Earth Era

So far, Wei Feng's doubts have been solved. Wei Feng finally fully understood what the wise old man told him, "When I came here, the materials were completely prepared".

These things are really ready. The Martian civilization prepared these things. When the situation fell into despair and there was no power to return to the sky, the last Martian began a long hibernation, intending to use this at the cost of the extinction of the entire civilization. , to trade what they need to survive.

Wei Feng has already dissected a Martian, so he has a certain understanding of the physical structure of a Martian. The physiological structure of Martians is different from that of humans, but they are also carbon-based organisms, and they need food composed of various organic substances and inorganic minerals to survive.

Wei Feng did some calculations and came up with a set of data: "Even if this Martian can survive for 10,000 years, the total amount of resources it consumes is only as follows: no more than 20,000 tons of air, no More than seven thousand tons of water, no more than five thousand tons of food, and other miscellaneous things."

Compared with a civilization or a planet, these resources... are not even a drop in the bucket.

And... those countless Martian scientists have exhausted their efforts to work on data that may have been acquired over thousands of years, the lives of countless Martians, and the countless hours spent on interstellar voyages... The wisdom of this entire civilization is crystallized in The value in this transaction is that little bit above.

Wei Feng felt a deep sadness. Wei Feng didn't know how to describe this feeling. Wei Feng instinctively felt that this transaction was unfair, but... Wei Feng couldn't find where the unfairness was. The Martian in front of him is actually the entirety of the Martian civilization. Even if it is extravagant, how many resources can it consume? In other words, even if human civilization wants to increase the price paid by itself in this transaction. The Martian couldn't enjoy it either. Because it's only one person.

Wei Feng paced back and forth in the inner space of the pyramid, and was silent for a long time before saying: "This transaction is a very cost-effective transaction for us, and I can agree to this transaction on behalf of our civilization. It's just... I have some remaining questions that I would like to hear from you."

Until this moment, what the wise old man said, "it took a hundred years to investigate, but still can't find the answer" is still deeply troubled by Wei Feng. The wise old man said that if you let yourself come to this pyramid and take a look, you will understand. So Wei Feng made this request at this moment.

"Yes, as long as I know, I can tell you everything. Just treat it as something that was included in this transaction," said the artificial intelligence.

"Okay." Wei Feng nodded, and then said: "Can you send me everything you know, all the data stored in your memory. I want to use these things to unlock some of the things I have for you Doubts of Martian civilization."

Originally, Wei Feng thought that his request might be rejected because it was too much, but to Wei Feng's expectation, this artificial intelligence did not hesitate at all. It replied immediately: "Okay. Because of the large amount of data, the transfer may take a while, please wait."

Wei Feng nodded, and at the same time instructed Ye Luo: "You store all these data."

The data transmission took about a few hours, and then Wei Feng left the pyramid. When Wei Feng left the Pyramid, the land had already entered the twilight. Four-fifths of Alpha Centauri a star has fallen below the horizon, but the remaining one-fifth is still bright and blinding.

After a day's scorching of the earth, it is slowly releasing its own temperature into space, and Wei Feng saw that some of the ground that had been melted by the sun had a tendency to solidify. Although I knew it was through the spacesuit. It is impossible for me to feel the temperature change outside, but Wei Feng still has a feeling of "finally cooling down a little".

The brilliance of the setting sun pulled long shadows from all the protrusions above the ground. Standing in the shadow of this huge pyramid, looking at this dilapidated building with a history of hundreds of millions of years, Wei Feng seemed to see the last afterimage of a great civilization in this vast universe.

Just as Wei Feng walked out of the pyramid, the dilapidated robot that led Wei Feng to this pyramid also drove out of the pyramid from the passage again. Its wheels were still crooked, and its whole body looked like it was about to fall apart at any moment. But it is still going strong. Wei Feng knows that there is some damage on this pyramid, so it needs to be dispatched again to repair it.

