Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 45
The entire land was trembling, one after another the stone people slowly retreated from the perfect fusion with nature.

Big trees fell down on them one after another, and they dug holes and stuffed them back.

The small animals that had settled on them also jumped away, but they did not leave too far. They stood aside and looked at the group of big rocks. It was obvious that both parties were already very familiar with each other.

"This is really an incredible sight. Do you usually lie down on the ground and load rocks like this?"

Chen Xiaomeng asked while recording the situation, but as soon as she asked it, she felt there was something wrong with this sentence.

They are pretending to be stones, they are stones.

Korok sat down slowly. Although his movements were as gentle as possible, everyone could still feel the ground trembling under their feet, almost losing their balance.

A little squirrel and two birds surrounded him enthusiastically, jumping around on him, flying around, and landing on his head and shoulders, as if they saw an old friend they hadn't seen for a long time coming back. Same.

"Yes, they are all our good friends. When we have nothing to do, we like to lie on the ground and let these little animals jump around on us and the plants grow around us. This is the happiest and happiest thing for us. Happy times.”

As he spoke, Korok's voice gradually became ethereal and happy.

"These two little birds are Qinqin and Huahua. I named this little squirrel Xiaomao. He is my best friend."

As he spoke, Korok touched them with his hand. The bird was afraid of being touched by the big stone and flew up quickly before landing on his thick finger made entirely of rock.

Another little bird named Huahua also landed, and Qinqin and Qinqin preened their feathers.

The little squirrel Xiaomao ran around the body of the big stone and then came to Korok's head and stopped on Korok's head.

Korok looked at the group of little animals surrounding him with a very happy face. It seemed that his biggest dream in life was to be able to watch these little animals surrounding him all the time.

"They're really xenophobic, or they like small animals."

Chen Xiaomeng couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth as she looked at the picture of the stone man and various small animals living in harmony in front of him.

What a kind race.

How could such a kind and simple intelligent creature eventually transform into a civilization with extreme militaristic thoughts?

It's hard to imagine what painful past they went through.

"Hmph, I also have a big pet, it's in the sky."

Wang Xueer suddenly stood up very proudly and pointed at the bubbles swimming in space.

Bubble's body is too big, and it doesn't dare to land on the planet. The planet's environment is fatal to it.

But he didn't want to leave, he just wandered back and forth over the planet happily.

Now the intelligent races on Gaia can see that cute giant creature just by looking up.

Sure enough, as Korok said, everyone here got excited when they saw the bubbles.

"It's amazing, you can actually raise such a big space creature."

"What a cute little head."

"It's great, but it's a pity that he can't come down and play with us, or jump on us."

"Hahaha, this is indeed the most pity."

Countless stone men looked up into outer space, and then looked at the tiny Wang Xueer with envious expressions.Korok was also very proud. He knew that everyone would like that space creature, because he liked it quite a lot.

And Wang Xueer was even more proud. Although that bubble actually seemed to have recognized the Mozi research ship as its mother and seemed to have nothing to do with her, it didn't matter.

If she thinks it's relevant, then it's relevant.

With the appearance of bubbles in space, earthquakes suddenly occurred on the surface of the originally peaceful Gaia planet.

One after another, the stone people lying on the ground, who had been completely integrated with the ground for who knows how many years, poked their heads out and looked up at the sky.

Qin Xu stood here and looked out. The entire land was like waves rising from the sea, which was quite shocking.

Chen Xiaomeng and others also continued to use photography equipment to record this magical and shocking scene, and sighed from time to time.

Later, everyone started investigating on the surface of the planet Gaia, and found that there were not only ordinary small animals and stone men here, but also other alien races living here.

But they seem to be mostly fleeing here.

This planet does not require any modification and is 100% habitable for any intelligent life form. It is perfect for refugees.

They didn't bring any tools to transform the planet. Finding a planet that was more comfortable than their home planet was like a dream.

As for these escaped aliens, the Stone Man is also very welcoming.

Anyway, they usually just lie on the ground to hold rocks. They are very happy whether intelligent creatures or small animals live on their bodies.

Rather, this is their dream life.

Intelligent creatures and small animals live and work peacefully in their own bodies, and their wishes are just that simple.

Chen Xiaomeng and others registered the information of these aliens.Knowing the general information about the country behind them, they didn't embarrass the other party too much.

They are all refugees, and some of them cannot stand the rejection of domestic ideological trends, such as the emergence of an extremely pro-foreigner in a country full of extremely xenophobic ideological trends.

And if this extreme xenophobia cannot be transformed into other ideological trends, they will be expelled from their own country and become refugees.

If opposing trends such as materialism and idealism, authoritarianism and egalitarianism cannot be transformed, they may become refugees and be driven out.

In some wars, for example, when a colony is occupied, the people above are forced to escape in spaceships. Looking back, they see that their country has been destroyed.

They have nowhere to go and can only jump aimlessly around the galaxy, looking for a place willing to take them.

Some countries will accept refugees and some will not.

It all depends on fate.

And those countries that accept refugees, if the living climate is too different from theirs, intelligent creatures adapted to tropical planets are sometimes forced to live on polar planets or desert planets.

The habitability of these two kinds of planets for them is extremely low, but sometimes it is good to have a place willing to take them if there is no way.

A super-Gaia planet like the Rock Republic, which is both xenophilic and 100% habitable for all intelligent races, is simply a dream place for all refugees.

So these refugees are both unfortunate and lucky.
