Hawk never thought that his "interest first" speculation was wrong. Hawk always thought that if there was not enough interest driven, the lizardman civilization could not take the initiative to take action against itself.
Now, Hawk's suspicions have finally been confirmed. The Lizardman civilization had taken the initiative to attack itself in order to verify the speculation of "whether destroying other civilizations would improve the luck of their own civilization".
In this moment, from this association, Hawk thought of many things.
"Earth explosion ... Earth explosion ... could it be that a certain civilization, in order to improve their own luck, so brazenly attacked the Earth people?"
Hawk's heart, emerged from such a thought, but, Hawk keenly grasped a doubt.
"No, no, there is another suspicion is not explained. That is, what is the criterion for the extinction of civilization? All the intelligent creatures that make up the civilization die? Or the loss of the civilization's heritage? But it seems that neither of these points make sense. Although the lizardmen's planet exploded, 300,000 people escaped and did not become extinct, and they continued to pass on their civilization, and although Earth exploded, I also escaped, and, moreover, the civilization of Earth humans continues to develop."
"Since the civilization continues to be passed on, this does not seem to be considered an extinction of civilization, and since this mysterious unknowable force did not exterminate the civilization, it would seem to indicate that the lizard people's speculation was wrong. Or ... exterminate civilization to improve their own luck this guess, is wrong."
"But ... during this time, my luck is also very good ah, got the energy cannon manufacturing technology, in the lizardmen planet to obtain a large number of construction materials, the new photonic computer construction technology has also appeared a breakthrough ... does , is this because I wiped out the lizardman civilization?"
All kinds of conflicting intelligence mixed together, so that Hawke had no way to come up with a clear answer to. At this moment, Hawke even had the idea of eliminating a civilization to verify the speculation of "whether eliminating a civilization will lead to good luck".
The second paragraph, there is no more here. Hawk had no choice but to build the fleet while waiting for the completion of the deciphering work.
Gradually, time passed another five years. Hawke's construction work was fully completed, the Sun was re-melted and its materials were re-forged to become part of the new Voyager, and the construction of the new Sky Court was also completed.
Up to now, Hawke has a total of 1,243 ships, among which, two county-level ships of 800,000 tons are the New Sky Court and the New Voyage, and one county-level ship of 400,000 tons is the New Sun. There are fully one thousand village-class airships, and two hundred and forty village-class airships.
The three county-level ships are equipped with Hawke's most advanced energy weapons at present. Hawke also gave this energy weapon an extremely racy name, called the Dragon God Cannon. The weapon systems of the country-level ships and county-level ships were also updated, and the high-speed machine guns made with more advanced electromagnetic coil acceleration technology were fully applied, and the new high-energy laser cannon was also equipped on all the ships.
Now, if Hawk faced the Lizardman civilization again, Hawk had the confidence to eliminate all the opposing forces within a month.
The new photonic computer was installed on the Sky Court and the Far Cry. Normally, Hawk would be perched on one of these two photonic computers, while the other would take on the computing tasks of the entire fleet that did not require Hawk's intervention.
The Voyager became the new flagship of Hawke's fleet.
Hawke carried all the materials on the planet that could be recycled onto the ship, and then, Hawke maneuvered the fleet and came above the planet.
"It's time to leave." Hawk thought, "After staying here for so many years, this matter, it's time to have an end."
Hawk did not intend to stay on top of the planet to get to the Sky Court. One, because this planet is too barren, basically there is no value to develop, and two, with the new ship and sufficient raw materials to replenish, Hawk will be able to manipulate the fleet to obtain higher speed, can be at least a thousand years ahead of the Tian Yuan four star system. In this case, it is not cost-effective to remain on this planet.
"Barren Star, goodbye and good luck." Hawk said silently and gave the order to depart. Immediately, more than fourteen hundred spaceships simultaneously ejected bright blue flames from their tails and began to depart towards the pitch-black universe.
