#538 - Chapter 538 New DNA Fragments
The little guy revealed too much information, leaving Dongfang Chen at a loss for words.
"What else do you want to know?" the robot asked.
"See if I understand correctly."
"The earliest civilization in the solar system began on Mercury 1 billion years ago. Then they colonized Mars and Venus."
"That's right," the robot affirmed.
"Later, warships from the Sirius star system came, and war broke out. This war led to the destruction of Mercury, part of it falling into the sun, and the other part becoming the Mercury we know today."
"Yes."
"The survivors on Mars and Venus launched a counterattack against the Sirius star system warships, and then achieved victory but suffered heavy losses?"
"That's not right. At that time, most of humanity's warships were docked in the orbits of Mars and Venus, and that war ultimately achieved a complete victory."
"Then, if you achieved a complete victory, why did it become like this?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Actually, humans were engaged in a war at that time. The three main superpowers at the time were the Dragon Country, the Bagu Country, and the Sa America Country. According to the Peace Treaty, Mercury, as the common home of humanity, was not allowed to engage in any form of war. So, in reality, Mars and Venus were the main battlefields for everyone's struggles," the robot explained.
"So, after the Sirius star system warships were destroyed, a civil war broke out again?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"No. After Mercury was destroyed, Venus and Mars became humanity's new homes. After a long period of negotiations, the three countries finally reached a new Peace Treaty. According to the new Peace Treaty, Venus became the new survival star, and Mars became the military star."
"Why was it necessary to establish a survival star?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Firstly, because the weapons of each country were too advanced and could instantly destroy a country. In this situation, stationing troops on the survival star was too dangerous. On the other hand, building warships required a large amount of materials and energy, which would lead to the destruction of the planet's ecology and the depletion of resources," the robot explained.
"I see. But since a Peace Treaty was reached, how did everyone disappear later?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"I only discovered this matter tens of thousands of years ago after discovering the remnants of Sirius on the moon."
Dongfang Chen quietly looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"Those remnants weren't just hiding there, doing nothing. On the contrary, they did a lot of small things in secret. These small actions are mainly divided into three types:"
"Genetic attacks, virus attacks, and indirect attacks."
"Not long after destroying the Sirius star system warships, Venus experienced a large-scale population disappearance event. Within a short period of 500 Venusian years, the human population plummeted by 80%. Not only humans, but other species that migrated from Mercury also experienced large-scale disappearances."
"Initially, no one realized that this matter was premeditated. The unanimous conclusion of scientists was that it was caused by human's own genetic defects. Some even came up with the species extinction hypothesis, believing that any species would inevitably undergo hereditary extinction on a large time scale."
"That is to say, the extinction of any species is inevitable."
"It wasn't until hundreds of thousands of years ago that I discovered a newly added DNA fragment by analyzing human gene samples. This DNA fragment can be understood as a backdoor program, which makes humans more susceptible to certain viruses," the robot briefly introduced.
"What ruthless methods!" Dongfang Chen exclaimed.
"Actually, a lot of things happened in between. But I won't go into details now. In short, you just need to understand one thing: I am not your enemy," the robot said.
Dongfang Chen looked at him without answering.
He admitted that this was not just a bragging robot.
At least he fully understood his own thoughts and knew his concerns.
"Now can you tell me, why are you able to master the Nata people's technology?" the robot asked.
"Alright! My story is very simple. Before the Nata people were wiped out, they launched a miniature space station into space. This space station has been in a dormant state…"
Dongfang Chen then told everything he knew.
"So that's how it is. These guys can be considered to have stumbled upon it," the robot nodded and said after listening to Dongfang Chen's account.
"What do you mean?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Fortunately, his space station was in a dormant state most of the time, otherwise it would have been impossible to preserve it for more than 200 million years," the robot said.
"How so?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"The Sirius star system controls a group of puppets, collectively known as the Morni people, through genetic attacks. More than 200 million years ago, they came to Blue Star and destroyed the civilization established by the Nata people."
"So, if this space station wasn't very small and hadn't been in a dormant state for a long time, it wouldn't have survived until now," the robot said.
"I see!" Dongfang Chen exclaimed.
