao Lan heard it very clearly. When shaking hands with the head of state, Li Yunfan said through gritted teeth: "You are the one who thawed, and your whole family is all thawed!"

The Führer still kept smiling. But the words were not so pleasant: "You have fooled me for so long, this time, it is me who will fool you."

The conversation between the two lasted only a moment. After just two sentences, the two held hands and smiled together while facing the media reporters taking pictures. So this scene was permanently recorded, and the next day It made headlines in major media. The headline was "The head of state personally attended the first wedding in history between Thaw and the beautiful scientist Zhao Lan. He also shook hands cordially with Thaw."

The Galaxy-class spacecraft promised by the head of state was successfully delivered to Li Yunfan and Zhao Lan after modification. This spacecraft originally required at least a hundred people to operate it, but after modifications. Only one person is needed to operate it. Of course, many of its original functions are no longer available. But those functions were developed for combat, and neither Li Yunfan nor Zhao Lan could use those functions.

After getting the spacecraft, the two quickly decided to go on an expedition to Pluto as their honeymoon. But in the Earth Port, Zhao Lan was reluctant to board the spacecraft, but seemed to be waiting for someone there.

Li Yunfan kept urging, but Zhao Lan still refused to set off. It wasn't until three people running over panting from a distance carrying large and small bags that a smile appeared on Zhao Lan's face.

Only when he got closer did Li Yunfan see clearly that the three people were An Liya, Cruz, and Zhou Xiaoming.

Li Yunfan's face quickly fell, and he shouted angrily: "Hey! Tyrannosaurus, Baldy, Keyboard! What are you three doing here! This is my honeymoon trip with Zhao Lan, why are you here to join in the fun! "

Zhou Xiaoming said with a smile: "Boss, this Galaxy-class spaceship is so big and has so many rooms. Don't worry, the three of us will definitely hide in the corner and will never disturb you and Zhao Lan's good things."

An Liya rolled her eyes at Zhou Xiaoming and shouted: "What are you talking nonsense about? It's obvious that we couldn't bear to be separated from the boss for such a long time, so we went to all the trouble and gave up our own affairs to explore Pluto with the boss, okay?" "

Cruise also said with a smile: "That's right, boss, you promised that no matter when we come to see you, you and Zhao Lan will welcome us. Now, boss, you are not going to regret it, are you?"

Li Yunfan's face was full of helplessness: "So you have already planned it... Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get on the boat, we are about to set off."

An Liya and the three of them cheered together, and Zhao Lan also had a smile on his face: "Don't forget, I am also a member of the adventurer team. Now our adventurer team has finally gathered together. So... we still have What are you waiting for? Let’s go and start the adventure of our adventurer team!”

"Let's go, let's go!" (To be continued ~^~)
