Chapter 518: The Dilemma and Hope of the Shepherd's Civilization

The principle of the Sky Delivery Gate is to warp space, send static spacecraft out at ultra-high speeds, and also intercept high-speed space warp targets.

In other words, ships traveling through the space mezzanine will be filtered out of the space mezzanine by the Heavenly Portal, and all speed will be eliminated.

As long as it can be aimed at the gate of heaven, the faster-than-light spacecraft does not need to slow down in advance, and the spacecraft will be directly stopped, which can save a lot of time.

And when setting off, with the help of the acceleration of the heavenly door, the effect of entering the space mezzanine in one second can be realized, which can also save a lot of time and energy.

But Jupiter is not good at industrial construction, even the key components of this heavenly gate are shipped, but there are still a large number of parts that he needs to make from scratch.

The whole work has to start with prospecting, then mining, smelting, and forging, and the most important thing is that this is the territory of the herdsman civilization, and the planet with the richest resources cannot be touched.

Jupiter can only find resources from celestial bodies such as asteroids and meteorites.

The Tree Shepherd's system does not have a rich asteroid belt that appears to have formed after the disintegration of the planets, like the solar system where the blue star is located.

The meteorites in this galaxy are small and scattered, and they are not large-scale at all, and it is not easy to find an iron mine, but it has not been mined yet, so it has been hollowed out.

If it is hollowed out, it can only be searched for new meteorites, which is too time-consuming, and the lack of resources has led to the construction of the Heavenly Gate not at all.

Jupiter has the heart to negotiate with the tree herders to open up a few mines to himself, but this gang of wood is really worthy of the plant system, and the outstanding one is a desireless and unwanted.

Nothing but a strong demand for live slugs.

The shepherds do not eat and only drink water, they have no need for clothing, they do not have the desire of normal animals, they are just planting trees, planting trees, planting trees.

Because of the need to plant trees, the herders pay special attention to the environment, and the mining of minerals itself is a serious damage to the environment, and once these minerals are mined, it means that heavy metals are turned over from the ground to the surface.

No matter how advanced the extraction technology is, heavy metal pollution is inevitable and can cause serious and long-lasting damage to forests.

Jupiter knew from the beginning that mining ore on planets wouldn't work, so he didn't have the idea of discussing it with the shepherds.

It's a pity that Jupiter doesn't look at the name with a wooden character, but he didn't master Mu Dun, otherwise he could fool these big tree stumps.

For example, after mining, the mine was completely leveled with the Birth of the Wood Escape, and then all the big trees spawned by the chakra were pushed to death, and the corpses of the big trees were used to form new soil and completely buried the mine.

The heavy metals have been dug up, and the new thick fertile soil has been covered, and the regrown trees will definitely be more lush.

In this way, it is still possible to convince the shepherds.

It's a pity.

In fact, Jupiter's thoughts are not right, it is a miscalculation caused by insufficient intelligence.

First of all, the big trees grazing by the herders are not ordinary trees at all, but extraordinary plants with source energy, otherwise these trees would not be so difficult to reproduce.

For these extraordinary plants, the fertility of the soil does not make much of a difference, but the presence or absence of heavy metals in the soil does.

Once heavy metals are absorbed too much, they will interfere with the operation and generation of source energy, and the tree will become weakened, which will lead to a decline in source energy production, and eventually lead to the death of the tree.

Secondly, the shepherd itself is a peculiar life, they are not plants, let alone intelligent tree life.

The essence of the shepherd is a source energy being, and the source energy produced by extraordinary plants penetrates into the ground and combines with lava minerals to become a source energy life that is neither a plant nor a silicon-based.

Under the influence of source energy, the lava body of source energy life gave birth to a neural response that uses electromagnetic signal exchange as a way of information storage and exchange, and after a long period of gestation, it finally developed intelligence.

With wisdom, the source energy life becomes a shepherd.

Tree pastors need to consume source energy to think and move, so they must obtain more source energy, which must be planted with more transcendent plants.

When the number of herders increases, the scale of the forest expands, and the supply of source energy is abundant, the ideological resonance emitted by the shepherds will be born, and then a fixed proportion of elements will be ingested in the lava, forming a super-large-scale real body.

This super-large-scale real body is an ancient tree-level shepherd.

Therefore, each ancient tree is not grown up by basic tree herders, but a common consciousness body born under the influence of the common consciousness of many tree herders and brought together through resonance.

