Half-immortal civilization

When the citizens of the empire began to gradually adapt to this rapidly developing world and extended their vision beyond the solar system to 40 light-years, the brave spaceships were advancing alone, opening up a broader territory for the development of mankind.

Zhang Wenliang looked at the atomic clock. It was already 114 years of the Imperial Calendar, 2168 AD, and the spacecraft had advanced alone in space for 17 years (the year of Venus). In 17 years, there were 5 million people on the spaceship, but now there are 1000 million new people born; at the same time, 200 million citizens have closed their eyes forever.

Some people are in their seventies and eighties, and they just want to enjoy it before they die; while some people are not suitable for the space environment.The specific reason has not yet been analyzed by the empire. After all, there are relatively few examples, and there is also the slow transmission of signals.In fact, apart from the ultra-long-distance communication devices carried by the latest War and Light spacecraft, the current Nozomi spacecraft does not carry such a device—this means that the Nozomi spacecraft can actually be said to be in harmony with The solar system is completely isolated!

In order to save resources, these dead citizens will be cremated and buried.After reaching the planet, they will migrate to a fixed land.

The gigantic spaceship slowly flips to provide artificial gravity and travels at high speed.Zhang Wenliang and his wife, sons and grandchildren sat together and ate together—I don’t know if it’s breakfast or supper. In fact, even if there is a clock to keep time, but without the rising and setting of the sun, people have gradually forgotten the difference between morning, middle and evening. .It's just mechanically working and resting according to the work requirements and time.Spaceships need to be operational around the clock.It also needs to have enough manpower to maintain it at all times.And such tense days have passed 17 imperial years.

However, the destination is also approaching.

Through the porthole.You can see the bright Ez Aquarius galaxy in the distance, three stars, so wonderful!They circle each other, and the mechanism of their birth is still not understood by human technology.And this star system is even more bizarre, life-like planets were born inside the orbits of stars!If the earth is like this, say decisively!

And now this distance.Observing these three stars has become very clear.Three red dwarfs have a combined mass about exactly that of the Sun.But the magic is.Between the three stars, a living planet will be born. It can only be said that the world is full of wonders, and the wisdom of nature challenges the human world view time and time again!

The three stars turned out to have similar masses.They attract each other and do ring motion, with an orbital radius of 1.2 million kilometers, which is roughly equivalent to the current distance between Venus and the sun.Almost half a standard year, it will make one revolution.

It is said that the light emitted by these three stars is not particularly strong, because the size is too small and the nuclear reaction is slow, the light of a single star is less than one-tenth of the sun, and the three together barely reach two-tenths of the sun's light intensity ,one fifth.Then, theoretically, the planet at the central position will not have sufficient light and temperature—the light it receives at this distance is almost equivalent to the light intensity in the orbit of Jupiter.Even if it is increased by three times, it is only equivalent to the light intensity of the asteroid belt!Such light and temperature may promote the birth of primitive life.But there is definitely not enough energy to support the birth of more complex creatures, especially mammals, and further intelligent life!For intelligent life, the energy consumed by the brain is terrifying. Without enough energy supply, it is difficult for life to evolve a high IQ!And according to the received signal display.There is a world of spring and splendor!

"Since we don't understand, let's go and have a look. First launch a few fast detectors; ah. The detectors should be beautified to make the detectors look cute and easy for these elves to accept us. First impressions often Very important.

By the way, I think we should send a signal first, the signal is fast, and tell the struggling elves in advance that we are coming, let them persevere.It doesn’t matter if it is already extinct; but if it is just on the verge of extinction, such information can often make the fighting warriors burst into greater strength and increase their survival rate.” The wife said softly beside her, after all, the woman is careful Dongfang Xiaoyun, who was already very beautiful after so many years of practice, has shown a mature charm, and a kind of motherly kindness! Not to mention, because she has been a queen, she also has an inexplicable majesty; this All of these make Dongfang Xiaoyun so glamorous that most people dare not look directly at her.

"It can only be like this." Zhang Wenliang smiled faintly. This life has been rich enough. He has a beautiful wife and has been an emperor. Now he has the opportunity to lead mankind to declare majesty and peace and lead mankind to expand.Everything seemed so incredible in the Earth era; but now, it has become the main means for human beings to expand in space.

Without too much rhetoric, the warriors used practical actions to interpret the progress of mankind.

