The mber of the Ji Haman civilization, the echinoderm, moved slightly: "That’s right, indeed. You know, the situation in the Milky Way is not stable, so these low-level civilizations want to relocate to the neighboring Large Magellanic Cloud together."
"But the distance between galaxies is too vast. Even a Fourth-level Civilization with Curvature Technology would struggle to cross such a distance, let alone Third-level and Second-level Civilizations. So they want to hire higher-level civilizations to serve them."
"If your Alliance is willing, you could also transport so civilizations over for a fee..."
Zhang Yuan smiled. The style of the Amoeba Faction has always been like this; they engage in almost any service other than war and destruction. With enough AmiBa Points, even hiring a Level 5 Civilization is not out of the question.
The large insect continued: "Our Amoeba Faction will also be fully cultivating the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds in the future. We welco your Alliance to venture into an unfamiliar galaxy together and pioneer a new frontier."
Zhang Yuan exchanged a few words with his companions. He had no significant objections to using the War Star to transport so low-level civilizations, especially since it wasn’t for free.
"If the price is right, it is indeed worth considering. There is still plenty of spare space on our planet."
"Besides, everyone moving to an unfamiliar place would make things livelier. Even if many of these civilizations are suspected to be Sinking Civilizations, a new environnt could bring so vitality!"
This outco was also expected. Naturally, people want to go together. The Large Magellanic Cloud is about 160,000 light years away from the current position. If the Hyperspace engine can reach 100 tis the speed of light, it will take only 1,600 years to arrive.
Such traveling ti is entirely within an acceptable range.
...
Year after year passed...
1,600 years went by.
The final 20 million humans remaining on the planet were mostly young, primarily educators or cultural creators in the arts. Traditional humans and superhumans ford their own social systems and coexisted quite harmoniously.
Because of the significant ability gap between the two, traditional humans had no need to engage in other jobs and could only do cultural work, educate the next generation, and provide service for the birth of more superhumans.
"Our civilization, the rate of change is too fast... Thousands of years ago, we were still worried about becoming a Fourth-level Civilization, and in the blink of an eye, we are already a Level 5 Civilization..."
An older teacher was leading students on a tour of various infrastructure on the planet, and he felt slightly emotional recalling this part of history.
"Teacher, have you seen the stars outside?"
"Of course! Actually, since I was born, our fleet has been in Curvature Navigation. But during the pauses for rest, you can see the stars outside."
Currently, the entire fleet is still in warp speed, and the starlight is distorted, making it impossible to see the original appearance outside.
The planet was sparsely populated, aside from the machines continuously operating, there were few traditional humans like them. Most young people were dispersed on various planets, studying each low-level civilization.
In contrast, over at the Green Leaf civilization, there were more intelligent plants than traditional humans. These plants just sat silently under the light, responding lazily when humans actively communicated with them, usually staying in place to provide so food.
"Teacher, when will we be able to study aliens?"
The Mountain and Sea vessel carried four alien civilizations, the Kyushu carried five, and the planet of the Half-sphere Civilization carried six. As for the Ji Haman civilization’s War Star, it carried dozens of low-level civilizations.
These alien civilizations were mostly in a state of hibernation, with only a few people awake.
In fact, facing a Level 5 Civilization made these low-level civilizations sowhat apprehensive and reserved.
"When you are adults, you will be able to interact with aliens! By then, the biggest task will be to fully understand yourself and know what you want and who you want to beco, enabling you to choose whether to undergo transformation... If you don’t, then you can probably work in humanities and social sciences like I do."
"Why upgrade and transform?" asked a girl.
"Because it can make you smarter!"
"Why beco smarter?" At this age, it’s natural to keep asking until the end.
"Without becoming smarter, it’s hard to learn more profound content... The gap between both sides is just too vast..."
Now, the content students study has beco simpler. Most focus on humanities and social sciences, predominantly moral and ethical studies, human history, language arts, and cosmic astronomy. Physics, chemistry, and mathematics courses have been reduced in proportion, with difficulty similar to that of the 21st century. More advanced content has essentially beco electives.
This is because, through cognitive enhancent, it’s easy to catch up with the coursework. Traditional human intellect can no longer keep up with the tis. So in their youth, education focuses on an enlightening approach.
"What interesting physics experint would you like to see today? Let find it..." The teacher searched on the screen for a while and eventually chose an experint at random.
