Chapter 20.08 (Part 1) Contact with the “Behemoth”
In the "First Pact Star" of the Behemoth Nebula, in the No. 13 Survival Base, humans are training spiritual language. On the side, tens of thousands of tons of giant metal war weapons are being assembled in high-energy cubes.
detection.
In a pure blue cubic energy body with a height of 300 meters, a width of 50 meters, and a length of 100 meters, engineers are calibrating one by one and then putting them into an energy tunnel to complete the armament in the space inside the energy tunnel.
compression.
When Fan Hong was descending in the energy elevator, the radio in the base sounded, a heavy and sexy announcer's voice:
"The trend of evolution is not to find a God and let God choose the goal on behalf of all living beings."
This voice in the tunnel is like a guiding teacher who is with Fan Hong.
He raised his head and looked at the bright end directly in front of the tunnel. Inside a huge metal head with a diameter of thirty meters, energy lines were being connected. This was the head of the giant thing he was going to drive next.
At this time, the voice continued to say:
"It's about determining the trade-off route yourself and practicing it correctly as someone who has experienced the route."
The head slowly began to connect with the larger body, just like the assembly of a battleship, with the force field lifting various large components to form combat armor.
As a pilot, Fan Hong looked up at this mecha.
The narrative continued to echo in his ears: "As a human being, whether we choose the greatest possible development, whether it is the greatest possible path, we are still moving forward despite being stained with mud and blood."
...Fan Hong entered this combat robot, and his consciousness expanded in the carbon-based nervous system of this large creation, like a flame igniting...
In the underground space, humans began to prepare for war, arranging production according to celestial mapping data.
Wei Keng is making final negotiations with the interstellar behemoth humans: "As civilizations, we can merge, but as species, it's life and death."
This kind of negotiation is not to be gentle, but to set a clear limit for one's own war goals in the future.
Wei Keng: Because if you don’t control the boundaries and execute a war with the goal of exterminating another intelligent species, once the opponent has variables, the war will be forced to continue because of the opponent’s possibility. Even if you win, you will develop yourself.
Bury the glass ceiling, and then bury self-destructive contradictions.
In the abyss planet, after the contact began, the humans of the Shuoyuan faction and the humans of the Behemoth Gene faction were fighting for their routes.
Wei Keng: Since it’s a fight! Let’s make it clear.
At this time, the ancient behemoths on the planet still have a superficial dislike for the newly arrived Shuoyuan Sect.
This group of humans, who call themselves the Shuoyuan Sect, are constantly drilling and mining in the granite area, and the noise they produce interferes with the perception of the natural ecology here.
For the sleeping monsters, it is like the sound of an electric drill drilling into the wall of the neighbor's house next door, which is particularly annoying.
Furthermore, the wealth created by this annoying neighbor is indeed eye-catching.
The Shuoyuan faction's large number of mineral pools and space energy networks fully demonstrate the "farming civilization"'s abundant wealth accumulation for sustainable development.
…The conflict between nomadic herders and farming is not just about mutual disapproval in life, but also about the uneven distribution of wealth…
In space, Shuoyuan has completed a magnetic filter with a scale of 420 Pacific Oceans. This collection efficiency is much higher than relying on the gravity of the planet to naturally attract matter from the nebula.
This filter captures many materials from space, the most abundant of which is water. Eight streams of Amazonian water filled Crater 4 in eighty days.
"Water", a hydrogen-oxygen compound, is not considered a precious element in the universe, but due to its considerable demand, it has become a commodity.
In the past, the water source collected by the abyssal planet according to its own capture capacity did not exceed 10 billion tons per rotation cycle, but the Shuoyuan Sect's current collection capacity can completely create an ocean on the surface of the planet.
In the early stage, Master Wei did not plan for war, but planned to use economic means, that is, to prepare water resources, to trade with these giant beasts.
But, in terms of pricing, buyers always want to set a lower price.
In the ancient industrial era, even though some countries had no productivity, it did not prevent them from being picky. Because they saw that you had more productivity and thought that you should be cheaper.
For example, these buyers said: "You people are so small, you don't need so much water."
Compared with humans who have transformed into giant beasts, the native humans who are like ants at this time do not seem to need so much water to maintain basic life. If you live on your own planet, you should pay tribute.
The giant beasts have no intention of trading at all. They feel that they are powerful, and during the exchange, they even regard the items they give as rewards to encourage the "weak" to work.
Narrator: In the ancient industrial era, the core of the so-called free trade in the early industrial countries that developed imperialism was the same. It encouraged less developed countries to the greatest extent possible and supported them in the downstream industrial chain. They seemed to be equal in trade.
In fact, it is a "reward" mentality.
This is the mentality of the giant beasts now. In the value system of respecting strength, Shuoyuan humans currently do not use force to dialogue, so in the logical chain, they do not know "equality".
However, from the perspective of the Shuoyuan School, as the party that produces resources, it should have the first planning right over resources.
However, in planning for the "weak farming humans", the giant beasts believe that farming humans should not consume too much resources.
Modern times: This logic of caring for producers can be found in every corner of the entire era.
For example, "bureaucrats think about how to stimulate consumption for young people", "capitalists think about how to make better use of time for workers", "pirate countries think about how to reduce emissions for developing countries", "the wave of people with the highest per capita meat consumption
People who have just started eating meat are thinking about how to adopt a healthy vegetarian diet to reduce environmental damage”…
Mr. Wei: "Hey, you really think I am not cunning enough to lift the shovel, or you are too confident in your teeth."
...The conflict between humans and humans is rooted in their different logics. They mistakenly believe that the other party should obey their own logic...
Shuoyuan Party's hydrocarbon resource planning is not only the most basic use to maintain physiological needs, but also larger and longer-term development plans.
Water is the most stable hydrogen-fixing material under human physiological normal temperature. To put it bluntly, this is a safe "nuclear fuel storage warehouse" that can be touched by hand.
The internal energy of the behemoth is also extracted from the nucleus, and its energy storage tissue also uses water as an intermediary to store hydrogen stably.
The Giant of Light that the Shuoyuan Sect wants to create is based on the same technical principles. To create a physiological structure similar to that of a giant beast, it also needs to achieve large-scale and stable storage internally. Moreover, it can also bear the lubrication of large-scale structures.
The application of tools in this area is copying the evolution of giant beasts.
Mr. Wei: "What kind of innovation is needed in this area? If we want to compete, no matter whether it is low-end or high-end, let us take a roll."
Wei Keng's list lists these core aspects: energy efficiency, structural stability, and overall balance.
Wei Keng: If I lose, I will admit defeat. If you win, I will stand up and be beaten. Take away my right to development and make us just the cabbage you support? There is something wrong with your attitude towards life."
