Chapter 115: The History of Sky Star (5000 words)

After the Sky People were born and formed a civilization, they had already achieved extreme per capita food abundance just after entering the agricultural age. Due to their connection with the Tree of Life, they could easily, based on their own cognitive level, let the von Neumann self-replicating machines spread throughout their environment to directly create the tools, food and even buildings that they needed to provide shelter for themselves.

Of course, at this stage, the Sky People's understanding of the natural environment and its laws, as well as the level of utilization and manipulation of nanomachines, are still quite rudimentary. Limited by the fact that the spiritual perception network of individual and collective Sky People at this time is seriously insufficient in science and the material world, they cannot truly understand the specific principles and operating mechanisms of nanomachines existing in the natural environment, nor can they make the nanomachines in the surrounding environment produce overly complex products. For example, at this time, a Sky People can easily communicate and interact with the Tree of Life to let the nanomachines in the environment make a set of iron farm tools for themselves, or a house made of thatch, wood and earth bricks. However, if it is a product that is beyond the Sky People's cognition and understanding at this time, such as a binary electronic computer based on large-scale integrated circuits or an overly complex technological product such as a fusion nuclear reactor, the Sky People with limited cognition will not be able to describe the purpose, principles and specific operating mechanism of the product they need through the Tree of Life, as well as how the product they need is composed, nor can they make the nanomachines in the surrounding environment produce such an extremely complex product.

If the growth of human productivity depends on the progress of technology and efficiency, as well as the large-scale promotion of more advanced production tools, then the productivity of the Sky Star people depends entirely on their level of cognition and understanding of nature. As long as one of them discovers a new natural and physical law that can be summarized and utilized, then this newly discovered law will be transmitted through the spiritual perception network to all individuals in a very short time. Then naturally, the entire Sky Star society will begin to try to see if it can use this law to create new production tools. Once a physical and natural law that can be summarized and understood is discovered, all individuals will want to create new machines and tools based on the principles behind this law, and generate material rewards brought by greater productivity improvement in a relatively short period of time.

Thanks to the widespread existence of nanomachines on the planet, as long as the Sky Aliens realize that a certain physical law can be used to create more efficient production tools and machinery, then these new production tools and machines will be manufactured and quickly improved in an incredibly short period of time, and then promoted to all Sky Aliens within a few days at the longest.

For example, when a Sky Alien realized that the phenomenon of water boiled by fire pushing up the lid of a pot was entirely possible, it was entirely possible to create a similar principle by using the expansion of boiled water to do work to drive some simple automated machine. In less than two days, the first practical steam engine was born in the Sky Alien society. Then, the principles of steam engine manufacturing and use were almost immediately spread to the brains of all Sky Aliens through the mental perception network. Then, just one week later, almost all Sky Aliens were using steam engines. They described the detailed principles and specific structures of the steam engine as an automatic machine to the Tree of Life through the mental perception network, and the nanomachines in the environment produced steam engines in quantity and quality far exceeding the actual demand for each Sky Alien individual who made a request.

For the history of human society, if you want to study science and natural laws, first of all, you must let some people leave their jobs. Then, these people who rely on others for their livelihood will have extra and sufficient time and energy to explore the laws of nature and science. Although the use of new scientific laws and discoveries by these people may ensure the further improvement of social productivity, more often, these people with higher knowledge levels than other individuals will monopolize knowledge, thus causing a long-term unequal society based on knowledge and social wealth and based on the monopoly of knowledge by some people. This will eventually form a series of vicious cycles, and the ruling class of the people who monopolize knowledge will become increasingly separated from the general public as producers. Long-term oppression and exploitation have been maintained in human society and have lasted for thousands of years. Even after entering the industrial society, this behavior of some individuals taking advantage of information gaps and differences in cognitive levels to exploit the labor results of the vast majority of grassroots people is still widespread.

In the nearly perfect society of Sky Star, due to the mental perception network, this knowledge and information monopoly has no basis for existence from the beginning. Any new scientific discovery will be immediately known to everyone, fully understood, and immediately invested in new production technology. The widespread existence of nanomachines on the planet that can be controlled by everyone has cut off the premise that a few individuals possess most of the means of production and more advanced production tools. For the people of Sky Star, as long as a new production tool is created, then this tool will be immediately promoted to the entire population. Any individual Sky Star can command the nanomachines to create this new production tool through the mental perception network. In this state, it is impossible for any person or group to possess all the means of production alone, and naturally there is no prerequisite and meaning for the emergence of currency. Capitalism, which developed from feudal society on Earth, cannot be born on Sky Star. It can be said that in the history of Sky Star, all social models that may lead to any exploitation have been completely and directly strangled before they were born.

