Chapter 399 Adopting Civilizations and Moving Towards Interstellar Transformation (4K)

Upon hearing Li Ye's words, everyone was stunned.

"Absorbing extraterrestrial civilizations?" someone murmured to themselves.

Li Ye nodded.

By absorbing the knowledge, technology, and perspectives of numerous extraterrestrial civilizations, we can increase the chances of our own civilization surviving in the universe for a long time.

This is also an inevitable process for galaxies to become interstellar.

"With the assistance of numerous civilizations, the construction process of our Burnley system will be greatly accelerated," Li Ye said. "You don't need to worry too much; human civilization will always be the main body of tomorrow's civilization."

In fact, many members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already tacitly accepted this point.

Burnley is a galaxy purely belonging to human civilization, and in the future, only the human race will develop in this galaxy.

People generally have a tendency to reject foreign civilizations.

Although Lin Wu agreed with Li Ye's idea, he still had concerns.

“I think the vast majority of citizens in tomorrow’s civilization would not agree with this plan,” he said with a hint of worry.

"I will personally lead this plan to absorb civilizations," Li Ye said succinctly.

As the leader of tomorrow's civilization, he possesses supreme authority in everyone's eyes.

In tomorrow's civilization, everyone only respects him.

Only he could do this.

If the next generation of leaders were to take charge, they would likely lack the power and prestige to drive the plan forward. In that case, the development of tomorrow's civilization would be hampered.

In addition, Li Ye also had the idea of ​​"paving the way for future generations as much as possible".

Some troublesome plans that could easily provoke resentment or even unrest within Tomorrow's civilization could only be implemented by him—after all, no one else could possess such high prestige as him.

“Make this plan public, Novi,” he said softly. “And also, find out what everyone thinks.”

Novie quickly provided the results.

More than 77% of the citizens of Tomorrow's Civilization expressed their disapproval of the plan, and some even showed strong resistance to it.

However, after learning that it was Rino who personally led and spearheaded this plan, although everyone still did not understand, they still chose to obey.

Li Ye nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Now, let's go and absorb new civilizations."

The Tomorrow spacecraft activated its space jump device and arrived at the Z3 common star system.

The so-called public star system is like a "neutral country" on Earth.

It is not monopolized by any single civilization or regime, but is jointly managed, maintained, and used by numerous galactic authorities.

The main functions of public galaxies are economy and trade, culture and exchange, and science and research.

Sometimes, public galaxies also handle disputes between galaxies.

In reality, many refugee civilizations flee to public star systems seeking refuge, and the latter provide them with some humanitarian aid.

Li Ye heard this from an official of the Dagon system when he was processing interstellar certification documents.

He was immediately taken aback.

Using an entire galaxy as a public area is simply outrageous!

"Speaking of which, since the Dagon system is in the midst of war, why don't you relocate the civilizations within it to a public system?" he asked curiously.

The official, however, appeared surprisingly honest.

"If we relocate them to public star systems, these civilizations will become refugees and will no longer be under our official jurisdiction."

Li Ye suddenly realized.

After all, in a sense, civilization is also an "asset" in the galaxy.

An official from the Z3 public galaxy was dispatched to coordinate with the outlying entity.

The official resembled a human-standing goat, with meticulously groomed hair, wearing a respectable uniform and glasses, giving him a refined and cultured appearance.

"Hello, I am Officer BW43 from the Z3 system." He shook hands with Li Ye.

Li Ye provides a brief overview of the current situation in the Lower Burnley system and the Tomorrow Civilization.

BW43 nodded repeatedly.

“Absorbing civilizations is the process by which 99% of galaxies and civilizations move towards interstellar travel,” he said frankly. “I can understand why your fellow humans don’t want alien civilizations. After all, before venturing into space, civilizations often consist of a single race.”

“Thank you for understanding,” Li Ye replied. “You said 99%, are there any exceptions?”

“Of course.” BW43 waved.

"Oh?" Li Ye immediately became interested. "I hope you can explain in more detail."

Generally speaking, when a galaxy/civilization develops, it absorbs a large number of external civilizations, which is equivalent to combining the strengths of "a hundred schools of thought" and working together to build and develop.

But the universe is so vast that there are always exceptions.

Some civilizations don't need to take this step at all; they can achieve interstellarization of their galaxies on their own.

The most striking characteristic of this type of civilization is that its individual members have evolved to their ultimate potential.

