Five hundred and fiftieth chapters bring pilgrims
The news that the Pilgrim leader told us is absolutely very important and is an important information related to the success or failure of our immigration this time.
If we rashly bring all human beings into the universe without knowing such information, the consequences will be very terrifying. Imagine that when an immigrant fleet carrying human future hopes enters a lonely deep space, losing the obscurity of the huge planetary gravitational waves, we will be completely exposed to the induction of the Zerg, and at this time the Zerg will instinctively launch an attack on our fleet.
Our immigration fleet itself does not mean that it does not carry any weapons. After all, even if no one attacks us, it is quite dangerous to just fly around the universe. Therefore, deep space vehicles in the universe must be equipped with some interception weapons. However, these weapons may be fine to deal with meteorites, but Zergs are not meteorites, they will change their navigation posture. Moreover, the number of Zergs is definitely not comparable to meteorites.
Although there are many meteorites in the universe, normally unless we encounter a large meteorite group, they are usually scattered meteorites. These floating meteorites are actually very easy to intercept. However, the insects will never only have one or two, and even if there are only one or two insects at the beginning, will the remaining insects not do anything after we destroy them?
If we are attacked by some animal on Earth, we can't beat it and run, but the immigration ship itself does not carry much fuel and cannot be used for air combat. If too much fuel is wasted to avoid insects, it means that we may not have enough fuel for slowing down. Of course, ultra-electromagnetic engines do not use fuel. Even if we use up all the fuel in the rocket booster in advance, we can slow down through the ultra-electromagnetic engine. However, the output power of the ultra-electromagnetic engine is very low, which means we cannot complete the slowdown in a short time. Therefore, if we still start deceleration according to the predetermined time node, the fleet will rush over the target and fly to somewhere unknown. So if we plan to rely solely on the ultra-electromagnetic engine to slow down, then our only choice is to slow down in advance.
Deceleration in advance can slow down our speed over a longer period of time. In this way, we have enough time to complete the slowdown, but the result of doing so will extend our entire immigration time.
In fact, the immigration plan calculated now has taken up to two thousand years, and we are not sure whether our immigration ships can last for that long in this process. The reason for the plan to reduce the population during the journey and then dismantle some of the spacecraft as backup parts is because we have estimated that most spacecraft will not last for two thousand years. So, if we slow down ahead of schedule, it means that our voyage may be more than two thousand years.
Everyone knows that there may not be much difference in fatigue level when running fifty meters and running one hundred meters. Although the distance between the two is twice as different, the fatigue level difference between running ten thousand meters and ten thousand one hundred meters is very exaggerated. Because after running ten thousand meters, you are exhausted. At this time, don’t talk about running one hundred meters more, you will find it extremely difficult to take two more steps.
The same is true for our immigration ships. If you only plan to use them for one hundred years, then there will definitely be no big problem for serving for fifty years. However, our current plan is that these spacecraft will need to be used for two thousand years. If you serve for more than one hundred years, the result will be difficult to predict.
Once the spare parts are exhausted, the immigrant fleet may have problems at any time. No matter what problems occur during the immigration process, it will be a disaster for us, because we do not have the extra time and ability to solve these problems.
No matter what, the news that the Pilgrim leader told me was definitely a nuclear bomb level, but I did not plan to notify the heads of state so soon, because I still need to deal with the matter of the Pilgrim leader before I can explain the bug's problem clearly at one time.
After digesting the situation told me by the leader of the pilgrim, I asked, "So, do we have anything else to pay attention to except for the bugs?"
The leader of the pilgrim shook his head and said, "If your technology can solve the problem of the Zerg, then there will be no problem. Of course, the premise is that your immigration ship can really last for so long. You should know that time is the easiest existence to change everything. Even if there is no problem on your side, the planet over there may not be any problem. Just like the planet you are living in now, if a group of alien immigrants arrive on Earth at this time and learn that the earth is about to encounter the end of the world, what do you think they will react?"
I was completely unaware of how to answer the words of the Pilgrim leader, but I quickly felt relieved. If this kind of thing really happens, I can only admit that I am unlucky. Even if you know it, you can't take precautions in advance, so you have no way to deal with this kind of situation except for taking chances.
