Chapter 705: Home Planet
Leaving the wormhole space is actually a very wonderful process.
Before passing through the escape interface, Ivey's control of the mass energy body used the repulsive force generated to accelerate Chu Tianjiang, and finally reached a very high speed. It was only the moment he passed through the escape interface that the repulsive force vanished, and it immediately transformed into a powerful attraction.
At this time, behind Chu Tianjiang, it was no longer a wormhole that released the mass energy body, but a miniature black hole that devoured everything!
As Chu Tianjiang knew, on the opposite side of the wormhole was the black hole.
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, and the moment he left the escape interface, Chu Tianjiang controlled the mass energy body and flew at the fastest speed, but the powerful attraction generated by the black hole still made it difficult for Chu Tianjiang to move, and it was even possible to be sucked into it by the black hole.
Chu Tianjiang exerted all his strength, but he still couldn't distance himself from the miniature black hole.
In fact, for miniature black holes, the escape interface is only the range that light can escape, that is, within this interface, not even light can escape the powerful attraction of the black hole. That is, even outside the escape interface, the space is severely compressed and distorted by compression. In this distorted space, distances cannot be measured on ordinary scales, and the speed at which time passes is affected.
It was also at this time that Chu Tianjiang suddenly thought of something.
That is, when they came to the solar system, the invaders were energy people, and it was only after arriving in the solar system that they were transformed into material life.
Obviously, this was done in response to the terrifying attraction of miniature black holes.
Chu Tianjiang did not hesitate, and immediately transformed the mass energy body that made up the body into an energy body form. Immediately after, the powerful attraction that bound him disappeared.
Black holes can attract all matter, even photons, but not energy bodies.
From the outside of the escape interface, the miniature black hole is very small, about the size of a miniature wormhole, just a sphere about ten centimeters in diameter. Of course, this is only a measure of subjective consciousness. Because the space around the miniature black hole is compressed, the miniature black hole is much larger when it gets closer than it appears at a distance. The gravitational pull generated by the miniature black hole makes it impossible to spread out the space around it.
After flying out of the distance, Chu Tianjiang stopped, because he found that he was near a huge star.
It's a solid star, maybe a planet, maybe a moon. Although Chu Tianjiang had already guessed that the exit of the wormhole, that is, the other end of the space bridge, should be near the home planet of the invader, the star in front of him made Chu Tianjiang unable to believe that this was the home of the invader no matter what.
It's a dead planet!
According to Feist's understanding, the home star of the invaders is a planet with an ocean covering up to 95 percent, and it is a very huge planet, almost 100 times the volume of the earth, but the surface is covered with a large amount of liquid water, and the scale of the inner core is smaller, the core is mainly composed of light elements, plus the radius is larger, so the surface gravity of this planet is only 1.4 times that of the earth. If you don't consider the composition of the atmosphere, even ordinary humans can live and thrive on this planet after adapting. Of course, in order for humans to survive on this planet, they must first learn how to swim and how to live in water.
The problem is that the star in front of you is not like this at all.
There is no water on the surface of the planet at all, only rolling hills and bottomless canyons. There are no signs of life, and it seems that there is no life here at all.
Chu Tianjiang suddenly thought that Ivey had sent him to another micro-universe.
It's just that Chu Tianjiang immediately denied this possibility, because on some plateaus on the surface of the astral body, there were traces left by a large number of intelligent life.
City!
Covering the entire highland of the city!
Obviously, it was not a plateau before, but a land that had risen out of the sea level, or islands scattered in the ocean to be exact.
It's definitely a city, it's definitely a city built by intelligent life.
Chu Tianjiang flew towards the planet.
The atmosphere is very thin, and the magnetic field generated by the stars is so weak that it cannot block the stellar winds blowing from the main star, so it cannot protect the creatures living on the planet, or even the liquid water and atmosphere on the surface of the planet. Powerful stellar winds can blow away all the gas on the planet's surface and cause the liquid water to evaporate, dissipating with the atmosphere, eventually depriving the planet of life.
If there is life on the planet, liquid water is the most critical existence.
Obviously, the liquid water has been depleted, and the civilization established by the invaders, at least on the home planet, has completely disappeared.
