In the year 2237 of the Old Earth Era, the Prometheus carried one million of the most elite warriors, astronauts and various scientists from various countries in the Old Earth Era on a voyage. The goal of their voyage was Andromeda, the most similar solar system in the world.

of galaxies.

The selection of this galaxy was the result of repeated observations in the old Earth era through the best astronomical telescopes at that time. They felt that based on the conditions of that galaxy, it was very likely that a planet suitable for human habitation would appear.

Prometheus spent about a year flying out of the gravitational range of the solar system at normal cruising speed without destroying the gravitational balance of the solar system itself, and then used space ejection to increase its speed by five times in half a year.

Ten times, and it is still approaching the peak of the normal speed of the universe at a rate of ten times increase every year.

According to this growth rate, they will be able to reach the limit of the normal speed of the universe in up to seven years. If they keep flying at this speed, they will be able to fly to the designated Andromeda Galaxy in about thirteen years.

During this process, the spacecraft has always maintained close contact with the earth and will send out relevant information every month. Although the information is already one or two years old based on time, this connection has never been broken.

At the same time, the immigration of the Earth to Mars has begun. The first batch of about 30 million people have begun to immigrate to Mars. Their mission is to test the adaptability of humans to the Martian environment, and to transplant the first batch of genetically cultivated environmental plants to conduct preliminary research on Mars.

transformation.

During this process, nearly 10 million people died from environmental adaptation, unknown diseases and accidents. The remaining 10 million people initially established a foothold on Mars and built five Mars cities. The first

Nearly 60% of the environmental plants brought in the first batch, more than 3,000 plants, have completely adapted to Mars and have begun to multiply. Nearly half of the air in the five Martian cities has begun to be obtained through the photosynthesis of these plants. Everything seems to be heading towards

development in the best direction.

Under this circumstance, the United Nations organization of the old Earth era began to launch the second phase of the Mars immigration plan. This second phase of the Mars immigration plan is crucial to the entire plan, because this group of immigrants will be responsible for mining ores in the universe.

Task.

At that time, the resources of the old Earth era had reached their limit. After completing the second phase of the Mars immigration plan, there were no resources to advance the third phase of the plan. All kinds of resources could only be mined from the universe and transported back to Earth through the second phase of the immigration plan.

Only by replenishing resource gaps can we continue to advance the immigration plan and ultimately reduce the burden on the earth.

However, during the implementation of the second phase of the Mars immigration plan, a sudden cosmic magnetic storm swept across the solar system, and all communication equipment failed. When the magnetic storm swept through the solar system, a spacecraft carrying 50 million second-phase immigrants was

Still flying in the universe.

Three years later, the impact of the cosmic magnetic storm on the solar system completely disappeared. The Earth began to contact Mars, and after learning about the situation, they all felt despair.

The second phase of the Mars immigration spacecraft was completely wiped out in a cosmic magnetic storm, all the equipment on the spacecraft was destroyed, and none of the immigrants on the spacecraft survived.

The defensive power of the Martian atmosphere cannot be compared with that of the Earth. In the cosmic magnetic storm, various cosmic rays and radiation fell on Mars. Those environmental plants that had originally survived died in large numbers, and various equipment in the five Martian cities also suffered to varying degrees.

of damage, the most severely damaged of which are various life-support systems.

When facing the problem of survival, violence inevitably appeared. Wars began to occur within the five Mars cities and between the five Mars cities. The war model changed from high-tech weapons at the beginning, to gunpowder weapons later, and then to

Later, until the cold weapons were able to contact the earth, only one of the five Martian cities could still maintain basic subsistence operations, and the population had been reduced to only more than one million, and these more than one million were not integrated.

It was divided into more than a dozen factions and occupied different areas of this Mars city, barely able to maintain a state of non-destruction.

In this terrible state, it is a question whether these more than one million people can live for another ten years, let alone support the earth.

