As the citizens of the Empire begin to adapt to this rapidly developing world and extend their vision beyond the solar system to 40 light-years away, the brave spaceship is moving forward alone, opening up a wider territory for the development of mankind.

Zhang Wenliang looked at the atomic clock, it was already the 114th year of the imperial calendar, 2168 AD, and the spacecraft had been advancing lonely in space for 17 years (Venus year). In 17 years, there were 500 million people on board, but now there are 10 million new people; At the same time, enough 2 million citizens have closed their eyes forever.

Some people, who are seventy or eighty, just want to be able to enjoy a handful before they die; And some people are not adapted to the environment of space. The specific reason has not yet been analyzed by the empire, after all, there are relatively few examples, not to mention, and there is a slow signal transmission. In fact, with the exception of the latest War and Bright spacecraft carrying ultra-long-range communication devices, the current Hope spacecraft does not carry such a device - which means that the Hope spacecraft can be said to be completely isolated from the solar system!

In order to conserve resources, these dead citizens are cremated and buried. When they arrive on the planet, they will migrate to a fixed land.

The giant ship slowly flips to provide artificial gravity and move forward at high speeds. Zhang Wenliang and his wife, son, and grandson sat together to eat - I don't know if it was breakfast or supper, in fact, even if it was a clock, but without the rise and fall of the sun, people had gradually forgotten the difference between morning, noon and evening. It's just a mechanical work according to the work requirements and time. The ship needs to operate around the clock, so it needs to have enough people to maintain it at all times.

And such a stressful day. It's been 17 imperial years.

However, the destination is also about to arrive.

Through the porthole, you can see the bright Aquarius EZ galaxy in the distance, three stars, so wonderful! They hover over each other, and the mechanism of their birth is still not understood by human technology. And this star system is even more strange, the living planet was born on the inner side of the star's orbit! If this is the case with the earth, the decisive geocentrism says!

And now at this distance, the observation of these three stars is very clear. Three red dwarfs. The added mass is about exactly the mass of just one sun. But the wonderful thing is. Between the three stars, a planet of life will be born, which can only be said to be the size of the world, and the wisdom of nature has challenged the worldview of mankind again and again!

Three stars turn out to have similar mass. Attract each other to do ring sports. The orbital radius is 120 million kilometers. Its radius distance was approximately equivalent to the distance between Venus and the Sun today. In about half a standard year, it will rotate once.

It is said that the light emitted by these three stars is not particularly strong because of their small size and slow nuclear reaction. The light of a single star is less than one-tenth of that of the sun, and the sum of the three barely reaches two-tenths or one-fifth of the sun's illumination intensity. Then, the theoretically central planet will not have enough light and temperature - it will receive almost as much light at this distance as the light intensity in Jupiter's orbit, and even if it is tripled, it will only be equal to the light intensity of the asteroid belt! Such light and temperature may be able to promote the birth of primitive life, but there is definitely not enough energy to support the birth of more complex organisms, especially mammals, and further intelligent life! Intelligent life, the energy consumed by the brain is terrifying, and without enough energy supply, it is difficult for life to evolve into a high IQ!

According to the received signals, it is a splendid world of spring!

"Since we don't understand, let's just go and see. Start with a few fast detectors; Ah, the probe should be beautified, to make the probe look cute, to make these elves easy to accept us. First impressions are often very important.

By the way, I think we should send a signal first, the signal is fast, and tell the elves who are struggling in advance that we are coming, let them hold on. It doesn't matter if it's already extinct; And if they happen to be on the verge of extinction, such information can often make the fighting warriors burst out with greater strength and increase the survival rate," the wife whispered beside her, after all, the woman was careful. After so many years of practice, Dongfang Xiaoyun, who was already very beautiful, has shown a mature charm and a kind of maternal kindness! Not to mention, because she has been a queen, there is also an inexplicable majesty; All of these qiē make Dongfang Xiaoyun so beautiful that ordinary people dare not look at it directly.

"That's all it can be." Zhang Wenliang smiled faintly, this life is rich enough, he has a beautiful wife, he has been an emperor, and now he has the opportunity to lead mankind to declare majesty and peace, and lead mankind to expand. All of them seemed so incredible in the Earth Age; Now, however, it has become the main means of human expansion in space.

There are not too many heroic words, and the warriors use practical actions to interpret the pace of human progress.

