The Record of Unusual Creatures

The people of the stars - humans call these mysterious lives from the depths of the stars, and in Holleta, the ancient magical emperors called them "allies in the stars."真正The true names of these mysterious lives have their own words, but because of the strange language and vocabulary structure they use, it is difficult for ordinary races to accurately restore their ethnic names, whether transliterated or freely translated, so they have been in contact with these mysterious lives. In the end, the race chose the style of the habits that they used to.

The image of the people of the starry sky is a group of bright and radiant light. The inside of it is a star-studded starburst and lightning. Some people believe that these creatures are formed by the most primitive and pure light in the universe, representing the purity of the world. Bright side. They have weird technology that humans can't understand - they can also be magic, and they can trigger all sorts of miracles. Some even believe that they hold some kind of power beyond the material world, and thus can affect the illusory of destiny, cause and effect. thing. The people of the Stars initially communicated with the humans on this planet through spiritual connections, and then they came to the planet through a strange optical phenomenon that did not conform to physical common sense, and soon showed its incredible The power and great quality.

The people of the stars warned the locals about the waking of the eldest son and told a disaster that exceeded the imagination of the mortal and almost subverted the entire universe. At first, the humans on this planet did not believe these warnings, but the people of the stars quickly confirmed everything through a series of precise prophecies and the eldest son tentacles excavated from the depths of the earth. They helped the indigenous people here to prepare for the catastrophe, including the plan against the eldest son and the special shield to protect the planet after the sun broke out – all from the hands of these strange brilliant creatures.

"That is, they come to the planet from the depths of the universe. Give you an early warning and guide you to transform the planet into an ark. Help you push the eldest son into the sun and detonate it, and also help you build a planet shield." "There is something beyond your technology tree." Hao Ren heard the record of the people of the stars from the Ark host. He frowned. "...but it failed. The stars do not know that the soul of the eldest son can be in the flesh. After the death of the body, it will continue to survive, and even have the spare power to destroy the entire ecosystem. So what is the ending of those stars?"

"They are back in the light." The Ark host replied with a flat, unfeeling voice, and showed the last moment of the planet on a machine next to it. Hao Ren saw the earth shrouded in a thin layer. Under the dark red light, the distant sun is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye and gradually split, and the people on the surface seem to be holding a celebration ceremony. But as the sun expanded to a third of the sky, the crowds in the celebration began to fall.

At this moment, a few strange lights smashed from the crowd. They seemed to entangle the twisted lightnings and jellies. The interior has a little bit of light and scale like a house. These lights screamed violently against the sky, and finally they turned into huge beams of light and disappeared.

Those light groups should be the people of the stars, and Hao Ren believes that the last light column is the scene when they died.

The ancients of Halleta, the ally of the stars, believe that these mysterious creatures from the depths of the universe can help themselves against the eldest son, who seems to have power beyond the mortal race, at least they have the means to successfully destroy the eldest son's flesh. . But it turns out that this level of power is still not enough. The people of the stars finally died on the planet's ark.

At the moment when the light beams disappeared, Vivian looked at the screen thoughtfully: "These light-like races should be rushed around in the universe. Their aerospace technology is very high, so they probably have the ability to chase in the eldest son. Killing self-protection. But to help other races...it's not very successful."

Hao Ren sighed and asked the Ark host a few questions. The things of the year finally came to the fore.

The people of the stars and the planet’s original plan were to leave here by the ark after destroying the eldest son with the sun. Re-find a place with suitable stars, but on the day of the Ark ceremony. The civilization on the planet was instantly extinct. After more than 10,000 years, the planet quietly fell asleep in its mother star. Just like death. But there is still something "living" on the planet - the machines left by humans are still waiting in the dark, they never forget the purpose of their creation, never give up the ancient 10,000 years ago plan.

During the 10,000 years of the planet's sleep, the Ark host kept its minimum operation and scanned the life response of the entire planet over and over again—it constantly searched for survivors on the planet under the guidance of established procedures, even if only one survived. Down, the significance of the existence of the Ark will be continued.

If it is human, it must have given up, but these machines, from the day they were made, do not know what to give up.

Vivien figured it out: "The Nangong couple restarted the agreement of the Ark?"

The Ark host confirmed her guess.

"So the TV, newspapers, advertisements, names of people in the city... all human society, are you actually simulated?"

The Ark host’s answer is only one sentence: “The creator’s civilization cannot be cut off.”

Hao Ren feels that this host's understanding of "civilization" seems to have some problems, but he does not know whether he has any position to correct this "problem". The machine at hand is only using its own mechanized logic to accomplish its mission. It may not really understand what civilization is, or what the creators want to preserve. It is an abstraction that carries the human will. The ai hard to understand things, the Ark host does not understand these.

But it still stubbornly fulfilled the instructions of 10,000 years ago - in the machine's own way.

"So you don't let people in the city leave," Hao Ren sighed. "But you know, we are not your creators - it doesn't make much sense to take us away."

The Ark host has been silent for a long time, and finally repeats with a feelingless voice: "The creator's civilization cannot be cut off."

"What is your next plan?" Vivienne asked. "You let us come here. This proves that you are also hesitating. You understand that you cannot continue this stalemate. This is an illusion, no. a play of meaning."

Hao Ren also fixedly looked at the giant computer in the center of the hall. Although he did not see any emotional factors from the other's steel body, he vaguely felt that this ai was also confused as a human being. There was something in the body that was not part of the program, which was prompting it to seek change.

After a long silence, the Ark host asked a question: "Where are you from?"

"You have antennas on the surface, point them to space, there is a silver-white spaceship," Hao Ren said as he connected the data terminal in his mind. "Terminal, on this planet." Broadcast, telling it about the Space and Time Administration."

The lights on the surface of the ark's main engine flashed and listened to the broadcast from space. Hao Ren and Vivian were waiting patiently. A few minutes later, a human sigh came from the host: "I understand."

Half an hour later, Hao Ren led everyone back to the giant turtle rock station in space.

He only brought back two things from the planet's ark.

One of them is a square black metal box, half a person high, it is a library, which contains most of the information of the Ark civilization. The Ark host tried its best to understand what "civilization" meant. Finally, it made this database and hoped that someone could bring it to a distant place. Just like most civilizations - in the face of the end, the Ark chose to leave its own information, which is the only way to commemorate its creators.

The other thing is a transparent jar with a height of more than one foot. It contains some gray-green materials. This is the second thing that the Ark host wants Hao Ren to take away: they are the moss scraped from the condensation pipe.

A sample of life on this planet.

The Ark host explained this: "Some of the creators have deduced the failure of the entire plan, so they envisaged some alternatives: if you can't keep humans, save some animals, if you can't keep animals, save some plants, if If everything can't be saved, save some cells. Please take them away, let them survive and spread them out, and my task will be completed."

The giant turtle rock platform slowly separated from the orbit of the planet's ark in a blue envelope, and the gray-white stray planet gradually drifted away in the field of vision.

In the refuge of the Planet Ark, the lights are dimming one by one, the day is over, and after dusk, another civilization falls into the dark. The unmanned car slowly stopped at the side of the road, and the machines stopped working, and began to turn off the power one by one. On the advertising screen of the roadside building, a middle-aged man with a uniform and gray hair looked The empty city, the last good night on this world road: "Citizens, the shelter is about to close, thank everyone, goodbye."

When the last ray in space was obscured by the warped space, the talents took their sights back from the holographic image. "Rolling" curiously looked at the black metal box that Hao Ren brought back, and went up and arched his head: "It’s so heavy."

Hao Ren sighed: "Yes, it's quite heavy." (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
