Volume 3 Chapter 113 Long Live Humanity
The diameter of this oasis area is about one hundred astronomical units.
This place has not been infected by disorder and filth, and is considered one of the few oasis areas in the entire galactic center that has not been infected.
But as time goes by, there will be fewer and fewer places like this in Yinxin.
The so-called astronomical unit refers to the average distance from the earth to the sun, which is one astronomical unit.
One hundred astronomical units is roughly equal to 16 thousandths of a light year.
It is extremely small in the universe.
But the distance from the Sun to Pluto is only forty astronomical units.
So this range is large enough for an intelligent race to survive on the planet.
The oasis of one hundred astronomical units that appeared in front of Lin Xu belonged to the territory of a star.
There are two planets orbiting this star.
The continuous communication signals were sent from one of the planets.
The content of the signal was very simple. It was constantly broadcasting to the surroundings that this place was surrounded by disorder and filth, and at the same time requiring the remaining intelligent life to retreat to the last stronghold.
"The final stronghold? Is that the planet?" Lin Xu looked at the deciphered communication signal thoughtfully.
As expected, the one who sent the signal should be the human race. This can be seen from the way the signal is encoded and the nanorobots that can be seen everywhere in this oasis at this time.
It can even be said that it is the nanorobots surrounding the galaxy that are fighting against the erosion of disorder and filth, thus protecting the galaxy.
Although a random outbreak of disorder and filth would be enough to wipe out this small resistance, fortunately, there has been no outbreak of disorder and filth in this area until now.
“Could this be the defense node that was once engulfed by disordered filth? But it’s been so long, and it’s still holding on?” Nanzhu’s voice was also full of disbelief.
The Great Wall of the Galaxy is not just a line of defense surrounding the galactic center, but also has defense nodes extending into the galactic center.
However, as time went by, these defense nodes were either abandoned or swallowed up by disorder and filth before they could be abandoned.
The one in front of him clearly belonged to the latter, and it was swallowed up before he could even discard it.
But no one would have thought that this defense node, after being swallowed by the disordered filth, was not destroyed but survived.
"Let's go and take a look and then we'll know." Lin Xu decided.
So the spacecraft flew towards the planet that was constantly sending out signals, and soon arrived above the planet.
Lin Xu looked down at the red planet below with violent hurricanes and flying sand as the spacecraft descended towards the surface of the planet.
Soon they arrived at the location where the signal was sent, a huge interstellar base built with nanorobots as building materials.
Large pieces of steel cover the red planet, making it extremely conspicuous and eye-catching.
When several people jumped off the spaceship, the spaceship had already been put into Lin Xu's personal space.
At the same time, Lin Xu released a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates parked on the earth in his portable space. Some of them patrolled the base, while the other part flew into the sky to check another planet in the galaxy.
Although no signals were sent from that planet, necessary exploration is still necessary, otherwise what if something was missed?
Lin Xu then brought Miss Qiu, Nanzhu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao, a group of five, into this huge interstellar base.
Although he couldn't find the door for a while, it was very easy for Lin Xu to get in.
The building materials made up of nanorobots cannot stop him in any way.
Lin Xu only needed a thought, and the rough steel wall in front of him turned directly into liquid nanorobots, opening the door for Lin Xu.
Lin Xu walked straight in, and then the nanorobots behind him turned back into walls.
Just like that, there is no need to walk through the corridors and explore slowly.
Lin Xu went straight forward. All the walls he encountered along the way were directly transformed into nanorobots, opening the way forward for Lin Xu. Lin Xu and a few others swaggered all the way into the core area of the base.
Along the way, Lin Xu saw all kinds of chaotic scenes in the base, various instruments fallen to the ground, and broken bottles and jars.
Even after thousands of years of erosion, some traces are still left, showing the haste and panic of people evacuating when chaos suddenly struck this place.
Unfortunately, it is obvious that not everyone has successfully evacuated, otherwise there would not be continuous signals sending out, asking intelligent life to gather here.
"Look at the decoration style, it looks like our fairy fox tribe." Nanzhu observed the surrounding scenery along the way, poking the broken bottles and jars on the ground from time to time.
"This pendant belongs to our human immortal clan." Mu Xiyue said as she picked up a jade pendant from the ground.
"Why are the ornaments of your human immortal clan so murderous? Are they engraved with either a sword or a knife? Look how cute ours are." Nanzhu said proudly, holding a half-full test tube and shaking it in front of Mu Xiyue.
I saw two hollow fox ears carved on half of the test tube.
"How much do you like your ears and tails? You want to decorate the flying boat with ears and the test tubes with ears." Mu Xiyue said speechlessly.
