Chapter 81: Cannot see the future civilization
Chapter 81: Cannot see the future civilization
Du Ge and Gao Ming left the dormitory and walked towards the teacher's office.
After leaving the house.
Du Ge looked up at the sky and saw nothing but blue sky and white clouds.
But after reading the history of the Qi Yuan Star civilization, Du Ge knew that there was a spaceship from an alien civilization in the space outside the atmosphere.
To be precise.
It was a spaceship from an unknown higher civilization entertainment company.
...
This is a planet called Qi Yuan Star.
Two hundred years ago.
Qi Yuan Star was developing its own civilization step by step, and countries were clashing with each other for their own interests.Dynasties changed, and the world changed.
After thousands of years of evolution, technology gradually developed to a level comparable to that of the mid to late 20th century on Earth. If there were no accidents, this civilization would continue to develop step by step, exploring the stars and the universe.
But unfortunately, a turning point appeared.
An entertainment company called Pan-Universe Entertainment invaded and completely changed the future of this planet, ending the development of the Qi Yuan Star civilization.
That's right.
A planet was invaded by an entertainment company, which sounds ridiculous, but it is the truth.
When civilization opens up dimensions, even an entertainment company can easily change the fate of an intelligent race.
Facing the invasion of Pan-Universe Entertainment, the Qi Yuan Star civilization had no resistance at all, just like a child urinating on an ant nest. Even if the ants were numerous, they were powerless to stop the disaster from happening.
Pan-Universe Entertainment is much scarier than a child.
The scientists on Qi Yuan Star didn't even know the principle of the weapons used by the other party?
...
In just three months.
Weather changes, plant and animal mutations, the foundational theories on which human technology relied on collapsed overnight...
Various unimaginable disasters came one after another, demonstrating the power of Pan-Universe Entertainment to the people of Qi Yuan Star. Human resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Pan-Universe Entertainment only used a spaceship, easily cutting off the lifeline of the development of the Qi Yuan Star civilization, dragging the entire civilization into the abyss.
Civilization stagnated.
The technology of the Qi Yuan Star civilization had not developed to the point of exploring the universe beyond the planet. Without experiencing it, there would be no desire, and there would be no sense of being restricted.
The biggest dilemma faced by the people was the toxins produced by the mutations of plants and animals, which led to the extinction of human food.
The crisis came suddenly. At that time, the world's reserves of food could not last for a year.
Food is the paramount necessity of the people.
Losing food, the tragedy of racial extinction unfolded in an instant.
Of course, the lofty Pan-Universe Entertainment also provided a solution.
Qi Yuan Star only needed to send people to participate in the annual Alien Star Battlefield game organized by Pan-Universe Entertainment, compete with other worlds in the game, and achieve a good ranking to obtain resource rewards.
The resource rewards include non-toxic grains, meat, and so on.
...
Agreeing to this condition meant that the entire world became a plaything of the higher civilization, becoming slaves to please others in the arena.
Not agreeing meant the extinction of the entire civilization in hunger.
There seemed to be no choice.
Faced with the insulting oppression of a higher civilization, the Qi Yuan Star couldn't even resist.
The most powerful weapon on the planet couldn't even destroy the protective shield of the spaceship of Pan-Universe Entertainment outside the atmosphere.
Even if they really won, it would be useless. It wouldn't solve the problem of food. With the food on the planet exhausted, they would still face the extinction of civilization.
The gap between civilizations is too great. The miraculous event of an old and dilapidated warship on Earth defeating an alien invasion in a movie would never happen.
In the end, Qi Yuan Star chose to surrender.
Surrendered for two hundred years.
In order to better control Qi Yuan Star, the resources provided by the Pan-Universe civilization could only be planted for one season. After one season, the food grown from the second-generation seeds would be toxic...
Controlling food meant controlling the throat of the Qi Yuan Star civilization.
...
If the simulation field only virtualized a world, then the Alien Star Battlefield is a real world. To be precise, it is not a game, but an invasion.
The game field is another real world.
Facing the invasion, the people in the game world would do their best to fight against the warriors participating in the Alien Star Battlefield game for survival.
In this real and cruel game, only about twenty to thirty percent of the warriors who entered the Alien Star Battlefield could survive.
In the two hundred years, the Qi Yuan Star civilization had both wins and losses in the games they participated in.
More losses than wins.
Overall, the resources gained were far from enough to support the consumption of the vast population of Qi Yuan Star.
In order to survive, the governments of various countries on Qi Yuan Star had to abandon their prejudices and form a new alliance, allocating limited resources in an organized manner to ensure the continuation of civilization.
Limited resources meant that most of the lower-class people could not have enough to eat.
Hunger would inevitably lead to war.
In the two hundred years, Qi Yuan Star had experienced dozens of rebellions.
During its peak, the population exceeded ten billion, but now it has decreased to just over one billion.
Yes.
It was Du Ge's estimate based on ten million candidates, but these one billion people were not the population of a single country, but the population of the entire planet.
...
No matter how dire the situation is.
In order to continue the existence of the race, the game of the Alien Star Battlefield had to continue...
During this period.
Scientists on Qi Yuan Star attempted to solve the food problem through artificial synthesis.
But the technological blockade from the higher civilization, the agents arranged by Pan-Universe Entertainment among the humans, ultimately led to their failure.
The power of habit is terrifying. When the people of Qi Yuan Star realized that their resistance was ineffective and resources gradually reached a balance, the population eventually chose to lie down and adapt to the way of survival by obtaining resources through the game.
Now.
The whole world is concentrating its efforts on training warriors to participate in the Alien Star Battlefield.The warriors, crucial to the survival of civilization, had become the apex of the pyramid.
Everyone served the warriors.
The warriors enjoyed all the benefits, while other professions were reduced to inferior status, forming a distorted social pattern.
What the warriors needed to master most for the Alien Star Battlefield was not combat skills, not magic, not leadership...
But the Keywords that Du Ge had used in the Simulation Field.
...
In such a world without a future, the warriors participating in the Alien Star Battlefield were the hope for the continuation of civilization.
Therefore, Du Ge was sure that even if the secret of his two Keywords was discovered, there wouldn't be any major problems. He might even be treated as a trump card, given special training, and fight for the entire race.
But Du Ge was somewhat conflicted at this moment.
Because the Alien Star Battlefield was different from the Simulation Field. In the Simulation Field, the worst-case scenario was elimination, but in the Alien Star Battlefield, people could really die.
Death could come from a failed Body Possession, or being killed by others. The only chance of survival was to win the Alien Star Battlefield, or to hold on till the end.
However.
No one would hold on till the end, because that would mean a year-long resource cut-off for the planet, which would really cause deaths.
If one managed to survive and return, the military court of Qi Yuan Star would still sentence them to death.
The fate of the warriors, who were the privileged class, was already so cruel, let alone the fate of the civilians...
...
Time was limited.
Du Ge had learned so much, but it was enough to make him feel troubled.
This damn world was not beautiful at all!
Why did he have to cross into such a world?
If he could choose, he would rather cross into that Pan-Universe Entertainment Company above his head, be on a spaceship, and be a supreme ruler...
...
Lost in his thoughts, Du Ge and Gao Ming arrived at the teacher's office.
At the office door, two or three people were standing guard.
The moment Du Ge and Gao Ming appeared, a middle-aged man with glasses immediately came up, grabbed Du Ge's arm, and said with a smile, "Du Ge, you're finally here. Come, come, follow me quickly. The principal has been waiting for you for a long time."