Whether in terms of physical fitness, mental fortitude, intellectual capacity, or combat effectiveness, they have all reached their pinnacle.

That is, the "pentagonal" all-around warrior among civilized individuals.

Star system construction, interstellar trade, interstellar warfare, and the management and maintenance of galactic order.
This civilization could have achieved this on its own.

"Is that so?" Li Ye said thoughtfully.

If a civilization is powerful enough to oversee all galactic affairs, then it certainly doesn't need to absorb any other civilizations.

But humans are weak individuals and simply cannot do this.

In the universe, such civilizations are often referred to as "super-civilizations".

The criterion for judgment is whether it can independently complete the construction of a star system and interstellarization.

Hearing this, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

While civilizations in the universe flourish in diverse ways and each possesses unique characteristics, human civilization is ultimately too ordinary.

With the assistance of BW43, he began to select civilizations in the Z3 system.

As a public galaxy, the Z3 galaxy has a total of hundreds of thousands of civilizations.

The vast majority of them are refugee civilizations.

Li Ye put forward his own selection criteria.

First, they possess distinctive characteristics of a civilization. Individuals within a civilization possess outstanding abilities, and may even have unique technological advancements.

Second, it possesses a strong reproductive capacity—after all, the Burnley system is currently in dire need of development.

BW43 nodded repeatedly.

The demands made by Li Ye are actually the most common demands made by many emerging civilizations.

Tomorrow's civilization has an above-average level of technology, thus it has priority when adopting civilizations.

“There aren’t many civilizations capable of dimensional travel,” BW43 said, displaying a gigantic screen in front of him. “Alright, I’ve now selected 120 civilizations that meet your criteria. If you’re not satisfied, I can replace them with another batch.”

"Thank you."

Li Ye immediately began to examine it carefully.

These civilizations are incredibly diverse; some are marine life civilizations, some are silicon-based life civilizations, some are mythical beast civilizations, and some are energy-based life civilizations.

His fingers slid rapidly across the screen, his sharp gaze sweeping over the detailed data of each civilization.

History, social structure, potential risks, and resource requirements.
Ultimately, he chose a civilization of alien beasts: the Shadow Leopard Civilization.

Individuals in the Shadow Leopard Civilization resemble jet-black leopards in appearance, with streamlined bodies, highly developed senses, and an innate ability to leap short distances.

They are viviparous, have a short reproductive cycle, grow rapidly, and have a strong population recovery ability.

It can modify its body structure to stand upright, and its claws can also be restructured to resemble human hands, allowing it to skillfully create tools.

They are described as "capable of both fighting and working".

However, this alien civilization itself also has its flaws.

First, although their body structure is strong and flexible, they cannot survive in space and can only live on planets.

Secondly, the Shadow Leopard Civilization's technological research and development capabilities are unremarkable.

In a universally interstellar universe, this is undoubtedly a fatal flaw.

Li Ye's brow relaxed in response.

It's good that it has flaws.

If the Shadow Leopard civilization were perfect, it would have no need to join other civilizations.

He has already come up with a plan.

After joining the Tomorrow Civilization, the Shadow Leopard Civilization will contribute to the development of the Burnley System. During this period, the Tomorrow Civilization will pour in technological resources to assist the Shadow Leopard in exploring space and developing technologies, gradually cultivating its sense of belonging and dependence on the Tomorrow Civilization.

“I want this alien civilization,” he said.

Led by BW43, Li Ye met with a group of high-ranking officials from the Shadow Leopard Civilization.

The talks between the two sides were relatively relaxed and pleasant.

Light-speed travel, genetic technology, dimensional travel, microcosms, space jumps.
Upon learning of the technology currently possessed by Tomorrow Civilization, the leader and high-ranking members of Shadow Leopard Civilization immediately nodded in agreement.

"Besides space exploration and technological research, our civilization also has a huge food demand," the leader cautioned. "Can tomorrow's civilization meet that demand?"

Li Ye smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, our Tomorrow Civilization is already building agricultural zones, and those are on a planetary cluster scale."

The Shadow Leopard Civilization thus became the first new member to join the Tomorrow Civilization.

In the future, in addition to working as workers, the Shadow Leopard Civilization can also become special forces.

Equipped with a series of high-tech equipment, it becomes an "armored war panther," and coupled with its own spatial teleportation capability, it can naturally demonstrate its great power in small-scale operations.

