After the planet Drujana was 'digitized' as a whole, hundreds of millions of sentient beings suddenly returned to their original bustling scene.
In the boundless liquid hydrogen ocean, the fishman tribe patrolled the territory as usual, preying on hydrogen-based beasts in the sea, living and breeding.
However, in various large and small tribes, all kinds of totems and statues that were originally enshrined on high platforms have been completely destroyed, and instead they are worshiped with simple or gorgeous statues with Mu Cang's appearance.
Around the statue, a group of translucent fishmen, led by an old and majestic priest, knelt down with great piety and fanaticism, chanting:
"...our Father, our Lord, our salvation..."
While these hydrogen-based fishmen prayed fervently to the gods, they also exuded an indescribable solemnity and awe.
Throughout the ritual, these fish-people continue to chant the most fervent prayers to their Father, Lord, and Savior.
The fish people recited the words of faith with extremely sincere voices, murmuring feelings of awe and worship.
The simple and pious prayers filled the entire sacrificial place with a sacred atmosphere.
They believe that gods will bless, care for and protect them, and protect the safety of their homes and ethnic groups.
The same chanting sound also appeared in the Jingyuan city-state thousands of kilometers above the liquid hydrogen ocean.
From the liquid city to the gaseous city, from the highest-level commercial district in the East City to the dock areas and civilian areas dozens or hundreds of kilometers below, more than a billion intelligent species of various shapes and forms are all kneeling devoutly, looking towards the distant world. Mu Cang dedicated his faith.
Among them, only Suweita, who is kneeling on the top landing platform, can contribute wisps of his precious wisdom sparks to Mu Cang's body standing at the core of the solar system's 'entity' through mind mapping.
Through the mysterious and mysterious spiritual link, Mu Cang also easily saw the past memories of this aquatic species cultist - the former prince of the Haimu tribe from far away in the vast space.
According to the internal information database of Jingyuan City Governor Pan Lei, the Haimou clan living in the liquid city came from a low-temperature ocean planet 3,500 light-years away from this star field.
About 25,000 years ago, the ocean planet covered by thick ice dried up and was damaged by many interstellar civil wars and foreign wars, turning it into an uninhabitable ruins that was about to completely collapse.
When King Haimu of that era realized that his nation was about to be destroyed, he did not choose to give up, but decided to lead the remaining tens of millions of people to launch a thrilling self-rescue operation——
Escape this planet and head to the stars to find a new home.
In order to escape from his home planet that was about to be destroyed, King Haimu formed an interstellar fleet consisting of more than a hundred large immigrant spacecraft, as well as multiple frigates, destroyers, cruisers and other warships of different types.
Before the core of the planet fell into irreversible collapse, this huge interstellar fleet was finally successfully organized and rushed into the boundless space and towards the unknown Broken Star Territory.
The sea of stars is vast and boundless.
The vast sea of Broken Dao Stars is always full of mysteries and opportunities, but it also hides countless crises and dangers.
After spending more than a hundred years trying to find an ocean planet with a suitable environment but ultimately failing, the desperate and angry King Haimu decided to lead a huge fleet to start a crazy interstellar invasion.
】
He launched a fierce offensive targeting the civilizations of various ocean planets around the corridor of the spirit world, hoping to find a peaceful paradise for his ethnic group.
Unfortunately, most wars are fought over attrition.
In the face of a complete civilization based on the entire planet, a mere wandering fleet has no chance of winning, and there is no hope of winning at all.
Moreover, every civilization that has entered the interstellar era is so alert and decisive. The actions of the Haimu clan will always be noticed by the other party and they will quickly counterattack.
Therefore, facing an invincible opponent, the Haimu people were forced to carry out successive breakouts and retreats after many failures.
After an unprecedented rout, the first generation of King Haimu died in battle, and the second generation of King Haimu, who hastily ascended the throne, decided to lead the remaining one million tribesmen on an uncertain journey to find a new homeland.
They passed through one planet system after another along the corridor of the spirit world, and one gorgeous nebula after another.
Finally, in an unexpected journey, the Haimu clan accidentally broke into the star field where the planet Drugana was located.
At this time, they discovered Jingyuan City State.
