"Interesting."
Standing in the spacecraft, General Reinhardt, whose whole body was composed of holographic light and shadow, was looking up at the chandelier on the ceiling. However, judging from the focus of his pupils, he did not seem to be looking at the ceiling. Instead, he seemed to be staring at a certain place on the planet through the spaceship and the rock stratum that was more than ten kilometers deep.
Lu Zhou stopped playing with the holographic model and cast a curious look at General Reinhardt, who was looking up at the ceiling.
"What's interesting?"
"Nothing, you don't have to worry about it …" General Reinhardt continued in a chatty tone, "There seems to be a fight outside."
Fight?
What the hell?
Hearing General Reinhardt's answer, Lu Zhou was even more confused.
"Fight?"
"Yeah …" General Reinhardt said thoughtfully, "It seems to be a big commotion … But compared with my hometown, it's still far from the scale."
Even now, the memory of that final battle was still fresh in his heart.
The cannons of the imperial fleet razed all the mountains, rivers, and endless farmland to the ground. The rich agricultural planet became a lava world raging with magma in an instant. The last defensive force of the Revolutionary Army collapsed in an instant.
Now that he thought about it, it was a miracle that he was able to escape from there and drift to the center of the universe according to the guidance of the "Oracle".
Seeing that this guy seemed to be in a nostalgic mood, Lu Zhou didn't know how to respond for a while. However, he could understand what this fellow meant by 'small fights'.
After all, compared with the size of the Calan Empire, the Earth civilization, which was still in its infancy, was too small. Even in the largest war in human history, the scale of the battlefield was only at the planetary level.
Looking at the holographic model floating in his hand, Lu Zhou suddenly asked after thinking for a long time.
"Speaking of which, can you perceive the outside world?"
"Do you mean the world on the surface of Mars?" Reinhardt smiled faintly. "It's not difficult. Otherwise, how do you think I spent billions of years?"
Lu Zhou suddenly remembered the memory of the Martian civilization he saw when he was in frozen dormancy. It was also at this moment that he realized that he seemed to have asked a very stupid question.
"I don't understand, how did you do it?"
"Through the analysis of a series of factors such as electromagnetic waves, planetary gravitational distribution changes, geothermal temperature … Many things don't necessarily have to be seen with the eyes. You can also hear with the ears or feel with the heart."
When General Reinhardt said this, his voice carried a trace of arrogance unique to a higher civilization. Although that feeling was faint, it could still be easily read from the changes in his facial expression.
Even though it was a blue-skinned humanoid "alien" standing in the holographic beam, Lu Zhou still couldn't understand it.
"It seems that the functions on this spacecraft are more powerful than I thought." Lu Zhou looked around the minimalistic cabin and said thoughtfully, "At least the sensor part has exceeded my imagination. Just through some simple changes in the parameters, we can infer that a … military conflict is happening above our heads. "
"Of course. Electromagnetic waves transmit not only information, but also human emotions." General Reinhardt smiled faintly and continued without any change in his expression, "A group of people rushing angrily to another group of people, venting each other's anger with electromagnetic artillery shells and explosives … Tsk tsk, it's so similar."
For some reason, this sentence was too similar. It made Lu Zhou feel an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
He had a feeling that something extraordinary must have happened on the surface while he was away.
Space pirates attacking the colony?
That's impossible …
How could there be such a powerful air pirate?
In his impression, the "pirate ships" that were active in the asteroid belt were at most robbing mining stations, intercepting transport ships, and so on. If they dared to touch the colony, the cannons of the First Fleet would teach them a lesson.
Just as he was thinking about what was going on outside, General Reinhardt, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly spoke.
"Speaking of which, in the memory of the Void, you have seen my memories of the Empire, right?"
"Yes … In my memory, it is a very beautiful place."
Whether it was the endless ring world or the border planet full of beautiful scenery, if Lu Zhou had to find an example as a standard for Utopia, it was probably the limit of his imagination.
General Reinhardt smiled and continued, "Thank you for your compliment.
"Thank you for your compliment. I also think that it's a beautiful place. I've been drifting here from a galaxy in the old universe for a longer time than time, but I still haven't found a place that's comparable to it."
"Later, I learned from The Observer that even in the entire galaxy, few civilizations are as obsessed with the transformation of their home galaxy as we are. If it weren't for the fact that the magnificent miracle was too huge, they would be very happy to include it in the Museum of the Old Universe … But unfortunately, only an insignificant memory was retained in the end. "
Lu Zhou: "It's a pity."
"Yes." General Reinhardt sighed softly, "We used centuries to create a miracle, and in less than a century, we burned it with our own hands. And this is also the most heartbreaking part. In the end, it was not destroyed by the hands of the catastrophe, but by our own arrogance. "
General Reinhardt withdrew his gaze from the ceiling and looked at Lu Zhou. He spoke 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."
Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully and spoke solemnly.
He continued, "I will remember your advice."
"It's not really advice." General Reinhardt smiled and continued, "Besides, history has its own inertia, and some things are beyond our control."
General Reinhardt paused for a moment. He suddenly changed the topic.
"Let's not talk about this. Speaking of which, have you finished your research? I feel like you have completely copied the entire warp drive engine into an electronic version. If it really doesn't work, you can just copy it and make a copy. "
Lu Zhou shook his head.
"It's not as simple as you say. Even if I have the exact same blueprint, it is difficult to build the exact same thing with the industrial foundation of the earth civilization. I must understand the principle, then choose materials that can be substituted, and find a way to copy a similar one. "
"You guys are really troublesome."
"I can't help it. It's not just history. The development of science and technology also has its own inertia. Advanced research will inevitably encounter resistance." With a helpless expression, Lu Zhou put his gaze back on the holographic model in his hand and continued, "Just wait a little longer, I'm very close to the last part."
"Well, I shouldn't have asked." General Reinhardt sighed and said, "25 hours and 21 minutes ago, you said this to me."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, you don't have to be sorry. I don't care about this insignificant amount of time. Besides, this is actually good. "After a pause, General Reinhardt, who was standing in the holographic beam, suddenly said meaningfully," When you finish your research, the outcome should be decided outside. "
Lu Zhou: "…?"
