Finally, under the leadership of Lao Zhang, everyone arrived at the observation room at the front of the battleship.
Although this is just an observation room, the space here is actually huge.
The horizontal and vertical views are extremely broad, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a hall.
In front of them is a curved piece of one-way glass that stretches hundreds of meters.
These glasses can only be viewed from the inside to the outside, but the outside cannot peek inside.
Rhodes and others looked at the remains of an incalculable number of mechanical objects floating in the universe in the distance.
It spreads densely for tens of thousands of kilometers, with no end as far as the eye can see.
Only in the middle of these space junks is there a cleared path.
Perhaps, if it weren't for the fact that the warships of the Mechanical Intelligence Civilization were too large for them to move, they probably wouldn't have been able to clear this path alone.
In the universe here, there are no stars in the extremely far surrounding range.
I don’t know if it never existed or if it was beaten to pieces.
Without the influence of external gravity, these fragments would probably have been floating in space for a long, long time.
At this moment, someone suddenly asked: "Isn't there anyone to clean up this garbage?"
Lao Zhang nodded: "No one would think of cleaning everything up."
The man wondered: "Why? If there is garbage and it is not cleaned up, wouldn't it affect us?"
Lao Zhang looked at him in surprise and asked, "It affects us? Why do you think so? We don't live here."
The man insisted:
"The universe is also our home! There is no way that there is garbage outside the house but there is no garbage inside. We just don't care about it at all, right?
Since we are the masters of this universe, we should do our duty to maintain the universe. "
Rhodes was speechless after hearing this.
The garbage outside the house is close and you can see it at any time.
But how many times can you see garbage in the universe in your lifetime?
At this time, Lao Zhang explained:
“You should clean things up only if you can do what you can, or if it actually affects you.
But look at it now, there are so many, how much time will it take if you want to clean them up?
If you have this time, you might as well study how to build a civilization for the elderly. "
Hearing what the old man said, the student became anxious.
"Then let these smashed pieces float in space without anyone cleaning them up?"
Lao Zhang listened to his childish words and was not angry at all.
As a child, it is normal for everything to be personal.
He just looked out the window calmly and spoke casually.
"How do you know that the stars in the sky outside us and the universe we live in are not made from some smashed fragments?"
Lao Zhang looked at him: "Look, has anyone come to clean us up?"
The man said: "But we are human beings!"
Lao Zhang replied: "How do you know that others don't look at us like we look at bugs? What if in other people's eyes, we are bugs crawling on this piece of garbage?"
After listening to what Lao Zhang said, the man was thoughtful.
Lao Zhang did not continue to discuss this topic with him, but reached out and patted his shoulder gently.
Lao Zhang said to the students: "Okay, we should go to the next place."
When the students heard what Lao Zhang said, they all gathered around him.
A big hand grabbed everyone and pulled them into the void.
The next moment, everyone appeared on a huge metal planet.
This metal planet is obviously more than twice the size of the planets that Rhodes has lived in.
There are not many high-rise buildings on the ground.
The building under their feet was the only tall building nearby.
The pure metal floor that everyone stepped on would bloom with a touch of gray color as they walked.
It seems that there is a special layer of paint on the surface of this metal.
Rhodes looked around.
Outside this building, there are all steel buildings with the same appearance.
Looking at the appearance of these buildings, they seem to be external defense facilities.
These huge spherical spheres are like cysts growing on the ground, and one can be found every few meters apart.
Lao Zhang introduced: "This is an energy-launching cannon. If all of them are activated, the entire planet can emit beams of light in all directions."
Everyone was very surprised when they looked at these defense facilities.
At the same time, they are also curious about how their seniors broke through when faced with these defense facilities?
At this moment, a certain student was pointing in a direction and exclaimed:
"Look! What is that?"
Hearing his shout, everyone quickly gathered around him.
Rhodes also followed the crowd and came to the edge of the building.
Under the dozens of floors of the building, there is an extremely open place.
