Reverence for Life

(It's a mistake, it's Chapter 292 ╯□╰)

Yes, the Awakeners did say some things that puzzled humans, and it all seems like a coincidence.

Humanity once attributed its encounters with several Alien Civilization and Life Planet along the way to the universality of life in the universe, and analysis of various information gathered by humanity has indeed shown this to be true.

But the events that have occurred since meeting the Awakeners do indeed have an element of coincidence. If, as this Cosmic Sociology says, it is truly a test from the Awakeners, then so be it.

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Yue Yuan finally spoke up, "Forget it, you don't need to think so much. It's already come to this point, whether it's a test or not doesn't matter anymore. From the moment we chose to come to this Star System, the fate of the Dog-Headed People was already sealed. After all, we didn't have enough fuel to set sail and leave at all, that's a fact."

Since it's unavoidable, let's proceed according to the original plan. We'll have the relevant departments make the arrangements, and try to take as many Dog-Headed People as possible with us."

As soon as Yue Yuan finished speaking, a member of the Think Tank who had not yet expressed his opinion spoke up, "No, Commander Yue, perhaps we can do something."

"Oh?" Yue Yuan raised his eyelids.

After a moment of contemplation, the member of the Think Tank said, "Putting aside external factors, we shouldn't cut off the Dog-Headed People' path to space, both morally and logically. But we can't just give back the resources we've already used, so there's only one way left."

"Yes, continue," Yue Yuan nodded.

The others also looked at this member of the Think Tank.

"We can leave a spaceship for the Dog-Headed People." The Think Tank member didn't waste any words and directly stated his idea. "Anyway, we can't take the whole base with us. If possible, we might as well keep the main building and put one or two transport ships in the base. This way, we can give the Dog-Headed People a chance to survive. Moreover, we might gain something unexpected in the future if we do this."

These words immediately stirred the minds of everyone present.

They understood what the unexpected gains in the words meant. According to the normal thinking of civilized development, if the Dog-Headed People were lucky enough to escape their cage by flying on the transport ships left by humans, they might actually encounter them again in the universe in the future.

Yue Yuan nodded, looked at the Think Tank member and the Cosmic Sociology scholar, and said, "That's not bad. You two should discuss this matter later, draft a proposal, and submit it to the meeting for everyone to discuss. If it passes, then do it this way."

"Yes, Commander Yue."

"Okay, that's settled then."

As he spoke, Yue Yuan stood up, turned off the Magnetic Boots, then turned around and pushed off slightly with his left foot, causing his body to float towards the hatch.

Before long, he left the central bridge, or rather the Command Center of the Lyra, and drifted along until he reached a porthole.

As far as the eye could see through the porthole was the Dog-Headed People Planet.

The Lyra has been in a distant Earth orbit, so from here, the Dog-Headed People Planet doesn't look very large, but you can still make out the general colors of the planet. Moreover, since it's the only planet in space, and the Lyra is currently orbiting between the planet and the star, it's very conspicuous.

After Yue Yuan activated his Magnetic Boots again to stabilize himself, he placed his hands on the railing and stared intently at the lonely planet.

After undergoing physical enhancement modifications, his eyesight was excellent, so even from a great distance, he could still distinguish the flashes of light from the busy transport ships near the planet.

As he watched, for some reason, a huge image of a dog's head suddenly appeared in his mind, as if the image of the dog's head had merged with the planet outside the porthole.

In this situation, Yue Yuan sighed inwardly, "Respect life and honor wisdom. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, we will leave you with a few transport ships."

Yue Yuan believed that the two had sufficient reasons to persuade the meeting, and the proposal should be passed. After all, it would only leave behind a few transport ships; transport ships were nothing compared to the abundance of humans.

As for the specifics of how to leave the transport ship behind, that's none of Yue Yuan's concern. Of course, given his current understanding of human technology, he can probably deduce it.

It's simply a matter of storing them at the base and figuring out how to preserve them on the transport ships. Storage itself isn't the problem; the key is long-term preservation.

Given the current state of development of the Dog-Headed People, it would be impossible for them to enter the Industrial Age in less than several thousand years. This is after being influenced by human industrial products and scientific education for the last hundred years or so. If there were no human intervention, sociologists estimate that it would take at least ten thousand years for the Dog-Headed People to naturally enter the Industrial Age.

Of course, such age estimates have a very large margin of error, since no one has the ability to predict the future. Therefore, if humanity wants to preserve transport ships, it must overcome the erosion of time.

When humans first set foot in the stars, they had already experienced thousands of life-or-death journeys, but those were still extremely dangerous, as human equipment at that time simply did not have such a long shelf life.

Even now, as a Level 2 Civilization, human scientists are not confident that they can keep human electronic products running for 10,000 years. Of course, 1,000 years is still a long shot.

However, if we're going to do it, we must strive for persistence.

Therefore, Yue Yuan believed that the engineers would most likely leave the main body of the base intact, because the main structure contained many solar panels previously used by humans. With the Heavy Nuclear Reactor not operating, the electricity they provided would be the primary energy source for the base's AI to operate in standby mode.

The engineers also estimate that a long-lived Fission Backup Battery will be placed in the base to replace the standby energy of the base's AI after the solar panels are damaged.

As for the transport ships, they will likely be stored in the basement of the original site.

After all, the world changes, and once humans leave, nearby plants will inevitably take over the original site quickly, so it's impossible for transport ships to be left in the open.

Besides that, there's the issue of the design of the Authentication System.

Since the base is intended for the Dog-Headed People, it must be ensured that other species cannot enter. Therefore, humans need to develop a Detection System based on Dog-Headed People genes to activate the base.

Finally, there's the issue of meeting the base's activation conditions. This is a bit difficult because humans have no way to directly detect whether the Dog-Headed People arrive here have entered the Information Age.

However, this is not a problem for humans. Since they cannot detect it from the Dog-Headed People themselves, they can start from other aspects, such as setting up a device that can sense regular Electromagnetic Wave.

Once it's detected, activate the AI placed here and let it perform the subsequent checks; that's all.

Oh, and there's also the issue of guidance.

Humans may need to leave some legends for the Dog-Headed People before they leave.
