Chapter 1246 The land of exhaustion

Li Yao was shocked and vaguely understood the meaning of Su Changfa.

Su Changfa rolled his eyelids and asked with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Li, what would he do if he encountered such a situation in your Feixing Realm?"

Li Yao pondered for a moment and said, "If it were the Flying Star Realm, it was probably led by cultivators, plus a large number of elites among ordinary people, such as martial arts powerful men who have practiced some martial arts, to form a 'successful squad'. No matter how much sacrifice it is made, they must dig out a crystal mine, right?"

"After all, without crystal mines, it will be difficult to rush out of your planets and galaxies, and cannot develop outward. One day, you will be trapped on your mother planet!"

"The Flying Star Realm is different from the Panlong Realm mentioned by Senior Su. Our mother star, "Iron Yuan Star", encountered a heavenly disaster five thousand years ago. The environment has long become extremely harsh. There are also a large number of brave and fierce 'qi refiners', which outsiders can't get close to you! Therefore, we have long since no mother star with rich resources to rely on, and everything depends on ourselves!"

"Struggling to survive in the harsh star sea, the cultivators and ordinary people in the Flying Star Realm are not as delicate as Panlong Realm. When they really can't survive, they will still fight to the death!"

"What's more, I believe that this high mortality rate is only temporary. When the environment of the resource planet gradually improves, the mining and smelting magic weapons are gradually upgraded, and the mining experience continues to enrich, we will definitely find a set of effective methods, which will greatly reduce the mortality rate to an acceptable level."

Su Changfa smiled and said, "It seems that your cultivation civilization in the Feixing Realm is still in the rising period and has not been completely corrupt yet."

"The cultivation civilization in the Panlong Realm is terminally ill and hopeless!"

"Panlong people have been comfortable lying on the rich mother star with too much resources. The good days of hundreds of years of carefree life have long worn out all the noble spirits of hard work, perseverance, aggressiveness and courage to sacrifice in their souls!"

"Average people in the Panlong Realm are spoiled by cultivators, and they regard all the benefits brought by overdrawing the future as natural and legitimate things!"

"And the cultivators were also immersed in the halo of the 'savior' for too long, and gradually lost their way in the cheers and worship of the masses!"

"When the dangerous environment of the resource planet, as well as the hardships and dangers of mining...all the cruel truths are presented to them one by one, all ordinary people and most cultivators cannot accept all this!"

"No one except a very small number of cultivators is willing to go to such a place to die!"

"After all, is it ethical to exchange for cold crystals with flesh and blood, is it 'just', or is it unforgivable?"

"This issue has triggered a long-lasting discussion in the Panlong civilization. The entire society has been torn apart into two factions with opposing ideas. They are becoming increasingly inactive. Everyone consumes their precious time and energy in meaningless conversations and heated debates!"

"This discussion has been going on for decades. Over the decades, the few crystal veins left on Panlong Star are still being consumed rapidly, but the Panlong people have not sent a mining ship to the Resource Planet!"

"Decades later, perhaps stimulated by the precarious resource warning line, the Panlong people finally barely reached a consensus that the crystal mines must be mined, but dead people are absolutely not allowed!"

"Stop talking about dead people, even a little hard work is an act of infringing on human rights and the core concept of Panlong civilization!"

"So, they consumed extremely precious resources and tried to build an absolutely safe and comfortable mining system."

"In this mining system, mining ships are as luxurious as interstellar cruise ships, and the mining base is more comfortable than luxury hotels. Most of the dangerous work is done by psychic puppets. Interstellar miners just sit in the base, face the light curtain, taste the nectar, drink jade dew, and dot the cursor!"

"Even so, there are still not many people willing to go to mining on the resource planet. The very few miners who are willing to work in the frontier think that they have made great sacrifices and have been insatiable to ask for increased salary, benefits and work environment quality again and again!"

"In the end, the salary and benefits of an interstellar miner were several times higher than that of a university professor on Panlongxing. After a large number of crystal veins were mined, they did not send them back to their home star first, but they were uncontrollably invested in the transformation of the mining base!"

"They did not improve mining efficiency, but built a large number of leisure and entertainment facilities in the mining base that were not related to work, which was called the "humanized working environment". They shortened their working hours to five hours a day, and they often threatened them with strikes."

"Haha, you can't have both fish and bear's paws. How can such a good thing be in the universe? It can easily mine crystal ore?"

"Under their arbitrariness, the cost of mining and transportation has been greatly increased, and it has even reached the point where it is not enough to make ends meet. For every ton of crystal ore mined, the fuel, materials, labor costs, energy to drive the psionic puppets, the maintenance and maintenance costs of the psionic puppets, and the starship depreciation loss far exceed the value of a ton of crystal ore itself!"

"Of course such a system cannot last long. Finally, some cultivators who can't stand it have proposed to carry out reforms, but it was too late!"

