For a Primitive Civilization, the Technology Tree of Tier 1 Civilization is like a vast ocean—a true ocean of knowledge.

The majestic image of the God of Light was elevated once again in this endless ocean of knowledge, reaching a level of reverence even for a dog. Great, majestic, powerful, tall, mighty, vast as the sea—the image of the God of Light Civilization was transformed into nouns in the Dog-Headed People language, deeply ingrained in the minds of every Dog-Headed People.

After more than a year of exploration, these Dog-Headed People concluded that it was impossible for them to complete the task of exploring the Heavenly Gate on their own with only three hundred or so Dog-Headed People. They needed to add more people, otherwise they would have to use wave after wave of Dog-Headed People to complete the task.

When this news reached the Rockfire Nation Dog-Headed People, it immediately attracted the attention of the country's top leaders.

They now have two choices: one is to keep the secret of the Heavenly Gate and continue the research and study of this group; the other is to release the news and gather the scientific power of the entire Dog-Headed People Planet to explore together.

For the entire Dog-Headed People race, the second option was undoubtedly the right one. However, for the Rockfire Nation, they certainly did not want to choose the second option. Therefore, after several discussions, they decided to adopt another compromise strategy: to delay for a period of time, allowing the Dog-Headed People to continue their research, while organizing a special research project within the country to gather all the humans in the country and conduct their research independently to the best of their ability. They would then activate the second option when they could no longer block the news.

The leaders of the Rockfire Nation were well aware that their own kingdom alone could not acquire all the technology within the 'God of Light's Residence' in a short period of time. Their choice was mainly to give their kingdom the upper hand.

As for how to seize this opportunity, the leadership of the Rockfire Nation has already reached an agreement: to increase their investment in science education. They plan to train a group of professionals within a Local Year and then have them participate in the Heaven's Gate Exploration Project.

Once these talents have a level of knowledge that can keep up with the research progress of the Heaven's Gate Exploration Project, we will make it public and gather scientists from all over the world to explore and learn the knowledge left by the God of Light.

Overall, the plan is not bad. After all, by then, the people of the Rockfire Nation will be familiar with the knowledge of various Credits, and their knowledge will be able to connect with the knowledge left by mankind, which means they have reached the forefront of world science. At that time, even if scientists from other countries join, they will not be able to take the initiative. At that time, the exploration of things in the base will be entirely decided by the Rockfire Nation.

The top leaders of the Rockfire Nation believe that they can make good use of this base to achieve the goal of leading the world. In this way, when they develop and set foot in the stars, the Rockfire Nation will be the leader, leading the whole world to leave their home planet, develop in the stars, and search for the God of Light Civilization.

These should all be led by their Rockfire Nation.

Of course, the leadership of the Rockfire Nation's plans didn't stop there. After receiving some information about the 'God of Light's Residence,' they also intended to use this opportunity to carry out a global unification plan. They planned to integrate all the kingdoms into one system and unite all the Dog-Headed People into one force, but only under the leadership framework of the Rockfire Nation.

To this end, they proposed United Government Plan and, in the future, formally had the national propaganda agency gradually introduce the concept of 'civilization' to society. The intention was clear: to give all Dog-Headed People in the world the same concept: all nations and all Dog-Headed People belong to the same civilization.

Although the Rockfire Nation is the most developed country in the world, it is not yet at the point of sweeping across the globe, so they plan to choose another way to unite the Dog-Headed People.

In fact, the Rockfire Nation had also considered using the weapons in the 'God of Light's Residence' to unify the world, such as sending out a transport ship to crush the world and make all nations submit. The transport ship required a lot of pilots, but the Rockfire Nation could still meet the personnel needed to pilot just one transport ship. Of course, this would take a long time.

However, this human base is not some remnant base; it is managed by Artificial Intelligence. The Artificial Intelligence managing the base has explicitly told these Dog-Headed People that the base's weapons are not allowed to be used against other Dog-Headed People, because the 'God of Light' does not want to see Dog-Headed People killing each other.

This information from the base's Artificial Intelligence did not make the Dog-Headed People dissatisfied; on the contrary, they admired the 'God of Light Civilization' even more. It was all for the sake of the Dog-Headed People; what a kind 'God of Light Civilization'!

The leaders of the Rockfire Nation dared not disobey and could only choose the path of peaceful evolution.

However, the Dog-Headed People of the Rockfire Nation never expected that there was a spy among the first batch of top scientists they sent out.

At first, their plan went relatively smoothly. Other countries learned of their movements but found no clues. It wasn't until more than a dozen years later, after some of the first batch of scientists were transferred back to their home countries for rotation and to lead domestic research projects, that the news was leaked.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Of course, it wasn't on a global scale, but rather in the country that received the news. They were relatively rational; instead of making a fuss, they quickly dispatched a delegation to negotiate with the Rockfire Nation, stating: We also want to join the 'Heaven's Gate Exploration Project'.

The moment the Rockfire Nation received the delegation's request, it realized that there were spies within its ranks, and that the spies were targeting the scientists who had been recalled to the country, since information could not be transmitted from the 'God of Light's Residence' camp in the Center of the Continent.

The top leaders of the Rockfire Nation were aware of the seriousness of the matter and were also well aware that the spy belonged to the country that had sent the delegation. However, they could not make it public. Not only could they not make it public, but they also had to tacitly acknowledge their participation in the 'Heaven's Gate Exploration Project'.

This is unavoidable, because it's more cost-effective for only two countries to know about it than for the news to spread throughout the world.

Thus, more than a decade after the 'Heaven's Gate Exploration Project' began, another Dog-Headed People Nation joined the project, sending its own team of scientists to the center of the Pangu Center of the Continent under the guise of a scientific research expedition.

However, some information cannot be blocked just because you want to. Other countries are not stupid. They have no spies in Rockfire Nation, but they have spies in the country that got involved. They happen to be high-ranking spies. The moment that country received the information, the moment their high-ranking officials held a meeting to discuss it, the information had already been known to the third country.

So, not long after the second nation joined, a delegation from the third nation arrived in the Rockfire Nation and made the same request. Based on the principle of delaying the spread of the news as much as possible, the Rockfire Nation had no choice but to agree again.

But it also warned the third country that if any other countries found out, it would be their problem.

The third country wasn't stupid either. After receiving the news, they realized the risk that it might spread from them, since they had also received the news from the second country. So they managed to control the spread of the news quite well.

However, the fact that two countries organized a large-scale scientific expedition to the Center of the Continent Pangu in such a short period of time is itself a noteworthy event. Therefore, although other countries have not yet received definite news, they have also sensed something different.

The atmosphere among the nations of the Dog-Headed People Planet seemed to have become strange, especially among the nations that shared a region with the Rockfire Nation. They keenly sensed that the Rockfire Nation and the other two nations seemed to be plotting something.

Therefore, although no definitive information has been received yet, they have all unanimously focused the nation's attention on the vast wilderness in the Center of the Continent. They have begun to organize scientific expeditions in the name of the state or encourage civilian exploration teams to explore the Center of the Continent.
