#876 - Chapter 876 Death is Impossible
Nata fell silent after hearing Dongfang Chen's response.
From a human perspective, this behavior seemed justifiable.
"Does this mean that the crab-shaped spacecraft are going to the moon for the same reason?" Monka asked.
"Possibly," Dongfang Chen Er nodded in response.
Energy has always been the biggest obstacle to the progress of civilization.
As an energy source more advanced than nuclear energy, zhen crystal would inevitably be contested by various advanced civilizations.
Perhaps this Hive came across the wormhole from afar not simply out of kindness. The Earth Core Civilization was able to find such reinforcements, possibly at the cost of sacrificing the silicon-based civilization.
Dongfang Chen Er now understood why He Jinghui, representing the Earth Core Civilization, had jumped out as soon as he planned to attack the moon.
This was their bargaining chip, and they could not sit idly by and watch Dongfang Chen destroy it.
Qin Lao's garrison on the moon confronted the crab-shaped spacecraft for six hours.
What Nata didn't know was that during those six hours, not nothing had happened.
During this time, the Queen in the Hive was repeatedly negotiating with Qin Lao.
Both sides' demands were very clear:
Qin Lao hoped that the other side would not destroy the core master control on Blue Star.
And the Queen hoped that Qin Lao would not detonate the Four-Phase Bomb.
As far as Qin Lao was concerned, he didn't know what the core master control on Blue Star was. The order from the Dragon Kingdom simply said so, and he was only following instructions.
In fact, this core master control was the fuse that Dongfang Chen Er had speculated about.
This deal was easy to reach.
Because for the Queen, the fuse had no value. And for Qin Lao, whether or not to give up control of the moon didn't matter at all.
Using something of no value to exchange for something most important to oneself, this deal was naturally very worthwhile.
The reason why this negotiation lasted for several hours was because Qin Lao had no decision-making power and needed to report the situation and then wait for the returned instructions.
The Queen also needed time to allow the Earth Core Civilization to withdraw from underground.
Furthermore, there was also a trust issue.
The Dragon Kingdom's super artificial intelligence was worried that during the transaction, the Earth Core Civilization would suddenly destroy the fuse. This was very likely, after all, the two sides already had 1 billion years of animosity, which was not so easy to resolve.
In the end, the result of the two sides' discussion was that the Earth Core Civilization would withdraw first, and then the Hive would head to the moon's orbit.
Afterward, Qin Lao would dismantle the Four-Phase Bomb and return to Blue Star.
In this way, Blue Star would be completely controlled by humans, and after the Hive collected the silicon-based creatures, it could directly evacuate.
In this way, both sides would have nothing to worry about.
The Queen was not afraid of humans going back on their word, because the price of going back on their word was something humans could not afford.
Six hours later, the Earth Core Civilization had completely withdrawn from the Earth Core World. The Hive flew towards the moon.
"Dad, the Hive is moving."
"It seems that the Earth Core Civilization has completely withdrawn," Nata said.
"Hard to say," Dongfang Chen Er frowned.
"Hard to say? Why?" Nata asked.
In Nata's opinion, if the Earth Core Civilization had not completely withdrawn, the Hive would not be able to leave.
"What if some species are unwilling to withdraw, or are not allowed to withdraw?" Dongfang Chen Er asked in return.
"Unwilling to withdraw?" Nata was stunned.
He pondered slightly and then understood, asking:
"Are you saying that some species may carry out suicide attacks?"
"Yes! Seven years ago, I discovered a small world in the North Siberian region. Inside, there existed a silicon-based mosquito civilization that was about to become extinct. They gathered the strength of their entire race and condensed three seeds. But unexpectedly, those three seeds were actually just a well-packaged high-yield nuclear bomb."
"This silicon-based giant mosquito civilization, at the cost of sacrificing the entire race, wanted to retaliate against humans. Do you think that such a civilization could not exist in the Earth Core World?" Dongfang Chen Er said.
Nata did not answer.
This possibility not only existed, but was also extremely high.
Just based on this photo provided by Monka, one could reflect the persecution that humans had once inflicted on other civilizations.
With such deep hatred, any extreme act of revenge was possible.
"If that's the case, then isn't this unsolvable?" Monka asked.
"This problem is inherently unsolvable. If it were you, after experiencing such suffering, how could you forgive your enemies?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
"Never!" Monka crossed his arms and answered without hesitation.
"Yes! Never," Dongfang Chen Er sighed.
Originally, there were only two types of relationships between different species: either cooperation and symbiosis, or the law of the jungle.
The victor is the hunter, and the loser is the meat paste.
But this hatred is not because of being defeated, but because of being ravaged.
Human greed has lost its reverence for life.
