"They're finally gone."

"yes, the aliens are gone......"

Several white orangutans looked at the alien spaceship that was rapidly moving away, and after the final crisis was resolved, their mood gradually relaxed, and they talked and laughed with each other.

This time they have gained too many benefits, and in the future, they will definitely be able to develop rapidly for a while!

Thinking of the huge dividends brought by the development of science and technology, the heart of every orangutan becomes hot...... Even if it is a civilization of the sunken, the development of science and technology is always good. Technological development means a bigger pie.

Moreover, there are not many high-end talents in their entire civilization, and it will take a long, long time to digest these technologies, so in the future, cooperation is greater than competition in this civilization.

One of the Lenino people seemed to think of something: "By the way, the alien gave us a gift...... Say it's a little gift at the end. ”

"What gift?"

"Just open it and see."

"Don't be careless! What are the risks? ”

The Lenino returned to a safe room and carefully placed the box on the table, looking so nervous that they could even hold their breath......

Immediately after that, another robot was dispatched to the safe room.

There was a soft "click" and the box was opened.

They were surprised to find that it was just a beautiful postcard and nothing else. The card depicts the appearance of Earth, the home planet of mankind, a blue planet similar to Lenino.

There is also a series of text written on the back of the postcard.

"Dear Lenino civilization, thank you for your kind hospitality. Your beautiful planet reminds us of the once warm home planet and the people who lived on it. We don't know how their lives are going, so we can only be here and wish them all the best. ”

"Thank you also for having a great time. Our students received a good education here, and the sociologist's expedition went very well. ”

"Traveling in the stars is like that, we don't reach our destination, we never know what stories await us ahead."

"Sometimes we think it would be nice if we could keep traveling like this......

"Finally, I have some not-so-wonderful news for you: the political landscape of the galaxy is changing dramatically, and even our interstellar alliance is just a grain of sand in the Great Era. Or rather, we are just refugees. ”

"I'm sorry to tell you that if your civilization can't leave its home planet within a thousand years, there is a high probability that it will suffer the fate of assimilation."

The following text briefly describes the state of the Alev civilization and what exactly is the concept of "assimilation".

"Assimilation?"

"There is an even more powerful civilization that has come back to occupy our planet?!"

The orangutans were silent for a long time, and then brought the news out with a look of horror.

They don't know whether this news is true or not, but even if it is a 1 in 10,000 probability, it is a real extermination event!

A fifth-level civilization is coming!

……

Of course, humans don't care what these Leniño people will do with the last little gift, whether they will end up drunk and dream of dying for a thousand years, or seize the time to develop themselves. Whatever they choose, it has nothing to do with humans.

"A thousand years is too short, if you can't have curvature technology, you won't be able to escape far in the end, and you will still be assimilated by the Alev civilization."

"So I think there's a good chance they're going to live the same life as before...... Even if we have told them the news. ”

At this point in the discussion, everyone in the spaceship nodded and sighed.

A thousand years is very short, and a thousand years is a long time, far beyond the lifespan of a generation of the Lenino civilization, and it is basically impossible for this civilization to tighten its belts and develop science and technology...... It's a fact.

When the last diplomats returned, the engineers unloaded box after box of goods. It included a large number of insects, as well as a small number of Leño people, all of whom were frozen and lying in hibernation boxes.

These are the harvests of humanity in these two years.

"Professor Zhang, this group of indigenous people should be enough, right?"

"Enough is enough, counting the first few batches, there are a total of five thousand people, enough ......"

Zhang Yuan looked at the natives in the hibernation warehouse and sighed, he felt like a dark wizard manipulating souls. There were many natives experimenting, and the other people looked at him a little strangely......

But what can be done? It's impossible to experiment with your own people, right?

Sacrificing some natives who have broken their heads by taking drugs is already the limit of human morality......

Zhang Yuan looked at the various huge insects locked in the glass room, among which there were two different intelligent species, these insects were curiously looking at the surrounding environment.

He smiled and asked, "This is the intelligent hive thinking species, how intelligent are they?" ”

A professor who specializes in insects said: "Normally, they don't come on board voluntarily, but are forcibly caught by us. ”

"According to the current research and investigation, the intelligence of this hive thinking is about 70, and it can learn some of our words in front of it, and can learn to count, but to what extent it can grow, don't expect too much."

"That's ......"

Zhang Yuan was slightly disappointed, but he was quickly relieved, how can human beings have such good luck to find a random species, that is, a super species with potential?

The professor asked, "What about you, with enough experimental materials, do you have the confidence to overcome the final difficulty?" ”

"You mean thinking faster?"

"yes."

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Thinking accelerates, there is no big problem in theory, after all, we have virtual world technology, and we have overcome the biggest difficulty of uploading thinking." In a hundred years, no, it only takes fifty or sixty years for this technology to really mature......"

Thinking acceleration is already the ultimate big step in the entire engineering system towards the fifth level of civilization.

If this big step is taken, human beings will realize self-transformation at any time and complete the intellectual leap.

As long as there is a leap in intelligence, then all problems will no longer be a problem.

"So, in the next hundred years, we will be able to become a fifth-level civilization?" The entomologist asked, a little gossipy, "Is it really only a hundred years?" Can it really achieve siliconization, which is countless times smarter than now?! ”

One hundred years, compared to the current lifespan, is not too long.

Every scientist aspires to be smarter, and on this premise, people are willing to give something to give.

Many experts and scholars also gathered around, wanting to get a clear answer.

"It's just possible, but not necessarily!"

Zhang Yuan shook his head, "The technology is fully mature, and it may not be able to enter the fifth-level civilization. As you know, there are a lot of difficulties in between...... Ethics, morality, and some philosophical concepts need to be addressed. Well, let's hope the future is bright. ”

And just like that, when all the supplies were cleared, the curvature engine above the warstar began to work, and the Alliance fleet set sail again, heading into the depths of the Void......
