"I am the access point."
The thumbs of Anqiao's hands placed on the table touched each other, and the palms formed an arc. A little blue light lit up from the tip of the index finger of his left hand, flowing along the arc under the skin, passing through the thumb, moving to the index finger of his right hand, and then the original The road goes back and forth, forming a neuromantic access device made of two hands.
"Mechanical modification?"
"Yes," Anqiao smiled.
Li Liang's face was expressionless. He would not be stupid enough to put his head in the hands of others before establishing enough trust, let alone that the two sides were enemies a few days ago. He glanced at Anqiao's hands: "This is Marginal Business Department’s sincerity?”
"Under the current situation, the Marginal Business Department deserves your trust," Onkyo solemnly said, "Besides, it would be an extremely stupid decision for anyone to hurt the founder of Xi'an."
Li Liang was indifferent. Obviously such nonsense was unconvincing.
Sudden.
Anqiao's eyes were blank, he frowned, nodded slightly, bowed in greeting and left his seat.
next moment.
The world shattered like a burst bubble, and the walls and floors wrapped in solid wood and the herringbone dome disappeared. Li Liang was surprised to find that he appeared on a beach together with high stools and tables, and other patrons of the bar He didn't seem to notice anything and was still dancing and talking.
He realized that the Marginal Business Department had somehow tampered with the display of his retinal projector. At this moment, he was still sitting at the Needle Bar, but the world in his eyes had turned into another virtual scene.
This was a compromise way to meet. He could control the surrounding environment and summon the portal to leave at any time. However, the moment he looked around, his heart skipped a beat.
The virtual scene turned out to be the beach of Yalong Bay.
The familiar hotel and swimming pool are not far away. A thousand years ago, he would come here for vacation every year with his father and brother.
After a moment, a silver-haired old man wearing beach pants and a plaid shirt came from a distance. When he got closer, he noticed that the old man had a face of mixed Chinese and European descent, with rough skin and meticulously combed white hair.
The old man said nothing as he approached. He just bowed deeply and said solemnly after standing up: "I am Andre Wiggin, the current president of Zhuos Valve's Marginal Business Department. I am honored to be here at the end of my life." Time will meet you.”
Li Liang was silent.
Andre's voice had an extremely weak breath, which showed that his high spirits at this moment was just a virtual appearance of neurotic wandering. This ambitious CEO was probably not going to die soon.
"I should have been on my knees to greet you, Father of Xi'an," Andre looked pained and coughed a few times. "I have never truly believed in the Twin Gods, but this does not affect my respect for you. You and the Twelve The disciples led Xi'an on the road to glory and completely changed the world. The ambition and courage during this period have fascinated me throughout my life."
"Change the world?" Li Liang laughed to himself.
Andre stared at his face intently, breathed for a while, and said slowly:
"When I first heard the information about you, I thought you were just an insignificant person. I think the same is true for heroic spirits, because we have seen the 'weakness' from your experience, muddling through, blind empathy, and the weakness of mortals.
When I realized that you had incredibly high authority, I once suspected that a certain main god in the pantheon had secretly arranged the plan and sent a spokesperson to lurk in Zhongjing. However, as the situation in Zhongjing changed and Li Chengshu's last message came, I finally confirmed, The twin gods left the temple and set foot in the mortal world.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The heroic spirit confirmed this earlier than me and was more decisive than me.
I don’t care about failure, I just want to know what makes you”
Li Liang lowered his head and stroked the double-ring ring, and said softly: "I want to know too."
"Amnesia? Is it really amnesia?" Andre seemed to have already made up his mind and shook his head, "What kind of plan requires the Twin Gods to execute it personally?"
Li Liang couldn't answer this question.
This plan, I don’t know when it started, I don’t know what the purpose is, and I don’t even know who the enemy is. So far, there are only "pieces" of scattered puzzle pieces, Tianling, Group, Emperor Haotian, God of Chaos, and Cunning God, Zero One and so on, but they still can't form a clear picture.
"Perhaps, the 'New World' is just part of this plan," Andre laughed breathlessly. "The Heroic Spirit and I are just two funny clowns. No, I am luckier than the Heroic Spirit. I am about to die."
Hearing these words, Li Liang's expression darkened.
The content of the letter sent by Prometheus to Dr. Xison is still fresh in my mind. The Marginal Business Department is no more noble than the heroic spirit of Dros, and is even more evil.
Zhuos Yingling wants to feed the entire Xiacheng area to the new world, while the Marginal Business Department is trying to corral the people in Xiacheng area like livestock, and use Yuan Zhen to attract goblin invasion.
Such a crazy person still wants to die in bed?
