In fact, this is not a crack in the ice, but a canyon made of hard ice.
After walking for a while, Amy suddenly stopped Yang Yi.
"what happened?"
"This should be a storm ocean, to be precise, a frozen storm ocean."
Yang Yi was very puzzled and looked at Amy without understanding.
"Although the outside world didn't know much about this planet after the Polar Race entered the Lord, before that, when we came to the Southern Alpha Galaxy, surveys were conducted on this planet. That's right, In the end, the planet was handed over to the Extreme Race.” Amy paused for a while, and then said, “Because the environment is too bad to survive, no one named this planet. Even now, there is no one. The official name. Because it is the home planet of the Polar Race, we generally call it Polar Star. Obviously, Preparation is an informal name. Before that, it was just before we came to the Southern Alpha Galaxy and looked around. When establishing a foothold, the pioneers called this planet the star of the storm. The name came from the ocean of storms."
Yang Yi nodded slightly and asked Amy to continue.
"In fact, if the temperature changes are not too large, and the freezing period is extremely long, this planet is very suitable for us to live and survive. It is very simple, there is a lot of water here, but the storm ocean takes up two-thirds of the planet's surface area. If we take the amount of water as the criterion, this planet is enough to support tens of billions of people. We must know that water is the most precious resource and the primary factor in determining whether a planet is suitable for us to live in. If there is not enough water on a planet, Even if the temperature is right, it cannot meet the survival needs of too many people. It can be said that if we had the current technology at that time, we would not abandon this planet, but would transform it into the environment."
"It's a pity that there was no such advanced technology at the time."
Amy sighed and said, “It’s true. It’s just that in that era, when thousands of civilizations came to the Southern Alpha galaxy one after another, and they all needed a suitable place to survive, we obviously had no reason to give up one. A planet with a lot of water resources."
"What's the meaning?"
"After discovering this planet, our pioneers, that is, those refugees who opened the way for the large forces and first came to the Southern Alpha galaxy, tried to modify the environment of this planet, such as by increasing the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere to lock in Part of the heat ensures that the temperature is above the freezing point even at the aphelion. Of course, the most direct way is to use the technology we have already mastered, namely the original energy technology, to install a powerful energy source to heat the atmosphere and make the planet The water will not freeze at any time. It’s a pity that these attempts either failed or could not be achieved. More importantly, a single planet could not solve the problem. With the arrival of the large force, more star systems were discovered and found. There are many planets with suitable environments, so this is no longer our only choice."
"You mean, this is the first planet that we found after coming to the Southern Alpha galaxy to allow us to survive?"
Amy nodded, saying that's what it meant.
Yang Yi sighed with a wry smile, which was completely unexpected.
"Of course, this planet is famous for its storm ocean."
"What's the meaning?"
"The storm ocean is a treasure house, but it is also the source of the harsh environment. To put it simply, this ocean, which occupies two-thirds of the planet’s surface area, reflects a lot of precious sunlight, making it difficult for the temperature to rise. However, the storm The water in the ocean is a priceless treasure." Amy Chang exasperated and said, "As far as I know, when the pioneer came here, he used the most advanced technology at the time to conduct a comprehensive survey of the storm ocean, mainly water. Although large Part of the information has been lost, but there are enough reasons to believe that the later settlement of the Polar Race here is likely to be related to the pioneer's survey results. Very simple, everyone thinks that only the Polar Race can survive here."
"I'm afraid that may not be the case."
"Of course, there are other reasons. Anyway, the Extreme Race is a civilization of the Galactic Alliance. Although weird, it is also from the Milky Way. Therefore, we must give the Extreme Race a place to stay. If it is not too unusual for the Extreme Race, we Nor will such an arrangement be made."
"What does it have to do with the storm ocean?"
"If we can't survive here, then the Extreme Clan is different. In addition, this arrangement may be related to long-term plans."
Yang Yi frowned and looked at Amy without understanding.
"At the time, no one knew whether we could gain a foothold in the Southern Alpha Galaxy. After all, while discovering those planets suitable for us to live in, we also discovered indigenous civilizations, and some indigenous civilizations have already mastered very advanced technology and are very powerful. Powerful. Not to mention other civilizations, even we are not fully sure that we can defeat the indigenous civilizations. If we are defeated in the war with the indigenous civilizations and are forced to leave the southern Alpha galaxy, then we need a temporary foothold, a A place that allows us to prepare for another expedition. Obviously, this is the perfect place. Not only does it have water resources that are indispensable for cross-stellar navigation, but it is also far away from the central area of the Southern Alpha galaxy, and it is very inconspicuous. Indigenous civilization values."
