The circular passage slowly retracted, closing into a metal ball of tens of cubic meters in size, which was retracted by the battleship, like a bait swallowed into the belly of a giant fish.The battleship was painted with the insignia of the Star Nuclear Fleet, looming in the light of the distant stars.Watching the battleship slowly leave, and then turn into a rainbow stream and disappear into the universe, Jing Jiu was still standing in front of the window, thoughtful.Huaxi pushed the medical cabin out of the room, began to make tea for him, and asked casually, "Don't worry?"
”Jing Jiu thought about what Xilai had just said, looked at the slightly flashing ring, didn't know what Ran Handong would have to say about the exact news, and said, "I want to know everything that happened to Xilai." ”Huaxi didn't pretend to know anything as naively as before, looked at the reddish lines on the surface of the iron kettle, and said softly: "You actually care about other people's affairs?"
”Jing Jiu said: "Other people's business is often your own business. ”Huaxi was silent for a while, and said: "The military department is very strict with those secret bases, and I need a while." ”………… A few days later, the Battleship Sun returned to the outer edge of the 857 galaxy, not as close to the gray planet as before.Jing Jiu returned to the ring base with Huaxi, and the young cyborg officer was not waiting for them in the suite, not knowing where he went.Monotonous footsteps sounded in the quiet circular passage.He walked deeper into the base, glancing at the alloy walls as he passed the floor-to-ceiling windows, but saw no trace.The balding Professor Long was gone, and he didn't know where he had gone.The professors and scholars were so engrossed in their research that they had no idea what was going on in the outside world, let alone an explosion on the planet and what kind of dangers humanity had encountered, until the colleagues who had gone on vacation returned and the lab was full of talk.Passing through the transparent passage where the magma rushed in his face, and following the guidance of the Yimao Zhai formation, Jing Jiu landed among the cliffs and pushed open the heavy bronze door—behind the door was still the starry sky, but after these days of travel, it became a little different in his eyes—it became more familiar, and it became closer, and after all, it was a little bit of cause and effect.Zeng sat cross-legged in the air, his eyes closed, a little tired, and the starry sky shone on his face, adding some sacred meaning.Jing Jiu knew that this saint was deducing and calculating the stellar ignition plan, and he didn't know how many years he had been thinking about it, and how many years he would have to think about it without himself.Then he thought of those scholars who had been specially recruited by the military, who had spent their entire lives doing research work in this ring base, burning their lives and dedicating their wisdom until they died."
Is it worth it?"
He asked."
Scholars and soldiers in the ring base and many places will not be able to return to human society in this life, and they will not be able to have a normal or ordinary life.And until they die, human society does not know what they have sacrificed, and it is even more confusing that maybe until the day they die, they will not be able to see the moment of the decisive battle between humans and the sea of dark matter, it is indeed difficult to say that it is worth it, but this is only for everyone. ”Zeng Ju opened his eyes, looked at him and said calmly: "I don't avoid it because of blessings and misfortunes, because this is a catastrophe for the entire human race, and it can't be avoided at all, so I won't think of myself and mankind as great." ”Jing Jiu said: "This is a good answer. ”Zeng Ju looked at him and said with relief: "Since you are back, you should have your own answer." ”Yes, if Jing Jiu is not willing to accept the request of the cocoon breakers to fight for the future of human civilization for the rest of his life, then what will he do when he comes back?"
In fact, for those scholars, this kind of life is not too hard, they can meet like-minded companions, they can get in touch with the scientific and technological knowledge of the forefront of human civilization and the treasures left by ancient civilization, this kind of happiness is difficult to find in human society, there are many entertainment facilities in the base, they can also go on vacation, as for family life.Of course, all of this doesn't make sense to you......"
Zeng Ju turned off the tracking calculation program of the starry sky probe, flew back to the cliff, looked at Jing Jiu and said, "So what is the reason for your hesitation?"
”Jing Jiu asked, "You have been presiding over this formation underground all these years?"
