章 236: Chapter 236: The I-Civilization Will Self-Destruct
"Can the I-Civilization suppress its own desire for the unknown?"
"I don't think it can, because even if it happened to me, I wouldn't be able to control myself."
"The Outer God allows life to glimpse a corner of the universe's truth, and this corner is too alluring for a Level 2 civilization. It's like a voluptuous, hot woman that makes you lust after her."
Yan Xia's body tensed and then relaxed, relaxed and then tensed again.
He was fighting against his own consciousness, wanting to understand what the I-Civilization had found.
He was talking about this, but in fact, he couldn't imagine what the I-Civilization had gained or seen.
Itchy!
It's like when your parents tell you they'll buy you a toy for your birthday, and your birthday is tomorrow. You're so excited that you can't focus on anything else. You imagine the toy to be anything, with countless possibilities.
But in the end, reason prevails.
"Let's send the second fleet. We need to test what the I-Civilization is up to."
Establishing all of this is not an easy task.
The premise of what Yan Xia wanted to accomplish was actually a fleeting thought from the initial meeting: the I-Civilization's life forms are sufficiently low-level.
By low-level, it doesn't refer to their intelligence but rather their life forms.
As humans in the 21st century gradually strive for perfection, what would a Level 2 civilization, with the ability to change its conditions, do when it sees something perfect?
"Plastic surgery" itself.
The second fleet set off soon after, and unlike the first time, this fleet included some ordinary battleships and a few cloned life forms.
As expected, the outcome was unsurprising.
Yan Xia didn't even think about waiting for the outcome. Shortly after the second fleet's departure, he sent out the third fleet, which was entirely machine-controlled.
However, the message received from the third fleet was that the machines had malfunctioned in the face of the unknown.
The machines themselves were not reading the same book as life.
The Outer God is like a cup, accepting everything in the universe. This "everything" is just that—everything—without any additional interpretation.
Even machines are not immune to its influence.
The Outer God created by Yan Xia was not equipped to target machines, so if the I-Civilization can now target machines, it means they have strayed further from the path of the Outer God.
"Then let me make a prediction here."
"The I-Civilization will self-destruct."
"After this, we won't have to worry about the I-Civilization. We won't look, we won't understand, and we'll only act if they attack us."
Yan Xia ordered all fleets to cease their activities and shifted his focus to developing the star systems themselves.
Such is war; sometimes, prolonged frontal battles can be fruitless, but a suitable plan can completely change the war's dynamics.
Yan Xia believed that the Genesis Project had achieved its intended purpose.
However, Yan Xia wouldn't let his guard down.
He formulated the Deep Space Development Plan.
The core of this plan was to establish closer connections between star systems within a star domain, and the key to this was the tachyon communication technology.
Yan Xia planned to construct 100 tachyon communication devices in the 10 most central star systems of the Canopus Star Domain.
This would indeed consume a lot of energy, but it would enable these 10 star systems to communicate seamlessly, exchanging more information.
For such advanced technology, the amount of information transmitted by these tachyon communication devices was still relatively small, unable to transmit even the data equivalent to a single photo. Each communication might only involve a few hundred bytes of data.
Even voice communication required computers to break hundreds of encryption codes for back-and-forth transmission, indicating that tachyon communication couldn't transmit audio in real-time.
Far from sufficient.
Yan Xia's ultimate goal was to enhance tachyon communication to the level of video chatting while reducing its current energy consumption by tenfold or more.
At that point, genuine star system communication would become feasible, and star systems would be thoroughly interconnected as a whole.
For now, Yan Xia could only focus on constructing more star cities in deep space, using these non-star-dependent star cities as connections between star systems.
Yan Xia named this plan the Star City Plan.
The goal was to establish a city in space, which might still be relatively spacious, but the journey from 0 to 1 could lead to 1 to 10, and everything was possible.
The core of the Star City Plan was not convenience but concentration.
Concentration could protect the safety of the Federation's life forms, reduce the wealth gap between citizens, and facilitate the management of a star domain.
If, as before, citizens were evenly distributed among star systems, then a single X-God could manage what originally required ten X-Gods, saving resources.
What would happen to the other star systems then?
Yan Xia's idea was to turn the remaining star systems into energy supply points, meaning these star systems would only have energy collection devices, and no citizens would live there.
To ensure the safety of external energy star systems, Yan Xia intended to make these star systems federal military bases.
In simple terms, it was about making functional divisions clearer.
To use a company analogy, it's like assigning different tasks to different teams instead of having each team handle planning, art, front-end, back-end, and operations.
With this concentration, even if a star system was lost, it wouldn't be as devastating, and there wouldn't be citizen deaths in the hundreds of billions.
However, there were also many drawbacks, and the reason lay in the vastness of the universe. Too much concentration meant that the development of more distant star domains would be hindered, and the distance would shrink.
The plan made sense, but there were many possible outcomes, so Yan Xia decided to implement it in the Canopus Star Domain.
And just like that, another 1000 years passed, during which the I-Civilization showed no signs of activity, following Yan Xia's orders. The Federation did not send any ships or battleships to investigate.
During this time, while nothing major happened within the Federation, the conflict between the Olive Branch Civilization's star cities finally escalated, leading to the largest civil war in their history.
This was a more critical matter for the Federation than the I-Civilization.
Chu's success or failure would determine the Federation's destruction or greatness.
If Chu succeeded, the Federation would leverage this to become the absolute hegemon in this star domain, not just one of many, as the Olive Branch Civilization would become a part of the Federation.
