From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

On the second planetary route of the capital star circle of the Sykes civilization.

Lu Heng stood in front of the glass window of the interstellar flight, looking at the starry sky outside the window, thinking of many things in his heart.

Humans do not have an official identity in the Sykes civilization, so they cannot board the spacecraft.

However, this is not a big problem for Xavier Matrix.

He found a viscount of the Sykes civilization and took Lu Heng and the other five people on the interstellar flight as an attendant.

This interstellar flight set sail from the second Gaia star and flew to the capital of the Sykes civilization-Queen Star.

Among the four people in the team, except Lu Heng, the other three were riding an interstellar spaceship for the first time, so they were a little excited.

Yuan Yaoyao looked very calm, not as excited as expected, probably not the first time to ride an interstellar spaceship.

This was not the first time Lu Heng rode an interstellar spaceship. He rode it before his rebirth, and he had been to the capital of the Sykes civilization, Queen Star.

Queen Star is the most prosperous planet of the Sykes civilization and also their capital star.

If the Second Gaia is the most habitable planet and tourist destination of the Sykes civilization, then the Queen is the political and cultural center of the Sykes civilization.

The Queen has the oldest nobles and the largest consortium of the Sykes civilization, and it is also the place where the major factions compete.

Relatively speaking, the Sykes people living on the Second Gaia are more yearning for a comfortable life, and there are relatively few crazy elements.

Therefore, the Second Gaia is the base camp of the escape faction.

The escape faction led by Ye Lianna Sykes has the highest support rate on the Second Gaia, so she mainly gives speeches on the Second Gaia to raise the support rate of the escape faction.

The escape faction is a colloquial name. In fact, this faction is called the Civilization Spark Continuation Plan.

The escape faction does have the highest support rate on the Second Gaia, but this is relative.

The total support rate of the escape faction is only a few percentage points, which is not much higher.

Before boarding the interstellar spaceship, Lu Heng had already understood the current time of the Sykes civilization.

Due to the different speed of time, five years have passed since the last time they were recruited to the Sykes civilization.

In the past five years, the support rate of the Escape Faction has remained around 7%.

The last recruitment exposed the incident of the Advent Faction's Delims No. 3 base cultivating abyssal tumors, which caused the support rate of the Advent Faction to drop, once falling below 4%.

At that time, the support rate of the Escape Faction rose a little, but then fell back to 7%.

The support rate of the Advent Faction fell below 4%, but the combat effectiveness of this faction was stronger.

Because after the Abyss Tumor incident was exposed, it was impossible for anyone who was not really crazy to continue to support the Advent Faction.

In other words, these 4% of the Advent Faction supporters have been purified. Except for a few politicians who cannot leave the faction because of interests, the rest are all crazy, psychopathic, and antisocial.

After purification, the number of supporters has decreased, but the purity has increased.

This makes the decrees submitted by the Advent Faction, no matter how anti-intellectual, get the full support of this group of crazy people.

...

In these five years, several major events have occurred in the Sykes civilization.

The first thing is that the planet farthest from the Sykes star has completely fallen into the abyss world.

This planet is called Ice Star, which is 5.2 billion kilometers away from the Sykes star, which is roughly equivalent to Neptune in the solar system.

The surface temperature of this Ice Star can reach minus 200 degrees, so it is named Ice Star.

For this reason, Ice Star is not a habitable planet.

Of course, this is only unsuitable for organic life. For mechanical civilization, it is just that the environment is not very good, not completely uninhabitable.

Therefore, there are a small number of residents on this Ice Star. These Sykes residents are employees and family members of the mining group, responsible for mining the resources of the Ice Star.

Because it is too far away from the capital star circle, the defense force of the Ice Star is small.

After the abyss invasion, the Ice Star is basically in a state of no resistance, and the mining company will withdraw directly when it is invaded.

For the Sykes civilization, it is too costly to resist the abyss on the Ice Star, and the gains are not enough to offset the expenses, so it can only choose to give up.

The second big thing.

Since the Ice Planet was completely reduced to the Abyss World, the Adventists claimed that as long as they welcomed the rule of the Abyss, they could settle on the Ice Planet and become the pioneers of the era change.

Then, videos and news of the Adventists surrendering to the Abyss and settling on the Ice Planet were sent back and spread in the capital star circle, causing a great sensation.

Then, the official Sykes civilization banned all news about the Ice Planet and prohibited network dissemination.

As long as the central computer of the Sykes civilization found that relevant information was being spread, it would immediately block network communications and send mechanical guards to arrest the spreader.

The third major event.

Two years ago, abyss tumors appeared on many planets in the capital star circle of the Sykes civilization.

Although they were all wiped out in the end, this made the people of the Sykes civilization panic.

