Chapter 353 "Civilized Separation Guidelines" (4K)

With the water ice resources transported out, Fireseed Planet truly possessed an "ocean".

Viewed from space, this artificial planet is no longer a monotonous rocky brown, but rather resembles a huge, exquisite sapphire.

The ocean's color has been precisely controlled to present a purer azure blue than Earth's oceans. This is because the initial purity of its water is extremely high, and the algae population has been optimized to refract an almost transparent cyan-blue hue.

The bay is winding and gentle, while the cliffs are majestic and steep, and the artificial atoll is enormous.
With the help of urban AI calculations, the coastline along the way also appears extremely varied and well-arranged.

Next came the task of creating the "atmosphere" of the Fire Seed Star.

It sounds simple, but in reality it is a far more extensive, intricate, and lengthy system engineering project than building mountains and rivers, and it needs to be divided into multiple stages.

The first stage is the initial foundation laying of the atmosphere.

If it were a natural planet, it would take millions or even tens of millions of years to evolve an atmosphere.

But the core of Mars can be manipulated.

Under the manipulation of urban AI, the Earth's core heated up again, triggering artificially created volcanic eruptions. These volcanoes, like giant "champagne bottle corks," violently ejected massive amounts of gas that had just accumulated in the mantle into the air.

At the same time, the seawater also began to evaporate and decompose due to the high temperature transmitted from the planet's interior.

Over time, a thin but extensive initial atmosphere eventually formed on the surface of Mars, slowly generating a greenhouse effect.

The second stage involves introducing external gases to enhance the greenhouse effect.

To achieve this, the Sacred Revelation spacecraft needs to activate its gravity sensors to capture and transport comets and asteroids rich in various gases, allowing them to impact the surface of Mars at just the right angle and force. The immense energy from the impact will instantly vaporize the ice, releasing large amounts of water vapor, ammonia, and methane to enrich the atmosphere.

The third stage involves introducing a large number of microorganisms into the atmosphere to consume carbon dioxide and form oxygen.

The fourth stage involves gradually manipulating the Earth's core to generate a natural magnetic field that envelops the entire planet, preventing the atmosphere from being gradually stripped away and blown away by high-speed particle streams in space.

With the coordination of urban AI, the construction of the atmosphere of the Fireseed Star has begun to proceed in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Constantine couldn't help but sigh.

"Even artificial planets need to create an environment completely similar to the planet Weilan for us humans to survive. We humans are really fragile creatures."

Chu Shanhe smiled and shook his head.

"We are fragile, but we are also resilient and strong."

Following closely behind was the installation of planetary engines on this artificial planet.

In this way, the Fireseed Star gained the ability to navigate autonomously.

Currently, the Sacred Revelation has been equipped with six 6th-stage planetary engines.

Their locations were precisely calculated and evenly distributed at the boundary between the planet's core and mantle.

This location allows for direct thrust to the planet's core, maximizing propulsion efficiency, while also distributing the immense thrust evenly across the entire planet's structure via a robust mantle framework, preventing the crust from collapsing due to localized stress.

From the outside, the planetary engine looks like a giant metal mountain emerging from the planet's crust.

Its base is directly fused with the continental plate, and its main structure extends deep underground, connecting to the planet's reinforced mantle framework. The visible portion is a super-massive dark metallic frustum base, topped with a bottomless jet vent.

Its surface is covered with massive radiant heat sinks, like the scales of a dragon. Surrounding the base is a crisscrossing superstructure, including energy transmission towers, coolant pipes, and maintenance access points.

With the cooperation of numerous engineering-type mobile cities, the installation of six planetary engines was completed.

The construction of Fireseed Star was thus successfully completed.

In the future, humanity will use various means to continuously transport 3 million people to this artificial planet.

However, in order to properly resettle these 3 million people, Mars needs to undertake massive engineering projects.

The most immediate concern is the transportation network of this artificial planet.

The engineering and construction capabilities of mobile cities are already very strong, and this time, the human side naturally wants to achieve the goal of creating a planetary-level transportation network in one go.

The transportation network is divided into three levels.

The first level is a planetary-level high-speed ring road.

