Chapter 426 Historical Records, “New” Crisis
Chen Ming returned to the Gaia galaxy soon after.
Things appear to be over for the Remnants for now.
They hid in their independent dimension, and there would be absolutely no movement until their queen awakened.
But others don't know this.
The survivors cannot disappear without reason.
So Chen Ming had to go and explain to the Minister of Psychics what had just happened.
After returning to the Gaia galaxy, Chen Ming went directly to the urban planet and found the minister of psychic energy.
The Minister of Psychics was currently in the Governor's Office in the Governor's Mansion, flipping through various documents here.
Seeing Chen Ming walk into the office, he immediately put down the document and asked: "Is it solved?"
"Solved."
"What's the result?"
"The person is not dead yet and is hiding from them, but the things that should be taken have been obtained."
"From today on, all the technologies of Shining Civilization belong to us humans. I will sort them out and share them all later."
The Minister of Psychics restrained some of his familiar attitude towards Chen Ming, and bowed slightly to Chen Ming solemnly.
However, Chen Ming just stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Promote it to the empire as soon as possible. The Machinery Clan will not give us too much time."
"The super body is coming, and the fleet behind it must be coming soon."
"I know."
"Well, also, didn't you ask me to take care of the cultural center before? Now there are results."
"So fast?"
"Yes, the reason is very simple. You will know when you listen to me."
Chen Ming took out the historical document he had found to decipher from the History Office of the Governor's Mansion, put the deciphered content on the terminal, and displayed it.
Previously, he had not shown all the documents that Chen Ming had obtained through psychic repair, including this document, to the Minister of Psychics.
Because those documents allow the survivors to see the special effects of his psychic powers.
But now all the survivors have fled.
The document has been deciphered.
In addition, there are also interactions with Nano and the situation in those ruins.
Chen Ming can completely explain the history of the survivors to the Minister of Psychics through this document.
"Have you seen it?"
"I've seen it."
"What specifically did you say?"
"It's quite interesting. It would be better if you see it for yourself."
Seeing that Chen Ming was showing off, the Minister of Psychics simply lowered his head and looked at the documents on the terminal that Chen Ming placed in front of him.
The content of this document is not an extremely written record of historical facts, but a diary-like log written by someone himself.
[June 57, Shining Year 7178, three years have passed since the war began. 】
[I have been assigned to do this work of compiling and revising the historical diary to ensure that even if we perish, our history will still be passed down. 】
[What you’re saying is, I’m just a small border clerk, but why are you asking me to do this kind of thing? We have no one available anymore? 】
There is a lot of information hidden in just the first paragraph.
The period of the "year" unit of the Shining Civilization is about 1.15 times longer than the human year, because the revolution period of their parent star is 1.15 times longer than the earth.
The parent star has satellites with a 60-day revolution period, so their year has 420 days, one month has 60 days, and one year has seven months, but their rotation periods are almost the same.
This makes Shining Civilization and human civilization actually have relatively similar calendars in basic terms.
The three years of shining civilization are about one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
"It is obviously very abnormal that it took so long after the war started for a clerk to record history."
"Either no one in the entire Shining Civilization did this before, or the person who did it has died and all the records have been lost, and the records need to be restarted."
After hearing Chen Ming's words, the Minister of Psychic Power immediately said: "You don't need to think about it to know what's going to happen next, right?"
"I think so too, and the historical records recorded by this clerk should also be lost, otherwise there is no reason to use his records, which can be regarded as diaries, as historical documents."
And this also shows how serious the crisis the Shining Civilization has encountered.
"He said he was a clerk in the Border Star Territory, right?"
Before Chen Ming could respond, the minister continued directly: "There are problems in the core areas, so it is his turn to do this."
"But I have never seen any war in history where a foreign invasion started from the core."
"What Shining Civilization encountered should not be an external enemy, but an internal rebellion."
"Yes."
Chen Ming simply responded and motioned for the minister to continue reading.
[On July 23, Shining Year 7178, I still don’t have much information, but from the conversations between the team leader and the minister in the unit, it seems that the situation on the front line is really bad to the extreme. 】
[More than 50% of the entire Shining Star Territory has been occupied by the enemy. They were still discussing the enemy-occupied area, but I was discovered and driven away before I could finish listening. 】
[The higher-ups seem to be hiding a lot of things from lower-level people like us. I still can’t even determine how many enemies there are on the front lines. 】
【Definitely no less. 】
The time of this blog is more than thirty days apart from the previous one.
