Chapter 709: Awakening from a Dream, Obtaining a Coordinate
However, the subsequent development of events also confirmed the saying "If God wishes for his death, he will be driven crazy".
The Flood was rebuilt from the bodies of the Pioneers, but the Pioneers still had enough control over the Flood, and the real reason why they retreated was because the Pioneers gave humans a test on the "Mantle".
The term "mantle" originated from the philosophical meaning formed by the pioneer clan's attitude towards themselves and all things in the universe.
As "super-sensory" creatures, the Pioneers have long been freed from the constraints of organic physical form and are described as "dreamers and doers with wide-area knowledge, numerous forms, massive voices, and a single goal."
According to their theory, although the organic life forms in it are very different, the universe itself is a living whole. The pioneer's creed is that "the evolution of all organic life contributes to the evolution of this huge whole", and they themselves are
He continues to practice his beliefs and changes his form countless times.
The Pioneers are responsible for sowing the seeds of life in the Milky Way, creating diverse species combinations between galaxies to cultivate their own "new tools and new partners." They also create millions of galaxies, and use long-term observations to judge a species
Do you have the responsibility to inherit the "mantle" - the defender of life?
In the beginning, the Forerunners were their most ideal and most conscientious assistants and lieutenants.
But the Forerunners soon developed a huge military force - a group of warrior warriors. And in their subsequent actions, the Forerunners may have distorted the original concept of "mantle" and regarded it as a concept similar to cosmic peacekeeping, and gradually
Work hard to become the "grand master" of the galaxy.
But the problem is that the concept of "everyone is the master" is completely contrary to the pioneer's concept of "enlighteners" who hope that all intelligent races in the galaxy will flourish and develop unique civilization characteristics!
For this reason, the pioneers are preparing to convey the concept of "mantle" to another race they have inspired, "humanity" - and what will happen to the forerunner race that loses the right to inherit the mantle?
This is unimaginable.
But a dramatic change occurred in the middle: the Forerunner race actually knew in advance that they had lost their inheritance rights—this was unacceptable to them.
They decided to strike first and eradicate their creator, their father - the pioneer race.
As a result, the Forerunners were successfully driven out of the galaxy for unknown reasons... although for the Forerunners, this was also a tragic victory with heavy losses.
But for the primordia who are prisoners, it is meaningless for the Forerunner race to murder them and even drive them out of the galaxy - because since they can reverse life and death and change forms at the same time, even if they destroy the body of the Forerunners at this time, what can they do?
how is it?
But the Forerunners' indifference to attacks does not mean that provocation can be forgiven: angered by the Forerunners, they used their powerful technology to gather at least 12 unknown creatures (including a Forerunner) and created the terrifying Zerg-Flood.
, decided to release this biological weapon in the galaxy as a means of sanctions, and lead a trial to reassess the development direction of life.
Yes, at least according to Primordial, the inexplicable crash of several ships carrying strange organic powders on human remote planets was not accidental.
The Pioneers also want to use this to test whether humans can truly inherit the "mantle" and bring prosperity to the galaxy after the conflict with the Zerg, or whether the galaxy will succumb to the Zerg and create another highly integrated peace.
Anyway, there are only two outcomes: the successor of the Pioneer's "mantle" succeeds, and the Pioneer's plan is completed in the galaxy; or the Zerg conquers everything, and the Pioneer abandons the galaxy and hands the future of the galaxy to the Zerg.
The result of the test is: Humanity has passed the test of the pioneers and has obtained the qualification to inherit the "mantle" - and this also unveiled the final veil for the series of tragedies that followed.
Humanity, which was recognized by the Pioneers, soon happily forgot about the Flood disaster caused by the Pioneers, received a large amount of research assistance from the Pioneers' technology, and directly began to regard itself as the "sole" successor of the Pioneers. From here, it can
It can be seen that General Enqiu and even the entire human civilization have completely lost their will.
The "soft" side of one's nature has all developed towards the "hard" side.
All the caution that had been taken to live in seclusion on a remote planet in order not to go head-to-head with the Forerunners was gone, leaving only vanity and arrogance.
Originally, in the not-too-distant past...it meant that thousands of years ago, humans bombed the planets of several Forerunner races without instructions in order to kill the Flood.
But now they realize that the technological level of the ancient humans, who are the heirs of the "self-proclaimed" pioneers, is about to develop rapidly, and their constant provocations have brought a strong sense of crisis to the forerunners. The forerunners finally couldn't bear it, and took the lead in launching a war based on old and new grudges.
