People of the Starry Sky - this is what humans call these mysterious beings from the depths of the stars, while in Horleta, the ancient magic emperors called them "allies among the stars". ≧The real name of these mysterious beings is another
There are words, but because the language and vocabulary structure they use are so weird, it is difficult for ordinary races to accurately restore their racial names, whether through transliteration or free translation, so the races that have come into contact with these mysterious beings finally choose their own custom names.
Mode of address.
The image of the people of the starry sky is an amorphous mass of bright light, with little stars and lightning swimming inside. Some people believe that these creatures are formed by the most primitive and pure light in the universe, representing the purity of this world.
On the bright side. They possess weird technology that humans cannot understand - it may also be magic, and can cause various miracles. Some people even believe that they possess some kind of power beyond the material world, and thus can affect fate and the relationship between cause and effect.
Something ethereal and ethereal. The people of the starry sky first established communication with the humans on this planet through spiritual connections. Then they came to this planet through a strange optical phenomenon that did not conform to common sense of physics, and soon they came to this planet.
Quickly demonstrate its incredible power and great qualities.
The people of the starry sky warned the locals about the awakening of the eldest son, and informed them of a disaster beyond ordinary people's imagination that would almost overturn the entire universe. At first, the humans on the planet did not believe these warnings, but the people of the starry sky soon learned through a
A series of accurate prophecies and the tentacles of the Firstborn excavated from deep underground confirmed everything. They helped the indigenous people here prepare for the catastrophic disaster, including plans to fight against the Firstborn and a special shield to protect the planet after the sun exploded—
—These things are all made by the hands of these strange and radiant creatures.
"That is to say, they came to this planet from the depths of the universe. They gave you early warning and guided you to transform the planet into an ark. They helped you push your eldest son into the sun and detonate it, and they also helped you build a planetary shield for such a serious matter.
Things that are beyond your technology tree." Hao Ren frowned after hearing the records about the people of the starry sky from the Ark host machine, "...but it failed in the end. The people of the starry sky didn't know that the soul of the eldest son can be in the body.
After the body dies, it continues to survive, and even has the power to destroy the entire ecosystem. So what is the outcome of those people in the starry sky?"
"They returned to the light." The Ark host replied in a straight and emotionless voice, and displayed the record of the planet's last moments on a machine next to it. Hao Ren saw that the earth was shrouded in a thin layer of
Under the dark red light, the distant sun is expanding and gradually falling apart at a speed visible to the naked eye. People on the surface seem to be holding some kind of celebration ceremony. But when the sun expands to one-third of the sky, the celebrating crowd begins
They fell down one after another.
At this moment, several strange rays of light sprang up from the crowd. They were like tangled and twisted lightning and jelly, with dots of bright light inside as large as a house. These rays of light twitched violently against the sky, and finally turned into
Because the huge beam of light suddenly disappeared.
Those light clusters should be the people of the starry sky, and Hao Ren believed that the last light pillar was the scene when they died.
Allies among the stars - the ancients of Horleta firmly believe that these mysterious creatures from the depths of the universe can help them fight against the eldest son, and the latter does seem to have power beyond the mortal race. At least they have a way to successfully destroy the eldest son's body.
.But it turns out that this level of power is still not enough. The people of the starry sky finally died on this planet ark.
The scene was frozen at the moment when those light beams disappeared. Vivian looked at the screen thoughtfully: "These light-like races should be rushing to help everywhere in the universe. Their aerospace technology is very advanced, so they probably have the ability to catch up with the eldest son."
Kill to protect yourself. But if you want to help other races... it will be less successful."
Hao Ren sighed and asked a few more questions to the Ark host. What happened back then finally came to light.
The original plan of the people of the starry sky and the natives of this planet was to use the sun to destroy the eldest son and then leave here in the ark to find a place with suitable stars. However, on the day of the ark ceremony, the civilization on the planet was instantly extinct. This
For more than 10,000 years after that, this planet quietly slept in its home star system. It was like death. But there were still "alive" things on this planet - the machines left behind by humans were still in the dark.
Waiting silently, they have never forgotten the purpose for which they were created, and they have never given up on the ancient plan formulated ten thousand years ago.
