Chapter 153 Little Moon in Place
In the end, Esther and his companions still had no idea what the Galactic Civilization's plans were, but that did not stop them from being very secretive about this civilization. No matter he is a real big shot or just bluffing, there is no need for them to comment too much.
Don't act rashly before you understand the specific rules.
This is a sentence that all intelligent life forms in the universe must keep in mind.
Behind every such admonition are countless amounts of blood and tears; they are words of caution shaped by the lives of countless predecessors. No one can be sure what kind of life the universe will give birth to, and every civilization that has gone through untold hardships to reach the interstellar age has its own unique features.
Superficial information can never give people a complete understanding of a civilization, and both the unknown and partial knowledge represent danger. There are countless civilizations that have brought disaster upon themselves due to their unbridled speech, and the lessons learned are engraved in the minds of civilizations throughout the universe.
After turning their attention back, Esther and the others discovered that the beautiful lady who had just appeared was slowly disappearing.
"? What's going on?"
Frowning in confusion, Esther raised his translucent hand, called out his own panel, and glanced at the playback that he had not noticed just now.
In fact, there is nothing good to see. They do not understand the language of the galactic civilization, and watching the replay is just to see the general development of things. Judging from the video, after the great god Xihe said something, the mysterious lady bowed respectfully, and then her body suddenly began to slowly disappear.
While Esther was watching the video, others leaned over to watch along. But after watching it, they still didn't understand the arrangements of the galactic civilization.
"What does this mean?" Suddenly appearing and disappearing, is it just a show? But they don’t understand the alien language, so who are they performing this show for?
Just as everyone was confused and trying to figure out the situation, the mysterious lady had completely disappeared, and in her place, there was a shining satellite. This satellite not only reflects the light of the distant yellow dwarf star, but it also radiates light itself.
"...So that lady is a... satellite??!"
"...This is unbelievable...How can a living organism be a satellite?!"
"I can't sense anything unusual from the video. If I could go to the scene, I should be able to sense something." The silent lizardman Eisen spoke again: "But now I can vaguely sense that the satellite was indeed transformed by that lady."
"But how is this possible?!" Esther shouted in disbelief. With so many civilizations in the universe, he had never heard of any intelligent life form that could become a planet! "That's a planet! If the people of the galactic civilization can turn into planets, then doesn't that mean that the entire galaxy could be their corpses?"
"Hiss...Esther, what you said..." is a bit perverted.
"What's wrong with what I said?" Esther was very excited because the development of the matter was beyond imagination. "It's 80% possible, right? Everyone has been speculating before why the galaxies of the Milky Way civilization are so strange. Every life-bearing star is surrounded by a satellite, and it is very obvious that it is not an artificial satellite, but a natural planet."
"No galaxy has ever had such a structure. The chance of a satellite and a planet matching is at least one in a thousand, if not one in ten thousand. But here, the chance is 100%. Don't you have any doubts?!"
After a heated debate, Esther's breathing became unstable. His chest rose and fell a little rapidly, and his cheeks were tinged with a faint blue, which was a proof of the Smooth's excitement, just like the flushed cheeks of the Blue Star people.
It’s just that the blood in Smooth’s body is blue, so his cheeks are blue.
"......"
The others were silent for a while, but still agreed with Esther's opinion.
"It is indeed very likely. Previously, the theory with the highest support rate on the Starnet was that it was an artificial satellite. It cannot be seen from the outside, but it was created by means we do not understand. But now it seems that it was directly transformed from a human..."
"...What kind of existence is the galactic civilization..."
"...Our previous guesses were all wrong, extremely wrong. This absolutely cannot be an illusion." As the situation developed, the camera in the live broadcast room was also changing. Now it was switching to a close-up to make it easier for the audience to see the actions of the great god Xihe.
Without seeing the God Xihe doing anything, the tiny satellite flew towards the newly born life star. As it approached the planet, its size gradually expanded. By the time it reaches the predetermined orbit, the satellite transformed by humans is no different from a real satellite.
As the satellite was in place, changes began to occur on the life planet.
Time passes, tides rise and fall, flowers bloom and fall, and the true cycle of life begins.
Such a real change could never be created by a mere illusion. Even someone as powerful as Kil'jaeden, who had gathered a planet's worth of high-level psychic controllers, could only cast an illusion that covered half of the planet.
That was even after using countless cutting-edge amplifiers.
At first, Esther and his companions speculated that if the galactic civilization gathered the power of the entire civilization and added some amplifiers developed locally, it might be possible to achieve this effect. But the current reality tells them that the other party has the ability to change the world.