On Sky Star, all systems based on exploitation and oppression and the soil that may produce capitalism were completely eliminated before the birth of civilization. Therefore, the civilization on Sky Star has long been under a communist utopian system with huge productivity provided by the Tree of Life. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Tree of Life itself is like a planetary-level out-of-control servitor plant that meets all the needs of the Sky Star people in the process of development. The Tree of Life controls the matter and energy of the entire planet and provides all the products needed for the development of Sky Star society and civilization. Therefore, the development of civilization on Sky Star can be said to be smooth sailing. Since the formation of civilization, it took less than 500 years to manufacture and popularize steam engines, and directly entered the industrial age at a rapid speed, which is only about equal to less than half a lifetime of a generation of Sky Star people.

Compared to the First Industrial Revolution on Earth, which brought about productivity innovations while also causing countless negative impacts, people in later generations are often reluctant to face the tragic and overlooked dark side behind this technological revolution: the majority of individual human workers were forced to accept pitifully low wages and long hours of heavy physical labor, facing poor working conditions and life-threatening dangerous environments. Industrial cities were plagued by rampant infectious diseases caused by crowded housing and poor sanitation. There was a lack of even the most basic education and medical resources and facilities. Countless human individuals were treated like cannon fodder and thrown into this social change. Although the productivity progress it brought was unprecedented, it still inevitably left countless sequelae in human society, including a further widening of the gap between the rich and the poor, intensified social divisions, endless plundering of resources in other parts of the planet, oppression and exploitation of local residents, environmental pollution, etc. The sequelae brought about by these problems continued to hinder the development of human civilization like a burden that could not be thrown away hundreds of years later.

The first industrial revolution on Sky Star seemed extremely mild. The existence of von Neumann self-replicating machines all over the planet allowed every individual to own a full set of means of production. Class differentiation based on private ownership and the possession of means of production had never emerged. Naturally, the people of Sky Star did not need to use countless individuals as flesh and blood parts and throw them into factories as consumables of the industrial revolution, as did the first industrial revolution on Earth. On the contrary, the industrial revolution, including technologies such as steam engines, allowed the people of Sky Star to almost accelerate and run into a communist society with extremely abundant productivity. The rewards brought by the productivity explosion brought by the Industrial Revolution further promoted the people of Sky Star to study the laws of nature and utilize them to the extreme.

The prototype of Sky Star's industrial society also began to take shape at this time. Unlike the long-term large-scale centralized industry in human society, Sky Star's industrial society has been in an extremely decentralized state since its birth. Because each person possesses a full set of means of production, the entire Sky Star's industrial society has been completely distributed since its birth. In addition, due to the social operation model of Sky Star, the existence of currency-based business is unnecessary. All individuals possess various material products far beyond their actual needs. However, this also leads to the fact that Sky Star's industrial production must be completely decentralized.

Less than 20 years after the revolutionary productivity improvement brought about by the steam engine, the society of Sky Star entered the electrical age. However, the technological product that helped the people of Sky Star enter the electrical age was not the internal combustion engine familiar to humans, but... a microwave wireless power supply receiving device.

All the plants on Sky Star, including the Tree of Life that has grown out of the atmosphere, have the ability to convert photoelectricity. They can directly convert the sunlight they receive into electrical energy and store it in their bodies. Most plants have organs that can release the electrical energy they store in the form of specific microwaves. This results in a huge amount of electrical energy in the form of microwaves in the atmosphere of the entire Sky Star. After the people of Sky Star understood the existence and principles of products such as electricity and magnetism, they naturally discovered the huge amount of microwave electrical energy in the atmosphere of Sky Star. All they have to do is use nanomachines to create receiving devices that can receive microwave power transmission. Compared with humans in the electrical age, who spent a lot of time, manpower and resources looking for fuel for power generation, the electrical age of Sky Star has gone in a completely different direction. The microwave electricity that is widely present in the planet's atmosphere means that the people of Sky Star do not need to worry about energy problems in any corner of the planet. They only need a relatively simple receiving device to obtain almost unlimited energy. The concept of energy crisis is even just a concept that has long existed in fantasy works for the people of Sky Star.

During these two industrial revolutions, the people of Sky Star began to gain a deeper understanding of the world. New discoveries such as the periodic table, atomic nuclei, stars and planets, particle physics, molecular chemistry, etc. emerged like mushrooms after a rain. Correspondingly, as the people of Sky Star's cognitive level improved, their technology and productivity levels also began to experience further explosive development. With the proposal of a related theory of automatic computing machines, the first computer was born on Sky Star. Although due to the immaturity of the relevant theories at the time, this machine, made of vacuum tubes, mercury delay lines, cathode ray oscilloscopes, etc., manufactured by nanomachines, was a very primitive hardware in the eyes of later generations. The overall weight of the heavy automatic computing machine exceeded 50 tons, and the design was not sophisticated. However, the barrier-free information communication capabilities created by the mental perception network soon began to rapidly optimize the design of this computer.

In just less than ten years, the size and computing power of computers have been optimized to the 21st century level from the initial behemoth weighing up to 50 tons. The original vacuum tube design has also been replaced by carbon chips and silicon chips using large-scale integrated circuits.

