orc planet

In the darkness, a faint light source caught his sight, and his body slid down rapidly as his eyes intersected, passing through thick dust and hard frozen soil, reaching a depth of tens of thousands of meters underground...

What caught the eye was the huge pentagram pattern on the ground, and five huge energy crystals stood on the five corners.

In the darkness, a faint light lit up, and a vague figure appeared in front of Kane, gradually becoming clearer.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, my name is Ye."

"Ye?" Kane looked at the mild-mannered silver-haired youth in front of him in surprise, mastering artificial intelligence?

"I am the last memory of mankind. Since you can activate the crystal, it means that the new human civilization has advanced to a certain level. You have the right to know what happened to this planet."

Hearing what Ye said, Kane suddenly thought of the genetic map code that needs to be touched when activating the crystal. Is this a kind of test?

"As you have seen before, there used to be extremely intelligent life on this planet and created a highly brilliant civilization. However, everything has changed since that day..." Ye was still narrating on the tablet, Kane Know that this is the picture and shadow preserved in the form of energy.He trembled slightly, clenched his hands tightly into fists, he knew that all the confusions would be solved in Ye's mouth...

"Can you tell me how the civilization that once existed on this planet was destroyed?" Kane restrained his excitement and said, his heart was pounding, as if he was about to jump out of his chest.

Ye's clear voice quickly said, "Of course, you have the right to know."

His expression looked a little excited and a little sad, as if he was caught in a memory.

"Earth is the only planet that breeds life in the solar system. Human beings are the masters of this planet. They have a highly developed civilization..."

"The new era of the earth is also the most prosperous period. The greedy alien zerg coveted the earth's rich resources and advanced technology, and launched a war of aggression against mankind..."

"By chance, people inadvertently discovered a never-before-seen substance in outer space, named "UR".To people's surprise, the energy released by UR has a special effect on the Zerg, it can slow down the activity of the Zerg's cerebral cortex.The Zerg will unconsciously gather around the UR and slowly stop their activities, without any resistance.People were overjoyed by this discovery, but they didn't realize that it was also the culprit that caused the extinction of mankind..."

"We were too confident, and wanted to use the earth as a bait to lure out the Zerg's parent star through UR to completely wipe it out. Unexpectedly, UR encountered a sunspot eruption, which triggered a drastic change in the elements inside the earth, which greatly increased the gravitational force...the result was As you can see, it eventually led to the destruction of humanity..."

"Then, then there must be humans who survived, right!" Kane shouted eagerly.

"That's right, the satellite immigrants on the edge of the solar system were not affected by this catastrophe. But they left the solar system hundreds of millions of years ago to find a planet suitable for human habitation, and they abandoned the earth."

Kane's eyes were red, and he bowed his head for a long time without speaking.The universe is vast but also lonely. People have searched for a long time in the vast interstellar space before discovering a few civilizations, including the Dallas Zerg planet.There are very few planets suitable for the reproduction of life.It must be in utter despair that people abandon their homes...

"After that, what happened to the earth after that!"

Kane's heart seemed to be cut open abruptly, and the bloody pain pierced through his heart and lungs.

Ye's eyes became very sad, and the air was filled with deep sorrow.

"The earth became a dead star after suffering that disaster. The sky was covered with thick dust, there was no sunlight, no air, and all life forms perished."

"Fortunately, this secret has been preserved and has become the last hope." Speaking of this, Ye's eyes suddenly brightened, as if gathering countless radiance.

"The base, called the 'Polar Ice Bank', is built in permafrost deep beneath the Scandinavian mountains.It was originally one of the cold storages built by people to prevent sudden disasters.Miraculously, it was not affected by violent crustal movements.Fortunately, there happened to be a scientist who was sorting out the base's species gene pool at the time, so he survived.He mobilized the base's database and revived me—the master artificial intelligence.Since I have no entity, the scientists created another me and put it in the base's only cleaning robot, Matas.He calculated that the earth has returned to its nascent state and will enter a long period of evolution, and set a sleeping period of hundreds of millions of years for the base.For this reason, he used all the equipment in the base to collect all the energy that could be collected, and poured it into five energy crystals to maintain the existence of the base.After making all the preparations, he also came to the end of his life.In the long years that followed, Tamas and I fell asleep together with this base, and the crystals provided us with energy. "

"After the dust cleared, the earth began a long evolution as predicted: the primitive ocean was born, the earliest organic life appeared, and wonderful life reproduction dramas were performed on the planet..."