Twelve fully automated smart highways have been built around the world for long-distance, cross-regional freight transport and personnel movement.

The second level consists of highways between cities.

Like the blood vessels and meridians of the human body, they originate from the major cities and connect the cities of all sizes on the planet Mars.

The third level refers to roads within the city.

An urban transportation network consisting of roads with different functions.

As for the various modes of transportation that residents use for travel, they are naturally manufactured through the production workshops of the mobile city.

Following closely behind was the selection and construction of agricultural zones.

Like the transportation network, the agricultural area should also be developed in one step, with a scale capable of supplying vegetables and fruits to 3 million people.

The chosen site is naturally in the mid-to-low latitude region of Mars, where the most abundant and stable sunlight can be received, reducing the energy demand for artificial lighting. Furthermore, priority should be given to plains or basins with minimal natural undulations, thus minimizing the amount of land leveling work required.

To facilitate irrigation, the authorities will also construct reservoirs and artificial freshwater lakes in several areas near the agricultural zone.

As for the crops planted, they are naturally high-efficiency, top-grade crops.

Next came the supply of water and electricity.

As an artificial planet, Fireseed has no underground water sources. Its main source of daily water is the ocean.

Therefore, humans need to build multiple water treatment plants and countless underground pipelines along the coast.

As for electricity, the solution is to have mobile cities directly build high-level nuclear power plants.

After these basic infrastructure projects are completed, there will be a whole host of other engineering projects.

The three leaders reluctantly turned their gaze away.

Before the meeting adjourned, Caron suddenly remembered something and immediately called out to Chu Shanhe and Constantine.

“I say, haven’t you forgotten something?” he said.

Constantine waved his hand.

"There shouldn't be any omissions, right? Everything on Fireseed Star has been planned out."

“But there aren’t any weapons deployed on this planet yet,” Kalon said seriously. “What if an enemy invades Fireseed Planet someday?”

“You’re right.” Chu Shanhe nodded slowly. “This is humanity’s seed of life; we must be fully prepared.”

After a moment's thought, Constantine made his decision.

"Then let's arm Fireseed Star to a planetary standard."

The edge of the McCallum system, the K8 planetary group.

After clearing and collecting the bodies of the Star Serpents from the space battlefield, the K8 planetary cluster continued its long migration.

The Tomorrow Alliance continued its journey along the K8 planetary cluster, witnessing many novel and fascinating space landscapes along the way.

At this moment, Li Ye and his companions meet with the leaders of the K8 planetary cluster civilization—all the leaders from the planetary cluster have come to show respect for the alien civilization that has traveled from afar.

The two sides briefly exchanged information about their respective star systems and civilizations, and the conversation was very pleasant. Li Ye tentatively proposed at the meeting that the K8 planetary cluster could impart advanced technological knowledge to the Tomorrow Alliance.

Especially his long-cherished theory of unification.

The moment Li uttered those wild words, all the leaders fell silent.

"One of the most important rules is that it is forbidden to impart advanced scientific and technological knowledge and theories to lower-level civilizations," one of the leaders said. "If your human civilization were to achieve rapid development, it could very well bring unprecedented catastrophes to the entire solar system, and even affect other civilizations."

“Yes,” another leader echoed. “No civilization in the K8 planetary cluster can afford the consequences.”

Li Ye was taken aback for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"So it still doesn't work after all."

Lin Wu, who was sitting next to him, was somewhat unwilling to give up. He immediately raised his hand and, after receiving permission from everyone, stood up to ask a question.

"Is it possible that throughout the entire McCarran Galaxy, there has never been a higher-level civilization imparting knowledge and technology to a lower-level civilization?"

“Of course there are, and quite a few,” the leader said in a deep voice. “But all of them have led to disastrous consequences.”

From him, the members of Tomorrow Alliance learned the name of this rule.

It is one of the most fundamental and awe-inspiring laws in the sociology of the universe.

The “Civilized Separation Guidelines” or the “Non-Intervention Principle”.

This principle does not stem from the arrogance of a higher civilization, but rather from a profound reverence and cold rationality for the ecological balance of the universe that transcends the level of civilization.

In the universe, a civilization's technological level evolves in tandem with its social structure, ethics, and philosophical understanding.

