Although I am a little surprised that these guys suddenly "lost", if you think about it carefully, it is natural that the development of these civilizations has stagnated.
A civilization can expand infinitely if it has sufficient population and supplies, but "control" has its limits.
For example, if an emergency occurs on a remote planet a thousand light years away from the capital star of the empire, such as a serious natural disaster or being attacked by pirates, it can only rely on its own regular security from asking for help until the empire responds.
Evacuate or resist.
By the time the empire responded, the entire planet was almost destroyed.
As for garrisoning, that comes with a cost. Unless it is a very valuable core planet, garrisoning a remote planet will mean destroying yourself.
This leads to the fact that the survival of these remote planets will be very dependent on the nearest core planet. When the capital star is indifferent, their culture and ideological trend will be closer to the core planet far away from the capital star. In normal times, it is naturally irrelevant. At most
It is some local culture, and once something happens that will shake the foundation of the empire, and this core planet decides to leave the empire, do we still need to consider who will follow these remote planets?
Rapid expansion will lead to a decrease in control or even the disintegration of the entire empire. Leaders with a little bit of thinking will not do that.
Those huge interstellar empires with a radius of tens of thousands of light years that frequently appear in science fiction works would be impossible to exist if they were not enfeoffed and had no means for troops to quickly communicate and reach any part of the territory.
The only exception is the civilization with "Gestalt consciousness". The Zerg has only one consciousness, and the cold machines that only know how to obey orders have no possibility of rebellion.
But obviously Irisen and Cerbolex each have their own troubles, which is why they are "lost".
As for the remaining two... I looked at the boundaries between Ute and Green Light that were still slowly expanding.
Ute's development method of hammering things here and there seems to be that it only selects planets with water sources to colonize, and it is currently stagnant because it can no longer find planets with oceans nearby.
[In fact, many planets still have oceans, but they are not enough for a Ute who is so big to survive and build colonies in them.] Stupid System explained, [Although they are both dragon kings, the Jing Dragon King is definitely a lot lower than the Sea Dragon King.
Cut it off, right?]
This explanation is strong and appropriate in every sense of the word.
However, as for green light...the spores reproduce, eat anything, and adapt to the environment first-rate. How did it stop?
[Well, because it is your creation, the logic may be weird? 】
[Tip: After experiencing the invasion of the 'Dimension Demons' and the 'Thorin Swarm', the Green Light group believed that the Milky Way would continue to be invaded by unknown enemies, and decided to stop expansion and fully engage in weapon research and development in the hope that after an invasion event occurs in the future
Stop it as soon as possible.]
I understand, it’s normal to explode troops at home because of a phobia about lack of firepower. This is not weird at all.
However, it is still early before the next invasion. When Malefia was a "ghost", it seemed that she deceived others and said that it happened once every 50,000 years? If this sentence accidentally came true again, then they would at least have to station troops.
Twenty-five thousand years.
Even putting aside the issue of insufficient resources, the number of troops accumulated over such a long period of time should be...
No, there is no need to forget about it. If the "doomsday element" persists in Green Light's territory, other civilizations may not know that the unlucky guy has appeared.
I was looking at the green light when I suddenly saw a sharp "thorn" protruding outward from Ute's "territory", piercing straight to the other side of the Milky Way.
After thinking about it for two seconds, I figured out what it was: suddenly there was an enclave in its territory.
And in just these two seconds, the "thorn" has turned into a "meteor hammer", proving that the ocean over there is quite suitable for them to survive.
[Tip: When the 'Utes' tried to find a new home, the 'Psychic Leap' resonated with the 'Mass Effect Relay' of the 'First Alliance', transferring part of the Utes to a member of the 'First Alliance'
On the colonial star.]
[After establishing two undersea cities, ‘Ute’ encountered the colony’s species ‘Phosphorus’. 】
['Ute' recognizes 'Phosphorus' as the civilization that manufactures mass effect repeaters, and solemnly invites it to join the Star Ocean Community.]
[The ‘First Alliance’ temporarily escaped from the state of loss, contacted and accepted the invitation of ‘Ute’. 】
No...wait a minute? Although the text reminding my sister that you are serious, something hilarious actually happened, right? It must be, right?
I reminded my sister to ignore me and continue to check messages step by step.
[Tip: The ‘First Alliance’ joins the Star Sea Community. 】
[Since the ‘First Alliance’ itself is composed of multiple races, it conflicts with several regulations of the Star Sea Community. 】
[The two sides finally agreed that the member civilizations of the ‘First Alliance’ would be able to receive preferential treatment from the Star Ocean Community to member civilizations, but they would only count for one vote at the community meeting. 】
No, doesn’t this mean that all the benefits are taken by the First Alliance?
But it seems impossible for the Xinghai Community to know that the First Alliance is already a dominant force.
[Reminder: The First Alliance transferred the 'Fortress' and its maintenance staff to the Star Ocean Community, and promised to build 'Mass Effect Repeaters' for all member alliances. 】
[‘Green Light’ initiated a resolution to transfer the headquarters of the Star Ocean Community to ‘Fortress’ and add a permanent civilized seat to the ‘First Alliance’, which was unanimously approved. 】
On the star map of the entire galaxy, an icon of a giant flower-like building suddenly appeared, and then countless spider web-like lines and nodes connected most of the territory of the Star Sea Community. However, most of them were still in the state of dotted lines, obviously not completed.
, but just planning.
After all, some galaxies have not been explored at all, so it is naturally impossible to repair the mass effect relay.
How should I put it? Catalyst was building a road while moving his house, but Green Light considered it a selfless contribution, and his status became higher and higher...
'As expected of my brother!'
[Are you too biased? The green light is also your creation after all.]
‘I’m not helping anyone, am I? I accelerated and didn’t stop, it’s all their fault.’
【I see.】
'What do you understand again?'
[You have protected the Green Light and the Star Ocean Community very well. Although they are very powerful in combat, they are not smart enough. If you are tricked by others, you should take it as a lesson. And it is better to be tricked by your own people than to be tricked by the doomsday elements in the future, right?
