Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 204 The Mystery of Evolution
"I appreciate your direct character. At least it makes me feel that you are different from most human beings. But, you should also know that trust is mutual."

"This is Green Star, the home of the unique family. I brought the team here, isn't it sincere enough?"

"That depends on why you are here."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but smile wryly. "Obviously, if we could know the reason why the Silicon Charm Alliance attacked Green Star earlier, it would definitely not be the dozens of us who came."

"Why are you here?"

Yang Yi was a little speechless, and at the same time realized that Elder Curtis was an eloquent character.

"Of course, continuing to entangle this issue will not help to enhance our mutual trust, but will also cause unnecessary trouble." Curtis forced a smile and said, "There is a question that I want to know the answer to. I also hope that you can answer sincerely."

Yang Yi nodded slightly and asked Curtis to bring it up.

"If there is a treasure in front of you, there are countless treasures in it, which can bring you great wealth, but at the same time make you get killed, how would you deal with it?"

"Like a lot of original crystals?"

Curtis didn't explain, and there was no need to explain.

"I'll make the best of it."

"Make the most of everything?"

Yang Yi nodded and said: "The key is not the treasure itself, but the influence of the treasure. If it is just a priceless treasure, I will not take it seriously. If it can make me stronger, let me win I will use all my strengths."

"Occupy?"

"Of course, the premise is that these treasures have no owners."

"What if?"

Yang Yi sighed secretly, and said: "Obviously, this is not a treasure, but someone else's treasury. Naturally, there is no reason to get involved. Of course, if the owner is unable to protect these treasures and needs my help, I will issue a A price that can be accepted by both parties. Not taking what others have, doesn’t mean not asking for compensation for your own labor, let alone taking the risk of losing your life.”

Curtis nodded thoughtfully, and thought again.

Yang Yi didn't say any more, he had already stated his position.As for what Curtis was thinking, Yang Yi was not interested in knowing, nor could he guess.It's very simple, Curtis is a unique person, and the thinking of human beings and unique people is very different. What seems to be a matter of course for human beings may not be so in the eyes of unique people.Of course, Yang Yi believed that Curtis had no choice, otherwise he would not have told him these things.

After a while, Curtis let out a long sigh.

"I must admit that I don't know you humans very well, so I don't quite understand why you have such ideas, but this does not hinder our cooperation."

"Cooperation?"

"As you said, you work and I pay."

"This is called hiring, not cooperation."

"You can say that, but it's not important." Curtis stood up. "Now, come with me."

Before Yang Yi could react, the bright light disappeared, and the surroundings became pitch black.Immediately afterwards, a soft light shot from all directions.When Yang Yi came back to his senses, he realized that he had returned to reality, and it was in a huge basement.

Of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an underground space.

There is a person standing in front of him, with his back to Yang Yi, but he has the typical body shape of a unique person. He looks very old, probably thousands of years old.

In fact, among the many civilizations in the Galactic Federation, the unique people are known for their longevity.

As far as Yang Yi knows, Curtis is the third great elder of the unique family. Although no one knows how old he is, he became an elder long before the outbreak of the Fourth Greenwich War. Became the Great Elder during the Greenwich War, almost two thousand years old.

Hearing the sound coming from behind, Yang Yi turned around and saw that it was Mendozo.

"Major Yang, welcome to the holy land of the unique clan."

The old man who greeted Yang Yi was Curtis.

At this time, Yang Yi has discovered that this underground space is moving slowly.Perhaps, this place is built on some kind of moving platform.

Of course, this also proves what Jackson said before, that is, the holy place of the unique family is not a fixed location.

"Major Yang, is this your first visit to Green Star?"

Yang Yi nodded, and noticed at the same time that Curtis's appearance did not look old, similar to Mendozo's, only his eyes seemed to have experienced vicissitudes.

"Obviously, you don't know our unique people, at most you only know a little bit." Curtis walked over. "Then, let's start from scratch."

Yang Yi didn't think it was necessary, but Curtis said so, and he couldn't object, and he was a little curious.

"You must know that the wisdom statement that unique people evolved from plants. Then, did you know that in the entire Southern Alpha galaxy, only unique people evolved from plants?" Before Yang Yi could speak, Curtis He added, "Also, do you know that the history of civilization of the Dumen clan is less than 5000 years old. Strictly speaking, the recorded history of civilization is only 3000 years old, and the previous history is all blank."

Yang Yi looked at Curtis in surprise.

