Origin of Mars

Chapter 121 The Nightmare Appears
"what"

At four o'clock in the morning, Lin Lu suddenly woke up from his sleep, panting heavily, with sweat dripping from his forehead, and looked around with bewildered eyes.

This is STH's temporary dormitory, where he stayed for a long time. There is only a simple wooden bed, and some necessary furniture and equipment. Outside the half-closed window is a clear night sky, and stars that are hard to see on weekdays Today it was unexpectedly reflected in the sky, and the faint light made Lin Lu a little dazed.

He couldn't remember how many times this was the first time he woke up from his dream.

He suddenly had a nightmare, dreaming that the solar system was invaded by an unknown civilization. Countless interstellar warships passed by in the deep universe, sweeping down the bright pulse, and the blue star burst like a bubble. Regardless of the ability to resist, Lin Lu saw in his dream that the lasers piercing through the clouds destroyed the cities, and the running people disappeared silently under these lasers like melted butter.

But Lin Lu could only watch all this happen, without any countermeasures.

It was this feeling of desperation that forced him to wake up from his dream. The clothes behind his back were soaked in sweat, his mouth and tongue were dry, and he hurriedly got up to find water to drink.

Since the last time he met Serena, Lin Lu's originally determined train of thought suddenly changed slightly.

He began to think about the future of Blue Star. In front of civilizations with powerful technologies, human beings are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. All the proud weapons and technologies are as funny as jokes.

This is what makes Lin Lu feel the most uncomfortable. All his efforts seem to have turned into bubbles. He suddenly can't see the direction to move forward and the motivation to work hard. He is just working in a daze without any sense of accomplishment.

The blockage in his heart caused Lin Lu to get up on the bed, put on his coat, sit on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, and suddenly had a sudden idea.

Lin Lu tiptoed through the silent corridor. Many scholars lived in this floor, including his respected teacher Yu Han. Lin Lu stared at the empty corridor, feeling a little lonely in his heart.

He finally understood the meaning of the lines written by some ancient people.

It's sorrow to keep cutting, and the reason is chaotic.

It's just that the sorrow of parting in the poem just refers to Lin Lu's feelings of intention but powerlessness.

Why doesn't he want to use his own power to help the entire Blue Star? It's just that Lin Lu's power seems so small in front of the huge universe. The knowledge and insights he has always been proud of have long since lost most of their effectiveness. In front of him, he was as clumsy as a primitive man holding a stick.

The huge sense of gap is what makes Lin Lu feel desperate.

He walked through the stairs, and walked to the roof of this huge building. When he stepped on the rough ground, Lin Lu felt a gust of evening wind coming from the pavement, and rushed towards his face with a cold feeling. However, this cold wind made Lin Lu's dizzy mind gradually sober up.

He found a step and sat down, took out the specially customized mobile phone in his pocket, the light from the screen illuminated Lin Lu's face, a pair of dull eyes had already lost the usual enthusiasm and motivation, under the cover of the night Appeared more hesitant and helpless.

This mobile phone only has the function of contacting some numbers, it does not have a dial key, and these numbers can only be stored in advance in the original setting. Lin Lu looked around, and the first one was naturally his parents' number.

But far away, even though it was night, in Huaguo, it was still around five o'clock in the afternoon.

The exhausted Lin Lu grabbed his hair tightly, and the fingers that he wanted to press down suddenly froze in mid-air.

He suddenly didn't know what to say, even if the phone was connected, Lin Lu would only report good news but not bad news.

According to regulations, every member of the STH needs to go through a report before talking to their family members, and the content of the conversation will even be monitored. This is a necessary regulation.

"I still don't sleep so late"

At this moment, just as Lin Lu was struggling, a familiar voice came out from the side, which made Lin Lu tremble, stood up quickly, and responded in the direction of the voice.

"teacher?."

