The Thorne galaxy is extremely large, but also chaotic.
More than a thousand years ago, before the Human Legion crossed the Greenwich Meteorite Belt and entered the Northern Alpha Galaxy, the Thorne Galaxy was still one of the most prosperous star systems in the vicinity. In this huge star system, there are more than a dozen planets suitable for the survival of silicon-based organisms, as well as a large number of planets with abundant resources. At its peak, this star system was inhabited by "silicon people" from hundreds of races, and the resources produced were exported to hundreds of star systems.
The war a thousand years ago not only ended the prosperity of the Thorne galaxy, but also changed the fate of hundreds of billions of silicon people.
Although the Thorne galaxy was not attacked during the "Peace Dawn" campaign, before the human army entered the northern Alpha galaxy, the Emperor decided to adopt a defensive tactic of stiff walls and clear fields, destroying a hundred near the "Kuhn-Barion Fortress". All star systems within a light-year range. As a result, in a very short period of time, the silicon people in these star systems were forced to leave their homes and go to neighboring star systems.
At that time, there were hundreds of billions of silicon people entering the Thorne galaxy, almost ten times as many as the original inhabitants.
Obviously, even if the Thorne galaxy has more than a dozen environmentally suitable planets, there are still many resources to support so many silicon people.
In fact, this is just the beginning.
Although the two sides signed an armistice shortly after the end of the "Peace Dawn" campaign, and the Fifth Greenwich War was officially over, hundreds of star systems near the fortress had been destroyed, and even the Emperor of War could not restore these star systems. The original look. In addition, the Silicon Magic Alliance is composed of various populations, each of which has its own homeland and regards homeland as everything. In other words, no population is willing to share home with other populations. There is a war emperor in charge of the overall situation, the problem is not serious, after all, war kings of various species dare not go against the wishes of the war emperor. The problem is that the King of War disappeared shortly after the end of the war, and it was the top War King who took over the Silicon Magic Alliance. Obviously, the top warlord does not have the prestige of the warlord, and it is impossible to let all warlords follow their orders like the warlord. The result of this is that the refugees who were in the Thorne system during the war have not been properly settled. Although some refugees thought to leave the Thorne galaxy, most of them had nowhere to go. Obviously, the resources of the Thorne galaxy are not enough to sustain hundreds of billions of silicon people. After just a few hundred years, the resources of the Thorne galaxy were exhausted.
The current Thorne galaxy does not have the prosperous scene more than a thousand years ago.
More than a dozen environmentally suitable planets have been devastated, and several giant planets have also been over-exploited, two of which have been severely shrunk. In addition, there are several resource-based planets that have suffered extinction due to over-exploitation, and they shattered into countless small celestial bodies after the gravitational field collapsed.
Measured by the survival standards of silicon-based organisms, this is a barren star system, and there is almost no place for silicon-based organisms to survive.
It's just that it's not deserted here.
On those more than ten highly-developed planets, there are still some silicon people who have survived tenaciously. It's just that it's not on the ground, but underground. Because the resources on the planet have long been exploited, even the resources in the earth's core are no exception, so the earth's cores of these planets have already cooled down, and the geomagnetic field has also disappeared. Without the protection of the geomagnetic field, it is impossible to resist stellar storms from main sequence stars. Not only will the planet’s atmosphere be extinct, any objects exposed on the surface will be destroyed, and no creature can survive under stellar storms. Only hiding in the ground can use the crust to resist stellar storms and avoid the rapid loss of heat energy.
You know, on a planet whose core has cooled, heat energy is the most precious.
This is especially true for silicon-based organisms.
In fact, the key for these silicon people to survive in this barren land is not to live underground, but to primitive energy, that is, the large primitive energy converters in these planets.
After Curia arrived, he gave Yang Yi a detailed introduction to the conditions of the Thorne galaxy, especially the conditions of the planets.
Because it far exceeds the number of people that the environment can withstand, coupled with the devastating overexploitation of resources, Kutum abandoned the Thorne system hundreds of years ago. The problem is that even if Kutum is the top warlord, he can't say to persuade his warlord to accept the inhabitants of the Thorne galaxy. The point is that among the hundreds of billions of silicon people in the Thorne galaxy, about half, that is, about 300 billion silicon people, lost all their homes in the Fifth Greenwich War. Obviously, other races are obviously unwilling to accept foreign war refugees. Besides, there are big differences between different races in terms of living habits, survival methods, etc. Even the top warlord cannot allow different races to coexist peacefully.
There is no other choice, Kutum can only spend a lot of resources on transforming the Thorne galaxy, to be precise, the dozen or so planets inhabited by the Silicon Man.
In fact, the transformation method is very simple.
First, the planets are hollowed out, leaving only tens of kilometers thick crust, so as to obtain the resources in the planet's mantle and core, and these resources are enough to allow the silicon people on these planets to survive for thousands of years. Next, it is necessary to provide this completely enclosed world with an energy source that can work continuously and stably, that is, a large primary energy converter placed in the center of the planet. Because there is primal energy everywhere in the universe, so long as the primordial energy converter is still running, the energy source will continuously provide energy for this enclosed world, such as maintaining a sufficiently high temperature. As for the other resources needed for the survival and reproduction of silicon, it is a problem after thousands of years, so it is not necessary to worry about it for the time being.
