The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 237: Arim's story

Views:

The same huge and magnificent gate of the world stands silently in the dark and deep space, but the surroundings of this gate of the world are obviously much deserted.

The Giant Turtle Rock Terrace appeared from a burst of light, and no other spaceships could be seen around. The busy passengers encountered at the other end of the gate seemed to have been transported to other worlds. The data terminal controlled the spaceship to sprint forward for a certain distance, and then used the external monitor to send back the scene behind the spaceship. Hao Ren saw a space facility that looked slightly smaller than the previous one, but was equally incredible. And not far from the gate of this world, you can also see the planetary fortress called "Sovereign Hub", but there is only one Sovereign Hub here. Obviously, compared with his hometown, this universe is a kind of... Backcountry .

The public channel of the spaceship is still open to receive broadcasts from other spaceships within a radius of one light-year, but there are only a few sporadic signals in the channel, some from the beacon facilities near the World Gate, and some from It's a passing starship in a hurry. I don't know what civilization it came from, but it must have nothing to do with everyone's purpose.

"This place looks a bit deserted." Hao Ren said while looking at the starry sky. There are strange stars here. A dim brown glow shines in the universe. There is a brighter nebula in the upper left corner in front of the bow. , but when focusing on that nebula, the system automatically reports that its distance is hundreds of millions of light-years away—the scale of space is really something that is easy to surprise.

The data terminal is confirming the next course. Hearing this, he explained: "There are many three-way zones like this in the macro world. They originated from an emergency expansion 10,000 years ago. At that time, a catastrophe occurred in the void. Many The world disappeared in an instant, and only the universe under the protection of the three major gods of Xiling, Starfield, and Huron can survive. We knew this situation in advance, and we did everything possible to launch countless detectors into the entire void to search for new ones. World, hastily incorporated them into the network of the macro world. These newly added universes were only registered, and their follow-up construction has not caught up with the progress until today. Of course, there are some universes that have no construction value at all. Void It is so vast that no one has the time to bring it all under his control."

Hilda looked at the starry sky outside the spaceship in ecstasy, but she couldn't make out the star map she was familiar with from here: "How far is it from here to my home?"

"... very far away, this aircraft is still comparing the route," the voice of the data terminal was a little confused, "What kind of place do you live in? The route forecast sent by the space-time administration is indeed very clear, but this aircraft scanned it just now. , this route leads to a completely empty star field.”

Hilda sighed: "That's right, it's just an empty space. That's my hometown."

The data terminal didn't make a sound, it activated the superluminal engine of the spaceship, the stars on the exterior view were distorted again, and the red and blue "channel" anomaly reappeared, and soon sank into darkness. Hao Ren knew that he could only wait quietly. When the space outside the spaceship opened again, Hilda's hometown should appear in front of everyone. Vivian noticed that Hilda's expression kept changing. Mixed with excitement, anxiety, anticipation and a trace of timidity. In order to divert the attention of the elf queen who is close to home, she took the initiative to break the silence: "Hilda, now tell me about your hometown, you have never introduced it to us properly."

Hilda's eyes were a little dazed, but she still nodded: "My story may be a bit long, I will start from the origin of the Erim elves, I hope this journey is enough for me to finish this story..."

In the quiet statement of the elf queen, Hao Ren knew a story about survival and destiny that happened in the depths of the distant starry sky.

Ayrim means "rich soil and plants" in the mother tongue of the elf queen, and the short free translation is similar to a nursery or a garden.

Their ancestors gave their home planet this name. In praise of the abundance and generosity of this planet.

The origin of the story is a beautiful idyllic time, telling of sunshine, fertile soil, forests, running water, and an intelligent race.

A long time ago, when the Erim elves lived in the forest and multiplied around several lakes, their life was full of abundance and happiness. This is an elegant race that is peaceful, united, intelligent and full of enterprising spirit. They are the first batch on this planet to open up their intelligence, make tools, develop characters, and live in harmony with nature. The way to develop civilization.

There is abundant food in the forest of Erim, the atmosphere is full of active energy, and the rules of the entire universe support simple and easy-to-learn primitive magic. Under the guidance of a primitive religion called "Spirit of the Stars", these elves built cities driven by magic and magical technology in the forest, and quickly built their own civilization, and it is very amazing: this group of rapidly developing Intelligent creatures maintain a reverence for nature even as civilization advances rapidly, which is something that many other mortal races cannot do. From the beginning of walking upright, they realized that all resources come from the generous gifts of nature, so they worked hard to ensure thrift and resource recycling. This good quality has been maintained since the beginning of civilization until today.

This group of astonishingly beautiful creatures who are so gifted and perfect love peace, but at the same time they also know how to compete with other creatures and use various means (including war) to protect their homeland and civilization. There have also been other short-lived powerful races in Rem, but it is this group of powerful and intelligent long-eared creatures that finally gained supremacy on the planet.

Those powerful races were not wiped out by the elves, but chose to submit after the war, and were eventually highly assimilated by the elves, and became a member of the elves after several generations of genetic modification.

In this way, during the development process of the mother star stage, the elves walked out of the forest, stepped into the plains, climbed over the mountains and rivers, spread the fire of civilization to the world, assimilated and fused all the intelligent creatures they encountered, and made the original Ari The planet Mu quickly became full of vitality, and the flowers of civilization built by advanced intelligent creatures bloomed everywhere on the entire planet.

It took thousands of years for the Erim elves to fully control their own planet. They developed from a group of primitive creatures living in the forest who only knew primitive magic and simple tool technology to a high-tech group with fully enlightened intelligence. The advanced magic technology builds its own mother star, allowing it to lay a civilization coat interwoven by the air routes in the atmosphere, the high-speed train network on the surface, the global data link, and the free energy broadcasting system while maintaining the natural balance.

And after completing the technology accumulation in the home star stage, just like all intelligent races who realize that the resources of the cradle are limited after all, the Erim elves began to look for settlements outside their home planet—only they needed to find a place outside their home star. Get the right foothold, find the right source of resources in space, and things will develop naturally.

At that moment, they were proud, proud, and full of confidence.

They think they have a smart enough brain, a generous home planet, and ample technology and resource stocks, all of which are enough to support them in this journey of discovery.

Yes, they think they are rich, and the fact that their home planet does have an unprecedented abundance of all types of resources should be the envy of any race.

Even judging from the perspective of a bystander, these elves themselves have the qualities to step into the starry sky: thrifty, diligent, enterprising, and united. There is no other race that is as perfect and suitable for development as they are.

Except for one thing:

Erim is the only planet in their star system.

And their star system is 60 million light-years away from the nearest solid object.

In this vast journey of sixty million light-years away, there is nothing but barrenness and the useless glowing embers of a few collapsing stars.

If their world was created by some god, then this god really played a cruel joke on these elves: he gave these elves all the beautiful gifts that a mortal race can possess, making them invulnerable from mind to body. Picky, let them be hardworking, brave, kind, intelligent, tenacious and united, and give them such a beautiful and rich home planet as a cradle—

In the end, it was all thrown in a desert. (to be continued~^~)
