Changgeng Galaxy---Fengrui Star
The standard airdrop module SC0078 was propelled by the landing assist device and landed on an open space in the dark forest.
There was a sound of metal friction, and the door of the standard airdrop module opened automatically, and the crawler-type transport robot Apostle carried the Hope No. 2 metal box from inside and came out.
It placed the metal box in the open space, and its red mechanical eyes emitted a purple light, which hit the combination lock on the metal box. It flickered on and off, strong and weak, as if it was unlocking.
Two seconds later, there was a 'click' sound, the combination lock opened, and streams of steam came out of the metal box, and at the same time the lid of the metal box was opened.
The apostle robot stretched its two long mechanical arms into the steaming box and carefully lifted out the milky white spherical insect egg with a diameter of more than 1 meter.
Activating the gripping ability of the tracks, the apostle jumped over the uneven ground and placed the eggs on the ground covered with dead branches and rotten leaves.
It retreated 22 meters, and then shot out flickering yellow light from its mechanical eyes, hitting the surface of the insect egg.
Suddenly, there was a soft 'bang' sound, and the surface of the insect egg exploded, and sticky red juice flowed out.
In an instant, the juice covered the 10-square-meter area around the insect eggs, quickly turning into a red carpet of Zergs.
The fungus blanket begins to slowly grow by absorbing nutrients from the plants and soil in the area it covers, and catches caterpillars, moths, grasshoppers, earthworms and other small animals in dead branches and decaying leaves, transporting them Go to the small hatchery that has just been transformed from insect eggs.
The small hatchery looks like a jellyfish lying on the ground, with a tall cylindrical shape in the middle and six biological pipes surrounding it. The whole hatchery is tan in color with bright red in the middle.
The various small animals transported to its interior are being decomposed by it into various organic cells, and the gene connections in various small animals are extracted from them and stored in its original gene bank.
The decomposed organic cells were all transported into a bloody flesh ball, and something seemed to be crawling inside.
The meat ball is connected to the reddish-brown fleshy inner wall of the small hatchery through an umbilical cord as thick as a bowl.
Suddenly, the mechanical eyes of the apostle robot near the small hatchery emitted layers of green light and began to scan the hatchery comprehensively using CT slices.
With a "ding-dong" sound, the green light disappeared, and one of the apostle's mechanical arms "clicked" and transformed into a small pot-lid-shaped transmitting antenna.
The pot lid antenna beeped 360 degrees towards the sky of Fengrui Star, and finally stopped.
At this moment, a 'cracking' arc appeared in the center of the pot lid antenna, which continuously gathered into a plasma ball the size of a football. Finally, it exploded with a 'buzzing' sound, sending out an encrypted quantum wave into outer space.
In the low-Earth orbit of the distant planet Life-1, on the huge scientific research spacecraft, the red indicator light of the Zerg Master Controller flashed continuously and made a beep beep beep sound.
Abbas, director of the Zero Biological Laboratory of the Aleman Republic, picked up the Zerg Master Controller and said to himself excitedly: "Hope No. 2, you have finally officially started a new evolution."
Abbas performed a complex code on the Zerg Mastermind Controller, and a new encrypted quantum wave was shot towards the Life-1 planet, just in time to be received by the Mastermind.
In an instant, the spiritual power of the zerg master crossed the endless space and time of the universe and completed a spiritual connection with the small hatchery on the sharp star.
The small hatchery and the surrounding bacterial carpet seemed to be beating with joy, absorbing energy and decomposing organic matter much faster.
Fengruixing---996 Recruit Training Camp 11th Regiment Base.
After Yi Chen listened to Nangong Yi's general knowledge about transport ships, standard airdrop modules, card alliance trading groups, etc., he no longer had any interest in staying near the plasma protective wall.
He felt that he lacked a lot of common sense knowledge and needed to seize the time to supplement it through the Internet.
Yi Chen had no interest in being here and could only watch helplessly as the men of the 11th Regiment Flying Company happily harvested the blue armor from the jungle colossus and made a small fortune.