It is important to know that invaders evolved from marine creatures. Although the ancestors of humans also came from the sea, humans are standard terrestrial creatures. The invaders, on the other hand, initially gained their intelligence in the form of sea creatures and established a vast maritime civilization.
It's just that this civilization is not built on the bottom of the sea, but floats inside the ocean.
The reason is very simple, except for the offshore sea near the island, the water depth of other seas on this planet is as high as tens of kilometers, and in some places even more than 100 kilometers. Although the main star is brighter, it is impossible for the light to reach the deep sea, and therefore intelligent life cannot appear in the deep sea.
With the disappearance of the ocean, the maritime civilization established by the invaders also died out completely, leaving not even a trace of it.
All that remains are epigenetic terrestrial civilizations, the cities built by the invaders on land, that is, the buildings in the cities.
Obviously, a long time ago, maybe thousands of years ago, this planet was deserted.
Although there are obvious differences between these cities and human-built cities, for example, each city has a fully enclosed protective barrier composed of either material or some kind of powerful field, so that its internal environment is more suitable for marine life, but the essence of the city remains the same, that is, the space for a large number of individuals to live, so compared with human cities, these cities have many similarities.
Tall buildings, spacious streets, and numerous public areas.
It can be seen that the social structure of the invaders has some similarities with that of humans, and at least like humans, invaders are also social creatures. This is not surprising, as invaders also gained intelligence through natural evolution, and complex social interactions can make it easier for social beings to evolve intelligence. In fact, on Earth, in addition to humans, other sapient creatures are social, such as chimpanzees, close relatives of humans, dolphins living in the ocean, such as huge elephants, and so on.
After flying less than a circle around the star, Chu Tianjiang saw the second star in the galaxy.
It's closer, but it's not as bright as the main star. What's more, this secondary star is actually a planet that also orbits the main star. That is, the distance of this inferior star from the home star of the invader changes over time.
In a sense, the ability of the invaders to evolve at a much faster rate is directly related to this substar.
One more star means that in this small micro-universe, there is one more life belt that is enough to produce intelligent beings, which means that the civilization where the invader is located is in danger, and it also means that when it evolves to the stage of technology, it has to consider the threat from the outside world.
The history of the invaders is, in fact, a history of conquest.
In the development of the invaders' civilization, "conquest" is always the main theme, and it is through conquest that the invaders' science and technology have made great progress. The reason is very simple, there is absolutely no peace between two different intelligent civilizations, especially due to the limitations of limited resources and space, neither intelligent civilization will regard the other intelligent civilization as a neighbor that can live in peace, let alone live in peace with it. In the competition of intelligent civilizations, there is one result, that is, only the most powerful intelligent civilization can obtain the resources and space needed for survival, while the weak intelligent civilization will inevitably perish, and there will be absolutely no other outcome, and there will be no other outcome.
Compared to the invaders, the living environment of human beings can be said to be too comfortable.
In a sense, it is precisely because there is no imminent external threat that mankind has stood still, and science and technology have not really developed.
It can be seen that as long as the invasion can be defeated, then the invasion from other micro-universes is not necessarily a bad thing.
The invasion from the outside world can at least give humanity a sense of urgency.
Flying around the star a few times, Chu Tianjiang did not find any signs of life, nor did he find the intruder who remained on this star.
It's just that those well-preserved buildings made Chu Tianjiang believe that the invaders were not extinct, but abandoned this star and their home planet. Maybe the invaders still exist, but they left here, left this micro-universe, and went somewhere else.
At this time, Chu Tianjiang saw the highest plateau.
It was an isolated plateau, and like the others, there was a massive city at the top, and quite possibly the largest on the entire planet.
According to Ivey, it should be the capital of the invaders, the capital on the home planet.
Chu Tianjiang flew towards the ground.
The atmosphere has not disappeared completely, but has become extremely thin and unable to provide protection for living things, or even to provide them with the oxygen they need to breathe.
From a bird's-eye view, the city is extremely small.
Only when you fly closer, over the city, can you really feel the enormity of the city.
Although it was only a city built on a plateau, it was larger than any city Chu Tianjiang had ever seen, including Doomsday City, which had 200 million inhabitants.
