Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 905 The source of all things
The first thing to change is the earth. Almost in the blink of an eye, this blue planet has changed beyond recognition.

Obviously, it is still the earth, but it is not the earth that Yang Yi saw in the photo, but a planet whose ecological environment has been severely damaged and is almost completely urbanized.On this planet, which is not considered big at all, there are hundreds of billions of inhabitants, not only on the surface of the planet, but also in the orbit of the planet.The planet's own resources have long been exhausted, and humans have focused on other nearby planets, including the Earth's satellite moon, two adjacent terrestrial planets, and even the satellites of several giant planets, and established colonies on these planets.However, compared with the survival needs of trillions of people, the resources are really pitifully scarce, and human beings can only continue to expand outward.

The planetary ring in the geosynchronous orbit is not only a huge space city, but also a base for the advancement of mankind.

Every day, tens of thousands of spaceships depart from the planetary rings and fly to various colonies distributed in the solar system, and almost the same number of spaceships return from each colony.In addition to these transport spacecraft, there are also a large number of expedition spacecraft that leave or return irregularly.It's just that the departing spacecraft far outnumbered the returning spacecraft, and almost every returning spacecraft was devastated, and some were even severely damaged.

At that time, space exploration was the industry with the highest death rate.However, the return is also the highest.

Although one out of every ten expedition spaceships may not return safely, and even less than one in a thousand can return with a full load, as long as there is something to be gained, even if it is only a celestial body made entirely of rocks, as long as the mass is large enough, it can It can make explorers get rich overnight.If what is found is a celestial body composed of heavy elements, or an ice comet, even if its orbit is only determined, the wealth in exchange is enough for the enemy.During the last few hundred years of the First Era, it was the incredible payoffs that made space exploration the most sought-after profession.At that time, the ideal of many people was to become an aerospace explorer, and all they dreamed were dreams of getting rich overnight.

At this time, an expedition spaceship without any characteristics appeared beside Yang Yi.

Like other expedition spacecraft, after taking off, this expedition spacecraft first went to the first Lagrangian point, using the gravitational force of the earth and the moon to accelerate in order to save fuel.After that, follow the gravitational route, that is, make full use of the gravitational force of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, fly to the outermost layer of the solar system, and go there to find valuable celestial bodies, to be precise, large meteorites.

After hundreds of years of development, the large celestial bodies in the outer solar system, namely dwarf planets, asteroids and comets, have long been developed and utilized by humans, even those celestial bodies with a diameter of more than one kilometer are no different.The ones that have not been developed or discovered are all small celestial bodies with a diameter of about 100 meters.As long as one can find such a celestial body, and the luck is not too bad, and there are some resources worth developing on it, such as heavy elements, it can ensure that the expedition will not lose money.If luck is better, such as an ice comet, then as long as this celestial body is brought back to the earth, just the water brought back is enough to make the explorer a rich man.

Of course, the vast majority of explorers lost their money and even lost their lives.

The key point is that, limited by aerospace technology, even the most advanced exploration spacecraft at that time would take ten years or even 20 years to conduct an expedition to the outer space of the solar system.During this period, the consumption of just the explorer himself was enormous.Typically, an expedition ship has two explorers in a close relationship, either as a partner, father and son, or brother and sister.If you get nothing during the 20- to [-]-year expedition, even if you come back alive, you will face a debt-collecting bank, and then become a pauper, and finally meet the end of your life in poverty.As such, many explorers would rather take the risk than return empty-handed.Besides, in order to avoid creditors, some failed explorers will flee to some extralegal place, such as a remote colony.The result is that among every thousand explorers, there may not even be one who can really return home.

Of course, Yang Yi's grandfather and grandmother are not listed here.

After a long voyage, the expedition spacecraft flew past the orbit of Pluto a few years later and entered the outermost Oort cloud of the solar system.

For explorers, this is as much a place of treasure as it is a cemetery.

Entering the Oort Cloud marks the official start of the expedition.

However, there is no passion at all.

