Zhang Yuan surfed the Internet with relish for a long time. According to the regulations, he currently does not have the right to speak, only the right to browse, but this is enough, with the mentality of a bystander to understand this human alliance, he can see more clearly.

For him, it was quite interesting.

If I have to describe it, the online atmosphere here is somewhat similar to the atmosphere of Earth civilization when the "Earth Era" first set off......

It's not bad, it's a somewhat self-motivated civilization.

However, compared with the new human civilization, there is still some room for improvement.

There are all kinds of topics on the Internet, and there are many people who are discussing the development of battle stars, the construction of spaceships, the screening of the population of the virtual world, and how to solve the problems of earth civilization if you really have curvature technology.

Some people think that they should fight directly and take over the other party's regime, with curvature technology and a battle star, it is no longer a problem to crush the earth's civilization. There are also those who feel that this issue should be resolved through political means, and that force is not advisable.

As far as Zhang Yuan himself is concerned, on the side of the earth civilization, if it can be solved, it will be solved as much as possible; If it really can't be solved, and the people of the earth are unwilling, then there is no way to do it.

The twisted melon is not sweet, if the earthlings are looking for their own degeneration, then what can other civilizations do? It's like if a person is willing to be poor, how can other people help him?

Overall, the people here speak more politely, not too aggressively, and the level of sanity is not bad, and the group IQ is about 100.

Zhang Yuan sighed, a normal, three-level civilization without too many adventures is exactly like this, science and technology are in a state of stagnation for a long time, and can only rely on various large projects to "continue life", hoping to use time to accumulate good results.

But if you want to maintain this equilibrium for a long time, it is very difficult, and in the process of stagnation, the group IQ slowly declines.

The greatest principle of the universe is "movement", and if you don't go up, you will go down. As far as human ideology is concerned, if there is no scientific and technological progress for a long time, the masses of the people will gradually degenerate, and many people will feel that science and technology are not very advanced anyway, and it is nothing to be lazy.

But if everyone thinks like this, even the transcendent will have a hard time stopping this depravity.

Therefore, no one knows how long this dangerous equilibrium can be maintained, and it can only be maintained by various factors such as the continuous progress of science and technology, the discovery of some sunken people, and the education of the people.

"With the technology we gifted, it should be able to last for a long time."

……

At the same time that Zhang Yuan was inspecting this human alliance, an internal confidential meeting appeared on this planet. All the leaders of the three branches of civilization who participated in this meeting were leaders with real power.

And the meeting place is inside the Battle Star, the safest place. There are no high-tech devices here, and the only advantage is security.

"Let's get straight to the point, what do you think of the envoy of the Kunlun Mountain branch?" An old man with gray hair said.

He sat on the round conference table in the direction of the door, and the expression on his face was not angry.

"I didn't find anything suspicious for the time being, and it didn't look like an alien pretending...... If it's really an alien pretending, we can't even figure out the other party's motive for doing so. ”

"They are really friendly and capable, and they have helped us achieve a lot of results. Simply estimated, the research ability of one person is more than six hundred top experts on our side! ”

Six hundred?

This number made everyone's face change.

Zhang Yuan's behavior seems to be to say hello and say a few words, completely out of the friendship of homologous human beings. If they had to follow the last conspiracy theory, they really couldn't think of a reasonable logic.

"Is that curvature spaceship really going to be let go? A ready-made spaceship...... Also, can this fifth-level civilization transformer be suppressed and studied? One of the leaders said a little unwillingly. What they are most concerned about now is curvature technology, and without warp speed, it will always be only a third-level civilization.

Although Zhang Yuan claimed to send the curvature technology to them, who knows the final result?

For them, this ready-made curvature ship is real.

Coupled with Zhang Yuan himself, it is also real.

"Old Tang, this amoeba faction's spaceship, we really dare to grab it? How much trouble will it get if you rob it? And the other party may not have no countermeasures, and the risks, as you should know, are not cost-effective. ”

Although the amoeba faction is evacuating from the galaxy, the entire evacuation process will last tens of thousands of years.

In the short term, the influence of this faction remains.

