"General, is the situation really that serious?" asked the person in charge. "Well, the situation is getting worse now. Many governments have stepped down, and some are already preparing to hide in underground bunkers." "It's just the beginning. When our food reserves are exhausted, that will be the end!" The general sighed, as if he had already seen the horrific scene. "Can't agriculture be restored?" The general shook his head: "Since the Three-Body Crisis, the impact of heavy industry on the environment has become more and more serious, and many lands have been deserted." "Also, even if agriculture is restored, how many people are willing to plant it? Our country is not bad, and we still have a lot of grain reserves, but sooner or later we won't be able to sustain it." Hearing this, the person in charge fell silent. "The only thing we can do now is to ensure the vitality. The family members of those scientific researchers have made arrangements, right?"
"There are still some that are being picked up." said the person in charge. "After taking those family members over, close the laboratory." The general gave the order. "But, there are four military regions outside the laboratory, what should they do?" The general sighed: "There is no other way, you know the number of people that the laboratory can accommodate, and it is simply impossible for the army to give priority to those scientific researchers. "The army can be rebuilt when it's gone, but once they're gone, how can we pick up technology again in the future?" "Especially quantum computers. It took us decades to cultivate these batches of quantum computers. Once they are lost, what do we use to train them again?" "There are also people who are hibernating here, especially scholar Lin Nian. If he has any problems, how will he deal with future scientific research?" The general's words silenced him. "This is a crisis, the consequences caused by us humans, after all, we have to bear it ourselves, let's do it. After the general finished speaking, he hung up the communication. The person in charge stood there without any movement for a long time, and he sighed in silence for a long time. Then, he went to the communication room and opened the communication of the four military regions. "Chief!" Four soldiers with resolute faces appeared on the projection. The person in charge looked at them, his eyes full of sadness, he knew what kind of impact his next words would have on these soldiers! "The order of the organization has been issued." He said slowly in a hoarse voice.
"The higher authorities decided to seal off the laboratory in 08, and after bringing in the family members of the researchers, they will completely lock the laboratory and cut off all communication with the outside world!" After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, he did not dare to face the eyes of these soldiers. "Understood, chief! Everything is subject to the organization's arrangement!" A resolute and powerful voice sounded, and the person in charge raised his head in shock, and what he saw were firm eyes. "The laboratory will not let you in, the population that can be accommodated here..." Before he finished speaking, the soldiers interrupted him. "We get it!" "Yes, as soldiers, our bounden duty is to obey orders!" "We used to protect our homeland, now we protect human beings." "It's okay, Chief, we can understand." Hearing their words, the eyes of the person in charge were also red. He knew that once this order was issued, there would be nothing but death waiting for them. He also heard that many governments caused mutinies because of this, but their soldiers were willing to sacrifice themselves without any complaints. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. After a long time, he sighed, straightened up and gave them a military salute. Several soldiers also returned the salute, this will be their last farewell. Soon, as time passed, the family members of those scientific researchers were brought here one after another. During the period, many wealthy people heard that the situation was wrong and wanted a quota, and even some old comrades in arms also begged him. But this is all useless, the number of places has long been fixed, he cannot decide alone, all he can do is obey the arrangement. On this day, the person in charge looked solemnly at the button in front of him. Once the button is pressed, the laboratory will be completely locked, and they will disconnect all connections with the outside world. After a long silence, he finally made up his mind, and the next moment, he suddenly pressed the button. In an instant, the entire laboratory trembled, and the entrances of each channel were locked. At this time, the people in the laboratory noticed the movement. They raised their heads and looked up. From now on, they will spend an extremely long time underground. "This sound, the laboratory is locked." Zero said. "Yeah, this will be our last home." Lu Cheng said seriously. No matter what happens outside, they must continue to complete the mission assigned to them by Hines. Soon, their arrangement came. They will learn knowledge with some of the children. It is impossible for the laboratory to be maintained by these old people all the time. They had to grow new blood to maintain the lab.
