“I have no idea what Ms. Ruan Mei was thinking when she built such a meaningless passage. The company’s infrastructure services should not be so backward, right?”

After walking down the dim passage with only a few lights for a few minutes, Topa couldn’t help but complain. As a civil servant who needs to move around all year round, she has seen a variety of construction styles, but this is still a bit too outrageous.

Those who know will understand that this is an experimental base of a super genius, while those who don’t might think it is an underground shelter in some city.

“No, these channels are not meaningless.” At this time, Kevin suddenly denied her judgment.

“Huh? Why do you say that?” Hearing this, Topa couldn’t help but ask.

“In a relatively safe environment, mechanical transportation devices are certainly convenient. But once they encounter external problems, they are easily trapped… So under the premise of chaotic external conditions, the original channel is actually a safer option.”

Kevin then glanced around at the obviously boring environment and said, “Compared to a research base, I now tend to think that this place was originally designed to be an underground shelter.”

Abandoning the convenient transportation device and designing a primitive oblique passage, Kevin certainly understood the purpose of such a design. After all, in the former civilization that was plagued by collapse, humans built several large shelters like this in almost every city.

In order to prevent the entrances and exits from being accidentally blocked, or to prevent the situation where there are too many people to transport, there are even hundreds of entrances to the shelter, large and small, scattered throughout the city – after all, there is no need to worry about whether the Honkai Beast can find the shelter, as long as its safety is guaranteed.

According to Kevin’s current estimate, they may have only walked about one-tenth of the distance of this passage, and the real core location is still very far away.

“No…something feels wrong?”

Thinking of this, Kevin’s tone suddenly paused, and he told everyone very seriously: “The depth of this shelter doesn’t look like it’s intended to guard against any enemies or ferocious creatures, but more like it’s intended to prevent… natural disasters?”

That’s right, because even on Earth, a shelter about 100 meters underground is enough to resist the invasion of Honkai beasts. In other words, if you encounter an enemy that is smart enough to burrow underground, no matter how deep the shelter is, it will be useless.

And if this shelter thousands of meters deep is used to prevent the creatures outside from disturbing the place, it would be too redundant. Kevin does not think that such a genius would do such an irrational thing.

Then the biggest possibility is of course that there is something on this planet that is bothering the other party, so that she has to build her base so deep.

“Oh, how is this possible? Look, when we were in space just now, this planet clearly didn’t look like a dangerous environment. It’s even more habitable than Earth.” After hearing what Kevin said, little Ellie immediately waved her hands to refute.

If there was a disaster so dangerous that one had to hide in an underground shelter to avoid it, how could this planet be so beautiful and have so many species? This is just a joke!

Today, little Ai Li wants to prove to others that Kevin is not always right! She is the cutest, smartest and most beautiful girl…

————Boom!

However, just a second after little Ai Li finished speaking, the entire passage shook violently several times, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground.

“Ouch?!”

boom–!

Fortunately, although little Ai Li fell under the impact that was comparable to a huge earthquake, the passage where everyone was located did not change at all, and not even a speck of dust fell… This shows how safe Ms. Ruan Mei’s building is.

“It hurts so much, why am I so unlucky… Outside, what’s going on outside?!”

Little Ellie rubbed her butt in great pain, and then looked at Kevin not far away with a puzzled look.

But the other party frowned, and after a few seconds he said softly: “There is nothing outside.”

“ah??!”

Chapter 304: Ruan Mei: Yes, I did that.

Kevin had no intention of lying or hiding anything about this. The real situation was just as Kevin had said, there was nothing left outside.

This planet, which was full of life and vitality just a few minutes ago, has completely turned into a sea of ​​fire in just a moment. Judging from its power, it must be hundreds or thousands of degrees. It is impossible for any life to survive in it.

Although it was impossible to infer what happened outside for a while, little Ai Li only fell down in such a horrific scene. She should really thank Ms. Ruan Mei for the excellent quality of her infrastructure.

