Super God: Rise of Civilization

"Yes, that kind of civilization is a series that has gone astray. If it is really as Your Majesty said, that it does not develop civilization technology but only develops the genetic technology of civilization, then it is a technology that has gone astray."

"Even if we want to pursue great power, we must first improve the overall strength of the civilization itself in order to maximize the use of resources."

"Using the technology tree to assist the gene tree is a wrong choice."

"Biological genes are a kind of technology. It's like the relationship between the trunk and branches of a tree. You use the power of the tree to help the branches grow. What do you get in return?"

"As the branches grow, the core becomes increasingly fragile, leading to a deformed development of civilization..."

"The development of civilization does not rely on technology to assist genes, but rather uses genes to assist the progress of technology."

"To give you an example, let's not study genes for now, but instead study the technologies that can help our civilization progress. Once our civilization's technology advances, we will be able to better collect resources, make full use of them, and maximize their utilization."

"With such abundant resources, we can conduct research and development of science and technology and gene technology simultaneously."

"Perhaps by the time gene technology is available, our empire's technology will have already reached a new level, who knows?"

"The progress of civilization is inextricably linked to genes. Gene technology can extend our lifespan, giving us more time to research technology, advance the empire, and promote the development of civilization."

"The premise is that the development of civilization and the research and development of science and technology must be given top priority, and gene technology must be ranked after the main technologies."

Academician Yang Xin explained very patiently, even providing examples.

We should not blindly pursue gene technology, but rather place it after the main technologies.

Genetics is just one branch of science and technology.

However, it cannot be used as a primary technology.

"I understand. You may return."

Yang Yu nodded, indicating that she could leave.

The technology tree in this universe is inherently flawed.

It's all about individual heroism, but individual heroism can't save a civilization or drive its development.

If the Heavenly Court of Merlo is based on pure technology, with genes as an aid, would it need to search the entire universe for the Su Yin ore vein?

If genetic technology is used to help people grow, and then technology is used to feed back into the genes, how many great angels would appear in the Heavenly Court of Merlo?

"By extending the lifespan of imperial citizens through genetics, the imperial population will explode, giving birth to more geniuses and extending the lifespan of imperial researchers, enabling them to drive the imperial's technological progress?"

"As the empire's technology advances and resources are utilized to the maximum extent, it will inevitably benefit other technologies that have not yet been developed."

The crisp sound of fingers tapping on the table echoed in the imperial study. "Long Yuan, do you think her idea will work?"

"Wherever Your Majesty's gaze falls, my sword will follow."

In the emperor's study, where only one person was present, a cold, emotionless voice rang out.

"We'll see."

……

Star Era 405.

The Star Empire perfected its gene optimization technology and began to optimize the genes of its entire population. After this round of gene optimization, the average lifespan of the Star Empire's people increased to about 120 years.

This technology can completely eradicate 99.99% of genetic diseases.

The people of the Star Empire will no longer have to die from disease.

Although it is a small step for mankind, it is a giant leap for the Star Empire.

In 406, the Star Empire's engineering institute developed a manned spaceship carrying three astronauts to the moon, a satellite of the Origin Star, and retrieved samples from the alien planet.

The Star Empire gradually turned its attention to space.

But the focus remains on the interior of the origin star.

Until the year 410 of the Star Era.

"You're late." Yang Yu saw that Angel Yan had come in through the main entrance this time, and finally realized that they should use the main entrance.

"I was held up by a trivial matter. I just didn't expect your Star Empire to have reached this point. It seems I underestimated your potential. Your population has already exceeded 90 billion."

"The average life expectancy has reached 120 years."

"They've already started heading towards interstellar travel; that's very promising."

Angel Yan sat in the seat in front of Yang Yu.

Judging from her appearance, she has already examined the current situation of the Star Empire.

"Going to interstellar space? It's still a long way off; we're still just a home planet civilization."

Yang Yu shook his head.

The Star Empire has already begun to suppress China's progress toward space exploration.

Instead, they began to refine the many things that their home planet's civilization needed to control.

For example, weapons to control the weather, and technologies to better utilize the power of stars.

It's not too late for them to move into the interstellar era once they have fully mastered these technologies.

That way their foundation will be more solid.

