Chapter 620: The Dilemma of the Pegasus Civilization

This place is a very strange place, and it can be seen from the fact that in the void of this universe, the spectral types and types of stars in the sky are consistent, and it can be seen that this is not a big universe, but a small universe.

This little universe is big, but it's empty. There is only a lone star inside it, no planets orbiting it, and only a strangely shaped base about a few kilometers in diameter. Around this base, there is a fleet of very different styles, this fleet is not large, and it is extremely dilapidated, this fleet only has about 100,000 ships in total, and each ship has varying degrees of damage on it.

"Has the space broadcast been sent?" Among these dilapidated spaceships, inside the largest spaceship, the new leader of the Pegasus civilization looked at the empty starry sky outside with a bitter face, and asked the person next to him without looking back.

"The space broadcast has been sent, but I don't think we can hold on and wait until the rest of the sixth-level civilizations arrive." The assistant also replied with a bitter face, "Moreover, even if the rest of the sixth-level civilizations received our message and were willing to come here, we would also not be able to confirm whether this sixth-level civilization that came here was benevolent or malicious, and even if they were well-intentioned, it was unknown whether they would fight the sixth-level civilization waiting outside for the sake of this small universe." Our Pegasus civilization, is it really exhausted......"

The leader's fists clenched involuntarily, and the muscles of his face twisted together. At this time, even a fool knows that the leader is suffering greatly in his heart at this moment.

"What the hell is weishenme, what is this weishenme...... Weishenme wants to let our civilization endure such great suffering, has God really abandoned us? First the Shenzhou civilization broke our galaxy defense circle, and then the previous leader defected, taking most of the elite of our Pegasus civilization with him. Then the alien beasts of the tree clan destroyed our planet, and then we encountered a black hole, and only escaped with the help of the Shenzhou civilization, this time, we finally encountered the remains of a sixth-level civilization and got this small universe, but we were targeted by another sixth-level civilization, and we were blocked in the small universe and couldn't get out...... This time, what do we do? Although with the help of the space broadcasting equipment in this small universe, a distress message was sent to the outside world. However, the universe is so dark, would there really be a well-intentioned sixth-level civilization that would rather fight with the sixth-level civilization waiting outside the small universe to save us? Where is our way out? Are we really going to have to stay in this barren little universe? Until the resources are exhausted and you have no choice but to die? ”

The leader muttered to himself. There was a look of pain in his eyes. He turned his head. Ask the assistant: "How long can we last with energy reserves?" ”

The assistant replied gloomily: "With rationing, we can probably last another year." Although there is a star here with an almost infinite amount of mass, our technology is not enough to obtain mass directly from the star. With solar energy, the lack of industrial base and raw materials makes it impossible for us to obtain enough energy in the short term. In fact. We are now building solar harvesting instruments by disassembling spacecraft. ”

After a pause, the assistant continued: "The answer given to us by the Academy of Life Sciences is that if our population is reduced to less than 10 percent of the current population, that is, less than 1 billion people. Then it is inevitable that our civilization will have a great recession in science and technology. With such a small population base, it is simply impossible to pass on a fifth-level civilization. And now, all the ships are inhabited by people who are far beyond the carrying capacity of the ships, and even if we dismantle the ships to obtain raw materials, we really can't dismantle many ships......"

"Ugh." The leader sighed deeply.

"Perhaps......" The assistant's expression was a little hesitant, and finally said the following words: "Maybe we can dismantle the base left over from this sixth-level civilization." Our experts have already assessed that this base is very large and has a lot of material, and if it is dismantled, relying on its quality and the raw materials that come with dismantling it, we can at least allow our civilization to last for another two hundred years. ”

"No, you can't do that." The leader shook his head resolutely: "We can't cut off our own back road. This base is the channel for the connection between this small universe and the large universe left by the unknown sixth-level civilization, if this base is dismantled, with our current technology, it is impossible for us to leave this small universe at all, and what greets us will be 100% death. And if we keep it, we ...... We still have at least one in 10,000 hope of survival. ”

The leader said with a gloomy expression.

