Chapter 902: The Jungle Eats the Strong
It's a relatively simple galaxy with only one star and a mass that's about the same as the Sun, about 1.5 times that of the Sun. Around the star, there are twelve planets, seven of which are huge gas giants, and five are solid planets located on the inner side of the orbit. In addition, there are 27 dwarf planets, as well as three dwarf planet belts formed by the collapse of large asteroids, each containing millions of objects, and a large number of comets with large elliptical orbits with orbital periods between a few hundred and thousands of years. Each of the seven gas giants has a large number of moons, while the five solid-state planets, except for the one closest to the star, have moons.
Although much larger than the Solar System, the basic composition of this star system is not much different from that of the Solar System.
In this star system, the birthplace of intelligent civilization is the fourth planet from the inside out.
The planet is about twice the size of the Earth, 1.5 times the mass, the ocean occupies three-quarters of the planet's surface area, and the land surrounded by the ocean has a total of four continents and a large number of islands. The atmosphere is a little thinner than Earth's, just enough to block out the strong sunlight and retain the heat from the sun, and the strong geomagnetic field is also strong enough to protect life on the planet.
Obviously, this is a planet that closely resembles Earth.
The difference is that the planet has three moons, the largest of which is about the size of the Moon, and the other two are both small, about one-third the size of the former.
This difference makes the planet's ecosystem more complex.
The point is that the tidal gravity generated by the three moons makes the planet's environment more drastic, and the natural evolution of life is more obvious. In order to adapt to the changing environment, the natural life born on this planet needs to evolve more powerful life force. What's more, in the race for survival, intelligence plays a more important role than physical fitness, so more advanced intelligent life has evolved.
This intelligent civilization is stronger than human beings in the natural stage of evolution.
Of course, from the perspective of civilization itself, the culture of this intelligent civilization is also completely different from human civilization, and its group consciousness far exceeds that of human beings.
From an evolutionary point of view, this is a corollary.
For any given species, the more complex the living environment, the lower the value of individual ability, because it is impossible for any individual to transcend the group. In addition, the complex social relations generated by group life are the basis for the generation of higher intelligence, and they are also the main driving force for the evolution of intelligence. Even in terms of life on Earth, social animals are more intelligent than solitary animals, and the larger the group, the more intelligent they evolved. The fact that human beings can become the only intelligent life on Earth has a lot to do with complex group societies. The main thing that determines the social relations of the group is the environment, that is, the more complex the environment, the easier it is to produce complex group social relations.
During the natural evolutionary phase, this civilization evolved a sixth sense, which became the primary means of communication.
Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing.
The reason is very simple, a highly transparent group will inevitably lead to a decrease in the value of the individual, which will inevitably reduce the value of the individual mutation, and in the process of evolution of any species, the individual mutation has an indispensable importance, and can even be said to be the basis of evolution.
As a result, this intelligent civilization has produced extremely brilliant scientific and technological skills in the stage of natural evolution, but it has not been able to enter the stage of self-evolution for a long time.
Of course, after entering the stage of self-evolution, the mode of evolution has changed radically.
In fact, after entering the stage of self-evolution, the evolution mode of all intelligent civilizations is similar, that is, through self-improvement, the strength of civilization is constantly enhanced, adapting to different living environments, and through this way, the purpose of promoting self-improvement is achieved, thus forming a virtuous circle.
Humans are no exception.
It is precisely because of this that self-evolution has become a watershed for all intelligent civilizations and the most basic factor for measuring the strength of intelligent civilizations.
A smart civilization that can enter the stage of self-evolution on its own can be regarded as a high-level intelligent civilization.
Those who have not been able to enter the stage of self-evolution on their own, but have entered the stage of self-evolution after the arrival of intelligent individuals of the great civilization, or even after receiving the help of the intelligent individuals of the great civilization, are obviously low-level command civilizations, and human beings are such low-level intelligent civilizations.
Fortunately, as long as this watershed is crossed, there is no substantial difference between high-level and low-level.
Born on this planet, it is also a low-level intelligent civilization, and it is even lower than human civilization, because it has not been invaded by outsiders. The point is that its creator did not create an intelligent civilization in other micro-universes, so he did not let this only intelligent civilization be invaded. If human civilization had not been invaded, it would have been in the stage of natural evolution before Ali's arrival.
