Chapter 1318

"Achoo!"

In the underground laboratory of Jinling Institute of higher research, sitting on a bed board next to the computer, Lu Zhou suddenly sneezed without warning.

It seems that I was scared by the sneeze. The UAV with a small TV was whining from the side.

[host, do you have a cold? Do you need AI to check your body? QAQ]

"no, I'm fine," rubbed some red noses, and Lu Zhou murmured to himself, "it's estimated who is thinking about it again Let's go on. "

[OK. Q ('? ω?')

although there are still some concerns, the order of the land boat is absolute. The drone whimpering beside flies back again. Instead, the robot connected to the wall delivers a painted black virtual reality helmet to the front of the land boat.

Reaching for the streamlined helmet, the boat put it on carefully, then lay back on the soft mattress.

Now the technology is really more and more advanced. He vaguely remembers that when the phantom system was just launched, the VR helmets launched by major manufacturers were all bulky with motorcycle helmets.

Now, Huawei, rice and other enterprises have launched their own ultra-thin high-end products. After wearing them, they don't feel comfortable lying on the pillow, or even feel a metal shell on their head.

Setting the start-up time of the neural access equipment, the land boat with closed eyes silently recited a "system" in its heart, and soon entered a pure white space

……

The memory starts smoothly.

When the boat opened its eyes again, it was a grassland.

However, it is quite different from the grassland on the earth.

The grass here is blue, just like an endless ocean, shaking waist high waves in the wind blowing by. In contrast to the blue of the horizon, the sky is like a burning flame, emitting a kind of Soul-catching energy.

At the same time, on the far side of the skyline, a fiery red gas planet, many times larger than a distant star, occupies a third of the sky.

It seems that he is waiting for something. The man standing on the grassland does not move. He just looks at everything that his eyes can reach, as if he wants to engrave the beautiful scenery before dusk in his mind

The limbs could not move, but the facial features were normal. It took only half a second to figure out the situation of the land boat attached to the body like a spirit.

The earth like planet under my feet should be the satellite of a gaseous planet.

From the point of view of the wrinkle free terrain, the geological activities of this generation should not be frequent - or the geological activities of the whole planet tend to be stable. In addition, the ecosystem of this planet should also be much simpler than that of the earth, and there is no trace of artificial development.

Just then, the wind on the grassland suddenly became noisy.

Feeling the strong wind, the "land boat" could not help but close his eyes.

And almost at the same time, just when he closed his eyes, a memory that didn't belong to him flowed into his mind like a flood.

The tearing image flashed, standing in the ancient Roman ring arena, he defeated a terrible opponent with his iron blade.

Blood splashed and the picture continued to flash.

A man who looked like a referee stood in front of him, raised his hands in the cheers of the audience and declared his victory.

Next, the picture is a turn, this time not in the arena, but in a spacious hall.

A man dressed as a god servant pasted a stone with green light on his forehead, chanted a language that could not be translated even by the observer's civilization, and then placed the stone in his open palm.

From the fragmentary fragments, Lu Zhou probably figured out what the owner of this memory was, and some "story background" that happened before this memory.

First of all, from the most critical point of view, this memory does not belong to the Kalan civilization, but belongs to a group that sounds like "Parker".

They are full of fluff, generally between one meter and one meter and five meters tall, with flexible claws, strong feet and upright ears, just like the big cats that walk upright without tail.

Due to the lack of metal minerals in the parent star, it took a long time for them to move from the iron age to the industrial age. In this long period of time, they even achieved the unity of civilization in the iron age.

To enter the industrial age with a single civilization, even if it is an advantage, it is also a disadvantage for them.

Its advantage lies in the fact that the conflict within the civilization has basically ended in the cold weapon era, and the long feudal era has injected the idea of great unity and the thought of power / authority into the civilization, even though several regime changes and ups and downs have taken place during the period, the resulting agitation has also been smooth and excessive in a small range of local conflicts.It can be said that the industrial machine of Parke civilization has never really entered the military field.

Although there is a gene advocating force in their civilization, this gene has been "transcribed" in a different form from human civilization.

For example, they are more likely to solve problems through primitive cold weapon duels than through negotiations.

They are more inclined to flaunt honor than to regard morality as the criterion of restraining behavior.

For example, short life expectancy makes them look down on life and death, believe in reincarnation and afterlife Even if their science never really proved these two things.

At the same time, when reading those memory fragments, Lu Zhou noticed that there were huge clergy and aristocracy in Parker civilization.

As the spiritual leader of the clergy, a profession called the prophet plays an even more important role than the king in the rise and fall of the whole civilization.

Idealism and authoritarianism, the level of science and technology is probably in the early and middle stage of the interstellar age, the development ideas and the powerful and self closing Kalan empire are two different.

With the support of high cultural identity and the concept of great unity, they seem to have no punishment for expansion. Even before mastering the means of communication with the speed of light, the colonies and the parent star maintain unimaginable unity.

And they are more likely to migrate to distant, open, habitable planets and occupy as much land as possible - even undeveloped wastelands - than to build homes.

Just like Karan people like to breathe the metal air around the world, these lonely Paks like cats can spend a whole day in the empty prairie.

For example, the grassland planet under his feet is one of the hundreds of colonial planets of Parker civilization.

