Chapter 596: The Combination of Consciousness and Body
The fact that Ning Chen and Song Xiyun were cryonicsed and had awakened had not been officially announced to the outside world, so it was very normal that Hayes did not know about this.

Thinking about the deep meaning implied in the two names "Chen Ning" and "Yun Xi", Hayes became more certain about this.

"Mr. Hayes, please forgive us for not telling you the truth before. The reason why Song Xiyun and I came to Mars is to restart our lives and return to the lives of ordinary people. But some things that happened recently have forced us to return to our previous positions and make some contributions to protecting the safety of the universe."

Hayes did not have any strange feelings towards Ning Chen and Song Xiyun because of their so-called "deception". In fact, it has always been a wish of Hayes to be able to meet such great scientists as them. Hayes would only be very excited about it.

"It's okay, Mr. Ning Chen, Ms. Song Xiyun. You are both the focal points of the Blue Star civilization. It is a very correct decision to come to Mars to live in a low-key manner. If it were me, I would definitely make the same choice as you. But after learning your true identities, I am so happy that I don't know how to express it."

At this moment, Hayes was as happy as a child. The feeling of meeting his childhood "idol" really cannot be described by ordinary words.

Seeing Hayes' happy expression, Ning Chen's face also showed great relief. Although they looked to be of the same generation, if we look at the year of birth, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun should be two generations older than Hayes.

After revealing his identity, Ning Chen also knew that it was time to let Hayes get more involved in these things.

"Hayes, this 'space civilization' has now become the public enemy of the entire universe. With a large amount of antimatter energy, they are capable of destroying the entire universe. For this reason, all of our civilizations must stand up and contribute their own strength to fight against this 'space civilization'."

"Of course, Mr. Ning Chen, this is a responsibility we must bear. On behalf of the Hayes family, I assure you that our family will do our best for this and call on our civilization to fight against this 'space civilization' together. I believe that with the power of our family, we can have a certain degree of influence on the current situation..."

Although most of the people in the Hayes family have left their original civilization and come to the Blue Star civilization to live, many of them still have very close ties with their original civilization.

Moreover, this alien civilization now has a very deep cooperative relationship with the Blue Star civilization. When facing their common predicament, no one will really choose to stand idly by.

In the following time, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun told Hayes about some of their plans and some of the tasks that Hayes and this alien civilization needed to undertake.

"Mr. Hayes, our current plan is to use our research on the evolution of intelligent creatures to enhance the capabilities of each of our intelligent creatures so as to fight against this powerful 'space civilization'. This genetic modification project will not be carried out immediately, but it must be laid in advance. Only in this way can we fight against this opponent who is far more powerful than us..."

Ning Chen's idea sounded a little dangerous, but Hayes did not deny it. Instead, he trusted everything Ning Chen planned.

After all, when the alien civilization was fighting against them, Ning Chen almost saved the entire Blue Star civilization by himself.

Hayes believed that Ning Chen had his own ideas behind everything he did. If there was something that Hayes couldn't figure out, it must be that Hayes himself didn't understand it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ning Chen, I already know about these things, and I will find a way to handle this matter. Later, I will spread the relevant information among our civilization, so that they will understand that this 'space civilization' is an opponent we must fight against. In the face of such a threat, escaping has no meaning. Only resistance can allow our civilization to continue."

For "space civilizations" that have obtained almost unlimited antimatter energy, their target is no longer a certain civilization nearby, but the entire universe except themselves.

Under this premise, even if one migrates one's civilization to a farther location, it can only delay the occurrence of the crisis at most, and cannot play a fundamental role in resolving the crisis.

Even when the technological level of this "space civilization" develops to a sufficient degree, it will be able to reach any location in the universe instantly. With unlimited energy, there is nothing they cannot do.

After coming out of Hayes' house, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun both seemed a little silent. They were thinking about their own things on the way and did not communicate with each other.

It was not until the flying car had already arrived at their home that Song Xiyun took the initiative to say:
"Ning Chen...what happened today was really sudden. I never thought that you would take the initiative to mention these things to Hayes."

Hearing Song Xiyun's words, Ning Chen said helplessly:

"I can't help it. This is not my original intention. I just made this decision this morning. I think we can't hesitate any longer. This 'space civilization' is definitely not something that can be fought by individual strength. Even I can't do it alone. We must try our best to get more help."

"Ning Chen, I understand what you're thinking, and I will always support you. Now that we have studied the evolution of intelligent life to a certain extent, which project should we focus our research on next?"

Although this research has not been completely completed, based on the current progress, we can indeed start planning the next research focus.

After thinking for a while, Ning Chen said:
"Now that we have a stronger brain and body, we should also plan how to reach the vicinity of this 'space civilization'. Using conventional spacecraft to reach the location of this 'space civilization' is obviously an unrealistic plan. Even if we are able to do this, it will take at least hundreds of years, and when we get there, we will not have enough combat power to fight this 'space civilization'."

