Evolution From Mushrooms

In this star system, there is no level 1 civilization that needs additional protection.

They are also unowned planets, and no one wants them.

As for why no one wants it, because it has no value.

In fact, civilizations in the universe usually do not fight for territory.

This is the most significant difference from the Level 1 civilization inside the planet.

Because of the age of the universe, ordinary planets are worthless, and they don't even have any benefits to gain.

However, this does not mean that it can be occupied at will.

The expansion of any civilization beyond the local star system will inevitably attract the attention of surrounding civilizations.

And as the expansion proceeds gradually, the remaining civilizations will become more vigilant.

Even changing the view of your civilization may be labeled as expansionist tendencies, or even war tendencies.

This is not conducive to communicating with other civilizations.

Especially if there is civilization in the direction of your expansion, or there are airlines nearby.

This time may cause very serious consequences.

Because for a level 2 civilization, establishing a stronghold on an uninhabited planet means that this can become a supply point.

A supply point can often be developed into a star port.

And a star port might one day become a military base.

Or an outpost for an attack.

And in areas outside the local star system, people will be suspicious of transforming the planet. Do you want to build a planetary fortress on it?

This accusation is quite serious.

He will definitely be stabbed to the hall of parliament.

Then it was declared war by several surrounding civilizations, or civilizations passing by the waterway.

It's okay if you win.

This place is considered to be forcibly occupied.

But usually fails.

After all, less is more.

Even if they win, they will be hostile because they harm the interests of surrounding civilizations and threaten the safety of their waterways.

The most immediate consequence is the severance of diplomatic relations.

Then there is the channel blockade. 20

Even lead to a protracted war.

"But fortunately, we have established diplomatic relations with the 'sporadic' civilization."

One of their diplomats is on Terra.

The official diplomat has not yet arrived, but the Terra civilization can already negotiate with the other party.

In this area, there are only two civilizations around them, and there are no waterways.

Therefore, Chen Mo can carry out a certain degree of colonial expansion there under the premise of friendly relations.

Of course, the specific degree depends on the extent to which the other party accepts it.

However, according to the usual practice, civilizations that have established diplomatic relations can generally accept the lowest level of star ports and appropriate defensive weapons.

But Chen Mo's requirements are lower!

He's just going to grow creep on it!

"Use diplomatic means to take down this star system!"

The queen conveyed Chen Mo's meaning on her behalf.

The civilization of Terra began to act.

Detailed operations, of course, are done by humans.

This is diplomacy.

There is also an exchange of interests.

The details have to be carefully negotiated, and the entries are quite cumbersome.

It is far from something Chen Mo can handle alone.

"It can be regarded as the first test of the influence of Terra civilization."

Chen Mo couldn't help smiling.

But before that, his computing power is still not enough!

Waiting for the galactic disk over there to come down, can't wait at least ten days and a half months?

This is also because the other party is a giant corporate political system, which can go through some back doors.

If it's a democratic bureaucracy, it will have to be arguing for at least several years!

And even if the 'colonial agreement' is reached, it will take a few months for Chen Mo to send the fleet there.

Therefore, Chen Mo has another plan, which is carried out in this galaxy.

That is, to directly construct a star-orbiting brain larger than a planet!

A gigantic spectacle made entirely of light-path neural networks.

This brain will be relatively mysterious, orbiting close to the sun.

The rest of civilization can't get close to peek into its secrets.

Of course, they don't want to get close, they just think it's a big 'Dyson sphere'

And it's still under construction, the unfinished kind.

The practice of absorbing energy through the Dyson ball is very popular among the second-level civilizations in the universe.

It can be said that it is not surprising at all.

Almost all technological civilizations do this.

Just do it, in your own lair.

It's quite convenient to make it.

With just one thought in Chen Mo's mind, a large number of Leviathans began to act.

The overwhelming Leviathans began to gather in orbits close to the sun.

These extremely powerful creatures gathered together and huddled together, as if they were melted by the sun.

The flesh and blood began to connect with each other, sticking together, decomposing and growing again, forming a giant creeper.

Zerg keep adding to this ever-expanding creep.

Of course, above the creep, Chen Mo is also equipped with an anti-gravity organ, which is used to adjust the position of the creep to prevent it from falling into the sun.

For the time being, Chen Mo can expand the area of ​​the creep without any scruples.

Because the whole star is really too big, even if Chen Mo expands to the entire Terra as large as the creeper, it can only cover about 1.3 million of the star's surface area.

Considering that it is in the air, the actual area covered is much smaller than this.

Compared to stars, the area of ​​most planets is nothing to mention.

This is also the reason why Chen Mo wants to build a 'Dyson sphere' on the orbit of the sun. If the area here is not utilized, it is too wasteful.

He only needs to put in the first material to build the creep, and all the energy for the subsequent operation can be obtained through photosynthesis.

And for a small amount of material consumption, it is enough to invest some Leviathan occasionally.

The creep was getting bigger and bigger, soon exceeding the size of an entire continent.

Some careful astronomers have been able to observe a very small black spot through the telescope.

Of course, if they have enough patience and stare at it all day, they will find that this black spot seems to grow!

Still expanding!

Watching a large number of Leviathans grow from the nearest planet, and then use themselves as material transporters, continuously pouring into the creep.

This scene was quite shocking.

The largest Leviathan even exceeds 20 kilometers.

Of course, they haven't evolved any weapons, except for the anti-gravity organs, the rest can be said to be just a lot of meat.

Strictly speaking, this is just a well-proportioned, most nutritionally balanced piece of meat.

Put in the creep, it can be digested and used immediately.