"The Star Empire, what a fascinating civilization. It's a pity it couldn't achieve divine rule..."

Her eyes were filled with disappointment. This vibrant and energetic civilization was unfortunately not living in an era of theocracy.

Upon hearing Angel Yan's words, Yang Yu quickly pressed his hand down.

Theocracy?

Divine right of kings?

Excuse me, this is my empire. I am the mandate of heaven, and I do not need you angels to grant me power.

"I know you're not a big fan of us angels, and I don't want to waste my breath on you. I've come here just to tell you one thing: don't get involved with certain evil civilizations. They've been quite restless lately, and they really like pre-nuclear civilizations like yours."

Seeing Yang Yu's attitude, Angel Yan felt quite helpless, but she still told Yang Yu the purpose of her visit.

"I always hear you talk about evil civilizations, what are they?"

Yang Yu's heart tightened, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked.

Could it be that Morgana, that old woman, has come to cause trouble around their star system?

"It's better that you don't know. I hope that I can still see you a hundred years from now."

"The main gate."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Angel Yan had disappeared from the Imperial Study, leaving Yang Yu feeling helpless.

This is what happens when you lack power; others can freely enter and leave your home.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

Give me ten thousand years of stars, and all the gods of the universe will tremble.

Chapter 28 [Homeworld Civilization]

The development of civilization is not achieved overnight.

Whether ministers or citizens, everyone in the Star Empire is striving to advance civilization.

When the resources on Earth were insufficient for the Star Empire's needs, they turned their attention to the vast ocean of the Origin Star.

Star Era 418.

The Imperial Academy of Engineering's research laboratory.

Yang Yu stood outside the tempered glass window, watching the academicians busy in the laboratory, while Qin Ming, the vice president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, explained things to him.

"Your Majesty, we are researching optical stealth materials. These materials can not only deceive our eyes, but also deceive scientific instruments such as radar systems."

"Optical invisibility can make us completely disappear from sight, but our location will not change."

Academician Qin Ming respectfully explained to His Majesty the Emperor before him.

The dean is currently working on other technologies and has no time to receive the emperor.

Only he, as the vice president, could receive the emperor and guide him through the current progress of the Imperial Academy of Engineering.

"Where are you planning to use it?"

Yang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, observing the situation inside the laboratory. Optical cloaking was something that interstellar civilizations absolutely needed.

"Currently, our plan is to use this new material on the fifth-generation Starfighter. Once the technology is fully mature, it won't be difficult to apply it to aircraft carriers," said Academician Qin Ming.

"Optical stealth, as far as I know, cannot be achieved at excessively high speeds, as it will result in flaws."

Yang Yu wasn't a complete novice who knew nothing. He had lived for hundreds of years and would read books in his spare time to learn about the function and principles of various kinds of knowledge.

"The fifth-generation Starfighter uses reverse propulsion technology, which allows it to hover in the air at a speed not exceeding 240 kilometers per hour, making it completely stealthy," Academician Qin Ming explained, describing the effects of optical stealth materials applied to fighter jets.

"Has your engineering academy considered applying stealth technology and anti-propulsion technology to nuclear-powered aircraft carriers?"

"Your Majesty, our technology is still immature and we are afraid it cannot be applied to aircraft carriers for the time being."

Academician Qin Ming's lips twitched slightly. This was an idea that their Imperial Academy of Engineering had considered before.

But the tonnage of an aircraft carrier is terrifying.

The Star Empire's current nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has a staggering displacement of 12.78 tons.

Magnetic levitation technology is far from mature, so how could it possibly be applied to such a colossal machine?

"Take your time. I'm just suggesting an idea; I'm not demanding that your Imperial Academy of Engineering produce it for me immediately."

He knew that achieving something like this would be extremely difficult, but when it was time to put forward an idea, he had to do so.

This will also help the empire's scientific research development.

The exploration of space has taken another step forward.

Since we can't build spaceships that can fly out of the planet, we'll have large aircraft carriers or similar things fly within the origin planet.

This allows us to collect data and make improvements.

Sooner or later, we will break out of Origin Star and travel to other planets to mine resources, immigrate, and so on.

"Laser weapons? They have great potential. I have high hopes for you. I hope that your Imperial Academy of Engineering can produce one or two star-level academicians for me as soon as possible."
