Chapter 208: Level 3 Civilization

"It's time to settle down and develop for fifty years, one hundred years, or even two hundred years. The foundation is too unstable... It would be great if I could find a new home."

Thinking of this, Zhang Ran closed his eyes again and slept in a daze. He vaguely had a very strange dream.

I dreamed that the population of humans expanded to 10 billion. Through thousands of years and ten thousand years of hard work, everyone was cheering loudly for the completion of the construction of planetary computers.

A population of 10 billion connects their brains with planetary computers. From then on, there will be no need to survive in the universe through the form of a physical body.

Zhang Ran himself also made a passionate speech: "Next I announce...humanity has officially become a level five civilization! Let us hold hands, shoulder to shoulder, and enter the singularity era together, and sprint towards a higher level of civilization!"

At this moment, a nice voice came from my ears: "Your Highness, stop sleeping, stop sleeping! It's 10 o'clock in the morning! Get up!"

Zhang Ran suddenly woke up. The scene of the sunny beach actually made him sleep for a long time, and he slept from 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock...

The stiff neck condition at the beginning also improved a lot under the robot massage.

He quickly took off his helmet and found Sakurai staring at him with a smile, looking malicious: "I brought you breakfast, let's eat it while it's hot."

Zhang Ran took two shabby wheat, an egg, and a cup of soy milk, and said sleepily: "Can't I sleep in? I've been busy all day yesterday. I just dreamed and was woken up when I reached the critical point."

"What's the key point?" A bright smile appeared on her face, as if she was looking forward to it.

"Of course it's about becoming a more advanced civilization... what else can there be?" Zhang Ran took a sip of soy milk, and the taste was indeed quite rich.

Sakurai cleared his throat and said, "The investigation report of the gravitational wave telescope has come out... The situation does not seem to be ideal. You must look at the information."

While eating shabby, Zhang Ran read the information written by the observatory, and his pupils dilated slightly.

The space turbulence blows down the Oriental Rock Rod to a very empty corner, which leads to extremely rare three-dimensional fragments around it!

In the 1 light-year domain, there are only 6 three-dimensional space-times and spaces!

The latest three-dimensional space-time can be reached in one month, but the remaining five will take 12 years, 166 years, 478 years, 496 years, and 547 years of navigation!

This terrifying fact made Zhang Ran's heart beat wildly. The resources on hand are quite abundant now, but it is hard to say in the future.

Why did you need to sail for so long?

Most of the three-dimensional spaces are empty, and in the next few hundred years, there is probably no way to replenish any substance!

This fact is a bit unacceptable. He swallowed the breakfast whole, calmed down, and called Professor Huo from the observatory again.

"Professor Huo, I just read the report you wrote. The three-dimensional space in this space is so rare, so your plan is... to take hundreds of years to sail? Can our spacecraft last for so long? Didn't the curvature engine break a lot?"

Zhang Ran asked several questions in a row.

Huo Dong also replied with a serious expression: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, this is also a fact."

"We don't understand why there are few three-dimensional fragments in this area. We only have one chance, that is, the three-dimensional space and time that is one month away. The rest is too far. Even if you spend hundreds of years sailing, you might just find the fourth type of universe, with nothing inside."

"But there is another way to wait for the space turbulence to blow us away again."

"We have a four-dimensional protective cover. No matter what kind of universe it is, the Oriental Stone can rest in it for a while and repair all the curvature engines first. Then, wait for the next space turbulence. Maybe we will be blown down in the place with more material richness. So we won't be trapped inside."

"But...is there only this way? If we are blown down to a more remote area next time, won't it..."

Zhang Ran paused for a moment when he said this, and had various mathematical problems in his mind.

The radius of the Oriental Stone is 6.5 kilometers. If you want to repair the curvature engine, you have to use at least a four-dimensional protective cover with a range of 8 kilometers. It will consume 51.2 billion tons of material a year. This number is barely enough to withstand it. Not long ago, trillion tons of ice was dug.

The four-dimensional protective cover is free of charge, and any matter can be converted into energy.

But the material is still limited. God knows how long this situation will last. A four-dimensional protective cover will consume 51.2 billion tons in a year, and 500 billion tons in 10 years. It will be unbearable after a long time!

