The few words I gave him caused a lot of questions, and I really didn't know where to start asking, so I had no choice but to stare at him, not knowing how to speak, the room suddenly fell silent. After a while, the man said again: "Now I know who you are, you are Wesley!" I nodded and still didn't say anything. The man said again: "However, we are still very worthy of comfort, because we have achieved results in our work. If you deal with it in your way, you will have been killed long ago." I still can't make a sound, because I'm like falling into a thick fog, completely unable to understand the truth of the matter.

All of a sudden, I asked a sentence that even I felt awkward, and I said: "Who are you? Are you from Earth?" The man looked at me for a long time, looking at my expression, he was obviously considering whether he should answer my question, I waited with bated breath, and waited for a full minute before the man nodded . I asked again: "Isn't this the earth?" The man paused for a while, then nodded. I asked again: "So what is this place? How did you get here?" The man showed a helpless smile and said, "I, I'll tell you everything, I believe you."

I hurriedly said, "You can definitely trust me!" The man walked to the window and looked at the grass outside the window. The grass was so lovely. I kept looking at him. The man stayed for a while, then turned around and said, "Say it, you may not believe it, you know, Among the nine planets in the solar system, only Saturn has a large ring!" I coughed and said, "Elementary school students know that too." The man's tone was slow: "We are now on this ring." I opened my mouth wide, really, I opened my mouth like a fool, not knowing what to say.It's too hard to believe that I'm on that ring of Saturn.

Astronomers on Earth have never known why Saturn has a large ring, nor do they know what is in Saturn's rings, but no matter what, if you tell astronomers that there are cities and people in Saturn's rings, then astronomers must Will laugh out loud. Naru said again: "This ring was established by our ancestors. At first, it was just a floating station far away from the surface of Saturn. Gradually, stations were built one by one. Today, it has finally become a large ring around Saturn. We made it Oxygen, self-made drinking water, breeding creatures on the earth, abandoning the inferiority of human beings on the earth, there is no dispute between us, no one wants to be a hero, no strife, slaughter, we live in a very peaceful and comfortable life."

I feel dizzy, because all this is something that I can't accept.I stayed for a while before I said, "How long have you been living this way? When did that happen?" The man said: "We have been maintaining the era on the earth. Counting it, it has been nearly 200,000 years." I can almost believe everything that man said, but when he said "two hundred thousand years", I laughed "haha", it was so ridiculous. I immediately said, "Two hundred thousand years?" The man said seriously, "That's right, the correct number should be two hundred and eight thousand seven hundred and forty-four years."

I nodded: "Yes, before two hundred and eight thousand seven hundred and forty-four years, you immigrated here from the earth, um, I'm really surprised, why didn't you have long hair on your body, because at that time, the earth There are only apes on the planet!" The man looked at me with pity in his expression. I had said something that he couldn't argue with, but from his expression, it seemed that I was an idiot who didn't know anything! I felt somewhat uneasy, and I said loudly again: "Why don't you speak, you can explain to me why the ape-man came to Saturn and built a floating station on Saturn!"

The man looked at me for a while, and then calmly said: "After our ancestors left the earth, only ape-men remained on the earth." I was taken aback: "What do you mean?" That human said: "At that time, our ancestors were 3,000 people. They were all peace-loving people. All destroyed, so they left the earth, after they left the earth, the misfortune they foresee finally happened!" I just felt a chill hit my whole body, and my body was shaking involuntarily. My voice was also trembling, and I already understood what he said, but I wanted to ask again, and I said, "You mean, you are the previous generation of earthlings?"

That human said: "It can be said like this, but the correct way to say it is that we are the descendants of the previous generation of Earthlings." I shook my head. The movement of shaking my head didn't mean that I didn't believe what he said. It was really a subconscious reaction of people after they were suddenly shocked by something inexplicable. The man continued: "Our ancestors, those three thousand people, were all first-class scientists and scholars. They left the earth and came to Saturn, but the surface of Saturn is not suitable for human habitation, so they are in the sky above Saturn. Established settlements, developed to today, and became a large ring around Saturn. When they arrived, they made a law that no earthlings were allowed to join them. Then, the tragedy they expected happened on the earth.”

