Chapter 10 Chapter 9 The Source of Life

In order to reward me, Mrs. Zheng asked me what gift I wanted. I asked for that copper box. , more than enough. The copper box has always been in the storage room of my residence, and of course it is still there now. If the thing the red man is looking for is in the copper box, it is really easy to get it back. It may be because of my excitement (more likely, they have the ability to sense that my brain activity is different from usual due to excitement), the red man's voice was extremely tense: "Did you think of something?" I made a gesture first, and several celebrities came over together, their slender necks entangled again, and I said, "How can you be so sure that this thing is still there, and it wasn't destroyed by the Tianlongxing people?"

The red man said: "No, the Tianlong star is very bad, he wants to use that thing against us──" I said in passing: "Oh, by the way, that thing is your 'source of life'." When the few celebrities in front of me heard this, they fell silent together, their bright red eyes rolled around, and their expressions were extremely strange. I sighed: "You want my help, but you refuse to tell me everything in detail. I'm afraid it's not right to do so." The red man and the others made a series of weird voices, "discussed" for a while, and then said: "Okay, let me tell you, it's up to you whether you understand or not. Our life form is very special, and it is different from people on Earth... and People on other planets are never the same."

I nodded: "In the first place, every advanced creature on a star must have its own unique life form." The red man paused: "Our life has an important part, and we must rely on a kind of energy supplement on a regular basis—a regular intake of this kind of energy, just like people on Earth... people on Earth..." He seemed to want to give me an example to make me understand, and I said, "Like people on earth need to take vitamins regularly?" The red man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It's kind of like it, but the situation is much more complicated. This kind of energy is emitted by a kind of ore in our planet—the one you just saw. This kind of ore is very common on our planet—"

I was puzzled: "Since it's very common, why do you have to search hard for a piece of it taken away by the Tianlongxing people?" The red man let out a long sigh: "This is where the complexity lies. Ever since we ingested the energy radiated from the ore since we were young, we have been able to only ingest the energy of this ore, but not the energy of other ores—although we have always Until now, it is still impossible to understand why this happens, because the composition of each ore is exactly the same, perhaps, this is the mystery of life, advanced creatures, no matter which star they live on, cannot understand the real mystery of their own life."

The red man spoke up to this point in one breath, and I could already hear a sense of emptiness. I really didn't understand what he said, but he spoke thoroughly, and I could understand it with my own imagination. I thought about it for a while: "As for minerals that emit energy, the energy cannot be continuously emitted forever. If the energy is emitted, then—" The red man said: "After the energy is launched...for fifty earth years, people who do not receive energy replenishment will die." I blinked my eyes, what an incredible life form, life is maintained by the energy emission of minerals.

But when I think about it, there is nothing special. Isn’t the life of people on earth also maintained by a gas called oxygen?In terms of form, it is basically the same, people on earth cannot understand the mysteries of their own lives, and neither can red people. I was stunned for a moment, and then said again: "A piece of ore...can become the source of life for many people?" The red man nodded: "After a long period of evolution, a piece of ore is most suitable to be the source of life for 120 people. These 120 people have already been organized into a group when they were born. From now on, we will live together, live and die together, this is a form of life that does not exist on earth."

I became more and more aware of the matter: "The Draconians tricked away one of the ores, and now—" The red man said: "Already almost fifty earth years." I nodded vigorously: "That is to say, if you can't find that thing again, there will be one hundred and twenty red people... dying?" There were seventeen or eight popular people gathered in front of me at this time. Originally, because of my strong comprehension ability, they all seemed quite happy to understand their unique life form. Shaking their slender and long necks, and constantly making strange creaking noises, at this moment, they suddenly fell silent.

I knew I was right, and the death of those one hundred and twenty people must have been very serious, otherwise, it would not be a big deal if one hundred and twenty people were missing on a star. I took a breath: "Among the one hundred and twenty people, is there someone who is very important to...you?" The red man closed his eyes for a while, and then nodded: "Yes, it's very important. That day, the Dragon Star people just wanted to use this to control him and further control us. But he is very great, and he would rather sacrifice than us suffer." For many years, we have been trying to find the source of life, but there has been no result──”

I said "ah", "That's your leader." The celebrities fell silent again, and then, sighing together, I couldn't help but stamp my feet: "You are too stupid, since you are the leader's 'source of life', how can you teach people to deceive you so easily?" Lowering their heads (of course they don't "blush"), the red man said: "Yes, we...we don't guard against people, we...we..." Looking at his hesitation about his inability to make a judgment, it proves that this kind of alien with a terrifying appearance is extremely kind-hearted, and I like them more and more, and I am willing to do everything in my power to help them. So I told them what I just thought of.

