Chapter 306 - Chapter 306 305

Chapter 306: 305 Chapter 306: 305 Of course, most facts don’t need to be hidden too much. Over the years, the development of the new civilization, the construction of the Space Port, the construction of underground bases, and the growth of the population, etc., even if intercepted by an alien civilization, wouldn’t pose too great a security risk. Would aliens really travel across dozens or hundreds of light-years to attack humans? The probability of such a possibility, theoretically, is just too low.

“…the above are the achievements our branch has made in recent years.”

As the host’s clear voice concluded, everyone’s eyes moistened.

It turned out that over the years, the entire civilization had accomplished so much–it was nothing to be ashamed of, absolutely nothing!

Worthy of the hard work and sweat poured into it!

Luo Na rubbed her eyes and then gave her husband sitting beside her a glare, “A 150-year-old man, and you still act like a child.”

“It’s just some sand in my eye…blow on it for me, quick.” Ye Kaifu hurriedly turned his head, trying to cover his embarrassment.

Next was the sharing of technological advancements…

The Golden Age had so generously shared its new technologies, which took five hundred years to develop, namely “Supergravity Theory and traveling using Cosmic Strings,” so Earth Era couldn’t hide its achievements.

The new civilization had made a lot of good progress in these 105 years.

For example, mathematics–most of it was traded from the Glizerians, a whole bunch of odds and ends.

So many excellent mathematical results needed to be learned and discussed, causing a surge among the mathematicians of the new civilization. Humans had also made quite a few achievements themselves, so sending some of these outstanding scientific achievements over was indeed necessary.

“The folks at the Golden Sun will certainly be in for a surprise!” Zhang Yuan excitedly thought.

Mathematics, of course, is a very, very important subject. Without mathematics, all other natural sciences would be like castles in the air.

Secondly, some progress in subatomic research–achievements made by exploring high-dimensional space. This area was still being explored and, compared to the entire mathematical system, was much less advanced.

Thirdly, biological materials, including the burgeoning biological chips–a branch of technology brought by the Universal Factory. Biological chips, a technology not developed by Earth Civilization, were unlikely to be researched by people on the Golden Sun. These chips were more stable and enduring than Photon Chips, and they had unique advantages in simulating neural networks.

Fourth, the more powerful 3D printing capabilities–another technological offshoot of the Universal Factory. People had so far managed to replicate another Universal Factory.

Fifth, research on the human brain and memory retrieval–a few research achievements of the Bozeman Quantum Self-Consciousness Converter.

Sixth, the life sciences–research findings on alien life forms from Gliese 581g.

Besides these scientific knowledges, the latest technologies of “Consciousness Upload” and “Virtual Worlds” were not mentioned for now, because these matters were too sensitive. They were even kept in the most confidential secret, and the common public on Satellite 1 did not know about these technologies, so it was even less likely to be sent over.

It wasn’t that Zhang Yuan and the others were being stingy; this was level 6 civilization technology, after all, not something that could be explained in a sentence or two. To send it over completely would take several hundred PBs! Plus, the black technology that could accidentally kill oneself, if sent over rashly, who knows, it might just destroy other human civilizations!

Moreover, if these pieces of technological information really encountered a one in a hundred thousand chance of being intercepted by other civilizations, the rest could be ignored; they were merely Level 1 or Second-level Civilization technologies not worth the huge spatial distance to attack humans.

But Level 6 Civilization technologies really could attract the covetousness of other civilizations! They would have enough motivation to attack the vulnerable humans.

So, taking all this into consideration, for the safety of all human civilizations, it was better not to send them.

All communication must be conducted on the premise of safety and reliability.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan felt a surge of excitement and pride, yet he couldn’t help but stroke his old face.

He felt…oddly strange!

“The vast majority of scientific achievements were obtained from other civilizations, or one could say that after having a general direction of research, it was like picking fruit, picking the technological results directly.”

Thus, in terms of both breadth and depth, they greatly surpassed the accomplishments of The Golden Age.

Yes, greatly surpassed!

Even so, people still held back.

“The most impressive thing The Golden Age can boast is the Cosmic String Propulsion Technology, which is indeed a remarkable achievement. And us, haha, with this basket of goodies, they will definitely be dumbfounded, even to the point of screaming in the conference room!” Li Zhendong said animatedly on the side.

His imagination had already traveled dozens of light-years, envisioning the scene of astonishment when the opposing leaders received the information, practically ecstatic to death.

“We’ve been at it for only a hundred years, they’ll definitely drool in surprise! Hahaha!” Nearly all the scientists below were scratching their heads and feeling confused, bubbling over with excitement, happier than if they had won the Nobel Prize.

“Right, I’ve had two papers selected this time, how about you?”

“I have one too!”

“Unfortunately, we can’t send everything over, such a pity…”

For research workers, reputation is a significant motivator. To have one’s name inscribed into a theorem or appear in a textbook of another human civilization, what a great achievement that is!

Zhang Yuan also said with a smile, “In fact, what we’re doing is akin to crossing the river by feeling the stones, but… crossing the river by feeling the stones is also difficult, you have to find the stones first.”

He also had a paper in the field of New Civilization History to be sent at this grand event, so he was feeling quite good.

As they chatted, they recounted past events on Earth.

Great Xia Country had been following the Great Ying Country’s lead in crossing the river throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

The first country to devise the atomic bomb had no idea how much manpower and resources it would consume–almost like a nation’s all-in gamble, scientists were uncertain, even though they knew it was theoretically feasible, they still lacked confidence…

Once the Great Ying Country succeeded in developing the atomic bomb, things seemed to become very simple afterward, and within a few years, other countries followed suit, even the Ligao Small Country boasted about making atomic bombs.

That’s the advantage of crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Once it’s known that a certain technology is indeed feasible, and with something to reference, both confidence levels and investment intensity increase greatly. Otherwise, just like the humans with the Golden Sun who made the Global Accelerator but achieved little, doubtlessly this eroded the scientists’ confidence.

Crossing the river by feeling the stones would prevent this from happening.

Especially in the exchange and collision between civilizations, a civilization from the birth of its culture to entering the interstellar era takes, no matter what, thousands to tens of thousands of years, and it may have developed unique technologies of its own. Many things come as a flash of inspiration, and without that flash, such developments might never occur.

So, under such circumstances, how could solitary exploration possibly compare with collective endeavor?

Therefore, based on this logic, it’s not surprising that Earth Era saw so many stories and rapid technological development.

Zhang Yuan said, “The most important thing is to transform it into something of our own, to lay a solid foundation for ourselves, and to avoid all those strange traps…”

Li Zhendong nodded in agreement, deeply convinced.

How do you lay a foundation?

Of course, it’s through manufacturing, building, converting theory into practice–a massive “Kunlun Mountain” coupled with more than twenty warships was not done in vain but a process of turning knowledge into power.