Therefore, the second generation of King Haimu and his tribe were attracted by this huge and prosperous scene, decided to stay here, and actively adapted to the culture and lifestyle here.
At that time, the Gaseous Life Senate gave a warm welcome to the arrival of the Haimu clan and properly placed them in the Ocean Satellite City, the predecessor of the Liquid City.
Two aquatic species have lived there for a long time.
Because the Senate believes that they are all aquatic species, this large group of interstellar refugees should be very satisfied with the living environment of Ocean City, and believe that they will become a new force in the construction of Jingyuan City in the near future.
The gaseous nobles are never afraid of too many people, only afraid of too few people.
Because population is always wealth.
This is indeed the case.
The Haimu people, who were fed up with interstellar drifting, fell in love with the anti-gravity satellite city surrounding the main city of Jingyuan City at a glance.
However, the second generation King Umoku, who inherited the legacy of the first generation, was not satisfied with this.
After he arrived at Jingyuan City, fanatical ambition ignited in his heart.
He wanted to seize the dominant power of Jingyuan City and completely occupy this huge city-state.
The second generation knew that this ambition would put him under tremendous pressure and risks, but he still insisted on his beliefs and was willing to keep working hard to realize his ambition.
He wanted to become a true leader and rule the city.
Of course, this is just ambition. The second-generation King Haimu, who knows that he is not strong enough, will still show a gentle and kind face to the outside world.
Because compared with the gaseous lifeforms who accounted for more than half of the population of Jingcheng at that time, even if the Haimu people were added to the other two major aquatic species, their numbers could not reach one-tenth of them.
Moreover, compared with the gaseous lifeform clan that occupies the dominant position in Jingyuan City, the number of extraordinary beings in the Haimu people's clan is also far behind.
Therefore, the second-generation King Haimu suppressed his boiling ambition that was growing day by day. While secretly formulating various possible plans to seize power, he also set a tone for the entire ethnic group's survival that might last for thousands of years.
[No matter what you encounter, don’t resist. Every mistake is your own fault. You must be gentle in character and gentle in your work style.]
Such a tone makes the Haimu people appear extremely low-key and gentle among the various ethnic groups in Jingyuan City, but it also means that they will not be able to compete for more resources to strengthen the ethnic group's power, and will suffer bullying and harassment from other ethnic groups. suppress.
And this is exactly what the second generation wants.
Under his orders, the Haimu people have been engaged in a large number of low-end jobs for a long time.
A lot of hard work is equated with the Haimu people.
All these are actions taken by the second-generation King Haimu to portray to the outside world that Haimu people have no ability to resist and have no ambition to develop.
It was this series of measures that made other ethnic groups, including the gaseous life forms, put down their vague wariness towards them after a period of time, and began to regard them as a useful supplement to the entire system of Jingyuancheng, in terms of low-end labor. .
After realizing this, the second generation King Kaimu also started his new action.
Internally, he actively optimizes the group's unique liquid technology system and fluid interference power evolution system, and vigorously cultivates extraordinary people in his group to improve quantity and quality.
Externally, the second generation actively and diligently establishes connections with other ethnic groups and looks for opportunities for cooperation.
The two closest aquatic species are the targets of the second generation.
He used the unique specialty of the Haimu tribe - spiritual crystalline cobalt element planting technology as a powerful bargaining chip. Starting from the friendship with the aquatic creature group, he spent a hundred years to cooperate with the other two groups in Jingyuancheng that had already The aquatic species that exist establish a highly integrated and inseparable production system for the element crystalline cobalt.
At the same time, based on interest considerations and under the leadership of the second generation King Haimu, the three tribes also established a strategic alliance in which aquatic species advance and retreat together, and aquatic species support each other.
This alliance not only enhances mutual trust and cooperation between them, but also further stimulates the production and sales of crystalline cobalt elements, allowing this specialty to gain wider sales channels in the market.
Since then, with the passage of time, the second generation King Haimu has continued to seek new market channels, and has included the spiritual crystalline cobalt element jewelry and ornaments that are already popular in the market into the bulk export commodities of Jingyuancheng, making This unique product is sold to other distant planets.
With high quality and excellent craftsmanship, these products quickly established a good reputation and reputation in the interstellar market and became the representative products of Jingyuancheng-Haimu people.
