Leidy slowly put down the water glass and looked out the window. The legend touched the pain deep in his heart that he didn't want to mention...
His own family was once prominent, and the family was also a devout believer and supporter of the legend. Like other nobles and slave owners, they always believed that one day the oracle would come to Feida and bring prosperity and beauty to Feida. Will protect them and continue to rule this beautiful planet.
But the destruction of his family caused him to completely change his original intention. His hatred overshadowed his belief in the oracle, and he instead hoped that it would never come.
"Oracles exist," he drawled.
Liu Hanyang, Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang all straightened up in unison and stared at Laidi closely. Even Luo De stilled his cup to his mouth, closed his eyes and stared at him quietly.
Leidy slowly withdrew his gaze from the window, looked at everyone, and then continued: "300 years ago, a group of extraterrestrial visitors visited Fida. They came from the distant stars in the sky, and they took several huge ships. , something like a ship in the sea hovers in the sky of Fida, blocking the sun, blocking people's sight, and occupying nearly half of the sky."
He slowly continued: "They helped the nobles and slave owners extinguish the ups and downs of mutual resistance on Feida, and helped them establish new rules and order, so they were worshiped as gods."
Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun listened with rapt attention. It seems that they are not the first alien civilization to visit Feida. According to Laidi's description, a more advanced civilization came here as early as 300 years ago. .
"What about that city? Didn't this civilization build a huge city on Feida?" Liu Hanyang asked.
Leidy looked out the window again. This time, his eyes were full of confusion and uneasiness. After a long time, he slowly said: "Yes, they built a huge city on the mainland. But the work stopped soon after.”
"Work has stopped? Why has work stopped?" Zhou Yun asked doubtfully.
"According to the older generation, they used oracles to enlighten the high priest on Feida, and asked the Feida people to build a large number of six-sided towers, burn down the forest, and plant a kind of food they brought on the site of the burned forest. Trees.”
"Is it a fluorescent tree?" Liu Hanyang asked.
"Yes." Leidy nodded, confusion and uneasiness still reflected on his face. He let out a long sigh and then continued, "The oracle has inspired the Feida people to wait until the construction of 300,000 six-sided Tower, burn down the forest of 8 Botongyang area, and then plant the same area of trees, the gods will come again, and by then, they will bring prosperity and stability to Feida."
The atmosphere in the hut was stagnant. Everyone was either thinking or bowing their heads in silence, but deep down they were guessing what Leidy had said...
Zhou Yun looked at Liu Hanyang, and from her eyes, he guessed what she wanted to ask.
"According to data previously detected by planetary probes, the area of one Botong Ocean is equivalent to the combined area of 12 Pacific Oceans. The area of 8 Botong Oceans accounts for 72% of the surface area of Fida, and the forest coverage of the entire Fida Only 52%."
Liu Hanyang's answer made Zhou Yun scream instinctively. She couldn't imagine that the Feida people wanted to cut down their own forests and then plant an alien species. In order to fulfill the oracle, they went so far as to destroy it like crazy. The original ecosystem on the home planet.
This was an act of mass extinction.

Why did that alien civilization let the Feida people do this? This is the deep question Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun have at this moment.
The fire in the fireplace is no longer as surging and hot as before, but the flickering flames are still beating tirelessly. It shines on the faces of people from different planets. The same light has different moods.
For Liu Hanyang, Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang, it is a pity to destroy the natural environment on Feida on a large scale. This planet, which is nearly 6 light-years away from the earth, has a unique natural environment like the earth, and has amazing features. The living environment that we yearn for, but now, it is being destroyed by the Feida people.
If it is allowed to continue to develop, let alone the problem of the planet's gravity environment that is difficult for people on earth to adapt to. As far as the natural environment is concerned, the large-scale destruction of forests will make it impossible for people on earth to settle here in the long run.
In the eyes of Lot and Leddy, it is foolish to destroy forests on a large scale and build tall six-sided towers just for the fulfillment of so-called illusory oracles. This is a kind of ignorance and self-deception. the behavior of.
The faces of the two people were not only worried, but also despairing about the future.
"There is one detail that I hope everyone here can think about deeply." Zhou Yun said.
Everyone looked at her in unison, expecting her to continue.
She took a sip of the drink, raised her hand and said, "The Fida aliens are destroying forests on a large scale, but at the same time, the nobles and slave owners also ordered some slaves to plant the seeds of alien civilization on a large scale. Fluorescent colored saplings provided.”
Her words made Lot think thoughtfully, wasn't he one of these slaves?
His family has been planting this kind of tree since he was sensible. It has become commonplace to him, just like another group of slaves who keep burning the forest. Although the two have opposite behaviors, they have a commonality. What they have in common is hard labor.
