On this day, Zhang Xiaoman didn't go anywhere.
He has been staying in the hotel, connected to the Dark Star Alliance network through the equipment provided in the room, and has a thorough understanding of everything here.
When we were on Erin Star, although the Lecentra was also equipped with corresponding intelligent equipment, it was unable to connect to the quantum communication network, so it could only learn what was already in the database.
But it's different now. Being able to log in to the Internet allows him to understand the world more quickly and comprehensively.
By reviewing historical information, Zhang Xiaoman learned that the Dark Spirit Star Alliance was founded 16 million years ago and was jointly formed by twelve advanced civilization races. It is also the youngest star alliance in this universe.
Unlike what many people imagine, the universe is not an infinite space. Its size is actually limited. This is the same as the original space owned by Zhang Xiaoman.
Although the current boundary of the original world is still very low, it is essentially a real universe, but its size and boundaries cannot be compared with those of the first universe and the second universe.
In the second universe where Zhang Xiaoman is now, this world can basically be divided into four star fields, and each star field can be roughly divided into five giant nebula clusters and more than a hundred supernova clusters. As well as countless spiral galaxies and countless small galaxies.
Beyond this, there is a place known as the Chaos Forbidden Zone, which is filled with a large number of spiritual gap storms, and even the most powerful gods cannot set foot there.
In fact, Zhang Xiaoman also came into contact with the edge of the universe in the original world, which is a zone that cannot be peeked, touched, or enjoyed.
Even if he is the master of the original world, he cannot break this rule, because outside, there is real nothingness. Only when he breaks all the rules of the universe and successfully transcends everything can he possibly touch that realm.
In this universe, according to known records, there are currently four major star fields. They are: the oldest "Egus Star Field", the "Benini Star Field" ruled by swarm drones, The "Insect Territory" occupied by star beasts such as the Wild Zerg Clan, and the youngest "Dark Spirit Star Territory".
As the new Dark Spirit Star Territory, the star territory it controls is also the smallest. Compared to the eight giant nebula clusters occupied by the largest insect realm, the Dark Spirit Star Territory only occupies two.
The establishment here was actually based on the brutal wars that had occurred. The predecessor of the Dark Spirit Star Territory was once part of the Insect Territory.
But as the Huiling tribe living here, they naturally do not want to face the risk of their home being destroyed by the insect swarm at any time.
So, the battle of resistance begins.
In the beginning, there was only one core race of the resistance organization, and that was the current Protoss Council, which was composed of powerful protoss.
They summoned other weak races to help them unlock their dark spirit talents and teach them dark spirit skills to join forces against the Zerg.
As time went by, the voice of resistance grew stronger, and the number of core races also gradually increased, eventually evolving to twelve, which are now the twelve elders represented by the Dark Star Alliance Protoss Council.
After the successful establishment of the Dark Spirit Star Alliance, after 15 million years of war, in the 15th year of the Dark Spirit Era, the Desolate Zerg race in these two giant nebula clusters was completely eliminated, and they successfully obtained their own territory. .
In other words, the Dark Star Alliance that Zhang Xiaoman knows now has actually just entered the peaceful stage.
Of course, the "just" here refers to its long history of struggle.
After all, Zhang Xiaoman was established for 16 million years, but he spent 15 million years resisting the Zerg. That mere 1 million years of peace was nothing.
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh at this. The long war experienced by the Dark Spirit Star Alliance allowed him to see what a real cosmic war was.
Compared to the battles that lasted for tens of millions of years, the wars between low-level civilizations he knew were more like playing house.
In addition, Zhang Xiaoman also learned about the basic situation of other star regions, such as the ancient Aigus civilization. They also control a large area, covering five giant nebula clusters.
Different from the powerful Dark Spirit technology in the Dark Spirit Star Territory, the people of the Aigus civilization pay more attention to their own physical strength and rely less on Dark Spirit weapons. I heard that the star pattern system practiced by people in the Dark Spirit Star Territory is now , which was passed down from the Aegos civilization.
As for the other Bell star field, it is a place ruled by swarm drones, which are a species similar to intelligent life. Their appearance looks like drones, just like many aesthetically peculiar ones. Like the space battleships built by the race.
No one knows where they come from, not even the ancient Egus people can tell their origins, as if those drones have existed since recorded history.
And the most incredible thing is that the Bell tribe - that is, the drones - can actually use dark spiritual power. They cannot cultivate dark spiritual power themselves, but they can cultivate and mine mineral veins. , arm themselves with dark spirit materials, so that they also have that power.
In the Bell star field, there is almost no life form, because all the living planets there were killed as soon as they were discovered by the Bell family.
These drones seem to have an instinctive hatred of life. Not only humans, they will also attack the Zerg indiscriminately. The two have even fought countless battles.
On the surface, the Bell tribe seems to be the most dangerous of all races. In theory, it is similar to the Desolate Zerg tribe, and they are all targets to be eliminated first, but this is not the case.
First, the Bell Star Territory and the Insect Territory maintain the largest contact area among all star territories. This allows these drones to help the other two groups significantly delay the invasion of the Zerg.
It turns out that the Bell tribe is actually very "harmless".
According to observations, although they have the instinct to kill all non-native life forms, they have no enthusiasm for territorial expansion. Unless the planetary resources in the area where they live are fully exploited, they will basically not be able to do so. Will be migrated.
Therefore, for countless years, the Bell tribe has almost never invaded other star regions. They have always "kept their duties" and played in their own mineral veins. If others do not attack them, then everyone can live in peace.
