Chapter 781: Your Former People
More and more imperial relics have been discovered in the Mobrado galaxy, and there is also more and more evidence pointing out that not long after the collapse of the old empire, the imperial troops originally stationed here began to attack the ordinary people of this world. The civilization launched a crazy attack. This attack was without warning. The ancient civilization was destroyed with almost no chance to resist. The only relic of the ancient civilization’s counterattack we found was the base on the Fog God Star. It was destroyed after the massacre. Basically it had no effect.
Shandora has been in a bad mood these past two days. Although she still has that eternal calmness on her face, I can feel the sadness in this queen's heart from the spiritual connection. There is nothing more beautiful than looking at myself. It was even more heartbreaking for a loyal soldier to suddenly turn into an enemy. She was originally a leader and protector, but in turn destroyed the vassal civilization that followed her. This position also made her very distressed.
It's not just moral condemnation and humanitarian guilt. Although this feeling exists for Sandora, it doesn't make her so depressed - it's not a good thing to say, but the life she destroyed with her own hands It has really reached a point that cannot be described in numbers. Regarding killing, her endurance is amazing, and now her depression is more of a blow to her dignity: Apostle Xiling has always stood at the pinnacle of civilization with her powerful power. , how many weak civilizations relied on this strength to gather under the iron fist of the old empire, but now, the backing that was supposed to be infallible not only collapsed, but also crushed the followers under this backing. This has to be said to be absolutely A huge irony, almost a shame for the proud Queen Xiling.
When she first learned about the existence of a large number of fallen apostles, Sandora had already been depressed due to similar reasons. It was bad enough that the warriors who were originally resisters of the abyss were controlled by the enemies they were determined to destroy. But now, I found out that my troops had become similar accomplices. Needless to say, I can understand Sandora's mood.
But I wisely did not stay around Sandora to comfort her all day long. I know that as the queen of the empire, she has her own pride. Even though she usually likes to act coquettishly around me, she is unwilling to show too much weakness at this time. It can be said that it is the willfulness of Sandora's personal characteristics, or it is said that she wants to save face. That's okay, anyway, you can't coax her like an ordinary girl at this time, and being by your side to support her silently is the best comfort for her. I believe that Her Majesty the Queen, who has experienced countless storms, will not be hindered by this small depression - in fact, I can't even think of anything in the world that can really affect a powerful queen like Sandora. Action, well, except hunger.
It seems like the calm before the storm, everything has been calm these days. Our agents have collected a large amount of intelligence on the world of Mobrado, and are collecting more detailed information with amazing efficiency and smoothness. I firmly believe that the number of hairs on the Archbishop of the Blue Church can now be directly queried from the information link. Yes, this number is updated in real time. Other agents are conducting in-depth scans of all the celestial bodies in the Mobrado galaxy. We have marked all the imperial ruins and ancient civilization ruins, and visited most of the more representative ones. Due to their age, those ruins are basically No remains could be found except for dust. The ocean base of the Misty Star became the only tomb of Sandora's former followers. Lilina personally prayed for those ancient dead, and it was rare that it was useless. Strange prayers.
Of course, the agents also focused on the so-called "Holy Relics" and found many relics of the old empire. Without exception, those ancient devices had their identification codes erased and became easily usable by ordinary people. Offline products, but other than that, they work fine and show no signs of being infected by the Abyss.
Regarding those antiquities, there is a situation that has attracted the great attention of Sandora and I: all the legacy of the old empire, as long as it is a smart weapon with a certain ability of self-action (such as smart turrets, including ordinary Xiling soldiers), They attacked the imperial agents who went to explore the ruins, but if they were spies from the Civilized Community who went to investigate the situation, they would be as unresponsive as if they were sleeping.
In other words, all imperial weapons judge normal Xiling apostles as enemies.
This is simply an unimaginable absurd situation. Although there is no abyss reaction, the behavior of those Xiling weapons seems even more outrageous. No one can explain what is wrong with their judgment modules and why they produce identification results that are completely opposite to the normal situation. The Xiling agents who were under attack successfully captured some combat machines, but after they were sent for inspection, they received a report that the structure was normal. There were no automated modules like the Templar Guards in the Great Nebula, nor were they controlled by the abyss. Their mistakes can only be at the level of their "thinking", but what is troublesome is that the thinking of smart weapons is the most difficult to analyze in real time. You have to catch them alive, and in fact no one can stop a Xiling Units self-destruct when the situation is unfavorable. They always format their memory cores as soon as possible, and then self-destruct when the time comes. This is simply troublesome.
Now I can only agree with Lilina's guess, that is, Sandora's revenge army has become crazy...
