Chapter 7: About the Shikishiro
The number of stars in the Milky Way is between 100 billion and 400 billion, and the number of planets is simply unmeasurable because they don't emit light.
With so many stars, since they can give birth to the earth, it makes sense to give birth to a second living planet, right?
In fact, it's not just the earthlings who think so, but the Shixing people also think this way.
Shixing is a terrestrial planet in the constellation Aquila, but the living environment of this planet is much worse than that of Earth, because their sun is a red dwarf star, and the spectral type is K5, and they call their sun Suoxing, which means "cradle of life" in Shixing civilization.
For those who don't study the constellations, hearing about Aquila may feel a little unfamiliar, or they may only hear its name but not know where it is.
It is located just around the ecliptic, south of the constellation Lyra and north of the constellation Sagittarius from Earth.
The Milky Way is called the Milky Way because when we look at it at night, we can see a belt of stars, which specifically resembles a large river.
Most of the stars in the constellation Aquila are located within this great river.
There is another star in Scorpio that the descendants of China are particularly familiar with, and that is the Cowherd Star.
When it comes to the Cowherd Star, most people who have observed the star should know where it is located.
The legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl comes from an article by Liang Yinyun of the Southern Dynasty, which is a romantic love, but the Cowherd Star as a star is not romantic at all, at least for the Shixing people, it is terrible.
Scientists estimate that in about 100,000 years, the star will be captured by the Cowherd star and become the companion star of the Cowherd, where the human beings on the star will be completely destroyed.
Shixing does not have satellites, but because of the existence of the Cowherd Star, their night is not dark at all, which is probably the only benefit that the Cowherd Star brings to them.
Shixing is a planet with a very harsh living environment, and it is a miracle that this planet can give birth to life.
The star is very close to the Sun, so it is also locked by the star like the Earth is locked to the Moon, one side of it is always facing the Sun, and the other side of it is always in the state of night (just because of the Cowherd, the night is not dark for about half of the time).
In such a harsh environment, it is said that it is absolutely impossible for a star to give birth to life, but the miracle of life lies in this, which can always turn decay into magic.
Because Soxing is a red dwarf star that has entered old age, its magnetic field activity is getting weaker and weaker, and high-energy radiation is becoming less and less, which provides a stable environment for the growth of organisms.
The only drawback is that the air here is relatively thin, oxygen is only 1/2 of the earth's oxygen content, and the rest is a large amount of carbon dioxide, accounting for 80%, and a small amount of nitrogen and some of its rare gases.
The star is slightly larger than the Earth, 1.6 times the size of the Earth, and on the star, the position where the sun is directly illuminated is not inhabited by humans, covering an area of about 10,000 square kilometers.
The back side of the star is rarely inhabited because it does not see sunlight for many years, and a large number of people mainly live in the black and white border area of the star.
Because of the harsh environment of Shixing, the local people have been eager to go to space from a very early age, looking for a new home that is more suitable for their survival, so their space civilization has been developing in a deformed way, and it is many times better than its other technologies.
Because of the harsh environment here, in order to lock in the moisture in their bodies, they are born without sweat glands, and the leather armor they shed can not only protect against cold, but also insulate heat.
The land resources on the star are relatively tight, which leads to the human beings on the planet, and the war between different countries has been fighting for many years, until they have a strong leader, this situation is finally broken, and the star has ushered in a high-speed civilization era of peaceful reunification and great development.
The language on the stars is dominated by conciseness and conciseness, and this conciseness is also reflected in their names, which often have only one word and no surname.
Their social relations are not based on family bonds, but on the basis of the group, similar to the social life of bees and ants, the difference is that they do not resemble the existence of ants and queens, and each human in the group bears the responsibility of producing offspring.
They do not have a marriage contract, there is no such concept as husband and wife, but when they want to have children, they look for the opposite sex according to their personal preferences, and the man will leave when the woman is pregnant, and the work of raising the baby is generally the collective responsibility of the woman's ethnic group.
Of course, there is also a sex life that is not for the purpose of procreation, everyone will have their favorite opposite sex or even the same sex, and everyone will choose to live together because of similar interests, which is very common, but there is no contract between them in the legal sense.
Because of the harsh environment, their fertility rate has not been high, so their government has encouraged childbearing for many years, and even enshrined childbearing into law, requiring women to have at least one baby before the age of 20.
Women are weak for a while after giving birth, which is the only reason why individual women are reluctant to have children.
As for parenting pressure, that is non-existent, the vast majority of babies are not raised by their biological parents, and the mother's only right to her children is to give them a name.
The name of the star can be inherited, for example, after a woman gives birth to a baby, in order to commemorate the child's blood father, she often likes to give the child his father's name.