"And with just one spaceship, even if you get it, the difficulty of reverse engineering is too great to crack. What's more, the Kunlun Mountain branch is much stronger than ours...... Why should you offend the other person? ”

At this point in the discussion, the leader of the human branch of the Earth Age also stood up and spoke: "Everyone, listen to me first. This Mr. Zhang Yuan did show enough kindness. He even allowed our scientists, on the curvature spacecraft, to conduct a series of expeditions. Anyway, I definitely don't approve of such egregious behavior as ship snatching or hostage-taking. ”

"Resolutely opposed!"

"How stupid is it that we really annoy a fifth-level civilization with good intentions that is a human being? How stupid would it take for someone to come up with such a solution? ”

There was silence in the conference room for a moment, and someone said, "The other party will really give us curvature technology?" Do you know that the other person has good intentions? ”

"I don't know, but they went to great lengths to get here, so they couldn't have come to show us off, right?"

"Professor Fang, what do you think of it?"

The team led by Professor Fang has had a lot of contact with Zhang Yuan these days, and has long been impressed by the super high thinking speed. He thought for a moment and said, "This is definitely a civilization that is tens of thousands of times stronger than us. What we can only accomplish in a year, the other party can complete in a day, in this case, what do we have here to covet the other party? ”

"Hold the other party down and help us with the research? Then the other party has to be willing? ”

Another leader said uncomfortably: "What if the other party is not the Kunlun Mountain branch, but an alien pretending?" ”

"It doesn't look like ...... If the other party is really stronger than us and takes a fancy to something, it will be over if you plunder it directly; If the other party is weaker than us, any intrigue is useless...... Anyway, the other party can't be weaker than us! I'm telling the truth! Don't discuss any conspiracy theories! ”

Just when everyone's brains were open and their imagination was completely used, the old man sitting in the middle coughed twice and said, "Since you are not going to target this somewhat strange Kunlun Mountain human, you should not think about it so much. ”

"If you come, you will be safe. We have to admit our weakness. ”

"Next topic, what kind of technology do we need? Which representatives are sent to the so-called information outposts? ”

"These 10 people must be prepared accordingly, and they must also be prepared to take risks."

This topic is naturally more interesting to everyone, and soon you will talk about it, and I will discuss it word by word......

……

Time passed day by day, and soon, Zhang Yuan stayed in this human alliance for six months, and his life was very comfortable.

Compared with the new human beings who are about to become a fifth-level civilization, this human alliance is undoubtedly much more mediocre, but compared to more other third-level civilizations, the spiritual outlook is quite good, and there is still some room for improvement in the future.

During this period, he also helped the humans here and upgraded the auxiliary brain technology, which can be regarded as a good technological breakthrough.

After recording what he saw and heard, Zhang Yuan finally sent out his own invitation: "Dear compatriots, I have been staying here for six months, and I already have a certain understanding of your civilization. I would like to lead some delegates to the information and communication station of the amoeba faction to report back to my civilization. ”

"When we get there, we'll give you a little bit of a gift, especially when it comes to technology. Ask your alliance to send some intellectuals who can make decisions, ten corresponding scientists or relevant leaders. ”

Here it comes!

This invitation finally got all the senior leaders of the Human Alliance excited, and they knew what it really meant!

After careful selection, three people from each of the three human branches, plus Pei Ming, the chairman of the alliance, also participated in this event.

In fact, the position of chairman of the alliance has no substantive power, but it is a little more famous and has some influence at the civilian level. But if the representatives of the three parties really quarrel over something that is difficult to decide, it is good for him to act as an intermediary to adjust it.

After the decision was completed, Zhang Yuan took the 10 humans and re-boarded the curvature spacecraft.

It was the first time for these people to ride the curvature spaceship of other civilizations, and they were all curious about it, and they looked around, but they were a little cautious, for fear that they would accidentally break it.

One of the professors sighed: "Our scientists have already inspected this spacecraft, and the other equipment is nothing, even if there is a little gap in quality, it is not impossible to catch up." But there's no way to start with curvature engines, and hey, it's said that reverse engineering is not feasible. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Yes, it is extremely difficult to crack the warp speed through reverse engineering. If there are a thousand of these ships, maybe you can try to disassemble them, there is only one ship, it doesn't make much sense......"

