40,000 Years of Cultivation

Li Yao was shocked, and vaguely understood what Su Changfa meant.

Su Changfa rolled his eyelids, and asked without a smile: "Friend Li Daoist, if you encounter such a situation in your Flying Star Realm, how would you probably deal with it?"

Li Yao pondered for a moment, and said: "If it is the Flying Star Realm, it is probably led by cultivators, plus a large number of elites among ordinary people, such as martial arts powerhouses who have practiced some exercises, to form a'death squad', no matter what you pay. How many sacrifices will you have to dig out crystal ore?"

"After all, without crystal mines, it is difficult to rush out of one's own planets and galaxies, unable to develop outwards, and one day will be trapped and die on the parent star!"

"The Flying Star Realm is different from the Panlong Realm that Senior Su said. Our home planet'Tieyuan Star' suffered a catastrophe five thousand years ago, and the environment has long become extremely harsh, and there are a large number of brave and relentless people. Outsiders can’t get close easily to'gas refiners'! Therefore, we have no resource-rich mother planet to rely on for a long time, and we have to rely on ourselves for everything!"

"Struggling to survive in the harsh sea of ​​stars, the cultivators and ordinary people in the flying star realm are not as delicate as the Panlong realm. When they really can't survive, they will still work hard!"

"What's more, I believe that this high mortality rate is only temporary. When the environment of the resource planet gradually improves, mining and smelting magic weapons are gradually upgraded, and mining experience continues to grow, I will definitely be able to find a set of effective methods to make The mortality rate has been greatly reduced to an acceptable level."

Su Changfa smiled and said, "In this way, your cultivation civilization in the Flying Star Realm is still in the ascendant period and has not yet been completely corrupted."

"The cultivation civilization of Panlong Realm is desperately ill and hopeless!"

"Panlong people have been comfortable lying on the resource-rich home planet for too long. Hundreds of years of carefree and good days have long eliminated all the noble spirit of hardworking, perseverance, aggressiveness, and daring to sacrifice in their souls. It's all gone!"

"Ordinary people in the Panlong world are spoiled by cultivators, and all the benefits brought by overdraft in the future are regarded as justified, legitimate and reasonable!"

"The cultivators have also been immersed in the aura of the'savior' for too long, and gradually lost their way in the cheers and worship of the public!"

"When the dangerous environment of the resource planet, as well as the hardships and dangers of mining...all the cruel truths are presented to them one by one, all ordinary people and most cultivators cannot accept all this!"

"Except for a few cultivators, no one wants to go to such a place to die!"

"After all, is it ethical and moral, is it'righteous', or is it heinous to trade life with flesh and blood for cold crystals?"

"This issue has caused a long and protracted discussion in the Panlong civilization. The entire society has been torn apart into two factions of opposing ideas. It is becoming more and more ineffective. Everyone spends precious time and energy on meaningless. In talks and heated debates!"

"This discussion has been going on for decades. In the past few decades, the few spar veins left on the Panlong star are still being rapidly consumed, but the Panlong people have not sent a mining ship to the resource planet!"

"Decades later, perhaps under the stimulus of the precarious resource cordon, the Panlong people finally managed to reach a consensus that the crystal mine must be mined, but the dead are definitely not allowed!"

"Don't talk about dead people, even a little bit of hard work is a violation of human rights and the core philosophy of Panlong civilization!"

"Therefore, they have consumed extremely precious resources and tried to establish an absolutely safe and comfortable mining system."

"In this mining system, the mining ship is as luxurious as an interstellar cruise ship, and the mining base is more comfortable than a luxury hotel. Most of the dangerous work is done by psionic puppets. The interstellar miners only need to sit in the base. For the light curtain, taste the jelly, drink the jade dew, just click the cursor!"

"That's the case. There are still not many people willing to mine on the resource planet. Very few miners who are willing to go to work in the frontiers think that they have made great sacrifices and insatiably demand the improvement of salary, benefits and the quality of the working environment again and again! "

"In the end, the salary and benefits of an interstellar miner were several times higher than that of a university professor on Panlong. After a large number of spar veins were mined, they were not sent back to the home star first, but they were invested in the mining base without restraint. Transformation!"

"They did not improve mining efficiency, but built a large number of leisure and entertainment facilities in the mining base that have nothing to do with work. They call it a "humanized working environment", and they shortened their working hours to five hours a day. Threatened with a strike."

"Hehe, fish and bear's paw can't have both. How can there be such a good thing in the universe that people can easily mine crystal ore?"

"Under their arbitrariness, the cost of mining and transportation has greatly increased, and even reached the level of making ends meet. For every ton of spar ore, the fuel, materials, labor costs, energy and energy that drive the psychic puppet are consumed. The repair and maintenance costs of being able to puppet, coupled with the depreciation and loss of the starship, are far beyond the value of a ton of spar ore itself!"

"Such a system, of course, can't last long. Finally, some cultivators who couldn't stand it proposed to reform, but it was too late!"