As the people of Sky Star discovered the different characteristics of carbon and silicon as basic materials for integrated circuits in the process of utilizing the relevant materials on the periodic table of chemical elements, the giant computing center of the Tree of Life, coupled with the huge productivity provided by nanomachines, allowed the Sky Star civilization to choose to walk on two legs, and eventually developed two integrated circuit technology routes that were completely different in principle.

On the other hand, the Sky People's understanding of the microscopic world began to deepen to the atomic level. After discovering the phenomenon of atomic fission that constitutes heavy elements, the first fission nuclear reactor using uranium as raw material was born almost quickly, and atomic energy technology was rapidly promoted. But then, with the promotion of atomic energy technology, the Sky People made a new discovery, that is, their bodies.

In the research on radioactive elements and atomic energy, the three tribes on Sky Star were surprised to find that they had an unimaginable natural resistance to various types of ionizing radiation. Even after the ionizing radiation they were exposed to exceeded a certain level, their bodies seemed to be activated, like a switch. The nanomachines in every Sky Star person began to directly absorb the external ionizing radiation, further strengthening their already powerful cell repair ability. According to research, when a Sky Star person is exposed to ionizing radiation of more than 100,000 millisieverts per second, the nanomachines in the body will begin to activate rapidly and start to work crazily. The nanomachines release a lot of heat while absorbing this dose of ionizing radiation. So in this state, the body temperature of the Sky Star people will rise rapidly, and the body temperature may even soar to over 60 or 70 degrees. However, unlike humans who will die directly if they are exposed to this dose of ionizing radiation, the Sky Star people will only make the nanomachines in their bodies more active after receiving a large amount of ionizing radiation. Although there will be the disadvantage of increased body temperature, at this time, under the action of highly activated nanomachines, the body of a Sky Star person will have an incredible ability to repair itself.

Of course, in this state, the appearance of the Sky Alien who has been exposed to excessive radiation will also change. In addition to the soaring body temperature, the nanomachines in the blood vessels will begin to glow due to the excessive doses of various types of radiation. At this time, the blood vessels all over the body of this Sky Alien are like lines, emitting blue light. The light is even clearly visible outside the skin, as if the body is covered with blue lines.

With the advancement of Sky Star's productivity and technological explosion, more advanced fusion reaction theories were also proposed. At this time, Sky Star's development level was almost the same as that of the Earth after the third industrial revolution. The time it took to achieve such results was less than 1000 years after the formation of the intelligent race on Sky Star.

What the Sky People themselves did not realize was that with the proposal of their fusion-related theories, they had already produced the first positive feedback on the Tree of Life.

Shortly after the theory of stellar CNO cyclic fusion was proposed, the Sky Star people observed a phenomenon that certain roots of the Tree of Life on the planet were taking active actions. A large number of nanomachines were mobilized and, under the control of the Tree of Life, were carrying out engineering construction that was difficult for them to understand.

In the perception of the Sky Star people, the Tree of Life almost never takes any proactive action without their need or active request. In the more than 1000 years since the birth of the Sky Star civilization, this is the first time that the Sky Star civilization has observed that the Tree of Life suddenly began to act independently without any request from itself, and mobilized a large amount of material on the planet to start building some kind of project.

At this time, the Sky Aliens, who had already relied on the huge amount of microwave electricity on the planet, had already achieved true energy freedom. The demand for fusion reactor technology was not so urgent. After completing the research and development and promotion of deuterium-tritium fusion reactors and deuterium-deuterium fusion-related technologies, there was actually no urgent need for more difficult technologies such as hydrogen-boron fusion and proton chain hydrogen-protium-hydrogen fusion reactions. Therefore, at this time, they did not know what project the Tree of Life was carrying out. However, because their own civilization was born from the Tree of Life and they had complete trust in the Tree of Life, coupled with their natural curiosity as intelligent creatures, they also urgently wanted to know what project the Tree of Life was building?

It was not until one of the roots of the Tree of Life and the nanomachines it controlled completed part of the construction that they truly realized what the plant that created its own civilization had created.

It was a biological-based heavy element fusion reactor standing in the ocean, composed entirely of biological materials, with countless overlapping and intertwined layers of huge root fibers made of room-temperature superconductor materials and nanomechanical materials. Huge amounts of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and even silicon elements were absorbed by this biological-based heavy element reactor, and the terrifying energy stored in the atoms of these elements was released at high temperatures of up to tens of billions of degrees.

Chapter 116: The History of Sky Star (Part 2) (5000 words)

Since the birth of civilization on Sky Star, the three tribes have relied on the help provided by the Tree of Life to establish a utopian society. However, they do not have enough understanding of the nature of the Tree of Life. For a long time, the people of Sky Star have only regarded the Tree of Life as a digital social system similar to Ogas, a program without self-awareness similar to weak artificial intelligence and a big data algorithm that changes according to the actual needs of Sky Star society.

But they were wrong. After witnessing the hundreds of bio-based heavy fusion power generation devices made entirely of biological materials and room-temperature superconductors, which stood on the surface of the planet as tall as mountains and were left behind after the completion of a series of projects carried out by the Tree of Life across the entire planet, the Sky People truly realized for the first time that the Tree of Life might have self-awareness.

