Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 1024 The Last Message
"They shouldn't be able to escape anywhere... After all, they have already been imprinted by that existence that cannot be erased." Ke Lan said.

"The Alpha people who chose to leave do not agree with the plan to bring you to this time and space, but the Night Watchman organization has always followed the principle of the minority obeying the majority... However, the Night Watchman organization will not force any members, since they do not agree with the majority Night Watchman's plan, then other Night Watchmen will respect their ideas, and without affecting the execution of the main plan, they took away a fleet and part of the resources, and then left this space domain." Selene Said.

"Are they looking for another way out?" Ke Lan said, "Or are they just trying to avoid the obliteration of the space-time paradox?"

"I do not know."

……

The shuttle passed a very long deceleration channel, and finally came to a complete stop, the canopy was lifted... Ke Lan turned over and jumped out before the anti-G fluid was drained.

The anti-gr fluid remaining on Ke Lan's body surface and body was quickly absorbed by his body, and then discharged from the pores like waste. After throwing the sticky ball back to the cockpit of the shuttle, he He raised his head and began to look around.

The central control room was completely dark, with only a little bit of fluorescent light on the surrounding walls providing a little bit of poor lighting, but with Ke Lan's visual ability, even if it was completely dark, he could still see clearly.

The style of this central control room is very similar to that of a Western-style large library, but it is many times larger than any building of the Ark civilization. The surrounding walls are embedded with metal cabinets with intricate carvings. Gorgeous decorative pattern, the style of the pattern is probably between Gothic and Baroque.In the blank space between the cabinets, there are large metal murals mounted. Most of the murals describe the construction process of the Double Moon Fortress... Although there are many high-tech elements in the murals, the overall appearance is Created an atmosphere of ancient myths and legends.

However, based on time, the stories described by the murals tens of thousands of years ago are indeed ancient legends... After all, even the Dunhuang murals on the earth are only a few thousand years old.

In the grids of these metal cabinets, there are countless crystal boxes inserted. With Ke Lan's eyesight, it can be seen at a glance that these crystal boxes are all crystal chips of the highest specification. The dots of fluorescence on the walls are from These crystal circuit chips are issued internally.

Except for the absence of a central column, the structure of this central control room is very close to the control center under the bottomless tiankeng. Of course, the area and space of the former are hundreds or even thousands of times larger than the latter.

Each of these crystal chips can store a large amount of data. If the standard hard disk used by Heijing is used as the unit of measurement, the storage capacity of a crystal chip is about 1000 to 2000 yuan. There are at least [-] million such crystal chips displayed on the shelf.

"This is the central control room of the New Moon Fortress, and it is also the backup database of Alpha Civilization." A faint blue light projected from the dome, and Selene's holographic projection emerged in the light, "Alpha Civilization once had a The alternative plan is to completely abandon the home planet and control the Double Moon Fortress to escape from this space... For this alternative plan, they spent a lot of resources and time on these two satellites."

"Then why was the plan cancelled?" Ke Lan asked.

"I don't know. When I was created, this plan was cancelled. From the beginning to the end, my mission was to assist the garrison personnel of the New Moon Fortress and defend the earth... which is what you call Alpha Planet." Selene Said, "In that alternative plan, the Double Moon Fortress will share a super artificial intelligence named 'Jingwei'. But 'Jingwei' was not created in the end, and this alternative plan has never been implemented. .”

"Perhaps the Alpha people found that even if they escaped from this universe, they could not escape the control of that existence..." Ke Lan said, "Fortunately, those who left only took a fleet with them, and did not take the Double Moon Fortress with them. Also take them away together, or else there is really nothing to do with the World Extinct Tree now."

"The resident of the New Moon Fortress left you some information at the last moment, do you want to check it?" Selene said.

"Is there a message for me? Why didn't you say it earlier?" Ke Lan was taken aback, and nodded quickly, "Of course I have to see it."

"For the existence that was erased because of the space-time paradox, if there is something deliberately left for the person who caused the paradox, that thing will gradually disappear. Even if it is erased to deceive itself, as long as the two If there is a substantive connection between them, then the paradox will be activated. If I told you about the existence of the message just now, the message should have almost disappeared by now."

As Selene spoke, she opened a huge holographic screen in mid-air, and densely packed text quickly scrolled across the screen.

Ke Lan directly activated the time stop and read the message carefully. The first half of this message is the "instructions" on how to operate the Star Destroyer Cannon of the New Moon Fortress. It can be seen that the night watchman stationed in the New Moon Fortress has long known about Ke Lan. Will come, have already made arrangements in advance.

"Everything left to us by the Alpha civilization will disappear because of paradox? So, the stone tablet I touched in the glacier ruins will be turned into powder? But... why are the things brought out of those ruins Haven't disappeared?" Ke Lan asked Selene while reading the explanatory text of the Star Destroyer.

"Because those things were not intended to be left to you by the Alpha civilization...the 'inheritance' they want to leave to the Ark civilization is actually much richer than it is now, but after you set foot on the Alpha planet, these 'inheritances' will be Gradually disappeared along with the Alpha civilization."

"The culprit of this planet becoming so desolate is actually the humans on the ark. Is it okay for me to understand that?" Ke Lan curled his lips, not knowing what expression to make for a moment.

"Yes. But this is also the choice of Alpha Civilization itself." Selene said.

At this time, Ke Lan had finished reading the explanatory text of the Star Destroyer... and as Selene said, with the passage of time, a large number of missing and garbled characters began to appear in the text, broken paragraphs and sentences, words of unknown meaning The characters began to appear frequently, and Ke Lan's reading suddenly became difficult.