Before boarding the spacecraft, Xavier Matrix also mentioned this matter. He guessed that someone was studying the abyss tumor and deliberately spreading it, and the most suspicious one was naturally the Adventists.

But so far, no evidence has been found.

The abyss tumor is a very scary thing. If it is allowed to grow infinitely, it can even cover the entire planet.

…

Three major events, each of which is enough to affect the direction and fate of civilization.

Lu Heng knew from the beginning that the planets of the Sykes civilization would gradually fall.

There are relevant memories before rebirth, but knowing these historical trends cannot change anything.

Not to mention a human being, not even the reminder issued by Lacrini Sykes could make the Sykes civilization make any changes.

Lacrini Sykes is truly one of the three greatest scientists in the world in the Sykes civilization. If even he can't do something, what's the use of reminders from humans?

Many times, the fate of a civilization is related to the innate characteristics of the civilization's subjects.

The foundation of civilization will allow great individuals to be born in the civilization. Only these great individuals have the ability to reverse the destiny of civilization. But one is not enough, and a steady stream of retrogressors are needed to appear.

Lu Heng, a man in his two lifetimes, has a profound understanding of the truth that the wisdom of a group is fixed and cannot be changed in a short period of time.

The progress of civilization requires giants to carry forward their burdens.

These great people are like stars in the night sky. When only one shines in the night sky of a civilization, then the civilization is not far away from entering eternal night.

If the night sky of this civilization is full of stars, then the civilization still has a future.

Lacrini Sykes is such a star, but it is a pity that this star has fallen.

How many shining stars are left in the Sykes civilization?

Lu Heng didn't know, but in the past five years, the Sykes civilization had not changed much, and the abyssal invasion was intensifying.

Perhaps there are not many stars in the night sky of Sykes civilization anymore...

…

After a day and night of sailing, the interstellar flight finally arrived at the Queen Star, the capital star of the Sykes civilization.

This bustling planet has a more technological atmosphere than the second Gaia planet. It is full of steel buildings and anti-gravity cars shuttle in the sky. It is a scenery that no one has ever seen before.

Lu Heng and his party relied on Yuan Yaoyao's Black Feather Spirit to verify the information, came out of the terminal, and then called a driverless car to go to Michelle Street to meet Yeliana Sykes.

Although the Second Gaia Star is the base camp of the escape faction, the Queen Star is the political and cultural center of the Sykes civilization.

As the leader of the escape faction, Yeliana Sykes has a lot of work to do on Queen Star.

She is now in a private villa on Michel Street.

When everyone came to the door, the door of the villa opened automatically, and the robot butler came forward to greet them and led them into the living room.

"Welcome, Professor Xavier has sent me a message in advance, mentioning that you will come." Yeliana Sykes came out of the study and walked to the living room to invite everyone to sit down.

The machine steward brought a few cups of pure water. The electronic cup showed the composition of the water. It was almost pure water, with only a few negligible trace elements.

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that Ms. Sykes and the professor have reconciled."

The last time he was recruited, Lu Heng had facilitated a meeting between Xavier Matrix and Yeliana Sykes.

For the Sykes civilization, the meaning of "meeting" can be very broad. As long as information is communicated, it can be described in this way.

Originally, Yeliana Sykes had hatred for Xavier Matrix, but now that they maintain communication, it means that the relationship between the two should have eased.

Yeliana Sykes said in a serious tone: "You'd better not mention Xavier Matrix less. This will be good for both you and him."

Of course Lu Heng understands this, because Xavier Matrix is ​​still a beggar wanted by the military of the Sykes civilization.

A scientist who can move freely on a prosperous planet while being wanted by the Sykes Military is indeed very troublesome for the Sykes Military.

Therefore, any person or mechanical unit associated with Xavier Matrix may be arrested.

This naturally includes Yeliana Sykes.

If her connection to Xavier Matrix comes to light, it could even affect her status among the escapees.

The thinking of the Sykes civilization is mechanized, so there will be no emotions that only exist in organic life, such as reunion after a long absence.

So Lu Heng went straight to the point and said: "We are here this time to understand the situation of the humans who were recruited to the Queen Star this time. I think you will definitely be willing to help."

Yeliana Sykes doesn’t think so: “I don’t benefit from helping you.”

Lu Heng shook his finger and reminded: "You should know very well that the fact that humans were recruited here means that there is an abyss pollution incident on Queen's Planet.

"You are responsible for providing information, and I am responsible for understanding the origin of the incident and then handling it accordingly.

"If something like what happened in Delims Base 3 happens again, you can be prepared. What if your faction is also involved?"

Yeliana Sykes was quickly convinced and agreed: "Okay, what do you want me to do?"

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Invite a few human superpowers over and ask them what their main mission is."
