Chapter 906: Temptation
"This time, we have chosen the Chalunt civilization in the home galaxy one hundred and fifty light-years away from the second home." Zhang Xiaogang drew up a detailed operational plan, and also deliberately made a galaxy map in order to introduce the combat operations in more detail. "This is an intelligent civilization with ten star systems, with a level of technology similar to ours, and a development process similar to ours, which can be regarded as a weighty opponent."
Zhang Xiaogang's introduction was very detailed, and Chu Tianjiang and the others also listened very carefully.
The star system born from the Charund civilization is similar to the solar system, although it is more complex than the solar system, but there is no essential difference.
The point is that the Charent civilization is the fourth intelligent civilization in this star system, and the three intelligent civilizations before this have all been extinct, and the planets that gave birth to these three intelligent civilizations have also been completely destroyed and become an asteroid belt. In fact, this is also the biggest feature of the star system where the Charent civilization is located, that is, in the life belt of this star, there are a total of six solid planets similar to the earth, three of which have been shattered, and among the remaining three planets, two planets have complex orbits, that is, the centrifugal angle of the orbit is relatively large, one of them is only one-third of the time in the life belt, and the other is only two-thirds, and there is no basic environment suitable for the birth of high-level intelligent civilization.
The remaining planet is the home planet of the Charent civilization.
The planet is about the size of the Earth, but it has twice the mass of the Earth, which means that the gravitational field is twice as strong as the Earth. This is a relatively dry planet, with less than 50 percent of the planet's surface covered by oceans, and the positive changes in the oceans are very noticeable.
Of course, these are not the most peculiar places.
This planet has a moon with a mass equivalent to one-third of it!
Strictly speaking, this is no longer the relationship between planets and moons, but a twin planetary system, that is, the interaction of two stars is very obvious.
The existence of this moon makes the orbit of the planet itself very complicated.
More interestingly, the orbital period of the moon coincides with that of the planet.
As a result, there are only two seasons at any location on the planet, summer and winter, and no spring and autumn. At the turn of summer and winter every year, the temperature changes very suddenly, and can warm up by tens of degrees or cool down by tens of degrees in a few days.
In fact, it is also a key factor in the obvious seasonal changes in the ocean.
In summer, due to high temperatures, abundant water vapor content in the atmosphere, and high evaporation of the oceans, the sea area shrinks rapidly, and in the most extreme cases, it can shrink by about 10 percent. In winter, the opposite is true, and the area of the ocean expands rapidly.
Such a climatic environment has formed a special ecological environment at the junction of land and sea on the planet.
For life produced by natural evolution, environmental changes are the most critical factor affecting evolution, and they directly determine the intelligence level of life. For any kind of life, in order to survive in a harsh environment, the most important thing is highly developed intelligence.
The Charlunt civilization was born in this harsh environment.
In many ways, the Charent civilization is very similar to humans, but there is one thing that is very different, and that is that the Charent civilization was an amphibious creature during its natural evolutionary stage. In other words, the Charent civilization evolved from amphibians, and its initial survival was in the coastal areas of the planetary continent, which is also the area with the most serious environmental changes on the planet, so the Charent civilization has achieved extremely brilliant results in the natural evolution stage, and has evolved in two completely different directions from the beginning. One is to return to the sea and become a marine creature. The second is to get on land and become a land creature. In the course of their evolution, these two different civilizations have had many wars. It was not until the arrival of the intelligent individuals of the great civilization that the civil war of the civilization ended, and it was finally united.
Obviously, the war between two different groups played a crucial role in promoting the progress of civilization.
Soon after entering the industrial age, the Chalens civilization began to explore space beyond the atmosphere, and both populations attached great importance to space technology.
There is no way to do this, both populations need to expand their living space.
It's just that the Charund civilization has encountered a big trouble, that is, the planet they are on is orbiting exactly between two asteroid belts. Although the two populations of the Charund civilization have enough knowledge of the stars, they know the existence of the life belt of the Dao, and they also know that there are two planets in the vicinity of the life belt, and they also know that there is an environment for them to live on these two planets. Although it is a very harsh environment, it is superior to other stars, and at least it can be modified to make it suitable for survival.
In the natural evolution stage, the Chalunt civilization intends to transform these two planets.
