Chapter 2 The Fulcrum of Civilization
The natural life planet, even if it is just a natural life planet that only gives birth to paramecium, has a subtle but indeed precious quality that non-living planets do not have: it is naturally suitable for the existence, growth and reproduction of life, and is an indispensable precious resource for the growth and continuation of civilization.
Just like the fertile plains that were in the right dimension during the ancient agricultural civilization and had the characteristics of rain and heat at the same time, such a planet is also a rare core strategic resource for an interstellar civilization, which is related to the survival and death of the civilization, and it is worth investing heavily in it.
Therefore, it is a natural battlefield that triggers confrontation in civilized wars!
If it is within the empire, once such a valuable resource is discovered, whether it will eventually belong to a family under the empire or a national asset belonging to the imperial government, there is no doubt that it will be vigorously exploited by the imperial civilization.
With just an order from the imperial government, countless planetary transformation troops can be dispatched in minutes, whether it is adjusting the orbital parameters of the planet, or improving the material structure of the planet, at any cost, all kinds of means and equipment can be used, as long as it takes less than a month, it can be reborn and become a promising life star that is incomparably suitable for living creatures at any level.
If you are a little more ruthless, it only takes a few months to modify and reproduce a set of vibrant and diverse ecosystem chains covering the planet from outer space, the atmosphere, down to the ocean, the surface, and the underground, and then instilling a large dose of life nutrients, it only takes dozens of days to form a prosperous and lush original ecological star on the basis of the complex and diverse ecological chain.
At that time, you will only see hundreds of millions of living beings on this planet competing to bloom, you will compete for the strong and the weak, as if you have been competing for the inheritance of life for hundreds of millions of years, and there are even countless regular and delicate group memory gathering and migration behaviors that exist at the genetic level and are completely in line with the planetary environment and the laws of life, ensuring that any layman who sets foot for the first time will not see the slightest flaw...... But after all, there are some things that can't be created artificially, and they can't be hidden from the eyes of insiders, but it doesn't matter, and it doesn't hurt the benefits at all.
And even at such a huge cost, the existence of a living planet can still allow investors to make a lot of money, and obtain a brand-new, almost endless new source of wealth, its value is simply immeasurable, and even for the inheritance and continuation of a family, it is of strategic significance.
is such a precious and scarce resource, Sima Mulong actually found more than 10,000, nearly 20,000 in one go!
It is said that such an encounter is undoubtedly extremely envious, jealous and hateful.
The discovery of a living planet is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for a lifetime, and if tens of thousands of living planets are discovered in one go, then it will not immediately reach the top of the ranking of the empire's nouveau riche?
However, this kind of creation, for Sima Mulong, is really a bit unblessed.
These are primitive savage planets that can be described as valuable assets for a civilization, but for Sima Mulong, who fled all the way across a cosmic interface and was alone without the slightest external force, they were completely an out-and-out chicken rib.
After all, he only fled alone, neither with the empire's planet transformation troops, nor the endless manpower support in the empire, so these primitive planets, which numbered more than 10,000, were of no use to him, and he could neither develop them, nor was he willing to waste his precious time here meaninglessly, so there was almost no value at all except for being recorded on the exploration star map and becoming a rudimentary information record that I don't know if I would use it in the future.
After all, the spaceship has traveled all the way, and in this universe alone, it has already crossed thousands of river systems, and on average, a river system is just the discovery of a few planets, and it is not a great resource, a few low-level life planets where birds don't, who would spend so much effort to follow the map and run such a long distance to transform them one by one, there are really such stupid people, and they have long been bankrupt, how can they still have such strength.
It must be known that since Sima Mulong came to this cosmic interface, with the help of the supreme civilization holy weapon inherited from his father, and escaped the pursuit of the Golden Immortal Incarnation, what he really wanted to find was always just a foothold, and only by doing this first would other things be truly meaningful.
It's a pity that it's such a foothold, but it's by no means something that can be filled by any planet, after all, inheriting the civilization heritage of a great civilization, Sima Mulong has the natural mission of recreating a great civilization, and the ancestral star of a great civilization is not something that can be afforded by casually transforming the planet, there must be great luck and great achievements!
After all, if you want to achieve a great civilization, even if you have all kinds of supernormal means that can be used, a solid and stable foundation is still indispensable!
