"Response, respond? What's the point of dealing with it for so long?" Second Elder Bai Sha's speech changed the atmosphere of the entire meeting.
"Baisha, what do you mean?" Bai Jia asked.
Bai Sha snorted coldly: "I want everyone to recognize the reality!"
"Our Black Sea civilization was a level four civilization at its peak. We once built a Galaxy-class battleship! We even tried to build a star gate!"
"Today, after more than a thousand years of development, where have we reached?"
"Not only did we not build the Stargate, my Galaxy-class battleships were destroyed long ago and the technology was lost. A large number of Starfield-class battleships were also destroyed, the territory was reduced by 80%, the technology regressed, and the population dropped sharply."
"The Black Sea Civilization a thousand years ago was no match for the Zerg, and it is even more impossible for us to defeat the Zerg today!"
Bai Sha's words made Bai Jia furious. He scolded: "As the elder of the Civilization Council, you don't try to solve problems for civilization, and you still say some depressing words here. What on earth do you want to do?"
The other elders all looked at Bai Sha, who had no fear on his face and said: "Great Elder, since we have already said this, I might as well just say it!"
"The Black Sea civilization has reached the end of the road! If we continue to stand here and fight against the Zerg, we will eventually be destroyed!"
"It's better to migrate to a branch civilization and seek development elsewhere. This way, we can retain the vitality and fire of civilization and make a comeback one day!"
"As for the Zerg, the Alliance of Order will naturally deal with it. If the sky falls, someone taller will be able to hold it up. We have been holding it back for more than a thousand years, and it's time!"
After Bai Sha finished speaking, the whole place was silent.
"You...you...do you want to become a sinner of civilization?" Bai Jia was so angry that he couldn't speak fluently.
But Baisha said: "What kind of civilized sinners, Great Elder, go and ask those people, who wants to die at the mouth of the Zerg! We are not afraid of war, but we cannot fight a hopeless war!"
"You ask other people, they all think the same thing!"
He pointed at the elders of other civilized councils. Bai Jia looked at them and asked, "Do you think so too?"
Third Elder Lan Jiao said: "Great Elder, what the Second Elder said is right. More than a thousand years ago, as a fourth-level civilization, we were not an opponent of the Zerg. The starry sky beasts caused us heavy losses! Now we have declined to this point, and we can continue If you go down, you will just die! Why don’t we get together and separate, and each seek survival and development!"
Fourth Elder Lan Long also has the same view, "It's not that we want to split the Black Sea Civilization, but that we have lost the cohesion of a civilization as a whole. Everyone is looking for hope of survival!"
Fifth Elder Hong Lin said: "Great Elder, we are the weakest, and the people of our faction have suffered the heaviest sacrifices. No one wants to die anymore! It's time!"
Bai Ningxiang and Bai Shizao didn't speak at this time, because they knew very well that when the matter reached this point, the Great Elder was helpless, so what else could they do!
Bai Jia also knew in his heart that this day would come sooner or later, but when the day of the disintegration of Black Sea Civilization really came, he still found it difficult to accept it.
He lived for thousands of years and witnessed the rise and decline of the Black Sea civilization!
He missed that time very much, when the entire civilization was full of hope, with new technologies and new things emerging one after another... But now, the civilization is declining, people's fighting spirit is sluggish, and the lack of resources has intensified internal conflicts.
The Zerg attack became the last straw that broke the camel's back. No matter how he tried to save it, there was nothing he could do to save it at this time!
Seeing that the great elder was silent, Bai Sha continued: "The Civilization Council of the Black Sea Civilization can be dissolved here!"
"From now on, we will no longer be the Black Sea Civilization, but as members of the former Black Sea Civilization. Now the sea beast civilization, fishman civilization, conch civilization and siren civilization exist!"
"As once kindred spirits, we can form an alliance, but we can no longer continue to fight for the Black Sea Civilization."
"Is there really no other way?" Bai Jia finally asked.
"No more!" everyone replied together.
At this moment, Bai Jia looked extremely haggard, his spirit and belief collapsed.
He was silent for a long time, then sighed and said: "That's it, that's it. The Black Sea Civilization will become history! Just disband!"
"I'm tired. You can discuss the next thing by yourselves." After Bai Jia finished speaking, he exited the conference room.
Everyone knew that he would not live long.
Although the members of the Black Sea Civilization have a long lifespan, if a person's faith and spirit collapse, no matter how superb biotechnology is, it will be difficult to save his life unless he is willing to become a robot.