Song Xiyun nodded expressionlessly upon hearing this. This strategic approach was indeed very inappropriate for the current situation. The alien civilization that Hayes was in had adopted this strategic approach when invading the Blue Star civilization because their civilization level was hundreds of years ahead of the Blue Star, which allowed them to adopt this simple and direct approach.

Because during the hundreds of years that spacecraft have been sailing, it is very difficult for these forces in space to continue to improve their technological level. Even if most of the intelligent creatures among them are still in working condition, the overall capacity growth will still be very limited.

However, compared with the "space civilization", the Blue Star civilization is already in a backward position, so this kind of attack method is even less suitable for it.

Even the alien civilization that was much more powerful than the Blue Star civilization at the time ended in failure when it attacked the Blue Star civilization in this way.

Therefore, Ning Chen could only adopt some other methods, on the premise of being able to quickly reach the vicinity of the "space civilization" without excessively consuming his own strength.

"Song Xiyun, I think we still have to use virtual space to instantly travel to the vicinity of this 'space civilization'. This is our only option at the moment, and it is also the best option."

Apart from this method, the only way to prevent spacecraft from reaching the vicinity of this "space civilization" is to create space folds.

However, in order to create a huge space fold that can span dozens of light years, the energy required is almost infinite. Considering the current energy level of the Blue Star civilization, it is completely insufficient to carry out such an action.

Only the "space civilization" with infinite antimatter energy has such a possibility, so this path was quickly denied by Ning Chen.

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Song Xiyun understood Ning Chen's choice very well, but she still had some questions about the specific implementation method of this plan.

"Ning Chen, this is indeed the best option we have so far. However, according to our current mastery of space travel technology, the most we can do is to let our consciousness go to the vicinity of this 'space civilization' to learn about the relevant information, but we can't make too many changes based on this."

Song Xiyun's question is still very realistic. For example, the last time Ning Chen came near this "space civilization", he used the method of possessing his consciousness on the "space civilization" intelligent robot, but did not control this intelligent robot.

Moreover, this matter will most likely be discovered by the intelligence department of the "space civilization" later. In subsequent actions, Ning Chen will definitely not be able to use the same method again.

"That's right, Song Xiyun, we must make some important changes based on this. The next time I shuttle my consciousness to the vicinity of this 'space civilization', I will no longer just use their intelligent robots to learn about the information about the 'space civilization', but will truly control these intelligent robots. Only when we control a sufficient number of robots can we complete some strategically significant actions..."

After hearing what Ning Chen said, Song Xiyun realized that Ning Chen must have been very well prepared for this, so she did not ask any more questions in case it disturbed Ning Chen's thoughts, but continued to listen to Ning Chen's story carefully.

"Once we have controlled enough robots, we don't have to rush to attack this 'space civilization'. Instead, we need to organize the power of these intelligent robots to quickly create a new gathering point nearby, so as to organize our forces..."

Controlling these robots is not Ning Chen’s ultimate goal at all, but only a means for Ning Chen to quickly organize forces around this "space civilization".

Ning Chen's wonderful ideas made Song Xiyun feel amazed. Of course, Song Xiyun couldn't help but ask Ning Chen about some questions in her mind.

"Ning Chen, this method is achievable with our current technological level, which gives us hope of fighting against 'space civilization'. But Ning Chen, I am still very curious, how can we use these robots to quickly create a more powerful force?"

Song Xiyun believed that Ning Chen could use the robots of the "space civilization" to help him complete some tasks, but this "space civilization" was definitely not a fish that could be slaughtered at will. If nothing unexpected happened, these robots could only be used by Ning Chen for a short period of time and could not serve as a long-term combat force at all.

"These questions are indeed very important, and that's exactly what I want to explain to you next. Since our biggest trump card is to modify our genes, we must also allow our bodies to travel to the vicinity of this 'space civilization'. And this is a very important new part of my plan this time."

"Let our bodies... travel through time as well? Is this really something we can do?"

"Of course, but it's not as simple as the literal meaning, but a result with the same meaning. Song Xiyun, I won't keep you in suspense. I will use these robots under our control to create our clones in the base we set up near the 'space civilization'. As long as our consciousness can be combined with the clones, it will not be any different from our bodies traveling there."

After listening to Ning Chen's explanation, Song Xiyun finally looked as if she had suddenly realized something.

"I see. They actually used clones to accomplish this goal. This way, all the ins and outs can be perfectly connected together."

Because it is the high-dimensional quantum energy bodies that carry human consciousness that use virtual space for instant travel, and these high-dimensional quantum energy bodies can be successfully integrated with human clones, which is equivalent to the human body traveling along with them.
