Chapter 1637 The Past of the Old Universe

"really interesting."

Standing in the spaceship, General Reinhardt, whose whole body is made of holographic light and shadow, is raising his head, staring intently at the chandelier on the ceiling. However, judging from the focusing state of his pupils, it doesn't look like he is looking at some ceiling, but instead, he seems to be staring intently at a certain place on this planet through the spaceship and rock formations more than ten kilometers deep.

Hearing the muttering, Lu Zhou stopped fiddling with the holographic model, and cast a curious look at General Reinhardt who was looking up at the ceiling.

"What's so interesting?"

"It's nothing, you don't need to care about it..." General Reinhardt continued in a chatty tone with an undiminished interest on his face, "There seems to be a fight outside."

fight?

WTF?

Hearing General Reinhardt's answer, Lu Zhou was even more confused.

"……fight?"

"Hmm..." General Reinhardt said thoughtfully, "The commotion seems to be quite small... But compared with my hometown, the scale is still far behind."

The last battle, even now, is still fresh in his mind.

The naval guns of the Imperial Fleet razed the mountains, rivers, and the endless farmland to the ground. The rich agricultural planet turned into a magma-ravaged lava world in an instant, and the last defense force of the Revolutionary Army collapsed in an instant.

Thinking about it now, being able to escape from there and drift to the center of the universe according to the guidance of the "Oracle" was nothing short of a miracle.

Seeing that this guy seemed to be in a nostalgic mood, Lu Zhou didn't know how to answer this sentence for a while. However, he can understand what this guy is talking about.

After all, compared with the size of the Jialan Empire, the earth civilization that is still in its infancy is too small. Even the largest war in the history of mankind, the scale of the battlefield is no more than planetary scale.

Looking at the holographic model suspended in his hand, Lu Zhou pondered for a long time before suddenly asking.

"...Speaking of which, can you perceive the outside world?"

"Are you referring to the world on the surface of Mars?" Reinhardt smiled lightly, "What's so difficult about it, otherwise, how do you think I've spent these billions of years?"

At this time, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered the memory of the Martian civilization that he saw during the cryogenic hibernation. It was also at this moment that he realized that he seemed to be asking a stupid question.

"...I don't understand, how did you do it?"

"Through the analysis of a series of factors such as electromagnetic waves, changes in planetary gravitational distribution, and geothermal temperature... many things do not necessarily have to be seen with the eyes, but can also be heard with the ears or felt with the heart."

When speaking these words, General Reinhardt's voice carried a hint of arrogance unique to advanced civilizations. Although that feeling was faint, it could still be easily read from the changes in his facial expressions.

Even standing in the holographic beam is a humanoid "alien creature" with blue skin.

"It seems that the functions on this spaceship are more powerful than I imagined," Lu Zhou said thoughtfully, looking around the simple-style cabin, "at least the sensor part is beyond my imagination. Just By changing a few simple parameters, it is possible to surmise that there is a ... military conflict erupting over our heads."

"Of course, electromagnetic waves transmit not only information, but also people's emotions." General Reinhardt smiled lightly, and continued without any change in expression, "A group of people rushed towards another group of people angrily, using electromagnetic ejection The cannonballs and explosives vent each other's anger... Tsk tsk, it's so similar."

For some reason, this sentence is so similar that it made Lu Zhou feel inexplicably uneasy.

I always felt that during the time I was away, something extraordinary should have happened on the surface.

Air pirates attacking colonies?

impossible……

How can there be such a powerful air pirate.

In his impression, those "pirate ships" active in the asteroid belt are at most doing things like robbing mining stations and intercepting transport ships. If they really dare to reach out to the colonies, the guns of the First Fleet will teach them how to behave in minutes.

Just when he was thinking about what happened outside, General Reinhardt, who hadn't spoken for a while, suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, you have read about my memories of the empire in the memory of the void."

"Yes... In my impression, it is a beautiful place."

Whether it is an endless ring world or a border planet full of beautiful scenery, if one must find an example as the standard of utopia, Lu Zhou feels that it is probably the limit he can imagine now.

Hearing the words of approval, General Reinhardt smiled and continued.

"Thank you for your compliment, I also think it is a beautiful place, so that I have spent a long time, drifting here from a certain galaxy in the old universe, and I have not been able to find another place that is comparable to it. place."

"Later, I learned from observers that even if you look at the entire galaxy, there are very few civilizations that are as obsessed with the transformation of the parent galaxy as we are. If it is not that the magnificent miracle is too huge, they are very happy to transfer It is housed in the Museum of Old Cosmic Civilization...but unfortunately, the last thing left is only a trivial memory."

Lu Zhou: "...It's really a pity."

"That's right," General Reinhardt sighed softly, "The miracle we have created over the centuries has been burned by our own hands in less than a century. And this is the most heartbreaking part, it finally Not by the hands of natural disasters, but by our own expansion."

As he said that, General Reinhardt withdrew his gaze from the ceiling, looked at Lu Zhou, and said in a meaningful tone.

"So, if you can learn a little lesson from our history, maybe this will be a far more valuable asset than technology."

Nodding thoughtfully, Lu Zhou said solemnly.

"I will remember your advice."

"It's advice, but it's not really enough," General Reinhardt smiled, and continued, "Besides, history has its own inertia, and some things are beyond our control."

After he paused for a moment, General Reinhardt suddenly changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about that. Speaking of which, have you finished your research? I feel that you have completely copied the electronic version of the entire warp drive. If it doesn't work, you can copy it like a gourd."

Hearing this speech without common sense, Lu Zhou shook his head.

"...It's not as simple as you said. Even with the exact same blueprints, it's hard to make the same thing with the industrial foundation of the earth's civilization. I have to understand the principles here, and then choose alternative materials , and then find a way to imitate a similar one.”

"You guys are really troublesome."

"No way, it's not just history, the development of science and technology also has its own inertia, and advanced research will inevitably encounter resistance." With a helpless expression, Lu Zhou returned his sight to the holographic model in his hand, and continued, "Wait just a little longer, I'm pretty close to the final part."

"Well, I shouldn't have asked that," General Reinhardt said with a sigh. "25 hours and 21 minutes ago, that's how you put it on me."

"I'm very sorry."

"It's nothing, you don't have to be sorry, I don't care about this insignificant time. Besides, this is actually good." After a pause, General Reinhardt, who stood in the holographic beam, suddenly said meaningfully, "Wait for you After the research is over, the outside world should also decide the winner."

Lu Zhou: "...?"
