Warhammer 40k Origins Stellaris Civilization Simulator

The first traces of civilization on the desolate continent of Andod V were left by assembly plants. Now, with the help of automated robots produced in assembly plants, the planet is now covered with high-rise buildings.

In the pavilions and towers live the Federation citizens whose physical strength has been liberated by robot labor technology. They concentrate on the core industry planned by the Federation for this planet: cohesive production.

Cohesion is an indicator that quantitatively measures the ideological development of an entire civilization. Cohesion is the lifeblood of the traditional development of the federal civilization and the evolution of the ascension era. In order to establish new traditions and accurately convey them to every planet, a dedicated cohesion center is necessary.

Andod V has now presented a new traditional initiative to the entire Federation, asking the federal government to adopt it and promote it to every world.

The core of the new tradition includes the Federation people's earnest expectations for this new civilization and the positive influence they hope the Federation can convey to the entire universe. It is named Tianxia Datong.

The Great Peace of the World seeks complete understanding and absolute harmony within the entire interstellar alliance and among possible allies in the future.

The New Tradition seeks harmony in diversity, yet unity in unity. Our people are by no means entirely alike, but their mobility within the Federation's borders not only creates no friction, but also fosters closer ties. Therefore, every citizen is encouraged to travel the Federation, using practical experience to correct misunderstandings caused by stereotypes.

New people are a treasure to the Federation. The diverse perspectives offered by different species are invaluable to us. For example, without the Squid, we wouldn't have the unimpeded understanding we need to face psychic issues. We also believe that the galaxy's intelligent beings who support peace and cooperation should enjoy universal civil rights. They are filled with brilliant geniuses and heroes. Denying them a place in the Federation's civilization is to shut out wisdom and progress.

If we can finally do all that we have said, we will be what everyone wants, all evil and backward ideas will be banned from the minds of the people of the Federation, and our people will truly become perfect people with greatly developed consciousness and outstanding representatives of the achievements of the sociological evolution of the Milky Way.

The establishment of this series of new traditions will inevitably enable us to achieve practical and reliable social development and bring inspiration for a brand new era of ascension.

14. Past and Future

While the construction of the Interstellar Alliance's homeland was in full swing, the scientific expedition fleet also made new gains.

First of all, rare alien resources will have a positive impact on our future development.

A scientific expedition fleet discovered a special gas on a gas-rich planet. It possesses many amazing physical and chemical properties, making it indispensable for cutting-edge scientific experiments. This new resource has been named exotic natural gas, or high-energy gas.

In addition, on a planet with intense volcanic activity, they discovered a complex compound called explosive particles. These explosive particles are very small in size, but can release extremely strong energy. They are of great value in the development of explosive compounds, industrial and mining equipment, and military armament enhancement.

On a planet full of underground caves, we discovered some crystal mines with an intoxicating luster. This rare crystal can absorb and reflect light of various wavelengths, producing psychedelic visual effects and other mysterious physical properties.

The relevant information of these three materials was reported to the Federal Supreme Scientific Council as soon as possible and received high attention from the latter.

Research leaders in physics agree that progress in basic science depends heavily on the experience gained from large-scale experiments, while the progress of large-scale advanced experiments is constrained by materials science.

The discovery of new scientific materials and the subsequent mining attempts indicate that the Interstellar Alliance will soon be able to upgrade its scientific research system to a new stage.

If you know how to make neutron star materials, even if you use extremely inefficient methods to utilize them, they can still be countless times stronger than ordinary alloys with advanced optimized structures. Our starting point is very low, and we must catch up compared to other pioneers.

Then there are the regrettable myths of the past evoked by cosmic monuments.

The scientific expedition fleet discovered signs that intelligent life had once settled on a mountainous planet.

Due to the previous lessons, the scientific expedition fleet first activated the stealth program, and then began a series of covert detection activities to determine the other party's behavior patterns. Now the citizens of the Interstellar Alliance dare not rashly adopt an unconditional friendly attitude towards aliens.