The means of sending out electromagnetic waves one after another, regardless of whether the other party can receive electromagnetic wave signals, adopts the traditional binary electromagnetic wave to the most advanced infinite system technology in the empire today-this new technology triggered by cosmic information theory; and the language of emission, even more It includes dozens of languages ​​on the earth, mainly Chinese, and even includes the deciphered language of the elves.

The signal is very simple, just a few words: Noble distress signal received, we are about to arrive.

At the same time, the two detectors were ejected violently. With the help of the initial speed of the spacecraft itself, the speed of the two detectors was as high as 0.7 times the speed of light!They plunge into the gravitational range of Aquarius first.

The 114th year of the Imperial Calendar has passed, and the 115th year has come, and the spacecraft has detected the gravitational field of Aquarius.There are 1200 billion kilometers left, and it is about to enter the Aquarius ez galaxy.The huge solar sail slowly opened and began to prepare for the upcoming deceleration.It takes a full year to slow down the time!
The spacecraft must reduce its speed to a reasonable range before it can safely enter this strange circle of stars!too fast.Definitely rush out; go too slow and risk being captured by the star and needing to re-accelerate - not a good idea.

According to the calculation, the deceleration time here.It takes a full 1.5 standard years, which is the time for the stars to circle three times here!I just don't know how the beings here calculate time and divide years, months and days in this world without darkness.

Squeak... the gigantic solar sail is back to work after slumbering for 20 empires; the shiny sail catches barely detectable light at this distance, providing a measly bit of deceleration.

....................................

A land full of green, a world full of flowers, a variety of beautiful, majestic and other trees towering up.The trees are densely packed with fruits, and some beautiful animals are constantly shuttling among them.here.It's like a beautiful animation world, and it's an extremely beautified animation world!
Sting... a fist-sized animal with a big tail, holding a red fruit in its two front paws, ran past quickly.

The high priest didn't care, and continued to stare at the altar.The flower has bloomed and faded 50 times.Still haven't received any information.The bravest warriors of the six tribes who cut their wrists and donated blood back then have turned into dry bones, but they are still standing firmly by the altar!

The pale bones exude a sacred brilliance - they resolutely gave up their lives for the safety of the group, and activated this altar with all their magic power and blood - this altar was developed by gathering the wisdom of the elves for tens of thousands of years. altar!
A gust of wind blew, and the breeze lifted the white hair of the high priest.Under the dry white hair is a dry face.Apparently, the 50 high priests who bloomed and withered were waiting here.Has come to the end of life.

Rusha... A middle-aged female elf wearing a golden corolla walked slowly, holding a purple-gold scepter in her hand.But this scepter, in addition to symbolizing power, is also a powerful magic wand!
At a distance of about ten meters from the high priest, the female elf stopped gently and put the corolla and scepter aside.There is a canopy that grows horizontally, just like a table.

Then the female elf clasped her hands together.He walked up to the high priest respectfully, bowed and stood quietly.

"What's going on outside?" the high priest said slowly, but his body remained motionless.Several jasper-like vines wrapped around the high priest's body, providing the great elder with the power of life.

"Back to the high priest, the situation is not optimistic. Over the past 50 years, the number of our ethnic groups has decreased by about 100 million every year; now the number of ethnic groups is only 8000 million! However, the number of dragons is slowly increasing. The warriors have been unable to stop Living.

If," said this, there was a little despair in the female elf's eyes, "if there is no way to restrain these dragons, we will return to our mother's arms forever. "

"Mother..." The high priest looked up and saw a strange tree not far from the altar. The vines on the high priest's body extended from this tree.This tree is not particularly tall, only about [-] meters high, and it looks a bit small under the surrounding trees that are thousands of meters high.

But this tree is green and translucent all over, as if made of jasper.And its branches are different.Some are broad-leaved, some are needle-leaved, some are grass leaves, and some are even soft flocs like aquatic plants.This is a mother tree. It is said that everything on this planet starts from here, and elves are the top creatures born from the mother tree.

At this moment, at the very top of the tree, there is a [-]cm-sized fruit. The appearance of this fruit is translucent, and you can even see a strange embryo inside!This embryo is the next elf royal family!

