Chapter 537 Seeking the truth
"But if what you said is true, the earth might have been discovered and blocked a long time ago?" Zheng Shu touched his chin and thought of a new question.
The contact between humans on Earth and aliens is not something that has happened in recent decades. Strictly speaking, there has actually been contact one or two thousand years ago. Legends such as vampires and werewolves were left behind by those aliens.
"Logically speaking, if those legends about immortals were also left by aliens, then it's possible... No! It's still not right. This doesn't match the blockade of the Earth."
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Zheng Shu also heard Wu Da's answer at the same time.
"That's true. Judging from the frequency and timing of contact between Earthlings and aliens, Earth should have been in the sight of the Interstellar Alliance a long time ago. But they didn't show up until humans on Earth were able to leave the planet independently in recent years. And judging from their behavior, it seems like they are trying to seal Earthlings off to Earth."
Wu Da also looked quite confused: "To be honest, this is also something I don't understand.
If there are any taboos on Earth that need to be blocked, then using the strength of the Interstellar Alliance to directly activate the Star Destroyer should be a better choice. Now this behavior makes me even more incomprehensible. It is completely illogical to blockade a planet with low civilization for such a long time and effort. "
After listening to Wu Da's words, Zheng Shu thought for a moment, then looked at the other party with a hint of understanding.
"So, this time the underground organization was eradicated, you deliberately exposed yourself?"
"It seems I can't hide it from you." Wu Da smiled awkwardly and then became serious again.
“As I said before, due to the gap in strength, my investigation has hit a bottleneck and there has been no progress in the past few decades.
Although I know that there are people from the Interstellar Union behind this underground organization, it is impossible for me to force them out with my strength. If I reveal my whereabouts rashly, I will only give away my life in vain. "
After taking a look at Zheng Shu's expression, Wu Da continued:
"And your appearance has brought a turn for the better. Although eliminating this underground organization will alert the enemy, in a sense, alerting the enemy is better than letting it remain stagnant.
I have been investigating for a longer time, so I know how much interest is involved. Even if the other party is from the Interstellar Union, they can't remain indifferent. If they want to deal with it, they must reveal their flaws. Then, at least I will have a specific target."
Zheng Shu did not refute Wu Da's statements. If the Five Stones Powder was initially just a relatively novel and expensive individual weapon for advanced civilizations, then when the new version of the Five Stones Powder could make human life evolve and thus prolong the life of the user, its value had changed.
No matter what kind of civilization it is, the desire of the superiors to live longer will not change.
Even if advanced civilizations have developed nanomechanical technology that can support cells, it can only allow users to live to the end of their theoretical biological lifespan as much as possible, and cannot break through physiological limits.
A lifespan of one hundred fifty or sixty years is indeed considered longevity for humans on Earth, but it is not enough for the superiors of advanced civilizations.
Genetic technology has inherent advantages in helping organisms extend their lifespan.
Due to restrictions imposed by the Interstellar Alliance, the research of genetic technology is an absolute taboo within the Interstellar Alliance. However, every few years, one or two underground organizations researching genetic technology are still discovered from time to time. This is the root cause of this.
Even if the Five Stones Powder used by No. 14 does not help a living organism to evolve to a high level, it can still increase its lifespan by several hundred years.
Zheng Shu naturally looked down on this small increase, but for the superiors of advanced civilizations whose maximum lifespan was generally less than 200 years, it was already a good thing worth their lifespan.
For those in a high position, especially those who are very old and have enjoyed a lifetime of luxury, longevity is always what they pursue.
The new version of Five Stones Powder is of such great value that even the top leaders in the Interstellar Alliance would not be able to resist it, unless that person is from Qingyuan Star.
If they were really from Qingyuan Star, they would not have chosen to invest in genetic technology.
Although Zheng Shu had used magic to restrict space jumps and the operation of those warships during the previous battle and also blocked most of the information, a lot of information was still transmitted.
What's more, to say that there is no camouflaged reconnaissance system next to such an important main base is simply an insult to the IQ of the senior leaders of the advanced civilization who have invested in this underground organization.
In this way, whether it is the specific situation of No. 14, the power that Zheng Shu had previously burst out, or the appearance of Wu Da and others, they should all be exposed to the eyes of the "investors".
"If I'm not mistaken, all the manufacturing information about the new version of Wu Shi San should not have been passed on, right?" Wu Da asked.
Zheng Shu nodded and casually took out a storage disk from the space next to him.
"It's all here. This thing is stored separately. Unless it is transported directly, it is impossible to pass it out. I took a rough look at their work diary, and there is no record of transportation-related information."
After all, this thing is the foundation of this underground organization. No matter how stupid the controller of the underground organization is, he will not hand it over casually. Otherwise, how can he cheat funds from those investors?
What's more, the success rate of the new version of Wu Shi San is too low. If you hand it over now, you will most likely be convicted of murder.
"That's good. It means that we are the only ones in the world who know how to make Wu Shi San." Wu Da smiled and nodded.
"You... are really a lunatic!" Zheng Shu raised his head and looked at the man in front of him carefully again.
The Five Stones Powder has already demonstrated enough value, and now all the people who can make the Five Stones Powder are gathered on a spaceship. Zheng Shu can even imagine how crazy those powerful people from the advanced civilizations are now.
"If you do this, everyone on the ship may die if you are not careful." Zheng Shu stared into his eyes.
"I've asked them before." Wu Da looked at Zheng Shu without any guilt.
"They are all my companions, so of course I can't take these guys with me. I originally wanted to take a small boat to approach you, but those guys disagreed and even threatened to tie me up and hang me on the bow of the boat as a warning to others if I dared to abandon them.