But in the end, their efforts were proven to be in vain, because the other party was deaf and blind, and the various experiments of the Federation were like passing clouds. It was not that they were kind-hearted and tolerant, but that they could no longer respond.

The traces of that intelligent creature were at least ten thousand years old, and its "residents" had long since died.

On the ruins of what were once palaces, only giant stone statues remain. These statues resemble the true forms of the species that once established civilization there. Studies have shown that these statues contain carbon-based components, formed from the remains of those creatures through a special chemical transformation.

The builders of this ruin, the "Livains," were human-like creatures, towering 50 meters tall. They perished in self-despair, their visions and hopes for the universe shattered. They believed the real world was filled with anger, despair, betrayal, and indulgence, and the bright future they sought might never have existed.

Reconstruction of the scene reveals that at some point, this species completely ceased natural reproduction and, as a result, gradually became extinct under the care of automated machines. Its remains were then transformed into its current form by the remaining robots that had not yet ceased functioning, following their will. A record was left as a final testimony:

[We are tired of this crazy and foolish universe, and we choose to bid farewell to it, but visitors, I hope you will believe that beauty once existed. Although it is worthless in this universe, it did exist.]

After so many years, even the databases here have become obsolete. Even the expedition's most expert electronic information specialists could only find these, revealing this species' disappointment with the universe. Their despair is impossible to fully understand, but through our previous "experiences" with the soul and reality, we can vaguely sense the reason. Perhaps they believe that continuing to move forward into the future won't necessarily lead to a better life.

The scientific expedition team wandered around the cemetery of the Livan people for a long time. Looking at the lost expressions still on the stone statues, they felt the sadness of the ancients who had never seen them before. In the end, they could only leave the relevant records to the visitors from the mother planet.

The Archon team decided to collect these as a precious historical record, and then send troops to list the mountainous planet with a suitable environment as an area to be colonized.

Some pioneers eventually perished, but we do not want to be discouraged. Dragons, humans, and species will still survive, holding on to the hope for the future. Hope is a beautiful word. As long as we have it, everything will be fine in the end.

At the same time that everything ends, everything begins again.

Finally, there is the fire left by people in the past to benefit the future.

At the end of their voyage, the expedition team witnessed an incredible miracle, created by intelligent life using its own abilities to transform the universe. It was a lost "city planet," a planet completely urbanized, with all its original natural environment removed and reshaped, transformed into an urban area built by industrial systems.

Its artificial ecosystem, which has been specially transformed to be suitable for carbon-based organisms to live in, has a habitability of nearly 100% for any species in the Alliance, making it an extremely good choice for a new colony.

Although it is now deserted, transformed from a city planet into a relic planet full of ruins, its creator has been killed immediately, but it is still full of treasures. The largest treasure is in a well-preserved and strictly guarded base on the abandoned planet.

After finding the entrance to the data center and clearing a path through the ruins, reactivating and accessing the base's computer systems was surprisingly easy. Self-repairing circuits and self-learning algorithms quickly came online to restore limited functionality and begin communicating with our computers.

The reason soon became clear. The planet called Ostik V was once the capital of a mechanical empire known as the "Organic Codex".

Named after their dedicated purpose, this empire, composed of a mixture of robots and cyborgs, once attempted to obtain samples of all organic life in the galaxy in order to prevent it from being extinct in an unknown galactic catastrophe.

From extant records, we have gathered that this goal was not welcomed by the other galactic powers of their time, which ultimately led to a cosmic war and the destruction of the Organic Codex.

But they still left behind some precious legacies, the most important of which is the organic code that shares the same name as the empire.

The Organic Codex contains detailed genetic data on thousands of intelligent species that have ever inhabited the Milky Way. Our geneticists could use this data to resurrect an extinct species on one of our planets. However, because the Organic Codex itself is incomplete, the type of life they ultimately resurrect is completely random.

Even though it has such shortcomings, the achievements in genetic science it represents are something we admire. Preserving this relic will play a huge role in the advancement of genetic science in the entire interstellar alliance.