"You mean..."
"In other words, we need to control this planet, but there is no reason to spend too much resources here. Therefore, handing over the planet to the extreme race is the most ideal choice. At least at the time, the extreme race could survive here. Coming down. Even if we can't develop and grow, we will build some necessary infrastructure. If one day in the future, we have to expedition again, the construction of the Extreme Clan will be very meaningful."
"Using the Extreme Clan?"
Amy nodded slightly, and said, "Of course, it's not just about using it. In order for the Extreme Realm Race to survive here, we have also provided the necessary help."
"What help?"
"The Storm Star is the first solid planet we have discovered in the Southern Alpha Galaxy with a suitable environment. Therefore, in the next few decades, this has been our main foothold, to be precise, the destination of refugees. Until we Only after the discovery of a second solid planet with a suitable environment, the fleeing spacecraft were diverted. However, during the resettlement period of more than 100 years when they grew up, they have been taking on the task of receiving refugees. Simply put, all those who fled to come. Civilizations will first be temporarily settled here, and will leave after finding a suitable planet and establishing contact with local indigenous civilizations. After tens of thousands of years of sailing, many spaceships have long been damaged, although among them Some have been repaired, but many still remain. Besides, the short voyage inside the Southern Alpha Galaxy does not require too many spacecraft, so those spacecraft that have no repair value are abandoned."
Yang Yi was surprised secretly, his brows quickly beating a few times.
"After the resettlement period, the Polar Race has mastered the planet. In order for the Polar Race to survive here, the pioneers modified some abandoned spacecraft, mainly to allow the original energy converter on the spacecraft to continue to work. In the severe cold, an area suitable for survival has been created."
"In the storm ocean?"
Amy nodded and said, "To be precise, it is on the bottom of the ocean of storms. The Polar Race developed from aquatic creatures and are born to survive in the water."
"This… "
"Of course, this is not all. Although a large number of spaceships have been abandoned here, there are not many that can be repaired and can continue to be used. In other words, the created ecosystem is not large, and it can only barely make the limit. The survival of the clan is nothing to say about development and growth. After the various civilizations have settled down, the pioneers returned here and provided the Polar Clan with some vital technologies, including the use of original energy to transform the planet’s inner core to use geothermal energy. Heat the sea water and create a new world under the ice layer. It is this way that the Polar Race can develop and grow here, and the storm ocean will be built into the most prosperous city in the southern region. At least the Polar Race will leave here and will Before the home planet was set as a restricted zone, the City of Storms was the most populous city in the southern region."
"and many more… "
Amy was taken aback for a moment, but she also closed her mouth.
"You said, the city of storms is in the ocean of storms, and it's very prosperous?"
"Although I have never been to the City of Storms, as far as I know, the City of Storms was a paradise that many people yearn for before the Arctic Clan blocked the southern region."
"In other words, the Extreme Realm Race at that time had already mastered extremely advanced technology."
"Not extremely advanced, but it's pretty good."
"So, why didn't the environment of Storm Star be transformed?"
"This… "
"More importantly, the Polar Race is already a second-rate top civilization, and it dominates the southern region. Even if the home planet is of extraordinary significance, there is no reason to be a forbidden zone. From another perspective, after becoming a second-rate top civilization, the Polar Race The clan should strengthen the position of the home star, so as to gain more support and trust from civilization. If it is not for a special reason, there is absolutely no reason for the extreme race to leave the home star."
"This… "
"Obviously, this is done to protect a certain secret." Yang Yi glanced at Amy and said, "And it is very likely to be related to what is left here."
"what?"
"What do you say?"
Amy was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly startled, her eyes widened and said: "Are you talking about those spaceships?"
Yang Yi nodded and said, "Obviously, those spacecrafts from the Milky Way and built by human scientists must have extraordinary significance."
"The problem is that it was a spacecraft built 15,000 years ago. Even if it is very advanced, it is not as good as it is now."
"Maybe it has nothing to do with science and technology."
"But… "
"Of course, we will soon figure out what it is." Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "If this is a sea of storms, then the destination of our trip is under our feet."
When Yang Yi said this, Amy understood, but she was also a little worried.
