The people of the starry sky-humans call these mysterious lives from the depths of the stars, and in Holleta, the ancient magic emperors called them "allies in the stars." The real names of these mysterious lives have their own names, but because of the strange language and vocabulary structure they use, it is difficult for ordinary races to accurately restore their race names, whether transliteration or free translation, so those who have been in contact with these mysterious lives In the end, the races chose their own way of calling.

The image of the people of the starry sky is a shapeless bright radiance, with stars and lightnings wandering inside the stars. Some people believe that these creatures are formed by the most primitive and pure light in the universe, which represents this The pure bright side of the world. They have weird technologies that humans ca n’t understand-they can also be magic, and they can cause all kinds of miracles. Some people even believe that they have some kind of power beyond the physical world, which can affect fate, causality and other illusory things. thing. The people of the starry sky first established communication with humans on this planet through spiritual connections, and then they came to this planet through a strange, non-physical common sense optical phenomenon, and soon showed its incredible Power and great quality.

The people of the starry sky warned the locals of the awakening of First born, and told a disaster beyond mortal imagination that would almost subvert the entire universe. At first, humans on this planet did not believe these warnings, but the people of the starry sky quickly confirmed everything through a series of precise predictions and First born tentacles excavated from deep underground. They help the indigenous people here to prepare for the disaster of annihilation, including the plan against First born and the special shield to protect the planet after the sun bursts-these things are all from the hands of these strange and brilliant creatures.

"That is to say, they came to this planet from the depths of the universe, give you early warning, guide you to transform the planet into an ark, help you push First born into the sun and detonate it, and also help you build a planet shield This is something that is seriously beyond your technology tree, "Hao Ren listened to the records of the people of the starry sky from the Ark host, he frowned," ... but finally failed, the people of the starry sky did not know that the soul of First born can be in The flesh and body continue to survive after death, and even have the power to destroy the entire ecological circle. So what is the ending of those people in the sky? "

"They return to the light." The Ark host replied in a straight and emotionless voice, and showed the record of the last moment of the planet on a machine next to it. Hao Ren saw the earth shrouded in one. Under the thin dark red light, the distant sun is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye and gradually splitting. The people on the surface seem to be celebrating, but when the sun expands to one third of the sky, the celebration is The crowd began to fall.

At this time, a few strange rays of light sprang from the crowd. They seemed to be intertwined with the lightning and jelly twisted together, and the scale of the light inside was like a house. These lights twitched violently against the sky, and finally turned into huge beams of light suddenly disappearing.

The light clusters should be the people of the stars, Hao Ren believes that the last beam of light is the scene when they died.

Allies in the stars-the ancients of Holleta firmly believe that these mysterious creatures from the depths of the universe can help themselves against First born, and the latter does indeed seem to have power beyond the mortal race, at least they can successfully destroy First born ’s flesh. But it turns out that this level of power is still not enough, and the people of the starry sky finally died on this planet's ark.

The picture freezes at the moment when the beam of light disappears. Vivian looks at the screen thoughtfully: "These light-like races should be everywhere in the universe. Their aerospace technology is very clever, so they are probably capable of First born. Pursuing self-protection, but to help other races ... it is not very successful. "

Hao Ren sighed and asked a few questions to the host of the Ark. Then things finally fell out.

The original plan of the people of the starry sky and the aborigines of this planet was to leave the ark after destroying the First born with the sun and re-find a place with suitable stars, but on the day of the ark sailing ceremony, the civilization on the planet will be instant Extinct. For more than ten thousand years after this, the planet was sleeping peacefully in its mother star system, just like death. But there is still something "alive" on this planet-the machines left by humans are still silently waiting in the dark, they never forget the purpose of their creation, and never give up the ancients that were established 10,000 years ago. plan.

In the ten thousand years of the planet ’s sleep, the Ark host maintained a minimum operation and scanned the life response of the entire planet over and over again-it continued to search for survivors on the planet under the guidance of established procedures, even if only If a person survives, the existence of the Ark will continue.

