Earth Era

Seeing this star map, one of Wei Feng's speculations was confirmed. That is, this unknown civilization did not arrive here from an alien galaxy. It came from the interior of the solar system, from the fourth planet around the sun, Mars.

It is precisely because of this that Wei Feng was able to discover the remains of their spacecraft around the solar system when this civilization did not yet have the ability to navigate large-scale interstellar space.

"You really are from the solar system..." Wei Feng murmured, "You existed in the solar system five to six hundred million years ago, while our human civilization exists in the solar system at this moment. We were born in the same galaxy, but Because of the time gap, they don't know each other's existence."

"Well... 500 million to 600 million years ago, simple multicellular organisms already appeared on the earth. I wonder if this has anything to do with your Martian civilization? The birth of our human civilization... Will it be related to What is the relationship between your Martian civilizations?"

At this time, Wei Feng had such a question in his heart. But now is not a good time to go deeper into this question, Wei Feng temporarily let go of these doubts, and then continued to read.

After a brief introduction to the entire history of the Martian civilization, the document continued: "We believe that if the physical rules in this universe are universal, then the development of scientific and technological civilizations should have certain commonalities. In other words, technological civilization will follow the development of biological energy, chemical energy, and atomic energy. We have no way to confirm the correctness of this, but at the moment looking at this information, it comes from a new Civilized you can probably prove this right or wrong."

When he saw this, Wei Feng nodded silently. Wei Feng can indeed confirm this, because the development of human civilization is also like this. In the primitive society period, human beings could only rely on their own strength or the strength of domesticated livestock to survive. pass. Then human beings mastered chemical energy, and then mastered atomic energy. This is very consistent with what is described in this document from the Martian civilization.

The reason for this is exactly as stated in this document. "The laws of physics in this universe are universal." Since this rule is applicable throughout the universe, the first thing that a technological civilization masters must be the simplest. Bioenergy is simpler than chemical energy, and chemical energy is simpler than atomic energy, so bioenergy must be mastered first. Chemical energy is next, and atomic energy is again.

"If you can confirm this, then you can also confirm this next point. Before saying this, let me make a little guess about your civilization. I think if our technological civilization develops If you have something in common, then your civilization will also encounter a "dead knot", that is, the contradiction between "the energy carrying capacity of the parent star system" and "the needs of civilization development". At this moment, since your civilization can travel from far away An unknown star system came to this small solar system, so your civilization must have broken this dead pair?"

Wei Feng shook his head silently. Obviously, human civilization has not broken the dead knot at this moment, and human civilization has now embarked on a path that is almost the same as that of Mars civilization. Moreover, the Martian who left this information did not expect that another technological civilization would be born from the solar system, and finally human civilization discovered the relics left by it, not some distant alien. The star system was discovered by civilizations that came here.

"I'm not curious about how your civilization broke this dead knot, although our civilization did not find a way to break the dead knot until it finally perished. After all, our civilization has perished, and the method of breaking the dead knot has lost its meaning to us. . But I still want to congratulate your civilization. You have passed the first major obstacle to the universe."

"Compared to our civilization, your civilization is fortunate enough. Unabashedly, I envy you very much. If your civilization has experienced those hardships in the process of breaking the knot, you can probably understand us. The feeling of civilization at the moment. When we look up to the sky, we can see many stars, a colorful universe, and many things and phenomena that are worth pursuing in our entire lives, but because of the existence of dead knots, Our footsteps have always been trapped in this small star system and cannot get out. Our technology has stalled, our energy supply has bottlenecked, and our culture has gradually changed from enterprising to greedy for pleasure. We've gone from a brave and progressive civilization to a pitiful creature waiting to die. I think you can probably understand how desperate it feels."

"Your civilization can continue to travel in this universe, you can go to many different star systems in person, and you can really go to many wonderful places in this universe to observe them. Your technology is always improving. , and... our civilization has been buried in the dust of time, I think, you can probably only restore the situation that our civilization once existed through the few words I described."

Wei Feng's expression gradually dimmed. Because Wei Feng knows that human civilization is not worthy of the envy of Martian civilization. The dead knot that killed the Martian civilization hundreds of millions of years ago is also plaguing human civilization at the moment. Whether the final outcome of human civilization is the extinction of Wei Feng is unclear. But Wei Feng knew that human civilization at the moment was on the road to death, and, from the current situation, this trend was irreversible.

"Okay." It was written on the document, "After all, our civilization has perished, and I am really not reconciled to the disappearance of our civilization from this universe, so I will tell you a little more in detail. The history of our civilization. If possible, I ask your civilization to record it all, so that at least some life will still remember us after our civilization has perished."

Wei Feng said silently: "Although our civilization is also likely to go down the road of extinction, but... I promise you, I will record everything you have told. I also hope... one day in the future, If human civilization really perishes, a civilization that still exists in this universe can not only remember your Martian civilization, but also our human civilization. After all, we have traveled in this universe, and we will not leave behind If we order something... we won't be reconciled."

This document is followed by some descriptions about the social culture, technological level, scope of involvement, social changes, etc. of the Martian civilization. Looking at these words, Wei Feng seems to have also come to the solar system five or six billion years ago. The Martians relived these experiences.

After these descriptions, Wei Feng saw a line of shocking words.

"As the contradictions became so intense that they were irreconcilable, the Martian civilization finally split, and a protracted war finally began between the two camps."

"I don't want to describe the course of the war in detail, because it is a scar deep inside each of us surviving Martians at this moment. At the same time, I also believe that you can imagine the vastness of this war. It In the end, it ended with a certain faction throwing a large number of strategic weapons on the sun. The enraged sun poured its anger into the entire solar system with unstoppable power, and the entire solar system became purgatory, and all the planets were no longer suitable for survival. , this faction destroyed its hostile faction, but at this time, this faction found that the demise of the enemy did not bring any benefit to itself. It only had a population of less than 10 million, and many technological inheritances were cut off. We There is not even enough power to fight against the sinister living environment in the solar system at this moment."

"If we hadn't irritated the sun... the solar system might allow us to continue to thrive~www.readwn.com~ It is not impossible to recreate the glory of our civilization someday in the future. But the solar system at this moment is no longer It is suitable for survival. The only hope of our civilization is to escape to a stable star system and continue our civilization there. So we gathered all the scientific research forces left at the moment to develop a black hole engine, and we hope to use this The new engine will send us to the distant Nanmen two galaxies."

"But when the escape plan was carried out for hundreds of years, we found that the black hole engine is not suitable for long-distance interstellar travel. Because it can provide a long-term stable source of energy, but its own mass is too large, which leads to Our spaceship can only travel at an extremely slow speed, which means that it will take a long time to escape to the Nanmen 2 galaxy, and this time is not less than three thousand years. In such a long time, the parts of the spaceship alone The damage and the consumption of spare parts are enough to drag us to death, not to mention the rest of the reserves on the spacecraft, such as air for breathing, such as food for survival... Even if the strategy of long-term hibernation is adopted, the nutrient solution Consumption is not something we can afford.”

"So the fleeing fleet split again. Some of the fleets insisted on the original goal of voyage to the Nanmen two galaxies, while the other part of the fleet planned to return to the solar system, even if they died, they would die in the solar system. And... what you found at this moment. This ship is part of the returning fleet." (To be continued.)