"The shortest path experint, haha, a fascinating experint!"
The group moved into the laboratory through the high-speed tracks.
"In mathematics, finding the shortest path among all possible paths is quite a difficult problem, which has developed into a mathematical branch—graph theory. So things like railway planning can take a long ti to figure out."
"But finding a path between two points isn’t impossible with basic thods... Can you think of any good thods?"
In this lab, there were complex mazes. Using brute force to try and find the solution could take a very long ti.
Children who have just started elentary school naturally don’t have any good ideas, so they could only use their fingers to probe the maze on the screen. After quite so ti, they felt a bit frustrated.
"If it’s pure calculation, we need to solve very complicated equations. But in a real environnt, there’s a better way to solve this."
A superhuman in the lab introduced his thod.
A sponge soaked with hydrochloric acid was placed at the maze’s exit, while ordinary paint was placed at the entrance. The entire maze was imrsed in a mixture of alkali and fatty acids. In just a minute, the paint automatically spread, as if it had Intelligence, forming the shortest path through the maze.
"Wow, how is that done! The paint is actually smarter than us?"
"It’s incredible!"
The superhuman scholar smiled and explained: "Actually, the principle is not complicated. This series of chemical reactions attracts the paint toward more acidic areas, which is the exit. Discovering with Nature might be easy, but calculating it with a computer could be as difficult as climbing to the sky, so we can’t abandon reality and develop all mysteries in the Virtual World."
Right after, he demonstrated a second thod, using an extraterrestrial fungus to find the shortest path in the maze. Placing this fungus at one end of the maze and food at the other, the fungus was also able to find the food through the shortest path, appearing to have wisdom.
The children exclaid in excitent. Due to the significant societal changes, they did not reject the superhuman community and almost daily attended interest cultivation courses in this area...
For this new generation, recognizing oneself is really a difficult thing. Only with enough experience and age can this challenging process be completed. Only by recognizing themselves can they choose their favored cognitive modules for upgrading and transformation.
Suddenly, they heard a lodious music sound from outside, as if sothing happened. When people rushed out of the lab, they startlingly discovered a magnificent nebula hanging overhead.
The Large Magellanic Cloud... they’ve arrived!
And looking back, the original Milky Way had revealed its complete structure, with gigantic disk formations and long spiraling arms.
"The Milky Way, it’s the Milky Way!"
The children jumped and shouted with excitent; at this age, they’re truly a fusion of passion and ambition.
They jumped and pointed excitedly at the Milky Way, seemingly wanting to find the location of their forr ho—the Solar System.
...
At this mont, the leaders of the New Human Civilization were devising a series of plans for the new journey.
"First is the issue of population iteration. We found that the new generation of young people, due to insufficient life experience, are unable to completely recognize themselves, so the upgraded superhumans often have low overall quality. Therefore, we plan to carry out a practice survey plan for low-level civilizations in the future."
"Secondly, it concerns the Large Magellanic Cloud, the drawing of a comprehensive Star Map, including the distribution of Cosmic Strings and interstellar civilizations, etc. The entire process of drawing can be integrated with young people’s practice and promote our trade market."
"Thirdly, the construction of the trade market; this is a massive project, including communication networks, various promotions, and cultivating trust, etc..."
"Fourthly, the construction of the Philosophy Tree, especially discussions on death. With the birth of new mbers, there will inevitably be the death of old mbers."
"Fifth is the developnt of erging technologies..."
The entire eting ca quickly and ended quickly; in just two minutes, all the participants discussed preliminary results and dispersed one after another.
At the sa ti, the various low-level civilizations above the planet also awakened from hibernation one after another as they were about to reach their destination. These aliens of various shapes all showed expressions of longing and yearning when they saw their future ho.
This is...
the new ho?
The spaceships parked on the planet started up one after another, and the entire Planet Fortress quickly beca bustling.
...
"Dear New Human Civilization, we part ways here."
"Thank you for your help all the way, and thank you for your friendly support. We hope we get to et again in the future."
The human diplomat said, "Regarding the promotion of the trade market in the Large Magellanic Cloud, we’ll rely heavily on you!"
"There’s absolutely no problem with that!"
The humans respectfully gave a salute, "May your civilization always progress."
"And may your civilization always progress!"