As a result, despite the great momentum of the alliance between humans and San'Shyuum, humanity's own foundation has not been fully restored due to the Flood War, and the Pioneer technology obtained cannot be utilized to a large extent in a short period of time.
Therefore, under the command of the Forerunner Legion Commander Didact, the home planet Earth, now named Ed Trini, fell under the first wave of attacks.
But the home planet does not represent the capital. Humanity immediately gathered all its strength to guard the Alliance capital planet Charm Harker. They used the Forerunner's technology and defensive fortresses to continue to resist the powerful Forerunner star fleet, even with the aid of the San'Shyuum Legion.
After the route was cut off, humans continued to resist for more than fifty years until today...but that was all.
With the fall of the San'Shyuum's home planet, the biggest problem now is that the planet Charm Hark has been completely isolated and helpless, and the defense system has been in danger as people's hearts become more and more desperate - maybe the next fierce attack from the Forerunners will be
When the city of Chamhark planet was destroyed.
Recalling in the mind of the chief military attaché, the past grandeur of mankind until its now about to be dim and lonely ending.
Xie Yuan couldn't help but lament the correctness of a sentence: "Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is."
Then he was suddenly interrupted by a sentence: "Well, you are right. It is a pity that the forerunners also forgot this sentence - and in the future, they will pay a heavy price for their arrogance."
"Hmm. Hmm?!" Xie Yuan just wanted to nod, but suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to say it out loud. Who was picking up my words?
Then when he raised his head and saw the creature on the opposite side, Xie Yuan was so frightened that he almost staggered - he only saw a few pairs of slightly trembling abdominal claws. Then he slowly raised his head and saw a huge biological form standing in front of him.
in front of oneself.
This guy is at least six meters tall, even taller than Iron Man, and very huge - Xie Yuan suspected that this guy might be able to read minds.
"First meeting, Yuan." The huge creature waved its front legs gently, while its huge hind legs were in a recurved state like an insect to support his body, "I am the primordial, finally meet
is you."
This is the primordium?!
Xie Yuan was obviously surprised. General Enqiu actually allowed him to come to this place that had been closed for a long time?
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan immediately felt something. Only then did he realize that there was no entourage around him, only the tearful General Enqiu and a sad-looking woman next to him - this was Yapi Lin, the chief scientist of human interstellar civilization.
.
He is also a person who hides extravagance, and seems to have some unclear relationship with grudges... Usually the two of them rarely get close to each other in public, but today - but today is indeed not a public occasion.
Xie Yuan was suddenly puzzled - what did General Enqiu and Yapilin want to do with him meeting this primitive?
Before Xie Yuan could say anything, General Enqiu suddenly replied to Xie Yuan: "Humanity is about to enter the countdown to destruction. The day when Chamuhak is overthrown will be the day when we die.
But we cannot leave the future fate of mankind entirely in the hands of the Forerunner race - you can't imagine whether they will directly wipe out our entire race or let mankind suffer some unspeakable punishment - so we have to protect ourselves.
And Your Majesty Primordial is willing to help us get a chance to preserve our current human civilization."
Just as he was talking, Yapilin opened the personal information terminal—this thing is also a biomass computer implanted in the human body, but it was in a confrontation with Xie Yuan.
The difference between the orange light holographic projection of the volume effect is that it is turquoise.
After a while of Yapilin's operation, in front of the original cage, there was a sudden sound of mechanical operation next to Xie Yuan. The originally tight ground suddenly opened a big hole, and something similar to a stasis capsule suddenly popped out.
.
"This is a specially-made stasis chamber, which contains a molecular recombination device based on neurotechnology."
Yuanji, who had been almost silent except for answering the conversation and saying hello to Xie Yuan, introduced to Xie Yuan: "Through this machine, your technical chief will engrave on you a large number of basic technologies and cutting-edge developments that you can fully understand.
of genetic information.
Then I will activate the conversion technology and store this stasis capsule in the migration space to avoid possible catastrophe for you humans."
Wow! Do you want to play so big?
Xie Yuan even wanted to refuse directly, but then he thought about it. Molecular recombination sounds a bit scary, but in fact it is just a data engraving on the same person named "Yuan", rather than any thoughts about his real body.
.
Moreover, since this body was summoned here... it is probably not only the high hopes of human civilization at this time, but also the consciousness of the original owner of this body.
