The Milky Way plunged into the calm before the storm.

In addition to focusing on the two lost empires that seem to be ancient enemies, the civilizations have also noticed that the "guardians" of scientific research ships are transiting more and more frequently, and there is a feeling of urgency.

These changes have undoubtedly brought a sense of urgency to the young civilizations, and now it is not only the Lost Empire that has changed, but also the exchanges between civilizations that are much more frequent than before.

Many giants have gathered in secret to discuss the future of the galaxy.

Even those who don't pay attention to the major events of the galaxy and are only immersed in their own world can find some clues from the increasingly solemn atmosphere of the people around them.

There is such an old scholar who has taken a long time out of the subject and looked at the stars.

"Did you read it? The latest sci-fi blockbuster "Awakening Empire 2", the plot and special effects in it are really good! ”

“…… My assessment is a lump of defense, nothing but special effects. Two ancient civilizations start a fateful duel, and the young civilization sits back and reaps the benefits? Do you think it's possible? ”

"Why not? Two ancient civilizations are fighting to defeat each other, and the young civilization is secretly developing, just like in the movie, studying the wreckage and collecting it for their own use in the interval between their armistice, and this can't make them both bow down at the feet of the young civilization? ”

"Just think about it, it's good to dream, the chairman of the Galactic Council is not you who came to me to deny it."

“……”

In a colony of the Mingbo Technology Dictatorship, a group of young people are exchanging about the recently popular movies, and have already argued so angrily that the direction of the discussion has been detached from the film itself and has begun to collide values.

Some of them think that this is a good opportunity from God to give young civilization, while others think that it is a pure act of seeking death.

But just as they were arguing, an old man who looked like a scholar heard what they were talking about, and leaned over and interjected:

"Boys, what is this 'Awakening Empire' you were talking about earlier?"

Rather than arousing the anger of the young people, the outsiders seemed to be quite happy, and now they desperately needed a third party to agree with them.

However, when they saw who it was, they all stopped arguing without exception, and kept silent as if they didn't want to communicate.

Seeing them like this, the old scholar didn't care, and walked by the group of young people by himself.

And it wasn't until he disappeared from view that someone in the group of young men spoke, "...... It's him, right? ”

"There was a vibration from the electronic chip on my arm, which only triggered the ...... by people who have been deprived of scientific research rights"

In the Mingbo Technology dictatorship, depriving yourself of the right to scientific research is equivalent to being removed from society. For this society that pursues the supremacy of science and technology, those who cannot participate in scientific research are social moths and are spurned by others.

“…… But most of these people are in prison, and he is the only one who can walk freely on the streets at this age and look like a scholar......

One of them said this, and eventually used his electronic device to call up a directory with countless impressive names densely recorded.

This is the so-called "genius list", and the scientists who have been lost to the empire by the "Far Travelers" are recorded.

It's an honor for the vast majority of scientists and the civilization behind them, with the exception of the Mingbo tech dictatorship.

This civilization, which pursues scientific development, has naturally given birth to talented scientists, and has successfully attracted the attention of "far-travelers".

There was a scientist who was valued by the "Far Traveler" and asked for it. At that time, Mingbo was almost celebrated by the whole world, and even added a holiday on this day to commemorate this genius scientist.

However, the good times were short-lived, and while Mingbo was still hyping up the brilliance of their education, the "Far Traveler" actually sent the scientist back without giving a reason.

But this kind of behavior, which is tantamount to "returning", is almost equivalent to a slap in the face of Mingbo, making them embarrassed and embarrassed.

As a result, the scientist who was repatriated to China was pronounced socially dead, and his family and friends left him.

Although the indignation of the people has gradually dissipated today, this does not mean that they have forgiven the scientist.

Because of this, when these young people saw the person just now, they were no longer willing to speak. Because they recognized the origin of the old scholar, who was the scientist who had been returned.

At this time, the old scholar was walking on the street shaking his head, and there was a feeling that everyone was drunk and I was sober.

“…… They all think I'm ashamed, but who knows what I've done? What a bunch of poor worms......"

As the protagonist of the story, he knows too well what he did to be sent back by the "Far Traveler".

Contrary to the idealistic "watchmen", the "Far Travelers" are a materialistic lost empire.

They advocate the convenience brought by machinery, and have walked a long time on the road of science and technology affecting life.

During the time that the old scholar stayed in the "Far Traveler", he discovered that the main species of the "Far Traveler" was a prosthetic person implanted with an electronic implant.

Although the prosthetic techniques they used were very high, this still made the old scholars a little puzzled.

Because prosthetic technology is not uncommon in the galaxy, the "Far Traveler", as a lost empire, although the electronic implants used are much more advanced than ordinary civilizations, they do not show the feeling of transcending eras.

Essentially, it is still the use of mechanical prosthetics instead of organic flesh.

But at that time, the old scholar who was dedicated to scientific research did not pay much attention to this matter, but after a period of research, he reported his research results to the "Far Traveler":

He believed that by transferring the digitization of consciousness to the mechanical body, the collective leap of the species could be achieved and the shackles of the physical body could be freed.

At that time, with the help of the advanced tools of the "Far Traveler", he was even ready to put this idea into practice on himself.

However, the "Far Traveler" was noncommittal about this on the surface, but in fact, he turned his head and sent the old scholar back to Mingbo, and there is no need to say much about what kind of attitude it is.

Even though the old scholar has now rebelled, he still insists that his theory is correct.

Through his research during the period of "Far Traveler", and after all these years of preparation, he is ready to make himself the first person in the galaxy to complete "Ascension".

This outing was only the last time his dull body would experience the world, after which he would use his perfect machine body to announce his success to the world.

He would prove that the "Far Traveler" had made a wrong decision to deport him.

And he will start a whole new wave.
