Chapter 398 A New Round of Intelligence and Level 7 Technology (4K)

In the time that followed, Li Ye rode the Lark flying machine back to his house.

As soon as he entered the room, he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

After all that running around, I'm finally done.

After resting for a while, he got out of bed and opened the system panel.

A new round of intelligence has now been updated, and even epic-level intelligence has been transferred.

[1. The McCarran System. Despite the Titan Throne organization's strong admonitions, Garas is determined to leave his planetary cluster and travel to the wild system via the public transportation stargate. This imperial monster will embark on a new journey. (Intelligence Value: Average)]

2. Due to the war with the Dark Alliance, the Dagon System has suffered enormous losses in terms of manpower, resources, and finances. Therefore, the Dagon System has decided to issue interstellar bonds worth 150 trillion star coins, with a 10-year term and an interest rate of 7.23%. Given the Dagon System's B- interstellar credit rating, purchasing these bonds is not recommended. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

3. Due to a galactic financial crisis that has lasted for over a thousand years, the Kelvin Galaxy's economy has been in a prolonged slump. As a result, the galactic government has decided to forgo repaying a 3 trillion star coin international debt. This move will cause Kelvin Galaxy's credit rating to plummet, the value of the galactic government's currency, "Kelvin Coin," to drop sharply, and Kelvin Galaxy's credit rating to fall from C+ to the lowest possible E-. (Intelligence Value: Rare)

4. To date, interstellar civilizations have made 5% progress in exploring the inner universe. The inner universe is extremely dangerous; only civilizations with technology capable of traveling at the speed of light are qualified to enter. (Intelligence Value: Rare)

5. The monstrous civilization of the Loran Galaxy has begun researching light-speed travel. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

6. In the desolate star system known as "Cordisol," a very important figure urgently needs help. His current coordinates are: GSCS: GCC (12500, -3200, 150) | GSC (12900, 345.6°, +0.7°) | LRC-SOL (12500, -3200, 150). (Intelligence Value: Epic)

As usual, Li Ye quickly went through the information.

His gaze immediately fell on the fourth piece of information.

"The inner universe? What's that?" he asked in surprise.

If we're referring to the inner world of Weilan Star, this universe probably isn't much better.

To his even greater surprise, the exploration progress was only 5%.

The fifth piece of information made him a little nervous.

Unexpectedly, in less than a hundred years, the monster civilization of the Loran Galaxy has progressed from contact with space to researching light-speed travel.

"No, what will happen if we let them continue like this?" He frowned.

The key issue is that, as mentioned in previous communications with KS16, large galaxies don't really care much about galaxies like the Loran Galaxy.

Therefore, it can only be managed by tomorrow's civilization.

Thinking of this, Li Ye frowned even more deeply.

With the current combat power of Tomorrow's Civilization, dealing with the monster civilization in the Loran Galaxy would be a simple matter.

The problem is, this is an entire galaxy, and who knows how many monster civilizations there are.

To paraphrase a famous film and television figure, it's like "trying to catch ten thousand pigs"—it's simply impossible to keep up.

Moreover, the Tomorrow Civilization has just begun its development and construction in the Burnley system, and we cannot afford to cause any more trouble.

"Is there a simple, straightforward weapon that can kill without leaving a trace?" Li Ye wondered.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Have it!"

So he strode into the blueprint development center and went straight to the supervisor.

"Have the blueprints for the tech lock been completed?"

The supervisor adjusted his glasses and gave Li Ye a brief report on the current research and development progress.

After acquiring the theoretical knowledge of time travel and a series of failure data, the blueprint R&D center listed "time travel" as its main research project.

However, due to sufficient manpower, the department can allocate several batches of personnel to simultaneously advance other research and development projects.

"Now, not only are the blueprints for the technology lock complete, but several other Level 7 blueprints have also been developed," he said.

"very good."

Li Ye nodded and took the stack of Level 7 design drawings handed to him by his supervisor.

The first thing that catches the eye is the design blueprints for the technological lock device.

【Item Name: "Stealth Killer" Tech Lock Device】

[Level: Level 7]

[Additional effect: Imposes arbitrary levels of technology restrictions on the specified target]

[Crafting Requirements: 125 units of Iron Ore (Level 7), 25 units of Precision Components (Level 7)]

[Note: Tech locks are technological weapons that are subject to the laws of causality; please use them with caution.]