Five years after the lab closed, disaster struck. First it started in Africa, the famine broke out, then the Americas, then Europe, and finally Asia, but that's all. On the Great Plains, the sand covered the sky and the sun, and tens of millions of people began to flee the famine. Once a person died, he would be eaten up immediately. In this case, no order, no morality, no longer exist. They only have food in their eyes, and they don't even know where to go. Like a group of walking dead, they followed the crowd, looking for places where there might be food. The only thing worth mentioning is that fortunately, the governments of all countries have hidden those heavy weapons, so no war has been triggered. But in fact, hungry people don't care about those steel, they only have food in their eyes... "Leng, is this the catastrophe you mentioned?" Looking at this scene in the sky, Roufeng can imagine that during this period of time, human beings will perish in large numbers, and the earth will usher in a short rest period. Although the current environment of the earth has suffered deterioration, it doesn't matter, without human beings, the earth will slowly adjust itself, but it may take a long time... Looking coldly at the crowd below, her gaze was like looking at a group of bugs. A trace of relief flashed in her eyes, as if to say that some of these dirty bugs were finally gone. "The Trisolarans are really right. Humans are really like bugs. Without food and water, they can't even survive." Ling looked at the tragedy below indifferently. She likes beautiful food, but it doesn't mean she can't accept this ugly scene. In fact, for her, she doesn't care about what humans show. She is an angel, just a passerby. "No way, low civilizations are like this, it's a pity that the king gave them a way, but they didn't cherish it. Roufeng shook her head, she was talking about genetic modification. In her opinion, human beings don't realize the importance of this technology at all, and they blindly develop technology, completely ignoring this point. In fact, as long as they pay a little attention, they can discover the prospects of this technology. On the way forward of civilization, every civilization must undergo self-transformation and improvement. The first and most important thing is to get rid of the body's need for food. Only in this way can they roam among the stars, like angels, they don't need to eat at all, and they can always maintain their lives by relying on energy. Higher civilizations basically have their own methods, but they are all similar. Perhaps it will be difficult for human beings to walk on this road, but the king has opened a door for them. … In the universe one light-year away from the earth. Lin Nian is drifting in the universe, and his current position is on the other side of the Trisolaran Fleet and the Earth. Collecting resources here, he doesn't have to worry about the risk of exposure, of course, this doesn't mean that there is no danger. He has always used a big clock to shield his life fluctuations, so that even if a detector finds him, he will only be regarded as a wandering meteorite.
In this case, he can safely mine the resources he needs. He has been wandering in the universe for so long, and his only feeling is emptiness, except for the direction where the Trisolaran Fleet is. He has been to the other four light years, and this is the last area, but even so, he has not been able to find a planet with intelligent life. He might be able to understand why Trisolaris attaches so much importance to the earth. In the vast universe, it is really difficult to find a habitable planet. What's more, there are hunters everywhere, so they dare not search wantonly. Of course, this is only Lin Nian's current opinion. After all, the emptiness he mentioned is only for the four light-years. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and suddenly discovered something. The next moment, his figure disappeared in place and appeared above a broken planet. Lin Nian looked at the shattered planet in front of him, it was full of dense potholes, and these potholes were bottomless. On top of it, there is a huge gap that almost divides it into two. Through the gap, he can even see the inside of the planet. The star core is gone! This could never have been formed naturally! Lin Nian can be sure that with such traces, he seems to see a bloody mouth gnawing at the planet. The densely packed potholes above seem to be the teeth of the giant beast, and the huge planet in front of it is like a huge egg. It bites through the shell, sucks the juice inside, and even the yolk inside. Needless to say, waiting for the fate of this planet, it has lost its star core, and it will eventually lose its gravity, making it unable to maintain the shape of the planet. In fact, this planet has already begun to show signs of disintegration. Perhaps it will not be long before this planet will completely collapse, and countless fragments will turn into meteorites in the universe and wander around. This is the first time Lin Nian has seen such a brutal scene, is this the work of some kind of giant beast or a certain civilization? He subconsciously ruled out civilization. In the Three-Body Universe, even if that civilization had such means, it would not do these actions with great fanfare. Although they didn't do anything to the stars, there is also the possibility of revealing their whereabouts. In simple terms, they will eat cleanly if they want to eat, and they won't be like this, with residues everywhere. The most important thing is that it is impossible for other civilizations to be born in this area of about four light years. "Dawn, scan the planet and detect signs of destruction." Anyway, let's investigate first, what if there are other civilizations? If it was not done by civilization, but by some kind of giant beast, then you can collect some materials, since there are no coordinates on the body of the giant beast. 【Scanning, detecting...】 [The inspection is completed, and traces of mechanical mining are found, and the probability of wisdom civilization remaining is 98%. 】 Hearing this, Lin Nian narrowed his eyes. Things are going in a bad direction, which means that there is really an unknown cultural