I hurriedly said, "What tragedy?" The man said: "Mr. Wei, you are a wise man, I don't believe you will be unexpected!" I took a breath: "War?" The man said sadly: "War!" After he said those two words, he paused, and said: "It's not just war, it's the bad nature of human beings that destroyed human beings. Now, all of this is repeating again. Now on the earth, it has reached the point where all human beings were destroyed in those years." On the eve of , the time will not be too far away!" I took another breath, I really had nothing to say, the man said again: "The last destruction, the final reason, was because of a great war, but the formation of the great war did not happen suddenly, but Accumulated bit by bit, every ugly thing done by human beings is added to the points leading to the destruction of human beings, but human beings don’t know it, and they are still doing it desperately, digging their own graves.”

I added another sentence: "After the great destruction, the second generation gradually evolved?" The humane said: "Yes, the second generation is different from us in terms of physical structure, but psychologically it has not changed at all, the same ugly and inferior!" I tried my best to calm down my confused thoughts. I had to figure this out. I had to ask him every question. I also believed that he would answer me earnestly. I asked, "What's the difference physically?" The human said: "After a catastrophe, the temperature on the earth has increased. Originally, the highest temperature on the earth was what you said, four degrees Celsius. Don't you think that this temperature is still left on the earth until now?" A great feature?"

