Deep Space Fleet

"They're gone at last."

"Yeah, the aliens are gone..."

Several white-haired orangutans looked at the alien spacecraft that was going away quickly. After the final crisis was resolved, they gradually relaxed and 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 period of time!

Thinking of the huge dividends brought about by the development of science and technology, every white-haired orangutan's heart becomes hot...Even if it is the civilization of the perishers, the development of science and technology is always good. Technological development means a bigger cake.

Moreover, there are not many high-end talents in their entire civilization, and it will take a long, long time to digest these technologies. Therefore, in the future, this civilization will cooperate more than compete.

A Laenino seemed to think of something: "By the way, that alien also gave us a gift... It is said to be the last little gift."

"what gift?"

"Open it and see."

"Don't be careless! Maybe there will be some risks?"

These Laenino people returned to a safe room, carefully placed the box on the table, their expressions were tense, and they even held their breath...

Immediately afterwards, another robot was dispatched to the safe room.

With a soft "click", the box was opened.

They were surprised to find that there was nothing but a beautiful postcard inside. On the card is a drawing of the face of the human home planet "Earth" - a blue planet similar to Lainino.

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

"Dear Lainino Civilization, thank you for your friendly reception. Your beautiful planet reminds us of our once warm home planet and the people who lived on it. We don't know how they live, we can only Here's wishing them all the best."

"Thank you also for bringing us a good time. Our students received a good education here, and the sociologist visit went very well."

"Traveling in the stars is like this. If we don't reach our destination, we will never know what stories are waiting for us ahead."

"Sometimes we think, if we can continue to travel like this, it might be a good thing..."

"At the end, I want to tell you a piece of not-so-good news: the political structure of the Milky Way is undergoing tremendous changes. Even our Star Alliance is just a grain of sand in the great era. It can be said that we are just fugitive."

"I regret to tell you that if your civilization cannot leave your home planet within a thousand years, there is a high probability that it will suffer the fate of being assimilated."

The following text briefly introduces the status of Aleph civilization and what the so-called "assimilation" is.

"assimilation?"

"There is a more powerful civilization coming back to occupy our planet?!"

The white-haired orangutans were silent for a long time, and then brought the news out with horror on their faces.

They don't know whether the news is true or not, but even if it is a one in ten thousand chance, it is a real event of extermination!

A level five civilization is coming!

...

Of course, humans don't care about what these Laenino people will do with the last little gift, whether they will be drunk for a thousand years, or seize the time to develop themselves. Whatever they choose has nothing to do with humans.

"One thousand years is too short. If you don't have the curvature technology, you won't be able to escape very far in the end, and you will still be assimilated by the Aleph civilization."

"So I think there is a high probability that they will still 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 very long, far beyond the lifespan of a generation of Laenino civilization. It is basically impossible for this civilization to tighten the belts of all members and develop technology... This is fact.

After the last batch of diplomats returned, engineers unloaded box after box of goods. This includes a large number of insects and a small number of Laenino people. These indigenous people are all frozen and lying in hibernation boxes.

These are the harvests of mankind in these two years.

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

"Enough is enough, counting the previous batches, there are a total of 5,000 people, enough..."

Zhang Yuan looked at the natives in the hibernation barn and sighed. He felt like a black wizard manipulating souls. There are too many indigenous people in the experiment, and the eyes of others looking at him are a bit strange...

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

Sacrificing some aborigines who took drugs and smashed their heads is already the limit that human morality can accept...

Zhang Yuan looked again at the various huge bugs locked in the glass room, including two distinctive intelligent species. These bugs were curiously looking at the surrounding environment.

He smiled and asked: "This is the intelligent hive-thinking species, how about their intelligence?"

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

"According to the current research and investigation, the intelligence of this kind of hive thinking is about 70. It can learn some of our characters in front of you, and you can learn to count. But how far it can grow, you should not have too much expectation."

"That's it..."

Zhang Yuan was a little disappointed, but he soon felt relieved. How can human beings have such good luck? Just find a species that is a super species with potential?

The professor asked again: "How about you, have enough experimental materials, do you have the confidence to overcome the final difficulty?"

"You mean mind acceleration?"

"yes."

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Thinking acceleration is not a big problem in theory. After all, we have virtual world technology, and we have overcome the biggest difficulty of thinking uploading. One hundred years, no, it only takes fifty or sixty years. This technology can really mature..."

The acceleration of thinking is already the final big step in the entire engineering system towards the fifth-level 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, all problems will no longer be problems.

"So, in the next hundred years, we will be able to become a fifth-level civilization?" The entomologist asked a little gossip, "Is it really only a hundred years? Can we really achieve silicon-based transformation and be smarter than we are now?" Countless times?!"

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

Every scientist longs for a smarter self. Under this premise, people are willing to pay even something.

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 still many difficulties...ethics, morality, and some philosophical concepts need to be resolved. Hey, I hope the future is bright. .”

Just like that, after all the materials were cleaned up, the curvature engine above the battle star started to work, and the alliance fleet set sail again, sailing to the depths of the void...
