My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 1063 - 631: To the Capable Go the Spoils
Meng Lang couldn't help but marvel again at the wonders of cosmic life forms.
The body is still on the way, let's send a brain over first...
Though it's a parasitic life form that takes over the nest, it truly takes care of its host.
Coordination of nerves, acting as an advisor, regulating the digestive system, these are just the basics, then there's scouting and clearing hazardous species, ensuring safe delivery...
Even the reproduction process is a one-stop service with full care.
For the Starry Sky Beast, this "brain" multitasks, practically a top-tier nanny.
Then, unfortunately, humans were categorized by them as a "dangerous species"...
To put it into perspective, Earth's civilization is currently in a stage that belongs to the "tech explosion period."
Once humans shifted from understanding natural laws to scientific exploration, in just a hundred years, they moved from the junior gunpowder age to the electrification era, even reaching the threshold of interstellar civilization.
At the same time, modern scientific methods such as experimental science and systematic research greatly enhanced R&D efficiency.
Both in fundamental disciplines and technological applications, there has been a period of explosive achievements.
According to statistics, 90% of human scientific knowledge was acquired in the 30 years following World War II, and the knowledge updating cycle is continuously shortening.
The achievements of technological development in the past century even surpass the sum of the previous thousands of years!
This speed of development is astonishing, even on a cosmic scale.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the inherently contradictory nature of humans as a species: both fearing death and being warlike, both aggressive and peace-loving.
War is the most terrifying accelerator of civilization's progress!
World War I, World War II, the Cold War... Human modern history can be said to be a history of wars!
At this moment, there are still almost 25 years until the arrival of the "seed" in 2043, and even longer before the "seed" hatches, at least under normal circumstances, Earth won't crack open until 2063.
In extreme cases, humans might even have 45 years of development time.
Under such an exaggerated pace of technological progress, coupled with the potential outbursts of civilization in dire situations, it's hard to predict how far human technology will advance, or whether it will threaten the Starry Sky Beast's "hatching" process.
Such a human civilization clearly sits right on the edge of their psychological defense line.
If left unchecked, humans might pose a future threat to their "host."
But if controlled, there's the fear of overly provoking humans into a breakout...
It's important to know that this Star Giant Beast seed is their reliance on returning to the cosmos, even a bridge to the Divine Race civilization.
If something goes wrong, the vast herd of Starry Sky Beasts might not attempt to "lay eggs" on Earth again, and even if they try a second time, the arrival time of a second seed may take a long while.
By then, humans might have already broken free from Earth and developed into an interstellar civilization.
At that point, whether the second seed comes to hatch or serves as research material, is hard to determine...
In a sense, this "nest" is also a desperate battle against the tide!
So, even a slight threat would be attempted to be nipped in the bud!
Isn't it common to sterilize and inspect before human childbirth to minimize any potential risk?
To the Starry Sky Beasts, aren't humans just a type of "harmful bacteria"?
This is also why, as the seed's arrival nears, the "nest" creates various natural and human disasters to weaken humanity.
Moreover, looking at the timing of major past events, they are clearly watching the clock!
What they probably want is for humans to be too preoccupied after the seed arrives, yet not enter a wartime state and explode technologically.
So, even a Third World War is just a back-up option among "many ways humans could die" and seldom appears in their biography.
Because it is indeed a double-edged sword.
After all, no one knows what kind of cultural afterglow the desperate humans entering a wartime state will explode into...
Clearly, while they underestimate humans strategically, they take humans quite seriously tactically.
They have a clear understanding of the potential "danger" humans as a species might pose!
So the question arises, if Earth is deemed dangerous, why don't they choose other uninhabited celestial bodies in the Solar System?
Firstly, it's the hatching environment, according to the data, Earth is an optimal hatching ground for the Star Giant Beast.
The unique aspect of Earth is its hot iron-nickel core, a natural "incubator" formed by the radioactive decay and accretion process during planetary formation.
The core temperatures and environments of other planets in the Solar System differ significantly from Earth's.
Even Mars, whose environment is most similar to Earth's, has a cooled core and its geological activity has nearly halted, which doesn't meet the hatching conditions for the Star Giant Beast.
Secondly, it's due to human civilization as well.
