In the distant starry sky, in a cosmic world that is unknown how far away from Chinese civilization, there is a miraculous world. Here, countless "large galaxies" like the Milky Way gather together, and they coil around each other to form an even larger star cluster!
This is a miraculous place and the core of a "original universe" - this is the center of the known universe. It is said that the world begins here and gradually spreads outward. Of course, the universe is mysterious and vast. Even if countless civilizations gather together, they still have not solved the secrets of the universe! Everyone can only say that it is "from the known universe" and "legendary".
But no matter what, this place is indeed completely different from the surroundings. The distance between stars is often only tens of billions of kilometers - the average galaxy is about ten light years, and there are many more rocky planets here. The equal density of the planets here is like compressing the volume of the Milky Way tens of thousands of times. Here, there are huge starry sky gates that are several light-years in size. They are like high-speed passages in the universe, connecting large galaxies one after another. Spaceships shuttle densely among them, and all kinds of life survive and take root here. There are even countless powerful intelligent beings living directly in space.
There are natural planets and man-made space habitats here...
There are countless plant-like life forms and giant beast-like life forms living in space.
But after seeing the spacecraft of intelligent life, these giant beasts will immediately fly away like dogs and cats.
In the world here, there is basically no such thing as a black sky on a living planet, because - there are countless stars in outer space, and they are all very close together. Even if a planet is thrown directly into any location in a (large galaxy), it is estimated that the planet There is also the light of the full moon.
Of course, there are more lives and more planets. This leads to a very serious problem - space debris. Needless to say, there are countless space junks here, and even man-made waste gases and natural waste gases in space, etc., permeating the entire star cluster; so that when viewed from a distance, the star cluster as a whole looks like a nebula, a planet hundreds of millions of light years away. Huge nebula. However, with scientific calculations and assistance, the self-precipitation of star clusters and the development and destruction of intelligent life, etc. Just right balance.
Here, at every moment, a naturally intelligent race will be born on the planet, and then develop independently under the care of the surrounding powerful civilizations to form its own civilization, and then add it to this huge galaxy group - in fact, In the grand alliance of cosmic civilizations.
At this moment, a welcome ceremony is being held in the Grand Alliance of Cosmic Civilizations - in the past ten thousand years, more than 5,000 civilizations of level five or above have joined the Grand Alliance of Cosmic Civilizations. Of course, these so-called ten thousand years are calculated according to the time of the Grand Alliance of Universal Civilizations; and among the more than 5,000 level five and above civilizations, there are three "level seven civilizations" that "escaped" from the Milky Way.
This welcoming ceremony was held on a huge continent. This continent was not just a continent. It's a three-dimensional building-like world! From a distance, it doesn’t look like a world of technology, but like a palace of gods!
And the most important thing is that there are countless such huge man-made continents circling around here! This artificial world is not actually inside a galaxy, but is built in the blank space in the center of three large galaxies - there is a blank space of about 300,000 light-years, and right here is a completely artificial world. Appeared here unexpectedly!
Not just an artificial continent! It’s tens of thousands! The celebration was held on only one of the continents - of course the central continent.
But the central continent. It can only mean that it was established earlier, but it does not mean that it is the largest; in fact, there is a larger peripheral space.
The world and continent called the "Light of Civilization" where the celebration is held is actually a city! A huge unimaginable city!
This continent/city is a regular circle with a diameter of more than ten light years. With the technological background of the Universal Civilization Alliance, it is not that it cannot be larger, but that it is inappropriate to be larger. Although technology is amazing, sometimes We also have to compromise with reality, such as cost, operation and maintenance management, availability, security and other considerations. Of course times are improving. The outer continents are getting bigger and bigger.
But even so, it was shocking enough.
Ten light-years in diameter, the upper and lower sides are layered like rooms on a cruise ship. The overall height exceeds 5 light-years and the height of one side is 2.5 light-years. It is like two large cakes superimposed on each other; each layer is tens of billions of kilometers high. , there are even stars floating in the middle, and there are planets orbiting around the stars!
Here it is. The idea that man can conquer nature is vividly interpreted! Even on a large scale of a few light years, intelligent life can already build its own world according to its own will!
And there are tens of thousands of such continents around them, forming a large artificial galaxy! The entire large galaxy extends outward in two spiral arms. Each node of each spiral arm is a large continent, and there are countless small artificial continents in the middle. Here, stars are no longer the center of the galaxy; huge stars are hung as easily as light bulbs over every artificial continent. The laws of the world here are not the laws of nature, but the will of intelligent life!
At this moment, on the periphery of this completely artificial large galaxy, on the periphery of the two spiral arms, two new continents with a diameter of 15 light years are being built.
In the center of this galaxy known as the "smart" galaxy, on the continent of light of civilization, a grand welcome ceremony and a grand event slowly kicked off.
In the "square" at the top, which is as wide as a light-year, countless intelligent beings of all kinds stand here, including giants with a height of several hundred meters and dwarves with a height of tens of centimeters, but all the intelligent beings stand there. All life has one characteristic - the human form! In other words, there must be a brain and hands—it doesn’t matter how many heads and hands there are. There would be no intelligent life without an excellent brain; and there would be no creative ability without hands! Therefore, the starry beast is the "beast".
