Text Chapter 1246 The Exhausted Land

Li Yao was startled, and vaguely understood what Su Changfa meant.

Su Changfa rolled his eyelids, and asked with a smirk: "Li Daoyou, if you encountered such a situation in your Flying Star Realm, how would you deal with it?"

Li Yao pondered for a moment, and said: "If it is the Flying Star Realm, it is probably led by cultivators, plus a large number of elites among ordinary people, such as martial arts experts who have practiced some kung fu, to form a 'death squad'. No matter how many sacrifices are made, crystal mines must be dug out, right?"

"After all, without crystal mines, it will be difficult to break out of your own planets and galaxies, unable to develop outward, and one day you will be trapped and die on the parent star!"

"The Flying Star Realm is different from the Coiling Dragon Realm mentioned by Senior Su. Our home planet 'Tieyuan Star' suffered a catastrophe five thousand years ago, and the environment has long since become extremely harsh. 'Qi Refiner', outsiders can't get close easily! Therefore, we have long since no longer have a home planet with rich resources to rely on, and we have to rely on ourselves!"

"Struggling to survive in the harsh sea of ​​stars, cultivators and ordinary people in the Flying Star Realm are not as delicate as the Coiling Dragon Realm. When they really can't survive, they will still work hard!"

"What's more, I believe that this high death rate is only temporary. When the environment of the resource planet gradually improves, the mining and smelting magic weapons gradually upgrade, and the mining experience continues to enrich, I will definitely be able to find out a set of effective methods to make the The death rate has been greatly reduced to an acceptable level."

Su Changfa smiled, and said: "It seems that your cultivation civilization in the Flying Star Realm is still on the rise, and has not yet been completely corrupted."

"The comprehension civilization in Panlong Realm is terminally ill and beyond cure!"

"Panlong people have been lying comfortably on the resource-rich mother planet for too long. The hundreds of years of carefree and happy days have already given away all the noble spirits of hard work, perseverance, aggressiveness, and sacrifice in their souls. It's all gone!"

"Ordinary people in Panlong Realm are spoiled by cultivators, and they take all the benefits brought by overdrafting the future as a matter of course, legitimate and reasonable!"

"The cultivators have also been immersed in the halo of the 'savior' for too long, and gradually lost their way amidst the cheers and worship of the masses!"

"When the harsh environment of the resource planet, as well as the hardships and dangers of mining...all the cruel truths are presented to them one by one, all ordinary people and most practitioners cannot accept it!"

"Except for a very small number of cultivators, no one is willing to go to such a place to die!"

"After all, is it ethical and moral, 'just', or heinous to exchange a flesh and blood life for a cold spar?"

"This issue sparked a protracted discussion in the Panlong civilization. The entire society was torn into two factions with opposing ideas. They became more and more dishonest. Everyone wasted precious time and energy on meaningless things. In the midst of chatting and heated debate!"

"This discussion has been going on for decades. In the past few decades, the few spar veins left on Panlong Star are still being consumed rapidly, but the Panlong people have not sent a mining ship to the resource planet!"

"Decades later, perhaps stimulated by the precarious resource cordon, the Panlong people finally reached a consensus that crystal mines must be mined, but dead people are definitely not allowed!"

"Don't talk about dead people, even a little bit of hard work is a violation of human rights and the core concept of Panlong civilization!"

"As a result, they consumed extremely precious resources and tried to establish an absolutely safe and comfortable mining system."

"In this mining system, the mining ship is as luxurious as an interstellar cruise ship, and the mining base is more comfortable than a luxury hotel. Most of the dangerous work is done by psionic puppets. As long as the interstellar miners sit in the base, they Facing the light curtain, taste the fine wine, drink Yulu, and click the cursor!"

"However, there are still not many people who are willing to mine on the resource planet, and the very few miners who are willing to work in the frontier think that they have made great sacrifices, and they are insatiably demanding to improve the salary, benefits and the quality of the working environment! "

"In the end, the salary and benefits of an interstellar miner are several times higher than that of a university professor on Panlong Star, and after a large number of spar veins are mined, they are not sent back to the parent planet first, but they are thrown into the mining base without restraint. transformation!"

"They did not improve mining efficiency, but built a large number of leisure and entertainment facilities that have nothing to do with work in the mining base. threatened with a strike."

"Hehe, you can't have both fish and bear's paws. How can there be such a good thing in the universe that allows people to easily mine crystal mines?"

"Under their reckless actions, the cost of mining and transportation has been greatly increased, even to the point where they can't make ends meet. For every ton of spar raw ore to be mined, the fuel, materials, labor costs, energy to drive psionic puppets, and spiritual puppets will be consumed. The cost of repair and maintenance of the puppet, plus the depreciation and loss of the starship, is far beyond the value of a ton of spar ore itself!"

"Such a system, of course, cannot last long. Finally, some cultivators who couldn't stand it proposed to reform it, but it was too late!"

"The miners and a part of the management on the resource planet formed a powerful trade union, turned into a huge interest group, united and bargained with the parent planet, and even extended their tentacles into the parent planet government."