Andre coughed a few times, leaned on the table and said in a low voice: "You lost your memory, lived in Xiacheng District for three years, and are hostile to Xi'an, which you created with your own hands. Of course, you will also regard the 'New World' plan as an evil ambition that annihilates conscience. , Zhuosi Yingling sacrificed the entire Xiacheng District for his own selfish interests, and the Marginal Business Department led the wolf into the house and ignored the people's right to live freely in Xiacheng District. Zhuosi's clan is full of snakes and rats, and it is not a pity to die. "
Li Liang's face was filled with anger.
"Please allow a dying man to tell you some facts, some cruel facts that you have forgotten," Andre turned his head and looked into the distance, paused for a long time, and slowly said:
"After the construction of the upper city, Xi'an ordered the Zhuos family to start establishing deep space defense and interstellar expeditionary corps. Zhuos established a marginal business department for this purpose, and the first president was concurrently served by the leader of the Zhuos family.
Supported by the unimaginable technological power of the Twin Gods, the Legion soon spread its footprints throughout the solar system, establishing bases in every terrestrial planet, dwarf planet, and the Oort Cloud, and used the Kardashev Type III civilization as its imaginary enemy. , formed the first line of defense, and then the first expeditionary force was ready to set sail to explore deep space.
The exploration is divided into three parts. The fleet equipped with sublight speed engines is the first echelon, which will gradually explore the interstellar cloud. It is expected that a second line of defense will be established near the three stars of Alpha Centauri, the double star of Sirius, and Wolf 359 within a hundred years.
The fleet using quantum slipstream technology is the second echelon, roughly exploring the Orion Arm where the solar system is located, and using faster detectors to radiate the Perseus Arm and Sagittarius Arm. It is planned to establish a third channel within five hundred years. Line of defense.
The most important fleet is equipped with the hyperspace jump engine 'Asia's Needle'"
"Asia?" Li Liang said in surprise.
The four ways of existence in the spiritual world described by Tamu are Aqilu, Jezila, Belaiya, and Ahiya. Among them, Ahiya represents the eternal existence of things, which is incomprehensible and inaccessible, from infinite origin to infinity. The end belongs to the realm of God.
"Yes, the Needle of Asia," Andre said with his eyes lowered, "To this day, the Dros Laboratory still cannot decipher its internal structure and principles. It only knows that it can allow the spacecraft to enter another space, a metric tension. Quantity expands into the space of a probability cloud, covering all the 'positions' of the universe from its emergence to its demise. After anchoring the preset coordinates, the spacecraft returns to the universe through violent fluctuations in time through the infinite non-probabilistic stabilizer, and reaches its destination. .
This technology allows the fleet to reach any location in the observable universe within Planck time. The disadvantage is that it will produce supernova explosion-level radiation energy when it is started. Therefore, the fleet must first go to the vicinity of Assassn-15lh Indi before it can be started. 'Asia's Needle'.
The fleet was led by Subdroth Lee, then Vice President of the Marginal Business Department. He was very young and scorned the Fermi Paradox. He believed that there must be other civilizations in the universe, and left a classic saying, " Building deep space defenses is a waste of time because I will defeat any civilization that comes before me."
Hearing this, Li Liang seemed to see the great journey of mankind conquering the stars and the sea step by step.
However.
Andre's voice deepened, and his expression became confused. He stretched out his hand in vain and murmured: "How far did the fleet led by Subo fly? Thirty billion light years? Fifty billion? I don't know, Zhuos only said You can receive messages from the depths of the universe.
The first thing they explored was the double-helix nebula 300 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way, where 99% of the matter is in plasma and there may be plasma organisms, but nothing was found.
Later, I went to the wc922 nebula, which showed a perfect geometric shape, much like the creation of civilization and found nothing.
33 galaxies? An unknown object that emits stellar-level infrared light but not much visible light is much like a Dyson cloud used to harvest stellar energy and harvest nothing.
Even more bizarre is SSier 105, an elliptical galaxy filled with newborn stars. How could it not be a creation of civilization? No, it's not.
pgc54559? Hogg's Object, which appears as a nearly perfect ring with no civilization.
One fleet after another uses the 'Asia Needle' to go to galaxies where civilization is suspected. Even if there is even a slight possibility, the Marginal Business Department will send at least one detector team.
They found countless planets with conditions similar to those on Earth, but none gave birth to life. They went to countless galaxies with unnatural features, but none of them contained life.
Human beings have long known that our life is born from chemical reactions. Under certain conditions, inorganic substances undergo chemical reactions to synthesize organic molecules and RNA that can self-replicate. This chemical reaction is very common, so common that the probability of other civilizations existing in the universe is infinitely close. 1, but the fact is before us, human beings exist alone in the boundless universe,"
Andre raised his head, with a look of extreme despair on his face, "The most ridiculous joke in history is in front of us, we are unique."