During the 10,000 years that the planet has been sleeping, the Ark host has maintained minimal operation and scanned the life response of the entire planet over and over again - it continues to search for survivors on the planet under the guidance of established procedures, even if only one person survives
Down the line, the significance of the Ark’s existence will continue.
If it were a human being, he would have given up, but these machines, from the day they were created, did not know what giving up meant.
Vivian figured everything out: "Did the Nangong couple restart the Ark agreement?"
The Ark host confirmed her suspicion.
"So those TVs, newspapers, advertisements, names of people and places in the city...all human society are actually simulated by you?"
The Ark host's answer was only one sentence: "The creator's civilization cannot be cut off."
Hao Ren felt that there seemed to be some problems with this host's understanding of "civilization", but he didn't know whether he had the position to correct this "problem" several times. The machine in front of him was just using its own mechanized logic to complete its mission.
Maybe you really don’t understand what civilization is, and you don’t know what the creators want to preserve. It is an abstract thing that carries human will and is difficult for AI to understand. The Ark host does not understand these.
But it still stubbornly carries out the instructions given ten thousand years ago - in the machine's own way.
"So you don't let the people in the city leave," Hao Ren sighed, "but you also know that we are not your creators - it doesn't make much sense for you to take us away."
The Ark host was silent for a long time, and finally repeated in an emotionless voice: "The creator's civilization cannot be cut off."
"Then what is your next plan?" Vivian asked, "You asked us to come here, which proves that you are also hesitating. You understand that you cannot continue to maintain this deadlock. This is an illusion and is completely meaningless.
A play of meaning.”
Hao Ren also looked intently at the giant computer in the center of the hall. Although he could not see any emotional factors from the opponent's steel body, he vaguely felt that the AI was also confused like humans, and that there was something in its body.
Not part of the program, which is prompting it to seek change.
After another long silence, the Ark host asked a question: "Where are you from?"
"You have antennas on the surface, right? Point them into space, and there is a silver-white spacecraft there," Hao Ren said while connecting with the data terminal in his mind, "Terminal, for this planet
Broadcast and tell it about the Space-Time Administration."
The lights on the surface of the Ark host were flashing, and they were listening quietly to the broadcast from space. Hao Ren and Vivian were waiting patiently beside them. A few minutes later, a human-like sigh came from the host: "I understand."
Half an hour later, Hao Ren led everyone back to the Giant Turtle Platform in space.
He only brought back two things from the Planet Ark.
One of them is a square black metal box, about half a person tall. It is a library, which stores most of the information about Ark civilization. The Ark host tries its best to understand what "civilization" means, and finally
It created this database and hoped that someone would take it to a distant place. Just like most civilizations - when facing the end, Ark chose to leave its own information. This is the only way to commemorate its creator.
The other thing was a transparent jar over a foot high, which contained some gray-green substance. This was the second thing that the Ark host wanted Hao Ren to take away: they were moss scraped from the condensation pipe.
Samples of life on this planet.
The Ark host explained this: "Some scholars among the creators have deduced the failure of the entire plan, so they conceived some backup plans: if humans cannot be saved, some animals will be saved; if animals cannot be saved, some plants will be saved; if
If nothing can be saved, just save some cells. Please take these away, let them survive and spread, and my mission will be completed."
The Giant Turtle Yantai slowly left the orbit of the planet Ark in a blue light package, and the gray-white wandering planet gradually became farther and farther away from the field of vision.
In the shelter of Planet Ark, the lights are dimming one by one. The day is over. After dusk, another civilization falls into darkness. The unmanned cars slowly stop on the roadside, and the robots also stop working and start one after another.
The power was turned off one by one, and on the advertising screen of the building on the roadside, a middle-aged man with straight uniform and gray hair looked at the empty city and said his last good night to the world: "Citizens, the shelter will be closed soon. Thank you to everyone."
,goodbye."
When the last light in space was blocked by the warp space, everyone turned their attention away from the holographic image. "Gun" curiously looked at the black metal box that Hao Ren brought back, then he went up and arched his head: "
It’s so heavy.”
Hao Ren sighed: "Yeah, it's quite heavy." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
