I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 169 Extra: I, Zhang Hong, am an honest man

Earth Era 2144.

Deep in the cold and silent space, a golden star in a blue coat is wandering peacefully.

This is a wandering star.

The sun is traveling towards another distant star in deep space at 600/ of the speed of light, or kilometers per second.

Just like a snail crawling from Guangzhou to Beijing, the long journey of 5000 years is enough to rebuild human civilization.

After all, the credible history of human civilization verified by cultural relics is only a little over 5000 years old.

The solar controller rotates slowly, some of the node rings on the equator open and some close, creating thrust in different directions and adjusting the sun's course.

The Earth revolves around the Sun outside the equator at a speed slightly faster than the controller. The Earth's gravity is also an important part of the entire solar controller regulation system.

Ninety percent of the sunlight, concentrated by stellar energy, passes through the transparent membrane and falls on the earth.

This beautiful planet still retains its original blue and green colors. Under the dual effects of the sun's gravity and planetary engines, it sails towards the distance along with the sun.

Humans living on Earth cannot perceive that the Earth is moving.

Just as the celestial bodies in the solar system were moving at high speed within the solar system before, the creatures on Earth were unable to detect it.

Tiny individuals cannot perceive the movement of macroscopic celestial bodies.

Nearly 400 billion people are busy on Earth. In the past, the Earth's carrying capacity would have reached saturation, but with the support of high-tech, the Earth's population carrying capacity can now theoretically exceed billion.

Cities on the ground have been rebuilt, and three-dimensional cities up to a thousand meters high can be seen everywhere, and the underground part of the city is also a thousand meters deep. The change brought about by the three-dimensionalization of urban space is that super cities with a population of hundreds of millions are everywhere.

Don't think that the city is very crowded because of so many residents.

In fact, cities today are larger, cleaner, and more orderly than those in the old days.

Thanks to advanced planning, the city’s per capita living area has reached 50 square meters, and the per capita public area has exceeded 100 square meters.

The interior of the super city is like a wide honeycomb, with countless flying cars, drones, spaceships, and pedestrians moving in an orderly manner. Traffic jams will never happen unless the city's intelligent management AI fails.

New York, on the coastline next to the former headquarters building of the United Nations.

An old woman with completely white hair, accompanied by a middle-aged man with gray hair, stood by the sea and looked at the sea quietly.

White seagulls were flying in the sky. In the distance, more than ten kilometers away, a huge wall ten thousand meters high stood on the sea, protecting the sea side of the city.

That is a project to prevent tsunamis. After all, the earth's braking during navigation is inevitable, which often causes tsunamis, so now all coastal cities on the earth have built sound protective facilities.

A dam to resist tsunamis, a physical protective shield to resist sudden climate change - using the lightweight, high-strength transparent material used in the solar controller, an aerospace protection system to resist meteorite impacts, a global ecological stabilization system to regulate atmospheric balance, and a star ring gravity balance system to strengthen the earth's crust...

The earth is now fearless and no disaster can defeat it.

Hao Xiaoxi withdrew his gaze from the calm sea level, turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Xiao Hu, I will officially retire tomorrow. There are some things I want to say to you alone."

Hu Jianhua waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards to step back. He then stepped back and stood next to Zhou Zhezhi.

"Teacher Xiaoxi, please speak."

"This is one of the top secrets of the coalition government. Since you are now a permanent member of the coalition government, it is okay for me to tell you this."

"In fact, the coalition government did not formulate a government backup plan back then. We did not have a plan for the final phase array of the Moth Project to create sunspots..."

"This..." Hu Jianhua was shocked.

He looked at Hao Xiaoxi in disbelief; this news was beyond his expectations.

Hao Xiaoxi still looked calm.

She said calmly: "Someone is helping us, secretly helping the earth."

“……”Hu Jianhua was silent.

The grand Moth Project was only successful with the help of a third party. It turns out that humans did not defeat disasters simply on their own.

"Are the people who helped us... the travelers?"

As one of the top decision-makers in the United Earth Conquest, Hu Jianhua naturally knew about the existence of the legendary "alien friend".

Hao Xiaoxi was silent, and after a moment she sighed: "I don't know either. No one knows the truth."

"Except for those who are no longer here..."

Hu Jianhua didn't say anything, just looked quietly into the distance following Hao Xiaoxi's gaze.

The noisy wind suddenly stopped.

The air suddenly became quiet, the coastline was covered with the dreamy light and shadow of the sunset, and time seemed to be frozen.

--wrong.

Time really stood still!

Hu Jianhua was shocked when he saw the motionless seagulls in the sky. He suddenly found himself in a state of stillness, unable to move, unable to even speak or blink, with only his brain still able to think.

Hao Xiaoxi and others around him, as well as the world around them, fell into a state of dead silence.

In an instant, people all over the world were shocked to find that the world had come to a standstill. The sun in the sky had even frozen in place.

Then, a figure larger than the sun appeared above the earth, radiating warm golden light.

A gentle voice spread throughout the minds of the people on Earth, and some of them still had a deep impression of this voice.

