Chapter 1318: Section 3 Memory

"A sneeze!"
The underground laboratory of the Jinling Institute of Advanced Research sat on a bed next to the computer, and Lu Zhou sneezed without warning.
It seemed to be frightened by this sneeze. The drone with a small TV hovered from the side.
[Master, have you caught a cold? Need Xiao Ai to check your body? qaq]
"No, I'm fine," rubbed a bit of redness, and Lu Zhou murmured to himself, "I suppose someone remembered it ... let's continue."
【Ok. q (w ｀)]
Although still a little worried, Lu Zhou's order was absolute. The drone floating next to it whine and flew back again, replaced by a robot attached to the wall, handing a black virtual reality helmet In front of Lu Zhou.
Reaching out to take over the streamlined helmet, Lu Zhou put it on seriously, then lay back on the soft mattress.
Now the technology is really more and more advanced. He vaguely remembers that when the phantom system was just launched, the vr helmets introduced by major manufacturers were cumbersome at first glance with motorcycle helmets.
Now, companies like Warwick, Rice and others have launched their own ultra-thin high-end products. After wearing them, lying on the pillows is not uncomfortable, and you ca n’t even feel a metal shell on your head.
The startup time of the neural access device was set, and Lu Zhou, who closed his eyes, meditated a "system" in his heart, and soon entered a pure white space ...
...
Memory starts smoothly.
When Lu Zhou opened his eyes again, it was already a grassland.
However, it is very different from the grasslands on earth.
The grass here is blue, just like the endless ocean, and waist-waving in the wind. The azure blue contrasts with the horizon, but the sky is like a burning flame, exuding a breathtaking energy.
At the same time, on the side of that distant skyline, a fiery red gaseous planet that is countless times larger than the distant star, occupies one-third of the sky.
As if waiting for something, the person standing on this grassland didn't move, but just quietly looked at everything in his eyes, as if to deeply engrave the beauty before dusk. It's the same ...
The limbs could not move, but the five senses were normal. The land boat that was attached to the shell like a falling spirit took only half a second to figure out the situation.
The earth-like planet under my feet should be a satellite of a gaseous planet.
Judging from the unfolded terrain, the geological activity of this generation should be infrequent or the geological activity of the entire planet has stabilized. In addition, the ecosystem on this planet should be much simpler than the earth, and there are no traces of artificial development.
Just then, the wind on the prairie suddenly became loud.
Feeling the strong wind blowing up, "Lu Zhou" couldn't help closing his eyes.
And almost at the same time, the moment when he closed his eyes, a memory that did not belong to him poured into his mind like a flood of pouring water.
The torn picture flashed, standing in the ancient Roman-style ring arena, he defeated a terrible opponent with the iron blade in his hand.
Blood splattered and the picture continued to flicker.
A man who looked like a referee stood in front of him, raised his hands strongly in the cheers of the audience, and declared his victory.
Immediately after that, the picture turned again, this time not in the arena, but in a wide hall.
A man dressed like a servant of the clergy put a stone emitting green gloom on his forehead, muttering a language that could not be translated even by the observer ’s civilization, and then placed the stone on him Open palms.
From the piecemeal fragment, Lu Zhou probably figured out what "thing" was the master of this memory, and some "story background" that happened before this memory.
Let's start with the most critical thing. This memory does not belong to the Jialan civilization, but belongs to a group that sounds like "Parker".
They are full of fluff and are generally between one and one and a half meters tall. They have flexible claws, strong feet, and upright animal ears, just like large cats walking upright without a tail.
Because the parent star lacked metal minerals, it took them a long time to move from the iron age to the industrial age. In this long period of time, they realized the unification of civilization even in the Iron Age.
Entering the industrial age with a single civilization, even for them an advantage is a disadvantage.
Its advantage lies in the fact that the conflicts within civilizations have basically ended in the cold weapon era, and the long feudal era has infused civilizations with the idea of ​​grand unification and authoritarianism, even if there have been several regime changes and rises and falls during the period. The evolution, and the turbulence caused by it, have also smoothly passed through in small-scale local conflicts.
It can be said that the industrial machinery of Parker civilization has never really entered the military field.
Although the gene of advocating force is included in their civilization, this gene has been "transcribed" in a completely different form from human civilization.
For example, rather than negotiating, they are more inclined to solve problems through primitive cold weapon duels.
Rather than using morality as a guideline for binding behavior, they are more inclined to advertise honor.
For another example, the short life expectancy makes them bearish on life and death, and believe in reincarnation and the afterlife ... even if their science has never really proven these two things.
At the same time, while reading those fragments of memory, Lu Zhou noticed that there was a huge priestly and noble class in the Parker civilization.
As a spiritual leader of the priest class, a profession called the prophet has played an even more important role than the king in the rise and fall of the entire civilization.
Idealism and authoritarianism, the level of science and technology is about the first half of the interstellar era, the development of thinking and the powerful and autistic Kalan Empire are two completely different.
Under the support of high cultural identity and the idea of ​​great unification, they do not seem to have the same punishment for expansion. Even before mastering the communication means of super-light speed, the colony and the parent star maintained an unbelievable unity.
And compared with building their homes, they tend to live alone, they are more inclined to migrate towards distant and empty habitable planets, and do everything possible to occupy more land even if they are unexplored wasteland.
Just like the Jialan people like to breathe the metal-filled air around the world, these cat-like lonely parkers can spend a whole day on the empty prairie.
For example, the grassland planet under his feet is one of hundreds of colonial planets of Parker civilization.