The cause of this incident was actually originally due to the research of the Sky Star people on nuclear fusion physics. After entering the industrial age, the Sky Star people naturally discovered atoms and the huge energy contained in them, and proposed the demonstration and experiment of using fusion reactions as a way to obtain energy. In the process of verifying this theory, the Sky Star civilization also became interested in the specific principles of the nuclear reactions of stars above their heads. After long-term astronomical observations and research, they found that stellar nuclear fusion reactions are caused by proton chain fusion through huge mass and gravity, and the carbon, nitrogen and oxygen cycle dominates most of the main sequence stars in the universe they observed. After having a clear understanding of the principle of this effect, they tried to develop a theoretically feasible fusion reactor based on the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle and a fusion reactor relying on silicon-oxygen element reactions. Although their technology at the time was not enough to produce such advanced reactors, this did not prevent them from theoretically demonstrating such technologies. The design and related specific information about the fusion reactor with the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle as the main fuel and the silicon-oxygen element heavy fusion reactor were naturally shared within the Sky Star people's spiritual perception network. The Tree of Life, the planet-sized computing center that provides the main computing power for the entire spiritual perception network, noticed this paper and related theoretical designs.

In fact, the Tree of Life does have a very clear self-awareness and cognition, but the self-awareness of the Tree of Life almost never appears in front of the Sky Star People. Most of the time, it only serves as a planetary computing center, providing computing power for the Sky Star People's spiritual perception network, and accurately regulating the climate and geological environment of the entire Sky Star. As a self-aware being, the Tree of Life is not omniscient, just as it is impossible for a person to fully understand every cell in his body. The same is true for the Tree of Life. Since its birth, she actually does not understand the nanomachines that make up her cells, and how they can transform by absorbing ionizing radiation. The specific principle of how the Tree of Life produces enough energy for its own growth is not clear to even the Tree of Life itself. The diameter of these individual nanounits is only about two nanometers. The cells of the Tree of Life composed of them and other animals and plants on the planet, including the Sky People, all have the ability to obtain energy by absorbing ionizing radiation. The Tree of Life and its affiliated Sky People and planetary plant system are the best among them. The Sky People and these planetary plants can even regard radioactive radiation of more than 5000 roentgens per second as harmless sunbathing, although the Sky People did not realize their powerful "talent" until the popularization of atomic energy technology.

As for the von Neumann self-replicator with a diameter of only two nanometers, which is the key to the cells and planetary ecosystem of the entire Tree of Life, the Sky People have racked their brains to study this nanomachine. However, because of the Tree of Life, she actually has only a vague understanding of these nanomachines. Although she knows how to use and command these nanomachines, she still knows nothing about the structure and source of these nanomachines at a more microscopic level. Therefore, both the Sky People and the Tree of Life itself have been in a state of blindness for a long time regarding this von Neumann self-replicator that has accompanied the entire history of the development of their civilization.

After the Sky People completed the theoretical physics research related to fusion and successfully designed and manufactured the earliest deuterium-tritium fusion reactor, they further explored the corresponding technology of the deuterium-deuterium reactor. Although their science at this time had clearly recognized that any element lighter than iron could be used as fusion fuel, the relevant technical requirements and difficulty required for most fusion reactions were too high. Therefore, both the Cno cycle fusion reactor and the silicon-oxygen element heavy fusion reactor remained only at the drawing and theoretical level, and no reactor was built as food.

But after this theory was uploaded to the spiritual perception network, it attracted the attention of the consciousness of the Tree of Life. With her planetary-level energy and material control capabilities, she created the CNO cycle fusion reactor and the silicon-oxygen element heavy fusion reactor that originally existed only in theory in a way that the Sky Alien people had never expected. The shells and main materials of these reactors are almost entirely built of the biological roots of the Tree of Life composed of room-temperature superconducting materials. Under this idea of ​​using the resources and energy of the entire planet like a miracle, the heavy fusion reactor that was originally impossible for a planetary civilization was successful.

At this moment, the Sky People also realized that the Tree of Life might be a being with a very strong autonomous consciousness. What could attract the attention of the Tree of Life was obviously the discovery and application of some basic scientific theories that were extremely important to both the Sky People and the Tree of Life. For example, the Cno cycle fusion and re-fusion related theories this time greatly increased the efficiency of the Tree of Life in utilizing planetary energy, and the hundreds of Cno fusion and silicon-oxygen re-fusion reactors manufactured by the Tree of Life further enriched the energy sources of the Sky People.

During this period, in addition to nuclear physics, another basic theory was proposed, which revolutionized the entire Sky Star society and the Tree of Life. This theory was the theory related to quantum mechanics.

For a bird, it is born knowing how to fly, but it is impossible for a bird to understand aerodynamics and various complex principles of flight-related engineering design. The same is true for the Tree of Life. She has endowed the Sky People with a spiritual perception network, and she also has a spiritual perception network across the entire planet. She can perform a series of fine-tuning and control on this spiritual perception network. However, just like a bird can fly but cannot understand the principles of aerodynamics, the Tree of Life does not understand the principles of the technology that makes up the spiritual perception network.

