Actually, this is not a crevasse in ice, but a canyon made of solid ice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After walking for a while, Amy suddenly stopped Yang Yi.

"What's wrong?"

"This should be a storm ocean, a frozen storm ocean to be exact."

Yang Yi was very puzzled and looked at Amy incomprehensibly.

"Although the outside world didn't know much about the situation of this planet after the Extreme Realm Clan became the master, but before that, when we came to the Southern Alpha System, we surveyed this planet. It was in this way that the planet was finally handed over to the Extreme Realm. Amy paused slightly, then added, "Because the environment is too harsh to survive, no one has named this planet." Even now, there is no official name. Because it is the home planet of the Polar Realm, we generally call it the Polar Star. It is clear that preparation is an informal name. Before that, when we came to the Southern Alpha System and searched for a foothold, the Pioneers called the planet the Storm Star. The name comes from the storm ocean. ”

Yang Yi nodded slightly and let Amy continue.

"In fact, if it weren't for the temperature change too much and the extremely long freezing period, this planet would be very suitable for us to live and survive. Quite simply, there's a lot of water here, and the storm ocean alone takes up two-thirds of the planet's surface. If you look at the amount of water, the planet is enough to support tens of billions of people. You know, water is the most precious resource, and it is also the primary factor that determines whether a planet is suitable for us to live in. If there is not enough water on a planet, even if the temperature is right, it will not be enough to meet the survival needs of too many people. It can be said that if we had the technology we have now, we would not abandon the planet, but would have modified its environment. ”

"It's a pity that there was no such advanced technology at that time."

Amy sighed and said, "It's true, it's just that in that era, when thousands of civilizations came to the Southern Alpha System one after another, and all needed a suitable place to live, there was obviously no reason for us to give up a planet with a lot of water resources. ”

"What do you mean?"

"After the discovery of this planet, our pioneers, the first refugees to make way for the great army, to the Southern Alpha system, tried to modify the planet's environment, for example, by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, locking in some of the heat, and ensuring that even at aphelion, the temperature was above freezing. Of course, the most direct way is to use the technology we have already mastered, namely the Primal Energy Technology, to install a powerful energy source to heat the atmosphere so that the water on the planet will not freeze at any time. It's just a pity that these attempts either failed or could not be realized. What's more, one planet won't solve the problem. With the arrival of large armies, more star systems have been discovered, and many planets with suitable environments have been found, so this is no longer our only option. ”

"You're saying that this is the first planet that we can live on since we came to the Southern Alpha System?"

Amy nodded, indicating that this was what she meant.

Yang Yi smiled bitterly and sighed, which was completely unexpected by him.

"Of course, this planet is famous for its stormy seas."

"What do you mean?"

"The sea of storms is a treasure trove, but it is also the source of a harsh environment. To put it simply, the ocean, which covers two-thirds of the planet's surface, reflects a lot of precious sunlight, making it difficult for temperatures to rise. It's just that the water in the storm ocean is priceless. Amy let out a long breath and added, "As far as I know, when the pioneers came here, they did a thorough survey of the storm ocean, mainly the amount of water, using the most advanced technology of the time. Although most of the information has been lost, there is sufficient reason to believe that the subsequent settlement of the Arctic Clan here is likely related to the results of the Pioneer's survey. Quite simply, everyone thinks that only the Extreme Realm can survive here. ”

"I'm afraid not necessarily."

"Of course, there are other reasons. In any case, the Polar Realm is a civilization of the Galactic Alliance, although it is weird, but it is also from the Milky Way, so it must always give the Polar Realm a place to live. If it weren't for the Extreme Realm Clan's being too unusual, we wouldn't have made such an arrangement. ”

"What does it have to do with the sea of storms?"

"If we can't survive here, then the Extreme Realm is different. In addition, this arrangement may be related to long-term planning. ”

Yang Yi frowned and looked at Amy incomprehensibly.

"At that time, no one knew if we could gain a foothold in the Southern Alpha System, after all, while discovering those planets that were suitable for us to live in, we also discovered indigenous civilizations, and some indigenous civilizations had mastered very advanced technology and were very powerful. Not to mention other civilizations, even us, are not completely sure that they will be able to defeat the indigenous civilizations. If we lose the war against the Native Civilizations and are forced to leave the Southern Alpha System, then we need a temporary foothold, a place where we can prepare for another expedition. Obviously, this is the perfect place to be. Not only does it have the water resources that are indispensable for transgalactic navigation, but it is also far from the central region of the Southern Alpha system, and it is very inconspicuous and not valued by indigenous civilizations at all. ”

"You mean ......"

