Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan saw the busy machinery on the surface of the planet, as well as the spaceships coming and going.

Through the electronic eyes, it can be found that some weapons seem to be turned on, aiming at him vaguely.

This kind of thing is actually very normal. If the new human civilization faced a strange alien, it would make a similar choice.

But in order to ensure his own safety, Zhang Yuan still used the controller digital virus to quietly infect a large number of electronic devices. If the opponent really launched an attack, it would be no problem to paralyze most of the battle stars. His current body is just a robot with a fourth-level civilization, and its performance is far inferior to that of a silver-white robot. However, the digital virus can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction attack, and it is an attack method that low-level civilizations are difficult to guard against.

Of course, if the other party is just on guard and doesn't have too much malice, then the two parties will naturally live in peace. Zhang Yuan is also not interested in intentionally showing off to intimidate the other party. After all, his main task is diplomatic investigations, and he must try to be as peaceful as possible if he can be peaceful.

The volume of this battle star is slightly larger than that of Shanhai, and many projects are still in a state of vigorous construction.

The mental state of the workers is not bad.

A developing alliance can cover up even if there are some internal conflicts. Contradictions are also the driving force for progress in a certain way, provided that the whole society has enough courage to correct these contradictions.

During the walk, Pei Ming, chairman of the Human Alliance, gave Zhang Yuan a general introduction to the current situation: "We currently have a population of 3.6 billion, which is an alliance composed of three human branches. If you count your human branch, plus In the earth mother civilization, human beings actually have five different political forces."

"3.6 billion, that's a lot of people!"

"What about your situation?" Pei Ming probed vaguely.

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, "In fact, our branch of Kunlun Mountains was divided into two at the back, and a fleet named Bright Galaxy has been extinct. That disaster probably lost 60 million people. At present, our The alliance has three battle stars, and the population is about one billion."

"Extinct?" These people around took a breath, wondering what happened in the middle.

And when they heard the three battle stars, their ears perked up again.

Zhang Yuan said: "The reason for the extinction is because of the virtual world technology, they didn't make good use of it, so they became extinct."

"Yes, virtual world technology is indeed very dangerous." Pei Ming nodded and said seriously, "Then the future plan of the Kunlun Mountain branch is..."

Zhang Yuandao: "We don't plan to join the Human Alliance, because the distance between the two sides is really far away. The most important thing is that we have formed our own alliance, which is composed of many different alien civilizations. Direction... If we have the opportunity to meet each other in the future, we can really communicate with each other."

In fact, three thousand light years is not too far away for the current new humans. If they really want to come, they will come. The main reason is that the new humans have found their own way forward. Having seen invitations from so many great factions, Zhang Yuan has expanded his vision to the more distant starry sky.

"An alien alliance?"

Everyone present is actually very curious about Zhang Yuan's current state, but they don't know how to ask questions... There are too many questions they want to ask. Belonging to your own alliance, how about multiple different alien civilizations?

And they also suspect that the other party has entered the state of a fifth-level civilization.

Any topic about the fifth-level civilization is mysterious, and they can only rely on random guesses. They haven't even reached the fourth-level civilization, let alone the fifth-level civilization. This matter is too far away...

The representatives of the scientists who followed behind were also hesitant to speak. After pondering for a long time, they did not speak. After all, the other party has just arrived, so you can't directly ask the other party's biggest secret, which will appear a bit malicious.

There are also some people who have crooked ideas in their hearts, and they can only hold them in their hearts. The fifth-level civilization sounds a bit scary, but some people are still a little skeptical in their hearts, and they will not fully believe it.

In the end, it was Zhang Yuan who observed their shy expressions, and he said with a little amusement: "You may be very curious about my current state, first of all, let me explain that this is the robot mode after uploading consciousness through superluminal communication...it is the universe. The information outpost near the string, the body that the amoeba civilization trading market automatically arranges for me, is not my own choice."

"... Has it really become a fifth-level civilization?"

"Indeed, we have completed the preliminary thinking transformation and took the first step towards the fifth-level civilization."

"Sh..." Zhang Yuan heard an unconscious gasp.

Level 5 civilization, it's too far away...

When this fact was really in front of them, all the humans present stood there in a daze.

Even the real leadership behind the scenes was stunned, a little skeptical and a little bit convinced. No matter how they analyze it, Zhang Yuan is unlikely to have the motive to lie... Is it impossible to come here alone to cheat!

