Dialogue

"Won't such probing leave a bad impression on that Mining Area Patrol?" someone worried.

"Ask if you have any doubts. Although the civilization of the Mining Area Patrol is much more advanced than ours, he is now in a precarious situation. Since he can't get out, the initiative is in our hands." Yue Yuan smiled contemptuously. "As for the temptation of knowledge from advanced civilizations, we do want it, but what is that knowledge compared to human safety? As the saying goes, no matter how much money you have, you have to be alive to spend it."

"If we really upset that Mining Area Patrol, we can just ignore him. You know, getting knowledge from him/her is just icing on the cake. Does that mean we humans can't research and progress on our own without him/her? It just takes a little longer. You need to understand that he/she is the one who's in a hurry right now, not us."

"Commander Yue /Chief of Staff is right!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Then let's throw those two questions at him and see how that Mining Area Patrol answers!" Yue Yuan said leisurely.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youqin immediately understood that Yue Yuan did not want to engage in dialogue as before. So he immediately shouted to 'Tianhe Light': "Tianhe Light, translate the two questions that Professor Wei just asked into the code of Moke Star Language."

Tianhe Light: Yes, sir.

AI is incredibly efficient; the code appeared in the storage device the moment the words were spoken.

After Zhao Youqin pressed the button, the message was sent out, and humans entered a half-hour waiting period.

Surprisingly, half an hour later, the response humans received was not an angry reply, but a kind one with a slight apology.

Ah, I was careless. I probably slept too long and forgot some things. To be honest, I don't really know what happened in the final stage back then. Maybe our Homeworld Plan successfully escaped. If that's the case, that would be great!

As for the Artificial Intelligence disaster you mentioned, it is indeed possible. However, you have also seen the situation on Ross 154-4 Planet. I think it is probably that our Moke Star Civilization has led the Nanomachine Consciousness Entity to other star systems.

I'm sorry, I can't answer your question either. After all, it's been over 20,000 years, and I don't know what happened back then. Perhaps that Artificial Intelligence Consciousness was destroyed by an advanced civilization. You know, technological civilizations in the universe are extremely hostile to Artificial Intelligence Civilization.

Honestly, I haven't thought that far ahead with my plans; I just want to survive. But if you're truly willing to save me, I do have a wish. If you don't mind, I'm willing to follow you, even join you.

If possible in the future, please help me inquire about the news of our Moke Star Civilization. If my civilization is still alive, I would like to send me back when you are able to do so. Rest assured, our Moke Star Civilization is a very friendly civilization. Peaceful coexistence with all civilizations in the universe has always been our civilization's principle, so you don't need to worry about encountering any unpleasant things.

If our civilization perishes, I am willing to join your civilization and become one of you. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, you don't need to worry about the survival environment of different races. Once you reach Level 3 Civilization, you should be able to master Biological Modification Technology. At that time, you can modify me to adapt to your living environment. Of course, if you don't mind, I still request to retain my appearance, after all, I am already the Last Moke Star Person.

The Mining Area Patrol's reply was very sincere, which won the favor of many experts present.

Those who had previously assumed malicious intent towards the Mining Area Patrol have changed their stance, realizing they had been overthinking things.

Perhaps the universe isn't so dark after all, and there are still benevolent civilizations like the Moke Star Civilization; it's just that humanity was initially misled by the disasters.

Some people are even imagining the relationships between different civilizations in the universe.

It's possible that an environment where different races can live together peacefully might actually exist, like in Star Trek, where they exchange resources and live in harmony. That doesn't seem impossible.

After all, the Moke Star Civilization has already envisioned the path to Interstellar Civilization. If Faster-Than-Light Travel and Superluminal Communication really exist, then the universe will not be Dark Forest.

Of course, the absence of Dark Forest does not mean that war does not exist.

Wherever there are people, there are conflicts; the same applies to the universe. If the universe is a universe where civilizations coexist, then there will inevitably be conflicts.

"Although the Mining Area Patrol refused to answer the questions from the nano-intelligent consciousness, citing ignorance as the reason, I think that's reasonable. Imagine being a survivor; not knowing is normal."

At this point, an expert who had a better impression of the Mining Area Patrol spoke up.

"Another problem is that for a survivor, living is the greatest hope, and his/her request is reasonable. However, if we really want to help him/her, we have to consider preparing a separate place for him/her to live."

The expert spoke eloquently, seemingly already planning for future alien habitats.

"Until we master the corresponding modification technology, he/she must live alone, and all survival equipment, food, and even entertainment facilities must be unmanned. Because we don't know what microorganisms he/she carries, precautions in this regard must be taken."

"Wait a moment!"

Another expert interrupted him, "It's too early to think about these things now. And aren't you worried about that Mining Area Patrol? You know, he/she is a truly advanced civilization to us. Who knows if he/she has any strange abilities?"

"What ability? Can a Carbon-Based Lifeforms really withstand the impact of steel? Besides, we can't avoid scanning its body at that time, and I believe it knows what to do."

Furthermore, while they may be from an advanced civilization, imagine if you were sent back to the Stone Age without guns—could you defeat them? Similarly, once this Mining Area Patrol boards our prepared boat, what can he/she possibly do?

"This"

"Alright, alright, let's discuss this later. Let's talk about whether we need your help first!" Yue Yuan waved his hand, interrupting the two experts.

Yue Yuan also felt that flesh and blood could not compare with steel. Of course, if he agreed to help, a body scan would be needed to make a judgment.

At this point, a sociologist said, "I think the other party is a benevolent survivor of a civilized society, and we can gain more benefits by choosing to help. Imagine if anyone of us were to go back to the era of the centralized imperial system in ancient times, even someone who did not know the specific technology could bring endless inspiration to the scientists of that time with just common sense. It can be said that choosing to help us can only bring benefits and no harm."