Knowledge is power, and knowledge is wealth. Yi Chen firmly believes that this saying on earth also applies to this alien world.
Returning to the barracks of the 7th company, Yi Chen began to study through the cosmic holographic network.
So far in the universe, there are 6.18 million civilizations with clear written records. However, after endless years of erosion, coupled with the wars between various civilizations, they have begun to unify into a united world with 1,024 fifth-level civilized countries as the main body.
With the frequent exchanges, the cultures of these 1024 countries have merged with each other and become consistent.
However, the self-interested nature of intelligent organisms and the various religious beliefs lead to different political systems adopted by various countries.
There are even a very small number of fifth-level civilized countries that are founded on religion. Of course, this counter-trend approach is only an isolated phenomenon and not the mainstream.
The more mainstream political systems in the universe are democratic politics, feudal imperial politics, constitutional monarchy plus a small amount of tribal politics and family politics.
The Kabasi Empire where Yi Chen is located is a typical feudal imperial politics.
Tribal politics and family politics are somewhat similar. They are both countries formed by the union of several tribes or families.
Most of these countries are relatively weak, because many of the reasons why they formed a country were due to the interference of other powerful fifth-level civilization countries and their rapid development.
Such a country is a tribal world or a family world, and the entire country is centered on the interests of those tribes or families.
Their rights are controlled by the elders or family members of each tribe.
When there are important matters, the elders and heads of the families will discuss and decide together.
In such a country, power is not as concentrated as in an imperial country.
Of course, there are also a few countries with tribal and family politics where mergers and internal strife occur, with some tribes or families directly defeating other tribes or families and monopolizing power.
At this time, the political structure of their country will basically begin to transform, becoming a country with feudal imperial politics or a country with constitutional monarchy.
Perhaps the reason why the physical laws of all planets in the universe are the same is that most of the intelligent creatures in the universe are in human form. Among the 1,024 countries with major fifth-level civilizations, 80% are in human form.
Other countries have various non-human forms, including gray men, ape men, giants, feather men, moth men, cicada men, etc. In short, they are all kinds of strange, but their overall power is relatively weak and far inferior to intelligent creatures in human form.
They are also reproductively isolated from intelligent creatures in human form, so they are privately called "monsters" and "barbarians" by the people of countries in human form.
Of these intelligent creatures in non-human form, only a very small number of highly intelligent people like to leave their country and travel and work in various countries in the universe; most of them like to stay in their own country because their appearance does not conform to the human form. People in the country will be discriminated against due to their aesthetic taste.
What's more, in some countries with imperial politics, family tribal politics, and religious politics, they will be directly captured and become pets or even slaves of some people in those countries, and are not treated as intelligent life forms at all.
Don't be shocked that slaves still exist in the interstellar age.
The development of science and technology cannot solve the selfish nature of intelligent life forms, nor can it naturally promote the progress of political civilization.
The core of political civilization is actually the distribution of various powers and resources. The initial stage of scientific and technological progress is controlled by a small number of people, and they control most of the power and resources. In the end, of course, they are unwilling to share the power and resources in their hands. others.
At this time, they have mastered technology and have more powerful power to maintain the oppression and exploitation of other people. They are even less likely to give up the various privileges they already have. It is easy to understand that they still insist on slave rule.
For example, the Kabasi Empire is also a medium-sized fifth-level civilization country.
Its aristocratic class has many privileges, such as tax exemption, immunity from certain crimes, priority in participating in the selection of government offices, hereditary rights to the title of earl and above, etc. There are many more.
Nowadays, China and other countries in the world do not get along harmoniously.
But because everyone is a level 5 civilization, there is no crushing advantage in terms of technological strength. The war will last for years and months, and there will be no easy gains. In addition, there is a cosmic intelligent life association up there to maintain world order, so everyone Don't dare to start the war lightly.
Trade and development in general are themes in the universe right now.
