Chapter 180

Hao Zhizheng lowered his hair and was stunned. When he heard 27883 say, he fled. He suddenly raised his head as if he had lit something.

"You... What did you say?" Hao Zhi's eyes lit up.

"Shh..." 27883 made a gesture to make him quiet and looked at the food on the ground. "Eat first. If you don't recover your strength, you can't do anything! Synthetic carbohydrate food tastes worse. I have to bear it every time I eat it!"

Hao Zhi looked at Wang Yanke. She smiled and nodded to him to support him to eat. Then she stretched out her dirty hand, grabbed the food like mashed potatoes on the iron plate and took a big bite.

Even the taste is like mashed potatoes, but it's a little bitter. It doesn't taste salty, and even has a sour taste. Hao Zhi almost wants to spit it out. But thinking that he hasn't eaten for three or four days, he needs to recover his strength urgently, so he has to bear to shove it into his mouth and swallow it.

"It's terrible, isn't it? Just look at your expression..." 27883 smiled. "Can you imagine that we've been eating this kind of thing for 500 years?"

Five hundred years? Hao Zhi tried his best to swallow the food stuck in his throat, while repeating each other's words with difficulty.

"Yes, in the end, it was really a kind of mental torture. I almost forgot what the taste of natural food was. I ate the fruit of fresh plants with dew or the meat of some carbon based organisms once when I was very young. It was really a long memory and almost erased."

You've been flying in space for 500 years? Hao Zhi asked in surprise.

"Yes, we started from the moment we knew the existence of the earth. Of course, if we kept moving at 1% of the speed of light, it might take us more than 1000 years to arrive. Fortunately, we didn't give up the research on propeller improvement in the first 200 years, and we kept accelerating. Finally, we increased the original speed a lot, and it didn't take much time to finish most of the journey However, how long it takes to accelerate requires the same deceleration process, otherwise the whole spacecraft will be torn to pieces by its own inertia. In short... The whole process took 500 years. "

Wang Yanke listened attentively and quickly converted in his heart: "that is to say, your planet is about 10 light-years away from the earth?"

"Almost. It's a short, but not short journey."

"You just said that you have reached one tenth of the speed of light? That is to say, you have reached the level of fairy civilization. According to the wise man EK, your civilization should pursue the edge and ultimate mystery of the universe and should not invade the earth!" Wang Yanke asked him.

27883 smiled: "how can it be so fast? The actual navigation ability of blood moon civilization can only reach 1% of the speed of light, far from reaching the strength of fairy civilization!"

"But you said you had reached one tenth of the speed of light in your voyage, didn't you?"

"Oh, you misunderstood. I mean, finally reaching one tenth of the speed of light does not mean the autonomous navigation speed of the blood moon spacecraft. The speed standard you said to measure the level of civilization is the navigation speed that a spacecraft can achieve independently without borrowing any external force. According to this division, the blood moon is still far from..."

"However, if the maximum speed of your blood moon spacecraft is only 1% of the speed of light, how did you cross the limit and increase its speed by 10 times? It seems unlikely..." Wang Yanke expressed his puzzlement.

"Oh, it depends on external forces. When the blood moon spacecraft set out, there were 50 ships. Only one ship reached the earth... The rest became victims of acceleration. If you follow this method, you humans can easily break through the speed of light by 1% or even higher with current technology..."

"Victims of acceleration?" Hao Zhi didn't understand. "Are the other 49 ships just used to transport fuel? When they ran out, they were abandoned?"

"Ha, it's not as simple as you think... In fact, it's just a very simple physical application, as long as you..." 27883 suddenly got stuck here and shut up like thinking of something. "These belong to the secrets of civilization itself. I'm not convenient to elaborate."

"Oh..." Wang Yanke frowned and thought for a moment. He couldn't guess what kind of technology it was, so he had to give up.