My eyes widened. In such a disordered mood, I really couldn't figure out what the characteristics of four degrees Celsius are. The humane said: "Water, the volume of water at 4 degrees Celsius is a standard volume. After 4 degrees, if the temperature drops, the volume will increase instead. This is against the ordinary law of thermal expansion and cold contraction." I kept nodding: "What is that for?" That human said: "Four degrees Celsius was the highest temperature on the earth in the past. At that time, water often existed at this temperature, and when the temperature dropped, the water expanded. Later, the temperature on the earth rose, and the water could not adapt to the natural environment, so It breaks the normal rules." I smiled wryly: "What's the difference?" That human said: "The nitrogen on the surface of the earth has increased, so the structure of our feet is different from yours. If our people live on the earth for a long time, due to inhaling too much nitrogen, the skin will form a scaly state. Don't you think Is the air here particularly fresh?" Yes, I think the air here is very fresh.In fact, when I suddenly came to that bullet-shaped long and narrow space, I had this feeling. Now, of course, I can know without a doubt that it is an intercontinental airship that can only take one person, and in order to keep the passengers from being lonely during the long-term flight, there is another method of hypnosis to make the passengers feel better during the journey. in deep sleep. And how could that eerie, absolute silence come about if not in spaceflight? I nodded my head, inhaling too much nitrogen, the skin will change from scales, about this, I am more sure, because Colonel Jack and I have seen a photo of one of them after death. The man said again: "The increase in the proportion of nitrogen has played a great role in the reproduction of low-level organisms. Therefore, on the earth, all kinds of bacteria have increased greatly compared to before. This is the result of the people on the earth. One of the greatest threats to human life is still a variety of diseases, almost insurmountable diseases, too many." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The man said sincerely: "What I said is completely true. Now, our population is about 15 million. We live in this big ring, and all the environments in this big ring have been transformed to be the same as before. Our earth is exactly the same. We have blue sky, fertile soil, cities, villages, and beautiful scenery. This is a real paradise, and what is more successful is that we have completely eradicated the bad roots of human beings. Back then Those who left the troubled and ugly earth are all people with extremely noble personalities, and they are committed to studying the influence of chromosomes in the human body on evil characters. Up to now, our 15 million people are all peaceful and noble people. No crime at all!" As the man spoke, I shook my head. But after he finished speaking, I didn't make a sound. The man looked at me curiously: "Which point do you disagree with me?" I said: "With regard to the inferiority of human beings, you may have been very successful, but not absolutely successful. At least you are selfish and jealous. You prevent the current earth people from discovering you, and you send people to the earth. I believe you are secretly. Must have done a lot of sabotage work to prevent the scientific progress of the people on Earth now?" The man laughed: "My friend, you are completely wrong. We did this to protect ourselves. Is it wrong to lock the door of our house by ourselves to prevent thieves from breaking in? Of course we will go Destroying the progress of the people on Earth is tantamount to snatching the weapons from the thieves first!" I said: "But you are still unsuccessful. Between you, there is a woman who once made an appointment with me. She said that she has something important to tell me. I think she must betray you, and your people will betray her again." Killed. Betrayal, informer, murder, what is that?" The man had an extremely helpless expression on his face after what I said. He sighed: "That's because they were sent to the earth. Even after so many years, the bad genetic factors may still cause trouble. Therefore, the people who were sent to the earth only worked for a short period of time and then transferred back. , but it is still inevitable that such a thing will happen.” I looked at the man: "Among you, how many of you have ever lived on Earth?" The man frowned: "Not many, from a hundred years ago to now, there are about 3,000 people, and these 3,000 people have more or less scales on their skin, and they are still alive." Yes, there are more than a thousand people." My expression was very serious, because in an instant, I thought of an extremely serious problem, and I said: "These more than a thousand people, including you, can be said to be a special class in the rings of Saturn. Don't you think there is a Is there a crisis lurking? These people, after living on Earth, will feel the joy of crime, destroy everything here, and establish their rule!" The man's complexion became very ugly, and he remained silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Okay, our conversation should end here, you should think more about your own destiny!" I don't understand why he wouldn't discuss it with me after I gave him such a friendly warning! Judging by his expression, not only is he unwilling to continue the discussion with me, but he also does not welcome me to mention this matter at all. I stayed there for a while before I said, "I can't think about my own fate, everything has to be decided by you!" The man paced back and forth, as if he was thinking about how to arrange me. After a while, he said: "This way..." He just said a few words, and there was a "sizzling" sound in the room. He turned around and pressed a button on the wall. I saw a wall move away. This was the first time in my life. Seeing such a real fax call, it seems like talking to another person through a glass. The person talking to that person was a beautiful blonde. Naturally, I couldn't understand what they were talking about, but the blonde's voice was so soft, and her demeanor was extremely graceful. She talked to the man for three minutes, then disappeared, and the man pressed the button again, and the wall returned to its original state. From what I have observed since I arrived here, I can draw a preliminary conclusion that the science and technology here is about ten centuries more advanced than the people on Earth today. If the development of science on Earth continues at the rate of nearly a hundred years, after a thousand years, it will still be at the same level as here! The man turned