This is the ruins after the Great War, where there are endless warship wrecks, some belong to Xiao Yu, and some belong to the virtual life civilization. Some of the wreckage is relatively well preserved, and the shape of the battleship can be roughly seen, while some of the wreckage is not visible at all, they are like a ball of twisted flowers, and there is no value for reuse at all.

The ruins are a vast area that is at least seven light-years long, two light-years wide and nearly hundreds of billions of kilometers thick. Its size is comparable to some small interstellar dust clouds.

In recent times, in the virtual life civilization, there have been fewer large-scale chaos outbreaks, but small-scale chaos is still non-stop, and it is far from subsiding. In the midst of this boundless chaos, this belt of ruins has quietly become the place where the most conflict erupts.

A city-level ship is cautiously navigating through the ruins. In recent times, a number of individual ships have come to explore the ruined area, trying to find some usable equipment and the like here, and then dismantle it and turn it into their own stockpile. Obviously, this city-level spaceship at this moment is fighting with such a mind. It walked through it, occasionally using some strange beams to illuminate the wreckage of the warships around it, checking the wreckage for its own usable parts or equipment......

Exploring here is a risky activity, as there are also a large number of ships that choose to hide in the ruins, like crocodiles lurking for their prey, and then launching a surprise attack when they find a ship that they can defeat. Because it is not easy to find usable materials in this ruin, destroying an intact spaceship and then finding usable materials from this destroyed spaceship is a relatively high success rate.

It is for this reason. The ship that had come to find supplies was becoming more and more cautious. Because it doesn't know how many enemies are hiding around it ready to strike at it.

It finally found a relatively well-preserved wreckage, and light scans revealed that there were at least thousands of usable parts of the ship. It happily greets it, opens its own hatch, and sends the robot ready to split the wreckage. Everything was going well, and just as its robot was next to the wreckage, a mutation suddenly happened.

At least a dozen spaceships suddenly appeared next to it, the largest of which was a provincial-level spaceship. More than a dozen ships united. A single combined attack left the ship without power, and its weapons and defenses were paralyzed. The dozen or so ships that popped up were clearly experienced. They know where to attack to best preserve the integrity of the battleship. The more fully preserved the ship, the more available supplies you can get.

Without any communication, the dozen or so ships went about their actions in silence. After this municipal ship lost power, attack and defense. They approached the ship in silence. The robot was sent to enter its interior through the hatch that it had not had time to close, successfully found the ship's main control computer, and then cut off its energy supply without hesitation, and after a pause of more than ten seconds, they connected the energy supply again. The computing terminal turned on again, but there was no shadow of the clone inside. A clone dies, and a new one is born, inhabited by the ship. The dozen or so attacking ships seem to have some sort of agreement. They weren't at odds over whose clone was going to take possession of the new ship.

After the acquisition of this spaceship, the team, which had expanded in strength again, hid again. Continue to wait for the next prey to take the bait......

It's a very strange scene. In the midst of this boundless wreckage, such things are happening everywhere. Some of these teams succeeded, and they grew stronger, while others failed, and instead of a single ship, they came to find the available supplies, but another group that had reached an agreement, and they were swallowed up. In the midst of such successful or unsuccessful actions, groups sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and sometimes these groups would meet, and a war ensued. And no matter which side wins the war, they will always come together again and become a new, stronger collective.

In the chaos of the past, these clones have come to realize that the power of the individual is insignificant. So they temporarily joined forces to increase their chances of survival. This is a good development for them, but very bad for Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu, who has been monitoring here, knows that for the virtual life civilization, the era of melee is over, and it is time for the era of "warlord separation".

The number of such small groups that survive on the ruins is hundreds of millions. Some of them have completed their most basic accumulation and left the area to participate in the larger strife - beyond the ruins there are also countless groups of forces, which are larger and more powerful. They usually gather a large number of other small ships around a planetary or stellar ship, and there is some kind of agreement between the small ships and the large ships, that the large ships will not come to annex the small ships, and the small ships will obey the command of the large ships. A group is united in such interests.

The number of such groups is also very large. Together, they build up their own group by devouring the rest of the group. After the victory, the big ship will occupy the most benefits, and the small ship will share the leftovers after the big ship eats up. No matter how this benefit is distributed, as long as the group continues to win, they will always be able to continuously improve their strength.

In such a group, there may also be large ships that have increased their power to a certain extent, so they take sudden measures, and suddenly damage the small ships under their command, so that they lose their mobility, defense and attack power, and then occupy their ships by their own clones. As a result, they completed the transformation, from a simple combination of interests, to a solid small virtual life empire occupied by their own clones.

Now, four years have passed. The total number of spaceships in the entire virtual life civilization has been reduced to less than 50 billion, and the number of power groups cannot be counted, but the share of spaceships occupied by power groups should be around 30 billion. The forces are strife, the individual ships are fighting each other, the chaos has not stopped, but some tacit unspoken rules have begun to prevail in this broken civilization.

Xiao Yu shook his head lightly.

"It's not time for me to do it yet. I'm not sure they'll be wiped out completely. Now is not the time for my nails to kick in. Continue to wait for ......," Xiao Yu said to the architectural civilization.

When a group of influences grows to a certain point, it will break away from the mode of relying only on plundering others to maintain its own development. The total number of spaceships in some large power groups has exceeded 100,000, and they have even scraped together all the materials for building bases by dismantling spaceships. As a result, a sustainable "warlord" with a stable source of spaceships appeared in this chaotic starry sky. It's just that the efficiency of these construction bases to produce ships is very questionable.

None of the large-scale construction bases left over from the time when Virtual Life One dominated the entire civilization have been left so far, and all of them were destroyed in the early stages of chaos. This is what Xiao Yu expected, when everyone wants something, usually everyone can't get it. Even if someone gets the thing temporarily, it will be snatched away by the rest of the people again. And in the midst of this constant strife, the fate of the destruction of these construction bases has long been doomed.

The emergence of the construction base means that the situation at the moment has developed to a new stage. After owning the construction base, the actions of the large power groups began to have a certain pattern, and they began to make plans instead of fighting indiscriminately like headless flies. In the face of such a power group, it is impossible for a single ship to have the ability to fight, and they will either be annexed or directly destroyed. The larger the scale of the power group, the faster it develops, the larger the scale, and the fate of the small power group, if there is no special opportunity, can only be destroyed.

Under such circumstances, the first group with a scale of more than 100 million appeared. It already has some of the demeanor of a virtual life empire, and within it, it has perfect logistics facilities and a strict organizational structure, and war is no longer a chaotic war for them, but an operation with strict planning and logistics supply.

At this time, the total number of spaceships in the entire virtual life civilization has dropped to less than 30 billion. Individual ships are largely extinct. It is roughly divided into more than 1,500 warlords, large or small, with the largest warlord spaceship exceeding 100 million, and the smallest warlord spaceship numbering only a million.

The development of the situation has entered a new period. At this time, wars are no longer just fought, and every war will be decided whether to start or not after the leaders and clones have comprehensively weighed the comprehensive interests. Order has been quietly formed, and for Xiao Yu, the time has come to make the next plan. (To be continued......)