If he refuses, he will not only tarnish the honor of this soldier, but also not make any progress in the current situation - not to mention the primordial locked in the transparent cell, General Guang Enqiu himself, Xie Yuan feels that in the force
It seems to be three points stronger - you must know that Xie Yuan is comparing the physical strength of this body... it is stronger than his real body.
Therefore, thinking of this, Xie Yuan finally raised his hands and saluted to show his understanding: "Roger, General... I am willing to make a contribution for the sake of mankind."
Anyway, as soon as he was in the stasis cabin, Xie Yuan immediately left, so that no one would be offended and he could leave quickly.
After seeing Xie Yuan agreeing, Yapilin and Enqiu breathed a sigh of relief. Among them, Enqiu suppressed his excitement and said with tears in his eyes: "Good brother...I have wronged you."
Actually...if you are afraid of death, you can come in.
Xie Yuan complained in his heart, but the matter has come to this, and it is not Xie Yuan's style to change his mind, so let's leave it like this. Soon, Xie Yuan put on the specially made armor - the armor has an integrated life support system, which can
Even if the body's stasis function is destroyed in the stasis chamber, the microcirculation can help the body survive for a hundred years.
It's a pity...Xie Yuan can't use the universal tool to scan this thing. Xie Yuan really wants this armor.
After Xie Yuan had already laid down in the stasis chamber, Xie Yuan realized that not only himself was hidden in the chamber, but also five boxes of miniature embryo storage boxes, each containing two thousand human embryos.
It seems that human civilization is so desperate that it no longer has a tomorrow. Ten thousand human embryos must be placed in each humanoid stasis chamber for species preservation.
But before Xie Yuanzai closed the hatch of the stasis cabin, he suddenly asked General Enqiu who came to say goodbye to him: "Then who will be the one to receive me?"
"When the time comes, someone will naturally come to liberate you." After speaking, General Enqiu rolled his eyes and glanced in the direction of the original base.
Xie Yuan understood. It turned out that Yuanji was the one who released him later... But what chips did he accept to be moved to do this?
But it was too late to ask again, the hatch cover had fallen, and Xie Yuan saw General Enqiu's eyes full of tears and the corners of his mouth twitching...
Xie Yuan saw it, and he said: "Take care, the future glory of mankind will definitely be attributed to you - even if no one realizes this..."
"Alas! I don't need any glory." Xie Yuan is not very enthusiastic about being recorded in history in the future. "It would be great if you could give me your basic technical theory or understandable high technology."
As the stasis stance gradually started to activate, Xie Yuan silently recited "System, return!" before gradually losing consciousness.
This is his only reliance, and at this moment
Just hope it works...
"Congratulations to the executor for completing the challenge: Nankeyimeng..."
The next moment, Xie Yuan, who was sitting on the camp bed in the first mate's office on the ship of the Shadow Broker, opened his eyes leisurely and just regained consciousness when he saw these words appear in his retinas.
"Damn! Is this a dream?!" Xie Yuan suddenly woke up, "This can be a dream! It's so clear..."
Xie Yuangang, who had just woken up, wanted to complain about the system but didn't know what he had done with it. Suddenly, he found that the details of what happened in the dream began to gradually disappear...
He actually didn't have any memory of the dream just now in a short period of time!!
"What the hell!" Xie Yuan immediately stood up and began to search his memory, but apparently he remembered yesterday that he lost a modified hydrogen fuel cell in the Maryland forest and pulled Annette, her daughter, and Carla Radames into it.
The spacecraft, then volunteering as a tour guide, then sleeping...
It’s gone in the end!
It's like, in his memory, Xie Yuan knew that he had just had a dream, but now he couldn't remember the content of the dream clearly after waking up!
Xie Yuan's only impression was that the dream at that time was very real - so real that he seemed to be experiencing it rather than dreaming.
Did the system tamper with my dreams? But for what? Do you hope I don’t know something?
However, if the system really wanted to hide something, why would Xie Yuan read the last part of the notice at this moment and obtain the latest coordinate data of the universe - this is a place where he can directly settle down and buy a house!
What is hidden in the dream?
Xie Yuan wanted to know, but his memory was gradually lost... Forget it, just take it one step at a time, it's useless to think too much. After thinking about it, Xie Yuan left the first officer's office and should do the business that needs to be done now.
Already.
For example, taking Annette and her daughter to a new world.
