In the 450th year of the empire, after an explosive advance, Zhang Huaiyuan felt that he could no longer keep up with the development of the times and had to abdicate; his son Zhang Shengtang ascended the throne and became the seventh emperor of the empire; after the new emperor ascended the throne, in addition to maintaining the previous policies , and began to promote the development of personal abilities.
When the new emperor made his first speech in power, he made it very clear: When the country is strong, the people will be strong, and when the people are strong, the country will be strong. Our previous development in science and technology has come to an end for the time being; and the main reason why the development of science and technology is now stagnant is that it has lost the motivation for development. There are many reasons for the loss of motivation, but one of the most obvious reasons is that human beings It itself cannot keep up with the changes of the times. So now, we will open the era of personal capabilities, hoping to become a new driving force for human society and lead human society to take off again.
The opening of the era of personal capabilities has ushered in new impetus for social development that had begun to stagnate; with the improvement of relevant laws and regulations, and the completion of infrastructure, a kind of hero worship idea began to prevail. Many people have begun to believe that the future battle for hegemony in the universe will not only be a battle for hegemony of technology itself, but also a battle for hegemony of civilization systems, and also a battle for hegemony between heroes and leaders!
Giant ships and cannons are representatives of technology, but we cannot be obsessed with them because the universe is too complex and you never know whether there will be other civilizations and alternative development channels. Many experts have said through theoretical deduction: When a person's ability is strong enough, he will also have the ability to destroy the world. This is not unfounded, let alone the practice that has been popularized by mankind. Let’s talk about mecha technology! If one day in the future, a mecha is a spaceship, how powerful will it be? I shudder just thinking about it! And now. Humanity has research in this area. It's just that a mecha the size of a spaceship has too much bearing capacity, and existing materials cannot meet the requirements. And with the unfolding of the era of personal capabilities. Some competitive events have been launched one after another. Personal martial arts competitions, mecha confrontations, star fighter challenges, personal skills competitions, etc., have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain; in addition to these, there are also detailed classifications of different training stages, different age groups, etc. Moreover, some small societies such as clubs have been formed, and everyone usually starts to compete. At certain times, such as every month, large-scale competitive activities are held.
With the new policy. Human society is beginning to transform from a one-sided technological civilization to a comprehensive and prosperous civilization. This transformation is not something that happens in a day or two, but is long-term and sustained. But some discerning people have already seen the empire's series of policies. Human society is being pushed in this direction. A huge potential is brewing. When an opportunity comes, it will be an era when human civilization takes off again! Of course, experts in this era are not just looking for fame. Expressed concern about the empire's next target. There is likely to be a powerful civilization around. If the empire's appetite is not good, it is likely to collapse!
………………
In the distant space, after year after year of flight, the Shengyang Empire's spacecraft fleet finally captured a strong electromagnetic signal. Immediately, the scientists here began to analyze it. A lot of necessary knowledge often does not require special theft. 95% of the information can be found on the public Internet. This is inevitable in the network information age. Of course, the premise is that you "know" how to look for it, otherwise the massive amount of information is enough to drown any genius.
"Tap..." Lieyan Ming. Hope slowly walked into the Social Science Research Laboratory. As the grandson of Lieyan Ming Ronghui, he was named after "Hope", and the meaning was self-evident. And this grandson did not disappoint Ronghui. Before he was frozen, he had seen that this outstanding descendant could fully stand on his own.
"Young Patriarch." All members of the Shui Lieyan family in this research room, and this spaceship with a diameter of thousands of kilometers also belongs to the Lieyan family. When we set out that year, there were four fortresses with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers, more than 30 of which were over a hundred kilometers in diameter, and the largest number were small spacecraft. Inside, there is a fortress with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers belonging to the Lieyan family, three medium-sized spaceships with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers, and only five small spaceships; the rest are all from the Holy Sun Empire.
And now, as the Shengyang Empire shows signs of appearing, the Lieyan family gradually feels a threat - the Shengyang Empire secretly plots to get rid of the Lieyan family's space power!
As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall. Even if the Shengyang Empire keeps strict confidentiality, it is almost 150 years ago, and many things are really impossible to hide! Now that they know it, the Lieyan family has decided that everyone should use their own methods!
Of course, such things cannot be said out loud, but three years later, the Lieyan family's spaceships suddenly formed an independent formation and no longer shared command and coordinated progress with the Holy Sun Empire. Today, small and medium-sized spacecraft are slowly circling around the thousand-kilometer fortress in the center, like satellites. In fact, a spacecraft with a diameter of thousands of kilometers and a metal body has a mass and density very similar to that of an ordinary dwarf planet, and is fully capable of having its own satellite. Such a spaceship or fortress is so huge that its own gravity is enough to restrain the surrounding small spacecraft.
Of course, such a binding force is very weak. After all, the fortress is still a bit small. If there is a sudden change in speed. This fragile system will be destroyed; in this case, the spacecraft's engine needs to be started.
"Young Patriarch," director of the Social Science Research Laboratory. Continuously display the information on the light curtain and explain at the same time: "According to the analysis of the electromagnetic wave signals we have collected now, there is a lot of messy information, but of course there is still effective information.
First of all, it has been almost 500 years since this civilization entered the interstellar age, but this civilization is somewhat complicated and not as simple as it seems on the surface. Young Patriarch, please sit down first. I'll tell you one by one. Of course, there are some areas where information is missing. We can only know a rough idea at the moment, or very little. ”
"Well, it doesn't matter. It's better to know something. It's best to decipher their language as soon as possible so that we can communicate more easily." Lieyan Ming hoped to sit down gently without taking his eyes off the screen. Because the appearance of this civilized individual displayed on the screen was very consistent with the appearance of the Holy Sun Empire.
