Marvel–Immortal Path - Chapter 511
Scorpio, a red superstar.
The crimson fireball floats in the black curtain like void, continuously throwing stellar matter into the cosmic vacuum. The fire red ring beats the nonexistent enemy like a whip.
Noise, rage.
The red superstar roared in solitude and never stopped for a moment,
The stellar system it governs has four planets in ancient times, but most of them have long been swallowed up by the expanding volume of the red supergiant, turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
The whole star system, only the last planet is still holding on.
The last survivor is extremely lucky. For hundreds of millions of years, it has been hanging on the outermost edge of the stellar system. It is the seventh planet in the stellar system,
Before, because it didn’t get enough light and heat, its surface was covered with thick ice and dead,
Until the red supergiant began to expand, it continued to emit deadly heat along the way, burning the planets it used to care for to ashes.
The third planet once had a more developed civilization capable of preliminary space exploration. Unfortunately, before they carried out large-scale cosmic exploration, a very intense stellar activity broke out in the red supergiant.
The civilization on the fourth planet ended in a hundred years of extreme heat. At the last moment of their life, they concentrated the power of the whole civilization and launched countless colonial spacecraft to the seventh planet in the star system.
These colonial ships headed for the target. Because they were in a hurry, most of them crashed, the surviving colonial ships also caused irreversible damage, and many electronic devices lost their effectiveness.
The survivors wake up from the freezing cabin. They are the most elite and qualified elites in the old era. They have to rebuild civilization even in the face of despair.
They set up a stronghold centered on the spaceship, collected all useful materials, struggled to survive on the pale ice sheet, and continuously sent exploration teams abroad to try to find other colonial ships.
Science and technology have irreversibly regressed. The extremely cold conditions have made the kindling of civilization erratic. The original story of the colonial team has been ignored.
Until ten thousand years later, the red superstar is approaching, the ice sheet melts, gathers into the ocean and exposes the land.
The new civilization began to expand rapidly. They excavated the original colonial ships from all over the world, relied on the remaining science and technology and biological samples, climbed and developed again, and sowed other creatures on this dead planet.
Ten thousand years later, the scientific and technological level of the new civilization has exceeded that of the old civilization. Their astronomers were surprised to find that the red supergiant did not stop expanding, and the new parent star will turn into coke under the continuous burning of stars.
The planet’s temperature is getting higher and higher, the ocean evaporates, and the vegetation dries up. Like its predecessors, the new civilization concentrates all its efforts on the development of interstellar colonization.
However, the star system dominated by red supergiant is too lonely,
The nearest habitable planet in other star systems is at least 4 light-years away.
Without the superluminal engine, it is impossible for a new civilization to escape.
The desperate new civilization began to dig caves underground, establish bases, collect materials and life samples, and build underground space silos.
What they are doing as like as two peas in the old civilization, and according to the astronomical figures, there is only about one thousand years left in the new civilization. After that, the climate outside the planet is no longer suitable for launching the aircraft again.
The underground environment is undoubtedly much more difficult, and what’s worse, despair is spreading,
The destruction of the old civilization was made up of religious stories, extreme religious propaganda became more and more intense, and even began to interfere with the regime of the base and the aerospace industry.
“If destruction is God’s will, then we should not resist.”
Religious figures took charge of power, wreaked havoc on the space industry and persecuted intellectuals,
A few rational scientists can only lurk everywhere and spread the fire of civilization in the dark.
As the millennium time limit approaches, there is a fierce conflict between religious people who are crazy about self destruction and the inheritors of civilization who are trying to escape the desperate situation,
Finally, the light and heat of the red superstar reached the critical point, the heat began to flow along the rock stratum, and the panic spread again.
According to the prophecy of the “prophets” thousands of years ago, the survivors of the underground world will gradually die within a hundred years, and the fire of civilization will be extinguished in the depths of the earth and no one knows it anymore.
For other civilizations in the universe, those people and things are like they never existed.
Under the desperate situation, countless moving legends are staged one by one on the narrow stage of the underground world,
The continuation of civilization, the great righteousness of race, the Secularity of religion, the competition between sensibility and rationality, the thinking of the meaning of life, nobility and despicability, wisdom and ignorance, courage and cowardice,
Everything is performed incisively and vividly.
Until now, this epic Elegy of civilization has been forcibly interrupted.
A group of strange people in strange clothes arrived at the underground base from the surface along the elevator shaft sealed by religious people.
They quickly subdued the religious fanatics who planned to annihilate them and found the leaders of rational scientists who could communicate.
“Hello, we are the alpha Street police station in the Scorpio Star area of the Earth Federation. I am the film policeman in this star area. You can call me Logan.”
Wearing the uniform of the earth federal army, Wolverine Logan, with the help of his personal intelligence, said to the survivors in a round local accent.
“Ah?”
The leader of the survivors, a kind-hearted old man in his eighties, was stunned.
“Police, police understand?”
Logan chewed his cigar and pulled his uniform. He explained impatiently: “our main responsibility is to prevent, stop and investigate illegal and criminal activities, maintain social order and stop acts endangering social order.
If a low-level civilization in a star area falls into an irreversible impasse, we will also help as appropriate.
Of course, the rescue process needs to go through strict procedures. We need to examine the orderliness of your civilization, the morality of your race, and many other factors – of course, the most important thing is whether you are in line with human aesthetics. ”
“…” the old man was speechless and choked. If we don’t look like people on earth, we will be directly ignored by you, right?
Wolverine continued: “your civilization, in the last era, once launched a man-made satellite to the outer planet, which carried a lot of information about your civilization.
The man-made satellite flew to the outside world at a very slow speed. After ten thousand years, it was finally captured by the automatic sentry tower of our Earth Federation. Knowing your existence, it rushed over.
As a result, ten thousand years later, your old civilization has been destroyed and your new civilization is in jeopardy. As a result, I, a retired community policeman who is ready to spend my life in this bird shit Star District, personally stepped out to save you from water and fire. ”
“Save?”
The old man suddenly grasped the end of this sentence, grabbed the Wolverine’s palm with great excitement and shook it desperately, “really? Can you really save the planet?”
“No, I said that you little Comrade are so rough and hurried. Although I’m just a film policeman, I thought I talked and laughed with the federal president at the beginning. Do you understand?”
Logan spits out a smoke ring impatiently. The Wolverine has several more circles than the old man in terms of physical age,
“The planet has entered the burning orbit of the red superstar. It has heatstroke and has no rescue value. The above meaning is to make it into a braised bamboo mouse. Cough, no, it is a scientific research base for some dangerous experiments.
Now, if you have no opinion, you can sign this demolition compensation, and we will give you a new life planet and the materials needed to rebuild civilization. ”
Wolverine took out a crumpled, wine stained document from his arms and patted it on the old man’s chest. The latter was at a loss, “… What’s the situation…”
“Don’t you understand?” Logan rolled his eyes. “You welcome the demolition!”
