Chapter 53: Why?
Xiao Yu never thought that his guess of "interests first" was wrong. Xiao Yu always believes that if there is not enough profit driven, it is impossible for the lizardman civilization to take the initiative to take action against itself.
Now, Xiao Yu's speculation has finally been confirmed. The Lizardman civilization will take the initiative to attack itself in order to verify the speculation that "destroying other civilizations will improve the luck of its own civilization".
At this moment, from this association, Xiao Yu thought of a lot of things.
"The Earth Exploded...... Earth Explosion ...... Could it be that a certain civilization, in order to improve its own luck, blatantly attacked the earthlings? β
In Xiao Yu's heart, such a thought popped up, but Xiao Yu keenly grasped a suspicious point.
"No, no, there's another suspicion that can't be explained. That is, what is the criterion for the extinction of civilization? All the intelligent beings that make up this civilization are dead? Or is it the loss of the heritage of civilization? But neither seems to make sense. Although the planet of the lizardmen exploded, 300,000 people escaped, and they did not become extinct, and they also continued to pass on their civilization, although the earth exploded, I also escaped, and the civilization of human beings on the earth still continues to develop. β
"Since the civilization is still inherited, it doesn't seem to be the extinction of the civilization, since this mysterious and unknowable Liliang has not extinguished this civilization, it seems to show that the lizardmen's guess is wrong. Or rather...... The speculation that civilization will be exterminated to improve its own luck is wrong. β
"But...... During this time, I was also very lucky, I got the energy cannon manufacturing technology, obtained a large number of building materials on the Lizardman planet, and there was a breakthrough in the construction of a new photonic computer...... Could it be because I wiped out the lizardfolk civilization? β
All kinds of contradictory information were mixed together, so that Xiao Yu had no way to come up with a clear answer. At this moment, Xiao Yu even had the idea of destroying a civilization to verify the speculation that "eliminating civilization will lead to his own luck".
The second paragraph, there is no more here. Xiao Yu had no choice but to wait for the completion of the decipherment while carrying out the construction of the fleet.
Gradually, another five years passed. Xiao Yu's construction work was fully completed, the Sun was re-smelted, and its materials were re-forged to become part of the New Yuanhang, and the construction of the New Tianyuan was completed.
Up to now, Xiao Yu has a total of 1,243 spaceships, including two 800,000-ton county-level spaceships, namely the New Tianyuan and the New Yuanhang, and one 400,000-ton county-level spaceship, which is the New Sun. There are 1,000 village-level ships and 240 township-level ships.
The three county-level spaceships were all equipped with Xiao Yu's most advanced energy weapons at the moment. Xiao Yu also gave this energy weapon an extremely attractive name, called the Dragon God Cannon. The weapon systems of township-level spacecraft and county-level spacecraft have also been updated, and the high-speed machine guns manufactured by Jishu have been fully applied with more advanced electromagnetic coil acceleration, and new high-energy laser cannons have also been equipped on all spacecraft, and the overall actual combat capability of Xiao Yu's fleet has made a huge leap.
Now Xiao Yu, if he faces the lizardman civilization again, Xiao Yu is confident that he will destroy all the other party's resistance within a month.
The new photonic computer was installed on the Tianyuan and the Yuanhang, and in normal times, Xiao Yu would live on one of the two photon computers, and the other would take on the computing tasks of the entire fleet without Xiao Yu's intervention.
The Voyage became the new flagship of Xiao Yu's fleet.
Xiao Yu moved all the recyclable materials on the planet onto the spaceship, and then Xiao Yu controlled the fleet and came to the top of the planet.
"It's time to leave." Xiao Yu thought, "After staying here for so many years, this matter should also be over." β
Xiao Yu didn't plan to stay on this planet and go to the Tianyuan. First, because this planet is too barren and basically has no development value, and second, Xiao Yu, who has obtained a new type of spaceship and sufficient raw material replenishment, will be able to control the fleet to obtain higher speeds, and can reach the Tianyuan Four Star System at least a thousand years in advance. In this case, it is not worth it to stay on this planet.
"Barren Star, Zaijian, good luck." Xiao Yu said silently and gave the order to set off. Immediately, more than 1,400 spaceships simultaneously erupted bright blue flames from their tails and began to set off towards the pitch-black universe.
