The Interstellar Government temporarily suppressed the conflict, but until the fundamental problem was resolved, this kind of social conflict would never disappear.
If this conflict had existed in an era of settlement, Human Civilization would inevitably have faced a far greater risk of division. Of course, that risk still existed now, but everyone knew full well what status Human Civilization held in The Great Voyage Organization. Anyone who broke away could no longer continue the voyage, because the Interstellar Government still firmly supported The Great Voyage.
And if they stayed behind, those gifted humans would absolutely never stay with them. That meant the branch of Human Civilization that remained in some star system to develop would henceforth exist only as an ordinary Level Six Civilization.
Against the backdrop of the current universe, whether it was the disaster sweeping through the cosmos or the various traveling factions of The Great Voyage Organization, that branch of Human Civilization would be at risk of extinction. So although those people caused trouble, they were not brainless. Not one of them dared to say they would split away.
On the other hand, affected by the issue of lifespan ending, the once-flourishing research into Characteristic Technology was also greatly impacted. Many top scientists who had long stood at the very forefront of research had reached the age where their lives naturally came to an end, and they could not continue fighting on the front line through Consciousness Upload or clone-body Memory Revival.
As a result, research into the new movement method of Characteristic Technology, which had originally been on the verge of completion, nearly fell into stagnation. Fortunately, the scientists on the second line proved fairly capable, and only because of that did the research project avoid regression.
Human Civilization, of course, could not possibly fail
