I Am the Swarm

But soon, the Ji clan discovered the unreliability of this experiment.

Even with their intervention, it is not too difficult for the Ji clan to cultivate a civilization from scratch. But it is too difficult to cultivate it to the point where it can act as an opponent.

The first is technology. Even if the Ji clan doesn't care about the cost and price, they can't forcefully raise the technological level of this new civilization to a level close to it in a short period of time.

Because those scientific theories require a large number of high-quality people to digest, but the cultivation of these high-quality people takes time. After digesting the theories, a mature and supporting industrial system is needed to convert these scientific theories into various real objects. But even with an industrial system, this kind of transformation still requires raw materials.

At that time, the Ji Clan already had territories in more than fifty star systems, and possessed resources beyond imagination. With the same level of technology, an opponent who can attract the attention of the Ji clan must have at least twenty star systems. Otherwise, a simple exchange of battle losses can easily consume the opponent.

Will the Ji clan give the newborn civilization twenty star systems? That must be impossible.

Therefore, this kind of civilization that cannot make the Ji family feel a sense of crisis, even if it is cultivated, cannot become the external stimulus.

Moreover, the philosophers of the Ji clan discovered that this experimental subject itself is full of paradoxes. When a racial civilization finds that another race is close to threatening its status or even life, unless it is an extremely deadly race, under normal circumstances, it usually chooses to kill it in advance.

Therefore, the philosophers of the Ji clan asserted that even if this experiment continues, when it is close to success, the huge sense of threat will make the Ji clan stop the experiment.

This experiment will be pointless.

The people of the Ji tribe, who had declared a failure at the very beginning of the experiment, did not give up after frustration and reflection. They put forward another point of view, since it is not enough to cultivate opponents, then cultivate "our own people".

This definition of "one of us" is closer to being an assistant. The people of the Ji tribe suggested that at some point in the future, the thoughts of the Ji tribe might be homogenized again, and their civilization would encounter shackles, so wouldn't it be enough to bring out some non-ji tribe people to break the situation?

Because each race has a different structure, the world it observes is also different. For example, with the dual-primary-color perspective of the Ratman, it is never possible to imagine what kind of colorful world is presented in the 24 primary-color big eyeballs of Pippi Shrimp.

The world in the eyes is different, and the cognition formed will naturally be different. And this kind of difference in cognition of things, if they collide, can they produce more intense and brighter sparks?

Following this line of thought, new experiments soon began.

The Ji clan artificially bred two high-intelligence races, and then raised their cubs according to the model of the Ji clan's cubs. Learn all kinds of knowledge level by level.

Sure enough, because of their different cognitions, they raised many questions about the Ji clan's knowledge. For example, the red in the eyes of Ji people may be blue or purple in the eyes of another race. But because they learned the knowledge of the Ji clan, they recognized the blue in their eyes as red. But this doesn't change the difference in what they see in their eyes.

However, this basic difference does not have much impact, but as more and more knowledge is acquired, more in-depth cognitive differences finally collide.

The result is gratifying. This kind of collision provides the Ji clan with novel ideas and different perspectives, which can help the Ji clan break through the shackles.

But it didn't take long for the problem to reappear.

Since these races are highly interfered by the Ji clan, their growth environment is the growth environment of the Ji clan. As a result, they still have a high degree of homogeneity with the Ji clan, and cannot bring too much inspiration to the Ji clan.

To put it simply, they don't have their own culture, and many of their cognitions are solidified by the Ji clan. Just like the color problem, they think that the blue in their eyes is the red in the Ji clan's cognition, but in fact, the color in their eyes is something else completely in the Ji clan's knowledge.

This kind of cognitive solidification led to a collision of thoughts, but it was not intense enough, and the help to the Ji family was not as great as imagined.

If there is a problem, then solve the problem. Since they do not have their own culture and are not a purely natural civilization, then make corrections on it.

The heavens also favored the Ji clan, and soon, during routine exploration operations, the Ji clan discovered a living planet. A race with high intelligence has been born above, and has developed to the level of smelting metal.

The Ji clan was ecstatic, they didn't interfere with them too much, and only gave some simple guidance. When the civilization of this race developed to a certain level, the Ji clan secretly kidnapped several of their top scientific researchers...

Although these scientific researchers have far less knowledge reserves than the Ji family due to the limitations of their own civilization, individuals who can stand out in a civilization are by no means ordinary people.

After arriving at the Ji Clan, they frantically absorbed new knowledge and raised a lot of questions about it, which gave the Ji Clan more inspiration, sparks of inspiration, and more intense collisions.

The Ji Clan was very excited by the success of the experiment again, but soon they discovered new problems...

That is, in a natural civilization, individuals who grow up have a very high sense of racial identity for themselves. The Ji clan relies on captives. Although some individuals will choose to submit, there are also many individuals who regard the foreign clan as a scourge and would rather die than submit.

This kind of flaw is unacceptable to the Ji clan.

Therefore, in the following days, the Ji clan conducted a large number of related experiments. Finally, it has been developed to a model similar to today's.

If the Ji clan exploration team discovers a new life planet and has bred a potential race, it will mark it and put the star series into protection. And on the planet or planet satellite, bury a small warship. Commonly known as good luck.

Because although the Ji clan's technology is advanced, their creations are still unable to resist the invasion of time. Therefore, this time point is usually chosen to be buried between the race entering the Stone Age and the Metallurgical Age.

When this race continues to develop and discovers this "good fate", the Ji clan will receive news and focus on this race.

This battleship is both a "good fate" and a "test paper". By reversing its speed, the Ji clan can get the data related to this race.

In this regard, the Ji family has a mature scoring system.

For example, the Riken tribe has a long lifespan, efficient organization, a large number of senior scientific researchers, and a fast reversing speed. In the scoring system of the Ji tribe, it is enough to be rated as excellent. This process needs to be observed for a long time, usually around a hundred years.

After the scoring is completed, the Ji Clan will come, indicating that the battleship crashed here many years ago, and they will show their force while taking back the battleship. After deterring the native civilization, the civilization will be invited to visit the Ji clan.

The more advanced Ji clan will definitely open the eyes of this group of "bumpkins". At this time, the Ji clan will offer to help the native civilization.

Of course, it's not free.

This native civilization needs to send the best scientific researchers to work in the Ji Clan. Although the knowledge learned in the Ji Clan is not allowed to be leaked, these scientific researchers can earn points by various means and exchange these points for relevant theoretical knowledge, or It is a physical drawing.

The price is clearly marked, and the child is not deceitful. While fully stimulating the potential of these foreign scientific researchers, they also try not to create negative emotions.

Of course, in terms of preventing leaks, the Ji clan also has a complete system to protect their own interests.

A gentle method will bring more benefits than forcing it. This is the result of the Ji family's unknown number of rounds of experiments. However, in order to ensure that tigers are not infested, each native race is limited to its own home galaxy. Once they reveal their ambitions beyond their own strength, the army of the Ji clan will descend.

This order established by the Ji clan has been maintained in this area for tens of thousands of years, until something happened that changed everything.
