Earth Era

Before Head Keller's encrypted message was played out at this moment, Wei Feng had actually already determined the cause of the final demise of the Martian civilization through the letter left by the Martian. But Chief Keller didn’t know that Wei Feng already knew, so when Chief Keller finally said, “Based on our research, we believe that... the Martian civilization finally perished because it encountered a dead end.” , Wei Feng's heart did not rise.

Now, after it is confirmed that Head of State Keller also knows about this matter, the origin of the isolated island plan is much easier to explain and more reasonable. With the lessons learned from Martian civilization out there, Head of State Keller naturally has to do something to resolve the "dead knot". It was against this background that the Island Project was promoted with such intensity by Head of State Keller. It’s just that Wei Feng still doesn’t understand the connection between the Gudao Project and untying the knot.

Wei Feng was still looking at the shadow of Head Keller silently and listening quietly.

"The Martian civilization finally ended the war after turning the solar system into purgatory, but the Martian civilization at this moment has also declined to the extreme because of the war. They need a peaceful and peaceful place to recuperate, and the solar system at this moment is no longer suitable for survival. In order to ensure the continuation of their civilization... they chose to use all the strength of civilization to embark on an interstellar voyage. And their voyage destination... is the same as the Island Project, the Xinghai spacecraft and your destination. That’s the Nanmen Two-Three-Star System.”

Head of State Keller was still narrating in a faint voice: "Mars civilization is based on black hole engine technology and has acquired the ability to travel between stars by transforming giant battleships left over from the war era. This is an interstellar voyage in which the life and death of the entire civilization is a bet. Voyage, if the bet wins, the Martian civilization will continue, if the bet loses... the Martian civilization will disappear from the universe."

“We don’t know the ending of the story. We don’t know whether the Martian civilization’s interstellar voyage was successful or not. We don’t have any evidence to prove or falsify this. But from a logical inference, we tend to believe that the Martian civilization will eventually perish. Because obviously, after the Martian civilization left the solar system until our human civilization finally developed, we have not seen any traces indicating that the Martian civilization returned to the solar system. And if the Martian civilization finally develops, This situation is basically impossible.”

"Of course. We cannot rule out the possibility that the Martian civilization has continued, but has been unable to achieve technological breakthroughs, or that the level of civilization has been maintained at an extremely low level, resulting in the Martian civilization not being able to return to the solar system. But we believe that, This possibility is extremely small, and the eventual demise of Martian civilization is extremely likely.”

"So... Wei Feng. Do you know what this means?" The head of state said quietly, "This means that the Martian civilization has a great possibility of leaving behind a large amount of civilization creations and scientific data in the Nanmen II galaxy... …Because it was an interstellar voyage that lasted for thousands of years, and the fate of the entire civilization was a bet. In order to avoid the fate of the ultimate destruction of civilization, the remaining scientists of the Martian civilization will definitely work hard to research technology, and they will definitely fight. We are determined to collect various observation data...and...the real purpose of the Gudao Project is to get these things back."

"This is scientific data obtained at the expense of the entire Martian civilization. The Martian civilization may no longer have the ability to analyze this data and study relevant data. But our human civilization is different. Our human civilization still has a huge population base and a complete system Scientific research system, if we can obtain this information, we have a great possibility to break the deadlock. We will gain the ability to conduct large-scale interstellar voyages."

The head of state paused when he said this, and only looked at Wei Feng with soft but firm eyes. It seemed to be leaving Wei Feng time to think.

Wei Feng let out a long sigh and then stood up.

By now, Wei Feng no longer had any doubts about the Gudao plan. Wei Feng fully understood the intentions of President Keller and the truth about the isolated island plan. At the same time, Wei Feng believed that this plan was probably feasible. If everything went well, if he really obtained those Martian civilization and other artifacts from the ruins of Martian civilization. If the technology developed or the observation data collected is at the cost of the demise of the entire civilization, it is indeed possible for human civilization to finally break the knot. Of course, this depends on the fact that human civilization still has a complete scientific research system.

But... the reality is far crueler than what Head Keller originally imagined. Because human civilization did not maintain peace for another thousand years as Head of State Keller expected. Instead, a large-scale civil war broke out shortly after the death of Führer Keller. Wei Feng didn't know what the situation was in the solar system at this moment, but Wei Feng knew that many people must have died and many resources must have been eliminated by the war.

So...even if I really obtain those materials, will human civilization after the war really have the ability to analyze and develop them?

"I hope it's not too late, I hope that before I go back, human civilization has not attacked the sun... As long as it has not attacked the sun, as long as the sun is not affected, the solar system is not affected, even if the population of human civilization is reduced to one percent of what it was before the war. , we all still have hope. Because the peaceful sun can provide a thriving environment for the weak human civilization after the entire war. As long as there is enough time, human civilization will still develop. In this way, people can analyze these data , before encountering the dead knot again, break the dead knot..."

Among them, the most critical point is not to attack the sun. If the original Martian civilization had not attacked the sun, the Martian civilization after the war would still be able to recuperate in the solar system, and then the Martian civilization might not have to perish. And...if human civilization takes action against the sun, then human civilization will have to be like the Martian civilization and embark on an interstellar voyage with the fate of the entire civilization as a bet, and there is a probability of up to 99%. Perish in this universe.

This is a very simple truth, so simple that almost anyone can understand it. But war does not depend on the will of individuals. Once a large-scale civil war breaks out, no one can control its direction. When the war reaches its climax, there will definitely be war madmen, and there will be people who will throw strategic weapons into the sun regardless of all costs...

If you want me to die, then everyone will die together. The logic is that simple.