At this time, there were many mechanical objects parked neatly here.
Each mechanical object is more than ten meters tall.
The streamlined body and the various equipment arranged in a reasonable manner are all hung around the huge muzzle.
The reason they were created seems to be to serve the war.
Rhodes looked along the queue.
He found that these mechanical objects were arranged all the way away until they extended below the ground.
Rhodes just found out.
It turns out that the place under the feet of these machines is not a so-called square or a hangar, but an extremely wide track.
This crawler should be able to continuously transport these mechanical objects out of the ground.
Perhaps for some unknown reason, the crawler track that was still running suddenly stopped.
So there are still so many unactivated mechanical objects standing there blankly.
Lao Zhang stood on the high platform, pointed at the surrounding buildings, and introduced the functions of these buildings to everyone one by one.
After the introduction, everyone was led by Lao Zhang to the next place.
As everyone was pushed out of the void, Rhodes discovered that although the surroundings were bright, the light was not too soft.
Rhodes raised his head.
I saw that what was hanging above me was not the sky and the sun at all.
Instead, there are high-definition screens showing blue sky, white clouds and red sun.
Rhodes took a look.
On both sides of the wide tracks are huge factories.
These factories, lined up neatly in rows, seem to be complete industrial chains, arranged along the tracks.
Rhodes took a rough look.
On the crawler belt, there are many parts stacked in the front part.
Screws, steel plates, resistive components, etc.
In the middle part of the track, there are many semi-finished products of machinery.
Tires, metal cases, circuit boards, etc.
When they reached the end of the track, Rhodes discovered many tall mechanical objects.
In a certain section of the track, the mechanical object was empty, lacking everything.
After a while, the arms were ready.
After another period of time, the legs of the mechanical object were also attached.
By the time these mechanical objects pass through the last factory, their bodies will have been fully formed.
As long as it is transported up on the crawler track, it can be released on the battlefield under the control of the smart citizen network.
However, at this time, these huge factories have completely stopped working.
All facilities and equipment still maintain their original busy appearance.
There were only huge mechanical arms hovering in the air in a chaotic manner.
It seems to indicate how busy this place was before.
At this time, Tang Guoguo suddenly asked Rhodes: "Brother Yusheng, are the mechanical objects of the Mechanical Intelligence Civilization made from here?"
Rhodes nodded: "Yes."
Isn't this obvious?
You silly woman, why do you have to ask me?
Cao Lie beside him also sighed at this time.
"To be able to defeat such a terrifying enemy, the abilities possessed by our seniors are so powerful that we can't even imagine it!"
Rhodes agreed: "Yes! I don't know when we will learn these abilities."
After he said this, he glanced at Lao Zhang not far away.
And Lao Zhang obviously heard Rhodes' sigh.
He said: "Work hard! There will always be opportunities in the future!"
Rhodes just started, and after bringing up the topic, he stopped talking.
Cao Lie, on the other hand, didn't know what Rhodes was thinking. He was very curious about this matter.
Seeing that the words had come to this, he then asked: "Learning these abilities requires military merit. Now that the war is almost over, how can we still have this opportunity?"
Cao Lie's words seemed to poke the lungs of other students around him.
They immediately started talking to each other.
"Yes, yes! If there was no war, we probably wouldn't be able to learn a few abilities in our lifetime."
"If we don't learn, and all the old people are gone in the future, wouldn't we be just a bunch of losers?"
"Yes, yes! If other civilizations attack us, we have no power to fight back. How should we solve this situation?"
Lao Zhang didn't seem to have thought about this.
Faced with many students' questions, he was unable to give an answer.
But he knew that since even the students could think of this situation, the above must have already made corresponding arrangements.
So he said: "Don't worry, the higher ups will definitely handle this matter properly."
When Lao Zhang said this, even though some students were talking, most of them shut up.
They still have great trust in the high-level officials who lead the entire civilization.
So gradually no one continued to talk about this topic.
They began to shift the topic to the things they saw around them.