After that, the second generation worked hard for a long time and tried their best to turn crystalline cobalt into this famous interstellar gas station-Jingyuan City-State, which can show the outside world the next generation of cheap spiritual crystalline metallic hydrogen. The second cultural business card after Fuel.
After doing all this, the second-generation King Haimu is already old.
He then passed on his inner ambitions and the "Outline of Jingyuan City's Power Seizing Plan" to the third generation of King Haimu.
After the third generation inherited the legacy, after calm reflection, they decided to continue to maintain the 'dormant' state of the entire ethnic group that had been inherited from the second generation to this day, and still maintain an attitude of 'hello, me, everyone, everyone' to the outside world.
But secretly, the three generations were quietly carrying out an important strategy in the "Government Outline".
He used the deleted and modified story of the Haimou people's interstellar escape journey as the main material. At the risk of significantly reducing the output of crystalline cobalt elements, he gathered a large number of tribesmen with superior cultural talents and asked them to mass-produce and produce them under the guidance of strong hands. Various cultural products with the "suffering" history of the Haimu people as the core are launched at low prices.
Among them, it includes different types of music, film and television, games, etc., such as love, seriousness, and compassion.
These cultural products not only profoundly reflect the difficulties and setbacks experienced by the Haimu people during their interstellar escape, but also demonstrate their indomitable, brave and determined spiritual qualities.
The purpose of producing these cultural products is simply to make the 'tragic' image appear repeatedly in them, thus making it a symbol of the Haimu people, a symbol with the attribute of 'victim'.
At the same time, by exporting a large amount of cultural information, the Haimu tribe also gained part of the public opinion power in Jingyuan City.
The plan of the third generation was thus further strengthened.
Sure enough, hundreds of years later, under the wide sympathy and pity of other species in Jingyuan City, the Haimu people completed a real identity change based on the external image of the ethnic group accumulated for many years - a person who has experienced hardship and oppression. , and 'vulnerable' groups who are in urgent need of help and support at all levels.
After the complete change of identity, the Haimu tribe touched and controlled part of the moral high ground of Jingyuancheng in disguise.
It should be noted that under the premise that there is no absolute crushing situation between each other, there is often no need for bloodshed or death. As long as you occupy the absolute moral high ground, you can easily kill your opponent.
After many days of in-depth discussions among the clan's think tanks, it was determined that the status of the clan had completely changed for the third generation, and they began to formulate a detailed and careful plan to "collapse porcelain".
Then, resolutely start.
The content of the plan is very simple. It starts from the aspects of ideology, skin color, ethnic group, wealth, diet and living habits, and sends a large number of old, young and disabled individuals in the clan to deal with them for many years through traffic accidents, neighborhood conflicts, speech collisions, etc. Porcelain 'A young, mature, robust individual within a terrestrial species other than gaseous species.
In various "collision" incidents, the Haimu tribe will always deliberately lose to the opponent, in order to continuously and long-term strengthen their image as a "vulnerable group" among the onlookers and the larger social level, so as to prepare for the next plan. , or weapons to cover.
That weapon is: reproduction.
Or it can be called, ethnic replacement
Compared with conventional warfare, the power of ethnic replacement is undoubtedly huge and safe.
Because conventional war is condemned and costly, it generally ends in failure.
However, breeding weapons can openly allow one's descendants to invade other people's homes, but the other party cannot complain, otherwise they will be labeled as 'ethnic discrimination', 'populism' and other labels.
In the end, as long as the population of a certain ethnic group surpasses the main ethnic group in an area and occupies an absolute advantage, then the land will naturally belong to that ethnic group.
Therefore, reproduction can be said to be the weapon with the lowest cost, the most power, the strongest defensive capability and the most stoicism.
This plan to strengthen breeding was also carried out in full swing after the fourth generation of King Haimu came to power.
Lower the quality of life without any bottom line, just to have more offspring, put aside other technology trees, and only develop reproductive technology.
In this way, the breeding program continued for hundreds more.
By the time King Haimu of the fifth generation came to the throne, the total population of the Haimu people had doubled, reaching one-third of the population of the gaseous lifeform clan.
This year, it has been exactly a thousand years since the Haimu clan came to Jingyuan City.
