Blackstone Code

Exploring a strange civilization, for intelligent creatures, especially humans, is like observing ants in an ant box, full of curiosity and expectation.

If they were really observing an ant, they would definitely feel happy, fun and interesting.

As a "God's perspective" actual material controller, they have the right to decide the fate of the ants in the ant box.

They can throw some food to the ants, watch them work hard to transport food far beyond their body weight back to the ant nest through cooperation, and then they may have some feelings of "unity is strength".

It is also possible that they will throw in some new ants, watch the two groups of ants fight each other, and feel the cruelty of life being as easy to wither as ants.

If you really don't know what to do, boiling water or a pee is also a good choice. Of course, after choosing the latter, the ant box will definitely not be used without a good brush.

The various pleasures of humans in observing ant civilization actually come from "dominance". They can dominate everything about ants, including their lives.

But when people observe a civilization that exceeds their own, it will not be so fun.

Only fear remains!

Various spectacular buildings can be seen everywhere on the octopus planet. There are even relatively primitive horse-drawn carriages on the wide roads, but the ones pulling the carriages are another kind of creature, not horses.

From the performance of these "horses", it is very likely that they are another kind of intelligent creature, enslaved, and eventually became an inferior race, doing things that only livestock would do.

If there is anything in this vast world that humans are familiar with, "class" may be the only thing they can find and that also exists in human society.

Occasionally, there are some octopus monsters squatting on the ground in simple clothes and looking like homeless people on the roadside. Some people will give them some shiny small stones when they pass by.

"Is this your currency?" The host asked promptly.

The commander nodded, "Essence, a mineral, has a very special radioactive energy that can be converted into usable energy through special instruments. It is a more commonly used currency in our society."

"I... It's hard to describe its value. The price of a meal is about a small piece." It stretched out its hand and made a gesture that would drive a certain race crazy.

The host was a little curious, "I noticed that there are many golden statues on your planet. Don't you use gold?"

The commander shook his head, "Gold is a very precious metal, in fact, it is the same throughout the universe."

"Its function is not to constant the value of an item, it represents infinite possibilities and infinite tolerance."

The host didn't know what this meant, so he could only nod to make himself look less stupid.

The picture continued. Because he had obtained permission, he simply looked at the whole city's scenery and entered a person's daily life from a first-person perspective.

Following the captain's perspective, people began to feel the life of an ordinary privileged class for a day.

In the morning, get up from the bed and eat some strange food with some bones in it.

When the captain eats bones, he will bite them directly and swallow them. The beak of the octopus monster has evolved to a high degree in the process of evolution. It can easily bite bones or stones, and the bones contain important elements they need, such as calcium.

Calcium allows soft-bodied creatures such as octopus monsters to walk upright. If they lack calcium supplements, they will suffer from various diseases.

The most common ones are degenerative diseases and cartilage diseases.

Degenerative diseases are not true degeneration, but their external manifestations will change. They will become unable to walk upright and can only crawl on the ground with their tentacles like native octopuses.

Cartilage disease has existed for a long time. As long as calcium is not supplemented enough, it will be easy to fall, multiple limbs will be weak, and unable to throw.

Compared with degenerative diseases, cartilage disease is easier to solve. Just eat more bones.

The digestive organs of octopus monsters will secrete a special enzyme that can better decompose calcium and turn these bones into nutrient solution that can be absorbed by the intestines.

So the stronger the octopus monster, the higher the daily demand for bones.

And this is precisely the most troublesome problem for them in the past few months. There are not many bones.

When conquering other civilizations, they can directly use local materials and chew up the main antagonistic species of other civilizations as food, so there is no need to waste space to carry too many supplies.

But this time, they encountered an unprecedented enemy, mechanical creation.

After biting a few permanent beaks, they gave up the idea of ​​chewing metal rods, and there was no calcium in metal rods.

Once the soldiers have a large-scale outbreak of rickets, they don't need to defeat them, they can destroy themselves.

After breakfast, the captain said goodbye to his wife and drove to work.

It's called a car, but it's actually a small aircraft. People like it very much, especially men.

Flying a spaceship on the surface is always a naive and hot dream in men's hearts!

People saw the airport where dozens of huge warships were parked, the densely packed ships on the star ring, and countless soldiers were training.

Although there is no bloody violence in the picture, almost every second and every frame is full of everything that a modern civilized society should have, but people still feel the uneasiness.

So many armies, so many soldiers, are certainly not used to help other cosmic neighbors achieve common prosperity.

Apart from invasion and war, people can't think of any reason why so many war weapons are needed.

Throughout the day, the captain carried out daily work arrangements on his battleship, mainly asking the soldiers to wipe the deck and conduct daily military training.

For example, energy cannons are used for target drone shooting training, as well as confrontation training for soldiers and confrontation training for officers.

There were some scenes that Aurora cut out and did not play. In the process of reading the captain's memory, Lynch discovered that they also had some simple ways to use cosmic energy.

Strengthen yourself and use cold weapons to fight. Under certain circumstances, the effect is much better than hot weapons!

The Earth Star is still in its infancy, and premature contact with octopus monsters will lead to some wrong directions, so Lynch did not let Aurora play it.

As the day's work ended, the captain returned home. After dinner, he and his wife lay in an egg-like hanging basket and watched TV together.

Aurora gave this scene about three full minutes, because it is also the most familiar thing to humans, sitting on the sofa eating junk food and watching junk TV series.

This allows humans to find a commonality among octopus monsters, and this commonality is a bridge for humans to better accept these octopus monsters.

And everyone thought it was very interesting, especially the performance of a large group of octopus monsters that humans could not distinguish at all. People can only tell that these octopus monsters are not the same person through their clothes, but it is almost impossible to distinguish them through their faces!

In fact, the octopus feels the same way. Although every human face has subtle differences, they can't tell them apart at all. They can only rely on their clothing and...aura.

Everyone who is watching the show has some opinions about this race and even this civilization through their understanding of the daily life of the octopus monster.

Although it is just a day in the life of a captain, it is actually a microcosm of a society and a civilization.

They are actively preparing for war every day, and their attitude towards other intelligent races makes people feel a shadow outside of those exquisite and majestic buildings.

The exchange between the host and the commander in the program also revealed the general appearance of the octopus monster civilization in front of people.

Orthogonal unity, the struggle between imperial power and divine power, and the struggle between nobles, they are just like those things that have happened in human history and are still happening, without any difference.

Power, wealth, whether human or octopus monster, are all fighting to the death around these most essential desires.

In the second half, when the host talked about "attitudes toward other civilizations," you could feel that the atmosphere was obviously heavier.

After thinking for a moment, the commander replied very solemnly, "All weak civilizations will be enslaved and destroyed. This is a rule and a truth in the universe."

"Including one day in the future, if a civilization more powerful than ours appears, we will also be enslaved and destroyed."

"The universe and civilization always rise in a spiral cone. When it reaches the apex, there will only be one place left for one civilization."

"Although the entire universe seems peaceful now, with the support of the gods, a new round of cosmic war has begun to break out."

"All major civilizations are cleaning up the surrounding low-level civilizations, and then we will selectively launch wars and explore deeper universes."

"Perhaps in the process of exploration, we will discover a more powerful civilization. At that time, it may be the moment of our demise."

"No one can explain this kind of thing clearly, but we all know that the entire universe will eventually only be able to accommodate one civilization!"

"War is a fact that can never be avoided or avoided."

"Even if we briefly end the war today, the war will still break out tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even longer."

"No one can escape this result. If you don't want to become dust in the universe, then it is best to become a civilization that stands at the top!"
