The ancient saints, the star gods, the fears of the dead.

Their stories were long and long, and Shen Sen could glimpse the magnificence that was enough to fill half of the galaxy with just a quick glance.

However, those were already in the past, and they were very far away from the stars and him, and only the ruins they left behind in time and space made Shen Sen suddenly realize that maybe the distance between the stars and them was not as far away as he imagined.

"Creatures named the Ancient Sages created the web, and the fragments of the Star God contributed to the birth of the planet Pandora......"

Shen Sen touched these dozen words, but what he felt was a boundless sense of history and more and more confusion.

The power of the subspace network is visible to the naked eye, not to mention anything else, the ability to open up access to other worlds and reduce the interstellar journey that would otherwise take tens or even hundreds of thousands of light years to reach by a few times, which is enough to be called a weapon in the interstellar age.

It is precisely because of this ability that the Ancient Saints were able to rule the vast galaxy at the very beginning, defeating countless enemies.

With such a powerful technological creation, it stands to reason that the victor would use it as a trophy, but he didn't find any information from the Star God Fragment about what happened to the network after the defeat of the ancient saint.

On the contrary, I don't know how many years have passed, and it has quietly fallen into the hands of a human being.

Although Shen Sen didn't know what was going on, no matter how he looked at it, it was a matter worth pursuing.

In addition to this, he wanted to know if the ancient saints who once dominated the galaxy, the race of death-dreaders who turned into space necromancers, and the powerful star gods who turned into fragments still existed?

If so, where are they?

If not, did they leave any planetary ruins behind?

However, no one told Shen Sen the answer to all this, and he needed to explore them one by one.

Now he can learn about these historical secrets thanks to this star god fragment on the planet Pandora.

Thinking of this, Shen Sen finally disconnected from the Tree of Souls and ended his influence and control over the planet Pandora.

"The Führer......?" Seeing Shen Sen's movement, Cato, the psyker, showed a sense of exploration in his eyes.

"Well, we made it!"

Shen Sen gave the other party an affirmative answer. Cato's expression instantly became excited and joyful.

"Congratulations to the Führer, congratulations to the Empire!"

"It's a great thing to congratulate."

Shen Sen looked at the Soul Tree in front of him with palpitations.

His eyes seemed to be able to see through the outermost layers of colorful vegetation, through the solid crust, and deep into the mantle to see the true face of the Na'vi deity Ava.

It was a scarlet of creatures large enough to envelop the slow earth, made of extremely pure, uncanny energy.

The energy it unconsciously emitted caused the Earth's core to turn into hot magma, causing a vortex of energy on Pandora and the mountain peaks rising into the sky.

Its original network of consciousness affected the ecosystem of Pandora through particles, allowing them to generate neural network systems that could be connected to each other.

As mentioned before, the creatures of Pandora will throw their souls into Ava's arms when they die, but now it seems that it is only a residual instinctive effect, and the star gods who have been reduced to pieces still like to enjoy the electromagnetic reactions generated by the thoughts of creatures. And at the same time, it uses the new ecology to absorb a steady stream of stellar energy.

In nature, in addition to the external ecology, Pandora is more like a combination of intelligent storage equipment and discharge equipment.

Since its birth, it has been absorbing energy from the stars every day, turning it into bioenergy stored in trillions of vegetation, which has reached a very high level over time.

That's why Old Man Li asserted that although Pandora is small in size, the energy burst can cause a supernova explosion.

If it's just reserve energy, it's not terrible, it's scary that it also comes with an output-only device.

The combination of superconducting ores buried in the mountains and trillions of plant ecosystems creates a perfectly circulating energy output device.

Whether it is the fleet of the Star Empire or the fleet of the RDA, it can only be crushed.

Fortunately, it really didn't understand the psionic power as Cato guessed, so Shen Sen found an opportunity to use the telecast and the thought seal to successfully control the neural network of the entire planet.

Therefore, now whether it is from the material level or from the consciousness level, the planet Pandora completely belongs to the Star Empire.

What's more, when Shen Sen took full control of the planet Pandora, he found that he had almost become the "god" of the planet.

The use of energy and magnetic fields allows him to have complete control over every inch of the planet.

The wind and rain are fierce, the lightning is thundering, the mountains are valleys, the valleys are mountains, all of them are in his thoughts.

He can even use Pandora as a space fortress, using the local circular ecology to fire a steady stream of energy cannonballs. Or drive native creatures to fight bravely.

Because of this discovery, the importance of Pandora Planet in Shen Sen's heart was undoubtedly elevated to a very high position.

Compared with the Wandering Earth, Pandora is simply a planetary warship that does not need to be modified, has a complete ecological circulation system, and is self-sufficient in energy.

With it, it is enough to be worthy of dozens or even hundreds of fleets under the current technological level of the Star Empire.

Moreover, after controlling the Soul Tree, Shen Sen also possessed the ability to upload and download its consciousness aggregate. It seems to be very helpful for the study of being an avatar.

All in all, this adventure is not only not to lose, but to gain a lot.

Shen Sen looked around, and when he was sure that it was correct, he decided to retreat first, and when he went back, he planned well and officially developed the planet Pandora.

Of course, before leaving, he also needs to deal with several "guests" who have ventured into the territory of the stars.

With a wave of his hand, Shen Sen casually waved his hand, and an incomparably large space-time passage appeared near the Soul Tree, and slowly devoured the team of Star Psionic Beings in front of it.

At this time, in orbit on the planet Pandora, a space shuttle has just returned to the spacecraft.

The two pilots took what they had seen and reported it to the captain of the spacecraft.

"Sent successfully!"

On the bridge of the spaceship, the captain looked at the prompt information on the screen, and finally showed a rare smile.

