In the command room of the Papami, Captain Yumaz Lara has been watching the spacecraft detection officer Silquette Karen, who manipulates the deep space detection radar to search for the dark star cluster.

Because the search results will be related to the future of the Papami.

The entire search process was very long, with quantum fluctuations rippling from the Papami and spreading silently to every corner of the dark star cluster.

These quantum waves will detect the volume, mass, composition, and even the organisms that may exist on it, and then feedback back to the Papami in the form of quantum waves.

No matter how long it is, there will always be an end, and there will always be a result when waiting.

Ten days later, the spacecraft's main brain popped up the detection results of the deep space detection radar.

A total of 3,021 planets and 562 stars were detected in the dark cluster, of which 261 planets have natural water and soil, and traces of carbon-based intelligent organisms are found on 106 planets.

Seeing this result, Captain Yumaz Lala frowned.

There are so many planets with intelligent creatures in the Dark Cluster.

Life is a miracle of the universe, especially carbon-based intelligent creatures, which require extremely harsh initial conditions.

The primary condition for the origin of life is energy, which requires a star of moderate size. If it is too large, its lifespan will be too short and it will explode in hundreds of millions of years. If it is too small, it will be insufficient.

Moreover, the parent star is in a stable orbit on the planet and cannot be accidentally collided by a meteorite.

The size of the parent star is moderate. If it is too large, the air will be pressed into liquid by gravity. If it is too small, it will not be able to grasp the air.

The surface temperature of the parent star is moderate and can form liquid water.

The parent star has a stable rotation, so it is best to have a small satellite.

The parent star needs to have a melted iron core so that the magnetic field generated can withstand most crazy cosmic rays.

...

Simply put, the probability of life being born is very small. It is possible that one hundred million or one hundred billion.

The cruelty of the universe is far beyond imagination. Even if the Pajero civilization has reached level 3 and has explored 500,000 planets, it has only found less than 500 galaxies suitable for life and survival. As for those resource stars, the Pajero civilization has to send intelligent robots to guard it.

A great scientist from the Pajero Academy of Sciences once studied the origin of life and finally came to a conclusion:

There are about 10 atoms to the power of 90 in the universe. The probability of meeting the formation conditions of carbon-based life forms is about 10-350. In other words, the formation of life is like a gust of wind blowing a bunch of parts into the sky, falling down and assembling it into a star-class warship.

Even if these 106 planets in the dark cluster are not the planets that gave birth to life, the existence of carbon-based intelligent creatures on it is enough to show that these 106 planets are suitable for life and survival.

Captain Yumaz Lala felt that this dark star cluster was strange!

Although I felt strange, Captain Yumaz Lala decided to go to the nearest planet to find out.

The planet is 16.31   8×1011 cubic kilometers, nearly twice the size of Pajero, and one-third the mass of Pajero.

According to the detection results shown by the deep space detection radar, two-thirds of the planet cover the ocean, one-third of the land, and the air also has oxygen, nitrogen, argon and neon and carbon dioxide.

The main brain shows that this planet is perfect for Pajero's survival.

When Captain Yumaz Lala saw the planet through the glass window of the Papami spacecraft, he was immediately amazed at its beauty and decided to name it the Star of Hope.

The ocean on the Hope Star is red, which may be due to the large amount of iron elements. From space, it looks like a planet full of crimson colors.

Since the Papami is already in the synchronous orbit of the Hope Star, the main brain of the spacecraft can automatically start the telescope to conduct detailed analysis of the planet's surface.

Through detailed analysis by the main brain, I hope there are plants and a large number of animals on the surface of the star, which is a carbon-based planet.

The one who ruled this planet was a carbon-based animal that could walk upright. According to their life and production analysis, the level of civilization of this carbon-based creature should be only 0.3. They were in the farming era and relied on planting crops to make a living. There was no complete scientific system yet, and there was no trace of electricity.

Seeing this investigation report, Captain Yumaz Lala breathed a sigh of relief. As an interstellar ranger, the most feared thing was that he finally found a planet with intelligent creatures. He flew near the planet, but found that his spaceship had been targeted by interstellar warships.

"We are the gods on the Star of Hope!" Captain Yumaz Lala summoned all crew members and announced the formation of an interstellar invasion group.

He wants to conquer this wild planet with the Papami spacecraft and modern weapons he carries.

Although they only have 200 people, they are enough to sweep the army of native creatures with almost unlimited ammunition.

However, considering that their purpose was to rule Hope Star rather than killing the native creatures on Hope Star, Captain Yumaz Lala decided that he would organize a ten-man advance team to mix in Hope Star.

On the one hand, we can understand the customs of the local creatures in Hope Star for future rule and management, and on the other hand, we can determine who their real enemy is.

For Captain Yumaz Lala, the native creatures on the Hope Star will be his slaves in the future, and each one is precious.

They just need to overthrow the real rulers on the Star of Hope and take these slaves over.

After tens of millions of years of civilization expansion, the Pajero civilization has a complete set of solutions for how to rule a lower biological group.

