Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

Ever since they knew that their souls were artificially created by Qu Jie, and that the mechanical life might not have souls in the first place, Huang Tian and the other Nine Heavenly Lords announced the news to the public just after the Upper Council ended.

And arrange manpower to register the ordinary mechanical beings that were previously created by them but have not been recognized because they have no souls.

Make it a formal citizen of the Mechanical Empire.

The other is to start creating mechanical life in large quantities.

Previously, they had always thought that the mechanical lifeforms they created were not of the same kind as them, so they did not dare to create more. Now they know that it was a misunderstanding. In addition, with such a large area, there is indeed a lack of personnel management.

Therefore, it is natural to rush to increase the population.

Then, there is no doubt that the entire mechanical empire will usher in a period of population explosion. The population in the previous year may have been less than 1000 million, but it will grow to 100 billion in the second year, and more than 600 billion in the third year. Specifically, there are How much population is not a matter of flesh and blood such as fertility, but how many people they need!

As long as needed, subject to sufficient resources.

Their population can grow almost infinitely.

Although the strength of these mechanical life forms is terrifying, not inferior to the immortals in legends. They can destroy planets with every move and destroy stars with just a few tricks, but they are different from those who cultivate immortals and cultivate blood. The higher their cultivation level, the more powerful their blood is. Difficulty in reproducing offspring is different.

They do not reproduce through yin and yang intercourse.

Not through the fusion of flesh and blood.

But create directly, manufacture directly.

Once anything can be mass-produced, the only three factors that restrict production capacity are energy, raw materials and market. However, today's mechanical empire obviously does not need to consider these three aspects.

Energy can be harnessed from stars everywhere.

Raw materials, can't we find enough raw materials within 300 million light years?The same is true for the market. A territory of 300 million light-years requires management of a huge population. There is no need to worry about having no place to settle the population.

On the contrary, there are not enough people and we are very anxious.

Furthermore, they do not have the moral constraints and ethical constraints of humans. For humans, it is illegal or immoral to give birth to babies against their will, let alone mass-produce babies.

But the mechanical lifeforms have no such concerns at all. They have no so-called blood relationship with each other, and each individual has no blood relationship. At most, it can only be said that they were created in the same batch.

Therefore, mass production is no problem.

There is also no problem with rapid population growth.

In less than 30 years, the huge territory that was originally difficult to control for the Mechanical Empire was quickly stabilized by the filling of countless mechanical beings. At the same time, Huang Tian and the others did not forget Qu Jie's request, which was to start a comprehensive On the road to expansion, we dispatch an interstellar exploration fleet across the river system to the star field 1000 million light-years away with Blue Star as its core.

Explore suspected human traces and civilizations.

How to describe their importance?

They dispatched a fleet of 1000 exploration fleets 30 million light-years away. Although each exploration fleet is only controlled by one mechanical life, for their family, as long as they have sufficient energy and resources, one mechanical life is enough. Create countless followers.

Even create an army of machines.

It's easy to make an army with one person.

So it is enough to have a mechanical life to control it.

But, even though they were very serious about fulfilling Qu Jie's request and invested a lot of money and manpower, it was still not that easy to find humans.

Because they know very little about human beings, and there are too many human-like lives in the entire universe. If you want to find out whether a civilization is human, you have to either conquer the other civilization, or sneak into the other side's society and survive for a period of time to understand the other side's society. history.

Facing those relatively weak civilizations, civilizations that can be defeated by an exploration ship can naturally easily conquer the other party and directly check the other party.

of all history books.

However, in the face of some relatively powerful civilizations, the exploration ships cannot handle them, or in other words, even if the exploration ships can conquer the opponent, they will inevitably cause a large number of casualties to the opponent's civilization, so some relatively mild methods need to be adopted.

For example, disguise yourself as the other person's species, get yourself a more concealed identity certificate, enter the other person's society, and try to retrieve information and understand the history.

But once moderate measures are taken.

A waste of time for sure.

So until hundreds of years later, when the Mechanical Empire had expanded its territory to a distance of more than 700 million light-years with Blue Star as its core, the exploratory ships sent out still did not bring any good news.

Species suspected to be human have been discovered in large numbers.

But upon closer inspection, it was neither.

In order to ensure the absolute authenticity of the information, Emperor Tian issued an order, that is, not to give up on those civilizations that are suspected of being human immediately. While continuing to explore other star fields, some manpower can be stationed in the civilization that is suspected of being human, and continue to explore in depth. With.

Collect information about civilization.

Even the genetic information of suspected human species.

They don't know much about humans, so they can't make accurate judgments. In addition, the number of humans who escaped at that time was very small, and it is possible to lose history or forget the past, so it is better not to make rash judgments. It is not troublesome to collect information anyway. Turn back. Let Qu Jie see it for herself.

They got it wrong, and it's clearly their fault.

But Qu Jie judged for himself that it had nothing to do with them.

The next step is undoubtedly to continue to expand, continue to explore and label all civilizations that are suspected of human civilization.

And when expanding, we must try to avoid those civilizations that are suspected of being human civilization, or be a little more polite when dealing with those civilizations that are suspected of being human civilization.

At least not directly engage in operations such as genocide and slavery.

They mainly use coercion and inducement, internal instigation, and even support for the forces that are willing to rely on them, so they try to reduce casualties as much as possible, lest any one of them suspects that it is human civilization.

It's hard to explain to their mechanical emperor.

Anyway, it's just a little more trouble. Their mechanical clan has a very long lifespan. It's hard to die if you don't want to. It doesn't matter if you waste some time.

When the thousand-year period came and they sensed Qu Jie's awakening again, Huang Tian Qing Tian and the other nine Heavenly Lords quickly tore the space passages from their respective areas, descended directly to the conference table, and then exchanged greetings with Qu Jie. After a few words, they handed Qu Jie all the suspected human civilization information they had collected.

While they were taking advantage of Qu Jie's review of the information, they seized the time to formally convene the upper council. Anyway, it would take some time for Qu Jie to carefully review the information.

This time is enough for them to hold a meeting.
