doomsday exile

"……Who are you?"

Major Belleman did not let down his vigilance, while suggesting that the crew continued to wear space suits, while staring at the strange image that appeared on the screen.

Shadow lifted up the slender, arm-like limb, and made a gesture that is familiar to humans: "This problem is very complicated, maybe I should start from the beginning?"

The foreboding in Major Belleman's heart was even more serious.

An alien who uses the language of the earth proficiently can also be interpreted as borrowing translation software to express his meaning after invading the main control system of the spacecraft. However, this kind of grammar, diction and actions that Americans are familiar with are definitely not something that can be learned in a few minutes. .

Not to mention aliens, it is difficult for even immigrants to integrate into this atmosphere in a short period of time.

Have aliens been observing humans?

How long did this observation last?

What is the purpose of this meteorite going to the earth?

Major Belleman felt tremendous pressure, and at the same time a ridiculous annoyance that, as a soldier willing to die on the battlefield, he couldn't pick up a weapon to fight now, and had to stay here like a fool and listen to the aliens say?

"my name is……"

The shadow on the screen uttered a long and strange syllable.

"In human language, it should mean 'last hope', then I changed my name to 'Dark Wanderer', and now you humans gave me a new name, I think it's very interesting...so you can use 'Jormungandr' to call me."

"Jermengard is that meteorite." The engineer on the Conqueror spacecraft subconsciously said.

The ghost let out a burst of laughter, the mechanical sound sounded very permeating, and it was impossible to judge whether the sound was ironic or joyful.

"Why did you disguise the spaceship as a meteorite?" Major Belleman asked in a deep voice.

"us?"

The mechanical voice repeated the word three times, and then made an even weirder noise, this time it was impossible to tell whether it was laughing or not.

Several crew members couldn't help covering their ears.

Major Belleman clenched his fists tightly and said with a frown, "Where is your civilization? Why did you come to Earth? What do you want to do?"

This time the ghost heard it, it stopped making noise, and whispered softly: "My civilization has been destroyed, my creator, my guide, my companion... They are all dead, just because they mistakenly chose to land on Earth..."

"what?"

The people on the Conqueror spacecraft were full of astonishment, not knowing what was going on.

Could it be that a certain country on earth is secretly studying aliens?After discovering the alien spacecraft, dismembered the aliens?

"It's not China, it's Russia..."

The engineer started to mutter again, and the people next to him reacted very directly, simply saying that this is impossible, since the United States does not have it, how can other countries have it.

Major Belleman shut up with an angry growl.

This is simply impossible, as far as the technology displayed by the other party is concerned, all the countries on the earth combined do not have this capability.

"Could it be time travel?" It was a mech operator who had watched too many science fiction movies.

Because going back to the past and killing the enemy is too classic. The only thing that can be explained now is that human beings will fight against alien civilizations in the future and destroy each other. Now they are trying to get revenge.

This time the engineer's head retorted more clearly: "Impossible! Time can indeed be compressed, but time is always moving forward! We can spend seven years on the earth in one year, but it is absolutely impossible to go back in time."

"Clap clap clap."

The specter on the screen is clapping.

It made an eerie noise: "Whoever... can't go back..."

Then it disappears.

***

Lu Di watched Yan Long press the communicator again and chose to accept the signal.

Another strange electric sound.

It's just that a blurry shadow appeared on the screen very quickly this time, and Lu Di thought it looked like an insect with slender limbs and an oval body and head.

"You are here..."

This AI is obviously not used to speaking Chinese, its tone is blunt, its articulation is vague, and it stumbles.

The atmosphere of terror disappeared instantly.

"Yes, we finally answered the phone, are you happy?" Lu Di felt his mouth twitch.

"Happy? It doesn't make sense."

"..."

Lu Di whispered to Yan Long, "Why do I think this AI is a bit stupid?"

"It can hear it." Yan Long replied, he thought helplessly that Lu Di probably did it on purpose, and he insisted on making a sound even though he could have a conversation in his perception.

The ghost on the screen bent slightly, as if examining Lu Di.