"Unless we can reach the level of level five civilization and develop a super-light speed curvature engine, we can only wait for the next time and space turbulence, blowing us far away." Huo Dong explained seriously, "and our curvature engine must be repaired, otherwise we will not be able to withstand the next time and space turbulence."

Since there was no choice, Zhang Ran could only sigh: "Then go to the nearest three-dimensional time and space... Is it a month's journey? I hope we can win the lottery once and encounter some good luck."

"We are no longer lacking adventures, what we lack is stable development time."

...

In the next month, the Oriental Panshi hurriedly rushed to the high-dimensional space, and people were looking forward to whether the only opportunity to draw prizes could bring surprises...

However, there is good news inside Kunlun Mountain. The fully automatic universal factory system that humans are thinking about has finally completed the first phase of construction.

This is a great achievement!

In response to some issues within the current society, the current operating conditions of the Oriental Panshi, the development of human civilization, and the interstellar war that once occurred, we quickly publicly advertised all humans in Kunlun Mountain through a TV program.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, congratulations, we humans, on this day, have reached the level of level three civilization. Our intelligent manufacturing level has fully met the standards."

"The hardships in the middle are hard to describe in words. Our heroes sacrifice their lives and their blood, and our scientific researchers work hard day and night. All progress cannot be separated from the efforts of everyone."

"As a medium civilization, we should not be complacent, nor should we belittle ourselves. Oh, by the way, we have also welcomed a partner for equal communication, Green Star Civilization. I believe many people have come into contact with this civilization."

This speech lasted for more than two hours, involving cosmic civilization and all aspects of the interior of Kunlun Mountain.

It has been eight years since the earth fell into high-dimensional space-time calculations.

Every day and every hour of these eight years, mankind has spent progress and development, which can be said to be an unprecedented era of technological explosion!

Especially last week, the first phase of the universal factory was completed, which means that humans have truly entered the third phase of cosmic civilization: the era of intelligence.

In the new government work report, it is pointed out that an intelligent lifestyle will gradually be popularized from the military and laboratories to the public, allowing everyone to experience the living standards of the third-level civilization.

Zhang Ran gave a passionate speech on the podium: "...This is an unprecedented new era, and it can be described vividly with an adjective: the robot servant society, that is, the robot servants can complete more than 99% of physical work. They are always tolerant, they work hard and have extremely low chances of making mistakes. No matter whether it is dirty work, the robot servants can complete it."

"As long as humans are responsible for the maintenance of robot systems, updating of systems, and developing scientific undertakings, robots will also age and damage. They will not innovate and cannot replace us with technology."

When Zhang Ran said this, he suddenly paused and showed a serious expression on his face: "But ask yourself, are we really ready to welcome a new era of high productivity development?"

"The Sibadi civilization, the civilization we know, has actually entered the era of real great wealth, but has not chosen to do so. Because they found that once they do this, society will collapse immediately."

"The intelligent era also requires labor, that is, maintaining these robots. If no one does it, the robots will still break down slowly."

"Only when reaching the fifth stage of civilization can we design truly strong artificial intelligence and allow robots to maintain themselves. Level 3 civilization cannot do this."

"But maintaining robots is also a dirty job. If most people don't work, they can survive well. Why do a small number of people choose to work as a maintenance robot?"

"Escape from difficulties is the choice of human nature and the choice of genes. But if no one is willing to maintain a robot, then who is willing to defend his country? How many people are willing to climb the peak of the world and explore the unknowns of the universe?"

"The development of society is always linked with one link, and there will be no real change because of my speech. Please believe in this in your heart that it is difficult to change human nature. My speech actually will not change anything, but let everyone know the hardships ahead."

All the audience also seemed a little silent.

People have been thinking about this question for a long time, but they cannot get a real answer.

Zhang Ran raised his head and continued: "If the individual's spiritual pursuit does not meet higher-level needs, the entire civilization will not be able to enter the era of truly great prosperity."

"But without entering the era of truly great wealth, our thinking will be difficult to reverse. It is like the thinking of the rich and the thinking of the poor. If you have not experienced a wealthy life, you should not require the thinking of the rich."

"This has become a contradiction..."