According to expert inferences, based on the current resource reserves in the Bell Star Territory, it will probably be at least tens of billions of years before they exhaust all the resources.
Among the three races, only the brainless Zerg race likes to go to the Bell Star Territory for a change of taste and taste the taste of iron lumps. The other two races are also happy to see this scene.
However, there are many interstellar mercenaries who like to run to the territory of the Bell tribe on weekdays, because those drones are made of special dark spirit materials, which are equivalent to moving dark spirit weapons. Catching them is equivalent to After grabbing a large sum of star coins, someone will naturally take the risk and try it.
But the Bell clan is very powerful, and the average number of dark weapons per capita is no joke, so the risk of this job is very high. Unless you are particularly short of money, or have absolute confidence in your own strength, you will not do it. Easily venture into their territory.
As the saying goes, if you want to understand a strange place, you need to first understand its history. Zhang Xiaoman happened to be very interested in the past of these races, so he simply found some basic and detailed historical books and read them. The whole night passed before I knew it.
It has to be said that the quantum communication network is really a great masterpiece. Basically everything he wants to know can be found online. This has been a huge help for Zhang Xiaoman to quickly integrate into this interstellar era.
The whole night was spent in his understanding of this world. When the external day and night simulation changed to late night, Zhang Xiaoman closed the connection with a slight tiredness.
Even with his current energy, after reading with all his strength for nearly ten hours, he still felt a little tired.
Fortunately, the whole process was played back at ten times speed, which gave him a basic understanding of what he wanted to know. With his understanding of the history here, when he now looks at the Dark Star Alliance, he doesn't realize that there is something more in his mind. sense of identity.
After ordering a few more delicious foods, Zhang Xiaoman comfortably enjoyed the seaside view at night in the large swimming pool outside the room before going back to the room and falling asleep.
…
The next day.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door, waking Zhang Xiaoman from his sleep.
"Ziwei, this is not the Lecentra! If you knock on the door, you will have to pay for it!"
He has experienced this familiar method of waking people up many times in the past three years.
"Squeak"
The smart house manager opened the door with Zhang Xiaoman's consent, and at the same time sent a maintenance bill worth 10,000 star coins to Ziwei's personal terminal.
The moment he received the bill, Ziwei scratched his messy purple hair in annoyance, showing a regretful expression.
"Let me tell you, this little door can't withstand your efforts. I'm really surprised. There is obviously a housekeeper here. You can just ask me to tell you no. Why do you have to knock on the door so hard? ?”
Zhang Xiaoman said while using a cleaning spell on himself.
At the same time, he couldn't help but think of the scene where this aunt blew up a mountain with one punch. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that you only lost one door. If you had been stronger, you might have to pay the entire hotel.
"I'm not used to this..."
Ziwei looked ashamed.
Zhang Xiaoman sighed.
"Okay, what's the point of you coming to me in such a hurry? We don't need to repair the spacecraft now."
"no, I'm fine."
Ziwei waved his hand and said:
"I'm going to the trading market to buy something. I heard you said before that you were also going to buy some materials, so I came to ask you if you wanted to go with me."
"Oh, that's it. Let's go then."
Zhang Xiaoman yawned, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:
"Huh? Are your hands growing?"
He also saw Ziwei waving his hand, and then he realized that this woman originally only had one arm, but now she has two arms again.
"Hehe, yes."
Ziwei scratched his head, stretched out an arm, and said with a smile:
"I went to the medical center yesterday afternoon and had my arm reattached."
Zhang Xiao looked at her with suspicion for a long time, and said with some uncertainty:
"This...is Skull Star's technology so powerful? Why do I feel like your arms are just like the original ones...?"
Ziwei was suddenly startled when he heard this, then quickly retracted his hand and stretched out his other arm.
"Ahaha, I made a mistake, I made a mistake, it's this one!"
Zhang Xiaoman's face darkened, and he suddenly had the urge to take off her arms again.
After looking at it again, Ziwei's newly reattached arm seemed to be the same as the previous one, except that it was whiter and the skin was more tender.
"Is it really okay to use this...new hand of yours? Will there be any rejection or incoordination?"
Zhang Xiaoman expressed curiosity about this.
Logically speaking, this newly attached arm is more or less not as good as the original one. In addition to not being able to display its original strength in battle, it will also affect your future practice.
But looking at Ziwei's look, it was obvious that she was not worried at all. She waved her arm and said:
"Don't worry, actually this can't be considered 'picked up', but something I grew myself!"
"Grown?"
"Yes, there are tree shepherds in the medical center. I asked them to perform active regeneration on me, and my hand grew back on its own."
Ziwei is very happy. After three years of living with one arm, she finally has two arms again and no longer has to live with one hand.
"Treeman?"
Zhang Xiaoman was very curious about a word in her mouth.
"Well, it is a rare tree-man race. There are not many of them now. I originally planned to go back to the headquarters to find it, but I didn't expect that there is one on the Skull Planet."
Ziwei explained, then put on a pained expression and continued:
"However, the active regeneration technique consumes a lot of money for the tree shepherd. It can only be used a few times in a lifetime, so the fee is very expensive. I spent... 14,567... 50 million to buy this opportunity. ! But I feel so distressed!
! "
"Fifty million star coins? So expensive?"
"Yes! Active regeneration can completely repair limb damage, so that the regrown arm will be the same as before, without any difference! Although there are other cheap methods, there are more or less flaws. I will become How can an extraordinary woman save money in a place like this!"
She couldn't help but feel a sense of distress on her face as she spoke, and it was obvious that she didn't mean what she said.