In fact, there are some records in the intervening period, but they are all daily nonsense, and they are all complaints.
Complain about God, complain about your superiors, complain about the mechanical clan, complain about why you took on this job.
However, there seems to be no complaints about his own life between the lines.
The logs of these complaints were semi-hidden records in the documents of Shining Civilization, so Chen Ming directly skipped them and turned directly to the record of the clerk talking about war-related matters.
"In three years, half of the Shining Civilization was occupied. The scale of this rebellion is quite big."
The psychic minister said something and continued reading.
[On February 2, Shining Year 7179, we were attacked. 】
[I originally thought the war was still far away from me, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon. 】
[The team leader is dead. Death is ugly. He dragged half of his body and asked us to evacuate underground. 】
[The minister was crippled and was dragged underground by me and another clerk. He barely managed to recover half of his life. 】
[Everyone else seems to be dead. 】
[After all, this building collapsed, so the four of us were lucky enough to be outside and not buried directly. You can also take the opportunity to run away. 】
[There is only one question in my mind at this time, where is the Queen? 】
"The clerical officer must have been in the safe rear at the beginning. Although he may have changed his location, he must have been near the border.
"It has only been more than 4 months since it affected him. The enemies of Shining Civilization are progressing a little too quickly."
"What about the empress of shining civilization?"
Chen Ming still did not answer the question, but just said: "You will know after reading it."
[On April 44, Shining Year 7179, I recovered from my injuries. Only when I started taking up this job did I realize how troublesome this job was. 】
[What I was doing was just scrap work, but the team leader died. I became the team leader. I was exposed to a lot of information that I had no access to before, and I also had to take on a lot of responsibilities that I didn’t need to bear before. 】
[In the first few days when I first became a team leader, I saw the information that I couldn’t see before, which really made me have the nightmare of my life. 】
[I’m really tired, but there’s nothing I can do about it. 】
[The enemy penetrates into every aspect of us, making this war difficult to handle from the root. 】
[And their methods are extremely cruel. I really can't understand why they are like this. 】
[Who can I ask? You can only forget these things if you immerse yourself completely in your work. 】
The Minister of Psychics already had suspicions at this time, but he was not sure yet.
[On June 33, Shining Year 7179, the minister died. As a sequelae of the last time, a new minister came, and I took the position of deputy minister. 】
[I was promoted so quickly during the war, but I couldn’t be happy at all. 】
[Not only because I will die, but also because of the news about the Queen. 】
[The Queen said she was going into hibernation and would no longer be able to take care of the Empire. 】
[At this time, the Queen...]
[I really want to say something, but I dare not. 】
"Hibernation? Only the strongest psyker of the Shining Civilization can be the ruler, right? Is one of the strongest psykers dormant at this time?"
"Mailing yourself by fighting their enemies?"
Chen Ming spread his hands and said: "As far as I know, the Queen of Shining Civilization never seems to appear on the battlefield, and no one knows the reason for her dormancy."
"What..."
[On January 1, Shining Year 7180, in the new year, the Queen was confirmed to have disappeared, but a successor to the Queen emerged, and the remaining resistance forces were under his leadership. 】
[He said he found a powerful means to deal with this war. 】
[I am not a psychic. I don’t know if what he said is true or false. I hope it is true. 】
[In this way, at least our historical record is not simply about being beaten unilaterally, but at least we can have some resistance. 】
The minister quickly skipped this record and looked at the next paragraph.
[January 3, Shining Year 7180, the Queen’s successor is really capable! 】
[He really succeeded in containing the enemy's attack. A large amount of flesh and blood tissue appeared out of thin air on each enemy's body. Although it was disgusting, it was effective. 】
[As a result, the main weapon we are currently using is not easy to use on the battlefield, and I don’t know if the successor can handle it alone. 】
[Others seem to have known about this power for a long time. They are not surprised, they are worried. 】
"Is this the scarlet power?"
"Yes, only Scarlet's power can achieve such an effect."
"But I heard that the Shining Civilization is very resistant to the scarlet power."
"Who did you listen to?"
"Brainwashing psykers."
"..."
The minister seemed to have expected something when he heard this.
[On February 12, Shining Year 7180, the situation is improving. 】
[On April 9, Shining Year 7180, the successor never came back in the process of gaining stronger power. The base area that had been recaptured was once again captured by the machine race. 】
[The machine race gave up that place soon after, but none of the troops we sent out to reoccupy that place came back alive. 】
[There was no response from the teams before and after. Later I heard that the situation over there was only a blood red color when scanned from a long distance. 】
[No one paid attention to it after that, and no one wanted to know what happened there. 】
The Minister of Psychic Energy's expression became more solemn and he said: "Dimensional infection."
