Chapter 7 Source of Life Chapter VII Talks
At night, the breeze is cooler.
Xu Jingming sat in the courtyard and looked at the light curtain. On the light curtain were densely packed universal characters of the universe and a large number of formulas. Xu Jingming was concentrating on it. Xu Lixing, who was standing next to him, took a look and felt a headache: "Dad, what are you looking at? I don't understand it at all."
"In layman's terms, it is the theoretical knowledge of space-time wormholes," Xu Jingming introduced.
"I understand this." Xu Lixing nodded. "The spacecraft that can travel long distances in the universe all have the ability to travel through wormholes. Through wormholes, they can travel from one spacetime to another distant spacetime in a very short time. But Dad, I don't understand any of these formulas you're looking at."
"These are some formulas for the folding of space-time." Xu Jingming introduced, "This formula is very simple, just like when the waves are raised, the waves are big and small, and there are shallow layers..."
"Don't say it, I'm not interested." Xu Lixing stopped him immediately.
Xu Jingming was stunned.
Alas, there is no one to share with.
"Dad, if you learn these, you can create a space-time wormhole with your bare hands?" Xu Lixing was very interested in this. "I heard that source life can manipulate source power and is almost omnipotent."
“You have to learn it first.”
Xu Jingming smiled and said, "Your father is a novice and cannot create a space-time wormhole by himself. I must understand every step of the formation of a space-time wormhole and the principles behind the steps before I can use the source power to perform it."
"It looks like it's very difficult." Xu Lixing stood up, "I won't bother Dad anymore."
Xu Jingming smiled and continued to learn these theoretical knowledge.
"It is very simple to upgrade a ninth-order source life to a tenth-order source life. All you need to do is use your mind to manipulate the source force and construct a basic 'tenth-order source life force structure unit'. As long as you can successfully construct one, you can then replicate and grow it. Soon, the entire body can be replaced successfully, and you can completely enter the tenth-order source life level."
"A tenth-order source force structural unit."
Xu Jingming knew very well that although there seemed to be only one threshold, it actually concealed many difficulties.
"When I first constructed the ninth-order source force structure unit, after repeated attempts in the virtual world, it took me twelve minutes in reality." Xu Jingming thought, "But the difficulty of the tenth order is a qualitative change."
Ninth-level source life, lifespan of 30,000 years.
The life span of a tenth-order source life is 100,000 years! This is also the maximum life span below the high-dimensional life. The difference between the tenth and ninth order can be seen from the life span.
"The tenth-order source life is already the most perfect life form in the entire universe. Its source force structure unit, in a sense... is already the most perfect in the universe and time and space!" Xu Jingming also felt pressured.
This is the micro-aspect construction.
"First, the mental strength must be strong enough, otherwise it will not be possible to continue the entire construction process."
"Second, you must fully understand the principles behind the source force structural units so that you can build them with greater ease and confidence."
"According to the study materials of Yuanchu Research Institute, the difficulty of the tenth-order source force structure unit is broken down into different stages." Xu Jingming thought, "Tenth-order source life like the Sky Python Evolution Method needs to master six source force models. Mastering these six source force models... represents the knowledge of the tenth-order source force structure unit, the foundation is sufficient."
"There are six source force models. The first one is the space-time wormhole model."
The space-time wormhole model is already the simplest.
"Take your time."
Xu Jingming knew very well that he couldn't be impatient.
Although his knowledge accumulation was average, after becoming a source life, his brain worked very fast, and his learning speed was naturally much faster. He was constantly absorbing all kinds of knowledge.
…
Time passed by minute by minute and the night grew deeper.
After only a few hours of study and research, Xu Jingming learned more than many planetary life forms in their entire lives, but even so, it is still a long way to go to fully understand the 'space-time wormhole model'.
Wormhole travel is a seemingly common spacecraft capability, but the vast majority of elementary civilizations in the universe do not have this knowledge, which shows how difficult it is.
"Jingming." Li Miaomiao walked out of the house.
Xu Jingming looked up at his wife.
"Director Zhou contacted us and said that the Black Moon Civilization delegation has arrived." Li Miaomiao said.
"The Black Moon Civilization Mission?" Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "I know. They sent me a message in advance."
When the Black Moon Mission entered the solar system, he had already grasped their every move.
"The Blue Star Civilization has received them and arranged for them to stay and rest." Li Miaomiao said, "The Black Moon Civilization has hope and is visiting you, Jingming."
"Visiting me?"
Xu Jingming thought about it and nodded, "Yes, we need to meet. How about this, let's arrange a place to meet in Binhai City."
Li Miaomiao nodded: "Okay, I'll tell Director Zhou right away, when is the best time to meet?"
"Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock." Xu Jingming said.
…
The next afternoon, in Binhai City , security was already tight outside the State Guesthouse.
