Since the destruction of the Solar System and the arrival of humankind in space, although some have definitively called their collective civilization Human Civilization, in reality, from that time until now, humanity has always been struggling to survive.

There was intrigue and backstabbing, deception and treachery.

They have encountered civilizations many times more powerful than themselves, and Primitive Civilization that did not even know how to forge steel.

But along the way, humanity seems to have had no grand goals, only a struggle to survive, a struggle to live in this dark and unknown universe. Because of this, humanity has both admired and feared the strong, and has also bullied the weak.

Throughout these countless years, humanity as a whole seems to have never undertaken any meaningful spiritual civilization construction. From the initial extreme rejection of extraterrestrials that arose from the destruction of the sun leading to a wandering journey, to a more moderate stance after discovering a series of information, and then to the purposeful acceptance of Alien Race as vassal races.

The mental outlook and overall ideology of human groups are constantly changing in this process, but these are all natural changes, and New Government rarely intervene.

Until after this meeting.

The vast majority of people at the meeting believed that in the past, we had no choice but to struggle for survival. Now that humanity has reached the Level 3 Civilization, we have a certain ability to protect ourselves and our material resources are abundant. It is time to bring up the construction of spiritual civilization again.

The view holds that the progress of a civilization is not only about technological advancement, but also requires that the individuals within that civilization keep pace with technological progress in terms of spiritual civilization. Otherwise, one day, spiritual civilization may become an obstacle to technological progress, and in severe cases, problems in spiritual civilization may cause the entire civilization to stagnate and descend into chaos.

The construction of spiritual civilization does not mean dictating how humanity should treat extraterrestrials; these are two different things. The overarching goal of the plan is to keep humanity motivated to move forward.

Clearly, the proposals for building spiritual civilization and setting grand goals have received support from almost everyone.

Meanwhile, a meeting was also being held on a Research Ship. Unlike the meeting discussing the construction of spiritual civilization, this was a seminar on the field of technology.

Their discussion focused on the Magnetic Propulsion Miniaturization Technology developed by the Crimson Flame Civilization.

In truth, it was more of a learning session than a discussion. Since the Crimson Flame Civilization had already achieved Magnetic Propulsion Miniaturization Technology, after humanity defeated and captured most of their Residential Spaceship, they took the technology and the scientists who researched it with them.

Therefore, what humanity has obtained is the complete Magnetic Propulsion Miniaturization Technology, from the needs analysis of Magnetic Propulsion miniaturization scientific research projects, to project approval, construction plan, experimental exploration, inspection results, prototype production, and finally acceptance evaluation.

It even includes the research notes and insights of the supervising scientists, as well as samples of their creations.

It's no exaggeration to say that the Magnetic Propulsion Miniaturization Technology is a gift from the Crimson Flame Civilization to humankind; it was indeed an unexpected delight.

Therefore, this so-called technical seminar is actually a learning process for many scientists and engineers. They need to understand the Magnetic Propulsion Miniaturization Technology, comprehend all its details, and then have human Production Department manufacture it themselves, so that it truly becomes something of human origin.

Absorbing a technology is not simply a matter of acquiring it, storing it in a computer, and that's it. Human Strong Artificial Intelligence needs to learn, and humans also need to learn.

Although it is just a miniaturization technology, it involves a lot of knowledge. It doesn't seem like much when stored on a computer, but if you print all this information on A4 Paper, you could probably print a ton of books.

This only covers miniaturization technology; it doesn't even include the knowledge involved in Magnetic Propulsion Technology itself.

If this is the case for one technology, one can imagine how difficult it is for a civilization to advance technology in all aspects.

According to the records of the Crimson Flame Civilization, humanity learned that from the initiation of the Magnetic Propulsion miniaturization technology project to its successful development, the Crimson Flame Civilization had more than 50,000 research institutions and universities, and 4.3 million scientists, Research Personnel, and Engineering Design from various fields directly or indirectly involved.

In the Earth Era, no country could accomplish such scientific research on its own, unless it had some kind of superpower.

Every step forward in technological civilization is the result of the collective efforts of countless individuals, and every creation is a crystallization of countless wisdoms.

In the process of learning and mastering this technology, humans discovered that the Crimson Flame Civilization used a very ingenious method. By combining their advanced Nanotechnology and through precise manipulation in the microscopic field, they stacked the originally nested Alice Ring in the nanoscale in an unprecedented way, reducing them from massive individuals measured in kilometers to a scale of hundreds of meters.

For a starship, a scale of 100 meters is already quite small, but that's not its limit. The Crimson Flame Civilization has only recently achieved miniaturization of Magnetic Propulsion, which is considered its first-generation technology, and there's still a lot of room for optimization.

According to the original development plan recorded in the Crimson Flame Civilization Database, their next goal was to apply this technology to their Life Individual Armor, which was their Second Generation Magnetic Propulsion Technology plan.

It's important to understand that the individual life forms of the Crimson Flame Civilization are very small, and the armor they wear is no larger than a person, which shows that they have great confidence in the future of these technologies.

Surprisingly, after obtaining the Magnetic Propulsion Miniaturization Technology from the Crimson Flame Civilization, humanity discovered that its own technology filled the technological gap, leading to rapid progress in the second-generation Magnetic Propulsion Miniaturization Technology project.

This research is currently being continued by the Crimson Flame Civilization because humanity does not yet possess sufficient scientific research capabilities in this field.

To address this, humans provided their research institutions with Mechanical Specialization Technology and corresponding Strong Artificial Intelligence. Clearly, these two areas of technology were the very technologies that originally limited the Magnetic Propulsion Miniaturization Technology.

Humanity's Mechanical Mastery was perfectly suited to optimize the structure of the Crimson Flame Civilization's second-generation miniaturized Magnetic Propulsion, while far more advanced computer technology offered new possibilities for more precise operations in the Crimson Flame Civilization. Thus, while human engineers and scientists were still learning the first-generation Magnetic Propulsion Technology, the Crimson Flame Civilization's scientific team boldly declared that they would achieve second-generation miniaturized Magnetic Propulsion Technology within ten years.

In fact, the technological complementarity between humans and the Crimson Flame Civilization is not only reflected in the research process of miniaturizing second-generation Magnetic Propulsion, but its effects will also be demonstrated in various technological fields over time.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, Human Civilization will make progress in various fields to varying degrees, and some technological routes that were not originally involved will also appear in human Credits research through this complementarity.