Immediately afterwards, a small number of people were ecstatic. If there is a fifth-level civilization as the backstage of the entire alliance, what kind of interstellar pirates and interstellar careerists are bullshit, and a single leg hair can suppress these malicious guys died!

Even against the Aleph civilization, it is not impossible.

However, why did the Kunlun Mountain branch suddenly become a fifth-level civilization?

Pei Ming suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and cautiously said: "This must be a very long story..."

Zhang Yuan continued: "It's just a pity that the transmission cost of FTL communication is very high. When I sent my self-awareness over, I discarded most of the knowledge database, so I can't help you too much. I came here The purpose is mainly to investigate the human beings of the same origin and understand your history."

"We still have some transmission space redundancy. After that, your alliance can choose several key technologies, for example, curvature technology, life extension technology, subatomic materials or artificial intelligence. This should be something we can do. A little help."

"Really?! Curvature technology?" The old professor blurted out inadvertently under the excitement, and the surprise in his heart turned into ecstasy.

His face quickly turned red.

Curvature technology, they can get it for free? !

Yes, a real Level 5 civilization, even a little bit of knowledge leaked through the fingers, is enough for them to benefit from!

Although the whole expression was quickly covered up, the brilliance in everyone's eyes was hard to hide.

They really know what it's worth.

Zhang Yuan didn't make a fool of himself, and replied directly: "Of course it is true. After this investigation is over, we need to go to the information outpost so that we can remotely transmit the data in this regard."

"In the past, there may have been a curvature non-proliferation treaty, but now that the amoeba faction is about to launch the Milky Way, there is no risk of breach of contract."

Not long after, the crowd came to a meeting room, which can be regarded as the most high-end meeting room on the entire planet.

The atmosphere has become active, and seeing that Zhang Yuan is easier to talk, everyone is not as cautious as before.

"About your alliance...what's the status?"

Zhang Yuandao: "The Galactic Progressive Alliance, the main civilization of which is human beings, has the dominance of politics, economy, and technology; there is also a large component, which is a species called hemispheric civilization, which should also be regarded as a fifth-level civilization. The two sides have competition with each other, and can point out the loopholes in the thinking transformation of the other side. We also have a subsidiary civilization, the Gliese pangolin, in addition to two hive intelligences with low intelligence, plus some intelligent plants... ..."

"The basic composition is like this."

Zhang Yuan briefly introduced the current alliance composition, especially when he heard the magical story of the hemisphere civilization, everyone was stunned, there is such a crazy civilization in the Milky Way!

Humans... can't do it.

"What is your current state, can you explain it in detail?" A few minutes later, several scientists who heard the news were delighted and asked cautiously.

Zhang Yuan replied without hesitation: "I am currently in a state of two hundred times the speed of thinking. In fact, I only use the thinking speed of a normal person to talk to you, and the other one hundred and ninety-nine times of thinking is being used for writing. ...I have written a novel about the journey of the Kunlun Mountain Fleet, and it will be finished in a few minutes."

"In addition to the works of art created in the past few years, let's give it to you as a small gift."

This miraculous state made everyone in the conference room amazed again.

Everyone's personal terminal has received the data sent by Zhang Yuan. The first novel is called "The Great Fleet of Deep Space", and a few pages are randomly turned, and there are various exquisite illustrations in the middle.

Soon some staff began to analyze these literary works. It is difficult to forge things like culture. These novels can prove Zhang Yuan's human identity to a certain extent and reduce people's suspicion.

"You...how many hours did it take you to write this two million-word novel?"

"Specifically, five hours."

In five hours, it's not bad for them to read one-fifth of it, but they have already finished a novel.

"It only takes a few hours for you to complete a regular research project?!"

"According to the current situation, this is almost the case. Of course, if it is a real experiment, it will take time."

"No need to rest? No need to eat?"

"Usually it is not necessary, the happiness level of most things can be adjusted by itself. Its core goal is still to discover and explore new things..."

"So, so..." Several older experts murmured, not knowing what they were thinking.

I was so stimulated today that everyone was a little numb.

They also have research topics similar to thinking acceleration, but they are still in the illusory stage... This kind of thing is really far away and a bit too much.

There will be a moment of silence in the meeting room, even if there are many questions to ask, they are a bit unable to ask. These experts are shameless. This situation is like asking how to calculate 100+100 in front of a university professor, which is a bit shameful.

