Two Civilizations' Cooperation

Xu Lanxin was not surprised by this question. She gave a slight nod, and the starlight in the control room flowed and gathered into a clear diagram of the three-tier civilization system. "According to a rough classification, based on the degree of control over energy, matter, space, and their own life forms, civilizations can generally be divided into three levels."

"First level: planetary civilization.

They possess complete control over and make full use of all the energy and resources on their planet. They can freely adjust the planetary climate and make initial explorations within their satellite system, such as landing on nearby planets and establishing small space stations. Their life forms are still primarily composed of their original physical bodies, though they may have begun attempting preliminary genetic optimization."

"According to our passive observations over the past thousand years, Blue Star civilization is currently in the mid-to-late transition phase of the first level."

"You have initially integrated your global resources and begun exploring nearby planets, but your energy-utilization efficiency remains low, with heavy reliance on fossil fuels and primitive nuclear fission. Your ability to regulate the environment is insufficient to fully withstand large-scale natural disasters, and regarding your understanding of life forms, you still have a long road ahead."

"Second level: interstellar civilization.

They can completely utilize all the energy in their star system, freely colonize and extract resources within it, and possess faster-than-light or near-light-speed travel technology. Their life forms may achieve consciousness uploading, mechanical ascension, or psionic sublimation, with lifespans greatly extended."

"For example, before our Star Spirit Clan encountered the Void Predators, we had already firmly reached the middle phase of second-level civilization. We could terraform planets, establish colonies in multiple star systems, and had mastered preliminary hyperspace-jump technology, such as spatial folding and wormhole traversal."