The civilizations of primitive societies could not comprehend steam engines and electricity, and the societies of the steam engine era could not comprehend the changes brought about by the theory of unification.

Giving the technology of a unified world to a civilization that has just left its home planet is tantamount to handing a nuclear bomb to an infant.

Its social structure, technological level, ethics, and philosophical understanding are far from being able to adapt to this knowledge and technology.

Energy will be used for war, technology for oppression, and social structures will collapse completely under the enormous impact.

on the other hand.

Technological bottlenecks are themselves natural filters that the universe uses to protect civilization.

Whether a civilization can overcome key bottlenecks such as energy, life extension, and interstellar travel on its own is an important indicator of its maturity and eligibility to join the "interstellar society".

A civilization that cannot even venture beyond its own galaxy is destined to be unprepared to face the vastness and dangers of the galaxy.

Upon hearing this, the members of Tomorrow's Alliance fell silent.

Although unwilling, Li Ye had to admit that this rule was correct.

Looking at the humans before them, the leaders exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

"It seems you have a deep understanding of the significance of this rule."

Li Ye fell into deep thought.

Given the current level of human civilization, it would likely take several hundred to several thousand years to successfully research and implement the theory of a unified world.

This is undoubtedly a long process.

However, human-made mobile cities have urban simulation training cabins, and the time flow ratio at level 5 has reached 1 to 360.

It's like spending a year inside while only one day passes outside.

If you study a city simulation training pod for a thousand years, only about three years will have passed in reality.

For a moment, Li Ye felt as if he had been electrocuted, and he reached out and gripped the armrest of the chair tightly.

The true purpose of urban simulation training cabins is probably to study scientific and technological theories and achieve breakthroughs.

The Tomorrow Ship now has a population of one million, which is enough to select talented individuals and begin research.

He then looked at Lin Wu and briefly explained his thoughts.

The latter seemed to wake from a dream and nodded excitedly.

“So, we can begin now,” Li Ye said in a low voice.

If the theory of unification is broken through, the technological level of the Tomorrow Alliance will undergo an unprecedented transformation.

However, amidst his excitement, Lin Wu realized something and his eyes became puzzled.

"The three major human organizations have hundreds of millions of people and unimaginable reserves of talent and technology. What we can think of, they should also be able to think of."

"In that case, they can also study the theory through urban simulation training pods. At this flow rate ratio, a breakthrough could be achieved in just a few years of real time."

"But now it seems that after hundreds of years, humanity has clearly not mastered the theory and technology of unification. This shouldn't be the case."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Li Ye was taken aback at first, then fell into thought.

Lin Wu's words do make sense.

This situation should not have happened.

"Alliance Leader, is there any possibility?" Zhou Xing asked cautiously. "For hundreds of years, humanity has been so busy fighting the monsters that they haven't had time for technological development. So they haven't thought of this."

“Impossible.” Li Ye shook his head. “A human world-class organization would naturally have a clear division of labor, and there would definitely be a research department specifically responsible for this part.”

But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure it out.

Meanwhile, the Titan Throne flagship mobile city's urban simulation training pod.

The hatch of one of the compartments opened, and a figure slowly walked out.

That was none other than a high-ranking scientist from the Titan Throne. Because he had been in the training pod for too long, he was now disheveled and his hair and beard were filthy.

His eyes were bloodshot and he was listless due to excessive focus on his research.

"boom!"

The scientist, extremely unwilling, punched the training pod.

"Why? With such a high time flow rate, plus the fact that it has been several hundred years since the project was initiated, we have not yet made a breakthrough in the unified theoretical technology?"

He grabbed his head with both hands, almost going crazy.

At the same time, he also sensed an unimaginable eeriness.

Whether it was myself or previous generations of scientific researchers, there were countless times when we were close to achieving a technological breakthrough that unified the theory, but in the end, we were always just a little bit short.

Staff members nearby rushed over upon hearing the commotion, quickly providing food and water, and administering high-grade nutritional supplements to the scientific community.

After resting for a while, the scientists declined the staff's advice and re-entered the training cabin.

"Try again!" he muttered as he put on his training helmet. "I'll succeed."
