I got up from the coffin and was taken back to the nest by the dragon

"What should I call you? Old friend," she stood up, looking condescendingly at the Fifth Master in front of her, "Emperor of Human Beings, or Father of the Dragon Clan?"

As if a boot had landed heavily, the air was covered with dust, foggy, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Guderian thought so, wiped his eyes hard, took two deep breaths, noticed the indifferent look of the people around him, turned his head and asked softly, "Xiaobai, you already knew?"

"One day earlier than you." Su Bai's voice was also tired and low, and he patted the back of Guderian's slightly trembling hand, then turned around hesitantly, looking at the reactions of the people behind him.

As the saying goes, the sound of the big sound is rare, but when experiencing the extreme shock, most people's feelings are often numb.

The three claws clenched their fists tightly, but their faces were all dazed and stiff, and the faces of the rebel duo behind him couldn't see any expressions - they were all frozen.

It's just that Ji Xiaqing didn't give them more time to react. Instead, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the third steel rib of the fifth holder, and lifted the sitting person up with force, and the cruel words continued, "The first Wu Zhi, do you think you are worthy to be a human leader?"

A cold mechanical arm slowly covered the back of her hand, and opened her fingertips little by little. The electronic voice was cold and heartless, "Ah Qing, it's just a rainy day."

"Since you already guessed it, why do you still ask me?" He seemed to be smiling, and Ji Xiaqing squeezed his skeleton even harder.

"I only know the answer, but I want to know why." Ji Xiaqing said softly.

"Then I'll tell you."

The Fifth Holder finally opened Ji Xiaqing's slightly loosened fingers, put them down lightly, and then clapped his hands. The sharp humming and piercing sounds of interlaced steel echoed layer upon layer in the space of the tomb.

"Taiyi, open the door."

The light blue figure floating in the air bowed slightly again, with unprecedented piety in his expression.

Immediately afterwards, there was a huge roar, the ground began to vibrate, and the sound of mechanical components and gears rotating and meshing was like the grinding of teeth of huge steel beasts hiding in the dark!

The dust that has been deposited for thousands of years in the Qing Emperor's resting place, and has escaped countless years of changes and changes of characters, fell one after another, and the entire main tomb slowly sank!

Gao Ke, who hadn't reacted yet but his body's instinctive reaction was faster than his brain, stood up suddenly, his roar still stuck in his throat, and he had already turned into a huge red dragon, flapping his wings and about to go up fly.

A small fist slammed on his knee, smashing the scaled fire dragon.Zhong Er gritted his teeth, and no longer restrained his voice, roaring, "See if other people react!"

The sinking was very slow, but still going on. The red dragon twisted its slender neck, and the scales that exploded on the neck slowly retracted. The dragon wings that had been fully stretched were also gradually retracted. There seemed to be something on the dragon's face. Kind of embarrassing.

"Don't be ashamed of it! Don't be ashamed of it! You don't have any concentration! Look at the other people who didn't call out!" Zhong Er was almost mad by his leader.

"Fuck!" Only then did Three Claws come to his senses, and the human race blurted out swear words.

Zhong Er: ...

Another person who responded faster than Gao Ke was Su Bai.

When the ground started to shake, Xiaolong stood up abruptly, hugged Ji Xiaqing from behind around his waist, pushed him down hard, and said urgently, "Sit down quickly, don't get hurt."

Ji Xiaqing really wanted to complain, "I can't hurt you, look at the fifth stick standing upright, like a statue with the backlight, and it looks very stylish. Sitting and confronting him, I look very imposing, and I'm a mechanical body now, how can I be so It's easy to hurt", but Su Baijin was really strong, so she sat down obediently.

Then, just right, there was a sudden violent shaking.

Ji Xiaqing's center of gravity was unsteady, so she sat back, and Su Bai, who was around her waist, also took a few steps back, unable to stand firmly, and the two of them sat in Su Bai's original chair together.Ji Xiaqing was forced to curl up in Xiaolong's arms, looking very imposing.

The two stared at each other, Su Bai coughed lightly, pushed Zui Ji Xia Qing's waist, moved his legs, changed to a more comfortable position, and simply hugged him in his arms.

