Volume 3 Chapter 140: Non-Existent Human Civilization
"Sir, is this your first time visiting the Capital Planet? Do you need a tour guide?"
"Hey, sir, I have the most popular female star's AI face-swapping here. The content is absolutely explosive. Would you like to take a look? It's very cheap?"
"Electronic flavored juice, would you like to try it?"
"What is electronic flavor? I can tell you're from out of town. This is the specialty of our capital planet. If you don't try it, it would be like you came to the capital planet in vain."
After a few people walked on the street for a while, Lin Xu's hands were full of various snacks .
There was also the so-called electronic-flavored juice. After Nanzhu, Mu Xiyue, and Lu Yao took a sip each, the juice fell into Lin Xu's hands.
The only feeling Lin Xu had after tasting it was that the taste was a bit subtle.
That feeling is better, the taste is like ions exploding in the mouth, so it can't be said to be bad.
Finally, the juice fell into Miss Qiu's hands again.
Then Miss Qiu's eyes lit up.
"Do you think it tastes good?" Lin Xu asked.
"It tastes good." Miss Qiu answered simply and understandably.
"Then it's all yours." Lin Xu made a quick decision.
So this cup of juice that everyone disliked now belongs to Miss Qiu.
And seeing that she was very happy drinking it, Lin Xu thought about it and went straight to the vendor who was selling the electronic flavored juice and asked about the production method.
It's rare for Miss Qiu to be interested in something, and Lin Xu wants her to be able to drink it in the future.
"Production method? We all buy it from the store. Who would make it by themselves?" The vendor was a little amused.
"Lord Lin Xu, since this juice is a local specialty, the place of origin should not be far away. As long as we find the manufacturer, it will be easy to get the production method. It is not a secret." Nanzhu suggested.
"Chen Xing, I'll leave this matter to you." Lin Xu also agreed with Nan Zhu's opinion, so he directly handed the matter over to Chen Xing who was on duty.
"Yes, master. I will now connect to the local network and retrieve the data. At the same time, I will send out the autonomous mechanical aggregate to the production site to obtain the production method." Chen Xing responded quickly.
It's not a big deal.
Several people continued shopping, and this time Nanzhu also found a tour guide to introduce the situation of the capital planet to them.
"How many floors are there from top to bottom here?" Nanzhu looked up at the layer upon layer of the Capital Star sky.
The highest area has reached space. Because each layer is separated by transparent materials and only the buildings are opaque, although the sunlight is slightly blocked, the bottom layer is still bright.
At the same time, the buildings arranged layer by layer also constitute the unique architectural beauty here.
"There are eighteen floors in total from the bottom to the space. The top layer is covered by an air cover, which keeps the air the same as on the ground. In addition, the gravity assist module makes the gravity the same as on the ground. So, there is actually no difference in feeling between living on the ground and living in low-Earth orbit." The tour guide, who was dressed in red and whose gender could not be distinguished, explained diligently.
"Eighteen levels! " Lin Xu's expression was a little strange. After all, the eighteen levels of hell were still a bit taboo for the people on Earth.
But it is obvious that the Galactic Alliance does not have this taboo.
"That building over there with countless floors from top to bottom, that must be the Alliance Council, right?" Lin Xu asked.
"That's right. The Alliance Council is the highest authority in the entire Galaxy Alliance. Countless bigwigs decide the fate of the entire galaxy here. The Council is also the only space area on the capital star that has no layers. There is only one Council building from top to bottom, running from the ground to the sky." While the tour guide explained, he tapped a few times on the holographic screen on his wrist.
With a swish, a holographic screen half a person's height was projected in front of Lin Xu and his companions.
Above is all the information about the Council.
Of course, it’s just public information that anyone can check.
There's even ticket information on it.
"Tourists are allowed to visit the outer area of the Council, but the ticket is expensive and hard to come by. If you want to enter the Council, you can try to buy tickets through our travel agency. Our travel agency has a special channel to get same-day tickets, but the price may be a little more expensive." The tour guide introduced while observing the expressions of Lin Xu and others.
He had already discovered that these tourists were the type who had plenty of money, so maybe he could really sell a few tickets.
Then he made money on this deal.
"The price is fine, please get five tickets for us." Lin Xu made the decision immediately.