Besides, the current situation of human beings is actually immigration, but it is actually a escape. There is no room for pickiness when escaping. Think about the refugees who escaped from war areas on the earth. Would they expect to have a luxury presidential suite for professional cruise ships? As long as they can run out, even in the harsh environment where hundreds of people are crowded in a container, they still have to rush to board the ship because they have no choice at all.
The current situation of human beings is the reality of those refugees. This is a fleeing. All you can do is choose a good target and rush forward bravely. Success is luck, and you can only admit your bad luck if you die, because if you stay, you will die. There is still a glimmer of hope for rushing over.
"I understand that the probabilities you mentioned are all possible, but we really have no choice in our current situation."
The leader of the pilgrim nodded and said, "It's a pity that our civilization is not here, otherwise it would be not a problem to help you solve this problem. That mass galaxy killer is actually not a problem for us. As long as there is a large mining ship, it can be solved. But unfortunately, there is only these people left in my subordinates now, and I can't contact the local area. So I can't do anything about it."
"By the way. Just talking about us, you haven't mentioned the questions you asked before. Do you have any plans? We and humans are about to leave this planet. What are you going to do? Find a way to get a small spaceship to leave by yourself or with us? It is definitely not OK to stay on the earth. This place will soon turn into purgatory."
The leader of the pilgrim thought for a while before saying, "I personally prefer to leave with you, but we pilgrim are a race that emphasizes equality. Although they are all my subordinates, I cannot rashly represent them in this choice of deciding the future path. I need to ask everyone's opinions."
"It's okay, I can wait. But you'd better be as soon as possible, because we're very busy now, and we're also busy running around to escape."
"I know this." said the Pilgrim leader: "Wait a moment, I will connect with them with the spiritual network, and it will be fine soon."
The pilgrims have a spiritual network like our dragon clan, but they are called spiritual networks. But I think they are actually the same thing. After all, we were connected to the grid before and it was successful. It means that both are completely the same thing.
With the existence of the spiritual network channel, the communication speed of the pilgrims is also quite fast. None of the other pilgrims there moved, but just started the discussion after connecting to the spiritual network in place, and then the communication was completed in less than five minutes.
The leader of the pilgrim moved his attention from the spiritual network to me and spoke, "We have reached an agreement. Everyone feels that we should not be separated from you before we have obtained a spaceship built enough to return to the land of the Saturn. After all, your overall strength is much greater than us now. With you, our technology can be used to a certain extent, plus your own technology and resources. We can gain self-protection ability. If we are separated from you, it is too dangerous to rely on ourselves. If we encounter Zerg in the universe, we will definitely be done."
I nodded and said, "I understand, then I will arrange for you to leave with us. However, I have a few things to confirm with you."
"Please say." The Pilgrim leader said politely.
I didn't go around the corner and asked directly: "When I was connecting the spiritual network before, I seemed to find that you have a history of thousands of years here. In other words, you have lived for thousands of years, right?"
The leader of the pilgrim nodded and said, "Yes, according to your timing, I am already over 7,900 years old. But don't worry, I am still middle-aged and very far from death."
"Are you almost eight thousand years old or middle-aged?"
The leader of the pilgrim said disapprovingly: "Yes! The average age of our pilgrim is over 15,000 years old according to your time, and I am less than 8,000 years old. It is still early to die. Moreover, if I can understand the true meaning of the void at the last moment of my life, then I can be reincarnated as a hero, and then I will gain an infinite life."
"Heroic spirit?" My chin almost fell off. "Can you still be reborn?"
"No, no, no, it is not rebirth, it is reincarnation. Our body only has a lifespan of more than 10,000 years, and life will end at that moment. But our thoughts and souls may not necessarily be eliminated. We will return to the mother planet when we are about to reach the limit of our lifespan, and then lie quietly around the void crystal waiting for the end of our lifespan. If we can understand the true drop of void before death, the soul will enter the void crystal with memories and our thoughts. Then the tribesmen will build a mechanical body for us, and we will transfer ourselves to a part of the void crystal. As long as the tribesmen cut this part, they can separate us from the void crystal, and then we will become eternal existences. Even if the void crystal fragment we are in is destroyed, we may not die. Instead, there is a high probability that we will return to the mother body of the void crystal. Just cut a small void crystal to allow us to be reborn again."