In the lounge of the State Guesthouse, many members of the Black Moon Civilization delegation were there, and some officials from the Blue Star Civilization were also chatting with them. Everyone was talking in a relaxed and happy manner. They only occasionally looked towards the main road in the distance. They were all waiting, waiting for someone...
"Someone is coming."
"arrive."
The members of the Black Moon Civilization delegation and the officials of the Blue Star Civilization were all shocked and looked from afar.
I saw that the gate in the distance had been opened for a long time, and guards were standing on both sides.
A man with short black hair walked in, followed by Director Zhou.
"The Thirteenth Elder of the Black Moon Civilization has been waiting inside for a long time. Come this way." Director Zhou led the way in front. Xu Jingming nodded and walked in. He glanced at the many people in the lounge in the distance.
The officials of the Blue Star Civilization all smiled, and the members of the Black Moon Civilization delegation were even more respectful.
Xu Jingming just took a glance and continued walking inside.
In the corridor inside, there were already several people waiting. They were all representatives of other major countries of the Blue Star civilization.
"Mr. Xu."
"Finally we meet Mr. Xu." Everyone came to greet him warmly.
Xu Jingming nodded slightly and gave face to the representatives by shaking hands with each of them.
"I'm going to meet the Thirteenth Elder of the Black Moon Civilization first." Xu Jingming said, and then the door opened and Xu Jingming walked in. Director Zhou and everyone else stayed outside.
Because this meeting is not a meeting between two civilizations.
Instead, the thirteen elders of the Black Moon Civilization came to visit Xu Jingming personally.
"The Thirteen Elders of the Black Moon Civilization are the thirteen people with the highest status in the entire Black Moon Civilization. I heard that there are two Source Lifeforms among them, and the other eleven are either great scholars or possess enormous power."
"But they are so anxious to visit Mr. Xu."
"Mr. Xu is now quite prestigious in the entire Wu Gou Star Alliance."
Representatives from several major countries on Blue Star chatted in low voices and walked towards the lounge nearby. They were in the corridor just to see Xu Jingming.
…
In the conference hall.
The thirteen elders of the Black Moon Civilization stood in an orderly manner, led by two source beings, to welcome Xu Jingming's arrival.
As soon as Xu Jingming entered the conference hall, he saw this scene .
"Lord Wu Ming." The old man with long reddish-brown hair spoke with a smile.
"Finally, I meet Lord Wu Ming." Mo Lilun also said.
Wu Ming was Xu Jingming's code name in Yuanchu Research Institute! In the universe, when facing a noble person, people usually use a code name and dare not call him by his real name.
"You guys came pretty quickly." Xu Jingming didn't hesitate to walk to a chair and sat down, looking at the thirteen people, "Sit down, everyone."
If it were a guest, Xu Jingming's attitude would definitely be much better.
But the Black Moon Civilization?
Not really a guest!
The thirteen elders all trembled slightly in their hearts, and then sat down in an orderly manner.
"We were delighted to hear that Lord Wu Ming had achieved the breakthrough to become a source life form. But we soon discovered that there were some minor conflicts between our Black Moon Civilization and the Blue Star Civilization," said the old man with reddish-brown hair. "In fact, the development of the Blue Star Civilization's mineral resources was initiated by an eighth-level star life form 'Cibola' within our Black Moon Civilization, and his family member Captain Enno was in charge of the matter."
Xu Jingming nodded slightly and continued listening.
With the Blue Star Civilization's wealth of trillions of cosmic coins at the time, it was indeed not enough to attract the attention of the entire Black Moon Civilization. Only one family was pushing for this matter.
"After the conflict between Lunado and Blue Star Civilization, he directly contacted our Black Moon Civilization." The old man with reddish-brown hair said, "Our Black Moon Civilization is not strong among the human races in the entire universe. So far, it is only a primary civilization in the universe! In the face of Lunado and the threats he may bring in the future... we chose to withdraw our garrison."
"Our original intention was simply not to offend Lu Naduo and not to get involved," said the Great Elder.
"Just don't want to get involved?" Xu Jingming looked at him, "Withdrawing the garrison and isolating the Blue Star civilization, what will it eventually bring? Don't say you can't imagine it!"
The thirteen elders were silent.
Yes, they can't argue.
At their level, there are no fools, and everyone knows the consequences of isolating the Blue Star civilization at that time.
"This is our mistake." The Great Elder said.
"We also beg for your forgiveness, Lord Wu Ming." Mo Lilun also spoke.
"Elder Du Lingchen, Elder Mo Lilun." Xu Jingming looked at the two of them. "You are both source beings like me. There is no need to call me sir."
Generally, star life forms would call source life forms "Adult", which is a difference in the levels of life forms.
Or those of lower status may address those of higher status as "sir".
