Chapter 1349: Initial story

At the beginning of the story, it was an ordinary world, an ordinary planet, and an ordinary beginning.
It is a small spot in the endless starry sky, a particle of dust in the universe, like every planet that has given birth to life, and fortunately visited this solid planet composed of rocks, metals, and sulfur-rich minerals. After the storm blew the earth, charged particles and strong magnetic fields penetrated the surface rock layers, and the first silicon-sulfur macromolecule with self-replication ability was coincidentally assembled from a hot spring in the shallow surface of the planet. This silicon-sulfur macromolecule became the most complex compound ever on the planet, and also the beginning of the entire story-it luckily survived the change in the material of the hot spring, and fortunately and accurately completed the first copy, fortunately in The temperature of the hot spring keeps stable. In the slow and pure "reproduction" of luck, it took tens of millions of years to cover the rock bottom of the hot spring, and then slowly spread outward. It gradually aggregates, mutates, and fuses with other surrounding materials or other mutated macromolecules. Symbiosis, struggle, compromise, the seeds of life took root, and after hundreds of millions of years of simple reproduction, the first organism that could be called a "cell" evolved from these continuously replicating silicon-sulfur broths.
The original biosphere of the parent star started underground.
After hundreds of millions of years, this cell composed of polymer sulfides slowly "learned" how to combine with other cells to form more complex, more suitable living and migrating complex organisms, and for the first time freely Swim in the dark geothermal broth.
The original underground hot spring has been dying out over time, but the underground "water" system of the parent star has a network structure, and learned that freely moving Archean organisms swim from the depleted hot spring to another nutrient-rich hot spring , And slowly approach a shallow underground river leading to the surface, eventually. These ignorant little life settled in an ancient open-air lake, beginning the next stage of complication, and preparing for the day of fate-stepping on the surface-without knowing it.
The first thing that ran on the mother earth was a small life crawling to the ground. Maybe they are a bit like squashed lizards. Maybe they have tails with degenerate caudal fins, or maybe they have sharp little nails to grab the smooth hot spring rock beds-even ancestors can only rely on guesswork and remains to imagine these ancient little life. They speculated that the earliest parent star creatures would have blue and white scaly skin, silicides forming their bones, and fibrous sulfides forming their soft viscera. They have not yet evolved eyes because the dark hot springs and the lake floor This organ is needed-these blind reptiles once left ancient geothermal sources. They leave the underground river, where nutrients are dwindling, and now they have left an immutable lake: an epic adventure. With their fragile limbs, they carefully grasped the dry surface rocks and climbed to the ground. The thick atmosphere of the primitive mother star rolled up the cold wind and blew on the little moist skin of these small creatures-maybe some timid individuals retreated. But thankfully, the brave among them looked up. To meet this unprecedented dry airflow, at this moment, two billion years have passed since the solar storm that had seeded life on the parent star.
A decisive turning point emerged when these little creatures ran across the vast and desolate land of the primitive mother star, and gradually spread to a large scale: Ancestor Anthers called this turning point the Great Storm Year.
The Spirit's primitive mother star is a massive planet, based on data provided by its ancestors. It may be three times the size of the earth, and it has a powerful liquid core. The intense geological activities in the ancient times led to the surface of super-large mountains and rifts unimaginable on the earth: these mountains and rifts are continuous It must meander through the entire crust, almost like the corrugated paper in a separated breeding box, and cut the entire planet into several parts. In the place where the entire crust is depressed, mountains and rifts cannot continue, but there is a huge ocean. Barrier, just like that, the original parent star was naturally divided into several regions. The natural environment of each area is completely different, and the place with the biggest difference is even two planets-this kind of high drop surface will cause the atmosphere to accumulate too much turbulence, which cooperates with the overly active sun next to the parent star, which brings about Every once in a while, there will be a severe climate change on the home star, and various ultra-large-scale meteorological events unimaginable on Earth. The size and intensity of the typhoon of the primitive parent star are several times that of the earth. A high convective wind can even spread to four-fifths of the planet. Although the period between each time is very long, each time it occurs, the The planet turned upside down.
And this time, an unprecedented storm is brewing on the parent star: it is larger than any storm ever on the planet and since then-it has swept the world, causing worldwide rainfall and hurricane weather, and the largest storm ocean on the parent star. The central part dropped by dozens of meters, and the impact of the tsunami that devastated the surrounding continent. The floods were soaring and swept inland. Fate seemed to intend to kick this planet that is upside down, so it has the most mountains in the northern hemisphere A large-scale crustal collision was triggered: rifts in the towering mountains, floods from the coastal areas drove straight in, and in conjunction with hurricanes and heavy rainfall, this massive shuffle-like meteorological event lasted for nearly half a parent star year.
