Chapter 570: Chapter 567: Contact... Radiant Galaxy!

The current human perception system is depicted through an abstract mathematical system called "T function." This is a highly abstract and complex entity, which even involves human self-awareness, and still has many missing parts that must be synthesized and skillfully applied through long-term practice.

If we could fully depict the so-called T function and integrate it into an auxiliary brain. Then, the thinking capabilities of the auxiliary brain software system would not be much different from the human brain itself, the only difference being that it couldn’t secrete various hormones.

And hormones regulate various human physiological behaviors, which then involves the content studied by a Level 5 Civilization.

After explaining all this, everyone’s morale was successfully inspired.

Everyone excitedly discussed, and unanimously chose the second path, to develop a new color first!

Whether it’s creating foreign exchange or improving the T function, it’s a very meaningful thing.

Zhang Yuan gave a wry smile and then immersed himself in intense work...

The restarted laboratory was not the only one; needless to mention engineering, it also included all aspects of the technology tree of New Human Civilization, including physics, chemistry, biological sciences, Information Science, etc.

It is believed that in the next few decades, these laboratories will again cultivate many outstanding talents, standing at the forefront of the technology tree, pioneering new branches...

...

Time slowly passed, and two months later, something big happened!

A team of human diplomats, journalists, and hundreds of soldiers, riding on 4 spaceships, were now approaching the planet where Radiant Galaxy was located.

The "Radiant Galaxy" was behaving rather strangely, just staying in its own synchronous orbit, moving with the planet.

Observing through an astronomical telescope, the industrial activities below were not frequent, only a few fusion-powered lights shining, and even... it seemed like one had gone out?

This was becoming more and more bizarre!

And to top it off—neither party had greeted the other even once, which was totally abnormal!

After some discussions, the human top echelon of this branch sent a series of electromagnetic signals to the Radiant Galaxy, greeting the other party.

A month passed, but still no response was received.

This made everyone in the know feel a bit uneasy. Plus, with public outcry starting to arise, the decision was made to simply send a few spaceships over to check things out!

The diplomat leading this mission was named Shen Chao, who had once been in charge of communicating with the Tos Civilization and was considered a veteran diplomat. To this day, his heart was still a bit nervous; he was no longer nervous about communicating with aliens, but communicating with so-called kin was unprecedented for him.

When the "Escape Plan" began four hundred years ago, he had not been born yet and hadn’t experienced the social turmoil of that time. Fortunately, there were a few elders in the team who had experienced it; this time was specifically meant for visiting relatives, and they were recording shows inside the spaceship.

The hoarse voice of the elderly resounded through the television station: "...back then, we were still students, hadn’t even left the campus, entered society, when this happened, and my two sisters left with them."

"I wonder how these relatives have been over the years... They have been in hibernation for a full three hundred years, they should still be quite young."

These elderly people remembered how they had dedicated their lives to the entire civilization; their faces had long aged, and they couldn’t help but sigh.

Out of curiosity, a reporter asked, "Why didn’t you go with your relatives at that time? Do you have any regrets over these years?"

One of the elderly replied, "Because I hadn’t felt that feeling yet, I had just stepped out of the school gates... There were many friends in school who asked me not to go. Sometimes I wanted to leave with my sisters, but... alas, it was a very conflicting time then!"

"Then, after stepping out of the school, I had no choice but to start struggling—it’s sometimes regrettable, but I have persevered through it all."

The old man recalled the past and, smiling, said, "Many young people nowadays are too demanding of others... Without having truly experienced it, they won’t understand that feeling."

For many topics, the old man avoided discussion.

During the interview, as they were about to reach their destination, the diplomat Shen Chao took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, then donned his Power Armor and headed to the spaceship’s communication room.

The speed of these spaceships wasn’t fast, having flown for nearly a month. As they neared their destination, the journalists pointed their cameras towards the starry sky...

The entire live broadcast was a bit delayed, but the clarity of the image was still acceptable.

It just so happened to be the weekend, and many people had turned on the live stream to watch this program. Zhang Yuan and Lin Xuanyuan were no exceptions; they sat on their sofa at home, quietly staring at the screen.

This was the first moment of re-contact between two civilizations!

"...Since four hundred years ago, we separated due to differing ideals. However, four hundred years have passed, and we have completed all the Planet Engine development plans," the female reporter said with a pleasant voice, brewing a very peculiar emotion.

"Today, we come bearing peace and the friendship of old."

People’s emotions were complex, as the entire "Escape Event" had taken place just over four hundred years ago today.

With the extending lifespan project underway, people’s lifespans had begun to exceed the once long-standing limit of five hundred years, so four hundred years didn’t seem that long.

Some people who had experienced those darkest times seemed to have a brewing anger, but after so long, it didn’t feel as intense as imagined... Yet, many young people didn’t feel that way.

"They are deserters, deserters!"

"A bunch of cowards!"

"...Folks, there’s no need to criticize them like this, at least they put a lot of effort into the entire project. Some even devoted most of their lives... We should proudly tell them that all plans are completed!"

"Why should they reap the fruits of our victory?"

The public sentiment online was tumultuous, with very heated discussions between individuals.

Young people had their own ideas, and the elderly had theirs.

The elderly thought these people’s actions were understandable, but the young were very discontented and upset.

Above that big ice ball, the communication device would send data to this area, and two human branches in the same planet system could both receive this data.

The human branch of Kunlun Mountain couldn’t block out this data, meaning the other side could potentially gain Curvature Technology "without effort."

Thus, some were dissatisfied.

Everyone had their own viewpoint, and discussions turned into arguments, with many people still looking down on others; however, some expressed understanding...

Because during extended periods of overtime work, many people had entertained thoughts of giving up, but managed to persist through the motivation of several Transcendents and the overarching societal trends.

They could understand the mindset of those who fled.

And these young people hadn’t worked nearly as long, perhaps even less than those who fled, so what right did they have to disdain others?
