Chapter 392: Granite and the Director
It's hard for granites to really die, but their endless growth will slow down their minds, and they will gradually lose their ability to respond to the outside world over time;
When they find that their thinking activity has reached the middle and late stages, the old granites with huge bodies will find a favorite place to sit quietly, and then gradually lose their external and self-perception in the continuous growth;
Eventually, they will irreversibly move towards spiritual extinction, becoming 'them', into real mountains.
As the place where civilization began, I don't know how many granites that were about to end their lives in the Origin Star, and the majestic mountains that can be seen everywhere here seem to show these years and past.
But for the granite civilization, the mountains of the end are both a graveyard of life and a place of rebirth, and the speed of birth is much faster than that of the original natural conception
It is true that these mountains will gradually become one with the earth in the years to come, but before that there will be all kinds of new life born from the bodies of the old granite, and experience another wave of birth before their minds come to a standstill;
Then, the spiritually extinguished mountain will completely return to the earth, and the speed at which it will be born will also change to the natural pattern, and it will continue to be conceived in a slow and random way.
Among them, there are innate intelligent people who may be classified as 'granite people', while those who have no intelligence but instinct are roughly equivalent to the concept of beasts or plants.
Today, the 'granite people', the spirit of all things in the granite creatures, have been able to rely on self-developed or foreign scientific and technological power to travel tens of billions of kilometers, hundreds of billions of kilometers, and even light years of long distances in spaceships, and take the initiative to survive in those large and small stars full of poisonous gas and venom;
If possible, they will be more inclined to modify the local astral environment, and there are indeed many stars in the territory at this time that have a livable and comfortable environment like the origin star in their transformation.
However, since coming into contact with the rest of the civilizations in the river system, the granites have come to realize the variable nature of 'habitability', and not all life is able to adapt to the environment of the origin star.
Therefore, when they took out a loan to buy a wormhole and started a business route, they transformed the open commercial star according to the most common livable standards;
Even if it is not actually suitable for them to live in, in order to attract more caravans to their foreign communication window, they have still carried out a transformation that can be called 'reverse' for them;
And the result, in fact, there are three aspects of good, medium and bad.
On the bright side, the opened wormhole commercial stars have indeed begun to become prosperous, and have fed back a lot of material or non-material nutrients for the civilization itself;
The relatively neutral side lies in the fact that the granite people's own adaptation to the commercial star environment and the alien caravan's inadaptability to the traditional granite star environment allow the high-level civilization to effectively curb the indiscriminate inflow of foreign ideas, so that it can maintain the stability of the fluctuation of the internal ideology of the civilization to a certain extent.
On the downside, there are no permanent Granite people other than the public garrison and clerks, making it difficult for the civilization to truly control the details of events on the commercial planet;
As a result, it was quietly dyed with a layer of black and gray in the early and middle periods, and finally developed the situation to this point in a series of complex causal connections.
~~~~~~~
Unlike the commercial stars, where they need to consider the feelings of foreign merchants, the granites located in the hinterland of civilization still live in the environment they have adapted to since ancient times, and enjoy the feeling of being able to come and go freely without the assistance of technology.
Most of the asteroid cities in its hinterland are actually built based on the origin star;
From the granite themselves, these cities may have their own obvious stylistic differences, but most aliens are either indifferent or sensory differences, and they are not very able to appreciate this;
In their view, almost all of the astral cities in the heart of the granite have a similar appearance, generally composed of crystalline quicksand oceans, an atmosphere also rich in crystalline sand, and cold rocks at the bottom;
These grains of sand formed into the ocean and enriched in the atmosphere are somewhat similar to the usefulness of liquid water and oxygen for carbon-based life in the granite civilization, which is simple or complex, and is also an important material resource on which they depend.
In the hinterland of civilization, some of the stars that are far away from the stars and have not naturally possessed such an environment are located in megacities with planets as units;
A large number of granite intelligent life and a greater number of local characteristic rock-like species have survived countless years from scratch, from primitive to civilized, in an area where there are few outsiders to disturb even after the wormhole is opened.
Years ago, the cooperation with the Shattered Star Army had caused some waves here, but after all, it had nothing to do with ordinary granes, and most of the time everyone was still living as usual;
It wasn't until the intrusion of the legion's branch fleet not long ago that it seemed to pour hot oil into cold water and set off waves in the sky, making this long-lost and reluctant star field usher in a huge change;
And later, when the Legion Commander himself arrived, the situation became even more out of control.
~~~~~~~~
Within 1 light-year of the Origin Star and its surrounding planetary urban agglomeration, several outer space observatories disguised as asteroids were fortunately preserved;
It may not be a bad idea to say that it is an observatory, but if it can be more accurately described, these 'asteroids' themselves are a collection of granite life or several granite life;
These rocky creatures, which don't seem to be very afraid of radiation, are wrapped in scientific instruments and float in the long vacuum as a ship.
In fact, in the early days, the structure of this mode was also the main basic unit of the Granite Civilization Space Fleet, and it was with this that they developed the initial parent star system in the long years before joining the Council.
However, when the civilization was discovered by the expedition and reported to the Council, they officially came into contact with the outside galaxy and discovered that the Granite spacecraft was flawed compared to the mainstream in terms of strength and speed;
Therefore, on the one hand, they still retain the continuous improvement of their own traditional model, and on the other hand, they also actively introduce other spaceships through outsourcing and other means, and start a groping development in the following period.
