The Cubs Picked Up Are All Villains

If there is anything in common between the current world and the past world, it is probably "Blue Star".

It's just that in the world that passed through, the people of the Galactic Empire experienced the era of great annihilation, and their homes were reduced to wasteland. They finally chose to completely abandon their mother planet "Blue Star", and then survived the difficult era of great migration. Finally ushered in the era of the Great Eruption, found a new home, settled in Sikkim, and formally established the Galactic Empire.

However, the original parent star "Blue Star" was abandoned, and has long been silent in the dust of history.It is only occasionally mentioned in the remaining historical materials.

This planet far away from the star field of the Galactic Empire, except for a small number of ancient humans who still remember it, has long been forgotten by most people.

But it is different in his current world. Human beings live on the blue star from the beginning to the end.This planet has lasted too long, and its development process has been tortuous and ups and downs, and there are many hardships and tribulations in the middle, so that even history textbooks cannot fully include it.

Ruan Shiqing hadn't paid special attention to the history of Blue Star before, and only had some vague memories of the development of Blue Star in textbooks, but now when he searched, he found something that surprised him.

3000 years ago, Blue Star encountered a devastating blow—a nuclear war.

At that time, Blue Star was divided into different countries and races, and because of the relationship of interests, there were often frictions between them.This was originally very normal. Even the current Blue Star Alliance is not monolithic, and there are still many contradictions.But the bad thing is that several big countries have mastered extremely lethal nuclear weapons.

After an unprecedented economic crisis, a big country started a foreign war in order to divert domestic conflicts.Naturally, it is impossible for other countries to sit still and launch resistance.

The Eighth World War broke out completely, and the nuclear weapons that no country dared to use hastily were suppressed, and finally they were thrown into the war on a large scale.

At that time, the technology was quite mature, and nuclear weapons could achieve precise range strikes and minimize environmental pollution.

But even so, the impact of nuclear war is still irreversible.A large-scale nuclear war caused a large amount of dust on the ground to rise into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and causing a "nuclear winter" [Note 1]; not to mention the explosion of nuclear weapons, which also brought serious radiation.

Due to the lack of sunlight, the temperature dropped sharply, a large number of plants died due to lack of sunlight, and wild animals starved to death due to lack of food.The ecology has been severely damaged, the biological chain has completely collapsed, and only human beings are surviving with the help of technology [Note 2].

But this is not the worst case scenario.

During the melee between the two countries, the nuclear bomb launched by country A accidentally destroyed a hidden nuclear base in country B.

This secret nuclear base is quite large in scale, with more than a dozen large nuclear reactors built. It was originally a secret weapon of country B, but before it could be used, it was accidentally blown up by country A.

Country B is an island country surrounded by the sea. After the nuclear base was blown up, continuous explosions caused fires and released a large amount of high-energy radiation into the atmosphere [Note 3]; moreover, a large amount of radioactive materials flowed into the ocean through groundwater , with the rapid spread of ocean currents to other sea areas, resulting in extremely serious marine pollution.

In this world war, only tens of millions of people died directly from the war, but more than 30 billion people died directly or indirectly from nuclear radiation pollution and "nuclear winter".

In the five years after the war, the ecological environment deteriorated severely, animals and plants became extinct, and the extreme climate intensified. The population of Blue Star finally dropped to less than one billion.

And the blue star, which was originally full of vitality, became a piece of wasteland after this war.

The extremely cold climate made the ground no longer suitable for human habitation. They abandoned the buildings on the ground and chose to live underground which is more insulated.

Human beings who have encountered wars finally put aside their nationalities and races, and began to try to unite and rebuild their homes. This is the prototype of the Blue Star Alliance.

These surviving ancestors did not give up their homes. They learned from the pain, gave up all prejudices, concentrated all their strength, and began to rebuild this wasteland planet.

Until today, 3000 years later, there are no countries in the world, only the Blue Star Alliance and its jurisdiction.Although there are still contradictions and frictions in various jurisdictions, no one dares to provoke war rashly because of the lessons learned by the predecessors.

It is probably the shadow left by the nuclear war. After the reconstruction of the Blue Star Alliance, researchers gave up nuclear energy research and turned to research on antimatter energy, which is safer and more environmentally friendly.This is also the root cause of the decline of nuclear energy while antimatter energy is popular on Blue Star.

Ruan Shiqing carefully read the entire development process of Blue Star, and there was something in his mind that was ready to come out.

He remembered the abandoned planet he had seen in his underwater dream. It was also with withered plants and dead animals. The sky was leaden gray and there was no sunlight.There is also an abandoned nuclear power plant faintly visible in the distance.

How similar all this is to what Blue Star used to be.It's just that the human beings in the dream failed to stick to their homeland in the end. They left the devastated wasteland, took a spaceship away from their homeland, and looked for a new homeland; while the ancestors of Blue Star survived for thousands of years, they cleaned up their homeland. The sins that have been committed have built a new home on the old wasteland.

It's like growing two leaves on a branch.It comes from the same source, but diverges at different nodes, and grows into two completely different leaves.

Ruan Shiqing felt that he had vaguely grasped some clues.

But there is too little information at present, and he can't fully grasp this erratic feeling. He needs more information and clues to support his guess.

After thinking about it, he applied for half a year of sick leave in the institute's internal system, then took his optical brain and went to the library in the city center.