15. Rare normal experiences

"After all this time, an AI empire finally appears, and it's actually a pro-foreign militarist state. It's hard to say whether it fits in with the current context."

The Fourth Plague was satisfied with everything the universe had created to please it.

"But it's a good thing for me. After all, pro-foreign militarism won't necessarily start a war right away. Mysophobes and bee swarms, on the other hand, don't care about anything. Destroying a computer empire would really drag things out. You can tell from how I came in last in my last online match."

.........

Our journey in the universe is not just about harvesting corpses and enemies. Even in such a dark deep space, the light of civilization flickers.

It started with a vicious but friendly handshake. Our research ship discovered an emerging space civilization living on a jungle planet with a constant rain of toxic chemicals.

A large area of the entire planet is covered by highly toxic substances. These tenacious creatures developed civilization in areas with lower toxin concentrations and researched space navigation technology.

Despite their terrifying appearance and the chemical risk of contact, they weren't hostile. After discovering our research vessel, they sent us a string of binary code, seemingly a list of data translated into their language. Regardless, this strange alien species established diplomatic channels with us.

The research vessel stayed in the "Noxet" sector for several months, busy with diplomatic work with an alien civilization called the Nuta Fighting Clan.

This species's lifestyle is characterized by a dissonant blend of brutal violence and warmth. They are deeply committed to unconventional hand-to-hand combat, frequently engaging in non-lethal combat with their own kind. They even invited our expedition guards to participate in a "competition of honor," which was naturally rejected. However, in their daily lives, they are quite polite, showing no discrimination against other species, and their understanding of the basic principles of "cosmic humanism" coincides with ours.

According to the Nutan, over a thousand years ago, their species once shared their homeworld with a hostile force. Due to differences in their fundamental characteristics, the Nutan became increasingly entangled with these enemies, but they were the weaker party.

In a special natural disaster described by the Nuta in a mystical tone as the "Sacred Rain", they believed that the gods of their species appeared and destroyed the enemy that almost chased the Nuta to extinction with continuous rainfall that dissolved highly toxic substances.

The price of this glorious victory was that the planet Noxet was polluted to its current state. However, the Nutans tenaciously survived. They were born a toxic species that could live in a highly toxic environment. Later, they further adapted to this terrible environment by modifying their own genes.

The ancient feudal knight culture of the Nuta people and the disputes over habitable areas since the poisoning of the planet have led them to develop a unique set of knight traditions, deciding various major events through honor duels and considering this activity a great honor.

However, their current situation is not very good. Years of genetic modification have adapted them to highly toxic environments, but they have lost the ability to colonize normal planets. The toxic environment of their home planet has made all production activities difficult. Although they have entered space, their living standards are still stuck in the pre-space and even pre-industrial era.

The Noxian warrior clans themselves share this understanding, hoping to receive material assistance during negotiations and promising loyalty in return. Because they see "new friends who also value honor and possess martial virtue," we're sure we'll be able to get along with them.

So we reached a very cost-effective material aid agreement with them in exchange for the support of these poisonous knights. We will provide a large amount of food to solve the famine problem caused by the shortage of agricultural land for the Nuta race.

Honestly, we have to admire the adaptability of this species, which has managed to develop to the point where it almost falls into a Malthusian trap in this environment. In any case, this big deal has been negotiated, and our advanced hydroponic agricultural technology is more than enough to meet their requirements.

The Noxiant Battle Clan will now join the security pact initiated by the Federation. Both sides will foster closer economic, technological, and military exchanges, and the Noxiants will dispatch a knightly order to the Alliance's command. Furthermore, both sides will jointly develop research projects related to orbital habitat systems.

It was truly remarkable that after all these years, the Interstellar Alliance had finally made some allies that met his original expectations of cosmic civilization.

In addition to the inhabitants of normal planets, we also find gentle and peaceful races in the universe.

Not long ago, our scientific expedition fleet encountered a group of strange space creatures. They were nicknamed "space amoeba" by the public. Because the scientific name of these cosmic creatures is too difficult to pronounce, this nickname has become popular.