In the sky, after the aliens proposed theories related to quantum mechanics and discovered the widespread physical phenomenon of quantum entanglement, the thinking of the Tree of Life seemed to have avoided some dead ends. She realized that her mental perception network with other creatures on the sky planet, which did not have even the slightest delay or interference, might be based on some quantum principle.

The Tree of Life was of course aware of the findings of the Sky Star people in their research: quantum entanglement itself could not transmit effective information at all. However, the Tree of Life also knew that the problem of quantum entanglement not being able to transmit effective information was not unsolvable. Although the specific principles of the spiritual perception network were still in a state of partial understanding, this did not prevent the Tree of Life from trying some experiments. However, due to the scale of this experiment,

The Tree of Life had to make some minor changes to the parts of itself outside the atmosphere.

The crown of the Tree of Life, which is 100,000 kilometers high and located in space, has undergone a small change for this experiment. The crown structure of the Tree of Life, which can absorb stellar and ionizing radiation, has become a huge light panel array and energy storage device with a diameter of more than hundreds of kilometers, storing countless photons. A huge number of entangled particle pairs are arranged in it, and then information is sent and received directly by observing the spin change state of a large number of particles.

On the other side of the planet's atmosphere, countless tree roots and nanomachines also formed a similarly huge light panel array on the ground to conduct this experiment and test to verify the hypothesis of the Tree of Life.

After the test began, the Tree of Life activated a portion of the photons in the canopy area to change their spin mode, and on the other side, it also instantly received such a range of anti-spin mode information.

This causes a large number of photons to become entangled, just like ancient letters, allowing for direct transmission of text messages.

The success of this experiment was based on the Tree of Life's planetary-level energy output and material manipulation capabilities. Although it consumed a lot of resources, the Tree of Life was able to figure out the general operating principles of the spiritual perception network it created to a certain extent. It also unexpectedly gained a superluminal communication method that might be useful in the future. Although this superluminal communication method looks quite crude, its principle is full of miracles. It almost requires the energy output of the entire planet to drive the information transmission of such a superluminal communication device.

After figuring out the spiritual perception network between itself and the Sky Aliens, based on a quantum entanglement principle that it itself did not understand how to transmit effective information, the Tree of Life did not hide this information from the Sky Aliens. Instead, it shared this information and the entire experimental process with all the Sky Aliens. The Tree of Life hopes that the Sky Aliens can help it understand the true specific principles of the spiritual perception network in the future through long-term research.

Although due to the special existence of the Tree of Life, the Sky Star civilization had accidentally acquired a superluminal communication technology that it still only partially understood before conducting large-scale space exploration, this was ultimately just a small episode. Although this superluminal communication capability will have a huge impact on the future development of the Sky Star civilization, at least at this time the Sky Star people cannot use it for the time being.

On the other hand, great progress has been made in the research on the nanomachines that exist naturally in the Sky Star ecosystem. Although such nanomachines are still unable to be reproduced, the Sky Star people have finally figured out where the energy for the most microscopic single unit of this nanomachine to replicate itself comes from. Within the microscopic nanounit with a diameter of only 2nm, there is a cold fusion reactor that is only a few picometers in size. It is this cold fusion reactor of only a few picometers in size that drives the nanomachines all over the planet, constantly replicating themselves and arbitrarily modifying the microscopic structure of matter at the molecular level, providing a large amount of material productivity for the Sky Star civilization.

After discovering that the nanomachine in his body actually contained a cold fusion reactor only a few picometers in size, the Sky Alien realized that perhaps this nanomachine, the Tree of Life and himself might have been created by some kind of artificial means.

After realizing that the Tree of Life is a planet-sized life with self-awareness, the Sky Alien people also obtained a lot of Tree of Life through long-term communication with the Tree of Life. Since the emergence of self-awareness, they have long-term observation records of this planet and the surrounding universe. These emerging geological evolution records and astronomical records obtained from the Tree of Life, which are more than one billion years long, further verified the hypothesis that the Tree of Life and nanomachines were artificially created.

首先便是，天空星所在星系自古以来的奇怪天体运行结构，天空星所在的星系总计有15个环绕恒星运行的行星，这15个天体构成了近乎完美的拉普拉斯轨道共振，从外到内，15颗行星的共振比例是1：2：4：8：16：32：64：128：256：512：1024：2048：4096：8192：16384，在这样的轨道共振下几乎每隔一段时间就会发生两颗行星的交汇窗口，如果仅仅只是相当精确的轨道共振的话，或许还可以解释为巧合，但存在于天空星星系附近的一个东西原本应当是必然会破坏这种完美的轨道共振效应的。

