Volume 14: Devastation Chapter 679 Another Colonial Ship?
Several soldiers from the 776 Special Forces Team had already started arguing, but Ke Lan, who was in the "Super Dream" state, fell into deep thought.
The fact is already obvious - the people who built this relic, or in other words, this "Engine No. 92", were not Alpha people, but Earthlings... and they were not the Earthlings who came to Alpha on the Ark.
In addition to the crew of the Ark, there is another group of Earthlings on Alpha?
Could it be that there is another colony ship?
The Second Ark?!
Could this engine be the engine of a super colony ship? This colony ship arrived at Alpha Planet earlier than the Ark, and then crashed on this planet?
As for those humanoid monsters sealed in the hibernation capsules...are they actually real earthlings, but they chose to hibernate in order to survive the long interstellar journey?
No...that's not right.
Logically speaking, this guess is correct, but from a realistic perspective, it does not hold up to scrutiny.
Not to mention the probability that the second colony ship could land on the same planet as the Ark, just talking about the possibility of the second colony ship existing, Ke Lan felt that it was almost non-existent.
The construction of Noah's Ark and the stargate used to accelerate the Ark almost emptied the available resources of the entire solar system. As for the human homeland, the Earth and the Moon, they suffered irreversible damage - in order to extract "helium-3" from the lunar soil, almost one-third of the mass of the entire moon was dug out.
The price of doing so is that the moon's gravitational pull on the earth decreases... the tides weaken, and the rise and fall of the sea water also weakens, which directly leads to rising sea levels. A large number of coastal cities are completely submerged, and some low-lying island countries are even removed from the list.
In order to build Noah's Ark, many people died from the secondary disasters caused by the construction plan, and more people lost their homes and property and became displaced. The war that broke out because of opposition to the Ark plan lasted on Earth for a full twenty years, and the number of people who died at the gunpoint during this period far exceeded the number of people who died from these disasters.
Great people are willing to sacrifice themselves to preserve the flame of civilization for mankind , but the vast majority of people are not great people.
Hundreds of millions of people watched helplessly as a colony ship that they had no chance of boarding was slowly being built. The cost of its construction was the homes, properties ... The despair and resentment were so pale that it is hard to describe them with words... Even the army suppressing the resistance experienced large-scale defections.
Many times, people thought that the Ark Project was going to fail, and that the human race would perish along with their home planet... But fortunately, Noah's Ark was finally completed before the sun completely decayed into a red giant, and it embarked on a journey with no return date and no end in sight.
As for the " vast majority ... about 90% stayed on Earth, which was in chaos and war at the time. The remaining 10% boarded the engineering ships and resource-gathering ships used to build the Ark, and relying on the little remaining energy from the star gate, they headed out of the solar system, trying to find a planet in a nearby star field that could be colonized by humans.
That is a tragic history that humans are still reluctant to mention.
It is impossible for the people who remain on Earth to build a second ark, as the remaining resources and time left for them are totally insufficient.
If this relic is the engine of a super colony ship, then judging from the size of the engine, the scale of this colony ship will definitely not be smaller than Noah's Ark - it will only be larger than the Ark, and much larger.
After all, the number of this engine is "No. 92", and there are at least ninety-one such engines.
When ninety-two such engines are stacked together, the propulsion force generated is extremely terrifying, even the output of Noah's Ark at full speed cannot be compared to it.
As for those who escaped the solar system on small ships, Ke Lan did not think they could survive - the engines and energy reserves of those small ships could not be compared with the Ark. Being able to sail out of the solar system was already their limit, but humans had already observed and searched the star regions around the solar system countless times and had not found a planet where humans could survive.
Moreover, with the personnel configuration and main brain database on those small ships, even if they could survive, they would not be able to build a super colony ship like Noah's Ark in a short period of time.
This "short time" refers to within a thousand years.
So the question is... since it is impossible for Earthlings anywhere other than the Ark to build a colony ship of this size, how did this "engine" with traces of Earth everywhere appear on Alpha?
Why would the Undead Crew send out special forces team after team to blow up these engines?
What are they trying to hide?
