Chapter 676: Three-legged stand
"Why, you know these things?"
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, then shook his head. He did, but not much. At first, he just thought about the great catastrophe that led to the destruction of the galaxy, and what happened after that. The Holy Emperor of Light really didn't talk nonsense, and during the journey of escape, no one had hope for the future. In fact, no one believed that the spacecraft they were flying in would be able to reach a nearby star system.
This escape lasted for tens of thousands of years.
You know, the glorious Second Age only lasted for about 3,000 years.
The Bright Saint Emperor made it very clear that none of those who escaped from the galaxy alive made it to the Southern Alpha System alive. The people who came to the Southern Alpha System, including him, the Emperor of Courage and the Empress of Wisdom, were all born on the way to escape, and they also learned about the Second Age through the historical materials they brought with them when they fled. It's just that there are only three of them who really understand the Second Age.
Before reaching the Southern Alpha system, they destroyed all the historical data.
"Why?" Lin Feng was a little excited, because in her opinion, the actions of the Bright Saint Emperor and the others had seriously damaged the interests of the Human Federation.
"You shouldn't ask me this question, but you should ask yourselves, you humans."
Lin Feng looked at the Bright Holy Emperor, and didn't know what to say.
"Yes, in the Second Age, humanity is indeed our leader. It could even be said that without humanity, we might still be in the period of ignorance. The problem is that we won't lose our home, let alone leave the galaxy, and we won't suffer so much because of it. Although objectively speaking, those crazy human scientists are thinking about our future, but they are too confident and arrogant, not only do they not listen to the opinions of other civilizations, but they also take the opposition of their own people as wind in their ears. If they weren't so arrogant, even if the resources were exhausted, the galaxy wouldn't be destroyed, or at least we wouldn't be forced to flee. ”
"So, after coming to the Southern Alpha System, will that all change?"
The Bright Holy Emperor was slightly stunned and looked at Yang Yi.
"Obviously, the problems that the Galactic Alliance encountered in the galaxy, which are also present here, have not disappeared because of the decline of humanity." Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "The fact is that this problem has been exposed, and the current state is even more serious. In any case, at least in the Second Age, human beings did not oppress and enslave other civilizations, let alone destroy other civilizations because of the lack of living space and resources. Besides, there is certainly no such powerful enemy in the galaxy as the Silicon Alliance. Like you said, what human scientists are doing is thinking about the future of all civilizations, only the results are not so ideal. ”
"So, we should be thankful to humans?"
Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and didn't argue with the Bright Saint Emperor.
"You have a point, but if you look at it from another angle, you will find that the problem we encounter is actually the attitude of human beings towards other civilizations."
"Attitude? Could it be that there is also a problem with mankind helping other civilizations to emerge from ignorance? ”
"Of course there's no problem, it's just that humans are too generous."
"You ......"
Yang Yi glanced at Lin Feng and asked Lin Feng not to get excited.
"At the beginning, human beings came to us as saviors, and then, like saviors, handed over those advanced technologies to us, allowing us to enter the era of space voyages, leaving the planet of birth and becoming a member of the galactic family. The question is, does it need to be done and should it be done? That's right, our Hidden Spirit Clan, as well as the Lei Ling Clan and the Weaver Clan, who are connected to our bloodline, have all benefited a lot. However, human beings probably like to play God, and in just a few hundred years, all intelligent civilizations in the galaxy have entered an unprecedented period, and some even triple jump, jumping from primitive tribal civilizations to the age of space voyages. Humanity has indeed become a savior, the head of a galactic family, and a god in the eyes of other civilizations. The question is, when human beings do these things, they don't even think about whether the living space and survival resources of the galaxy can support so many civilizations. Obviously, human beings are too confident that they can overcome all difficulties and do not even think about this problem. ”
"So, have you thought about it?"
The Bright Saint Emperor smiled faintly and said, "You're really right, not only have we thought about it, but in our more than 10,000 years of fugitive life, this is the only question we have seriously thought about. ”
"You ......"
"Humans have done nothing wrong, they have just become blind because of self-confidence. To put it simply, human beings regard themselves as gods and think that they can control and dominate the entire universe, so they do not take any difficulties into account. Perhaps at that time, mankind did not believe that there were unsolvable problems in the universe. Obviously, we are as confident as human beings, and we are not as arrogant, and we have learned self-discipline. ”
"Self-discipline?"
