Chapter 296 "Paper Galaxies"
"...the heartland galaxy?"
The leader of "Zhuguang" thought for a while, then answered truthfully:
"There is currently no galaxy near the center... it is the 'last home' that only the winner can occupy. In order to avoid mutual stimulation, we and another civilization have chosen to avoid that area."
"Although only one civilization can go to the end in the end, it is not yet time for us to go to war. Only in this matter, we have shown an unprecedented tacit understanding..."
"..."
From the mouth of the leader of "Zhuguang", Li Wenyuan probably knew the situation.
There used to be some civilizations in the center of elliptical galaxies when they were born. The density of celestial bodies in such places is much higher than that in the periphery, and the cosmic environment is also much harsher. Theoretically speaking, it is not suitable for the birth of life.
But civilization was born here, and with the beginning of "Cosmic Battle Royale", it became the first group of civilizations to be targeted.
The collapse of ethics and the collapse of the interstellar social order have caused extreme emotions to envelope everyone.
Everyone knows that the looming darkness is approaching the center of the sphere. The closer it is, the more time there will be for civilization, and the more likely it is to block everyone's retreat.
Even though these civilizations were originally regarded as saviors by all civilizations, because they had the most time to study solutions, but as one method after another failed and the living space was forced to shrink, the former trust was transformed into suspicion.
Have they figured out how to isolate us? Or are they ready to leave and just trying to hide the news because there aren't enough resources for everyone to leave?
In the end, these civilizations closest to the center became the target of public criticism and were eliminated first. Even if no one found those threats from their data afterwards, they could not stop.
After that, this galaxy fell into brutal chaos as if cursed by the unwilling souls of these civilizations.
To this day, of the 460 civilizations that once prospered, only two remain in the end.
One is "Light Chasing", their former name was "Light Chasing Society", an archaeological civilization dedicated to the exploration of aliens, but they have been destroyed so far in the battle royale, and now they are just a "civilization survival organization" .
Another civilization that has reached the end of the Battle Royale is the "Fire Chaser", a lost empire in the "Cradle" galaxy. The name of the Light Chaser is modeled after this lost empire.
However, the irony is that these two civilizations with extremely similar names finally became deadly enemies that had to be crossed at this time.
The "Fire Chasers" have fought so far with their profound background, while the "Light Chasers" have survived to the present because of their deepest understanding of "lost technology".
This is the status quo of "Cradle", that is, "Elliptical Galaxy Beta". The last two civilizations have fallen into a confrontation, testing each other, never moving inward before the darkness is approaching, and trying their best to maintain restraint in war.
Because they understand that the next war will be the final decisive battle of life and death.
The reason why Li Wenyuan asked this question is very simple. When the leader of "Zhuguang" mentioned the term "Civilization Battle Royale" with a very strong image, he immediately came up with an idea:
Could this be some kind of experimental field for the "Recorder"?
Judging from what they have done in the "Spiral Galaxy Alpha", it is not impossible for that wicked civilization to create such an experiment for some sociological research. what a reaction."
According to the prerequisite of "every galaxy has an 'observation terminal' built by them", if there is also an "observation terminal" in the "cradle", then this monitor will inevitably respond to the gradually shrinking world.
If this experiment has nothing to do with them, then the "recorder" will definitely try to stop that phenomenon and leave traces in order not to interrupt the recording.
If they just want to record the data of this experiment, then the "observation terminal" must be in the center of the galaxy, and only there can observe the end of the experiment in the approaching darkness.
Finding the "observation terminal" can allow Li Wenyuan to confirm whether this is a "natural disaster" or a "man-made disaster".
But obviously he can't know the answer to this matter at present, because from the dialogue with the leader of "Chasing the Light", Li Wenyuan discovered that this remaining civilization has fallen into a state of extreme scarcity of resources.
In Battle Royale of Civilization, fixed factories are not needed.
They have developed a new way of interstellar survival. Everything of civilization is loaded on countless giant spaceships, and they retreat to the inner circle as the darkness approaches, and collect all available resources.
But "homeless" is not as productive as "settled" after all, not to mention that they also consume too much savings in battle royale.
In the "four into two" war, their opponents destroyed their production fleet in a desperate fight, which had almost devastating effects.
Although they survived the enemy in the end, they are now also in a resource crisis due to the collapsed production line. The output that was once able to be completed by the spacecraft now requires them to send people to collect it everywhere.
Not only that, but they also need to be on guard against the attacks of "fire chasers", which makes their already harsh living environment worse.
The current "Zhuguang" is even on the verge of collapse due to lack of food, and the dignified interstellar civilization will starve to death? This made the desperate leader of "Chasing Light" send out a distress signal again after many years. The purpose was not to ask for help, but to leave a last word.
It’s just that this time a civilization really responded to the distress signal.
After learning about the situation there, Li Wenyuan immediately decided to let some unmanned spaceships jump over there to find clues to the "Recorder", and by the way, provide a little help to the "Light Chasing" civilization.
However, when he hoped that "Zhuguang" would provide a series of coordinate data detailed enough for the transition, what he received was something that shocked him slightly.
"This is…"
The data content does provide extremely detailed coordinates, enough to meet the needs of the transition, but there are several abnormal parameters.
Li Wenyuan, who is very familiar with the transition, knows that it means that the space-time structure there is already extremely weak. If it is described vividly, it is "as thin as paper".