What a bunch of bastards! I am the boss of this ship, but they totally disobeyed my orders! I tell you, with their tempers, they are definitely capable of doing something like this."
Although he said this, the corners of Wu Da's mouth curled up involuntarily. It can be seen that he was extremely proud of his companions.
"It seems you have a pretty good group of companions."
Zheng Shu shrugged, stopped staring at Wu Da, relaxed his body and lay back on the sofa.
Since the people themselves have already made their choice, it is not appropriate for him, as an outsider, to say anything.
"So...you're not leaving yet?" Wu Da looked at Zheng Shu strangely.
Zheng Shu tilted his head, and his ears trembled: "Why do you want to leave? It seems like I have only been on your ship for a short time. Are you going to kick me out so soon?"
"No, wouldn't a normal person try to escape immediately after hearing this? Your power is indeed strong, but it is still too weak compared to the power held by the Interstellar Alliance.
And their main target is definitely me. After they capture me and get the research data of Wushisan, they probably won't care about you. So taking this opportunity, shouldn't you leave as soon as possible, the farther away from us, the better?"
"You are quite right." Zheng Shu nodded. "But I have a question. What do you want to do after you find the mastermind who is hiding in the Interstellar Alliance and has blocked the Earth?"
"What do you want to do?"
Such a simple question caused Wu Da to fall into a long silence. He leaned back on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling of the cabin, and kept thinking about something in his mind.
After a long time, he finally gave Zheng Shu an answer:
"To be honest, I'm not sure either. Maybe it's just to get the 'truth'."
Wu Da's optimistic and gentle demeanor finally collapsed completely, and a bitter expression appeared on his face.
“To be honest, I know very well that with my strength and the strength of the Earth, it is impossible to resist a behemoth like the Interstellar Federation.
At least judging from the behavior of these people, they did not choose to destroy the earth, so they must have other considerations. So the only thing I can do is probably to get the truth. "
"Even if this truth is impossible to pass on, even if the truth may cost the lives of everyone on your spaceship?" Zheng Shu asked back.
"Yeah...it seems that I am indeed a selfish person. However, judging from the various actions of the Interstellar Federation in the past, their controller should be a very reasonable person.
If the other party is really such a person, except for me and the few crew members on wanted orders in the spacecraft, everyone else should be able to leave after being detained for a period of time."
Wu Da scratched his hair in distress, making his originally smooth hair look a little messy.
"What a shameless person you are. However, judging from your analysis, you are likely to come into contact with the controller of the Interstellar Alliance in the future. In that case, I have to stay here even more."
Zheng Shu stretched and simply lay on his side on the sofa, without any awareness that he was a guest.
"why?"
"My reason is similar to yours. I also want to find the truth. But to be honest, I'm not sure whether the other party knows the truth. But judging from their actions, they may know it, so let's give it a try."
"Oh? You also want to find the truth? What is it? Can you tell me?"
Wu Da also became interested at this time. After all, he was a researcher and had a great interest in exploring the truth and the principles of the world.
"you……"
Zheng Shu glanced at him twice and shook his head with disgust.
"Forget it. Your strength is too weak. If I tell you the information now, it is very likely that those people will know it, so it is better to keep it secret as much as possible."
"Wait? What does this mean?" Wu Da was aroused by what Zheng Shu said and asked.
Unfortunately, Zheng Shu no longer wanted to pay attention to him. Instead, he simply lay on the sofa with his eyes closed and entered a state of meditation, not considering himself as an outsider at all.
After asking for a while, Wu Da found that Zheng Shu was indeed no longer answering questions, and he stood up with some regret.
Walking to the door of the conference room, he looked at the door in front of him twice and suddenly pressed the button next to it.
"oops!"
Amid the screams, a group of people fell to the ground. The sudden opening of the door exposed all the guys who were eavesdropping outside.
However, Wu Da was no longer surprised by these things. He just walked out the door expressionlessly, stepping over the pile of guys lying on the ground and wailing.
"Okay, stop howling, let's all go to the control room and have a meeting!"
"it is good!"
After hearing what he said, the group of people who were originally lying on the ground wailing suddenly got up from the ground with nimble figures, and while talking loudly, they surrounded Wu Da and left.
Zheng Shu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the cheerful faces of these people. Then he closed his eyes again and meditated, quietly waiting for the arrival of the "snake" that he had startled.
……
……
Just like that, an outsider like Zheng Shu inexplicably lived in Wuzhen Samadhi's backward spaceship.
With Wu Da's orders, Zheng Shu lived a relatively leisurely life without any major conflicts.
It should be said that, except for a certain nymphomaniac who persisted in wanting to sneak attack Zheng Shu, the others were at most just a little curious about Zheng Shu.
As for the woman named Mona, every time she wanted to attack Zheng Shu at night, she would be stopped in time by other crew members, and then tied up like a caterpillar and dragged out.
Zheng Shu did not do nothing during this period. He first used the time in heaven to speed up the reading of all the intelligence obtained from the main base of the underground organization, and then took the time to study the experimental subject who mastered the law of causality. His life was quite fulfilling.
However, this peaceful life did not last long and was soon disturbed by an accident.
In the temporarily arranged room, Zheng Shu, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the bed in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction.
His gaze seemed to transcend the walls and metal partitions of the spacecraft and see a scene in the distance.
"Here they are. They came to my door so soon. It seems that they are really anxious."
Zheng Shu got out of bed, tidied his clothes, walked out of the room, and went straight to the control room of the spacecraft.