After receiving this news, the earth fell into despair, because the successful takeoff of the second phase of the immigration spacecraft is already the limit of the earth's resources. With the current earth's resources, let alone restarting the immigration plan, even if the ship is earlier, it can carry more people.

A spaceship with more than a hundred people cannot do it, not to mention that the cosmic magnetic storm has destroyed the earth's communication system, and the political situation and people's livelihood inside the earth have also fallen into chaos, and a world war will break out at any time.

Although feeling desperate, the old Earth government still did not give up the last glimmer of hope, which was the Prometheus spacecraft flying to Andromeda.

After restarting to receive cosmic signals, the earth also regained the information from Prometheus. Due to the destruction of the cosmic magnetic storm, this information was incomplete. After reorganization, it is still possible to roughly understand the situation of Prometheus.

Fortunately, we did not encounter this wave of cosmic magnetic storms.

In the view of the old Earth government, as long as the Prometheus successfully found the colonial planet in the outer galaxy, there would be hope for everything. Therefore, relying on this last glimmer of hope, the governments of the old Earth era maintained fragile stability and balance.

However, one day three years later, the old Earth government received a new message from the Prometheus. There was only one sentence on it: "We were wrong, we were all wrong. There is nothing here, nothing!"

Although this sentence has no beginning or end, everyone after seeing this message clearly understands what this message means and what this message represents. The stability that the governments of various countries finally maintained completely collapsed. It was called

The doomsday world war broke out on the third day after the information was released. On the fourth day, all countries in the world, including those as small as a town, were involved in the war.

Later, the Earth's federal government specifically investigated the Prometheus incident. Based on various data, they inferred that based on the flying speed of Prometheus at that time, it should not have reached the target galaxy, and the target galaxy was not as good as the information indicated.

There is nothing as described. Instead, as scientists from the old Earth era inferred, it is a very suitable galaxy environment for human habitation, with as many as three colonizable stars and six resource stars.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Prometheus spacecraft can reach the target galaxy, then with the technology on the Prometheus spacecraft, one to three new Prometheus can be copied within three years, and a large number of

Bringing resources back to the earth and transporting more immigrants to the earth will relieve the pressure on the earth, and naturally there will be no doomsday wars.

However, not only was the information received by the old Earth government of unknown origin, but the Prometheus spacecraft also disappeared along the route.

Even though the Earth Federation later used various means to search, and even invited an Omega-level advanced life form from the Universal Parliament that could capture the cosmic light rays, and asked him to find the answer from the time rays, no clues were found.

The answer given by the omega-level advanced life form was that there are higher forms of life forms that interfere with the cosmic light rays.

This also made the Earth Federation wonder whether the people of the old earth era were plotted by some omega-level advanced life form, but looking back and thinking about it, I felt that maybe I was overthinking it, because if there really were omega-level advanced life forms,

If the body wanted to deal with the people on Earth at that time, there was no need to use these methods. It would not be difficult to directly destroy the entire solar system.

Precisely because all this happened inexplicably, the Prometheus has become an unsolvable mystery in the history of the Earth Federation's old earth era. The only thing that can be known now is that there is an alien race plotting against the earth, but what exactly is it?

Which alien race is still a mystery.

Some scientists also believe that the alien race that plotted against the earth may have perished in a certain civilized race war, so that no clues can be found in the Earth Federation's investigation, because all clues disappeared with the demise of civilization.

When Leo was still a cyborg, he had no interest in these things from the old earth era. He just passively accepted the information. But now when he told Sylvia about the compiled historical information, he also experienced it again.

A review of the changes in the world in the old earth era.

I don’t know if it’s because he has normal human emotions, but in the process of retelling this period of history, Leo couldn’t help but feel some indescribable emotions in his heart.

Even though Leo was like this, the emotional fluctuations in Sylvia's heart became even greater. She completely listened to what Leo said as a mythical epic.

