Chapter 1342: 1262, Origin of Hub Planet Chapter 1342: 1262, Origin of Hub Planet When setting up these 100 “Hub Planets,” the Holy Silver Civilization did not choose habitable planets that had already developed civilizations, but rather, they chose barren planets that were in the habitable zone but devoid of any vegetation.
For instance,
if a Hub Planet was to be established in the Solar System, but Blue Star already had life, they would not choose Blue Star.
According to the style of the Holy Silver Civilization, they would turn Mars into a “Hub Planet.”
The main reason was to start from scratch, to construct from the ground up.
At first, these Hub Planets were desolate with no living creatures.
The Holy Silver Civilization spent a considerable amount of time and effort, using greenhouse gases to modify the planets, eventually turning them into habitable worlds.
(It's worth mentioning that Mars could also be transformed using greenhouse gases. If greenhouse effects were created on Mars, it too could be transformed into a planet suitable for biological habitation.)
The “Hub Planet transformation” project took a long time, a few million years for the shorter projects, and even up to twenty or thirty million years for the longer ones.
At the time, the native civilizations of the Milky Way did not understand this and even ridiculed the Holy Silver Civilization for “wastefully spending resources.”
People did not understand why the Holy Silver Civilization would bother to modify planets rather than using perfectly good habitable ones.
However, after the completion of the “Hub Planet transformation” project, the native civilizations watching the excitement realized they were wrong, and grossly so!
After the transformation of the Hub Planets, the Holy Silver Civilization deployed a large number of Holy Silver Human Race to these planets.
They came for one purpose–to build gates!
Specifically, they were tasked with creating super long-distance transport gates that could traverse galaxies and also construct transport gates between the Hub Planets and the various native civilizations of the Blue Star.
The “Gate Building Plan” also continued for nearly ten million years.
After the interstellar transport gates were completed, the elites, materials, and trade goods of the Silver Star System could freely arrive in the Milky Way;
after the transport gates to the Milky Way natives were completed, like a spider's web, the entire Milky Way was connected!
And these Hub Planets.
If the native civilizations of the Milky Way wanted to trade or communicate with other native civilizations or even with civilizations of the Silver Star System, these Hub Planets became the necessary pathways and true transport hubs!
As everyone knows, the development of major transport hubs is very rapid!
Let's take Blue Star's Huaxia Nation as an example.
In ancient Huaxia, places like Zhengzhou, Zao Zhuang, Shijiazhuang… were just ordinary county towns, even villages.
But, with the onset of industrial society, because of railway intersections, these places became important transport hubs.
And being important transport hubs meant rapid economic growth!
These ordinary county towns and villages saw exponential economic growth, becoming leading cities in the country, and their prosperity even surpassed many neighboring historic cities!
For example, Zhengzhou surpassed two ancient capitals, Luoyang and Kaifeng, to become the political and economic center of the entire province!
Seeing it from the scale of the entire Milky Way, this “transport hub effect” is even more significant.
The Milky Way has up to 100 billion stars, but there are only these mere 100 transport hubs!
That is to say, nearly 1 billion stars covering all civilizations could only share this one transport hub!
Therefore, it was only logical for these Hub Planets' economies to skyrocket.
The 100 Hub Planets also unsurprisingly developed rapidly and, in a very short time, their civilization development indexes far surpassed those of the native civilizations within their coverage!
This was all from fifty or sixty million years ago.
After another fifty or sixty million years of development and expansion, the 100 Hub Planets had already become the most prosperous and powerful 100 planets in the Milky Way.
By comparison, those former native civilizations were negligible.
To this day, the development level of the most formidable native civilization was far below that of the poorest Hub Planet, not even amounting to 1% of the latter.
These 100 Hub Planets accounted for 99% of the entire Milky Way's economic volume and the number of individuals above planet-level strength.
It can be said that all the Hub Planets together represented the entire civilization of the Milky Way!
And the Holy Silver Civilization had 100% control over these 100 Hub Planets.
It was precisely because of their control over the Hub Planets that the Holy Silver Civilization completely controlled the entire Milky Way!
Su Yu was aware of all this knowledge, but now, he felt somewhat emotional.
“Ah, Fige Hub, I'm finally going, huh?” Su Yu squinted his eyes.
The reason he sighed was that he had known about this place a long time ago.
Su Yu knew–if the Blue Star Humans won the war against the Skrull people, post-war it would be unavoidable to deal with the Hub Planets and even establish stable transport gates.
But knowing was one thing; back then, he hadn't really taken Fige Hub to heart.
After all, with the outcome against the Skrull people still undetermined, where would he find the mood to think about future matters concerning Fige Hub?
It was like an ordinary middle school student not yet in high school wouldn't bother contemplating the scenario of attending university.
Now, for Su Yu, the day of “going to university” had finally arrived!
Therefore, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
“Blue Whale,” Su Yu softly asked, “when can I possibly set off for Fige Hub?”
AI Blue Whale answered, “You'll need to wait until Saint Channel Company's interstellar transport service is available.”
“I know,” Su Yu said with a vein popping on his forehead, “I was just asking when the interstellar transport service will be available?”
All of the Milky Way's transport gate operations were managed by Saint Channel Company, which was one of the core companies under hymn.
“Very soon,” AI Blue Whale answered, “converting to Blue Star time, that's about 7 days.”
Su Yu nodded, “So, that means we can go to Fige Hub in 7 days.”
“Yes, please Administrator Su Yu, be sure to make timely preparations.”
“Preparations, what have I got to prepare? Blue Star has nothing; I can leave at any time.”
“That's true, you don't really need to prepare, anything needed can be bought at Fige Hub.”
“So, during these waiting 7 days…” Su Yu looked around, “there's really nothing to do?”
“Yes, Administrator Su Yu,” AI Blue Whale answered, “you truly have nothing to do these 7 days. My advice is to thoroughly enjoy this leisure time; it might be a rare break for the rest of your life.”
“Rest of my life…”
The way AI Blue Whale phrased it was quite alarming; if Su Yu really became a galaxy-level existence, that necessarily meant an infinite lifespan.
In an infinite life, would there really be no time to rest? That was terrifying!
But it made sense.
“It's time for a good rest indeed!” Su Yu struck a relaxed pose and comfortably lay above the clouds, “After being busy for so long, it's time I took some serious relaxation.
Rest for seven days, and let the future's matters be dealt with in the future!”
