The moment Gao Gong lowered his head, he discovered that Gao Yuanyuan's illusory figure had appeared in his arms at some point.
Within the information sea, her figure seemed dreamlike and illusory, like a transparent mermaid.

Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan didn't believe him, Gao Gong smiled and explained:
"As an information civilization that follows the path of virtualization, the most important things are nothing more than three points: data, computation, and cognition. With the 'virtual hardware blueprints' and 'virtual software blueprints' I gave you—in other words, those virtual industrial and virtual agricultural planets—the first two are no problem at all.

However, as the leader of a former sixth-level civilization, Gao Gong didn't need the so-called "technological progress" brought by trends of thought. He had a complete technology tree in his hands, with everything from the