“Mr. Kevin, are you kidding? There is nothing outside…what does this mean?” Topa couldn’t help but ask.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust the other party, but the key is that such words are really alarmist. It’s like someone telling you right after you leave school that your school has been blown into a big hole by a gas explosion. How can you expect others to believe such words at the first time?

Besides, this is not just a small school, it’s an entire planet!

There is no credible judicial institution in this universe, but that doesn’t mean there is no concept of planetary extinction crime.

Kevin did not answer her question directly. Instead, he looked into Topa’s eyes for a few seconds before saying, “I’m not good at joking.”

If this is really a joke, then it is really cold and I don’t know what kind of person can come up with it.

“How could this happen? Could it be that someone used a star-destroying weapon? But there shouldn’t be other people in a place like this… Could it be that Ms. Ruan Mei did it herself? But what’s the point of this?”

Having said that, Topa had to start to seriously consider the reality of the planet’s extinction. She lowered her head slightly, feeling that her CPU was about to burn out.

There is no doubt that the people who wrote about the genius club would use an entire planet as a test bed. Even companies have done similar things, let alone these geniuses whose style of doing things is hardly eclectic?

But even if the experimental sites selected by the company are mostly on extinct planets where life is almost impossible to produce, the public opinion of extinction of life is not suitable for a business group like them. That is what the Antimatter Corps should do.

Even if Ms. Ruan Mei didn’t care about her planet, there was no need to burn it down, especially after they entered here.

Even if your family owns dozens of cotton plantations, who would have the leisure time to burn one for fun?

Compared to this, Topa was more inclined to believe that someone was targeting Dr. Ruan Mei. The reason why they ran into this gun was just a coincidence.

This conclusion may sound strange, but it is entirely possible after all.

Unfortunately, Kevin broke her seemingly perfect idea in the next second——

“I can describe how the instantaneous destruction outside happened. It was as if the distance between the star at the core of the galaxy and this planet suddenly shortened by half.”

“In that instant, the planet that was originally quite habitable was completely ignited and fell into a sea of ​​fire… Although I couldn’t see it, I could feel it. It happened in an instant.”

The nature of the universe may indeed be cold and dead, but this does not mean that people can ignore those stars that seem to be burning forever.

Their heat is indeed insignificant to the entire universe, but for most life forms, it is so extreme that it can be burned to ashes just by approaching.

In such an extremely hot and cold universe, the birth of life is a miracle in itself – because not to mention the time span and randomness it requires, the requirements for the environment alone are extremely harsh.

The distance between this planet and the star in the galaxy must be moderate, and it must also contain a complete atmosphere and various basic substances required for life, so that there is a slight possibility that life can be created from scratch over billions of years.

How important are the environmental requirements? For example, compared to the solar system, Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, has a surface temperature range of -198°C to 428°C. This is not only a matter of distance, but also the mass and material composition of the planet itself.

Even if it is the Earth, if its distance from the Sun is shortened a little, and even falls into a position almost the same as what Kevin just described… the ending will probably be like this planet, being buried in a sea of ​​fire in an instant.

As for why Kevin was so clear about this situation…isn’t his act of releasing the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire with all his strength on a planet almost the same as a star falling?

If he was not very clear about his current situation, he might have thought that the scene outside was his masterpiece.

“……”

After the words fell, everyone inevitably fell into silence. Although they could not verify the scene Kevin described, it did not mean that they could not understand it.

“I believe what you said, Mr. Kevin… Although I don’t have your strong power, the knight’s senses can also let me roughly feel the external environment.”

In the silence, Yinzhi suddenly spoke up: “Destroying an entire planet with life is something that I, as a pure and beautiful knight, cannot agree with. I believe that most of the life in the universe will be angry about this.”

“Everyone, this is the territory of Ms. Ruan Mei after all. Instead of standing here and being complacent, it would be better to go directly to the bottom, so that you are more likely to find the answer… right?”

