Chapter 985: Opportunity

The Elam Galaxy is extremely large, the largest galaxy within 5,000 light-years of the vicinity.

In the very center of this galaxy is an extremely massive star, about a million times the size of the Sun. According to the laws of physics that determine the lifetime of a star, because the mass is so large, the star will never live longer than 10 million years, or even shorter, and then it will collapse under the huge gravitational pull and there will be a big explosion. For the same reason, instead of becoming a supernova after the explosion and thus not gaining the next life, the star will simply collapse into a black hole, devouring all the matter and energy in the galaxy. The sheer mass will give the black hole a large escape radius, encompassing the entire galaxy.

It's just that the star didn't collapse.

The reason is simple, before the collapse, Bea came to the three-dimensional space and transformed the star into a carrier of intelligence.

Because a large number of star cores are gathered inside, and the energy released by the star is constantly consumed, the star has been burning steadily.

In its current state, the star will burn for at least a billion years.

If more nuclei are obtained and converted into energy, the star's lifespan will be greatly extended, perhaps for tens of billions of years.

Of course, there is more than one star in this star system.

In the vicinity of the main star, there are thirty-eight substars!

Even substars are enormous.

Of the thirty-eight substars, the smallest one is 100 times the mass of the Sun, while the largest one is 10,000 times the mass of the Sun.

It's just that, compared to the primary star, all the secondary stars are gnomes.

The sum of the masses of the thirty-eight substars is only 10 percent of the lives of the stars.

Because there are so many substars, and the mass of each substar is large enough, its gravitational field covers all the planetary orbits of the main star, which captures all the planets produced during the birth of the star system, so in this star system, the main star has no planets.

In this star system, the planets are substars.

In fact, because the star system is so large, the orbits of the thirty-eight substars are far enough away that each substar constitutes a separate sub-star system. 、

Around the thirty-eight substars, there are at least seventeen planets, a maximum of more than a hundred, and a total of more than a thousand.

This is still a planet with a large mass and a stable orbit, excluding those dwarf planets with a small mass and not on the ecliptic plane, as well as those with a smaller mass and a very unstable orbit, and moons that also have a large mass and stable orbit.

If you count all these larger celestial bodies, the total number is more than 100,000.

What is this concept?

In the Second Home, there are less than a thousand similar objects. If the total mass of the star system is taken as the standard, the Elam system is half a million times the second home of human civilization!

It can be said that even in the central region of the Milky Way, the Elam galaxy is a behemoth.

It's just that the Elam system is not the home galaxy of the Elam civilization.

Of course, strictly speaking, the Elam civilization does not have a home galaxy, because this civilization is a fusion of hundreds of intelligent civilizations created by Beya, and it is a convergent intelligent civilization. More importantly, the Elamaic civilization has no main body, that is, the proportion of hundreds of intelligent civilizations is not much different. If the Elam civilization has a home galaxy, it is also the hundreds of star systems born from these hundreds of intelligent civilizations.

It's just that the Elam system also has indigenous civilizations. It's just that this indigenous civilization is extinct.

This is the intelligent civilization that was chosen by Bea as the carrier of wisdom, and was later destroyed by Bea himself.

Before Beya came to the three-dimensional space, this intelligent civilization benefited from the huge star system and almost inexhaustible resources, and in just a few thousand years, it developed extremely developed science and technology, and had a lot of understanding of the laws of the universe.

What's more, this intelligent civilization has come to realize that their splendor is only a flash in the pan.

That is, the star system they are in, because the mass of the main star is too large, the life span is extremely short, and their civilization will die out with the main star.

The severe existential crisis forced this intelligent civilization to quickly embark on the road of external expansion.

It's just that that's not all.

After more in-depth investigation and research of the star system, the intelligent civilization realized that their home was not a natural occurrence, but was created by a powerful being. In other words, this intelligent civilization was aware of the existence of the Creator a long time ago.

What happened next is not much of a secret.

Like the invaders who invaded human civilization in the first place, this powerful intelligent civilization knows that no matter how powerful they are, they can never be the opponent of the creator. More importantly, the star system they are in is actually a closed micro-universe, and the cosmic space they see is just a virtual illusion. Whether they are destroyed by the Creator or with the main star, if they can't escape this micro-universe and find a new home, the outcome will be the same, and it will be a matter of not too long before they do.