To put it bluntly, no one believes that the Silicon Man in the Thorne Galaxy can survive for thousands of years.
Don't forget, the Thorne Galaxy is not far from the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. As long as the war breaks out again, then these peacetime problems will not be a problem. Even if the forces of the Galactic Alliance did not come over, Kutum was able to solve the problem of overpopulation by conscripting troops in the Thorne Galaxy. In fact, Kutum did the same, that is, one-third of the Silicon Charm army that invaded the Southern Alpha Galaxy came from the Thorne Galaxy. If Kutum didn't die in battle, after he retreats, he will conscript in the Thorne galaxy. As long as the war continues, it won't be long before most of the residents of the Thorne system will become soldiers in the Simei Legion.
However, Kutum did not return to the Northern Alpha Galaxy alive.
In Kuria’s words, because no warlord can solve the problem of the Thorne galaxy and cannot provide the residents with the necessary survival resources, no warlord will take over the Thorne galaxy after the retreat of the Silicon Charm army. , But come here from time to time to recruit.
It can be said that the cost of recruiting Silicon Charm fighters in the Thorne system is the least, because the residents here believe that joining the Silicon Charm army is the best way to leave this barren land. Even if he did not serve in the war and did not become a warrior because of this, he could gain a foothold in other star systems in the future.
However, this is a dream for most of the Silicon Charm fighters, because less than one-tenth of the Silicon Charm fighters can live to the end of the war.
"Now, how many inhabitants of the Thorne system are there?"
"I'm not very clear, but it certainly won't be too much." Kuria paused for a while before saying, "Before we withdrew back, Kutum came here to recruit. As far as I know, there are at least three thousand. Ten thousand silicon people joined the legion. Although we withdrew back, the war has not ended and the legion has not been disbanded. Since then, many war kings have come to recruit here, even if there are not as many silicon people as before, they will not. Where to go. The key is that all the silicon people who join the Silicon Charm are adult, strong and lively silicon people. Even if not all of them apply, the rest are mainly minors and adults with unqualified physical conditions. people."
Yang Yi nodded slightly, expressing that he understood what Kuriya meant.
"Also, when the refugees in the Thorne galaxy were settled, Kutum adopted a method of group autonomy. The four largest populations each received a planet, and dozens of other populations were settled on other planets. And they all have their own autonomous territory. According to Kutum’s arrangement, these races that have lost their homes have a high degree of autonomy, but they are only autonomy. To put it simply, all races can only manage their own affairs. Because These races have no homes, so Kutum did not appoint the warlord, but was directly led by him. In fact, Kutum's arrangement is mainly to control these races and recruit fighters from these races."
"So, which planet has the largest population."
"Vulcan." Curia pointed out the gray planet on the star chart.
In fact, this planet was originally crimson, it can be said to be the most beautiful planet in the Thorne galaxy, and it was once the planet with the most inhabitants. Only now, the planet has completely changed. Not only has the magma ocean flowing on the surface of the planet cooled and solidified, but the interior of the planet has been completely hollowed out.
"The people living here are the Dragon Breath race, a race with strong reproductive ability and strong vitality. Before the war broke out, there were about one billion inhabitants. But as far as I know, the current population is less than 500 million, and most of them It’s a young age, and there are less than one million adult Dragon Breathers who are truly capable of fighting.” Kuria exclaimed, “In addition to Kutum, and our warlords, Lombardo and other top warlords have also been here. Obviously, the top warlord is more appealing. After Kutum is over, we have no way to compete with the top warlord. In addition, don't underestimate the strength of the dragon's breath clan. If it is not trying to occupy Kutum's jurisdiction, I am afraid Those top warlords have already destroyed the Vulcan star."
"destroy?"
Mr. Kuriya exhaled and said: "Dragon's breath tribe is a race that is known for attacking. Kutum also specially formed several dragon's breath tribe legions, and they are the main force, ready to attack the homeland galaxy. It's a pity. , Before the Dragon's Breath Legion arrived on the battlefield, Kutum gave an order to retreat. Because of the acquisition of a planet, the Dragon's Breath tribe was grateful to Kutum and only listened to Kutum's command. If Kutum did not In the death of Martian, the Dragon Breath people will not listen to the call of other top warlords. To put it simply, as long as Kutum is alive, the other top warlords cannot control the Dragon Breath tribe, and will regard the Dragon Breath tribe as potential. Threat, and it’s a huge threat."
"Then, let's start from here."
Yang Yi made a decision, but Curia said nothing more. After learning that Yang Yi had tamed Lombardo's car, that is, the twelfth-level blue dragon, Curia realized how wise it was to take refuge in Yang Yi in the first place. In his eyes, Yang Yi seemed to surpass the existence of the top warlord.