"Okay, would you like to choose online payment or cash payment?" The tour guide controlled his joyful expression and was ready to collect cash.
After all, the universe is vast, and real-time network transfers between galaxies, in particular, are simply unrealistic. So in this era, using cash to pay when traveling long distances is common sense.
So, Lin Xu took out a large-denomination banknote that was also made of nanorobots and paid the fee.
After counting the money, the tour guide applied for a tour ticket through the travel agency’s internal network.
Then he called an autonomous hovercraft taxi and took Lin Xu and his companions to the only huge building complex in the distance that had towering buildings.
As the distance got closer, the full picture of the council gradually appeared in the eyes of several people.
On this capital planet that is divided into layers from bottom to top and makes the most of space, only the location of the Council is not divided.
Countless buildings built above the ground are gathered in the area where the Alliance Council is located.
Looking up from here, you can even see directly to the sky, without being blocked by various densely packed buildings.
It is the only one on the entire capital planet.
I got off the taxi and queued behind the dense crowd.
Even though the price is far beyond common sense, the thing that the entire Galaxy Alliance has the most is various wealthy people.
If you can afford it, visit the council, even if it's just the outer areas; these wealthy people will never be stingy with their money.
These wealthy people are usually considered big shots on their respective planets.
At this time, they were standing in line outside the council meeting obediently, without even a word of complaint, but instead they all looked very excited.
The usual pomp and circumstance was nowhere to be seen.
All I can say is that the so-called big shots are just ordinary people in front of bigger shots.
The line moved forward little by little, and soon it was Lin Xu and others' turn to check the tickets.
When we got here, the tour guide could no longer accompany us inside.
But it doesn’t matter, there are unified tour guides who will provide explanations to large groups of tourists.
The tour guide, who had made a lot of money, watched Lin Xu and others enter the review meeting before turning around and leaving.
After Lin Xu and his companions entered the council hall, they were immediately assigned to the same group with a dozen other tourists. Led by a tour guide, they walked towards a building around the council hall.
The mysterious meeting hall of the Council is naturally not a place that can be visited.
However, some surrounding areas can still be visited.
"Everyone, follow me. This is the Council's History Research Museum. Many historical relics from tens of thousands of years ago are collected here. You can even find many tea cups used by the first Chairman of the Council when the Galactic Alliance was just established tens of thousands of years ago. They are all collected here." The tour guide introduced everyone and brought them to a building with retro decoration style.
This is the museum.
However, looking at this museum where human presence has been completely eliminated, Lin Xu could only sigh.
Lin Xu believed that there must be quite a few things that could be considered antiques left behind by humans ten thousand years ago.
But there is none in this museum.
The Council is deliberately eliminating the influence left by humans in the Galactic Alliance.
Even now, ordinary people probably don’t know that there was a human civilization ten thousand years ago, and it was human civilization that truly established the Galactic Alliance.
The so-called Council was nothing more than an organization that carried out human orders.
Of course, Lin Xu doesn’t care whether the intelligent life in the Galactic Alliance remembers humans.
At the height that humans are at now, just like humans don’t care whether ants are remembering them or not.
Lin Xu was just feeling a little emotional.
"Brother, where are you from? I'm from the Portmar Galaxy. This is my business card. Come visit us if you have a chance!"
A tourist nearby, whose race was unclear, enthusiastically handed out a business card to Lin Xu.
Lin Xu took it with a polite smile.
After visiting together for a while, the tourists in the same group became familiar with each other. Occasionally, they would get together and reminisce about the glorious days of the Galactic Alliance ten thousand years ago.
Then, when they came out of the museum and were about to go to another building, the tour guide suddenly stopped everyone and made way for several hovercrafts that were speeding in the distance.
These hovercrafts formed a convoy, guarding the hovercraft in the middle, passing the crowd and stopping under the towering stairs of the Council.
Then everyone saw a figure who, under the vigilance of the guards, got off the hovercraft, slowly climbed the stairs, and entered the council meeting.
"Is that the reviewer?" People in the crowd were whispering and asking the tour guide.
Just like ordinary people know celebrities but don’t know the top leaders of their own country.
These people also do not know the detailed information of each reviewer on the council.