Maybe by figuring out the connection between the two worlds, he can find a way to go back.

The municipal library is managed by service robots and is open 24 hours.Ruan Shiqing booked a room in a hotel near the library. Apart from eating and sleeping, he spent the rest of his time in the library looking up information.

After three months like this, Ruan Shiqing lost five catties and found some useful information to support his guess, but he still had no idea how to go back.

Rubbing his temples wearily, Ruan Shiqing sighed and told himself not to act too hastily,

Putting away his optical brain, he planned to go out to get some air and let his thoughts go. During this period of time, he was eager to find a way to go back, and he kept pushing himself very tightly. As a result, his thinking was shackles, and there was no breakthrough.

Coming out of the quiet library, the noisy and bustling sounds outside rushed into his ears. Ruan Shiqing took a deep breath, and only then did he have a sense of reality.

In the past three months, he always felt that he had fallen from one dream to another.

The whole person has a feeling of unreality.

This feeling was even worse when he stepped into the busy street and saw the stall owners on the side of the road.

Looking at the familiar gray cloak and the familiar face, he stopped in amazement, his eyes fixed on the other person.

The stall owner in a cloak was doing business. After collecting money from customers, he met Ruan Shiqing's eyes with a smile. He didn't show any surprise, as if the two still met in the underground market on B3024 star, enthusiastic And greeted cheerfully: "I bought a lot of good things, Mr. Ruan, do you want to see it?"

Too shocked, but calmed down.

Ruan Shiqing walked to the booth, looked down at the things on the booth, they were all old-fashioned gadgets: "Who the hell are you? Why are you here?"

"I recently got a new antique key 'Guang Yin', whose name comes from 'The Husband of Heaven and Earth, the reverse journey of all things; He answered, but pointed to a black and gray key on the booth.

The key was different from ordinary keys, it was half the size of a palm, but it was not gorgeous.The whole body is black and gray, only the handle of the key is curved with complicated patterns, while the shaft below does not have any serrations or protrusions that a normal key would have, it looks like some kind of decoration.

In this booth full of strange antiques, this key seems too ordinary and ordinary.

But Ruan Shiqing didn't dare to underestimate it, not only because of its name "Guangyin" and its origin, but also because... the things that the stall owner sold him in the past were never popular.

This is true from the earliest 09, to the dragon eggs that hatched the little dragon cubs, and a bag of dragon crystals.

Ever since the little dragon cub had an accident after eating the dragon crystal, he had tried to find the stall owner, but the stall owner seemed to have evaporated without leaving any trace.

In addition, various troubles were encountered later, so the matter of finding someone was left alone.

But he didn't expect that the two would meet again in such a place and occasion. After thinking for a while, Ruan Shiqing didn't ask the bottom line, but skillfully asked the price: "I want it, how much?"

"They're all regular customers. I'll give you a discount. 5000% off for one piece, [-]% off for two pieces." He pointed to a crystal ball on the booth: "If you buy this crystal ball together, you can get a [-]% off. The total is only [-] yuan. Yuan."

An old decorative key and a crystal ball that can be seen everywhere, [-]% off and [-].

In the past, Ruan Shiqing would have turned his head and left, but now he paid the money without blinking: "I have it all."

The stall owner made a deal, and his smile became more enthusiastic: "You will never suffer from this deal!"

Ruan Shiqing played with the things in his hand, but couldn't help asking again: "How do you live—"

"Hey!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the stall owner raising his hand. He pointed at the things in Ruan Shiqing's hand and smiled meaningfully: "I've already given you the answer."

After finishing speaking, he put away the stall, waved his hands without looking back, and walked away unsteadily.

Ruan Shiqing wanted to chase after him, but after a few steps, he found that the stall owner disappeared into the crowd like a fish in water.He stood on the street with people coming and going, looked at the keys and the crystal ball in his hand, frowned and thought for a moment, then turned and went back to the hotel.

Back in the hotel room, Ruan Shiqing put the key and the crystal ball together, studied it for a while, but found nothing special.

But the origin of the stall owner was a mystery, he suddenly appeared in this world, and sold him these two things specifically, Ruan Shiqing felt that the other party would definitely not just want to lie to him for fun.

Although it is not clear whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, but if he can really help him go back, even if he is an enemy, he will go to the end of this road.

And he had a strange hunch that those two things would help him get back.

It's just that I can't find the key for a while.

Ruan Shiqing tried various methods until the early morning, but the key was still the same key, and the crystal ball was still the same crystal ball, without any change.

On the contrary, he had been tossing in vain, mentally exhausted, and emotionally agitated.

In the past three months, he has been telling himself to keep calm and not to be in a hurry, but when things came to an end, he had hope in front of him, but he couldn't find a way out, and finally he couldn't suppress his restless emotions.

Holding the key tightly in his hand, he was about to throw it out angrily.

It's just that when it came time to throw it, the fingers clenched it hesitantly.After a stalemate for a while, he sighed, his tense body relaxed, and he collapsed in the armchair holding the key.

That night, Ruan Shiqing held the key, lay down on the table, and fell asleep restlessly and exhausted.

So he didn't know that after he fell asleep, due to the ups and downs of his emotions, his spiritual power was absorbed by the key in his palm, and gradually a gray gleam enveloped him in it...