Intelligent life basically has one characteristic: it started from the beginning—that is, it developed from terrestrial civilization. Therefore, most intelligent life forms are below 10 meters in height; only a few intelligent life forms exceed 100 meters in height.
At this time, in this huge square that was as wide as a light-year, huge projections rose up in countless places, showing the situation in the center. In the center, there is a multi-story building with a huge cone that is about a thousand kilometers long - high in the middle and low on all sides, with layers of rings on top. Each ring has countless "rooms" and walls. About one meter in height. Each "room" is about thirty meters long and wide, just enough for a diplomatic mission to be stationed. This building as a whole is like a pyramid, but it is not made of stone, but is made of strange materials similar to metal and plastic; it is also assisted by countless computer equipment. The room at the scene was almost full - it can be imagined that this grand alliance of cosmic civilizations is not just a rumor, there are really countless civilizations gathered here.
There are only 9 rooms at the top. The design of these nine areas and the seats are all extremely luxurious. At first glance, they look like the seats of a king. Needless to say, this is the "high-level leader" of the Universal Civilization Alliance. There are only nine such positions, and only the nine most powerful countries or civilizations can achieve this position.
The following is arranged one by one according to civilization or country's strength, civilization level, etc. However, only those who have reached the fifth level of civilization are qualified to have a place here; civilizations with less than the fifth level are considered "immature" civilizations.
At this moment, the scene was full of people. There were nine powerful civilizations in the top nine positions: 1 Bernard Civilization, 2 Gru Civilization, 3 Flatla Civilization, 4 Annodson Civilization, and 5 Draconis Civilization (1 A cold-blooded, lizard-reptilian intelligent life), 6 Komaron Civilization (amphibious fish-tailed people), 7 Wujia Civilization (a kind of insect alien intelligent life), 8 Ross Civilization (a civilization with spiritual superpowers that can naturally change the body between virtual and real), 9 Naga Civilization (a cold-blooded life with a snake tail).
Representatives of the nine civilizations at the top sat down, and the millions of civilizations below gradually began to calm down, and everyone finally started a grand celebration!
The "person" who spoke was from the Bernard Civilization. He was the prince of the Bernard Civilization and the younger brother of the current emperor of the Bernard Civilization - Bode King Zach Payne.
In the civilization of the universe. In such a fiercely competitive environment, countries and civilizations need a voice, so the imperial system prevails. However, because the absolute centralization of the imperial system is not suitable for the starry sky era with highly developed civilization, many of them are "imperial republics" - the country is an imperial system on the surface, but in fact the citizens still have great rights, such as today's China. In fact, although the current emperor of the Chinese Empire is the bloodline of Boss Zhang, there are now tens of millions of descendants of Boss Zhang's bloodline, and one can be chosen from among the tens of millions of descendants. That is another type of "republic".
The monarchy can effectively ensure unity and reject all kinds of nonsense; while the republic can make society enlightened and give full play to the intelligence of every citizen.
In short, the Bernard Civilization is the most powerful race, civilization, and empire in the Universal Civilization Alliance. It is also a well-deserved royal family among millions of civilizations! As one of the few recognized peak eighth-level civilizations in the universe, or ninth-level civilization (no one can be sure), the average lifespan of citizens is as high as one hundred thousand years; and the royal family, nobles, etc., even have a lifespan of one million years. ! And this Baldur King Zach Payne himself is nearly 300,000 years old!
Standing in the first position, Bode King Zach Payne had a calm attitude (actually a kind of arrogance. This position is ours!) and spoke loudly in his own language: "In the development of civilization, wisdom Life is constantly challenging the limits of nature and the universe. This is the development of civilization.
However, different ways of challenging and thinking, coupled with different races and different environments of different intelligent civilizations, have formed thousands of civilizations. Every civilization is excellent. Every excellent civilization is the most important resource for our cosmic civilization.
But a civilization can only be considered a mature civilization after it reaches level five civilization. Because at this level, it has formed its own culture, its own technology, and its own development route. To sum up, this civilization has its own soul! In other words, this civilization has matured.
And such a mature civilization can be regarded as a true cosmic-level civilization. Of course, only such a civilization can make its own contribution to the civilization of the entire universe; and you will also have enough ability to digest and absorb the essence of other civilizations.
Now, in the past ten thousand years, we have once again absorbed 5,115 civilizations above level five to join us. This is a grand event. Let us congratulate these civilizations for entering this big family and bringing us new culture.
But now that you have joined this big family, you must have your own place. In this regard, the best way is war, and the level of civilization is divided by the victory of the war. ”
war? The newly arrived representatives of 5115 civilizations were obviously not surprised, but rather eager to try! The level of status directly determines the status of one's own civilization in this grand alliance of cosmic civilizations! With the division of status, of course there will be division of obligations and interests!
For the future of civilization, we can only - fight! (To be continued...)
ps: The transition is a bit stiff and this chapter is also a bit crude. It can only be written as an outline. It's so shameful, everyone is trying every possible means to fill the gap, but Tianya is trying every possible means to reduce it. It’s all dry stuff