This pure and beautiful knight is indeed much calmer and more rational than he appears. Otherwise, how could he move forward alone in this dangerous universe?

“What the Knight of Silver Branch said is quite right. Mr. Kevin…it seems that you are in a constant state of trouble.”

With Topa’s slight joke, the atmosphere in the field did improve a lot. However, Kevin didn’t say anything about it, but just walked past Little Ellie as an example and walked in front.

In the next ten minutes, the people walking in the long passage did not encounter any troubles as they imagined. Even when they finally reached the gate at the end of the passage and thought that there would be at least some difficulties next…

A Q-version projection suddenly appeared, blocking their way, and at the same time, it made a sound that was incompatible with its image –

“I know that everyone who has come here may have some doubts, but before answering your questions, I still want to celebrate your good luck in not being stranded before the ‘extinction period’ arrives.”

“And the first question that can be answered after the blessing is… Although it may be wrong with your guess, those [things] outside…”

“I did make them.”

Chapter 305 Ruan Mei: Isn’t it me who gave them life?

There is no doubt that Dr. Ruan Mei admitted what she had done outside without any hesitation.

Even though he is a member of the genius club and possesses wisdom that is almost unmatched in the entire universe…an act like this, which exterminates the life of an entire planet, is bound to be despised by most people.

Although it is inevitable that there are many people in this universe who look down on those planets that have no intelligent life, and even look down on ordinary people who are the majority. But at least they are also very clear that they are still from their group after all, right?

Even if a person’s wisdom may indeed surpass the sum of all his predecessors over thousands of years from the moment he is born, and even if those predecessors have studied the subject for their entire lives, it is only to save this genius a few minutes of verification time at some point…but if there is no continuation of life, how could he be born?

Are you kidding? Is he going to jump out from between the rocks?

Only one out of billions of planets will give birth to life by chance, and only a few coincidences among billions of life-bearing planets will allow a certain race to embark on the journey of civilization and wisdom. With such probabilities, who dares to deny that the birth of life is not a miracle?

If Dr. Ruan Mei has really reached the point where she can completely abandon morality for the sake of research, then from a certain perspective, she is even more disgusting than the antimatter army whose only thought is to bring the world to silence.

Everyone present absolutely did not want to see such a genius fall to such a state, so after Ruan Mei admitted the incident, even though everyone’s expressions were different, they all became very bad without exception.

But no matter what other people thought, Kevin did not jump to conclusions right away… It was not because he trusted Ms. Ruan Mei so much. After all, he had never even met her once.

It’s because Dr. Mebius is like this – she always likes to hide something about some important things, and then guide others to think about the problem in a distorted way, so as to achieve her own goals, or it can be said that she has a bit of bad taste.

As expected, after an unusually unreasonable pause of several seconds, the projection left by Dr. Ruan Mei slowly spoke the following words:

“You know, to make a barren planet give birth to a complete ecosystem with hundreds of thousands of species within a few days… Even for me, this is a big challenge.”

“Ha, we knew that this guy was really… Hey, wait, what?!” Little Padu was about to reach out and accuse this evil woman, but suddenly she realized that what the other party said seemed to be different from what she thought.

What do you mean, creating a life system for an entire planet is also a big challenge for her… Isn’t it true that this entire life planet was destroyed by this guy? !

Before Paduo’s little head could turn around, she heard the projection of Ruan Mei continue to explain the reason: “Due to the special composition of the galaxy, even though this planet already contains all the basic conditions for the birth of life, there is no possibility of the birth of life at all.”

“Because after every week, which is seven days and nights on this planet, the star paths that were originally at a safe distance will move to a position that is several times shorter, raising the surface temperature of the entire planet to nearly a thousand degrees Celsius.”

“Under such an environment, not to mention the birth of life on this planet, even among all the known species in the universe, there are not many that can survive on it.”