Some of the barbaric planets that only gave birth to a few primitive microorganisms are just some life stars at best, and it is difficult for them to enter Sima Mulong's eyes at all, and they are even more embarrassed to take on heavy responsibilities, they simply cannot be the fulcrum of civilization that carries all Sima Mulong's ambitions and hopes.
In terms of real standards, in addition to the many mysterious selection criteria, this planet that Sima Mulong has been tirelessly looking for must first be an independent civilization planet!
A civilization star that gave birth to a carbon-based civilization and developed independently.
To be honest, this requirement is too high, taking the cosmic level where the Canglan civilization is located, as one of the best civilization overlords among the known civilizations in the star field, in the more than 200 million years of civilization history since its written records, there are millions of known civilization systems recorded, and even if it is measured by the most extensive planetary general standards, the original home planets that gave birth to these civilization systems, and the existence that can reach the civilization star standard can only be said to be very rare, and the total number is only tens of thousands.
The civilizations bred by these planets, all of which did not suffer an unexpected fall in the early stage of civilization, have all advanced into galactic civilizations, which are completely different from ordinary primitive civilization systems.
In other words, the existence of the Civilization Star itself represents a great luck, which is rare, cherish the abnormal!
Of course, such a treasure of civilization is not something that any civilization can use, if it is not used properly, it may be the end of a violent thing, not only can not enjoy the slightest benefit, but also greatly consume the national strength, not to mention, but also damage their own luck, so that after a long time in the end, the chicken and eggs are beaten, and even their own civilization is also a common thing in the starry sky, which is not surprising.
According to the common standards of the known universe, there are four levels of conventional planets: resource stars, life stars, ecological stars, and civilization stars.
The so-called resource stars are the vast majority of natural planetary planets, they do not have the innate conditions for life to be conceived and born, most of them only have the fate of self-destruction in the endless sea of stars, and a few are discovered and used by civilizations to mine some rare mineral deposits and the like, in terms of the strategic territory of interstellar civilization, they are usually worthless existences and not worth mentioning.
The life star is another level, their number is only less than one hundred million of the resource star, and they naturally have an excellent environment for nurturing natural life: with suitable lighting, atmosphere, planetary magnetic field, etc., it is usually an ideal administrative star, which can give birth to hundreds of millions of life forms.
The most valuable point of a life star is not this excellent natural environment, but their real value is the life population that it brings.
Let's not talk about the existence of genes of a unique life form that is independent of the sea of stars, which is independent of the sea of stars, and the existence of its genes has such valuable scientific research value.
How many lives are born naturally on the life star, which is a sign of how much luck exists, and this type of life star, because it does not have a complete life circle, let alone the existence of intelligent life and even the existence of civilization, is a natural tonic for civilization, and there is no need to worry about indigestion or bad luck, as long as you eat it, you can increase part of the potential of civilization and increase the survivability of civilization.
Ecological stars are large life stars, they have a certain degree of life chain, have more valuable strategic value, and are often the fuse of the war for the birth of civilization.
And the civilization star, that is the spokesperson of a new interstellar civilization, its preciousness is indescribable in words, the Vongar galaxy of the Canglan civilization, in the hands of the empire for tens of millions of years, has never been developed on a large scale, but as a place of cultivation of civilization potential, to a certain extent, it is to cultivate a civilization star that can be integrated into the imperial system.
The importance of this primitive civilization star is as strong as the coveted by the Canglan Empire, and you can imagine how precious it is.
From this, it is not difficult to imagine why Sima Mulong has wandered in the sea of stars for tens of thousands of years, but he has never been able to achieve his wish.
Under the scrutiny of such strict standards, in addition to the embarrassing task of the life star that occupies 90% of the awakening times, the remaining 10% of the awakening times, and the place where life reproduces, also have their own unsatisfactory fatal flaws, and none of them are satisfactory.
Either there are xenogeneous civilization planets with life structures completely different from carbon-based life, or civilization countries that have reached a certain height in the process of civilization.
The Canglan-Tianxian Empire is certainly a great cultivation civilization with an extraordinary civilization heritage, but after all, it is only an evolutionary path based on carbon-based life, and there are not many achievements worth boasting about for those different civilizations, trying to control and develop such a civilization is undoubtedly doing a thankless stupid thing for Sima Mulong, who is trying to re-establish a great cultivation civilization, and the wise do not do it.