The leader couldn't help but recall what happened some time ago.

It was after separating from the Shenzhou civilization, because of the supply spaceship left by the Shenzhou civilization, the Pegasus civilization was able to solve the immediate urgency and regain the ability to sail, so the entire civilization continued to move forward, but I didn't expect that it seemed that the Pegasus civilization suddenly came to operate, and found a relic left by a sixth-level civilization, a small universe, which still has a complete connection and communication with the outside world.

The scientific community of the Pegasus civilization was rejuvenated under the stimulus of this incident, although all the elite scientists were taken away by the previous leaders, and only some less outstanding scientists remained here, but this matter was really too important, they burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm for scientific research, they studied the various characteristics of the small universe in a short time, and speculated on the use of the small universe, and knew the great benefits of the small universe for a civilization.

But the good times didn't last long, and just as the Pegasus civilization was in full swing to study this small universe, they encountered a new enemy. A Junior Level 6 civilization discovered this place and tried to dominate this small universe. Because the technology of this primary sixth-level civilization has not yet developed to the point where it can create a small universe. Such a complete version of the small universe has an irresistible attraction for them.

So they attacked the Pegasus civilization. Even if it is a primary sixth-level civilization, for a fifth-level civilization, it is impossible to resist a powerful existence. The Pegasus civilization suffered serious losses in a hurry, and then fled to the small universe before the civilization was completely wiped out, and closed the connection channel of the small universe, blocking the sixth-level civilization from the outside.

The Pegasus civilization fell from heaven to hell in an instant. It was only at this time that they realized what a wrong behavior they had made if they had not stocked up on a large amount of supplies in the small universe in advance. This small universe is unusually empty, and there is no matter left except for a star and a base. In this situation, it is extremely difficult for the Pegasus civilization to survive even if it is to develop technology.

With that sixth-level civilization waiting outside, the Pegasus civilization can't leave this small universe. Although the sixth-level civilization has issued many announcements of so-called peaceful coexistence, trying to get the Pegasus civilization to open the passage of the small universe, the new leader of the Pegasus civilization understands that this is just a very clumsy deception. To that sixth-level civilization, he was just an ant-like existence, and his own place had obviously angered the other party, so if he left the small universe, he would definitely be crushed to death like an ant. A sixth-level civilization will definitely not have any guilt for destroying a fifth-level civilization.

Not being able to leave the small universe means not being able to get supplies. The inability to obtain supplies means that even if the Pegasus civilization dismantles its base, it will only last for two hundred years, and after two hundred years, the civilization will lose a large number of people. And once the population is reduced to 10% of the current number, the Pegasus civilization will be destroyed.

Fortunately, the Pegasus civilization found that in this base, there is also a communication instrument through space, through which the Pegasus civilization sends the most desperate cry for help to the outside. Although, all intelligent beings in the Pegasus civilization know that this has no effect.

"If a new sixth-level civilization comes here and that sixth-level civilization is wiped out, we can leave this small universe." The leader said gloomily, "And because we haven't offended this new sixth-level civilization, there is a certain chance that they will let us go." It's our only hope for survival......"

At this moment, the leader's heart was full of pain. What a great pain and humiliation for a civilization to place the hope of one's own survival in one's own humility and let the other party disdain to destroy oneself.

"If, after a year, we still haven't encountered a turnaround, and things are still getting worse......" The leader's voice began to become firm: "We will dismantle this base connecting the small universe and the outer space, and use these resources to let the people of our civilization spend two hundred years of abundant materials, even if our civilization is going extinct, we will destroy this small universe, and we will definitely not leave it to the group of demons outside!" ”

The leader knew that the sixth-level civilization outside did not yet have the ability to connect the large and small universes. And destroying the base of the small universe and making the small universe lose its ability to communicate with the outside world means that the small universe has been destroyed.
