A 10% reduction can reduce more. On the fifth day, the output of the Proxima civilization had been reduced to of the original. The Tower of Babel still shone brightly, like a firefly in the starry sky, small but everlasting. The Proxima civilization had begun to grow numb. They poured out 20% of the energy of the entire civilization, but still could not shake the tower. Even the top leaders of the civilization felt suffocated. It was just a tower sent by the other side. If the enemy fleet arrived, could they destroy one of them even if they tried their best? Chaos! The longer the tower existed, the more chaotic the surface became. "It's over. We will anger a powerful hunter."
"Just as the prey rushes towards the hunter, the hunter must raise his weapon and swing it at the prey." "What are those high-level people doing?" "Do they want to push our civilization into the abyss?" "Destruction may only happen in the next moment." "Escape..." "Escape from the galaxy!" Hundreds of spaceships fly towards outer space every day. Now the entire civilization's military force is aimed at the tower. They have a chance to escape. 27 of the 241 spaceships that took off on the first day broke through the atmosphere and escaped, and the rest were intercepted. More creatures saw the opportunity to survive. On the second day, the number of spaceships that took off reached 375, and 31 escaped. On the third day, there were 842 spaceships that took off, and 57 escaped. On the fourth day, the number broke a new high, reaching 1,354, and there were signs that they could not be intercepted. A total of 482 escaped. Until the fifth day, the scene of thousands of spaceships flying into space made the high-level civilization extremely angry. They were all cowards who abandoned civilization. But they can't do anything. The instinct of living things is to survive, and then everything else. Civilizations, countries and other organizations are shelters for living things. The most basic thing they provide is stability. If stability no longer exists, then both civilization and country will fall apart. "If we bombard them again, more will escape." "Then what can we do?"
"A bunch of bastards, they don't know how hard we rack our brains to save civilization. They only know one thing, that is, escape." "Huh~ Now the only two things we can do are to continue attacking or stop attacking. Everyone, choose one." All the high-level people read the scene in the starry sky in their minds at the same time. That tower. So majestic, so terrifying, so indestructible, so insurmountable. "Stop!" "How about one-tenth of a revolution?" (Proxima b orbits Proxima in about 11 Earth days) "That will consume more of our energy. You should know how many years of reserves we have consumed in the past few days." "If we stop now, we can hardly stabilize the economic stability of civilization." Energy is wealth. 30% of energy is equivalent to consuming 30% of the wealth of a civilization. Only inflation can stabilize the economy of civilization at this time, but they only need to do a little calculation to know that there are too many. Generally speaking, a 5% energy fluctuation of the entire civilization is enough to cause a major economic turmoil in the entire civilization. And now it is 20%. They even avoid thinking about this problem. But why can't they stop? Because even if the economy collapses directly, there is still a day to rebuild it, but if the civilization is destroyed, it cannot be reborn. They are in a dilemma. They can only repeatedly stop more warships and reduce firepower output. By the end of the 5th day, the firepower was only of the original. On the sixth day, all the high-level officials were exhausted physically and mentally when they saw the still intact tower. "Let's end it!" "There is no point in wasting time." "We should admit the huge gap between advanced civilizations and us." They have consumed 23% of their energy. They can't continue to fill the black hole endlessly. "Maybe we should send a spacecraft to the surface of the tower to explore." After the ceasefire, they had no more choices. "No, that may be a conspiracy of civilization. We should observe for a longer time."
No one knows whether the tower is a Pandora's box. As for the prophecy, the high-level officials of the civilization should not listen to a prophecy. This is a matter related to the fate of a civilization and cannot be rushed. But the day after the decision was made, they found that it was wrong. "Our behavior has angered the advanced civilization, which may make us lose the opportunity to connect with the advanced civilization." "We will be excluded from the Civilization Federation. As a civilization that does not belong to the Civilization Federation, we will be destroyed." "The light weapon will reach our star system across thousands of light years, just like the neighboring star system more than 2,000 years ago, which was hit by high-energy rays without warning, and the huge planets were torn apart. The entire star system was trapped in the stellar proton storm for millions of years." "Only by entering the tower and getting the pass of civilization can we have a chance to seek forgiveness." "These guys..." The senior leaders of the civilization almost had a cerebral thrombosis when they saw this information. The most important thing is that there are really creatures who will believe it. Although their civilization has reached level , their cultural popularization should be very high, but this is obviously not something that can be understood by simple culture. Because the tower has no roots and is indestructible. This is what all creatures in the entire civilization see. Using what they see as a theoretical fulcrum, it is easy to get the following results. Precisely because it is easy to get, it will be convinced by most creatures. "The source of the prophecy has been found!" All the high-level people in the civilization have a picture in their heads. It is a shabby and dirty garbage disposal robot. Its head has exploded. Inside it, a component different from the entire civilization is found - a circuit board. But this circuit board is now charred. "Conspiracy!" "A complete conspiracy!" "Pass this message on." Instantly, all creatures received this information in their brains. But it was too late. The tower used force to prove that it came from a higher civilization. How could a higher civilization play such a trick? This is just the rhetoric of the high-level. Even if the higher civilization played such a trick, so what? They are just spreading information to avoid unnecessary conflicts. More than half of the spaceships that had left the planet flew towards the tower, and more spaceships flew out from the surface of the planet and joined the team. A huge haze shrouded the heads of all the high-level civilizations.
Since the other civilization used such a small trick, it means that the height of the other civilization is not as far-fetched as they originally thought. The information transmitted may be true, but it is more likely to be false. They have discovered the truth, but they can no longer stop it. Tens of thousands of spaceships are carrying hundreds of thousands of creatures and heading towards the tower. They can order the fleet to intercept, but it will be of no avail. The universe is vast, and after tens of thousands of spaceships are scattered, the only thing the fleet can do is to stop them by force. If the spaceships carrying civilians are destroyed, they can hardly imagine what the civilians who are still inside the planet will do at this time. After all, this is not a decision made by a small part, but by the majority. When the high-level civilization does not meet the affirmation of most civilized creatures, then they are no longer high-level. If they prevent entry into the tower, they will inevitably be in internal strife, and unknown civilizations will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. If they let it go, then it will be exactly what the unknown civilization wants. Another message came. "We have entered the tower. The first to enter were not the civilians, but our soldiers." This news made the top leaders of the civilization even more depressed. Soldiers have stronger combat capabilities than civilians, but it does not mean that soldiers will interpret the news more deeply than civilians. There are several most important things in this information. 1. Save civilization. Every individual in the civilization wants to be a savior. They feel threatened like the top leaders, but they can't make many decisions, and entering the tower is one of them. 2. Control power. The civilization behind the tower is extremely powerful, and all individuals want to control the power given by the higher civilization, so that they can achieve class promotion. 3. The civilization is friendly and has no weapons. You will not die if you enter the tower, and there is no loss if you try. This is a conspiracy across civilizations. It uses the illusion of peace to stimulate the desire for survival of civilization and the greed of creatures. There is no creature that is not greedy, because creatures themselves constantly demand energy from the world and the universe, which is the root of greed. Unless this creature does not need any material and can live forever, it must be greedy. After thinking of this, all the high-level civilizations seemed to see a high-hanging gate knife, and their civilization was placed below. They felt that the only thing they could do was to pray that the other civilization would be as predicted.