"You cut it like this, won't the mother's void crystal be used up soon?"
"No, no, no, the void crystal is the essence of energy, she has life. We are like her children. When we die, the body is the body, and the soul will be reclaimed by the mother. However, if we cannot understand the true meaning of void, we cannot return to the mother with memories, and we will naturally be unable to be reborn. But if we come back with memories, the mother will absorb energy and then reborn a crystal for us to replace the previous body to carry our soul."
"You mean that this void crystal mother can grow?"
"Yes. When we first discovered the mother crystal seemed to be as big as a mountain, but now it has covered most of the mother star. At this development rate, in another five million years, our entire mother star will become a whole piece of void crystal."
I shook my head and said I couldn't understand, but I didn't ask in detail. After all, this matter has little to do with us. I turned the topic back to things we need to care about. "If you have a long lifespan, do you hope to enter the dormant compartment or stay awake during the entire immigration process?"
The Pilgrim leader did not hesitate this time. He said very surely: "We hope to stay awake because your immigration process is very risky. If we are awake, in case of danger, we can not only fight, but also really cannot resist. At least we can leave ourselves and increase the possibility of survival for ourselves."
The pilgrim leader does not speak as he does on earth, and they like to say whatever they have. For the things he just expressed, humans will never say that. What does it mean for their own safety? Humans will do such things, but they will never say so publicly.
Of course, I like the way the pilgrims speak very much. They are much more relaxed and pleasant than talking to those hypocritical guys. At least you don’t have to beware of the other party cheating you. They just attack you whatever they want to do to you and never hide it.
"Then I know, I will prepare the activity space for you. But I still need to know whether you want to have an independent spaceship or be with us. If it is an independent spaceship, we may not be able to provide you with too big spaceships, because..."
Before I finished speaking, the Pilgrim leader reached out to stop me and continued. "I know that you have no extra energy to take care of us in your current situation. So we will not ask for additional spacecraft. I am willing to use your large spacecraft, but if possible, I hope I can be on the same spacecraft with you. During the voyage, we may be able to jointly develop some equipment to increase the success rate of immigration. Although it is impossible for us to build large equipment, sometimes even some small devices can play a big role."
Actually, I understand the meaning of the Pilgrim leader very well, because if he doesn't say it, I will ask the next step. Although based on the information I got from the other party, the pilgrims and creators are in alliance, our dragon clan is strictly not sure that they are the creators' forces. Although we are artificial creatures designed and created by the creators and pilgrims, we are like orphans. In fact, they just completed the original sequence, and even our embryos were artificially synthesized according to the sequence records and a little sample. In other words, the creators and pilgrims designed us. Humans are our builders.
According to this situation, our dragon clan actually does not think that we are part of the creator, at least we don’t have this idea before we contact each other. As for the pilgrims... I can only say that I think we have a good impression of them. This race is easier to get along with than humans. Developed technology does not mean that people are more cunning. In fact, the simplicity of the pilgrims makes you feel a little unbelievable. IQ and EQ are indeed things that you don’t want to do at all. In terms of IQ, these guys are far from human galaxies, but EQ is not that true.
It is precisely because we don’t think we are part of the creator and we don’t think we are pilgrims. So we can only be considered passers-by, at most we can just talk a little bit. The relationship is similar to the person you met on the way home on the Spring Festival. Everyone just chatted about something casually and thought it was still speculative, but it was like that when it comes to relationships.
Now that humans are fleeing, our dragon clan is the same. At this time, everyone is very busy and has to bring a group of irrelevant people. This kind of thing is not just a moral issue. However, I plan to bring them with me without any hesitation, not because of that little bit of favor, nor because of my cosmic spirit, but because they are useful.
These guys have very advanced skills. Before the immigration starts, we really don’t have time to learn to organize these things because everyone is busy with immigration plans, but once the immigration plan starts, we have nothing to do.
