Chapter 1201: The Origin of the Hub Planets
Chapter 1201: The Origin of the Hub Planets
When the Holy Silver Civilization designated the 100 "Hub Planets," they did not choose already inhabited worlds with existing civilizations. Instead, they selected barren, lifeless planets located within the habitable zones of their respective stars.
For example, if a hub planet were to be established in the Solar System, and Earth already had life, the Holy Silver Civilization would not choose Earth. Instead, they would select Mars.
The reason, of course, was to start from scratch, building everything from the ground up.
Initially, these hub planets were desolate wastelands, devoid of any life forms.
The Holy Silver Civilization spent a considerable amount of time using greenhouse gases to transform these planets into habitable worlds.
It's worth noting that Mars, too, can be transformed using greenhouse gases. If a greenhouse effect were created on Mars, it could also become a habitable planet suitable for life.
The "Hub Planet Transformation Project" took a very long time, ranging from a few million years for the shortest to as long as 20 to 30 million years.
At the time, the native civilizations of the Milky Way found this project very puzzling, with some even mocking the Holy Silver Civilization for "wasting resources on unnecessary projects."
They couldn't understand why the Holy Silver Civilization would choose to transform barren planets instead of using already habitable ones.
However, once the "Hub Planet Transformation Project" was completed, the native civilizations who had been watching from the sidelines realized they had been gravely mistaken!
...
After the hub planets were fully transformed, the Holy Silver Civilization dispatched a large number of Holy Silver humanoids to these planets.
Their sole mission was to build gates.
To be more precise, they were to construct ultra-long-distance teleportation gates capable of interstellar travel, as well as gates connecting the hub planets to the various native civilizations on Earth. This project was known as the "Gate Construction Plan."
The "Gate Construction Plan" lasted nearly 10 million years.
Once the interstellar teleportation gates were built, the strong warriors, resources, and trade goods from the Holy Silver System could travel freely to the Milky Way.
The gates connecting the Milky Way's native civilizations were like a vast spider web, integrating the entire galaxy.
These hub planets became essential gateways for trade and communication between the native civilizations of the Milky Way and the civilizations of the Holy Silver System, effectively serving as true transportation hubs!
It is well known that important transportation hubs experience rapid development!
Take, for example, the country of Huaxia on Earth.
In ancient times, places like Zhengzhou, Zaozhuang, and Shijiazhuang were ordinary county towns, or even villages.
However, with the advent of industrialization and the intersection of railways, these places became crucial transportation hubs.
Being a key transportation hub meant rapid economic growth!
These once-ordinary county towns and villages saw their economies soar, becoming leading cities in the country, even surpassing many historically significant cities!
For instance, Zhengzhou surpassed the ancient capitals of Luoyang and Kaifeng, becoming the political and economic core of the entire province!
On a galactic scale, the "transportation hub effect" is even more pronounced.
The Milky Way contains approximately 100 billion stars, but there are only 100 hub planets!
This means that nearly 1 billion stars and all the civilizations they cover must share these 100 hubs!
Therefore, it was only natural that the economies of these hub planets would skyrocket.
Unsurprisingly, the 100 hub planets experienced rapid development and, in a very short time, their civilization development index far surpassed that of the native civilizations within their coverage areas!
...
This all occurred some 50 to 60 million years ago.
After tens of millions of years of development and expansion, the 100 hub planets have become the most prosperous and powerful planets in the galaxy.
In comparison, the native civilizations are now virtually negligible. Even the most advanced native civilization is far behind the weakest hub planet, lagging behind by more than 99%.
These 100 hub planets account for 99% of the galaxy's total economic output and the number of planetary-level and above powerhouses.
In essence, the combined might of all the hub planets represents the entirety of galactic civilization! And the Saint Silver Civilization has absolute control over these 100 hub planets.
Because of this absolute control, the Saint Silver Civilization has completely taken over the entire galaxy!
...
...
Su Yu knew all this, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
"Ah, Fig Hub, we're finally going there?" Su Yu closed his eyes, sighing.
He was feeling this way because he had known about this place for a long time. Su Yu was aware that if the humans of Blue Planet won the war against the Skrulls, they would inevitably need to interact with the hub planets, perhaps even establishing a stable teleportation portal.
But at the time, he hadn't given much thought to Fig Hub. After all, the outcome of the war against the Skrulls was still uncertain, and he had no time to worry about what would happen afterward.
It's like a middle school student who hasn't even started high school yet—how could they be thinking about college?
For Su Yu, the day of "going to college" had finally arrived! He was filled with a mix of emotions.
"Blue Whale," Su Yu asked softly, "When can I set out for Fig Hub?"
The AI Blue Whale replied, "We need to wait for Saint Com's interstellar teleportation service to become available."
"I know that," Su Yu's forehead twitched. "I just want to know when the service will be up and running."
All teleportation services in the galaxy are managed by Saint Com, one of the core companies under the Saint Song Corporation.
So, Saint Song would definitely know about Saint Com's operations.
"Very soon," Blue Whale answered. "In Blue Planet time, it should be about 7 days from now."
Su Yu nodded. "So, in 7 days, we can set out for Fig Hub."
"Correct. Administrator Su Yu, please make the necessary preparations."
"Preparations? What preparations do I need to make? Blue Planet has nothing, so I can go at any time."
"That's true. You don't need much preparation. Anything you might need can be purchased in Fig Hub."
"So, during these 7 days of waiting..." Su Yu looked around. "Is there nothing to do?"
"That's right, Administrator Su Yu," Blue Whale replied. "You don't have much to do during these 7 days. I suggest you enjoy this free time. It might be one of the few opportunities for rest in your remaining life."
"Remaining life..."
The AI's choice of words was a bit alarming. If Su Yu truly became a galactic-level being, his lifespan would be infinite. Would he never have time to rest in an infinite life? That would be terrifying!
However...
"I do need some rest!" Su Yu relaxed, lying comfortably on the cloud. "I've been busy for so long, it's time to unwind.
I'll rest for 7 days, and we'll deal with everything else later!"
