Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 1254: The Land of Depletion

Li Yaohui was shocked. Hiddenly understood what Su Chang Hair meant.

Su Chang's eyelids turned and the smiley flesh didn't smile. “Li Daoyou, what would you do if you encountered this situation in the world of stars? ”

Li Yaocheng exclaimed for a moment, "If it is the world of flying stars, it is probably led by the practitioners, plus the elite among a large number of ordinary people, such as the martial arts strong who have practiced some of their skills, to form a 'death squad'. No matter how many sacrifices you make, you have to dig out the crystal mine? ”

“After all, without crystal mines, it is difficult to flush out of your planet and galaxy, unable to develop outward, and one day you will be trapped on your home planet! ”

“Unlike the Panlong Realm that Su's predecessors said, our native star" Iron Origin "was robbed by heaven 5,000 years ago. The environment has long become extremely harsh, and there are a lot of brave" gas refiners ". It is easy for outsiders to get close! So, we don't have a resource-rich home planet to rely on, and it's all up to us! ”

“Struggling to survive in the harsh star sea, the fixers and ordinary people of the flying star world are not as delicate as the Panlong Realm. When they can't live, they will still be desperate! ”

“Moreover, I believe that this high mortality rate is only temporary. After the gradual improvement of the environment of the resource planet, the gradual upgrading of extraction and smelting methods and the continuous enrichment of mining experience, we will definitely find a workable solution that will significantly reduce the mortality rate to an acceptable level. ”

Su Chang smiled and said: “In this way, the civilization of your planetary realm is still in the ascent phase, and it has not completely corrupted. ”

“Panlong's cultivation of civilization is ill, but there is no cure! ”

“The Panlong people have been comfortable on their resource-rich home planet for too long, and centuries of worry-free good days have long wiped out all their spirits of patience, perseverance, positive progress and nobility that dare to sacrifice! ”

“Ordinary people in Panlong are spoiled by the practitioners, and all the benefits of the overdraft future are treated as scriptural and earthly righteous things! ”

“And the cultivator was immersed in the halo of the Savior for too long, and gradually lost his way in the cheer and worship of the masses! ”

“When the perilous environment of the resource planet, as well as the harsh and dangerous nature of mining… all the cruel truths are presented before them one by one, it is unacceptable to all ordinary people and the vast majority of those who fix it! ”

“Nobody wants to die in a place like this except the very few who fix it! ”

“Is it ethical and ethical to trade fleshy life for cold crystals, ‘justice’, or is there no forgiveness? ”

“This issue has prolonged the general discussion in Panlong civilization. The whole society has been torn apart into two factions with opposing ideologies. It has become increasingly unproductive. All of us will consume precious time and energy in meaningless talks and heated arguments! ”

“This discussion has been going on for decades, and for decades, the few remaining crystalline veins on Panlong are still draining fast, and the Panlongans have not sent a mining vessel to the resource planet! ”

“Decades later, perhaps inspired by the precarious resource alert line, the Panlonians finally reached a reluctant consensus that crystalline mines must be exploited, but the dead can't either! ”

“Don't talk about dead people. Even if you work a little harder, it's a violation of human rights and a violation of the core philosophy of Panlong civilization! ”

“As a result, they have consumed tremendously precious resources in an attempt to establish an absolutely safe and comfortable mining system. ”

“In this mining system, mining vessels are as luxurious as star cruises, mining bases are more comfortable than luxury hotels. The vast majority of hazardous work is done by spiritual puppets. Stars miners just sit in the base, face the light screen, taste the joker, drink the jade dew, and dot the cursor! ”

“Forgive me, but few people are still willing to go mining on the resource planet, and very few miners willing to work on the frontier think they have made great sacrifices, demanding more pay, welfare and the quality of the work environment at once! ”

“At the end of the day, the compensation and welfare of an interstellar miner is several times higher than that of a university professor on Panlong, and after a large number of crystal ore veins have been mined, they have invested uncontrollably in the renovation of the mining base without first returning to their home planet! ”

“Instead of improving mining efficiency, they built a large number of non-work-related leisure and recreation facilities in mining bases, nicknamed 'humanized work environments', shortening working hours to five hours a day, and threatening them with strikes if they can't move. ”

“Oh, fish and bear claws are not compatible. Where in the universe can such good things make it easy to extract crystal ore? ”

“At their discretion, the cost of mining and transportation has risen dramatically, even to the point where every ton of crystalline ore is mined, the cost of fuel, materials, labor, energy to drive the spiritual energy puppet, repair and maintenance of the spiritual energy puppet, plus the depreciation and depletion of the starship, far exceeds the value of a ton of crystalline ore itself! ”

“Such a system, of course, is unlikely to last, and it is too late for some unsustainable revisers to propose reforms! ”

“Miners and some of the management on the resource planet form powerful unions, turn into huge interest groups, unite to bargain with the home planet, and even reach out to the home government. ”

