If a civilization is to develop for a long time, it is a necessary way to break away from its parent star. The resources of a planet are limited, and the gathering of all civilization members on a planet also has huge security risks, so every A smart race with normal thinking ability must step into the starry sky after completing the accumulation of technology in the parent star stage-or any other field, in short they must leave their cradle.

But Aerym Elves faced a dilemma that made them desperate: from their cradle to the nearest supply point, there was enough distance for any elementary space civilization to deter, and their first aerospace technology was impossible to reach They cannot find the origin of pedals and resources in their own star system like other civilizations, and then slowly study various aerospace technologies with sufficient material and energy support, and they cannot find a Proxima station that can be reached in their lifetime.

If a normal civilization wants to step into space, unless it is clever enough to study the deep space navigation technology and super-light speed engine directly on the parent star without making any mistakes, they will inevitably need to In the primitive galaxy, a springboard was sought, and a series of studies were conducted based on other planets with suitable distances. The initial technical accumulation of superluminal speed engines is accompanied by great dangers. Many experimental facilities containing powerful forces cannot be built directly on the parent star, and the most primitive superluminal speed engine fuel can usually only be grown in unsuitable gaseous giant stars. The range is mined. Even without these two conditions, there should be at least another sun around the original galaxy-this distance should not be too far, at least to ensure that the original pioneer can arrive within a generation.

But Aerym Elves has nothing. They have just rushed out of the gravitational circle and they will face an impassable sky—unless they have a way to directly develop deep space navigation facilities while skipping various transitional technologies. Otherwise, you can only be trapped in the barren land of tens of millions of light years.

It is not impossible to directly create a deep space starship with only one parent star, but this requires not only talent, but also great luck, and Aerym Elves does not have such good luck after all, they Failing to find the right path exhausts all non-renewable resources on the planet, and then can only face the barren road of tens of millions of light years and slowly wait for death.

The planet began to dry up. The astral resources were extracted, and even the planet itself was reshaped into a solar floating island with higher energy efficiency, and then the floating island was slowly reorganized into other forms. This group of elves trapped in the cradle can only Constantly transform with the things that you have limited. Keeping their civilization as carefully as possible, their home world is completely unrecognizable and increasingly overwhelmed. Aerym Elves who once thought that they have reached the apex of civilization are weakening day by day, and finally can only guard a solitary sun and a piece of It has been difficult to reshape the floating islands that have been reshaped countless times, and almost no prototypes can be seen. The population also began to decline sharply under the cruel resource restriction bill.

"When I was born, Aerym had reached the critical point of collapse," Hilda said quietly. "No matter how much we cherish our homes, resources are constantly being consumed, and there is no real meaning in a lone star environment. It can be a sustainable resource recycling system. In the past few hundred years, we have even had to find ways to extract energy and matter from the sun. For this reason, we have built a lot of corona stations-that is a very dangerous facility, costly and not enough Stable, every corona station has to pay a huge human and material cost, and sometimes even needs to pay the life of many excellent magic experts, and this is only an expedient measure. "

Hao Ren looked at Hilda with curiosity: "So you found that you can't make a deep space ship and decided to build a portal?"

"Well. This was a grand plan proposed by my husband while he was still alive. Unfortunately, until he died in a corona station explosion accident, we failed to create a truly stable super portal that could lead to the depths of the starry sky. Hilda sighed, "After his death, I spent thirty years using the whole country to build a huge Space - Time accelerator. That thing almost exhausted all the energy accumulated by the three corona stations in a hundred years. , But it caused a huge accident the first time it was started. I was witnessing the start-up ceremony with the ministers on the observation tower ... Then everything exploded. I do n’t know how serious the thing will be, so now I must go back as soon as possible. My people must have been a mess, they need someone to appease. "

Vivian glanced deeply at Hilda with deep feeling: "I don't know what's going on, I always feel a sympathetic sympathy for those Aerym Elves ..."

Lily nodded very well: "Because they are very poor."

Everyone stared at the heartless Husky: Is this the time to say such a serious occasion?

Y’zaks smiled slightly and looked around at others around it: "Now do you know what I said to those Demon Hunter at that time? Resources are precious. I ca n’t afford the internal consumption. I used to come by immigration boat When I heard an old man say that during the development of any civilization, there is a 'fault tolerance value'. This fault tolerance value is determined by their home resource reserves, race's own development ability, home environment and other factors. The higher the resource reserves, the home The better the surrounding environment of the world and the stronger the development capability of the civilization, the higher the fault tolerance value, and the lower the converse. If a civilization wants to develop, it must be transferred to other places nearby before the resources of a region are exhausted. Therefore, they must learn to protect the environment to reduce losses, plan routes to prevent going astray, and most importantly try to avoid internal consumption to prevent waste. The resource reserves of the home world and the surrounding environment are fixed, and people can only decide for themselves. Many races were born in rich places, the planet is rich in products, and there are plenty of resources around the planet. The springboard, so they waste everything, and use their family in the civil war. When they finally wake up, they find that they have n’t even built the last spaceship to the neighboring star, and some races were born in desolate and barren places. Every step they take must be carefully calculated-it is still unknown whether they can finally leave the cradle alive. There are many unfair things in the world, and nothing is more unfair than this 'ethnic fate'. To be honest, I think the earth People are a bit like prodigal prostitutes-your solar system has large and small springboards like Mars and Moon, and giant resource stations like Saturn and Jupiter. Every planet around you is filled with fuel and spaceship shells. And they are still very close, almost reachable with the most primitive chemical fuel spacecraft, but you are busy throwing more bombs at your fellow countrymen-this is stupid, as stupid as the fools in my hometown .Look at those Aerym Elves, their fault tolerance is even negative ... "

Hao Ren looks at Y’zaks in surprise. He rarely sees this big demon speaking such a long paragraph intensely. This big man who looks fierce is usually very kind and never talks much. He faintly realized that the story told by Hilda touched a sensitive point in the heart of this great demon, which may be related to the past of the latter.

And Y’zaks waved apologetically after discovering that the people around it looked different: "I'm too serious, don't mind."

The corners of Vivian's mouth are slightly raised: "No ... I think you said it well, so good that it shouldn't be said from a devil's mouth."

Y’zaks spread his hands with a wry smile: "You are not the first to say so."

"I thought a lot after coming to a different world," Hilda was silent for a long time before suddenly speaking again, "I confirmed for the first time that there are other races or even other worlds, and many scholars in our family. Guess. During those two days on Earth, I happened to see your science program and know what your star system is and how far you are from the nearest star-I feel incredible. We were curious about our surroundings before. Whether it is normal, but suffering from no reference at all, so we are not sure whether Aerym Elves is too stupid or too unfortunate at this stage. Now I am relieved-maybe I should not blame those scholars. "

"Except for special cases, there are very few intelligent races that are truly stupid," ASanbaA said suddenly. "As long as you are aggressive, it is worthy of praise. The rest should not be astray or even trapped on the parent star. Being blamed, because stepping into the sea of ​​stars is indeed a very difficult task, and often depends on luck. Sometimes a race can't find a way to escape gravity, it is not that they are not hard enough or smart enough, simple I ’m just not lucky enough. "

A slight buzzing sound came from somewhere in the spaceship.

The virtual image around the bridge becomes bright again, and a brilliant sun appears at the corner of the screen.

"Aerym is here." ASanbaA said. (To be continued.)
