Chapter 121: Galactic Kindred

“…… Have you taken the first step towards joining the 'Star Sea Community'? Li Wenyuan, who received the news from his two sub-centers, seemed very happy.

Unlike his attitude towards other civilizations, the two sub-centers of "Paradise Servant" and "Assimilation Fighter" really grew up with him.

Although they are still under supervision, Li Wenyuan has actually let go of almost all their authority and allowed them to develop freely.

He could finish a small matter like joining the "Star Sea Community" with a greeting, but he didn't really want to interfere in the civilization process of these two sub-centers.

Just as humans once did, they were inspired and then left alone. He wanted to see what the impact would be.

“…… That being said, you're giving them a good foundation, aren't they? Grey Wind apparently disagrees.

"When ordinary civilization first came to heaven, it was basically poor and white, right? I think these two 'children' of yours are so rich that the average interstellar civilization is not as rich as them. ”

Li Wenyuan also has his own statement on this: "This is a special 'origin', just like other civilizations in this interstellar area." ”

"Some of them have experienced war and moved towards unification, some have touched the stars under foreign influences, some have been born with giant buildings, and some have grown in the legacy of their predecessors."

"These are all a part of the birth of Galaxy Chinese, and they are a unique part of them, so these two intelligent machines naturally have their own unique origins." Also, I want to emphasize again, they are my 'sub-hub'. ”

“…… That's right. Grey Wind gave a thoughtful expression, and then quickly raised his head, his eyes glinting.

"Then I can make a whole one, right? I think it's kind of funny! Can your synths lend me some? ”

"Absolutely...... But what are you going to do with it? ”

"Studying the adaptability of nanorobots...... Don't you think it's particularly handsome to have two civilizations with the origins of two lost empires at the same time? ”

…………

The joint review team of the "Star Sea Community" came to the territory of the "Galactic Clan", and a series of discussions were generated on the way here.

"Anyway...... Have you noticed that these two new intelligent civilizations seem to be very close to the 'guardians'......?"

“…… Okay, isn't this still a distance of dozens of galaxies? It's much farther than the Tinder Alliance, which is directly on the border. ”

"To be honest, I already suspect that these two intelligent civilizations are actually vassal civilizations of the 'guardians'...... Isn't it bad for us to not directly 'let go'? ”

“…… But there has been no news from the 'Guardians'...... The attitude is so elusive that perhaps we will anger the 'guardians' if we let it go directly, so let's follow the rules, at least we haven't made mistakes......"

It's normal to have this kind of speculation about this kind of intelligent civilization that suddenly appeared, but the procedure that should be followed still has to be followed.

So after a period of interstellar voyages, this group of "joint review teams" came to the home planet of the "galactic conclusion" - the "assembly unit".

The mechanical intelligence has their own way of naming planets, and the censors are no stranger to such strange names.

This group of dozens of people came from five different civilizations, and these five civilizations had different trends of thought, beliefs, and political systems, and they could basically guarantee that they were relatively fair.

And the greeter of the "Galactic Clan" also came to them.

It's a creature that bears some resemblance to a rodent, but with the difference that at least half of his body has been replaced with a prosthetic body.

He also has a large number of neural implants in his body that help him become a member of "mechanical intelligence".

Today's censors are dealing with both the individual and the entire "galactic community".

But after actually seeing these prosthetic people, the examiners were still a little incredible, and even had a strange sense of intimacy.

Because prosthetics are no longer a rare thing in the galaxy, even if they are just civilizations that have just ascended to the sky, they will pick up some obsolete prosthetic components from other civilizations to study, and then find a way to replace their own people with such efficient things.

Of course, there are civilizations that do not agree with this set, such as those that have studied the genetic path to the point of madness.

Although there is only one species in their civilization, this species has been further subdivided under "full-time genetic modification".

All people's bodies are specially genetically modified to be perfectly qualified for their own work, and if they are pulled to other positions, the efficiency will be greatly reduced.

If you fill each of these subdivided species on top of the pie chart in a different color, you will see a "palette" like a dazzling thing to look at.

And most of the idealistic civilizations do not approve of this kind of "prosthetic" behavior, they feel that it is destroying themselves.

However, the only idealistic civilization in this group of censors, the Sky Clan, their representatives did not show any emotion.

Although they are idealistic, they are not so extreme. They didn't approve of it, but they didn't feel anything more about it, and even more so for them.

As for the other censors who did not reject prosthetics at all, they thought it was good, and seeing such a familiar thing here in a sapient civilization made their serious mentality relaxed.

“…… Are you really machine smart? To be honest, after seeing your prosthetics, I wasn't convinced. Maybe you're more ...... A hive civilization with a prosthetic? ”

One representative raised a question that although this incident will not affect the "galaxy community" joining the "Star Sea Community", it will affect some policy discrimination.

However, the "Galactic Kindred" also replied:

"We're really machine smart, because we're really in a ...... Under the control of greater mechanical consciousness, this is unquestionable. ”

"I see, I was abrupt." The delegate apologized, probably thinking that this "greater mechanical consciousness" was referring to the central consciousness of the "galactic contemporary".

