Chapter 14: A Prosperous Galaxy
"Astral Merchant?" Su Ziyu's expression was slightly surprised.
Jane recalled it carefully and said softly, "It should be called that, right?" Occasionally, we can connect to merchant ships passing near this planet via a signal, but they are also called by a variety of names, some claiming to be interstellar merchants, some claiming to be ronin traders, and some calling themselves trade unions. ”
"The one who sold us the game pod claimed to be an astral merchant."
"They also sold us a batch of statues, which were said to be used to calm the mind."
That's how those statues came about.
Su Ziyu nodded slightly and asked, "What are they selling?" ”
Jane thought for a moment and said, "It's all weird stuff anyway. There was also the Staff of Mind, but because it was too expensive, the rebels eventually gave up. ”
"Their civilization seems to have developed a technology called magic."
"These merchants are tracking and collecting information related to the Chaos Demons, and if there is specific information, you can exchange it for a lot of good things from them."
It's really a merchant on the magic side.
No wonder there was an enchanted aura on those statues, Su Ziyu said softly: "Tell me carefully." ”
"I don't know the specifics." Jane's memory seemed to be rather ordinary, and she carefully recalled, "The average interstellar merchant signal can only be connected once a year or two. They will not descend on this planet, but will directly launch supplies in the form of an air drop pod. ”
"It's easier to come across trade groups, they come every other year."
"Demonic words."
"I don't know."
"No one has seen it here yet, only some rumors that it was said to have escaped from a place called the Chaos Void."
"Before the empire decided to ascend, there were still some xenos on this planet."
"Then they all disappeared."
This crystal wall system is even bigger than Su Ziyu imagined, not only a civilization with a technological side and a psionic side, but today he actually learned from Jane's mouth about the civilization on the magic side, and it is still a civilization on the magic side that has entered the interstellar era.
The Astral Merchant is the name used by the Interstellar Merchant on the magic side.
Jane seemed to open the conversation, and seeing that Su Ziyu was very interested in this information, she talked about her own personal experience or hearsay.
In this universe.
Human beings are not the only advanced intelligent civilization, in addition to the ancient empires established by human beings, that is, the legendary 'lost empire', there are some other advanced civilizations established by other races in ancient times. Much of this information was lost after the failure of the Empire's psionic ascension, or perhaps because the xenothreat had been wiped out by the powerful empires of the early days, and ordinary people knew little about it.
Jane gave a little bit of information she knew, such as a race called the Elvens, who were born with powerful psionic abilities and had built empires across many galaxies, but were outright destroyed.
Thousands of years ago, there were traces of spirit activity on this planet, but all of them have since disappeared.
In addition, the merchants of the Spirit Race sometimes refer to themselves as the Astral Merchant.
Then there are the Orcs, a race that likes to roar 'Orc', extremely violent, known as the Greenskin Butcher, with a strong ability to reproduce and survive, which can be encountered in interstellar marauders, but very few on this planet.
The Empire had fought with them in the early days, and had not reappeared after one defeat.
Maybe they don't like the planet either.
Xenos were only active thousands of years ago, and after the Psychic Whispers erupted, it seemed to be a forbidden area, and it was almost impossible to encounter these xenomorphs again.
Demons are only legends.
It is said that the first emperor of the empire once captured a powerful demon, but thousands of years have passed now, and no one can confirm the authenticity of the news.
"Tell me about the Lost Empire." Su Ziyu asked curiously.
"Lost Empire?" Jane's face showed a hint of longing, and she said slowly: "The legend says that it is an extremely great and brilliant civilization, and it is a truly high civilization. ”
"The Lost Empire was once the ruler of the entire galaxy."
"The Empire has a footprint on all planets, and even there are colonies beyond the galaxy."
"But then the empire suddenly collapsed."
"No one knows why, people can only dig up ancient ruins to find some clues, and we humans are basically the remnants of an ancient lost empire."
"It is said that there are heirs to the Lost Empire in some distant galaxies."
"But we're definitely not going to meet it."
It's not early.
Jane looked at the wall clock outside and smiled, "There are some new dishes tonight, you should like it." ”
"Let's go have a bite to eat?"
Su Ziyu looked at the time and nodded, "Okay." ”
Living underground doesn't have a concept of time, but I didn't expect him to just go around the game and it's already dinner time.
There are a lot more people in the restaurant now.
In fact, there are less than 1,000 combat members in the rebels, and more than 10,000 people in the entire underground base provide logistics services for them, and those who are eligible to enter the restaurant should be official members, most of them are soldiers, with fierce expressions, scars on their bodies, and have undergone bionic and mechanical transformations.
In addition, the people who can enter the restaurant to eat are some technicians, and the two people who pass by next to Suziyu are also discussing whether it is better to grow potatoes or something else while eating.
Many people have already said that they vomited after eating potatoes.
The staple of the evening was still potatoes, but with a little more variety, mashed potatoes with chickpeas and fried strips of meat, and something that appeared to be ketchup.
Eaten.
Jane took Su Ziyu around the entire base, the energy core of the underground base is the nuclear fusion core, a controllable nuclear fusion technology, more advanced than the wasteland world, but because of the technological fault, they seem to be only used for energy. Much of the Resistance's technology was stolen from the Empire, and there were very few researchers in the entire underground base, and their medical beds were marked with the Insignia of the Empire.
