Chapter 128 Contradiction and Development

Emperor Xiu 6435.

After two years of fierce fighting, the war between the Human Empire and the Skeletor Tribe has reached victory.

Facing the outcome of failure, the remaining members of the Bone Moth tribe broke out and fled, unwilling to be wiped out.

A similar situation has occurred in the human empire.

Back then, the Human Empire defeated the Galaxy Clan and briefly settled in the Legendary Sea, but was eventually defeated by the Chilong Clan, the later challenger.

Facing a certain defeat, the human empire gave up its resources in the legendary sea area and chose to retain its last strength to break out.

This time, in the face of the Skeletal Moth Tribe's desperate attempt to break through, the Human Empire took the initiative to release the blockade, giving the Skeletal Moth Tribe a channel to escape.

This is not a kindness.

Years of war with the Skeleton Moth tribe have consumed a huge amount of resources in the human empire. After learning from the failure of the last time they entered the legendary sea, the empire’s top leaders understand that defense is far more difficult than offense.

Therefore, the human empire is very cautious about external temptations, and will carry out devastating attacks as soon as it is discovered.

Over the years, in the face of constant penetration and testing by external forces, the human empire has accelerated the construction of defense facilities in the legendary sea area.

Faced with the Lord of War's request, the Bone Moth Queen may be angry, but she has no choice.

Although the cruel war cost the human empire a lot, 24 army commanders died in this battle, and the number of soldiers killed reached 313 billion.

At that time, humans also entered the territory of the Bone Moth tribe in the Legendary Sea to conduct investigations. The purpose was very clear. It was to find out the details and defense deployment of the Bone Moth tribe, and then look for opportunities to launch a war.

This is 160 years after the Human Empire entered the legendary sea and the Battle of the Bone Moth ended.

However, the advice of most army commanders is not to relocate the R&D base and continue to use transportation to transport resources.

Perhaps one day in the future, the Skeleton Moth tribe will appear in the legendary sea with a new appearance, but it may also be annihilated in the outer sea world where thousands of races are crowded.

But the most important reason is still related to the fact that Imperial City is the root of human civilization.

After several months of statistics after the war, mankind has obtained a "divine crystal resource well" and 8472 divine well resource islands connected to this divine crystal resource well.

There will eventually come a day when the legionnaires of the Human Empire will return to defend the Imperial City and withdraw from the legendary sea.

6597 years.

With the divine well in the legendary sea, the human empire has gained new opportunities for development. In the future, the divine well will be used as the core of resource production to upgrade civilization and technology.

After other racial forces settle in the Legendary Sea, they will regard the Legendary Sea as the core clan area for development in the future. During this period, the entire ethnic group will gradually relocate to the Legendary Sea.

This meeting was chaired by High Priest Zuo Yi, and all high-level human beings at the level of legion commanders participated in the meeting. The topic discussed was related to the future layout of mankind in the outer sea and legendary sea areas.

High-level human meeting.

The reason for not moving is simple.

The top human beings clearly understand that the legendary sea is just a place where humans can absorb nutrients for growth, and that the final destination of humans is in Imperial City.

Secondly, the foundation of the human empire in the legendary sea is not stable and may be challenged by external forces at any time. At this time, the relocation of civilization technology research and development technology is likely to become the target of the challenging forces.

Dark God Space.

In response to the probing behavior of external forces, the human empire has adopted a "kill without mercy" response.

In addition to being used for research and development, the resources of the legendary sea area should also be used to build defense facilities in Imperial City.

Just today, High Priest Zuo Yi presided over the meeting and had a detailed discussion with the commanders of each army on the development of the human empire.

There is an endless ocean between the Legendary Sea and Imperial City. There will be many problems in using resource transportation to transport the resources mined from the Legendary Sea to Imperial City.

The primary issue facing the human empire is:

The Lord of War requires the Skeletor Clan to give up all resources in the Legendary Sea and never allow any resources to leave.

Secondly, sending god-level resources to the Legendary Sea will inevitably arouse the covetousness of other forces outside the sea, and plundering incidents are likely to occur, which requires extensive efforts to deal with.