Yang Yi would not be surprised if Curtis said 5000 years, because in the "world-ending disaster" that led to the destruction of the Milky Way, all civilizations that escaped from the Milky Way, including the seven top civilizations, lost their past , so the recorded history is only 5000 years.Although Yang Yi knew for a long time that the truth was not the case, it is not surprising that there is no record of 5000 years ago.

The problem is that the history of civilization of the unique people is only 3000 years.

Obviously, this is completely different from Yang Yi's understanding.

"Of course, the unique clan can be what it is today, just like you human beings, thanks to the support and help from the top civilization."

"Hidden spirit race?"

Curtis forced a smile and said, "Of course, it's not just support and help."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and heard that Curtis had other intentions.

After a while, Curtis said: "Although I don't know whether to be grateful or hate, it is undeniable that the unique clan can be today because of the gift of the Hidden Spirit Race."

"hatred?"

"You have been on Green Star for a while, don't you think this planet is strange?"

Yang Yi's brows twitched a few times, and it was only after Curtis said this that he realized it.In fact, Yang Yi was a little strange when he came to Green Star.

The point is that the natural environment on the green star is too abnormal and does not conform to the laws of nature at all.

To put it simply, the water area on the surface of Green Star is very small, almost all of it is land, and the rivers and lakes are also covered by forests, so the area is not very large.According to common sense, the natural environment of a planet like this should be very harsh, and it is impossible for a forest to cover the entire planet.

In Yang Yi's view, the existence of the unique family explained this question.

Obviously, according to Curtis's tone, that's not the case at all.

"Of course, the Hidden Spirits allowed us to settle on this planet, but they did it unintentionally, and they didn't know the secrets hidden on this planet." Curtis forced a smile and said, "Just like you humans, we have lived here since When the Milky Way escaped, the unique family was also in an extremely difficult situation. It can be said that if it were not for their strong vitality and unique way of living, the unique family would have followed the Milky Way to perish."

"You mean..."

"When I came here, there were less than a thousand individuals of the unique family. The Southern Alpha galaxy 5000 years ago was not what it is now. Not only are the environments on each planet even worse, but there are also indigenous people who are difficult to deal with. Fortunately, Yes, unique people have unique abilities and irreplaceable value. Including the home galaxy of the Human Federation, all the planets in the Southern Alpha galaxy have traces of our unique people."

Yang Yi was slightly taken aback. Although he didn't quite believe it, he could see that Curtis wasn't bragging.

"Simply put, all planets were transformed by unique people to form an environment suitable for the survival of carbon-based life. The only exception is the green star." Curtis paused for a while, and then said, "Here, the transformed It's not the planet, it's the unique people."

"What do you mean?"

"Haven't figured it out yet?" Curtis said with a faint smile, "Before that, we unique people were just low-level beings. Although we have elementary intelligence, we are far from being able to compare with other civilizations, let alone top-level civilizations. Only The unique people who came to the green star evolved advanced wisdom after about 2000 years of living and multiplying, and became a real intelligent civilization, which was recognized by other civilizations."

"But……"

"Obviously, this is not consistent with the information you have learned."

Yang Yi frowned, indeed, the history of the Dumen clan he knew was different.

"Also, you must want to know why the unique people evolved into advanced intelligent life on the green star, but not on other planets."

"Yuanjing!?" Yang Yi suddenly understood.

Curtis nodded slightly, and said: "In the past thousands of years, we have been exploring the secrets of evolution, but it wasn't until more than 1000 years ago, during the last Greenwich War, that we discovered that the evolution of unique people It is the original crystal of high-level intelligence, so it naturally exists on the green star, but it is unknown, and the original crystal has not even been discovered by the Silicon Magic Alliance, the most miraculous product of nature."

"According to you, the original crystal has always existed?"

"of course."

"Then, why wasn't it discovered by other civilizations? If it was the Hidden Spirit Race who sent the unique person to Green Star, why did the Hidden Spirit Race..."

"Don't ask me why, because I don't know either."

Yang Yi looked at Curtis in disbelief, feeling that Curtis was not telling the truth.

"Of course, it is not surprising that the spirit race did not find the original crystals on the green star, because these original crystals constitute the star core of the green star and exist in a material state. The spirit race just sent us to this planet. On the planet, the planet has not been thoroughly explored, nor has it entered the star core. In addition, 5000 years ago, in order to expand the living space, almost every planet has the footprints of our unique people."

When Curtis said this, Yang Yi understood.

Obviously, the Hidden Spirits regard the green star as an ordinary planet, so naturally there is no reason to explore the secrets inside the planet.