All the celebrities were inexplicably excited and muttered loudly, and I said, "I just guessed it might be possible, not necessarily true." The red man said: "It must be in that copper box. It's great. There's still time. I can take it back in time to save lives. This is really the greatest news on our planet. I really don't know how to thank you." When he was speaking, his blood-red head stretched out closer and closer to me, and I could not only feel the hot air coming out of his mouth, but also feel the froth flying from his mouth.Seeing that he was so excited that he wanted to wrap his slender neck around my neck, I couldn't help being shocked, fearing that I wouldn't be able to bear the excitement, so I hurriedly said: "It's all just speculation."

The red man shook his head, and all the red men in the spaceship shook their heads in a flash, which was a spectacle. Seeing them so excited, I felt very worried, because if the ore that could sustain their leader's life was not in the copper box, they would be so disappointed. I have repeatedly stated that everything is just an assumption, and it is absolutely impossible to be sure whether it is a fact, lest the higher their hopes, the greater their disappointment. But the characters of the celebrities seem to be quite simple, and they are still inexplicably happy.The red man pressed a few buttons, and an object like a fluorescent screen was revealed. On it was a map of the world in different shades of red. The red man asked, "Where do you live-" I reached out and pointed at the city where I lived, and the red man muttered a few words before giving an order, and then asked me: "Our transportation is faster──" I was startled, and my palms were a little sweaty.It would be great to be able to take their spaceship to go home, but if the spaceship landed on the roof of my residence, no matter how courageous Bai Su was, he would not be able to bear it. I hurriedly said: "I think...you look very scary, it's better to arrange your itinerary." The red man agreed: "As you like." I thought about it for a while, and asked their spaceship to stop in a secluded suburb, and then I went into the city to get the copper box, and handed it to them as quickly as possible, lest their whereabouts be discovered. The red man nodded and agreed: "We have been active on the earth for many years, and we have always been very careful. There is no record of showing up in front of people. Except for the half-day dragon star, you are the first earthling to talk to us face to face. " I suddenly thought of a question: "As far as you know, how many aliens are active on the earth?" The red man made a ghostly look: "Do you still need to ask? Do you think that so many records of UFOs are all illusions formed by the refraction of light in the air?" I took a deep breath, and felt deeply sad for the people on earth. Humans are so unwilling to face the facts, and they are no different from ostriches with their heads buried in the sand. I wanted to know more about the situation from their mouths, but the red man said: "Most aliens, because their forms are too different from those on Earth, do not observe and study the earth on the surface of the earth, nor They don’t want to be noticed by the people on Earth—like us, that’s it. As for those who look similar to people on Earth, I don’t know what their situation is. You should have the opportunity to meet the Draconians, and you can ask them. " I smiled wryly in my heart, and asked the Dragon Star people?I'm afraid there will be no results.Because I at least know that the Draco people are quite cunning, and their level of treachery is probably far higher than that of the people on the earth. If they are engaged in activities that are not good for the earth, how can they tell the truth to people? I was just asking questions, and didn't notice that the spaceship had already taken off. The red man showed me the display of the spaceship moving very fast. (Interestingly, when I was discussing with the Red Man, the Red Man mentioned many records of unidentified flying objects. And when the Red Man's spaceship was approaching the city where I lived, it was also discovered due to its lowered altitude. Not only was it discovered , and a person was shooting a video for his girlfriend, and recorded the scene where the spaceship passed by and left a red shadow.) (That record, arguably the clearest record of UFOs in the world, has been repeatedly broadcast on television news time.) (Of course, it didn't attract much attention. The explanation of the relevant authorities is: the refraction image in the air, and so on. Haha!) The spaceship landed on a very remote seaside. When I left the spaceship, I looked back and saw that the shape of the spaceship was hexagonal, not too big, and of course it was red. Not long after I left, there was a rather hoarse bang, and the spaceship lifted off quickly, leaving a circular groove on the rocks by the sea—caused by the high temperature. The spaceship quickly disappeared in the sky, and I gathered myself together before finding a way to go forward. After a while, I arrived on the road. After waiting for half an hour, the car passed by. I asked the driver to take me to the city. Two hours later, I returned to the residence, grabbed Bai Su, went into the study, and couldn't wait to tell her everything that had happened. Although I haven't dealt with aliens for the last time since the blue-blooded people, but like this time, getting along with aliens with extremely weird appearance for a long time directly, and even riding their spaceships, it's amazing. It