Chapter 600 You Are Really Everywhere
"Who would write a diary if they were serious?"
In the small laboratory under the Tower of Immortality, after seeing Rogge open his grandfather's diary, Lao Jiang complained behind him.
But Black Fox did not react. He fell into an unspeakable silence after seeing the first sentence in the diary . Emma said that Lewis spent the rest of his life atonement.
As can be seen from the first sentence of this diary, this statement is probably true.
Roger flipped back through the pages.
The true picture of the matter was quickly outlined by these words.
I have to say that Lewis' habit of keeping a diary is very good. It records in detail all the strange things that happened before the nuclear war in a very linear time point.
Lao Jiang also watched it very seriously.
"The strange creature codenamed 'Metal' was 'captured' two years ago. It was a landing accident. A spacecraft from outside the solar system seemed to have been attacked by some force.
It will set its final landing point on Earth, in an uninhabited area of the Pacific Ocean.
The crash occurred late at night and was clearly detected by astronomical stations in several countries. Countries with the ability sent out search teams.
But when the first group of team members arrived, the spacecraft was empty.
They only brought back the wreckage of the spacecraft that was shattered into pieces after the crash, and it was also disassembled by several countries that visited the spacecraft at that time in the name of research.
The matter was concluded here. Apart from triggering a wave of discussion about aliens in society, it did not arouse much in-depth thinking.
But two years later, when I was invited to the Red Star Stone Research Institute as an anomalous biologist, I was allowed to view the internal documents of that incident.
The authorities concealed a lot of things, but I can understand it.
Once these documents are leaked, it will cause terrible waves.
The search
There are similar creatures like it in thirteen other secret locations on Earth.
In the past two years, we scientists from various industries have been secretly invited to various bases to conduct research on various aspects of extraterrestrial life.
Including but not limited to their body structure, constituent materials, civilization characteristics, language system, etc.
This research is a model of global collaboration.
Because their shapes are too complex.
For our current level of technology, their existence is like a secret black hole. It takes the most superior wisdom among humans to decipher these secrets.
I am honored to be a part of this big group.
Although joining this project team means that I will disappear from the outside world, I did not hesitate too much. For a biologist like me who is not the top and whose research field is very niche, this may be my only chance to realize my ambition. "
The first page of the diary records the situation when Lewis first arrived at the institute.
But it reveals a huge amount of information between the lines.
Rogge did not rashly flip through the diary. He turned back to look at Old Jiang, and Boss Jiang also looked at him. After a few seconds of silence, Black Fox said:
"So, aliens are actually involved behind the nuclear war?"
"Keep looking back."
Lao Jiang patted Roger on the shoulder and said:
"I really want to know why they released the captured aliens in the first place. Wouldn't such things be sliced and studied? Could it be that they were collectively brainwashed?"
With this question in mind, the diary was opened to a new page.
This time the text was not as calm and composed as before, and it revealed a sense of solemnity and pressure.
“Today, I saw it for the first time with my own eyes.”
"Beyond my expectations, the captured aliens are not carbon-based creatures, they are more like mechanical life forms in science fiction works. Even when their bodies are completely disassembled and only their heads are left, they still maintain life.
In order to prevent this alien life form code-named "Metal" from causing dangerous situations, we used the most primitive method to build a ten-meter-thick isolation room made of various signal shielding materials at the bottom of the base.
Members entering are not allowed to bring any electronic devices.
It is said that in the past few years, there have been several dangerous situations caused by "metal". Its manipulation of data and information is an instinct, as simple as eating and drinking water.
When I entered the isolation room, I saw it looking at me with its own 'eyes'.
It is clearly intelligent.
But it was very silent and refused to communicate with me in any form. It did not give any answers to the various questions I asked. But when I asked about their purpose of coming to Earth, it told me very frankly.
Earth is not their destination.
During their journey, they were attacked by a strange force called "Desert" and were forced to land on this backward planet.
After realizing that this was the only issue it was willing to discuss, I spent several hours trying to get information about the desert from it.
This mechanical life is very 'principled'.
On this topic, it knows everything.
But in other areas, it said nothing. It told me that the Wilds had probably noticed our world because of their landing.
It pessimistically declares that our world will face various natural disasters and apocalyptic crises within ten years at most.
This kind of dangerous rhetoric did not make me feel scared.
Because my predecessors told me that this is most likely a 'strategy' of this mechanical life, forcing us to cooperate with them by exaggerating unknown dangers.
Perhaps, the "desertion" it mentioned does exist.
But this does not mean that its position is consistent with ours.
After being disassembled, the code-named "Metal" also showed extremely high aggression and attack. These mechanical lives are by no means good.