"But the Pangu tribe just likes our ears and tails. What's the problem? If you believe it, ask Lord Lin Xu. He always stares at my tail." Nanzhu said proudly.
"Hehe, how could I?" Lin Xu quickly denied it.
"Lord Lin Xu, you must be very tired after being in a high-dimensional state these days. Do you want to have a good sleep and rest for a while? Why not sleep with my tail as a pillow? It's very comfortable. I usually like to hug it when I sleep." Nanzhu poked Lin Xu's arm with his fingers, and said with a smile, his fox ears twitching.
"This seems like something worth a try." Lin Xu admitted that he was tempted.
"Master, you have revealed your inner thoughts." Miss Qiu complained.
Passing through the walls all the way, the huge base was soon cleared.
However, there were some minor incidents during the period, such as some plasma bombs that fell to the ground and were ready to go off.
It has been thousands of years, and it is still in a state of being ready to be stimulated.
After being touched by a few more people, it exploded immediately.
One can only sigh at the technological level of the human family back then.
However, this level is not even a threat to the people in front of them.
The plasma from the exploding plasma bomb had not yet landed on Lin Xu's body, but was repelled one meter around him by the repulsive field automatically generated by the nanorobots on his body.
The rest of the people are similar.
Mu Xiyue casually blasted a plasma bomb that was about to be triggered away with a sword energy, creating a big hole in the wall.
"Hey, this is our base after all. How can you destroy it? That's so rude." Nanzhu started yelling.
He even jumped in front of Lin Xu and continued yelling.
"Master Lin Xu, she is so rude. I suggest that she be deprived of the right to massage you next time. I will do it instead."
"Your wishful thinking can be heard light years away. Do you want to fight?" Mu Xiyue expressed that this was intolerable.
Nanzhu silently calculated the fighting strength of both sides, and finally gave up.
After all, the human-immortal clan is indeed better at fighting than the fairy-fox clan, especially sword fighting.
When it comes to intelligence and strategy, the fairy fox clan is indeed better.
But as for a fight, Nanzhu decided not to bother with this fighting maniac.
Lu Yao, who was still doing mental arithmetic on the sidelines, rolled her eyes at the two of them.
It was fine when these two people were not familiar with each other before, and they were just competing secretly.
Now that I'm familiar with everyone, I can completely let myself go.
But it’s a good thing too, so that Mu Xiyue doesn’t always regard her as a potential enemy.
If you want to fight, then fight; I just want to do the questions.
It’s not as interesting to be a man as to do the questions.
Wait a minute, what was I thinking just now?
There was a lot of noise along the way, mainly Nanzhu who was making the noise, and Mu Xiyue was just a supporting role.
With the addition of Nanzhu, Lin Xu suddenly felt that the whole atmosphere became a lot more lively when everyone was together.
So, is this what they call someone who is good at livening up the atmosphere?
I can only say that she is indeed a vixen.
Finally, after passing through the last liquefied wall, they arrived at the control room where signals were continuously being sent out.
It can be seen that this is a combat command room, with large screens all around, tall seats in the middle, and rows of seats extending downwards. At the bottom are staff members sitting around the screens.
Unfortunately, now there are only ruins left, and some skeletons sitting in the command chair.
"Are they the ones who hold on to the end?" Lin Xu looked at the skeletons one by one, feeling a little heavy-hearted.
"This one is from the human fairy clan, this one is from the fairy fox clan, and this one is an elf." Nanzhu identified the skeletons one by one. His expression became much more serious, without the lively temperament just now.
As I said , she is indeed a vixen, with a variety of temperaments that she can switch freely.
"Did they not wait until the end to retreat to the stronghold?" Mu Xiyue looked a little sad.
"Isn't this a good thing? No one has retreated here, which means everyone has evacuated successfully." Lu Yao patted her shoulder and comforted her.
"You're right." Mu Xiyue was convinced.
"Yinghuo, take over the base's database. I want to know what happened in the end." Lin Xu ordered.
"I understand." Yinghuo's voice came.
Lin Xu always has a channel connecting to the outside world in his portable space, so that the intelligent computer can support any of his needs at any time.
This channel is on the surface of his body and is only the size of a few atoms. Even if he is surrounded by disorder and filth, the disorder and filth that cannot invade his body are helpless against such a channel.
But such a channel is enough for him to keep in touch with the Earth in his portable space at any time.
"Master, we have found the last data record of the base. Do you want to check it?"
"Check."
So the next moment, a holographic projection formed in front of Lin Xu.
That is the image projected by the nanorobots controlled by Yinghuo.
There are a few specks of snow on the image, and the picture is not clear, and is even a little tilted.
