Chapter 174
Thousands of corpses of aliens piled up like a mountain, these are only what Mu Chen saw in the line of sight. There may be more corpses in places that Mu Chen did not see.
Because the spacecraft of the alien, its internal space is larger than Mu Chen imagined, and it may have functions such as spatial expansion and spatial extension.
This allowed the aliens to vacate a lot of rooms to hold these corpses.
At the same time, the existence of corpses also proves the fact that a large number of aliens died.
This is a puzzling point. It is clear that these alien visitors have the "immortality" technology, but they did not use it to resurrect their companions, but let the large number of dead bodies lie in the "coffin." .
Although these "coffins" seem to be life-saving devices, the liquid and connected equipment in the "coffins" seem to be able to maintain the vitality of the body.
But so many "coffins" are piled here, saying that they don't need to consume Mu Chen absolutely don't believe it...Then assume that these devices consume electricity. Mu Chen thinks that electricity consumption alone is a big expense. .
Many questions forced Mu Chen to draw various assumptions in his mind.
The first hypothesis is to hypothesize the cause of death of these aliens. If they are due to accidents in the process of space travel, resulting in a large number of deaths.
If this hypothesis is true, then Mu Chen feels that the most important thing they should do right now is to drive the spacecraft back to their home star to rest, or send a distress signal directly to ask for the help of the home star.
However, regardless of whether it was returning to the home planet or sending a distress signal, the alien who was experimenting on Mu Chen didn't do these two options. Instead, he went to Earth and created a fringe world.
At the same time, he ran in front of mankind shamelessly, asking for cooperation and help, lying to those innocent and kind guys that he was just an interstellar traveler, and rested the spacecraft casually when passing by the earth. The emergence of the marginal world is a mistake he accidentally made, and he is working hard to make up for the mistake!
This situation inevitably makes Mu Chen wonder if this alien has no place to go back? That's why the corpses of all the companions in the house are left alone. Do you have to dominate the earth?
This possibility is very high, but Mu Chen cannot be 100% sure. Perhaps for aliens, corpse life-sustaining equipment does not consume much energy, and the soul or consciousness of companions can also be placed in the edge-like world. They are kept inside, so these corpses are just kept, and it’s not a thing to be a three-hundred-year-old decoration at all.
There is also a second assumption, which is that these corpses are not corpses.
Because the aliens themselves have said that on their planet, if people die, their bodies are aging or destroyed, they can save their consciousness first, and then they can make a new body before moving their consciousness into it. .
So, the hundreds of shells placed in the spaceship may not be the "corpses" that Mu Chen thought, but the freshly baked "new shells" may also be.
But so many "new exorcism shells" mean that there are corresponding and large numbers of souls waiting for these shells, which also confirms the dilemma that a large number of aliens have died and their souls have nowhere to go.
Immediately after the incident went round and round and came back to the same question...Why do you want to leave so many companions to dispel the shells? It had to stay on the earth for more than three hundred years, during which the means were exhausted, which promoted the birth and development of the fringe world and caused the abnormal death of many human beings.
Mu Chen thought about it, but finally came up with an idea. What if the alien really has no place to go back?
The home planet and civilization are extinct. This spacecraft and the few aliens on it may be their last blood and hope.
During the long voyage of space, the people on the spacecraft died or hibernated one by one. When there was only one person left, the spacecraft reached the earth.
Needless to say the next thing, I came to such a planet with "a lot of life" and "suitable for the environment and resources."
For this group of alien visitors who are almost exhausted, it is like encountering an oasis in the desert.
However, the aliens did not immediately invade the earth and enslave mankind with lightning speed. This may be because it has also encountered a problem.
The bodies of these aliens are not adapted to the earth’s environment, and the earth’s air is toxic to them. If they don’t want to wear "space suits" or wear "oxygen masks" and other things to live on the earth, They have only one choice.
To transform the earth into an environment suitable for them?
No, let’s not talk about how much resources, time and energy it takes to transform the environment. In other words, after the transformation is successful, most of the life on the earth will be extinct as a result, and the ecological circle formed by animals, plants, and microorganisms will collapse in a straight line. This is not much different from directly destroying the earth.
Naturally, alien visitors cannot travel all the way to destroy the earth. They come here to seek a new home. In order to integrate into this home, they have to adapt to the environment here.
For them with "immortality technology", this shouldn't be a difficult task. After all, they only need to find a group of humans, or simply create a group of humans to expel the shell, and directly move in the consciousness that has been preserved early. , Everything will be fine.
But for some reason, they didn't do it, and it's possible...there is no way to do it.
The structure and size of the container are different, what kind of influence will the inner soul will have on it?
This point is unimaginable for Mu Chen and others who are confined to the small planet Earth. As long as the alien does not give a definite answer, they will never want to know the truth for the rest of their lives.
But then again, there is no difference between knowing the truth or not knowing it. At this stage, Mu Chen and the others only need to figure out that this group of outsiders can't do it.
They couldn't directly transfer their souls to humans, so they experimented on Mu Chen and others, and created a test field as large as the fringe world.
This conclusion means that Mu Chen and the others still have a chance to make a comeback.
……
Meanwhile, on the alien spaceship, Jin is talking to alien creatures disguised as a lonely old man.
