Chapter 97 The Truth of Human History

"I...I don't understand."

Yan Jingxing scratched his hair and replied with some annoyance:

"Qiu... er, Miss Qiu——"

"——Just call me sister."

Qiu Qimeng said with a smile.Her smile made people's hearts feel slightly warm, and there was no words of rejection that could be said.

Yan Jingxing opened his mouth, and at the same time he felt the oppressive gaze from his fiancée next to him, but in the end he was unable to resist his elder sister's charming gaze.

"...Sister Qiu. I have to tell the truth. I know nothing about these things. Becoming a warrior and getting a physical body all happened in the past month or two, so I don't understand them at all."

"It makes sense." The woman nodded slightly, "So, are you two willing to listen to me now? I am not a scholar, but a warrior, but I still understand some necessary common sense."

For a battle, if the two are very different in strength and know each other well, there is no need to pretend; the same is true for knowledge.

The eldest sister obviously knows more about the physical body and alien superpowers than they do. There is an absolute gap between the two parties' cognition. Instead of hiding it, it is better to listen honestly.Even if there is indeed a trap or deception hidden in her words, it can be analyzed later.

"Of course." By the time Yan Jingxing figured it out, Xie Yuzhi had already responded, "Thank you for sharing with us, please tell me."

"Very well, then I'll start from the beginning."

Qiu Qimeng cleared her throat and changed into a storytelling tone:
"In this vast universe, there are two twin planets. They are like mirror images of each other, reflections on the water..."

Yan Jingxing and Xie Yuzhi looked at each other.

This opening statement naturally made them think of the abandoned palace directly on the alien planet for the first time.Through the devices in the secret base, they can carry out space transfer between the earth and alien stars——

The "superpowers" they possess now are treasures hidden there that have never been discovered.

This matter has not been revealed yet.But if what they expected was true, the so-called "twin planets" mentioned by Qiu Qimeng...

Yan Jingxing began to recall that short but exciting journey to an alien planet.

Although they only set foot on a small area, wherever they looked, whether it was geographical landforms or the plants and animals growing and moving, they were all very different from those on Earth.

But this is just from the perspective of human senses.In fact, even they have vaguely noticed that the external environmental conditions of the earth and the planet there are very consistent, including the amazing convergence of atmospheric compositions - even on the vast scale of the observable universe, this similarity Sex is still a "miracle".

"Rather than simply calling this phenomenon a miracle, the committee's scholars - ah, that's where I'm from - the committee's scholars still hope to study the birth principle of this miracle. Because of the connection between the twin planets, It is far more than an incredible degree of similarity, and there is some kind of... special astronomical wonder between them. The researchers of the committee call it the 'gravity well channel connection'. This is considered the most convincing so far. hypothesis."

Speaking of this, Qiu Qimeng suddenly turned her gaze to Xie Yuzhi.

"Speaking of which, do you know the concept of a 'gravity well'?"

Her tone of voice was like that of an earnest teacher in school, which made Yan Jingxing feel a little strangely dreamy.

It would be really awesome if the eldest sister really became a teacher. He thought to himself, the boys sitting in the audience might not be interested in class anymore.

"...The gravity well is a conceptual model that describes the gravitational field surrounding a certain celestial body in space. The greater the mass of the celestial body, the deeper the gravity well and the larger the range of the gravitational field."

Miss Xie replied calmly, the answer was as standard as an encyclopedia.

"That's right! It's like putting an iron ball on a supported cloth, and the cloth around the iron ball will naturally sag downwards around it; similarly, a massive celestial body can also cause a similar sag in the surrounding space. You should have heard that the celestial body with the largest relative mass in the universe is a black hole—a space depression created by a black hole, from which even light cannot escape.”

"The so-called 'gravity well-channel connection' can be imagined as a channel between the gravitational fields of the two planets - just like the bottoms of the two wells are connected; to put it more vividly, when we throw a stone into the well, It may emerge from another well. This also makes it possible for material to be transferred between two planets under certain conditions."

"This is a spectacle that far exceeds all the physical laws discovered by mankind so far, because we cannot even confirm the existence of that planet at all. It may be within the Milky Way, it may be an extragalactic planet, and it may be separated from each other. How far away? Maybe a hundred thousand light years? A million light years? Or is it even more distant, even beyond the scope of the observable universe? Human beings cannot grasp this scale."

A series of questions and words made Qiu Qimeng's face blush slightly. She was obviously very interested in this topic.

"You must have guessed that among these twin planets, one of them is under our feet - the home of mankind, the Earth; and the other planet is called the 'Far Star', the 'Star of Bethlehem' , 'Malestar', 'Magic Star', 'Tai Sui Star'... various names have been circulated in ancient history. As for now, people in our committee generally call it 'Alpha', 'Malestar Alpha'."

"...wait, 'ancient history'?"

Yan Jingxing opened his eyes wide in surprise.

“Isn’t this planet discovered only in modern times?”