From the outside, the "Hidden Killer" technology lock device looks like a small, exquisite black box.

However, it possesses extremely powerful functions.

Without a doubt, tomorrow's civilization will use technological locks to directly limit the entire Loran galaxy's potential.

The technological level of the monster civilization in the Loran Galaxy will now be locked in the scale of space travel.

All the monster civilizations in the galaxy will unknowingly lose their future.

"The name 'Hidden Killer' is truly fitting!" Li Ye exclaimed.

Tech locks are not only used to limit the technological development limits of lower-level civilizations, but can also be used in space warfare to block enemy light-speed travel, space jump technology, and a range of military technologies.

I have to say, this thing is really useful.

What puzzled Li Ye was why the blueprints indicated that using the technological lock would be subject to causality.

The so-called cause and effect is probably what is meant by karmic retribution.

"Perhaps in the universe, a civilization's good fortune and misfortune are always conserved?" Li Ye speculated. "I used the technological lock to destroy the future of the Loran star system; therefore, an invisible causal link has tainted tomorrow's civilization. Perhaps in the future, tomorrow's civilization will pay the price for this."

He immediately thought of the concept of luck in the universe.

"I never imagined that metaphysics existed in the universe?" he muttered to himself. "In that case, perhaps even causal weapons exist."

Cause and effect weapon.

It is a more powerful weapon that transcends dimensional travel.

It is also the most advanced, terrifying, and philosophically significant weapon in the scientific community.

Its operating principle is "first define the result, then trace the cause".

For example, you have an enemy.

After you acquire the causal weapon, you target your enemy and set him as "killed by gunshot".

Once the results were established, the causal weapon began to operate.

It doesn't magically transform into a bullet; rather, it manipulates reality, weaving a seemingly coincidental but actually inevitable chain of cause and effect to achieve this outcome.

This process is filled with a chilling "logical compulsion".

for example.

The enemy might be reading in his study. An old pistol on his bookshelf (which he had long forgotten existed) lost its balance due to a perfectly coincidental breeze passing through the window and fell off the shelf.

During its fall, it struck a book, hooking the trigger and causing the gun to aim at the target. Upon impact with the ground, it fired successfully, the bullet striking him squarely in the head.
What seems like a coincidence was actually preordained.

It's not just about killing a person, destroying a city, annihilating a kingdom, or even bringing down a planet.

Causal weapons can do this, and through coincidences that seem "inconceivable." "So, do causal weapons actually exist in the universe?" Li Ye couldn't help but ponder.

After gathering his thoughts, he looked at the second set of Level 7 design drawings.

【Item Name: "Star Whale" Planetary-Level Space Cargo Ship】

[Level: Level 7]

【附带效果：1.燃料消耗减少90% 2.动能+300% 3.载重能力+500% 4.磨损速度-90% 5.打造所需铁矿/太空航行配件无等级要求】

[Required for creation: 10 billion units of iron ore, 5000 million units of space travel components]

I was taken aback when I first saw Li Ye.

How can you manufacture 10 billion units of iron ore and 5000 units of space travel components?
But when he saw the additional effect that "there are no level requirements for iron ore/space travel parts", he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Looking at it that way, it's not too troublesome."

The Burnley system has enough metal resources to produce it—the metal resources mined from just one planet can be used to forge hundreds of millions of units of Grade 1 steel in a steel mill.

After all, it's a cargo spaceship on the scale of a planet, so the enormous cost of building it is reasonable.

Tomorrow cannot be manufactured as a finished product in the production workshop; it can only produce a series of parts first and then slowly assemble them.

Once the industrial zone develops and the technology and skills are up to par, it will be able to produce and assemble planetary spaceships independently, without relying on mobile cities.

Li Ye looked at the supervisor.

"Speaking of which, the blueprints for the planetary spaceship were only just approved, and it's already been developed?" he asked in surprise.

The supervisor then offered an explanation.

First, compared to light-speed travel and space jump technology, planetary spacecraft are relatively simple projects.