As long as the conflicts between a small number of countries with fierce conflicts continue, but they are not strong enough to shake the general trend of the universe, the Federation of Intelligent Life in the Universe will turn a blind eye and ignore it, letting them do whatever they want.
This also corresponds to a saying in Yi Chen’s hometown on Earth: When the water is clear, there will be no fish.
If the entire universe is peaceful without any conflicts, then there will be no crisis for all countries in the universe, and perhaps they will lose the momentum for development.
Therefore, the Universal Intelligent Life Federation deliberately left some conflict areas unchecked.
The entire cosmic area has not been completely explored, and star fields that are too far away cannot be easily reached even by super-light spacecraft.
There are 15,846 proven galaxies in the universe, more than 7 million habitable planets with life, and an uncountable population.
The Kabasi Empire where Yi Chen is located has 15 galaxies, more than 8,000 habitable planets with life, and a population of 16 trillion.
A living planet refers to a planet that can be inhabited without any artificial modification. It represents whether a country is strong or not.
There are countless uninhabited planets in any galaxy. They have harsh environments and only a small number of them have mineable minerals. They usually have no value, just like deserts, Gobis, and barren mountains on Earth.
Of course, during war, some of them will become temporary military bases as fulcrums for defense and offense.
In the interstellar era, the territorial size and population of countries have increased exponentially. At this time, the management model of the single-planet era can no longer keep up with the development.
This gave rise to the programmatic auxiliary management system - the central optical brain. As long as a model is established in advance for any matter and uploaded to the optical brain database, then the optical brain will call the model to handle the transaction in an absolutely fair and just manner.
This is also a national administrative management model adopted by all countries in the universe regardless of their political system.
The universal information transmission method in the universe now is quantum waves, which can span countless light-years in an instant.
But the universe is too vast, and it cannot cross all the galaxies in the entire universe. Quantum repeaters are needed to receive and forward information in order to achieve universe-wide dissemination and real-time communication.
Some quantum repeaters are as big as an uninhabited planet, and some are as small as a fist.
Generally speaking, quantum repeaters in this country are all carried out by unmanned planets, which have high power and stable signals.
During a war, when you enter the enemy's star domain, you can only release micro-quantum repeaters to keep your own communications smooth, because transforming an enemy's unmanned star quantum repeater into your own requires a huge amount of human material resources and a large amount of resources. time, which is completely unnecessary.
In addition, there is the risk of being destroyed by the enemy just after transformation, which is not worth the loss.
The same goes for the super-light engine of the spacecraft. Every time the super-light engine runs for a period of time, it must stop for a period of cooling. The spacecraft must also return to the universe from hyperspace. The maximum distance of each space jump is limited.
The space jump distance and engine cooling time vary greatly between products from different countries and spacecraft of different levels.
Generally speaking, the more developed the country and the higher the level of the spaceship, the longer the jump distance and the shorter the cooling time.
Although the universe is very large and there are no fixed navigation rules that must be followed, the spacecraft cannot easily jump directly to other countries' star fields.
Because there are space solidifiers installed on the space borders between countries. Once it is turned on, it will strengthen the surrounding space billions of times. No super-light engine can even think of tearing apart such a space to jump across.
Therefore, although the space boundaries of cosmic countries appear to be infinite, spacecraft still have to go through fixed customs to pass through them.
Another function of these customs is to filter the high-speed quantum information of the cosmic holographic information network to prevent the inflow and outflow of information harmful to the country.
In order to achieve high-speed and stable signal transmission, the cosmic holographic network combines quantum repeaters into a transmission matrix.
In order to comply with the laws of each country, these transmission matrices transmit information through the customs of each country.
Space coagulators are not only set up on the space boundaries between countries, but also between galaxies and galaxies within countries. This is to prevent enemy countries from breaking through the borders and driving straight into the core of the country.
It's just that the space coagulator between galaxies will not be activated in normal times, and will only be activated when the country's survival is in crisis.
More than 200,000 years have passed since the end of the First Cosmic War. The universe generally seems peaceful, but now there is an undercurrent.