Ming is active in the narrow area of the earth and the Trisolaris. And still so loud! "Dawn, detect the possible direction of progress." [Trace detection. 】 [Traces show that the direction of the target may be the centaur constellation: 70%. Orion: Thirty percent. 】 The centaur constellation, isn't that the direction where the Trisolarans are located, and the earth also happens to be on this trajectory. Is it by chance? Lin Nian frowned, regardless of how this civilization is so bold and behaves so mischievously in the galaxy, this trajectory alone is a bit abnormal. If it is really going in the direction of the earth, it will be a little troublesome. However, it cannot be deduced based on this trajectory for the time being, it must be heading towards the earth, and it may turn in the middle. But anyway, he felt it was necessary to go and have a look. After all, judging from this rough method, it seems that their level of civilization is not high? At the very least, they absolutely do not know the law of the dark forest, otherwise it would be impossible to leave such obvious traces. Thinking of this, Lin Nian immediately flew along this trajectory. His speed is very fast, and he doesn't even need to open the wormhole, after all, the opening of the wormhole is also very energy-consuming. On this road, he has also seen many planets that have been eaten away one after another, and based on the positions of these planets, he can basically judge that the direction of this civilization is the earth! This is troublesome, he can be sure that the coordinates of the earth have only been exposed to the three bodies, and there is no possibility of a second civilization observing it. So how did they determine the course so accurately? What is the purpose of their earth? It is quite dangerous to let this civilization go to the earth. It is not that he is worried about the safety of human beings, but the earth. The earth is something that cannot be discarded. It's about the future of their angels. Why is he so attached to the earth? Obviously they don't need the environment of the earth anymore, they can even settle and develop on a planet at will, and these don't affect them. Yes, that's true, he can indeed take the angel to a certain unexposed location, no intelligent civilization, or even a planet without any living environment. But what's the point of that. If they lost the earth, they lost the only cornerstone and concern in the universe. Maybe other civilizations in Trisolaris don't care about this, but they can't because they are angels.
Why did Keisha declare war on Huaye's Tiangong in the first place? For revenge? For the throne? These are all secondary, mainly for that piece of land, the piece of land that belongs to their angels. In the end, Keisha won, they occupied Angel Nebula, while Hua Ye and the others were expelled. Later, although Hua Ye and the others survived in the distant unknown universe, neither technology nor strength improved much. You know, Hua Ye's dark plane has an inheritance of angelic civilization, and Kaisha can't take it away. With these inheritances, Hua Ye can definitely develop his own power. But he didn't, maybe there are resource constraints here, but what's more, he just wants to get back his throne and the territory that belongs to him! This kind of emotion caused him to jump out immediately after hearing that Keisha had died. Even at this time, he can completely rely on his own strength to occupy a place in the known universe. After all, once Kesha dies, her justice will be useless. However, he didn't, he still chose to fight against the angels, and he still wanted to take back the territory that belonged to him. It could be down to some kind of homesickness. No matter what his angels think, it is undeniable that they were born in the solar system, which is their home. The reason why they don't have this feeling is that they are there, they are in the solar system, how can people in the house feel the wind and cold outside? Lin Nian also felt this way after he left the earth and the solar system, but the connection with the angels like Leng and Roufeng has always concerned him. Perhaps, this is also a weakness, but Lin Nian doesn't want to give up the earth, no matter from the angle of an angel, or Zeng Jin's perspective of human beings. Earth means a lot to him. Therefore, the unknown civilization now must find a way to deal with it. Even if the threat is not great, you can consider eliminating it on the spot. After all, there are no coordinates on the wandering civilization. In the three-body universe, the most immovable thing is the star, and the star is a relative coordinate. Except for the star, it doesn't matter if you are careful. .