It was only after the arrival of the intelligent individuals of the great civilization that this intelligent civilization entered the stage of self-evolution.
It is precisely because of this that this intelligent civilization has not yet embarked on the path of external expansion, and even the development of the star system in which it is located is not thorough.
To this day, this planet is still the only home of this intelligent civilization.
Although before this, this intelligent civilization developed aerospace technology, established bases on three satellites, and even began to exploit the resources on the satellites, especially the energy on the largest satellite, to meet the development needs of civilization, and established scientific research bases on neighboring planets, began to explore and transform other planets, created ecosystems on other planets, and transformed other planets into new homes. However, these activities are limited to scientific exploration, and the home planet remains its only living home, and all bases established on other stars cannot be separated from the parent planet. Even after entering the stage of self-evolution, this intelligent civilization has not been able to fly out of its home planet.
Of the more than 100 billion individuals of this intelligent civilization, about 100 billion live on the home planet.
Obviously, it will take enough time for this intelligent civilization to complete the development of the star system in which it is located, and then embark on the road of external expansion.
It is not the problem of this intelligent civilization that has formed this situation, but the creator of this intelligent civilization.
This creator, very similar to the previous Ali, has a very low status in the family, and the last batch of dimension reductions has not been able to exert much influence on the intelligent civilization created. More importantly, this creator does not seem to think that external factors are needed to stimulate the creation of intelligent civilizations, so he has not created intelligent civilizations in the other micro-universes created, and has not let this only intelligent civilization taste the taste of invasion. The ideal environment provided by the creators allowed this intelligent civilization to develop in a very smooth way for millions of years. It is a pity that this almost greenhouse-like environment also makes this intelligent civilization miss the best opportunity to develop and grow.
Time is running out for this civilization.
Using the space bridge created by Ali, Zhang Xiaogang directly led the legion to this star system and surrounded the opponent's home star.
Zhang Xiaogang did not rush to launch a general attack, but first swept away the colonies on other astral bodies.
In order to achieve the effect of the surprise attack, Zhang Xiaogang sent those fighters to attack at the same time, without giving the opponent any chance to counterattack.
By the time this intelligent civilization sensed the invasion, the situation was irreversible.
Ten thousand warriors with a ninth-level composite star core surrounded the planet, propping up a powerful field created by Ali and shielding the entire planet.
It's just that Zhang Xiaogang still hasn't attacked.
It is not a problem to destroy the 100 billion intelligent beings on this planet, Zhang Xiaogang doesn't even need to use all the soldiers in the legion, because those intelligent beings only have mass and energy bodies, and they haven't even discovered the star core, let alone make full use of the star core.
The gap between the mass and the star core is like the gap between the physical body and the energy body.
According to Zhang Xiaogang's estimate, only a hundred warriors need to be mobilized to completely disappear this intelligent civilization within a few hours.
It's just that this is not the main purpose of waging this war.
Not to mention a planet, even a galaxy, is not of great significance to human civilization. In Ali's hands, there are still hundreds of star systems that have not been explored.
After talking with Chu Tianjiang, Zhang Xiaogang knew that the purpose of the war was to obtain scientific water.
Those scientific and technological techniques mastered by the intelligent individuals of the great civilization.
For this, you have to be patient.
At a distance of about 50,000 kilometers from the star, you can clearly see the cities on this planet, or the continents of this planet are huge cities. The planet has been developed very thoroughly, and it needs enough space to accommodate the ever-increasing number of individuals. In order to protect the planet's ecology and give other species enough space to live, all cities float in the air, leaving enough space for sunlight to reach the surface. From a distance, the sky city that gathers over the continent is spectacular.
The question is, what's the use of being spectacular?
The revolt never stopped, and the fighting continued. This intelligent civilization has used all means of warfare, but it has never been able to break through the powerful confinement field.
In a sense, to resist is to die.
Of course, if you don't resist, you're waiting for death.
Such a scene made Chu Tianjiang and Zhang Xiaogang think of the original human race, and thought of the human civilization that was completely desperate after being invaded.
It's brutal, but it's realistic.
Chu Tianjiang and Zhang Xiaogang both knew that if they hadn't led their legions to this star system, they would have suffered the same invasion in the near future.
On the issue of the survival of civilization, there is no room for maneuver, and the law of the jungle will always be the strong.
Of course, such a brutal scene will not last long and will soon be over.