was still a very fresh experience, and when I described it to Bai Su, it still felt like a dream. It was very interesting for Bai Su to hear it - of course we were not always in the study room. While we were narrating, we went into the storage room, found the copper box, and then went back to the study room. Mezzanine, but to no avail. I thought to myself, the red people have very sophisticated instruments, and if I hand them the copper box, I can see that they must be waiting anxiously. I carried the box and drove with Bai Su to the beach. Before going out, Bai Su suddenly said: "That kind of red alien must have an appetite for good times and beautiful scenery." I casually asked: "Why?" Bai Su smiled: "Liangchen and Meijing only wear bright red clothes, similar to celebrities, should I take them to have a look together?" I was taken aback: "No way, these two brats are so bold that they dare to do anything. If they take a few celebrities to visit our city, it will be the end of the world." Bai Su glared at me: "I see you are so scared." I really wanted to feel scared, I took a deep breath, luckily I got into the car and drove away, the good time and the beautiful scenery did not happen to hit me. Two hours later, the car stopped at the secluded beach. At that time, it was early morning, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.As soon as we arrived, we looked up at the dark sky, and saw a red shadow directly above our heads, which was so fast that it was unimaginable. All of a sudden, the spaceship stopped not far from us. I hurriedly held Bai Su's hand: "You must be mentally prepared, their appearance is really unflattering." Bai Su nodded, and the door of the spaceship opened. I carried the box in one hand and held Bai Su's hand in the other, and walked into the spaceship. Seventeen or eight red people stretched their heads together and stretched out in front of us. Although Bai Su I had already been mentally prepared, but I couldn't help sweating my palms and inhaling frequently. The red man has already taken the copper box from me, muttering, and handing it over to the other two.He looked very nervous: "There will be an answer soon. The help you have given us is too... I don't know how to thank you. You are welcome to play on our planet." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "How long will it take to go back and forth?" The red man tilted his head and thought for a while: "About twenty earth years." Both Bai Su and I involuntarily let out a low sigh.We really hope to "travel" to the planet of the red man, but the lives of people on earth are so short that it takes twenty years to come and go. People on earth really cannot afford to waste a quarter of their lives. Spend on sightseeing only one planet. Therefore, Bai Su and I had no choice but to shake our heads slowly. At this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out—although it was just a very weird sound, but that kind of joyful emotion can infect us and make us Know that the Reds are cheering. That is of course because my hypothesis has been confirmed, and what they are looking for is exactly hidden in that copper box. This time, the celebrity's enthusiasm could no longer be suppressed. In the next three to five minutes, fortunately, Bai Su and I held hands tightly so that we could support each other. Because I don't know how many red men stretched their heads over, their thin and long strip-shaped necks, like ribbons, wrapped around our bodies, some around the necks, some around the body.Their heads were facing us as much as possible, and they squeezed their shoulders and eyes, expressing the joy in their hearts, but that expression was really weird and terrifying to our eyes, as for the extreme point.Until a long time later, when I closed my eyes, I still seemed to see that terrible scene; at that time, my whole body was numb for three to five minutes, and I don't know how I got through it. Fortunately, the celebrity made a few loud grunts, which made the enthusiastic and unrestrained celebrities who expressed their gratitude to us retreat reluctantly.Knowing that they didn't mean anything malicious, Bai Su and I still couldn't help shaking. The red man came to us: "We are in a hurry to go back, thank you very much, by the way, in that copper box, there is not only the 'source of life' we want, but also one more thing." As he said that, he handed me a flat, silver-white box that looked like an old cigarette case. I took it over, although the box was small, but quite heavy, I said: "What is this?" The red man shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it belonged to the Dragon Star people that day. When you meet the Dragon Star people, you can return them." I thought in my heart that the red heart is kind, and I got another proof.The Draconians lied to them about such an important thing, and they had been looking for it for so long, but as soon as they found something that belonged to the Draconians, they took it for granted and returned it to the original owner without any consideration. This also reminded me that Zheng Baoyun's statement that he was afraid of celebrities and that he wanted to get rid of them was a bit false. At least, the way he left me to the celebrities was not aboveboard. For aliens with such good personalities, I am very happy to get close to them. They are anxious to go back and will not come again in the future. I have no chance to see them. Both Bai Su and I were a little sad, we took the initiative to shake hands with the red man, and then we walked towards the exit of the spaceship.After leaving, the