Salatiel clapped his hands with satisfaction, ignoring the inexorable unfamiliarity among the members of each group: "Hello everyone, I know you each have your own position, but we are not in our hometown, in this universe.

In space, we all have a common identity - a member of the Riel Civilization. I know that I am not a real captain here, but I sincerely hope that during this journey, everyone can temporarily put aside their differences for the sake of

We work together for a common goal.”

"The universe is beautiful, but it is also very dangerous. Although I have always hoped to die in a corner where no one can reach, I don't think you would be willing to accompany me, right?" Salatir joked to liven up the atmosphere.

So that’s it, cooking class, serving food!”

Xiao Yao and Xiao Hui looked at each other and said with interest: "This captain is not a bad person."

"She is vigilant enough." Xiao Hui blinked in agreement, "It's just that if she was really wise, she shouldn't have participated in this operation at all."

Xiao Yao nodded. He agreed with Xiao Hui's words - a truly wise person would never commit suicide to personally participate in exhuming the remains of the old gods. But he didn't say much this time. After all, there were many idle people around him.

There are too many, and some things are too troublesome to explain.

Riel's food was very bland, so Xiao Yao was a little uncomfortable with the strong taste. After filling his food in a hurry, he stood up and left the table, planning to return to his post.

Regarding his position... Well, Xiao Yao has been avoiding thinking about this matter, because the position of Riel he is currently taking is a bit embarrassing for him...

Well, he is a top scholar of biological reproduction, and he came here to find out how the old gods had sex...

Ahem, let's be serious. He is a member of the scientific research team. After collecting the remains of the old gods, he will be responsible for studying the reproduction methods of this terrifying life form.

"Well, anyway, I only know that the One who unites all things is born from the nameless fog, and I still haven't figured out whether the nameless fog is the father or the mother... It's even possible that the gods in the old days have no gender. As for the old gods,

The reproduction method of the sun god... I always feel that it is better not to know." Xiao Yao wandered slowly in the corridor. Since he really didn't want to stay in his personal room full of paintings of the reproductive organs of various creatures, he decided to go out.

Out and around the corner.

As for that room...heh, it is said that it was decorated according to the interests and hobbies of the Riel he replaced. Xiao Yao now seriously suspects that he was arranged by the Messiah, allowing himself to replace a person in this civilization retrospect, which is very harmful to himself.

The perversion of personality...

"Hi, you're here too." A clearer voice sounded from behind.

Xiao Yao first made a judgment and felt that the voice sounded like that of a woman, and then... forgive him because he couldn't recognize the faces of the Riels, so what difference does it make!

"The universe is really beautiful, isn't it?" Riel was lying on the side window in fascination, looking at the slowly rotating galaxy, "The breath of the stars danced with long flames, and the stars dragged their tails past,

The black hole swallows the stream of light together...and those old people who are so powerful beyond our imagination, I feel that even if I die here, it is worth it."

Well, Xiao Yao now probably knows who Riel is in front of him - there is probably no one else who has made such an unlucky statement.

"Captain, aren't you nervous?" Xiao Yao concealed his recent facial blindness very well and leaned casually on the wall nearby, "We are about to come into contact with god-like creatures."

"Nervous, of course nervous," Salatir admitted frankly, "We have all seen that video, and just watching the replay almost caused a nervous breakdown... The old gods, although they are only living entities, but I

There is no doubt that they are capable of taking on an entire civilization."

Xiao Yao nodded slightly, he knew one thing very well - even if Saratir said this, she still underestimated the gods of the old days. The old days are to human beings, just like elephants to ants, Riel civilization is his

The most powerful civilization I have ever seen, but after all, the Riels are just mortal creatures, not gods.

Maybe when civilization develops, it will eventually become indistinguishable from gods. Maybe then civilization will have the ability to slaughter the past like livestock... But the current Riel civilization is still far from reaching that step.

"But...now that we're here, fear is superfluous - the most important thing on the journey is to be happy! If you are afraid of that kind of thing, you have to leave it to courage to overcome it!" Captain Salatil showed a cheerful smile.

, it can be seen that she did not take the danger to heart at all.

After all, this starship condenses the top technology of the entire Riel civilization, completely

All have the destructive power to completely destroy the surface of the planet in an instant - this is where the confidence of the Riels lies.

It's just a pity——

"Weakness is not an obstacle to survival, arrogance is."

"What did you say?" Salatir asked suspiciously, not hearing Xiao Yao's words murmuring in human language clearly.

"It's nothing." Xiao Yao said with a decent smile, "It's just a hometown dialect used to express emotion."

No one can undo what has happened.

…

It was a strange star field.

It was empty and dead, stars were extinguished, planets were shattered, and pieces of meat the size of asteroids were scattered and floating. Twisted tentacles grew on the pieces of meat and hung down feebly. It seemed that the pieces had tried to be rejoined and healed through the tentacles.

Everything, but still failed, these broken pieces of flesh occasionally collided with each other, causing ripples in the layers of tentacles.

The starships of the Riels are as big as the moon of the planet Colo, but they appear so small in this dead star field. Many fragments of the old gods are larger than it.

Only at this moment of true seeing can ordinary people truly see... what gods are... what the past is...

That is a greatness beyond the reach of mortals.

The mechanical arm that was so smooth that it reflected the stars in the sky slowly extended from the front end of the spacecraft. It was an instrument made of strong interaction materials, with a geometry similar to that of a neutron star that cannot be destroyed by any conventional material - Xiao Yao also saw it with his own eyes.

Only then did I believe that this fictional product in "The Three-Body Problem" was actually created by the Riels!

Of course, the Riels cannot mass-produce strong interaction materials like plastics at will. However, the use of such a strong enough material is enough to show that the Riels attach great importance to this mining operation.

Before, the Riels had not considered putting on space suits, working directly in outer space, and personally mining god-like biological tissues - but the people who were sent out for space walks did not stay long before they escaped in embarrassment.

After examination by the medical team, their spirits almost collapsed.