If it is a human, it must have been abandoned, but these machines, since the day they were made, do not know what to give up.

Vivian figured it all out: "Nangong couple restarted the Ark's sailing agreement?"

The Ark host confirmed her conjecture.

"So those TVs, newspapers, advertisements, names and places in the city ... are all human societies actually simulated by you?"

The answer of the Ark host is only one sentence: "The civilization of the creator cannot be cut off."

Hao Ren feels that this host's understanding of "civilization" seems to have some problems, but he opened his mouth several times and did not know if he had a position to correct this "problem". The machine in front of it is only using its own mechanized logic to complete its mission. It may not really understand what civilization is, or what the creators want to preserve, it is an abstract, carrying human will Yes, AI is difficult to understand things, the Ark host does not understand these.

But it still stubbornly carried out the instructions of 10,000 years ago-in its own way.

"So you don't let the people in the city leave," Hao Ren sighed, "but you also know that we are not your creators-it doesn't make much sense to take us away."

The Ark host was silent for a long time, and finally repeated in a voice without emotion: "The civilization of the creator cannot be cut off."

"So what is your next plan?" Vivian asked. "You let us come here, which proves that you are also hesitating. You understand that you can't continue this stalemate. This is an illusion. It's nothing. A meaningless play. "

Hao Ren also fixedly looked at the giant computer in the center of the hall. Although he can't see any emotional factors from the other person's steel body, he vaguely feels that this AI is also confused like human beings. There is something in the body that is not part of the program, which is prompting it to seek change.

A long silence again, the Ark host asked a question: "Where are you from?"

"You have antennas on the ground, don't you point them to space, there is a silver-white spaceship," Hao Ren said while connecting to ASanbaA in his mind, "Terminal, for this Planet Radio, tell it about Space - Time Administrative Bureau. "

The lights on the surface of the Ark ’s main unit flickered, quietly listening to the broadcast from space, while Hao Ren and Vivian waited patiently beside them. A few minutes later, a human-like sigh came from the host: "I understand."

After half an hour, Hao Ren led everyone back to the giant turtle rock platform in space.

He only brought back two things from the Planet Ark.

One of them is a square black metal box with a half-person height. It is a library that stores most of the materials of the Ark civilization. The Ark host tried its best to understand what "civilization" means. Finally, it created this database and hoped that someone could take it to a distance. Just like most civilizations-when facing the end, the ark chose to leave its own message, which is the only way to commemorate its creator.

The other thing is a one-foot-high transparent jar with some gray-green substances in it. This is the second thing the Ark host wants the Hao Ren to take away: they are scraped from the condensation pipe moss.

Life samples on this planet.

The Ark host explained this way: "Some scholars among the creators have deduced the failure of the entire plan, so they conceived some alternatives: if they ca n’t keep humans, save some animals, if they ca n’t keep animals, save some. Plants, if everything can't be saved, save some cells. Please take these away, let them survive and spread, and my task will be completed. "

The giant tortoise rock platform slowly deviated from the orbit of the planet Ark in a blue light package, and the gray wandering planet drifted away in the field of vision.

In the shelter of the Planet Ark, the lights are dimming one by one, the day is over, and after dusk, another civilization falls into darkness. Unmanned cars slowly stopped on the side of the road, and robots stopped working one after another, and began to turn off the power one by one. On the advertising screen of the roadside building, a middle-aged man with a straight uniform and gray hair was watching The empty city, the last good night to this world road: "Citizens, the shelter is about to close, thank you all, bye."

When the last ray of light in the space was obscured by the warped space, the crowd regained their sight from the holographic image. "Roll" curiously looked at the black metal box brought back by Hao Ren, and arched it with his head: "It's so heavy."

Hao Ren sighed: "Yeah, it's quite heavy." (To be continued.)