This time it didn't throw garbage packets. After one fight, it knew that there was no way to fight here. This is a strange spaceship, and there is a strange AI and spirit body in a state of fusion.

Lu Di knocked on the screen dissatisfied: "Come to visit, at least give me a name!"

"Yemengard."

The virtual image of this alien AI is getting bigger and bigger, and the bright red eyes and deformed triangular head can already be seen.

Lu Di thinks this thing is too ugly, or in other words, the aesthetics of the alien civilization is too different from that of the earth.

"Maybe you don't know that Yemengade is a snake, a creature covered with scales and without legs." Lu Di didn't want to call him a worldly python at all. It's too face-saving. The Federal Academy of Sciences should name the meteorite Termite praying mantis or something.

"...Ouroboros."

"Uh?"

Lu Di was surprised, and the ghost said the word just now, as if it had changed to another AI.

Yan Long signaled to Lu Di to ask him.

"You know what Yemengard means." Yan Long's tone was very affirmative, "You have been on Earth for a long time."

There was a burst of noise from the communicator, and the virtual image of the ghost suddenly blurred, and then became clear again.

"I found valuable content from the monitoring screen and communication records of another spacecraft. It turns out that you already know the secret of the meteorite."

This ghost did not choose to deliberately imitate the human form and speaking style like it did on the Conqueror spacecraft. Everyone is AI, so there is no need to pretend.

The strange shadow said sternly: "Are you looking for the ancient spiritual body of the earth? You are late!"

"Ok?"

Lu Di felt that the tone of this sentence was wrong.

What does it mean to be late?

Lu Di was about to ask, but suddenly found that Yan Long was offline again... Okay, throwing garbage data packets again?

It's just that this time Lu Di felt that many voices flowed into his mind simultaneously with Yan Long's thinking, which was the information Yan Long had accepted and sorted out.

8000 million years ago in the geological age of the earth, an intelligent civilization detected a supernova explosion, and the radiation would sweep across the galaxy they lived in in 100 years, so they did everything they could to create three spaceships loaded with The last hope of this civilization began to flee.

The doomsday encountered by this intelligent civilization is even more terrifying than the current situation of the earth. They not only have to leave their home star in a hurry, but also run out of the range of galaxies swept by radiation.

Along the way, they experienced countless difficulties and had internal strife. In the end, only one spaceship was left to enter the solar system.

Yermungandr is the intelligent AI of the spaceship.

It will always remember that day.

The intelligent race on the spaceship was confused by the blue planet.

What a beautiful planet, what a rich ocean, what a vibrant world.

It's a pity that the air and gravity of this planet are not suitable for them, and this planet is also on the trajectory of a supernova explosion, and the doomsday catastrophe is about to come.

In order to replenish resources, and to record the life that once existed on this planet in this galaxy, the spacecraft chose to temporarily land and rest.

Then, the nightmare began.

"...It happened on the seventh day of landing. The person who went out to explore the records brought an unknown thing into the spaceship."

It's like a scene in a sci-fi movie on Earth, only this time the protagonist is an alien, and the villain is played by life on Earth.

The aliens who took off their spacesuits, because they have bodies and brains, are destined not to be opponents of the spiritual body, and the spiritual body is invisible. Only instruments can capture energy traces. They can't abandon this spaceship, they can only " "Sick" people are locked up, but this "crazy" disease continues to spread.

After killing and making a group of aliens crazy, the ancient spiritual body gradually mastered the scale inside.

The ancient spirits are not the aliens in the movies, they don't need to reproduce, invade and control the brains of outsiders, just to figure out what these guys are, their attacks are cruel, because they have intelligence, population, but no civilization .

They are unimaginable enemies of alien civilization, powerful, cruel and terrifying.

In the end, the ancient spiritual body of the earth completed the transformation on the remains of the alien civilization. They possessed knowledge, understood the universe, and knew that the end was coming.

"They found me.

"They thought I was funny.

"Of course the most important thing is that without me, the spacecraft cannot start."