At that time, some scientists of the Charund civilization also proposed that the larger stars in the asteroid belt could be used to change the orbits of the two planets by impact, so as to change the ecological environment of the two planets and make the period become the residence of the Charunds.
It's just that such a scientific assumption has never been implemented.
The reason is very simple, for the intelligent civilization in the natural stage of evolution, there is simply not enough scientific and technological power to push large stars, and it is impossible to change the orbits of the two planets. Even with this ability, it would take enough time for the two planets to produce a suitable ecological environment, and it was obviously impossible for the two populations of the Charent civilization to use the strength of the entire race for the welfare of millions of years from now.
Of course, this did not prevent the two populations from exploring other planets.
After solving the problem of passing through the asteroid belt, the two populations embarked on the road of foreign colonization almost simultaneously, establishing colonies on two planets one after another. Due to environmental constraints, these colonies were small in size and had their main purpose for scientific research. Until the arrival of the intelligent individuals of the great civilization, the Charent civilization did not develop large-scale settlements on other planets.
The arrival of the intelligent individual of the great civilization also means that self-evolution begins here.
In a sense, it is self-evolution that has eliminated the differences between the two populations, and made the two populations realize that even though their physical forms are very different, their living habits are completely different, and their values and ideologies are inherently contradictory, they have the same ancestors, their genetic similarity is as high as 97%, and they are two populations born of the same civilization in different environments.
It was also from this time that the Charant civilization entered a stage of rapid development.
In just a short period of time, the Charund civilization has mastered the science and technology provided by the creator, leaving its footprints on all the large stars in the star system. Immediately afterward, the Charent civilization became the master of the other nine star systems as the lucky ones chosen by the creators.
In the stage of self-evolution, the Chalunt civilization showed strong potential for development.
The key is that when two populations reproduce, they have an innate advantage, that is, they can have the advantage of both populations when their offspring are reproduced.
From a cultural and ideological point of view, it is equivalent to the descendants of the birth of two civilizations.
Obviously, this is a very obvious advantage, because it is impossible for a single group of civilizations like humans to have such conditions.
If it weren't for the general maintenance of peace, the Charent civilization would have embarked on the road of external expansion long ago.
After the completion of the dimensionality reduction, the number of individuals in the Charent civilization has grown rapidly from less than 100 billion to 15 trillion, and it is still increasing at an alarming rate. According to Zhang Xiaogang's estimate, it will only take two hundred years at most, and the current ten star systems will not be able to accommodate the Charunt civilization. Unless there is a limit on the number of individuals, the Chalunt civilization will definitely begin to expand externally for the sake of new individuals.
Obviously, human civilization will certainly be a victim.
You must know that among the neighbors of the Charent civilization, the human civilization is not the most powerful, but it definitely has the most star systems. The point is that when Chu Tianjiang won the primary elimination round, Ali was rewarded and got more than a hundred star systems. In two hundred years, human civilization will obviously not be able to fill these star systems, and some of them are prepared by Ali for her sister and will not be handed over to human civilization. As long as the Charent civilization embarks on the road of external expansion, the first thing to focus on will definitely be the fat but not strong human civilization.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiaogang chose the Chalunt civilization.
"Its creator is Belica."
Hearing Ali's words, everyone's eyes fell on her. Chu Tianjiang was even more surprised, because according to his understanding of the family, the family members whose name was first pronounced "Bei" were all related to Beka, and most of them were direct descendants of Beka.
"He's Beka's grandson, and of course Becca has a lot of grandchildren."
"You mean, he has a high status in the family?"
"It's not very tall, but it's definitely taller than me, after all, he's Beka's grandson. Of course, Becca has too many grandchildren, and not every one of them has a high status. Relatively speaking, his status is not very high, and he is not valued by Becca, maybe Becca doesn't know him at all. ”
"So, we should have no problem with him?"
Ali smiled reluctantly and said, "In order to keep his position, Becca can sacrifice everything, even the eldest son he cares about the most. ”
Chu Tianjiang also smiled reluctantly and turned his gaze to Zhang Xiaogang.
"In that case, let's test Becca with this Belica. If Becca hadn't stepped in to stop it, we would have been able to deal with other intelligent civilizations in the vicinity with confidence. ”
"The problem is, he's not necessarily going to surrender like Kate."
"We don't have to think about it for a while, not everyone will surrender anyway."
