Chapter 248 The Disappearing Martian

Hearing Ye Luo say "Why do you have to pursue it?" Wei Feng sighed, left his seat, walked to the porthole again, and looked at the endless starry sky outside the porthole of the spacecraft for a long time without saying a word...し0. He said: "Indeed, it is meaningless to pursue this matter. Anyway, all the parties involved are dead, and even this civilization has probably been destroyed. But... the things that happened in this Mars civilization spacecraft are so similar to the Mars civilization and the current human civilization..."

Ye Luo was still silent, while Wei Feng said as if he was talking to himself: "The Martian spacecraft used for escape must be very large, and there must be many Martians on it. And... when we finally discovered it, it was only a little left, and there was only... a hibernation cabin inside. So, where did the remaining Martians go?"

This is the most critical part of the problem. In that information, the Martian did not describe any other disappearing Martians, as if they had never existed at all.

It is obvious that this Martian deliberately concealed these things, but these hidden things were still noticed by Wei Feng and Ye Luo.

So…where did those disappearing Martians go?

According to the description in this data, Wei Feng knew that the spacecraft had lost power due to failure and could only stay in the open area around the sun, orbiting the sun in an extremely long orbital period.

It has limited energy reserves, limited parts reserves, and limited survival materials reserves.

Every extra person is more consumed.

If you want to obtain enough materials and resources, you must return to the solar system or sail to the South Gate Two Galaxy. Even if it will eventually face the threat of civilization degradation, at least it can temporarily solve the current dilemma.

And... to reach the solar system or the South Gate two galaxy system, you must have sufficient resources and materials to repair the spacecraft's propulsion module. Otherwise, how can a spacecraft without power sail far away?

If the spacecraft cannot be repaired, the resources cannot be obtained. If the resources cannot be obtained, the spacecraft cannot be repaired. This is also a dead knot. A reduced version of the dead knot. When the dead knot covers the entire civilization, for the sake of resources, civilization division eventually leads to civil war. When the dead knot covers the spacecraft, in order to seize more resource share, in order to kill the rest of life as much as possible to save resources, a civil war must have occurred within the spacecraft.

War is the law of historical development, and it is not transferred by personal will.

So, in this spacecraft, a reduced version of the civil war broke out. The difference is that this civil war is even more cruel because it never stops unless... only the last person is left in the spacecraft.

Even if there are only two people left in the end, because when there are only two people left, just killing the opponent means that you can monopolize all resources, which means that your survival time can be doubled, and no one can resist such a temptation.

So...who is the last Martian left? Obviously, it is the Martian who has been dissected by Wei Feng on the operating table.

It was not killed by Wei Feng. Through anatomical analysis, Wei Feng determined that it had long died. As for the specific time of death, it could not be determined. The only thing that can be determined is that the time of death must be very long. As for whether this is tens of millions of years or hundreds of millions of years, Wei Feng has no way to determine it.

During the civil war that broke out on this spacecraft, the Martian laughed to the end. It killed all the enemies on this spacecraft. It monopolized all the resources in this spacecraft, it had full authority over this spacecraft, it completely controlled the spacecraft, but it still died. It had died tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years before Wei Feng discovered it. It defeated everyone, but in the end it was defeated by endless time and the empty universe.

During the long period of time it won for it to live more than others, the spacecraft's intelligent system dismantled most of the mass of the spacecraft and put them into the black hole to maintain the energy output of the black hole. At the same time, Wei Feng was convinced that all the corpses of the Martians killed by it must have been put into the black hole. After all, the corpses are also mass. Even if one Martian weighs only forty kilograms, the mass of ten thousand Martians is as high as four hundred tons, and... the mass of four hundred tons is absolutely impossible to be wasted.

The cabin that may be covered with shells and blood, the numerous hibernation cabins that once provided hibernation services for many Martians, and the living areas and entertainment areas that may have accommodated many Martians to eat and entertain together, all turned into the mass of black holes over time, and through Hawking radiation, it turned into the energy to maintain the survival of the last Martian. It lived longer than any Martian, but it eventually died and turned into a specimen on the Weifeng dissection table. The hibernation cabin and its auxiliary equipment that carried it billions of years were dismantled by Weifeng, and then stored separately by Leaf Lou to study their uses and working mechanisms.

The world has changed and time has changed. In the blink of an eye, such a long time has passed. But even now, Wei Feng still feels a sense of fear and trembling coming from the depths of his heart when he remembers the terrible time that happened in the spacecraft.

"What a time it was..." Wei Feng sighed, "After the goal of "only the last one can survive", anyone will be his own enemy. There is no ally there, anyone may become the murderer of himself, and he will kill everyone he sees. All moral systems will be broken, and all virtues that people have been preached for forcing cruel reality will be broken like window paper. Everyone will turn into wild beasts that fight for survival instinct. Under the long-term education, the beast nature that has long been hidden will explode in full. I think that at that time, they may no longer be called humans. They are all wild beasts, completely wild beasts."

Wei Feng continued to look out the window, looking at the great star that was no longer the brightest star in the sky, but it was still clearly visible, giving birth to himself, and also giving birth to the entire Mars civilization and human civilization. He continued to say quietly: "If... if I were in such an environment, I think I would choose to commit suicide immediately."

Ye Luo asked: "Isn't life the most important thing about survival?"

Wei Feng said: "But I think... the collapse of civilization and the collapse of worldview are more terrifying than death."

Ye Luo returned to silence, and Wei Feng continued: "This Martian is really terrible. If it wasn't dead when I discovered it... I don't think I would be its opponent. Although its limbs are weak, although it has been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years,... it is a wild beast, a wise beast. Its heart is strong enough to write this letter in a passionate and desolate and tragic tone after killing thousands of its compatriots. It is powerful enough to put the bodies of its compatriots into the black hole one by one and turn them into fuel before lying in its hibernation compatriots to wait for rescue... It is too powerful and I am not its opponent. If it comes to our spaceship alive, I will definitely die."

Ye Luo said: "I am also very glad it is dead."

Wei Feng was silent for a moment, and then said: "According to what it described in its letter, part of the Martian civilization's escape fleet returned to the solar system, while the other part still went to the South Gate Two Galaxy, which means that even at this moment, there might still be Martians in the South Gate Two Galaxy. They may have been breathing in the harsh environment and have been living until now. To be honest, I have some fear of them in my heart."

Ye Luo said: "I don't think you have to worry about this. If there were civilizations in the South Gate Two Galaxy that had developed to a certain level of science and technology, our human civilization would have discovered them long ago. Since we have not discovered it, it means that even if the Martian civilizations survived, they must have been at a very low level of civilization due to the deterioration of civilization and the loss of technology. What are you afraid of when facing such Martians?"

Wei Feng said: "So...how do you explain the flash information from the South Gate II Galaxy? It is impossible to send such flashes that can transmit information across the star system without the development of technology to a certain extent."

Ye Luo said: "This is indeed a contradiction, but there are still many possibilities to explain this problem. In short, there may be Martians in the South Gate two galaxies, or there may not be Martians. We cannot know the answer to this question until we finally arrive at our destination."

Wei Feng sighed again, and then said, "Although I have fear in my heart, this fear will not have any impact on my determination. I must go to the South Gate Two Galaxy. Unless I die, no one can stop me. I must figure out all this out. After all, the flashing information may have a great connection with the dead knot facing our human civilization."
