Arknights? Colonization Ark!

The man pulled out a gun from his arms and pointed it at the penguin sitting next to him.

This scene was seen by everyone

Another guy who doesn't know how to live or die, they thought.

Even the bartender remained indifferent when he saw his boss being pointed at with a weapon. Every month there are a few new people who are ignorant of the world.

But the emperor himself was different.

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him, this is not a crossbow in name only, nor is it the gun used by the Laterans. It is something much older, something that would only be equipped in their time.

His eyes narrowed slightly, making it impossible to see clearly with his already small eyes.

"Kid, I don't know where you got this thing from, but if you think it can save your life in front of me, you are very wrong."

Zhang Miao took off his hat and threw it on the bar.

"Then I'd like to know how you plan to kill me. Are you going to break me into pieces, wrap me up, and grind me into powder?"

The emperor, who wanted to say something, closed his mouth and his eyes widened when he saw the bare head opposite him after taking off his hat.

Oh my god, which old bastard has crawled out of the coffin again!

"Ahem, what are you looking at? Are you drinking your wine?"

The emperor glanced around, and when the people who originally wanted to watch the show saw him, they immediately turned around and pretended to chat enthusiastically.

Even the bartender was very surprised. His hand had already reached for the crossbow under the table, but the boss's tone suddenly changed.

The atmosphere in the entire bar suddenly became eerily quiet. The emperor looked at Zhang Miao in front of him, no longer as comfortable as before, and hesitated for a moment.

"Go and talk inside."

He jumped off the chair with a naive body and walked towards the bar with a shaky step. That was the base of Penguin Logistics. The girls were out doing business and had not returned yet, so the bar was empty.

Zhang Miao took a Longmen coin from his arms and placed it at the bottom of the cup, smiling at the bartender.

"The wine is good."

......

The base behind the bar was in a mess, with a large number of cardboard boxes filled with unknown contents piled together, just like a recycling station. There were also a lot of women's products scattered everywhere, which made Zhang Miao's eyelids twitch.

"You don't have any special hobbies, do you?"

The emperor also knew that the scene here could easily be misunderstood by outsiders.

"These aren't mine (Penguin Screams) and that's not the point, the point is where you came from, I don't have any record of you in my files!"

It would be strange if you had a record.

Looking at the two completely different reactions from Kal'tsit, Zhang Miao also felt a little dissatisfied.

I just found a stool and sat down.

"I thought you knew."

"Yeah, I think I should know, but I just don't know! Where did you come from? We should have files on everyone."

He stayed in Columbia for some time. Theoretically, the only one who could move now should be in Kazdel, and the other coffins should have become ineffective.

"If you think about it, the noise I made coming down should have been quite loud."

Down?

A lot of noise?

The two vague words made the emperor begin to recall everything that had happened in the past.

Well!!!!

"Do you remember it?"

The emperor, who remembered something, now just wanted to change the topic from this to something else. It would be terrible if it was true. Although everyone did it together, it was he who came up with the idea.

"No, nothing. I can't remember anything. Well, let's not waste time on this topic anymore. What on earth do you want to talk to me about?"

Looking at the penguin in front of him who was speaking evasively, Zhang Miao was sure that this guy must have remembered something, but the other party didn't want to say it, and Zhang Miao didn't want to continue asking these irrelevant questions.

"Everything, history, everything here, I want to know everything you know."

The emperor frowned and thought about what Zhang Miao meant, and could only shake his head.

"I can't say much. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't. You know, I don't have the permission, I don't have the password, so I can only tell you some public information."

Zhang Miao was somewhat disappointed by the emperor's answer, but it was understandable.

The moment it appeared, Zhang Miao knew what it was.

An artificial intelligence computer that is a nanomachine aggregate, and is extremely similar to Lexington, with an absurdly high level of anthropomorphism.

This is not a normal data iteration phenomenon, but I have never pursued this matter.

"Where is this place?"

Zhang Miao's first question made the emperor laugh strangely.

"Hahahaha (penguin screaming) This is Terra, where else could it be."

Seeing Zhang Miao's face gradually darkening, the emperor put away his playful nature. It would be troublesome if he pissed him off.

"Okay, okay, you're really not interesting at all. This is a planetary system located in the right spiral arm of Hercules, 127,000 light years away from the center of the galaxy. How about this answer? Are you satisfied with it?"

Hercules....

Zhang Miao remembered it as soon as he recalled it

This is a star cluster 650 million light-years away from the Milky Way...

I RNDM!!!

This distance was enough to make most of the civilizations he knew, including his hometown, despair.

How did this damn turbulence blow me here all of a sudden?

Zhang Miao gently rubbed his temples with his hands, trying to calm his agitated emotions.

After a long while, Zhang Miao continued to ask

"What happened here, and why did the previous civilization end?"

Under normal circumstances, a civilization that has set foot in the galaxy has no possibility of extinction. After all, the worst that can happen is that it abandons all planets and lets its fleet drift in the universe.

His question made the emperor silent for a moment.

"I can't tell you this, but I can tell you that there is a person in Kazdel, and you can get the answer you want from him."

"Are you talking about Kelsey?"

Hearing Zhang Miao call out this name, the emperor suddenly became very nervous.