This flying piece of meat is called a transport bug by Chen Mo.

If at this time, someone stands on the creep continent and looks up.

You will see a shocking and extremely strange scene.

Countless grotesque, horrible wriggling lumps of flesh that don't know whether to be called living things? They keep falling.

However, they fell on the Creep Continent, soundlessly, like water droplets, merging into the lake.

The whole thing melted away and penetrated into the creeping blanket.

The lake was still expanding, and in the sky, a "heavy rain" poured down.

Chen Mo admired this scene.

"Is this supposed to be a man-made wonder?"

According to Chen Mo's plan, the area of ​​this creep will eventually be about 1000 times the surface area of ​​Terra.

And it will gradually increase in thickness.

To construct a three-dimensional optical path neural network.

The area of ​​this "brain" will be equivalent to the sum of all the neural brains in the entire star system, and it will be 10 times larger.

It is equivalent to at least 100 times more computing power out of thin air.

As for continuing to increase the area?

That's not very feasible.

Because it is the current creep of 1000 times the surface area of ​​Terra, the mass consumption of the rocky planets beside it is already a bit serious.

If it is replaced by Terra, it is equivalent to shaving off 5% of the entire mass.

It's just too scary.

"I also want to continue to expand the creep, or thicken it, so I have to have more material."

"But the total mass in the star system is only so much. If the creep on my side becomes thicker, countless mountain continents on the planet will be hollowed out.

"It's not a good way to develop if you spend your own money."

Chen Mo muttered.

The virtual star map was projected and landed in front of him.

Expansion to galaxies outside the homeland will make other civilizations unhappy...

Then if I pack other planets and transport them home, it won't be a problem to anyone, right?

But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Mo still held back.

Did not dare to do it.

Because of moving the position of a planet.

The impact on the entire galaxy is really too great.

This influence may be noticed by some powerful civilizations.

Although many level 2 civilizations will do the same.

The purpose is exactly the same as that of Chen Mo, which is to keep consuming the matter in this galaxy.

Some civilizations that can manufacture planetary engines evacuate the planets in the entire star system as soon as they move them.

The orbits of these planets will be accurately calculated by them, and then stuffed into the galaxy.

Whether it will be used or not will be discussed later, and whether it is available or not is another matter.

However, Chen Mo is different from other civilizations. In essence, he is an individual who secretly controls an entire civilization.

And the method is extremely weird, it cannot be understood by other civilizations, and it is even easy to be regarded as an evil god.

If his behavior is discovered, there is a high probability that he will be hung up and hung on a neutron star.

Therefore, Chen Mo is afraid of being discovered by some predictive models of advanced civilizations.

There are many factors for a region to change. Advanced civilizations may collect data and use supercomputers like weather forecasts to predict possible trends.

When mistakes are made repeatedly, they may come to your door.

Thus realizing that there is an unknown existence, playing tricks behind the scenes.

Of course, according to Chen Mo's estimate, it will be at least a hundred years or even a thousand years before they realize it.

The biggest possibility is that I am worrying blindly.

In fact, no advanced civilization pays attention to this area at all.

According to the current indications, advanced civilizations seem to have no awareness of restricting the development of low-level civilizations.

On the contrary, to a certain extent, they also promote the diversity of civilizations and contribute to the cause of civilization in the universe.

Well, it looks like this on the surface.

However, Chen Mo's observation ability is very limited.

It is undoubtedly ridiculous to observe the 117 giants above from the perspective of a level 2 cute newcomer.

Before confirming whether this place is being observed by advanced civilizations, he will not take too much action.

These actions include, but are not limited to, wars, altering the structure of galaxies outside the home system, and having a major impact on remaining civilizations.

So Chen Mo urgently wants a way to observe more situations.

In order to change this kind of restraint, especially if you don't know if anyone is observing your situation in secret.

He used to observe everything secretly, but now he is being observed secretly.

feeling bad.

Fortunately, Chen Mo has found this way.

That is the prophet.

before his plan

Yes, wait patiently for a prophet to emerge among humanity.

But obviously bad luck, humans are not that fast yet.

Or, is the divine will interfering with the emergence of the prophet?

Whatever the reason, the plan was too much luck.

The newly released artificial prophet plan is obviously more feasible!

You don't need to rely on too much luck, you can speak with your strength.

"If everything goes well, I will be able to obtain enough computing power in a week to start the 'World Lab'. Next, I will carefully adjust the evolution parameters and wait patiently.

result. "

"And with the expansion of computing power, I can keep adding 'world laboratories' to increase the probability of success."

Whether it can successfully evolve an intelligent race, Chen Mo only needs a year at most to know the result.

And the probability of prophets appearing in the intelligent race will undoubtedly be greatly increased because they are born with psychics.

And Chen Mo will build one hundred world laboratories one after another within a month according to the growth of computing power.

"That is to say, if everything goes well, I will know the result in a year and a half at most! 11

Chen Mo carefully analyzed this series of "artificial prophets" plans.

To sum it up is:

Expansion of computing power through various means - run the world laboratory - run more world laboratories to increase the success rate - obtain the prophet - and then prophesy.

As long as there is a prophet, Chen Mo can obtain far beyond the current observation level in certain events.

Being able to see and see farther is a huge advantage.

Let the Queen pay attention to the growth of the 'Dyson Ball' creep, and Chen Mo returned to his lair.

The "Four Great Beasts" under the Mushroom Throne are almost about to appear.

The first to complete the body transformation is the little fox.

And not just because she started the makeover first.

Moreover, after the transformation, her body looked the most petite and exquisite. .
