Chapter Twenty-Five: God

"What is that?" Elsa asked, "a hidden flame gun?"

"The fifth overhead element." Xia Lian whispered softly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then someone asked, "What is that?"

"A kind of special power should be closer to the legendary magic." Xia Lian said, "This is what the resistance army was studying at the beginning, and it is also the significance of this civilized experiment."

Human beings have been exploring the Milky Way for so many years and have seen many strange civilizations and things. They are well aware of the diversity and mystery of the universe, so they accept this power very quickly.

But if they knew the nature of this power, they might not be so calm.

"This power shouldn't be available to everyone, right?" Mercury asked.

Xia Lian nodded, "Probably."

"Then it seems that this should also be some kind of screening mechanism."

Mercury looked at the screen and said, "Those abandoned young people should be those who have no talent to use this power, or are weak in power, while those who control this power remain in the Paradise.

Under this screening mechanism, a huge disparity in power is created, making it impossible to resist."

Xia Lian stared at the screen and fell into thinking. After a moment, he asked.

"Mercury, can the equipment in this base's workshop be used to repair the Kuixing Ship?"

"It's still difficult." Mercury said.

"The Kuixing Ship cannot move, which means that it can only carry equipment from this base to the crash site for repairs, but those robotic arms are obviously immobile. We need professional movable repair drones or engineering mechas.

I've seen information about hangars, but they don't exist at this base.

There are some minecarts and mining-type mechas."

Xia Lian frowned, "Isn't the Kuixing Ship equipped with these things?"

"Originally, there were drones responsible for body repair and maintenance." Elsa said, "But when the Helios field was shattered, they were all launched to resist the enemy's light cannons."

After a pause, Aisha added, "If we don't let him go, we might not even be able to get here."

"I remember that the phase stealth technology of the Starship Kuaishou is a space technology. It is similar to the Helios field to release a special field through a certain mechanism, rather than a modification on the armor, right?" Xia Lian asked

road.

Wang Zhen nodded and said, "That's right."

Xia Lian nodded.

"Since it can't be repaired, then don't repair it. Dismantle it. Remove all usable core components and install them on Fenrir. Since it is an unfinished starship, then we will complete it."

"Your Highness!" Wang Zhen shouted anxiously.

"I know you have feelings for the Starship Ku, but you should be aware of the current situation. In this sector, the fleet of the Bahram family should still be searching for us.

And if they find this galaxy, we won't even have the ability to escape.

We need something now that can keep us all safe.

You are a smart person, you should know what to do." Xia Lian said calmly.

There was some struggle on Wang Zhen's face. He glanced at the other people. Although their faces were a little heavy, they were speechless.

Then, he sighed.

"Yes, I understand."

Xia Lian looked at Mercury and asked.

"Is it possible?"

Mercury nodded and said, "There are many ore trucks in this base. If we divide it into batches, we should be able to transport the core components of the Kuixing Ship back. There are ready-made assembly workshops and casting workshops here, which may be more expensive than repairing the Kuixing Ship."

Simple.

The problem is that the antimatter reactor of the Kuixing Ship has been extinguished and dormant due to a major purge and multiple jump escapes.

It may not be enough to just rely on Alwak's Sail to supply energy."

"Then install a Helios field first and think of a solution later."

Xia Lian said.

"Wang Zhen, you send one person back to the Kuixing Ship to inform the rest, and then you lead the people to continue searching this base. The ancestors of this group of people, as well as the power they possess, should have left from this base.

So, there must be information about this element here."

"yes."

Wang Zhen lowered his head and responded. Then, he glanced at the other three members of the team, and the four of them walked out of the main control room together.

"Aisha, please help me keep an eye on these people who have been kicked out of the Paradise. You must tell me everything." Xia Lian said.

"Yes." Aisha responded, and then she said with some confusion, "Your Highness, that frozen soil is not suitable for life at all. Isn't their fate already doomed?"

Xia Lian pointed to the Great Wall on the screen, "If they really went to die, then there would be no need to build this Great Wall.