Those are two massive black holes that exist only 0.5 light-years away from the Sky Galaxy. The two black holes are rotating around each other at high speed. Both of them are high-speed rotating uncharged Kerr black holes, and both of them are quite rare without accretion disks. The gravity generated by these two Kerr black holes is enough to destroy the gravitational balance of all the planets in the sky, and even make the Sky Galaxy lose several of its outermost planets directly. It is a very likely event. However, the Sky Galaxy has maintained its perfect orbital resonance balance for billions of years, just like the gravity of the two black holes. It was as if the disturbance did not exist, and this was obviously abnormal. After comparing it with the memories of the Tree of Life over the past hundreds of millions of years, the people of Sky Star discovered this phenomenon that was completely inconsistent with their understanding of astrophysics. This phenomenon left them puzzled. They could not understand why the massive binary black hole system, which would have destroyed the gravitational balance of the celestial bodies on Sky Star and was only less than 0.5 light-years away, could coexist peacefully with the planets in the Sky Galaxy. The overly perfect orbital resonance of the 15 celestial bodies in the Sky Galaxy was also full of doubts, as if someone had deliberately done it.

The 15 planets in the Sky Galaxy are all in this state. Even the Sky People, who have lived in this environment for a long time, realize that this kind of weird orbit is absolutely abnormal in the universe.

What puzzled the Sky Star people even more were the two inner planets. The two innermost planets in the Sky Star system were solid rocky planets similar to the Earth. Originally, for a galaxy, the rocky planets close to the inner side must have relatively small mass and volume, and the gas giants and ice giants close to the outer side of the galaxy often occupy the vast majority of the mass of the planets in the entire galaxy. This also applies to the Sky Star system, which is full of doubts. However, the Sky Star people discovered an overly prominent doubt, that is, the mass and volume of these two inner planets are really unreasonably large.

As the rocky planet closest to the star in the Sky Galaxy, Planet One has a radius of more than 12119 km and a mass more than 14 times that of the star. The main components of this planet are silicon and iron, which account for more than 87 percent.

The radius of Planet No. 2 is slightly smaller, at 12100 km, but its mass is even more outrageous than the former, more than 17 times that of Sky Star, which is approaching the theoretical limit of a rocky planet.

As to why these two abnormal celestial bodies with large diameters and masses appeared inside the orbit of Sky Star, whether it was the Tree of Life or the Sky Star civilization, just like the perfect and abnormal Laplace orbital resonance ratio of the Sky Galaxy, in the eyes of the Sky Star civilization, even its own birth was full of doubts, which made them realize that perhaps there really was some advanced existence that they did not know about, which created the Tree of Life and those nanomachines on the planet, and even that their own "creator" was very likely to have used some artificial means to control and interfere with the operation of all celestial bodies in the entire galaxy for billions of years.

Finding advanced beings that may have interfered with and created the Sky Galaxy, Sky Star, the Tree of Life, and its own civilization became a goal that the Sky Star civilization later pursued quite persistently.

Chapter 117 Sky Star Lily Love Story

"So... the first Sky Alien to go into space relied on a mountain climbing passage created by the Tree of Life on its trunk, leading to a height above the planet's Karman Line? And then you discovered some of your "unique" talents in the vacuum environment of space?" Putting down the data tablet in his hand, Luoying looked at Elena who was sitting across the table.

"Well... the first group of people who reached outer space through the climbing tunnel on the trunk of the Tree of Life, which is as high as a space elevator, were fully prepared to withstand the cold vacuum of outer space, including appropriate personal protective equipment, spacesuits, oxygen tanks, and other equipment. However, as the altitude continued to increase and the atmosphere became increasingly thinner, the members of that climbing expedition did not feel any discomfort, as if their bodies did not suffer the normal symptoms of hypoxia caused by the increasingly thin atmosphere."

"It wasn't until they reached an altitude where there was no atmosphere at all that the expedition team felt any discomfort. All of their bodily functions continued to function normally."

"So... this is how you discovered that you can actually survive in a vacuum for a period of time?" Luo Ying, whose worldview was severely shocked, rubbed his temples and asked Elena across the table with his eyes closed.

"That's not entirely true. If we were to stay in a vacuum without any protection, even we would feel very uncomfortable. Staying in the space environment without any protection for a short time is fine, but it would cause problems for a long time."

"Then let me ask you first, how short is this so-called...short time?" Luo Ying asked the elf girl opposite him with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Probably a few hours... Any longer, and the nanomachines in our bodies will passively activate in the extreme environment and start releasing heat. The waste heat generated by operating in a vacuum isn't easy to dissipate, and if too much waste heat accumulates in the body, we'll feel very uncomfortable."

"A few hours? That's outrageous enough, right? This is staying in space without any protection at all? A natural body that hasn't been artificially modified in any way can stay in space for several hours without any protection and still be safe and sound. Aren't your life forms too absurd?"

"If it was a mechanical body that had been artificially modified and had such strong adaptability, I could understand it, but you..."