When they saw the explorer's diary, they thought -

"Why do you think it's modern? I've never said that."

The eldest sister gave him a strange look, but soon, she seemed to realize something, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.

"Ah, I understand. Actually, you should have been in contact with things related to Alpha Planet, right? Hehe, Jing Xing is really dishonest, just now he said 'know nothing about things'."

"..." Yan Jingxing obediently shut his mouth.

The eldest lady beside him calmly poked his side with her elbow, as if to express dissatisfaction.

But... you can't blame him, right?
The eldest sister's head turned too fast, and it was really difficult not to reveal her secrets.

"In short, it is recognized that Alpha Star's impact on the earth began long before humans entered modern society; and according to the committee's research, this time will continue to move forward significantly. But according to According to archaeological records and ancient records, in most cases, the ancient people probably did not realize that it was the influence of another planet."

"As for the specific time when alien stars began to impact the earth, scientists from the committee speculate that it may be further back than human history, and can even be traced back to between Neanderthals and late Homo sapiens..."

It's big right from the start.

Yan Jingxing was still a little confused about these concepts, but the knowledgeable Miss Xie couldn't help but say:
"—Wait, Neanderthal to late Homo sapiens? Before the Neolithic?"

This time it was her turn to be surprised.

"Yes."

Qiu Qimeng nodded approvingly.

"In other words, it is between 30 and 80 years ago."

After giving specific numbers, even Yan Jingxing could understand them.

A span of tens of millions of years is simply unimaginable...

"Isn't this a bit... too exaggerated?"

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but murmur.

"The body and the secrets on that distant planet are far beyond ordinary people's imagination."

Big Sister replied.

"But what happened to our ancestors in ancient times has little to do with us. Let's start with what we know well."

"What we know so far is that on the malevolent star Alpha, there is a civilization built by a group of people with highly developed intelligence just like humans. Moreover, it is similar to modern humans who were born only 1 years ago. Differently, the civilization of the Alpha people may have lasted for more than 10 years, and there have been several civilization destructions and replacements along the way. They have advanced technology that far exceeds the current level of mankind. Especially in the fields of biology and materials science, they invented He developed a technology that we call 'living machine' and based on this, he created a 'body'."

"This kind of weapon has natural adaptability to carbon-based intelligent life. Once the two are combined, it can exert amazing power. By the way, I just mentioned that the physical body has had a huge impact on intelligent life on the earth, and The beginning was probably before the Neolithic Age between 30 and 80 years ago, can you guess where this conclusion came from?"

"...the physical body will not combine with any life form at will, but will look for highly intelligent individuals like the Alphas who created them."

Miss Xie held her chin in one hand and came to a conclusion while thinking.

"I'm afraid the key lies in the degree of brain development, right? The brain capacity of early Homo sapiens has actually reached the level of modern humans. They used animal skins to make clothes, could make fire artificially, and had the custom of burying the dead..."

"——Guessed it right again."

Qiu Qimeng praised.

"It's hard to imagine that you are still a child in junior high school. Yes, the physical body has affected human history, starting from 'possessing wisdom'. Haha, no matter which country it is, there have been various kinds of things in history that seem to have long been felt. An incredible unsolved mystery, right? Although it is rare, there are legends all over the world that are similar to those who have achieved enlightenment and are transcendent, just like immortals and gods... Well, the topic has gone too far. "

She patted her face and continued talking.

"Whether it is past history or the current world, the probability of the body appearing in people's field of vision is extremely low. Apart from the quantitative limitations of the body itself, the criteria for selecting their hosts are equally stringent: intelligent life begins to appear on the earth, and only It is the prerequisite for them to come to the earth, and not every human being can use the body. Otherwise, the history as we know it may completely change."

“But from the [-]th to the [-]th century, with the birth of systematic natural science, the emergence of scientific communities from scratch, and professional scientists no longer attached to philosophical or religious systems, some people began to devote themselves to discovering insights from history. The secret of the body was unearthed after all the hard work... The committee we are on was established from this period."

"Then came the era of the Big Explosion of Science and Technology. During the two technological revolutions, each discipline developed by leaps and bounds after a leap-forward cognitive change in basic science. High-level officials from various countries began secret research on Alpha Star, trying to understand the body through Carry out reverse engineering to obtain the secrets of living mechanical technology, and indeed achieved corresponding results——"

The eldest sister reminded.

"You have already seen it, right? The group of people who came with Wu Zhifei."

"Those...werewolf-like soldiers?"

Yan Jingxing naturally couldn't forget what happened that night.

"That's right. They are 'alien soldiers' created by a research institution affiliated with the committee, using the genes of earth creatures combined with living mechanical technology. However, since you have fought against them, you must be able to feel that the performance of the two is better. There is an overwhelming gap—"

"They can't change the world, we can."

Qiu Qimeng opened her palm and then slowly tightened it.

"The entanglement between Alpha Evil Star, the body and human history will continue forever, and people wearing the body like you and me hold the power in their hands that can change history."
