Lin Shu spread his hands and smiled harmlessly: "I don't think we need to be so tense, in fact, we don't have any bad intentions towards you and your spaceship." ”

Chandus also grinned, Lin Shu felt that this man was still very attractive when he smiled, and it seemed that this captain was not simple.

"Yes, I think so, and I think it's hard for us to pose any threat to either of you. ”

Lin Shu nodded generously: "Although it may make you a little unpleasant, but the captain's judgment is consistent with the facts, and it is not difficult for us to restrain you." ”

Chandes smiled bitterly, and the faces of the men and women behind him were naturally a little ugly, and strong hostility and unwillingness flashed in their eyes.

Chandus turned his head to look, pointed to a pavilion-like building on the side, and said, "We might as well sit down there and talk." ”

"Good!"

Lin Shu nodded, turned around and walked towards the pavilion very naturally, there were wooden tables and chairs in the pavilion, which looked a little dilapidated, obviously not in place, and Lin Shu found that the magic array under the ground here was not fully operational, from the beginning of approaching this spaceship, Lin Shu and Ao Yun were using various methods to observe the inside and outside of this spaceship.

This spaceship represents a new kind of magic system, Lin Shu and Ao Yun both agree that this magic system is somewhat similar to the three-dimensional core magic system developed by Xuanmen, and further, there are sophisticated microstructures, which Lin Shu speculates are likely to be spontaneously formed in the form of derivative assimilation, which is already similar to the self-diffusion formation that Lin Shu is studying.

From here, it can be seen that the level of this magical civilization in front of us is quite high, and the development of microstructures is a step. Magical civilization has entered a vast and boundless realm. The extent to which magic items and magic circles can be achieved depends only on imagination and the ability to realize. and no longer limited by the theory of magic.

It can be said that this is already an advanced form of magic civilization, as for the soul aspect, it is difficult for Lin Shu to make a conclusion now, judging from these people in front of him, the soul level of these people is equivalent to the external sense stage, compared to the known magic civilization, their soul strength is already quite good. But compared with Xuanmen, the degree is quite limited.

This may be that the exploration of the soul of the magic civilization is inherently limited, and the main reason is that the level of magic energy is slightly lower, and it is difficult to use magic energy to promote soul cultivation, and people who give up magic energy to concentrate on soul cultivation will naturally be eliminated by powerful magicians who concentrate on cultivating magic energy, which is the foundation of civilization determines the height of civilization.

Chandes naturally didn't know that the person in front of him had already seen his own depth almost as well, and perhaps the only thing that confused Lin Shu was the flight control system of this spaceship, which was a completely different system, and it would be difficult for Lin Shu to understand this control system for a while.

Chandus smiled and sat down. Flipping his hand and taking out a set of cups from the storage bracelet on his wrist, Lin Shu smiled. He wasn't surprised that the other party had a storage method, if not, Lin Shu was surprised, and the civilization that could enter the subspace level to fly didn't have space storage props, wouldn't it be funny to say.

Lin Shu laughed at those cups, no matter what civilization always likes to drink something, and the drinks seem to be very exquisite, and the style is almost the same.

This civilization seems to worship polyhedra, in the form of cups and teapots, not smooth surfaces, but polyhedra made up of a large number of faces, which, illuminated by the light, reflect the light of the stars.

Lin Shu and Ao Yun watched curiously as Chandis prepared drinks, and the combatants who followed Chandis were distributed around the pavilion, faintly encircling, Lin Shu turned his head to look at the surrounding environment and found a lot of surveillance devices, perhaps, his communication with Chandis was being broadcast live by the whole ship.

"We call this 'tea', I don't know if you are used to drinking it, but it is actually the leaves of some plants, and then after some processing. ”

Chandes smiled and put the two cups of tea in front of Lin Shu and Ao Yun, Ao Yun reached out and picked it up, put it under his nose and sniffed, nodded and said: "It's very fragrant, we also have tea, although the origin of our civilization may be very different, but the similarity of civilizations is sometimes really amazing." ”

Chands smiled and nodded: "Regarding this, our scholars in the First Republic have a saying, called the theory of civilization diffusion, this theory believes that civilizations will spread in various forms, and the civilizations of a galaxy are likely to have a high degree of similarity, and even civilizations across galaxies will have certain similarities, but the forms of diffusion may be varied, such as falling foreign objects, artificial diffusion, unconscious diffusion, and so on. ”

Lin Shu took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes and felt it, this tea had no effect on himself, it seemed that it could also stimulate the activity of the true element, Lin Shu speculated that this stimulating effect on the magic energy was stronger.