"Okay, I've reported the matter of the hell gate base to the home planet, and now except for the rotating personnel, everyone has begun to sleep, waiting for the arrival of the home planet's rescuers."

However, at this moment, a huge black crack suddenly appeared beneath the starship.

The people on the starship were stunned when they saw this black crack that suddenly appeared, this was the first time they had seen such a situation.

Rift in time and space? Or is it some cosmic phenomenon they don't know about?

The starship captain came back to his senses and immediately ordered: "Get out of the orbit of Pandora immediately!" ”

Although he didn't know what the hell it was, it didn't stop him from running first.

Buzzing!

As soon as the words ended, with a loud bang, several battleships armed to the teeth landed around the starship like dumplings, surrounded them, and then disappeared together into the deep and dark passage.

After solving a series of things on the planet Pandora, the Star Empire is like a machine that has been replenished with energy, and it is back on the normal track of development again.

The next thing no longer needs Shen Sen to worry about and command, and it can be handed over to the huge public organization and military team of the stars.

It is foreseeable that in the future, a steady stream of large-scale construction machinery will pour into the world of Pandora through hundreds or thousands of space-time channels to mine the planet's unique superconducting ore at room temperature, and transform it into the appearance needed by the Star Empire.

As for the local natives, the Na'vi, who survived the disaster, if they are willing to coexist peacefully, the Star Empire will naturally give them the normal treatment of their citizens, demarcate residential areas for them, build hospitals and school canteens and shops, and ensure their right to live.

If they are obsessed and unwilling to live in harmony, Shen Sen will give a small punishment and a severe punishment to some Na'vi people, so that they know how to obey the laws of the Star Empire.

As for whether such an act is just, whether it is contrary to the concept of human morality, and whether it is an act of aggression that wantonly tramples on other races.

When the Star Empire entered the interstellar age and the social trend of thought also changed, the discussion on this aspect gradually came to a conclusion.

That is, to give priority to ensuring the development of one's own civilization, and on this basis, to consider the existence of other civilizations.

The universe is vast and unknown, and any person, on a clear and moonless night, in a place suitable for stargazing, will always think about it.

Some people are moved by the magnificence of the starry sky, some are shocked by the vastness of the universe, and some people will have a sense of crisis from the depths of their souls, and then their minds will open up for a while.

Everyone has their own feelings, and most physicists don't feel that there are intelligent beings in other worlds like ours.

If there was no space-time passage, Shen Sen would definitely have doubts about this issue.

Just like the Earth in the previous life, the starry night sky looks spectacular, and humans can see about 2,500 stars on the best night for stargazing.

That's about 1/100 million of the stars in the Milky Way.

The vast majority of these 2,500 stars are less than 1,000 light-years away, about one hundredth of the diameter of the Milky Way.

When discussing stars and galaxies, one question that can tease almost all human nerves is: "Is there intelligent life beyond Earth?" ”

Although there are 100 billion to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way, there are almost the same number of galaxies in the observable universe.

Basically, it can be said that every grain of sand on Earth corresponds to 10,000 stars.

The scientific community is still inconclusive as to how many stars are similar to the Sun, with the usual view being 5 to 20 percent.

Even with the most conservative estimates, there are almost 5x10^20 stars that resemble the Sun.

According to the adaptability of human beings to the living environment, the scientists of the Star Empire speculate that at least 1% of the stars in the universe have a planet similar to the earth, that is, there are 10^20 planets similar to the earth. One grain of sand corresponds to 100 earths.

Extrapolating further, let's assume that over billions of years, 1% of these Earth-like planets will have life.

Suppose that 1% of the planets where life has occurred have developed Earth-like intelligence.

This means that there are one hundred trillion intelligent civilizations in the observable universe.

Such a huge number, placed in a galaxy, means that there may be 1 billion habitable planets and 100,000 intelligent civilizations.

If there were 100,000 intelligent civilizations in the galaxy where the parent star was located, even if only a small percentage of them emitted radio waves or laser beams or other contact signals, the satellite arrays scattered across the four worlds of the Star Empire would receive a variety of signals.

But up to now, although the Star Empire has five worlds and various alien creatures, it still has not actively observed other civilizations.

So at this time, the question arises, where did they all go?

And that's not the weirdest part.

The star systems in several worlds of the Star Empire are all very young stars, which means that there are terrestrial planets that are much older than Blue Star and Fantasy World, and theoretically their civilization level should be far more developed than the natives.

A civilization that is a thousand years ahead of the curve can shock mankind in the same way that the current world of the stars can shock a primitive man.

When the scale of time reaches millions, or even billions of years, this gap is a little terrifying.

So far, the Empire of Stars has seen or heard nothing in the region of the five home planets, and has never actively contacted any alien civilization.

New worlds and extraterrestrial civilizations are derived from the role of subspace networks.

Therefore, in response to this question, some researchers of the Star Empire believe that it is because of the technical reasons of the Star Empire that they cannot observe each other at present. Some people believe that the technology is actually up to the level of observation, but it is disturbed by some kind of factor, which makes it impossible for the Empire of Stars to observe.

This factor is the big filter.

The Great Filter Theory holds that in the process of the development of living civilization to the second and third levels of civilization, there is a wall that almost all civilizations will collide with, and this wall is an extremely difficult or even impossible stage in the long evolutionary process, and this stage is the Great Filter.

Assuming that the Great Filter theory is correct, the scientists of the Star Empire have come up with the most probable speculation based on the existing information, ruling out multiple possibilities.

That is, the development of the Star Empire has already encountered a filter, but they didn't expect that the Führer had the shortcut of the space-time channel, and then easily jumped over it.

Therefore, for the Star Empire, every planet and every civilization today is endless. Only by ensuring one's own development can one have the ability and qualification to consider the survival of other civilizations.