“The Panlonians see high welfare and a relaxed working environment as fundamental human rights, and the vast majority of society supports mining trade unions as the 'victims' and greatest contributors to the whole civilization; nor can the modifiers who grow up in such an environment resort to any coercive means against ordinary people, who, in the aggressive and forceful offensive of mining trade unions, clearly possess powerful force, but are a weak compromise! ”

“Every time the Realists give in, the fire of the mining union becomes more arrogant, thinking about the need for better treatment! ”

“Miners make sense at first sight - the crystal stone was dug up, mainly for the cultivators to cultivate and energize Pharaoh, of course the cultivators took the greatest advantage! ”

“Is it not natural, then, that those who seek to repair the truth should pay more for this? ”

“This theory, not only endorsed by the vast majority of ordinary people, but also by many foolish practitioners, betrayed their own camp and became a member of the mining union! ”

“As such, the larger the toxic tumor parasitized in the Panlong civilization, like cancer, gradually dried up the nutrients of the mother planet, instead of solving the problem of crystal depletion, accelerating the deterioration of the problem! ”

“A large number of spiritual energy puppets and semi-automated mining systems are adopted, and there are great hidden dangers themselves. With the constant wear and tear of spiritual energy puppets, the invisible risks are accumulating, gradually reaching the critical point! ”

“Finally, on a resource planet called 'Blood Dragon Star', because of the interruption of communication between the Spiritual Energy Puppet and the mining base caused by the storm, the chip of the Spiritual Energy Puppet happened to fail, and the miners responsible for the safety inspection did not find it in time, resulting in an unprecedented mine disaster, in which more than 1,700 miners were killed! ”

“This tragic accident has once again led the Panlonians to question the safety and legitimacy of mining on the resource planet! ”

“Does it really make sense to trade living life for cold crystals? Is it true justice? ”

“If a civilization needs to be sustained by the death of ordinary people, then what is the value of such a civilization? ”

“Blood crystal! What you practitioners consume is blood crystals in exchange for the blood of our ordinary people! ”

“Such voices are heard at all levels of society and prevail in the name of freedom of expression. ”

“High indemnities also put five insurance companies and the entire mining group on the brink of bankruptcy, causing an unparalleled economic crisis on Panlong Star. ”

“The mining union took advantage of the disaster, all miners returned home from the resource planet, launched a huge march, aimed the spear at the realm of repair, demanded further improvement in working treatment and safety coefficients, and the lion opened up an unusual condition! ”

“At the technical level of Panlongxing, their requirements were delusional and could not be met at all! ”

“This time, there is finally no way back for the mendicator. ”

“However, even at the critical juncture of life and death, the cultivators are unwilling, unable and afraid to take a hard hand against the mining union, but they have set up another stove and formed a mining team composed entirely of cultivators who want to solve the resource problem on their own. ”

“How is that possible? ”

“After all, the number of practitioners is very small, and mining on the resource planet is mostly a simple repetition, with no technical content of heavy work, and they go down the well themselves, completely wasting their lives! ”

“Thus, the crystal collectivity of Panlong civilization operates with little efficiency, and the number of practitioners has been dwindling over the centuries. ”

“This reduction is due to two factors. ”

“First, Panlongxing's crystalline ore veins have been depleted and its spiritual energy has become thinner and thinner, entering a small ‘era of last resort' again. Of course, the number of newly awakened modifiers has plummeted! ”

“Secondly, the living environment on the resource planet is extremely dangerous, and the repairman burns divine souls and overdrafts life wildly mining, with an average life expectancy much lower than at home planet, while the casualty rate is greatly increased! ”

“Plus, after devoting the vast majority of our time and energy to meaningless mining, we don't have time and energy to cultivate, and the boundary can't be raised, which is to die, one less! ”

“Normal people don't feel bad about this. ”

“Because in the struggle between the mining union and the real world, the mining union has denounced the real world as bloody and imperfect. ”

“The crystal is dug up, mainly for the true repairers, we ordinary people can live well even without crystals! ”

“The vast majority of Pandragon people are bewitched by this idea and are not interested in what happens on the resource planet. Anyway, the old ancestors' legacy of Pang is enough to make them comfortable for several hundred more years. ”

“For an ordinary man, hundreds of years have been long enough not to necessarily see the end of his life. ”

“But for a civilization, hundreds of years is really a white battle, and it just flies away! ”

“So, hundreds of years later, the glorious Panlong civilization of the past finally came to an end. ”

“The number of practitioners has fallen to the bottom of the valley and is no longer sufficient to sustain the entire crystalline mineral collectivity, and all mining bases are in a state of disrepair and half-dead. ”

“With the depletion of crystalline resources and the interruption of the transport route between the home and last resource planets, the Panlonians have finally lost their ability to navigate, exploit and transport the stars and seas and have lost them forever! ”