"No, no, no, we are different." The Great Elder did not care about his face at all, "How can we compare with Master Wu Ming?"
Mo Lilun also said : "Master Wu Ming is also very clear about the whole process. After learning that Master Wu Ming returned to Blue Star, the thirteen elders of our Black Moon Civilization rushed here as soon as possible to beg for Master Wu Ming's forgiveness. Now that Master Wu Ming has forgiven us, our Black Moon Civilization will feel at ease."
The other eleven elders all had expressions of humility on their faces.
They were all powerful figures in the Black Moon Civilization, but now they had to bow their heads.
"Because you chose to isolate yourself, pirates eventually attacked you." Xu Jingming said coldly, "You should know what serious consequences will occur if pirates rob a weak civilization."
While screening in the mysterious place, Xu Jingming experienced hundreds of life difficulties, and encountered the terrible scene of the Blue Star civilization being plundered by star pirates.
"Yes." The thirteen elders all had a headache.
"We are willing to pay the price and hope to be forgiven by Master Wu Ming." Great Elder Du Lingchen said solemnly.
Xu Jingming didn't say anything, just listened.
"First of all, anyone who promotes the development of Blue Star civilization will be punished. This includes Sibola's family, Captain Enno and many other key figures." said the Great Elder.
Xu Jingming, listen, punishment? You can punish people of your own civilization as you wish.
"We are willing to pay 100 trillion cosmic coins and hope to be forgiven by Lord Wu Ming." The great elder Du Lingchen said respectfully.
Xu Jingming's heart moved slightly.
100 trillion universe coins?
This price is relatively high even for the Black Moon Civilization!
Although the value of an undeveloped life planet is about 100 billion universe coins, the development and construction of a life planet also requires huge costs. If the entire planet is arranged with a 'virtual host', the cost will be even higher.
Under normal circumstances, a well-built life planet is worth about 500 billion. For those with particularly luxurious construction, the price is unlimited.
100 trillion cosmic coins are enough to buy 200 well-built life-supporting planets.
You can even buy an entire galaxy territory that is poorer and more desolate.
A complete galaxy contains countless planets. Even if there are only thirty or fifty well-built life-bearing planets, it is still a complete galaxy after all, and its value is enough to reach 100 trillion.
Something like the Milky Way is worth much more.
In the universe, planets are easy to buy, but galaxies are difficult! Because each galaxy...mostly has many civilizations.
"I understand the sincerity of the Black Moon Civilization." Xu Jingming nodded, "But I think it's unnecessary."
As he said this, Xu Jingming was about to stand up.
"It is necessary." Great Elder Du Lingchen immediately stood up to stop him, "We, the Black Moon Civilization, are very sincere."
Mo Lilun also looked at Xu Jingming: "Master Wu Ming, please feel free to ask for anything you want."
Xu Jingming looked at them.
The Blue Star civilization is currently weak, so naturally, we have to take advantage of this opportunity to bite off a piece of meat.
After all, he was also bound by the laws of the Universal Human Alliance, and what he did to the Black Moon Civilization was limited. In exchange for enough benefits, it might be the best choice for the Blue Star Civilization. And it could also make the Black Moon Civilization feel distressed enough.
"If you want to be sincere, you must be sincere." Xu Jingming stretched out a finger on his left hand.
Great Elder Du Lingchen, Mo Lilun and the other eleven people looked at Xu Jingming, looking at the finger Xu Jingming extended, thinking about its meaning.
Xu Jingming stretched out five fingers of his left hand.
Du Lingchen and Mo Lilun looked at each other.
The great elder Du Lingchen immediately spoke up: "Yes, it is because we are not sincere enough. I will give you 500 trillion universe coins. I hope you can forgive me."
The other elders were all distressed. Five hundred trillion cosmic coins? This was a huge fortune. It would be difficult for the entire Black Moon Civilization to come up with this amount of money in a short period of time. They had to find a way to collect it.
But their thirteen elders still decided to give it!
To abandon five hundred trillion is merely to bleed civilization.
But if the conflict is not resolved, perhaps in 100,000 years, the territory of the Black Moon Civilization will shrink by half.
Xu Jingming looked at the Thirteenth Elder. He was not evil! He held out five fingers because the entire official Black Moon Civilization could only come up with this much. If he asked for more, the Black Moon Civilization would have to mortgage and sell off a large amount of assets.
This is also the reason why Elder Du Lingchen and others decisively agreed after Xu Jingming made the request.
Although Xu Jingming was hostile, he understood that the fundamental reason behind it was Lunado, and the Black Moon Civilization simply chose to stand on "Lunado's side" at that time.
"Okay, I see your sincerity." Xu Jingming stood up, "I will keep my promise."
When the Thirteenth Elder of the Black Moon Civilization heard this, he felt relieved.