The various technologies displayed by the mechanical intelligence civilization here can still be inspiring to them.
Everyone watched all the way.
Layer, layer, and layer.
It turns out that the entire planet here is supported by layers of buildings.
Each layer has its own function.
The outermost layer is defense facilities, mechanical warship docking places, and transportation channels.
The second floor is the production base for various mechanical objects.
Countless mechanical objects will be produced here, and then sent to the ground on crawlers.
The third level is the processing area.
The smelting and casting of various ores, the production of various small parts, and the stamping of huge steel plates are all completed here.
The fourth floor is where various ores are sorted, washed, and purified.
The situation on the fifth floor is a bit incredible.
The bottom layer is not land, but encompasses two very small planets.
The two of them are bound inside by some kind of magnetic field, constantly rotating around each other.
Through all kinds of equipment around that no one can name.
Mechanical intelligence civilization can draw kinetic energy from the rotation of these two asteroids, thereby producing a large amount of electricity.
The electricity produced is supplied to the factories and facilities above.
Rhodes stood on a step that stretched far into the void, looking at the two planets that were entangled with each other in the distance.
An idea suddenly came to his mind.
There are different races in different universes and different civilizations, but they all use technologies that are not very different.
Such as electricity.
So according to what the elder civilization said about other civilizations, isn't it possible?
Once upon a time, there was a highly developed technological civilization.
Perhaps the intelligence level of this civilization has reached a very terrifying level.
But in the process of the development of this civilization, they did not choose to fully embrace machinery. There may be a state of coexistence of flesh and blood and machinery.
Perhaps, this civilization has already mastered gene engraving technology.
Some things that need to be learned can be directly engraved in genes so that people can be born with them.
As a result, the entire civilization was pushed to a climax.
But one day, due to its own development, this planet was discovered by a powerful civilization.
Then, they were attacked.
This planet with a splendid technological civilization was shattered by some kind of attack in just a moment.
A large number of fragments of facilities and equipment, as well as many planet fragments carrying the genetic material of this planet, are floating aimlessly in the universe.
By chance, these fragments were captured by the gravity of many planets.
A large number of planets are devoid of life.
These fragments can only be gradually buried in dust, or burned in the stars.
But some planets may already have life.
After landing on such a planet, these genes began to combine with local genes or genes from other civilizations, and continued to evolve and multiply.
The creatures on these planets, one day, those things that were engraved in their genes were suddenly awakened.
They will gradually embark on a certain path based on their instincts engraved in their bones.
For example, lambs will drink milk when they are born.
Everyone will think this is the instinct of a little lamb.
But how the instinct came into being in the first place, no one knows.
But Rhodes felt that this should be the knowledge engraved in the genes, but it was incomplete.
There may be some kind of powerful being that looks somewhat similar to a sheep. After it dies, its genetic material scatters everywhere.
But unfortunately, what finally came to a certain planet and combined with the native land was only a tiny bit of broken genetic material.
Although this brand new creature still looks like a sheep, its body has turned into a beast.
They can no longer become the feared sheep-headed demon that travels the universe, but can only become a beast that can only bleat.
Therefore, the specific kind of organisms that can be combined depends on which genes account for a higher proportion of this brand-new biological gene.
If there were more native genes, it might be that for tens of thousands of years, every place on this planet would still be ruled by groups of stupid beasts.
If the metaphysical factors are high, a cultivation civilization might eventually evolve.
If these foreign organisms have more genetic material.
Then after they combine with local genes, they may eventually form a brand new intelligent race.
However, because the original genes obtained by these intelligent races are incomplete.
They simply cannot realize that the inventions and creations made by people like them are actually just awakening certain pieces of knowledge that have long been hidden in genes.
Mysterious genes and perfect bodies are beyond the comprehension of their incompletely developed civilization.
Therefore, they can only blindly attribute the opportunity to discover these things to a flash of inspiration and talent.
Rhodes looked at the two planets and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Do you have a chance to discover that original civilization?