Seeing everyone's dazed expressions, Zhang Yuan couldn't help sighing: "Human beings still have to rely on themselves in the end. We have gradually abandoned our identity as human beings and started the process of modifying our own thinking."

"We don't know what we will modify ourselves in the future, and it may make the current human beings feel extremely disgusted. So at this moment, when you are barely human, I will give you a little help within your ability."

"In the future, we're not necessarily going to do that."

Taking advantage of this chatting time, several behind-the-scenes leaders rushed over and greeted Zhang Yuan one after another.

They have already quickly browsed the electronic information sent by Zhang Yuan. It is about the journey of the Kunlun Mountain Fleet, plus all kinds of miscellaneous novels and music. When they saw this scene, they were relieved. The robot in front of them did have human-like intelligence, and it didn't look like an alien civilization with ulterior motives in disguise.

Under such circumstances, these behind-the-scenes leaders couldn't hold back anymore. Because they had more power, the content of the chat was more profound, and they began to ask about some civilizational content and some possible pitfalls. Even a few words are very valuable.

Next, Zhang Yuan visited the alliance's museums and various industrial sites to learn about its specific history.

In fact, compared to the experience of the Kunlun Mountain Fleet, the history of this human alliance is much simpler, that is, with the continuous development of various branches, they have almost exhausted their own potential.

In order to avoid technological stagnation, everyone worked hard to unite together. Coupled with the technology that the Kunlun Mountain Fleet has fed back several times, under these conditions, these human branches have maintained a fairly good vitality.

In this museum, Zhang Yuan also saw the current situation of the earth's civilization: the earth's civilization has not changed much. Indeed, there are too many people in the solar system, and it is too difficult to change.

Just because the hibernating population has reached hundreds of billions, people are escaping the facts through hibernation, so they have already fallen into a vicious circle.

The government of Earth civilization once wanted to use laws to prohibit hibernation, and even planned to use isomorphic technology to abandon this part of the hibernating population, because maintaining hundreds of billions of hibernation devices has become a huge historical burden. People have to consume a huge amount of productivity to maintain the normal operation of the hibernation chamber. If it is not maintained, the hibernating people inside will die.

As a result, because of these laws, a very serious humanitarian crisis broke out in the solar system, which can be regarded as Star Wars!

That civil war destroyed billions of hibernation warehouses, and also meant the death of billions of people. This is an extremely serious humanitarian disaster!

After the civil strife ended, this period of history was called "black history" by later generations. There are clear records in the museum.

But even with the emergence of "black history", the problem of a large number of hibernating populations has not been resolved, and the civilization of the earth is still in a quagmire, in a state of being unable to extricate itself...

"It turned out to be like this...it's been so long, is it still like this?" When witnessing the history, Zhang Yuan sighed.

"This is the history of a hundred years ago..."

Pei Ming, chairman of the alliance, said: "As for the current situation of the earth's civilization, we don't know. You know, there are no cosmic strings near the solar system. Even the fastest spacecraft of our alliance will take hundreds of years to go back and forth. time."

"Earth civilization, which is still in the era of capitalism, does not have much funds to send messages through super-large pulse devices. On the contrary, we send some messages from time to time. Anyway, it is just a waste of productivity, and it is not a big deal... …However, we didn’t get many replies.”

"All in all, there shouldn't be much change in a mere hundred years."

In the Human Alliance, some experts privately even believe that if the interstellar war had been more serious and wiped out the hundreds of billions of hibernating populations, the burden of history would have been left behind, and people on Earth would be able to live a better life now.

But this kind of thinking violates humanitarianism, so it is only a private thought, and it is impossible to say it out loud. No one can bear the crime of massacring hundreds of billions of people. Whoever proposes this method will have countless criticisms on the Internet, and all future political careers will be over.

Another senior leader sighed: "So, this problem may never be solved for the civilization of the earth... This hole for hibernation should not have been opened in the first place."

"One wrong step, one wrong step, it's hard to make up for it."

Zhang Yuan nodded. Whether it is the human alliance or the Galactic Progressive Alliance, it is strictly forbidden to hibernate at will to escape the facts.

So what about using virtual world technology?

If the hibernating population is uploaded to the virtual world in large quantities, it may be able to solve this problem. The branch of the Brilliant Galaxy back then installed itself into the computer. As long as the virtual world technology is powerful enough, it doesn't matter how many people can be installed.