"Yes." Chen Ming knew more than the minister and could probably guess what happened in the past.
As the successor of the Queen, the Shining Civilization at that time should be the strongest psyker besides the Queen. Of course, it was impossible to watch the Shining Civilization decline.
He can only choose to use the most extreme means to save Shining.
Rely on Scarlet, master Scarlet.
But Scarlet's power is extremely dangerous, even Chen Ming almost died several times.
This psyker was either killed by Crimson, or encountered a Crimson creature that belonged to him. In short, he died in the Crimson Dimension.
The remaining scarlet will naturally be left unmanaged and will naturally expand.
The final outcome...who knows what it will be like.
At least the normal universe has not been destroyed yet, which means that those scarlets have been disposed of after all.
[On June 11, Shining Year 7180, I am now not only the minister of the Ministry of History and Culture, the entire Ministry of Culture... should now be called the Ministry of Civilization. 】
[The people in the Ministry of Civilization have been replaced one after another, and they have escaped again and again with the large army. I don’t know how many people have died. I am now the oldest one here. 】
[But it doesn’t matter, the products we designed personally sent us into the abyss. 】
[Queens and monarchies have become a thing of the past, civilization has completely collapsed, and we must find another way out. 】
"As expected...it's a machine race."
Chen Ming confirmed: "The mechanical race of Shining Civilization has a very high level of development. Almost all the sites of Shining Civilization have mechanical races, spread in different places."
"The rebellion will happen suddenly, and the final scale will of course be huge. The machine race will send their creator to hell with his own hands."
"If Yu Hui had not rebelled, but had endured, we might have had the same ending."
"Remember what I just said, the scarlet power makes Shining unable to use weapons? Their biological weapons are actually the Thorn Zerg."
"Is there such a thing?"
"There is such a thing."
[On June 13, Shining Year 7180, the entire team was semi-paralyzed for several days. I finally had two days free to check historical documents. 】
[A wormhole leading to a distant star field,]
[The war started in the middle of development preparations. There might be an opportunity there. 】
[I have reported this news to the individuals responsible for fighting the war, and there should be a reply tomorrow. 】
[On June 14, Shining Year 7180, the report I handed in gave many people renewed fighting spirit and they all checked the history of their respective departments. 】
[Although our military strength is almost the same, we also discovered a Guardian plan from the early stage of the war. Although it was not implemented, maybe we can try it. 】
"Leviathan?"
"Yes."
[On July 29, Shining Year 7180, many people were sacrificed, but it was worth it. 】
[We have the power to temporarily compete with the enemy. We summoned a fleet to evacuate the last piece of our homeland, passed through the wormhole, and came to a new world. 】
[The estimated population is only over a billion. 】
【From one trillion to one billion...】
[On February 45, Shining Year 7181, the enemy also discovered the wormhole. It was expected, but we no longer have the power to fight them. 】
[The Guardians have suffered heavy losses during our evacuation. 】
[Someone came up with an idea that we might be able to try. 】
[On June 6, Shining Year 7181, the experiment of converting stars into black holes and luring black hole creatures to appear was successful. This is good news. We no longer have to use our lives to protect wormholes. 】
[But there is bad news. 】
[There is a problem with our reproductive capabilities. 】
[It is not a sequelae of war, but a special genetic virus. 】
[There is not a single one of the billions of people left who is not infected with this virus. 】
[The Queen's successor has warned us before that cloning technology must not be used to expand the population. 】
[We have worked hard for so long, is this the end? 】
After the end of this diary, there was no new diary for a long time.
Until five years later.
[On January 1, Shining Year 7186, we made a great decision. 】
[We have decided to record all the consciousness of everyone and upload it to the Internet, and at the same time provide all people with a nano-mechanized body. 】
[We went through lengthy discussions and technical research before finally deciding to do this. 】
[This is the most efficient way for us to continue to exist. 】
The minister's expression suddenly changed and asked: "Did you tell me before that the urban planet was originally filled with broken nanorobots that were as long as sand?"
"Yes."
"Then..."
"Same as you thought."
Some of those yellow sand-like nanorobots are the nanorobots that make up the urban planet.
But there may also be countless corpses of shining civilized people inside.
"This..."