Just like people know that taking drugs is a dead end, but they always pick up syringes again and again. Just like people know that smoking is chronic suicide, but they always pick up cigarettes again and again. Just like people know that staying up late will hurt your health. body. But I always feel nostalgic for various electronic devices again and again. All intelligent life has a self-destruct gene, and this. It is the same whether it is Martian civilization or human civilization.

"I hope we can still make it in time." Wei Feng once again sighed at the shadow of Head of State Keller.

If the "dead knot" is the same for all intelligent civilizations in the universe, then there must be many star systems that fell into eternal silence after developing intelligent civilizations and eventually perishing, and will never be able to give birth to truly capable interstellar voyages. civilization.

But human civilization is lucky, and Wei Feng has always believed in this. Because two intelligent civilizations can develop one after another in a small solar system, and both of them are troubled by deadlocks. But the most important thing is that human civilization is the second civilization to appear. Before human civilization, there was a high probability that the Martian civilization had left behind key data that could break the deadlock at the expense of its own civilization. This is equivalent to the fact that originally human civilization was facing a high wall that could never be overcome, but... The Martian civilization has used its own corpses as materials to build a ladder under this high wall. As long as human civilization spends more effort, it can cross the high wall and break the deadlock by walking down this ladder. How lucky is this?

Wei Feng thought that there must be many civilizations in this universe that are also suffering from the knot. And if these civilizations knew the situation of human civilization... they would definitely be so envious that they would be willing to exchange it at any price. But what a pity it would be if such a lucky situation was wasted because human civilization finally attacked the sun?

It's all because of the war. But according to the laws of historical development. War is inevitable. This seems like another dead end, except. The intensity of this knot is much lower. This is enough to make Wei Feng feel a little lucky: "I hope our human civilization can be lucky again this time..."

Leader Keller has completely told Wei Feng the reason and truth of the isolated island project, and also let Wei Feng know what his real mission to Nanmen II is - to find the remains of Martian civilization that may exist in the Nanmen II system. , collect scientific data and information on interstellar voyages that they may leave behind, and then bring them back to Earth to help human civilization break the deadlock. It's just that the message left by Head of State Keller does not seem to be over yet. Head of State Keller still seems to have something to say.

The shadow of Head of State Keller did not freeze. Head of State Keller was just silent. He lowered his head slightly and seemed to be thinking about something. The video equipment from hundreds of years ago completely and truly recorded the image of Führer Keller. He led them through hundreds of years of time, and then completely appeared in front of Wei Feng. This image was so vivid that Wei Feng could clearly feel the ambivalence of Head of State Keller at this moment.

It seemed that the words were very difficult to say.

But Chief Keller finally opened his mouth: "...Wei Feng. The above is your official task. Next, I have an unofficial task for you to do."

Wei Feng listened quietly, while Chief Keller continued: "Help me find traces of a person. If you can meet him in the Nanmen II galaxy... If you can, please bring him back to Earth. "

"Huh?" Although he knew that the image of Head of State Keller in front of him was just an image, Wei Feng still couldn't help but made a confused voice.

"I haven't actually met him." Head Keller organized his words with some difficulty, as if he didn't know how to describe this matter. "I have only seen this person through some extremely high-level confidential documents." existence. He...he had already set out for the Nanmen II system hundreds of years before the Lonely Island Project."

When talking about this, Head of State Keller seemed to have anticipated that Wei Feng would have questions, so Head of State Keller immediately continued: "No, Wei Feng, don't ask me, I don't know who he was at that time. How can he have the ability to carry out interstellar voyages? I only know that this matter should be extremely credible, because he is an extremely magical person, he seems to know everything, and he seems to have the wisdom to see everything."

"Through those confidential documents, I know that he had accurately predicted the future trend of human civilization hundreds of years before me, and predicted the existence of the dead knot. He had an extremely profound understanding of Martian civilization long before the human government. understanding. I think... he set out for the Nanmen II system for the scientific data that Martian civilization might leave there."

"So...if you can meet him, be sure to ask him to return to the solar system and return to human civilization. If he is willing to return to the solar system and contribute his wisdom to human civilization...our human civilization It will definitely reduce many hardships in the future history.”

"This matter is indeed incredible." The phantom of Head Keller spread his hands helplessly, "But this is what it is. Even if I am the head of human civilization and the leader of hundreds of billions of people, I can Mobilizing all the resources and power in human civilization, but I still know almost nothing about him, and only know this little information about him - we don't even know his name... among those confidential documents , those who describe him will use the title of "Wise Old Man" to call him."

"So...if you can meet him in the Nanmen II system, please ask him to return to the solar system. I believe that no matter which head of state will be willing to give him the most noble treatment."

"I've finished explaining my affairs." Head of State Keller looked at Wei Feng with soft eyes, paused and then said: "Wei Feng, I wish you good luck."

After saying these words, the image of Head of State Keller was frozen there and no longer moved. After freezing for a moment, the projection equipment was turned off. Obviously, the message left by Fuhrer Keller has been played out. (To be continued ~^~)

PS: Um...Sorry, Caihong's cold has gotten worse and I've been feeling dizzy all day... I didn't plan to update today and planned to take a day off, but I was suddenly shocked to hear that Caihong's book "Earth Era" was posted on Weibo Ma Boyong received a great recommendation from Ma Boyong and gave Caihong a very high evaluation. Caihong was very excited and had a little strength, so he got up from the bed and spent more than three hours stumbling to write this chapter. ...I believe many people have heard of Ma Boyong's name. Caihong is actually one of Da's admirers. Caihong is very excited and grateful to be recommended by Ma Boyong. Here, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to Ma Boyong, thank you.
