Chapter 1663: 1551, Colonization Star System (Thanks to 20240518162_bD for the 700 reward!)

Morning Star also understood.

The 5 stars marked by hymn are all stars with colonized planets.

As for why these 5 stars were marked, it goes back to the "Colonization Star System" of the Triangular.

The Crystal Blue Community has over 10,000 colonized stars in the Triangular cluster, evenly distributed in the habitable zones of the star system’s outer stars.

However, there weren’t this many colonized stars initially.

Initially, there were only one or two colonized stars, gradually developing into a dozen, and over millions of years, they evolved into a sizable number, reaching 2,000 stars.

After the number grew to 2,000, the development of Crystal Blue’s colonized stars entered a stagnation period.

In the following approximately one million years, Crystal Blue did not increase the number of colonized stars.

These 2,000 colonized stars were also called the "first batch of colonized stars."

The ones located in Grela-13 were also part of the first batch of colonized stars.

During the next million years, the intelligent machines built infrastructures on each colonized star, enslaving and raising the carbon-based life.

As the carbon-based life gradually took shape, they began to continuously produce Spiritual Energy.

Most of the Spiritual Energy produced was sent back to the Crystal Blue Star System, while the remaining quarter was kept on the colonized stars locally for the intelligent machines to research.

Spiritual Energy was a material inherently unrelated to intelligent machines; it was unique to carbon-based life and could only be absorbed and utilized by them.

Silicon-based beings, these chunks of metal and electronic components, naturally clashed with Spiritual Energy, theoretically unable to utilize it.

Yet, this couldn’t stop nearly a million years of research by the intelligent machines.

About 2 million years ago, the intelligent machines finally figured out a way to use Spiritual Energy!

Although this method was primitive, it enabled them to massively energize intelligent machines and produce a batch of high-level intelligent mechanisms.

This batch of high-level intelligent mechanisms mixed silicon-based components with Spiritual Energy, creating a new series of mechanisms. Subsequently, Crystal Blue named them "Spiritual Energy Intelligent Machinery."

Spiritual Energy Intelligent Machinery became a new branch of the intelligent machine family.

The two planet-level intelligent machines currently controlled by Su Yu are standard Spiritual Energy Intelligent Mechanisms.

Take the planet-level third-stage intelligent mechanism as an example; its power core is a massive Starburst Stone!

When Su Yu initially saw this Starburst Stone, he was utterly amazed!

This Starburst Stone has a volume of 45 cubic meters, equivalent to a whopping 4500 units of Starburst Stone, selling individually could fetch 4500 billion Holy Silver Coins!

With the Starburst Stone as its core, the Spiritual Energy Intelligent Machinery clan emerged triumphantly.

Now, on Grela-13, especially the mechanisms above the eighth rank, about 70%-80% are Spiritual Energy Intelligent Mechanisms.

And precisely because they discovered a way to utilize Spiritual Energy, Crystal Blue began to have the motivation to expand their colonized stars.

The high-tier of Crystal Blue Intelligence quickly made decisions—to significantly increase the number of colonized stars, expanding from 2,000 to 10,000!

The more colonized stars there are, the more Spiritual Energy they produce, and the Spiritual Energy Intelligent Machinery tribe grows stronger.

But before the expansion began, one problem immediately presented itself to the intelligent machines—that was insufficient space channel resources, unable to support their widespread expansion.

Previously, the 2,000 colonized stars were interconnected, with each having 3-5 channels linking to other colonized stars.

Once they began expanding, the space channels quickly ran out, unable to afford the previous 3-5 channels per star configuration.

To solve this problem, the intelligent machines devised a clever method, which was—each of the new 8,000 colonized stars would only build one space channel!

The channel would be one-way linked to an old colonized star, enabling them to quickly expand while conserving space channel resources!

After devising a solution, Crystal Blue’s intelligent mechanisms immediately implemented it.

Quickly, the 8,000 colonized stars entered the site selection process, building a single channel connecting to one of the first batch of colonized stars after determining the location.

Consequently, the first batch of 2,000 colonized stars was renamed "Hub Planet."

Each Hub Planet would connect to 3-5 of the second batch of new colonized stars.

...

In the control room, Su Yu pointed to the 5 stars marked as red on the starmap and said earnestly, "The colonized stars near these 5 stars only have space channels connecting to Grela-13, they can be said to be ours for the taking.

I’ve gone through the documentation; although the 5 colonized stars don’t have planet-level above intelligent mechanisms or carbon-based strong people, the numbers of intelligent machines and carbon-based life are still significant.

Let’s go take them now; it is absolutely safe to occupy these 5 colonized stars."

"I agree with your idea," hymn nodded in agreement.

However, she turned her tone: "But as I said earlier, even adding these 5 stars isn’t enough!"

Filling Su Yu’s "pool" with 5 stars isn’t nearly enough; advancing to stellar-level isn’t so easy.

Upon hearing hymn’s words, Su Yu chuckled mysteriously, "I also know it’s not enough, but I have a secret weapon, which is—Emperor Xin!"