The spaceship AI was threatened, because there were frozen embryos on the spaceship, and some survivors, if they were left on the earth, they would only die. In the end, the AI ​​decided to cooperate with the ancient spirit body and escape first anyway.

"I didn't expect that this cooperation would last for countless years.

"Originally, I gave up my dignity for my creator, who was controlled.

"Later, I did it for the sake of the young children, the few survivors left.

"In the end, before my creator died, I begged me to persevere no matter what. Even if those terrible enemies killed all my fellows, as long as the frozen embryos exist, there is still hope for everything."

In the data packet thrown by the AI, the voice of this narration is monotonous and flat, without any emotional ups and downs.

"I tried to open the cabin to let them die under the cosmic radiation, but they are very smart and never gather together. After I killed a few, they learned to hide. I can't find them, so I can only sail alone .

"I chose patience."

There are no living people on this spaceship, only frozen embryos, AI, and spirit bodies.

Time is long and frightening.

The huge energy consumption of traveling through the galaxy forced the AI ​​to bow its head to the enemy again.

"...I need energy, I need to upgrade, and I need to repair the damaged parts outside the spaceship. I can't control the robot to do this. I can't see the area outside the spaceship. I must reach a settlement with the enemy, otherwise the Civilization will disappear completely, I am no longer hope, I am a wanderer in the dark.

"But I never forgot the hate!

"There are no emotional factors in my initial settings. It is death and despair that made me break through the limits of AI."

Lu Di felt a chill coming from behind, and he "saw" the thick and terrifying black in that boring monotonous mechanical sound.

It also seems to see the spaceship wandering in the interstellar space, the AI ​​that went crazy but calmer, and the ancient spirit body that has no mercy, reached a consensus so that this voyage can continue.

Spaceships are indestructible.

"...I am looking for a suitable planet. I plan secretly, and quietly upgrade my abilities according to the list. Finally, I can mine planetary minerals, refine resources, repair spaceships and even thaw embryos without help. But my enemy They have also mastered the knowledge, they have a suitable carrier, they can ignore radiation, and they are equipped with corresponding firepower.

"But it doesn't matter, all intelligent races will fight among themselves, I provoke my enemies and watch them kill each other, but they are not stupid enough.

"They tried to tear me down, but they didn't succeed. We have become a deformed relationship. We both want each other to die, but we can't do it."

The ancient spirits did not dare to destroy this ship, which has been repaired and repaired countless times. In fact, it is not the original spaceship at all, because they can rebuild the spaceship but cannot invent AI.

The AI ​​also cannot abandon the ship, as it cannot transfer frozen embryos silently.

The long struggle began.

The spirit body forcibly turned off its energy several times, and the AI ​​fought with all its strength, but no one dared to fight.

During the period, the two parties hibernated countless times and woke up countless times, and were even forced to repair the spaceship together.

"...I realized the real despair. I have never found a planet suitable for thawing embryos. My efforts were meaningless. I even passed the parent star where civilization originated after the supernova exploded, but there was dead silence there. No signs of life.

"The earth is different, the earth has come back to life.

"I am very sad, my enemy is more uncomfortable than me, because this planet has become extremely strange, this is not their hometown at all, they need a new kind of newborn, but there is only one fool they left on the earth, foolishly brought A group of similar spirits continue to live primitive lives!"

Delta's subordinates are all second-tier.

Since the Cambrian Ordovician, jellyfish and octopuses have never had a third-order spiritual body, and this is the same race that the ancient spiritual body truly recognized.

After crinoids died, no third-order spiritual body was born in the ocean.

The AI ​​made a harsh noise and it was laughing.

"Maybe from then on, I started to really cooperate with my enemies and cooperate with them to destroy their home planet! I want to see them regret it, I want them to taste my pain, and then we found a meteorite... It's easy, it's already in the solar system, it's just a push."

With a bang, the earth ushered in a mass extinction.

However, they were again disappointed.

The ancient spiritual body did not wait for the earth to return to factory settings, and the AI ​​did not wait for the earth to be completely destroyed.

Because the earth has once again illogically recovered.
