Chapter 86: Ancient Ghosts
Even if Zi Yang's physical knowledge is only at high school, he understands what arc light means. When the core collapses, it is the day when the earth's demises.
Zi Yang was a little desperate: "Since you knew this, why didn't you turn off the operation of the energy core in advance?"
The arc shook his tail and said, "The energy core cannot be closed, it can only be bound by an energy force field. At that time, we calculated that its decay cycle was more than 800,000 years. We thought hundreds of thousands of years were enough to study a way to control it. Unexpectedly, soon after, the planet would face a complete destruction...
This shuttle is the only spacecraft equipped with a star-level energy core and the only survivor in annihilation."
Zi Yang suddenly felt an endless sadness: "What do you mean is that our planet will be destroyed along with this spacecraft?"
Arc Light said: "Theoretically, the core will be thousands of years away from a complete collapse, but before that, the force field will become increasingly unstable and the leakage will continue to aggravate."
Zi Yang felt relieved. For thousands of years, at the current speed of human science and technology development, the earth may still have "hope".
The arc light shook its tail: Don’t place the future of the entire earth civilization on "hope".
The culture of our planet is to respect all life. When I realize that the destruction of the energy core is inevitable, I will devote all my energy to how to control the collapse of the core. I will use all the energy left by the spacecraft to control the fusion of the core and minimize the damage.
Even so, the matter within dozens of kilometers around the spacecraft will undergo a huge change, and everything I created and the matter around me will be destroyed together.
After completely collapse, I will not leave any trace on this planet, and the civilization of our planet will be completely terminated.
Zi Yang understood that this alien life that has existed for more than 800,000 years is intended to preserve the security of the earth to the greatest extent possible by dying together.
He couldn't help but wonder, is there no other choice except this method? After thousands of years of development, human civilization has developed rapidly and even has the ability to explore outer space. At this time, if you teach technology...
The arc did not answer him, and the giant screen appeared and began to show light and shadow again. Thousands of soldiers on the screen, neatly dressed, excitedly shouted slogans. The flags were secretly in the air.
"After hundreds of thousands of years of development, human nature has not changed. Since the beginning of human civilization, when your ancestors first discovered the power of bones and stones to kill people, blood splattered on the names of everything.
After thousands of years of armed conflict, human destruction of nature can no longer last. Today, the earth is still shrouded in the shadow of nuclear weapons in war. Technology simply kicks off another bloody chapter in human history. Human destruction of natural ecology has gradually caused the world to fall into the abyss. Even if humans win in the war to destroy nature - but war, war will never change."
"For humans, perhaps war is eternal."
Zi Yang was speechless, Arc Guang was right. Until today, history has developed for thousands of years and has even begun a journey of exploring outer space. Humans on Earth are still killing each other. For power, for interests, and for different beliefs, people continue to die in war every day. The Cold War between great powers, the conflict between tribes, and history is written around war.
Arc continued: "My quantum state can travel around the world, and to some extent, I have the ability to change the real world, but every time I intervene in human civilization, it will almost lead to a disaster."
"After repeated failures, I almost lost confidence in humans. Until decades ago, I finally discovered a human medium that is most suitable for imparting knowledge and abilities. Since he was a child, I have noticed that he has the intelligence and talents necessary to impart knowledge, and has a strong personality, independent thinking, full of compassion for life, and full of desire for knowledge."
In the end, I decided to teach him some knowledge in an attempt, and everything developed as I expected. He used his knowledge and ability to benefit human society. This time, it seems that humans did not disappoint me.
"It seems?" Zi Yang was a little confused about the word used by arc light.
The arc continued to explain on his own, "I didn't make him realize that it was external forces that helped him. I made him believe that everything was understood by himself. I taught some technology beyond the times in his mind through brain wave imaging. He made many great inventions--even he could not explain the principles himself."
Because the technologies he mastered that transcends the times were also called geniuses.
The child's level of knowledge and creativity are amazing, and I began to transmit some more advanced technologies to him, including radio wave transmission technology, and even some models of spacecraft.
Hearing the arc description, a name suddenly flashed through Zi Yang's mind: Tesla!!!
The arc shook his tail again with admiration.
"Yes, Tesla, this young man does not have the ambition and power like others. His ambition is to popularize technology to all mankind, and his goal is to promote the civilization and technological development of the entire human race."
"However, the situation changed later. Although Tesla invented many advanced technology and provided it to all mankind for free, it was hindered by the entire human society. They began to obstruct Tesla's experimental research, began to slander, demonize his technology, and began to steal his invention patents. In order to prevent Tesla's invention from affecting its own interests, they began to block his technology and burn his information."
