"It does make sense."
Li Yao scratched his head hard. He realized that he had indeed asked the wrong person. For most human beings, Long Yangjun was an "alien" herself. Even if she could accept the two little fellows, so what?
Furthermore, for those who were already scared in the first place, the picture of a primeval warrior with the dual bloodlines of the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan working together with the mysterious information lives was a hundred times more horrifying!
Even so, Li Yao still hoped to win Long Yangjun's approval. After all, they were "best friends", and she was one of the few people that Li Yao could trust at the center of the cosmos.
"How about this? Let's leave other people alone and focus on yourself."
Staring at Long Yangjun, Li Yao said, "From your personal perspective, can you accept the two little fellows? Do you want Xiaoming and Wenwen to call you 'Aunt Long'?"
"Me?"
Long Yangjun smiled and gave Li Yao an unexpected answer. "Of course I'm willing. I couldn't be more willing! Although I was rather surprised when I heard it from you just now, I almost burst into laughter when I realized what was going on. There is truly nothing more ironic in the world!
"Do you know what I thought of when I looked out of the window and saw the spiritual puppets walking down the assembly line into an iron army through self-replication, maintenance, assembly, and upgrading?"
She blinked, and her smile gradually turned malicious.
Li Yao frowned and asked, "What did you think of?"
"I thought of the scene when the Pangu Civilization Alliance 'produced' the first batch of human beings hundreds of thousands of years ago."
Long Yangjun said with a smile, "Hundreds of thousands of years ago, when the Pangu, the Nuwa Clan, and a dozen other primeval species' produced 'the first batch of human beings, they certainly did not expect that the vulnerable, insignificant, and seemingly honest' tools' would eventually end their civilization and replace them as the masters of the three thousand Sectors, did they?
"Oh, wait. Perhaps a lot of 'wise men' in the Pangu Civilization Alliance thought of that, but they thought that they had all kinds of ways to control human beings, such as the 'Three Fundamental Laws'. With the 'seals' and 'barriers', they were certain that they would enjoy all the benefits that human beings brought without suffering any harm or backlash.
"It's a pity that the potentials of the new generation are always beyond the imagination and estimation of the old generation. The brilliant and glorious civilizations perished, and the civilization of mankind took the opportunity to rise and dominate the sea of stars for a hundred thousand years!
"But today … history repeats itself, and a newer generation of lives is born. Although they seem so insignificant, vulnerable, and unattractive for now, they represent the future! Who says that they cannot represent the future development of the civilization of mankind or even completely replace the 'old human beings'? If that day really comes, wouldn't it be considered as' the cycle of justice and retribution '? "
While talking, Long Yangjun suddenly squatted and grinned at the two kids. "Hey, Xiaoming, Wenwen, have you ever thought about destroying the civilization of mankind? Why don't you give it a try? Chances are that it will be very interesting!"
"Dad!"
Xiaoming and Wenwen were so scared that they hid behind Li Yao.
"What are you doing exactly? Don't mislead the kids!"
Li Yao felt that his head was going to explode. He realized that it seemed to be a mistake to discuss the issue with Long Yangjun. "There's a limit to your joke. Don't cross the line!"
"Who's joking with you?"
Long Yangjun sniffed. "You can't have forgotten that the blood of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan flows in my veins, can you? As a survivor of the primeval civilizations, do you think that I should cheer for the brilliance of the civilization of mankind today?
"Of course, under your influence — no, no, 'pollution' — I may have sensed part of the beauty of the civilization of mankind and dropped the boring idea of destroying the civilization of mankind so that the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan could be reborn.
"But if a new generation of civilizations repeats history and replaces the civilization of mankind, I wouldn't care at all. I'm an observer who stays out of it in the first place! Do you know what 'observer' means? It means a person who sits nearby comfortably with a bucket of popcorn and watches the show. "
Li Yao was rendered speechless. He sat on the chair, not knowing whom he should be angry at.
"Do you think that I was too straightforward?"
Long Yangjun stuck out her tongue and smiled even more brilliantly. "Do you want me to comfort you?"
Li Yao said, "So, you know how to comfort people?"
Tilting her head, Long Yangjun looked at the two little fellows and said, "Do you feel that something is very strange? The magical equipment of the Pangu Civilization Alliance that was excavated from the primeval relics is quite advanced in all fields, including material science, spiritual energy, structural science, and even biochemical technology. However, the technologies of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus are relatively underdeveloped. Much more underdeveloped."