"Assuming your bodies haven't been artificially modified, 3000 roentgen-level radioactive radiation is like sunlight to you. Your bodies can withstand the vacuum environment of space, and you have the ability to regenerate broken limbs stronger than a gecko's tail. You won't die even if a bullet hole is made in your head or heart. Your bones are hundreds of times stronger than humans. Any individual's grip strength can reach 500 kilograms, and you can easily lift things that are more than 200 times your own weight. You are born with a spiritual perception network like Gestalt consciousness. I will never believe that your life form can evolve naturally." Looking at the information about the Sky Aliens given to him by Elena, Luo Ying, whose worldviews were shattered, was trying to reconstruct his own worldview.

"To be honest... our entire species doesn't actually believe we're the product of natural evolution... after all... there are too many doubts."

"Is this why you have been so obsessed with searching for extraterrestrial life for so long? And your aerospace technology... I... don't know how to evaluate it?" Luo Ying leaned back on the sofa in the room. The sofa, made of some kind of intelligent deformable material, immediately changed into the shape that best suited Luo Ying's body structure according to his body.

At this time, Luoyang was staying in the observation room of a research facility on Sky Star. Elena was chatting with him. Outside the observation room, several young-looking elf women in white coats and mermaid women with scales and fish-fin-like structures on their bodies were chatting.

Luo Ying also knew that in this automated research facility that seemed to have almost no people, apart from these few "people", almost all the people on Sky Star were watching him in the observation room through cameras, sensors or mental perception networks.

On the way to this research facility, Luo Ying saw many things outside that were beyond his imagination. Sitting in an unmanned automatic vehicle, Luo Ying saw a city full of futuristic technology, and a giant planetary ring structure in the sky that was above the clouds and even blocked some of the sunlight.

For some reason, Luo Ying now seemed to be able to vaguely sense an emotion and gaze that did not belong to her, as if she was being watched 360 degrees in a completely transparent manner by a large group of extremely curious and nosy onlookers.

"Elena, I feel a little uncomfortable..." Luoying raised his right hand and pressed it on his closed double eyelids and said to Elena.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Elena asked immediately with concern. She didn't want this alien life from another universe, which was discovered for the first time in the history of Sky Star, to encounter any accidents in her hands.

"I felt as if someone was looking at me, and I also felt a strange emotion from the vague gaze."

"Are you saying that everyone is watching your behavior through the mental perception network and the cameras in the room, and that it makes you uncomfortable?"

"Not really... I don't mind being watched by a bunch of cameras and sensors. After all, if there's a bunch of curious pretty girls on the other side of the screen, it's not something I can't accept."

"It's mainly because of the look in his eyes that makes me feel a little uncomfortable, as if I were some kind of prey."

"Emotion? Are you saying that you can sense an inexplicable emotion in everyone's gaze?" Elena suddenly stood up, put her hands on the table, and asked Luoying excitedly.

"Huh? Well... it seems like I can indeed feel some kind of emotion in those eyes looking at me." Looking at Elena with shining eyes towards him, Luo Ying suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Xiao You?!"

"In...just now, I heard her. She said she could sense the emotions in people's eyes? That's interesting...in other words..."

"Uh...what does that mean?" Luoyang looked at the two artificial intelligence assistants Xiao You and Elena who were communicating, feeling confused.

"That is to say, you can now sense the existence of our mental network to a certain extent. At least you can sense the emotions of most of us individuals from it." After exchanging some information with Elena, Xiao You explained to Miss Luoying beside him.

"So what does this... mean?"

"This means... you are gradually integrating into our mental perception network. I'm scanning your brain and body now and haven't found any signs of damage during the process of connecting to the mental network."

"You know, all the experiments we have done in the past thousands of years have ended in failure. Although the brains of female animal individuals on Sky Star can relatively safely access the spiritual perception network of Sky Star people, who are intelligent species on Sky Star, they can only receive some very simple information, and this information cannot exceed the scope of animal understanding. If these experiments on female animal individuals have achieved quite a few results, then all our experiments on all male individuals have completely failed. The moment all male animal individuals accessed the spiritual network, their brains were directly burned by the huge amount of information pouring in, which directly led to the death of the male animal individuals serving as experimental subjects on the spot. Except for the Sky Star people and the female animal individuals on Sky Star, this is the first time I have seen an alien from another universe who can begin to integrate into our spiritual perception network with almost no obstacles. This is definitely a big discovery." Elena said happily.

"Integrate into your spiritual network?"

"That's right. And based on my judgment, your current process should be irreversible. You will most likely become a member of our civilization's spiritual perception network."

"Wait... shouldn't I be considered an outsider with almost no connection to your civilization? Why am I uncontrollably connected to your mental network?"

"That's a very good question... We're also quite curious. Normally, as a species outside of Sky Star, your inner being is completely different from the people of Sky Star. But for some reason, you've inexplicably begun an irreversible process of integrating into a spiritual perception network that's completely different from your own life form. Currently, your ability to perceive this network is very fragile, and at most you can only sense other people's emotions, unable to perceive or convey more complex information."

"But this is still quite interesting... After all, we never thought that an alien life form from a universe with completely different physical constants would be able to adapt and match with our mental perception network and nanomachines." Xiao You sighed as he looked at Elena who was dancing with joy, and explained to Luo Ying who looked puzzled.

