its 318: Contact with sacred civilization
"What, is the sacred civilization you mentioned the ancient civilization of your Red Earth Star?" Cheng Xingxing asked tentatively.
"No." Yalian shook her head in the virtual, "It's the civilization of a distant unknown alien planet, so we call it a sacred civilization. Let's talk about the details when we meet.
After turning off the virtual screen, the star couldn't help thinking about it. Before long, Arlene came to his room and asked with a smile, "You must be full of curiosity about our civilization, right?"
"Yes." Cheng Xingxing smiled and said, "Everyone has a sense of curiosity. In fact, from the beginning when I saw the 'mji', I thought of the spaceship.
"That's true." Yalian nodded, "When their spacecraft passed our planet, it broke down. The emergency landing failed, and the last one was inserted into the ground. All of them died, but the computers were still running, affecting the whole era at that time in various ways. It was from that time that it was called a 'mise' by our ancient ancestors. Since then, our technology has developed rapidly under its influence and finally formed the current scale. So we are still willing to call that civilization a 'sacred civilization', and still call the wreckage of the spacecraft a 'mise', and regard them as the gods we believe in in our hearts.
"A race that knows how to be grateful." Cheng Xing sighed. This kind of spirit is rare on the earth. People have forgotten to be grateful, but only decide who to please and alienate according to the needs of reality.
"But... their technology is so powerful. Why hasn't a second spaceship come to the Red Earth after so long?" The star asked puzzledly.
"This problem has been studied by countless scholars, and the opinion of most scholars is that their spacecraft did not come here by space flight." Yalian said, "They should have come here through time and space by relying on the power of the key of time and space. Therefore, the sacred civilization may not be the civilization of the plane universe where we are, or although they are in the same universe as us, they are countless distant distances.
"What do you mean..." Cheng Xing was shocked. "You mean, they brought those seven keys?"
"Yes." Arlene smiled, "It's them who made these keys."
"Oh, my God..." Cheng Xing was speechless. He didn't know what to say. The origin of the magical thing such as the key of time and space finally appeared in front of him, but he felt so unreal.
"Do you want to know more about the sacred civilization? If you want, I can take you to really visit the miracle. Yalian asked.
"Of course it's the best!" It is urgent to become a star. People's curiosity is so strange. If you encounter such a strange thing, you will feel uncomfortable if you don't figure it out.
Yalian quickly took Cheng Mingxing out of the No. 1 scientific research institute, got on a suspended car, and went to the elevator to the ground. Not long after, the two took the elevator to the bottom of the miracle. Yuefeng greeted them and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
"Mr. Cheng Xingxing wants to know about the sacred civilization." Arlene explained with a smile.
"That's the most appropriate for you to explain." Yuefeng nodded, "You are a recognized fan of sacred civilization."
"Laughing." Yalian smiled.
After crossing a passage, she walked along a ladder for a while and came to a small door. Yalian pressed the switch, opened the door, and walked in with Cheng Xingxing.
The inside is obviously different from the outside. There are dots of rust on the old walls, and the decoration style is also very different from the red civilization. Cheng Ming found that although the room was small, it was very high and wide. Then he immediately realized that this was a room with a 90-degree tilt, which should be the cabin of the spaceship.
"Because the spaceship was inserted upside down into the ground, the room was slanted." Yalian explained, "At first, we added a lot of auxiliary devices in these rooms, but later, after several generations of efforts, we have developed weightless devices, so that we don't have to rely on those auxiliary devices."
With that, she handed a piece of something like a watch to the star, motioned the star to wear it on her wrist, and then guided the star to press a button.
Cheng Xingxing immediately felt that his body had become extremely light and slowly floated. Although he had seen this state on TV, he had not experienced it himself and was more or less uncomfortable. But Yalian quickly started her own device and floated with Cheng Xingxing. Under her guidance, Cheng Xingxing could slowly swim around the room.
"It's wonderful." Cheng Xing sighed, "We can also simulate the state of space weightlessness, but that requires special huge devices, and it is to make weightless cabins, not weightless. Your technology is well developed."
"How long did it take you to make that kind of thing?" Alian asked casually. Cheng Xingxing could hear that she was a little proud. No wonder anyone would be like this. When he knew that his country was more civilized than the other party, he couldn't help but be secretly happy, and the national self-esteem and pride arose spontaneously.
"I don't know." Cheng Xingxing grinned with embarrassment, "But maybe... It should be a matter of decades to say more, right?"