In this year, the fifth generation finally decided to change the tone of the ethnic group's survival for thousands of years.
They can no longer continue to be cows and horses, they must turn over and become the masters.
After that, the Haimu people began to take a matter-of-fact attitude and gradually strive for more benefits and resources from other ethnic groups, especially the gaseous ethnic group.
Because the people of Haimu believe that they have dedicated a thousand years to Jingyuancheng, sweated blood, and worked hard for a thousand years.
Without them, Jingyuancheng would not be as prosperous as it is today.
At that time, almost everyone in Haimu believed that the city owed them a lot.
And in a traffic accident that was intentional or unintentional, a gaseous being followed a thousand-year habit and bullied the Haimu people on the opposite side as usual, even though he was clearly at fault.
According to the past, the humble Haimu people would inevitably give in without a bottom line, and all mistakes would be blamed on him.
But this time it was different, the Haimu man actually dared to resist.
This angered the gaseous being who was a noble of Jingyuancheng.
In anger, the gaseous lifeform killed the Haimu people brazenly.
The other Haimu people who had been hiding around and taking secret photos later posted the entire process on the public network platform without any deletions.
At the same time, it is paired with a large number of articles that can easily arouse people's sympathy and anger.
This tragic video of the Haimu people being oppressed from beginning to end and finally killed, instantly detonated the entire Internet after the fifth generation Haimu King used the power of public opinion and media.
After that, the other two aquatic species, who were the strategic allies of the Haimu clan, first came forward to stand up for their allies, and they wanted to seek justice for the Haimu people.
Then, other terrestrial species also gave the Haimu people a certain amount of support in public opinion out of sympathy.
Finally, the frequent interstellar business travelers and fleets from other countries also noticed the unexpected incident in Jingyuancheng.
In addition to providing public support to the poor Haimu man, they also brought all kinds of information about the whole incident to the surrounding interstellar civilizations.
As a result, for a period of time, Jing Yuancheng had no choice but to enjoy the treatment of "surprised allies".
As a result, the number of foreign ships taking off and landing in the entire city-state and the number of customers purchasing crystalline metallic hydrogen fuel have decreased.
This made the higher-ups of gaseous life forms, those gaseous elders, very angry.
But unfortunately, this whole incident was too impeccable, and even the gaseous beings who were the leaders of Jingyuan City were unable to defend themselves.
Therefore, when the gas clan, which has been pampered and arrogant for more than 10,000 years, faced this serious public opinion crisis that it had never experienced before, it became increasingly unprepared in terms of response methods. Under the premise, the situation will be stimulated to intensify.
One of the biggest panic moves was to order strict restrictions on the reproduction of Haimu people.
In fact, the Gaseous Senate had already noticed and was vaguely aware of the increasingly serious threat from the Haimu clan earlier.
The general content of this order is: the reproductive cavities of Haimu people will be removed uniformly, and all breeding will be carried out through artificial breeding chambers. Private individuals are not allowed to have children, and violators will be severely punished. The reproductive rights of Haimu people, such as the size of the population, when to give birth, and how to give birth. How much will be decided by the Senate.
So domineering, so fierce.
As a result, an equal rights movement called "Haimu People Are Equally Important" was born and swept the entire city-state like fire.
What is shocking is that other ethnic groups, including many gaseous beings, actually think so. They believe that Jingyuancheng indeed owes the Haimu people.
Under this public opinion situation, the Haimu people, who had been preparing for a thousand years, finally, under the leadership of the fifth generation Haimu King, united with two other major aquatic species to launch a silent challenge to the actual ruler of Jingyuan City.
Here, a war without smoke but full of conspiracy and calculation really begins.
Today I will make the game, tomorrow you will break the game.
After you sing, I will appear.
As the disputes between gaseous species and aquatic species become increasingly fierce, other terrestrial species that have a wide variety but do not dominate in overall number and number of extraordinary beings are also smartly holding the position of 'Whoever gives more, I will help.' He eats both sides of his philosophy and has always been a backer on both sides.
Time continues to pass.
For hundreds of years, in a smokeless war similar to peaceful evolution, the Haimu people became more and more aggressive, and the gaseous life forms also retreated again and again.