The primitive biosphere lost a lot in this shuffle, but it did not completely die out. Miraculously, this became one of the reasons for the completely different civilization structure of the Hilling people later: the primitive creatures were sent to all corners of the planet, and In those environments that are so different from each other that they are close to alien planets, evolution begins again. Silicon-sulfur-based life adaptability is tenacious, and its resistance to temperature and humidity is often dozens or even hundreds of times of carbon-based life. They survive tenaciously in every corner of the parent star, and eventually evolved more than ten incredible species. Life department.
The difference between each life system is almost like an alien creature!
Then there is the story of the Spirit. Due to the previous "storm years", global organisms have evolved a dozen or so completely isolated lineages, and half of them have produced intelligent life. This is the original Greek Spirit Man: Yes, the Spirit Man is not a single race, they have evolved independently in the strange environment of the mother star. There are several kinds of creatures with fundamental differences. Although they all have human shapes and walk upright, that is the result of being disturbed by the information of the astral domain. If you divide the two parent star eras into different clans, Study together. You will absolutely think they are aliens from two planets!
Perhaps this is also an ancient inducement for the "clans" of the current spirit apostles.
The spiritual civilization is a relatively rare "multi-species mixed civilization", that is, multiple distinct intelligent species originated on the same planet, and have reached the stage of civilization, and finally formed a mixed culture of civilization. They are siblings, they are the same Brothers and sisters under a civilization. But their life forms have reached the point where they think each other is an alien-that's how exaggerated.
This kind of "multi-species hybrid civilization" is probably very novel in the ordinary worldview of the Earth people, but for me, this concept has not appeared for the first time. Look at the species composition of the Salvation Army: they are from the same Planetary. This is the case of the Spirit people. They are composed of several distinct intelligent species-these intelligent species are also the template for the origin of the future spiritual apostles.
Like many ordinary races, the major races on the primitive mother star also broke out when they first contacted. And because of the fundamental differences in life forms, these wars are extremely fierce—the ancestor Anthers kept mentioning some names when talking about this history: Scorpio, Safa, Storm—these are the mother stars in ancient times. Ethnic group. Before the Greek civilization had formed a unified whole, the planet was occupied by several equally enlightened species. Its division and opposition were even better than the most chaotic times on earth.
But like ordinary races that persisted into the age of the universe. After experiencing the first war-merger, the Schillingers successfully changed from opposing ethnic groups into a unified civilization and began to explore their universe.
The "multi-species hybrid civilization" has a unique advantage that they develop faster in the field of scientific research and exploration, so the Schilling people have mastered superb aerospace technology in a short period of time, and are exposed to the limits of the physical world. Then began to study how to jump out of their universe-and disaster came suddenly at this time.
The abyss that erupted in an inland colony almost destroyed this hopeful civilization almost instantaneously and crossed the final defense line of the mother star in a short time.
This abyss is also the original source of the "Hate of Origin" of the Apostles of the Spirit.
In spite of the stubborn resistance of the Spiritlings, with their strength they were not fully prepared to fight against enemies such as the abyss. Coupled with the magnitude of the abyss power that the primitive mother star faced at the time, the Spiritians finally had to accept the fact that their universe was slowly collapsing, and any fleet and artillery were ineffective against that unknown enemy. of.
With the last resources and the time they fought for, the Spirit people created an ark that can cross the void. On the day when the original mother star was completely covered by the abyss, they began to escape from their homeland universe: this is the history of the ailing civilization. the first time. It was also the last time the whole family escaped, and the birth of the Apostles of the Spirit was shortly after that.
"We are losing ground in the battle against the abyss. It is an" enemy "that cannot be explained by common sense. It is intangible, intangible, and impossible to analyze." It took a long time for Anthers to take the first half of the history of the mother star. Having finished speaking, now he finally talked about the abyss war and the birth stage of the Apostles of the Spirit. "We don't even know that it is a certain kind of evil enemy or just an irresistible natural phenomenon in the universe. We only know that everything eventually becomes Enemy: The longer we fight the abyss, the stronger our hostile forces will be. This is a battle that is impossible to win from the beginning. In the end, the coalition government has to decide to give up its homeland and jump out of the universe. "
"It must have been a risky move back then," Sandora said, nodding.
"Yes, adventure, extreme adventure," Anthes exhaled. "We don't fully grasp the technology of jumping out of the world-the precise model of the multiverse, the indescribable sinister environment between the multiverse, and How to conduct controlled navigation between the worlds, these technologies are all in the exploration stage. We just knew that there is a wider space outside our world. We just knew how to use mathematical rate equipment to create a place that can let us in the void environment. The order field of survival, the war against the abyss has reached the stage of having to flee.
