Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter 896

[896. Reasons for hostility]

The Supreme Protector paused after finishing speaking, with his arms behind his back and shaking his head.

“Since you asked about the research progress… let me talk about it first. I have made some preliminary discoveries. These Metro cells are extremely compatible with our creations.” The Supreme Protector said. .

“That means…” The other birdman adjutant seemed to understand something.

The Supreme Protector nodded, “It means we can take advantage of this and use the creation to form a new army of biological weapons to fight against the mother body.”

“Great! So our victory will be around the corner. The chosen son of God will live forever!”

” The chosen son of God will live forever!” Everyone said in unison.

Everyone felt infinite hope, their faces were full of joy, and their original gloomy mood was swept away.

“Don’t be too optimistic yet. As I said, there are more important things to talk about.”

The Supreme Protector paced back and forth and suddenly stopped.

She rolled her eyes, and her face suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. She said in a deep voice, “I am convinced that the mother body sent a signal for peace talks. The message was found in the remains of the defenders who attacked here.”

“What? ? It wants peace talks?”

Everyone was taken aback and stared at the Supreme Protector, waiting for the next step.

For a moment, there was silence in the hall, everyone felt incredible, and countless thoughts went through everyone’s mind.

This war with the mother body has been going on for hundreds of years. The strength of both sides is developing rapidly, but there is still no intention of compromise by either side. Even the reason for starting the war in the first place has been forgotten by everyone.

Matrix…why is it so confident that it wants to seek peace with us?

“It’s just an artificial artifact, a tool created by us! Does it think we will agree to such a request?” Yergin simply couldn’t believe that the matrix would send such a message.

“Maybe it knows… that we created Metro creatures?” a birdman said after pondering.

“It’s possible. The mother body’s intelligence network is quite weird. It must have a premonition that we have a stronger bargaining chip in our hands. It can’t eliminate us, so it’s timid!” someone said.

For such a creature that has evolved self-awareness, it is normal for it to feel threatened by death.

“Yes, it must be scared.”

“No, I don’t think it will be scared. It thinks that it is already the most powerful life form on this planet except us, and nothing can really threaten it.”

” Then I think maybe we need to change our thinking now… We can try to communicate with it and find out its real reason for negotiating…” said another adjutant.

“Are you kidding me?” A birdman adjutant next to him shook his head slightly and said in a slightly mocking tone, “Communicate? Use Thor?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed, and it was not good-looking.

Every time this sad incident is brought up, they feel sad.

At the beginning, they followed the advice of the Supreme Protector and voluntarily cut off the connection with “Thor” and removed the nerve sensing organs from their brains, and paid a heavy price for this.

After all, this is the symbol of the birdman clan with a long and glorious civilization.

Now they have abandoned tradition and cut off the spiritual connection of “Thor”. If not for survival, who would be willing to do this?

“Matrix, it’s not just a tool. Maybe we have to treat it as a self-aware individual, a new species…”

“New species?”

“No, I don’t think so. It’s just our creation The monster is out of control, so of course the owner has to take care of it. Isn’t what we are doing now just wiping its butt?” said a birdman adjutant.

“But the mother body has self-awareness, which is the self-awareness of any intelligent creature. Maybe in its eyes, we are the threat.”

“You mean, its abilities can match it to live in the world – to have a similar Civilized right to exist, it is not too much to kill all of us just to survive?” Yurkin said.

Someone snickered.

This is absolutely ridiculous!

Destroying other species in order to survive simply goes against common sense.

“Uh, no, of course not. This… I’m just talking from the perspective of intelligent creatures. Didn’t our ancestors also face the threat of huge beasts in the old world?”

This is the truth.

It is also a philosophical question.

All things grow and all things are in harmony.

Animals, plants, microorganisms and the genes they possess, as well as the complex ecosystems they form with their living environment, including all biological variations, should also be counted to constitute genetic and ecosystem diversity.

The civilization of the Birdmen lasted for thousands of generations, and they have experienced more than thirty recorded mass extinctions.

In the process of civilization development, this kind of extinction threatens not only the birdman civilization, but also causes huge damage to the entire living environment.

The birthplace of the bird people is not the current galaxy, but a more distant place in the outside world.

In nature, each species has its special role and status.

For example: a small bee-like creature was once all over the birdman’s home planet, and about 90% of crops relied on them for insect pollination.

In particular, certain oil crops and nut plants that the bird people’s ancestors relied on are highly dependent on their pollination to survive. This small creature not only supports the survival and evolution of species in nature, but also is highly dependent on them for agricultural development that is crucial to bird people.

It is said that their home planet’s harsh environment led to an overall loss of biodiversity. This small creature became extinct, resulting in unprecedented consequences.

Millions of birdmen died, and the entire species was nearly wiped out.

This trend has continued for thousands of years and has not been effectively curbed. Now the bird people’s home star has long been turned into a desolate death star.

Fortunately, by that time, they had developed extremely high technology for interstellar navigation, and thus migrating and escaping prevented the species from annihilation.

For them, the living environment depends entirely on ecological diversity.

Any living thing that interacts with each other and produces wonderful ecological reactions is a valuable resource, allowing a perfect cycle of food, production materials, fresh water resources, etc.

When a plant wilts or an animal dies, it sometimes means not just the loss of life for a single organism, but perhaps, coincidentally, the extinction of an entire species of that species.

The tragic lessons taught them awe and restraint against any biological interference.

So, does any species have a living space and a place in the world?

Even if it is born from artificial intelligence.

Soon, everyone expressed their opinions on this topic and started a heated discussion.

Obviously, such discussions are fruitless.

Everyone focused their conflicts on the question of whether the mother body could exist.

“No, the mother’s body is indeed very powerful. No one denies this. But don’t forget, our positions are completely different. It wants to destroy us!”

“Yes, can we tolerate ferocious beasts eating people?” Someone agreed. and made a questioning sound.
