Scorpio, a red superstar.

This crimson fireball floated in the black curtain-like void, continuously ejecting stellar matter into the universe vacuum. The fiery red rings whipped non-existent enemies like long whips.

Noisy, furious.

The red superstar roared and roared in loneliness, never stopping for a moment.

The star system it governed had four planets in the ancient times that could not be traced back to history, but most of the planets had long been swallowed by the expanding volume of the red supergiant, turning into a wisp of blue smoke and disappearing.

In the entire star system, only the last planet is still persisting.

This last survivor is extremely lucky that for billions of years it has been hanging on the outermost periphery of the star system, the seventh planet in the star system.

Before, because there was no enough light and heat, its surface was covered with thick ice, and it was silent.

Until the Red Supergiant began to expand, and continued to emit deadly heat along the way, burning the planets it used to guard into ashes.

The third planet once had a relatively developed civilization that could conduct preliminary space exploration. Unfortunately, before they could conduct large-scale cosmic exploration, the Red Super Giant broke out with an extremely intense stellar activity.

The civilization on the fourth planet ended in the extremely high temperature that lasted for a hundred years. At the last moment of their life, they concentrated the power of the entire civilization and launched countless colonial spacecraft to the seventh planet in the star system.

These colonial spacecraft sailed towards the target. Because of the hasty preparation, most of the spacecraft crashed, and the surviving colonial ships also caused irreversible damage, and many electronic equipment lost their effectiveness.

The survivors woke up from the frozen cabin. They were the most elites of the old era and the most qualified elites to rebuild civilization. Even when facing desperate situations, they had to rebuild civilization.

They established strongholds with spacecraft as the center, collected all useful materials, and struggled to survive on the pale ice fields. At the same time, they sent exploration teams to the outside, trying to find other colonial ships.

Technology has irreversibly reversed, and the extremely cold conditions have made the fire of civilization erratic, and the initial story of the colonial team has been ignored.

Until ten thousand years later, the red superstars approached, the ice fields melted, gathered into the ocean, and exposed the land.

The new civilization began to expand rapidly. They dug out the original colonial ships from all over the place, relying on the remaining technology and biological samples on it to climb and develop again, and sow other creatures on this dead and silent planet.

Ten thousand years later, the technological level of the new civilization has exceeded that of the old civilization. Their astronomers were shocked to find that the red super giant did not stop expanding, and the new parent star will also turn into coke under the continuous burning of stars.

The temperature of the planets is getting higher and higher, the oceans are evaporating, and the vegetation is drying up. The new civilization, like its predecessors, concentrates all its strength to develop the interstellar colonial cause.

However, the star system area dominated by the red super giant is too lonely.

The closest habitable planet in other stellar systems is at least 4 light years away.

Without a super-light engine, it is impossible for a new civilization to escape.

The new civilization, trapped in despair, began to dig caves underground, build bases, collect materials and life samples, and build underground space launch silos.

What they are doing is exactly the same as the old civilization, and according to the exquisite calculations of astronomers, the new civilization has only a thousand years left - after that, the climate outside the planet is no longer suitable for launching aircraft.

The underground environment is undoubtedly much more difficult, and what's worse is that despair is constantly spreading.

The destruction of the old civilization was compiled into a religious story, and extreme religious propaganda became increasingly fierce, and even began to interfere with the base regime and the aerospace industry.

“If destruction is God’s will, then we should not resist.”

Religious people took over the power, sabotaged the aerospace industry, and persecuted intellectuals.

A few rational scientists can only lurk everywhere and spread the fire of civilization in the dark.

As the millennium time is approaching, the crazy religious people who are trapped in self-destruction have a violent conflict with the inheritors of civilization who are trying to escape from desperate situations.

Finally, the light and heat of the red superstar reached the critical point, and the heat began to pour in along the rock formations, and panic spread again.

According to the prophets of the "Prophets" a thousand years ago, the survivors of the underground world will gradually die within a hundred years, and the fire of civilization will be extinguished in the depths of the earth and no one will know it anymore.

For other civilizations in the universe, those people and things seem to have never existed.

Under the desperate situation, countless heroic legendary stories are staged one by one on the narrow and cramped stage of the underground world.

The continuation of civilization, the righteousness of race, the secularity of religion, the competition between sensibility and rationality, the thinking about the meaning of life, nobleness and despicability, wisdom and ignorance, courage and cowardice,

Everything is fully interpreted.

Until now, this epic elegy of civilization has been forced to be interrupted.

A group of weird people in strange costumes arrived at the underground base from the surface and along the elevator shaft that had been blocked by religious people.

They quickly subdued religious fanatics who planned to annihilate them and found the leaders of rational scientists who could communicate.

"Hello, we are the Alpha Street Police Station of the Scorpio Star Zone in the Earth Federation. I am the police officer in this Star Zone. You can call me Logan."

Wolverine Logan, wearing the uniform of the Earth Federation military, said to the survivors with the assistance of his personal intelligence brain.

"ah?"

The leader of the survivor, a kind-looking old man in his eighties, looked confused.

"Phone police, do you understand?"

Logan chewed the cigar and pulled the uniform on his body, explaining impatiently: "Our main responsibility is to prevent, stop and investigate illegal and criminal activities, maintain social security and order, and stop behaviors that endanger social security and order.

If a low-level civilization in a certain star area falls into an irreversible situation, we will also help as appropriate.

Of course, the rescue process requires strict procedures. We need to examine the orderliness of your civilization, the morality of race, and many other factors - of course, the most important thing is whether you conform to the aesthetics of human beings."

"..." The old man was speechless. If we don't look like Earthlings, we will be ignored by you, right?

Wolverine continued: "Your civilization, in the last era, once launched an artificial satellite to an alien planet, carrying a lot of information about your civilization.

The artificial satellite flew to the outside world at an extremely slow speed. After ten thousand years, it was finally captured by the automatic sentry tower of our Earth Federation. After knowing your existence, he rushed over.

As a result, ten thousand years later, your old civilization has been destroyed and the new civilization is in danger, which has caused me, a retired person, to take the initiative to save you from the fire and water."

"save?"

The old man suddenly grasped the end of this sentence, grabbed Wolverine's palm with great excitement, and shook it desperately, "Really? Can you really save this planet?"

"No, I said, why are you so rough and you are so busy doing things. Don't look at me as a police officer, I also talked and laughed with the federal president and the others at the beginning. I know how to beat you?"

Logan impatiently spit out a smoke ring. This Wolverine had several more circles than the old man in terms of physiological age.

"This planet has entered the burning orbit of the red superstar. It has heatstroke and has no rescue value. The above means to make it a braised bamboo rat. Cough, no, it is a scientific research base for some dangerous experiments.

Now, if you have no objection, you can sign this demolition compensation. We will give you a brand new life planet and the materials needed to rebuild civilization."

Wolverine took out a wrinkled, alcohol-smoked document from her arms and slapped it on the old man's chest. The latter was at a loss, "...what is this...what is the situation..."
