Beneath Deep Space

The two walked out of the venue one after the other, neither of them seeing each other's faces.

There are a large number of relics of the Knicks civilization displayed around it. Many people will stop and study it with interest when passing by. But neither of them had such leisurely elegance.

"Ahem..."

Yu Yifeng cleared his throat. He had no choice. As a man, he could only bring up this topic first.

"How about just surviving?" He didn't know what to say, so he started with this sentence.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yu Yifeng cursed himself for being stupid for speaking without thinking. He may be used to being a leader, so he speaks very straightforwardly and says whatever he wants.

In particular, the group of scientists also liked this efficient way of communication... Over time, it seemed to have become a habit.

But times like these are not the past...

Yu Yifeng regretted it very much, but he didn't know how to make up for the water spilled by his words.

Hearing such strange words, Yuriko just hummed, frowned slightly, and then followed.

An awkward atmosphere spread between the two.

Yu Yifeng coughed twice more to cover up his embarrassment: "Well, that's not what I meant..."

But he couldn't tell what it meant. In fact, that was what it meant. In his heart, he actually quite agreed with "just make do with it" to avoid being nagged by the aunts and uncles. Of course, having a good feeling in your heart is also one thing.

Obviously, Yuriko is not a normal woman, and her thoughts are also very unusual.

If she were a normal woman, she would have been mad to death, but she wouldn't.

She thought about it carefully and found that this method seemed good, and finally said quietly: "Reproduction is the instinct of life and the natural need of genes. Life that cannot reproduce has long been eliminated in the long river of time."

“…Love is a conspiracy that leads you to reproduce, a poetic description of the urge to reproduce.”

"Marriage is probably a compromise between the optimal male reproductive strategy and the optimal female strategy. It is a Pareto-optimal Nash equilibrium..."

Yes, this statement is very scientific. Yu Yifeng couldn't understand what she meant for a while.

What is Pareto optimality, Nash equilibrium...

But the words she said were very consistent with her character.

Marrying a wife like this... okay, it's okay, so-so is acceptable...

Things like love and marriage wouldn't be so embarrassing if they were boiled down to biology and sociology.

However, Yuriko's face turned red in confusion. She only came after being told by her elders that she had no choice but to do so... With an older daughter left at home, it was impossible not to be urged. It was really an embarrassing thing.

"so be it."

Yu Yifeng was silent for a long time. He didn't understand Yuriko's specific thoughts and said something randomly that he didn't know the meaning of.

After he said it, he regretted it. What does "that's it" mean?

Yuriko was silent for a moment and said, "Okay."

What does "good" mean?

He was simply stunned. He just said something casually and then got an "ok" reply?

He didn't understand it at all. He instinctively wanted to grab his hair, but was blocked by the power armor helmet...

Maybe...it means consent?

Yu Yifeng finally understood the meaning of a word today: awkward chat.

During the conversation, the two of them had arrived at their final destination: a fully sealed super-large building, which was also the latest large-scale building built by the Central Command.

There are mainly bedrooms, restaurants, various small offices, etc., which will be their future office area.

This building has Level 4 biocontainment standards and no Knicks items are allowed here.

Once entering the door, the entire body of the power armor needs to be rinsed with boiling water, and then disinfected at a high temperature of two to three hundred degrees Celsius before entering the next safety door.

After a series of disinfection procedures, the two came to the changing room inside the building, took off their power armor, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.

In this large building, all environments meet human survival standards, and there is no interference from alien microorganisms. Humans can survive normally inside. Finally, I no longer have to wear power armor all the time!

This is also one of the best working environments on the Knick planet. Except for the gravity environment, everything else is close to that of the Noah.

In the long time since humans have been on the planet Nix, various microbial vaccines and drugs have come out one after another, escaping the dilemma of being defenseless. Moreover, during the excavation of the ruins, people also discovered various pharmaceutical formulas, which accelerated the defense process against microorganisms.

The big black dog's immune system also played a major role. It almost adapted to the environment of the planet Nix, and its antibody serum became a special medicine. However, its output is very limited. It is better to be disease-free or disease-free...

"Let's go, let's go eat first."

Yu Yifeng finally got rid of this embarrassing mood. He was still very thick-skinned, and he quickly pretended to be fine, as if the awkward conversation just now never happened.

"Do you want to know about Thor City? The excavated electronic storage device and the map..." Yu Yifeng asked as he walked, changing the topic.

There is always so much to say when it comes to work.

"Of course I do."

Yuriko seemed a little angry, but she was still very serious about her work. She could only say angrily: "I still handle some of the cracking work."

Most of the books in that USB-disk-like electronic storage are romance novels and online novels. Purely a product of fantasy. These things actually don't have much value. At most, they can only estimate the living standards of the Knicks at that time.

Human beings have no time to appreciate the artistic level of Knicks civilization.

However, some of them are children's books, and most of the things in them are true and of relatively high value...

From this point of view, the owner of this USB flash drive may be a female creature with a child, and of course, maybe a male creature. And their thinking is quite similar to humans.

Yu Yifeng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately, we only found part of the history of the Nyx civilization in these books, but not the cause of their extinction."

Yuriko continued to say angrily: "Of course such a thing cannot exist! History is something that has already happened, and it can be recorded in writing. But they cannot know about future mass extinction events."

"If they are still alive after experiencing a mass extinction event, it is not called extinction. This is a paradox in itself."

Yu Yifeng shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. The occurrence of mass extinction events must be sequential. First there is a crisis, and then they find that the crisis is difficult to solve, and the entire population gradually dies step by step. Maybe the entire planet’s population will die in an instant?”

"Even if an interstellar civilization attacks, it is impossible to kill the entire population in an instant. There will definitely be a small number of survivors who will continue to survive. So, as long as there is a sequence, someone will definitely leave something like a diary."

"This is extremely important to us, even as much as the large amount of technology we are about to acquire! We must understand how they became extinct..."

Having said this, Yu Yifeng has forgotten the embarrassment just now, but is deeply worried about the future of mankind...

It is really unbelievable that such a powerful civilization became extinct like this.

Is it an external factor or an internal reason?

Now that things have developed like this, is there still going to be an internal war?

Will humans encounter such a dilemma?

Seeing Yu Yifeng thinking hard, there was a smile in Yuriko's eyes: "I think the possibility of aliens attacking is very small. If they really want to attack, they can directly blow up the planet. They are probably still It became extinct due to internal reasons.”

"Remember those nuclear radiations... This is not the earth. There are only a few cities in total, and most of them rely on volcanoes or nuclear power plants for energy. As long as a few are destroyed by nuclear bombs, the population will be greatly reduced."

"Moreover, even if there is no survival diary or the most direct evidence, we can still deduce it from various clues..."

"Also...didn't you say that we will become an interstellar civilization? No matter how difficult it is ahead, or whether there is a one-hundred-millionth pass rate of the Great Strainer of Life, we will become an interstellar civilization, right?"

Facing Yuriko's serious eyes, Yu Yifeng was slightly stunned.

He thought for a long time and then said solemnly, like an oath: "Yes, we will!"