After all, if Earth isn't safe, would other planets be safe?
Even if other planets can barely serve as hatching grounds, without interference from the Starry Sky Beast, when humans rush out of their home planet and realize that a Star Giant Beast is actually being nurtured in the celestial bodies around them, their first reaction would surely be to eliminate the threat!
Because far from Earth, humans would be even more reckless in using weapons of mass destruction, and might even develop planet-destroying weapons.
In that case, the opponents are truly delivering materials to human civilization from thousands of miles away...
Originally, it should be handled with poise, but then it becomes a panicked scramble...
"It seems the key to solving the problem isn't the Starry Sky Beast, but rather lies in the 'nest'..."
Meng Lang pondered, stroking his chin.
As a neuro-parasitic life form, the Divine Race and Starry Sky Beast are not "blood brothers"; they are foreign species that parasitize later.
Thus, it's impossible to hatch from the same "embryo" as the Starry Sky Beast offspring.
That is to say, the Starry Sky Beast's "seed," or "egg," is still "pure" at this moment.
And the "nest" needs to occupy the place after the Star Beast offspring hatches.
Just like controlling humanity's Clan, it enters the "cockpit" to take over the Starry Sky Beast's nervous system and completely controls this "biological mother ship"...
Ultimately, the "nest" is the highest commander of these foreign species, and the "brain" of the Starry Sky Beast after hatching!
Think about it now, it's no wonder in Meng Xiaolang's Travelogue, when he tried to communicate with the Starry Sky Beast in the Earth's core, he received no response.
Perhaps at this moment, the Starry Sky Beast is still in a "mindless" low-intelligence stage, not even reaching "Chinese level eight"?
I was simply playing music to a bull...
And as the highest commander, the reason the nest is so hidden is naturally out of fear of being "decapitated" by humans!
In so many lifetimes, whether the opponent is on the brink of collapse or holding an absolute advantage, even when the Starry Sky Beast young has been attacked, it still has never appeared.
Leading him to know nothing about its existence and appearance, other than the fact that it constantly patrols the vast ocean depths, occasionally remote-controlling "Divine Race sub-bodies".
This "nest" truly understands the essence of the "endurance flow," never exposing itself if it can avoid it, without even the interest to talk trash while stepping on its own corpse.
It has elevated the Ninja Turtle's skill to the extreme!
Meng Lang wondered if the other party had watched human movies...
Like Independence Day, Galaxy Quest, Ender's Game...
Because it knows humans prefer using "decapitation" tactics when dealing with aliens, it's so cautious?
Even when at a disadvantage in Millennium Solitude, it used it on itself, being countered by its own tactics...
This mind... it clearly has seriously studied the human mindset...
But the good news is, since the other side is so careful, it instead suggests that the "nest" itself might not have as strong protection as the "seed".
It falls within the category where human weapons can "threaten" its safety...
Looking at the information in hand, Meng Lang's gaze became profound.
This time's Starry Sky Beast Breeding Guide may not be cutting-edge technology, but it allows them to deeply understand the characteristics of this cosmic creature.
From now on, the Divine Race has no secrets left in front of him!
Moreover...
"Breeding, huh..." Meng Lang chewed on these two words.
The Starry Sky Beast not only has strong defense, capable of traversing the galaxy, but crucially, it also contains a "whale fall environment" suitable for carbon-based life forms to survive...
Looking again at that large-scale migrating Starry Sky Beast community...
These are not Starry Sky Beasts, but clearly planet-scale biological warships with their own ecosystems!
By the standards of a junior interstellar civilization just flying out of the home planet.
How much resource, how long does it take to build a million-kilometer planet-class warship?
A hundred years or a thousand years? But there are hundreds to thousands of them light-years away...
Can control by the Divine Race, but humans cannot?
Only the capable occupy the cosmic wonders!
If his "Pandora Plan" succeeds, it wouldn't just resolve the huge threat of the Divine Race.
It might also allow humans to suddenly gain a planet-class biological warship, taking giant strides into a medium...
Hmm... if nothing else, into the ranks of high junior interstellar civilizations...
Think a little further.
If Earth civilization could directly gain a planet-class fleet by using the Starry Sky Beast's "migration"?
