Chapter 119 Why did we lose all the plants?
Yunzhen felt that there were too many people in the conference room, so many that it made him feel uneasy.

He discussed with Pei Qinian and decided to continue the conversation in a secret place.

Therefore, the next video communication was transferred to Pei Qinian's study.

In addition to Pei Liangyu and Pei Yuan, those who came in included the top leader Li Yan, Dean Lin from the Research Institute, and Yun Boming from the Star Network Administration.

Yun Zhen was very curious about the situation in the interstellar space, so he asked:

"What kind of plants do you need? What do you usually eat for three meals?"

Pei Qinian was a little surprised by her question, but he still introduced the current situation of Interstellar Xia Kingdom.

"We eat nutrient solution for three meals a day. Its main ingredients come from exotic plants, animals and minerals from various planets."

"However, the exotic plants in the Xia Star Region are too scarce. We have to spend a lot of energy stones every year to trade materials with other allied countries."

"Whether it's an alien plant, an alien beast, or a mineral, the energy they contain is quite violent and needs to be processed multiple times before it can be made into a nutrient solution. For example, the blue planet plants that can be eaten directly as recorded in history books have completely become extinct in the interstellar space."

"The Xia Kingdom star region is currently experiencing signs of a food crisis. The supplies we exchange each year can barely sustain us. We have planned to explore new lands in other star regions to see if we can find more ownerless planets with natural exotic plants."

"We are sincerely grateful that you are willing to bring the Blue Star plants to Xia Country."

"If possible, we would like to buy all the plants you have. The terms of the transaction are negotiable. Whether it is credit points or other materials, we will do our best to meet your requirements."

"Where are you now? Do you need official protection? Xia Country's military strength is pretty good. You can try to trust us."

There is no large-scale planting base in the Xia Kingdom star region, so Pei Qinian and others speculated that the owner might be from an alien star region.

If you are close, protect it quickly to avoid being discovered by other allied countries in the star system and then being fought over in a bloody battle.

Yun Zhen felt that there was nothing to hide, so he spoke frankly:
"I am a human from another time and space, and it was by chance that I was connected to the interstellar world."

"Just protect this media robot. Without it, the two worlds may never be able to connect again."

Thinking of how the interstellar people seemed to be particularly wary of robots, he added:
"Don't worry, I'm a living person, and I'm a Xia countryman like you, not an AI."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Boming, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly stood up.

He stumbled and bumped into a chair beside him, which made a harsh sound as it rubbed against the floor.

Yun Boming ignored it and just looked at the robot on the screen with a shocked expression.

The other people in the study were a little puzzled and looked at him with questioning eyes.

Yun Boming realized his gaffe and quickly waved his hands and said "It's okay", then sat down in silence and never showed any abnormality again.

After this little incident, Pei Qinian and others forgot to continue asking questions.

Yun Zhen on the other end of the line didn't care and directly changed the topic to the content of the transaction.

The two sides discussed for a while and finally decided that the first batch of plants to be traded would be mainly grains, vegetables and fruits.

There will also be grain seeds and vegetable seeds, accounting for about one-fifth.

After all, planting and harvesting take a lot of time, and the food crisis is imminent.

"There are two types of grain seeds: conventional seeds that can be saved, and hybrid rice seeds that cannot be saved."

"The latter won't be in large quantities, and I don't know how to make them, so you can explore it on your own."

"I will purchase a batch of fruit tree seedlings that are of the right age, but can you plant them?"

After more than a thousand years of no planting, do the genetic abilities of the farming people still exist?

Don't take the seeds but fail to grow them, that would be a shame for our ancestors.

Pei Qinian thought for a moment and said honestly:

"There was a lot of video footage stored back then, so we will organize a special team to learn and practice at the same time."

Big boss Li Yan also spoke up:

"In the coming days, the government will mobilize the whole nation to learn planting, universities will also offer professional courses, and people willing to learn planting will be widely recruited from the society."

"Many policies related to planting will be implemented one after another, and we will strive to train a group of professional talents within this year." Yun Zhen nodded and still had faith in their promise.

Whatever the Xia people want to do, as long as they concentrate their efforts, there is nothing they cannot accomplish.

But there was one thing she had always wanted to ask.

"There were so many plants on Blue Star back then, and a few seeds per person was a lot. How could Xia Country lose all its plants?"

It is really surprising and sad to see the Xia people, who once believed that "food is the most important thing for people", fall to this point.

Speaking of this, Pei Qinian couldn't help but sigh.

"This story begins from the end of the world more than a thousand years ago..."

More than a thousand years ago, Blue Star entered the end of the world.

Human beings tried their best to resist natural disasters, thinking that they could survive if they could just get through them.

Unexpectedly, natural disasters not only never end, but also become more and more severe.

The Blue Planet has evolved for billions of years. The lifespan of the planet is very long, and different kinds of creatures have appeared in every era.

Every time an era changes, the planet's environment and climate will undergo tremendous changes.

Before the end of the world, five mass extinction events had already occurred on Blue Planet.

For example, the dinosaurs familiar to humans became extinct in the Cretaceous period 6500 million years ago.

In the evolution of the blue planet, some disasters that sound outrageous have actually happened, such as multiple huge celestial bodies colliding with the planet, drastic changes in oxygen content, and global rainstorms lasting more than 200 days.

The end of the world more than a thousand years ago was extremely terrible.

In the later stages, it became almost impossible to stay on the ground, there were disasters in the sky, and the oxygen content in the air continued to decrease.

Human beings have no choice but to set out into the stars to find a new home where they can survive.

However, humans at that time did not yet have spacecraft capable of long-term travel.

No planet with a suitable habitable environment has been discovered.

If the disaster on Blue Planet had not been too extreme, no one would actually want to flee their homes.

In such a dire and desperate situation, the ancestor of the Pei family suddenly took out a spaceship.

On the eve of human extinction, he led everyone out of the solar system.

During their voyage, the human fleet encountered a wormhole and accidentally traveled to the vicinity of the current Interstellar Alliance, where they came into contact with interstellar intelligent creatures with strange appearances and completely different civilization development.

Because the two sides were unable to communicate, the war lasted for nearly 20 years.

At that time, the Xia people still had plants in their hands, and even found a way to grow them in the unfamiliar interstellar environment.

The interstellar intelligent creatures felt that they could not continue fighting, so they proposed peace talks and accepted humans into the interstellar alliance.

The Xia officials who held decision-making power readily agreed.

However, they did not expect that the interstellar creatures would secretly contact countries M, Y and R, and instigate them to leave the Human Alliance.

At the same time, the three countries were informed that interstellar intelligent creatures can awaken their spiritual powers.

It is only a matter of time before humans enter the interstellar alliance and possess spiritual powers.

The deeper the cultural heritage and the longer the civilization inheritance, the stronger the awakened spiritual power will be.

Countries M, Y, and R betrayed the Human Alliance and launched a surprise attack and bombed Xia's spacecraft carrying plant seeds and historical relics.

They took most of their citizens to join other countries in the Interstellar Alliance, actively intermarried and had children with them, began to integrate into the interstellar world at the genetic level, and finally even completely abandoned their own language and culture.

The Xia people fought with the Interstellar Alliance for several more years, and finally won seven planets with barren environments. They named them after the Big Dipper and settled down in the Interstellar Alliance.

From then on, the human alliance was only known as the Xia Kingdom, and there were no other ethnic groups or countries on the blue planet.