When two people with the same name meet, in order to distinguish them, they usually use the number of wrinkles on their faces and the grade of their leather armor.
Because the wrinkles on their faces are like the rings of a big tree, and from the second year of birth, they grow one every year.
And the leather armor they shed will also become stronger and stronger with age, and according to their sturdiness, a hierarchy has gradually evolved, and the leather armor level is from one to one hundred, and there is no upper limit.
For example, two are called "swords", one is 20 years old, the other is 33 years old, when they collide together, one is called "twenty swords", the other is called "thirty-three swords", if two "swords" of the same age meet, then it is called "seventy-seven swords" and "seventy-eight swords", the age and leather armor level are all the same, it can't be said that there is no, very little, and it takes a lot of luck to bump together.
The weapons of the Stars are mainly ray-based, which is a high-temperature energy beam, similar to a laser, and there are hand-held ray guns and large-caliber ray cannons, and their ray weapons can be used directly in space.
In addition to the ray guns, they find themselves with an even more powerful weapon for earthlings, which is infrasound.
For human beings on earth, sound below 20 Hz belongs to infrasound, and the resistance of human beings to infrasound is very weak.
Because various organs in the human body can also emit infrasound waves, when the infrasound waves in the outside world and the infrasound waves in the body resonate, the human organs will be injured, and even easily cause death.
In the process of human experiments, they found that as long as they spoke in front of the earthlings, they would cause the earthlings to be depressed, look painful, and even dizzy and nauseous, and finally coma.
This makes them realize that they have an innate advantage over the earthlings, and even if they don't do anything, they only need to speak softly to kill the earthlings.
Their shipborne armament is mainly divided into two sets, including a defensive system and an attack system.
In terms of defense system, they are deeply affected by their own environment, and have developed a highly defensive energy shield, which can not only resist all kinds of natural disasters on the planet, but also resist solar flares and solar winds, and have a strong defensive effect on all kinds of radiation and energy weapons.
In terms of attack system, their main weapon is the shaped cannon that can easily destroy an asteroid, and combined with the extremely penetrating death ray, it is enough to ensure that they are invincible in space.
In terms of personal strength, the Shikoshi showed the ultimate spear and shield, and everyone was desperately trying to build super armor, while frantically exercising the sharpness of their hands, in order to use their finger swords to directly pierce the enemy's leather armor, and at the same time use their own leather armor to defend against the enemy's stabbing.
On the basis of spears and shields, they will be assisted by strength and speed.
After the starmen came to the earth, they first secretly tested the power of the earthlings' weapons, and they found that the ammunition called the armor-piercing bullet was extremely powerful, and the leather armor defense was below level 70 and could not be stopped.
There are also mutated beasts of earthlings, which can also pose a threat to them.
Of course, their ray weapons are also very powerful, even an ordinary ray gun is enough to kill any creature on the earth in an instant, and the rate of fire of the ray weapon is amazing, as long as it is aimed, it is impossible for the enemy to dodge.
The Shixing people secretly conducted live experiments on humans on the moon for two months, not only understanding the structure of human bodies, but also developing translation tools that can communicate with humans normally.
After they thought they were ready, they finally decided to show up and make contact with the humans of Earth.
The spaceship of the Shixing people is huge, if they come to the sky above the capital division of the Qianghan Kingdom, it is enough to cover the entire city, such a huge spaceship, which makes their internal social relations extremely complicated, and their reactions to the earthlings are also different.
The commander-in-chief of this giant spaceship is called 98 Jiagang, and his constraints on his subordinates are very relaxed, he has only one goal, as long as there is one result, that is, to obtain the parallel space technology of the earthlings, as for how his subordinates achieve this goal, he doesn't care.
So when the Shikoshi held a military meeting, many people decided to act alone in their own way.
But the order of action needs to be discussed, and if the hardliners give priority to the war and annoy the earthlings, then it is impossible for the moderates to make peace with the earth.
In this regard, 98 Jiagang made instructions, by the moderates to take the lead in sending people to contact the earthlings, a time limit of one month, if the moderates can win, the task is completed, and then they will decide how to act next according to the reaction of the earthlings, if the moderates have not got the technology after a month, then the task will be completed by the hardliners.
There were also disagreements within the moderates, so they had to go their own way, and everyone landed on Earth in three ways.
The first is the hardliners among the moderates, who do not approve of large-scale warfare, but believe in their own individuals and decide to forcibly seize parallel space technology by personal force.
The second way is the technocracy, they discovered the powerful power of infrasonic waves on earthlings, and decided to use infrasonic waves to control earthlings, and let earthlings take parallel space technology by themselves.
The third way is the mildest, they decide that fair trade is the most reasonable, and they decide to trade technology for technology.