"Mr. Zhang, how is your most advanced civilization spaceship compared to this one?" Someone asked curiously.

"It's about the same speed, all of them can reach 10 times the speed of light, but our best ship is a little more maneuverable than this one overall."

"Ten times the speed of light, tsk...... How many places can you go when you have warp speed! ”

When everyone thinks of the future scenario with curvature technology, the mentality is even more complicated......

Zhang Yuan saw that these people were a little restrained in the spaceship, and said: "Let's talk casually, anyway, the spaceship is not big, there are only a few people, there is nothing to be polite." We're probably going to be here for a long time. ”

"After that, you can hibernate and you can stay awake...... However, I still recommend that you hibernate because it takes 1 year and 2 months to reach your destination. ”

"The interstellar journey is actually very boring, this spaceship is too small, there is no entertainment function, there is not even a gym, it is too easy to get bored."

"Mr. Zhang, don't you need to rest?"

Zhang Yuan recovered: "In my current state, I can have fun for myself, and I can study any topic, and I don't feel too bored." As for rest...... In general, you don't choose to take a break. ”

Pei Ming sighed with emotion: "This is really out of the category of human beings, I don't know when we will be able to get to this point." It's hard to imagine a state of being motionless and working for a year. ”

"Whether it's good or bad, sometimes, when I see this state, I still have a faint fear."

After everyone got acquainted with it, they found that Zhang Yuan was actually quite good at talking, and they began to have different opinions, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. Anyway, there is only a little space in the spaceship, and if you don't chat, it's too boring.

"Fear? Why do I have fear, but I envy this ability. It would be great if we could really see the human branch of Kunlun Mountain in the future...... You can also communicate with each other. ”

But are you willing to abandon most of your emotions and re-establish a new philosophical mechanism? What's the difference between this and being dead? ”

In just a moment, the two sides have been divided into two different factions of thought, Zhang Yuan smiled, this is no different from the new human civilization.

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Regarding thinking modification, this step is not easy to take, and we will provide you with some information." But you know, in my current state, I have lost some of my human emotions, and I am completely different from my original self. ”

"Are you willing to do that? Not only you, but also the masses in society need to make this choice. If the majority of the people oppose it, the plan will not succeed. ”

Everyone was silent, this question was too far away for them......

The curvature spacecraft took off slowly, and soon disappeared from the view of the Human Alliance.

Watching the starlight outside the window gradually disappear, Pei Ming was a little nervous in his heart, and he asked again, "How great is the superiority of the fifth-level civilization?" Compare the ...... of the fourth-level civilization Is there a possibility of a war between the two sides? If our alliance encounters a fifth-level civilization, what will be the final result? ”

This is an issue of great concern to everyone.

Zhang Yuan replied: "It can only be said that there is no way to compare the two. If your alliance encounters a true fleet of a tier 5 civilization, it may be crushed in a matter of hours. ”

How many hours?!

This result was greatly unexpected, they were a third-level civilization with battle stars, how could they be wiped out in a few hours?!

"From what we know so far, this is a qualitative change."

"A hundred fourth-level civilizations combined, they can't defeat the real fifth-level civilization. In fact, the fourth-level civilization can't beat a detector of the fifth-level civilization, and any digital virus will paralyze the fourth-level civilization. ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Yuan recounted the war between the new humans and the Aleph civilization probe.

"When it comes to fighting, the superiority is manifested in two points: the first is the acceleration of thinking, a superhuman can complete the same math test paper in less than a minute, and as a result, ordinary humans have just finished reading the first question. In the midst of war, it became an overwhelming reaction speed. ”

"The destructive power of the cosmic war is extremely high, and it is likely to end in a short period of time, and it is comparable to the reaction speed of artificial intelligence, which must be beneficial."

