A colossal creature, its length exceeding even the diameter of Mars, hovered quietly directly in front of the [Earth].
The sheer size of the [Earth] made its status as the civilization's flagship unmistakable.
Likewise, the Silicon Ray had fully revealed its true form to humanity.
Its long, flexible tail was covered in sharp, bone-like spines.
It was easy to imagine what would happen if that tail, over 2,000 kilometers long, lashed the [Earth].
Looking at the enormous mouthparts gleaming darkly in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang swallowed hard.
There was a problem.
How do you disguise yourself as a silicon-based civilization in front of a silicon-based creature?
Waiting for answers online. Pretty urgent.
Things had already reached this point. He could hardly go up and tell it that the Enroget Civilization was actually carbon-based and that [Ten] had made a mistake back then, could he?
Lü Yongchang glanced again at those slightly parted mouthparts and abandoned that suicidal idea.
The Silicon Stingray Civilization did not seem particularly good-tempered.
He had no intention of risking his life to find out!
"Zero!" Lü Yongchang deliberately lowered his voice. "Bring all the research robots up here."
"Control them..."
Halfway through, he suddenly faltered.
How... how should they be controlled to make these research robots act like a silicon-based civilization?
Thinking fast, Lü Yongchang said, "Base their behavioral patterns on humans. Have them communicate through a mixture of sound and microcurrents."
"From now on, we're the Enrojet Civilization, a hybrid civilization where carbon-based and silicon-based life coexist."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood, Professor." As the electronic synthesized voice rang out, the doors to the Command Center quietly opened, and research robots filed in, marching in orderly formation.
The research robots then moved to the control consoles, imitating human habits and making a