To this day, although limited by the lack of capabilities and insufficient development time at many technical levels, the granite body spacecraft is still incapable of long-distance navigation under the spacing of star systems, but its advantages in star camouflage and other aspects have been deeply excavated;
With the unique physical properties of granite life, such a ship can even fool the surveillance of many higher civilizations, and then mix with its interception like a real rock asteroid or meteorite.
But unfortunately, the Legion is not included in such a foolish situation, and the 'fluke' in the current situation is just what they think is it
In fact, the White Crystal fleet on this side had already known about their existence, but they just ignored it for some side considerations.
~~~~~~~
Under the suppression of the Legion's strength, the rest of the voices belonging to the granite civilization in the surrounding airspace have disappeared, leaving only these few camouflaged asteroids floating alone in different regions;
The granes, who have a total of less than a dozen inside and outside, really hate the legion and the deep humiliation it has brought them at this moment, but under the ability gap, they can only hide themselves with nervousness and anxiety, and at the same time pray for the ultimate reversal that is actually extremely unlikely.
After the large-scale fighting was over, these drifting observatories began to carefully scout the surrounding situation, but their exploration behavior was as blatant and dazzling in the eyes of the Legion's reconnaissance department as the lights that were suddenly lit in the dark.
In the midst of such multiple frustrations caused by information and technological suppression, these observatories observed the trajectory of the alien transition relatively intensively and suddenly from a short interval starting from a certain time.
Although they themselves knew very well, it was more likely that this was a trajectory message sent by an enemy ship, because they simply did not have a ship capable of performing a jump at such a speed, and it was impossible for them to break through to this point under the surveillance of the Legion in that direction;
But the only glimmer of hope in their hearts was ignited, and they had never looked forward to the help of powerful heroes as much as they did now, and they expected the lone army of justice that was 'specialty' of a strong civilization to appear at this moment.
But in any case, these stone people who implied anticipation were disappointed after all
The person who came on this trip may indeed be 'super' enough in a sense, but his words and deeds have nothing to do with the expected hero;
To put it more clearly, it is more suitable for appearing as a villain in the story of Galaxy Heroes
~~~~~~~~
At a distance of about a hundred Earth-Moon distances from the Granite Origin Star, the Legion Director with four membranous wings will exit the transition state and present his form in a vacuum;
In the surrounding airspace where it stood, there were several planets that together made up the granite capital city agglomeration, and at this time, all of them were clearly watching the colossal coercion of the director.
The four wings fluttered slightly behind him, and although there was no wind in the vacuum in the general sense, it was still able to gallop in such an environment without the help of any external medium.
In just a few light hours, it traveled nearly 40,000 kilometers like an illusion, and reached the orbit of the origin star in a seemingly slow and urgent manner.
Subsequently, although it did not make any substantial movements, the atmosphere on the surface of the star, which reflected the illusionary brilliance due to the presence of crystalline particles, began to vibrate violently when the director reached 300,000 kilometers;
As if attracted by large celestial bodies, endless gases and crystalline particles continue to converge towards their location, as if they are being siphoned, forming hundreds of thousands of kilometers of dust columns, like tentacles extending outward from the planet's own body;
Immediately, the Director voluntarily accepted the gravitational pull of the Origin Star, and continued to descend in silence
The sea of sand began to converge towards this hemisphere, forming a super tide covering millions of square kilometers, while in the other hemisphere, the sea of sand grains descended hundreds of meters out of thin air.
At the same time, geological activity that had not been seen for many years began to brew again, as if some large celestial body had abruptly approached the side of the origin star, leaving it in a state of restlessness from the core to the earth's crust.
The natural disasters caused by the individual affected the entire star in only a short period of time, causing great losses to the granite city that is closely integrated with the earth's crust.
As for the intelligent or non-intelligent granes that survive in the astral bodies, if it were not for the fact that they already have life forms that are almost indistinguishable from rocks, they would have suffered heavy losses in such a concentrated special disaster;
But fortunately, they are unique enough, so they are able to maintain the situation that they are just ruined at the moment.
But seeing that the crypts were buried, the mountain areas were collapsing, and the unknown stone pillars that towered towards the sky on the plains were also breaking one by one, and seeing many strange rock lifeforms, large and small, broke out of the ruins, and then ran around with an expression that could not be confirmed by outsiders.
Looking at the director at this moment, his body has fallen into the interior of the atmosphere, and the huge light generated by friction completely envelops his body, but it does not seem to wear or burn it even an inch.
~~~~~~~~
As the main body continued to fall, nearly a million square kilometers of gas and fine dust were pushed away, and then indirectly affected the high-altitude environment of an area hundreds of times larger.
Such power and influence have created countless majestic cyclones on the other side of the star, making them continue to ravage the long-unknown climate of the eight directions.
At the bottom of the earth, when its body was still tens of thousands of meters apart, it began to form a depression, and when it finally abruptly stopped in the air thousands of meters above the ground, a crater-shaped structure with a diameter of several thousand meters and a depth of hundreds of meters appeared directly below.
So, the Director, who was accustomed to keeping his slick state, stood alone in the clouds undamaged, unable to make out where his eyes were, but the three crystalline rings around his head seemed to be scanning his surroundings.
Wherever his line of sight passed, there was a powerful stone polymer hundreds of kilometers high, either towering on the earth or suspended in the air, and they did not necessarily have to be 'human' type, they were the most powerful combat force group on the origin star at this moment.
These granes, who have not yet ushered in the end of their demise, are at the prime of their spirits at the moment, and they have armed themselves to the teeth with various equipment, and they have met them with extremely complicated emotions.
