Chapter 929: Gifts
Arley opened the exit of the space bridge at the edge of the Acadia system, far away from the home planet of Arcadia, and there were no other stars nearby.
Even at the speed of light, it would take months to reach the home planet of Arcadia.
Time is not a problem, Zhang Xiaogang still needs to let Iskar spread the news in the first star, and he will not rush to start a war, at least in a few months.
It didn't take long for Chu Tianjiang and Ali to come near a giant planet.
The giant planet belongs to Abgadi, and at its outermost, is a gaseous planet with a mass twenty times that of Jupiter. In the orbit of the giant planet, there is a resource extraction base established by the Acadians. It's not very big, and from a distance, it looks like a plate full of food.
Chu Tianjiang noticed that the Arcadians did not have a means of space transportation.
After thinking about it carefully, Chu Tianjiang also understood.
Before entering the stage of self-evolution, the Arcadians had not yet entered the age of space, and they did not even know what the world world outside of the home planet of the Dao was like, and regarded the mother planet as a son who revolved around the priest and the divine mother. Just like the original human beings, I felt that I was a unique being in the universe. After entering the stage of self-evolution, the Arcadians quickly achieved qualitative energy, had the ability to fly out of their home planet on their own, and no longer had strict requirements for the living environment, even if they were exposed to the atmosphere, they could not die, and there was no need to develop space vehicles. For the Acadians, who were highly integrated with the natural environment during the natural evolutionary stage, there may not have been a concept of transportation at all. In the natural evolutionary stage, their main means of transportation is the tamed animals.
While passing by this giant planet, Chu Tianjiang and Ali met the first Acadian.
Of course, this Arcadians did not discover them.
In terms of physical form, the Arcadians are very similar to humans, and to be more precise, to be very similar to the elves that humans have made up. Unlike humans, the Arcadians had a very long tail with a very long strand of hair at the end of the tail.
Obviously, it was not hair, but like the appendix in the human body, a remnant of natural evolution.
This tail is actually something that the Acadians inherited from their ancestors. To put it more bluntly, this tail is the root of the plant life state.
In the natural evolutionary stage, this tail was of great significance to the Acadians. This is the tail that can be used to directly absorb water and various minerals from the soil when necessary, and then transport it to the surface of the body, where it can photosynthesize with the carbon dioxide absorbed by the pigment cells in the skin from the air to produce the nutrients necessary to maintain the claim, so that the Arcadians can survive in the harsh environment. Although in this state, the Acadians will be incapacitated, their intelligence will be reduced, and all their body functions will be greatly reduced, but this will allow the Acadians to survive without eating and wait for the environment to improve. During the dark season, many Acadians rely on this to cope with environmental changes such as reduced sunlight, lower temperatures, and reduced rainfall.
Of course, this is only the Acadians in the natural evolutionary stage.
After entering the stage of self-evolution, the Acadians retained many physical characteristics, just as humans still retained hair, which is no longer valuable and has only aesthetic effects, the Acadians also retained the tail that no longer has a use.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the Acadians, the tail is a symbol of beauty.
With this understanding, Chu Tianjiang and Ali didn't spend much effort before they transformed into the form of Arcadians, with only no obvious gender characteristics.
Although the Acadians have a gender, they do not necessarily retain their gender identity after entering the stage of self-evolution.
Human beings are not retaining gender characteristics, and more and more people tend to be neutral.
Of course, Chu Tianjiang and Ali both put away the star core and replaced it with a body composed of mass energy bodies.
The vast majority of Acadians possess only a body of mass energy, and only a few, the warriors, possess a body made of star cores.
"There's a subspace on him, and it's very large."
Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that he understood what Ali meant. He also noticed that when the Arcadians came out of the resource extraction base, they caused a spatial distortion. This has to do with the subspace he carries, and there must be a lot of mass stored in the subspace.
The two continued on their way, encountering more Acadians as they passed the second giant planet.
At this time, Chu Tianjiang and Ali discovered that the Acadians still retained their gender characteristics, that is, there were obvious differences in the physical forms of the Acadians of the two genders. Men are more burly, women are weaker, and both retain sexual characteristics that are only valuable in the natural evolutionary stage.