As a result, this intelligent civilization quickly entered the stage of self-evolution, and quickly mastered the art of space.

In order to survive, they must flee, they must conquer other micro-universes, and they must destroy the intelligent civilizations born in other micro-universes.

Prior to Beya's arrival, this intelligent civilization had waged hundreds of wars and conquered hundreds of micro-universes.

Of course, it also wiped out hundreds of intelligent civilizations that were also created by Beya.

Objectively speaking, this intelligent civilization is a very ideal carrier of wisdom, not only has extremely high intelligence, but also entered the stage of self-evolution a long time ago, and also controls enough micro-universes, has a large enough number of individuals, and can carry enough science and technology.

The problem is that this intelligent civilization is not so easy to control.

The point is that they discovered the existence of the creator too early, and regarded the creator as an enemy, even the greatest threat.

With no other choice, Beya can only use this intelligent civilization as a carrier.

The problem is that if she had another choice, Bea would not put her own safety on the basis of a hostile and unyielding intelligent civilization.

As a result, after mastering the technique of transforming stars into carriers of wisdom, Bea did not hesitate to give up this very powerful intelligent civilization, and completely eradicated it, leaving no trace behind, making this intelligent civilization a dust in the universe.

It's just that thousands of star systems obviously need to be enriched with intelligent life.

Even if Bea were the creator, she wouldn't be able to guard more than a thousand star systems alone.

In addition, if Bea wants to increase her strength and gain a higher status in the family, she needs more resources, and she needs an intelligent civilization to mine the resources in the star system. In addition, the strength of the created intelligent civilization is itself a symbol of the strength of the creator.

After learning her lesson, Bea did not let any of the intelligent civilizations grow, but blended the ones that survived.

Of course, of the more than 1,000 star systems created by Beya, the Elam system is the most advantageous.

It can be said that after solving the problem of the longevity of the main star, the value of the Elam galaxy surpassed that of other star systems, and it is natural that it has become the home galaxy of the Elam civilization.

Interestingly, the name "Elam" is derived from the intelligent civilization that was destroyed by Beya.

Perhaps, Bea has already regretted it.

If she hadn't destroyed that powerful intelligent civilization, but had made this intelligent civilization the only one, then her strength might have been even stronger than it is now. The point is that it will take enough time to integrate hundreds of intelligent civilizations and allow the Elamaic civilization to grow and develop. During this period, other creators came to the three-dimensional space one after another, and the basic order of the family in the three-dimensional space was also established. If Bea had made the most of that time, she would have been able to achieve a higher status, at least she would have been on the same level of relationship with Becca as the other members of the Family Council. Unfortunately, she didn't make the most of that time, but wasted it.

Perhaps this is why the Elam civilization was placed on the periphery of the galaxy, rather than in the central region.

It is important to know that after the completion of dimensional reduction, the specific position of each micro-universe is determined, and it is determined by the strength of each creator, that is, the strength of the intelligent civilization created. Only the micro-universe where the most powerful intelligent civilization is located can be arranged in the central region of the galaxy.

The remoteness of the region where human civilization is located is also related to this.

To put it another way, this is also the main reason why Bea allowed the Elam civilization to launch a war of expansion and conquer nearly 4,000 star systems one after another.

She had already missed one chance and clearly didn't want to miss a second one.

If she had a higher status in the family, she wouldn't have to, because as long as she was in the heart of the galaxy, she would have been protected by Becca.

It is important to know that none of the members of the family council in the central region of the galaxy are involved in the war of intelligent civilizations.

The problem is that what Beya did was tantamount to breaking away from Becca's camp and automatically giving up her status as a member of the family council.

Perhaps, Bea hesitated, so the Elam civilization did not launch an expansion war in the first place.

If it weren't for the strong enough Elam civilization, I'm afraid it would have been wiped out by a powerful and intelligent civilization nearby before it embarked on the path of expansion.

Bea took a second chance, but not necessarily made the most of it.