Hao Zhi doesn't care so much. After eating something like pig food on his hand, he licked his fingers and exclaimed, it's really terrible. If I had to eat this for 500 years, I'd better die

"The food on your earth must be much better than this?" 27883 asked him with envy.

That's for sure. Hao Zhi broke his fingers and began to count. Braised meat skin and shrimps, spicy hot KFC, Tianfu hot pot, Xinjiang meat kebab, said 27883 straightly. He walked slowly to him and raised one hand. Hao Zhi noticed that his palm was full of wriggling suction cups, which looked disgusting.

"Do you mind..." he asked Hao Zhi softly.

Hao Zhi didn't know what he was going to do, but it didn't seem like he was going to hurt himself, so he gritted his teeth and nodded. 27883 got permission. He gently pressed his palm on Hao Zhi's forehead. The big suction cup waves pressed close to his forehead. Hao Zhi only felt like being hypnotized. Some electric current that made him feel very comfortable passed through his scalp, The roots of the hair stood up.

For a moment, 27883 was reading the things in his memory, the vast fields and deserts, the prosperous cities and splendid culture, the beautiful scenery at different latitudes, the white poles, the Black Mountains, the red maple leaves and the blue sky, the beauty of colorful changes in the four seasons, showing the spring and autumn fruits, summer flowers and winter snow in turn, Everything about the earth unfolds before his eyes like a magnificent picture. Of course, this also includes the memory of those beautiful food Hao Zhi ate, the love for beautiful girls, the warmth in the sun and the freshness in the autumn wind

For a long time, no one spoke and fell into silence for a long time.

27883's eyes are wet. As a creature who has lived in this steel closed ball for 500 years, he saw a planet's respect for life for the first time. Those leisurely lives on the earth live on their own territory. They live in harmony with nature, enjoy the gifts of the universe and contribute their life experience.

It turns out that being born in this world is not just to work hard every day and carefully prevent yourself from falling to the last in the population. The life of blood moon people has been highly institutionalized and mechanized. Everyone is just a small part in the blood moon spacecraft. They repeat boring but accurate work for many years without joy, No pain, not even numbness, only repetition, forever repetition

"What a beautiful civilization... Although primitive, it has enviable innocence and beauty. You have all the best things given by the universe, mild climate, vast forests, thick sea and mother like land... Your planet is so gentle and beautiful, warm and comfortable like a newborn baby's swaddle. You are lucky to evolve and grow in such an environment Long, I envy you. Your civilization respects the importance of each individual and never ignores individual feelings for the overall development of civilization. Those wonderful works of art, paintings, literature, film and television are the expression of personal spiritual world, which is unimaginable in our view! "27883 showed infinite longing in his eyes

"Unfortunately, this civilization has been destroyed by you! At least, it will be destroyed soon!" Hao Zhi sighed.

"No! No! This is the gift of the God of the universe. There must be a purpose to make such a brilliant civilization in this cold and dark space. It should not end here!" 27883 whispered in a dreamy voice.

"Maybe you will be the same as us when you come to an environment like the earth!" Wang Yanke turned his eyes and said from the side.

"Impossible!" 27883 smiled miserably, "Our civilization never pays attention to individual needs. The development of technology has long abandoned the yearning for harmony and beauty. In addition to survival, everything is no longer meaningful. For us, the spiritual world is just some information composed of specific nerve conduction. It has lost the beauty of literature and art as early as thousands of years ago, leaving only the cold scientific and technological framework. Compared with you, we It is more like an ant. The existence or death of every ant is not respected. The only meaning of its life is to serve the whole civilization. In its whole life, it has not done a meaningful thing for itself. Work is all we have! "

"That's why you can be so strong!" Wang Yanke praised him with admiration.

27883 smile and shake your head, strong?

The strength of survivability does not mean the strength of a civilization itself. If a species is only evaluated according to the simple adaptation to the environment and ethnic continuity, then the most powerful race on your earth should be cockroaches rather than humans.