spaceship lifted off immediately and disappeared in an instant. I looked up and muttered to myself: "How many weird life forms are there in the universe? There is a kind of life that can only be maintained by the energy emitted by a mineral—combining life and the radiated energy of the mineral, Is this progress or backwardness?" Bai Su took a breath: "Whether progress is backward or not, at least it has a sense of fate, similar to human fate. I wonder if the emission of mineral energy can be predicted?" I smiled wryly: "I'm afraid I can't. If I could, wouldn't everyone know when they will die?" Bai Su remained silent for a long time, while we were talking, we all looked up at the dark starry sky, until then, we lowered our heads and looked at each other, both of us could know from each other's bewildered eyes that there was no answer. We held hands tightly and walked towards the car. After sitting down in the car, I still couldn't calm down for a long time. I took out the heavy flat box from my pocket, turned on the lights in the car, and watched with Bai Su. . The lights in the car are not very bright, and it is by no means a good place to study unknown objects, but Bai Su has always known that I am impatient, so I let me look over and over again, and she just helped out. I tried to open it, but it looked like a flat piece of metal. After watching for a few minutes, I raised my head and looked at Bai Su: "Zheng Tianlu, a Draconian, is very cunning. He designed Zheng Baoyun to choose not to be an Earthling, and lied to the source of life of the celebrity, trying to control the celebrity. I'm afraid it will work a lot." Bai Su completely agreed with me, but she said: "But we have no way of knowing what it is." With an unconvinced expression on my face, Bai Su smiled and said, "I'm not even sure if it's something from the Tianlong star, maybe Zheng Tianlu cheated it on another star, the universe is vast, where can I find it?" I put the metal plate in my hand and kept throwing it up and down.Bai Su's analysis is very reasonable, but it is not completely untraceable.Zheng Baoyun went to find their kind, at least he could ask them what it was, and he could do some work himself, such as taking X-rays to see if there were any tricks in it. That night, when Bai Su drove back home, Dongfang was already pale.Although we ran around all night, Bai Su and I were very excited. In our various adventure lives, it was the first time that we had such a long and direct contact with alien advanced creatures.More importantly, it was a peaceful, mutual and friendly contact. Red people once criticized that people on earth are born with a narrow and exclusive concept. The people in Zhangjia Village regard the people in Lijia Village as enemies, and the struggle between countries and nations, and the struggle between nations will inevitably be as big as the stars of the universe in the future. The high-level creatures on the planet clashed.This kind of exclusivity is naturally not a blessing for the people on earth. I also thought that when the popular people expressed their gratitude to us and "hugged" us with their long necks, they knew that there was no malice, but thinking of the extremely uncomfortable feeling now, I can't help but tremble all over my body. And the shape of our earthlings, in the eyes of popular people, isn't it weird and inexplicable?The celebrity doesn't take us as a blame, and is willing to take the initiative to get close to us. If I am asked to take the initiative to get close to the celebrity, it is really impossible. This natural shortcoming of human beings on earth may cause the biggest obstacle to the communication of advanced creatures on the earth and other planets. As I thought about it, I talked about what I thought one after another, Bai Su agreed with most of them, and finally she said: "This association with the celebrity is just an episode in the main event." I understood what she meant: "Yes, the main thing is the Draconians." Bai Su thought for a while: "I...for some reason, I already have the idea that Draconians are not good people." I waved my hand: "Of course it's not a good thing, even a person with only half the blood of Tianlongxing is not a good thing, he even teased me, got away by himself, and left me to the red men, if I didn't handle it well, those red men would wrap me up Come on, that's enough trouble." Bai Su smiled: "Isn't it just a manifestation of narrowness and exclusivity that we have such an opinion?" I was taken aback for a moment, a little hesitant: "No...it's not." Bai Su didn't say anything else, he yawned, indicating that he wanted to rest, but I was not tired, I still stayed in the study, studying the metal plate.At the same time, I hope Zheng Baoyun will contact me soon. I scratched the metal plate with a sharp knife without leaving a trace. I really don't see any use for this thing, but if it is an element that does not exist on the earth, what use is it? Only the original owner can know. Until the sun is three poles.Only then did I feel a little tired, half lying in the easy chair and falling asleep. I don’t know how long I slept, but I was awakened by a chirping sound. I was in a trance, and when I heard this sound, I thought those red people who made the chirping sound had returned. I was startled (innately Exclusiveness broke out again), immediately stood up and opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw a red shadow shaking in front of his eyes. But the swaying figure is naturally not a celebrity, but a good day and a beautiful scene that loves to wear bright red clothes.