"The second is the thought jump, all the robots in this spaceship can upload their consciousness. In other words, I can control any robot remotely at will. ”

"The size of a spaceship, this superiority is actually not reflected. But if you zoom in to one planet, the superiority will be incomparably outstanding! I can remotely control from one end of the planet to the other. ”

Pei Ming nodded seriously and said, "Understood." Not to mention the incredible technology of the fifth-level civilization, the superiority of the individual alone will throw off the fourth-level civilization by a large margin. ”

"In fact, it's not just about war, it's also about all aspects of life, I want to do a physical experiment, but the laboratory is on the other side of the planet, if it becomes a fifth-level civilization, it can be directly attached to the relevant robot, saving the process of transportation."

"It's the same with meetings and exchanges, even in a virtual space."

"In the event of war, you can exert more powerful performance......

"All of this adds up, and there's really no comparison."

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "You are right, in our imagination, the communication between individuals between the fifth-level civilizations is no longer limited to reality, but can be in the virtual world. ”

"We're building a global data center where everyone's sense of self can be stored. If necessary, you can always attach yourself to one of the robots in reality and interfere with reality. ”

"The way of communication is no longer limited to words and words, but can directly exchange data in the mind, just like a computer. These are all in development, and it may take thousands, or even tens of thousands, of years, to make them very difficult modules. ”

"After that, humanity may no longer look like the original human."

One of the scientists was stunned for a long time before he exclaimed: "It's incredible." ”

They were a little lost, in their opinion, the Kunlun Mountain Human Branch was really powerful, a bit too much...... In comparison, the sum of the three human branches is not as good as a fraction of that of Kunlun Mountain.

Some people even had the idea of joining each other, and quickly snuffed it out......

Zhang Yuan answered almost all the questions, and for his current thoughts, almost all of them were open.

To become a fifth-level civilization, not only is the scientific and technological strength enough, but also a lot of internal factors, if you can help a little now, just help a little as much as possible.

After a week, the ten people could no longer think of anything they wanted to ask, and they had finished talking about all the topics they could say......

Over the next few days, there was a flurry of boredom. In the curvature environment, all the starlight is concentrated in one point in front of you, and the surroundings are completely dark, and you get tired of watching this scene for half an hour.

In addition, all kinds of topics are almost exhausted, and the boring waiting days seem to be very long.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and went into hibernation......

"Humans are so fragile, Mr. Zhang, and we'll see you in a year." Pei Ming smiled bitterly and said that he was going to hibernate too.

He waved goodbye to Zhang Yuan.

"Goodbye, be able to understand your state of mind. The current environment is indeed very boring. ”

A year and two months passed quickly......

When they were reawakened by Zhang Yuan, they found that the spaceship was about to reach its destination.

At the beginning of hibernation, the body did not listen to the call, and lay down for nearly a week before gradually returning to normal.

At this moment, the communication base station has finally arrived.

This signal communication station is not large, located near the cosmic string, and its artificial intelligence is constantly broadcasting to the outside world: [This is the Amoeba faction information communication station, trading first-hand information about the galaxy, whether it is technology, trade or civilization information, can be exchanged here. 】

"Curvature sailing is really magical, such a long distance, just over a year, to reach."

A senior scientist looked at it curiously, compared the starry sky, and confirmed that he had traveled more than ten light years away.

This scene aroused their curiosity and desire even more. Because in a little while, they'll be able to have this technology too!

He added: "For so many years, we don't seem to have encountered such an information station, which is really insightful. If you want to contact you in the future, you can squat here, we seem to have dozens of amoeba points that have not been spent! ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Although the amoeba faction has put a lot of signal stations, they are distributed throughout the galaxy, which is still quite sparse, and it is normal if they are not encountered. Here, you can use amoeba points to buy some information, and you can also contact other civilizations through faster-than-light communication. ”

These people are helpless, dozens of amoeba points can be used to contact at most once, so they will not be easily spent.

Then a thought invariably arose again in my heart: "The world after the fifth-level civilization is really ...... It's fascinating. ”

If it weren't for the Kunlun Mountain Human Branch that first came into contact with this world, they might never have known.

But when you think about it carefully, there is an even worse branch of the earth civilization, so there is a little psychological comfort.

The curvature spacecraft slowly docked to the edge of the platform, and the artificial intelligence inside automatically handled the relevant procedures.

