Chapter 1582 Growth
This is a story from a long time ago... no, not that long ago.
We never knew that our world was alive.
At first, everyone who knew the news was shocked, and all kinds of uneasiness followed.
What will this bring? A new war? Or something else? Will this living world cause us any harm? Is it dangerous? We almost always think about the bad.
But what we didn't expect was that...the journey would just begin.
The familiar starry sky that has always accompanied our civilization has disappeared, and our world has taken us on a long journey in the void.
Why take this trip? It says nothing.
Although this world is alive, it never communicates with us, but we are trying to communicate with it in various ways.
Although it has lost its star, this world miraculously has not lost its light and heat, and we are still continuing to develop here.
But we soon ran into problems, because there was no place to explore nearby, and the world's original resources were constantly being consumed, which caused some... obstacles to our development.
Until at some point, a group of great researchers reached deep underground and claimed to have found a 'seed'.
This seed was called the seed of the world, and it was said that it could 'plant' a new world. Later, the group of researchers gave it a more...popular name.
Next... the journey of the world continues, it continues to move in the void, and we can see different starry skies every day.
At some point, it suddenly stopped, and it came to a stop...in a place filled with gravel.
This place is very large, with countless dense gravels, which represents a huge space for exploration and countless opportunities.
We moved quickly, we took a lot of resources from the gravel area and built some colonies on some stable stones.
However, our world is getting ready to start again, and every time it moves there are some 'precursors' that we can detect.
So, a small part of us decided to stay, but most of us decided to stay in the original world and did not want to stay in this rubble.
But we decided to stay and develop our civilization in this place with countless resources and possibilities. Moreover, we are not separated forever. We already have a new way of communication. Even if the world leaves... we can continue to maintain it. connection.
After watching our world leave, we began to develop here.
However, what gives us the confidence to develop here is because of... them.
The team of researchers who originally discovered this seed have also joined our development team. They are all top scholars. With these guys here, we are very confident.
At first, seeds were not used, and our colony was mainly built on some stones, but soon we encountered various problems... We found that the stones here were not 'stable' at all.
They are always bumping into each other or flipping over, and while some are stable for a long time, they don't last forever.
After destroying one of the larger colonies in a collision, we started to think about various options, including pushing some rocks far away, living directly in the ship, or farther away from the rubble area. The idea of building a space station in a distant place.
These were good ideas, but our leadership team decided to do something that everyone thought at the time was...unreliable.
That is, planting the ‘seed of the world’.
Although this seed has such a name, everyone doubts whether it is a real world seed, and even if it can really... grow into a world, how long will it take?
Despite all the doubts, the leadership team insisted on executing it, so we had no choice but to follow it.
At first, we thought we were going to place the seeds of this world at a suitable location around the nearby star - 'Alpha'.
But they said they were going to drop this seed in the center of the gravel area.
And, they really did just that.
But what we didn't expect was that something strange happened. In a short period of time, the seed started to grow like crazy.
It looks like an ever-growing plant, getting bigger with each passing day and night. It coils around and devours the surrounding gravel, as if grinding them up to use them as nutrients.
Therefore, all kinds of things in this world have a name "Zanke", which comes from the story of Zanke.
In fact, I think it is more appropriate to call it Magic Bean, but everyone calls it Zank, so I just called it that.
And this is a story more incredible than a fairy tale. It was originally just a... seed with a diameter of about ten meters. After a short period of time, it became more than ten kilometers long.
But it doesn't grow out of thin air. It has been devouring the surrounding rocks, seemingly as food. According to a member of the leadership team, this 'Zanke' is part of our original world. It can be said to be... …child.
Therefore, when Zank grows up, our world will also provide it with nutrients through some special methods.
This caused it to grow at a high speed, and its branches extended into countless rocks. At this time, the leadership team... indicated that we could go up and live there.
We still wonder about this. Won't it squash our colonial buildings like rocks?
But... in the end, we established a colony on this Zanke tree. We found that buildings can be built on it very stably, and there is indeed no danger, at least for the time being.
Although some members did not want to live on it, most of the members, including me, decided to live on this magical plant.
Through the examination of the plant, we found that it is different from any living thing we have known before. In fact, we are not sure whether it is a living thing, at least not a living thing in the usual sense.
During this period, we have also maintained contact with the original world. They... almost don't believe in this plant.
It's no wonder, but by exchanging technologies with each other, we have been developing together.
But compared to them, the development here is more interesting because we encountered some creatures.
When we encounter alien creatures, our first thought is to start a war.
But instead of going to war, we became allies. (To be continued.)
