After listening to Noah's explanation, Li Chen's mood is not so fearful.
He frowned at Noah sullenly.
Very speechless complained.
"Noah, what's the matter with you guy?"
"Since you clearly know that wanton exploitation of stellar resources will lead to such dire consequences! Why didn't you speak out earlier?"
"Are you going to watch our Earth civilization go to self-destruction?"
At this moment, Li Chen was very upset.
It's really annoying.
And not kidding.
He questioned Noah in a very serious and even stern tone.
At this time, Noah quickly explained with a smile.
[Host, please don't be angry, let me explain to you slowly! 】
[First of all, according to my calculations, the number of star systems in the region of the sixth star field alone is between 30 billion and 50 billion. 】
[You should know what these numbers are, so I don’t need to elaborate, and then you can look back at the number of star resources we are currently mining...]
[Since we mined the solar system, until now, we have only mined and utilized the resources and hosts of about eleven star systems. 】
[The ten digits haven't reached the end yet. Compared with the total stellar resource reserves of tens of billions in the sixth star field, isn't it even a drop in the bucket? 】
Noah's rhetorical question made Li Chen feel somewhat reasonable.
The stellar resources they are currently mining are really nothing.
At this time, Li Chen hadn't found any words to refute the other party.
Noah went on to explain.
[Host, there is another very important reason why I didn't explain these things to you in the first place. 】
[Because our earth civilization is currently in a rare period of development opportunity, and this period of opportunity is very short, with enemies all around us, we don't have time to hesitate and entangle with those things that we have and don't have. 】
[But I am worried that if I explain these possible problems or consequences to you in advance, you may act more cautiously and feel restrained. 】
【This is very detrimental to the development of earth civilization...】
Noah's explanation again made Li Chen feel that it made some sense.
For a while, there was really no reason to refute.
Li Chen scratched his head.
"Then why are you so honest now?"
He was still frowning deeply.
A lot of other questions came to mind.
Now it is not necessary to hold Noah accountable, or to blame the other party.
What Li Chen thought was that since this problem exists, a corresponding solution must be found.
[Answer to the host, since you have already begun to realize this problem yourself, I don't think it is necessary to continue to hide it. 】
[And we will soon have a decisive battle with the enemy. At that time, our earth civilization will have two endings. Either win and obtain all the resources of other civilizations, further develop and grow ourselves, and grow into a behemoth in the tenth area of Orion's spiral arm! 】
【Either, we lose the battle and are defeated by our opponents, and become subordinate civilizations or are completely wiped out...】
[Since the future direction has begun to become clear, this question must also be understood by you. 】
Noah replied.
After hearing these words, Li Chen was a little dumbfounded.
Not good news.
But generally speaking, after understanding these potential problems, Li Chen let go of the nervousness in his heart.
"So, regardless of whether the enemy comes to provoke us or not, we actually have to deal with them..."
Li Chen was talking to himself.
"That is to say, if we plan to use the sixth star field as our base, we need to plan from now on."
"Learning from the practice of several other civilizations, designate an area as the core area of civilization, and then prohibit any mining activities within the core area."
"Other areas are subject to limited mining..."
Thinking about it, Li Chen began to understand better why those third-level cosmic civilizations.
After so many years of development, it is still only a third-level cosmic civilization.
They cannot fully utilize the resources of an entire star field.
That's not to say they can't do those things.
But can't do that.
Otherwise it would be no different from self-destruction...
A black hole thousands of light-years across.
There is no doubt that it can easily swallow any third-level cosmic civilization.
And if the over-exploited star field collapses into a singularity, the consequences will be even more disastrous.
[Host, what you said is very reasonable, we can start to study this matter immediately. 】
[This does not conflict with the war we are about to start with the enemy, and it does not take too much time to make a decision. 】
[Because I have data records for the area map of the entire sixth star field. 】
Noah heard Li Chen talking to himself, and immediately followed up.
And his words immediately brought Li Chen back from his thoughts.
"good!"
"Let's take a good look at this problem now."
"Noah, please show me the map of the sixth star field in detail, and I will see how to choose a site..."
Li Chen ordered.
At this time, Noah shook his head.
【Host, I have already completed these tasks ahead of time, but I just never had the chance to tell you. 】
Noah said.
His words made Li Chen's eyes look strange.
Glancing at this guy intriguingly, Li Chen didn't bother to continue entangled with him on this issue.
Wen Yan just nodded.
"Then tell me about the specific situation of your work completion."
As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, a holographic three-dimensional map interface popped up in front of his eyes.
This is a map of the universe.
The stars are shining brightly, embellishing it.
From the map, the sixth star field looks like a shape close to a rectangle.
The east-to-west length is about 1,800 light-years.
The maximum north-south width is 1300 light-years, and the minimum is 1287 light-years.
That is, the total area is about 2.3 million square light-years.
And Noah is within this vast star field.
At the very core, a core area with a radius of about 500 light-years is drawn out.
That is, an area of about 785,000 square light years.
Noah set this area as the core area of earth civilization.
[Host, I have finally selected this area after various investigations, analysis and comparison of various data, and it can meet all the conditions that are more suitable for the development of our earth civilization! 】
[Except for the area of about 800,000 square light years, the remaining area of 1.5 million square light years can be mined. 】
[Of course, this area of 1.5 million square light years will also need to be specially demarcated for limited mining in the future. 】
Noah emphasized.