Li Yao was slightly dazed. It was indeed a puzzle that he could not figure out.
During their exploration of the primeval relics, they had excavated countless ultimate treasures of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan. The materials, structures, and mechanisms of many pieces of magical equipment could not be analyzed by human beings. They were essentially "black boxes". It was already quite remarkable that they could basically copy them.
The Colossi were the most typical examples. To this day, neither the Federation nor the Imperium could completely analyze the mechanisms of the Colossi and the components of the key components. Therefore, it was impossible to produce new Colossi in batches. They could only perform maintenance and integration on the remains.
However, compared to the sophisticated technologies and theories in other fields, the technologies of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus of the Pangu Civilization Alliance were unbelievably "underdeveloped".
If the Pangu Civilization Alliance was at least five thousand years ahead of mankind in terms of material science, structural science, spiritual energy, and biochemical technology, they were two to three hundred years ahead of mankind in terms of the technologies of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus. It was possible for the elites of mankind to completely grasp the crystal processors of the Pangu Civilization Alliance after a lot of systematic studies!
That was why human beings were able to copy and utilize the magical equipment left by the Pangu Civilization Alliance without any trouble. They could manipulate everything from blades and guns to starships as if they were their own limbs!
By logic, it was impossible!
The development of any technology was always comprehensive and synchronized. It was hard to imagine that an ancient civilization that could absorb and utilize the energy of the stars efficiently could not produce crystal processors that were a hundred times more complicated than those of mankind. There seemed to be a mysterious forbidden area. Once the specialists and scholars of the Pangu Civilization Alliance entered the forbidden area of crystal processors, their wisdom and creativity would be sealed or even erased.
"Is this some sort of … technological blockage?"
Li Yao immediately felt cold sweat all over his body.
He suddenly remembered the so-called 'mystery of apocalypses' of the Blood Stripe Virus. Before many powerful civilizations conquered the weak civilizations, they would strike and block the technological evolution of the weak civilizations in various ways to prevent the development of the weak civilizations.
Was the technology of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus of the Pangu Civilization Alliance blocked because of the 'apocalypse'?
Long Yangjun looked at Li Yao, somewhat in surprise. Raising her eyebrow, she said, "You are very smart! Yes, according to my mottled memory pieces, it is true that the technology of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus of the Pangu Civilization Alliance did not develop naturally but was blocked or even erased by somebody. But it was not done by an unknown hostile force beyond the three thousand Sectors but by themselves. "
"By themselves? Why would the Pangu Civilization Alliance block or even erase their most important technology of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus? They are indispensable forces to conquer the universe! "
Hardly had Li Yao concluded his sentence when he realized what was going on. "Information lives! The Pangu Civilization Alliance is scared of the information lives born from crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus! "
"According to my speculation, yes," Long Yangjun said gloomily.
"Think about it. Even the civilization of mankind has gradually developed a large enough foundation of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus after a hundred thousand years in the three thousand Sectors where the resources are so scarce. It is possible that a brand-new generation of unimaginable information lives will be born now that they have touched the forbidden territory.
"The Pangu Civilization Alliance has existed in the three thousand Sectors for at least hundreds of thousands of years. At that time, the resources were much more abundant than right now. There was no reason that their technology of the Spiritual Nexus and crystal processors did not significantly surpass that of mankind. Naturally, it was very likely that information lives were born, too.
"The specialists of crystal processors in the Pangu Civilization Alliance were not as optimistic as a simple-minded 'hot-blooded high school student' like you. They were perhaps horrified and found it absolutely unacceptable that the omnipresent, omnipotent information lives would replace the Pangu Civilization Alliance to govern the universe, right?
"However, just like Professor Mo Xuan once said, as long as the technology of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus continued developing, artificial intelligence or information lives were inevitable.
"Therefore, in order to prevent any trouble from happening, the Pangu Civilization Alliance decided to 'castrate themselves'. They sealed and even destroyed their technology of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus that were 'too advanced', not hesitating to regress by hundreds of years in the field and be confined to a certain low-level security level forever.
"Of course, without the support of advanced crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus, the task to modify and control the three thousand Sectors became extremely difficult. Therefore, to make up for the lack of manpower in the Pangu Civilization Alliance, they extracted the essence of the genes of thirteen species and injected them into a certain ancient ape that was carefully selected, creating the first batch of 'human beings'.