The blood moon civilization has long lost many of the characteristics originally marked by the word "civilization". It is barbaric and degenerate, just as powerful as a killing machine!

The first element of civilization should be respect for life. In addition, it does not deserve to be called "civilization"!

The only activity of our civilization is to grab resources, consume energy and maintain the normal operation of the spacecraft. It never makes mistakes and is not allowed to make mistakes. Like a strict physical formula, it is cold and innocent. It is extremely cold and ruthless not only for the slain, but also for our own children. We grass-roots individuals, from birth to death There is no name, but there is nothing left after thousands of years of long life, and no one will even think about the "meaning of existence" Such philosophical problems as like as two peas, no ideals, no dreams, no self cognition, even if they have thousands of years of longevity, they are empty and not good. In one thousand years, they are equal to three hundred and sixty thousand identical days. In the recollection, only after waking up, the repetitive work, downloading the group's memory information, eating, and then entering more repetitive work, even with other students. The desire to talk has been lost

In fact, compared with you, human beings have a longer life. Our life is only one day, the day that will be repeated forever!

Such a civilization should not destroy such a splendid culture as the earth civilization! Absolutely not! This will not be the result that the God of the universe is happy to see

27883 speaking of this, he turned to Hao Zhi and whispered, "I want to help you..."

"Help us? Help us what? Get out?"

no I want to help you overcome the blood moon civilization!

Hao Zhi's mouth opened to the maximum. He could hardly believe his ears. God, is this true?

Yes, the 27883's face darkened, and he looked anxiously at the huge blood moon made of steel outside the prison, the cold world made of metal: "For you, I am an old man of 600 or 700 years old. Just like this blood moon spacecraft, it has gradually changed its original appearance and deviated from its original dream after five hundred years of wandering and five hundred years of empty and lonely space voyage

In fact, when the blood moon civilization first knew that there were other life planets in the universe, it was full of joy and encouragement. We rushed to the earth with peace and expectation in the midst of flowers and clusters, in order to have a civilized party. However, in the long journey, the blood moon lost contact with the parent planet. It experienced too much loneliness and fear and faced spiritual collapse countless times And the threat of death, it finally realized the ruthlessness of the universe. Like an abandoned sand grain, it seems to drift endlessly in the dark ocean of the universe. For some time, our civilization even forgot the existence of the earth. The journey is too long, leading us to lose our original destination.

The softness that belongs to the heart of the blood moon people is gradually smoothed by the mechanical work day after day and year after year, leaving only the pure desire for survival and the fragility of the individual, which leads to the sad mood in the face of the long empty years. Gradually, the thoughts download into a common idea, and gradually spread from a few to all citizens.

You may not be able to experience that kind of despair, like falling into an endless abyss, falling all the way down, falling all the way down, falling into endless darkness. Behind the journey is a longer journey, behind the emptiness is a bigger emptiness. You struggle to survive, until in the end, you forget what you want to survive for

Gradually, we are tired of this boring life, tired of this endless repetition, like a nightmare that keeps the cycle unchanged and can never wake up. We live with the hope of a better world after waking up, until the beauty that refuses to come eventually turns into a mockery and mockery of our dreams. We begin to hate what we expect until the voyage suddenly ends Beam, the earth appears in front of everyone like a heaven, and the anger that has been abused and ridiculed for 500 years suddenly erupts. Therefore, the only thing left is habit, used to loneliness, used to endless loneliness, change makes everyone feel fear, and the only thing left is the impulse to destroy this heaven by yourself.

Wang Yanke suddenly asked softly, "did you have your own name before you embarked on this journey?"

27883 looked up and seemed to be trying to search for something in the memory. It belonged to the long memory of 500 years ago. It was mottled like a cracked old building. Layers of ash fell down, revealing two words.

He suddenly remembered and said to Wang Yanke in surprise, "I remember. My name is Xingchen!"
