The name was decided. To Lan Mu, it was good as long as it was simple and representative.
"Bring your battleship to my spaceship automatically. As for you, follow me."
Cell activated the shuttle ring on one of the walls and took the lead to step through.
The Stunned Race looked at the shuttle ring with envy. This was the spatial technology they dreamed of.
"Quantum transmission?"
"No, this is a stable wormhole?"
"Did you learn all that for nothing? A wormhole is a high-quality sphere. Its gravity causes space to sink. It's not a real hole. "
"Unbelievable. Could it be that two planes of space are connected at the same time?"
"That's too convenient. What's the principle behind this technology?"
"Don't think about it. The difference in technology is too great. Our science fiction is their daily life."
They could not understand at all. The Stunned Race's shocked expression was even more strange.
Although they had imagined that when technology developed to a certain extent, they would be able to teleport objects over long distances instantly, they had never realized it.
They did not even have an effective theory, let alone the technical requirements to realize the application.
After they carefully and anxiously stepped through the shuttle ring, they arrived at the interior of the Wanderer.
They saw a large number of humans here, but they did not see Cell.
Lan Mu had already changed back to his original form. Fortunately, he was facing an enemy like a fleet, so he didn't turn hostile.
Even if Cell wanted to find opponents, he would not care about these weaklings. As for the cold fleet, Cell was even less interested.
"Master, could they be..." Zhuo Yue said.
"That's right. It's just that the survivors of their civilization have submitted to us. They are now called the Stunned Race..." Lan Mu explained the situation briefly, including the situation that this civilization had encountered.
Soon, a scientist questioned, "What's the reason for the civilization to destroy their planet? I don't understand. Even if this civilization was discovered, the Star Destroyer Cannon could have just fired at a fixed star. Fixed stars are brighter on a large scale and are easier to hit. The efficiency of hitting a planet is too low. "
Another scientist said, "Could it be that they are showing off their military strength and their technological advantage in precision strikes?"
"It doesn't make sense to show off their military strength. Who are they shooting for? Unless it was just for their own people to see. Perhaps it was a weapon test, so they used this civilization as a target. "
This was a mystery. When the difference in technology was too great, destroying a civilization in the universe might be as simple as crushing an ant. The Stupefied Race that was destroyed didn't even know why.
Lan Mu had a premonition that the reason was very likely to be very casual, so sad that it was unacceptable.
…
The flagship of the Stupefied Race automatically sailed to the vicinity of the Wanderer through the AI. Zhuo Yue sent people to take over the 120-kilometer-long warship.
It was not a scientific research ship, so the technical information on the ship was not comprehensive, but it was still useful.
As for the benefits that the Stupefied Clan brought to Lan Mu after they submitted, they quickly showed themselves.
It was a systematic view of science and technology, and its foundation was very solid.
Every member of the fleet was a high-level intellectual. They had received professional training and had a complete knowledge system.
The Stupefied race's civilization wasn't weak, but they didn't have space technology, so they couldn't reach other star systems.
Moreover, because their home planet was the only planet in this star system, their development in the application of technology was more perfect and substantial.
Their technical theory was still at the level of atomic structure. In their words, it was level three, but they had already developed the so-called level three application technology.
A civilization had a complete and natural development history. They were very useful, and one of them was to have a predictable estimation of the level of a civilization.
The scientists of the Stupefied Race believed that the study of the deep structure of matter was the foundation of all science and technology. If they couldn't explore the microscopic world, then the level of a civilization's technology wouldn't make a big leap. At best, they could only carry out continuous application and development in theory.
All the human scientists present agreed on this point. The exploration of the basic structure of matter would determine the upper limit of science and technology. This was also the reason why Earth built so many particle colliders.
"Level one civilization is the era of using large amounts of matter, which is the era of molecular clusters..." said the captain of the Stupefied Race.
This time, it wasn't a mental communication. Lan Mu spent two hours studying the information on the battleship to become proficient in their language. He also learned a small part of their technology. He had a clear understanding of the general situation.
Listening to his description, Lan Mu quickly corresponded it to the previous Earth.
Without his influence, Earth corresponded to the so-called level one civilization. The use of matter was actually the use of molecular clusters.
Whether it was stone, bronze, iron... or later, artificial composite materials, non-metallic high-strength materials, smart materials, microtechnology devices, etc., they all belonged to this level.
In other words, Earth had been at level one since ancient times until the era of nanotechnology.
"Level two civilizations can already perfectly analyze and manipulate the internal structure of molecules, which is the era of nanotechnology. Here, they have already gone deep into the microscopic world and carried out nano-level microoperations to create new molecular substances... "
Lan Mu was able to understand the introduction of a level two civilization very quickly. This was because Earth had officially stepped into this field. Although it was not widespread, at least the Lan Bai Society was able to derive many applied technologies from the nano level.
