Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 974 Sense of Crisis

Since it was a mature technology of the Daya civilization, humans took it, understood it, absorbed it, and used it directly, so it didn't take much time.

So not long after the Lyra led the fleet of 3,000 consciousness-linked spacecraft back to reunite, human civilization began to extract resources from the gaseous planets in the star system, and at the same time built a new interstellar factory with a star-class spacecraft as its core, namely the element synthesis factory.

Specially used to process hydrogen, helium and other elements extracted from gas planets.

At the same time, the energy-mass conversion project was also put on the agenda soon, because element synthesis technology has become the last piece of the technological puzzle for humans to master energy-mass conversion.

After obtaining this technology, human civilization's energy-matter conversion experiments began immediately.

The general process is to first manufacture an ultra-large high-power matter disintegration ray generator, then irradiate the quark material with matter disintegration rays to cause the quark material to disintegrate into the most basic hydrogen element. The next step is element synthesis, synthesizing the hydrogen element into various elements with large atomic mass numbers as required, and finally separating the matter.

After completing the entire process, humans can input energy and output matter.

Energy-matter conversion has been mastered by humans.

From this moment on, as long as humans are given a star, they will have all the elements they need. In other words, as long as there is energy, humans can survive.

Even if humans with this technology are trapped in the small universe of the pioneers, they can survive forever, unless they destroy themselves.

In addition, humans also used this time to digest the scientific and technological information obtained from the Dayan civilization and battlefield wreckage, and based on this scientific and technological information, began to conduct research on force field bombs.

On the other hand, when the Daya civilization learned that humans had mastered the energy-matter conversion technology before them, they came over. Their intention was obvious: they wanted humans to share the quark-matter material technology.

Logically speaking, humans should not be stingy, but some human leaders are not willing to do so.

Many things are like this. We are very happy when we get technology shared by others, but we are not so willing to share our own achievements.

To this end, the Dayan civilization also sent a large amount of information to humans, mainly stating the interests involved.

In fact, everyone also understood that what the Daya civilization said was correct. Although the two civilizations had some grievances, they generally got along well and could be considered to have shared weal and woe.

And for now, the two civilizations will inevitably have to stay in this star field for a long time because both sides have their own shipbuilding plans.

With the normal size of a level five civilization, the new fleet would have to have at least 10 million ships.

This will be a very long process, and the resources of one star system will certainly not be able to meet the resource needs of two civilizations, even with the technology to synthesize elements.

However, the energy-mass conversion technology mastered by humans can further reduce the scope of resource collection. A low resource collection range means a low risk of being discovered by other civilizations. This is currently beneficial to both humans and the Dayan civilization. After all, both civilizations are now very weak.

And there is another point. The Daya civilization told humans that there is not much time left for the development of level 5 civilization in this galaxy. The most important thing now, in addition to restoring the fleet, is to upgrade their own civilization level to level 6 as quickly as possible, because the window period for level 6 civilization to lick its wounds is about to pass.

Of course, the level VI civilization at that time would definitely not wander around the galaxy as blatantly as before. After all, if they were discovered by the Reapers, they would be greeted by electronic warships.

Everyone will definitely hide themselves, but activities will definitely be more frequent than they are now. If one is unlucky and encounters an evil level six civilization, then one is doomed.

Therefore, sharing technology with each other is actually the best solution. Having said that, the human leaders are still unwilling to do so. They probably mean that they can sell finished energy-matter conversion equipment, but not quark-matter material technology.

The Daya civilization was helpless. In order to convince humans and for their own civilization to have armor like the Lyra, the Daya civilization finally made a difficult decision. They planned to share their core technology tree with humans in exchange for humans' quark material technology.

After the Daya civilization made such concessions, humans finally agreed to its request to share quark material technology.

This is actually worth it, because the core technology of the Daya civilization is their technology for creating the fake Gaia planet, which is a mature consciousness uploading technology.

Humans have always intended to conduct in-depth research on technologies related to spiritual consciousness, but because the theory of everything has only been mastered for a short time, there is not much foundation in spiritual consciousness. However, it is different now, because the technology tree sharing is not just a technology, but the details of the entire technology tree, including the ideas in the research process, scientific notes, experimental development process, discovery process, conclusion summary experience, etc.

This is equivalent to humans directly obtaining the countless accumulated experience of the Daya civilization in the technology tree of consciousness uploading technology.

Of course, the Daya civilization is not at a disadvantage either, as the same can be said about the quark material technology tree shared with them by humans. As an old level five civilization, they can also produce quark materials after obtaining the same detailed technology tree from humans.

But the production is as shockingly low as that of humans.

In fact, humans are not afraid that the Daya civilization will surpass themselves in combat effectiveness after obtaining quark material technology. The consciousness-linked battleships are the most powerful combat power of humans. The Daya civilization is now very clear about the almost unsolvable dodging ability, so they are now behaving unusually well.

But then again, after this exchange, the two sides have been able to share their expertise on the technological level.

The Daya civilization, in particular, has become more favorable to human civilization after they discovered that humans did not seem to take advantage of the situation and bully the weak. Moreover, perhaps due to the propaganda about the war between the spiral arms, many Daya people within the civilization also have a great favorable impression of human civilization.

While digesting the technology tree of the Daya civilization, humans formulated a millennium plan, but not one thousand years, but two thousand years.

Humanity plans to use two thousand years to completely digest the technology tree shared by the Dya civilization and turn it into technological creations to strengthen its own strength. At the same time, the plan for 10 million star-class battleships is also included in this millennium plan.

There are also related research plans for life sciences, and the technology tree related to life sciences is also within the technology tree shared by the Daya civilization. After all, consciousness uploading technology is a branch technology of life sciences.

On the other hand, the Daya civilization also formulated its own millennium plan, the content of which was similar to that of humans, both of which were about building ships and digesting scientific and technological knowledge.

Two thousand years!

Perhaps it is true as the Daya civilization said, that once the two civilizations complete their plans, the situation in the Milky Way will change again.

By then, Level 5 civilization will no longer be as safe as it is now. Those Level 6 civilizations that hid because of the war will return to the Milky Way. After all, thousands of years is enough for ordinary Level 6 civilizations to recover.

In this regard, both civilizations have a sense of urgency and crisis.

Even the Daya civilization did not mention continuing to sell the fake Gaia planet in the Orion Arm, at least they would not broadcast it all over the map like they did in the Perseus Arm.

Now, in addition to the Millennium Plan, the two civilizations are thinking about how to reach the sixth level of civilization. As a result, the scientific community of the two civilizations has set off a wave of research on dark matter and dark energy. The Daya civilization has set off a wave of research again, and humans have appeared for the first time.

Both civilizations know that the iconic technology of level six civilization is related to dark matter, so the direction must be correct.