Rather than wasting resources and combat power on besieging the defeated Skeleton Moths, it would be better to use resources on a strategic layout that has practical significance for defense.

Resource transportation costs, resource transportation risks, and even cumbersome transportation processes are all obvious issues.

This meeting discussed the relocation of the R&D base.

But taking the initiative to provide a way out is not without requirements.

But the Human Empire is different.

Now that we are about to enter the legendary sea, new challenges are coming.

For more than 6000 years, the most core civilization technology research and development bases of mankind have been built in Imperial City and even in the sea area near Imperial City.

[Will the Human Empire’s R&D base be relocated? 】

Compared with other forces stationed in the legendary sea, there is an obvious difference between the Human Empire and other forces stationed in the legendary sea.

But victory also brings rich fruits.

The construction of a civilized technology research and development base cannot be completed in a short time. Many equipment in the research and development base cannot be moved at will, which may cause damage to the research and development equipment.

……

When the Bone Moth Mother Queen led her people to leave, this tragic war that had lasted for decades came to an end.

The first is the construction of the space transmission square. It is calculated that the transportation of a batch of resources requires 138 space jumps before being sent to the Imperial City.

With a clear direction, the topic of the meeting changed from whether to relocate to the update of the offshore pattern.

The entire conference lasted a week.

The final result is that humans will start a great migration plan and completely change the layout and structure of the outer sea.

Humanity needs to give up a lot of resource islands.

The previous expedition plan started from the main city of Imperial Cultivator and expanded outward in a fan shape, continuously incorporating the resource territories of the outer seas into the territory of the human empire.

At this stage, what the human empire cares most about is the number of resource islands.

Naturally, the more resource islands, the better, and the more fronts that can be opened, the better.

But after the Battle of the Skeleton Moth, the situation in the Human Empire has changed. The resources produced in the Legendary Sea are not comparable to ordinary resource islands in the outer sea, or even core resource islands.

From this perspective, many resource islands have lost their meaning of existence, or have limited value to the human empire.

The garrison combat power needs to be transferred to the legendary sea area as much as possible.

At this meeting, the commander of the 102nd Army, "The Lord of White Charm," proposed a future concept for population migration.

In the concept, the human empire could abandon a large number of offshore resource areas, gather the garrisoned defense forces, and even ordinary people who produce resources to a central point, and create an impregnable resource transportation line. The simple explanation is to turn the fan-shaped expansion of the sea territory into a route directly from Imperial City to the legendary sea area.

From now on, this line will also become the transportation line for the human empire to obtain resources from the legendary sea. All space transmission nodes will be built and defended on this line.

This can not only reduce the defensive pressure, but also allow the scattered imperial people to unite into a rope and thrive on this route.

Once this plan was proposed, it attracted the approval of many army commanders.

The territory of the human empire is so huge that it can even be described as bloated.

There used to be no choice for development, but now with the output of legendary sea resource lands, the value of those ordinary resource lands is no longer important.

This is the inevitable result of development.

Just like human beings in famine times, in order to satisfy their hunger, all edible resources are good, even tree bark and grass roots will not be spared.

As time goes by, the number of resource islands is increasing.

Many low-level spiritual resources are as common as weeds. Especially as we gradually advance towards the legendary sea area, the quality of spiritual resources produced by resource islands is getting higher and higher. What was once regarded as controlled spiritual plants has long been commonplace.

Choosing to abandon such resource islands will not cause substantial losses to the human empire.

Turning the fan-shaped territory into a direct route to the legendary sea is a good choice from both a defense and development perspective.

But while deciding to shrink the territory, the meeting also revised the idea proposed by the Lord of White Charm.

In addition to this direct route, humans will not give up on the core resource islands where the space transmission square has been built and will still be firmly in their own hands.

In addition to the direct route to the legendary sea, the human territory in the final concept also has core resource islands surrounding the route like stars.

The reason for not giving up is simple.

High Priest Zuo Yi said this at the end of the meeting:

"It is completely unknown how far we can go in the legendary sea. Perhaps one day, our human empire will once again usher in the era of great collapse that has occurred in history. At that moment, these core resource islands will be the starting point for us to restart our expedition plan. hope.”

It was these words that finalized the bottom line of the population migration plan.