It was obvious that the lens used for shooting was on the verge of being scrapped, and these images were barely captured.
"Deacon... Sir, you... Shasha... why haven't you left yet?"
"My body... Shasha... has been corroded by disorder and can't hold out for much longer... Shasha... You guys go, I'll stay... Shasha..."
"Galaxy... shasha... has been blocked... shasha... Cannot escape, those who failed to evacuate... shasha..., gather... shasha... location..."
"Repeat once more... Gather... Hold fast... Watch... Long live humanity..."
"Okay, turn it off." Lin Xu couldn't stand it anymore.
So Yinghuo turned off the projection.
"If there is anything important, just tell me directly." Lin Xu said after a pause.
"Forward Node 3005 base encountered the expanding disorder filth three thousand years ago. The base then began to evacuate, but during the evacuation, the disorder filth abnormally erupted and engulfed the entire galaxy."
"Deacon Peng Zhiping was ordered to hold the base to the end and gather those who failed to evacuate, a total of 137 people."
"In the following two hundred years, these one hundred and thirty-seven people passed away one after another. The seven people in the command chair were the last few to pass away. There was no one left to collect their bodies."
"Two hundred years? How could he die so quickly?" Lin Xu asked curiously.
You have to know that these people are either immortals, fairy foxes, or elves. Their lifespans cannot be so short.
"They were all corrupted by the disorder, so they voluntarily stayed and held on to the end."
"Eroded by disorder? Then how did they die?" Lin Xu noticed the blind spot.
Because the clan is eroded by disorder, they will eventually degenerate into monsters on the side of disorder, and it is impossible for them to leave peacefully.
"Before they died, they went berserk and were killed by their companions. The last seven committed suicide by using nanorobots to completely annihilate the disordered filth in their bodies. Therefore, only incomplete skeletons were preserved. The missing skeletons were already out of order and were annihilated by the nanorobots according to the command."
Lin Xu was silent for a while before speaking again.
"Where were the bodies of those people collected?"
"It's over here, you can go directly there." Yinghuo displayed a map in front of Lin Xu using a holographic projection.
At the same time, the map also shows that the shortest route through the wall is in a straight line.
"Let's go and take a look, and bury them at the same time." As Lin Xu said this, nanorobots around him automatically assembled into the shape of a coffin and loaded the corpses on the command chair into it.
Then Lin Xu walked towards the gate not far away, and the coffin floated behind him.
"Not | going through the wall?" Wasn't Lu Yao immersed in the ocean of knowledge of math problems?
"No, let's not save this little bit of distance." Lin Xu said.
Lu Yao's mind, which had just been pulled away from the math problems, finally came to realize that Lin Xu probably wanted to give these people the final respect.
But soon, Lin Xu, who had walked to the door, stopped because the door could no longer be used and could not be opened.
Of course, he had another way. He directly liquefied the nanorobots that were assembled into the gate, making way for the passage, and Lin Xu walked out.
This eased the embarrassment.
Lu Yao resisted the urge to complain, and the few of them went to another cabin not far away.
This is where the bodies are placed.
In a cabin, small boxes contained the corpses of 130 people, and Lin Xu added the last seven people in.
"Master, should we take these corpses away?" Miss Qiu asked.
"No, let them stay here." Lin Xu hesitated for a moment and made a decision.
However, before leaving, he will first purify all the disordered filth around him into inert filth to ensure that the disordered filth will not erupt and erode this place after he leaves.
As for what happens next, the families in the rear will naturally know what to do after they recover the lost territory.
As long as the disordered filth in the galactic center can be purified into inert filth, it is only a matter of time before the clans regain their lost territory.
"Let them stay here for a while. Everything will be over soon." Lin Xu promised.
Soon, the autonomous mechanical aggregate completed its reconnaissance of another planet and found no signs of the existence of the clan on that planet.
There were also no other discoveries made by the autonomous mechanical aggregates on this planet.
After cleaning the cabin containing the corpses of 137 people, Lin Xu also left.
It took off straight up, passed through the layers of automatically opened ceilings, and left the base directly.
He then took out a small spaceship of over a hundred meters from his personal space and returned to the cockpit of the spaceship.
"I'll rest for a while and then continue on my way." Lin Xu did not go back to the bedroom prepared for him on the spaceship, but lay directly on the sofa.
The fatigue from being in a high-dimensional state for a long time needs to be relieved.
Although Lin Xu is already a high-dimensional creature, his subconscious mind has not yet accepted this and he still regards himself as a low-dimensional creature.
Therefore, the subconscious mind is at work, keeping the high-dimensional state closed all the time.