"The miners and part of the management on the resource planet formed a powerful union, turned into a huge interest group, united to bargain with the parent star, and even extended their tentacles into the parent star government."

"Panlong people regard high welfare and a relaxed working environment as basic human rights. The vast majority of people in society support mining trade unions, thinking that they are the'sacrifices' who contribute to the entire civilization and are the greatest people; here The cultivators who have grown up in this environment cannot take any coercive measures against ordinary people. Under the aggressive offensive of the mining union, they clearly have strong force, but they weakly give in and compromise again and again!"

"Every time a comprehensionist gives way, the arrogance of the mining union becomes even more arrogant, thinking about asking for better treatment!"

"The miners' remarks are also very reasonable at first glance-the spar is excavated, mainly to provide energy for the cultivation of the cultivator and the magic weapon. Of course, the cultivator has the greatest benefit!"

"If this is the case, isn't it natural to ask the cultivator to pay more for this?"

"This theory has not only been recognized by the majority of ordinary people, but even by many foolish cultivators who have betrayed their own camp and become a member of the mining union!"

"In this way, this malignant tumor that parasitized in the Panlong civilization grew bigger and bigger, and it gradually absorbed the nutrients of the parent star like a cancer. Not only did it fail to solve the problem of spar depletion, but it accelerated the deterioration of this problem. !"

"The use of a large number of psionic puppets and a semi-automated mining system also has great hidden dangers. As the psionic puppets continue to wear and tear, invisible risks are accumulating bit by bit, gradually reaching a critical point!"

"Finally, on a resource planet called the'Blood Dragon Star', the communication between the psionic puppet and the mining base was interrupted due to the Xinghai Storm, and the psionic puppet happened to fail its chip. The miner responsible for the safety inspection It was not discovered in time. As a result, it caused an unprecedented mining disaster. More than 1,700 miners were killed in the accident!"

"This tragic accident made Panlong people once again doubt the safety and rationality of mining on the resource planet!"

"Is it really reasonable to trade a living life for a cold spar? Is it really just?"

"If a civilization needs to be sustained by the death of ordinary people, what value does such a civilization have!"

"Blood crystals! What you cultivators consume is the'blood crystals' that are exchanged for the blood of our ordinary people!"

"Such voices are emerging in the society in an endless stream, popular in the name of freedom of speech."

"The high compensation also brought five insurance companies and the entire mining group on the verge of bankruptcy, setting off an extremely tragic economic crisis on Panlong Star."

"The mining union took the opportunity to launch a disaster. All the miners returned to their home planet from the resource planet, launched a massive parade, aimed at the realm of comprehension, and demanded further improvement of work benefits and safety factors. The lion opened his mouth and opened a whimsical. conditions of!"

"With Panlongxing's technical level at the time, their request was wishful thinking and could not be satisfied at all!"

"This time, the cultivator finally has nowhere to go."

"However, even when it comes to life and death, the cultivators are still unwilling, unable, or afraid to attack the mining union, but they have started anew and formed a mining team composed entirely of cultivators, wanting to rely on their own efforts. Solve resource issues."

"How is that possible?"

"After all, the number of cultivators is extremely small, and most of the time, mining on the resource planet is simply repetitive and heavy work without technical content. They go down in person, which is a complete waste of life!"

"In this way, the spar collection system of Panlong civilization is operating barely with extremely low efficiency. Over the centuries, the number of cultivators has become less and less."

"This reduction is caused by two factors."

"First, Panlongxing's spar veins have been exhausted, and the aura is getting thinner and thinner, and once again entered the small-scale'Dharma Era', the number of newly awakened practitioners has of course plummeted!"

"Secondly, the living environment on the resource planet is extremely dangerous. The cultivators burn their souls and overdraw their lives in crazy mining. The average life expectancy is much lower than that of the home planet, while the accidental casualty rate is greatly increased!"

"In addition, after spending most of the time and energy in meaningless mining work, there is no time and energy to practice, and the realm cannot be improved, that is, one death, one less!"

"Ordinary people don't think there is anything wrong with this."

"Because, in the struggle between the mining trade union and the cultivation world, the mining trade union has criticized the cultivators so badly that they have no complete body."

"The spar is dug out, mainly for the cultivator to enjoy. Even if we ordinary people don't have a spar, we can live very well!"

"The vast majority of Panlong people are bewitched by this concept and are not interested in everything that happens on the resource planet. Anyway, the huge family background left by the ancestors will be enough for them to be comfortable for hundreds of years."

"For an ordinary person, hundreds of years are really long, and you may not be able to see the end of your life in this lifetime."

"But for a civilization, hundreds of years are really a passing gap, fleeting!"

"In this way, after hundreds of years of tossing, the glorious and splendid Panlong civilization finally came to an end."

"The number of cultivators has dropped to the bottom, and it is no longer enough to maintain the entire spar vein collection system. All mining bases are in disrepair and half-dead."

"With the depletion of spar resources, the transportation route between the parent planet and the last resource planet was also interrupted. Panlong people finally lost the ability to navigate, mine and transport the Star Sea, and lost it forever!"