"Have you seen that girl? Has she... Never mind, it's not her, it's another one, probably the same type as you... I guess."

similar?

There are actually still alive people!

However, Kazdel must go, but he has to deal with the Dragon Gate matter first.

"What exactly is Originium? What are the Terrans? What is the origin of the previous civilization?"

How could the same species be born across hundreds of millions of light years?

The first two questions were fine, but the third question also confused the emperor, as it was too strange.

"Originium is a research project of Precious. The specific data is classified as top secret by the previous civilization. Even my database only has a small amount of information. As for the Terrans, you'd better ask him. This is a cooperative project between him and Precious. As for the last question... I can tell you."

"I don't quite understand why you even ask this, but...the origin of the former civilization was the Phoenix Orchid, a lost ark ship."

Chapter 34: Yesterday is history

Fengweilan, a name ancient enough to be engraved on the monument of human history.

There are five more names similar to this one.

They were born at the most dangerous moment for mankind, on the brink of extinction, and left the earth carrying the fire of civilization.

In the 21st century, astronomers have observed that the Sun is about to experience a helium flash, and in less than a hundred years the Earth will be pulled into the rapidly expanding Sun.

The extinction of humanity on Earth seems to be inevitable.

But at this critical moment, someone suddenly discovered a gravitational distortion in the Oort Cloud one light year away, which was suspected to be an unstable wormhole.

This sudden appearance of a wormhole is meaningful, and all human knowledge about wormholes is on paper, but in any case it is a possible way of survival.

At that time, humans already had the ability to travel short distances between the Earth and the Moon and to build small spacecraft. As long as enough cost was paid, building a large spacecraft would not be a difficult task. After all, humans are forced to do things.

But the spacecraft could not take everyone with it, and heavy fusion technology could not be equipped on the spacecraft due to its huge demand for working fluid and large volume, so the several arks at that time still used immature conventional nuclear fusion technology.

In this critical moment, the member states of the Council, which had been arguing over their own interests in the past, put aside their prejudices against each other and chose to establish the Earth Federation to face this unprecedented disaster together.

All united.

With the help of the black box technology quantum computer artificial intelligence "lichen" at the time, mankind exploded with unprecedented potential, and productivity exploded and more than doubled in just three years.

At the spaceport, six arks were built simultaneously.

On the ground, thousands of high-density compressed alloy steel rails are being laid. The entire northern hemisphere is being wrapped in a gradually spreading spider web, and the planetary engines are their nodes. In order to meet construction needs, humans at that time directly dismembered the moon step by step and utilized all the minerals and helium-3 inside. The transportation line between the earth and the moon runs day and night.

This satellite, which has accompanied the Earth for billions of years, finally dedicated everything to the life it was guarding before its life came to an end.

In the end, the Earth chose to go to Centaurus, and six arks carrying a total of 150 million people chose to enter the wormhole with an uncertain future.

Even from today's perspective, this is absolutely an astonishing epic of civilization.

Until the day he left, this thrilling history was still engraved in the mind of every spaceman.

But the world will not be kind to you just because you have courage and determination.

The six arks collectively encountered turbulence as soon as they entered the wormhole. The whereabouts of four of them are still unknown. The Hyacinth was wrecked, and by the time they were found, all 25 people on board had starved to death.

Only the Qiu Ju successfully found a habitable planet, survived and developed a colony.

It was hundreds of years later when we reconnected with the Earth Federation.

The names of the 125 million victims have all been engraved on the Martyrs' Monument.

The journey of the Earth itself has also been plagued by disasters, with countless casualties.

Behind their current glory are the sacrifices of countless people in the past.

However, they never expected that today, tens of thousands of years later, another crashed human colony ship would arrive at the Phoenix Orchid billions of light years away along with space turbulence.

结果

Is it just to collect his remains?

Thinking back to the last message he received, Zhang Miao's heart was filled with complicated emotions at the moment, and he didn't know what expression to put on his face for a moment.

Looking at the emperor who was rummaging through the boxes with his butt sticking out, he asked one last question.

"What happened to them?"

"Where's my handmade cigar? I remember putting it here... ah, I found it"

The emperor stood in the mess he had turned over, picked up a cigar with his flippers and put it under his nose.

"I don't know. Don't look at me like that. I really don't know. I'm just a bionic computer at the Polar Research Institute."

The emperor was lost in his memories, and Zhang Miao actually saw a trace of sadness on that penguin face.

"That day, she said a lot of inexplicable things to me, all about family matters, as if she was leaving a last will. Then everyone left this research galaxy, leaving behind only a batch of human fertilized eggs that had already started hatching.

Damn it, (Penguin screams) Can you imagine, a group of us nanorobots have become wet nurses, hahahaha, raising more than a million cubs.

More than 20 years later, just when we thought everything was starting over... they came back."

A human fleet, I have no mistake, it's our fleet, but no matter how we called, there was no response, when someone sailed over to pick them up.

They're firing, (Penguin screams) Those damn bastards, they're firing at their own people!

Fortunately, the research base had complete automatic space defense facilities and a defense fleet, which eventually destroyed them.

One of them crashed in the northern polar region, right outside my house (scream)!!!

The people in the boat are not human at all, they are just a bunch of brainless flesh and blood. Believe me, if you see that scene, you will definitely not be able to eat for several days.