“Seven days, just seven days… This is a fleeting moment in a human’s life, let alone the birth of life. Before that day, even I didn’t believe that any life form could really be born on such a planet… But it just happened.”

“At that moment, I suddenly understood that the ultimate of life may not need anyone to deliberately promote it. They themselves are miracles and will create miracles on their own… Just like the birth of the “Star Gods”, don’t most of them appear in absurd scenes?”

According to most people’s conventional understanding of the Genius Club, there is no doubt that Dr. Ruan Mei’s research in the field of life is definitely hundreds or thousands of years ahead of the most authoritative scientific research fields in the universe.

For someone like her, there may not be any big secrets about any life form in the universe, except… the “Star God”.

But no matter how dazzling they are at this moment, aren’t they still born from countless ordinary lives? They are beyond life, but it is undeniable that they also come from life.

So, after seeing life on this planet where it is almost impossible for life to arise, Dr. Ruan Mei suddenly had this idea:

“I used a few tricks to enable the life on this planet to evolve over tens of millions of years in just seven days… Even I have no way of predicting what form and degree these lives will evolve to, and they will also meet the end of their reincarnation on the seventh day.”

“That’s right. I actually never thought that such an experiment could be successful on the first try or even within several attempts. After all, life is a fragile thing. No matter how hard you try, it is impossible for them on this planet to survive in the surface temperature of nearly a thousand degrees.”

“But it doesn’t matter. The arrival of the seventh day will completely destroy all traces of their existence, and the new seven days will bring hundreds of thousands of completely different types of life… Who can be sure that they will not be able to find a ‘way out’ on their own after countless reincarnations?”

“It is precisely because I believe that life is a miracle that I provide them with such an environment… Although the final result may not be successful, after all, I cannot guarantee that the means I have left behind will be effective in every reincarnation.”

“But at least, in one of the reincarnations on this planet, hundreds of thousands of species of life once existed. And the reason they died was simply because they were unable to adapt to the environment.”

After all, without her operation, this desolate planet would never have been able to burst into such a brilliant spark of life, right?

From the perspective of the universe, any life other than the “Star God” is short and powerless. Seven days, seven years, or even seven hundred years, it doesn’t make any sense.

At least they existed.

Chapter 306 You can of course choose to reject all of this

“Wait, wait a minute. My brain seems to be slow to react. What… is going on?!” There is no doubt that after receiving such a huge amount of information in an instant, little Pado’s brain immediately went into shutdown mode.

Could it be that Ms. Ruan Mei meant that this was originally a barren planet that would occasionally fall into high-temperature periods due to environmental reasons? Then, the powerful opponent successfully allowed many lives to be born on this planet within a few days.

But it is obvious that no matter how miraculous the life created in such a short time is, it is unlikely to give birth to intelligence or even a higher level of civilization… So they simply cannot realize that their lives will come to an end within seven days.

But it doesn’t matter. After all, even if these hundreds of millions of lives died after seven days, it wouldn’t matter. After all, new lives would be born again in the next reincarnation. Their types would still be numerous, but they would have nothing to do with the lives in the previous reincarnation.

For Ms. Ruan Mei, the success or failure of this experiment, and the life and death of billions of lives, do not concern her much – after all, her original intention of creating this experiment was just a spontaneous act, in pursuit of the miracle of life.

If it succeeds, that would be great, but if it fails…it won’t have any impact on her.

So, can this behavior be considered as extermination of life?

In a sense, these lives were born because of Ruan Mei’s actions, and they were her creations. And the fundamental reason for the extinction of these lives was not her own, it was just the most basic operating law of this planet.

These lives, from birth to death, never know what kind of environment they are living in – they don’t know that their lives are just the result of the casual creation of others, and they don’t know that this seemingly entire world, including their own lives, can actually only last for a short seven days.

Obviously, most people present at this moment did not know how to judge such behavior. They knew very well that their perspective and views were very one-sided, but even so, they still could not suppress the anger in their hearts.
