The Thorne system is huge, but it's also chaotic.

More than 1,000 years ago, before the Human Legion crossed the Greenwich Meteorite Belt and entered the North Alpha System, the Thorne System was one of the most prosperous star systems in the vicinity. In this huge star system, there are more than a dozen planets suitable for silicon-based creatures, as well as a large number of resource-rich planets. At its peak, this star system was inhabited by "silicon people" from hundreds of races, and the resources produced were exported to hundreds of star systems.

The war a thousand years ago not only ended the prosperity of the Thorne system, but also changed the fate of hundreds of billions of silicon people.

Although the Thorne system was not attacked during the Battle of Dawn of Peace, before the Human Legion could enter the Northern Alpha system, the Emperor decided to use a defensive tactic of fortified walls and clear fields, destroying all the star systems within a hundred light-years of the "Kuhn-Barrion Fortress". As a result, within a very short period of time, the silicon people in these star systems were forced to leave their homes and travel to neighboring star systems.

At that time, hundreds of billions of silicon people entered the Thorne system, almost ten times more than the original inhabitants.

Obviously, even if the Thorne system has more than a dozen planets with suitable environments and many resources, it will not be able to support so many silicon people.

Actually, this is just the beginning.

Although the Fifth Greenwich War was officially over shortly after the Battle of Dawn of Peace ended, hundreds of star systems near the fortress had been destroyed, and even the Emperor of War could not restore them to their original state. In addition, the Silicon Alliance is made up of various populations, each of which has its own home and regards it as everything. In other words, no population wants to share its home with other populations. With the Emperor of War presiding over the overall situation, the problem is not serious. After all, the war kings of various populations did not dare to go against the wishes of the war emperors. The problem is that soon after the end of the war, the War Emperor disappeared, and it was the top War King who took over the Silicon Charm Alliance. Obviously, the top war kings do not have the prestige of the war emperor, so it is impossible to make all the war kings obey their orders like the war emperor. The result is: Refugees who were displaced to the Thorne system during the war have not been properly accommodated. While some of the refugees wanted to leave the Thorne system, most of them had nowhere to go. Obviously, the Thorne system doesn't have enough resources to sustain hundreds of billions of silicons. Just a few hundred years later, the Thorne system was depleted of resources.

The current Thorne galaxy no longer has the prosperous scene of more than a thousand years ago.

More than a dozen planets with suitable environments have been devastated, while several giant planets have been overexploited, two of which have shrunk severely. In addition, several resource-based planets have been wiped out due to overexploitation, shattering into countless small celestial bodies after the gravitational field collapsed.

Measured by the survival standard of silicon-based organisms. It's a barren star system with little room for silicon-based creatures to survive.

It's just that it's not deserted.

On the more than a dozen highly exploited planets, there are still some silicon people who have survived tenaciously. It's just that not on the ground, but underground. Because the resources on the planets have long been exploited, even the resources in the earth's core, so the cores of these planets have long been cooled. The geomagnetic field also disappears. Without the protection of the geomagnetic field, it is impossible to resist stellar storms from main-sequence stars. Not only will the planet's atmosphere be wiped out, but anything exposed to the surface will be destroyed, and no living thing will survive a stellar storm. Only by hiding underground can the earth's crust resist stellar storms and avoid the rapid loss of heat.

You know, on a planet whose core has cooled, heat energy is the most valuable.

This is especially true for silicon-based organisms.

In fact. The key to surviving these silicon people in this barren land is not to live underground, but to the Primordial Energy, the large Primordial Energy Converters in these planets.

After Kuria arrived, he gave Yang Yi a detailed introduction to the situation in the Thorne system. Especially the case of those planets.

Because of the far outpopulation that the environment could tolerate, and the devastating overexploitation of resources, Kutum abandoned the Thorne system hundreds of years ago. The problem is that even if Kutum is a top war king, he can't convince his war king to accept the inhabitants of the Thorne system. The point is that of the hundreds of billions of silicons in the Thorne system, about half, or about 300 billion, lost all their homes in the Fifth Greenwich War. Clearly, other races are clearly reluctant to accept alien war refugees. Besides, there are great differences between different races in terms of living habits and survival methods, and even the top war kings cannot allow different races to coexist peacefully.

With no other choice, Kutum had no choice but to spend a lot of resources to transform the Thorne system, to be precise, the dozen or so planets inhabited by silicon people.

In fact, the transformation method is very simple.

First of all, the planets are hollowed out, leaving only tens of kilometers of crust thick, so as to obtain the resources in the planet's mantle and core, and these resources are enough to allow the silicon people on these planets to survive for thousands of years. The next step is to provide this completely closed world with a source of energy that can continue to work stably, that is, a large primordial energy converter placed in the center of the planet. Because the universe is full of primordial energy, as long as the primordial energy converter is still running, it will continue to provide energy for this closed world, such as maintaining a high enough temperature. As for the other resources needed for silicon life to thrive, that is a matter of thousands of years, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

To put it bluntly, no one believes that the silicon people in the Thorne system can survive for thousands of years.

