When the whole Tiangong city was in a turbulent undercurrent for the whereabouts of the land boats, the Lord who walked in the former site of the gate of hell had forgotten the time.

What Europa plan.

What seminar.

Together with technology from advanced civilization, it's not worth mentioning in the eyes of land boats.

He vaguely remembered that general Reinhardt had told himself that the Martians had borrowed the ship's warp engine from him to try to rekindle the cooled core.

This plan sounds crazy. It's so crazy that no normal person can think that it's even 1% possible to succeed.

In fact, it is the same. The last glory of Martian civilization also died with the decay of the parent star.

The ship originally thought that, without the protection of high-dimensional space debris, the curved engine removed from the spacecraft, if not sent to the earth core for detonation, would mostly disintegrate with the passage of time.

General Reinhardt, however, was adamant that he could sense that the engine was still there.

And, at their feet!

“…… Since my mind was integrated with this ship, my senses have been much sharper than before. It's like a cell, or an organ, in my body. If something goes wrong with it, I'll be the first to know. "

Listening to the voice from the communication channel, Lu Zhou thought for a while, and suddenly said.

"So are you a program stored in the ship's server or a consciousness attached to the ship?"

"It's a rather interesting question. In fact, I've been thinking for a long time. At least in the last two hundred million years, I've been wondering if I'm a product of materialism Although most of my functions and permissions are given by the program, the interesting thing is that my perception of the outside world is beyond my ability. "

It seemed that he was seriously thinking about something. General Reinhardt pondered for a while, and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing that the friend from the old universe fell into thinking, the boat didn't disturb him and left him time.

In this way, after a long walk behind Ling, the voice suddenly came back from the communication channel.

"What kind of existence is human?"

Hearing the abrupt words, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and strangely moved his eyes to the line of ID printed on the communication channel, and said.

"People What kind of existence is it? Sorry, I don't understand what you mean, or what do you mean? Can you be more specific. "

In other words, aren't the kalans also mammal primates? How could this guy ask such a strange question?

"Maybe my question is ambiguous. What I want to say is that we are composed of countless cells, each of which is undoubtedly an independent individual. This is a collaborative work under the control of a huge system, and our consciousness is the product of the sincere cooperation of thousands of cells So what kind of thing is our consciousness? A program compiled in the brain? Or something more abstract? "

"This question is too profound. I'm afraid only philosophers can answer you."

"Philosophers?" It seems that he heard some interesting answers. General Reinhardt smiled lightly. "I'm afraid it's a little difficult. In our civilization, it's a fashion to study philosophy. However, searching my memory, I still can't find an accurate answer."

"Is it? It's really a world to look forward to. If I say that, it's probably like a program, "said Lu zhoucasually." when we compare neurons to diodes, the working mechanism of the brain is no different from that of the computer, but we use different parts to process information. "

"The explanation is too superficial," general Reinhardt said in a slightly disappointed tone. "Maybe I can hear a different answer from you when you are a little more mature. Thank you for spending so much time with me By the way, that's ahead. "

Just at the beginning of this sentence, the boat looking forward along the light has seen the outline standing in the shadow.

It was a painted black cube. Under the light of electricity, the shell with metallic luster was covered with dust and no trace of corrosion could be seen.

Two steps closer to see that the surface of the cube, crawling lines of irregular patterns. It's not the tattoo itself that surprises people, but after billions of years, the years have left no trace on it.

Looking at the strange man-made thing, the boat whispered a sentence.

“…… Is that it? "

General Reinhardt did not speak, but had answered his questions in silence.

Standing in front of the black cube for a moment, the boat suddenly turned around and looked at Ling standing behind him.

“…… Ling. "

"What's the matter, commander?"

"How long has it been since I left Tiangong?""17 hours and 8 minutes."

Have you walked so long?

I've known for a long time that I asked Wu Qinglai to ask him for a few more days off.

It's a pity that he's not sure how many meters deep he is now. It's impossible for him to send a short message.

"This thing Can I open it? "

"Yes, but why bother?"

"What do you mean?"

General Reinhardt did not speak.

Just as the boat was asking questions, a brilliant blue light soon passed through the top of the rock and landed on the painted black cube in front of him.

In front of seeing the penetrating light, Ling's response was the same as before, and she stepped back with fear on her face.

Looking at the familiar light, Lu Zhou's eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This is!"

"Scanning beams, which are usually equipped in the scientific research boats or escape boats of the Kalan Empire, are mainly used to scan the ore meteorites or asteroids and reveal their internal structures. Of course, it can also be used to scan some artifacts if necessary. At the border of the Kalan Empire, we can often find some civilized settlements formed by primitive creatures. In order to avoid affecting their civilization process as much as possible, we usually copy their handicrafts and buildings in this indirect way. "

"It's amazing Wait a minute, "suddenly realizing something, the boat immediately asked," since your scanning beam can directly shine here, why let me come here by myself? "

"I didn't ask you to come here in person. Didn't you come here by yourself? In fact, you can sit in a spaceship, drink drinks that have a shelf life of several billion years, and study what you want to study through the professional equipment in the command cabin, "general Reinhardt said in a helpless voice." I thought you wanted to see for yourself what it looked like. "

Lu Zhou's eyebrows twitched violently.

“…… That is to say, I have to go back now? "

"It's not necessary. I can directly transmit the picture to your personal terminal But if you want to see more clearly, I suggest you go back to the spaceship. "

Lu Zhou: "..."

He didn't want to say a word except a word of MMP.