This is a defensive city wall, who do you think they are guarding against?"

Elsa seemed to realize this, "Is it possible that there is really other life in that frozen soil?"

"Whether there is any other life, you should know by observing the movements of this group of people."

Xia Lian whispered softly.

"The innate conditions of this planet are not suitable for a civilization to survive for a long time. If Joan of Arc Culler can be called the savior of mankind, she should think about solving this problem.

Instead of allowing the civilization she created to struggle on this planet after her death, and even resort to dehumanizing methods to achieve continuation."

"Maybe...it's too late to solve it?" Aisha said.

Xia Lian seemed to have thought of something and looked at Mercury: "Mercury, can Alwak's Sail refract sunlight? Or, to put it more bluntly, can it become the sun of this planet?"

Mercury was silent for a moment, "The principle of Alvaco's sail is to collect photons and convert them into high-energy photons for release. It will release photons and thermal radiation, so it should be theoretically feasible.

But the final result still depends on the actual power, coverage, etc. It is still unknown whether it can replace the real sun.

Moreover, we also need to consider the climate change after the planet receives sunlight. Specifically, I need to spend time calculating it."

"We have no shortage of time now."

Xia Lian quietly stared at the frozen soil on the screen and said.

If you want to control this civilization, you need to bring them hope for the continuation of civilization.

Of course, the appearance of sunlight cannot immediately erase the coldness of this planet.

This permafrost took much longer to form than this civilization. The cold winters of hundreds of millions of years cannot be warmed up by refracting the sun for a few days.

But fortunately, compared to how to freeze the planet, warming the planet is mankind's old skill.

As early as 1945, humans had already mastered how to heat cities. For example, the Hiroshima Summer Festival held at 6,000 degrees above zero that year warmed people's hearts.

The more carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and hydrofluorocarbons the better, and a little methane can be released. Just build the boiler and that's it. It won't take long for the temperature to rise.

Of course, these can only bring about the "heat preservation" effect, and this temperature ultimately needs to be provided by sunlight.

But by then, rising sea levels caused by melting ice and floods and tsunamis caused by global climate change are all things that need to be considered.

He only has an unfinished spaceship and a half-broken starship in his hands now. Otherwise, retelling the story of Noah's Ark would be a good choice.

However, the future is unknown. Maybe by then, he will have returned to the principality and officially taken over the throne.

Although there have been fewer immigrants to the Principality of Helios in recent years, there are still several Noah-class arks with a carrying capacity of hundreds of millions.

"What are your plans?" Quicksilver asked.

"Do you still remember how the little nobles in the empire controlled this primitive civilization before the industrial revolution or when it first entered the industrial revolution?" Xia Lian asked rhetorically.

"They have taken over the divine power," Quicksilver said.

"Yes." Xia Lian murmured in a low voice, "In the past ten thousand years since mankind entered the interstellar era, almost every alien civilization observed has worshiped gods.

In the initial stage of civilization, natural phenomena could not be explained, and rationality could only be explained through subjective imagination. Over time, it became a myth.

Human beings today basically possess the power that can only be possessed by the gods in mythology.

It is easy to become a god of lower civilizations.

Compared with royal power, divine power is naturally more awe-inspiring.”

Xia Lian smiled and joked: "The reason why human beings developed civilization in the first place was to defeat the power of gods, but when we stand at the height of gods, we become gods again."

"Do you think this is ironic?" Quicksilver asked.

"Irony? I'm not that hypocritical." Xia Liandao, "It's a cliché that the dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon.

But the dragon slayer who turned into a dragon doesn't think it's ironic. Only the people who were robbed by the dragon would find it ironic."

"But there will eventually be a new dragon slayer." Mercury said, "When the evil dragon dies under the sword of the dragon slayer again, it will feel the irony."

"Maybe, but I am not a dragon or a dragon slayer."

Xia Lian murmured in a low voice, looking down at the eternal night frozen soil.

"I am God."
