The infinite universe has infinite possibilities. This is a saying that exists in many interstellar civilizations.
No civilization or individual can know the secrets of the entire universe.
Even ranchers are far from able.
Therefore, there are many various legends in the universe.
There are not many legends about the land of Gus among the public records in the Mulder system.
Because many people have been there before.
According to rumors, "Gus" means "the abode of God" in the language of the Gus people.
So it can also be translated as "temple".
But the translation of the personal terminal is "Xiangong".
Obviously, this shows that in the relevant information, this mysterious civilization is more consistent with the image of "Fairy Palace".
According to rumors, there is an extremely huge curvature engine in the core of their home planet, which maintains the existence of the entire curvature bubble and has never stopped for thousands of years, maybe even tens of thousands of years.
This means that this civilization will always be sailing in a state of curvature.
They never stop sailing.
It will even jump from time to time.
Rumor has it that they have an extremely powerful master of raw energy, who has gathered the raw power of the entire race and shielded everything in the curvature bubble, so no detector can detect them.
But they will actively invite some spaceships that approach them.
Because this is the only way this race can connect with the rest of the interstellar civilizations.
In "Asgard", you can trade technology with them and trade all kinds of powerful technologies. You can choose to stay. As long as you abide by the rules and can bring value to them, you can stay there. You can also
You can leave, but after leaving, you may never be able to find them again.
Because they have no coordinates, no navigation charts, and no anchoring points, they just sail forever to avoid the plunder of more powerful civilizations.
According to rumors, they rely on this method to continue to develop themselves. They at least have the power of the B-class civilization in Mulder's system, or even more powerful.
Therefore, in the entire Mulder system, there are many people who hope that they can find it, reach it, and even live there forever, because there is the entire universe there, especially in the Mulder system, it is extremely rare.
precious existence - safety.
However, Asgard is not a philanthropist.
The other ships are invited to enter in order to accelerate their own development and obtain various resources.
So everything inside is extremely expensive.
If it has no value, it will be abandoned without mercy.
Some people even sell their spaceships and sell everything they can, and they can only live as the lowest wanderers in it. Then after losing everything, they are either expelled and die in the boundless universe.
, or sell yourself together and become a battery after enjoying the last time.
When you first arrive, it may be a paradise for all visitors, but in the end, it will also become a hell for many visitors.
The so-called "fairy palace" is such a place.
But even so.
There are still countless people flocking to this place.
Even Shen Shi, after quickly reading all the rumors related to it, still had a desire to find out.
If nothing else, if the contents of these rumors are true, this is at least a powerful civilization that can be "visited" relatively safely.
Even if you just take a look, it will be of great help in broadening your horizons and understanding!
After all, just the knowledge of mankind three thousand years later has already made Shen Shi's vision and cognition grow tremendously, not to mention such a civilization that is at least a B-level civilization in the Mulder system?
"Have you really found the Land of Gus? I mean, are you already at that place now?" Shen Shi looked at the collector and couldn't help but ask for confirmation.
"Of course." The collector answered in the affirmative, "After confirming its existence, I spent a full one hundred and fifteen years trying to find it. It was so difficult, but, three months ago,
I finally successfully encountered it and received the invitation, and now I am in the entire huge curvature bubble, which is a curvature bubble with a diameter of nearly 0.3 light-years!"
hiss--!
Shen Shi couldn't help but take a breath in his heart.
0.3 light years in diameter?
Is that still a curvature bubble?
You should know that the reason why the curvature bubble is named "bubble" is because it has some basic characteristics of "bubble".
For example, the bigger it is, the easier it is to break!
For example, the curvature bubble battlefield where they fought with those Wo people's reconnaissance forces looked quite large, but in fact, it was only a few tenths of an astronomical unit in diameter, and this was already the diameter of dozens of warships.
The curvature bubble space composed of!
How many astronomical units is a light year?
More than sixty thousand!
Shen Shi felt that his knowledge of curvature bubbles and curvature engines had been refreshed once again.
He simply couldn't imagine how powerful this civilization's curvature technology was!
And this kind of civilized model also made him yearn for it.
There is no need to be trapped in one place, no need to face the despairingly powerful Mulder system, but to be able to freely sail and shuttle through the entire universe, avoiding all irresistible dangers. If human civilization can also achieve
Such a level
This is a future that will make your whole body tremble with excitement just thinking about it!
But unfortunately, Shen Shi also knew very well how difficult this was.
The difficulty is not to transform the mother star, nor to take the mother star on a long voyage.
There are countless immigrant warships in the universe, and they are all races and entire civilizations sailing together.
But how many civilizations are there like Gus?
If you can't shield your existence like them and only invite the people you want to invite, you will be easily caught up by interstellar pirates and even the legions of other civilizations, just like humans chasing the Wo people's reconnaissance troops, and they will start directly.
attack.
There are also original masters, and there are countless powerful races.
There is also such a huge curvature bubble space that a large-scale defensive fortress can be easily deployed.
There are also a variety of technologies and equipment beyond imagination
Just thinking about these, Shen Shi's mood gradually calmed down.
In the final analysis, such a civilization did not choose this way to become strong, but it is precisely because it is strong enough that it can choose this way of survival.
"It is said that the consumption in the land of Gusi is extremely high." Shen Shi probably guessed why the collector returned to the black market again, "With your background, can you settle down there?"
