Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 850: Overestimating Yourself
"Come to think of it, it makes sense that each time technology advances to the next level of civilization. The first technological revolution was marked by the invention of the steam engine. Since then, our Deep Blue Planet civilization has entered the machine age. The level of productivity is simply overwhelming that of the simple farming and animal husbandry era!"

Perhaps it was because the human did not respond immediately this time that they had time to whisper.

"That makes sense. Since civilizations are divided into different levels, a higher-level civilization will definitely crush a lower-level civilization, just like the war between the industrial countries and the tribal countries that took place in the southern continent in history."

"Indeed, this is real history. When the second scientific and technological revolution, marked by the invention and use of electricity, broke out, the countries that led the electrification era also crushed the countries in the steam era.

Now we have completed the third scientific and technological revolution. Before us who have mastered atomic energy, electronic computers, space technology and bioengineering technology, the second-level civilization is vulnerable.

We have completely crushed the second-level civilization in many fields such as information technology, new energy technology, new material technology, biotechnology, space technology and marine technology. "

"Yes, I didn't expect that we have already developed to the third-level civilization. It seems that the great Star Alliance must have seen our development achievements and recognized us as a 'civilization', the Deep Blue Star Civilization. In the future, when we encounter other alien civilizations, we can call ourselves the Deep Blue Star Civilization!"

……

At the ground command center, a group of Deep Blue Star people were chatting with each other, immersed in the pride of being a third-level civilization.

It’s a pity that humans didn’t install surveillance here, nor did they hack into their systems to eavesdrop on their conversations, otherwise they would definitely give a thumbs up to their imagination abilities.

Soon, the Deep Blue people stopped discussing, because in their eyes, the Great Star Alliance had answered: "Originally, there was no distinction between civilization levels in the universe. It was only because many ancient civilizations discovered that when a civilization breaks through and masters a certain theory or technology, it will become stronger than before, and can even easily crush civilizations that have not yet mastered this theory or technology.

Therefore, they classified civilizations that had mastered those theories and technologies into different levels. Level one, level two, and level three civilizations were low-level civilizations, also called aerospace-level civilizations. Above that were level four, level five, and level six civilizations, which were interstellar-level civilizations. Above that were illusory cosmic-level civilizations!"

As soon as this news spread, the Deep Blue Star people who had just been whispering became even more excited.

Everyone was shouting in their hearts: Sure enough, sure enough! We have indeed developed to the third level of civilization. After all, only by achieving the third technological revolution can we have the ability to land on near-Earth planets! The term "astronaut-level civilization" is very appropriate. In this way, as long as we complete the fourth technological revolution, we can truly set foot on the interstellar...

An interstellar civilization... should be a civilization that has the ability to travel between stars. It seems that we Deep Blue Star people are not bad either!

That must be the case. If we can master superluminal travel, we will probably become an interstellar civilization.

And now, the Star Alliance is so generous as to tell us the scientific theory of entering interstellar civilization... It is so precious!
Thinking of this, some Deep Blue Star people couldn't help but remember that the Star Alliance is a multi-civilization alliance. They thought to themselves: Doesn't that mean that the Star Alliance ignored us before, most likely because we don't have the ability to travel faster than the speed of light? If we had the ability to travel faster than the speed of light, maybe the Star Alliance would invite us to join... What a pity, the sea of ​​stars, I don't know if the Star Alliance will take us if we apply... Oh, the sea of ​​stars, it's really fascinating, I wonder what the scenery is like in the depths of the universe, I don't know if I will have the chance to see it in this lifetime...

Except for some who imagined regrets about the future, in the ground command center, the Deep Blue Star people were wagging their tails excitedly. They all felt that the information obtained from this inquiry was too critical and too important. After all, knowing one's own level in the universe is equivalent to recognizing one's own position!

However, the Deep Blue people, who were in the midst of a collective excitement, were completely thrown into disarray by the next piece of information that appeared on the big screen.

The message said: "In our universe or our Milky Way, there are almost no cosmic civilizations. At least we have not seen them. They may have gone to more distant places, or they may just be too disdainful to show up in front of us. As for your level of civilization, there is no doubt that it is a primitive civilization."

What?
What? What?!

Ah!
Seeing the message from the Star Alliance, the Deep Blue Star people were stunned.

"Please, please, what does primitive civilization mean?" Although he had a hunch in his heart, as the director of the command center, the Deep Blue alien still fulfilled his duty to ask for everyone.

"Primitive civilization is another name for level zero civilization. Civilizations like yours that are temporarily unable to leave their own star belong to this category. Once you achieve controlled nuclear fusion, you will be considered a level one civilization."

Deep Blue Stars in the Ground Command Center:

Ah this, ah this this

Σ(°ロ°)
We are not even a first-class civilization?!
The Deep Blue Star people who just thought they had reached the third level of civilization as mentioned by the Star Alliance are now a little overwhelmed, especially the group of self-satisfied Deep Blue Star people.

The gap between their expectations and reality is too big, which makes them feel very uncomfortable.

Although the facts will not change, there is a sense of gap... I didn't expect that the Deep Blue Star civilization that I am so proud of in my heart is actually the lowest level of cosmic civilization.

While feeling heartbroken, the Deep Blue people also noticed the controlled nuclear fusion mentioned in the Star Alliance information.

Thinking of this, some physicists had no time to feel sad. They directly asked their staff to send a message to the Star Alliance: What is the symbol of a second-level civilization? What about a third-level civilization? What about a fourth, fifth, or sixth-level civilization?

Humans did not keep the secret and directly told the Deep Blue Star civilization everything they knew about the civilization level classifications.

Now, the Deep Blue people have completely realized their own level! They also understand how far they are from warp speed travel technology.

Obviously, the Deep Blue Star civilization is much luckier than humans, and it knew this information when it was still in the zero-level civilization stage.

And that’s not all, because humans will then give them some advice.

Of course, it is about the Galactic Center Alliance broadcast, as well as the precautions for setting foot in the interstellar space in the future.

First, do not reveal the location of your home planet to any civilization. Second, do not respond to any broadcasts from the Galactic Axis Alliance. Third, do not sell scientists from your own civilization in any interstellar trading market. Fourth, do not believe the words of other civilizations at will. Fifth, the home planet that has evolved for billions of years is one of the treasures of the universe.

Humans once again passed on the words they had left for the dog-headed people to this civilization that had not yet set foot on the starry sky.
