Chapter 1001 Starport 2
If stargate technology can achieve cosmic-level teleportation, not only in space, but also in time and dimensions, then pseudo-stargate technology, It can only move short distances.
This 'short distance' distance is at the level of a galaxy on a cosmic scale.
A galaxy cluster contains hundreds of galaxies.
As for a super galaxy cluster, there are hundreds of galaxy clusters and galaxy groups inside, that is, tens of thousands of galaxies.
Not to mention that above the super-galaxy clusters, there are also cosmic-level celestial systems such as super-galaxy cluster complexes, cosmic voids, and the Great Wall of the Universe.
It’s just a galaxy-level teleportation, which is nothing.
But this is a conclusion drawn from the perspective of the universe.
From the perspective of a third-level civilization, the role of 'pseudo-stargate technology' is comparable to that of sailboats in the Age of Discovery.
Level 3 belongs to the sector-level civilization, also known as the secondary galaxy civilization. Civilizations at this level can only stay within the galaxy, which is within the scope of tens of billions of planets.
Their method of exploring the outside world is a clumsy way, that is, they use light-speed spacecraft to explore interstellar routes, lay interstellar highways, and mark star maps - ordinary marks when they encounter ordinary planets, key marks when they encounter disaster planets, and collection and mining when they encounter resource planets. , encounter a habitable planet and immigrate.
According to this method of exploration, if a third-level civilization wants to reach the boundary of the galaxy, it may not be possible even if it takes hundreds of thousands of years.
Such a long time is enough for civilization to experience dozens of extinction crises - until it is completely extinct.
Only by completing ascension and lighting up the technology of the 'super-light speed ship' can we travel across the galaxy and step onto a greater stage.
But possessing the ‘Pseudo Star Gate’ is equivalent to mastering the super-light speed technology in advance.
For a civilization, this is equivalent to directly breaking through the most critical link and breaking through the "planetary resource ceiling" in advance.
The ‘resource ceiling’ is easy to understand.
If there are no resource planets or livable planets around a civilization, then the technology tree of an ordinary planet, no matter how potential it is, will not be able to cultivate a civilization above level two.
No matter how potential an intelligent species is, it is impossible to create a 'faster-than-light spacecraft' by relying solely on the resources of one planet.
This is completely over.
The three theories of ‘Planet Resource Ceiling’, ‘Great Filter Theory’, and ‘Technology Tree Soil Trap’ are collectively called the three major traps of primary civilization.
If you break through any one of them, civilization will achieve great development.
For example, with the 'Pseudo Star Gate', you can break the 'planetary resource ceiling'. From then on, the sea and the sky will be brighter.
This kind of civilization is collectively called 'nomadic civilization'.
But for the civilization in the galaxy, it is not a good thing to encounter such a third-level civilization.
This kind of civilization will invade civilizations, seize resource planets, plunder galaxy energy, and absorb species. For non-ascension civilizations, this kind of civilization is simply a natural disaster.
A 'nomadic civilization' does not have the lives of hundreds of low-level civilizations on its hands, and it is worthy of the title of 'nomadic civilization'.
The senior engineer thought about it for a while and even thought about the next big version of the plot for the players.
‘Invasion of the Star Khans’
……
Two days later
The face of ‘Pat Star’ appeared on the holographic projection in front of Gao Gong.
‘Pat Star’ looked at the senior engineer opposite, his big eyes wanting to squeeze out of the screen, his eyes filled with greed.
"Good boy, you are really fired up now, really fired up!"
The senior engineer opposite it is sitting on a gemstone made of top-grade energy minerals. On the chair, hundreds of top-grade energy stones bloomed with a hazy and dreamy light, enveloping the senior engineer in a fairylike state.
"It's okay. I've just made a small fortune. Although alpha element is an inert element, it is not good to be exposed to it for a long time due to its large quantity and high purity," the senior engineer also sighed. "I've already told those crystalline beings not to give such gifts. They insist on giving them. It's not okay not to accept them. They are really a bunch of crystal powders."
Gao Gong picked up a handful. The best crystals slowly fall from the palm of your hand. They are crystal clear and radiate with precious light. Some of them transform between solid, liquid, gaseous and molecular states during the falling process. They are incredibly beautiful.
He was heartbroken.
“As an outside force, in order to establish a good relationship with the natives of the local planet, I have to break my own principles again and again, accept gifts, and earn money. I feel guilty. ! ”
"Good boy, I didn't expect you, a machine being, to be more pretentious than me!"
'Pat Star' looked at Gao Gong with admiration. Why didn't he find this purple star's subordinate so coquettish before?
It rubbed its chin again and said thoughtfully:
"So, the rumors are true? There are really top-level energy beings on this resource planet. Sell it to me. How about one? I like to collect these kinds of things.”
“Let’s talk, let’s talk,” Gao Gong said.
"That's right. You are short of everything now, except money. But how did you get the allegiance of this 'energy race'? As far as I know, old Walter can't do this. Otherwise, his planet The cannon has been able to fire continuously."
"Well, it's also a secret."
'Pat Star' rolled his eyes.
“It’s not a good habit not to know how to share. You have to know that I am always on your side.”
“So when I do business, I think of it as soon as possible. You.”
‘Pat Star’ suddenly became energetic.
"I know my love for you is not in vain, boy. What are you going to buy from me, weapons, equipment, spaceships? I know you must be out of stock now."
But Gao Gong is Shaked his head.
"I want to buy mechanical raw materials."
"There are not many buyers for this stuff in the black market, and the profit is too low. We at Hydra basically don't do it,"'Pat Star ' said disappointedly, after all, which illegal underground force would do serious infrastructure construction? Killing, robbing, and destroying infrastructure are the way to go.
"First look at the quantity I need." Gao Gong did not answer directly, but sent a thick list.
‘Pat Star’ glanced at it casually, and then his eyes bulged.
"How many extra zeros did you write in?"
"Actually, there were two less zeros. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat such a large amount of material at once," Gao Gong Tell the truth.
‘Pai Daxing’ did a simple calculation and clicked his tongue:
"The amount of materials you need can transform a hundred planets into habitable planets, isn't it? Do you have so many mechanics?"
"Yes."
'Pai Daxing' seemed to have thought of something, his face changed, and he whispered:
"Did the Purple Star tell you something before leaving?"
After all, there is such a thing as an explosion in production capacity. , it seems to be the work of mechanical civilization, especially when 'Pai Daxing' knows that the purple giant star has become the master of the fifth-level civilization. Maybe he wants to do a pilot project in his 'hometown' and build a 'megastructure'?
"Well, well, it's not convenient to say."
"Okay, I understand, leave this matter to me, but there are so many materials that our Hydra Machine can't eat on the black market. I have to Contact several other black markets around you; also, you must be prepared to be blocked by civilization."
"Buying materials is also blocked, are you insulting my IQ?" Gao Gong wondered.
“Nonsense, the amount of materials you purchased can disrupt the material markets of both civilizations, what do you think?”
……
Three more days passed
At this time, in the deepest part of the star port, directly accessible by the star core elevator, this was originally a gathering place for Walter's senior cadres, but now it has become the council of the Cybertron Legion. place.
