Chapter 98 Internal Conflict, Making Contact

"The fundamental reason why the Olive Branch Civilization promotes the pseudo-shared consciousness cluster should be to achieve internal unity."

"The Civilization Federation is a civilization cluster created by you, Yan Xia. The only thing you want is to explore the universe through this cluster, and then use the theory of imagination resources to explore technology."

"So you don't care about internal conflicts in essence, and you have such a wise and perfect artificial intelligence system as Ella's main body to assist in the management of high technology and knowledge, let alone worry about internal resistance."

"But most civilizations have no unified opinions, just like humans. If the earth was not destroyed and only Yan Xia was left, you should be able to imagine what humans would become when they enter the interstellar era, right?"

Human civilization is divided into multiple countries on Earth. Many people imagine that humans should become a whole in the interstellar era, and the concept of the country will disappear.

But in fact, in Yan Xia's view, it should be the opposite.

After humans enter the interstellar era, they will definitely not be able to observe external threats. Without external pressure, it is impossible for humans to become a whole. Instead, over time, friction will gradually arise in the control of resources in the solar system for the competition for resources.

Human civilization is a civilization where even their own relatives sometimes guess about each other. In such a civilization, if you want to achieve joint development, except for the arrival of aliens, you can only daydream.

Struggle will become the eternal theme of mankind.

"In other words, the pseudo-shared consciousness cluster is created to eliminate internal conflicts?"

Yan Xia thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, but this was just an estimate, not the real answer.

They can only estimate now because they can't get the history of the Olive Branch civilization from anywhere.

"Then we should implement the original plan even more."

What is the reason for Yan Xia to come here?

What he really wants is to create conflicts within the Olive Branch civilization, and knowing that the Olive Branch civilization may have had serious internal conflicts, which has transformed it into today's pseudo-shared consciousness cluster society, then he needs to drill a hole in this hard wall.

It must be very difficult to drill out of this hole, but this hole can go straight to the soft heart of civilization.

"Yeah!"

Ella stared at Yan Xia and nodded quietly.

They have a very long time. The Civilization Federation now needs to move towards a Level 2.2 civilization. With the technology of simulating the universe, this time should not be too long.

Even so, they are developing, and the Olive Branch Civilization must also be developing. A 1% breakthrough in the Olive Branch Civilization is enough to allow the Civilization Federation to enter level 2.2. In fact, the gap between the two sides has not narrowed, and it may even gradually widen.

…

Yan Xia later applied to meet with Zhuo and proposed part of the Holy Grail Plan.

Build a photon communication machine inside the galaxy.

Unlike last time, Zhuo agreed without hesitation.

The Olive Branch Civilization does not control the tachyon technology, so its communication ability is still constrained within the speed of light. Yan Xia took the initiative to build a tachyon communication machine here, which means that it actually has some control over this machine, which is convenient for it to steal technology in the future.

The civilizations that can develop to this level in the universe are not fools, and everyone knows where each other's interests are.

But Yan Xia did not say it, and Zhuo did not say it either. Everything was carried out in a conventional manner.

Yan Xia had people build a tachyon communication machine in 82 years. As soon as it was completed, he was the first to send a message to the Civilization Federation.

"1"

This is a number, and it is also a signal that has been discussed long ago, representing many things.

It also confirms that the original plan No. 1 can be implemented, so that Ella's body can make preparations, and the plan for the silk civilization can be put on the agenda.

The other fleet will not reach the Orion Nebula. After all, it is too far away, and it will take 5 times longer to reach the Olive Branch Civilization.

Their main purpose is to leave the Civilization Federation 100 light years away, and then release weapons at the Orion Nebula in a certain star system there, so as to complete the teasing of the Silk Civilization and make the Olive Branch Civilization believe that the Holy Grail Plan really exists.

After the weapon is launched, Yan Xia will invite Xu to participate as his assistant.

The Civilization Federation itself is a cluster of civilizations. If the top civilization in the Milky Way really dominates the Milky Way, then they can unite to become the winner and follow that civilization to at least avoid being destroyed.

This is a trick.

But as long as it is performed realistically, the trick can become a reality, at least the reality that the audience thinks.

Just like-a magic show!

104 days later, Yan Xia received a reply. Ella told him about the current status of the Civilization Federation. Everything was developing steadily. Now their star field was about three times the size when Yan Xia left.

Sirius has reached the middle stage of development. The simulated universe plan was a perfect success, and it achieved rapid innovation and development of many technologies.

As a 2.1 civilization, they can already be called the overlord of that star field, so there is only one security issue, that is, the Olive Branch civilization.

After Yan Xia read the message, he noticed the time.

Logically speaking, the transmission time of tachyon communication at a distance of 280 light years should be 106 days for a round trip, but now it is two days faster.

This means that the distance between his galaxy and Tiancang V has shortened by about 5.2 light years, leaving only 274.8 light years. This should also be the result of the cessation of the revolution of the star system they are in.

The distance between the Civilization Federation and the Olive Branch Civilization is getting closer.

This may be intentional by the Olive Branch Civilization.

He cannot calculate how fast the speed is getting closer, but it must be faster than the revolution speed of ordinary stars.

"Yan Xia!"

Ella suddenly called out behind him.

Yan Xia trembled all over and was so scared that he almost performed a set of lightning five whips in a stress reaction.

"Ella, don't suddenly appear in such an open place next time."

Ella nodded.

"No problem."

Yan Xia asked: "What's the matter?"

"The anomaly has been found. The weakness of the pseudo-shared consciousness cluster is that it still retains individual consciousness, which means that there will be many different voices in the huge consciousness cluster."

Perhaps most of the Olive Branch civilization life forms accept becoming part of the shared consciousness cluster, but among the 86.29 trillion life forms in the Star City that the Olive Branch civilization has counted, there must be individuals who are disgusted with becoming part of the shared consciousness cluster.

These individuals are the targets that Yan Xia hopes to use.

"How many have you found?"

"78 in total!"

"Cultivate them slowly and secretly. The life forms of the Olive Branch civilization do not have the concept of lifespan, so we have a lot of time for each other. What we have to do is to be absolutely secretive and not be discovered."

The first phase of the plan has begun!