There doesn't seem to be anything strange about this.
"Is there any problem?" Lot asked.
"The problem is that you have never thought about why you do this?" Liu Hanyang said.
Luo De shook his head blankly. It seemed that he had never thought about this issue in depth. Regarding the hard labor imposed by the nobles and slave owners, there were only two choices before them. One was to accept it, and the other was to resist. The reasons have not been explored in depth.
Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun looked at Laidi, hoping to get answers from him.
Leidy closed his eyes and stroked his beard with one hand, looking calm and calm. After a long time, he slowly said: "The purpose of the nobles and slave owners in doing this is of course to cater to the so-called The oracle, the oracle must have revealed something to them.”
"Then what is the purpose of that foreign civilization?" Zhou Yun asked without thinking.
"Learn to be obedient, remain mysterious, or transform Feida into what the gods want it to be."
Leidy's words caused Zhou Yun and Liu Hanyang to fall into deep thought again. Both hypotheses have some truth. Obedience and mystery can make Feida people willingly worship that alien civilization through faith, but it is only the former. Without any intention, it is meaningless.
If it is the latter, then the large-scale planting of saplings provided by the alien civilization can be explained. Perhaps, the alien civilization hopes to use the hands of the Feida people to turn Feida into the look of their planet. This may be very easy. well explained

The practice of slaves burning large areas of forest.
The two seem to be related. Whether it is burning the forest or planting saplings, they all have a common purpose, which is to use the so-called oracle to enlighten the Fida people to transform the natural environment of the Fida planet and transform it into the alien planet. The environment of the home planet where civilization is located.
Thinking of this, Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun suddenly realized. They looked at each other and smiled. The dark clouds locked in their hearts dispersed, and a sense of relaxation appeared on their faces.
Looking at the expressions of the two people who had been trapped in a mystery for a long time, Xiao Hang looked puzzled, but he guessed most of it, and then said: "Do you agree with the second hypothesis mentioned by Leidy?"
"Yes." Zhou Yun nodded.
"Burning the forest and planting saplings are not inconsistent with each other, but the alien civilization used an oracle to transform Feida into the environment of its home planet." Liu Hanyang explained.
"What about building six-sided pagodas on a large scale? How to explain it?"
"It's not contradictory. Building six-sided pagodas is also one of the ways to consume a lot of wood. A six-sided pagoda is about a few hundred meters high. Can you imagine how much forest is consumed to build 300,000 six-sided pagodas?"
Xiao Hang let out a long breath, and he understood, but after a moment, his stretched face tightened again, and a cloud appeared on his face.
"Any questions?" Liu Hanyang asked.
"I'm thinking, if that alien civilization really wants to transform Feida into the environment of its home planet in the form of an oracle, what is their purpose?"
"Invade our Feida planet!" Luo De said without thinking.
Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun smiled lightly one after another. In their opinion, such an obvious question did not need to be mentioned at all, and its purpose was already obvious.
"Don't you think this method is primitive, inefficient, and stupid? If that alien civilization really wants to take Feida Planet as its own, they can use its advanced technology to transform Feida Planet! "
Xiao Hang's words were like a thunder, causing Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun to instantly fall into confusion. What he said was not unreasonable. For a civilization that can travel far into the universe, if it wants to transform the natural environment of a planet, there is no need to use such methods. It is a primitive and inefficient way, but high technology can be used to quickly achieve this goal.
Didn’t the people on Earth carry out large-scale environmental modifications to Mars through technological means?
Suddenly, Liu Hanyang seemed to have thought of something. He urgently contacted the scientific researchers of the planetary atmosphere exploration spacecraft and asked them to send a scientific research team to the area where the fluorescent saplings were planted to collect some sapling samples and analyze their corresponding parameters.
About an hour later, the detailed report of the sample analysis was passed to Liu Hanyang. With a wave of his hand, the relevant parameters of the saplings appeared in the air above the table.
Data show: This species is a carbon-based life with a life cycle that lasts tens of thousands of years. The diameter of the adult trunk can grow to 10-15 meters, and the crown can grow to a height of 300 meters.
What surprised Liu Hanyang and others was that although the species exudes a fluorescent color, its metabolic system is exactly the same as that of plants on the earth, and it is also the way to absorb carbon dioxide and eventually emit oxygen.
Vaguely, Liu Hanyang seemed to have seen this kind of plant somewhere, but at the moment, he didn't think much about it. It was not uncommon for plants with the same characteristics to exist in the universe. At the moment, the relevant parameters of this species gave him an idea of the approach of that alien civilization. new understanding.
