A living planet located on the Southern Cross of the Milky Way.
The dawn of science and technology has pierced the long darkness, and the civilization of this planet has entered a stage of rapid development. In more than a hundred years, they have moved from human and animal power to mechanical electricity, and from the age of cold weapons to hot weapons. The times are also accompanied by wars that become more and more terrible each time.
For more than a hundred years, all the countries on this planet have either been at war or preparing for war.
Since the Second World War, peace has only been maintained for more than 20 years. The war between the two major alliances of the East and the West has broken out again. Cities were bombed into ruins, farmland was burned, and countless soldiers and civilians died.
Especially in the second year of the war, both the East and the West developed nuclear weapons one after another, and an even more terrifying nuclear war came.
The war only lasted for three years. The death toll of this civilization has exceeded 500 million, accounting for one-eighth of the total world population. Every month, several nuclear bombs land around the world, erupting with dazzling light from hell. .
The war has gradually evolved into an unprecedented massacre. No one is the winner of the war. However, until now, the two major alliances on both sides have been unable to dismount. After all, no one wants to take the initiative to show weakness until now. , losing everything, like two strong men desperately stabbing each other with knives, waiting for who can't hold on first.
According to the normal development process, this world war may continue for several months to half a year until one side completely collapses.
But a message from extraterrestrial civilization made this peace come ahead of schedule. All countries were panicked, and the war could no longer continue.
Soldiers on the front line were quickly recalled. At the same time, the heads of major countries also lowered their guard and began to meet frequently to exchange opinions with each other. If this message proves to be true, it means that they will completely lose their home planet. Compared with this, this war for the hegemony of the home star is undoubtedly absurd and ironic.
This is a sensational demolition notice from an extraterrestrial civilization:
"Respected natives of the CA80800087 star system."
I regret to inform you that your galaxy is unfortunately located at the node of the interstellar highway and has been identified by the Supreme Academy of Sciences of mankind as having the potential to interfere with the operation of the interstellar gate. In order to ensure the normal operation of the interstellar highway and improve the traffic conditions of the entire galaxy, With the official approval of the human empire government, our department decided to destroy this galaxy.
As for you, the natives of the CA80800087 star system, we have entrusted a third party, the nearby Ryder civilization, to assist in relocating to the CA80800134 star system a hundred light years away in five years, and will provide certain compensation. If it causes you any inconvenience Sorry for the inconvenience.
hereby notified
Human Empire Hope City Stargate Construction Engineering Corporation Demolition Department
July 21, Human Era 4335"
The content of the message was so mind-numbing and shuddering that it was also so absurd. But this is definitely not a prank by someone or a certain peace organization, because this message appears directly in everyone's mind. There are billions of people in the entire civilization, without exception. Extraterrestrial civilizations that can achieve this ability will naturally be destroyed. The power of an entire civilization.
They are still just a backward civilization that can only wallow in their home planet. Faced with such behemoths wandering in the star sea, and even powerful civilizations that are preparing to build interstellar highways, they are as weak as ants, which makes people uninterested. Resisting the thought, all they can do is accept their fate.
However, the emergence of this extraterrestrial civilization incident also made the post-war countries feel the crisis of racial survival for the first time. Under this pressure, their differences were quickly eliminated. After countless negotiations and compromises, three years later, Instead, the civilization of this planet was unified after the war.
…
Five years later, a huge fleet arrived as scheduled and overwhelmed the entire galaxy.
"Masters from a powerful civilization, as a backward and humble person, we are very grateful for your assistance. We can only see an inch away, but we never knew that there are so many civilizations in this galaxy, and we have never heard of a great and righteous man like Ryder. Civilization, ever since we heard the news from the human empire, we have been uneasy and worried about the future of civilization. We urgently want to know the situation in this galaxy and what kind of civilization human beings are. Can you provide us with an answer?" The first head of state of this civilization solemnly received the officials from Ryder civilization, and at the banquet, he asked cautiously.
The official of Ryder civilization looked at him arrogantly. Seeing that this backward and barbaric civilization had privately donated a lot of precious metals, he said lightly: "I know what a civilization like you wants to know most? In fact, you also Don’t worry, this universe is too vast and most star systems cannot give birth to life. For a civilization like ours, there is no need to worry about resource constraints on the development of civilization for a long time. Therefore, overall, this galaxy It is peaceful. As long as the distance between the two is not too close, no civilization will go to war with a backward civilization like yours!"
"As for the Human Empire!" When he said this, his face became a little solemn, and he subconsciously lowered his voice and said: "In fact, we don't know much about this powerful civilization. This civilization is quite mysterious. We have never known it before. This is unheard of. The reason why we are assisting you in relocating this time is also because we have received this message from civilization!”
"How is it possible? You are so powerful. How is it possible that there is a civilization that can send information to your brains without anyone noticing!" The leader of the civilization said a little gaffe. According to what the other party said before, he knew that they came from a distance from here. It only took more than ten years to get here in the star field of more than 3,000 light-years. This means that the speed of their battleships is at least three hundred times the speed of light. This is as incredible as a myth. However, facing this mysterious human empire, the powerful Ryder civilization in their eyes seems to be equally small.
"But that's the fact! Maybe in their eyes, there is no fundamental difference between us and you." Perhaps because he felt the same way, the Ryder official looked at this backward and civilized head of state and couldn't help but be pleased with him. He sighed, Shaking his head: "Based on this civilization's behavior, we speculate that this may already be the most powerful civilization in this galaxy, a super civilization!"
After all, the interstellar lightspeed highway that humans are about to build can shorten the scale of the Milky Way to just a few clicks. This not only improves transportation in the Milky Way, but also means aiming the muzzle at the doorsteps of various civilizations. Without the strength to overwhelm all civilizations in the galaxy, there is no need to even think about it.
ps: It’s almost over, there are still two chapters left.