around: "You can stay with me first, remember, don't go out, if you see someone, don't open your mouth, I will arrange for you, you have to trust me!" I had no other choice at all, so I could only nod my head in agreement. He seemed to be rushing out as if he had something important to do all of a sudden. When he arrived at the door, he repeated what he had just said. I suddenly asked: "You said just now that there is no crime at all here with you, so, is it a crime that you took me in secretly?" I asked that question just for fun, because this is a logically very interesting thing. Everything they do here is based on the good nature of human beings, so they are so peaceful and stable. Because of the influence, they will never allow earthlings to arrive here. However, it is a manifestation of human kindness to help a person on earth who came here by chance without any malice like me, but he committed a crime by doing so, which is contrary to the law in the rings of Saturn. This is really a difficult answer. I expected that after hearing my question, the man would give a helpless wry smile and would not say anything. However, it was beyond my expectation. As soon as my words came out of my mouth, the man was greatly shocked. In an instant, his complexion became extremely ugly, and his expression also underwent a terrifying change. I couldn't help being stunned, and I hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I just asked casually, I hope you don't mind." The man stared at me for a long while before his expression returned to normal. He said: "You only need to wait for an hour, and you will know the answer!" Naturally, I didn't know what he meant by that. I watched him hurry out of the door, and I sat down on the sofa. After sitting for a while, I looked out the window at the grass outside. Those children were still playing on the grass, and they played very well. Although they were very young, during the half an hour I watched them, there was no quarrel at all, let alone the children who can be seen everywhere on the earth. The regiment fought. I visited this house again. There are many facilities. I don’t know what they are for, and I dare not touch them. However, as far as I know, everything here is really the highest enjoyment for human beings. . About an hour later, I heard the sound of a car, and then the man came back, and there were seven or eight other people who came into the house with him. I was surprised at first sight of so many people. Because the man himself said that I was not allowed to meet outsiders, but now he himself brought so many people here, so did he change his mind and plan to arrest me and execute me? At that moment, I almost wanted to run away immediately, but the man said: "Come, introduce a few friends. These few have all been to Earth twice, my good friends." I calmed down a bit, looked up and counted, there were seven strangers in total, they all came to shake hands with me one after another, two of them said: "We heard about you when we were on Earth." I didn't know what they were doing, so I had to deal with them. The man called everyone to sit down, and asked me to sit down. At that moment, I felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and I still couldn't tell why, but I already felt sensitively that something was not right, and something important was about to happen. What led to my sensitive thoughts was that suddenly, the expressions of the eight of them became very serious. I felt a little restless because I didn't know what they were thinking. After a while of silence, the man said: "Mr. Wei came to us, I believe it can help us succeed, because we just want to do what we want to do, But how to do it is really unfamiliar.” I couldn't bear the curiosity in my heart, so I immediately asked, "What do you want to do?" The man hesitated for a while, as if he was not sure whether he should tell me, but he finally made a decision, he said: "I think——we feel that we are missing something when we live here." He paused, and I became even more puzzled. What are they missing in this paradise? And, whatever it is they lack, how can I help them? The man took a breath and said word for word: "We lack power!" At that moment, I was really stunned, it was a shock that was absolutely unexpected, and after I was stunned, I knew that I almost wanted to laugh out loud immediately. I understood why the man reacted so strangely when I mentioned to him that those who have been to the earth may have had different plans, and why he was so shaken when I mentioned his crime, It turns out that the few of them, who have been to the earth several times, do have a small organization. They demand power, so it goes without saying that they naturally want to go through a turmoil and let them rule this "big ring". I didn't laugh, however, because at the same time I felt profoundly ridiculous, I also felt profoundly sad. People are always people, no matter how good their origins, how noble their qualities are, and how pure their environment is, but people are always people, people are animals, and people are not very different from other beasts—omnivorous animals—in the first place. Separately, in human genetic factors, even after 200,000 years, they still have a possessive heart, and under certain appropriate circumstances, they will show up, they will demand power, and they will demand that other people's Benefits, focus on yourself! I stared blankly at that person. At that time, the expression on my face must have been extremely strange, because those people all looked at me in bewilderment. The man licked his lips: "Why don't you speak?" The reason why I kept silent was because I really didn't know what to say. Under the pressure of that person, I said: "I remember, when I first arrived, you once introduced the environment here to me. , there is a sentence that made a deep impression on me." The man asked, "That sentence?" I said, "You said that here with you everything is peaceful and quiet, and no one wants to be a hero." The man was stunned for a while, showing a look of disapproval: "You are wrong, you think we want to be heroes, not at all, we just want the 15 million people here to live a better life, At the same time, protect everyone from being disturbed by foreign aggression!" I literally felt pain, for a split second, I really felt pain, so I closed my eyes. When the man said these few words, his tone was very sincere. It can be said that he really thought that way in his heart. However, in this case, such a tone, am I unfamiliar?I am not unfamiliar at all. On the earth, I have heard such words thousands of times. In order to make other people’s lives better, they have to come out and work hard. They are not to be heroes, but to serve others. For the sake of. "Being considerate of others" is the best pretense. Under this pretense, the ultimate goal of a careerist is to transform everyone into conforming to his law of thought. I closed my eyes for a long time before opening them. My voice sounded so weak that even I was surprised. I said, "Then, what can I do to help you?" Hearing my question, the man thought that I had promised to help them, so he seemed very happy. He said: "We have a management organization here, which is similar to the government on the earth. The person in charge of this management organization is elected by the public. , we want to overthrow it, and for...for..." He thought for a moment, and then said: "We are really not very good at...coup d'etat, so I invite you to be a consultant. You are from the earth, so you should be very familiar with that." I stood up, and at that moment, my expression became extremely serious: "You must understand that a coup d'état must lead to turmoil, and turmoil leads to violence. This is the most primitive manifestation of human inferiority." That person didn't make a sound, and the other said: "A small riot is enough to shock the people here, we can come forward, and you can play the role of rioting, because we really don't care about these things. It's very strange." I suppressed the anger in my heart, and said with a sneer: "You are too polite, sir, I think you are much better at these things than I am. Now, I have nothing else to say, I just want to return to Earth as soon as possible." go!" The man said, "Why don't you help us?" My voice was very serious: "You don't need my help at all. I believe that the people here have lived in peace for 200,000 years, and they are not wary of conspiracy and deceit. As long as you start to act, you can immediately success." Those few people all showed very happy expressions: "Really? You have so much confidence in us?" At that moment, I had already made a decision, so my expression no longer seemed so indifferent, I said: "Now, how many people are there in total who know your plan?" That human said: "It's all here, just us, but if we start to act, then more people will be contacted soon." I said, "Have they all been to Earth?" The man nodded and said, "Yes, all of them have been to Earth." I slowly took a breath: "If you want to succeed, you must have weapons. What weapons do you have?" The man shook his head and said, "No." One of them said: "I brought a gun back from the earth, I don't know if it is useful." I tried to keep myself calm: "Take it out for me to see?" The man took out a gun from his pocket, it was a spy pistol with a suppressor, and I took out the magazine, which contained seven rounds, and the gun was good and ready to fire. Then, my actions were beyond the imagination of a few of them, because after all, they are people from the rings of Saturn, not people from the earth. They have been to the earth, but they have only been to the earth, and I, But it is out-and-out, growing up on the earth. As soon as I pushed the bullet clip into the gun chamber, I pulled the trigger again and again. I fired seven shots in a row. Each shot hit a person's vitals. After seven "pat" sounds, only the person and I am still standing. The man was completely stunned, he opened his mouth wide, sweat dripped from his forehead, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why? Why are you?" I said: "Although I am from the earth, I like this place. I don't want everything here to be destroyed by you eight!" The man's face was pale: "So, you...you want to kill me too?" I nodded and said, "Yes." As I said that, I raised the butt of the gun and smashed it at the man's head. The man passed out without any resistance. I then picked up a heavy chair and pressed it down on him. Then, Before leaving, I used a lighter to light the curtains. No one noticed my departure, and I don't know what will happen when the house catches fire and thick smoke comes out, but I can be sure that the person will be burned to death! I walked, relying on the direction I remembered, and walked for a full day and night before I arrived at the "airport". On the way, I found many food restaurants, where everyone can eat freely, and their food is also very delicious. Naturally, I am not polite and do not treat myself badly. After arriving at the "airport", I spent quite a long time paying attention to the take-off and landing of those "bullets", and then I was sure that one of them was flying to the earth, and there was a person preparing to board that spaceship . I came to that person and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, the plan has changed, and now I'm going there, you can go back!" That man obviously has never been to the earth. When I said that, he looked at me with an expression of extreme astonishment. He was too unfamiliar with any deception, so although he felt that this fact was unacceptable, But still nodded. I took the briefcase from him with one hand, followed the ladder, and climbed onto the bullet. After a while, I was in extreme silence again, and then I fell asleep, just like when I came here. When I woke up again, I saw one end of the spaceship open, and I went out to a room where there was a person waiting. When the person saw me, he said, "Mr. Wei, I know you have I have been to the rings of Saturn, but I hope you will completely forget about it. We have found that sending people to the earth is a very dangerous thing. We have decided to end this operation and evacuate all personnel. I am the last one to leave. goodbye!" Before I knew how to answer the question, he pushed me away and entered the spaceship. After he boarded the spaceship, he turned around and said, "You leave quickly, everything here is about to be destroyed!" I was shocked in my heart, and hurriedly walked out, out of the house, it was midnight at that time, I rushed forward along the way, when I came to the beach, the house was already on fire. I returned home, and for two or three days in a row, I just sat blankly, thinking that human nature is a big circle, no matter how big the diameter of the circle is, human nature will always return to its original ugly side, what I have experienced The loop that has been passed is 200,000 years in time, but although 200,000 years is long, when you come back, it is still the original starting point. Although "they" have stopped sending people to the earth, and I have killed eight of them, there are still more than a thousand people who have been to the earth, and who can guarantee that those who have never been to the earth will not suddenly come to the earth again? How about back to the beginning of the ring? A big ring, human nature is turning around on the big ring, and can't get out! (full text)
