Zhang Yuan saw the other party's expression of concentrating on thinking, and continued: "So, we need to clarify the purpose of cultivating affiliated civilizations..."

"If the Gliese can happen to solve five medium-important problems, we can say that we have made a small profit! What if they really solve the century-old problem that has been stuck for a long time? That is a big profit!"

"We must dig deep into the strength of each affiliated civilization as soon as possible!"

Having said that, Zhang Yuan couldn't help sighing. There is always a subtle sense of urgency in his heart... This sense of urgency comes not only from the outside, but also from within the alliance.

And the cultivation of the subordinate civilization, and the main civilization must be both prosperous and harmless. Isn't it for their intelligence that new humans cultivate subordinate civilizations? In the present exceptional circumstances, there is nothing to hide.

The professor thought about it for a long time, and this is indeed very reasonable... Moreover, it is not a big deal to give a few geniuses a trial of intellectual technology, but it can stimulate the enthusiasm of the rest of the people.

"Understood, let's investigate this information from the database.

...

Time passed day after day, and it was the Spring Festival again.

By the way, the traditional new year of the new human civilization has evolved into a popular culture in the entire alliance. Planet Kyushu, as a commercial center, is filled with festive atmosphere.

Shopping malls are holding celebrations or holding clearance sales.

The junior high school students and high school students above the planet Shanhai are also allowed to travel to this planet during the New Year. Whether it is shopping for treasures in the metal garbage city or wandering in the mall, for these young people, it is very difficult. It's very good entertainment.

Coupled with the hemisphere people who are spinning their heads at high speed, and the sparsely populated pangolins who are still trying to integrate into the overall environment, it is still the first New Year here for them, and they are performing traditional arts...

Kyushu Interstellar Business Center has never been so lively!

For these pangolins, the easiest way to make money is to search for treasures in the metal garbage city, and then assemble them and sell them. After all, only a very small number of people are able to work as teachers in universities. Although humans gave them an ancient universal factory for free, this civilization does not even have enough engineers, and this universal factory is still in a state of paralysis... Everything has to be explored by themselves.

Most of the pangolins have not yet reached the standard of work skills, so they can only pick up garbage for a living, and study hard in their free time.

But I have to admit that these lizards are still very self-motivated. In this new year, they have deeply realized the huge gap between this civilization and the main civilization.

When walking between the huge centrifugal wheels, entering the starry sky port from the space elevator, and witnessing the stalwart battle stars and Titan-class spaceships, every Gliese person will feel small from the bottom of his heart...

Even a planet can be controlled. This is only a fourth-level civilization. What will happen to the more powerful civilizations behind?

Because of this, with the help and sponsorship of Zhang Yuan and others, several of the highest-ranking professors of Gliese Civilization established a foundation to subsidize some Gliese people to visit the space port every year, especially the student group .

After each batch of Gliese people come back, they are devastated. This kind of awe of the universe and desire for knowledge will linger for a lifetime. This is a change in mentality, and it can even be said to be a sublimation of the spiritual level. .

Some lower-level pangolins have backbone, and they will choose to give up this kind of funding, but give up the opportunity to other young students.

They hope to obtain money through their own labor and realize their dream of reaching the stars and the sea.

For them, this New Year's event is definitely not to be missed, even performing arts can make money!

"Gliese people are very good. They have formed the concept of civilization and self-improvement... very good! At first I thought they would be polluted by things like money."

"Professor Zhang, we are planning to let some Gliese people who are not adapted to the current life return to the virtual world."

"Is that so... that's fine." Zhang Yuan nodded, approving the plan.

There will always be some pangolins that don’t adapt to the environment, and it’s no problem to let them go back, anyway, it’s impossible to come back again.

Zhang Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Well, we can also let some well-known mathematicians go back to visit relatives and let them introduce our world. After all, it will be more convincing."

"Understood."

The worker left the office with a task in hand.

"The harvest in the past year has been exceptionally huge!"

When it's time to get off work, Zhang Yuan can't help feeling emotionally, sometimes he thinks, if it can really continue to develop at such a high speed, it would be great, everything will become very harmonious...

It's just... that's impossible.

He clearly knows this, everything is just digesting the dividends brought by the fifth-level civilization technology.

Sooner or later, this dividend will be exhausted with the passage of time. So far, human beings are still a species that relies on technological progress. Once the development is slow, the internal atmosphere will still change again.

On the other hand, all the expeditionary exploration teams also returned to the team during the New Year of this year.

Calculated, these exploration teams have been exploring in all directions for nine months, and have completely explored the stars within 1 light-year.

But it was the last returning exploration team that brought a very astonishing news, which made the top management of the new humans quickly make a series of reactions.

This news surprised Zhang Yuan even more!

In the neutron star collision area created by the new humans and the Toth civilization, that is, an area one light-year away, an unknown artificial building unexpectedly appeared!

This news is indeed shocking. After the collision of two neutron stars, an ultra-small black hole has been formed. How could artificial buildings appear?

At the beginning, the entire alliance was a bit negligent, and did not explore in the direction of the black hole, and focused its energy on the surrounding stars. It wasn't until the exploration team took a huge risk and took a series of photos that everyone was shocked!

A complete artificial structure revolving around the black hole at high speed emits amazing infrared light. In the photo, this artificial building looks like a ring made of iron wire, spinning rapidly, with tens of thousands of revolutions per second.

The fact happened like this. According to the information of the ruins interpreted by the scientists, plus some bold inferences, it can be considered that this artificial building is the legendary "Hawkin's Ring"!

Due to the existence of quantum effects, black holes can emit black body radiation, and the smaller black holes emit faster black body radiation.

Therefore, by building a "Hawking ring" around the black hole, this part of the energy can be successfully received.

In theory, the construction of the Hawking ring is simpler than the Dyson sphere with a rigid body structure. After all, it is just a ring, which can counteract most of the gravitational force through high-speed rotation. In terms of volume, the scale of the Hawking ring is much smaller.

"This Hawking Ring is most likely built by the Aleph civilization."

As for why the Aleph civilization built a Hawking Ring here, there are many reasons... But after careful discussion, people think that there are two main possibilities.

The first is to use black holes to produce antimatter in large quantities.

If a particle pair is formed near a black hole, due to the strong gravitational field of the black hole, the pros and cons of the pair will be torn apart, and one may fall into the event horizon while the other does not, and thus be promoted to a real state by the black hole's gravitational force. particle.

Therefore, this Hawking ring may be able to induce black holes to radiate antimatter in some way.

The second is that the Aleph civilization wants to build a super-light speed communication place!