"Panlong people regard high welfare and a relaxed working environment as basic human rights. The vast majority of people in the society support the mining unions, thinking that they are 'victims' who have contributed to the entire civilization and are the greatest people; in this Cultivators who grew up in such an environment are unlikely to take any coercive measures against ordinary people. Under the aggressive offensive of the mining union, they clearly have strong force, but they give in weakly and compromise time and time again!"

"Every time a cultivator backs down, the arrogance of the mining union becomes more arrogant, thinking about asking for better treatment!"

"What the miners said makes sense at first glance. The spar is excavated, mainly for cultivators to cultivate and to provide energy for magic weapons. Of course, the cultivators take the greatest benefit!"

"Since this is the case, isn't it natural to ask the cultivator to pay more for this?"

"This theory has not only been recognized by the vast majority of ordinary people, but even many foolish cultivators agree with it very much. They betrayed their own camp and became a member of the mining union!"

"In this way, this parasitic tumor in the Panlong civilization grew bigger and bigger, like a cancer, gradually sucking up the nutrients of the parent star, not only failed to solve the problem of spar depletion, but accelerated the deterioration of this problem !"

"The semi-automated mining system that uses a large number of psychic puppets also has great hidden dangers. With the continuous wear and tear of psychic puppets, invisible risks are accumulating bit by bit, and gradually reach the critical point!"

"Finally, on a resource planet called 'Blood Dragon Star', the communication between the psychic puppet and the mining base was interrupted due to the star sea storm, and the chip of the psychic puppet happened to be malfunctioning. The miners responsible for the safety inspection It was not discovered in time, and it resulted in a mine accident of unprecedented scale, in which more than 1,700 miners died!"

"This tragic accident made Panlong people once again doubt the safety and rationality of mining on the resource planet!"

"Is it really reasonable to exchange a living life for a cold spar? Is it really just?"

"If a civilization needs to be sustained by the death of ordinary people, then what value is there in such a civilization!"

"Blood crystals! What you cultivators consume are 'blood crystals' bought with the blood of ordinary people!"

"Such voices emerge endlessly in society, and they are popular in the name of freedom of speech."

"And the high compensation also brought the five insurance companies and the entire mining group to the brink of bankruptcy, causing an extremely tragic economic crisis on Panlong Star."

"The mining workers' union took the opportunity to launch an attack. All the miners returned to their home planet from the resource planet, launched a massive parade, and aimed their spearhead at the cultivation world, demanding further improvement of working conditions and safety factors. The lion opened his mouth and opened a whimsical conditions of!"

"With Panlongxing's technical level at that time, their request is wishful thinking and cannot be satisfied at all!"

"This time, the cultivator finally has no way out."

"However, even at the critical moment of life and death, the cultivators are still unwilling, unable, and afraid to take a ruthless hand against the mining union. Instead, they start from scratch and form a mining team composed entirely of cultivators. They want to rely on their own efforts, Solve the resource problem."

"How is that possible?"

"After all, the number of practitioners is very small, and most of the time mining on resource planets is simple and repetitive, unskilled and heavy work. It is a waste of life for them to go down the mine themselves!"

"In this way, the spar collection system of the Panlong civilization is barely operating with extremely low efficiency. For hundreds of years, the number of practitioners has become less and less."

"This reduction is due to two factors."

"First, Panlongxing's spar veins have been exhausted, and its spiritual energy has become thinner and thinner. Once again, it has entered a small-scale 'Age of Doom'. Of course, the number of newly awakened practitioners has plummeted!"

"Secondly, the living environment on the resource planet is extremely dangerous. Cultivators burn their souls and overdraw their lives to mine frantically. The average life expectancy is much lower than when they were on the parent planet, but the accidental casualty rate is greatly increased!"

"In addition, after devoting most of the time and energy to meaningless mining work, there is no time and energy to practice. If the realm cannot be improved, one will die and one will be lost!"

"Ordinary people don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"Because, in the struggle between the mining union and the comprehension world, the mining union has refuted the practitioners to the point of blood and blood."

"The crystal stones are dug out, mainly for the enjoyment of cultivators. Even if we ordinary people don't have crystal stones, we can still live well!"

"The vast majority of Panlong people are bewitched by such ideas, and they are not interested in everything that happens on the resource planet. Anyway, the huge family fortune left by their ancestors is enough for them to live comfortably for hundreds of years."

"For an ordinary person, a few hundred years is extremely long, and it may not be possible to see the end in this lifetime."

"But for a civilization, a few hundred years is really fleeting, fleeting!"

"In this way, after hundreds of years of tossing, the formerly splendid Panlong civilization has finally come to an end."

"The number of cultivators has fallen to the bottom, and it is no longer enough to maintain the entire spar vein collection system. All mining bases are in a state of disrepair and half-dead."

"With the exhaustion of spar resources, the transportation route between the home planet and the last resource planet was also interrupted. The Panlong people finally lost the ability to navigate, mine and transport the star sea, and lost it forever!" (unfinished to be continued.)
