Chapter 839: Civilization Potential

PS: Thank you crazy people n for your 2 monthly pass support! Thank you very much!

It is not for nothing that the Mara Star Field was later able to develop into one of the largest civilization gathering belts in the Meteorite Star Sea.

The entire Mara Star Domain Civilization Belt is a very large habitable star belt, with a depth of tens of thousands of light years and a width of more than 3,000 light years, which is a very vast and very suitable development of a huge interstellar space, of which the Mara Star Domain only accounts for less than one percent of this huge habitable star belt.

However, even if the Mara Star Domain is only an insignificant small area compared to the entire habitable galaxy belt, this star field is still quite large, and for an ordinary interstellar civilization, being able to roughly control this interstellar space is enough to meet the development needs of this civilization.

Trying to occupy a wider interstellar space often not only fails to bring them tangible benefits, but is also the source of trouble.

After all, interstellar civilizations like the Mara civilization, although they are already firmly standing at the level of interstellar civilizations, they are not like the three overlord civilizations of the meteorite star sea civilization circle, and they can have their own comprehensive and complete faster-than-light spaceship industrial system, which also makes them dwarfed in terms of innate development potential.

The reason why three such super-sized overlord-level interstellar civilizations can be born in the area of the meteorite Star Sea Civilization Circle is essentially because there is no suppression of cosmic-level civilizations in this sea of stars, and it is easy to fall into a state of disorder, which is not in the interests of ancient civilizations.

Therefore, before the ancient civilization self-destructed, the three overlord civilizations were arranged to dominate the meteorite star sea civilization circle, and finally formed a chaotic but orderly civilization pattern of the meteorite star sea civilization circle.

Although the Arroyo civilization and other three overlords picked up the ready-made bargains under the arrangement of the ancient civilizations, and finally achieved the merits of the civilization overlords, but they can be selected as candidates for the overlord-level civilization, these three civilizations also have considerable potential, and they are the support objects selected by the ancient civilizations after careful selection, so that they can finally be competent for the tasks given to them by the ancient civilizations instead of finally dropping the chain.

It can be said that the rise of these three hegemonic civilizations is an inevitable accident and a product of special circumstances.

And similar to the interstellar civilizations of the Mara civilization, there is a cosmic-level civilization in the big galaxy they came from, and such a behemoth is the real super monster that dominates the galaxy, just the existence of a cosmic-level civilization is enough to establish a perfect and stable civilization order in the entire big galaxy, and no other civilization can get out of the control of the cosmic-level civilization.

In this case, interstellar civilizations that can have their own complete production system for faster-than-light spaceships naturally do not exist in these large galaxies.

Because such an interstellar civilization, although it is not comparable with a cosmic-level civilization in terms of comprehensive strength, a product like a mere faster-than-light spaceship is only a relatively backward product in terms of the product line of a cosmic-level civilization, and it stands to reason that such a civilization should be difficult to bring any substantial threat to the cosmic-level civilization.

But in fact, from the perspective of maintaining the order of civilization, an interstellar civilization with an independent faster-than-light spaceship production system is naturally expansive, and it is naturally able to support other interstellar civilizations.

After all, even if it is a cosmic-level civilization, in order to maintain its advanced civilization and reduce the cost of controlling other civilizations, most of the interstellar civilizations under its control can only buy some faster-than-light spaceships with fairly average performance, and ships similar to those with space-time jump capabilities will not be easily sold to the outside world.

In this case, even an interstellar civilization that can only produce low-level faster-than-light spaceships can actually greatly affect the commercial and political interests of a cosmic-level civilization. Naturally, a cosmic-level technological civilization cannot tolerate such an interstellar civilization bouncing within the range of its own control stick.

Imagine a civilization that can independently produce faster-than-light spaceships, after satisfying its own spaceship needs, will it endure the huge benefits of spacecraft exports, and not export faster-than-light spaceships at all?

This is undoubtedly impossible.

The difference in the generation of science and technology in the era of interstellar civilization is too great, if a spaceship costs one dollar, even if it is sold at a conscience price, it can earn a hundred yuan, and if the market is a little tight, it is common to earn a profit of three or five hundred times.

It can be said that any civilization that has the ability to asset faster-than-light spaceships will not be able to withstand the temptation of such huge profits, to a large extent, doing faster-than-light spaceship trading is really faster than robbery, and there is an endless stream of customers, and there is no business at all.

And for these civilizations, selling the spaceship is still the first step, and with it comes huge political influence.

As long as the civilization that sells the faster-than-light spaceship is willing, even if it is a civilization in the planetary age, they can promote it to an interstellar civilization in the shortest possible time, and for the interstellar civilization that does not have the production capacity of the spaceship, the spaceship manufacturers can easily change the balance of power between these civilizations, and even control the rise and fall of these civilizations to a certain extent.

But as long as they can test this huge influence a little, the interstellar civilization with the production capacity of faster-than-light ships will be able to establish a political, economic, and military alliance with great influence around them, influencing the regional power balance.

Those civilizations that have the ambition and strength to develop a complete production system for faster-than-light spaceships on their own have spent countless years of painstaking efforts for this huge benefit, and finally built their own faster-than-light spacecraft production system with great difficulty, so that they do not use their ability and influence to benefit themselves, which is simply more difficult than not letting rats steal.

However, in a large galaxy with a cosmic-level civilization, once an interstellar civilization of this level appears, it is undoubtedly digging into the corners of the cosmic-level civilization and competing with the cosmic-level civilization for the interests of all aspects, and the cosmic-level civilization will naturally not be able to tolerate such a civilization at all.

Once a cosmic-level civilization takes action, such an interstellar civilization can be said to be extinct overnight, and it will not live long at all.