In addition, the two made another discovery.
That is, the Arcadians are very restrained in the exploitation of resources in the home system, and the mining of each giant planet is not very large.
Obviously, the Acadians took their living environment very seriously.
The two did not stop, nor did they deliberately dodge.
They are Acadians as they are, and Ali has deliberately kept her feminine features so that they don't look any different from other Acadians. Although the Acadians had the ability to communicate consciously during the natural evolutionary stage, communication was not unlimited, but was determined by individual will. That is, communication can only take place when both parties want to communicate.
As long as Chu Tianjiang and Ali remained "silent", the Arcadians would not be able to discover their true identities.
"Do you feel it?"
"What?"
"Those two stars."
Chu Tianjiang was a little puzzled, he was also observing the two stars. The glow from Abu Gadi is a little lighter, and the light from Zayx is a little deeper. This is determined by the mass of the two stars, i.e. Abgadi has a larger mass so the inner core is hotter and emits more blue light, while Zayx has a lower internal temperature and therefore emits more red light.
It's just that, other than that, Chu Tianjiang didn't feel anything else.
"Didn't feel it at all?"
Chu Tianjiang shook his head, he really didn't understand what Ali meant.
"Star Core."
"What?"
"There are many cores in both stars, and they are two different cores."
"What's so strange about that?"
"Don't you think this is Valentine's gift to the Arcadians?"
Chu Tianjiang didn't answer, he really didn't understand.
"The radiation produced by two different star nuclei is completely different, and that's why Arcadians are so special."
"You're saying that Valentine created the Acadians with that?"
Ali nodded and said, "It's not just the Acadians, it's the entire Acadia system, and the Acadians are nothing more than a product of this special environment. ”
"There's nothing strange about that."
"Where did the second type of core come from?"
Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.
"Before the dimensionality reduction, we can all obtain star cores, or use our abilities to create star cores in the microuniverse, but I can only make one kind of star core. At that time, Valentine's position was below mine, and it was obviously impossible for him to have the ability to create a second type of star core. ”
"Someone to help him?"
"He has three parents, two of whom are from the Punzhi family."
"You mean, he took refuge in the Punzhi family before he was reduced?"
"He said that he was not taking refuge, he just accepted the help of his parents. In the four-dimensional universe, the relationship between the Becca family and the side branch family is not as it is now, at least for our enemies, they will not clearly distinguish our relationship, and will treat us as one family. ”
"So, Valentine is lucky."
"Yes, he is lucky to have the help of three of his parents, and he has obtained the qualification to reduce the dimension first."
"Ali, luck doesn't make all the difference. Besides, after coming to the three-dimensional universe, all family members are on the same starting line. Perhaps, Valentine has made more preparations for this survival race, but that doesn't mean he will be the last winner. ”
Ali smiled, as if he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.
"As you can see, the Arcadian civilization is not quite what we expected. Maybe this war is not as difficult as we think. ”
"I hope so."
"You have to believe that we can win. If we don't even have the confidence to win, then we will not be able to defeat an enemy stronger than us in any case. ”
Ali sighed and didn't answer.
Chu Tianjiang didn't say anything more, after all, he and Ali were together, and they had to face challenges together, no matter how much they said, it was better to do things in a down-to-earth manner.
In the Arcadia system, there is no space transportation equipment and no space control.
Anyone is free to move and go wherever they want, but they need to follow some rules and maintain a common living space.
The closer you get to Abugadi, the more Acadians you will encounter.
When they were about to arrive at Arcadia, Chu Tianjiang and Ali met more Arcadians, and the two even felt that all Arcadians were working.
Obviously, this is not quite the same as what they know about the Acadians.
For an intelligent civilization with plant characteristics and close integration with the natural world, it is clear that labor is not the main means of survival. During the natural evolutionary stage, the Arcadians worked hardly at all, and the few jobs they did were related to reproduction rather than their own survival. Even when they weren't working, the Acadians survived by making their own nutrients or by getting food from nature.
Obviously, the busy scene in front of you has nothing to do with the cultural traditions of the Acadians.
There was only one reason for so many Acadians to work: war.
