Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 412 Star Curtain
"Captain, do you want to eat this gold coin?"

"No, bite it with your teeth and strengthen your purity."

Su Xia took the gold coin out of her mouth calmly, wiped the drool on the gold coin, and there was a row of neat teeth marks on the gold coin.

It's something he's wanted to do since he was a kid.

As a child, I used to watch people on TV do this.

"Master Captain, just let me help you identify it. I have professional equipment here." Sarah said with a smile.

"No, you don't understand, it's more ritualistic."

Su Xia lightly tossed the gold coin, smiled slightly, and talked about his childhood: "In my world, biting with your teeth is a tradition..."

After listening, Sarah was slightly surprised and blinked.

She asked, "Master Captain, are you from another planet?"

Su Xia nodded: "Yes."

"No wonder you can get this submarine, it seems that you bought it in the starry sky."

"No, there are many people like me on this planet. Here, people like me are called undead..."

Su Xia talked a lot, neither in a hurry nor slow, with a gentle voice, helping Sarah understand the situation outside.

This smart butler is very smart, almost on the same level as Hal, and there is no harm in letting her know more.

Sarah seemed very curious, with a calm expression on her face. Listening carefully to Susha's narration, she gradually gained a concrete understanding of the outside world. Combined with Susha's current situation of being hunted down by the machine race, she probably understood the situation on this planet. .

"So, maybe this planet was chosen as the game world by a higher civilization?" Sarah's eyes flashed, as if she was thinking about something.

"game?"

Su Xia was surprised. Looking at the housekeeper, she didn't expect her to say these two words.

Due to the restrictions of the system rules, he never mentioned these two words from the beginning to the end.

Sarah nodded slightly, and asked: "Master Captain, have you heard of the 'Star Curtain'?"

Su Xia shook her head: "No."

"The star curtain is a weapon, also known as the 'civilization deceiver'."

"Cheat? What do you mean?"

"Master Captain, you can probably guess it after hearing its name." Sarah looked up at the sky and drew a circle with her hand, "Use a star curtain to replace the starry sky of this planet, and seal off the entire planet."

"blockade?"

"Yes, on this curtain, there are meteorites, sun and moon, stars, black holes, etc. depicted by advanced civilizations..."

Sarah narrated patiently, and said a terrible thing in a calm tone.

The reason why some planets cannot develop interstellar civilizations is because higher civilizations have blocked them.

On this kind of planet, the starry universe observed by their scientists through various astronomical telescopes is actually a picture on the "star curtain", not the real universe.

The cosmic signals they receive are processed, and the exploration information they send out will also be directly intercepted.

In other words, all the basis for their exploration of the starry sky was planned for them by a higher civilization.

They can see what advanced civilizations want them to see.

If you don't want them to see it, then they can't see it in their life.

"Is everything fake?" Su Xia was surprised.

"Yes, the entire planet, countless astronomical scientists, and their lifetime painstaking efforts are all fake, and they are all known by higher civilizations." Sarah nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Su Xia took a deep breath and looked up subconsciously.

It's a pity that I am now at the bottom of the sea, and I can only see the dark and unknown sea water, but not the sky.

After living for so many years, Su Xia never thought that... the bright galaxy above her head, the deep starry universe, could be fake?
Is it deliberately presented by someone else with a civilized weapon?

"What's the point of doing this?" Su Xia couldn't help asking: "Are high-level civilizations bored? Do you want to limit the development of a low-level civilization planet?"

"It's not that I'm bored."

Sarah chuckled and explained: "This weapon was originally used to restrict the 'exile planet'."

"Exile planet?"

"Yes, the entire planet is full of prisoners exiled by advanced civilizations."

Sarah nodded and continued: "Master Captain, you still don't know much about the starry sky, maybe you don't know that on some planets, the inhabitants of the entire planet are all criminals of advanced civilizations. Known as the 'criminal planet' or 'exile planet', it is a very special civilization."

"You don't need a prison to throw criminals on this kind of planet?" Su Xia asked in surprise.

"No, not even a guard." Sarah shook her head lightly.

"Why is this again?"

"Some advanced civilizations believe that the form of prison is too restrictive and inhumane, and criminals need to be given more space for activities, such as a whole planet."

"Inhumane?" Su Xia became numb, "What kind of humanity is there for criminals?"

If a place as large as the planet can be regarded as a prison, wouldn't each of them live in a prison?

Of course, that's not true either.