In what Leo said, there were a lot of words that seemed to be in another language that she couldn't understand at all, but just understanding the parts that she could understand was enough to shock her.

For example, launching a spaceship that tens of millions of people can fly in the sky, such as the ability to transform stars, immigrate to stars, etc., in her eyes, this is like listening to some kind of myth, even though she has seen so many technologies of cosmic civilization,

We even saw the Prometheus towering in front of our eyes, which was regarded as a city, but we still felt unbelievable.

Although the two of them deliberately slowed down, when Leo finished describing the end of the old earth era, they still arrived at the entrance gate of Lanxi City.

I saw that this city gate should be the material transportation channel on the middle deck of the Prometheus. The transmission deck of the channel has been extended and fell to the ground. Later people reinforced the bottom of the deck, added some stone pillars, and placed them on the deck.

There are some steps and pavements made of stone slabs to facilitate walking.

According to the rules of Lanxi City, every outsider entering the city needs to pay a certain amount of gold-like metal. Although this metal is a rare metal in the Black Forest, for those who want to enter the city, this

The effort is nothing, so there is still a bustling scene at the city gate.

At this time, Sylvia had recovered from the emotional emotion of the old earth era. She looked up at the hemispherical spacecraft as huge as a mountain in front of her, and couldn't help but ask: "Why is this Prometheus

Is the number here?"

"That's what I want to know too." Leo replied calmly.

Leo looked up at the light coming from the observation windows on the outer wall, and then looked at the light projected inside the city gate. He was sure that the Prometheus's basic lighting energy could still operate normally even after so many years.

This also means that the main control computer in the Prometheus can also be used, and he may be able to get some useful information from it.

However, Leo was also confused, because according to the information in his memory about the energy system onboard the Prometheus, even if it was just to maintain the lighting of the entire spacecraft, it would definitely not be able to maintain it for tens of thousands of years, and

The auxiliary energy system is the most primitive energy sail. This energy sail can only collect a small part of the cosmic rays and light energy. Even if it is not damaged, in an environment like the Black Forest, the energy sail can almost be said to be a decoration.

Therefore, he was very confused as to what the device was that maintained the lighting energy for the entire Prometheus.

Although Leo and Sylvia's behavior of stopping by the city gate corridor to look up at Lanxi City was a bit out of place with the flow of people around them, they did not attract the attention of the people around them because there were not a few people who behaved like them.

, in their opinion, it is doubtful that people who come to Lanxi for the first time are not shocked by the magnificence of Lanxi City.

Leo and Sylvia also paid the city fee with Jin Sa. The Lanxi tax collector in charge of the fee was a little curious about Jin Sa gold coins, but he did not ask more about Jin Sa. After all, he had received gold coins in the past.

There are also a lot of novel currencies, and he has seen even weirder currencies, and he has long been used to them.

After learning that Leo and Sylvia were visiting Lanxi City for the first time, he briefly explained the precautions, and then took out a booklet recording these precautions and a simple map of Lanxi City, along with

The temporary residence permit for three days' stay was also given to Leo.

After entering the city, Leo briefly flipped through the brochure and found that the map in the brochure was very simple. It only marked the locations of major urban areas and some restricted areas. Most of the contents at the back of the brochure were some tours.

guide.

Sylvia took the booklet from Leo's hand and looked at it. She quickly discovered the problem with the map and said, "The area of ​​the map here seems to be much smaller than the actual area of ​​Lanxi City."

"It's less than one-tenth of the actual area." Leo gave a relatively accurate figure.

Among the information in his memory, there are Prometheus construction drawings, equipment drawings, internal structure drawings and other drawings. These drawings are so detailed that if he has enough manpower, financial resources and materials, Leo believes that he can also

Use these drawings to rebuild a Prometheus.

It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of the level of understanding of the Prometheus, the locals in Lanxi are probably far behind him. Just taking a look at the drawing, he has already found at least three
