Interstellar Immortality: Live long enough to dominate the universe

"The second game has begun."

Ella reported the first creature to reach the top of the tower, and devoutly picked up a silver-blue card with Chinese characters on it, which she regarded as a golden rule.

This is the first Proxima civilization creature to attack humans, but it is definitely not the last.

The test threshold of the Tower of Babel is not to select the "strong", but the "weak".

Because only the weak will submit to the strong and be obedient.

Ella estimated that the pass rate is one in four.

"The final test is to teach these creatures how to hide themselves and how to redeem their own civilization."

"But I didn't expect it to be so difficult. The current pass rate should be only about 6%."

"The civilization has completed the crystal implantation. When information that is unfavorable to the civilization is generated, the crystal will automatically correct it."

"This is a small victory for the civilization in the second game."

"The real battlefield is still after we go back."

Yan Xia looked at the "own people" who withdrew from the Tower of Babel on the screen one by one. They pretended to be confused like other creatures and didn't know what happened.

"Maybe we have been eliminated!"

With creatures transmitting information, other creatures are inevitably disappointed.

Each of them hoped that they were the real chosen ones.

But reality told them that they were nothing special.

One by one, the creatures left on the spacecraft, heading towards their own civilization.

But...

The warship stopped them.

"What are you going to do?"

The creatures that had just experienced loss were not in a good mood.

But the soldiers in the warship were also very cold to these challengers.

Because they received orders from their superiors, they must detain all the creatures that went to the tower, and then check them, and then observe them in isolation for a long time, and even check their thinking when necessary.

If there is an escape, they will directly launch an attack and destroy the target.

Not being able to stop those who go does not mean that they cannot stop those who come back.

As long as those who come back are stopped, the number of creatures going will decrease, so that there will be no big chaos.

After that, they only need to tell the people that the people who have climbed to the top of the tower have been produced, so that they can even nominate one person by themselves to control the people's fantasy and fear of advanced civilization.

"We can't let anyone who comes out of the tower return to the planet."

"We can't tell whether there are spies from alien civilizations who have changed their appearance, nor can we tell whether they have been brainwashed after entering."

"The information we have now is that everyone who has entered the tower has had their memories of being in the tower deleted."

"Is it really as we thought?"

"Only by deleting the memory can the guys who sneaked in get away with it."

"Anyone with abnormalities must be strictly interrogated, and those who are killed by mistake must not be let go."

About 10 days passed.

More than 3,800 individuals were judged to have tendencies towards advanced civilizations, accounting for almost one-fifth of all the creatures that went to the tower and returned.

"What should we do?"

"We can't imprison so many."

This is a number that the top leaders of the civilization never thought of at the beginning.

"Kill them all?"

"We might be the ones who die after being exposed!"

"Then bear the pressure!"

"It may be possible in the short term, but after a long time, the surface of the earth will definitely fall into conspiracy theories."

"Why not erase their memories?"

"This method is good. If their memory fragments are erased, it is equivalent to them not having entered the tower."

"But we still can't be sure whether the other civilization has other means to evade."

"First, delete the memories of those who have not been confirmed, and give priority to returning them to the residents of the third planet (Proxima c)."

"We can't keep them."

"Why not announce to the public that the tower has many floors and they need to stay in it for a long, long time? This is not a lie, at least they generally stay there for a long time."

"..."

The top leaders of the civilization discussed a feasible plan.

These released creatures will be closely monitored and restricted in the future, and releasing some of them will also make ordinary people feel more at ease.

The only thing that makes them headache is that although some creatures are stopped from staying in the universe, there are still many creatures heading to the tower.

Hundreds of spacecraft pass by every day, and then they are stopped by them, increasing the workload.

"It seems that no one has reached the top of the tower."

"Maybe there are already some, but they are hiding, like hunters waiting patiently."

The entire civilization fell into an extremely tense state.

And time, taking this opportunity, quietly passed.

...

Another 50 years have passed since the first batch of creatures that entered the tower came out.

For the creatures of civilization on Proxima b, this is almost a generation.

The creatures that were first deleted and put back did not move. They communicated normally and did very normal things. Some of them even aged and died.

Nothing happened.

The second batch of observers were also the creatures that entered the tower for the second time and were not detected to have civilization tendencies. There was still no strange information.

The third batch was the creatures that were detected to have civilization tendencies when they entered the tower for the first time. Everything was fine after their memories were cleared.

The fourth batch, the fifth batch... a total of 140,000 creatures were monitored. For 50 years, they were all normal. Even some guys who had not entered the tower on the ground were clamoring to welcome the arrival of alien civilization year after year.

"Are we wrong?"

"Is the civilization tower really so difficult to climb?"

"No, we can't miss any of them. Everyone who has entered the tower must be monitored until the last moment of death."

"..."

This is a war of civilizations. The time scale of 50 years is of course long for individual creatures, but on the scale of civilization, it is just a moment.

Yan Xia has already started to spend time in hibernation.

The time he set for himself is 1,000 years.

It takes 3,600 years for the Hundred Eyes Star to reach Proxima Centauri, so it is not urgent and only needs to wait.

Time has long been irrelevant to him as an individual. Even if hibernation is not completely prohibited, it can hibernate in the hibernation capsule for more than 1 million years.

He believes that time can smooth everything.

Including the vigilance of one civilization against another civilization.

Of course, he never placed his hopes on the slackness of other civilizations.

In fact, the chance of winning the second game was already opened among the first group of people. The role of the tower has never been to make the brain or nerves of creatures remember anything.

But to leave memories at the cellular level.

Just like a person who has swung a knife 100,000 times, when he holds the knife, he can swing it without even thinking.

Muscles have memories, and cells also have memories.

Forming memories in cells, even if the memories are deleted, these creatures will follow these deeper memory habits and generate thoughts trained in the tower outside the tower without regaining the original memory.

This probability is extremely low.

So it takes a long time to wait.

It is also worth waiting.