But this time things are a little different. Under Wei Feng's gaze, the robot stopped only after walking a few dozen meters away. Then Wei Feng saw something similar to electric sparks from it, and at the same time there was a black smoke coming out. The black smoke dissipated in an instant under the vacuum environment, and the robot completely lost its movement.

Wei Feng was still watching, and after a while, he saw another similar robot driving out of the passage. The robot is almost brand new, with no damage to it, and it drives much more smoothly. It just walked past Wei Feng, walked past the paralyzed and scrapped robot, then walked to the other side of the pyramid and disappeared from Wei Feng's sight.

"Captain, according to the data sent to me by the artificial intelligence, the service life of this kind of robot is generally about 30 years. Robots are used to undertake the maintenance of this pyramid.”

If you count one robot in 30 years... in 500 million years, there will be nearly 17 million robots. In the long time that has passed, so many robots have perished on this planet.

"What, have you sorted out some information?" Wei Feng asked Ye Luo. Ye Luo immediately replied: "Yes, Captain. I have already compiled some valuable information. Based on my own logical judgment mechanism, I think I probably know what the problem that has plagued the wise old man for nearly a hundred years is."

At this moment, the Alpha Centauri star has completely sunk, but the Blue Night Star has not fallen into darkness. Because this is a binary star system, in addition to a star, there is also a b star.

Alpha Centauri b is currently hanging in the celestial sphere. It is bright, many times brighter than the full moon above Earth. After star a disappeared, star b continued to undertake the task of illuminating the blue night star.

The universe is dark blue and dark, but the sky above the Blue Night Star looks blue in the light of the b star. Wei Feng knew that this was the origin of the name "Blue Night Star".

The stars are full of stars and the bright moon is in the sky. If you ignore the harsh natural environment above the Blue Night Star, this is really a wonderful picture. So Wei Feng sat down on the ground at will, leaning against a rock, looking at the magnificent sky, and said to Ye Luo: "Have you solved the problem that is bothering the wise old man? So good, Tell me about it."

After a moment of silence, Ye Luo said: "Before I say this question, I need to tell you some other things. First of all, our speculation that the Martian civilization once rested on the Blue Night Star was correct. This information This is clearly recorded in it. It says that the Martian civilization has survived on the Blue Night Star for more than 300 years. During this period, they used the inexhaustible solar energy as their energy source. With the rich mineral resources here, a large number of living and residential areas have been established. During this period of time, although their technological level has been degraded for 50 years, the total population has soared from less than 200,000 to nearly 30 million. ."

"Oh..." Wei Feng said lightly, "This is a good thing for the original Martian civilization... As long as the population base recovers, the degradation of technology can be curbed, and it benefits from the Interstellar Voyage Institute. With the key data accumulated, it is entirely possible for the Martian civilization to break through the limit of the dead knot and truly enter the interstellar era."

"But... the Martian civilization finally perished." Ye Luo said.

"Why? Is it because of the war?"

"Yes ~www.readwn.com~ because of the war." Ye Luo said.

"Where did the enemy come from?" Wei Feng asked again.

"From inside the Martian civilization," Ye Luo said, "they describe this as follows: In order to better survive and develop technology, we opened this box, and when we released "it", we did gain Many benefits have been achieved, but over time, we have found that "it" has become somewhat out of our control. As the situation worsened, we had to launch a large-scale, used to eliminate "it" In the end, "it" was completely eliminated by us, and our civilization completely declined, and the population dropped from more than 30 million at its peak to less than 10,000."

"Leaving us is devastated, our homeland has been destroyed... The inheritance of science and technology will also be destroyed. But fortunately, because of the highest level of protection, those most critical scientific data are still well preserved. Just... If If our civilization is going to perish, what use is this scientific data?"

"We thought 'it' was an angel, but... 'it' was actually a demon. From the moment it was released, the eventual demise of our civilization was doomed." (To be continued.) (www ..)