As for the body of the land boat, it's a warrior who sounds like "Nuwa". Just a few days ago, he defeated his opponent in a duel to bet on the name of God's choice and became a glorious man of God's choice.

As mentioned earlier, in the historical process of Parker civilization, the prophet plays an important role, and the man chosen by God is the right and left hand of the prophet.

The prophet "foresees the future" through a special ceremony called "spiritual ceremony", tells "the best arrangement" to the "God selected person" as the only one who knows about it, and instructs him to fulfill his mission.

In fact, when reading this memory, Lu Zhou doubted the preciseness of the ceremony and whether this kind of thing could really be predicted by this unreliable method in the future.

However, the Parker civilization seems to believe that.

Even though there were only a few times in their history, the God elect did "right things" for the benefit of the world after listening to the teachings of the prophet.

From this point of view, these fluffy guys seem to have no idea of learning from history.

but for the level of science and technology, these furry guys seem to be more advanced than human civilization. What's more, Lu Zhou has no smake complaints about their position.

At this time, the footsteps came from behind.

When Parker opened his eyes, he turned around and looked back. He saw a soft beam of light falling from the cloud, and a shadow slowly falling on the blue grassland along the light.

Gravitational rays?

Anti gravity?

Or Something he didn't know about.

Regardless of the magic technology that these Parker people use to go back and forth between the high orbit and the planet's surface, Lu Zhou followed Nuwa's line of sight, looked at the dried hair and aging Parker "walking" from that beam of light, and tried to find out the clues about this guy from the scattered memory fragments.

However, strange things happened.

In the memory of the land boat, or Nuva, there is a rather long memory about the old man, but his name never appears.

When the land boat was surprised at this strange situation, the old "cat man" suddenly spoke.

"Congratulations, a warrior named Nuva."

Humbly lowered his head, said Nuva.

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me. Everything is the will of the spirit of the universe."

The old man smiled, looked at the young man's face carefully, nodded his head gently and said, "under its guidance, the bravest of our civilization came to me. To tell you the truth, long ago, I wavered over the spiritual rites and Oracles, but now I am absolutely convinced that all these are the best arrangements. "

Nuva didn't speak, just remained humble and waited for the old man in front of him to tell the prophecy belonging to the God elect.

It's almost a convention.

However, this time, the old man didn't seem to want to say many words. After looking at him for a long time, he only used a very vague description to summarize the whole prediction, and then came up with the "best arrangement" belonging to the God elect."The natural disaster is approaching, no one is spared. There is a flame from the border to the Holy Land Your task is to go to the center of this star river and find our way out of civilization. "

Surprised by the astonishing prophecy, Nuva was stunned for two seconds and asked in a hurry.

"How do I find it --"

"Shhh."

The dried claws pressed on Nuva's lips. The old man interrupted Nuva's question, looked at him with meaningful eyes, and continued, "when you get there, you will naturally know what to do It's only your job. "

Perhaps it was listening to the old man's words, or perhaps it was obedience due to piety. Nuva nodded in silence and did not speak again.

Looking at the young man listening to his words, the old man's face showed a smile of approval.

"The ship and luggage are ready."

"I hope you can find the slim hope in the middle of this star river."

At this point, the old man suddenly stopped talking.

After a brief silence, he continued in a soothing tone.

“…… If you don't find it, you don't have to blame yourself for it. "

"Your genes, your blood, your bones, your culture, your language, everything is proof of our existence. You bear all of us. Even if the great holy land finally falls down in the disaster sweeping the universe, we will not waste our life in the long years. "

"The holy land falls? How is that possible? That natural disaster Did you see anything? No I shouldn't have asked that question. "

Muttering to himself, Nuva suddenly raised his head, put his right fist gently on his left chest, looked firmly at the old man in front of him, and promised, "I will definitely reach the center of this star river! Find a solution to the crisis! "

Hearing this oath, the old man just smiled softly.

"Don't be so confident. It's a journey of hundreds of thousands of light years. It's not just a threat from the universe itself. You may meet many tourists who are also inspired by the spirit of the universe. There are many of them who are much stronger than us, and not all of them are good minded. It is not easy to live. "

"But I believe you."

The turbid pupil is full of kindness.

Just like looking at his own child, the old man looked at him carefully as if he wanted to remember the last side forever.

Nuwa is the same, so they look at each other, and let the wind on the grassland gently blow, playing the prelude of farewell.

I don't know how many years it will take to reach the destination.

And even if we get to the end, we will never get back here.

Silently accepting the edification of the parting breath, the land boat is not brought into the plot.

So at this moment, his attention has been completely taken away by the prediction of natural disasters.

However, just as Lu Zhou was thinking hard about the clues about the natural disaster, suddenly, he found that the turbid pupil, I don't know when it started with a sharp edge.

The sharpness is not easy to detect, but its existence is so conspicuous and full of disobedience.

It's like a sharp blade, penetrating deep into the bone marrow.

I'm a bit confused about the change of the plot.

Just as Lu Zhou was thinking about why the old man suddenly looked at this "God selected man" with sharp eyes, a strange feeling suddenly climbed up his scalp.

It's hard to describe exactly what this feeling is and where it comes from.

Once again, he was in line of sight with the old man. When the boat tried to read some clues from his eyes, a terrible thought suddenly flashed through his mind, which made him react suddenly.

That old man

Look at yourself!
