The Wind Star People lost themselves in the Silo Liquor, but Hu Yu and dozens of other Wind Star People remained sober. No matter how much these clones drank, it wouldn't affect the holographic controller thousands of light-years away. From these rambling Wind Star People, the science ship gradually gathered everything about Wind Star.
The mission of Hu Yu's fleet was also learned by another operator from other Wind Star People; otherwise, Hu Yu wouldn't know how to answer this Feng Jun boss.
The so-called mission was to transport the life forms on the more than one thousand planets in the first three orbits to feed the insectoid swarms. As information continued to increase, Hu Yu finally learned a great deal about this Wind Star Civilization. Moreover, Hu Yu knew that the Wind Star People were feeding more than one insectoid swarm, and as for the locations of the other insectoid swarms, no one knew yet.
The Wind Star Civilization was an ordinary civilization in this planetary system. They were indeed born on a planet with strong winds all year round, so their long hair helped them maintain their body temperature, and their limbs were able to grip the surface tightly so as not to be blown away by the strong winds. In the long years of strong winds, the Wind Star Civilization was born.
The strong winds of Wind Star made their civilization develop extremely slowly, taking millions of years to progress from the initial stage of civilization to Stellar-Level Civilization. Compared to humans, who grew from the initial stage of civilization to Stellar-Level Civilization in just a few thousand years, the Wind Star People had to overcome far more difficulties. Most of the time, all their efforts were only enough to maintain life and the reproduction of their race.
Having reached the Stellar-Level Civilization, the strong winds could no longer hinder their progress. However, their long-term struggle against nature had greatly affected their thinking abilities. On the Wind Star, they relied more on their strong limbs than their intelligent brains to fight against nature. Their brains not only did not evolve at all over the millions of years, but actually regressed slightly.
Resilience remains a defining characteristic of the Wind Star People. Although their brains are not highly developed, they have not given up. They finally have the ability to leave Wind Star and migrate as a whole to another planet in this planetary system. The environment here is much better than on Wind Star, and the Wind Star People finally have a home where they can develop technology in peace.
In just ten thousand years, the Wind Star People broke through from Stellar-Level Civilization to Star System-Level Civilization. It took them another fifty thousand years to break through from the Early Star System-Level civilization to the advanced stage. The next thing to do was to cultivate the Insect Race.
These crew members didn't know why the civilization's leader wanted to cultivate the Insect Race. Ten thousand years ago, the leader suddenly issued an order to collect all civilizations below the Star System Level within a radius of ten thousand light-years. Once found, they were to be moved over a thousand life-bearing planets. With the combat power and support of the Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization, these lower-level civilizations were almost powerless to resist. After the Wind Star Fleet quickly cleared out their warships, the mother planets and colony planets of these civilizations were all moved to this new planetary system.
The inhabitants of these planets were stripped of all technology and education. Any research into technology was forbidden, and anyone caught doing so would face brutal extermination by the Wind Star People. As for resistance, how could these Star-Level Planet-Level civilizations possibly stand a chance against the Star System Level Wind Star Civilization? Besides, their technological creations had been destroyed, their entire technological system had been crippled, and all their researchers had been killed. The remaining ordinary people would have no chance to resist; they couldn't even withstand the planet's gravity.
The civilized beings on these planets were required to raise native plants and animals and reproduce themselves. Every so often, the Wind Star Fleet would arrive, and they would be required to hand over biological resources, including the civilized beings themselves. If the required number was not met, the Wind Star People would kill the leader of the civilization and replace him with another to continue the mission.
Faced with the barbaric demands of the Wind Star People, these civilized beings had no chance to resist. All planets were strictly monitored, and any unusual activity could lead to the extermination of their race. The civilized beings were reduced to livestock who only knew how to reproduce. They reproduced generation after generation, only to watch helplessly as their parents or children were taken away by the Wind Star People onto warships. Although they did not know what fate awaited their people who were taken away, the result was certain death.
The Wind Star People understood the importance of longevity. Apart from handing over their biological resources at the appointed time, they did not oppress the creatures. Instead, they tried to improve their lives. As a result, the creatures on many planets became numb to this. For these low-level civilizations, the lifespan of many creatures was less than a thousand years. They clung to a sliver of hope, praying that they would live to see the day before the fleet arrived.
Many more civilized beings cling to the last glimmer of hope to preserve the flame of civilization and ensure the continuation of their race. They struggle to survive, hoping one day to escape the clutches of the Wind Star People and rebuild their civilization. Although the possibility of this hope coming true is infinitesimally close to zero, they still persevere.
The Wind Star People Wind Star People to leave the selection of creatures to civilizations themselves. They only care about quantity, not which individuals are Wind Star People. After all, they're just feeding insects, so it doesn't matter if they're fat, thin, beautiful, or ugly. This not only saves them trouble but also incites internal conflicts among these races. The decision of who lives and who dies is handed over to the civilizations themselves, and a portion of the hatred is also directed at the civilizations themselves.
Every time the Wind Star Fleet descends upon a life-bearing planet, it is a tremendous tragedy. Although these civilized beings are stripped of their technology, their minds remain. They must face the pain of separation and death, helplessly watching their loved ones board the Wind Star People's warships. In their eyes, the Wind Star Fleet is a death court. Even many Wind Star People themselves cannot bear this scene. They would attack another civilization without hesitation, but sending wave after wave of defenseless beings to the Zerg swarm as food is a tremendous psychological test for the Wind Star People.
That's why the transport missions were called lucrative by Feng Jun. The Wind Star People had also opposed the leader's breeding of the Insect Race, but without exception, they were all brutally suppressed by the leader. Now, Wind Star is a one-man show by the Wind Star. Over time, the Wind Star People have gotten used to it and prefer not to see it. The Wind Star People live on a dozen or so planets in the fourth orbit, which is independent of the three breeding orbits. Normally, the Wind Star People are not allowed to go to the breeding base. Except for certain special people like Feng Jun, the other Wind Star People do not want to go.
On these dozen or so planets, there are over 300 billion Wind Star People. Many of them serve on warships, with each ordinary warship requiring ten Wind Star People. In addition to their home planets, there are over eighty other planets that serve as Wind Star People's rear bases, responsible for mining ore, building warships, maintaining warships, and producing various daily necessities for the Wind Star People. The number of Wind Star People on these hundred or so planets exceeds 100 billion, and they propel the enormous vehicle of Wind Star Civilization forward slowly.
In the dock, Hu Yu obtained a lot of information, but now it was time to carry out the mission. Hu Yu also wanted to go to the planet inhabited by the Wind Star People to investigate, but in order to avoid alerting them, Hu Yu gave up the idea and continued to carry out the mission. Most importantly, Hu Yu obtained a long hair from the Feng Jun.
With this long hair, Hu Yu essentially had eyes in the dock. To avoid detection, Hu Yu didn't bring any surveillance equipment onto the warship, let alone leave it at the Wind Star dock—only a madman would do something so stupid. Now, Hu Yu needed to return to the Insect Star, and the long hair would be handed over to the biologist who would come to meet him en route.
Once the fleet returns from the Insect Star, they can take the cloned Feng Jun with them. The route must be completed, otherwise the fleet headquarters will soon find out. It would be unwise to change the route directly when the specific situation of the Wind Star Civilization is not fully understood yet. When the fleet returns to Wind Star, they should find a way to replace this Feng Jun. With Feng Jun's communication skills and network of relationships, it will definitely have more information than Hu Yu.
