Chapter 668: Founder

As the surrounding energy bodies began to gather, Chu Tianjiang withdrew the energy bodies taken out of the subspace. Next, it's up to Iska. Using his spiritual superpowers, coupled with the fact that he is an energy person, Iskar is able to read the information in these energy bodies.

Through the exchange of consciousness, Chu Tianjiang was able to obtain the information read by Iscar in real time.

There are indeed many secrets, some of which have been hidden for thousands of years.

These secrets also made Chu Tianjiang realize that the historical materials that could be obtained through open channels were often the result of careful selection and even compilation by the ruling group.

What led to the fourth all-out war was the dramatic reduction in the effectiveness of nuclear weapons by modulators who did not possess superpowers, thereby upsetting the strategic balance among the great powers. The real reason for the war, or another key reason, is the energy body, to be precise, the energy person. Combining energy bodies with those who already possess superpowers can essentially make nuclear weapons, which once threatened everyone, an ornament.

In other words, a thousand years ago, scientists on the United Continent discovered energy bodies, and even found a way to make energy bodies on a large scale and make people realize them. As a result, stable relations between the great powers were broken, and unwilling countries used nuclear weapons first.

The five ancestors who established the Doomsday Empire were the first five energy people on the United Continent.

In fact, they are not modulators, at least not initially, but scientists, or physicists. It was they who discovered the energy body, found the way to make the energy body, and were the first to realize the energy body, and the first to enter a new stage of evolution.

The problem is that five people can't be one civilization.

After the Fourth Total War ended in near-total destruction, these five men stepped forward, first controlling the superpowers who made up the vast majority of the survivors, and then forming the Doomsday Empire on this basis, and then began to protect the only tens of thousands of civilians left.

It's just that these five founders did not disclose the secret of the energy body, but in the process of creating the Doomsday Empire, they got rid of all the people who knew the secret.

Initially, I just didn't want more people to become energy people.

To put it bluntly, if everyone becomes an energy person and has the same superpowers as the five founders, their ruling base will collapse.

It's just that it's not that simple.

After the situation stabilized, as human civilization began to revivenation, the five founders formed their own families based on themselves, as well as the Privy Council, the supreme ruling body of the empire. Because the power of science determines the ruling order, the Privy Council directly controls the Academy of Sciences.

It is precisely because of this that the Doomsday Empire has never made much breakthrough in the field of physics.

Strictly speaking, it's not that there are no results, but that the successes are not made public.

In the later research, the five founders found that even if they were willing to disclose the secrets of the energy body, it would be impossible for everyone to be energized, because the resources on the United Continent were simply not enough to make everyone energetic, and at that time, they could not find a way to break through the powerful confinement field.

Of course, the research of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in the field of physics is mainly aimed at breaking through the confinement field of force.

Research in this area has been going on for hundreds of years, and countless scientists have spent their lives on it without achieving any breakthroughs. It seems that some of the fundamental physics properties on the United Continent have changed, making it difficult for scientists in the Doomsday Empire to achieve results in the field of fundamental physics. It is precisely this change that has kept the achievements of the Doomsday Empire in the field of physics in the stage of controlled nuclear fusion.

This situation would have been maintained without what happened more than four years ago.

In a sense, even in tens of millions of years, the Doomsday Empire may not die.

That is, the powerful confinement field that shrouded the Doomsday Empire only prevented the humans on the United Continent from interacting with the outside world, and did not completely isolate it. If the population of the Doomsday Empire is maintained at 20 billion, then even in another 10 million years, the planet will not be depleted of hydrogen.

As a result, Chu Tianjiang believed a previous speculation.

That is, the United Continent is a deliberately set up testing ground for the invaders.

The invaders used a strong confinement field to isolate the United Continent from the outside world, so that the human civilization on the United Continent would not be affected, and it would naturally evolve just like the human civilization more than 10,000 years ago. In order to prevent the human civilization on the United Continent from making key scientific and technological advances, that is, advances in the field of space technology, the invaders changed some of the physical characteristics of the United Continent. It is very likely that the invaders did this because they wanted to know how far human civilization could develop and how much it had achieved without being influenced by the outside world.

In fact, this is not only Chu Tianjiang's speculation, but also the speculation of the five rulers of the Doomsday Empire.