According to the Wilderness Plan, the human civilization is numbered 001, and the Shadow Leopard civilization is numbered 002.

003, 004, 005
Subsequent civilizations followed the same pattern.

The second civilization that Li Ye chose was the Shuojin Civilization.

This civilization is a silicon-based civilization, and its individuals are similar to stone men, with their exteriors covered in sharp-edged crystal clusters.

Individuals of the Shining Gold Civilization possess an extremely strong special ability: to modify the structure of rocks/soil through resonance, transforming them into buildings and tools—an ability remarkably similar to that of the Terradon Civilization on the planet Templar.

"In other words, the Sparkling Gold Civilization is a civilization with a unique technology tree system," Li Ye pondered. "That's not bad."

In the future, the Shining Gold Civilization can be responsible for the planetary terraforming and mineral resource extraction in the Burnley system.

Soon, he met with the leader and a group of high-ranking officials of the Shining Gold Civilization.

Like the Shadow Leopard Civilization, upon learning of the technology currently possessed by the Tomorrow Civilization, the leaders and high-ranking officials immediately nodded in agreement.

They also shared their thoughts.

The Shining Gold Civilization hopes that Tomorrow Civilization will provide technical support to continue developing its own technological path, so as to make contact with space and even conduct long-distance space travel.

In short, this civilization wanted to build spaceships from rocks and soil.

Li Ye was stunned.

This is simply a fantasy.

With such simple materials, a spaceship capable of traveling in space, and even capable of traveling at the speed of light/space jump, was created.

This clearly exceeded his imagination.

"Please allow me to consider this carefully," he said, hesitating to finish.

BW43, observing Li Ye's expression, couldn't help but speak up.

“In fact, there are many technologically advanced silicon-based civilizations in the universe,” he said. “The most advanced silicon-based civilizations have not only achieved what they claim, but they are even capable of dimensional travel.”

"Is that so?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

It seems that my understanding of the universe is still too one-sided and narrow.

The two sides reached an agreement that the Shining Gold Civilization would join the Tomorrow Civilization to assist in the construction of the Burnley Galaxy, while the latter would be responsible for providing resource support and continuing to develop the Rock Technology Tree.

Before signing, Li Ye added a supplementary agreement.

The Rock Technology Tree of the Shining Gold Civilization must be handed over to the Tomorrow Civilization official without reservation.

After a long discussion, the Shuojin Civilization finally agreed to the request.

After signing, the two shook hands and hugged.

"Welcome to Tomorrow's Civilization. Let's work together to develop it from now on," Li Ye said solemnly.

Looking at the stone bodies of the leaders and high-ranking officials before him, he realized something and couldn't help but speak.

"How does your civilization possess such a powerful ability to reproduce?"

The leaders and senior officials exchanged glances and then offered an explanation.

Each individual in the Shining Gold Civilization possesses a "seed crystal," which stores their biological information.

By using rock technology, biological information can be extracted from seed crystals and injected into specific minerals/rocks, thus transforming them into "new individuals".

The new individual possesses all the biological information of the seed crystal and the knowledge and memories of the original, making it essentially a copy.

In fact, the current population of the Shuojin civilization, which is 35 billion, all originated from the initial 132 people.

To put it in a more alarming way, all 35 billion people are "copies" of these original 132 people.

Li Ye fell into deep thought for a moment.

The composition of the Sparkling Gold Civilization far exceeded his imagination.

From a human perspective, this type of reproduction can easily lead to physiological problems.

But the universe is ever-changing and full of wonders.

Different civilizations have their own ways of survival and development.

In other words, if Li Ye were willing, the Shuojin civilization could reproduce on a large scale and create a population sufficient to support the construction of the entire Burnley star system.

However, he couldn't draw a conclusion on this issue in the short term.

If not handled properly, it can easily lead to serious problems.

After dealing with the matter of the Shining Gold Civilization, Li Ye continued to recruit new civilizations.

At this moment, an energy civilization appeared in Li Ye's line of sight.

The energy civilization is considered a bug-level existence among all civilizations.

The fact that the previous ethereal civilization was able to survive on a harsh, atmospheric planet was quite surprising to Li Ye.

This energy civilization lives on a white dwarf star, surviving by absorbing the star's internal energy.

Using a white dwarf as their home planet, they ventured into space to collect resources, built spaceships and space stations, and extracted native materials from the white dwarf to establish their own kingdom.

Li Ye shook his head repeatedly.