In other words, the ancient tree is more like the god of the shepherd, the product of the manifestation of the god of faith.

The ancient trees need metal elements to manifest themselves, and they hate it when heavy metals are polluted to the surface, because this will cause large swaths of the forest to weaken and wither.

However, the ancient tree cannot accept these resources being taken from the ground, because these metals are the foundation of the ancient tree's real body, or the protein of the ancient tree's real body.

……

While Jupiter was working hard to mine resources to build the Heavenly Gate, Baoshu, who was concentrating on the study of new trees, felt an abnormal aura that disturbed him.

He found the Ancient War Tree and asked, "War, do you feel this abnormal breath?" ”

The Ancient Tree of War nodded and said, "It's true that there is some information, but I don't feel clear, but ......"

The surface of War's body was covered with scaly bark, and he raised a finger to the starry sky and said, "I can feel it, it's coming from this direction." ”

Baoshu looked at the finger of the war and saw a very ordinary star, he felt it carefully, nodded and confirmed: "That's right, it's this direction, it's this star." ”

The orange-yellow crystalline eyes of the war were full of indescribable meaning, and he said with certainty: "It's the direction where the living slugs and the human are coming, is it...... The breath of death of the Otsuki clan. ”

Baoshu also nodded slowly.

Slow-paced herders certainly have their own specialty, which is the unrivalled finesse of their memory. Even after tens of thousands of years, the two participants can still clearly recall the situation after the two large barrels were killed.

After the death of the two large barrels, a powerful aura was emitted, allowing the two tree herders who dispatched the real body at that time to confirm that the two villains had been killed by them.

The shepherds, whose bodies are spread out on the ground with a diameter of nearly 1,000 kilometers, are really too large, and their senses are also of the same size, and what they can really see is actually the Ten Tails.

The shepherd couldn't see the big barrel of wood that was only about two meters tall, and it was completely relying on the opponent's aura to cover the attack.

People can't see it, let alone a diamond-shaped wedge less than ten centimeters long, and the two shepherds still don't know what the wedge with a strong message looks like.

But they remembered the wedge's breath of sending intelligence, just as they felt today.

The War Ancient Tree smiled and said: "The Zhou civilization behind the live slugs killed a big barrel of wood, well, they are still very powerful, they will not disappear so easily, we should communicate with them more." ”

"yes, really, it looks like we won't be able to get slugs in a thousand years." Baoshu sighed leisurely, "There are still many years to wait. ”

The war was happy, and he couldn't help but say: "It's rare to see the ancient tree in a hurry, but you have never been in a hurry, it seems that your attention to slugs is far beyond our imagination." ”

"Yes, the more I study the new trees, the more important I feel about slugs, those newly sprouted small trees not only exude normal source energy, but also give birth to new powers, and even a new condensation trend has appeared in the source energy."

The treasure tree's jade-like eyes shone with a glint of hope, and he said to the war: "Although we don't know what kind of power it is, it must be able to perfectly integrate with the source energy and adapt to the new energy of the shepherd." ”

The ancient tree of war stood up suddenly, his whole body shook off I don't know how many pine needles were gone, his orange eyes shone brightly, and he opened his mouth but was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Baoshu stretched out his hand and patted the body of the war, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's a dream that we have been guessing for countless years, but we don't know how to realize it. ”

"New strength, new development...... And new partners. ”

There are two problems that plague the herdsman's civilization, how to develop next, and how to increase the membership of the civilization.

The problem of development is ostensibly the limit of the current tree planting, and the entire herder civilization is trapped in this galaxy because of this, and cannot develop outward.

For tens of thousands of years, the herders have been in their own galaxy, watching countless civilizations soar from their own galaxy to the sea of stars.

Although these civilizations eventually declined and collapsed, the herdsman civilization that is as stable as an old dog still exists steadily, and it seems that the state of the herder civilization is quite good.

But the Six Ancient Trees naturally knew that it was very dangerous for the Tree Shepherd Civilization to be trapped in a galaxy for a long time, and it would not be able to develop and progress at all.

Because the Orcs are improving.

Although the progress of the Oaks is extremely weak, although their development is stumbling and completely in the hands of the ancient tree, they are still making progress after all.

It has been more than 10,000 years since the birth of the youngest Theocratic Ancient Tree, how do they not know the horror of time, as long as there is progress, one day the Oak will catch up with the tree herdsman.