In fact, space exploration is an extremely boring thing, because after a long voyage that lasts for several years, what awaits the explorer may be another period of exploration that lasts for several years, or even more than ten years, and then another period of exploration that lasts for several years. year's return phase.For almost 20 years, most of the time they were doing nothing. All the explorers had to do was stare at the surroundings, re-plan the route based on findings, or signs, or even personal speculation, and then continue the search.If you are lucky, you will gain, but if you are not lucky, you will do nothing.In order to save costs and reduce costs, many expedition spacecraft only have basic survival facilities and are not equipped with additional entertainment equipment.In fact, this is also the key to why the expedition spacecraft must carry at least two explorers, and the relationship between the explorers is relatively close.Human beings are social animals, and it is difficult to survive after leaving society, and society itself is the relationship between people, and two people are the smallest social unit.

The scene quickly closes in as the gigantic object appears, and two people appear, both in clunky-looking spacesuits.

It was not an object, but a spaceship with a strange shape and a dark body.

The two explorers did not board the spacecraft, but just flew around the spacecraft, and then returned to the expedition spacecraft.

At this time, Yang Yi also entered the expedition spacecraft.

Two explorers have taken off their space suits, one of them is Yang Yi's grandfather, and he looks like a young man, and the other explorer is a beautiful woman.

grandmother?

Yang Yi has seen a photo of grandma, but only once, and it is an old photo.Obviously, Yang Yi didn't expect that grandma was a beautiful woman when she was young.

The two had a dispute, and it was very violent.

As Yang Yi knew, Grandpa thought the spaceship was too weird and felt that he should leave immediately without causing trouble for himself, while Grandma didn't want to make the trip in vain, because they had already used up more than half of the time, and the rest The supplies allow them to search for another three years at most, and then they have to return. In the next three years, the probability of finding valuable celestial objects is extremely slim.If they leave empty-handed, they lose everything.

After arguing for a while, probably because both of them were tired from the quarrel, they stopped, and then they left separately.

Seeing this scene, Yang Yi couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"Obviously, you already know what's coming."

The sudden sound startled Yang Yi, and when he turned around, he found a middle-aged man standing behind him.

He is a dazzlingly handsome man.

Although it can be seen that his age is definitely not young, but his appearance is very handsome, so perfect that he does not look like a living person of flesh and blood.

"You are……"

"What happened next is the origin, or the cause of everything that happened later."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then sighed again.

Of course he knew that after the quarrel, Grandma left the expedition ship, went to the mysterious ship alone, and found out that she was pregnant shortly after returning.

"The fact that you came here and you know this shows that you have an extraordinary relationship with Yang Feng. If I'm not mistaken, he is your grandfather."

Yang Yi forced a smile and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are his son, to be precise, an intelligent program with his son's memory."

"That's right, but Yang Feng is not my father, at most he can only be regarded as my adoptive father."

Yang Yi didn't deny it, after all, it was a fact.

"It's just that they know too little."

"is it?"

"Besides, you don't know enough."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but then he realized that in this place, his consciousness has no secrets, so what he knows is not secrets either.

"As you guessed, this is a spaceship left by the creator. So, why did the creator leave this spaceship?"

"Why?" Yang Yi simply asked directly, so as not to beat around the bush.

"Obviously, the Creator left the spaceship here in the hope that it could be found and used by humans someday. The question is, if the Creator wanted to help mankind, why didn't the Creator leave the spaceship somewhere where it would be easier to find? Where?" The man smiled and said, "Of course, you have already guessed it. The creators don't want humans to discover this spaceship prematurely, and they don't want humans to cross that red line too early. In addition, if human technology is not enough Developed, even if this spaceship is found, it may not be able to use it. Before that, the creator had tried, but the result was very bad. So the creator left this spaceship at the edge of the solar system..."

"What to try?"

The man didn't say much, just waved his hand lightly.

The surrounding scene changed accordingly, and Yang Yi found himself back on the ground, to be precise, on the earth, and it was the earth in ancient times.

"This……"

Looking at the desert in the distance and the pyramids standing in the desert, Yang Yi was dumbfounded.

"Ancient Egypt, an ancient civilization of mankind, existed in the early First Era."

"You mean..."

"You have already figured it out. So many pyramids were built in ancient Egypt, not for the pharaoh, but for the ruler above the pharaoh, who was the creator who came to the earth at that time. It's a pity that the technology at that time was so backward that it didn't even have the same Science has nothing to do with it, so the help of the creator has not brought obvious results. Thousands of years later, this ancient civilization that was favored by the creator declined and perished."