And there was not only extraterrestrial life on the crashed spacecraft. According to our speculation, there is similar mechanical life hidden on Earth.
The reason why I was invited here is because the top management hopes that I, an alien biologist, can cooperate with other colleagues to analyze the language system of mechanical life.
They want to find the aliens hiding on Earth. Obviously, the top leaders regard these aliens as a threat.
This is a very difficult task.
Even with the help of the world's top physicists and mechanics, it is very difficult to analyze their data signals.
Our work encountered an unexpected bottleneck. After several months of hard work, we achieved nothing except compiling a map of an alien language that no one could understand.
Everyone in the team was very frustrated. Although there was no pressure from higher-ups, we would soon be sent out of the institute if we failed to produce research results.
That means that human intelligence has suffered a humiliating defeat in the contest with alien civilization.
Under such pressure, someone in the team came up with a very risky plan. If we can't analyze their language patterns, then why not guide them to actively send out a distress signal?
This way, the aliens hiding in the world can be gathered at a specific location for a capture operation.”
"Ah, now the death has begun."
After reading the contents of this page, Lao Jiang let out a strange sigh.
Roger also nodded in agreement.
From their hindsight perspective, these scientists before the nuclear war were really crazy to dare to make such a risky plan.
Turning to the next page, Lewis recorded their "suicidal process" in detail.
"Because the 'metal' refuses to communicate with us, and our technological level makes it difficult to invade its data stream at the data level, in order to induce this mechanical life to produce the emotion of 'panic', we can only prescribe the right medicine.
After getting approval from our superiors, we began to create some fake news, using the information about the events and disasters in "Huang" that "Metal" portrayed to us.
Upload this information to the base's internal network and store it as top-secret information. At the right moment, relax the signal suppression on "Metal" so that it can see the information in this local area network.
This action quickly received a "metal" response.
It becomes restless.
Soon, it ended its silence and began to actively communicate with us.
It tells us that the power of desolation has entered this world. It announces to us the coming of the end of the world and that this world has no value anymore.
It wants to leave our world before the disaster breaks out, and to this end, it is willing to provide us with some of the technology we need in exchange for some materials for building spacecraft.
It is even willing to actively summon its companions hidden in various places on the earth to show its sincerity.
It was obvious that 'Metal' was horrified by the fake news we created.
Before this, we had always believed that these mechanical lives did not have the emotion of "fear". In the following six months, under the constant pressure of false information, "metal" behaved very cooperatively.
It submitted to the Institute the blueprints for many high-tech breakthroughs that have yet to be achieved on Earth, allowing us to achieve amazing breakthroughs in energy, quantum technology, space exploration, and nuclear physics.
The clues it provided also made it easy for us to find the mechanical life forms hidden all over the earth, capture them, and imprison them in some secret locations.
At present, it seems that we have successfully defeated these alien life forms with our own wisdom."
At this point in the diary, Lewis's emotions were still very high.
But Rogge and Lao Jiang had already sensed that the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse, and sure enough, after a few pages of diary recording the research project, a bad change occurred.
"'Metal' is missing! Not only it, but all the data signals of alien life that we have captured have disappeared without a trace overnight!"
"The bodies of these guys are still in various research institutes, but their signals disappeared, just like they threw away a piece of 'clothing'. They achieved the impossible 'escape' right under our noses.
This incident was like a blow to us, waking us up from our joy and victory.
It was not until this time that we realized that it was not the 'metal' that was deceived, but us. Perhaps that cunning mechanical life had discovered our deception from the beginning.
It chose to take advantage of the situation.
The technology it provides us is real.
After energy technology and quantum technology were helped to make breakthroughs, and after we created a fairly advanced quantum communication network, our suppression of them did not keep up.
They took advantage of our curiosity and arrogance, and with the help of our hands, built an "information channel" for them to escape.
We foolishly released them.
What's worse, in this new realm, what we have learned from 'metals' is not enough to prevent them from invading quantum networks as well as traditional data networks.
In less than 24 hours, the entire world's financial system was thrown into chaos by them.
They are retaliating against our fake news.
What's even more terrifying is that we have detected the information flow they sent to outer space...
They are calling their companions to come to our world.
The earth is ending.
I was so desperate that I wanted to shoot myself. It was me and my companions who caused all this. I would become the sinner of the entire civilization and the entire world...
But a weird person stopped me.
He told me that everything was still possible.
We might be able to preserve our civilization, but only if we make some terrible sacrifices and carry out a worldwide 'experiment' for him.
That person told me that his name was Mo Jiu...
What a strange name.”
"Mo Jiu?"
Rogge looked back at Lao Jiang in surprise.
The latter curled his lips and said:
"My big son's name is amazing. He is everywhere."
