Voyage of the Stars

"Think about it. It is reasonable for each technology to compete with the next level of civilization. The first scientific and technological revolution was marked by the invention of the steam turbine. Since then, our Deep Blue Star civilization has entered the machine age, and the level of productivity has greatly affected simple farming and animal husbandry. Times are simply crushing!”

Maybe this time the humans didn't reply immediately, which gave them time to whisper.

"It makes sense, since civilizations are divided into hierarchical levels, then higher-level civilizations will definitely crush lower-level civilizations, just like the war between industrial countries and tribal countries that took place in the Southern Continent in history. kind."

“Indeed, this is real history. When the second technological revolution, marked by the invention and use of electricity, broke out, the countries that led the electrification era also crushed the countries in the steam era.

Now that we have completed the third scientific and technological revolution, secondary civilizations are also vulnerable to us who have mastered atomic energy, electronic computers, space technology and bioengineering technology.

We have comprehensively crushed the second-level civilization in many fields such as information technology, new energy technology, new material technology, biotechnology, space technology, and ocean technology. "

"Yes, I didn't expect that we have actually developed to the third level civilization. It seems that the great Star Alliance should have seen our development achievements and approved of calling us 'civilization'. Deep Blue Star Civilization. We will not encounter other civilizations in the future." An alien civilization can call itself the Deep Blue Star Civilization!”

…

At the ground command center, a group of Deep Blue Star people were talking to each other, immersed in the pride of being a level three civilization.

It's a pity that humans didn't install surveillance here, nor invade their systems to eavesdrop on their conversations. Otherwise, they would definitely be praised for their brainstorming abilities.

After a while, the Deep Blue Star people stopped the discussion, because in their eyes, the answer of the Great Covenant Alliance came: "There are no levels of civilization in the universe, just because many ancient civilizations discovered that when a civilization breaks through and masters a certain theory or technology, , will become more powerful than before, and can even easily crush civilizations that have not yet mastered this theoretical technology.

Therefore, they classified civilizations that had mastered those theories and technologies into different levels. Level one, level two, and level three civilizations were low-level civilizations, also called aerospace-level civilizations. Above them were level four, level five, and level six civilizations. It belongs to the interstellar civilization, and beyond that is the illusory cosmic civilization! "

As soon as this news came, the Deep Blue Star crowd who had just been whispering became even more excited.

Everyone shouted in their hearts: Sure enough, sure enough! We have indeed developed to the third level of civilization. After all, only by realizing the third technological revolution can we be able to land on near-Earth planets! The term "aerospace-grade civilization" is quite appropriate. In this way, as long as we complete the fourth technological revolution, we can truly set foot on the interstellar...

An interstellar civilization... should be a civilization that has the ability to travel between stars. It seems that we Deep Blue Stars are not bad either!

This must be the case, then it is estimated that mastering faster-than-light navigation will allow us to become an interstellar civilization.

And now this Covenant Alliance is so generous in telling us the scientific theory of entering interstellar civilization...it is so precious!

Thinking of this, some Deep Blue Star people couldn't help but think that the Star Alliance is a multi-civilization alliance. They thought to themselves: Doesn't that mean that the Star Alliance ignored us before, most likely because we did not have the ability to travel at the speed of light. If we had the ability to travel at the speed of light, It’s not necessarily the case that the Star Alliance invites us to join if we don’t have the ability... It’s a pity, the Sea of ​​Stars, I don’t know if the Star Alliance will take us if we apply... Oh, the Sea of ​​Stars, it’s so desirable, I don’t know what the scene is like in the depths of the universe. I don’t know if I will ever have the chance to see it in this life...

Except for some who were imagining regrets about the future, in the ground command center, all the Dark Blue Stars were wagging their tails excitedly. They all felt that the information obtained from this inquiry was too critical and important. After all, they knew their own level in the universe. It’s equivalent to knowing your own position!

However, the Deep Blue Star people who were in the midst of the excitement were directly off guard by the next message that appeared on the big screen.

The message said: "In our universe or in our galaxy, there are almost no cosmic-level civilizations, at least we have not seen them. They may have gone to more distant places, or they may just disdain to show up in front of us. As for There is no doubt about your civilization level, it belongs to primitive civilization.”

What? (°ー°〃)

What?

What? !

ah!

Seeing the information from the Star Alliance, all the Dark Blue Stars were stunned.

"Please, please, what does primitive civilization mean?" Although he had a premonition in his heart, as the director of the command center, the Deep Blue star still performed his duties and asked everyone clearly.

"Primitive civilization is another name for level zero civilization. Civilizations like yours that are temporarily unable to step out of the star where your civilization is located belong to this category. When you achieve controllable nuclear fusion, you will be considered a level one civilization."

All the Deep Blue Star people in the ground command center:

Ah this, Ah this this

Σ(°ロ°)

We are not even a first-class civilization? !

The Deep Blue Stars who just thought they had reached the third level of civilization mentioned by the Star Alliance were really a little bit off guard, especially the group of Deep Blue Stars who just felt good about themselves.

The gap between their expectations and reality is too big, making them feel very uncomfortable.

Although the facts will not change, there is a sense of gap... I didn't expect that the Deep Blue Star civilization, which I was full of pride in my heart, was actually the lowest level of cosmic civilization.

While feeling heartbroken, the Deep Blue Star people also noticed the controlled nuclear fusion mentioned in the Star Alliance information.

Thinking of this, some physicists had no time to feel sad. They directly asked the staff to send a message to the Star Alliance: What is the symbol of the second-level civilization? What about the third-level civilization? What about the fourth, fifth, and sixth-level civilizations?

Humans did not keep them in suspense and directly told the Deep Blue Star civilization all the civilization level classifications they knew.

Now, the Deep Blue Star people have completely recognized their own level! They also understand how far they are from the warp speed navigation technology.

Obviously, the Deep Blue Star civilization is much luckier than humans, and they know this information at the zero-level civilization stage.

And not only that, because humans will give them some advice next.

Of course, it is about the Galactic Center Alliance broadcast, and there are precautions for setting foot on the interstellar in the future.

First, do not expose the location of your home planet to any civilization. Second, do not answer any broadcasts from the Galactic Axis Alliance. Third, do not sell scientists from your own civilization in any interstellar trading market. Fourth, do not believe the words of other civilizations at will. Fifth, the mother star that has evolved for billions of years is one of the treasures of the universe.

Humanity gave the words it left to the dog-headed people again to this civilization that has not yet set foot on the starry sky.
