Along the way, the young military officer did not have a good attitude. Although he adhered to diplomatic etiquette and answered all the Dicerebral Humans' questions that did not involve anything sensitive, the air of superiority he exuded was still overflowing.
As a new generation of humans, ever since he was born, humans had been the undisputed hegemon of the nearby star regions.
It was a highly developed civilization with technology that was changing with each passing day. Civilization had always been in a period of vigorous development. As far as the eye could see, it was a backward wilderness. Even though he had recently discovered a civilization that seemed to be more powerful than the human race, his high-spirited and confident attitude made him believe that this was just an insignificant pebble in the progress of the human race.
After all, humans had developed too quickly. Since a hundred years ago, when the production of the wisdom elixir began to explode, it gradually spread to everyone. At the same time, the proportion of people engaged in scientific research also began to rise, reaching an astonishing 91%.
In terms of population, it was about 540 million people. This was an extremely shocking number. It was like a huge engine that pushed the human civilization to develop rapidly. In this great era that was changing with each passing day, it was only natural for people to have a mentality of looking down on everything.
However, in the eyes of the Dicerebral Humans, the young military officer's attitude was too normal. This was the attitude that a master of a higher civilization should have. They even felt that the rigid expression on his face and his cold demeanor exuded an inexplicable majesty. Even his appearance, which did not conform to the aesthetics of the Dicerebral Humans, seemed to have become somewhat noble, sparkling, and charming.
Many female Dicerebral Humans sneaked glances at the young military officer. They were fearful and had a hint of passion, even though their bodies were taller and stronger than humans.
...
Humans had long since eliminated nuclear fusion engines and commonly used antimatter. This aircraft was no exception. It could accelerate up to 0.9 times the speed of light. If there was a need, it could be slightly modified to increase its fuel reserves and could even perform short-distance interstellar travel.
Of course, the spaceport and Earth were only slightly more than a million kilometers apart. By accelerating to a mere 1,000 kilometers per second, the aircraft had already entered near-space. Soon, all the Dicerebral Humans were captivated by the beautiful scenery of Earth.
Looking down from space, other than a jade-like green, there were no other colors on the continent.
If the ocean was a sapphire, then the continent would be an emerald embedded in the sapphire.
Over the years, the human footprint was still "holed up" in the northern hemisphere of East Asia and did not expand much. As a result, the rest of the land was basically a dense forest. In the end, the human population was still too small. Not to mention filling up the three newly modified habitable planets, even filling up the Earth would take at least a hundred years.
At this moment, they seemed to have seen something strange. The group of Dicerebral Humans began to discuss in whispers, their faces full of disbelief.
"Honorable Sir, can you tell us what that translucent layer is? Is it an energy shield?"
The young military officer followed his gaze and realized that he was referring to the African continent. Seventy years ago, this continent had been shrouded by a layer of massive electromagnetic force field, becoming a paradise for mutated beasts. He nodded and said lightly, "That's right.
"A large number of mutated beasts are gathered there, so there's a certain degree of danger. Therefore, that continent was isolated."
All the Dicerebral Humans looked at each other when they heard this. What kind of terrifying creature would need to be isolated by something that was obviously an energy shield? Moreover, since it was dangerous, why not destroy it?
The energy it consumed every second was probably equivalent to the energy consumption of their entire planet in a year. They did not believe that with the strength displayed by the advanced civilizations, there would be any terrifying beasts that could threaten them.
However, the alien master was rich and powerful, so of course he could be willful.
They asked a question, but seeing that the alien master did not want to talk about it, they wisely kept their mouths shut.
…
In fact, this continent was a concentration of all the terrestrial mutated beasts on Earth. It was currently humanity's largest genetic treasure trove. There were more than a hundred service organizations that collected genetic and biological samples over a long period of time there. Every year, more than fifty thousand new genomes were discovered, and more than a hundred innate abilities that could not be replicated by technology were unearthed.
At the same time, close to 35% of the research results came from bionics.
For example, the most sensational research results recently, the artificial miniature universe, came from a mystical mutated beast named "Taotie."
Its body was not large, only the size of a small dog, but its appetite was astonishing. It could easily eat food that was a hundred times larger than itself. After this mysterious phenomenon was discovered, it was immediately captured by humans.
In the end, it was discovered that its stomach was a completely independent space, and its esophagus was a natural space channel.
Its level was not high, so it could be cloned. However, when it was passed through the embryo, the gastric band and its independent space changed from nothing to something. Even after several years of continuous research, the principle was still unclear.
However, although there was no progress on the principle of space formation, it did not hinder humans from applying it.
Human biotechnology had already reached a relatively high level. Gene editing was as easy as programming. Humans could even set the size parameters and specific shapes in advance, directly cultivating a biological space bag that was tens of thousands of times larger than the original from the culture medium.
It was foreseeable that when these biological space bags were gradually used in the galactic mineral transportation industry, the transportation efficiency would probably increase by hundreds or even thousands of times.
…
Half an hour later, the aircraft flew over the southern hemisphere and finally stopped at the airport of Hope City.
The relevant diplomatic personnel had already come to greet them, but the standard was obviously not high, with only two people.
Soon, this group of people was sent to the state guesthouse. The specific negotiations and signing of the contract would be held two days later.
Along the way, the Dicerebral Ones were dazzled by the novel and sci-fi scenes. They were inexplicably in awe. After walking out of the shuttle door, their legs were a little weak. After tactfully rejecting the special banquet that was specially prepared for them, the group began a closed-door meeting.
"Their population seems to be very small. The entire planet is basically covered in forests. The streets of the cities are also sparsely populated, and business has withered." A Dicerebral Intelligence Officer took the lead and said, "This shows that their technological potential is not great."
"But with a gap of thousands of years, how many years do we need to catch up? Ten thousand years, tens of thousands of years, these are not questions that we need to consider now. " The Dicerebral Intelligence Officer knocked on the table and said solemnly, "Right now, the most important thing for us is to collect information that is useful to us, especially regarding technology, social forms, and various advanced development experiences. Then, we will humbly learn from them."
After implementing the central idea, the Dicerebral Beings continued to discuss the information they had collected along the way.
"Their automation is very high, and artificial intelligence fills every corner. Service-related personnel have basically been eliminated. I just don't know how the factories are like. I think it should be the same, or else they would not be able to have such a huge industrial scale. Perhaps we can also develop in this direction," a Dicerebral Being said.
"Aren't you worried about the rebellion of artificial intelligence? This will lead to the destruction of civilization!" a Dicerebral Being fiercely retorted. The Dicerebral Beings had long had artificial intelligence, but due to the impact on society and the possibility of it going out of control, it had always been used on a small scale.
"This is the inevitable trend of the development of civilization. Fire is scary, and so is electricity, but in the end, they were tamed by us. I'm afraid that it will not solve any problems. What we should do is to control it. What's more, now that we have a sovereign nation, and since the humans do not want to destroy us, it means that we are useful. Even if there are problems, as long as we humbly ask, I believe that the humans will not sit idly by. "
