Earth Era

No matter who is asked to comment, they will all comment on the fact that "there was once a super alien civilization that used the solar system as a battlefield 500 to 600 million years ago, and carried out a vast and protracted war in the solar system." Feeling scared, feeling creepy. This is something completely beyond human imagination, and this matter will also lead to more other questions, such as: "What if the super alien civilization came to the solar system five to six hundred million years ago and was here If such a war is fought, how will our solar system be affected?"

Another example: "What did they do to our solar system? In other words, did they do anything to our earth? You know, there was already simple life on the earth at that time, so, they What role does it play in the emergence of us humans? Is there any relationship between us... and them?"

Any one of these things is enough to have a huge impact on the values ​​​​and worldview of modern human civilization. If it is finally concluded that human civilization is nothing more than the seeds of life sown by other civilizations, or that it is a guinea pig, many people's worldview will collapse. Or, instead of talking about these things, just ask this question: "Do they still exist now? What level of technology have they reached now? Are they... still secretly monitoring our human civilization?"

It is foreseeable that if this matter is announced in human civilization, its power will be no less than detonating a nuclear bomb above the capital of the earth. Conspiracy theories will prevail, religions will resurgence, people will become panicked, and society will be turbulent... The source of all this is because of this incident, that is, there was a super alien civilization 500 to 600 million years ago. A huge war took place with the solar system as the battlefield.

This matter weighed on Wei Feng's heart like a heavy stone. Wei Feng desperately wanted to figure out what was going on, but he couldn't rush the matter. The most likely scenario is that until Wei Feng exhausts his own life, and even the entire human civilization exhausts its own life. The truth of this matter cannot be revealed.

That's a long time of hundreds of millions of years... Anything can happen during such a long time. Even since human civilization has been recorded in writing, the history of thousands of years ago has not been fully understood by humans. How could it be easy to figure out something that happened hundreds of millions of years ago?

Silence returned to the control cabin, and Wei Feng looked at the things in the vacuum-sealed box without taking his eyes off him for a long time. After a long time, Wei Feng waved his hand and said: "Put these things away and keep them well. If we can return to Earth one day, we will hand them over to the government for research."

"Okay." Ye Luo responded, controlling the cart-type robot to put away the sealed box, and then asked: "Do you want to read the letter sent to you by the Earth now? Or...do you need to take a rest?"

"Cook me something to eat." Wei Feng said, "Then I want to take a good rest. I still feel a little uncomfortable."

"Okay Captain, if you can sleep quietly, you may feel better." Ye Luo said.

Hibernation is not the same as sleep, sleep is rest, and hibernation is similar to suspending all physiological processes of the human body. Obviously it has no resting effect. If you hibernate for a long time, it will cause serious damage to the human body.

Wei Feng ate something, then lay down on the soft and comfortable bed under Ye Luo's arrangement, and fell asleep quietly in the only oasis in this dark and far-reaching universe.

After waking up, Wei Feng felt that his condition had recovered a little. After some restorative exercise. Taking advantage of the break, Wei Feng came to his personal computer. And opened the letters sent from Earth.

At this moment, more than twenty long years have passed since Wei Feng left the earth, and the Xinghai spacecraft has sailed a distance of nearly two trillion kilometers. This means that the one-way communication between the satellite and the earth will take almost two months, and the question and answer will take four months.

It didn't go beyond Wei Feng's expectations. Those letters were sent by his "classmates". They are keeping their promise, recording events that occur in human civilization from the perspective of a bystander, and then transmitting these things to Wei Feng.

The first letter was a response to my reply ten years ago. There was no specific description of anything in this letter. Wei Feng read it and put it in the back of his mind. There are seventeen letters in total, except this one. The remaining sixteen chapters all record some major or anecdotal events. But among these sixteen things. Only two items caught Wei Feng's attention.

"Wei Feng, do you still remember the situation when the Xinghai spacecraft set sail? At that time, almost everyone in the entire civilization was watching us, and every move we made affected people's hearts. But I have to say, we Humans are a race that is good at forgetting. All information, no matter how exciting it is, is timely for the public. After this period, no one will pay attention to it. Unfortunately, our island plan has not been able to escape. This fate. People are gradually forgetting us. Not many people remember that a spaceship left our home galaxy more than ten years ago and embarked on a long interstellar journey alone."

"I feel very sad. We have dedicated our lives to this project, but the end result is that people are gradually forgetting us. I am very afraid that if in a few hundred years, we are completely forgotten, no one will come again. If no one pays attention to us and remembers us, what will our fate be like?”

This is indeed a very sad thing, but Wei Feng has long been mentally prepared to face this situation. Wei Feng never expected to be remembered from the beginning. But when this situation really started to happen, Wei Feng still felt a little sad in his heart.

Wei Feng sighed, left his seat and came to the porthole of the spacecraft, looking at the bright star in the distance through the glass. Wei Feng knew that there were hundreds of billions of his own kind living around that star. It was the place where he was born and lived, and it carried all his memories, whether they were warm or cold. Happy or sad, it's all there.

Now, I am in distant space two trillion kilometers away. It takes four months to communicate with the earth at a time, and as time goes by, this distance will continue to expand. It's always dark and void here, and I'm the only one. Where I am concerned about, the people there are forgetting me.

"When I left the earth, when I stepped into the hibernation cabin, I was destined to be forgotten. They can enjoy this era to their heart's content, but we time travelers can only stand in a The perspective of a bystander cannot be integrated into it. But... there is always someone who has to bear this responsibility, right?" Wei Feng said this to himself silently, and then returned to his seat again.

There are only two short sentences left in this letter, the first of which is: "Fortunately, society has not changed much yet, everything we are familiar with still exists here, and we have not been abandoned by the times yet. .”

The second paragraph only has one sentence, "Oh, by the way, Keller died. It was said to be an interstellar traffic accident. A meteorite hit his car. He and his entourage, a total of thirty-seven people, were all buried in space. "

The letter ended here, but Wei Feng felt a little ripple in his heart.

Keller was the name of the head of state who originally determined to carry out the island plan. Counting from now on, it will be almost forty years until he steps down as head of state. Wei Feng also heard about Keller's life after leaving office and knew that he had become an artist and had a high reputation in human society.

The description of Keller's death in this letter is very simple, just like accidentally mentioning whose pet died in casual chat. But Wei Feng felt something unusual from this simple description.

Meteor attack... For today's human civilization, is it possible for a meteorite attack to destroy a spacecraft?

Wei Feng felt sorry for Keller's death, but also felt a little confused. There seemed to be many things hidden behind this matter, but Wei Feng was not a politician and could not decipher more information from here. The sense of isolation brought about by the vast distance in time and space also made Wei Feng feel that Keller's death seemed very far away.

That was something that happened in my distant hometown. What does it have to do with my current self?

Wei Feng shook his head and put the matter out of his mind. Even if this matter is unusual, it is not something I can interfere with. I am just a time traveler who is about to be forgotten.

The second letter was written by Chu Hai and was sent three months ago. Of course, due to communication delays, I just received it a month ago.

"Hello, Wei Feng. Let me tell you an unfortunate thing. Recently, a scientist claimed that the upper limit of the speed of a conventional thrust spacecraft is 1.5% of the speed of light, which is 4,500 kilometers per second. This conclusion Although it has not yet been recognized, a large number of scholars already support this conclusion.” (To be continued~^~)