In the conference room, everyone began to discuss what happened after the disintegration of their Black Sea civilization.
"After the disintegration of the Black Sea Civilization, the First Fleet will belong to our Sea Beast Civilization." Baisha said first. They were dividing the property of the main civilization. As the most powerful branch civilization, he proposed this condition, and no one had any objections.
"Then the second fleet belongs to us!" Lan Jiao said.
"The defensive fleet in this star domain belongs to us!" Blue Dragon said.
"Our territory is too small and we don't have many resources." Hong Lin said, "Those interstellar engineering equipment should be left to us!"
"A few elders, no, a few leaders of branch civilizations." Bai Ningxiang said to them, "Since you have already divided them up, you can move your things and leave."
"The territory, property, and people who are unwilling to leave left behind by the main civilization will be preserved as the last Black Sea Civilization."
"When you leave, leave us a way to survive. This is our request."
"Bai Ningxiang, the power of the Iceberg Investigation Committee should be divided among us!" Bai Sha reminded.
His words were vaguely threatening. Although the Iceberg Survey Committee did not have many resources, who wouldn't want more?
"Second Elder, there is no need." Bai Ningxiang said, "You have emptied everything of value. If you forcefully take it from us, we will resist. There will be unnecessary sacrifices and losses."
"Furthermore, we have formed an alliance with the Blue Star Civilization and will continue to protect this star field. I think your civilization needs to develop vigorously now, and you don't want to be involved in another war, right?"
"How ridiculous!" Lan Jiao said disdainfully, "Blue Star Civilization is only a second-level civilization, but it can be your backer! You really embarrass the Black Sea Civilization!"
"Whoever hollowed out the Black Sea civilization knows it himself. You are not worthy of standing on the moral high ground to accuse us!" Bai Ningxiang said coldly, "In short, if you want to leave, be quick!"
"You cannot take away any of the military defense forces and weapons within the existing territory, otherwise there will be a war! The ones we leave behind are people who are not afraid of death. If you want to start a war, just declare it!"
"You little girl, you actually dare to threaten us!" Lan Long scolded, "When we became the elders of the Civilization Council, you were not born yet!"
"The Civilized Parliament has been dissolved, and you still use your seniority to suppress others?" Bai Ningxiang retorted.
"That's really interesting!" Hong Lin said, "Do you really think Blue Star Civilization is our opponent?"
"It's up to you to judge for yourself." Bai Ningxiang said without fear, "Although you have star field-level battleships, your branch civilization has not yet become a third-level civilization, right?"
"You also know the Blue Star Civilization's record against the Pleiades Society. I believe you understand the pros and cons better than I do."
When she said this, several elders began to weigh it up.
They originally wanted to directly divide all the remaining resources of the Black Sea Civilization, but now Bai Ningxiang and the others have formed an alliance with the Blue Star Civilization.
If you want to rob, going to war with Blue Star Civilization is not a wise choice.
They say they disdain Blue Star Civilization, but they know it in their hearts. If the branch civilization really wants to fight with the Blue Star civilization, it may not be able to gain an advantage.
If the boat capsizes in the gutter, it will be doomed immediately!
Baisha said: "A pile of junk, since you want it, I'll leave it to you! Then you can be buried with the Black Sea Civilization!"
"When you die, I will set up a major festival in the sea beast civilization to hold memorials!"
Seeing that the most powerful Baisha chose not to collide with the Blue Star Civilization, the other elders naturally did not want to be the leader.
They said: "Since you insist on waiting for death, then we have nothing to say. I hope you can repel the Zerg."
When they say this, they naturally don’t believe it in their hearts.
For Blue Star Civilization, it is very important to maintain the existing defense strength of Black Sea Civilization.
Because the Black Sea Civilization is very close to them, once the Zerg completely occupy their territory, the Blue Star Civilization will also be within the attack range of the Zerg and will inevitably be planted.
Since you still have to face it eventually, it’s better to prepare in advance.
They discussed it for a month, and finally, the great elder Bai Jia appeared and announced the matter.
On the news, the haggard and old Bai Jia announced to the entire Black Sea Civilization: "Our Black Sea Civilization has experienced more than a thousand years of war against the Zerg."
"Civilization has declined, territory has been lost, population has dropped sharply, and the economy has been in crisis... We have gone through so many difficult years, but today, I have to announce something with a heavy heart."