It's ironic. Although they are the destroyers of civilization, those out-of-control Xiling apostles are worshiped as "sages" by modern Mobrado people, and even the pots, pans and ear picks they used are worshiped. Worship, this really makes people in the know dumbfounded. It stands to reason that there are so many ruins, and even if most of the evidence is indistinguishable from the modern Mobrado civilization, someone should be able to discover from other clues the truth that the "sages" single-handedly destroyed ancient civilizations in ancient times, but The aborigines of this world still worship the "sages" without hesitation, and at the same time pay respect to the ancient civilization. This made me feel very ridiculous, but after a chat with Lilina, this question was easily solved.
"God almost drowned all mankind with a drop of saliva, but there are still cults on the earth now," a certain black lolita bishop summed up very insightfully, "Faith is a very strange thing, and mortals are always shameless. They always give the green light to the gods they believe in. Even if God closes all the doors for them, they always imagine that the former will leave a window for them - but in fact, after God closes the door, he forgets that there is anyone in the room."
I must point out that when Lilina said this, Dingdang was sitting on the coffee table one meter in front of her. The little thing nodded while listening, and grandly announced that this article must be written in the goddess Bible: When God gives you When you close a door, think of a way to break through the wall, because God might have forgotten to open the window!
I have to admit that although Lilina's summary sounds unsightly, it actually makes sense - when the natives of Mobrado worship the Xiling Apostle as a god, it is destined that this will not be normal. Emotions, they will not use the standards for judging ordinary intelligent creatures to look at the Xiling apostles. When they interpret some of the amazing information revealed in ancient ruins, they will naturally add a lot of deceptive explanations. God's flood will destroy the world, and the sages will clean the world. in this way.
In the past few days in Mobrado, we have experienced this deeply. Their speculations about the Xiling Apostles and their interpretation of the holy relics are really ridiculous in many cases, and they are simply more ridiculous than the Atlanteans used deified The way to treat the Xiling Empire is even weirder. At least the latter have some understanding of the real Xiling civilization. They are just used to using religious rhetoric to describe the imperial people. And here - Mobrado was directly beaten from the ancient advanced civilization to the primitive society, and then slowly Since their evolution, they have long engraved the mythical image of the Xiling Civilization into their genes. Even if they develop advanced technology, they are just transforming the traditional religious religion into a technological religious religion.
During these few days of peace, Milia's uncle and Biluna also gradually got used to the addition of a bunch of great bosses in the family. The three of them may be the "sages" to the entire Mobrado world. The most objective person, because the so-called sages have been eating at their house every day recently. Uncle Zaku was surprised to find that the so-called sages did not breathe with lightning and thunder, or blink with the change of day and night. At most, they had a big appetite, weird ideas, dark personalities, and occasionally they were very passionate. Make plans for world conquest in the workshop, only to be dragged away immediately by your ears. The approachability of the "sage" made him and Biruna feel a little incredible. From the beginning, they thought like ordinary Mobrados and believed that the return of the sage to this world was of great significance, such as pointing out the evolutionary path of the entire civilization. , but in fact the main reason for the "return of the sage" is: things are lost.
What is satisfying is that Zaku and Biruna fulfilled their promise well and did not make our identity public, which prevented the entire Mobrado civilization from causing major turmoil.
Tavel is using this civilization as an experimental target for long-term observation. She wants to know how a civilization with such a special starting point will develop. However, as of now, the development prospects of the Mobrado civilization are not optimistic:
Although they have a much higher starting point than ordinary civilizations, have technological advantages unimaginable by other civilizations due to the ruins of the empire, and have many genetic advantages derived from ancient inheritance, a fatal shackle has gradually revealed its power. One worrying situation is that the Mobrados have not yet developed deep space aerospace technology. This is simply abnormal compared to other technologies they already have. The Mobrados have technology based on Xiling technology. Phase shield technology (non-psionic energy), simple space construction technology, and even ancient weapon imitations that imitate the equipment of imperial soldiers (although the practicality is not good), this is something that many cosmic-level civilizations cannot do, and it stands to reason It is said that the indigenous people of this world are already considered advanced civilizations, but they have not been able to develop deep space aerospace technology until now——
The Mobradorans immigrated planets within their star system, but they did not even have a spacecraft that could fly out of the star system.
Because they can't do without the holy relics and the "sky corridor".
