CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 400: RECEIVING A MYRIAD OF AFFECTION

The elemental composition and ratio of Ghost Star people’s bodies are the result of evolutionary environmental influences.

Since the Mother Star of the Ghost Civilization, Ghost Star, is a Super Gas Giant and is a Deserted Star that failed to evolve on the Constant Star Road.

Therefore, the proportion of Hydrogen Element on Ghost Star is naturally very high, which directly leads to the dominance of hydrogen in the body elements of Ghost Star people.

At the same time, the body elements of Ghost Star people exhibit a golden ratio of 28, which is closely related to the evolutionary failure of their Mother Star, Ghost Star.

The proportion of hydrogen in Ghost Star is only 75 percent, and the remaining 25 percent is made up of other elements. Due to an excess of heavy elements deposited within the Star Core, the first attempt at gravitational collapse to naturally ignite nuclear fusion reactions lasted only three days before extinguishing due to a lack of Hydrogen Element in the core area, ultimately leading to Ghost Star becoming a Deserted Star.

Although the Sun also had a hydrogen composition of around seventy-something percent in the 20th century, the situation of the Sun and Ghost Star was completely different.

The Sun had already been undergoing nuclear fusion for five billion years at that time, and most of the non-hydrogen elements in its Constant Star Body were produced by nuclear fusion.

But the non-hydrogen elements in Ghost Star were inherently present within and deposited in the Star Core, which naturally had a significant impact on establishing a cyclic mechanism for nuclear fusion reactions.

However, this was not a bad thing for the Ghost Civilization; although it was a very bad thing for their Mother Star Ghost Star, the Ghost Civilization could not have been born from Ghost Star if it hadn’t failed to evolve.

It was precisely because of the evolutionary failure of Ghost Star that many favorable conditions were created for the birth and evolution of Ghost Star people.

First off was the temperature; because a three-day nuclear fusion reaction occurred, the temperature of Ghost Star rose significantly. After hundreds of thousands of years of cooling, it remained over one hundred degrees, which was one of the conditions for the birth of Ghost Star people.

Secondly, the brief nuclear fusion reactions in Ghost Star pushed a large number of non-hydrogen elements out of the Star Core and ionized these elements, creating a multi-elemental, rich atmospheric environment that was also one of the necessary conditions for the evolution of Ghost Star people.

At the same time, this is also why the body elements of Ghost Star people show a 28 ratio.

Upon learning this history, the members of the Wandering Alliance were quite moved, as their own birth was also the culmination of many favorable conditions, very difficult to achieve. To put it in popular terms, it is like being the darling of fortune. Without such favor, it would be almost impossible to evolve into an intelligent life form, let alone develop into a civilization.

Next.

The scientific team of the Wandering Alliance continued their research on some of the life habits or characteristics of Ghost Star people.

After research, they discovered that although Ghost Star people do not need to eat like biological organisms, they need to maintain the ionization of their bodies, which is to say the weak lightning in those blue energy clumps. Therefore, they need to continually absorb free electrons from the external environment to survive.

This can be seen as a form of alternative feeding.

It is also because of this reason that the lifespans of Ghost Star people are fraught with uncertainty; some may die just after being born, while others may live tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, or even achieve Eternal Life.

In addition, the way Ghost Star people observe the world is not by seeing, as they lack the organs unique to biological life. Their method of observing the world is similar to that of Celestial Civilizations, which is to receive vibrational frequencies. Only, due to different life levels, the medium they use to receive vibrations is different. Celestial Civilizations receive spatial vibrational frequencies, whereas Ghost Star people receive pure photons.

Inside the bodies of Ghost Star people, there are hundreds of "electronic eyes" made of multi-electron atoms. When these electronic eyes absorb photons reflected from the surrounding environment, they naturally interpret the information carried by them. This is the specific process by which Ghost Star people observe the world.

Apart from observing the world differently, the reproduction method of Ghost Star people is also different from that of biological life.

The reproduction method of Ghost Star people is to transfer the "Spiritual Medium" carrying genetic information from their own bodies to suitable plasma clumps, allowing these clumps to gradually develop self-consciousness and become members of the Ghost Civilization.

Therefore, the reproduction of Ghost Star people was entirely luck-based in the primitive era, and this did not change until they became a First-level Civilization, after which reproduction became industrialized on a large scale. Additionally, due to their special life forms and habits, they do not have the parental relationships found in biological life, only master and slave relationships.

That is, the reproducer is the master, and the reproduced are the slaves.

This was the social system upon which the survival of Ghost Star people depended in the primitive era until the Ghost Civilization became a Second-level Civilization. Only after a movement towards life enlightenment did they completely abolish this system and start to advocate for life equality.

As for the previously mentioned "Spiritual Medium," it is not some mystical object or phenomenon, but simply the term used by the Ghost Civilization for their genetic molecules, just like humans refer to genetic cells as DNA. It’s just a name and not much different.

With that, the research by the Wandering Alliance on Ghost Star people came to a temporary conclusion.

After returning, the scientific teams related to the project, together with important members like Constant Star Lu Chen, discussed the compatibility between the Ghost Civilization and the Wandering Alliance.

Compatibility refers to the degree of conditions necessary for two species to coexist. The higher the difference in conditions, the lower the compatibility; the lower the difference, the higher the compatibility. Whether the compatibility is high or low is one of the bases for the Wandering Alliance to decide whether to accept a new member.

After all, if the compatibility is too low, the Wandering Alliance would need to change or set up a lot of equipment to ensure smooth communication between the different civilizations; if the compatibility is high, there is no need to manufacture much equipment, or even none at all, just like how the Light Synthesis People can directly live on Earth, which indicates extremely high compatibility.

Considering this, the compatibility between the Ghost Civilization and the Wandering Alliance is undoubtedly very low.

Of course, the final decision is not based solely on compatibility but also reviews other aspects, such as whether the technology of the Ghost Civilization is helpful to one’s own and so on. When the Wandering Alliance decided to accept the surrender of the Ghost Civilization, it was in view of their possession of Invisibility Technology.

Soon, the relevant technical review also yielded results; the Invisibility Technology of the Ghost Civilization was indeed superior to that of the Wandering Alliance, which also reflected the skewed development of Ghost Civilization technology.

However, this was at least good news for the Ghost Civilization.

But as we say, every cloud has a silver lining. Not long after, bad news came from other areas of assessment.

An audit team of the Wandering Alliance, while reviewing the information records of the Ghost Civilization, accidentally found that before being intercepted by the Wandering Alliance, the Ghost Civilization had already sent messages containing important intelligence about the Wandering Alliance to another civilization.

With the exposure of this incident, the originally relatively eased situation suddenly became tense and sharp!