"The current military strength of the Black Sea Civilization is no longer enough to protect the security of civilization and guard our territory. The Zerg will completely conquer us soon!"
"In order to continue the fire of our civilization, by unanimous decision of the Civilization Council of the Black Sea Civilization."
"From today on, the Black Sea Civilization has officially disintegrated! All people and things will migrate to four branch civilizations, the Sea Beast Civilization, the Murloc Civilization, the Conch Civilization and the Siren Civilization."
"Those who are unwilling to migrate and leave their homeland will be managed and protected by the original Iceberg Survey Association and will survive in their homeland."
"..."
What Bai Jia announced caused the entire Black Sea Civilization to collapse!
Although everyone knew that it would not last long, when their civilization truly disintegrated, countless people collapsed!
"We're fucked!"
"The glory is in the past, and now we have become homeless dogs! The universe is so big, is there really a home for us to survive?"
"The civilization I have fought for for hundreds of years no longer exists, so what is the point of my existence?"
"The day has finally come! Alas!"
"Child, leave, this is not a paradise, but a hell!"
The chaos of civilization is inevitable, and several leaders of affiliated civilizations have stood up and called on everyone to join them and build a new era with them.
Bai Ningxiang and others were also very busy. They stood up one after another and called on everyone in the media to stay and defend their homeland.
But there are only a few who are willing to stay. Most members still do not believe that they can hold the territory, and they have gone to the four branch civilizations.
News of the disintegration of the Black Sea Civilization quickly spread throughout the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, and countless civilizations lamented it.
"The Black Sea Civilization was expected to hit the fifth-level civilization, what a pity!"
"A powerful and prosperous civilization has declined to this point in just a thousand years. The Zerg are the greatest terror!"
"When the Black Sea civilization disintegrates, who will contain these Zerg? They will spread to the surrounding star field, and we, the weak civilization, will become the food of the Zerg!"
"The Black Sea Civilization is a major force of the Star Trade Group. Now without them, the strength of the Star Trade Group has weakened. It seems that the time for the Orion Royal Court to launch a war and unify the Orion Arm is not far away!"
The Pleiades civilization was extremely excited after hearing the news.
"The Black Sea civilization has disintegrated, and the territories they left behind belong to us!"
"Without the constraints of Black Sea Civilization, we are the most powerful in this area!"
"There are Zerg species in the Black Sea Civilization, and we must prepare quickly."
He Xingzhou had already learned the news when the Civilization Council was convened, and he immediately made preparations.
"The Black Sea Civilization is disintegrating, the Pleiades civilization may attack us, and the branch civilizations of the Black Sea Civilization may also cause chaos. All star systems are on full alert!"
"In addition, send ten warp speed warships to the Black Sea civilization to help them maintain order!"
Because of the participation of Bai Ningxiang and others, the remaining territory of the Black Sea Civilization is equivalent to being directly taken over by them.
Although most of their resources have been taken away by several major branch civilizations, they are still a former fourth-level civilization, and some remaining wealth is enough to allow the Blue Star Civilization to grow.
Moreover, He Xingzhou believes that Blue Star Civilization must defend this star field to prevent the Zerg from rapidly spreading into their territory.
Blue Star Civilization now wants to expand externally, and there are only two directions.
The first is to attack the Pleiades civilization, which is a huge risk and lacks strength; the second is to accept the territory of the Black Sea civilization and clean up the Zerg.
He Xingzhou temporarily chose the second option. Although there are star behemoths and starry sky behemoths here, they will not attack for a while. Blue Star Civilization still has enough time to build defenses and develop weapons.
The disintegration of the Black Sea civilization was accompanied by chaos.
All forces are still snatching resources overtly or covertly, and small-scale wars will break out from time to time.
…
During this chaotic period, the Blue Star Civilization's stellar furnace in the Sirius star system was being built at a rapid pace.
A large number of plasma control devices and antimatter refiners are installed above the star, and the hot energy is converted and stored more efficiently.
As time passes year by year, the size of the stellar furnace becomes larger and larger.
It was not until a hundred years later that the Interstellar Construction Department finally announced that it had completed the construction of the first phase of the stellar furnace. The Dyson cloud built before was only a part of the Dyson sphere.
A complete stellar furnace requires too many resources and the construction period is too long. It will be difficult to complete within a hundred years, so it is divided into three stages.
The first stage is enough to refine a large amount of antimatter for use by the entire civilization!
