Chapter 589 Devouring and Anti-devouring!
Just saw the scene of the Iron Yuan people and the Flying Star people 5,000 years ago in the ceremony, but Xiong Wuji's words shocked Li Yao: "What!"
"Tieyuanxing can't hold on."
Xiong Wuji had no expression on his face, and every bunch of muscles on his face seemed to be cast by iron. "For five thousand years, our Iron Yuan people have struggled to survive, reproduce and expand, and have almost completely occupied the eastern part of the continent under his feet, and it seems to be a cluster of flowers and thriving!"
"But in fact, we have reached the limit of expansion and reached the peak of development. Next, we are the endless abyss straight downward!"
“The key is the resource.”
"Every battle of heavenly tribulation consumes a lot of resources. Just dealing with this battle of heavenly tribulation, almost exhausts all the ore veins near Feixiong City, and only then has so many war equipment and crystal bombs refined, all of which are exhausted."
"The spoils harvested by the alien beasts are not enough to make up for them."
"It's not just the Crazy Bear Tribe, but the other five tribes are the same. All the mineral veins will be exhausted in decades. If you want to discover more resources, you must build new mining sites and towns further apart."
"But building new mining sites, towns, and maintaining supply and transportation lines along the way requires a lot of resources to consume, and you must also beware of monsters along the way. If you are not careful, it will be more cost-effective!"
"The senior executives of the six major tribes are all aware of this matter. Judging from the current development model, we can persist for a few decades at most. After seven or eight heavenly tribes, the oil well will be dry and it will be difficult to sustain."
"Everyone is thinking hard about good strategies. Such as improving our excavation and smelting technology, and being able to collect mineral veins deeper underground..."
"But no matter what method it is, it requires a lot of time and resource investment. Technology upgrades are not something that can be done overnight. They often require decades, even hundreds of years, and generations of unremitting efforts. They also have to take a lot of detours and invest massive resources in countless basic disciplines!"
"However, we have neither time nor resources!"
"The eruption of the heavenly tribulation egg once every ten years forces us to invest all resources to deal with it, and the usual harassment of monsters makes us tired of dealing with it, and there is no extra resources at all, and we conduct basic research for a hundred years!"
"I had never figured out why the egg of the heavenly tribulation exploded in such a strange form, but after hearing what you said, Li Yao, I understand!"
"The outbreak of the Egg of Heavenly Tribulation is a targeted 'technical blockade'. It locks down our possibility of progress in basic research. It forces us to invest all resources into the field of war, and upgrade according to the war model it sets!"
"When this 'upgrade' lasts for tens of thousands of years, we will abandon everything in human civilization and be proficient in the war mode of giant civilizations. Perhaps, as you said, 'we' will become 'them'!"
Xiong Wuji said, Kuiwei's body trembled slightly.
Sha Magnolia was behind her. She put her hands on his shoulders, but there were also wisps of panic flashing in her eyes.
"I understand. I understand all..."
Xiong Wuji murmured, "In the past, I often wondered about one thing. The Giant War Clan is obviously a race that only knows killing but does not know how to build, but why do they have such excellent weapons. Many of the weapons are made of special alloys. I don't know how much smelting technology is better than us, and it requires a strong industrial level!"
"Now think about it, this is very likely to be related to the 'Egg of Heavenly Tribulation'!"
"The eggs of the heavenly tribulation, including the Zergs we see in the Giant Spirit Illusion, are most likely the production tools of the Giant Spirit War Clan!"
"They grazed Zergs, just like we grazed cattle and sheep!"
"They inserted the eggs of the heavenly tribulation deeply into the ground, and the eggs of the heavenly tribulation will grow into strange 'roots' to collect resources in the underground ore veins, and then breed a large number of strange beasts!"
"These strange beasts are the best 'metal processing plants'. They will remove impurities from minerals through wonderful biochemical reactions, extract the purest metals, and even combine several metals together to turn into super alloys!"
"Not to mention, these strange beasts themselves are heavenly and earth treasures containing a lot of spiritual energy!"
"The Giant Spirit War Clan will graze these strange beasts. When the time is right, they will burst out the eggs of the heavenly tribulation, kill these strange beasts, obtain super alloys and treasures in the strange beasts, and arm themselves!"
"I guess, this is the survival mode of the Giant Spirit civilization!"
"Now, the Giant Spirit civilization is to guide us, give up the human survival mode and embark on their path!"
Li Yao took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly, "It makes sense. Use the eggs of the heavenly tribulation to collect resources deep underground, use the alien beasts to purify and merge these resources, and finally the giant war clan will kill all the alien beasts. On the one hand, they can satisfy their killings, and on the other hand, they can also obtain a large amount of resources!"