Under the manipulation of the main brain, the Papami chose a manor in the suburbs of a large city to land.

The spacecraft landed in a farmland in the manor, and Captain Yumaz Lala had just taken off the boat with several crew members, breathing the fresh air of the first breath of hope star.

Dozens of native creatures in long robes surrounded them with wooden sticks. They looked frightened, shouting incomprehensible language in their mouths, pushing each other but no one dared to get close to the spaceship.

At this time, the master's mind instantly transmitted the parsed local language into Captain Yumaz Lala's headset. Captain Yumaz Lala realized that the group of people opposite were the serfs of the manor.

"Extraordinary people, this is the manor of Mijat's magician. You can leave quickly, otherwise you will be discovered by the magician and you will not be able to escape!"

"The magician went to attend the king's birthday today and would come back tonight. You guys should leave!"

...

Since there is no concept of a magician in the concept of the Pajero, the master brain chose the name magician to replace it according to semantics.

Isn’t a magician just a profession that uses vision to deceive people?

What's scary!

Captain Maz Lala heard the angrily rebuke of the serfs and regarded them as fearing the Papamir behind him, and deliberately threatened them.

He didn't take it seriously, but whispered to the left and right: "Let's fire! Don't aim at the deadly parts!"

To rule a planet, we must first let local creatures feel fear.

Three players beside Captain Maz Lara raised their laser guns and pulled the trigger.

The laser gun fired a light red laser beam, instantly piercing the serfs' arms.

The serfs whose arms were shot through were lying on the ground howling in pain. Seeing this, the farmers and herdsmen beside them ran away with fear.

"Magicians, they are also magicians. Everyone, run away!"

Captain Maz Lala frowned when he heard this. When these serfs saw the laser gun, they did not expect that it was the power of the gods. Instead, they thought they were also magicians, which was a bit strange.

However, he didn't care. After all, according to the main brain, the level of Hope Star local civilization is only 0.3, and it is absolutely impossible to pose a threat to itself from the third-level civilization.

Captain Maz Lala ignored the serfs crying in pain on the ground, but led the three team members to the farm not far away.

There is a dark gray three-story building in the farm, which should be the home of the farm owner.

Captain Maz Lala knew that there would be someone explaining the world to him.

They advanced along the grassy road, with a broad-leaved plant planted on both sides of the road. The plant should have reached the harvest season, the fruits began to turn yellow, and the shells of some fruits exploded, revealing the white starchy substance inside.

Captain Maz Lala roughly estimated that the yield of crops per acre of land here should be around 5,000 kilograms, which is already very high for a primitive civilization.

"It seems that Hope Star is a very wealthy planet."

Captain Maz Lala nodded with satisfaction.

Planets are all produced in the Big Bang, but their respective constituent materials are different. Some planets are covered with rocks, some planets only have ice, and some planets are filled with volcanoes that are spraying everywhere.

For the initial civilization, a planet that can grow crops is to draw the first prize in the lottery.

Captain Maz Lala, as the expedition captain, has seen countless barren planets. Due to poor environmental conditions, life on those planets can only be huddled in the ocean. Although they have been born for more than 10 billion years, they have been unable to evolve for a long time.

What impressed him most was a planet called Fidler. The trajectory of this planet was very strange and had to pass through the stars it orbited every 100,000 years.

So after 100,000 years of evolution, the original life above suddenly realized that the end of the world had arrived.

When the planet Fidler passes through the star, all the creatures above die in the high temperature, and then wait until the planet cools down again and a new life is born from the original ocean again.

Then it's repeated...

It is certain that any intelligent creature can never be born on the planet Fidler.

It's so sad!

"I am very satisfied with this planet!" Captain Maz Lala couldn't help but nod and praise when he saw several large livestock walking on the path near the farm.

With these livestock, the productivity of serfs will be greatly improved.

When Captain Maz Lala came to the manor with his team members, he found that the entire manor was surrounded by walls made of huge stones. These walls were 2 meters high. There were also two towers at the gate. More than a dozen armed serfs were aiming at them with bows and arrows nervously.

Captain Maz Lala stopped and frowned.

Of course, he was not worried about the armed serfs holding primitive weapons. After all, he had laser guns, and the bows and arrows of armed serfs were no different from firewood.

What he was worried about was the huge rocks that piled up the walls.

These boulders are blue-gray and have smooth cuts, just like cutting them with sharp tools.

He walked to the front of the wall and stroked the boulder with his hands. The cold boulder could not feel any roughness.

Captain Maz Lala believed that if measured with a measuring cabinet, the flatness of the surface of the boulder would reach at least 0.5.

Under such primitive conditions, how did the serfs on the Hope Star cut the boulders so smoothly?

Generally speaking, the hardness of the stone is between 5 and 4 degrees. Even if the serfs use iron hammer grinding, they cannot polish this smooth boulder without decades of time.

"There is something weird on this planet!" Captain Maz Lala reminded the crew to be careful.