The amplitude is getting bigger and bigger, the creaking sound of metal friction is getting louder, and who knows what will happen?

Su Bai leaned his head on Ji Xiaqing's shoulder and took a long breath.

Even if Ah Qing got hurt even a little bit, she felt that she couldn't bear it.

Guderian silently dragged the chair and moved aside.

How can it be shown when it is so serious?

Standing behind the fifth officer, Taiyi couldn't help looking more at the sulking Qing Emperor, and then slightly shifted his gaze, looking at the fifth officer's straight back, with a sense of sadness in his eyes .

The next moment, there was a loud noise, a violent collision that surpassed all previous vibrations, and the main tomb fell to the ground.

Su Bai tightened his grip on the person in his arms, and when she finally stabilized, she reluctantly let go of her arms, and coughed a few times as if there was no one else around under His Majesty Qingdi's hard stare.

Ji Xiaqing stood up helplessly and looked around.

They were in a huge and empty house. The main tomb seemed to have landed on a high platform, and not far away, there was another high platform that was much higher than where they were now.

On the high platform, there loomed an extremely huge skeleton, far surpassing the skeleton of an ordinary giant dragon.

Ji Xiaqing squinted his eyes, looking at the flickering dots of light floating in the darkness.

"Taiyi, turn on the light." Wu Zhi stood beside her at some point, and ordered with a cold electronic voice.

The next moment, countless spotlights lit up the dark space, the white walls, and countless connected and running instruments.

"Welcome to my laboratory, or," Fifth Execution took a step forward, he opened his arms violently as echoes echoed from the empty laboratory, "Welcome to the birthplace of the dragon clan!"

Su Bai stood up straight, and softly continued, the second half of the sentence that no one had said until now.

"The Dragon Clan is man-made."

She turned her head and looked at the people who had already guessed [-]% to [-]%, and said softly, "We are all human beings, transformed human beings."

There was a long silence in the air.

Ji Xiaqing kicked the things under his feet to divert everyone's attention from the suppressed shock and the huge dragon skeleton on the high platform in the distance.

"Hey, gold."

Except for the three claws, several humanoid dragons present lowered their heads, their pupils constricted slightly.

This is a huge golden round platform, engraved with complicated and ancient red gold patterns, it looks... very expensive.

And very kind.

Gao Ke groaned twice, restraining his urge to roll on it.

"This symbol means 'concentrate energy', that one means 'release', and the far end is 'reflection'," Ji Xiaqing walked on the golden round platform, identifying the familiar talisman plug-ins, "the one in the middle This... 'stable'."

"Our experimental bench," the fifth executive explained softly, "gold has very good anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion properties, and has excellent electrical conductivity and energy conduction efficiency. It is the best experimental basic equipment."

The cold electronic voice laughed twice, "After all, the ancient earth brought all the gold from the entire planet back then, so it's okay for us to be extravagant."

Ji Xiaqing was silent for a while, then looked at Su Bai, "Xiaobai, memorize the 'environmental selection theory' of those of you researchers who want to trace the origin of the dragon race."

Su Bai suppressed the shock in his heart, recalled the environmental selection theory that he had read several times, and recited it word by word: "Some scholars infer that the dragon clan likes to sleep on gold because of their ethnic origin. The dragon clan just appeared in the natural world. At the same time, it has a very strong destructive power to the ecology. Due to its huge mass and the habit of occasionally spraying dragon breath, ordinary rocks cannot exist for a moment under the dragon breath. Therefore, it can exist in the form of simple substance in nature, and has the effect on elements Gold with high inertia and storage capacity has become the first choice for dragons to build their nests. This choice derived from natural conditions has been engraved into the DNA of dragons and has been passed down to this day."

Ji Xiaqing turned his head to look at the fifth executive.

"During the process of manufacturing the dragon, the main construction component of the dragon-shaped manufacturing platform is gold with low inert activity and good physical and chemical properties and electrical conductivity." The Fifth Obsession added, "We created the dragon and spent nearly In 1000 years, what countless generations of people saw when they opened their eyes was, and could only be, this golden round table, so..." He shrugged, looking very funny, "Probably something has been engraved in the genes, huh? Qing, you know, it doesn't take so long to domesticate a dog with special habits, 'dragons should sleep on gold', maybe this is the habit of dragons formed by inadvertently planting willows in 1000 years."

subversion.

