Deep Space Wandering Fleet
Chapter 309 - Chapter 309 Chapter 308 Meeting in the Future

Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Meeting in the Future Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Meeting in the Future In a rush, everyone had gathered in the large conference room, while those who couldn’t come in time were holding remote meetings in different locations.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm; it’s not bad news, but rather something tremendously good.” The leader on stage tried hard to control his emotions, but he couldn’t suppress his excitement.

“The Earth Era has sent us a message, just now, which has been intercepted by our observatory… The civilization branch representing the Earth Era is still thriving, which is absolutely good news for all of humanity.”

The leader didn’t keep them in suspense and immediately turned on the large screen.

It displayed: “Greetings to the friends of The Golden Sun. This is Gliese 581, representing the human branch of the Earth Era…”

Just this introduction was enough to excite all the members of the meeting.

Even some who were unaware were momentarily stunned, and the whole conference room buzzed with excitement within a few seconds; even the reporters at the back were all in a turmoil.

Even Xu Peng, weathered by many storms, couldn’t hide the excitement in his heart.

“Good, very good.”

“Good.”

It was a strong surge of warmth originating from dozens of light years away.

However, in the end, he sighed and said disingenuously, “It’s not wise, the development of the Earth Era has only been for a little over a hundred years, completely insufficient.”

“According to this, they must have started building large signal transmission devices immediately after receiving our message…”

“Yes, unwise,” Lu Zhongping responded. “The production power should have been used for development… using it to send messages is too wasteful.”

But the next sentence silenced all the attendees.

“We are delighted to inform you that our civilization has developed very well over these years, and it is about to split into a new sub-civilization soon.”

“A spaceship called Kunlun Mountain will embark on its deep-space journey along the Cosmic String numbered GB781…78.”

Xu Peng and Lu Zhongping looked at each other, their eyes flickering with intense surprise and joy, before bursting into laughter together!

“We underestimated them!”

“No… they have already moved ahead of us! Our spaceship hasn’t even launched yet!”

It took two seconds to go from bustling to silent.

From silence to bustling, another two seconds.

People heatedly discussed what exactly had happened with the Earth Era.

According to the usual development pace, it was unlikely that they would achieve such advancement in just over a hundred years, even surpassing the branch of the Golden Sun.

Thus, people became even more interested in the development of the Earth Era.

Subsequently, wave after wave of information pushed people’s emotions to the pinnacle, including the crises encountered by the Earth Era, various achievements, and the history of the Glizerians, all of which were highly valuable information.

Xu Peng didn’t know what to say anymore, as his emotions were too overwhelmed, and his wristwatch was alerting him that his blood pressure and pulse rate were abnormally high, posing a risk of a cerebral stroke!

As the smartwatch alerted him, it automatically reported the information to the medical office, and relevant robotic devices began moving, heading to the conference room for an inspection.

Indeed, he wasn’t the only one experiencing health anomalies; a large number of robots mobilized simultaneously.

Medical center staff also noticed the abnormal data, suspecting that some emergency might have occurred in the central conference room.

The meeting inside was attended by all the high-ranking leaders of the civilization. If something were to really go wrong collectively, the entire civilization would be crippled for the most part, and even if they all committed suicide, it wouldn’t compensate for the loss.

Upon receiving the notification from the medical center, the leaders on stage were persuading a few overly emotional elders to step out of the conference room to calm down.

As a result, these elders retorted angrily, truly furious, as they wanted to know the results now, and not a second later.

After a chaotic commotion, everyone finally began to calm down gradually.

Xu Peng patted his heart, “Little Lin, don’t worry, I won’t die… After taking the medicine, aren’t I fine? People live for happiness! Today might be the happiest day of my life!”

The young nurse looked at the Old Captain with a conflicted expression, her mind in a turmoil, thinking that the most exciting moments had passed and there shouldn’t be any major problem now.

She secretly took out her phone and sent a message.

Indeed, the common people on the internet were already celebrating, and she was secretly live streaming!

Of course, this kind of live stream was within permissible limits…

“That is to say, the branches of the Earth Era, whether in social progression or scientific advancement, have surpassed us.”

“Is this the benefit of civilization collisions then, the risks and opportunities?”

“Let’s see, this so-called fully automated 3D printing production line is indeed a good thing. If we could set up a Universal Factory inside the spaceship… We wouldn’t need to carry so many production lines, and the maintenance inside would become much simpler. The spaceship could operate for a much longer time.”

The leader on the platform cleared his throat, “The messages sent by the other party are not limited to just this one. Next, please welcome Material Scientist Professor O’Blair, who will explain this paper on Biological Materials…”

The messages sent by the Earth Era were numerous, far exceeding those sent by the Golden Age.

For the Golden Age, which had long stalled in technological progress, it was nothing less than a godsend!

Humans, after all, are a short-lived species. When the timeline of a project exceeds a person’s lifetime, it always provokes a feeling of laziness. When huge efforts have been made but progress is still delayed, exhaustion and indolence inevitably arise.

They had been deprived of the benefits of technological progress for far too long, which was undoubtedly detrimental to the entire civilization.

Therefore, the high echelons of civilization decided to adopt a more aggressive strategy to boost intelligence.

But now…

As Professor O’Blair spoke, he suddenly realized that his calculations and assumptions were completely different from the approach of the paper, resulting in him being utterly stuck and unable to speak for quite a while.

And beneath the platform, a wave of good-natured laughter arose, followed by applause.

Professor O’Blair also smiled, “Sorry, I misunderstood the meaning of this paper… I just realized I hadn’t understood it at all, it was presumptuous of me to come up here to explain.”

But everyone knew, not understanding was actually a great thing, it meant… the beginning of a brand-new era! The messages sent by the Earth Era were only the outlines, equivalent to the most important papers, and there’s so much more that needed to be explored and developed.

The celebratory festivities soon spread throughout the entire civilization from top to bottom.

People were loudly discussing fun facts about encounters with the Earth Era, including various aliens, and the latest technologies that could be developed.

There were so many new technologies that the deep space exploration program might be delayed by a few years.

Of course, the number of people signing up for deep space exploration had significantly increased.

“How wonderful, truly wonderful.” Witnessing these scenes, Old Captain Xu Peng couldn’t help but laugh, “Thanks to the Earth Era.”

“Hopefully, we can meet in the vast Milky Way in the future.”
