Chapter 483 - 311 The Three Major Events of the Sikes Civilization
On the route of the second planet within the Capital Star Circle of the Sikes Civilization.
Lu Heng stood in front of the glass window on the interstellar flight, gazing at the starry sky outside, and many thoughts arose in his mind.
Humans had no official status in the Sikes Civilization and normally couldn't board the spaceship.
However, this wasn't much of a problem for the Xavier Matrix.
He found a viscount of the Sikes Civilization and took Lu Heng and four others aboard the interstellar flight in the guise of attendants.
This interstellar flight departed from Second Gaia Star, heading towards the capital of the Sikes Civilization—Queen Star.
Among the four people in the team, besides Lu Heng, the other three were taking an interstellar spaceship for the first time, so they were somewhat excited.
Yuan Yaoyao, on the other hand, appeared quite composed, lacking the anticipated excitement, probably not her first time aboard an interstellar spaceship.
Lu Heng had also been on an interstellar spaceship before, had traveled before his rebirth, and had even visited Queen Star, the capital of the Sikes Civilization.
Queen Star is the most prosperous planet of the Sikes Civilization and also their capital star.
If Second Gaia Star is the most livable planet, a pilgrimage destination of the Sikes Civilization, then Queen Star is the political and cultural center of the Sikes Civilization.
Queen Star houses the oldest nobility and the largest conglomerates of the Sikes Civilization and is also a battleground for major factions.
Relatively speaking, Sikes people residing on Second Gaia Star yearn for a tranquil life, with fewer extremists.
Thus, Second Gaia Star is the stronghold of the Escape Faction.
The Escape Faction, commanded by Yeliana Sikes, received the highest support on Second Gaia Star, hence she primarily delivered speeches there to boost the faction's support.
"Escape Faction" is an informal name; officially, the faction is called the Civilization Continuation Plan.
Indeed, the Escape Faction received the highest support on Second Gaia Star, but this was relative.
The total support rate for the Escape Faction was only about 7% and couldn't go much higher.
Before boarding the interstellar spaceship, Lu Heng had already learned about the current timeline of the Sikes Civilization.
Due to the difference in time flow, five years had passed since he was last conscripted to the Sikes Civilization.
During these five years, the support rate for the Escape Faction had consistently hovered around 7%.
During the last conscription, the exposure of the Abyss Meat Tumor cultivation at Descent Faction's Delrims 3 base led to a drop in the Descent Faction's support, at one point falling below 4%.
At that time, the support rate for the Escape Faction had increased slightly, but it later dropped back to 7%.
The support rate for the Descent Faction had fallen below 4%, but the faction's combat capability had actually strengthened.
After the Abyss Meat Tumor incident was exposed, only the truly insane could continue to support the Descent Faction.
This means that this 4% of Descent Faction supporters had been purified, except for a few politicians who could not break away from the faction due to benefits, what remained were all lunatics, psychopaths, and antisocial personalities.
After purification, although the number of supporters decreased, the purity increased.
This resulted in any policy proposed by the Descent Faction, no matter how nonsensical, receiving full support from this group of lunatics.
...
During these five years, several major events occurred in the Sikes Civilization.
The first was that the planet farthest from the Sikes Star completely fell into the Abyss World.
This planet, named Ice Plateau Star, is 5.2 billion kilometers from the Sikes Star, roughly equivalent to Neptune in the Solar System.
The surface temperature of Ice Plateau Star can reach minus two hundred degrees, hence its name.
Also, for this reason, Ice Plateau Star is not a habitable planet.
Of course, this is only unsuitable for organic life; for mechanical civilizations, the environment is not ideal, but not entirely uninhabitable.
Therefore, there are a few residents on Ice Plateau Star, all Sikes residents who are employees and families of mining groups, responsible for extracting resources from Ice Plateau Star.
Due to its distance from the Capital Star Circle, the defense force on Ice Plateau Star is sparse.
After the Abyss invasion, Ice Plateau Star was virtually defenseless; the mining company was invaded and immediately withdrew.
For the Sikes Civilization, resisting the Abyss on Ice Plateau Star was too costly, the returns did not justify the expenditure, leaving no choice but to abandon it.
The second major event.
Since Ice Plateau Star completely succumbed to the Abyss World, the Descent Faction claimed that as long as one embraced the rule of the Abyss, one could settle on Ice Plateau Star, becoming a pioneer of the era of change.
Subsequently, videos and news of Descent Faction adherents submitting to the Abyss and settling on Ice Plateau Star began circulating back to the Capital Star Circle, causing a significant stir.
Afterward, the Sikes Civilization officials banned all information regarding Ice Plateau Star, prohibiting its spread online.
If the central computer of the Sikes Civilization detected any relevant information being shared, it would immediately block the network communication and send mechanical guards to apprehend the distributors.
The third major event.
Two years ago, multiple planets within the Capital Star Circle of the Sikes Civilization witnessed outbreaks of Abyss Meat Tumors.
Although they were ultimately eradicated, this left the people of the Sikes Civilization feeling uneasy.
Before boarding the spaceship, Xavier Matrix had mentioned this matter; he speculated that someone was re
"If another incident like what happened at Delrims Base 3 occurs, you can also be prepared, just in case your faction gets involved too."
Yeliana Sikes was quickly persuaded and agreed, "All right, what would you like me to do?"
Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Invite a few human Superpower Users over, and find out what their Main Quest is."
