A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 188 This Civilization's Collective Time Travel

Upon hearing Lu Shang's words, Nanali pondered for a moment and said, "Uh... this probably won't work, will it?"

"Why do you think that?" Lu Shang asked.

"Because of the development of technology, it is inevitable to conduct in-depth exploration of the microscopic world. In this way, the Rata civilization will definitely discover the ubiquitous microscopic organisms in the bee colony in the breeding farm," Nanali explained her reasoning.

The development of science and technology is a process of re-understanding and reusing the world; in short, it is about how to use matter more efficiently.

Since we are learning about matter, we will inevitably discover, one day, the microscopic organisms hiding in the civilized breeding farm.

In other words, the existence of the bee colony will inevitably be discovered by the technologically advanced Rata people one day, and it is impossible for it to remain as a technological battery for the bee colony forever.

This is very different from civilized farms that raise psionic creatures.

The civilization farms of psionic beings only need to continuously provide higher levels of psionic energy. Improving to higher levels of psionic energy does not require a renewed understanding of the world or the deep mysteries of matter within it.

Lu Shang said dismissively, "So what if they found it? As long as they don't think it's a living thing, isn't that enough?"

"Furthermore, the environment in the breeding farm can be modified and adjusted to a certain extent to allow the existence of normal particle structures, so that the microorganisms can simply serve as the constituent particles of the Rata people's bodies."

"In this way, the microscopic organisms of the bee swarm become the shadows of these Rata people, and they can never escape their gaze except for thinking itself."

It's fine for the Rata people to study the deep mysteries of matter, as long as the microscopic organisms stay away.

The mass of matter formed by the bodies of the Rata people is their final hiding place.

Normal people wouldn't go under the knife for no reason and then examine all the particles that make up their body.

Therefore, the swarm of bees only needs to make the microscopic organisms become part of the bodies of these Rata people to achieve the purpose of concealment and surveillance.

Even if the Rata people achieve mechanical ascension one day, it doesn't matter. Chips are made of material particles, right?

Thinking always requires information-carrying particles like electrons, right?

Just let microscopic organisms attach themselves to it.

Nanali said, "But if the Rata people keep studying their own life structure in order to prolong their lifespan, they will one day discover the microscopic organisms hidden in their bodies."

Lu Shang said, "What does it matter? Just play dead. How would they know that these microscopic organisms aren't an integral part of their bodies?"

"Even if we take a step back and assume that the existence of the swarm is completely exposed, it's not really a big problem. They are a satellite civilization of the swarm, and they can't possibly be hostile to the swarm."

In terms of military strength, Lu Shang had considerable confidence in the bee swarm and was not afraid of these Leita people causing any major trouble.

Lu Shang said, "If the experiment of the Rata civilization is successful, the swarm can replicate this model to other civilizations. With the addition of time acceleration, the swarm's technology should see a leap forward."

……

The Raita Empire has been transported to another world.

All the people of Reta believe this.

When they awoke from their slumber, they discovered that all the cities on the administrative planet had inexplicably been transferred to unfamiliar planets.

It was as if some supreme being had pressed a button in a game, causing a collective change in the environment outside their city of the Reta Empire.

Among them were imperial fleets, which were also like this.

When the crew awoke, they discovered that the space environment outside the fleet had changed, and their fleet was now in orbit above the planet where the city was located.

It's incredible, but it really happened in reality.

Fortunately, the major cities can still maintain contact through faster-than-light communicators, which has eased the panic in the hearts of the Rata people a little.

Led by the Imperial Fleet, the various cities of the Rata people on the planet's surface formed independent military governments and imposed military control over the entire cities.

The higher-ups of the Rata people discovered that their esteemed emperor and some other high-ranking officials seemed to have been unlucky enough not to have traveled to this alien world with them.

The various fleets were all on equal footing, and none of them were willing to submit to the others, thus forming a political structure similar to a military council.

The original imperial system could wait until the situation was clear and external security was confirmed before slowly implementing it.

As the exploration of these planets deepened, the Rata people unexpectedly discovered that their journey was not an ordinary collective one; they had traveled to an alien world filled with psionic energy.

In this other world, even an animal can unleash spiritual energy.

The Rata people had learned about such a universe from the Babel Swarm, specifically the G Universe that was destroyed by the Babel Swarm.

This also confirmed to the Rata people that they were not in the original main universe, but in another new universe.

The Rata people, who knew all this, felt both uneasy and secretly pleased. They were uneasy because the universe was full of unknowns, but pleased because for the time being there was nothing that could suppress their powerful civilization, and they were no longer a vassal of a dominant civilization.

The unfamiliar universe is full of opportunities and resources, and they may become a civilization comparable to, or even surpassing, the Tower of Babel swarm.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to climb higher; every civilization has its own ambitions.

However, these Rata people did not know that this was just a small-scale breeding farm for the bees.

"Is it really okay for you to just dump these Rata people in this newly built civilized breeding farm?" Outside the breeding farm, the mastermind Kasha asked Rabi, somewhat speechless.

The rabbi retorted dismissively, "They're all farms, the laws of physics aren't that different from the main universe, what problems could there be?"

Kasha said, "Uh... for example, exposing microscopic organisms or something, and in this civilization breeding farm, there are also many psionic creatures that have already taken shape and been sown by bee colonies."

Originally, Kasha thought that a separate microcosm-level breeding farm should be prepared for these Rata people, but Rabi did not think so, so he threw these Rata people, along with their city and fleet, into this newly built microcosm-level breeding farm, which was used to cultivate higher-level psionic creatures.

Rabbi replied casually, "They can't be exposed. I've looked at their current technology; their materials science research has only reached the neutron and proton level, which is still far from the neutrino level of microscopic organisms."

"It's not a big problem if there are fully developed psionic beings in the farm; competition drives development."

"If you throw these Rata people into a desolate microcosm-level breeding farm, without any external pressure, who knows if they'll just kill themselves."

"But..." Kasha wanted to say something more, but she felt that this was not a safe bet.

Rabbi interrupted Kasha before she could finish speaking: "Don't worry, Lu Shang said before that even if there are problems, they won't be too big. At worst, we can just kill them all."