This time, Zi Yang knew the answer without asking, why did the arc light interfere with this matter.
Because this is the collective nature of human beings, he can change a person but cannot change the entire human being. Even if Tesla masters advanced technology and possesses powerful abilities, it is small and insignificant among the entire human beings.
Arc light sighed: For the development of science and technology and social progress, human beings care more about personal power and interests.
Zi Yang suddenly thought of someone: What about Alexander? You can impart knowledge to them. They are full of desire for science and knowledge. They can even devote their lives to pursuing knowledge... Doesn't this meet your requirements?
"Alexander and their organization are exactly what I fear the most."
Zi Yang didn't expect that this soul who masters super civilized technology would actually say the word "fear".
"Although they desire technology and knowledge, they are based on power and selfish desires. For their own purposes, they can despise life. As the desire for power expands, they will even be unable to control themselves in the end. Once they have stronger abilities, they will also pose greater threat to civilization."
"The candidate I like must first have perfect humanity. Respecting life is the most basic condition."
Zi Yang sighed that such human beings almost do not exist. Perhaps only after millions of years of development like you can human beings reach that state of desirelessness and selflessness.
Arc light said, "Maybe, but so what? No matter how advanced a civilization is, it is not worth mentioning in the face of the power of the universe. Civilizations of millions of years will be vaporized and dissolved in an instant."
"The earth is full of vitality now and will be destroyed like us in the future."
Zi Yang was suddenly shocked when he heard this. You have calculated the day when humans were destroyed? Like you, you were swallowed up by a stellar storm?
The arc has no answer, perhaps a default.
Zi Yang finally realized the meaning of the long sigh. Even the last hope - humans, made him feel disheartened. For a soul that has survived for 800,000 years, there seems to be nothing to nostalgic for.
Zi Yang said tremblingly, "Since you can escape from the catastrophe, it means that you have mastered the ability to survive in the catastrophe, why not impart technology to humans?"
The arc light remained silent and murmured for a while: "So what? The civilization of our planet's millions of years is not as good as an eruption of a stellar storm."
"The history of human beings for hundreds of thousands of years is just a momentary glance in the universe."
"The billions of human life are just a drop in the ocean in the vast universe."
Zi Yang said excitedly: "Although humans have disappointed you, they are billions of lives after all. Don't your planetary civilization respect life the most? Give humans a chance!"
Although the arc light chuckled softly: "Your own life is in danger, and you are still considering the future fate of all mankind, hehe, hehe."
Zi Yang was stunned.
The arc continued: "The earth will end, and the universe will not be eternal."
"But I will not let the earth civilization end in my hands. I will not interfere with the process of human civilization again."
"Soon, the spacecraft's energy force field will reach a critical value with the decay of the core. Once it exceeds this critical value, I will not be able to control its collapse."
"So, I will start the self-destruction device in advance. In a very short time, the quantum collapse in the wreckage of the spacecraft will begin to react. The matter within dozens of kilometers around the spacecraft will be annihilated with me during the collapse, and new earth's material will be regenerated in an instant."
"Maybe it's what you said, dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil, hehe, the culture of the earthlings is also very interesting sometimes."
"I would disguise fusion as a natural disaster, to me, the end of civilization, to you, it is just a storm, isn't it interesting?"
After talking about it now, Arc Light's emotions have begun to relax. It is probably the last of 800,000 years of life that the soul has been relieved.
The arc turned around, as if it was gradually moving away, and the light and shadow gradually faded.
This guy has been imitating human behavior from beginning to end.
Zi Yang shouted anxiously, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
The arc light did not turn back, and the light continued to dim: "Do you want me to save the life of your companion? I will no longer interfere with human civilization. Whether you can escape these dozens of kilometers depends on your own efforts."
Finally the arc disappeared, and Zi Yang was immersed in the boundless darkness again.
Zi Yang comforted himself, and the last words from the arc light seemed to reveal a little hope. At this moment, a set of floating numbers suddenly appeared in front of him, a set of countdowns. 02:00:00, there are two days left, and there is enough time. Zi Yang thought, maybe there is still some help.
At this time, the last number began to jump, and then a series of numbers rolled wildly, it was a stopwatch! In just two hours, Zi Yang's eyes went dark, and this 800,000-year-old old guy actually joked with him!!!
After chatting for a long time, I was just a tool to relieve boredom at the moment of death.