【Hello, friends on Earth, we meet again. 】

Traveler?!

In space, a giant that is larger than the sun is looking at the earth with a smile on his face. Facing such a giant, humans should be instinctively afraid, but the golden light on the giant makes them feel extremely at ease.

Many people who had seen the appearance of giants in textbooks and documentaries immediately exclaimed that name in their hearts.

The mysterious alien "Traveler" who disappeared for decades reappeared.

Hao Xiaoxi was in a solemn mood: [What the teacher said before his death was indeed true! The traveler has never disappeared! ]

Shock, disbelief, anger.

Countless people on Earth have countless questions in their minds and want to ask the travelers, but all humans are imprisoned by an unknown force and can only think, but their bodies cannot take any action.

【I'm sorry, I deceived you. 】

Zhang Hong said apologetically.

Somewhere in Washington, an old man sitting in a wheelchair immediately yelled in anger in his mind: "Fuck! I told you this alien is a liar!"

This old man was none other than Mike, the American representative of the coalition government who had worked with Zhou Zhezhi back then.

Everyone on Earth had a strange feeling, as if Zhang Hong's calm gaze could penetrate the distant universe and fall on them. Everyone felt that they were being watched by Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong continued to narrate calmly.

[I am not actually an alien. I am also an Earthling like you.]

I don't trust you! You are a bad alien!

After hearing these words, almost everyone on earth complained in their hearts.

But Zhang Hong's next words changed their minds.

[But I come from a parallel world, and I have a little more supernatural power than you. ]

[I am indeed traveling in the multiverse. My mission is to save human civilizations in different worlds from extinction.]

Zhang Hong projected some scenes he had experienced in the worlds of Resident Evil and A Chinese Ghost Story: zombie walls, barren land, demons and monsters, and the suffering of all living beings...

[In order to save the world, I need to play different roles in different worlds. ]

[Sometimes I lead humanity directly, as the Grand Commander.]

[Sometimes I would play tricks and call myself the Savior of the World.]

[Sometimes I pretend to be an alien...]

As Zhang Hong spoke, the doubts and resentments of the people on Earth towards him gradually faded away.

Zhang Hong turned his head, looked at where Hao Xiaoxi was, and continued.

[You are luckier than other human civilizations in that you are very united and have a strong coalition government. ]

[The strong cohesion of your civilization is invaluable. ]

[I don't want you to lose this precious quality, so in the process of saving your world, I played the role of an assistant and a bystander, focusing on you. ]

【Now, you are safe. 】

【And from now on, you will have the ability to resist various crises. 】

【I think it's time to tell you the truth. 】

Why didn’t I continue to hide it?

[That’s because I, Zhang Hong, am an honest man.]

[We are all earthlings. Since there is no need for this anymore, why bother to keep lying? ]

[Besides, it’s time for me to leave…]

[Wandering Earth civilization, fellow Earthlings in another world, may you spread the glory of mankind throughout the Milky Way soon. ]

【Stop fighting among yourselves.】

[No matter when, please remember that mankind’s journey is the sea of ​​stars, and mankind’s future is the universe and the starry sky! ]

[Oh, by the way, those people on Earth who died are living well in another world, you don’t have to be overly sad…]

Zhang Hong demonstrated a live footage of the five billion dead souls on Earth living and working in peace and contentment in the reincarnation space.

[Also, as an apology, I left some small gifts for you...]

[You’re welcome. Please call me a kind person.]

Finally, he waved gently toward the earth.

[Well, goodbye...Come on, little ball!]

After he finished speaking, a golden light flashed in the sky, and the giant in the space disappeared.

The stopped time then began to flow again and the world returned to normal.

Looking at the empty sky, the people on Earth feel mixed emotions.

"What did he mean by his last sentence? What is a little broken ball?" After being stunned for a long time, a passerby A suddenly asked the passerby B next to him.

……

"What?!...Okay, I got it!"

Hu Jianhua hung up the urgent call and said to Hao Xiaoxi solemnly: "The space monitoring department just reported that just now, the speed of the sun's navigation increased tenfold, reaching 1% of the speed of light!"

Hao Xiaoxi was surprised. This was the "gift" Zhang Hong mentioned. It was really valuable.

The time it takes for humans to travel to Proxima Centauri was shortened from 5,000 years to 500 years.

"Not only that. Look, teacher."

Hu Jiangang quickly operated his fingers on his watch a few times, and the roadside lights cast a two-meter-wide projection screen in front of everyone.

Hao Xiaoxi couldn't help but frown as she looked at the two movie-like videos on the official website's homepage.

"The Wandering Earth Prequel, The Wandering Earth, what is this?"

Soon, people all over the world discovered that Zhang Hong had left two movies on the official website of the United Government, and clicked in to watch them with curiosity.

After watching it, everyone was silent.

It turns out that the original fate of Earth civilization was so uncertain and tragic...

"Bang!"

In front of the movie screen, Liu Qi was stunned, and the chopsticks and stainless steel rice bowl in his hand fell to the ground.

He turned his head in disbelief and looked at Zhao Duoduo on the other side of the table——

"Wife, you are my sister?!"