"How many decades?" Arlene was surprised.
Cheng Xingxing blushed with embarrassment: "Well, I'm not sure. In casual words, it should actually be shorter, right?"
"Shorter?" Yalian was even more surprised, "Oh, my God, what kind of brain do you earthlings have! It took us three hundred years to develop this weightless device in order to walk in miracles conveniently. You are... incredible!"
"Ah? Three hundred years?" Cheng Xingxing was stunned, "The history of the leapfrog development of human science and technology is not that long!"
"To make an example." Yalian asked eagerly, "Can you make an example? For example, can you tell me about the development process of some of your scientific and technological products?
"This..." Cheng Xingxing thought about it and couldn't think of anything, but suddenly he had an idea: "We learned the history of the development of electronic computers in the information technology class. The first one was built in 1945. The guy covered an area of more than 500 square meters and was too cumbersome. Later, that is, in 1956. Transistor electronic computers appeared, and a few larger cabinets could install it. Later, it seemed that in 1959, integrated circuit computers appeared, and in 1976, large-scale integrated circuits appeared. Up to now... I can't say. Anyway, there are so many computers, and they are quite strong. Yes, a computer as big as a small book doesn't get stuck at all when playing 3D games.
"1976, 1945?" Yalian looked at the star in a star, "In thirty-one years, a high-tech product can fly over four stages? Oh, my God, I... I really can't believe it... Are you human beings on earth humans or gods!"
"This..." Cheng Xingxing grinned and was a little embarrassed. "Isn't that strange?"
"But our electronic computers have only evolved from the first stage to the second stage, which has taken almost two hundred years!" Arlene shouted excitedly.
"Isn't it?" Cheng Xingxing was really surprised this time, "Your technological development... is so slow?"
"How can your science and technology develop so fast?" Arien was more surprised than him.
Cheng Xingxing scratched his head: "This... may be the reason for different races and different brain structures? Or is it because of personality? Well, we have a science fiction novel called "Three Body", but we have talked about this possibility.
"It's wonderful." Arlene couldn't help sighing. I really want to have a look at your place. Oh, my God, a race that can make great changes in the world in just a few decades... In a few decades, I think your technology will surpass us now! By the way, did you just say that your history of modern science and technology has not been developed for 300 years?
"I don't know much about this." Cheng Xingxing scratched his head and said, "Anyway, it seems that the first steam engine has been successfully manufactured in more than 17 years. Now the time of the earth is 2021, and there are space shuttles, rockets and so on. The United States seems to have launched all the probes to Mars..."
"Oh, my God!" Yalian exclaimed, "It took only more than 200 years to find out that it was like this? It's terrible! You...you are still in space?"
"Ah." Cheng Xingxing nodded and looked around: "You should have been able to build such a spaceship long ago, right? Don't you want to explore space?
"None." Alian shook her head, "This is the bottleneck of our race. We are underground creatures, inseparable from the warm underground magma and the core of the red planet, so not to mention space, we don't even want to come to the ground often. And... This technology is really impractical. Instead of spending time flying into space, it's better to study more space-time transfer. If we conquer this technology, we can reach the planet where any civilization is located at will. Why do we have to travel through dangerous space? Just enjoy that dangerous and beautiful place with an observation telescope.
"What a strange planet..." Cheng star couldn't help muttering again.
"Let's go. Let me show you the main cabin of the miracle." Yalian pulled into a star and floated towards a door, which obviously also had an automatic sensing device. As soon as the two approached, it automatically opened.
After floating through several rooms and several corridors, the two came to a huge hall. On the ceiling of the hall, there was a huge machine composed of countless pipes, circuits, and several metals of different shapes. In the center was a smooth and crystal ball.
"This is the computer of the spacecraft." Yalian pointed to the huge machine above and said. Originally, it should have been flat in front of us, but because the spacecraft was upside down, so..."
Before she finished, the sound of wire igniting came, and then there was a rustling electronic sound. Then, the whole hall suddenly lit up, and the light source came from the square lights all over the original ceiling and walls.
"Elemental analysis coincides..." A voice between the electronic sound and the human voice echoed in the hall. "Identity cannot be confirmed... Space-time barrier analysis... Gene chain analysis... Cell composition analysis... The comprehensive result is a starfish creature, which belongs to human beings."
"Welcome, my compatriots." A gentle female voice with an electronic sound sounded.
"Ah?" Yalian and Cheng Xingxing were stunned.
