Due to the accident that happened to him, David tossed and turned last night and had trouble falling asleep. When he finally fell asleep, he was awakened by the identity bracelet on his wrist.
The smart butler also entered at this time to remind him that Jessica was already waiting for him at the door.
According to the reminder of the smart housekeeper, David knew that this was his agreement with Jessica to participate in the signing of the new book "War and Love" by the well-known author Burgess.
Originally, he wanted to refuse to participate in the signing event with Jessica, but when he heard that the destination mentioned by the smart housekeeper was a paper bookstore, he immediately decided to go.
The unknown of the world and the lost memory of this body made him eager to get more information, but he didn't even know how to query information in this world, and the paper bookstore became his best choice.
Along the way with Jessica, he also saw that Jessica's attitude towards him was not like that of a good friend, and when he had been taciturn, Jessica's attitude was even worse.
After agreeing, David walked a few steps quickly and came to Jessica's side. His eyes were always looking at everything around him.
Cars floating on the road, the whole city completely covered by stones, even the houses are built like fortresses, and there is not even a single window. This weird design makes him feel that this world is extremely different. Feel safe.
The bookstore they went to was not far away, so they didn't take transportation. They walked about three kilometers, and at the corner of the street where David lived, David saw groups of people standing in front of the bookstore.
David looked behind him with some anxiety. There was nothing behind him, but in fact there was a strange translucent shadow hidden there.
This was discovered after he woke up in the basement. When he first discovered the translucent shadow, he was almost scared to death.
After many experiments, he found that this strange translucent shadow was completely following him, and could follow his orders to move.
Although the only ability that this translucent shadow has revealed until now is invisibility and has no other abilities, but it also resolves his loneliness when he first came to this world.
David had tested before that Jessica could not find the invisible translucent shadow at all, but there were nearly a hundred people in front of him, and he was still a little worried that anyone would find it.
"We're late, it looks like we'll have to queue for a long time!" Jessica said with some dissatisfaction.
For this signing event, she got up at seven o'clock, and it was not until eight o'clock at this time. You must know that it is a holiday, and she has to sleep at least until nine o'clock every day.
David smiled and didn't speak. He didn't care about the signings. He wanted to enter the bookstore to find the books he was interested in.
"Don't be crowded, today's book signing event will start in an hour, and Mr. Burgess will arrive in a while, please wait in line!" The clerk of this bookstore shouted loudly, trying to maintain order.
"Jessica, I'm going to read a book inside, so I won't accompany you!" David said to Jessica.
"Go, go!" Jessica waved her hand, and now she has found a few people she knows, and she no longer needs David's company. Although these people are not friends, they are with her Compared with the boring David, she would rather choose those few people she is not very familiar with.
David feels that the way Jessica treats him has a feeling of treating a spare tire. It seems that his predecessor should be Jessica's admirer, which makes Jessica have such an attitude.
But these have nothing to do with him now, he walked into the bookstore from the scattered queue.
Although there are more convenient e-books, it does not affect the sales of paper books, which can be seen from the size of this bookstore.
The clerk took a look at him and realized that he didn't want to jump in line, so he ignored him.
There are more than ten large electronic posters in the bookstore, most of which display the promotional posters of "War and Love".
The glass wall of the bookstore is very soundproof, at least the voices of nearly a hundred people outside did not enter the bookstore, which makes the bookstore very quiet, which is the best environment for reading.
David walked through the bookshelves, which were divided into philosophy, politics, law, military, economics, culture, education, sports, language, art, history, geography, etc. Categorized for the convenience of readers.
David walked to the history department and found a book "History of the Interstellar Federation". After taking the book, he went to the seat beside him, opened the book and read it.
Apart from him, there was no one else in the bookstore. Those who were able to come to this paper bookstore at this time were all to participate in the signing event of the new book "War and Love" by the well-known author Burgess.
However, the signing activity was held at the entrance of the bookstore, so there was such a quiet environment.
He opened the "History of the Interstellar Federation" and saw a sentence on the title page.
"To be or not to be, the world is on the brink!" Federal Marshal Denton.
Thinking about the meaning of this sentence, David turned to the content page of "History of the Interstellar Federation", and then he saw the history of this world, a magnificent history with iron and blood.
In star calendar 10116, a violent space shock occurred outside the sixteenth spiral arm on the edge of the Interstellar Federation.
This space shock caused an unknown shift in space, and overlapped corners of two universes, the two universes being the Interstellar Federation universe and the God-belonging universe.
The place where the Interstellar Federation universe overlaps with the Divine universe is the planet No. 82 of the Sixteen Spiral Arms. Before the two universes overlap, the planet No. 82 of the Sixteen Spiral Arms is just an unknown common resource star.
The environment there is harsh, and human beings simply cannot survive there.
But after the two big universes overlapped, the sixteenth spiral arm No. 82 planet had a wonderful change, the oxygen content in the atmosphere and the content of various other gases changed, and it became a habitable planet.
At the same time, a large number of krypton crystal mines were discovered in the ground of the planet No. 82 with sixteen spiral arms.
Krypton crystal ore is the main energy of the Interstellar Federation. It is because of the existence of krypton crystal that the Interstellar Federation can travel the universe and rule the entire Interstellar Federation universe.
But krypton crystal ore is also the basic energy source of the divine universe. When the two universes overlapped, both parties who were about to start negotiations discovered the krypton crystal ore on planet No. 82 with sixteen spiral arms.
During nearly a hundred years from 10116 to 10200, the two major universes launched a war concerning the survival of the race on the planet No. 82 of the 16th spiral arm.
That war was only briefly mentioned in the "History of the Interstellar Federation", but in those hundred years, the sixteenth spiral arm No. 82 planet has since been renamed Battle Star, and one can imagine the cruelty of that war back then.
In the autumn of 10200, huge bugs appeared in the unstable space above the battle star. These bugs appeared from the space and landed on the battle star.
Then, countless bugs ranging in height from human beings to tens of meters rushed out of the giant bugs' bodies, and they frantically attacked everything they could see.
The battle situation changed in 10200. Neither the Interstellar Federation nor the Divine Universe could resist these powerful bugs alone.
The two parties even discovered that bugs can grow by devouring various substances. Human corpses, the wreckage of interstellar warships, buildings on the ground, and everything they can see is their food.
Especially the krypton crystal mine stimulates them even more, and whenever the bugs occupy a krypton crystal mine, there will be an explosion in number.
In 10202, the Federation of Weeks and the Divine Universe signed an alliance contract. Since then, the two universes have jointly opened up a line of defense on the battle star to resist the invasion of bugs.
And these bugs are also called Zerg, a race that cannot communicate, is predatory and aggressive.
In the ten thousand years that followed, the battle star became the strong line of defense of the two universes, and countless interstellar federation fighters fought bloody battles with the god-belonging world fighters.
Of course, the Zergs also attacked the adjacent planets of the two universes in various ways. Although the two universes continued to intercept, some Zergs still passed through the defense and entered the nearby planets.
Because the Zerg cannot enter other planets on a large scale, this prevents the Zerg from truly forming a numerical advantage, and the nearby planets have not formed a large-scale Zerg group because of the centralized cleanup of the Interstellar Federation and the Great World of God.
But that doesn't mean the Zerg threat is gone on these worlds, the Zerg larvae are extremely hard to find, they can hide deep underground while making them invisible to scanning devices.
At the right time, these larvae can grow into various forms according to the surrounding environment, and attack the life on the planet.
This kind of endless war caused the Interstellar Federation an extremely headache. More interstellar warships were built, and more defenses appeared in the universe to ensure that planets farther away would not be affected by the Zerg.