"You are the chief of the Duke, and I don't need to hide it in front of you." The collector said quietly, "Even if I sell everything I have accumulated over the past hundreds of years, I can only survive there.
In just twenty-three years.”
""
Shen Shi was also stunned by this number.
Twenty-three years?
This time is just a short voyage among the stars!
Shen Shi didn't know exactly how much the collector's fortune was, but the current collector was a collector who had gone through several historical changes!
At the very beginning, he could easily take out the Vogt, which is the most top-notch and extremely expensive battleship among D-class civilizations!
It is conceivable that his wealth will never be small. If it were small, he would not be able to become an antique collector - collectors collect treasures not for sale!
But twenty-three years?
Even if Shen Shi has raised his expectations enough, no matter what, this is still too outrageous!
"The biggest problem is that I have no way to obtain residence permission, but can only obtain residence qualification. In this way, once the stay exceeds a certain period, the price to be paid for the stay will increase tremendously," the collector said.
He explained, "This is actually to expel people like me, make quick transactions, and then get out quickly. This is the treatment people like me face."
Shen Shi keenly noticed that the collector said "people like me" twice in one breath.
This made him frown again.
In fact, he has almost understood that such a rule is to allow "people like collectors" to quickly clear their wallets, consume the value, and then get out.
But what kind of person is a collector?
A collector who is close to the top of a C-level civilization could be so humble?
This made Shen Shi feel uncomfortable. After all, the Collector is also a human being, and he is a future human being who has become stronger after he changed the future several times!
If collectors are treated like this, even if he finds this Gusi land, it will only be worse.
"A person like you? What do you mean?" Shen Shi couldn't help but asked in a deep voice, "What other requirements are needed?"
"People like me" the collector took a few steps forward, stared at Shen Shi closely, and finally said the most important words for him today, "means that I have lost my racial culture and historical heritage.
people!"
"" Shen Shi was stunned for a moment.
"I didn't know this until I arrived here." The collector said slowly, "The Gus people believe that a race that has even lost its own culture and inheritance is not qualified to stay in the land of Gus for a long time, so
There is no way for me to obtain permission to stay. After five years at most, I will have to pay an extremely high amount of wealth to continue to stay, but even if I do nothing, twenty-three years will be the limit."
"" Shen Shi already understood.
No wonder the collector found him! He even revealed to him the news that he was in the land of Gus. He even told him about his relationship with Gongchu and his pursuit at the beginning.
After all, for these people in the future world, isn't the greatest value they possess the culture and inheritance that has been lost in the future?
This was the case in the early days of the Gong Dynasty, and it was also the case with collectors.
Shen Shi didn't have any objections to this. He came here just for the purpose of trading.
However, he still couldn't understand the answer.
"But culture and inheritance are only related to the last step of becoming a master of original energy." Shen Shi asked aloud, "Do the Gus people still expect that every stranded outsider can become a master of original energy?
?”
This is what he can't understand.
After all, according to what he knows, even in a civilization with complete inheritance, it is impossible for everyone to become a master of original energy.
The inheritance of history and culture is necessary, but it is not the only thing needed.
Although Shen Shi still doesn't know what it takes to reach such a level of original energy, he knows that original energy masters are not that cheap among the stars.
But after Shen Shi asked this question, the collector's emotions changed once again.
Becoming depressed, even slightly disappointed.
"This may be the discrimination of the Gus people, or maybe there is a reason that we don't know yet. After all, their exploration in the field of original energy is far beyond the level we can understand, but -" The collector's tone also became heavy.
, "History, culture, and inheritance are not just about stepping into the original master level. It is the spiritual power of a race. It is the biggest difference between our birth in the universe and artificial life, and it is also the biggest difference for every human being.
It is the most important link for a race to unite, develop, and become stronger, so I understand what the Gus people did, because individuals like us who have no history and inheritance, after being far away from their own race, are just individuals.
What kind of value can the walking dead driven by desire create?"
Shen Shi could hear from the collector's words his strong emphasis on the inheritance of history and culture.
Yes, he had no complaints against the Gus.
Instead, he just resents himself for losing everything, resents the Daikes who took it all away, and even resents the human civilization for not being able to protect all that brilliance.
That's why he chose to leave when mankind was in crisis. In his heart, those treasures from the past were probably better than anything else.
In Shen Shi's view, this was obviously a bit extreme.
If human civilization eventually perishes, even all historical records, culture and inheritance can only serve as human tombstones.
However, Shen Shi did not try to say anything.
Again.
The Collector's original abilities are stronger than his own. He doesn't need to change anything because he knows what he wants.
Therefore, facing the disappointment shown by the collector, Shen Shi just said lightly: "I really can't understand your emotions, because I have never lost our human culture and inheritance. Human beings in the Earth Star Era
History has always been etched in my mind, so I can't understand your feeling of losing it all."
After saying these words, the Collector suddenly looked at Shen Shi, and a powerful light burst out from inside his jade-like body.
This shows his excitement at the moment.
"Sure enough, Mr. Shen, you are a descendant of a great hero! The Yuan family you belong to is the Shen family that disappeared more than 2,600 years ago! I know how the greatest hero of mankind could allow the Daike civilization to destroy us.
