Chapter 3 Life in the Starry Sky Chapter 56: Fighting Side by Side
"For a cosmic civilization to become powerful, there are three main paths: one is technology, two is economy, and three is evolution."
Secretary General Angus said.
"The growth of science and technology is very slow," said Secretary General Angus. "It requires a large number of scientific and technological talents, and it must be accumulated from generation to generation before it can transform."
"The economy is strong enough to buy strong enough weapons to protect us." Secretary General Angus said, "Don't think that the citizens of the universe are protected by the laws of the Universal Human Alliance and no one dares to kill them."
"The universe is vast. If you wipe out a civilization in a remote starry sky, as long as you don't leave any evidence, you won't even be able to find the murderer."
"Of course, it is very difficult to wipe out a civilization without the Universal Human Alliance discovering the truth . Once discovered, the cost will be huge. So the possibility of it happening is extremely low. But it is still very common for individual citizens of the universe to be killed."
Secretary General Angus said, "So we need a strong enough economy to buy strong enough weapons to protect our Blue Star humans. But the economic growth of a civilization also takes time to accumulate slowly, so we can't rush it."
For personal investment, you may gamble and try to get high returns.
But the economy of a cosmic civilization is huge, involving assets from all aspects. Stability comes first, so the growth rate is naturally slow.
"The third path is evolution," said Secretary General Angus. "This is the most common path for many weak civilizations in the vast universe to rise, because this path is the most likely to produce miracles."
"Individual evolution is the pursuit of countless civilized humans," said Secretary General Angus. "With evolution, individuals will become stronger, their brains will become more developed, their wisdom will become higher, and their lifespans will become longer. Stronger life forms will have higher status in the Universal Human Alliance."
Director Xia Guozhou smiled and said, "I believe you can feel it now. Your brain is thinking much faster than before you practiced the evolution method! And you are still in the category of planetary life. If you become star life, your brain will be more developed and you will learn faster! If you reach the ninth level, you will surpass the category of star life and become a higher level of life! Your learning ability will be stronger, and your long life will accumulate endless wisdom. Your strength can easily destroy the planet, and each of you will be a treasure of the Universal Human Alliance."
"In the universe, talents are also valued. What is talent? Strength and wisdom are both selection criteria." The representative of the Roman Empire said, "The rarer the talent, the more important they will be. If you are valued and have a high status, you will naturally help your hometown civilization."
"The so-called ten methods of evolution were not discovered on Firefly Star, but were obtained after contacting the Universal Human Alliance. These are the ten most basic methods of evolution of the Universal Human Alliance." Secretary-General Angus said.
"After integrating into the Universal Human Alliance, all the countries of our Blue Star civilization quickly united together and began to discuss countermeasures."
Secretary General Angus said, "The practice of evolution must be coordinated with the virtual world. Otherwise, the mortality rate is too high. And seven billion 'virtual helmets' and 'virtual world hosts' that can support tens of billions of people are worth more than a living planet!"
"In fact, many humans in the primary civilizations of the universe..." Tiano Xilei, who was sitting there, suddenly said, "have never entered the virtual world."
"Um?"
Xu Jingming and the others looked at Tiyanno Sire in surprise.
"Let me introduce you. This is the distinguished envoy from the Universal Human Alliance." Secretary General Angus stood up, and representatives from the other five major member states also stood up.
"An envoy from the Universal Human Alliance?" Xu Jingming was a little confused, and Liu Hai and the others were also a little confused.
The one competing with them is an alien?
"Everyone."
Tiyano stood up and smiled. His skin color began to change, turning gray. His hair and eyebrows also turned silver-gray. His pupils also changed color. His aura also returned to the aura of star life, which was much stronger . Tiyano looked at Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, Miyakawa Mingxin and others who were in shock. "Let me introduce myself. My full name is Tiyano Chimeng Xilei. Not long after I joined the Universal Human Alliance, I received a mission to protect the entire Blue Star civilization. There is still one year left."
Everyone present has stood up.
"Your Excellency Tijanos." Everyone expressed their respect.
"Everyone, sit down." Tiyanno was the first to sit down, and then everyone else sat down.
Xu Jingming looked at Ti Yanuo with mixed feelings.
Is Tijano, who has been competing with me for so long, an alien? Is he a messenger from the Universal Human Alliance?
Ti Yanuo glanced at Xu Jingming, half smiling, and then continued: "The star system where the Blue Star civilization is located has been identified and confirmed to have very valuable mineral deposits. By selling a lot of mineral deposits, they were able to finally install the 'virtual world host' on Blue Star, allowing everyone in the entire civilization to enter the virtual world. In this regard alone, they have surpassed most of the primary civilizations in the universe."
"Most of the primary civilizations in the universe still learn slowly in reality through martial arts schools and other methods. They are more careful and slow. Unlike you, everyone tries recklessly in the virtual world and is not afraid of failure." Tiyanno smiled and said, "Your Blue Star civilization has indeed invested a lot in evolution."