Illusions are inherently deceptive and can easily be influenced by the thoughts of the person controlling them. It's okay for one person and easy to control, but when a group of people come together to control the illusion, it's impossible to do it so delicately.
Kil'jaeden, the originator of mind control, also combines reality and illusion, and does not rely entirely on illusion to defeat the enemy.
Artificially generated illusions are no different from well-programmed virtual online games. The larger the scale of the former, the more loopholes there will be, and these loopholes are irreparable.
It is no exaggeration to say that all intelligent life forms are watching today's live broadcast. In addition, there are high-level people from various civilizations who are present at the scene. If this is really an illusion, then the galactic civilization is terrifying in another sense.
It is not that we have to insist on speculating that the Galactic Civilization is using illusions, but now is an important moment for the Galactic Civilization to join the Cosmic Alliance. If the Galactic Civilization does not demonstrate its strength, it will not be able to protect its own rights and interests in the subsequent meetings.
Even if it turns out to be a massive scam, the treaty that has been established will not be changed at will.
Although other deceived civilizations will certainly make moves behind the scenes, on the surface, the rights and interests obtained by this galactic civilization will not be deducted.
Some people may say that after discovering that they have been deceived, they can simply refuse to recognize the treaty.
Indeed, it is possible. Anyway, a civilization that needs to rely on deception at this critical juncture must be strong on the outside but weak on the inside. If the contract is torn up, the other party will certainly not dare to question anything. However, there are a few points to note here.
First of all, a joint conference of cosmic civilizations cannot be held easily. It requires the consent of all members of the Universal Federation before a meeting can be called a "joint conference of civilizations." This kind of meeting will only focus on one thing, that is, the emerging civilization joining the Universal Federation and applying to become a major member.
It is somewhat similar to the concept of a country on the blue planet joining the United Nations and becoming a permanent member of the Security Council.
One can imagine what kind of rights such a status brings.
Secondly, not every civilization can apply to join; all civilizations need to be assessed. Only when the assessment is passed can you further strive for approval at the meeting.
When the meeting is formally confirmed, it means that the civilization has indeed passed the first step of the assessment. This means that even if it is a scam, the people of the Universal Federation themselves are not capable of discovering it. Isn't this also a kind of strength?
Then in the end they discovered the truth, and they had no choice but to accept the effectiveness of the covenant, as they had no nerve to tear up the contract.
Finally, thirdly, in the universe, everyone relies on their own abilities. Before the establishment of the Universal Federation, this universe was a veritable dark forest. Each civilization can only go it alone. Except for itself, everyone else is an enemy, and there is absolutely no possibility of concluding an alliance.
That period of history has always been remembered by all civilizations. Whenever someone fails to abide by the cosmic contract, everyone will restart historical education and let reality tell everyone how wonderful life is today.
According to incomplete statistics, more than a hundred civilizations disappeared in the Dark Ages.
The dissipation mentioned here means that the history of the entire civilization is directly annihilated. Except for the universe above people's heads, no one remembers that they ever existed.
Therefore, constraints and rules are necessary. Only under rules can all civilizations develop better. A single dominant force will never be able to go far.
To sum up, even if the galactic civilization has pulled a shocking scam today, the Universal Federation has already entered the game, and they have no choice but to move forward. Unless they want to degrade the current environment, they will recognize the contract afterwards.
Just because no civilization has ever been able to achieve this in the past doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Perhaps the Galactic Civilization is the first case. As long as they can hold out until the contract is signed and get the seal of the controller that symbolizes their identity and status, they will be able to feel more at ease in the future.
But this was all before the goddess Xihe created the satellite.
Now, looking at the satellite entering orbit and starting to operate, no one dares to question the capabilities of the galactic civilization.
It’s not that the move of the great god Xihe is more powerful, but it involves many issues related to illusion.
To give a simple example, it is like making a virtual game, and the creation is to make a promotional video. As long as you have enough patience and ability, you can achieve a lifelike and realistic effect. After placing the satellite, time on the planet begins to flow and life begins to cycle. This is the editing intelligent system.
If you want NPCs to achieve the level of real-life interaction, the technical difficulty involved is countless times greater than making a "video". Similarly, if you want to make a 'fake' world appear real, the difficulty is several times more complicated than setting up an illusion.
This is why everyone has thrown the 'illusion' conjecture to the back of their minds.
It is barely possible to create a realistic video illusion, but to make the illusion undergo hundreds of millions of different changes simultaneously in an instant is not something that can be easily created by human control of mental power.
Of course, all this is just speculation by Esther and others.
After all, they are neither professional researchers nor do they have any talents in certain areas. They are just spectators who have ideas about the new civilization. Perhaps in the next second, their guesses will be overturned and then slapped in the face by reality.
