Resurrection Empire

"They found the escape ship before its radioactive reserve battery ran out and provided new energy. At this time, only a small part of the millions of frozen sleep chambers failed due to lack of power. They thawed it first A small number of people. Including me.”

"They call themselves Zero, and they don't shy away from destroying human civilization on earth. They explained their motives for destroying mankind to me and other people who woke up at the same time. Although we were angry, we didn't even have the thought or courage to accuse them. .”

"If you think about it from another perspective, if human beings had just experienced such a demise, when they discovered another hidden danger, if they had the ability, they would definitely choose to strike first. Just like the war between humans and epidemics in history. If viruses also have intelligence, then the vaccines and antibiotics developed by humans are weapons used to reduce dimensionality and attack and destroy another race. Humanity used its own weapons to destroy smallpox, which is a real case. And the mutation and escape of viruses are viral civilization The way of struggle. In a sense, although Zerro destroyed mankind, he helped mankind leave the fire by saving the escape ship, which was kind enough. At least that's how we looked at it at the time."

The city lord still said eloquently, "In the end, we chose to believe in Zheluo."

"But you actually have no choice but to believe and obey." The young girl interrupted, "The strength of the two sides is completely disproportionate."

The young girl seemed to be making corrections, but it sounded like she also believed the city lord's story.

The city lord hummed, "Yes. And many years later, I realized that Zerro had been playing and deceiving us from the beginning. We once thought that Zerro had a special meaning in the other party's language, but we later learned that, This is taken from the ancient language that was popular in ancient times on earth. The so-called Zero means zero, which is zero. This zero has two meanings, one of which is 'meaningless', and the other may also represent Zero. The highest level of technology we possess—return to zero.”

Childish girl: "What is zeroing?"

City Lord: "Let me tell you in order."

Girl: "Okay, sorry. You continue."

City Lord: "When we first woke up, Zerro did not reveal how he planned to resettle humans. My companions and I were still in panic all day long. We already knew that we were the last survivors of humanity."

"It took the earth billions of years to experience countless disasters, and countless creatures to undergo countless complex evolutions, before finally condensing the intelligent race of primate humans. We are so lucky and so strong. We We had the opportunity to leave a lasting mark in the universe, but in the end we were forced to face the fate of destruction. All of this was just a thought of Zheluo. We are both afraid of this and unwilling to do so."

Listening to the city lord talking about the past in a calm tone, Zhongnu and Taihong couldn't help but feel that they were involved in that scene, and they didn't know how to treat it.

"After a long period of thinking, we decided to take the initiative. No matter what, we cannot let humanity on earth perish. Even if we live without dignity, we must live. Only when everyone is alive can there be hope. Therefore, we choose to surrender. Complete surrender. We gave up our personality and even forgot our own names. We offered our most sincere loyalty to Zheluo and took the initiative to ask the other party, "Is there anything that humans can do to help? Just let us Live, we all do'."

"But this played into Zheluo's hands. Our racial sentiments were completely seen through. If we took the initiative, the bottom line would be lowered. This is also a truth that I realized later. At that time, we were dominated by fear and committed crimes. We made this huge mistake. At that time, none of us realized that since Zerro chose to save the escape ship, he originally wanted something for the human race on earth. We should have been able to exchange for a slightly better life for mankind with an attitude of sharing the same fate. A little bit of a situation. In short, I want to say sorry to you. We failed to seize the opportunity and made all mankind pay the price. You two are actually victims of our mistakes."

Taihong and Zongnu gradually became silent. The two of them realized more and more clearly that the city lord's story was probably true. The city lord's apology is also true.

"After that, Zheluo told us not to be anxious. We should continue to undergo cryonics first, and then just wait with peace of mind. They will arrange a place for humans and find a new home."

"When I woke up again, I had crossed a distance of at least one billion light years and arrived at the Gupan Galaxy located on the Sloan Great Wall. At that time, I thought that Zheluo just randomly chose an elliptical galaxy as the new home of mankind. You know, everything is the most insidious calculation. The Gupan Galaxy is the closest to the Milky Way. Its size, structure, gravitational environment, planetary distribution, and star characteristics all perfectly meet Zheluo’s needs. At that time, their Zeroing can only perfectly cover small elliptical galaxies like the Ancient Disk Galaxy.”

"After that, Zheluo awakened all the remaining survivors. Among them, more than 200,000 frozen sleep chambers failed to thaw due to various reasons, but Zheluo thought this was harmless. The remaining population of nearly 800,000 had already It is enough to help humans repopulate and become a complete civilization. Zerro did not let us land on the Source Star immediately, but chose another nearby galaxy. Zerro gave us the naming rights of the star cluster. After discussion, I took In the ancient history of the earth, the Southern Song Dynasty was in a corner, but it wanted to remind itself not to forget its homeland, so it was named Nanxiang Star Cluster, and then it began to name many planetary systems in the Nanxiang Star Cluster according to the ancient galaxy naming rules. .”

"Finally, Zheluo built a small planet equipped with a gravity engine near Planet C in the Nanjiu Galaxy. In order to create this small planet, Zheluo extracted a large number of structures on Nanjiu C to make the planet It turned into an olive shape. We witnessed on the spacecraft the process of Jero using a force field to extract planetary material and then build an asteroid."

"After that, humans began to multiply on the surface of this asteroid. After ten generations, about two to three hundred years, the human population on Earth returned to 30 million people. Zerro told us that we can go to the Source Star and become a A real civilization. But Zheluo said that they are curious about the evolutionary process of human beings on earth, so they want to watch human beings on earth start from scratch."

"I didn't dare to object. I just asked Zheluo what should be done. Zheluo showed me a group of apes. I don't know how Zheluo did it, but the result was that they changed human genes and reversed human evolution. The process, in just ten generations, caused a group of people to degenerate back to the ape-men of ancient times. These apes are almost identical to the human ancestors recorded in ancient books, it is like... going back in time."

"Zheluo told me that I can only take this group of ape-men to the Source Star. The others will continue to be frozen and used as hostages. They will not be truly free until the new humans starting from the ape-men complete their scientific experiments. .”

"I still have no choice but to be at their mercy."

Childish Girl: "Then you took the apes to the Source Star?"

City Lord: "Not just me, but also dozens of my companions at the time, that is, the small group of people who were thawed at the beginning. Our positions are all administrators. Before setting off, we tentatively talked with Zheluo I negotiated the conditions once and succeeded. It turns out that Zerro has a very great need for human beings. Zerro cares about human emotions very much. Human emotions contain the treasures that Zerro needs. Unfortunately, this is what I realized later. The truth is clear."
