After Ruan Lin shouted these words, the group of intelligent creatures scattered until they formed a circle.

Only one intelligent creature stayed in the center of the circle, and he didn't even have a chance to move.

The next moment, he raised his head, his eyes mixed with unwillingness and fear.

Ruan Lin recognized him at a glance, he was the first member of the Wanderer Civilization to come out of the building.

Ruan Lin's tone was not polite: "You are the leader of the Wanderer Civilization, right?" ”

The tentacles on his face trembled: "Yes, noble strange civilization, my name is No. 1." ”

Ruan Lin didn't look directly at No. 1, he looked left and right, and looked at the members of civilization on both sides, they lowered their heads, not daring to look at Ruan Lin.

Ruan Lin didn't want to waste time with No. 1, he asked directly: "What kind of hatred does your civilization have with the Yuanguang civilization that can prompt you to destroy their entire civilization?" ”

Ruan Lin was extremely curious about this question, the Yuanguang civilization couldn't even build ships, how did they form a bond with the wanderer civilization?

Or do they really just happen to pass by and want to destroy all intelligent civilizations?

One said slowly: "You have mastered our language, the wanderer is the meaning of our entire civilization, we have no name, each member of the civilization only has its own code name. ”

"Our civilization has left our home planet after mastering the technology of building ships. We don't have a permanent home, the whole fleet is our home. ”

Ruan Lin scolded loudly: "I'll let you answer my question, repeat it again, what do you have to do with Yuanguang Civilization?" ”

No. 1 didn't dare to look directly at Ruan Lin: "Before we arrived at this star array, we didn't know that there was another civilization here. ”

The star train is the galaxy in their dictionary.

"Our fleet is in dire need of supplies, and the remaining fuel will not be enough to support us on our next voyage. We began to negotiate with this civilization, but they did not agree to our request for supplies, and they even asked us to leave this array. ”

Speaking of excitement, he couldn't help but raise his head: "After many failed negotiations, we decided to start a war, and if we can't effectively supply here, our branch will be completely wiped out."

They are so stupid that the entire civilization does not even have ships, and I don't understand now, why would they dare to refuse the request of a higher civilization? We lost only 620 ships and 40,000 members of civilization in this war, and then we were victorious. ”

Ruan Lin does not deny his words, there is no right or wrong here:

If my fleet is short of fuel and can't sail to the next star system, if the High Beam civilization refuses my request for supplies, or even tells me to get out of their star system, I'll be kind enough to persuade them to stay tough, then it's only war.

Even if you don't start a war, choose to forgive them.

Even if you can endure this breath, go to the outer comet rings to catch stars to replenish fuel.

But this is too imbecile to be acceptable to any intelligent creature with a brain, which will inevitably cause the loss of the ship, and it will take too long to decompose and refine the matter inside.

No matter how many robots I can control, there are only a few large stars in the comet ring, and I have to replenish the fuel of more than 200,000 ships, which is like taking a drop of water from a basin of water, and then decomposing and refining this droplet, and finally fueling a controlled nuclear fusion engine!

Therefore, they cannot refuse, and they have no right to refuse, and cannons and giant ships are always the most powerful illustration.

Ruan Lin continued to ask: "I have a general understanding of what happened, what do you mean by branching?" ”

One replied, "After we built the ships, the whole civilization was divided into more than a hundred branches, and even if one branch was destroyed, our entire civilization could still continue." ”

Ruan Lin didn't even know what kind of mentality he had in mind when he said these words. In this war, their own losses were almost negligible, and they lost at least a million members of civilization and all their ships.

Now, it is undoubtedly the end of their branch, but they are to blame.

If they don't build a laser turret and take the initiative to send a friendly message, Ruan Lin will also consider talking to them.

Ruan Lin narrowed the distance between himself and One: "That is, you are a group of displaced intelligent creatures, you have no planet to live on, and you have to spend the rest of your life in a corpse carrier called a ship?" ”

One retorted: "When we were still on our home planet, our wise man, Zero, believed that staying on one planet would only limit the development of a civilization, and I believe that your civilization has a similar theory, which is a form of transition from a lower civilization to a higher civilization, an evolution, or a necessary path of development. ”

"Our entire civilization has followed his proposal, and as you can see, we are the thirtieth branch of civilization."

Ruan Lin felt that if he was the leader of the United Earth Era, it would be extremely sad to make this decision.

When a civilization has developed to a certain extent, it chooses to disperse its own members of civilization and break it into parts, so that it will not be "wiped out" in conflicts with other civilizations.

In fact, this was already manifested in the age of the earth: the group charge was replaced by a skirmish line to avoid the destruction of artillery and machine guns.

However, they will never be able to achieve the energy supply and living space comparable to the home planet, which means that the number of individuals is not enough to support the development of civilization, and their outcome is nothing more than two: find a new suitable planet to settle and develop into a new civilization; Disappear on their own while wandering or be wiped out by encountering other civilizations.

Hoping that civilization will continue to develop to new heights during the trip is nothing but wishful thinking.

Ruan Lin said silently in his heart: Of course, except for the infinite multiplication type of civilization, there is no need to consider the number of civilization members and the various needs of civilization members.

I am civilization, and civilization is me.

Ruan Lin turned his back and walked towards the Titan: "I don't intend to continue to hold you accountable, the price you have paid is enough. ”

"As you said, you've been thinking about this day for a long time, haven't you?"
