Chapter 279: Big McGellan
Although only the Berludo civilization of the five founding civilizations has personally experienced what happened at the last cleanup point, the other four founding civilizations do not doubt his description of the cleanup point incident!
Because the current civilization structure of the galaxy is so problematic, it seems that there is an obvious fault line along this point in time 10 million years ago. The phenomenon of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info shows that all existing advanced civilizations have been redeveloped since 10 million years ago, and this one-size-fits-all phenomenon is obviously unreasonable, and it is impossible for a civilization above level 4 to be there 10 million years ago, so the only reasonable explanation is that they were cleaned up.
And as the five founding civilizations, whether it is the Belludo civilization or the Ossdal civilization, or the Silver Dragon Empire, the Yanibel civilization, and the Hals civilization, they all have their own exclusive spheres of influence, although their spheres of influence are not simply dividing the entire galaxy into five, and each civilization masters one piece, but more restrained to master the range of more than a dozen star fields.
But you must know that each star field has at least 100 million stars, in other words, these old powerful civilizations have at least a billion stars under their hands, which is a very vast range.
Moreover, as the only five fifth-level civilizations in the galaxy, the area they master is tantamount to the area with the most abundant resources and the best conditions, and within these areas, it is really a high probability event to find traces of early civilizations, and even the remains of civilizations before the last clean-up point.
Of course, even if it was a powerful civilization before the last clean-up point, not every civilization knew that there was a clean-up point, but from the objective fact that these powerful civilizations themselves existed, it can be inferred how prosperous the galactic civilization was at that time.
Even if they didn't have three thousand or four thousand civilizations like now, there would always be three or four hundred, but why did they suddenly disappear? Bits and pieces of evidence all confirm the existence of clean-up points.
There must be an external force that interferes with the normal reproduction of the galaxy, figuratively speaking, like cutting leeks, harvesting civilization every once in a while.
"By the way, there is a piece of news that you may be able to refer to." The leader of the Berludo civilization suddenly spoke.
"What's the news?"
"Didn't we send a spacecraft to investigate the Big Magellanic System last time, and the latest news has come back."
"How?" All the civilization leaders looked curious.
The Great Magellanic Galaxy is the two closest galaxies around the Milky Way, of which the Large Magellanic Galaxy is slightly closer to the Milky Way, about 160,000 light-years away from us, and the Small Magellanic Galaxy is slightly farther away, about 190,000 light-years, these two small galaxies are companion galaxies of the Milky Way, of which the Large Magellanic Galaxy has a diameter of 21,000 light-years, about one-fifth of the Milky Way, and the number of stars is about one-tenth of the Milky Way, about 10 billion to 20 billion!
It is the fourth largest galaxy in this group of galaxies!
The Covenant has long sent research ships to the Great Magellanic system, with the aim of finding out if the two systems are also affected by the Sweep Point.
"I'm afraid the results of the investigation will disappoint everyone." Belludo's expression showed a solemn expression, "According to the results of the investigation, there is currently only one leading civilization in the Big Magellanic Galaxy that has reached level five, and there are about twenty level four civilizations, but this level five civilization doesn't seem to know the existence of the cleaning point, so although the Big Magellanic Galaxy also has an order framework similar to the Star Alliance, their order is biased towards obedience to the level five civilization, and the entire galaxy order is in a relatively primitive vassal state." ”
"In order not to alarm that fifth-level civilization, we quietly investigated the Big Magellanic galaxy and found that the civilization there also had faults!"
"Does this mean that in the Great Magellanic System, there are also sweep points?" The leader of the Ossdal civilization frowned.
"That's right!"
"That's bad news!" The leader of the Hals civilization said.
"Aren't we lacking a fifth-level civilization, can we involve the fifth-level civilization of the Big Magellanic system?" The leader of the Yanibye civilization said.
"I'm afraid not, the rules of the game require that the sixth fifth-level civilization must be a native civilization of the galaxy!" Berrudo shook his head.
"Isn't this an extra move, why do you have to gather six fifth-level civilizations to open that place!" The leader of the Silver Dragon Empire grumbled dissatisfiedly.
Belludo said: "The founder of that place should be an ancient civilization in the galaxy, this ancient civilization may have left the galaxy, or it may have reached a certain level but is still silently observing the galaxy, I think there must be some kind of struggle between the higher civilizations, and the cleaning point is a by-product of this struggle, and that ancient civilization left a 'legendary space', it is to leave a hope for the galaxy." ”
Then everyone fell silent, and although the rules of the game were not satisfactory, at least there was still hope. And if Belludo's speculation is correct, it means that in this battle of ancient civilizations, the galactic side does not have the advantage, otherwise there would be no need to set up such obstacles.
Of course, it is also possible that this is not the case at all, what leaves hope, what is the struggle between ancient civilizations, that is to replace too much localization complex, perhaps in the eyes of higher civilizations, low civilizations are low civilizations, and there is no need to save them at all.
Leaving that set of rules of the game is just to see the struggle of low-level civilizations in the face of death.
"And what about the Magellanic system?" The leader of the Ossdal civilization asked.
The Small Magellanic Galaxy is also a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, much smaller than the Large Magellanic Galaxy, a dwarf galaxy, and farther away from the Milky Way, the fourth closest neighbor galaxy among the known satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, after the Canis Major, Pegasus dwarf galaxies and the Large Magellanic Galaxy.
The Small Magellanic Galaxy may only have hundreds of millions of stars, making it much less likely to give birth to a powerful civilization.
"As far as we know, there are no fifth-level civilizations in the Magellanic system, they only have six or seven fourth-level civilizations! There are also traces of cleaning points. ”
"It seems that the absence of a dominant civilization is indeed a disaster for a galaxy." Speaking is Alius, the leader of the Anibel civilization, a galaxy does not have an absolutely strong ruler, which means that this galaxy will always be in the stage of competition for hegemony, which is extremely unfavorable to the large-scale reproduction of civilization.
"So the Clean-Up event isn't a phenomenon unique to our galaxy......," the leader of the Hals civilization squeezed his scepter in his hand, his tone a little stunned.
"Yes, we're going to explore the Andromeda Galaxy, a galaxy bigger than the Milky Way. But the size of the Andromeda galaxy also determines that it will have more and stronger civilizations than the Milky Way, it's not that we haven't sent a spaceship to it before, but we haven't heard back, this time anyway, we must send a spacecraft to explore it again! ”
"If possible, we'll connect with the fifth-level civilization there, and then discuss a strategy to deal with the sweepers together!"
"But what should we do if the Andromeda Galaxy doesn't have a clean-up event, or even if the clean-up event that happened in our galaxy is simply the work of a powerful civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy?"
The words of the leader of the Ossdal civilization suddenly fell silent everyone.
Indeed, the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are two galaxies of great size, and the side of the couch does not allow others to snore, and the powerful civilization of the Andromeda Galaxy does have a motive to attack the Milky Way.
Moreover, the huge scale of the Andromeda Galaxy is indeed prone to the existence of a sixth-level civilization, of course, provided that they do not have a clean-up point event there!
If they also have a cleaning point there, then being bigger doesn't mean being more powerful, on the contrary, it will increase the resistance to integration and unification because of the size, and a Andromeda galaxy that has not been integrated may be far more chaotic than the Milky Way!