They are solitary organisms. Adult space amoebas are accompanied by semi-autonomous organisms called striatums. These striatums are produced by the space amoeba and controlled by secretions of liquid RNA.

They were once mistaken for the larvae of the Space Amoeba, but in fact, these strips do not contain reproductive organs. Each strip is more like a limb separated from the main body of the Space Amoeba. These strips can attack enemies within a certain range away from the main body, but they need to return to the Space Amoeba to be reprogrammed every once in a while.

The elegant and orderly circular motion of its stripes and thick outer skin have certain implications for our research on combat. "This flagellum is truly bizarre."

While we were tracking a space amoeba—we had to keep our distance because they try to feed on anything moving quickly—an accident occurred.

While passing over a gaseous planet that had been fed by a space amoeba, an unexplained biological reaction occurred. Upon inspection, it was discovered to be a young space amoeba, the mother of which had disappeared.

It's unclear why the young amoeba became solitary, but one thing is certain: it seems to have memorized the expedition's spacecraft. When the crew concluded their investigation of the gas giant, they discovered the amoeba was following them, and it seemed difficult to shake it off. The research director was intrigued by the amoeba's persistence.

The head of scientific research suggested to the Central Scientific Council that we let this young amoeba accompany us. He firmly believed that we could obtain valuable technological breakthroughs in breeding space behemoths from this amoeba, and also inspire the enthusiasm of our people.

"This thing is even kind of cute, isn't it?"

16. Peace and tranquility nourish the spirit and purify the soul

"It took me four ascensions to transform this empire, infected by the Rebirth Pool Universe, from a paraplegic, critically ill patient on the verge of insanity, into a normal person who can run and jump, and count to 6789 without losing consciousness. This is a dark universe filled with classical heroic tragedies and necessary choices and sacrifices, huh?"

After being tempted and rejected by the four major ascension options, he finally decided to play it safe first. There were many things to do, so he had to focus on the fourth disaster in politics and finally chose the advanced experience of the old world.

"The yin-yang fish is so cool! It's so much better than those skull and carrion-eating two-headed vulture flags."

.........

In the blink of an eye, another five years passed. Although the Federation's infrastructure was thriving, many new resources were being developed, and relations with the newly-acquainted ally, the Kingdom of the Knights of Noxet, were becoming increasingly harmonious, people were always shrouded in a sense of worry.

If there were no gods, Buddhas, or demons in this world, we could still dismiss many metaphysical thoughts as groundless superstitions and regard living a good life in this world as the ultimate standard of happiness.

But from the prophecies of the visionary prophet, we can understand that all is not so. Because we know too much, fear also lingers on our heads. If the place where the thing called the primordial spirit and soul should be is full of ghosts and monsters, then the things before our death are just a night of sleep.

But someone will eventually tell us that the path to liberation does not require external help. If Heaven's will is unkind, then I will replace it with my own heart, follow the righteous path, and I will be able to take responsibility alone.

It all started with our ill-fated relationship with the Illusion Prophet's territory. The existence of the virtual planet, or the Warp planet, inevitably had a serious impact on us.

Since the galaxy was discovered, some dragons and humans often woke up at night and said that they could see a purple planet that was light years away and did not emit any light.

All this is like a curse. A certain crisis has emerged within the alliance. We go to seek help from the Vision Prophet, hoping to find a way to curb this problem.

"I'm old and don't understand the true way." When we asked him how to curb the out-of-control of the soul and defeat the demons from the other world he once talked about, this extraordinary and mysterious sorcerer shook his head again and again.

He was unwilling to tell us, and lacked confidence that he could still teach in this class. He was but a drop in the ocean of souls, powerless to protect himself. Facing the curse of psychic awakening, the advice of his predecessors proved futile. This outcome disheartened us, but not everyone felt the same way.

"Then just tell us the method to get started, and we will study on our own from then on." A human scholar named Ruoken from the main planet of Helka made a request to the psychic mentor.