Because they are energy people, these five rulers have not died, but have been alive, at least half a year ago, but they have not been in contact with the outside world in their true faces, and every hundred years or so, they will change their identities and appear in front of others in another appearance.

Maybe the common people on the United Continent don't know what the Forceful Confinement Field is all about, but the five founders of the Doomsday Empire know very well that the Forceful Confinement Field is the result of science and technology, and it is definitely not a natural phenomenon. In fact, in the course of in-depth scientific research, many unnatural phenomena can be discovered. It is precisely because as early as 500 years ago, the fearless founder of the Doomsday Empire became suspicious, and thus introduced a policy of limiting births, so that the limited space and resources on the United Continent would not be consumed by the unlimited population in a short period of time.

It's just that they don't know about the existence of the Dao invaders, and they can only guess that there is an even more powerful civilization outside the powerful confinement field that envelops the United Continent. Based on this speculation, they came to the conclusion that the United Continent was created by that powerful civilization to achieve a certain purpose, including them, and that all the people on the United Continent were nothing more than intelligent experimental subjects.

In a sense, this is a conclusion that can make anyone despair.

Even for the five founders with their powerful superpowers, they felt hopeless. It's like a fat pig that has been raised in captivity suddenly has wisdom, and knows that the space for its survival is the pigsty, and when it is taken out of the pigsty, it is also when it is slaughtered.

Despair to despair, the five founders did not announce the discovery, but hid it.

In order to avoid despair leading to emotional outburst, the five founders even erased each other's memories and hid the discovery in the Privy Council, and only when the five founders made the same decision could the sealed information be obtained from the Privy Council.

Forgetting is also a way to cope with despair.

At least for the five founders at the time, the Doomsday Empire was in order, and there was no mortal threat in the foreseeable future, so there was no need to use despair as a motivation for the whole society, or for the five of them, and forgetting became the best option.

The problem is, their predictions of the future are not accurate.

More than four years ago, the powerful confinement field was suddenly broken, and the arrival of a group of outsiders changed their fate and changed the entire United Continent.

Although it was also humans, it was a much more powerful group of humans.

If the humans on the United Continent are a herd of domestic pigs raised in captivity, then it is a herd of wild boars that break in. Although the wild boar is much less numerous, it is more ferocious and stronger. For a domestic pig that grows smoothly, it is simply impossible to match the wild boar.

Of course, this analogy is not apt.

It's a pack of wolves!

After the Forbidden Ground was broken, the five founders realized that the intruders had more advanced technology and could easily defeat them. Maybe the common people will not be affected, after all, all rulers need to rule, but the original ruler will definitely not end well.

For the five founders, failure was complete destruction.

Face-to-face combat with the intruder, brave and stupid. The gap in science and technology determines that such resistance is meaningless.

It's just that the five founders are not stupid.

The intruders had come to the United Continent apparently not to admire the well-preserved natural scenery, nor to collect specimens and do some scientific investigations. The intruders have only one purpose, and that is to replace the original ruling group and become the new ruler and occupy the entire United Continent.

If the United Continent no longer exists, the intruders will not gain anything.

At the last moment, the five founders did an extremely crazy thing, that is, they used the energy body in the pentagram tower to declare war on the intruders.

To be precise, to make the intruder compromise.

If the intruder does not compromise, then they will detonate those energy bodies and die with the intruder, or at least leave the intruder with nothing.

It's crazy, but it works.

Of course, the five founders didn't know that after the powerful confinement field was broken, detonating the energy body in the Pentagon could not only destroy the entire United Continent, but also destroy the entire earth, blowing the earth into powder. If the intruders do not compromise, human civilization will be over.

The intruders had to compromise.

Through this crazy approach, the five founders have won themselves a chance, but they have seriously underestimated the intruder's capabilities.

In fact, mutual compromise also made the five founders let their guard down.

According to the agreement reached, the interlopers will not seek dominance on the United Continent, and the five founders have also pledged that the Doomsday Empire will not expand beyond the United Continent. It was this agreement that made the five founders feel that the intruders were equally afraid of the Doomsday Empire. In the next few years, the understanding of the outside world made the five founders firm this opinion, and even considered themselves more powerful than the interlopers.

Obviously, this is an extremely erroneous perception.