Guderian can only use this word to describe his inner feelings.

It turns out that the habits, habits, history, and past of a race can be smeared at will.

It's just that Ji Xiaqing focused on another aspect, she frowned, "How many human experiments have you done?"

The more she knew, the more jealous she became of her old friends.No wonder he can kill people like hemp in the underground world just to create a 'sapphire' army that is completely obeying and controlling. It turns out that he has completely given up his ethical conscience as early as I don't know how many years ago.

The Fifth Commander was silent for a long time.

"Ah Qing, listen to my explanation." He showed a rare hint of panic, "The people who go to the Golden Round Platform are all voluntary."

"Come with me," he grabbed Ji Xiaqing's wrist, motioning for her to follow, and of course the others followed quickly.A group of people turned seven or eight corners in the maze-like room, and finally saw a place that was incompatible with the style of this space - a long row of cylindrical objects that looked like enlarged capsules, placed at an angle of 75°.

Ji Xiaqing could tell at a glance: This is the dormant cabin.

The fifth hold Ji Xia Qing stopped at one of the many open cabin doors, pointed to the empty cabin, and showed the nameplate on it, "This is the place where you will sleep forever."

Ji Xiaqing looked at the three characters [Ji Xiaqing] written in correct Song style on the nameplate and the pinyin below, and pursed his lips.

Probably...referring to the eternal sleep from the ancient earth to the ether.

"I'm your neighbor, over there, not very far away." The fifth officer pointed to another open hatch that was separated by four cabins, "This one is the Chinese area, including East Asia and Southeast Asia." Firebearer'."

"I don't have any memory about this place." Ji Xiaqing hesitated for a while, looking at the open hatch, and then at this space that didn't feel familiar at all. "When I woke up, I was in a wasteland."

"Because you were launched," the Fifth Execution sighed, pulled Ji Xiaqing over, and pointed to the huge circular passage above the cabin, "I found out that the hatch was opened to check later, come and take a look."

He randomly opened another cabin door that was still tightly closed, and pointed to the person wrapped in a smaller "capsule" inside. The cabin door issued a beeping alarm sound because it was roughly opened, "This is us." The way it looked before being ejected."

"What are you doing!" Ji Xiaqing shouted violently.

There are people in there!They are real compatriots!

"Ah Qing! They're already dead!" The Fifth Execution also yelled back angrily, "Freezing is inherently risky, and it's far longer than the exile time predicted by paleoearth scientists back then. How much do you think you can survive!"

Ji Xiaqing's chest rose and fell sharply, staring at the sleeping person inside, or rather, the dead person who had been in a deep sleep, after a while, he finally forced himself to turn his eyes away, calm down, and stared at the pure obsidian eyes of the Fifth Wisdom, " So, you showed me this, what do you want to tell me? Explain what?"

Before the fifth attachment could speak, she interrupted very rudely, "You want to say, 'We are not the product of ethical correctness', so our actions can disregard ethics and morality?"

"No, Ah Qing," the fifth officer sighed, and patiently explained, "I discovered this place five or six years after your death, and I made a very difficult choice, Ah Qing."

"I awakened all the fire bearers who were still alive, and bet on all the inheritance of the ancient earth, and bet on the fire of civilization."

"You know, Ah Qing, we are all geniuses who are very talented in a certain field and have made certain achievements," the fifth executive said slowly. More than a dozen, fortunately, there are experts in life sciences and control machinery."

"No wonder..." Su Bai murmured softly, "You just said 'your laboratory'."

"Yes, our laboratory." The Fifth Executive nodded at Su Bai, "Ah Qing, in addition to sacrificing the Three Emperors as planned to solve the impending collapse of the protective shield, we also have more hidden worries about the future."

"There are a lot of pessimists among us, and they've come to a conclusion."

"The total collapse of the Aether shield is inevitable."

