The Civilization Guide Lectured Online

Lin Ye decided not to keep them in suspense any longer.

Kaza's defeat has proven his ideas to be correct.

To advance to the next stage of civilization, his own words alone are simply not enough.

If you squander your wealth too much, you won't be able to hold onto it, no matter how much you have.

He really needs to give these younger guys a hand.

"Since we've come all this way for the meeting, I'll share some clues I've gleaned from the Green Vine Civilization with you, which will also help you with your future research on the Instance."

As he spoke, Lin Ye casually waved his hand, and an interstellar map of the Tree Spirit Prime Star appeared on the Light Screen.

The scenes we just saw during the Instance are now being reproduced on the Light Screen to facilitate Lin Ye's explanation.

The District Head, who had been somewhat relaxed, suddenly straightened their backs and sat up straight as if by magic.

Their eyes were glued to the screen, afraid of missing even the slightest bit of important information.

It's important to understand that the person giving this explanation is no ordinary individual, but rather the renowned and powerful super Designer ranked number one on the Hero Ranking.

At the same time, he was also Civilization Guide leading the entire civilization forward!

If you can truly follow Lin Ye's steps to understand an Instance, that would be better than reading books for ten years!

For every Dungeon Designer present, it was clear that such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity could very well become a major turning point in their lives, and could even completely change the trajectory of their future destiny.

Therefore, everyone was fully focused and dared not slack off in the slightest.

"First of all, the Green Vine Civilization's 'Tree Spirit Abyss' confirms a previous idea of mine: any civilization's Instance in the Universe Arena, having developed to this stage, is definitely on the scale of Interstellar War."

In other words, the map must be at the scale of a planet.

"I believe everyone agrees on this point."

The heads of the several District Head all nodded.

This is exactly what Lin Dong said in the meeting before.

The Tree Spirit Abyss Instance is a very standard planetary Instance, with Primary Star and satellites. Its basic framework is extremely similar to Lin Ye's previous Earth Online.

It is indeed a planet-level map, and a very standard planetary map at that!

"For a civilization to reach the Level One Civilization stage, it must make full use of all the energy resources on the planet."

"In the context of Instance, it means that Designers need to be able to fully utilize all the resources within the map they design."

"Therefore, for any of your Instance to reach a level where they can be deployed in the Universe Arena, the following prerequisites must be met."

Lin Ye said calmly.

"First, it must be the size of a planet. This size is not fixed; it can be a large planet or a small planet, but it cannot be too small."

"I think it needs to be at least the size of those Seed Star in the Tree Spirit Abyss. If the map is too small, no matter how skilled you are in the Instance, it won't be of any use."

Early versions of Azure Star did indeed contain some small, sophisticated Instance, which Instance on logic and cunning to succeed.

It has a bit of the feel of using minimal force to achieve maximum effect.

However, it is no longer applicable to the current era of Universe competition.

We need to scale up first!

Your Instance so small, it probably doesn't even have the space to support some cutting-edge technology, so what's the point of talking about strength?!

It has to be at the planetary level; there's no room for discussion on that.

"Secondly, you must have a thorough understanding of the maps you design and make full use of all the resources within them. This is because the Creation Space operates on logic, and only with abundant resources can you support your subsequent weapon design."

"You must be able to describe the properties of every substance on the map, and know what it is used for! It can be used in weapons, Military Ordnance, at any level!"

"But in any case, we must make the best use of everything."

"Third, you must set a clear theme for your Instance! Have a very clear technological focus."

These words were actually something Lin Ye came up with while watching the Tree Spirit Abyss Instance earlier.

This sets an overall tone for the District Head.

Otherwise, these people would be like headless flies, without even a goal.

"Alright, now that I've covered that, I'll give you an in-depth analysis of the Tree Spirit Abyss Instance, and I'll also tell you about the Instance of the Heart of the Swarm that you've seen before."

"A comparison of the two will help you understand."

Lin Ye gently raised his hand and casually waved it a few times in the air.

The instant he waved his hand, a bright beam of light shot from his fingertips, heading straight for the Light Screen not far away. As the light touched...

The originally pitch-black Light Screen began to flash with colorful lights, and then a clear and realistic 3D view slowly appeared.

This viewpoint showcases the mysterious and awe-inspiring landscape of the Insect Star, from the previous Instance of the Heart of the Swarm.

At this moment, the two planets were placed side by side on the Light Screen.

One star, as green and translucent as jade, is the Tree Spirit Prime Star, brimming with vitality and spirituality; the other is a deep black, its surface seemingly writhing incessantly, as if possessing endless life force and unknown dangers—undoubtedly, this is the terrifying Insect Star.

Two planets, so different in style and so in stark contrast, were simultaneously displayed on the enormous Light Screen, each radiating its own unique aura and charm.

"The civilization of Tree Spirit Planet is plant-based. Through their series of technologies and weapons, we can see that this civilization's advantage lies in ecological utilization, and all technologies have been endowed with a large number of plant characteristics."

"Let me give you an example. Take their engine, for instance, which can convert plant energy into powerful propulsion, and their vine-like communication equipment, which can spread and grow underground like plant roots, thus achieving seamless signal coverage worldwide."

"Looking at their weapons and equipment, they are even more reminiscent of plants. One type of bomb is shaped like a flower, which releases countless tiny pollen-like particles upon explosion. These particles are highly corrosive and toxic, capable of causing massive damage to the enemy instantly."

Lin Ye remembered some details from the previous Instance quite clearly.

These are the fundamental keys to judging an Instance.

"Compared to our Azure Star's Instance, the Tree Spirit Abyss has a significantly more complex map and extremely high resource utilization, which is a major characteristic of the plant theme."