Don't forget, the Thorne system is not far from the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, and as long as war breaks out again, these peacetime problems will not be a problem. Even if the Galactic Alliance's armies didn't fight, Kutum would be able to solve the problem of overpopulation by recruiting troops in the Thorne system. In fact, Kutum did the same, that is, in the army of Silicon Phantom who invaded the Southern Alpha System, one-third of the Silicon Phantom warriors came from the Thorne system. If Kutum hadn't died in battle, he would have recruited troops in the Thorne system after he had withdrawn. As long as the war continues, it won't be long before most of the inhabitants of the Thorne system will become warriors in the Silicon Legion.

It's just that Kutum didn't make it back to the Northern Alpha system alive.

In Curia's words, because no Warlord can solve the problems of the Thorne system and cannot provide the necessary survival resources for the residents here, after the Silicon Phantom army withdrew, no Warlord came to take over the Thorne system, but only came here from time to time to recruit troops.

Arguably, recruiting Silicon Warriors in the Thorne system is the least costly, as the inhabitants of the region believe that joining the Silicon Legion is the best way to leave this barren land. Even if you don't make a contribution to the war and don't become a general, you can still gain a foothold in other star systems in the future.

It's just that for the vast majority of Silicon Warriors, this is a dream, because less than one-tenth of Silicon Warriors can survive to the end of the war.

"Now, how many inhabitants are there in the Thorne system?"

"I don't know, but it certainly won't be much." Kuria paused for a moment before he said, "Before we retreat, Kutum himself came here to recruit troops. As far as I know, at least thirty million Silicons have joined the Legion. Although we withdrew, the war was not over, and the legions were not disbanded. Since then, many war kings have come here to recruit soldiers, and even if there are not as many silicon people as before, there will not be much less. The point is that all the people who join the Silicon Charm Army are adults, strong and vigorous Silicon people. Even if not all of them apply, the rest are mainly underage and adult silicon people who are physically unqualified. ”

Yang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Curia meant.

"Also, when it came to settling the refugees in the Thorne system, Kutum adopted a separate population autonomy approach. The four largest populations each received a planet, while dozens of others settled on other planets, each with a self-governing territory of its own. According to Kutum's arrangement, these races that have lost their homes have a high degree of autonomy, but only autonomy. To put it simply, all races can only manage their own affairs. Because these races do not have homes, Kutum did not appoint a war king, but was directly led by him. In fact, Kutum's main purpose is to control these races and recruit fighters from them. ”

"So, which planet has the most population?"

"Vulcan." Curia pointed out the gray planet on the star map.

In fact, this planet was originally red, and it can be said that it is the most beautiful planet in the Thorne system, and it was also the most inhabited planet at one time. Only now, the planet has completely changed, not only the ocean of magma flowing on the surface of the planet has long been cooled and solidified, but even the interior of the planet has been completely hollowed out.

"The people who live here are the Dragon's Breath Clan, a race with a strong ability to reproduce and a strong vitality. Before the outbreak of the war, there were about a billion inhabitants. It's just that as far as I know, there are less than 500 million inhabitants now, and most of them are juveniles, and there are less than a million adult dragons who are truly combative. Kuria let out a long sigh and said, "In addition to Kutum, and us war kings, Lombardo and other top war kings have also been here. Obviously, the top war kings are more appealing. After Kutum is finished, we can't compete with the top kings. Also, don't underestimate the strength of the Dragon's Breath Clan. If it weren't for the attempt to occupy Kutum's jurisdiction, I'm afraid those top war kings would have destroyed Vulcan a long time ago. ”

"Destroy?"

Kuria let out a long sigh and said, "The Dragon's Breath is a race known for its attacks, and Kutum has also specially formed several Dragon's Breath Clan legions, and they are the main legions, ready to be used to attack the home system. It's a pity that before the Dragon's Breath Legion arrived at the battlefield, Kutum gave the order to retreat. Because of the acquisition of a planet, the Dragon's Breath is grateful to Kutum and only listens to Kutum's command. If Kutum hadn't died in the battle of Mars, Dragon's Breath would not have listened to the call of the other top war kings. To put it simply, as long as Kutum is alive, other top war kings will not be able to control the Dragon Breath Clan, and they will regard the Dragon Breath Clan as a potential threat, and a huge threat. ”

"So, let's start here."

Yang Yi made a decision, and Curia didn't say anything more. After learning that Yang Yi had tamed Lombardo's car, that is, the twelfth-level blue dragon, Kuria realized what a wise decision it was to join Yang Yi in the first place. In his eyes, Yang Yi seems to be an existence that surpasses the top war king. (To be continued.) )