At present, 90% of Mobrador's cutting-edge technology is developed based on the knowledge recorded in the "Holy Relics", especially their spacecraft technology. The "voyage" spacecraft they use to travel between planets uses inertial technology. Transforming psionic energy into energy is the "energy" released from the forty-six energy vent channels in the Sky Corridor. It is actually a secondary product of psionic energy. It is more efficient than ordinary energy, but much weaker than psionic energy. Times, this kind of energy allowed the Moradians to develop a spacecraft within the star system from scratch in just ten years, but it also completely killed their possibility of exploring the deeper universe: emissions from the star ring The inertized psionic energy that comes out is operational waste and cannot be safely stored in large quantities, otherwise it will not be discharged. If the Mobrados use it as energy, their spaceship technology is destined to not be able to travel far. What is obvious is that in the foreseeable future, it is impossible for Mobrados to independently develop a spacecraft that uses real psionic energy. Even if it is developed, they will not be able to produce psionic energy on their own without the necessary basic technology. The top energy source of this civilization completely relies on the few holy ruins in the star system that are still functioning normally, and more than 80% of their spaceships rely on the sky corridor to replenish energy!
This is very dangerous for a normal civilization. The energy that those Xiling ruins can provide is limited after all, not to mention that most of them have fatal damage. Mobrado's scholars tried to repair them day and night, but they could not change it. This is a dangerous situation where the world's energy supply could collapse at any time. Unable to find a way to generate psionic energy by oneself, but relying on this energy to maintain the development of civilization is as unreliable as sourceless water.
And if the energy problem is still obvious, another crisis that threatens the development of Mobrador civilization is invisible to ordinary people, and that is their technological system.
Modern technology was completely developed based on holy ruins and ancient ruins. Many of their super technologies were discovered by chance. They picked them up and used them without asking for any explanation. They copied ancient items without knowing why, and even directly used those from ancient times. A production line restored in ancient ruins is used to produce basic tools. The technology tree of Mobrado Civilization has no support at all, and the deformity has reached the point of absolute alarm. They once "mastered" gravity trap technology fifty years ago and intercepted asteroid impacts from space by arranging gravity traps. However, they lost these technologies thirty years ago because they removed the holy relics from space. The only gravity trap generator that was dismantled was broken, and no one knew how to repair it!
Some Mobrado scholars with long-term vision have realized the horror of this problem and are trying to make up for the lack of basic technology. These scholars have formed a knowledge exploration team called the "Blue Crusade" and want to fill in the gaps from basic technology. Down to the gap between practical technology, the team still exists today, largely responsible for running charities and preaching about the end of civilization. The former is popular, the latter is scorned. Many people think that the leaders of the Blue Crusade have gone crazy, but in my opinion, they just know too much - they face the impasse of their civilization and clearly understand that the Mobradors will never There is no way to resolve this desperate situation on your own.
Give you a first-grade mathematics book and ask you to use the above knowledge to answer second-grade questions. A smart person can still do it, but if you are asked to use the addition and subtraction above to calculate the current universe What about the expansion coefficient?
This unscientific!
We are now in a delicate state in our attitude towards Mobrador civilization. Pandora and Visca believe that regardless of the reason, these "lower civilizations" have appropriated imperial affairs without permission. Property, this is an absolutely sinful thing. Even if we are not punished, we have to reclaim the old empire heritage here, especially Viska. I have been running in the yard looking at my own star ring in a daze these two nights. I guess I won’t let it. She won't be willing to drag this thing back - although I also think that recovering the star ring is quite important.
My sister is more concerned about what will happen to this special civilization after losing the remains of the empire. It's just fate that they happened to develop in the imperial heritage. The so-called crime of embezzlement of public property is excusable. If we clean up the "holy ruins" of this world, Mobrado will definitely collapse completely and return to primitive society. Not yet, but it should be back to the early days of industrial civilization, and their entire race may never recover from this: this race relies too heavily on the "Holy Relics", especially the "Sky Corridor".
Sandora was also a little concerned about the Mobrado civilization, perhaps because they were descendants of the survivors of the ancient civilization, which made her transfer some of her apologies to them. It is still unknown why the Imperials did not completely complete the genocide of this galaxy, but it is an indisputable fact that these survivors survived. Sandora felt that as the queen of their ancestors, she must serve these survivors. Do something. I was a little surprised by her thoughts at first, because I had the impression that Sandora was not such a kind and tolerant type when she was the queen, but now I seem to understand that this is not a benevolence, but out of a sense of responsibility.
"Their ancestors once fought for me," Sandora said. "Even if they are weak, as long as they dare to wave their weapons at the enemy, they are my soldiers. I was their queen a long time ago, and I still am now."
I don’t know if this should be regarded as Sandora’s way of becoming a king: when her people offer their loyalty and lives to her, she will bear the responsibility of leading them to glory and victory.
However, dealing with the Mobrado civilization is not the top priority now. They have not yet reached the limit of their racial power. The development bottleneck has only just appeared, and it has not yet reached the level of completely blocking their scientific development. We also want to see how far the indigenous people here can break through. Tavel suggested continuing to observe this civilization. When they really can't move forward, maybe they can give them some help according to Sandora's ideas. Well, to be honest, it reminds me of a lab rat in a cage...
What we are thinking about now and what we are most concerned about is when the enemy will appear.
