Stellar Geography · The Interstellar Transportation Routes of the Human World and the Territorial Forms of Stellar Nations

Inheritance improvement, compared to other methods, relies more on luck, as its primary approach is to develop into the nourishment of one's own civilization through the analysis of relics from advanced civilizations

This territorial distribution initially posed no significant issues, but as interactions increased, conflicts escalated. This was also a reason for the intensifying internal strife within the early human world, aside from the struggles against extraterrestrial civilizations. It was not until the establishment of the Twelve Great Nations, which unified vast expanses of space, that the geopolitical landscape of the human world became somewhat stabilized

There are many modes of interstellar transportation, which are related to astronautics. However, compared to methods such as faster-than-light travel and space jumping, the Stargate, which connects distant points through subspace channels, is a more economical, convenient, and safe means of interstellar transportation

Also due to inheritance, humanity, at the dawn of its journey into the universe, expanded vast regions of space through well-preserved subspace corridors, gaining living space. Of course, there were drawbacks; after encountering many alien civilizations prematurely, humanity suffered significant losses and even faced the brink of extinction. However, after enduring these challenges, humanity finally secured a place in the starry world

However, the drawbacks of this mode of transportation are not limited to uncertainty; there is also the interlocking nature of national territories. Under this mode of transportation, the expansion of various countries becomes centered around the gateway to the starry sky, resulting in a relatively fragmented distribution of territory.

In addition to the interstellar subspace transportation routes established by the Stargate, there are also transportation routes within planetary systems (such as from Earth to the Moon, and from Earth to Mars), as well as transportation routes between planetary systems (generally in the regions radiating from the Stargate, that is, between two adjacent planetary systems) and so on

Certainly, there are also instances where more advanced civilizations generously assist less advanced civilizations, which can take the form of gifts or learning.

Warfare and plunder often occur between civilizations that are relatively similar, but there are also instances where a civilization, having advanced in certain technological aspects yet lacking in military strength, is defeated and plundered by a less developed civilization

However, such behavior often occurs between two civilizations with significant disparities, much like the relationship between ancient China's Tang dynasty and Japan. Japan sent envoys to learn from the Tang, and the Tang did not impose any blockades. Yet, from a broader perspective, if the chosen counterpart is inappropriate, it may lead to counterproductive effects. There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends among nations; if differences cannot be reconciled to form a unified entity, the essence of civilization will inevitably be competition, and even war.

The interstellar transportation routes of the human world are primarily attributed to the star gates left behind by a certain advanced ancient civilization

Humanity is fortunate; the Stargate and interstellar transportation routes are derived from the inheritance of good fortune and have been improved upon

In the universe, apart from self-developing original civilizations, the fastest way to progress is to stand on the shoulders of giants, which means leveraging the achievements of other civilizations. Generally speaking, there are five avenues: warfare and plunder, exchange, gifting, learning, and inheritance and improvement

Exchanges primarily occur between civilizations of equal status, conducted through political exchanges, economic exchanges, special exchanges, and so forth. Of course, there are also unequal exchanges conducted through coercion by force