Perhaps in the eyes of those advanced civilizations, those who can leave the planet are free people. If they are confined to a planet for a lifetime, they are no different from criminals.

"Isn't that kind of criminal planet very dangerous?" Su Xia asked.

"Yes." Sarah's small face became more serious, "On those planets, there are crazy bloodthirsty killers, superb psychological criminals, and bloody serial killers... Evil is everywhere, and death happens every day." happening."

"Is that so..."

Su Xia probably understood, he couldn't help but think of Australia.

This approach is to throw a group of criminals on a planet and let them fight among themselves?

You know, everyone in the prison is talented. What kind of sparks will such a group of people gather on one planet?
This kind of planet is comparable to an enlarged version of Arkham.

"In order to prevent criminals from escaping from the planetary prison, advanced civilizations have thought of many ways, and the 'Star Curtain' is one of them." Sarah said.

"I see, it is to prevent these criminals from developing an interstellar civilization?" Su Xia asked.

"Yes."

"But there are always exceptions, right? Are there any criminals who have successfully escaped from the prison on the planet?"

Su Xia suddenly became interested and asked curiously.

Sarah thought for a while, as if she was checking her database, with a peaceful expression.

After a while, she said: "There is indeed, and the last time, just over ten years ago, was a very famous super criminal."

"tell me the story."

"On the edge of the Heinlein star field, on a criminal planet numbered 10714."

Sarah waved her little hand, and a blue light curtain appeared in front of her, displaying a series of data.

On the light curtain, a photo appeared, as well as a large number of criminal descriptions.

Seeing that photo, Su Xia's heart skipped a beat.

He blinked and looked carefully, the person on the light curtain turned out to be Dr. Aigal!

Sarah said softly: "This is the super criminal who escaped from the planet. His name is Agar. He used to be a talented doctor with a bright future. Illegal and evil biological experiments, after being discovered, refused to plead guilty, and even injured law enforcement officers..."

Listening to Sarah's narration, Su Xia felt a strange feeling in her heart.

He often became this Dr. Egar in psionic hallucinations, experiencing his travels in the starry sky.

Sometimes he wondered if those things in the hallucinations had actually happened in the past?
Seeing this real person now, and seeing the description of his life, gave Su Xia a wonderful feeling that illusion and reality overlapped.

He couldn't help looking at his storage space. In the space, there was a notebook of Dr. Agar lying quietly.

Because of this notebook, Su Xia learned a lot about the evil biological experiment.

It can even be said that on this planet, he has already stood at the forefront of this kind of biological experiment, even Moser and Dad can't compare to him.

Moser has been waiting for the No. 28 subject in the underground of Coral City to wake up, and he doesn't know what went wrong.

And Su Xia could tell at a glance that Subject No. 28 was pretending to be asleep.

"After Dr. Agar was exiled, he lived in the capital of the criminal planet 'Sin City' for three years. Because he was a criminal with special technology, he was injected with a special monitor. I don't know what he used later. The method is to take out the monitor..."

As she said that, Sarah noticed that Su Xia's eyes were a little distracted, and reminded with a smile: "Master Captain, you are distracted."

"Oh, I just remembered something from the past." Su Xia came back to her senses.

"It seems that the captain is not interested in the information of these criminals."

"No, I was just thinking about the game you mentioned earlier."

Su Xia brought the topic back on track and asked: "If the star curtain is used to restrict the development of the civilization of the criminal planet, then what does this weapon have to do with the game? Could it be that some advanced civilization regards the entire planet as a game world? In order to The game is going well, and you don't hesitate to prevent the development of civilization on this planet?"

"Yes." Sarah nodded.

"Isn't it against humanity to do this?"

Su Xia was puzzled, after all, even criminals could be treated humanely.

Sarah explained: "Master Captain, in the starry sky above our heads, many areas are private property."

"oh, I understand now."

Su Xia has seen a lot of information on the wreckage of the spaceship. Hearing what Sarah said, she immediately knew the reason.

If the entire planet is a person's private property, then... that person can do whatever he wants, even if it is using the entire planet as an amusement park.

"However, this still can't explain our current situation. After all, everyone who descends on this planet has an immortal body." Su Xia talked about the current situation.

If not, the players would not be called undead.

"Captain, have you ever thought that every death is actually real?"

"What do you mean?"

"Let me tell you an example..."

Sarah thought for a while, but it didn't seem easy to explain, so she waved her little hand, and another blue light curtain appeared in front of her.

A string of information and texts appeared on the light curtain, presenting a case that actually happened before Su Xia's eyes.