Therefore, in a large galaxy with the existence of cosmic-level civilizations, other civilizations either do not touch the sensitive nerves of cosmic-level civilizations, or after they have the relevant scientific and technological strength, before the cosmic-level civilization discovers its strength, they will quickly relocate and relocate far away to distant time and space beyond the reach of cosmic-level civilizations, so that they can survive, and even have the possibility of further achieving cosmic-level civilizations in the future.

Of course, the chances of success of an interstellar civilization that can achieve this level are often extremely small, and it is difficult to give birth to one among hundreds of millions of interstellar civilizations. Not to mention that cosmic-level civilizations are all shrewd, and they are not allowed to be born at all, and they are often solved before a civilization has enough strength, and even if some interstellar civilizations can accumulate enough strength under the noses of cosmic-level civilizations, they want to relocate to distant areas that cosmic-level civilizations can't reach, which is often something that can't be done at all.

After all, cosmic-level civilizations are often in the vast space-time of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of light years, and where can a small interstellar civilization have enough strength to relocate to an interstellar deep space zone that cannot be reached by cosmic-level civilizations.

Under various factors, it can be said that in all the large galaxies that have cosmic-level civilizations, there are often no interstellar civilizations that have the ability to build faster-than-light spaceships on their own.

Although the meteorite star sea is a large galaxy, although it is outside the scope of the attention of several cosmic-level civilizations, it is only the most marginal cosmic civilization power radiation area, but after all, there is also the influence of cosmic-level civilizations, although there are a lot of interstellar civilizations that have migrated here in tens of thousands of years, but in fact, there is no civilization with the production capacity of superluminal spaceships, and they also need to buy superluminal spaceships produced by various cosmic-level civilizations.

In this way, although these civilizations are in the shadow of cosmic-level civilizations, they can save their own lives and will not cause the fear and deliberate suppression of cosmic-level civilizations, but the natural development potential of these civilizations is limited.

It is necessary to know that a civilization is also a kind of "living thing" to a certain extent, and the technical knowledge system possessed by the civilization itself is equivalent to the genetic information of a civilization, and the organizational structure of civilization production and so on possessed by this civilization is equivalent to the biological structure of this civilization.

Some civilizations lack technology and are loosely organized, at best they are equivalent to a grasshopper, that is, they enter an area with abundant resources and vast living space, and it is only a grasshopper after all, and it can't grow any big guys, at best, it breeds and breeds more small grasshoppers and wastes valuable survival resources.

The interstellar civilization with a faster-than-light spaceship production system is equivalent to a tiger, once it finds a suitable mountain forest, it can not only grow fat and strong, with the domineering spirit of a king, but also be able to evolve into a monster by chance and enter a higher level of life.

The reason why the same interstellar civilization can have such a huge difference is also because those civilizations that can independently develop and create or purely inherit the technology of faster-than-light spacecraft are in the process of researching and realizing the production system of faster-than-light spacecraft. The organizational model and other aspects have withstood the rigorous test, obtained unprecedented improvement, and then has a greater potential for the development of civilization, even if a civilization occupies a sphere of influence that spans tens of thousands of light years, it can be digested without supporting itself to death.

And the many interstellar civilizations that have migrated to the meteorite star sea for tens of thousands of years, from a certain point of view, they all belong to the "grasshopper" type of civilization, and there is no foundation for infinite expansion of strength at all.

The Mara civilization itself is a relatively weak civilization, its civilization technology level is also limited, and the territory it can eat is also limited, so even if it is like a pie in the sky, it is the first to discover the huge habitable interstellar zone where the Mara Star Domain is located, but in the end, after weighing the pros and cons, it only dares to gnaw on such a piece of fat as the Mara Star Field, and throws out other larger interests to attract the attention and attention of other interstellar civilizations around.

It should be said that the Mara civilization is quite self-aware, and its countermeasures have allowed it to avoid the risks on the cusp of the storm at once, even if other civilizations are extremely envious and jealous of the interests occupied by the Mara civilization, but in the end, there is no big way to do the fait accompli that the Mara civilization has created, and can only focus on the borderless lands around the Mara Star Field.

And although the Mara civilization gave up some benefits that it could not eat in the first place, its gains were undoubtedly greater.

After firmly grasping the Mara Star Field, the Mara civilization not only gained ample room for development, but also gained huge commercial benefits for a long time because the Mara Star Domain was located at the entrance to the entire habitable interstellar zone.

Because of the huge development value and long development history of this habitable interstellar belt, many civilizations have not been able to bypass the existence of the Mara civilization in the development process of this habitable interstellar belt.

Whether it is the material exchange of interstellar waterways, or the huge demand for a large number of various resources, the Mara civilization that has a monopoly has made a lot of money, and the entire Mara star field has been accumulated for countless years, and has become one of the most prosperous star fields in the entire habitable interstellar zone to which it belongs, and the population of the Mara civilization in its heyday has even reached hundreds of times as many as when it first migrated, and its comprehensive strength has become at least thousands of times stronger.

Even back then, because of the discovery of the huge habitable interstellar belt in the Mara Star Field and the surrounding area, the entire meteorite star sea once became the focus of attention of quite a few civilizations with migration needs, and people generally raised their expectations for this meteorite star sea, thinking that a powerful cosmic civilization was born here back then, and after the future redevelopment, the future must be unlimited, even if it is not said to give birth to a powerful cosmic civilization again, but it should be no problem at all to give birth to a group of powerful top-level interstellar civilizations.

Although this star field has been shattered, the continuous discovery of large and small habitable star systems, and even large habitable interstellar belts, undoubtedly indicates that there may be more possibilities for large habitable interstellar belts in this large galaxy.