With Xiao Yu leaving, the barren star fell back into silence. It will continue to wander through space, perhaps if it is lucky enough to be captured by a star as its own planet, or if it is unlucky, it may run into a black hole and be swallowed up.
Xiao Yu didn't care about its fate. There are too many such things in the universe.
In the second year after Xiao Yu left the Barren Star, all the core information of the lizardmen was cracked.
"The interstellar voyage has begun. We left our stars and stepped into the dark universe. β
"Terraforming Jihua has begun, and the project is proceeding very slowly due to the lack of supplies. We're slowly transforming the planet's atmosphere, and we're building cities on the ground. β
"Civilization is struggling to maintain and inherit. Gradually, our people have forgotten the warm and comfortable home we once had, but I will never forget it. I was horrified to see the horrific changes in the bodies of our people. As intelligent beings, we undoubtedly walk upright, but in order to withstand the harsh cosmic environment, in order to obtain more heat sources, we began to gradually evolve in the direction of reptiles, and the photoreceptor organs began to degenerate, and we evolved new thermoreceptors. β
"I don't know if this change is good or bad, I can only eagerly hope that I will reach my destination sooner, and I will almost forget what the light looks like."
Xiao Yu's fleet began to accelerate again. In fact, when confronting the lizardman civilization in the past few decades, Xiao Yu's fleet and that planet had also been moving close to Tianyuan Si. With this acceleration, Xiao Yu's fleet reached a speed of nine hundred kilometers per second relative to Tianyuan Four.
At this rate, Xiao Yu will reach his destination in about 1,600 years. This time has been saved by more than 1,000 years compared to the original estimate.
In the dark universe, there are stars on all sides. The farthest stars are even tens of billions of light-years away.
"How big and mysterious the universe is. There's so much I haven't learned. Xiao Yu sighed and continued to read this information.
"For more than a thousand years, we have not encountered any civilization, so there is no way to verify that speculation. At the same time, the pace of our scientific and technological progress has also slowed down significantly. It seems that we have run out of good luck from the extinction of indigenous civilizations. Our race has always been limited to less than one million people, and I have to say that the environment on this planet is really too harsh. It's so bad that even if we've been doing more than a thousand years of renovation work, we wouldn't be able to survive on this planet without the life-sustaining system. β
"Life, just like that, is boring and peaceful. Until an incident happened that completely broke this calm. β
"Two thousand years after the beginning of the fugitive, there was a very serious accident in our civilization. A newly-born young life, while receiving education on the history of our civilization escape, raised a question. β
"I still remember the name of this young fellow, who later grew up to be one of the most brilliant scientists in our civilization."
"This is a problem that has almost turned our society upside down. His question was very simple, in class, he asked his teacher, after escaping to a new planet, because of the proximity to that Jupiter-like planet, we have an infinite source of fusion fuel, and at the same time we have an almost infinite source of minerals on the original parent planet, weishenme We can't develop technology here, wait until the technology is developed enough before escaping? Weishenme began to flee without being fully prepared for anything? β
His teacher froze. Because his teacher suddenly realized that he had never thought about this problem. Not only him, but our entire society, with a population of almost one million, has not thought about this question for more than two thousand years. It seems that all of us are suffering from selective amnesia at the same time, forgetting about the problem and only thinking about fleeing, and immediately set sail as soon as technology reached the point where the planet could be propelled to interstellar voyages. β
"This issue has had a huge impact in our society, and our whole society has had a great discussion for hundreds of years. During this time, various hypotheses were proposed, but none of them were convincing enough. In fact, until now, we don't know why, I don't know that no one in Weishenme thought of staying in the home galaxy, developing technology first and then escaping. β
Xiao Yu fell into a stupor. Xiao Yu's heart set off a turbulent wave, so much so that the central computer almost crashed.
"Yes, Weishenme? weishenmeοΌ This...... This seems to be a very simple reason, stay in the home galaxy first, use those resources to develop technology, and then flee after the technology is developed enough, isn't this reason very simple? Isn't it easy to think of? β
"But weishenme? weishenme I haven't thought of this question before? weishenme I didn't think about this question at all before? β
Xiao Yu muttered to himself, his heart shaking more and more.

Looking at the 22 reminder tickets...... Really greedy...... Would love ...... But there is no way, there is no ability to take it...... 6,000 words of updates every day, I don't think it's too little......