Without giving up the core resource islands, as long as the outer sea forces do not invade the core resource islands where the human empire has planted its flag, other outer sea resource areas can be taken freely.

……

After this meeting, the population relocation plan continued for 150 years.

If the territory of the former human empire is regarded as a starry sky, then the stars dotted on the starry sky map are millions of human cities.

Large enough to be inhabited by millions of people, and small enough to be inhabited by tens of thousands of people, human resource cities have sprung up like mushrooms after rain as the expedition plan advances to the outer sea.

However, this population relocation plan eliminated many small cities and combined them to form large cities on the sea.

The minimum population of every big city is over 10 million.

This also brings about a series of problems.

Many residents have different cultural customs and ideas. The sudden integration has brought about a series of conflicts and conflicts, and even a lot of bloodshed.

There is currently no solution to this problem, and it will take time to resolve.

Conceptual contradictions are affected by the growth environment and are difficult to repair through various means in a short period of time.

It's like the newly built human city "Bloodlight City".

This is a city named after the Blood Light Legion, with a total population of 3800 million, integrating residents of 228 resource islands.

The entire city is divided into 28 districts, named after districts 1-28.

There have been many conflicts between people in this city recently.

For example, the relocated human residents of Blackwater Island have lived on the snowy mountains all year round. After generations of inheritance and replacement, they have developed unique cultural customs. The buildings they built in the planned areas of the new city are all made of ice sculptures and specially made Ice will not melt at normal temperatures, but the human residents from the weather islands live deep in the tropical rainforest, advocating force and fire. They built stretching pillars of flame near the residents of the neighboring Blackwater Island, releasing rolling heat waves and causing a large number of Ice sculptures melt.

Contradictions in customs have caused many conflicts.

But in the view of high priest Zuo Yi, these problems are inevitable pains that humans must experience in the process of integration.

The only thing that doesn't need to worry is that people under different circumstances have always had a firm belief in Emperor Xiu God.

As long as the root cause is correct, the cultural differences in details will eventually be healed by time in the process of urban integration.

Especially when the annual "Prayer Festival" begins, no matter how many conflicts there are, they will turn into a scene of unity praying to the Emperor Xiu God together.

The belief in the Emperor Xiu God is the key to the unity of the people of the human empire.

People's identification with the same race is far less than their identification with a common belief.

The expedition plan has developed to this day. If it were not supported by the same belief, the human empire would have become a piece of sand.

This is why the loyalty of faith cannot be tarnished.

Today, the population migration plan in the new era has further united faith, and the streamlined human empire has significantly improved both its operational efficiency and degree of unity.

But the crisis of the new era is also coming quietly.

The future development of the human empire needs to face challenges on two levels.

First of all, after settling in the Legendary Sea, the human race has become a challenging target in the eyes of many powerful external forces. At any time, there may be forces launching an attack from the outside, trying to rob humanity of its interests in the Legendary Sea.

Small frictions happen all the time over the years.

Every year, a large number of forces enter the legendary sea area controlled by the Human Empire and carry out exploration and investigation, hoping to find out the true strength of the Human Empire.

Fortunately, the Human Empire has not encountered a real challenger in these hundreds of years, and local frictions will not affect the development process of the Human Empire.

But crises always exist, and the human empire still needs to be ready to enter a full-scale war at any time.

Secondly, there is such a rule in the Legendary Sea, which is formulated by all forces in the Inland Sea. Every force that has settled in the Legendary Sea and successfully occupied resource areas for thousands of years can be qualified to challenge the forces in the Legendary Inland Sea.

The Human Empire did not want to miss this opportunity.

Compared with the chaotic and complicated situation on the outer sea, entering the inland sea is truly otherworldly.

As long as it succeeds, the human race will gain long-term peace, because the resources produced by the inland sea will not be plundered by other forces in the legendary inland sea.

Although it has to face challenges from overseas forces, the frequency of challenges is very low, and there will be sufficient preparation space before the war.

This is the final destination of the human empire's expedition plan.

As long as they successfully enter the legendary inner sea, the human empire will have only one goal left in the future, and that is to fight against the Kuroshio natural disaster.