Regardless of whether the other party can accept the means of electromagnetic wave signals, the new technology is derived from the traditional binary electromagnetic wave to the most advanced infinite-base technology of the present empire, which is triggered by the cosmic information theory. And the language of the launch contains dozens of languages on the earth, mainly Chinese, and even the language of the elves that have been deciphered.

The signal was simple, just a few words: Received a nobleman's distress signal, we are about to arrive.

At the same time, two probes were violently ejected, and with the initial speed of the spacecraft itself, the two probes flew at up to 0.7 times the speed of light! They plunged into the gravitational sphere of Aquarius first.

The 114th year of the imperial calendar has flown by, and the 115th year has arrived, and the spacecraft has detected the gravitational field of the constellation Aquarius. There are 120 billion kilometers more to enter the Aquarius EZ system. The huge solar sails slowly open and begin to prepare for the impending deceleration. It will take a full year to slow down the time!

The ship must reduce its speed to a reasonable range in order to safely enter this strange circle of stars! It's too fast, and it's bound to rush out; It's too slow. It could be captured by a star and need to be re-accelerated - that's not a good idea.

According to calculations, the deceleration time here takes a full 1.5 standard years, which is the time it takes for the stars to circle three times here! I just don't know how life here calculates time and divides years, months and days in this world where there is no darkness.

Squeak...... The huge solar sails are back to work after 20 imperial years of slumber; The shiny sail catches the barely detectable light at this distance, providing a pitiful deceleration.

………………………………

A land full of greenery, a world full of flowers, and a variety of beautiful, majestic and other trees rise to the sky, and the trees are densely covered with fruits. Some beautiful animals are constantly shuttling through it. Over here. It's like a beautiful animation world, and it's an animation world that is beautifully beautified!

Thorny ...... A fist-sized, big-tailed creature with two front paws holding a red fruit ran by.

The high priest didn't care, and continued to stare at the altar. The flowers have bloomed and fallen 50 times. Still haven't received any information. The bravest warrior of the six clans who cut their wrists and donated blood. It has turned into dry bones. But still standing firm by the altar!

The bones were white, but they radiated a divine light—they, for the safety of the people. He resolutely gave up his life, and used the magic and blood of his whole body to activate this altar - this altar that gathered tens of thousands of years of wisdom research from the elves!

A gust of wind blew, and a breeze blew the white hair of the high priest, and under the dry white hair was a dry face. Obviously, the high priest who waited for the 50 flowers to bloom and fall here had come to the end of his life.

Rustling...... A middle-aged female elf wearing a golden flower crown walked slowly, holding a purple-gold scepter in her hand. However, this scepter, in addition to symbolizing power, is also a powerful magic staff!

At a distance of about ten meters from the High Priestess, the elf stopped softly and set aside the flower crown and scepter, where there was a horizontally growing canopy, just like a table.

Then the elf folded her hands, respectfully walked up to the high priest, and stood quietly bowed.

"How's it going out there?" The High Priest spoke slowly, but his body remained motionless. Several jasper-like vines wrapped around the High Priest's body, providing the High Elder with the power of life.

"Back to the high priest, the situation is not optimistic, for 50 years, the number of our people has decreased by about 1 million per year; Now there are only 80 million people! And the number of magic dragons is slowly climbing. The warriors can't stop it.

If," said this, there was a slight despair in the elf's eyes, "if we don't have a way to restrain these dragons, we will return to our mother's arms forever." ”

"Mother......" The high priest looked up and saw a strange tree not far from the altar, from which the vines on the high priest's body had emerged. This tree is not particularly tall, only about 100 meters, and it looks a little small under the trees that are all thousands of meters high around it.

But this tree, the whole body is green and translucent, like jasper. And its branches vary. Some are broad-leaved, some are needle-leaved, some are grassy blades, and some are even soft silk wool like aquatic plants. This is a mother tree, and it is said that all the qiē on this planet started here, and the elves are the top creatures born from the mother tree.

At this moment, at the very top of the tree, there is a fruit of thirty centimeters in size, this fruit is translucent on the outside, and you can even see a strange embryo inside! This embryo is the next elf's royal family!

The mother tree gives birth to an ordinary purebred elf every year; Every hundred years, there will be three years to give birth to an elven royal family. All the elven nobles started here, and then began to have children. The birth of the elves is very regular, one male and one female, and there is never a mistake. And the current elf race, except for the nobles, the rest are all descendants of the combination of the elves and nobles, and then continue to reproduce, with the current elf race.

