Despite the efforts of 40 billion people, the energy spheres were eventually sealed and concentrated, forming two enormous planetary spheres more than twice the diameter of Earth. These two spheres were protected by steel armor. Although the large spheres composed of energy spheres were huge and contained many energy spheres, their mass was negligible.
The two giant energy spheres have been transported by the Wind Master to the vicinity of a planet near the vortex. To create a more realistic effect, the giant energy spheres have been hidden on another unfamiliar planet hundreds of light-years away from the androids' activity range. Hu Yu believes that as long as the Xuan Star Civilization defeats the Wind Master fleet, they will definitely find these two super energy spheres.
After 1,000 years of initial production and 2,500 years of subsequent production, with a 200-year hiatus in production to convert equipment, the number of Grim Slayer has now reached 300 million. Not all Grim Slayer went with the vortex; instead, 50 million were left on Earth Two and Earth Four for guard duty, while the remaining 250 million Grim Slayer remained in the void 5,000 light-years away from the vortex. Given the Grim Slayer' travel speed of 3,500 times the speed of light, it's not too late to go when the plan is nearly complete.
Earth Two and Earth Four have now returned to the Nebula Region. Since the seven Main Consciousness were subdued, the area has become peaceful. Of course, this is only on the surface. There are still hundreds of millions of Branch Consciousness Entity here. However, humans are no longer the same as before. Even if the Main Consciousness are reborn, an energy ball can solve the problem, let alone the Branch Consciousness Entity. They don't even dare to approach and directly avoid the fleet from a distance.
Moreover, humanity has lost interest in Branch Consciousness Entity. Thanks to Academician Xiao's work in his spare time, more than two thousand organisms have been created in the fleet to house Branch Consciousness Entity. The rest are still locked up, and they do not resist or make any demands, just like ordinary clouds.
" Number One, this is your home. I've already spoken with the general; you can leave at any time. We'll provide you with some technology and spaceships. You can develop on your own, whether you want to stay in the Nebula Region or go outside."
"Academician, we don't want to leave. We've considered ourselves human beings for so many years, and we don't want to leave you."
" Number One, you will never have a peaceful life following humans; we are destined to wander and roam."
"Academician."
"No need for further words, let's part ways here. You need to work hard on your own. I will tell you about the technology for creating biological entities. There are 20 million Branch Consciousness Entity in this fleet, and more than 100 million in the Nebula Region. If you take them with you, you'll have some of your kind. Release them all, and as long as you're careful, you can still travel the Milky Way."
"Academician, do you really have to send us away?"
" Number One, it's not that I want to drive you away, it's for your own good. If you stay with humans, you'll never have your own civilization. Among humans, you won't have the opportunity to develop technology or create your own culture. Everything will depend on humans, which won't benefit you at all. Perhaps you'll find it very difficult to adapt in the short term, but you'll understand in the future."
"Academician, we can't bear to leave you!"
"Alas, I know, children. It's been thousands of years, and I can't bear to part with you. Take advantage of this time to find a place to settle down in the Nebula Region and try to develop technology. Although only a little over two thousand of you have achieved liberation so far, little by little, I believe you will achieve it one day. Moreover, we will not leave here for a while. If you have any questions, you can still come and ask at any time. I will also apply to the general to send some scientists to assist you."
" Academician Zeng is right." Hu Yu walked in. "Although we were adversaries at first, we are friends now. In terms of technology, I will provide you with advanced Star-Level technology, enough for you to study for a very long time. As for Star System Level technology, I will give you some spaceships. You can analyze from these spaceships. How much you can analyze depends on your comprehension."
"Thank you, General!"
" Academician Zeng, don't they have any way to reproduce?"
"No, they have no gender distinction. They used to obtain Branch Consciousness Entity by splitting their Main Consciousness. Now that they have been liberated, their consciousness is fixed to their bodies and can no longer split. However, it's not entirely impossible. They can use cloning to obtain members of their race. Although clones have the same body, their consciousnesses are different."
"Can they be cloned in this situation?"
"Of course, they are ordinary life forms now. Except for their inability to reproduce, they are no different from ordinary life forms, so cloning is not a problem."
"Alright, Number One, from now on you will use cloning to acquire your people. It's more convenient and faster, and you can expand your population countless times in a short time. I believe you can become a completely new civilization."
"General, please give us a name."
"Okay, you will develop on your own in the future, and you really need a name. Let's do this. You and No. 0 will all have the same surname as Xiao. As for what your name is, well, I wish you prosperity, peace and smooth sailing. You can choose the seven words: prosperity, prosperity, prosperity, prosperity, peace, security and smoothness."
"Thank you, General. From now on, my name will be Xiao Fan!"
My name is Xiao Rong!
"..."
"..."
"My name is Xiao Shun. We finally have names."
"Work hard from now on. We still have 100,000 Wind Master here. You can take them away. We'll give you ten transport ships and two sets of various machines and equipment. For now, find a planet near this Nebula Region to settle down, gather your Branch Consciousness Entity, and help them achieve liberation. We'll be staying here for a long time. If you need anything or have any problems during this period, you can come to me anytime. After we leave, you'll have to rely on yourselves. So, the task for you 2,000-plus people during this time is very heavy."
"This place belongs to the Aquila Nebula. From now on, you shall be called the Aquila Civilization. The seven of you are the core of the Aquila Civilization. I hope you can survive in this universe. When you become powerful, we will have many more opportunities to meet. However, I must also tell you, grow strong as soon as possible. This Milky Way, or rather this universe, is not peaceful. We all don't have much time left."
"General, we will definitely do our best."
"Go."
Goodbye, General; goodbye, Academician.
"Don't act so sentimental like a human. Besides, we'll be seeing each other quite often during this time."
Several Main Consciousness reluctantly departed. Influenced by the Little Crab in their brains, they had an unusual affection for humans. Now they were developing independently. Although Academician Xiao was somewhat reluctant, this was indeed the best arrangement for them. With this relationship, humans might need their help in the future. Although the Nebula Main Consciousness were ordinary life forms after completing their liberation, they still had special characteristics. For example, their Consciousness Field remained strong, and their development was likely to go to two extremes: either they would not be able to develop at all, or they would develop to a very high level.