After the first Ark set off, there was no audio. The high-power communication antenna we equipped for it failed for a short time in the empty space. The second Ark used new discontinuous communication technology. After leaving the hometown, it communicated with The base remained connected for a while. But soon he lost his voice-it seemed that trying to jump out of the universe was no different from suicide, but there was no other way, we must keep launching the ark. There is no time to study a sound navigation plan, nor are there enough resources to launch more unmanned test ships. The coalition government has long abandoned the home star defense circle. In the last period of time, the entire family of the spirit spirits shrank in the last colony on the other side of the galaxy, watching the entire universe slowly collapse in front of their eyes. The starlight returned by the deep space probe was fainter day by day. Light and shadow twisted and craziened day by day, and we made everything into an ark in this environment. Regardless of whether these humble things can persist in the void until they reach the next safe world, they must run out without hesitation ... "
"The hometown world may be at the boundary of the Void Quadrant," Sandora suddenly whispered. "The only difference between sailing in the quadrant and sailing across the quadrant is the means of communication. The first ark's communication system must be for continuous Designed to work in the Void, so after crossing the quadrant, those arks are missing ... do n’t worry about them, please continue. "
Anthers nodded, knowing that he probably didn't understand Sandora's explanation: "Finally, the situation has finally improved-the pressure of genocide can make mortals collapse and mad, and it can also give us the explosive power of life in despair. We finally figured out the key to navigating in the void and made rough navigation devices-sounds ridiculous? The ark that was originally launched was not even equipped with navigation devices, like the rudders and sails made by primitive people There are no canoes. You can only drift in the void, this is the primitive ark. "
After the new technology came out, it immediately became a manned spacecraft: as we just said, we have no time and resources to conduct unmanned experiments, and the abyss is pressing step by step. As soon as any new technology appears, it must be transformed into a physical object, and then A group of brave volunteers sent out. At that time, we could not grasp the law of abyss propagation. Its non-linear propagation caused every day to be a disaster, so we could only send people out at this opportunity to prevent missing the last 'safety window'. Finally, we feel that the last time has come. That devastating force is only half a light year away from the final barrier. There is no time to develop new navigation technology or build new ships. The coalition government decided to launch all the manufactured ships, loaded with everyone who can bring them, and jumped in. Void. "
Through the experience of the pioneers in exchange for life, the last batch of arks barely advanced in the void. We even got in touch with several earlier launches and successfully merged with them, but more of the early spacecraft still had no information-they were as if they were thrown into turbulence to detect the water potential of the floating ball, which had long been empty. Go away. "
From that day, the era of the hometown of Hilling was over. The coalition government announced the reorganization. With the approval of the whole people, we abandoned the moderate federal and parliamentary system, and the entire civilization was transferred to the monarchy. The Hilling Empire was established on the ark. "
In order to survive, we have decided to abandon our own interests as an individual and to arm ourselves with a wandering civilization with absolute efficiency, obedience, solidarity, loyalty and courage. Everyone knows that as a wandering civilization that may overturn at any time, only this An inhumane way to survive. "
Despite escaping the parent star, the wrath of the Spirit's revenge has never subsided. We remember the tragic history of the destruction of our homes, and we have been trying to find out the truth of that disaster-scientists believe that it is not natural phenomena that caused the universe to collapse The hometown world was destroyed by something abnormal and not belonging to our universe. In a long study, they finally determined that this thing came from outside the world, from the depths of the void, and was encountered by the Ark fleet. After some fragments of the universe, they determined that more than one world would be destroyed by this force. This last point is very important: we thought that the destructive force would disappear after destroying the homeland world, but it still exists, and it is a universal phenomenon in the multiverse, which makes the Spirit people in a difficult situation. There can be a constant motivation in exile: revenge. "
In the end, scientists decided to call this power: the abyss. "
No one still knows the nature of the abyss, and it is not known whether the pattern attached to the two-dimensional plane is matter, energy, or something else, but at least the object of revenge has become clearer than ever. At this time, other things also happened, and we found that many shortcomings of being a mortal will lead us to not be able to persist in exile for too long ~ EbookFREE.me ~ We will be afraid, will shrink, and will lose fighting spirit over time , Most people ca n’t be 100% frank with others, and they ca n’t be absolutely trusted between people. These shortcomings become more and more obvious as exile continues—in this way, the characterization of the abyss and the face of one ’s own shortcomings All these factors worked together, and finally the new government decided to create a new life form, input all the data of the Greek civilization into these new lives, and let them take over the tinder. "
"In fact, the original primitive plan has already begun as early as the hometown world," Antherston paused, mentioning more secrets. "That was when the homeland world was fighting the abyss, we found that the abyss is more likely to infect the weak-willed Ordinary people, so some people have proposed to create a cold and ruthless combat weapon to replace ordinary people soldiers to fight the abyss. The name of the original body was also mentioned at that time, so it can be considered that the original body was proposed in the hometown era. Project. However, due to the rapid turn of the war, we did not have the time to create this ideal life, and in the early exile, because survival was above all else, this plan was temporarily shelved until we had a chance to breathe and create The original plan was restarted. "
"This is where the Apostles of the Spirit came from." Anthes exhaled, and said a little tiredly.