"It was quite scary when I first found out, but it doesn't matter anymore. I can't even repair my psychic powers. Those people of shining civilization are completely dead. The most I can do is recycle the materials."
"Well..."
[On March 13, Shining Year 7187, after 553 days, everyone’s consciousness has been successfully uploaded, and we have completely entered the era of nanotechnology. 】
[Our ideal city has also begun construction. We want to build a planet that contains everything that shines. 】
[Its official scientific name is Urban Planet, but we are all willing to call it Ideal City. 】
[He is the spark of hope for the revival of shining civilization, not the queen’s shining civilization, but the shining civilization of our survivors. 】
In between, there is another long blank space.
This time it's not because the clerk is being chased around by the machine race, but because as one of the top leaders of the current shining civilization, he really doesn't have the free space to record these things.
[May 23, Shining Year 7196, "Merge the world into one city, and cast one city into the world." 】
In nine years, the construction of the ideal city was completed.
But just after this record of the completion of the construction of the ideal city.
The log suddenly stops.
Only the last words were recorded.
【traitor. 】
The diary ends here, but the history of shining civilization does not end there.
It is obvious that the situation has become clear, and the survivors are the betrayers of the survivors of the Shining Civilization.
The survivors are exactly what the Queen left behind.
Not all the survivors were wiped out. Some of them still escaped from Ideal City and went to the place where Chen Ming discovered the Shining Cultural Memorial Hall and built that building.
This is the past of shining civilization.
History is being rediscovered today.
It can be said that the Shining Civilization was destroyed by the twin disasters of the Scarlet Invasion and the Mechanical Rebellion.
Scarlet, Chen Ming can now suppress it. Although there is no way to completely deal with it, as long as he is alive and exists in the empire for one day, Scarlet will not be able to invade the empire.
But the mechanical family...
That is indeed a huge trouble.
Moreover, the empire has to face one more survivor who can now be called a natural disaster.
Although what Chen Ming said before was quite crazy, he knew that the power of the queen was indeed extremely powerful.
He must prepare for it.
In the entire empire, he is probably the only one who can compete with the Queen.
After letting the minister digest it for a while, Chen Ming suggested: "Go back first."
"Although the space station escaped for them, as long as he is here, it is equivalent to leaving the space station behind. All the information that should be there can be recorded by a specialized person later."
The minister asked with some confusion: "Who?"
Many nanorobots appeared around Chen Ming, gathering together to form a human-shaped structure.
"Nami, the one the survivor talked to us about."
"..."
"But this nanometer is only half, and half of the nanometer is still with the survivors."
"But the people over there don't know what I've done, and they will definitely keep hiding."
The minister nodded: "It seems that the matter of the survivors can come to an end."
A few hours later.
Gaia planet, Gaia orbital space station.
There was a young man sitting a little restlessly on the sofa in Tian Chuang's office, shivering, looking outside the office from time to time, his expression extremely nervous.
At this moment, Lao Yao, who was arranged by Chen Ming to pay more attention to Tian Xuan's physical condition some time ago, ran in and asked Tian Xuan behind the desk: "Old Tian, don't you go and take a look?"
< br>
He pointed outside as he spoke, and saw a group of people outside gathering at the edge of the space station, observing the urban planet that appeared near the orbit of Gaia through the portholes of the space station.
Tian Xian shook his head and said: "I have already seen it, it is quite shocking."
"Yeah, for a few hours, there was an extra ball beside me for no reason. No one was confused when looking at it. And it wasn't just the ball, there were also the corpses of those Leviathans."
"Director Wang next door made a bet. The director killed a few Leviathans where we couldn't see. When will those Leviathan space stations be built? Are you interested?"
Tian Xian shook his head again and said: "No, I have to pick up my daughter from school later."
"Oh, it's just for fun. I saw that he had more than a hundred of them there. I just threw five dollars in and had fun."
The young man next to him suddenly had the courage to ask: "That...Team Leader Tian...are you not afraid?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
"The canopy outside has been removed, which means the matter is over."
Lao Yao patted him on the shoulder and said: "Yes, yes, the young man is not very courageous. He needs to go out more and run around more to see more."
Tian Zhang suddenly raised his hand to signal Lao Yao to check his voice, and then answered the phone.
The call came from one of his men sent out to search for plants in other galaxies.
"Captain Tian, please help. The spaceship we launched was shot down and the space station was bombed. Only the shelter is safe, but it won't be safe for long."
"What's going on?"
"It's a mechanical race."
