Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 640: The troubles of the Apollo civilization
The Apollo civilization, a four-level civilization with a long history, originated from a hot and humid ocean planet.
The ocean planet is recognized as the most difficult starting point for the development of science and technology in the Milky Way.
Although in this type of ocean planet, the infamous five-level civilization "Green Star Civilization" was born, but there is only one Green Star civilization with a racial value against the sky in the long history of the galaxy. Among the ten thousand ocean planets, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine are all indigenous creatures or low-level creatures similar to fish.
There is a small probability that these biological communities will give birth to wisdom, just as dolphins on the earth have a certain amount of intelligence. If they are given more time, they may not be able to become smarter.
However, these intelligent creatures are in the ocean, it is difficult to develop serious science and technology, and naturally they cannot get out of their own planet.
Because this type of planet usually has oceans hundreds of kilometers deep!
In the absence of any land, the ocean planet is extremely lack of metal, and there is no adequate dry environment to ignite a flame. It is even more impossible for these beings to dive down to a depth of hundreds of kilometers and go to the seabed for mining.
In this case, it is very difficult to build a conventional technology tree.
Only the natural and powerful species of the Green Star Civilization, relying on its own biological smelting methods, can extract the elements in the seawater and develop a complete set of biotechnology trees, can it get out of its own planet.
But looking at the entire galaxy, there is only one green star civilization. More ocean races can't evolve this kind of ability, and the path of evolution is often gone. Once you choose the wrong path at the beginning, it is impossible to overthrow it and start over. The purpose of evolution is to survive, not to develop technology.
The reason why the Apollo civilization has developed to the present level is that they were inspired by other interstellar civilizations in a very distant age!
This kind of enlightenment and even hand-in-hand education and guidance continued until the interstellar age, and then the Apollo civilization smoothly became a subsidiary civilization of the suzerain civilization.
There are many interstellar alliances that are produced in this way.
Some fourth-level civilizations have such unique preferences. When they choose the "major goal of civilization", they will use curvature technology to traverse the planets to obtain more social knowledge, and then try to cultivate some special racial values. High indigenous civilizations come to help themselves.
Including the three major forces surrounding the Dyson Ball, Edifiers, Ereda, etc., many of them have cultivated their own subsidiary forces before gradually developing into a multi-racial major league.
These things humans have never experienced before, so it is difficult to understand.
After all, human beings do not have such leisure and elegance to do this kind of things. The time for the new humans to enter the starry sky is still short, and it is too late for their own development.
The Apollo civilization can be regarded as a species with a very high race value.
First of all, this species is very smart. Without a good education, the average intelligence is around 120. This is indeed a very smart species.
Secondly, they have a very long life span. Even without the blessing of technology, they can easily survive for five hundred years. With the life extension technology, two to three thousand years are not a problem.
They have flexible tentacles and can easily pick up filaments that are thinner than hair. They are very good workers.
Plus, these guys are born with high patience and are good at some detailed and boring work.
Such a racial value, in a smart life, can be regarded as one in a thousand or even one in a thousand!
The individuals of the Apollo civilization look strange and look a bit like squids, but there is a spine inside the body, which can support the complex movement of the body, and can also adapt to life on land to a certain extent.
……
The inside of this battle star is full of water resources. There are many big squid bathing in the room. For them, bathing is the best way to entertain. There are also some squids who are working, wearing power armor, which is soaked in liquid, so that the entire skin will not be overly dry.
In a large conference room in the planetary fortress, a few squids were taking a bath while discussing...
"Sir! Our ‘Anubis Planetary Fortress’ is expected to arrive at the target area for the seventeenth time at astronomical time**, please indicate!"
"Now that it has arrived, continue with the mission."
"It doesn't seem to make any sense to go on like this, Al, what do you think?"
"Our soldiers have already begun to complain, and over there... they have also begun to urge us to withdraw if we really can’t, before we cause any damage..."
Several big squids are discussing the current form. The **** new human civilization has not yet submitted to it. This situation has exceeded their expectations!
Because in their impression, the New Human Civilization is a "mouth-cannon civilization", even if the Dyson Ball's territory was robbed by a third-level civilization, it was just a few words.
That's why they got up to grab the battle star.
Yeah, what if you grab a battle star? It's not just obedient!
But now things are a bit hard to get off the ground, neither is it to fight, nor is it to retreat.
"Once it is withdrawn, although the entire civilization has not suffered any loss, our status is ruined! We will be scolded by the people and then step down!"
"Then just...kill them!" A fierce light flashed in the dark eyes of a big squid.
"No way!"
"Even if we can annihilate the opponent, what can we get? Except for a broken and broken battle star... Then? If we lose too much, we will still step down..."
"Yes, this is not the time for the final battle..."
They have all observed the flash of the anti-matter weapon "Planet Nemesis", and they have conducted a series of evaluations on the power of this super weapon.
One of the experts said: "It's nothing more than a bluffing weapon... How many of these super bombs can they take out? Do you really think antimatter is a cheap consumable?"
"But as long as this weapon exceeds our expectations, then our losses will become unbearable."
"If the loss is too great, we will lose our current position!"
Several big squids are arguing about this.
Very annoying, really annoying, the current situation is like a thick fog, it is difficult to find the way forward.
Because the Apollo civilization was completely forcibly fostered by the alien interstellar civilization ~IndoMTL.com~ does not have much of its own ideology and culture. Their political system even remained in a fairly primitive feudal era, with the distinction of nobility and common people.
These big squids are the highest nobles of the Apollo civilization, equivalent to the archons of the human era of Athens.
The social system is simply capitalism, and then use the banner of "liberal politics" to cover it up. Such a regime naturally does not have too high cohesion.
Their position is not stable. The huge productivity conceals part of the class contradictions, which does not mean that there are no contradictions. There are many squids staring at them, hoping that they will make mistakes!
Dropping the seedlings and fostering development has made the foundation of the entire civilization unstable. All technology and culture are foreign. The suzerain civilization controls the culture of the entire civilization and also controls the hearts of the people.
The most important thing is that the Apollo civilization is still in a split state!
Since ancient times, this civilization has had several different political forces, hostile to each other and full of hatred.