Yu Han's slightly stooped figure appeared in the darkness, he wrapped his thick coat tightly, sat down beside Lin Lu, and muttered:

"The wind here is colder than in Huaguo. I don't know how long I can last with this old bone."

"It's you, it's not a good habit for young people to stay up late."

"Teacher, I can't sleep. I just had a nightmare. I was so scared that I was sweating."

In front of Yu Han, Lin Lu subconsciously let go of all vigilance, his tense body gradually relaxed, as if he was lying on a stone platform.

Be a teacher for a day and be a father for life. This word is exactly the same for Lin Lu and Yu Han.

Yu Han has never had any children so far, and he is alone. He has devoted almost all his efforts to Lin Lu, and the latter has not disappointed Yu Han. He is only in his early twenties, and he has already won various awards in the field of international scientific research. , The professionalism of the published papers has even surpassed some scholars and professors who have been immersed for many years.

Lin Lu's future is immeasurable, and Yu Han recognizes this.

It's just that the world has changed so much that people can't react at all. In a blink of an eye, the familiar things seem to have completely changed their direction. The original plan needs to be redesigned. The most important point is that young scholars with excellent talents like Lin Lu , I have to devote all my time to the country, and even the entire crumbling world.

This seems to have become a fact recognized by everyone. Under the conditions of the universe as the background, the life course of every human being is a very short scene, just like a flash of light. Seconds, there may be countless stars collapsing. When the sun consumes all the hydrogen elements, its core will enter the contraction stage, the temperature and pressure of the core will rise again, and the original beautiful structure will be unpredictable. The entire solar system may undergo huge changes for this.

"Had a nightmare?"

Yu Han sat down beside Lin Lu, and looked at him calmly: "Tell me?"

"I dreamed that Blue Star was completely captured by an alien civilization."

Lin Lu smiled bitterly and sighed: "All human beings melted under the attack of alien spaceships, and the weapons and equipment we are proud of are like children's toys in front of them, fragile and fragile. This is no longer enough to fill the gap. The gap has fallen."

"I also had this dream of yours."

Yu Han suddenly took out a cigarette case from his pocket, and placed one skillfully on it. Amidst the smoke, he let out a long breath like a sigh, and looked at the sky with deep eyes: "If the so-called Ka Suo Gavin has entered the solar system, and what we are about to face may be exactly the scene in your dream."

"I see."

"Did you bring your cell phone?"

".Take it."

Lin Lu hesitated for a few seconds before replying.

"Shut down."

Yu Han took another deep breath and said.

The originally bright mobile phone screen went out with beeps, Yu Han's face finally eased, he was really immersed in the night, sitting beside him was his favorite student, and his whole body entered an unprecedented state of relaxation .

"Teacher, you still don't believe them. Do you?"

In the silence, Lin Lu hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.

"It's not that we don't believe it, it's that we don't have the ability to distinguish the true from the false."

Yu Han took a deep look at Lin Lu: "It's inevitable that I don't believe it. Deep down in my heart, I still can't trust civilized creatures of different races."

After turning off the mobile phone completely, the two no longer have to worry about their conversation being monitored. There is no monitoring equipment within the range of this rooftop. From a certain point of view, Lin Lu unexpectedly found a piece of pure land , On this pure land, they can speak freely without worrying about the consequences.

"Although Mr. Alpha has helped us a lot, they have saved our city and innocent residents."

Yu Han continued: "But what does all this mean to them? Or what does every human being mean to them?"

A few words froze on Yu Han's mouth, he didn't want to make these words clear, so as not to touch Lin Lu's nerves that were not calm in the first place.

He would not believe that in the face of such a powerful civilization, they would truly regard every human being as an individual worth saving. Yu Han couldn't think clearly about the deep meaning of it, but felt that this Martian civilization might have other ideas. Blue Star's current level cannot pry into the mysteries of this level.

"Teacher, what you mean is that all these are just illusions, and they have further plans."

Lin Lu thought for a while and replied.