"We have made a rational and cold decision: not to inherit history, but to look forward to the future. The Ether is rootless water in the vast universe, and it is inevitable that there will be extremely strange erosion and the extinction of the artificial sun and artificial energy."

"So we must allow fragile humans to have the ability to resist radiation, genetic modification, re-editing, in addition to excellent external protection, the fusion of flesh and blood. Dragon building may be a good choice—— Or, to put it another way, a dragon-shaped outer mech."

"The top group of spaceship humans at that time, and one of the few humans who knew the inside story, chose to board the golden round platform to undergo transformation." The fifth officer paused, "They are all heroes."

"I think, although there are still ethical and moral issues, I hope my explanation can be accepted by you." The electronic voice of Fifth Execution gave a wry smile, looking at Ji Xiaqing who was thinking in front of him.

The woman in front of her quietly listened to the story of her absence, and said softly, "And then?"

"Then? Oh, you're talking about Xiao Zhang," Fifth Execution remembered the stubborn little girl who was talented but extremely stubborn. "The legendary battle that tore apart the space was a split within the fire passers-by." , Xiao Zhang is just the spokesperson of the conservatives. Some fire spreaders believe that all human beings should be transformed to resist extreme and long exile, while others, who are more talented in the humanities, firmly disagree. believes that it is extremely necessary to preserve pure, non-genetically modified humans."

"Because of gene editing, human beings—or the newly transformed human beings, the Dragon Clan—are no longer able to give birth naturally. And even the cultivation of test-tube babies through scientific means still has a lot of deformity rates." Ji Xiaqing solved the last doubt.

Guderian thought of his little daughter, the little girl who was born with a handicap, who was brought into the underground world like hell when she was so young.

"I always thought it was the original sin of the Dragon Clan," he said softly, interrupting Fifth Persistence's statement, his eyes turned red at some point, "So, this is just your wishful thinking!"

"...Sorry." The Fifth Holder turned his head slightly, looking at this great apprentice whom he admired very much, the metal mechanical fingers were slightly distorted with guilt.

"But human beings are still alive and well!" Guderian pointed to the three claws, and questioned the person in front of him, "If they hadn't been kicked out of the Tower of Babel, human beings wouldn't even mutate, and the protective shield didn't collapse, so they wouldn't need it at all." The existence of the Dragon Clan!"

Ji Xiaqing's lips moved slightly, but he recognized Guderian's words in a certain sense.

"Necessary," the Fifth Executioner said in a soft voice, which is rare for someone other than Ji Xiaqing to be so patient, "When we made predictions, we didn't use ten thousand years as the yardstick, but a broader measuring scale—— -civilization."

"There have been a lot of civilization changes on the Ether. Sociological fire spreaders have estimated that there will be four more civilizations at most, and the social resources of the Ether will be completely exhausted."

"At that time, there were no fire spreaders, and no one could help you reform. We were the ones who stood at the crossroads and threw the dice." The fifth officer looked at Guderian seriously, "Xiao An, I remember my teacher It's better to be alive than to be tragic."

Guderian froze.

Only then did he realize that the mechanical skeleton in front of him was also his teacher.

The familiar yet unfamiliar "Xiao An" made him tremble a little.

"Then you didn't explain why humans were driven out of the Tower of Babel!" Guderian was silent, but Three Claws took a step forward, looking at Fifth Persistence in front of him with pure hatred, "Humans and dragons are the same Can't we get along?"

Fifth Perseverance silently took half a step back, took a deep breath, "Three reasons."

"First, the Tower of Babel doesn't have so much capacity. It can accommodate both dragons and humans;"

Three Claws clenched his fist, as if he could swing it to Fifth Holder's face at any time.

"Secondly, the first generation of pure-bred human beings walked by themselves," the Fifth Holder immediately said, causing Three Claws to let go of his fist, with a bit of regret in his words, "They chose another path, which is completely different from transformation. The opposite way—"

"adapt."

"They said, 'Since humans were able to walk from the bottom of the sea to the land on the ancient earth, why can't they go from the spaceship to the starry sky?'"

The author has something to say: Well, there is probably one and a half big plot points, and two extra episodes that are not extras. Unfortunately, last month was really busy, otherwise it could have been completed according to the plan in early July...
