Chapter 725: Star Core
Although it was already known that the world realm where the human civilization was located had changed, Chu Tianjiang did not understand it, nor did he know what kind of change it was.
"First of all, our enemies are very strong, as strong as Ummah."
"Qualitative people?"
Iskar nodded and said, "They are all made of mass bodies, and their superpowers are above us. It's just that it's definitely not the most important thing. ”
"What?"
"They took advantage of the dom, or rather the fortress created by the Church, the kind of single-celled life that made up the fortress."
"This ......"
"Now that you've returned, you've discovered that the enemy has created ten orbital rings out of that single-celled life, and built a massive space city. The enemy also covered the entire moon with that single-celled life, in order to extract some key resources from the moon's interior. Of course, none of this is a big deal. The enemy even covered the entire planet with that single-celled life, thus altering the basic environment on the ground. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think it's weak here?"
"This ......"
"That's the result of change. Until now, we don't know what this would look like, but it's very clear. In this world of single-celled life, that is, on the surface of the earth, the superpowers we have obtained through the plasma cannot be exerted at all. ”
Chu Tianjiang didn't say anything, because he was already aware of it.
"In fact, it's a miracle that you were able to return to Earth alive."
"Miracle?"
"At the time of the fall, the enemy must have mistaken you for a star produced by nature, at least the Empire's defenses made that judgment, so when you approached, a passage to the ground was opened, so below this passage, you still have a part of the superpowers bestowed by the Mass Body. When this passage closes, you completely lose this superpower. Of course, it's only for the superpowers of the mass, and in other aspects, such as the superpowers you have, they are not affected. It is in this way that you are able to hide yourself and sense the presence of our hunters through your consciousness. ”
Chu Tianjiang was a little surprised, to be precise, very surprised.
"If the passage is closed by the time you land, you've already fallen."
"Anyway, I'm alive."
Iskar smiled reluctantly and said, "It wasn't until much later that we learned that this phenomenon was related to that kind of single-celled life. It is also made up of mass-energies, and it is an extremely large mass-energetic body, so it generates a suppressive force field specifically for the mass-energetic body. Of course, these findings are not critical. The more places we visited, the more we learned and the more we were shocked. ”
"What do you mean?"
"The enemy doesn't care about us at all, even directly ignoring our existence, and doesn't care about other people, and doesn't take humans in their eyes at all."
Chu Tianjiang frowned tightly and didn't say anything more.
For a powerful intelligent civilization, of course, it does not take the insignificance of human beings into account.
"Of course, we also have some gains, such as obtaining some plasma from the enemy, so that we have a deeper understanding of the plasma and find a way to make the plasma."
"Wait......" Chu Tianjiang pressed his hand and said, "You have obtained a mass energy body from the enemy?" ”
"I didn't rob it."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't forget, when we left the Southern Continent, we had been there for a full hundred years, and only occasionally sent some resistance fighters out to find information. It actually took only a few months for the enemy to conquer all the continents, then it took about two years to create the first orbital ring and begin to migrate to space cities. About twenty years later, that single-celled life had covered the entire planet. By the time we left the southern continent, the enemy had established order everywhere and controlled everyone. ”
"Control, not elimination?"
"Why do you want to destroy it?"
"This ......"
"The enemy, in fact, is our compatriots, the compatriots who have been controlled."
"What?"
"At that time, we didn't know each other clearly. It's just that when we go to other continents, the enemy has already set up recruitment stations in various places, and all humans who have taken refuge in the enemy's arms can get a more ideal living environment, and have the opportunity to become a quality life. For many people, both conditions are great temptations. The living environment in the air city and the space city is much better than on the ground, and the life of the mass energy body has an almost unlimited lifespan. That is, anyone can surrender to the enemy and become a lackey of the enemy. It is with this that we have obtained some mass energy bodies and studied them in depth. ”
"And then?"
