Chapter 35: Planet Nemesis and Mechanical Ascension
While talking, Xie Shen’s spaceship has slowly docked near the Europa Space Station.
The reason why we use 'docking' instead of 'docking' is because at this time, the power system of the Europa Space Station has been completely paralyzed.
Not to mention docking with the spacecraft, even the internal lighting and oxygen supply systems have stopped functioning.
Looking around, the entire space station was pitch black.
In the cockpit of the spaceship.
While wearing a pressure suit, Xie Shen asked the man in a suit: "This space station doesn't look much smaller than our Tiangong. Why was it suddenly destroyed?"
Suit The man said: "Based on the information released by the top management, it is initially judged that the destruction was probably caused by a leak in the laboratory."
"Lab leak?" Xie Shen asked in confusion upon hearing this.
The man in the suit popularized science: "Europa, Tiangong, and the three major space stations in Paradise all have different strategies for targeting the tower prison."
“For example, our Tiangong Space Station.”
“Our senior management is relatively conservative.”
“The strategy formulated is to vigorously develop science and technology, expand the habitable area of the space station, and further Increase population."
“When we are strong enough, we will then consider counterattacking the tower prison.”
“Don’t say it yet.” Xie Shen took over the words and said: “This steady and steady approach, It is indeed in line with the Chinese style.”
"Yeah." The man in the suit followed: "But there are also radicals in our space station."
"For example, our separation meeting."
"Oh, I won't say more. "
"Let's talk about Chat Hall again." The man in the suit continued: "Compared to our Tiangong, the Paradise Space Station is much more radical."
"They have it over there. Many parties will then take turns to become leaders through the electoral system.”
“In order to attract more votes, those parties often make various promises.”
“Just give me an example.”
“One party has made a promise : After taking office, all resources will be mobilized to develop the 'Planet Buster' missile. "
"That thing is very powerful. It only takes a dozen rounds to completely destroy the earth."
"In this way, Tower Prison will naturally cease to exist."
Ah this
After hearing this, Xie Shen was shocked and said: "Isn't this method a bit too radical? If the earth is really gone, then where will we humans live?"
"We will always live in outer space. "Yeah." The man in the suit replied: "And don't tell me, there were quite a lot of people who supported this method at the time."
"Most of those who supported it had been in Tower Prison for hundreds of years. , even people who have lived for thousands of years.”
“So it’s normal to be a little extreme.”
"Let's talk about Europa."
The man in the suit returned to the truth and preached: "The top management of this space station is neither radical nor intends to live alone and develop."
"That's what they want."
"Uh"
The man in the suit thought for a moment and then said: "How should I put it, it feels like a bit of escape."
"They have proposed a plan called 'Mechanical Ascension'."
"It is to upload everyone's consciousness to the server, and then rely on solar energy to maintain operation."
"This plan Once successful, all human beings will be able to achieve immortality in the true sense."
"Since they will not die, they will no longer be imprisoned in the tower prison."
"So in theory, this plan can be regarded as one of the effective means to fight against the tower prison."
The man in the suit continued: "Then in order to realize the 'mechanical ascension' plan, the Europa Space Station began to vigorously develop biotechnology and built many biological laboratories for this purpose."
Xie Shen followed the man in the suit and said: "So this time it was destroyed because the biological laboratory was leaked?" "Yeah."
The man in the suit responded: "I estimate that the top management keeps sending modified people there just to You can get the biotechnology from Europa.” Got it? ”
"Not bad." The man in the suit admitted: "Then we separated and tried to send a reformer over."
"But not long after arriving, the man died."
< br>“So, I can only rely on you now.”
On the Europa Space Station parking platform.
While the man in the suit was explaining the ins and outs, Xie Shen finally put on the pressure suit and carefully walked out of the spacecraft.
The entrance to the parking platform is a long and narrow passage.
——Due to the paralysis of the power system, at first glance, the narrow passage was completely dark.
Using the searchlight, Xie Shen discovered several corpses lying at the end of the passage.
He immediately looked wary and said: "There are several corpses in front of me, and those corpses still have white fleshy balls, which look like hearts and are beating constantly."
"Don't worry, it's safe." The man in a suit said to Xie Shen: "Those white flesh balls are called 'macrophages'. As for where they came from, I don't know. Anyway, human corpses have been left in space for a long time. Basically, Everyone has this kind of thing, just ignore it.”
After hearing this, Xie Shen suppressed his nausea and continued to explore deeper.
Repeat this for more than a hundred steps.
In the darkness, Xie Shen suddenly heard a wailing sound in the distance, so he immediately turned off the strong searchlight above his head.
Listening to the voice, the man seemed to be asking for help in English.
Xie Shen’s English is half-assed.
In order to figure out what the other party was talking about, he decisively put his hand on the headset and quickly switched to pickup mode.
A few seconds later, the man in a suit who also heard the cry for help said: "That man is saying: He heard your footsteps and asked you to stop hiding and hurry up and save him."
? ?
Xie Shen frowned and said: "He is lying. I deliberately kept my voice down when I first walked, so how could he hear the footsteps?"
"Then don't be in a hurry. Go over there." The man in the suit suggested: "Get a little closer and use the searchlight to take a look and see what's going on."
Reasonable.
Xie Shen turned on the searchlight above his head and moved slightly closer to the source of the sound.
‘Boom’!
I don’t know why.
The moment he got closer, Xie Shen felt a powerful impact exploding from his mind.
He was shaken by the impact and fell to the ground on the spot.
"What happened?" The man in a suit who heard the noise hurriedly asked: "Did you just fall?"
"Yes." Xie Shen said solemnly: "I just fell. "I felt a mental shock."
"To put it simply, someone is attacking my soul."
"I just want to know." Xie Shen asked the man in the suit: "With the current technology, Is there any weapon that can do this? ”
"Unheard of!"
The man in the suit said: "Scientists can't even confirm whether the soul exists, so how can we have the kind of weapon you mentioned."
"Then That's interesting." Xie Shen stood up from the ground.
In broken English, he shouted into the darkness: "Friend, since we are comrades, is it necessary to hide when we meet?"
"Are you Chinese?"< br>
Xie Shen's half-baked English proficiency is so discerning.
The other party guessed the details just after hearing it, so he asked in Chinese: "You just said that we are 'comrades', what do you mean?"
