The Secret History of Mars

"Elder Cang Xi is the Nuwa Empress in the mythology. Who are Elder Banquan and Elder Ji Xuan?" Cui Xingmeng asked.

"Elder Banquan is Chi You. Since he tried to drain the earth's resources and return to Mars from the beginning, our myths and stories don't like him. Either he is extremely cruel, or he died without a complete body." Jia Liang Mingming said with his own preferences, "Elder Ji Xuan is the Yellow Emperor. I don't need to say more about this ancestor-like figure. Since he, Elder Yan, and Elder Banquan have had some incidents on the earth, After a conflict, stay on the neutral side, check and balance the game, and avoid major wrong decisions."

"You really don't regard yourself as an outsider in our fairy tale." Yuan Yizhou looked at the young boy and said jokingly.

"Of course, I am not an outsider in the first place. Three generations of our ancestors have been Earthlings. To say the least, these myths and stories are the common memories and wealth of Mars and Earth! We are not just referring to Earthlings. There are also peace-loving Martians, we are the Fireland Alliance!" Jia Liang said confidently.

Being Yuan Yizhou's childhood friend for so many years, although it was a preset task, he couldn't explain clearly. His feelings for Yuan Yizhou were simple. The seed recruiter's care for the seed really made him feel like a brother. If it's just the former, then what does his feelings for Lin Die mean?

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Before Chief Designer Ye comes back, we have to finish reading this information crystal!" When Jia Liang thought about this, his brain ached when he was entangled with incomparable problems more than once. It's better to live in the present. Maybe as his information level increases, he will slowly find the answers to these questions, he thought to himself.

Yuan Yizhou saw Jia Liang's confusion. Maybe not knowing the answer might not be a kind of happiness. If Jia Liang knew that the emotional reaction between him and Lin Die was just a partial genetic fragment and would never have the results he wanted, would he feel better than the current situation of asking for nothing but not getting it? Yuan Yizhou asked himself in his heart. Not necessarily, just let nature take its course. Yuan Yizhou made up his mind and kept silent.

The information crystal has been fully activated during the chat between several people. Jia Liang took advantage of the situation and operated on the reading table. A holographic 4D movie slowly unfolded in the space between the fabric sofa where the three of them were sitting around and the white wall opposite.

"Countdown to Mars is 5,635 years, Pleistocene 11,000 years of Earth experiments, actual records of the Mars Council of Elders." A standard female voice slowly announced the time and place.

"The Pleistocene is the chronology before the Earth's Stone Age. The Pleistocene was recorded in this record. It ended 500 years later, and then the Stone Age began." Jia Liang explained, fearing that Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng wouldn't listen. Understand, "The Pleistocene is the chronology of the Presbyterian Council's selection of the next mainstream species on earth after the extinction of the dinosaurs. At that time, Elder Cangxi only defined a class of mammals, with specific orders, families, genus, and species. The Presbyterian Council has always The debate continues." Yuan Yizhou nodded to express his understanding. This happened before Nuwa's five-color stone patched the sky.

"Our two major escape strategies, first, to move Mars activities underground; second, to sow the seeds of Martian species to the Earth for re-evolution, are already being carried out in an orderly manner. But our real escape plan' interstellar travel 'But the progress is slow!" A creature with a face like an ox beast, a horn on its head, and a pair of wings on its back roared.

Cui Xingmeng was startled by the image that suddenly popped up in front of her eyes. If the voice hadn't been so real, it would have been hard for her to believe that it was a Martian or a monster from a mythical story. Jia Liang pressed the pause button at the right time and explained, "This is Elder Banquan. No wonder people on earth don't like him. Although the popular carriers at that time were more fancy, he didn't pay too much attention to his image and chose such an ugly one. of."

"Is he Chi You?" Yuan Yizhou asked, "The leader of your return faction?"

"Yes, what the returnists advocate in the Escape Era is to vigorously develop interstellar travel technology. This will enable interstellar expansion and expand the scope of resource plunder to obtain enough energy to rebuild Mars." Jia Liang replied, "Elder Banquan just said Of the two mentioned strategies, one is advocated by Elder Ji Xuan of the neutral faction, which is to transfer the main social activities of Martians underground to preserve the vitality of Mars and the seeds of civilization as much as possible; the other is supported by elders of the pioneer faction , cultivating carriers with the ability to evolve on the earth. These two strategies have always been criticized by the returnists led by Elder Sakazumi as cowardly actions and without the spirit of a king."

Yuan Yizhou nodded to express his understanding and motioned to Jia Liang to continue playing.

"For thousands of years, our spacecraft has been able to rise and fall on Mars without any problems, but with the gravity and chemical energy of the Earth, it is completely impossible to escape, and our spacecraft has never returned." Elder Sakaizumi continued to roar, Opposite him there were several shadows whispering to each other.

"Elder Sakaizumi, your statement is not accurate. Our A-class spacecraft can still take off from the earth and return to Mars." The speaker was an old man with fair hair and a childish face, and an air of immortality.

Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng looked at each other. This should be Elder Ji Xuan, our Xuanyuan Huangdi! The founder of Chinese civilization is indeed worthy of his reputation. The sky is square and the earth is round, and his words are perfect!

"It takes eight lifetimes to make a round trip, and the daylily is cold!" Elder Banquan's words were very vulgar, which made Cui Xingmeng feel a little uncomfortable.

"Then what do you want?" The speaker this time was a man with long flowing hair who looked exactly like Yuan Yizhou. Cui Xingmeng looked at his lover and then at the holographic projection, thinking that at that time, the Martians' aesthetics were really unflattering. What kind of carrier did Elder Bao Xi choose? There were still scales on his body! It's still my Yizhou that looks pleasing to the eye, so I wasted such a face.

"I need the approval of the Council of Elders to develop nuclear energy and particle engine plans to accelerate our flight at the speed of light." Elder Sakazumi seemed to be waiting for Bao Xi's words, and immediately answered in a normal tone.

"Your plan has been reviewed by the Council of Elders. It is to drain the little energy we have on Mars. Once it starts, it will accelerate the cooling of the star core. If you fail, the Martian civilization will have a dead end. The experiments on Earth have not yet achieved Before a breakthrough is made, this is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the egg and destroying oneself!" Elder Bao Xi said tit for tat.

"Since we can't continue talking, then I ask the Elders Council to vote!" Elder Sakazumi resumed his roaring tone.

The video automatically fast-forwarded, and when it returned to normal speed, the clerk of the Presbytery was announcing the voting results: 3 votes in favor, 5 votes against, and 1 abstention! The proposal did not pass.

Elder Sakazumi slammed the door angrily and walked out.

Image Chapter 1 is over! What the holographic image solidified in the space was Elder Sakazumi's stout figure with two horns and the pair of wings behind his back.