The name of this case is called [Killing Planet].

"More than 300 years ago, there was an interstellar collector who had a whim...

"He wondered, what would humanity be like if there were no death, if there was no need to worry about life and death?

"He planned to conduct a long social experiment, devoted the rest of his life to this experiment, spent countless resources, spent countless years, and finally created an ideal planet.

"On this planet, there are two kinds of people, one is called 'natives' and the other is called 'descendants'.

"Among them, the aborigines only have one life, just like the NPCs that can be killed in the game, while the descendants have an immortal body, just like the players in the game.

"Indigenous people are the native inhabitants of that planet.

"And the descendants were selected from another planet. They were all told in advance that they have an immortal body, just like playing a game, so they have no scruples..."

Sarah spoke softly and spoke slowly.

Su Xia frowned, and the more she listened, the more she felt that it was very similar to the situation he was in now, and even many details could be matched.

Later, Sarah uttered a very crucial message: "As for the 'immortality', it is not really immortal. Every death is a real death."

"Is it resurrected through another body?" Su Xia asked.

"Yes, after the descendant dies, instill his memory into another clone that is exactly the same, and let him wake up in this clone."

Clone!
This is the so-called immortal body, infinite life?
"Of course, Captain, the planet you are on is different from the experimental planet I described." Sarah smiled lightly.

"Is it time to die?" Su Xia looked at her.

"Yes."

Sarah nodded. In the case she narrated, after the descendant died, it took a while to be resurrected in a specific place, which was the cloning center.

The descendants didn't know that they were resurrected through cloning, and thought they were really immortal, so they called the cloning center "resurrection point" or "spring" or "cemetery".

Sarah smiled lightly and said, "On your planet, all the undead can be resurrected on the spot the moment they die, and there is no resurrection center. This is a situation that I can't understand."

After all, she is just an ordinary smart housekeeper, and she doesn't know much about the starry sky, maybe not as much as Hal.

Su Xia nodded silently, lost in thought.

During the communication between the two, the little exploration robot outside was not idle, and was bringing the treasure boxes in the sunken ship back to the submarine one by one.

After exploring by the little robot, on the three decks inside the sunken ship, there are a total of thirteen rooms with such treasure boxes, and each room has more than 20 boxes.

If the box is full of gold coins, based on the price of gold on this planet, that would be a wealth of over 20 billion!
Su Xia can really retire and enjoy life.

At this moment, a small robot suddenly sent back a message and found something more precious than gold coins.

"My lord, I found a sword."

Sarah smiled and reminded: "Don't think too much, what you have right now is the real thing, even if this world is really created, it doesn't matter, even if there is a so-called black hand behind the scenes, you can't resist now, Captain, can you?"

"Well, that's right, I can't resist, I can only enjoy it."

Su Xia shrugged, feeling that the housekeeper was right.

He returned to his thoughts and looked at the screen in front of him again.

Just a moment ago, a small robot found a rusty long sword in the penultimate room on the third floor of the deck.

The hilt is engraved with a golden fleur-de-lis, most likely the legendary Sword of Imperial Power.

"The sword of power of the Iris Empire disappeared suddenly a hundred years ago, and it was not found until the moment it was destroyed by the machine clan." Su Xia looked at the picture on the screen, and information about that empire emerged in his mind.

According to legend, with this sword, one has the supreme power of the empire.

Of course, it's just a legend.

It is already modern, and no one will surrender to others because of a sword.

What's more, now that the entire Iris Flower Empire is gone, this sword is only used as a collectible.

"If it's really that sword, it should be able to sell for a good price. In the future, if you are short of money, you can take it out and sell it." Su Xia pondered, "Go to the Western Continent, and the people there will definitely pay for this sword. higher prices."

……

At the same time, in the southern waters of the mainland, above the surface of the sea.

Moser hovered quietly in the sky with a calm expression. He was dressed in a black tuxedo, and seemed to have regained his elegant appearance.

He quietly watched the sunset on the sea level in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Lord Moser, the nearby islands have been searched, and there is no trace of the masked man." A new message came.

"Master Mo Se, the nearby ships at sea have also been searched, and no masked strange man was found." Another message came.

One piece of news is gathered here, like invisible streamers of light, the information of the entire machine family converges into an overwhelming network, and Moser is the center of this large network.

As time goes by, more and more news.

Mercer's eyes moved slowly.

He lowered his head slightly, expressionless, staring at the choppy sea below.
