The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 509 Rescue
Scorpio, a certain red supergiant star.

This crimson fireball floats in the black curtain-like void, continuously throwing stellar matter into the cosmic vacuum, and the fiery red ring is like a long whip whipping the non-existent enemies.

Noisy, furious.

The red supergiant roared and roared in solitude without stopping for a moment,

The star system it governs has four planets in the ancient times that cannot be traced back in history, but most of the planets have long been swallowed up by the ever-expanding volume of the red supergiant star, turned into a wisp of smoke, and disappeared .

In the entire star system, only the last planet is still holding on.

The last survivor is extremely lucky, it has been hanging on the outermost periphery of the star system for hundreds of millions of years, it is the seventh planet in the star system,

Because it didn't get enough light and heat before, its surface was covered with a thick layer of ice, and it was dead silent.
Until the red supergiant star began to expand, it continued to emit deadly heat along the way, burning the planet it guarded in the past to ashes.

The third planet once had a relatively advanced civilization capable of rudimentary space exploration.It's a pity that before they started large-scale space exploration, the red supergiant erupted an extremely intense stellar activity.

The civilization on the fourth planet came to an end in the century-long extremely high temperature.At the last moment of their lives, they concentrated the power of the entire civilization and launched countless colonization spacecraft to the seventh planet in the star system.

These colonial spaceships sailed towards the target, but because of hasty preparations, most of the spaceships crashed, and the surviving colony ships also suffered irreversible damage, and many electronic equipment became useless.

The survivors wake up from the frozen cabin. They are the most elite elites of the old era who are most qualified to rebuild civilization. Even in the face of desperation, they must rebuild civilization.

They built a stronghold centered on the spaceship, collected all useful materials, and struggled to survive on the pale ice sheet. At the same time, they continuously sent out exploration teams to try to find other colonial ships.

Technology has gone backwards irreversibly, the extremely cold conditions have made the fire of civilization erratic, and no one cares about the original story of the colonial team.

After [-] years, the red supergiant star gradually approached, and the ice sheet melted, forming an ocean and exposing the land.

The new civilization began to expand rapidly. They excavated the original colonial ships from various places, relied on the remaining technology and biological samples on them, climbed up and developed again, and seeded other creatures on this dead planet.

Ten thousand years later, the technological level of the new civilization has surpassed that of the old civilization. Their astronomers were shocked to find that the red supergiant star has not stopped expanding, and the new parent star will also be reduced to coke under the continuous burning of the stars.

The temperature of the planet is getting higher and higher, the ocean is evaporating, and the vegetation is drying up. Like the predecessors, the new civilization concentrates all its efforts on the development of interstellar colonization.

However, the stellar system region ruled by the red supergiant star is really too lonely,
The nearest habitable planet in another solar system is at least 4 light-years away.

Without the superluminal engine, it is impossible for the new civilization to escape.

The desperate new civilization began to dig caves underground, build bases, collect materials and life samples, and build underground space launch shafts.

What they are doing is exactly the same as the old civilization, and according to astronomers' ingenious calculations, the new civilization has only about 1000 years left-after that, the climate outside the planet is no longer suitable for launching spacecraft.

The underground environment is undoubtedly much more difficult, what's worse is that despair is spreading,

The destruction of old civilizations was compiled into religious stories, and extreme religious propaganda intensified, and even began to interfere with the base regime and aerospace industry.

"If destruction is God's will, then we should not resist."

Religious people took power, wreaked havoc on the aerospace industry, persecuted intellectuals,

A small number of rational scientists can only lurk everywhere, secretly spreading the fire of civilization.

As the time limit of the millennium draws closer, fierce conflicts occurred between the religious people who fell into self-destructive madness and the inheritors of civilization who tried to escape the desperate situation.

Finally, the light and heat of the red supergiant reached a critical point, heat began to pour in along the rock formations, and panic spread again.

According to the prophecy of the "prophets" thousands of years ago, the survivors of the underground world will gradually die within a hundred years, and the fire of civilization will be extinguished deep underground, and no one will know about it.

For other civilizations in the universe, those people and those things seem to have never existed.

Under the desperation, countless epic and legendary stories are staged one by one on the narrow and cramped stage of the underground world.

The continuation of civilization, the righteousness of race, the secularism of religion, the competition between sensibility and rationality, the thinking about the meaning of life, the noble and despicable, wisdom and ignorance, bravery and cowardice,

Everything is performed vividly.

Until now, this epic civilized elegy has been forcibly interrupted.

A group of strange people in strange clothes arrived at the underground base from the surface along the elevator shaft that had been sealed off by religious figures.

They quickly subdued the religious fanatics who planned to wipe them out, and found a rational scientist leader who could communicate.

"Hello, we are the Alpha Street Police Station in the Earth Federation Scorpio star area. I am the police officer of this star area. You can call me Logan."

Wolverine Logan, who was wearing the uniform of the Earth Federation Army, spoke to the survivors with the help of his personal brain in a local accent.

"what?"

The leader of the survivors, a benevolent old man in his 80s, looked confused.

"The film police, do the film police understand?"

Logan chewed on his cigar, tugged at his uniform, and explained impatiently: "Our main duty is to prevent, stop and investigate illegal and criminal activities, maintain social order, and stop behaviors that endanger social order.

If a low-level civilization in a certain star area falls into an irreversible desperation, we will also help as appropriate.

Of course, the rescue process needs to go through strict procedures. We need to examine the orderliness of your civilization, the morality of your race, and many other factors—of course, the most important thing is whether you conform to human aesthetics. "

"." The old man choked speechlessly. If we don't look like earthlings, we will be ignored by you, right?

Wolverine continued: "Your civilization, in the last era, once launched an artificial satellite to an alien planet, carrying a lot of information about your civilization.

The man-made satellite was flying towards the outside world at an extremely slow speed. After ten thousand years, it was finally captured by the automatic sentry tower of our Earth Federation. Knowing your existence, it hurried over.

As a result, ten thousand years later, your old civilization has been destroyed, and your new civilization is also in jeopardy, so I, a community police officer who has retired and is going to spend the rest of my life in this bird-bull-shit star area, personally came out to save you from the fire and water middle. "

"save?"

The old man grasped the end of this sentence at once, grabbed Wolverine's palm with great excitement, and shook it desperately, "Really? Can you really save this planet?"

"No, let me tell you, you little comrade, why are you so rough, and you are in such a hurry. Don't look at me as a police officer. Back then, I also talked and laughed with the President of the Federation, you know?"

Logan spit out a smoke ring impatiently. This Wolverine is several times older than the old man in terms of biological age.

"This planet has already entered the burning orbit of a red supergiant star. It has suffered from heat stroke and is no longer worth rescuing. The above means to turn it into braised bamboo rats. Cough, no, it is a scientific research base for some dangerous experiments.

Now, if you have no objections, you can sign the demolition compensation, and we will give you a brand new living planet and the materials needed to rebuild civilization. "

Wolverine took out a crumpled, alcohol-stained document from his arms, and slapped it on the old man's chest. The latter was at a loss, "...what the hell is going on here?"

"Don't you understand?" Logan rolled his eyes, "You guys welcome the demolition!"
