[Superluminal transmission in progress... Transmission successful!]
[Self-awareness retrieval... Success!]
[Transaction completed, thank you for using our service, see you next time.]
Zhang Yuan opened his eyes somewhat dazedly. Due to the different performances of each robot, his external perception had undergone a series of changes.
A voice echoed in his mind, [Database restoration in progress, please wait...]
After about an hour, Zhang Yuan's knowledge system was fully restored. This feeling carried a sense of disorientation, like an icy consciousness abruptly stuffed into his head.
However, Zhang Yuan knew deep down that these were all his previous knowledge base, and he would be able to fully adapt after some time.
"A thinking speed of hundreds of times is still not quite enough. If it were tens of thousands of times, this kind of discomfort would only last for a brief moment."
After a while, Zhang Yuan slowly regained his composure. He cautiously looked around, realizing this should be the Green Leaf Alliance's superluminal communication venue; ahead was a large glass tube, with various instruments surrounding it.
He found that his body had become the silver-white robot it was originally, the higher configuration brought a subtle sense of security.
Through a series of algorithm adaptations, he quickly adjusted to the new environment, levitating off the ground through the anti-gravity system.
"Beep!"
At that moment, the door of the room opened, a group of people gathered around, eagerly asking a barrage of questions.
"Hey, Old Zhang, awake?"
"Welcome home!"
"How is your body, was the mission successful?"
"How's the situation over there with the humans?"
"Are they still a third-level civilization? In theory, the Alef Civilization hasn't expanded there yet, right?"
"Haha, one less worry, feels great!"
Seeing so many old friends, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but smile. It had been over ten years since he left and returned. In the universe, time always slipped away quickly and quietly, no wonder these diplomats were all so eager.
"Don't crowd him, you have to give him some time to rest. Is this how you welcome him back? Have some manners!" the Foreign Minister Old Yang shouted loudly: "Let him rest, we can talk later!"
Another person hurriedly said, "Old Yang, theoretically superhumans don't need rest, don't you know? Aren't you curious about how the humans are surviving over there?"
Zhang Yuan chuckled and didn't keep them in suspense: "This journey was really quite thrilling... I've already compiled a rough report, you can take a look."
A few seconds later, Zhang Yuan organized the observations from his journey and sent them via electromagnetic waves to each one's personal terminal. These superhumans could quickly browse through this information with hundreds of times faster thinking speeds. But for ordinary humans, this myriad of experiences couldn't be explained in a short time; they could only slowly peruse it.
"Let's go, let's leave here first."
A human diplomat turned around, speaking to a small sapling: "Honored Green Leaf Alliance, this journey was completed smoothly, thank you for providing the necessary communication tools."
"Many thanks."
The small sapling said, "Serving a Level 5 Civilization is our sincere honor. Just a short while ago, the Amoeba Civilization informed us about the newly emerged Level 5 Civilization. Perhaps your civilization might join our faction; who knows, maybe we'll become family in the future."
"Of course, this is not mandatory... but the Amoeba Faction is indeed a good choice. Haha, those insects are stingy but fair and just."
"By the way, does your civilization still need the food we provide?"
"Alright, we need ten thousand tons of fresh fruit... Thank you very much." Upon hearing the word food, this diplomat could only respond with grit.
After over a decade of interactions, the people had grown accustomed to each other's rhythms; they generally understood the nature of these plants. The Plant Alliance particularly enjoyed providing food, even after years of study, there was something peculiar about it.
Every time people came here, they would take a spaceship full of food back, free of charge, no reason not to take it.
According to scientists' research, these fruits were indeed nutritious and tasted good. These plants continuously improved themselves, always offering something suitable for humans.
Bidding farewell to the eccentric plants of the Green Leaf Civilization, Zhang Yuan narrated his journey story to his companions. Actually, the superhumans on the spaceship had already understood the story in a short time through brainwave data transmission, yet they accompanied him in listening to it again.
All the traditional humans listened with astonishment and excitement.
Especially when they first arrived at the information exchange station, a multitude of high-level civilizations extended their invitations, hoping for the New Human Civilization to join their faction, including the Noah Faction where the Alef Civilization was located!
These were extremely important pieces of information, they were all so shocked they shifted around in their seats, minds overwhelmed.
"Ah, being at different levels indeed changes one's perspective..."
Finally, after a long silence, the Foreign Minister Old Yang sighed: "Unknown to us, we've already left the crisis behind, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate; once over the gate, the whole world seems much broader; also like a frog jumping out of the well, seeing farther places."
"Since the threat from the Alef Civilization has been eliminated, in the future, do we still need to go to the Milky Way's edge?"
This is a rather critical question.
Initially going to the Milky Way's edge was to escape survival crises, but now it seems unnecessary...
However, people must decide the next destination rather than staying here indefinitely.
Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and said, "It's hard to say, I think on one hand we should develop ourselves, and on the other, I'm inclined to join a cosmic faction."
"The most crucial thing is the former, only when we are strong can we grasp more initiative... Right now it's just the other party sending an invitation. Facing the giant like the Noah Faction, we are still just a tiny insignificant speck."
"Indeed, the gap still exists, we must not be overly arrogant, we need time for development."
"And the next story?"
The topic returned.
During the subsequent recitation, whether being on the native planet, the situation of the Gleize Civilization, or the Galaxy Pan-human Alliance, and even the current status of Earth Civilization, they all left everyone sighing wistfully...
Everything was so mundane, not exceeding expectations in any way.
Many sociologists have previously predicted these civilizations, the accuracy surprisingly quite high.
This also indirectly reflects the world's happenings in a rather helpless way.
"And the universe itself is like this, mundane reality is the true reality. The traps of civilization itself are difficult to escape."
A deputy captain shook his head: "Is the problem with the Hibernators still unresolved... Sigh... It's indeed a troublesome issue."
Old Yang also sighed and said: "We've done our best, how they choose is their own business. I think once the human alliance strengthens, solving this problem shouldn't be difficult. Moreover, Curvature Technology is provided by us, at least we've contributed somewhat, we have no regrets."
"We can't take everything and give it all to support the other side."
"Indeed." Zhang Yuan also agreed with this view, as long as the Pan-human Alliance develops good Curvature Technology, with enough courage, they can indeed solve this problem.
The New Humans here simply want to lend a hand before completely transforming themselves, that alone is enough.
Even if the New Human Civilization encounters some issues during self-transformation in the distant future, as long as a branch still exists, humanity will never lose hope completely.
"Ah, this acts as an insurance... Even though we are already a Level 5 Civilization, we still need this insurance. We hope that the human alliance there can walk a different path from us. Being exactly identical is meaningless."
"Yes, we are giving them Curvature Technology for free with such thoughts... An insurance."
"Now, we should put aside historical burdens, accelerate our forward pace, and march towards the mysteries deep within the universe!"