Planet transformation projects, space ladders, intercontinental tunnels, giant canals, ultra-deep mining, underground cities, and other major planet-level projects could be easily done.
There were many applied technologies derived from nanotechnology, such as carbon nanotubes, barchi balls, nanodevices, robots, and brand-new computers. Of course, there was also artificial matter, which was to change the internal structure of molecular clusters and carry out reasonable arrangements. It could achieve things like artificial diamonds and artificial organic compounds.
"Level three civilization interferes with the internal structure of atoms, which is the era of picometers. It is also the era where applications can be used to transform the star system, and we, the Stupefied Race, are still at this stage... "
Picometers, ten to the negative twelve meters, this was at a more microscopic level. It was almost impossible for the current Earth to change the internal structure of an atom. Of course, the Lan Bai Society was an oddity and belonged to the type of building a castle in the sky. Within a certain range, this could still be done.
Civilizations at this level could achieve extreme development of extraterrestrial environments. For example, they could transform barren extraterrestrial planets into areas suitable for human habitation, carry out true geocentric exploration, and build space cities that were more convenient than habitable planets...
Reasonably changing the atomic structure meant that materials could be reorganized and recycled. Complex physical objects could be printed, and physical printers would replace all production lines.
At this level, there would be a huge revolution in the demand for material resources. This was also why advanced civilizations would not launch an invasion because of resources. That would be a very laughable reason. What do you have on your planet that is worthy of me plundering?
Although this was the case, on the scale of the universe, level three civilizations still found it very difficult to fly across star systems.
The speed of the Stupefied Race's battleship was only three hundredths of the speed of light, which was too slow. It would take more than a thousand years to fly to the nearest star.
"Level four civilizations can already use the strong interaction force to realize Fermi technology. They can change even more microscopic particles, and at the same time, they can freely control the internal structure of atoms. The era of true exploration of the universe, the era of crossing star systems! The era of our dreams... "The captain of the Stupefied Race said with emotion. There was no sadness on his astonished face, but Lan Mu could still read the sadness in his tone. The Stupefied Race could no longer freely advance to that level.
Fermi technology, ten to the minus fifteen meters. At this level of microscopic modification of the internal structure of atoms, it could be considered creation. Fermi technology played with the material world. Elements could be disassembled at will, transformed, and synthesized into another element, and strange atoms, atomic nuclei, and basic particle materials could be created.
For example, the strong interaction force caused the atomic nuclei to be tightly connected, causing the vibrations to disappear and reaching absolute zero. This method was to artificially create neutron star materials, which were incomparably hard and shockingly large in mass.
Therefore, in the eyes of this level of civilization, artificial planets could be created.
Modifying stars could also be realized, and stars could be developed on a large scale. They could go deep into the stars and even wrap around the entire star to obtain energy.
Star jump technology was also realized at this stage, using the gravity of stars to warp space and jump into the gravity field of nearby stars.
This was a very effective space technology that could greatly reduce the time of interstellar travel. At the same time, it should also be the simplest long-distance instantaneous teleportation technology. There were many conditions, the most basic of which was to be near a star, because both sides of the jump required the existence of large gravitational fields.
However, at this stage, it was still impossible to create wormholes that could be done once and for all. Therefore, a large amount of energy would be consumed every time. The massive gravitational field of a star could greatly reduce this energy consumption, which was equivalent to borrowing force.
"No wonder the universe is so vast. Only level-4 civilizations can truly cross star systems. Those that can reach Earth are at least level-4. As for a third-level civilization like the Stunned Race, in fact, they can already slaughter Earth, but they can't come over. They can't even reach the nearest star, "Lan Mu thought to himself.
At this moment, the captain of the Stupefied Race said, "Your civilization is at this stage. In fact, one of the reasons why our previous captain attacked you was because he hoped to obtain your jump technology. This way, even if we lose our mother planet and wander in the universe, we can quickly find a new home and start anew."
"Uh... Star jump means that you have stepped into level-4, but... why is your spaceship still in the realm of nanotechnology? Are you tempting other civilizations to take the initiative to attack? "
Lan Mu was speechless. Indeed, the technology of the Wanderer was very biased. As he was in a hurry to obtain a spaceship with jump technology, other than the materials related to the engine technology, the materials of the other parts of the spaceship were still nanomaterials. This was quite strange.
However, the captain of the Stupefied Race did not think too much about it, because Lan Mu had already displayed super strong biological strength. He only thought that there was a special reason. In addition, all the levels were divided according to their own development rules and did not necessarily cover all the civilizations.
"We are level-4... Hehe, the strongest technological civilization in other worlds is only at this level... Now that the peak has been raised, they can only reach level-5 at best..."
Lan Mu was even more surprised.
"How strong is the universe I'm in..."