Even in the Senate, a place exclusive to gaseous life, more than one Haimu people senator began to appear.
And these Haimu people elders all competed with the gaseous elders.
Finally one day, the gaseous elders who couldn't bear it decided to launch a crackdown and use military force to completely solve the troublesome Uimu clan from the material level.
The gaseous life clan decided to massacre all the Haimu people.
Even if this will lead to economic collapse, paralysis of the social system, huge damage to urban areas, massive casualties, and even alienation from other ethnic groups, even the surrounding interstellar society will look at it in amazement.
Even if there are all kinds of huge crises, they will not hesitate.
Because the gaseous life forms have no other choice but to use the most direct method - ethnic massacre to solve the problem.
After all, Jingyuancheng was created by their ancestors all the way, so how could they allow others to interfere with it.
But what the gaseous beings don't know is that to this day, the Haimu people are no longer much behind them in terms of total population or number of extraordinary beings.
Therefore, when the confident army of gaseous organisms rushed to the ocean satellite city, not only did they fail to achieve their strategic goals, but they were annihilated by the two major aquatic species who had been ambushed for a long time by the Haimu people.
Since then, around this huge anti-gravity city, fierce battles between the two races have continued, and at one point the entire city-state almost fell into the clouds.
Finally, after years of war, the Uimu clan emerged victorious.
Following the day when the Haimu people first arrived at Jingyuan City, the seventh-generation Haimu King, who upheld the legacy of the second generation, finally took full control of this huge city one thousand six hundred years later.
The Senate, which was originally dominated by the gaseous lifeforms, was abolished, and the seventh-generation King Haimu appointed himself as the first-generation governor, beginning an era in which aquatic species completely ruled Jingyuan City.
The first thing the Haimu governor did when he took office was to drive most of the gaseous species into the dilapidated anti-gravity satellite city adjacent to Jingyuan City.
The place had been damaged by the war and the environment was extremely harsh, just the right place to accommodate this group of losers.
The most stubborn element of the Haimu people over the years, the small semi-gaseous species, was exiled to the outside of Jingyuan City.
These gaseous creatures, who had long been accustomed to living a pampered life, were forced out of the city to survive on their own. In a short period of time, they were tortured by the harsh natural environment until most of them died.
Only a small number survive by hunting the gaseous beasts that exist in Drugana's atmosphere while escaping violent storms and dangers.
At the same time, some gaseous creatures with fierce personalities broke into the sea of liquid hydrogen below.
Some died there, and some survived by luck.
As time passed, under the influence of the environment and the stimulation of spiritual energy, these gaseous warriors finally disappeared into the boundless liquid ocean.
But their descendants evolved into something else.
These former gaseous life forms have forgotten their past technology and civilization, and with the barbaric attitude of hydrogen-based fish people, they established tribes in the depths of the liquid hydrogen ocean and survived successfully.
Since then, some of the descendants of these founders of Jingyuan City have become 'urban' legends passed down orally among the lower classes of the city-state.
In this way, time has flowed between the clouds of Drugana for ten thousand years.
During these ten thousand years, the Haimu people have firmly held the position of governor. For twenty-two generations, they have been in charge of the power of the city-state.
During these ten thousand years, the Haimu people have changed from the gentle and kind-hearted people in the past.
They used the most ruthless means to exploit all the ethnic groups in the city, including the two aquatic species that were once allies.
Economy, industry, public opinion, military...all aspects are controlled by the Haimu people, leaving no space for other ethnic groups.
All non-Haimu ethnic groups are only allowed to engage in low-end jobs and can only do dirty work.
The Haimu people even extensively renovated the entire Jingyuan City and built a ring-shaped ocean city around the central wind tunnel that was wider than the current eastern city.
Bits and pieces are left to other species to survive.
All ethnic groups are suffering miserably from their oppression and cannot even escape from the city.
Because all starships are strictly guarded by the Haimu people, the top landing platform is only open to the Haimu people.
Just when all ethnic groups except the Haimu people were numb from despair, a starship from the depths of the Milky Way crossed the vast universe and landed on the landing platform of Jingyuan City.
The starship portal opened, and a giant lobster wearing a semi-mechanical, semi-living shell slowly walked out, as well as a one-eyed warrior wearing black alloy armor.