The mother tree gives birth to an ordinary purebred elf every year; every hundred years, three years are used to give birth to an elf royal family.All elf nobles start here, and then start to have children.The birth of elves is very regular, one male and one female, never wrong.And the current elves, except for the nobles, are all descendants of the combination of elves and nobles, and then continue to multiply, and there is the current elves.

This is a magical world, a beautiful world.Under the care of the special cosmic environment, the planet here is full of strange energy, even the outer space has such abundant energy; the elves call this energy magic energy; and every elf is a master of magic.

But because they were born from plants, the elves are a strange race. Although the (ground) civilization is extremely developed, they have nothing to do with the world. Their biggest hobby is to cultivate plants.Expand the influence of "mother".

But thousands of years ago, a change took place, and the elves, who were indifferent to the world, continued to expand due to the rapid increase in population.He even came into contact with an evil existence.

Just as humans imagined, on the other side of this planet, there is an even more strange continent; life here starts from birth, whether it is a plant or an animal, it must start the life course of killing until the end of life.And because of the year-round killing, the life here has no reason.

until.A magic dragon accidentally devoured an elf, and unexpectedly gained a little wisdom.Then he devoured hundreds of elves, and became the existence with the highest IQ in that continent!This made the Demon Dragon Clan go crazy.Under the guidance of this wise dragon, the magic dragon began to devour the elves to gain wisdom.

Thus, a war spanning millennia.Expanded!
However, the war was not good for the elves from the very beginning; how could the elves who put flowers and grass every day be the opponents of the dragons who came from the slaughter.

Until now, the number of elves has dropped from the peak of 15 billion to 8000 million!The extermination of the genocide is already in sight!
However, because this planet and its surroundings are full of massive magical energy, the powerful magicians of the elves can fly out of the planet and exist in space for a short time-so the elves can see the outside world; therefore, the high priest has an idea ——Say help from outer space!
Yes, if this situation continues, the elves will definitely perish, and that's the case.Might as well take a gamble!
Therefore, under the auspices of the high priest, three men and three women and six powerful elves were selected from the clan.Use their strength and blood to open the altar and call for help from the outside world.

But it has been 50 years, and there is still no response, which has made the current elf queen a little desperate.

"Don't despair until the last moment." The high priest's voice was harsh and unpleasant, like dry trees rubbing against each other.But in dry eyes.But the light of wisdom is shining: "The outside world is too big, and there are only three stars in our sky. But there are hundreds of millions of stars in the outside world. But they are too far away, even if they receive our distress signal , or it may take decades or even hundreds of years to get here."

The words of the high priest did not fluctuate, as if they were telling a fact.

It's just this kind of answer that made the despair in the Queen's eyes even bigger!The high priest is the last royal family, maybe even the previous royal family, they are the same spiritual pillars in the elves.

Of course, the Empress also had the opportunity to visit outer space, knowing that the outside world is vast and—far away! ! !Far beyond imagination!They attacked with the most powerful magic arrows in the clan, and they couldn't even cross the range of the three suns in the sky! (If the earthlings know what they are doing, they will laugh out loud.)
Suddenly, the sky and the earth suddenly lit up, and then quickly disappeared.

In the distance, a bright, even somewhat dazzling beam of light flashed away, with the light and shadow of beautiful green vines entwined on it.

"Forbidden Curse!" Tears dripped from the Queen's eyes.A power that is exchanged for life, a power that will perish together.It is because of this ruthlessness that the elves have recently withstood the crazy attack of the magic dragon.

But dragons, dragons, they also have strong magical abilities!

However, before the queen's tears fell, the altar suddenly came alive, and the blood that hadn't dried up in 50 years suddenly flowed, and then turned into strange images, symbols, etc., floating in midair.And as the information received by the altar continues to increase, there are more and more of these strange symbols, and the scope is getting wider and wider.

In the end, a ten-meter-square light curtain was formed, with hundreds of different symbols flashing on it, and some even messy lines—obviously, there were some signals that this altar could not capture.But at the back, in the lower right corner, there is a line of text that the elves know:
Noble distress signal received, we are about to arrive.

coming! ! !At this moment, a strong light erupted from the eyes of the high priest, and the light in the eyes appeared in the shape of leaves, which was one of the signs of powerful magic ability.

"Hahaha... the elves are saved! A civilization that can come from a distant starry sky must be very powerful! We are saved! We are saved..." The high priest and the queen embraced and cried!