"That's Councillor Dopple. It's enough for everyone to know about it. Don't discuss it casually. Let's continue the tour." With that, the tour guide led everyone to continue the tour.
It was just the private whispers of the crowd, and no one could stop it.
"Councilman Dopple? It seems that he is a member of the Dore family. The Dore family is incredible. I heard that it is an ancient family that has been passed down from ten thousand years ago to the present day."
"From ten thousand years ago to now? There aren't many families like this left now."
"Oh, that's because you don't understand. That's because you have no vision. Let me tell you this, nearly half of the seats on the entire council are still in the hands of these ancient families."
"Hey, so powerful? How did you know that?"
"My second uncle's aunt's neighbor's fourth uncle used to be a middle-level manager in these big families. Of course, I'm just saying it, and you're just listening. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Later discussions became more and more gossipy.
But one thing is certain, the family of this Congressman Dopple has indeed been passed down for ten thousand years.
So Lin Xu instantly had an idea.
Since it has been passed down from thousands of years ago, it must know something about humans.
Even if everything is concealed from the general public, there should be records within the family.
If that's the case, maybe we can talk about it.
Lin Xu's purpose was only to take away high-dimensional objects, and he did not want to destroy the order of the Galactic Alliance.
Of course, if the Galaxy Alliance does not understand what it means to be a wise man who knows the current affairs, Lin Xu will have to do this under no circumstances.
But if there is something to talk about, Lin Xu still wants to talk about it.
The only prerequisite is that the other party can understand what a human being is.
In other words, being able to understand human terror.
Otherwise you go up and tell others that you are human.
Then people will look confused and ask you what human beings are?
Then there is no more room for negotiation, we can only fight.
After all, any random guy can show up and take away your treasure.
No one can agree to this.
"Let's go." Lin Xu gestured to the girls around him.
So without anyone noticing, they quietly left the tour group and headed towards the council.
Along the way, hidden in every corner, there are also nano-sized cameras that constantly malfunction temporarily due to various problems.
With the technological level of the Galactic Alliance, it is naturally possible to produce nanometer-sized cameras.
Although these cameras are also nanometer-sized, they are hundreds of times larger than nanorobots.
At the same time, it only has one function: camera.
It was easily destroyed by nanorobots.
The security department of the Council has noticed something is wrong, and various armed robots and armed agents have begun to move around the Council.
At the same time, the entry of tourist groups has also been suspended.
All tour groups that had already entered were also stopped and asked to leave the council.
Although the entire council has not sounded the alarm yet, they have been secretly on alert.
It was under such circumstances that five people were found missing from the tour group that was cleared out.
It was Lin Xu, Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu and Lu Yao.
Suddenly, the security department realized that something was wrong.
All parts of the entire council instantly received internal warnings, requiring everyone to be careful and vigilant.
At the same time, the security department mobilized all the cameras along the way to capture the images of Lin Xu and others since they entered the capital star system.
However, they found that there was no image that accurately recorded the appearance of these people. In all the records, their appearances were blurry.
I don't know why, but the picture quality is blurry.
Well, actually, there is a layer of nanorobots always surrounding the few people, blurring out all their features so that they are not recorded, that's all.
The security department couldn't find Lin Xu and his companions anywhere and were starting to go crazy.
Lin Xu and his companions had already left the coordinates of the entrance and exit of a portable space in Dopuldorei's car. Then they watched Dopuldorei get in the car and leave after the bodyguard carefully checked the car several times to make sure it was fine.
It was not until Dopper's convoy had left for a long time that Lin Xu opened the coordinates left on the car and came directly to Dopper's car through the portable space.
It is naturally impossible for Dopple to install a camera that can monitor himself in his car.
So when Lin Xu and his companions appeared, no one noticed it except Dople himself who was stunned.
The interior of Dopper's car was extremely spacious, several times more spacious than the extended version of Rolls-Royce. He was the only one inside, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
So even if Lin Xu, Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu and Lu Yao appeared one after another, the interior of the hovercraft was still extremely spacious.
After a brief panic, Dopple quickly calmed down.
After watching Lin Xu and others walk out of the passage that was obviously similar to space teleportation, he closed the passage casually.
Dopple began to think rapidly in his mind.
Space teleportation technology, even within the Galactic Alliance, is a technology that only exists in theory.