[Identity is being confirmed, please ...... later] Confirm success. 】

The faster-than-light communication system has developed to a very sophisticated level, and remote video can also do it, but in order to save the transmission of information, Zhang Yuan still chooses the simplest text dialogue.

The ball of light lit up slightly, and everyone became very expectant.

"There are about 3.2 units of data transmission redundancy, have you figured out what technology you want?"

The 10 people nodded hurriedly, this topic has been discussed too many times in the past period.

Curvature technology is a must, this is the top priority, life extension technology, artificial intelligence and other general directions, they also want, but limited to the lack of data transmission, can only choose a few short and concise technology, including the defense of digital viruses, the development direction of human intelligence and so on.

After getting the confirmation, Zhang Yuan entered a series of texts into the system: "Dear New Human Civilization, hello, I am Zhang Yuan, and I have successfully completed the task. THE IDENTITY KEY IS QOS124...... (a series of passwords to verify identity)"

About an hour later, the ball of light responded, "Dear Mr. Zhang Yuan, I'm glad you're back. We have received your request and ask that you be prepared to receive it accordingly. ”

Since there is a charge for every conversation transmission, everyone is very frugal and tries to make a long story as short as possible.

After about half a day, a steady stream of data was transmitted from a distant area!

Everyone's faces were flushed, and they couldn't bear the surprise, Zhang Yuan looked at the data, it should be the corresponding technology, and there won't be too many mistakes.

After about an hour, the transmission of information basically came to an end, and the remaining data capacity had to transmit Zhang Yuan's self-consciousness back, so it could no longer be used to transmit technology.

Several scientists have already begun to comment feverishly, and their personal terminals have received the data.

"Yes...... I see! This formula turned out to be like this, I get it, haha, I get it! A physicist said feverishly, and the whole person was trembling slightly.

"It's definitely right, even if there's no way to prove it experimentally right now, my gut tells me it's right!"

"And here...... Over here! ”

They don't even care about the current occasion, they are already immersed in it.

Zhang Yuan saw their joyful appearance, and his heart was also sincerely happy, this emotion was just like when he got a Bozman quantum consciousness converter from the "Ita" of the Gaia civilization, he could understand.

"Hopefully, these technologies will make you a little better; I also hope that after you become stronger, you can find a way to solve the problems of the earth's civilization; I hope that we will meet one day in the future, and through this outpost, we can be contacted. ”

"Just let this curvature ship send you back, and I won't go there again."

"I'm about to return to our civilization through consciousness teleportation, so let's say goodbye here......"

These people were stunned for a moment, and there was a very subtle sense of reluctance, even if the two sides didn't get along for a long time, they all knew that the person in front of them was an object worthy of dependence.

However, there is no feast in the world, even if it is a friend, there must always be a separate day.

Everyone is an independent civilization, and whether it is good or bad, it always has to rely on its own strength to go on.

After a long time, Pei Mingcai, chairman of the alliance, said on behalf of everyone: "Dear Mr. Zhang Yuan, we are very grateful to you, and thank you for your generosity of civilization. ”

Those enthusiastic scientists also put down the computers in their hands and bowed long to Zhang Yuan to express their gratitude.

This gift is too heavy to be described in mere words.

Before boarding the curvature spacecraft, Pei Ming said firmly: "Actually, our entire alliance cannot guarantee to solve the problems of earth civilization...... But I can push this as much as I can. ”

"I do, too!" Everyone responded, and suddenly, tears flowed uncontrollably. In the dim starry sky, far away, there is still a powerful fire, whenever I think of it, people's hearts are filled with the driving force to move forward.

It's a fact.

Pei Ming bowed again and said loudly: "Moreover, we are still a civilization that yearns for greatness...... Even if we're not great now......"

"May your civilization always progress!"

"May your civilization always progress!"

Watching the spaceship slowly leave, Zhang Yuan waved his mechanical arm vigorously, and a very subtle emotion arose in his heart.

All the tasks are over......

Goodbye, friends, compatriots.

Good bye!

(PS: That's all for today, counting yesterday's update!) A new month has begun, and it should also be the last month of the Wandering Fleet, I hope you can vote for the monthly ticket recommendation and keep a good term, thank you! ）
