Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 46 Ecological Annihilation Zone (1 additional update with monthly pass)
Although life here will be a bit primitive, nature also has natural benefits.

Chen Xiaomeng did some research and found that most of the refugees here are very satisfied with their current living conditions.

Although there are people of different races and people of various ideological trends, the stability of the entire planet is still very high.

On the one hand, this is due to the bonus of Gaia planet on happiness, and on the other hand, it is also due to the ubiquitous stone men with very strong characteristics.

When researchers ask refugees about safety, they say there is no crime.

Why, because every piece of land may be a stone man.

These people, or the entire planet's surface, are being monitored by stone men.

Perhaps the surveillance is not very accurate. They are just huge rocks. There is no such thing as surveillance or not.

But if they see something they can't see, they will still come to help because they are kind-hearted.

This has resulted in an entire planet that is virtually crime-free.

This is a very remarkable thing, because so many ethnic groups are mixed, people with different thoughts live together, and they are also refugees, which will inevitably make the stability of the entire planet very low.

But not here.

Because no one knows where on the ground there is a stone man watching all this.

He may not move for thousands of years, but if you do something wrong and make him unhappy, he will immediately come up and punch you to death.

Don't try to resist because the other person is a big rock.

Don't say you don't have weapons now. Even if the regular army comes, you may not be able to defeat them.

Even so, most of the time the stone men and the people here still don't interfere with each other. They just lie on the ground like big rocks.

Enjoy this tranquility and beauty.

Korok led everyone towards the underground city. He also met many people on the way, and many things happened. Chen Xiaomeng and others also recorded them in detail.

"here is?"

Someone among the scientific researchers said that there is a large area of ​​ecological destruction.

The vegetation in other places has recovered to some extent, but only this place seems to have suffered a serious ecological disaster. To this day, this place has still not returned to green.

Passing by here again, Korok could not help but feel sad.

Looking at the large area of ​​ecological annihilation in front of him, he clenched his fists tightly. The clenched fists made a harsh sound of rubbing stones, which made everyone feel uncomfortable in their ears unconsciously.

As if aware of the abnormality, Korok quickly stopped his behavior and apologized: "I'm sorry, guests. I really don't want to talk about the situation here."

Everyone could tell from his voice that he was extremely sad.

Chen Xiaomeng quickly smoothed things over and said: "It's okay, we don't want to get to the bottom of it, we just want to get to know each other casually. If we don't want to recall, let's go and have a look in your underground city."

"Thank you."

Korok calmed down, then continued to lead everyone forward without saying anything else.

It can be imagined that that incident really hit him so hard that he didn't even want to remember it.However, he stopped after taking two steps, turned around and said, "We have tried countless methods to restore the ecology of this area, but nothing works. Can you help us take a look?"

Everyone had no reason to refuse, so they immediately entered the area that had been destroyed by the ecology and conducted a simple sampling.

"The soil is brought back and we will check to see what went wrong."

Chen Xiaomeng said to Ke Luo Ke.

"Ok."

As he spoke, Korok slowly mentioned the matter as if talking to himself.

"We rock-like lifespans are very long-lived and very strong. With our powerful ground combat capabilities, even though the space army was defeated countless times, we still drove away the invaders through ground combat."

"These invaders cannot occupy the surface in any way, and can only use their fleets to carry out non-stop orbital bombing of the entire Gaia star."

"But no matter how they bomb, as long as they set foot on this land again, we will come out of the ground and defeat them."

"Their tanks, aircraft, and artillery are no match for us. In ground combat, we are invincible to them. This has been proven countless times."

"Gradually they left, and they were no longer attached to this planet. Because they knew that although they defeated us in the space war, if the army cannot occupy this planet, then everything is meaningless."

"Batch after batch of invaders came, and batch after batch of invaders left. And slowly we became stronger and stronger, until we were able to block the enemy from the outside of the universe and let them even take a look. Our planet can’t do it.”

"Until one day, a small fleet bypassed our main fleet, sneak-attacked our home system, and experimentally fired a thousand rockets on the planet Gaia."

"The power of these rockets is far less than the orbital bombing that once created a super crater with a diameter of 300km. However, it caused the ecology of this place to completely collapse. To this day, the vegetation here has not recovered, and it has completely become a dead place. "

"The planet Gaia has a very strong ecological recovery ability. Even though it was once transformed into that state by orbital bombardment, it is still full of vitality and everything is in full bloom."

"But the only place that was hit by those thousand rockets is still a dead place to this day."

"We have even thrown all the factories that polluted a little underground, in order to maintain a natural environment on the surface. We like to live in this environment."

"Those mines and alloy smelters are just to build spaceships to prevent the invaders from bombing in uninterrupted orbit with the space fleet as if they couldn't beat us in the ground battle."

"We are not interested in spaceships and the universe. The reason why we go to the universe is just to defend our country from enemies."

Everyone looked at each other, but most of them still felt the kindness of this nation.

However, such a kind race was forced to follow the path of extreme militarism.

This has to be sad.

"Don't worry, we will definitely analyze the soil composition here. Then we will transform and restore it. There will always be a way to turn this dead land back into a forest."

Su Lixuan said seriously.

"Thank you. I think you are different from other people. You are good people."

Facing the innocent Korok, Su Lixuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

It's hard to say whether a good person is a bad person or not. What he said was just a diplomatic statement. There was nothing he could do if the other party took it seriously.