The Bright Saint Emperor let out a long breath and said, "How do you think the Hidden Spirit Clan, the Thunder Ling Clan, and the Weaver Star Clan can become the top civilization of the Third Age and the master of the Galactic Alliance?" Don't tell me, just because we were more fortunate to come to the Southern Alpha system one step ahead of other civilizations. ”
Yang Yi's brows jumped a few times, and Lin Feng's expression became much more solemn.
"Of course, we were lucky, but that's not the most important thing. The point is that we know self-discipline and know that we are not omnipotent, so we made a very detailed escape plan before we fled, and it has been strictly implemented. Not only did we come to the Southern Alpha system first, but we also had the most resources when we came to the Southern Alpha system. ”
"What's the plan?" Yang Yi asked.
"Actually, it's not a plan."
Yang Yi smiled faintly and looked at the Bright Saint Emperor with expectation.
"Since you want to know so much, it doesn't hurt to tell you." The Bright Saint Emperor sighed and said, "I told you earlier that when those crazy scientists decided to make a space jump through the black hole, other scientists prepared for the worst-case scenario, building a large number of ships that could fly at the speed of light, and contacting various civilizations to prepare them to flee. As the first civilization in the Galactic Alliance to come into contact with humanity, and the first to achieve great development with the help of humans, and to assist humanity in opening up the entire galaxy, we received the news as soon as we could, and then began to prepare for the escape. ”
"So, the Hidden Spirit Clan, the Lei Ling Clan, and the Weaver Star Clan were originally one civilization?"
The Bright Saint Emperor was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "In the Second Age, we are indeed a civilization. Because of our close relationship with humanity and the large amount of resources we have, we have built a large number of spaceships on our own in a very short period of time. As I said before, because there was not enough faith, and there was no other way at the time, we had to resort to the stupidest way to increase the chances of civilization surviving. That is, use all the resources to build a spaceship and get more people out of the galaxy. We must admit that the human scientists who have been assisting us are indeed our benefactors, because without their support and help, we would not have been able to build enough spaceships in such a short period of time. Even if it is reduced by three percent, I am afraid that there will be no three top civilizations later. ”
"What do you mean?"
"That is, at the time of the 'Apocalypse', we sent a total of a hundred fleets, each carrying enough personnel and a set of advanced equipment that would be used to rebuild civilization after arriving in the New World. However, only three of the fleets ended up in the Southern Alpha system, and the other ninety-seven fleets were either destroyed, missing, or stranded in the void between the star systems due to early deceleration. Fortunately, at least three fleets came here, and there were three top civilizations later. The Bright Saint Emperor paused slightly, and then said, "It's just that the escape journey that lasted for more than 10,000 years has completely changed the survival habits of these three survivors, and even the genes have mutated. While we all know that we share the same ancestor, for a variety of reasons, primarily for our own sake, we did not come to the Southern Alpha System as a single civilization. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, you didn't integrate into a civilization because you didn't want to follow in the footsteps of humanity. Only a three-legged stand can ensure that none of them can dominate. In the same way, here you have established a new ruling order, not only not to prop up other civilizations, but to fight and oppress other civilizations in various ways. If necessary, you will even resort to war to wipe out some civilizations. ”
"Do you think there's another way?" Obviously, the Bright Holy Emperor didn't see anything wrong with this.
Yang Yi smiled faintly and said: "Let's not say whether your approach is right or not, after all, when it comes to the survival of civilization, there will be no absolute right or absolute wrong, there are just different positions and different views." It's just that I have a question that I have never figured out. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Why didn't you exterminate humanity? Even if the situation of the Human Federation has always been less than ideal, for thousands of years, whenever we encounter a serious threat, especially an existential threat, there will always be a top civilization that stands up to help us through it. Yang Yi paused slightly and said, "Don't tell me I'm grateful, because you weren't born in the Second Age. ”
The Bright Saint Emperor was slightly stunned, then laughed.
"Of course, if you're too embarrassed to answer, just because I didn't ask."
"You're smart enough to get the key right at once." The Bright Saint Emperor put away his smile and said, "Indeed, as you said, we did not destroy the human race, and we also helped the Human Federation to survive the difficulties, which has nothing to do with gratitude. Humans still exist, and they are only related to one thing. ”
Yang Yi's brows jumped a few times, but his expression did not change at all. (To be continued.) )
