Chapter 1262 - The Concern Millions of Kilometers Away (1/2)
Now I’m the last Gaia to guard the tomb of our civilization.
When I die, our civilization will officially end.
There is still a “Flower of Memory” in my hand, and it has only a trace of energy left, but I think I may be able to leave something for myself…
Perhaps the latecomers will be confused as to why we went from prosperity to extinction.
I have thought about this question countless times, until I took this last Flower of Memory in my hand, I finally understood the problem.
It is not disaster, but despair, that destroyed our civilization.
When the apocalypse arrived, hundreds of millions of our people died in front of us.
Some died from the disaster itself, but more died from our vulnerability to disasters.
We have considered thousands of possibilities, including immigration to the still infant earth and flying to further galaxies to continue our civilization. I believe that we can survive on the unknown land, but in the end, we chose to leave a tombstone that still contained our last dignity.
Very unexpectedly, I felt somewhat liberated to have such an ending.
Maybe I have some regrets as I can’t smell the wonderful fragrance anymore nor can I sense the intoxicating spiritual rhythm anymore… But this is just a regret for my remaining 3,000 Mars days, not for our civilization itself.
There is no regret for our civilization.
Maybe this ending is not so bad after all?
In the last moment, we chose the most democratic way of voting to decide our own destiny.
It was probably the fairest vote we have ever had.
The result was a unanimous agreement.
Everyone chose to stay.
We placed the key on the spacecraft and watched it go.
Ironically, we obviously never placed hope in the cold starry sky. But at this moment, we imagined that one day there will be another spirit, or soul, to write our story in another language…
…
“Like a poem.”
Jiang Chen made an evaluation after reading through the memory.
“The popular narrative method of Gaia civilization was not in the form of words, but to communicate directly through the spirit. I believe that you have experienced that feeling, the feeling is not easy to describe with words, I just wrote it down based on my memory.” Amos shrugged. “But the most critical part is not the beginning, but the ruins he mentioned about.”
About the ruins?
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and looked at Amos.
“Why?”
“Their ruins are divided into three parts, part of which is the living area, which is the part you had seen. The second part, is the database which can be opened by the key, and the data inside is stored in a kind of flower called ‘Flower of Memory’.”
After Amos said that, he had a rare look of eagerness.
“If I didn’t guess wrong, that should be the thing we encountered! It can connect directly with the spirit of a person, and then directly input the knowledge stored in it into a person’s brain! God… I dare to say that if this is unearthed, scientists all over the world will go mad!”
Transfer knowledge directly through the spirit, or neural connection?
Jiang Chen’s eyes showed a moment of shock.