With Hawk's departure, this barren star fell back into silence. It would continue to wander in space, perhaps with good luck, captured by a star as its own planet, or if unlucky, it might run into a black hole and be swallowed up directly.
Hawk did not care about its fate. There were too many such things in the universe.
In the second year after Hawke left the barren star, all the core information of the lizardmen were all deciphered.
"The interstellar voyage unfolded. We left our star and stepped into the darkness of the universe."
"The planetary transformation program began, a project that proceeded very slowly because of the lack of supplies. We were slowly transforming the entire planet's atmosphere, and we built cities on the surface."
"Civilization was being maintained with difficulty and passed on. Gradually, our people forgot the warm, comfortable home they once had, but I will never forget. I was horrified to see the horrible changes in the bodies of our people. As intelligent creatures, we undoubtedly walked upright, but in order to withstand the harsh cold cosmic environment and to obtain more heat sources, we began to gradually evolve towards reptiles, and, as the light-sensitive organs began to degrade, we evolved new heat-sensitive organs."
"I do not know whether this change is good or bad, I can only eagerly look forward to reaching the destination soon, what the light looks like, I have almost forgotten."
Hawk's fleet began to reaccelerate once again. In fact, during the previous decades of confrontation with the lizardman civilization, Hawke's fleet and that sphere, too, had been doing close motion relative to the Sky Court IV. With this acceleration, Hawke's fleet reached a speed of 900 kilometers per second with respect to Sky Court IV.
With this speed, Hawk will reach his destination in about sixteen hundred years. This time has already saved more than a thousand years from the original estimate.
In the dark universe, there are stars in all directions. The farthest stars are even ten billion light years away.
"How big and mysterious the universe is. There are so many things that I have not learned about." Hawk sighed and continued to start this information.
"More than a thousand years of long journey, we have not encountered any civilization, so that speculation has never been able to verify. At the same time, our technological progress has slowed down severely. It seems that the good luck brought by the extermination of the indigenous civilizations was used up by us. Our population, always limited to less than a million people, had to say that the environment of this planet, was really too harsh. So bad that even if we have been carrying out renovation works for more than a thousand years, leaving the life-support system, we still can't survive on this planet."
"Life, it was just boring and peaceful. Until something happened that completely shattered that peace."
"Two thousand years after the escape began, a very serious accident happened in the midst of our civilization. A newly born young life, while being educated about the history of our civilization's escape, asked a question."
"I still remember the name of this young kind, who, in later years, grew to become one of the most outstanding scientists in our civilization."
"It was a question that almost turned our society upside down. His question was simple: in class, he asked his teacher that after escaping to the new planet, we had an unlimited source of fusion fuel because of the proximity to the wood-like planet, as well as a nearly unlimited supply of minerals at the original home planet, so why couldn't we develop technology here and wait until it was sufficiently advanced before making our escape? Why start fleeing without any adequate preparation?"
"His tenured teacher froze. Because his tenured teacher suddenly realized that he had never pondered this question. Not only him, but our entire society, nearly a million people, had not pondered this question within the span of two thousand years. It seems that all of us at the same time suffered from selective amnesia, forgetting about the problem and instead just fleeing, immediately embarking on a long voyage just as technology reached the point of propelling the planet on an interstellar voyage."
"This issue had a tremendous impact in our society, and our entire society engaged in a great discussion for hundreds of years. During that time, various hypotheses were put forward, but none of them were convincing enough. In fact, until now, we don't know the reason, we don't know why none of us thought of staying within the home system and developing technology before making an escape."
Hawk fell into a daze. Hawke's heart set off waves of shock, so much so that the central computer almost died.
"Yes, why? Why? This ... seems to be a very shallow reasoning, to stay within the home system first, develop technology with the help of those resources, and then make an escape when the technology is advanced enough, this reasoning, isn't it very shallow? Isn't it easy to be thought of?"
"But why? Why have I not thought of this before? Why have I not thought about this at all before?"
Hawke muttered, his heart shaking more and more.
"Why? Why?"
