The Apollo civilization, a fourth-level civilization with a fairly long history, originated from a hot and humid ocean planet.

The Ocean Planet is recognized as the most difficult starting point for the development of science and technology in the Milky Way.

Although the notorious fifth-level civilization "Green Star Civilization" was once born in this type of ocean planet, there is only one Green Star civilization in the long history of the galaxy. Of the 10,000 ocean planets, 9,999 are indigenous creatures or lower creatures similar to fish.

There is a small chance that these biomes will be sapient, just like dolphins on Earth have a certain amount of intelligence, and if they are given more time, they may not be able to become more intelligent.

However, these intelligent beings are in the ocean, and it is difficult for them to develop serious science and technology, and naturally they cannot get out of their own planet.

Because planets of this kind usually have oceans hundreds of kilometers deep!

In the absence of any land, the ocean planet is extremely short of metals and does not have a dry enough environment to light a fire. It is even less likely that these beings will dive hundreds of kilometers to the bottom of the ocean to mine.

In this case, it is very difficult to set up a regular tech tree.

Only the naturally powerful species of the Green Star Civilization, relying on its own biosmelting methods, can extract the elements in the seawater and develop a complete set of biotechnology trees, so that they can get out of their own planet.

But looking at the entire galaxy, there is only one Green Star civilization. More ocean races can't evolve this ability, and the path of evolution often goes and there is no return, and if you choose the wrong path at the beginning, you will never be able to overturn it and start over. The purpose of evolution is to survive, not to develop technology.

The reason why the Apollo civilization has developed to this extent is because they were inspired by other interstellar civilizations in a very distant time!

This kind of inspiration and even hand-in-hand education and guidance went all the way to the interstellar era, and then the Apollo civilization successfully became a subsidiary civilization of the suzerainty civilization.

There are many interstellar alliances, all of which came into being in this way.

Some fourth-level civilizations have such a unique preference, when they choose the "civilization goal", they will use curvature technology, traverse the planet, obtain more social knowledge, and then try to cultivate some indigenous civilizations with particularly high race values to help themselves.

Including the three major forces around the Dyson Sphere, the Edifiers, Ereda, etc., many of them have cultivated their own subordinate forces, and then gradually developed into a multiracial grand league.

These are things that humans have never experienced, and it is difficult to understand.

After all, human beings do not have such leisure and elegance to do this kind of thing, and the time for new human beings to step into the starry sky is still short, and it is too late for their own development.

The Apollo civilization can be regarded as a species with a very high race value.

First of all, this species is very intelligent, and the average intelligence is around 120 without a good education, which is indeed a very intelligent species.

Secondly, they have a long innate lifespan, and even without the blessing of technology, they can easily survive for five hundred years. With life extension technology, two or three thousand years are not a problem.

They have flexible tentacles and can easily pick up filaments thinner than a human hair, making them very good workers.

Plus, these guys are naturally very patient and good at some delicate and boring work.

Such a race value, in intelligent life, can be regarded as one in a thousand or even one in a thousand!

The individuals of the Apollo civilization looked strange, looking a bit like a squid, but they had a spine inside their bodies, which was able to support the complex movements of the body and was also able to adapt to life on land to a certain extent.

……

The interior of this battle star is full of water, and there are many large squid bathing in the room, for them, bathing is the best form of entertainment. There are also some working squid, wearing power armor that is soaked in liquid so that the whole skin does not dry out too much.

In one of the large conference rooms of the planetary fortress, several squid were bathing and discussing......

"Sir! Our 'Anubis Planetary Fortress', which is expected to arrive at the target area for the seventeenth time in astronomical time JHKLKH**, please indicate! ”

"Now that you've arrived, let's move on."

"It doesn't seem to make much sense to go on like this, Al, what do you think?"

"Our soldiers are already complaining, over there...... And began to urge, let's really not be able to withdraw, before we cause damage......"

A couple of big squid are discussing the current form, the damned new human civilization isn't here yet, and this situation is beyond their expectations!

Because in their impression, the new human civilization is a "mouth cannon civilization", and even the territory of the Dyson ball was robbed by a third-level civilization, and it was just a few mouth cannons.

That's why they came up with the idea of snatching the battle star.

yes, what if you grab a battle star, it's not obedient!

But now it's a bit difficult to ride a tiger, it's not a fight, and it's not a retreat.

"Once withdrawn, although the entire civilization has nothing to lose, our position is finished! We will be spat on by the people and step down! ”

"Then just ...... Kill them! A big squid's dark eyes flashed fiercely.

"No way!"

"Even if we can annihilate each other, what can we gain? In addition to getting a broken and broken star...... And then what? If there are too many losses, we will still step down......"

"Yes, it's not the time for the final showdown......"

They have all observed the flashes of the antimatter weapon "Planet Buster", and have made a series of evaluations of the power of this superweapon.

One of the experts said: "Just a bluff weapon...... How many of these super bombs will they be able to come up with? Do you really think that antimatter is a cheap consumable? ”

"But as long as this weapon exceeds our expectations, then, our losses will become unbearable."

"If the loss is too great, we will lose our current position!"

Several large squid are arguing over this.

It's annoying, it's really annoying, the current situation is like a thick fog, and it's hard to find a way forward.

Since the Apollo civilization was completely forcibly supported by foreign interstellar civilizations, it did not have much of its own ideology and culture. Their political system was even maintained in a fairly primitive feudal era, with nobles and commoners.

These large squid were the highest nobles of the Apollo civilization, equivalent to the archons of the Athenian era of mankind.

The social system is simply capitalism, and then it is covered up under the banner of "liberal politics". Naturally, such a form of government does not have a high degree of cohesion.

Their position is not precarious, and the huge productive forces cover up a part of the class contradictions, which does not mean that there are no contradictions. There are a lot of squid staring at them, hoping that they will make a mistake!

The development of the sprouts has made the foundation of the entire civilization unstable, and all science and technology and culture are foreign. The suzerainty civilization controls the culture of the entire civilization and also controls the hearts of the people.

The most important thing is that the Apollo civilization is still in a state of fragmentation!

This civilization has had several different political forces since ancient times, hostile to each other and full of hatred.