However, the "Galactic Clan" didn't explain too much, but let them wander around, and if they had any questions, just find a prosthetic person on the way to ask, they are always there.

So the first round of expeditions began.

The group of censors first checked the biological situation on this planet, and found that unlike ordinary intelligent civilizations, the planet here has not become uninhabitable due to large-scale mechanical modifications.

All the creatures here seem to be alive and well, if you can ignore the prosthetic limbs on them.

“…… Is there no problem with that? It's the first time I've seen animals with prosthetics...... Do they want to include animals in mechanical intelligence as well? ”

"It doesn't feel like it, the thinking of these animals is too simple, even with the addition of neural implants, they can't enter the consciousness network, maybe it's just the ...... of this intelligent civilization Some kind of attachment? ”

And as the investigation progressed further, they also discovered more characteristics of this mechanical intelligence.

They were indeed in a common consciousness, and the prosthetic people on the road never had any conversation, nor did they say hello or anything like that.

It's a waste of time for them, they just need to make the commands that have already been set up.

Although they are prosthetics, each of their movements is like an efficient mechanical intelligence, and all of them are surprisingly consistent.

Moreover, this sapient civilization seems to be quite gentle with organic creatures, and even the unenlightened primitive animals are treated with great care, including replacing each animal with a prosthetic leg.

It seems to have become a habit for them, and killing, eating, and generating electricity are not their goals.

Even a dragonfly on the road, its wings have been transformed into more powerful mechanical wings, flashing in front of everyone, and it is almost impossible to see it.

So much so that several prosthetic people looked at them on the road, as if they wanted to do something, but soon regained their calm.

However, their attitude, which is completely different from that of other intelligent civilizations towards organic organisms, has succeeded in increasing the favor of the examiners, and diplomatic evaluations are rising.

Eventually, the idealists in this group of censors, the people from the Sky Clan, discovered something special about some of the prosthetic people here.

"Wait! I felt ...... That's-" A member of the Sky Clan exclaimed as he saw a prosthetic person flying in the sky, without the aid of any auxiliary equipment.

The materialist may not have reacted at first, but the Sky Clan, who has studied psionic energy, discovered at a glance that the prosthetic man was using psionic energy to fly, and that strong psionic aura could be felt even from afar.

And among this group of people in their Sky Clan, there was no one who could have such a powerful spiritual power, and even their God Emperor was slightly inferior.

In other words, the prosthetic man was actually a more powerful psionic than any of them.

This shook the faith of this group of idealists, who believed that "all righteousness is evil", and almost collapsed.

Seeing that this magical "psionic prosthetic person" was about to fly over their heads, they hurriedly contacted the psionic messenger with a special means of psionic energy, and invited him to come down and meet them.

In the end, they saw a different creature than the main species of the "Galactic Homogeneous".

And he seems to be a little different from ordinary prosthetic people, his gaze is more agile, and it seems that in this "collective consciousness", there is a lot of autonomy.

"What's wrong? Visitors, do you have any questions? He was equally kind enough to ask the examiners questions, just like the prosthetic people along the way.

The censors of the materialist civilization looked at each other, or the people of the Sky Clan asked eagerly:

"You...... No, why did you use prosthetics and neural implants to wield such powerful psionic powers? As far as we know, the Shroud will not accept a being like you......"

The "Psionic Prosthetic" patiently listened to their questions, and then smiled kindly.

In the eyes of the people of the Sky Clan, this is indeed a kind smile, but in the eyes of others, this smile has a certain sense of disobedience, like ...... The conspiracy came to fruition.

“…… Want to know? If you join us, everything will be clear......" His voice was full of seduction, coupled with the kindness brought by a series of events on the road before, even if he was not a person from the Sky Clan, he suddenly felt a sense of intoxication.

"Come, join us, become one with us, embrace the collective consciousness, so that all barriers can be eliminated, all doubts can be eliminated, all disasters and ...... can be eliminated"

He was still persuading, but the figure flickered, and there were more and more prosthetic people around, which seemed to surround the place.

Most people were in some sort of confusion in his voice, and only a few of the most hardened vigilantes abruptly realized what they meant by the phrase "erasing all barriers between species" they saw in the document.

Emotions want them to be part of "mechanical intelligence", right?

So after a few loud shouts, everyone immediately realized that they looked at these prosthetic people with vigilance.

“…… As a word of warning, we are under the protection of the Star Sea Community and other civilizations, and if you do so, you will become the public enemy of the galaxy. Someone calmly raised the umbrella.

And this "psionic prosthetic person" has also changed back to his normal state, but he always has that kind smile on his face.

The prosthetic people around them also suddenly dispersed as if nothing had happened.

"What are you talking about? We just want to bridge the gap between us, just as you are wary of us right now. What a pitiful thing that is! Obviously, we are kind and want you to experience the benefits of the collective......"

"But that's okay, there's a lot of time to come. We will 'embrace' the galaxy, no matter who it is or what ......."