"Thirty-two years of protection sounds very long," Secretary General Angus continued, "but first we need to contact the Universal Human Alliance, collect intelligence, integrate and identify the mineral deposits, integrate into the virtual world network, establish the Blue Star Alliance, build a security protection system for the entire civilization, determine the buyer of the mineral deposits, purchase the virtual world host...all aspects require time. It takes a long time to send the purchased items from distant galaxies."
“It’s a rare achievement that everyone can enter the virtual world before the protection period,” said Secretary-General Angus.
"In fact, in the past thirty years," Director Zhou said, "we have done a lot to ensure that people around the world have high welfare, including Africa, which was once backward in education. In the past thirty years, the average life expectancy in Africa has increased rapidly, comparable to that of other continents, and the level of education has also greatly improved."
"Increased life expectancy and improved education levels also serve evolution," said Director Zhou.
Secretary General Angus continued, "In this World Martial Arts Competition, Yesharova and Madeline Logan have both practiced the Evolution Method for more than ten years. They are participating to hone you and put more pressure on you. Envoy Tiano is even more willing to condescend to be in the virtual world from the beginning, which is also a strong enough stimulus for the geniuses of our Blue Star civilization. For example, Xu Jingming's breakthrough in the finals is also thanks to Envoy Tiano."
"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded and looked at Ti Yanuo. "If it weren't for the secret technique of the envoy, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to figure out the thirty-six consecutive attacks of light transformation. Without strong enough pressure, I wouldn't be able to figure out the super-limit-level moves."
Tijano nodded slightly after hearing this.
But I was muttering in my heart.
oppression?
I put a lot of pressure on you, and you broke through?
You've put a lot of pressure on me and defeated me, so how come I've only made a little progress?
"You should have noticed that in the past 30 years, welfare has been getting better and better, and technology has been getting more and more advanced," said Secretary General Angus. "In fact, with our current technology, many jobs do not require human participation."
"No wonder robots are so advanced and intelligent. It turns out they are exposed to technology from the universe." Xu Jingming sighed secretly.
"In the future...there will be fewer and fewer jobs that require humans."
Secretary General Angus said, “We will reduce the welfare of ordinary people to ensure their most basic survival needs. If high welfare is needed, we must achieve something in technology, evolution, or economy.”
"Because the safety period is only one year, we must encourage all of humanity to work harder in the future." Secretary General Angus said solemnly, "If you want to have a good life and a high status, you must contribute to civilization."
The other five representatives nodded in agreement.
"Um."
Tijano nodded. "You must hurry up. Once the protection period is over, powerful civilizations will definitely come to suck your blood! Without the supervision and protection of the Universal Human Alliance, and only following basic laws and regulations, your foreign trade will definitely suffer various losses, and even the entire civilization will eventually be unable to maintain. It is common to choose to join other civilizations."
"The first year of the virtual world opening is a time of exploration," said Secretary General Angus. "After that, we have to strengthen the 'social contribution' program. All of humanity must work together so that our Blue Star civilization can better stand out in the universe. You nine are geniuses selected from billions of people, and we hope that you can make more contributions to the entire civilization of your homeland."
"Um."
Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, Tiger Fussen, Haru Singh, Tu Ling, Riven Gullit, Miyagawa Mingxin, Akinlov and Alan Emelianenko all felt the heavy pressure on them.
The nine of them... are the nine most talented people in the entire civilization!
When the sky falls, the tall people will hold it up. They are the nine tallest people!
"The first step is to become space life and space citizens as soon as possible," said Secretary General Angus. "Only by becoming space citizens can you be protected by the laws of the Space Human Alliance and enter the virtual world network with your own identity."
Xu Jingming and the other nine people nodded.
"The prize money of this competition will also be distributed to each of you." Secretary General Angus said, "This time the prize money is cosmic currency. In the future, when you deal with other cosmic civilizations, Blue Star coins will be useless. You must use cosmic currency! These cosmic currencies are very precious. They are all accumulated by us from selling mines on Blue Star. You must cherish them."
"Yes." All nine of them felt the burden on their shoulders.
“Keep working hard. It’s not just you. There are many people around the world who are also fighting for the civilization of their hometowns.” Secretary-General Angus said, “We are all fighting side by side.”
…
The meeting ended quickly and the competition prize money was distributed to everyone.
"Please stay, Your Excellency." Everyone else had left, but Secretary-General Angus called out to Tiano.
"Hmm?" Tijano looked at him.
"Your Excellency, you know that our Blue Star civilization is still too narrow-minded." Secretary General Angus said, "Nowadays, it is very rare to have a super-limit genius 'Xu Jingming'. We are also discussing internally how to train and cultivate him. But we are worried that because of our short-sightedness and narrow vision, we will harm him instead. So I hope that Your Excellency can give us some advice."
"Can I give you some pointers?" Tiyano raised his eyebrows and kindly helped to think about it. "Let me think about it first. I have come into contact with too few super-limit geniuses. I have come into contact with more ninth-level geniuses."
