Chapter 5 The choice that determines the fate of all mankind!
[Generating tasks...]
[Trigger special conditions and activate the title system.]
[You drove away the Moro fleet. They blew up Pluto and Neptune before leaving. The ripples in space and time were received by 22 civilizations within a 1,000 light-year range. Many of them decided to go to the solar system to find out.
When they are about to arrive, what will you do?!】
[Option 1, leave the solar system with the fleet alone, and the supplies reserved are enough for you to live a stable life. You can get the title: Lone Walker. (You can get a lot of technology points when the Blue Star civilization is destroyed.)]
[Option 2, lead the Blue Star humans to leave the solar system together, but with limited resources, some people will starve to death on the way to escape. You can get the title: Wanderer. (For each additional newborn born on the spacecraft, you can get additional
technological points.)]
[Option 3: Stay in the solar system and fight alien civilizations. Kill to stop killing and fight to stop war. You can get the title: King of War. (You can get technology points by destroying any enemy military unit.)]
[You can only choose one of the three options, please make your choice within 24 hours.]
[Note: The generation of level 2 tasks will depend on the choices you make.]
"After Pluto and Neptune are blown up, will they be received by civilizations within 1,000 light-years?!"
Zhao Yu was a little shocked, and the first thing he noticed was the information mentioned by the system.
Immediately afterwards, he realized the danger.
"So, the solar system has been exposed, and multiple civilizations have sent fleets?!"
This information shocked Zhao Yu even more than the previous knowledge that the Moro fleet was coming.
This is being targeted by 22 civilizations, and among them there is a level 3 civilization named Mo Dou.
"How to choose?!"
Zhao Yu was silent. None of the three options were good.
He walked out of the control room and asked Uncle Da: "If we use a spaceship to leave the solar system now, how long will it take to reach the nearest star system?!"
"The nearest star system is about 4 light-years away from us, which is about 100 million kilometers. Our spacecraft can currently travel 288 million kilometers per day. It will take 359 years to reach the nearest star system..."
"359 years..."
If he gets on a spaceship and escapes from the solar system, it means that he will spend his entire life in an empty universe.
"Sir, what happened?!" Uncle Da asked worriedly.
Zhao Yu sighed and said: "The Moro fleet exploded Pluto and Neptune before leaving, and the space-time ripples caused were transmitted to a place 1,000 light-years away. Within this range, there are a total of 22 civilizations above level 1..."
"Now, they have discovered us and have sent a fleet towards the solar system..."
"What?!" Uncle Da was a little shocked, "What should we do?!"
Immediately afterwards, he asked: "Sir, when can we develop the technology to travel through wormholes like the Moro fleet?!"
Zhao Yu suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, "I'll go see it now!"
After saying that, he returned to the control room again.
After some searching, Zhao Yu's heart fell silent again.
The technology required to travel through wormholes has multiple prerequisites. In addition to type 2 particle black hole transformation, at least three basic disciplines must be upgraded to a level of 2.33 or above.
In addition, there are several secondary science and technology research institutes that need to be upgraded, and the total number of science and technology points required exceeds 80,000.
The problem is that he can no longer trade with Blue Star to obtain technology points.
Even if it is possible to trade, there is no way to obtain 80,000 technology points in a short period of time.
Because the technology points spent by the Institute of Basic Sciences and Science and Technology cannot be monetized, this means that he has to invest at least 30,000 technology points in it.
"Are you going to run away?!"
Zhao Yu sat in the control room, thinking about which of the three options to choose.
Option one, escaping alone means giving up Blue Star civilization, all humans on Blue Star will die, and Blue Star civilization will disappear.
If he is left alone, he will spend his whole life in the spaceship until his death.
Option two is to take all humans and escape in a spaceship, which means that they will spend at least 359 years on the spaceship.
It was fine when he was alive. He controlled all the spaceships himself and there would be no trouble.
But after his death and the release of power, it is still unknown whether human beings can survive intact for 359 years.
Moreover, if the enemy reaches the solar system, they can easily detect their movements and lock their trajectory. At that time, they can pass through the wormhole in advance, stop at the target galaxy, and lay traps.
As a result, the result of option two is that human civilization can only survive for another 359 years at most.
As for option three, defending the solar system may fail, but there is a glimmer of hope for success.
"Level 3 civilization..."
If there is no level 3 civilization, Zhao Yu will most likely choose option three because he has experience in defeating level 2 civilization.
But now, the base has just reached level 2. To upgrade to level 3, it still needs 190,000 technology points.
"Can the laser defense system stop level 2 civilization? Can it stop level 3 civilization?!"
Zhao Yu let out a long sigh and felt that it was unlikely. A level 3 civilization must have mastered a higher level of energy conversion method.
This means that their weapons may be beyond imagination and cannot be stopped by a mere laser defense system.
Leaning against the wall, Zhao Yu seriously thought about the meaning of his life and what death actually meant.
"Am I afraid of death?"
"Afraid!"
Zhao Yu admitted it simply.
Everyone in the world is afraid of death, and most people have a simple way to combat this fear.
Extending your heirs and letting your genes survive in another way can slightly alleviate the fear of death.
When Zhao Yu thought that after his death, all information about him would be erased, he felt an inexplicable tremor deep in his soul.
Suddenly, he had the urge to sow seeds like crazy to continue his bloodline.
"The meaning of living is that I don't want to die..."
"I don't want to die in fear of death when I face death in the future..."
Zhao Yu directly ruled out option one from the bottom of his heart. The only things that needed to be considered were options two and three.
"Option two, I will be very happy when I am alive. The only question is whether future generations can live to the 360th year?"
If not, the interruption of his bloodline means that all traces of his existence in this world and this universe will be completely erased.
"Believe in the wisdom of future generations?!"
Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I have a system, but I'm helpless. What can future generations do?!"
Future generations will only scold their predecessors for only caring about themselves and letting them suffer all this for nothing.
Especially the last generation of human beings may have to witness the destruction and end of human civilization with their own eyes. This kind of pain makes Zhao Yu feel scared just thinking about it.
"Option 1, if I can live until the end of my life and go to bed, human civilization will be destroyed within a year..."
"Option two, I can live until the end of my life and go to bed, and human civilization will be destroyed in 359 years..."
"Option three, we may all die on the battlefield, but human civilization has a glimmer of hope for survival..."