Chandis looked at Lin Shu curiously, seeing that Lin Shu had no reaction, he believed a little more in Lin Shu's self-proclaimed strength level, you must know that this is not ordinary tea, but the best tea called boiling tea, this thing can instantly stimulate the magic energy in the body, and the magic energy in his body will fluctuate when he drinks it, and the one in front of him has no fluctuation at all, unless he has no magic energy at all, but obviously this is impossible.

Ao Yun also took a sip, but naturally there was no reaction, but he praised the tea, and Chandes quickly turned his mind in his heart, it seems that he should be able to determine that these two people are high-level powerhouses, in the past, when the First Republic was strong, super-level powerhouses were not uncommon, according to records, on every inhabited planet, there will be one or two powerhouses up to the twelfth order, and it is said that the strongest combat power of the Republic is the supreme powerhouse of the fourteenth order.

However, that is already a glorious past, the highest combat power on this lucky spaceship used to be the eleventh order, but he has long been ancient, after that, there are only two strongest tenth-order powerhouses left, and now among the combatants standing around the pavilion, there are these two people, and Lin Shu obviously did not take these two tenth-order powerhouses in his eyes.

"It's an interesting theory, though, I'm more interested in what the captain said about the First Republic, can you tell us a little bit about the First Republic and everything about it, I think your civilization should be in the middle of the galaxy. ”

Chandes nodded, and then his face was a little heavy: "Yes, the origin of the First Republic is about thirty million years ago."

"So short?"

Chandes was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ao Yun with some puzzlement, Ao Yun didn't intend to explain, Chandes had to continue: "One and a half million years ago, the planetary system after the end of the Great Catastrophe reappeared with advanced life. ”

"The Great Holocaust?!"

This time it was Lin Shu who was asking, and Chandes nodded vigorously: "Yes, the Great Catastrophe." According to scholars' research, about 200 million to 400 million years ago, the central part of the galaxy will erupt into a strong energy storm, and the reason is unknown. These energy storms will destroy most of the planetary systems in close proximity, while those at far range may be spared, depending on the distance to the center of the galaxy and the presence of obstructions in the storm's path. ”

Lin Shu glanced at Ao Yun in surprise, and Chandis subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, as if after seeing Lin Shu's surprised appearance, the pressure brought by Lin Shu's strength in his heart was also reduced a little.

"You're saying that civilizations in the center of the galaxy are destroyed every 200 million to 400 million years?"

"Yes. ”

"On what basis is this conclusion, if the planetary system is destroyed, it is unlikely that higher life will appear again in such a short time, right? ”

"No, that's okay, the energy transfer in the middle of the galaxy will be much faster than in the periphery, that is, the nebula will gather and shape much faster, and in addition, the so-called destruction is not necessarily completely destroyed, some are just destroyed, to varying degrees. ”

The look on Lin Shu's face was very surprised: "So, isn't it that in the central part of the galaxy, even time will be faster?"

"Of course, you can think of it the same way, but let's express this phenomenon in terms of average energy density, and from another point of view, a higher average energy density will also bring benefits such as an increase in cultivation speed. Therefore, during the First Republic, everyone wanted to move to a planet closer to the center of the galaxy, but at that time, people did not know that the better the road, the more dangerous it was. ”

Looking at Chand's heavy expression, Lin Shu and Ao Yun both guessed something.

Chandes glanced up at Lin Shu and nodded: "The two of you may have guessed, that's right, we have personally experienced a great catastrophe, according to the most recent records, the so-called great catastrophe is an unbalanced burst of energy in the center of the galaxy, the intensity of the eruption is uneven in all directions, and the speed is also fast and slow, but the initial eruption was within two hours, destroying about 10% The speed of the planetary systems began to decrease in the area of the galaxy, which is why we were able to escape, but only the initial eruptions, which lasted for tens of thousands of years. Almost all of the inhabitants have been destroyed, as people are always migrating to the inner layers. ”

Chand's words fell, and the surroundings fell silent, and Lin Shu could hear everyone's heavy breathing, remembering the situation at that time, everyone must have been a little heavy.

"When was that?"

"A million years ago!"

"So, your civilization lasted less than half a million years before it was devastated?"

"That's right!"

"And then, what about the million years? Your civilization seems to have developed."

"It's very disappointing, isn't it? Because we are constantly scattering and escaping, constantly looking for the planet and then desperately throwing away the bottles and cans before the energy tide arrives, plus the population is not only not increasing but always decreasing, there is no population base, it is impossible to go further on the basis of the original civilization, on the contrary, the gradual degradation is bothering us, presumably the two of you have discovered that this huge spaceship now has less than 5,000 people, at the beginning, there were nearly a million people. ”

"For what?"

Ao Yun didn't hesitate to tear open Chand's bloody wounds.

"Because there is no hope!" (To be continued......)