"In other words, we need to control this planet, but there is no reason to spend too many resources here, so handing over this planet to the Extreme Realm is the ideal choice. At least at the time, the Arctic were able to survive here. Even if it can't grow and grow, it will build some necessary infrastructure. If, one day in the future, we have to go on another expedition, the construction of the Extreme Realm Clan will be very meaningful. ”

"Using the Extreme Realm?"

Amy nodded slightly, and said, "Of course, it's not just about exploitation. In order for the Extreme Realm to survive here, we have also provided the necessary help. ”

"What helps?"

"Stormstar was the first solid planet we discovered in the Southern Alpha System with a suitable environment, so it remained our main foothold for the next few decades, or more precisely as a destination for refugees. It wasn't until we discovered a second solid-state planet with a suitable environment that the fleeing ships were diverted. However, during the resettlement period of more than 100 years of growing up, it has been responsible for hosting refugees. To put it simply, all civilizations that have fled will first be temporarily resettled here, and will not leave until they have found a suitable planet and established contact with the local indigenous civilizations. After tens of thousands of years of sailing, many of the ships have long since been damaged, and although some of them have been repaired, many remain. Besides, a short voyage inside the Southern Alpha system doesn't require too many ships, so those that have no repair value are abandoned. ”

Yang Yi was secretly startled, and his brows jumped a few times.

"After the settlement period, the Polar Realm took control of the planet. In order for the Arctic to survive here, the pioneers modified some abandoned ships, mainly to allow the ship's Origin Converter to continue to work, so as to create a suitable area for survival in the bitter cold. ”

"In the midst of the storm?"

Amy nodded and said, "At the bottom of the storm ocean, to be exact." The Arctic Realm Race developed from aquatic creatures and was born to survive in the water. ”

"This ......"

"Of course, that's not all. Although a large number of ships have been abandoned here, there are not many that can actually be repaired and can continue to be used. In other words, the created ecosystem is not large, and it can only barely allow the Extreme Realm to survive, and it is not possible to talk about development and growth at all. Once the civilizations had settled down, the Pioneers returned and provided the Arctic with vital technology, including the use of primordial energy to modify the planet's core, using geothermal heat to heat seawater and create a new world beneath the ice. It is in this way that the Extreme Realm has been able to grow and build the Storm Ocean into the most prosperous city in the Southern Region. At least until the Polar Realm leaves here and makes its home planet a no-go zone, Stormcity is the most populous city in the Southern Regions. ”

"Wait......"

Amy was slightly stunned, but also kept her mouth shut.

"You say, Storm City is in the Sea of Storms, and it's very prosperous?"

"Although I haven't been to Storm City, as far as I know, before the Extreme Realm Clan blocked the Southern Region, Storm City was a paradise that many people longed for."

"In other words, the Extreme Realm Clan at that time had already mastered extremely advanced technology."

"It's not very advanced, but it's pretty good."

"So, why hasn't the Storm Star block been transformed?"

"This ......"

"What's more, the Extreme Realm Clan is already a second-rate top-level civilization, and it dominates the southern region, even if the home planet has extraordinary significance, there is no reason to set it as a forbidden area. From another point of view, after becoming a second-rate top civilization, the Polar Realm Race should strengthen the status of the home planet, so as to gain the support and trust of more civilizations. If it weren't for some particular reason, there would be absolutely no reason for the Polar Realm to leave their home planet. ”

"This ......"

"Obviously, it's to protect a secret." Yang Yi glanced at Amy and said, "And it's probably related to the things left here." ”

"What's that?"

"What do you say?"

Amy was slightly stunned, then suddenly startled, and said with wide eyes, "Are you talking about those spaceships?" ”

Yang Yi nodded and said, "Obviously, those spaceships from the galaxy and built by human scientists must have extraordinary significance. ”

"The problem is, it was a ship built fifteen thousand years ago, and even if it was very advanced, it couldn't compare to what it is now."

"Maybe it has nothing to do with science and technology."

"But ......"

"Of course, what it is, we'll figure it out soon." Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "If this is the storm ocean, then the destination of our trip is at our feet." ”

As soon as Yang Yi said this, Amy understood, but she was also a little worried. (To be continued.) )
