Human Civilization transformed Kepler-452b, awakened its cryosleep survivors, and brought the Eugene Civilization into the Pan-Human Federation. Lü Yongchang then pursued Thought Imprint research on the [Nus Civilization], while its intent network revealed a new architecture that could aid human quantum computing.

• Aldan and Milo met Human Civilization aboard the Titan Mothership, learned that the Talodan homeworld was likely lost, and joined the Pan-Human Federation as Lü Yongchang offered support and credit.
• Lü Yongchang directed research into the High-Energy Neutron Storm and Matter Disintegration Ray, then used the neutron weapon to clear HIP22580f for the [Nus Civilization].
• After the Lost Giant Tree seeds failed to grow, Tao Yuda proposed intensifying the system’s star, and Lü Yongchang backed the plan and oversaw the first Star Core Reaction Interference Device.
• Lü Yongchang attended Kepler-452b’s transformation ceremony and began awakening cryosleep survivors, while the [Nus Civilization] relocated to HIP22580f after Zero triggered a gamma-ray burst.
• The Eugene Fleet encountered Human Civilization’s probes and warships, then surrendered after Fan Ping offered federation membership and the Eugene Emperor learned Human forces could easily destroy his ships.
• The Humans discovered that their captive was the Eugene Emperor and found records of the Eugene subfleets, then admitted the Eugene Civilization to the Federation after a review.
• Lü Yongchang considered using Thought Imprint to alter the Eugene people’s beliefs and ordered Mao Zhengzhi to develop the technology, testing emotional inputs across the [Nus Civilization].
• Lü Yongchang identified the [Nus Civilization]’s intent network as a biological quantum brain and sent its data to Mo Zeyang, who recognized its architecture as a possible solution to his research problem.

Human Civilization mastered Thought Imprint and developed weapons that could destroy shielded warships, then expanded across hundreds of light-years. After a suspected warp strike led them to the Enrojet Alliance, the Human Fleet advanced into its defenses and began an attack that the alliance’s weapons could not stop.

• Mo Zeyang tested the Nus Civilization’s intent-network architecture, found it could boost Optical Quantum Computer power by at least 50%, and ordered a prototype built.
• Lü Yongchang’s team developed memory-transfer technology and, after a fabricated memory experiment nearly destabilized Nus, continued with a blank Intent Network Core and achieved successful transfers with animal subjects.
• Lu Siyuan and Lü Yongchang used Nus’s Intent Network to master Thought Imprint, then imprinted the Eugene population to work for Human Civilization and expand the Pan-Human Federation.
• Lü Yongchang and Wilson developed the Matter Disintegration Cannon and Gravity Shield Disruption Devices, which destroyed a Golden Crow battleship during a live-fire test.
• Yevgeny designed Curvature Missiles with micro black hole warheads, while Lü Yongchang proposed Gravity Bombs, after Human Civilization expanded to five hundred light-years, probes were destroyed in a suspected warp strike.
• Human probes intercepted Enrojet Alliance Curvature Missiles, and the Federation fleet overwhelmed Hume’s outpost after the alliance rejected its demand for an explanation.
• The Human Fleet approached the Enrojet Alliance’s defenses in the Long Snake Formation, and Bai Yixuan ordered it to ignore the alliance’s offer to negotiate and continue its attack.
• Zero controlled the Human Fleet’s Curvature Missiles as they evaded Enrojet interceptors, whose weapons failed to stop them.

The Human Expeditionary Fleet shattered Enrojet’s defenses and destroyed its remaining fleet, but the Alliance’s refitted flagship revealed a spatial-rift weapon capable of striking faster than light. Bai Yixuan withdrew the fleet and sacrificed Chiyou to delay the enemy, but the weapon pierced the planetary fortress.

• The Human Federation destroyed Enrojet’s first defense lines, survived an antimatter trap, and advanced on Dika and Kedale, where [Vermilion Bird] destroyed Dika.
• [Chiyou] arrived to cover the Human Fleet’s retreat from Kedale and annihilated the Enrojet fleet, while Enrojet completed its refitted flagship and tested its spatial-rift weapon on Noli Star.
• Bai Yixuan brought the fleet to Enrojet’s Central Stellar System, where a missile bombardment destroyed over three thousand warships before [Chiyou] arrived with supplies.
• The Enrojet flagship fired spatial rifts that destroyed missiles, and Lü Yongchang identified the weapon as a rupture in space.
• Bai Yixuan learned that Enrojet could fire its spatial weapon while traveling through curvature space, while Zhao Zijie calculated its range at about 750 to 800 light-minutes.
• Bai Yixuan evacuated [Chiyou]’s personnel and supplies, withdrew the fleet, and left the planetary fortress to delay the Enrojet fleet.
• [Chiyou] attacked the approaching Enrojet fleet, but a spatial rift pierced it through the equator, overwhelmed its shields, and destroyed it.

Humanity defeated the Enroget Civilization, then followed a mysterious transmission to the Tenth Empire’s planetary fortress and discovered its surviving AI and silicon-based descendants. After repairing the fortress’s failing device, Humanity passed an unexpected assessment and received an invitation to join the Silicon-Based Alliance, while Lü Yongchang worried their disguise might be exposed.

• Bai Yixuan and Zhao Zijie used dispersed warship groups to disrupt the Enrojet Alliance, while Lü Yongchang developed a resonance that prevented enemy ships from entering curvature.
• Humanity overwhelmed the Enrojet fleet, captured its flagship, and infiltrated its Central Computer, halting a secret transmission before it could be sent.
• After the Enrojet Alliance surrendered, Lü Yongchang traced the secret to enormous ruins near a neutron star and led the expedition there.
• The expedition entered the ruins, solved the gate’s assessments, and met [Ten], the central control AI of the Tenth Empire’s homeworld fortress.
• [Ten] revealed that the Tenth Empire had left the Milky Way and that its fortress had sheltered an ice giant, where silicon-based descendants now lived and treated [Ten] as a god.
• When the fortress’s Matter-Energy Conversion Device began failing, Lü Yongchang agreed to repair it in exchange for spatial rift-cutting devices and supplied antimatter and components.
• Lü Yongchang stopped Zero from deliberately hacking [Ten], but an unknown data stream triggered a defensive exchange that [Ten] later explained was an assessment.
• [Ten] invited the disguised human civilization to join the Silicon-Based Alliance, leaving Lü Yongchang concerned that advanced civilizations might uncover their identity and learn about Zero.
