Chapter 1,231 Inheritance and Gifts
Looking at everything in front of him, Jiang Chen remained silent for a long time. Sound of nature
After a while, he squeezed out a question from between his lips.
"Why don't you go to other planets? If you can even reach the center of the earth, it shouldn't be difficult to get out of this planet."
"I have to correct you. Not everyone yearns for the sky." Light Ball said in a calm tone, "We are more willing to explore downwards, and the solar system at that time was quite young. And young means barren."
"In fact, very early on, we also tried to explore the sky above us, but no one wanted to leave this land. We would rather stay in a cave for the rest of our lives than stay on the surface for one more second, let alone The universe is even more distant. We have no tradition of traveling to very distant places at all. All our traditions, beliefs and culture revolve around our mines."
"We evacuated the metal from the Earth's core and replaced the Earth's magnetic field with a magnetic generator. However, when we tried to use the power of the entire planet to create the strongest metal, it caused a terrible disaster."
"Mars's magnetic field disappeared, and the solar wind blew away our atmosphere. Plants withered, life withered, and the ecological reserves we built on the surface for centuries were destroyed in an instant. Bathed in radiation, countless people Get sick and die. Everything happened so suddenly that we were not mentally prepared at all."
"When the apocalypse came, we put art, antiques, everything that could prove our existence in this building."
"Yet in the end, only the building itself seems to have survived."
The silence lasted for a long time.
Jiang Chen sighed quietly and said softly.
"It's such a shame."
"Are you sorry?" The ball of light seemed to be smiling. Even Jiang Chen didn't know why he felt this way when he was looking at it. "In fact, when the end comes, the only thing we feel is no regrets."
"I have said that we are passionate about minerals and obsessed with metals. In the end we created the strongest and most powerful metal in nature, which exists even beyond our definition of metal... although we exhausted ourselves doing it It’s the last breath, but it’s still a perfect ending for us.”
The sound of the ball of light was very calm, and every note was so steady, until the last moment. It was as if what he was telling was not an elegy belonging to civilization, but just an ancient memory.
That's all.
"We have no other wishes, and no long-cherished wishes that have yet to be fulfilled. The last Gaia will grow old peacefully in this hall. Our only wish is that we just hope that you can remember that in this universe, such a thing once existed. A civilization.”
"You have inherited our memory, and I should give it to you as a gift."
"If our knowledge can help you solve the problems you are facing, just take it."
"The door is at your feet. As for the key, we stored it in an aircraft and placed it in the orbit of Mars like a kite. Since you can reach here from the distant Earth, it must not be difficult to find it. "
"It is a round ball, weighing one hundred kilograms. It is the crystallization of the entire Gaia civilization."
Speaking of this, Guangqiu's voice carried a hint of relief.
"This is all over, and I can finally rest. Just in time, the time is almost up."
Jiang Chen asked hurriedly, "Wait, what on earth did you do with that strong interaction material-"
"Which one are you talking about? We call it planetary forging technology." The luster on the light ball gradually dimmed, but the voice remained as calm as ever.
"Planetary forging technology?" Jiang Chen asked confused.
"It's very troublesome to explain. Even if it takes countless years, I can't explain it clearly. So, don't think about it. In order to make such a hundred kilogram ball, we have almost exhausted all the energy of our civilization..."
The sound of the light ball was weakened to the limit, and its light was like a candle in the wind.
Just when Jiang Chen was about to ask something, everything around him began to collapse.
As the world gradually faded, the ball of light gradually turned into dots of light particles, taking with it the last memory of the Gaia civilization and falling into the bottomless darkness.
Staring at the darkness that was gradually receding, a trace of hesitation suddenly rose in Jiang Chen's heart.
It is as if this void of darkness has swallowed up not only the last memory of Gaia civilization, but also the entire universe...
If the center of the earth is the end of Gaia’s civilization, then where is the end of human civilization?
…
"Really, it's really not me. I didn't do anything." With the cold gun pointed at the back of his head, Dr. Amos panicked and typed on the keyboard in front of the computer. "Strange, how is that possible! All the data is obviously normal. But the drone is missing! Loss of signal? Damn it!”
Pointing a pistol at Dr. Amos' head, Ayesha looked at the doctor in a white coat with a cold expression.
Behind her, stood a group of fully armed soldiers. They all held Ripper rifles in their hands. Their black tactical helmets blocked their sight, but they could not block the murderous intent.
"What will happen if the power is unplugged?" Ayesha said in a cold tone.
"It may have unpredictable consequences on the brain. I advise you not to do that..." Dr. Amos said with a cold sweat.
A murderous look flashed in Ayesha's eyes, and her thumb moved towards the safety of the pistol.
"Please, don't do this..." Amos' tone was a bit pleading.
Standing behind him were ghost agents, and at the door were the strongest special forces from Star Ring Trading. They were all guys who killed without blinking an eye, and these guys only recognized one person, the one who was lying on the chair now.
However, who would have thought that Jiang Chen was unconscious in his laboratory for three whole days! Jesus, he has experimented with this device countless times on himself, and it has never had any problems. How come Jiang Chen caught up with it by such a coincidence?
Is it because of the remains of that Martian civilization? But there are tens of millions of kilometers between here and there!
God, if he had known in advance that something like this would happen, he would not have dared to let Jiang Chen put on a helmet to witness some historical moment. He would rather have something happen to him than drag Jiang Chen with him. After all, he still has Miriam...
"Dr. Amos, I heard that you are from Munich, Germany."
"Yes...but I swear to God, I really have nothing to do with the remnants of Freemasonry, the Black Ship Organization, or the Willy Society. Damn it, I came to the new country just to stay away from these things. If you don’t believe it, ask…”
Dr. Amos wanted to say, "If you don't believe it, you can ask your husband," but looking at Jiang Chen who was lying motionless on the instrument, he swallowed the words hard.
Stimulating this lioness at this time seems to only lead to faster death...
"I'm sorry that I'm not a Christian. Now you are suspected of murdering the chairman of Xinghuan Trading. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid you will have to explain it to God." Ayesha said word by word.
Standing next to Aisha, Zhu Yu never spoke.
While she was also anxious about Jiang Chen's condition, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised in her heart.
She always thought that her instructor was a relatively indifferent and cold-blooded woman, but she never expected that she would be so angry that she would lose her mind because of someone's affairs.
"Ahem..."
At this moment, a cough suddenly came from the corner of the room.
Both pairs of eyes looked over.
Jiang Chen slowly sat up from the reclining chair of the instrument, reached out and took off the helmet on his head, shook his sore brain, and was stunned when he met the eyes of the pair.
"What's...what happened to you?"
"You are finally awake..." Looking at the muzzle of the gun that was moved away from his head, Amos sat down on the chair exhausted and joked with his last bit of strength, "If you were two seconds later, say Maybe your wife will send me to see God.”