"For a long time, the only things this spiritual perception network could match were the various female creatures within the Sky Star ecosystem. This definitely seems like an interesting and important discovery."

"Wait... I still don't quite understand..." Luo Ying was a little at a loss. In this completely unfamiliar environment, for some reason, Luo Ying felt quite insecure. It was not only because of the gazes from the people around her that seemed to want to eat her up, but also because the civilization she was in was full of all kinds of strange and suspicious points.

"Simply put... one of the important criteria we use to judge one's own kind is the mental perception network. Apparently... for some reasons that are still unclear, you are becoming one of us."

Xiao You, the AI ​​assistant floating beside the holographic projection, calmly explained to Luo Ying.

"Ah?" Luo Ying was completely stunned after hearing this answer.

At the North Pole of Sky Star, the Tree of Life showed great interest and concern in the research facility at its feet, because Miss Luoying was staying there. The scientists on Sky Star and the Tree of Life itself were still checking and studying Luoying's memories frame by frame, as well as the alien civilization in her memory that was completely unfamiliar to Sky Star.

For the Sky Alien Society and the Tree of Life, the digitized brain memories they obtained from Luoying contained both surprises and disappointments. The surprise was that extraterrestrial intelligent life did exist, but the disappointment was that hundreds of countries and forces had split out from a small planet where Luoying came from. These hundreds of countries and entities occupied different regions and local areas of the planet and killed each other for a little bit of resources, fighting openly and secretly, causing countless chaos.

What surprised the Sky Star society even more was Luo Ying's understanding of their own civilization's history in her memories. If the entire civilization's history were evaluated from the perspective of the Tree of Life and the Sky Star people, they would mercilessly describe it as "chaotic and irrational."

In Luoying's carefully examined memories, those wars, deaths, massacres, plagues, famines, countless natural and man-made disasters, and the chaotic and aimless development process of civilization that occurred in the history of the civilization called human beings, all the Sky Star people who were carefully studying this memory were shocked. From the perspective of the Sky Star people, they really couldn't understand everything that happened on the planet called Earth. They couldn't understand why the same intelligent creatures born on the same planet could kill each other for thousands of years, and sometimes this killing was just because of some strange group narratives. The three intelligent species on Sky Star with completely different life structures and living environments have never had any conflicts since their birth. They couldn't understand why humans, whose biological structure and morphology were so small that they could almost be ignored, would choose to raise the butcher knife against each other just because the other party's ideas or skin color were different from their own. In the eyes of the Sky Star people, this was a completely unreasonable behavior.

On Sky Star, even though the three races have very different physical structures, their spiritual perception networks can be connected without obstacles. After the different races came into contact across geographical barriers, there has never been any conflict or discord, and the society has achieved perfect integration with each other in a short period of time. Even a large number of love fruits have been born among the three races. For example, there was a famous mermaid named Elaine in the history of Sky Star. She had a spark of love with a dozen cat girls and elf women, and eventually gave birth to a series of love fruits - Elaine formed a family with the dozen cat girls and elf women, and married each other. She also gave birth to children for several of them, and several cat people and elves in her family also developed feelings and love for each other, and also regarded each other as partners. Several cat people and elf women in the family also had several children as the fruits of everyone's love.

To this day, the mermaid named Elaine and her family relationship are still regarded as role models by the vast majority of Sky Star people. Even Anna, Elena's sister, regards the legendary Miss Elaine as her idol.

.........

"Wow... Is this Miss Elaine of yours the queen of ten thousand concubines in her harem?" Luo Ying sighed as she looked at the relevant information projected on the holographic display in her hand.

"Miss Elaine is my sister's idol... Her family relationship is a role model for the entire Sky Star society, and everyone envies her. It's a pity that I don't have such good physical strength, otherwise I would also find many beautiful cat girls and elf girls, as well as mermaid girls as girlfriends!" Elena said, licking her lips.

"Uh... I think our moral concepts and social cognition may be... different." Looking at Elena who was a little lost in thought across from him, Luo Ying said with some embarrassment.

"Besides, can your body really handle having so many partners?"

"I used to have a friend named Aze. He was almost drained by the other party when he was with just one girl. If there were more, wouldn't you worry about dying of dehydration?"

"It's definitely a bit tiring. The famous Miss Elaine was able to maintain so many partners for such a long time because she's one of the best in the entire Sky Star society in terms of physical strength."

"Also, Miss Elaine's partner will share each other's physical needs, relieving Miss Elaine's own stress."

"About this... I have a more special name for it... We like to call it knotted wings..." Luo Ying said, hiding her slightly blushing face.

"Knotted wings... We have a similar way of describing it here."

"But in the case of Miss Elaine... just using wings to tie the knot doesn't seem quite accurate. Her partners are almost tangled up like a ball of yarn... To be more precise, perhaps we should say your circle is really messy." Luo Ying looked at the data board and the information on the holographic display in his hand, and deeply felt that his three views had been severely impacted again.