"do not give up……"

"I hope there will always be no human...even if it has abandoned us...but you still exist..."

"I still don't believe that we... can defeat the gods..."

"But it doesn't mean... I don't believe in humans..."

"He is not a god at all, he is just a higher-dimensional life form... As long as human civilization can continue... sooner or later, human beings can..."

"To Him, we are like worms... Maybe, even worse than worms..."

"We are so small..."

"However, bugs were never completely defeated..."

"Don't mourn for us..."

"At least for me... being obliterated because of the space-time paradox... is better than being his nourishment..."

"Since I was born... I have been suffering from erosion... Those whispers are lingering in my ears day and night, making me almost crazy... And now, I can finally get relief..."

"My mission is finally completed..."

"Thank you."

At the end of the message, the entire text completely faded and disappeared, and even the frozen time could not allow it to remain in this world for a moment.

Ke Lan took a deep breath and said to Selene, "I'm the one who should thank them."

Selene didn't answer this, Ke Lan knew that it was just an artificial intelligence without emotion, it would only faithfully perform the tasks set in the program, but could not empathize with human emotions.

Yes, the emotions between humans... there is no alpha civilization, and there are no alpha people...they are human beings, they are us.

The planet overlooked by the new moon is not Alpha Star, but the home star of mankind... the Earth.

According to the information left by the Xinyue resident personnel, Ke Lan strode to the middle of the central control room, while Selene's projection took two steps back and gave the position to Ke Lan.

The second beam of blue light projected down from the dome and shrouded Ke Lan's body. Ke Lan only felt a slight tingling pain on his skin, as if he had been burned by this beam of light... The next moment, he found A massive flow of information poured into his brain - the entire control system of the New Moon Fortress was connected to him at this moment!
Even though Ke Lan has experienced similar things many times, the flow of information this time was too great, and he was a little lost in the impact for a while, and two sticky bloodstains slowly flowed from Ke Lan's nasal cavity. Shedding—In the few seconds just now, his brain had actually been "destroyed" and "rebuilt" countless times. Fortunately, the recovery speed of his body was fast enough, which allowed Ke Lan's consciousness and memory to be preserved.

Ke Lan's current state seems to be waking up from a coma for a long time, but in this process of destruction and rebirth, his brain has been further developed, and the activity and number of brain cells have reached the level of a normal human being. unattainable pinnacle.

Some experts once said that the human brain has only been developed one-tenth, and the other nine-tenths are actually "treasures" that have not yet been discovered... But now, Ke Lan feels that the development progress of his brain has reached at least 50.00 % or more, he experienced a sense of refreshment that he had never had before. The speed of his thinking was as if the processor of an old-fashioned computer was changed from 286 to the current top-level CPU. Not only could he think about a dozen things at the same time, Performing "multi-threaded operations", even the memories that the Fool sealed in his brain were all unsealed.

In these memories, there is actually very little information related to the Fool himself, and most of them are the "forbidden knowledge" inherited from the Alpha civilization... Even if a little bit of this knowledge is leaked out, it is enough Let the human beings who accept it break through that critical point in an instant and turn into a corroded corpse... However, Ke Lan only showed some slight mutation symptoms in his body, and these symptoms disappeared within a few seconds, allowing him to change back to A "pure human being".

"New moon fortress main gun, N2K star cracking device, activate." Ke Lan said slowly, hundreds of instructions were sent from his brain at the same time, using the blue beam of light that enveloped him as a carrier, into the new moon Inside the control system of the fortress.

The crystal chips on the cabinets on the surrounding walls flickered crazily, and the dim light like fireflies suddenly brightened, like bright lights lit up in the dark night, and like a brilliant sea of ​​stars in the vast universe... the whole center The control room was immediately filled with magical colors, and there was a touch of shocking majesty in the beautiful scenery.

The New Moon Fortress stopped, orbiting Alpha Star—no, it should be called "Earth" now—the Crescent Fortress that has been rotating around the Earth for tens of thousands of years without stopping, stopped.

On the other hand, the old moon seemed to have sensed Ke Lan's intentions, and stopped on the other side of the earth.

The tide in the middle sea suddenly turned into a huge wave, and the tsunami swept across the coast, smashing the hard rock to pieces.

A huge gap that could be called an abyss appeared on the ice cover of the polar sea. The ice cover of tens of thousands of square meters was torn apart, and the thawed sea water shot up into the sky.

Volcanoes all over the surface are also erupting one after another, even if it is an extinct volcano that has long been considered to be unable to erupt. spread.

The thick layer of radiation clouds was torn open one after another, and the earth, which had not been exposed to direct sunlight for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, finally saw a dazzling radiance falling from the sky.

What is happening on the earth seems to be two extremes. Since it is the coming of the day of annihilation, it is like the beginning of the rebirth of all things-a veteran standing on the deck of Agunaktor looked up from the clouds With the gushing sunlight, tears could not help but fall from the corners of his eyes.

"I've never... never seen... sunshine in the true sense."

The sky on this planet is always that gray color, lifeless... To be precise, there has never been a "sunny day" on this planet.Even the sun, which provides a steady stream of energy to everything on the planet, can only see a hazy circle of light and shadow through the clouds.

But now, the sun shining directly on the earth is so dazzling that it stimulates people's lacrimal glands to secrete tears... But those who have lived on this planet for a lifetime are still unwilling to look away, even if they are full of tears, they always keep their eyes open. With his head up, he stared at the light shining through the clouds.