"Soon, we also woke up with the vigorous development of life. Tamas and I used the human genes preserved in the gene bank to create the human ancestors of the new earth. However, compared with the powerful creatures on the earth at that time, human beings It's too weak. We don't care about whether it will destroy the ecological balance of the earth, but we put some creatures in the gene pool on the ground to maintain the survival of human beings. It is strange that human beings become weaker and weaker from generation to generation, and their reproductive capacity is also decreasing. It keeps falling, and the culprit is UR!

UR, which was originally deep underground, surfaced with the movement of the earth's crust, and the energy released drove people to a desperate situation again.Just when we had nothing to do, Tamas discovered that the newborn earth organisms had developed antibodies to rays during the evolution process.In order to save mankind, we have mixed beast genes into some human bodies. "

"We succeeded. The human beings mixed with the beast gene have absolute resistance to rays and become stronger and stronger. But at the same time they lost the ability to conceive. In order to protect the remaining human beings, we transformed the energy crystal into a powerful energy The barrier blocks rays. Slowly, human beings developed steadily on this planet. In order to match the evolution of this newborn earth, we did not teach people advanced civilizations, but stored all knowledge in crystals, waiting for People discover by their own ability.

Tamas plays the role of protecting newborn humans and is known as the "God of Creation".Things are also developing in the direction we imagined, and everything is going well.But we overlooked one point──UR! "

Hearing this, Kane also guessed seven or eight points, his heart was tense, and he asked hoarsely, "Yes, Zerg?"

"That's right!" Ye's eyes flashed with anger, "UR has once again attracted the Zerg! A Dallas meteorite that was originally floating in space fell to the earth under the force of UR. We thought it was just an ordinary However, I didn’t expect that there were Zergs sleeping forever on it! The Zergs have strong survivability, they can stop all bodily functions and enter a state of suspended animation when they encounter harsh environments, and they can be “resurrected” again once the environment is suitable.What's worse, among the aliens brought by the meteorite was a high-level intelligent insect!At the same time, we should also be thankful that the environment of the newborn earth has changed a lot, and the relatively weak and advanced intelligent insects obviously cannot adapt.But this evil zerg compiled a set of instructions to make a chip and implant it into the mercenary's brain.In this way, even after it dies, it can control other mercenaries to attack and destroy humans...Tamas was worried that more Dallas meteorites would be brought to the earth, so he made a decision..."

Having said this, Ye lowered his eyes, and his voice was extremely sad, and Kane's heart was gripped when he heard it, "Tamas, what's wrong with it?"

After a long silence, Ye slowly said, "Tamas decided to use himself to detonate UR, die with it, and destroy the Zerg that gathers in UR together."

"Ah!" Kane thought of the radioactive material detected by No. [-], and had a bad premonition. "Tamas...failed?"

"No, Tamas succeeded, but it did not completely destroy UR and the Zerg. A very small part of UR remained, but it was not enough to attract meteorites, but the impact on the human body still existed. The impact of the weakened UR on the Zerg also weakened , Zerg will not stop activities even in the vicinity of UR. The sacrifice of Tamas has brought about a relative balance between humans and Zerg: the drastically reduced number of Zerg no longer poses a threat to humans, so the two sides have coexisted for a long time, but the Zerg His ambition has not been extinguished."

Ye's eyes gradually darkened, "Originally, the crystal consumed a lot of energy to maintain our deep sleep, and now to support the barrier, there is not much energy left. Fortunately, the rays of UR are not as powerful as before. I put my memory It is stored in five crystals, and after closing the barrier, most of the energy is transferred to the crystals in the human gathering place. The other four crystals are buried in the ground and stored, waiting for people to trigger them one day.”

"And then... are you like this again?"

"After doing all this, I destroyed myself, because the crystal can no longer sustain me." There was no regret on Ye's face, but a hint of relief. "I have been waiting in a long sleep, until today I waited for you. You can call all the information stored in the crystal at any time."

Kane took a deep breath, trying to digest everything he heard from Ye.In addition to shock, more fortunate.Perhaps it was somehow destined that human beings should not die, which made me come here.Otherwise, according to the current situation, the orcs may still have a very difficult way to go.This is something that Ye did not expect, but Kane does not intend to tell Ye this.

"If there is no doubt, I will send your consciousness back. Get ready—"

"Wait!" Kane interrupted Ye, asking out the doubts that had always been in his heart

"After I touched the crystal, I have been very uneasy. I have a weird feeling. It makes me very confused. Why is this?"

Ye looked deeply at Kane, and slowly said the answer.

"It's the test—the test of the crystal."

"Not everyone can get here. Only with a firm heart can you pass the test, know the truth, and shoulder the mission of prospering mankind."

For a long time, Kane didn't speak.He clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

"I'm ready!"