"This is a rather extreme idea. We can't deny their help to Blue Star, but we still have to be vigilant. Although we don't have any capital to doubt, I think that if all human beings become an experiment of alien civilization tool, what a horrible outcome this will be."

Yu Han said quietly, with the cold wind blowing through, Lin Lu's body shivered slightly.

Yes, according to Lin Lu's own thinking, if this Martian civilization helps Blue Star step by step, it is equivalent to forming a subsidiary relationship between the two. Lin Lu does not resist the birth of this relationship, and can To be a partner of a powerful civilization is something he could only wish for.

But if this relationship is slightly reversed and Lin Lu becomes an experimental product of this Martian civilization, it is as cheap as a guinea pig. Lin Lu believes that not only him, but most human beings will not agree with this relationship.

"In your opinion, what is the relationship between this Martian civilization and the more powerful Kassog civilization?"

In the silence, Yu Han suddenly turned to look at Lin Lu and asked.

"The Kassog civilization obviously has more advanced technology, but the development speed of this Martian civilization is too fast. Within a few days of our departure, their interstellar warships have appeared within the scope of the solar system."

Lin Lu thought for a while before answering Yu Han's question.

After they came back, Ding Hai and others reported the images captured by the survey satellite to Yu Han.

In the video, when Yu Han saw the shocking interstellar warship appearing in the universe, he even froze in place. Since the establishment of STH, this may be the most outrageous scene Yu Han has seen.

How long did this Martian civilization take?

It may not even be half a year, and they have already reached the level of the universe by collecting Martian resources from an inconspicuous small base.

If it is said that this Martian civilization has no ambitions, Yu Han will not believe it anyway.

Judging from all signs, this Martian civilization may not belong to the solar system at all.

In Yu Han's mind, there should be some kind of ulterior secret between this Martian civilization and the Kassog civilization.

Or hostile, or even hunted down, in the universe, the law of the jungle is already a criterion that can be concluded. Every planet with perfect conditions will be contested. Sufficient ore materials, suitable living temperature, or sufficient Mineral resources, for a powerful civilization, it undoubtedly only takes the time of moving fingers to get this planet, why not do it?

"Not just one ship."

Yu Han looked at the sky and said: "According to estimates, that huge construction factory should be able to support the manufacture of nearly five interstellar warships in the same batch."

"Is using the resources of Mars enough for them to develop this batch of interstellar fleets?"

"That's the most critical question."

Yu Han shook his head helplessly: "The volume of Mars is fully half smaller than that of Blue Star. Although its proportion of minerals is very high, it will still be fully developed in a certain period of time in the future and become a useless empty shell."

"At that time, in the solar system, how many planets are worthy of their attention? Venus? Saturn? Or the blue star under our feet?"

Yu Han's words made Lin Lu a little overwhelmed. He suddenly didn't know what to say. Yu Han's words contained a kind of sadness that couldn't be concealed. Perhaps this question will be answered soon, but at that time, Lin Lu didn't know if he still had a chance to get the answer.

"The saddest thing is that we don't have the ability to dominate the planet under our feet. We are too weak."

Yu Han sighed, the cigarette by his mouth had finally reached the end of its life, only a short cigarette holder was left, with faintly flickering light spots looming in the darkness.

"The only way to improve is to make desperate efforts and race against time. We may still have a chance."

Lin Lu has never been a pessimist, but in Yu Han's words, he can hear the deep helplessness and hesitation.

"Or we should really always trust Mr. Alpha, and believe that they can lead us to a new height, and at that level, we can see the true mystery of the universe."

"Should we really trust them?"

"From the current point of view, this has already been recognized by the joint organization."

Yu Han threw the cigarette holder on the ground, crushed it a few times with his feet, wrapped himself in his coat, and walked towards the stairs without looking back.

"It's getting late, time to go back to bed, boy."

"If you have a nightmare, take some melatonin, good night."