It's a magical world, it's a beautiful world. Taken care of by a special cosmic environment, the planets here are full of strange energies, and even outer space has such abundant energies; The elves call this energy magical energy; And every elf is a master of magic.

But because they were born in plants, the elves are a strange race, although the (terrestrial) civilization is extremely developed, but they have no quarrel with the world, and their biggest hobby is to cultivate plants and expand the influence of the "mother".

But a thousand years ago. A change has taken place, and the elven race, which is indisputable in the world, continues to expand due to the rapid increase in population, and actually comes into contact with an evil being.

On the other side of the planet, as humans have imagined, there is an even stranger continent; Life here begins at birth, whether it is a plant or an animal, and the life process of killing begins until the end of life. And because of the perennial killing, the life here is irrational.

Until, a demon dragon inadvertently devoured an elf. Unexpectedly gained a little wisdom. Then he devoured hundreds of elves back and forth, and became the highest IQ in that continent! This makes the dragon clan crazy. Under the guidance of this demon dragon who has gained wisdom, the demon dragon begins to devour the elves to gain wisdom.

Thus, a war that spanned a millennium. Unfolded!

However, the war was not good for the elves from the beginning; The elves who play with flowers and grass every day. How to be the opponent of the demon dragon who came from the killing.

Until now. The number of elves has dropped from 1.5 billion at its peak to 80 million! The extinction of the dead race is already in sight!

However, because this planet and its surroundings are filled with a huge amount of magical energy, the powerful magicians of the elves can fly out of the planet. Momentary existence in space - so the elves see the outside world; So the High Priest came up with an idea - to ask for help in outer space!

Yes, if this situation continues, the elven race will definitely be wiped out, in this case, it is better to gamble!

Therefore, under the auspices of the high priest, three men and three women, six powerful elves were selected from the clan, and with their strength and blood they opened the altar and asked for help from the outside world.

But it's been 50 years now, and there is still no response, which has made the current Elf Empress a little desperate.

"Don't despair until the last minute." The voice of the high priest was like the friction of a dry tree, harsh and unpleasant. But in the dry eyes, there was a glint of wisdom: "The outside world is too big, we only have three stars in the sky, but the outside world is full of hundreds of millions of stars." But the gathering is too far away, and even if they receive our distress signal, it may take decades, even hundreds of years, to get here. ”

The words of the high priest could not be heard, as if they were telling a fact.

It's just that this answer makes the despair in the empress's eyes a little greater! The high priests are the royal family of the previous term, and they may even be the royal family of the previous term, and they are the spiritual pillars of the elven clan.

Of course, the Empress also had the opportunity to go to outer space and know that the outside world was vast and far away!! Far away beyond imagination! They attacked with the most powerful magic arrows in the clan, and they couldn't even cross the range of the three suns in the sky! (If you let the earthlings know what they're doing, you'll laugh off your big teeth.) ）

Suddenly, the heavens and the earth suddenly lit up, and then quickly disappeared.

In the distance, a bright, even somewhat dazzling pillar of light flickered, with a little light and shadow of beautiful green vines entwined on it.

"Forbidden spell!" Tears welled up in the Empress's eyes. A power that is exchanged for life, a power that ends together. It was with this ruthlessness that the elven clan had recently withstood the crazy attack of the demon dragon.

But the magic dragons and dragons, they also have strong magical abilities!

However, before the empress's tears fell, the altar suddenly came to life, and the blood on it, which had not dried up for 50 years, suddenly flowed, and then turned into strange images, symbols, etc., floating in the air. And as the information received by the altar continued to increase, these strange symbols became more and more extensive.

In the end, a ten-meter-square curtain of light was formed, on which hundreds of different symbols flashed, some even in a jumble of lines - obviously some of the signals that the altar could not catch. But at the back, in the lower right corner, a line of text known to the elves is prominently listed:

Received a distress signal from the nobles, we are about to arrive.

Here it comes!!! At this moment, a strong light erupted in the eyes of the high priest, and the light of the eyes actually appeared in the shape of leaves, which is one of the signs of strong magical ability.

"Hahaha...... The elves are saved! A civilization that can come from the distant starry sky must be very powerful! We are saved! There is a saved...... "The high priest and the empress hugged each other and cried!" (To be continued......)