As for the body Lu Zhou now substitutes, it is a warrior who sounds like "Noir". Just a few days ago, he defeated his opponent in a duel betting on the name of God, becoming A glorious God-chosen person.
As mentioned earlier, prophets have played an important role in the history of Parker's civilization, and those chosen by God are the right hand of the prophet.
The prophet tells the "best arrangement" to the "chosen person" who is the only informed person through a special ritual "predicting the future" called a "psionic ceremony" and instructs him to fulfill his mission.
In fact, when reading this memory, Lu Zhou quite doubted the rigor of this ritual and whether such things in the future could really be predicted by this unreliable method.
However, Parker civilization seems convinced.
Even if only a few times in their history, the chosen ones, following the teachings of the prophets, did "right things" that would benefit the world.
From this perspective, these fluffy guys seem to know lessons from history than humans.
However, as far as technology is concerned, these furry guys seem to be more advanced than human civilization, and Lu Zhou has nothing to say about their position ...
At this time, footsteps came from behind.
Opening his eyes, Parker turned and looked back, and saw a soft light beam falling from the cloud, and a figure slowly fell on the blue grassland along the light.
Gravitational rays?
anti-gravity?
Or ... something he didn't understand.
Regardless of what magical technology these Parkers use to travel back and forth between the high orbit and the planet's surface, Lu Zhou followed Nou's line of sight and looked at the hair that was "walking" from the beam dry, The aging Parker tried to find clues about this guy from scattered pieces of memory.
However, something strange happened.
In Lu Zhou's or Noir's memory, although there is a considerable lengthy memory of this old man, his name has not appeared.
Just when Lu Zhou was surprised by this strange situation, the old "cat-man" suddenly spoke.
"Congratulations, the warrior named Noir."
Gracefully lowered his head, Nou said.
"Thank you."
"Thank you, everything is the will of the Spirit of the universe."
The old man smiled, carefully looked at the face of the young man in front of him, and gently nodded his head, saying, "Under its guidance, the bravest of our civilization came to me. To be honest, for a long time A long time ago, I was shaken by psionic rituals and shrines, but now I am extremely convinced that this is the best arrangement. "
Noir did not speak, but merely maintained a respectful attitude, waiting for the old man in front to tell the prophecy belonging to the chosen one.
This is almost a convention.
However, this time, the old man didn't seem to plan to say a lot. After studying him for a long time, he used only a very vague description to summarize the whole prophecy, and then he said the "best" of the chosen one. s arrangement".
"Natural disaster is approaching, no one is spared, there is a flame from the border to the Holy Land ... Your mission is to go to the center of this galaxy and find our way out of civilization."
Stunned by that amazing prediction, Noir was stunned for two seconds, and then asked anxiously.
"How do I find it"
"Shh."
Withered paws pressed on Noir's lips, the old man interrupted Noir's questioning, looked at him with a meaningful look, and continued, "When you get there, you naturally know what to do ... that's only Your task. "
Perhaps it was listening to the old man's words, or perhaps obedience due to piety. Noir nodded silently, and did not speak again.
Looking at the young man in front of him listening to his words, the old man's face showed a smile of approval.
"The spaceship and luggage are ready."
"May you be able to find that faint hope in the middle of this galaxy."
Having said that, the old man suddenly stopped talking.
After a brief silence, he changed his tone of relief and continued.
"... Take 10,000 steps back, and even if you don't find it, you don't have to blame it."
"Your genes, your blood, your bones, your culture, and your language, everything is proof of our existence. You carry all of us, even if the great holy land finally swept this place Falling from the disaster of the universe, we will not be able to kill this life in the long years. "
"The Holy Land fell? How is that possible! That natural disaster ... did you see something? No ... I shouldn't ask this question."
He muttered to himself, Nou suddenly raised his head, put his right fist on his left chest, stared firmly at the old man in front of him, promised, "I will definitely reach the center of this galaxy Find a way to resolve the crisis! "
Upon hearing this vow, the old man just smiled slightly.
"Don't be so confident. This is a journey of hundreds of thousands of light years, not just a threat from the universe itself. You may encounter many travelers who are also inspired by the universe. Many of them are far stronger than ours. And not all travelers are upholding good intentions, it is not easy to live. "
"But I believe you."
The muddy pupil was filled with kindness.
As if watching his child, the old man looked at him carefully, as if he wanted to remember this last side forever.
Nou was the same. The two just looked at each other, letting the wind on the grassland blow gently, and played the farewell prelude.
I don't know how many years it will take to reach the end.
And even if the end is reached, there must be no chance to return here.
Silently receiving the influence of the parting atmosphere, Lu Zhou did not bring it into the plot.
So at this moment his attention has been completely taken away by that prophecy about natural disasters.
However, when ~ EbookFREE.me ~ was thinking hard about the clues about the natural disaster, suddenly, he found the muddy pupil, but he didn't know when to bring a sharpness.
That sharpness is not easy to detect, but its existence is so prominent and full of contradictions.
Just like a sharp blade, piercing deep into the bone marrow.
Somewhat confused about the change of plot.
When Lu Zhou was thinking about why the old man suddenly looked at the "chosen person" with sharp eyes, a strange feeling suddenly climbed onto his scalp.
It is difficult to describe exactly what this feeling is and where it comes from.
When I met the old man again, just as Lu Zhou tried to read some clues from his eyes, a terrible thought suddenly flashed from his mind, making him react suddenly.
That old man ...
It's "self"!