The old man said to Jin Dao: "I have placed too much hope on Mu Chen. I gave him the memory of Amu. The new knowledge and power strengthened his spirit and made him a'weapon'. It's a pity He is not a machine..."
"He has so many emotions. The complex human emotions doomed him not to complete the tasks I gave him. I had already anticipated this."
Jin stood beside the old man. He could understand every word the other person said. However, when these words were combined, it would be difficult for Jin to understand the meaning of the old man.
Jin did not force himself to understand the meaning of the other party's words. He focused more on the surrounding environment. The densely arranged "crystal coffins" shocked him, as well as the strangeness in the coffin. Body...
Looking around the surroundings, uncontrollably, Jin asked the same question as Mu Chen back then, Jin asked: "What are these?"
The old man paused when he heard the words and sighed: "Why do you humans always like to ask the same questions?"
But the old man still answered Jin, but his answer was slightly different from the answer when he answered Mu Chen. He said, "These are my dead companions...They are waiting for a new life, and that day is no longer far away. "
"It means you want to resurrect them and use your so-called'immortality technology', right?" Jin felt a little strange, "I always thought you were alone...because of the past or the present, your language Both your behavior and behavior reveal the fact that you are a'lone wolf', so I think you should be the only one on the spaceship."
The old man glanced at Jin with a thoughtful look, and smiled: "When my companions are all dead, I will naturally be alone."
"Then what would you do?" Jin clenched his fists unnaturally and tried his best to calm himself down, "Is there any relationship between the resurrection companion and the fringe world you have created?"
"You are more keen than I thought. You are very strong in spirit or will. What a good soul." The old man looked at the gold with a strange look, and his expression seemed to estimate the value of the gold. The same sight made Jin feel uncomfortable.
"I once said to Herqiu that I will help him resurrect Amu and Axin in a hundred years from now, and today, I have fulfilled my promise." The old man moved away from his eyes. Looking forward to a certain direction without looking back, Jin paused for a moment and followed.
"You said you fulfilled your promise, but Amu is not really Amu." Jin insisted on his own opinion. "Now Amu's real name is Mu Chen. Even if Mu Chen has the memory of Amu, it doesn't mean he is. Ah Mu."
"No, he is already." The old man didn't change his face, as if he was confident about it. "From the time I gave him the order to enter the fringe world to kill the fringe will, he has gradually become the real Amu. Especially. It was when he refused my order and refused to kill the edge will. This has proved that he is the brand new Amu."
"What do you mean?" Jin didn't quite understand.
"Because the marginal will is A Mu's'brother', and A Mu's beloved'brother'. As long as Mu Chen accepts the existence of this'brother', and loves this'brother as much as A Mu ', it means that Mu Chen has completely assimilated with Amu, completely accepting Amu's emotional memory and thoughts."
"The same is true for Ashin, as long as he falls in love with this'brother' and tries to be with him."
When the old man said this, he smiled: "That's why I said I succeeded. Whether it is Amu or Axin, they have been resurrected."
"What is the point of resurrecting the dead three hundred years ago? Is it just to honor the promise?" Jin seized this golden opportunity and kept asking the old man. He felt that the old man at this moment would not refuse him. problem.
"I am a person who keeps promises. It is naturally necessary to fulfill my promises." The old man said, "However, I did all this deliberately to experiment on this pair of brothers."
"Experiment?"
"My companions have been dead for too long." The old man glanced at the cold "coffins" piled up around him.
"I should have told you before that in this world...no, all life in this universe exists as a hazy energy body after death. This is what you humans usually think of as a'soul'. "
"Souls cannot exist forever. Every minute and every second of their existence consumes their own energy. As time goes by, the soul will slowly dissipate, transform into primitive particles, and merge into the world."
"Many souls will slowly abandon their memories, emotions and even themselves as they dissipate." The old man sighed, "become a pure energy body without any self-thought."
"Even on our planet, we preserve these souls by creating a spiritual space similar to the'marginal world', but we still can't completely prevent the'death' of these souls. At best, the process of demise is changed. Go slow."
The old man's words made Jin completely understand.
Jin was surprised: "You mean, your companions...because they have been dead for too long, so their souls are already..."
"Yes." The old man nodded, "In addition, our family achieves immortality by replacing the body, and in the process of replacing the body, the soul will be more or less worn out, so the soul of our family Very weak."
"We can no longer continue to replace our bodies, because the soul is too weak to withstand any bumps, we can only think of other ways to achieve our'immortality'."
Jin suddenly felt terrified and his back was chilly, "The other way you call it, is to make a fuss about our human souls? Just like you did to Mu Chen, let a person who originally possessed a perfect self-will become' Another person'?"
"It's not completely another person." The old man took it for granted, "Mu Chen still retains his original self, but has been incorporated into Amu's character habits and emotional memory."
"What is the difference between this and becoming an'other person'?" Jin couldn't help but raise the volume.
"It depends on your understanding of self-will." The old man looked at Jin with a sharp gaze. "What is the so-called "self"? Is it the will of feelings and memories? If there is I have exactly the same feelings and memories as you. Can you say that that person is you?"
Jin opened his mouth, and he couldn't answer.
