Chapter 102
If there is joy, there will be sorrow.
Compared to Alvin, who got two spaceships for nothing, Vigus' mood was extremely bad.
Although on the way back to 'Paradise Planet', he vaguely guessed that something big might have happened to his home planet.
But, never expected... the situation was worse than he imagined!
The Engineer race remaining on Paradise Planet, the technology level seemed to have suffered a devastating blow, directly regressing to an agricultural civilization.
No, using agricultural civilization to describe the Paradise Planet clansmen now seems to be a bit of an elevation!
Without mercy, the clansmen remaining on Paradise Planet have almost returned to the 'tribal era' except for their long lifespan!
"What exactly happened?"
Vickers couldn't believe his eyes and repeatedly checked the report of the World Master.
He only slept for two thousand years, how could Paradise Planet, which once had highly developed technology, fall into this state now?
But soon, after reading the flight log of the mothership and gradually understanding the details, Vigus, who learned the truth, felt as if his whole body was drained, his pupils dilated several times, and he slumped on the pilot seat.
Alvin glanced at Vigus, who was lost in soul.
Described in human terms, it's probably that sorrow is greater than heart death?
The movie didn't describe in detail the specific reason why the Engineer race declined, so he didn't know what happened.
But judging from the clues in the subtle places, the Engineers were extremely likely to have split into two factions.
One faction advocated creation, which was the opening of the movie, taking the initiative to drink Black Goo, jumping into the mountain streams and rivers of Earth, and using their own DNA combined with Black Goo to create life.
The other faction advocated destruction, which was the 'Space Jockey' where Vigus was, wanting to go to Earth to drop Black Goo, but on the way, because of the leakage of Black Goo, they had to sleep on LV-233.
The culprit that caused the decline of Paradise Planet's technology level was extremely likely to be the 'Destruction Faction'.
"Dear friend, if you don't mind, can you tell me what happened?" Alvin's tone was gentle, and he took the lead in expressing sincerity: "If your home planet has encountered any difficulties, within my ability, I am willing to provide you with necessary help."
"Sorry, I should not be able to fulfill the promise."
Vigus was full of bitterness, his expression painful as he clenched his fists, and there was even a bit of ferocity on his face: "After I entered slumber, the leader of the Destruction Faction, Elder Sartos, decided to lead a part of the clansmen to explore and develop outside the Milky Way, hoping to find a way to solve reproduction."
"Then, the rest who were unwilling to go were abandoned?" Alvin had already roughly guessed the following text.
"That's right, Sartos abandoned the vast majority of the clansmen and led a fleet composed of elites to go outside the Milky Way."
Vigus closed his eyes painfully, and the hoarse and low voice was filled with resentment: "For this expedition, Sartos took away all the elites of Paradise Planet, leaving only the most ordinary people, including all warships, information storage rooms, etc. Paradise Planet has nothing left."
When saying this sentence, Vigus' mood dropped to the extreme.
When extreme sadness and extreme anger intersect, the result is not hysteria, but silence.
Just like Vigus, falling into the abyss, saying nothing.
Looking at Vigus, whose mentality had completely collapsed, Alvin frowned. This won't work if it continues like this.
Vigus is his designated chief biological expert. In the future, the android Xenomorph army in his conception cannot lack this important chess piece.
"I fully understand your mood now, but you must cheer up."
Alvin could only take out the PUA rhetoric from his previous life to comfort the lost Vigus: "Even if you want to give up, but think about the clansmen on Paradise Planet, are you willing to leave them alone?"
Vigus blinked blankly: "What you said seems to make some sense."
"So, you have to cheer up and work harder!"
Alvin put on a serious look and said: "You should lead the remaining clansmen to restore the glory of the Engineers, let the traitor Sartos and the others see who is the descendant who truly inherited the will of 'Deacon', so the burden on you is very heavy, Vigus."
A passionate speech immediately reignited hope in Vigus.
"You are right, my friend!"
Vigus excitedly held Alvin's hand, his eyes shining: "I must prove to Sartos who is the descendant flowing with the blood of 'Deacon'. They are just a group of cowards who abandoned their clansmen. I must lead the clansmen to restore the glory of the Engineer race!"
"Good, very spirited!"
Alvin didn't forget to encourage him: "Remember, you are the descendant flowing with the blood of 'Deacon', the hero who saved the clansmen."
A few words made Vigus look like he had been injected with chicken blood, hot-blooded and surging.
He had even begun to describe in his mind how he would lead the clansmen to restore the glory of the Engineer race and be engraved in history!
What glory!
"As a friend, I am willing to provide you with necessary support to the extent of my ability."
Alvin struck while the iron was hot, with a face full of duty, but between his words, he sold Weyland without mercy: "If there is a need, contact Weyland in my name."
"Thank you so much, friend!"
Vigus was moved to the point of tears and held Alvin's hand tightly.
"That's of course, aren't we friends?"
Alvin deliberately emphasized the tone on 'friend' and smiled enthusiastically and exuberantly: "Since we are friends, of course we should help each other, right?"
Looking at such a generous 'friend', Vigus felt deeply ashamed for his vigilance in the past for a while.
Suddenly, when he saw the somewhat damaged armor on Alvin's body, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he operated a few times in the cockpit.
A huge holographic image unfolded, which was the map of the surface of Paradise Planet.
However, a location was specifically enlarged by Vigus. It was a huge building full of Engineer style, similar to a temple.
But due to the long years, the entire temple was almost covered by vine-like plants. If it weren't for the holographic image of the World Master, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to be discovered.
"Found it, the Original Temple!"
Vigus was so excited that he was incoherent and even shed tears: "Sure enough, Sartos didn't take it away!"
Saying that, he explained to Alvin about the so-called 'Original Temple'.
This is a temple specially cultivated and built by the Engineers during the peak of their civilization, used to store information.
"Oh? Doesn't that mean that all the technology of the Engineers is stored inside?" Alvin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had a bold idea.
However, Vigus broke his fantasy, shook his head and said: "Like similar temples, there were originally about thousands of them. What is stored in this temple is information about biological armor. With these materials and equipment, I can specifically formulate a biological armor for you."
The biological armor of the Engineer race is different from the concept of mechanical armor.
Biological armor will be like a second layer of skin, completely fitting with the wearer, providing all-round enhancement.
Although it is not as fancy as mechanical armor in terms of expandability, it is far higher than mechanical armor in terms of safety, comfort, and versatility.
"Good, then I have to thank you more, Vigus."
Alvin upheld the philosophy of not refusing anyone who comes, and accepted Vigus' kindness with a smile.
It's the end of the month, want to ask for a wave of monthly tickets.