"In this way, no industrial foundation is needed, and a large amount of super metal can be obtained to refine invincible weapons!"
"Indeed, it's very consistent with the style of the Giant Spirit War Clan!"
Xiong Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "It's not stopping!"
"In the giant illusion, I have transformed into a giant war tribe several times, hiding in some vesicles that are thousands of meters long and tens of thousands of meters long, like giant beetles. From one planet to another, we start a new battle!"
"Maybe, these huge beetles that can cross the starry sea are the "interstellar battleships" of the Giant War Clan. They use this method, like locusts passing through the border, devouring each planet one by one."
Li Yao said: "I have experienced it too!"
Xiong Wuji said: "Perhaps, tens of thousands of years later, when all the Iron Yuan people are transformed into the new 'Giant War Clan', they will also master this 'Starship Beetle' modulation method, use the 'Sky Tribulation Egg' to collect the earth's center resources, and modulate countless starship beetles, and then "
"Rampant the entire Flying Star World!"
Li Yao shivered secretly: "Although it's a guess, it can be justified. Of course, the appetite of the Giant Spirit War Clan is not as simple as a planet!"
Xiong Wuji smiled hard and said, "Now you should understand why I was so arrogant and suggested to contact the Flying Stars?"
"The inheritance of the Giant Spirit civilization is like a ball of thick ink, and our Iron Star is a glass of water."
"Put the thick ink into the water cup, and it won't take long to get the whole cup of water contaminated."
"But the Flying Star Human civilization that spreads throughout the Flying Star Realm is like this pond!"
"Even if a thicker ball of ink is thrown into this pond, it will be completely diluted."
"That's not the giant civilization transforms us, but our human civilization, completely swallowing it up!"
"This is a war!"
"Maybe the Giant Spirit civilization was extinct billions of years ago, or maybe its civilization is millions of light years away from us!"
"But these are two civilizations, a war that spans infinite time and space!"
"If we Tieyuan people continue to be self-confidence and are unwilling to contact the outside world, sooner or later, they will be completely transformed by the Giant Spirit civilization and eventually affect the entire Flying Star Realm, even the human civilization outside the Flying Star Realm!"
"But, I believe that as long as we concentrate the power of the Iron Genocide and the Flying Stars, we will definitely have a way to completely solve the mystery of the giant civilization, analyze these "Eggs of Heavenly Tribulation" and the magical powers of modulating strange beasts!"
"At that time, we will completely devour the giant spirit civilization and will definitely become stronger!"
Xiong Wuji's eyes were shining. Although he was just sitting on the big bluestone, Li Yao felt that the momentum he emitted was stronger than when he was fighting against the natural disaster-level beast!
A showdown between two civilizations spanning billions and millions of light years!
Li Yao was shocked by this magnificent guess and was a little breathless.
He also deeply understood why Xiong Wuji, the number one warrior of the Sixth Iron Yuan tribes and the strongest man on the Iron Yuan star, proposed to contact the former "traitor" and today's Flying Star people.
Li Yao said: "Captain Xiong, what are you going to do?"
Xiong Wuji pondered for a moment and smiled bitterly: "For thousands of years, the gap between the Tieyuan people and the Flying Star people has been too deep, and the ice wall cannot be thawed overnight."
"Actually, as early as a thousand or two years ago, the Flying Stars sent representatives to Tieyuan Star to restore the exchanges between the two sides."
"But at that time, the resources on Tieyuan Star were relatively abundant, and our predecessors were also constantly breaking through on the road of Qi refining, from level 50 to level 70 to level 90."
"At that time, everyone thought that we could break through without limits along the way, and really break through one hundred levels, five hundred levels or even one thousand levels."
"Therefore, the seniors at that time flatly rejected the communication requests made by the Flying Stars and drove them all out."
"Later, there were also many incidents of the Flying Starships forcing the Flying Star to land on the Iron-Origin Star."
"You know, most of the areas on the Iron Planet are rough oceans and dark continents, not all under our control."
"Even in the area controlled by the Sixth Ministry of the Tieyuan are full of large wastelands, with monsters rampant, so we can only save a few towns and transportation lines."
"So, the passengers on the starship were not very good, either being swallowed by monsters or being killed by savages from the Dark Continent."
"As a result, it spread rumors and spread to the Feixing people. They regarded Tieyuan Star as a forbidden area for cultivators, and treated us all as savages who eat raw meat and drink blood!"
"This concept cannot be reversed in a moment. My idea is to first send a delegation to the depths of the starry sea to contact the Flying Stars, so that they can see what the Iron Genocide looks like today."
"If possible, we can also make some transactions and exchange them with the unique magical powers or resources of both parties!"
"In addition to taking the first step and initially eliminating the wariness, it is not too late to talk about the next large-scale exchange!"