Originally, humans, like dragons, had very little decision-making power in matters related to psychic powers and were rarely allowed to have much exposure to psychic theory research.

After all, it is because they lose control too easily. There are many people in both races who suffer from strange diseases or even mental disorders just by staring at the psychic planet for a few seconds.

But this person was calm and composed, and never became absent-minded like other people in front of the psychic mentor.

The visionary prophet was very surprised by this, so he taught us the basic theory of psychic energy. This made us quite nervous, because human research on this kind of psychic technology always has extremely tragic results.

However, Ruoken showed no signs of abnormality, and his skills improved day by day. In the first stage, he was able to freely send out his spiritual power, causing others to have a therapeutic effect similar to the placebo effect.

But he soon hit a bottleneck and was extremely distressed about it. He proposed to use the federal political system to find a way to break through the barrier to entry.

The existence of the Interstellar Alliance is for the realization of citizens' values, not to mention the important scientific research work that benefits the souls of all people. All his requests have been met.

In the following years, he traveled around the major federation galaxies, visited the ruins of the ancient sages who discovered the Furnace of Origin, and returned to the City of Broken Shackles, the starting point of the former Helka Federation, to sit and practice under the Monument to Shattered Shackles.

A Draxite named Yulon admired Ruokhen's method and became his first travel companion. Whether they were practicing in the deep forest or galloping through space, the two of them never left each other's side.

Ten years passed, and they seemed to have made no progress. Apart from the initial manifestation of psychic powers, they had not achieved any results, and the people had given up hope.

It was not until the great founder of the first Federation and lifelong executive, Ashadron, was about to retire that the two ascetics appeared in the Consulate.

They finally understood the "universal knowledge" and the method of knowing how to do the right thing, and thus the path to peace and harmony was born.

The method of tranquility is a concrete explanation of the theory of reconciling the imbalances in the universe and leading to harmony, as well as a practical method of practice.

In Ninghe's theory, our universe has strayed far from its ideal state. The harmony of yin and yang, which prevented things from going to extremes and in which evil spirits were subdued by good spirits, prevented all beings from falling into evil views, has disappeared. In today's universe, evil spirits are collapsing, and good spirits are falling into demonic states.

To get everything back on track, or at least to rectify the world of the Interstellar Federation, peace must be restored. This is not easy. If the universe is harmonious, peace can be achieved simply by following one's heart within the rules. However, in a world that has become chaotic, drastic measures must be taken.

The way to peace and harmony concerns all aspects of society. The layout of buildings needs to comply with "feng shui", the words and deeds of the people should follow "propriety and righteousness", and the use of power should follow the "right way".

This series of sophisticated and complex theories has made strict regulations on our population ratio and lifestyle, architectural planning and military deployment. However, when all of these are realized, the entire federal jurisdiction area, namely "the world", will be able to achieve peace and eliminate the evil spirits that permeate the physical and mental world.

The philosophy of tranquility quickly proved its effectiveness in small-scale social experiments and was immediately rolled out across the Federation. Our people felt an invisible weight lift from their minds during this process, a sense of relief that freed them from the nightmares. Gifted individuals across the Federation no longer saw the strange purple star.

This also brought about progress in our social governance. The "demon souls and evil spirits" that were resolved by Ninghe, that is, the invisible distorting forces in the reality and soul realm, were transformed into positive influences that can contribute to the construction of the federation, and our social production capacity has been further improved.

Ninghe also influenced the Federation's original extreme liberal thought. The concept of "doing what you want without going beyond the rules" it promoted required people to get what they deserve and not create chaos for the sake of freedom. This was conducive to the normal promotion of many policies to control the influence of psychic energy.

The new Age of Ascension came to a successful conclusion when Archon Ashardron voted to grant Ruoken and Yu'lon the title of Grand Master and declared the Way of Tranquility the new official philosophy of the Federation.

Perhaps one day, this harmony will be brought to the entire universe, so that all living beings will no longer be trapped by evil ways, but not today.