The reason why he kept the high-dimensional state on was to concentrate his attention and constantly remind his subconscious mind not to turn off the high-dimensional state subconsciously without paying attention.
If you concentrate on doing one thing for a long time, even if it is playing games, you will feel tired.
Not to mention that he has to constantly interfere with the disorder and filth along the way, turning all the disorder and filth in the areas he passes through into inert filth.
However, Lin Xu believes that the difficulties are only temporary. Once he gradually adapts to this state and gets used to being in a high-dimensional state for a long time, he will no longer be so tired.
However, the fatigue from long-term high-dimensional interference is unavoidable.
So he urgently needs to take a rest before he can continue on his journey.
So Miss Qiu sat down on the sofa silently and put Lin Xu's head on her lap.
At the same time, he continued to massage Lin Xu's temples.
Lin Xu did not refuse and quickly entered the dream.
Nanzhu on the side was a little jealous. If it was Mu Xiyue whose head was resting on Lin Xu's thigh, she would probably fight for this position, but since it was Miss Qiu.
Then just watch carefully.
Lin Xu didn't sleep for long and woke up refreshed a few hours later.
Then the high-dimensional mode was activated , and the spacecraft accelerated instantly under the control of Mars, rushing out of the galaxy and heading towards the disorder and filth.
Lin Xu looked back at the galaxy where the clan's creations were floating everywhere, and the last thing he saw was a satellite that had not been in operation for who knows how many years and had long been decommissioned.
Then the spacecraft rushed into the disorder and filth, sailing towards the center of the Milky Way at a hundred times the speed of light.
Lin Xu also cheered up, and after turning on the high-dimensional state, he constantly interfered with the disorder and filth along the way, pulling all the disorder and filth in the passing area into a state of inertia that would not continue to expand.
Just like that, a whole year passed in a flash.
At a speed a hundred times the speed of light, the spacecraft has already crossed a distance of hundreds of light years.
During this year, the spacecraft also passed through several oasis areas and once again encountered two of the clans' former defense nodes.
During this year, Lin Xu would occasionally let Miss Qiu and others enter his personal space temporarily because of fatigue, and then float alone in the disordered filth, turn off the high-dimensional state, and take a nap to rest.
After waking up, they entered the high-dimensional state, took out the spaceship, and continued on their journey.
After a year of continuous activation of the high-dimensional state, Lin Xu has now become completely proficient in it.
Or perhaps his subconscious mind has been corrected by him.
In short, now that Lin Xu has entered a high-dimensional state, he will no longer feel tired after a long time.
But constant high-dimensional interference is still a very tiring task.
In this way, a journey of one hundred light years has passed. Calculating the distance, it should not be far from the final destination of mankind.
But this is the case without any deviation along the way.
Although Mars was controlling the spacecraft, it was trying hard to move in a straight line.
And under the calculation of supercomputers, theoretically the spacecraft will not go astray.
However, when sailing in the disordered filth without any reference points or coordinates to anchor, no one can guarantee that the route will be 100% accurate and will not deviate.
So now Lin Xu can only pray that his luck is good enough.
But it doesn’t matter. Even if I miss it, I can just go back and fly a few more times.
It just takes a few more years, but I have plenty of time anyway.
While comforting himself, he activated a higher-dimensional state and constantly interfered with the disorder and filth passing by.
Suddenly, Lin Xu saw in a high-dimensional state that a few light years away, there was a space that seemed to be specially marked and was extremely obvious in the high-dimensional perspective.
Could that be the subspace where humans store their relics?
Lin Xu suddenly became alert.
Looking at the direction, it turned out to be off course.
If nothing unexpected happens, that should be where humans settled.
But why is this subspace so obvious in higher dimensions?
It is so eye-catching that it seems as if the location of the subspace in the higher dimension was deliberately marked.
At least the subspaces that Lin Xu had encountered before, whether it was his own personal subspace, or the personal subspaces of Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu, Lu Yao, or the personal subspaces of those clansmen, were not like this.
Wait, labeling locations in high dimensions?
Could it be that humans do this on purpose?
But how did humans of this period manage to mark locations in high dimensions?
Humans in this period clearly haven't yet reached an upgraded dimension.
And why do humans need to mark the location of subspace in high dimensions?
It was as if it was deliberately telling itself that the subspace it was looking for was here, come quickly.
Besides, how did they know someone would come looking for them?
Everything is full of mystery.
Lin Xu ordered Yinghuo to change its course.
Although Yinghuo was puzzled, he still followed Lin Xu's order, changed his course, and sailed towards the location of the subspace.
It’s a few light years away, and it only takes about ten days to get there.
However, the closer the distance got, the more doubts Lin Xu had.