"We started to scale up and recruit more members. It's just that the speed of our expansion is far less than the speed at which the common people turn to the enemy. For the next hundred years or so, there will be no real humans on Earth. The vast majority of them threw themselves into the arms of the enemy, and we were the ones who were left. ”
"You're human."
"You think we're human?"
Chu Tianjiang was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at Iska.
"In the face of such a formidable enemy, if we don't make any changes, but cling to the old ideas of humanity, we will be doomed a long time ago."
"What did you do?"
"Find a way to defeat the enemy."
"This ......"
"Actually, it's about you."
Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and he was even more surprised.
"The information you left was very helpful to us. Of course, another discovery also played a very important role. ”
"What do you mean?"
"You know the existence of the Great Civilization of the Dao."
"The enemy is a great civilization?"
"It's not that simple." Iskar paused for a moment and said, "As the organization grew, we inevitably fought the enemy, and in the first few battles, we didn't take advantage of anything, even if our warriors were qualitative. ”
"For what?"
"That's exactly what we have to figure out. The enemy is also a qualitative person, able to use superpowers in battle, while ours cannot. Obviously, there is a problem here, and this is the key to defeating the enemy. If we can't figure it out, we will never be able to defeat the enemy. ”
"Figured it out?"
Iskar nodded and said, "It was a very fortuitous discovery. At that time, we already knew that the enemy had covered the moon with single-celled life, but we didn't know why the enemy was doing this, but we felt that more space was needed to accommodate more individuals. In any case, the enemy has built ten orbital rings in between, and the last one is in the orbit of the moon. These orbital rings are both military bases and space cities, with even the innermost orbital rings capable of accommodating almost 100 million people, and the outermost orbital rings capable of accommodating 100 billion people. As the enemy expands its population, it needs more space to live. ”
"That's not the case."
"You're not wrong, it's just appearances. In order to better understand the enemy, we arranged for some members to penetrate into the enemy's interior in a more extreme way. Although most of these infiltration operations failed and suffered heavy losses, a serendipitous success allowed us to discover the secrets of the moon. ”
"What's the secret?"
"Star Core."
"What?"
"Something that exists in all stars, that is, not matter, not energy, not even anything we knew before. To be precise, star cores are only found in larger bodies. The most basic requirement is that the star has enough mass to produce a gravitational pull that allows it to become spherical in the process of autobiography, which is not present in a small star. ”
"What is a star core?"
"The star core is different from the mass energy body, it cannot directly give a person superpowers, and it cannot even be directly used, it can only be used to strengthen the mass energy body."
"Strengthen?"
"To be precise, by fusing into the mass body, the quality body can still play a part of its role even if it is suppressed, so that the life of the quality body has limited superpowers. Of course, the denser the star core is in the mass, the stronger the superpower of the life. If it is not suppressed, the role of the star core is even more obvious, and it can increase the superpower of the qualitative person by several times, or even dozens of times. ”
"This ......"
"This is why we cannot defeat the enemy, and at the same time, the enemy is developing the moon. Now, of course, it's Earth's turn. ”
"The earth has also been exploited?"
"It's being developed, and it's been going on for about a hundred and fifty years."
"The result?"
"Destruction"
"What?"
"Although the planet does not collapse without the core, the core directly affects the magnetic field of a planet. If the Earth's star core is fully developed, it will lose its magnetic field. At that time, all life on the surface of the earth, even the atmosphere, will be completely destroyed. Of course, there is no atmosphere on the moon and there are no living things, so even if there is no star core, it will not have much effect. ”
"The Earth is not the Moon."
"That's not what we need to worry about right now, the Earth's core, at the current rate, won't be mined even in another thousand years. Although mining the star core will weaken the Earth's magnetic field, it will not have much impact for at least the next few hundred years. ”
"But sooner or later."
"For us, if we can't defeat the enemy, it's very likely that we won't be able to wait until that day comes."
Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment and did not refute Iska's words. This is also true, because he cannot wait until hundreds of years from now to challenge the enemy.
