Chapter 445: To the Iron and Blood Planet
Sou!!
On the spaceship flying to the Iron Blood Planet, Wang Xu sat in the captain's room, learning how to control the spaceship from Scar.
It was the third day that they had left Earth, and after blowing up the pyramids that day, they did not stay on Earth for long, and soon began to return in a spaceship.
In the past three days, Wang Xu asked Scar a lot of questions, including about the Iron Blood Planet and the spaceship.
Piloting the ship isn't easy, and in safe mode, you can control the ship with commands.
But in some cases, such as plasma storms, cosmic rays, and some special magnetic fields, the main control computer of the spaceship is not reliable, so manually piloting the spacecraft is a compulsory course for cosmic civilization.
Wang Xu has been studying hard these days, and even reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, after all, the opportunity to fly a spaceship is rare.
In the world of black super special police, the man in black has a total of two spaceships in the true sense, which are hidden in the underground space like a baby, and no matter which one is his turn, he can't drive it.
This time, he learned to pilot a spaceship, and if he had the chance, he could return to the world of the Men in Black again to find the surviving earthlings in the universe.
"Our Predator's ships are all from the Locke Federation, a commercial alliance with a large galaxy as its sphere of influence. We serve them as mercenaries, and they arm us with advanced technology, because it is cheap for the Locke Federation to hire us, and it is quite expensive for the Mega Rocks to go to war. ”
Scar explains the history of the Predator Planet, a race of Predators that is very similar to the Spartans.
Their newborns will be with their parents for only 6 years after they are born, and then they will go to the barracks to learn combat skills.
From survival in the wilderness, hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons, to the application of various energy weapons, flying spaceships, and learning projects, there are all kinds of learning projects.
The Predator's society is subject to military control, they have no merchants, no farmers, no artists, not even scientists, some are just warriors.
This is a very deformed society, because in the process of development, the Predators who worship combat have found that they can live well as long as they can fight.
In the beginning, before the Predators entered the interstellar age, they usually existed as gladiators, or bodyguards of intelligent beings.
Later, with the rise of the Locke Federation, the Mega Man discovered the predator's warlike, loyal, honor-oriented, death-defying nature.
So under the impetus of the Locke Federation, the Predator bid farewell to the agrarian society and stepped onto the interstellar stage, becoming the number one fighter of the Locke Federation with a fighting style that is not afraid of death, as well as a brave mercenary group in the universe.
Today, the Iron Bloods have their own place in the universe.
They themselves own 100 planets and trillions of Predators, active at the forefront of the war.
In the wars between many cosmic civilizations, one of the most interesting things will be found on both sides, that is, the two sides will put their warships out for a look.
Hey, you hired the Iron Mercenary to fight, and what a coincidence, I also invited the Iron Mercenary.
Because of the low price and cost-effective relationship between the Predator's hire, many high-level civilizations invade low-level civilizations, and let them take the lead.
Over time, the Predator became synonymous with titles such as butcher, executioner, mercenary, and starhunter, and became so famous that on some planets it could stop children crying at night.
"Scar, can you tell me about your father?" Sighing at the social deconstruction of the iron-blooded clan, Wang Xu asked the topic he was most concerned about.
Scar knew everything, this young Predator had already regarded Wang Xu, who had followed him into the pyramid and given him a lot of help, as a friend: "My father is an elder, elder is a title, only the strongest and most respected Predator can pass the difficult task and become the elder of the Predator."
Three hundred elders formed the Council of Elders, assisting the leader to rule the Iron Blood. My father was not ranked high in the Council of Elders, and was in charge of ruling Planet 80, which was a very barren planet with a population of only 200 billion people, about fifty times the size of Earth. ”
"Fifty times, 200 billion people, the position of the planet's archon, this is still not a high ranking?" Wang Xu is not an iron-blooded clan, he only feels that the area of fifty times and the number of 200 billion people have reached countless times that of the earth.
Scar didn't look back, but explained: "The Planet Archon, can only stay inside the planet, and is not allowed to go out to fight, which is not a good thing for the Predator. ”
Predators are proud of honor and war as their greatest hobby, and are a group of natural war maniacs.
For earthlings, the position of planetary archon is a dream, and for the Predators, they want to lead the Predator fleet, invade one planet after another, and decorate their rooms with enemy heads.
Under normal circumstances, the people who serve as consuls are those who are old and weak, and can no longer fight.
Scar's father, who was not yet a hundred years old and was in the prime of life among the Predators, sat in the position of consul so early, and was deprived of the right to enjoy the hunt, and at first glance he knew that he was ostracized.
"It's really a different social structure, and there is a different way of thinking from people, these iron-blooded people's heads are so big, and they are really full of muscles."
Wang Xu's heart was full of malice, if he was a planetary archon, he governed a planet with an area fifty times the size of the earth and a population of up to 200 billion, he would not be sad all day long.
When the time comes, it is not necessary to make a fortune in the east and a sum in the west, but to get the wind and rain.
Look at Scar's second generation of rights, if Wang Xu hadn't appeared, according to the plot in the movie, he and the other two Predators would have died on Earth.
If this is replaced by an earthling, with such a background and a father, there are a few who can fight to the death, and the drunken dream of being drunk and drunk would have died.
"Scar, what's the matter with your daddy?"
"I'm on the wrong side, my father is the younger brother of the current leader, and it turns out that the current leader is on top, otherwise he is at least in charge of one of the ten major fleets, not to mention the main commander, the deputy commander is at least no problem."
Scar said it lightly, but Wang Xu could hear the taste of swords and swords from his tone.
From ancient times to the present, the conflict for power and position has not been eliminated, even if the iron-blooded clan implements militarized management, but the struggle between the manager and the managed will not end.
Wang Xu didn't ask any more, because if he asked any further, he would have to ask some embarrassing questions.
Thinking about it, Scar doesn't want to say how his father stood in the wrong line, and how he was punished and excluded, after all, this is not a glorious thing.
"In two days, the ship will enter the wormhole closest to us and complete the space jump in three months. Space jumping doesn't feel very good, I suggest you go to the sleeping chamber to rest, and when you wake up again, we'll be on Predator 80. Scar sat on the cockpit of the spaceship, looked at the computer control screen in front of him, and said to Wang Xu without looking back.
Wang Xu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Can't your spaceship open the wormhole by itself and complete the space jump?" ”
"How is it possible to complete the space jump by yourself, the wormhole is a singularity in the universe, if you rely on yourself to open the singularity, it is not enough to use a galaxy as an energy source." Scar's answer was very different from what Wang Xu knew.
In the world of Black Super Special Police, high-level spaceships can perform space jumps, and it seems that the consumption is not very large.
The world of the Predator can't do this, is it because space technology hasn't broken through, or is there a difference between the two universes.
It should be the latter, I remember that there is a book called the Three-Body Problem, the scientific and technological system in it is very huge, and even the dimensionality reduction strike has appeared, and there is no so-called space jump.
It stands to reason that the kind of weapon that knocks down a galaxy or even a civilization into the dimension is rarely heard of even in the black super special police world, except for the difference between the rules of the universe and the world, Wang Xu can't think of why there is no means of space jumping.
"Is it safe to use wormholes for space jumping?" The technology of the iron-blooded universe is a bit unreliable, which makes Wang Xu faintly worried.
Scar patted the armor on his body and swore solemnly: "I'll do something, don't worry..."
Wang Xu raised his eyes and didn't speak, but silently lit a cigarette and took a puff gently: "Hiss... Whew..."