It’s like humans in the 21st century, who theoretically know that curvature engines exist, but in reality no one thinks anyone can actually make one.
So Dopple thought about it, could it be the latest technology of the Mechanical Empire? Impossible, how could the Mechanical Empire master such sci-fi technology? This is too sci-fi.
That's a member planet of the Galaxy Alliance. Want to rebel? It's even more impossible. With such sci-fi technology, why would it join the Galaxy Alliance? It's better for the Galaxy Alliance to join you.
In short, I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
I saw Lin Xu sitting down opposite me, looking at me with a smile.
Dopple realized that he needed to speak.
Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to call for guards at a time like this, not even in secret.
After all, the other party's technology seemed to be advanced to the level of science fiction. Even if he called for guards , there was a great possibility that he would be discovered. He didn't want to gamble with his life.
"Where are you from? What is your purpose in looking for me?" Dopple asked calmly.
"Where are you from?" This question made Lin Xu a little dazed for a moment.
After thinking for a while, he answered.
"We are from the Milky Way, and we are here just to retrieve our things."
"Milky Way?" Dopple was stunned for a moment. He felt that the word sounded very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
But Dopple continued to ask, "Excuse me, what is it?"
"A high-dimensional item." Lin Xu replied.
"Higher-dimensional objects?" Various high-dimensional objects flashed through Dopple's mind.
However, those are disposable high-dimensional items manufactured by the Galactic Alliance using chaotic energy.
Eventually, his thoughts fixed on a high-dimensional object that he had accidentally obtained thousands of years ago.
That is probably the only thing in the entire Galactic Alliance that can be considered a true high-dimensional item.
But the person in front of him said that he wanted to take back the high-dimensional item, as if the high-dimensional item originally belonged to them.
This made Dopple feel a little amused.
However, no matter how funny it was, he was still in the other party's hands after all, so Dopple still spoke patiently.
"You mean, that's your thing? Do you know where it came from?"
"Of course I know. What about you? You should also know my origins! So, don't you understand who I am?" Lin Xu reminded.
"Who are you?" Dopple frowned slightly, and then a possibility suddenly flashed through his mind.
In an instant, it was like a thunderclap exploding in his brain.
That was a possibility he had never thought of after meeting Lin Xu.
But it is the most likely possibility now.
As the saying goes, when one has eliminated all impossibilities from a matter, whatever remains, no matter how incredible it is, is the truth.
Yes, yes, if it were them, with such sci-fi technology as space teleportation, there would be nothing unreasonable.
If it was them, then everything would make sense.
But, will they really come back?
Are they really back?
It’s been ten thousand years, ten thousand years already, and no one would have thought that they would come back one day.
Aren’t they pursuing higher dimensions?
Why come back?
"You are human!" Dopple finally said the word with some difficulty.
That is a taboo word among the upper echelons of the entire Galactic Alliance.
"That's right, I said, I'm just here to retrieve our things. You know, the birth of that thing was originally a by-product of our experiment, and we didn't expect that it would be lost one day. But since it has been lost, we will take responsibility and recover it." Lin Xu replied.
"No wonder, no wonder our frontline troops who were cooperating with the Mechanical Empire to explore the planet of human relics were wiped out. We were still discussing whether the Mechanical Empire secretly made trouble, but the Mechanical Empire obviously does not have such strength. I didn't expect that it was you who came back." Dopple said with a difficult smile.
"Are you surprised that we are back?" Lin Xu said with a smile.
"It's more than an accident. The path to upgrading is so difficult that we even thought that you had already fallen." Dopple had a bitter expression.
This is also the main reason why the Galactic Alliance chose to erase human existence from history.
No one thinks that humans can really succeed in upgrading their dimensions because it is too difficult and too incredible.
This is the consensus of the Council.
In addition, the Council does not want to live under the shadow of humans forever.
It is clear that we have been the ones developing the Galactic Alliance for the past ten thousand years, so why have the people always worshipped humans?
Then just erase humans from history.
"So, have you succeeded now?" Dopple asked after hesitating for a moment.
"Yes, humans have already upgraded to a higher dimension." Lin Xu nodded.
Think about everything the Galactic Alliance has done in the past ten thousand years since humans left.
Dopple suddenly had a feeling that the Galactic Alliance was about to face a disaster.