"In addition, as you may have noticed, this Instance also contains numerous buffs that significantly increase health regeneration and troop transport speed, which is precisely where plants have an advantage over humans."

"To put it bluntly, although the Green Vine Civilization is at the bottom of the pack, it is quite advanced in terms of energy utilization."

After talking about Tree Spirit Planet, Lin Ye pointed to the Heart of the Swarm Instance next to him.

"The Insect Star, on the other hand, has completely different characteristics. Compared to the Tree Spirit Planet, their map design is much simpler."

"There wasn't even a map design; the Insect Star was just a Zerg unit with nothing on it."

"The map is their weakness, but the advantage it brings is their Level -notch bioengineering. The swarm's abnormal reproductive and mutation abilities are something you can all clearly sense."

"These two Instance have different characteristics, so Instance features are naturally different as well. Heart of the Swarm, for example, is a rush-and-run strategy; if Challengers can't withstand the onslaught, they will be crushed instantly."

"As for the Tree Spirit Abyss, it's all about endurance; both the plant characteristics and the map design are quite complex."

"It's designed to make Challengers spend more time studying the Instance's mechanics, and then get confused by the complex map design and mechanics."

"Only through careful consideration and a step-by-step approach can we find a way out in this arduous and protracted war!"

Lin Ye cleared his throat, then deliberately gave the District Head a short period of time to think things through.

The amount of information is too much for them to digest.

After a long while, Xi'er suddenly spoke slowly.

"Commander Lin, I feel like I've grasped something."

"Whether it's the Insect Star or the Tree Spirit Planet, they each have their own very distinct characteristics."

"These traits are different, but in essence, they all meet the criteria for a Level One Civilization, as you mentioned. So, weapons and such are just the surface, the skin of an Instance. Traits are the soul of an Instance."

"If we were designing Instance, we could actually give them different characteristics based on our own Instance! And if these characteristics are designed well, they can then generate a lot of buffs."

"Because the design is clearly defined from the beginning, the logic is naturally complete, and there won't be any problems."

Xi'er is indeed Xi'er; her comprehension skills are quite advanced.

Lin Ye nodded slightly.

Xi'er isn't entirely right. Weapons are never just skins; they are the core of the core.

But given Xi'er's current rank, this interpretation is actually not wrong.

Traits are indeed very important.

This determines the style and tone of an Instance.

Previously, when Lin Ye generously shared his advanced technology with them.

He also meticulously set the initial tone and framework for each technology.

Take, for example, the decision to put Long Yuan in charge of Artificial Intelligence research.

Lin Ye actually harbored such an expectation.

It is hoped that Long Yuan can continue to explore this path in depth and eventually successfully create an Instance world with an extremely high level of intelligence.

Because once this level of intelligence reaches its peak, it can achieve so-called foresight—accurately predicting and understanding the Challengers' every move and action trajectory in advance.

Imagine it.

If an Instance could truly predict Challengers's next move accurately anytime, anywhere, it would undoubtedly become its unique and eye-catching feature!

As for Xi'er, she was entrusted with the important task of researching futuristic weapons.

Lin Ye made this arrangement simply because he recognized Xi'er's unique talent and passion as a true "War Profiteer."

He eagerly anticipated that this passionate and creative partner could use his wisdom and hard work to create a planet that could be described as a super arsenal.

This place is home to all sorts of incredibly powerful weapons and equipment!

The same goes for everyone else!

From novel combat organisms developed based on gene mutation technology, to ultra-high-speed computing systems manufactured using cutting-edge Quantum Computing principles, to unique combat tools born from in-depth research into the characteristics of various organisms, and so on...

As long as one strives for excellence and continuously breaks through and innovates in any direction, one will inevitably form unique and amazing advantages.

"That's right. What you need to do next is find your own unique characteristics. The reason I gave you different technologies before was so that you could differentiate yourselves based on those unique characteristics."

"Now that I've described this characteristic, let me tell you about some of the fatal weaknesses I've observed in the Tree Spirit Abyss."

"First of all, this planet has extremely poor outward expansion capabilities! Because they lack Universe Spaceships capable of long-distance travel," Lin Ye pointed out incisively.

"Furthermore, judging from the relationship between that Tree Spirit Prime Star and other Seed Stars, this civilization's understanding of interstellar space is very superficial."

"This is a constantly evolving Instance, focusing all its efforts on the map's detail, but lacking adaptability to other environments."

"Huh?" Arthur pursed his lips, glancing at Lin Ye with some surprise. "But Commander... at the end, didn't those Tree Spirit Planet's spacecraft combine into a large spaceship called the Ancient Tree Aerospace Battleship?"

"His so-called spaceship is actually more at the weapon level, and it doesn't prove that such a spaceship can conduct interstellar travel. Even if such a cumbersome aerial unit were a real Universe Spaceship, it would be one of the least practical types."

"I don't know if you've noticed a detail, but when the Tree Spirit Legion attacked Seed Star 1, they relied on neural networks for migration."

"This plant neural network transmits data very quickly, but what if we bring the Challengers from the Green Vine Civilization into our Instance? They won't have this neural network, so what will happen to them?"

"If only six planets can use this method, what about Sea of Stars with thousands of planets? Does that mean all of them rely on this vegetative-neural technology for matter transfer?"

"I admit that this transmission speed is fast, but it's a bit like the difference between a closed local area network and a wide area network."

What Lin Ye is saying now is his deep thinking during the live stream of the Instance just now.

Sometimes, we shouldn't be fooled by superficial things; we need to see the essence clearly.

If you only look at the mysterious and esoteric aspects of these Instances, you'll naturally be quite confused.

However, upon closer analysis, it becomes clear that many of these points are riddled with flaws.