Secondly, the blueprint R&D center is currently assisted by Novie, whose AI computing power in this level 7 city is outstanding.

Third, the time flow in the Level 7 city simulation training cabin is almost "ten years in a day". Although only three or four hours have passed since the project was initiated, the researchers have actually been conducting research for more than a year.

"I see." Li Ye nodded slowly. "So the gene blueprints have been developed as well, right?"

“Yes,” the supervisor nodded. “The drawings I gave you have been stacked in order; this is the third one.”

Li Ye turned his head to look at the third blueprint.

【Item Name: "Tree of Life" Gene Array Device】

[Level: Level 7]

[Additional effect: This city device allows for the free modification of the target's genes]

[Crafting Requirements: 500 units of iron ore (Level 7)]

Judging from the design drawings, this gene array device, known as the "Tree of Life," has no relation to any natural form in appearance.

Its main body is a huge, perfectly regular 20-sided prism, made up of countless layers of dark composite armor plates that are perfectly joined together. Its surface is as smooth as a mirror, yet it does not have a trace of warmth.

At the very center of the prism, there is a huge, slowly rotating ring structure—the “gene sequence loop”.

Li Ye couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Mastering gene technology means having "God-like" editing rights over life forms.

It can not only eliminate the chances of genetic diseases and deformed offspring by modifying genes, but also optimize the physical fitness and intelligence of citizens, and even create new human subspecies adapted to special environments.

And to create super soldiers with superhuman physical abilities.

Not only biological organisms, but also animals and plants can be modified. For example, high-yield crops and docile livestock with high yields can be designed.

Li Ye immediately summoned Lin Wu and the members of the Internal Affairs Department and showed them the blueprints in his hand.

"Now that Tomorrow's Civilization has mastered gene technology, we can begin the first round of genetic engineering," he said solemnly.

The first phase of genetic engineering aims to enhance the physical and mental well-being of over ten million people in tomorrow's civilization, completely eliminate common infectious and epidemic diseases, optimize genes, and eliminate hereditary diseases.

In the event of a future cosmic infectious disease, it may be possible to achieve immunity directly by modifying genes.

The members of the Internal Affairs Department were overjoyed and began to discuss it animatedly.

"In this way, the individual qualities of us humans will suddenly improve by a huge margin!"

"In the future, every human being will have superhuman abilities."

"I want to live to 300 years old and stay young forever."

Lin Wu looked at Li Ye, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"What's wrong?" Li Ye asked, puzzled. "If there's anything, just say it."

"My lord," Lin Wu said slowly, "although we have embarked on a grand-scale system construction project, our current population of just over ten million is insufficient to control the entire Burnley system. And the population growth rate is far too slow."

Li Ye immediately understood what he meant.

Lin Wu still has his mind on the "three-year-old adult" gene project.

For a moment, many members of the Internal Affairs Department who were having a heated discussion fell silent.

Everyone looked at Li Ye, waiting for his decision.

Li Ye's eyes flickered.

As the head of civilization, he rationally sided with Lin Wu, because this would facilitate the rapid expansion of human civilization.

As an individual, he strongly opposed it because it was a serious violation of ethics.

Ultimately, it all comes down to that same point.

Humans are not livestock.

Therefore, Li Ye decided to hold a vote in Tomorrow's Civilization.

Novi was put in charge of issuing announcements, making inquiries, and counting votes.

A moment later, Novi received her answer.

More than 99% of the citizens of Tomorrow's Civilization strongly oppose this plan.

"Ultimately, the technological development of tomorrow's civilization is too fast, and our human thinking can't keep up," Lin Wu concluded.

Li Ye nodded slightly.

He largely agreed with Lin Wu's statement.

If the interstellar development of tomorrow's civilization continues for several hundred years, and the citizens' thinking gradually catches up, perhaps the plan can be successfully launched.

"If that's the case, our civilization of tomorrow will still face a huge population shortage," Lin Wu warned. "If we don't solve this problem, the development of the Burnley system will slow down considerably."

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a solution," Li Ye replied.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he gave the answer.

We recruit civilizations from outside the region and incorporate them as members of tomorrow's civilization to work together to build the Burnley system.

That is, interstellar civilization migration.