The Oaks are not outsiders like the Big Barrel, but a race that accompanies the Shepherds, and once they develop to the point where they can be a threat, they are the henchmen of the Tree Shepherds' civilization.

Therefore, the ancient tree of theocracy is called theocracy, and his duty is to promote religion in the Oaks, so as to limit the upper limit of the development of the Oaks.

But this is not safe, the best way is for the herdsman civilization itself to continue to progress, and it cannot simply expand the scope of existence, to develop upward, to progress, to become stronger!

This is the bottom stagnation of the development of the herdsman's civilization, tens of thousands of years ago or hundreds of thousands of years ago, he was so powerful at the beginning of the birth of the treasure tree, and today he is still so strong, and the youngest treasure tree is not inferior to him.

It is said that the upper limit of the power of the Shepherd civilization is stuck, and it may not have grown for a full 100,000 years from the beginning of its birth to the present.

Even if the time rhythm of the immortal species is very slow, the feeling of complete stagnation is unacceptable.

Live slugs have lived for thousands of years, and they have not grown for thousands of years before, so they can be distressed and lose their appetite, and the delicious trees are eaten less, and the woods of the wet bone forest are dense.

In order to seek a breakthrough, the living slug took the initiative to contact the Thousand Hands Clan and began to have activities in the ninja world, until she signed a contract with the oil girl Tetsumaru and finally ushered in a new growth.

The strength of the Treasure Tree has been stagnant for much longer than that of a slug, and the efforts made are naturally too many to count, except for the two ancient trees of War and Wisdom, the other three ancient trees were all cultivated by the Treasure Tree.

But since 10,000 years ago, the expansion of tree planting has reached its limit, and new ancient trees have no signs of being born, and this road is stuck.

After that, the War Ancient Tree worked hard to develop the War Tree Human System, which was also the result of Baoshu's full support behind it, which can be said to be a remarkable achievement, but this only supplemented the combat power at the bottom.

In this world where supernatural power is rampant, for the special power structure of the Shepherd civilization, the War Tree Man does not contribute to the increase in the upper limit of civilization power.

The members of the civilization are also a major hidden danger in the hearts of the ancient trees, and the herdsman civilization seems to have many members, hundreds of millions of tree herders, as well as six ancient trees, and the number of green oaks raised is too many to count.

But in fact, the ancient trees in the herders are not the same thing as the bottom layer, and the bottom tree pastors do have a certain amount of intelligence, but the base of the plant determines that their information exchange speed is too slow.

Every time a shepherd thinks in the sky, the magnitude of this kind of thinking is particularly low, in fact, it is just a thought, if it is replaced by a human being, there can be more than ten times to dozens of times the amount of thinking per second.

There is no way, this is determined by the physiological structure of the plant.

However, there is no mental communication between plants such as telepathy, and they communicate through sounds, chemical pheromones, and colors, which is infinitely slow.

If it weren't for the ability to communicate the metallic lava masses in the earth's mantle through source energy, form electrical signal feedback, and store and exchange information, the herder civilization would not have been born at all.

It was only after the ancient tree of the Treasure Tree gave birth to self-consciousness and wisdom from the electrical signals of the lava mass, the first truly intelligent tree herder was born, and the tree herder civilization was born at the same time.

The members of the Tree Herder civilization actually only have six ancient trees, and the tree herders at the bottom are more like parts of their flesh, or ordinary ants in an anthill.

There is no limit to the lifespan of ancient trees, but they do die, such as the Abyssal Ancient Tree that fell during a forest disease.

Therefore, the birth of a new ancient tree is by no means the birth of a new hero or leader for the herdsman civilization, but the addition of one-sixth of the members, which increases the confidence of the civilization to survive.

The emotions of the war ancient tree cannot be calmed down for a long time, which is also the fact that the emotions and thinking of the herders are extremely stable, and the judgments made about the things decided will not change easily, and at the same time, their emotions are extremely difficult to change.

Like the war ancient tree just now, his emotions jumped to the level of extreme excitement, and he was afraid that he would not be able to speak for seven or eight days, and it would be difficult to really calm down in a few months.

This is also because the War Ancient Tree is the second ancient tree, which is older, stronger, and more emotionally stable, that is, it is so excited that it can't speak.

Replaced by the youngest Theocratic Ancient Tree, he was so excited that his body overheated and spontaneously combusted, and finally his body burned to death, and he had to change his body again.

In fact, even Baoshu himself couldn't slow down his excitement for a few days, so he didn't dare to report the information to several other ancient trees.
