The moment Ling finished speaking, a holographic image quietly appeared in front of Lü Yongchang.
In the video, the relative positions of the sun, earth, and moon were clearly presented in front of him.
"Professor, the Sun is expected to enter the red giant phase soon."
"Based on current observation data, it is predicted that the Earth's average temperature will rise by another 30 degrees Celsius within two months, and the surface temperature in some areas will reach over 100 degrees Celsius."
As Zero spoke, the relative position of Mars also appeared in the holographic image.
"Professor, Mars is currently moving towards its perigee."
"Therefore, taking all factors into account, now is the best time for us to go to Mars."
Lü Yongchang did not respond to Ling's words, but silently turned his head to look at the calendar next to him.
2034.5.15
Time is indeed almost up.
Lü Yongchang sighed again: "Zero, tell everyone."
"Evacuation will begin in three days."
The moment he said those words, Lü Yongchang felt as if a piece of his heart had been emptied.
Three days later, Earth will no longer be humanity's home, and humanity will be one step closer to a nomadic civilization.
"receive."
Zero's calm voice rang out in the office.
The holographic image in front of him quietly disappeared, and Lü Yongchang slowly closed his eyes, preparing to lie down on the chair and rest for a while.
The next second, the holographic image that had been fading in the air lit up again.
"Professor, a signal has been received again from the direction of Proxima Centauri."
...
Four years ago, in the Proxima Centauri system.
The door to Atocha's room opened for the fourth time.
He didn't turn his head, but just sat quietly in the chair.
He knew that this time, opening the door would take his life.
Sure enough, the next moment, several strong Proxima Centauri dragged him up from the chair.
Atocha offered no resistance, simply watching the Proxima Centauri before him in silence.
That was his superior, Karp, who was in charge of the Atoka throughout the Proxima Centauri civilization.
Garp's mind was filled with terror and anger.
He swung his thick forelimbs forcefully, striking Atocha's mental organs hard.
"Atoka, tell me, what message did you send into the solar system without authorization?"
Accompanying the questioning was a string of curses.
The curses were nothing more than attacks on Atocha's birth and social status.
The skin at the top of the Atocha thought organ showed distinct folds.
He slowly shook his thought organs.
Clearly, he was not prepared to reveal the message he was conveying.
Garp's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
He increased the force, slapping Atocha hard a few times before walking toward the control panel.
"Don't bother looking anymore." Atoka's hoarse voice carried a hint of madness. "I've already deleted all the data!"
Garp paused slightly, then turned and gave Atoka a disdainful look.
He didn't speak, but silently pressed a few buttons on the control panel in front of him.
A scanning beam appeared.
After the identity was confirmed, lines of data immediately appeared on the screen.
Upon seeing the familiar data, Atocha suddenly widened his narrow visual organs.
"No... I deleted it! I definitely deleted all this data!"
“Foolish! Atocha is Atocha, only fit to do the lowest of jobs!” Garp said mercilessly.
While muttering curses under his breath at Atoka for causing him trouble, Garp looked at the data.
With just one glance, a fine tingle of goosebumps rose on the top of his mind: "Damn it, how could you dare to do such a thing!"
...
"Genetic data?!"
Lu Yongchang suddenly stood up, staring at the holographic image in front of him with disbelief: "Zero, are you sure it's genetic data?"
Lu Yongchang's eyes were filled with astonishment and doubt.
That's genetic data!
This is practically a civilization's trump card!
It is no exaggeration to say that if this genetic data is correct, then when humanity faces the Proxima Centauri civilization in the future, it can completely use genetic means to attack it.
this……
This is like having a cheat code!
Lu Yongchang couldn't help but curse under his breath.
In the holographic image before me, countless densely packed data flashed by.
Zero's voice rang out again.
“Professor, if there’s no problem with the dictionary they sent, this is indeed the genetic data of the Proxima Centauri.”
"Besides the genetic data, there are a few more words."
Lu Yongchang swallowed slightly and asked softly, "What did you say?"
A line of Chinese characters appeared in the holographic image in front of him.
[Dear civilization of the solar system, let me first introduce myself. I am Atocha from the Proxima Centauri civilization...]
Lü Yongchang quickly finished reading the text in front of him.
Then, with a complicated expression, he turned to look at the genetic data in the holographic image beside him.
"this……"
Even he was caught off guard by this situation.
"Zero, do you think this genetic data is credible?" Lü Yongchang was particularly cautious about this issue concerning the relationship between two civilizations.
Zero quickly responded, "Professor, based on the description in those sentences, Atocha did indeed have a motive to do such a thing."
Lu Yongchang frowned and asked again, "According to Atocha, he should be at the lowest level of existence in the Proxima Centauri civilization. How did he obtain this genetic data?"
Zero remained silent for a moment.
"Professor, there is insufficient information to analyze this."
Lü Yongchang shook his head with a wry smile.
"Never mind, let's save the genetic data first."
"Once we get to Mars, we'll study this data more carefully and see if it's accurate."
"In any case, this data can at least give us some basic understanding of the world 4.22 light-years away."
As he spoke, he sat back down in his chair and closed his eyes to think.
Compared to the genetic data, Atocha's words had a greater impact on him.
The population is declining, class divisions are becoming more pronounced, and ideologies are becoming more rigid...
It appears that these are the reasons why the Proxima Centauri civilization encountered technological bottlenecks.
However, if we think about it the other way around...
A civilization that encounters technological bottlenecks, is unable to continue developing, and can only continuously consume surrounding resources will inevitably face this problem within its own civilization.
This is unavoidable.
It's like a vortex that keeps getting bigger and bigger, which will eventually devour an interstellar civilization!
"Professor, should we tell Representative Lee about this?"
Zero's question rang out again.
Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
...
More than ten minutes later.
A series of hurried footsteps and the sound of the office door opening reached Lü Yongchang's ears.
"Yongchang!"
Representative Li's slightly hurried voice rang out.
Lu Yongchang quickly opened his eyes, stood up from his seat, and went to greet him.