"Miners and some management on the resource planet formed a powerful trade union, turned into a huge interest group, united to bargain with the parent star, and even extended their tentacles into the parent star government."

"Panlong people regard high welfare and relaxed working environments as basic human rights. Most people in society support mining unions, believing that they are the 'vices' who contribute to the entire civilization and are the greatest people. Cultivators who grew up in this environment cannot take any coercive measures against ordinary people. Under the aggressive offensive of mining unions, they clearly have strong force, but they weakly retreat and compromise again and again!"

"Every time a cultivator gives in, the mining union becomes even more arrogant, and he thinks about asking for better treatment!"

"The miners' statements also make sense at first glance. The crystal stone was excavated. It is mainly for cultivators to practice and provide energy for magic weapons. Of course, cultivators have the greatest benefit!"

"In that case, wouldn't it be natural to ask the cultivator to pay more for this?"

"This theory has not only been recognized by most ordinary people, but even many foolish cultivators have been very much recognized by them. They betrayed their own camp and become a member of the mining union!"

"In this way, the tumor parasitized in the Panlong civilization grew bigger and bigger, and it gradually absorbed the nutrients of the parent star like cancer. Not only did it fail to solve the problem of crystal depletion, but it accelerated the aggravation of this problem!"

"The semi-automated mining system adopts a large number of psychic puppets and has great hidden dangers. As the psychic puppets continue to wear out, invisible risks are accumulating bit by bit, gradually reaching the critical point!"

"Finally, on a resource planet called "Blood Dragon Star", the communication between the psychic puppet and the mining base was interrupted due to the Star Sea Storm. The chip of the psychic puppet happened to fail again. The miner responsible for the safety inspection did not discover it in time, which resulted in an unprecedented mine accident, and more than 1,700 miners died in the accident!"

"This tragic accident made the Panlong people once again begin to doubt the safety and rationality of mining on the resource planet!"

"Is it really reasonable to exchange your living life for the cold crystal? Is it really just?"

"If a civilization needs to be maintained by the death of ordinary people, then what value does such a civilization have?

"Blood Crystal! What you cultivators consume are all the 'Blood Crystals' that are exchanged for the blood of us ordinary people!"

"Such voices are endless in society and are popular in the name of freedom of speech."

"The high compensation also puts the five insurance companies and the entire mining group on the verge of bankruptcy, causing an extremely tragic economic crisis on Panlongxing."

"The mining union took the opportunity to attack. All miners returned to their home planet from the resource planet, launched a massive parade, pointed their finger at the cultivation world, demanding further improvement of work treatment and safety factors. The lion spoke out loudly and offered a whimsical condition!"

"With Pan Longxing's technical level at that time, their requirements were delusional and could not be satisfied at all!"

"This time, the cultivator finally has no way out."

"However, even when it comes to the critical moment of life and death, the cultivators are still unwilling to do so, and they dare not take ruthless measures against the mining union. They start a new job and form a mining team composed of cultivators, who want to solve resource problems on their own."

"How is that possible?"

"After all, the number of cultivators is very small, and mining on resource planets is mostly simple and repetitive and heavy work without any technical content. They go down the well themselves, which is a waste of life!"

"In this way, the crystal stone collection system of the Panlong civilization is barely operating with extremely low efficiency. Over the past few hundred years, the number of cultivators has become smaller and smaller."

"This reduction is caused by two factors."

"First, the crystal ore veins of Panlong Star have been exhausted, and the spiritual energy has become thinner and thinner. It has once again entered a small-scale 'Dharma-Ending Age'. Of course, the number of newly awakened cultivators has plummeted!"

"Secondly, the living environment on the resource planet is extremely dangerous. Cultivators burn their souls and overdraw their lives to mine wildly. The average life expectancy is much lower than when they are on the parent planet, but the accidental casualty rate is greatly increased!"

"In addition, after spending most of the time and energy on meaningless mining, you don't have the time and energy to practice. If you can't improve your realm, you will die and one less!"

"Ordinary people don't think there is anything wrong with this."

"Because, in the struggle between the mining trade union and the cultivation world, the mining trade union has already criticized the cultivators to the point of being bloody and exhausted."

"The crystal stones are dug out, mainly for cultivators to enjoy. Even if we ordinary people don't have crystal stones, we can still live a good life!"

"Most of the Panlong people are bewitched by this idea and are not interested in everything that happens on the resource planet. Anyway, the pony of the ancestors stayed with them is enough for them to be comfortable for hundreds of years."

"For an ordinary person, hundreds of years are really long, and he may not be able to see the end of his life."

"But for a civilization, hundreds of years are really fleeting and fleeting!"

"After this, after hundreds of years of struggle, the once brilliant Panlong civilization finally came to an end."

"The number of cultivators has fallen to the bottom, which is no longer enough to maintain the entire crystal ore vein collection system. All mining bases are in disrepair and half-dead."