Inexplicably, the people of the Holy Sun Empire, who have been traveling alone for more than two hundred years, feel friendly; in the lonely universe, no matter what, seeing races with similar appearances, they feel extra friendly. This is true even if we don’t know how we will get along with each other in the future; because we are too lonely in the universe and we need “partners” one by one.
But the director of the Social Science Research Laboratory opened a laptop-like tool and began to explain. "Young Patriarch, judging from the information captured so far, this civilization requires us to be extremely careful.
first. The explosion of science and technology here is particularly powerful. In just five hundred years, it has taken us thousands of years to develop. Although some technologies will be different and the foundation will be somewhat insufficient, they still have enough combat power.
Second, the political system here is strange. Each of their systems operates independently, and the central empire lets them control themselves; unlike ours. Every planet is stationed with descendants of the empire's royal family. Of course, according to information analysis, such extensive management can accelerate the development of racial civilization, so that each planet has its own new culture; and then the exchange of this information further promotes the development and progress of the entire social civilization.
Compared to the empire, this is a free and open society, as well as a prosperous and democratic civilization. On the premise that centripetal force can be ensured, it is more conducive to the development of civilization.
Third, their scientific theories are extremely powerful, and their technological system is completely different from ours. This civilization has established a scientific system that takes theory as the guide and practices to produce true knowledge. Moreover, the core of their scientific and technological development is not the pursuit of power like ours; it is the pursuit of people-oriented! In terms of humanities, we should be somewhat backward.
Finally, and what deserves our attention the most is that we have supernatural powers here; but this civilization has a powerful cultivation civilization. Their average life expectancy is around 120 years old; but those who have achieved initial success in cultivation are called the Golden Elixir Stage, with a maximum theoretical lifespan of 500 years; and above, there are Nascent Souls, with a maximum theoretical lifespan of 2,000 years. However, this civilization has only been around for less than 500 years, so it cannot be verified. But what has been proved enough is that no one in the golden elixir stage has died so far. It should be true.
Let’s talk about this civilization’s attitude towards war and peace. First of all, this civilization is peace-loving, but there is always no shortage of careerists. This civilization has existed for tens of thousands of years and is far inferior to ours. But they first abolished slavery more than four thousand years ago. However, slavery was completely abolished more than 800 years ago.
The real rise of this civilization occurred more than 500 years ago, when a man named Zhang Jingyuan ushered in this era. However, Zhang Jingyuan is still alive and well. It is widely rumored that Zhang Jingyuan himself has surpassed the Nascent Soul stage and entered the next realm. It is said that he has a life span of ten thousand years. This is horrible.
In addition, this Zhang Jingyuan is rather nostalgic; now this civilization is divided into a republic system and an empire system. The two systems are clearly distinct, but the republic system has declined, and many republic citizens demand to accept the rule of the Venus Empire. Today, the empire system occupies nearly thirty galaxies, while the republic system only has one ancestral star and one galaxy.
That's all for now, but these are far from describing the general outline of a civilization. ”
"Well, thank you. I'll think about it!" After listening, Lieyan. Ming. Hope frowned and thought quietly. While thinking, he slowly walked out of the research room.
At the same time, Lieyang Guang Shenghui, a descendant of the royal family of the Shengyang Empire, made a decisive decision: I want to conquer this civilization!
Because the powerful Lieyang Empire fleet feels that it is enough to crush this civilization. First of all, the overall strength of this civilization is indeed very powerful; at least on the surface, the overall strength is no less than the strength of a "Ming" title family in the empire, such as the Lieyan family. However, since they live dispersedly, the strength of each star field is pitifully small; the strength after dispersion is not worth mentioning - at least this is what the Holy Sun Empire thinks. Moreover, they are too far apart, often five or six light years away. Even if they wanted to support them, it would be too late! The Shengyang Empire can completely defeat them one by one within this time. When the time comes, the fruits of their wisdom will be plundered directly.
As the half-heir to the throne, Shenghui is certainly not simple; and as you can tell from his name, he is also a man full of ambition. The most important thing is, after rigorous calculations, I believe that with the power I have here, using various methods of defeating, even if the Lieyan family stands idly by, there is an 80% chance of completely crushing this civilization.
With such a decision, Lieyang. Light. Shenghui gave a very decisive order: All weapons are ready! Once within attack range, we fire directly. Without the use of powerful energy weapons, small-label energy weapons are enough to complete an attack distance of one light-year. Of course, this so-called small label is only for the Holy Sun Empire, and it is still terrifying to humans. After all, this is a civilization that has developed technology for tens of thousands of years. Compared with a technological civilization like Earth's that is less than a thousand years old, the advantages are so great that even the people on Earth can't compare with them now.
"There are still 10 light-years to go. All armies have entered special training!" Lie Yang. Guang. Shenghui's face was unusually calm. Two hundred years have been too long, and Jean Shenghui has already ignored his grandfather's grandfather's words!
However, after seeing the situation here, the Lieyan family quietly distanced themselves. Lieyan Ming hopes to think about it for a long time and finally make a decision. I believe in my own judgment! He will appear in front of this civilization as an envoy of peace - of course, the premise is that they really survive the attack of the Holy Sun Empire, otherwise everything is empty talk!
But I believe you should be more than just as vulnerable as you appear. In such a barren star field, conquering 28 galaxies is a miracle in itself!
Approaching the porthole, looking at the sparse starry sky in the distance, the flames, the brightness, and the hope, there was a sneer on the corner of the mouth. ps:
