Chapter 273 Awkward Chat
The two walked out of the venue one after the other, and they couldn't see each other's faces.
There were a lot of relics of the Nix civilization on display around, and many people would stop to study them with relish when they passed by. But neither of them had such leisure and elegance.
"Ahem..."
Yu Yifeng cleared his throat. There was no way. As a man, he could only bring up this topic first.
"Why don't we just make do with it?" He didn't know what to say, so he started with this sentence.
As soon as he said it, Yu Yifeng scolded himself for being stupid and why he didn't think before speaking. He might be used to being a leader, so he spoke very directly and said whatever he wanted.
Especially the group of scientists also liked this efficient way of communication very much... Over time, it was like a habit.
But now is not the same as before...
Yu Yifeng regretted it very much, but he didn't know how to make up for what he said.
Hearing this strange remark, Yuriko just hummed in a low voice, frowned slightly, and then followed.
An atmosphere called embarrassment spread between the two.
Yu Yifeng coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment: "Uh, that's not what I meant..."
But he couldn't tell what he meant, but that was actually what he meant. In his heart, he really agreed with "just make do" to avoid being nagged by the aunties and uncles. Of course, having a good impression in his heart is also one aspect.
Obviously, Yuriko is not a normal woman, and her thinking is also very unusual.
If she were a normal woman, she would have been pissed off, but she wouldn't.
She thought about it carefully and found that this method seemed to be good. Finally, she said quietly: "Reproduction is the instinct of life and the natural need of genes. Life that cannot reproduce has long been eliminated in the long river of time."
"...Love is a conspiracy to guide you to reproduce, and it is a poetic description of the reproductive impulse."
"And marriage is probably a compromise between the optimal reproductive strategy of men and the optimal strategy of women, and it is the Pareto optimal Nash equilibrium..."
Yes, this statement is very scientific, and Yu Yifeng couldn't react to what she meant for a while.
What Pareto optimality, Nash equilibrium...
But what she said was very consistent with her personality.
Marrying a wife like this... Well, it's okay, I can accept it...
Things like love and marriage, if it comes down to biology and sociology, it's not so embarrassing.
But Yuriko's face was blushing. She came because her elders said she had no choice... It's impossible not to be urged when there are older single women at home. It's really embarrassing.
"Then let's do it."
Yu Yifeng was silent for a long time. He didn't understand Yuriko's specific thoughts and said something he didn't know the meaning of.
He regretted it after he said it. What does "then let's do it" mean?
Yuriko was silent for a moment and said: "Okay."
What does "Okay" mean?
He was stunned. He just said something casually and got a "Okay" reply?
He didn't understand it at all. He instinctively wanted to grab his hair, but was blocked by the power armor helmet...
Maybe...it means agreement?
Yu Yifeng finally understood the meaning of a word today: awkward chat.
During the conversation, the two had already arrived at the final destination: a fully sealed super-large building, which is also the latest large building built by the Central Command.
There are mainly bedrooms, restaurants and various small offices here, which will be their future office areas.
This building implements the 4th level biological control standard, and no items from Nix Star can be brought in here.
Once entering the door, the power armor needs to be washed with boiling water all over the body, and then disinfected at a high temperature of two or three hundred degrees Celsius before entering the next security door.
After a series of disinfection procedures, the two came to the dressing room inside the building, took off the power armor, and felt relieved immediately.
In this large building, all the environments meet the human survival standards, and there is no interference from alien microorganisms. Humans can survive normally inside. Finally, they don’t have to wear power armor all the time!
This is also one of the best working environments on Nix Star. Except for the gravity environment, everything else is close to Noah.
Humans have been on Nix Star for so long, and various microbial vaccines and drugs have come out, getting rid of the dilemma of having no resistance. Moreover, in the process of excavating the ruins, people also found various drug formulas, which accelerated the defense process against microorganisms.
The immune system of the big black dog also played a significant role. It almost adapted to the environment of the Nix planet, and its antibody serum became a special medicine. However, its production is very limited, and it is better not to get sick...
"Let's go, let's go to dinner first."
Yu Yifeng finally got rid of this embarrassing mood. He was still very thick-skinned, and soon pretended to be fine, as if the awkward chat just now had never existed.
"Do you know about Thor City? The excavated electronic storage device, and the map..." Yu Yifeng asked as he walked, changing the topic.
When it comes to work, there is always so much to say.
"Of course I know."
Yuriko seemed a little angry, but she was still very serious about her work. She could only say angrily: "I still handle some of the cracking work."
Most of the books in that USB-disk-like electronic storage are romance novels and online novels. Purely a product of fantasy. These things actually don't have much value. At most, they can only estimate the living standards of the Knicks at that time.
Human beings have no time to appreciate the artistic level of Knicks civilization.
However, some of them are children's books, and most of the things in them are true and of relatively high value...
From this point of view, the owner of this USB flash drive may be a female creature with a child, and of course, maybe a male creature. And their thinking is quite similar to humans.
Yu Yifeng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately, we only found part of the history of the Nyx civilization in these books, but not the cause of their extinction."
Yuriko continued to say angrily: "Of course such a thing cannot exist! History is something that has already happened, and it can be recorded in writing. But they cannot know about future mass extinction events."
"If they are still alive after experiencing a mass extinction event, it is not called extinction. This is a paradox in itself."
Yu Yifeng shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. The occurrence of mass extinction events must be sequential. First there is a crisis, and then they find that the crisis is difficult to solve, and the entire population gradually dies step by step. Maybe the entire population of the planet will die in an instant?"
"Even if an interstellar civilization attacks, it is impossible to kill the entire population in an instant. There will definitely be a small number of survivors who will continue to survive. So, as long as there is a sequence, someone will definitely leave something like a diary."
"This is extremely important to us, even as much as the large amount of technology we are about to acquire! We must understand how they became extinct..."
Having said this, Yu Yifeng has forgotten the embarrassment just now, but is deeply worried about the future of mankind...
It is really unbelievable that such a powerful civilization became extinct like this.
Is it an external factor or an internal reason?
Now that things have developed like this, is there still going to be an internal war?
Will humans encounter such a dilemma?
Seeing Yu Yifeng thinking hard, there was a smile in Yuriko's eyes: "I think the possibility of aliens attacking is very small. If they really want to attack, they can directly blow up the planet. They are probably still It became extinct due to internal reasons.”
"Remember those nuclear radiations... This is not the earth. There are only a few cities in total, and most of them rely on volcanoes or nuclear power plants for energy. As long as a few are destroyed by nuclear bombs, the population will be greatly reduced."
"Moreover, even if there is no survival diary or the most direct evidence, we can still deduce it from various clues..."
"Also...didn't you say that we will become an interstellar civilization? No matter how difficult it is ahead, or whether there is a one-hundred-millionth pass rate of the Great Strainer of Life, we will become an interstellar civilization, right?"
Facing Yuriko's serious eyes, Yu Yifeng was slightly stunned.
He thought for a long time and then said solemnly, like an oath: "Yes, we will!"