”Zeng Ju said: "The closer to the Chaotian Continent, the greater the difference in time flow, and other places are relatively smaller, I have been here for more than two hundred years, and I have been out more than a dozen times in the middle, which is not difficult." ”Nine years ago, when a dimensional space rift appeared on Topaz III, this saint was the first to rush over and stayed for a long time at great risk.The Ascendant's immortal body is basically not impregnated with those spores, but it will still have problems after a long time of direct contact with the Sea of Dark Matter.A few days ago, the star nuclear fleet suddenly appeared to be infiltrated, and it was he who rushed over to help Shen Yunbury stabilize the situation.It is conceivable that he has left the 857 base more than a dozen times, and it is not a vacation, nor is it a distraction, it is such a dangerous thing.Because of Bu Qiuxiao and Xi Yiyun, Jing Jiu's impression of Yimaozhai has always been very good, of course, the main reason is that Liu should have become the owner of Yimaozhai by now when he is ten years old.He also had a good feeling about Zeng Ju, and decided to be more direct with the other party, asking, "I have a question." ”Last time, he asked the other party what kind of weapon the ancient civilization used to destroy Planet 857, and the other party said that General Li would tell him, and he had other questions besides that."
Canglong, Qilin, and Yuan Turtle have not ascended, but there should be other ascenders before the human race."
Jing Jiu said: "For example, the mythical Vermilion Bird, and then the giant clan on the sea, where is it?"
”"At that time, the Galaxy Alliance had not yet recovered, and that person had not woken up yet, and the age was too old to have too many records."
Zeng Ju said: "According to our calculations, those powerful beings may try to survive the long galaxy, and of course, they may also encounter the sea of dark matter. ”Jing Jiu said: "What exactly is a brood?
Shen Yunburi's explanation is too bad. ”Zeng Ju was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, maybe the brood may be the monster after those powerful beings have been infected. ”Jing Jiu said, "This is why the Ascendant needs to be examined?
”"Most of the time after my ascension was here, I was in charge of calculating the formation, and I rarely touched the outside world."
Zeng Ju looked at the stars outside the cliff and said indifferently: "Your situation is special this time, so I will join in the process of investigation, speaking of which, when you and General Li talked in the Museum of Modern Art, it was the second time I went to the main star."
But you're right, and that's why the Ascendant needs to be examined in order to be trusted. ”If the giants of the sea and the vermilion bird will be impregnated by the sea of dark matter, and eventually become a terrifying monster like the Super Mother Hive, then why should the Ascended be an exception?
An ascendant who does not have the courage to commit suicide in the face of the ultimate darkness will become the greatest threat to human civilization.The Ascendant must be examined and all have to answer the question—do you dare?
Only if the answer is correct, he will be accepted, otherwise it is better to be erased in advance.Like the White Blade and that Immortal, the Ascended Ones who didn't have the courage to leave the Chaotian Continent at all were in any danger.Compared to this question, it doesn't matter what kind of good or evil there is.These words sounded very reasonable, but Jing Jiu still didn't see it that way, and said, "It's inexplicable. ”"The existence and destruction of a civilization requires all kinds of caution, although I can't fully accept your Qingshan Sect's approach, but I can understand it."
Zeng Ju said: "Life is really peculiar, human nature is just a hidden petal in between, and anything can be done for existence." ”Jing Jiu suddenly asked, "Where is the ancestor?"
”Because of this problem, the field suddenly became extremely quiet, and even the sea of stars outside the cliff seemed to begin to flicker.Zeng Ju was surprised, and it took a long time to calm down and said, "I don't know. ”Jing Jiu said, "You know. ”Zeng Ju said: "I really don't know. ”Jing Jiu said, "You should know. ”Zeng Ju was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
”Jing Jiu said: "Because you have watched this starry sky here for more than 200 years, if you can't count it, then why do you soar?"
”Countless billions of stars hang silently in the core of the earth, and in fact there are many changes hidden in between.There are patterns in those changes, and the patterns point to many points, those points that people want to know.Zeng Ju looked at the starry sky, was silent for a long time, and said, "Why do you ask me?"
”Jing Jiu said, "Because you trust me. ”Zeng Ju retracted his gaze, looked into his eyes and asked, "What are you going to do?"
