" Academician Xiao, what is this?"
"He was just having a sweet dream; I gave him a fast-forwarded movie of a million years."
" Academician Xiao, when did you learn this? Isn't this memory implantation?" Wen Zhonghua asked curiously.
" Chief of Staff Wen, how about it? Would you like me to give you a wonderful memory?"
"No, no, you should rest. I can remember things on my own, so please don't trouble yourself. Academician Xiao, you didn't touch my head, did you?" As Wen Zhonghua spoke, he unconsciously touched his head, and the people around him looked at Academician Xiao with strange eyes.
"Haha, why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a monster."
"Alright, alright, you're all mentally sound. Stop staring at Academician Xiao like that. If you really want to discuss it, you can talk to Academician Xiao privately."
"Haha, this old man is quite busy, everyone should hurry up!"
" Academician Xiao, you should continue with your work."
"Yes, yes, it's best to see each other less often in the future."
" Academician Xiao, I will definitely remember to lock the door when I go to sleep," Academician Liu joked.
"Don't worry, everyone. Memory implantation is only temporary. This kind of memory won't be imprinted in the brain's circuitry, and it's extremely damaging to the brain. It would destroy your brain after just a few times. Even if you wanted to use it, I wouldn't let you. In recent years, besides researching consciousness, I've also been researching memory. But even if memories could be implanted, I believe everyone still hopes to acquire knowledge through their own efforts, right?"
" Academician Xiao, what should we do next?"
"I was just testing the difference between their brains and those of Earth's biological brains. The experiment was entirely feasible. Now I'm thinking of a suitable scenario to implant something into the brain of this 'Far Watcher Civilization ' and then induce it to say what we want."
"Then we'll have to trouble you, Academician. We shouldn't stay here too long. Are you confident in your abilities?"
"Of course, everyone can help me think of a scenario where this could be spoken."
On the third day, Academician Xiao conducted the experiment again, and sure enough, this time he managed to extract all the information that the guy knew. However, the guy's access was very limited, and what he knew was very limited. Moreover, the civilization's leader did not give them all the knowledge reserves, so they did not have the ability to develop independently. Perhaps the leader of the Far Watcher Civilization was also afraid that they would split off.
Furthermore, this information is from 2 million years ago, and its relevance today is debatable; it can only be used as a reference. The only useful information might be the planet where the Tree People were imprisoned. The Far Watcher Civilization specially modified a planet to imprison the Tree People, and all the Tree People were imprisoned on this planet and strictly monitored. Even after two million years, there should not be any major changes.
"Academician, what should we do with this brain? Should we take it with us?"
"Yes, take it with you. This technology that perfectly links the brain and the machine is indeed very advanced. They can actually use their brains to directly control computers, turning computers into part of their brains and achieving precise integration. It's just a pity that they have to make this connection deep inside the brain."
"Academicians, they could simply create a connection port in their brains and plug it in whenever they want to access computing power. There's really no need to abandon their bodies. Do they find their bodies troublesome?"
"No, they must have a reason for doing this. I suspect that this connection is one-time use; if it's broken, it can't be re-established, or re-establishing it would be too troublesome. So, they have no choice but to abandon the body. I'll design a scenario to ask them about it later."
Years later, the group returned to JD6 and encountered dozens of massive planets. The Treant Civilization had reached the interior of the planetary system through the Space Barrier defense perimeter and settled down on its own.
"General, is this the ally you speak of?" the Tree Race chief asked at the Star Ring Alliance summit.
"Yes." Hu Yu nodded. Hu Yu hadn't introduced the alliance members in detail before, and the Tree Race assumed that their allies were at least at the level of Human Civilization.
"Five Star-Level and one Mid Star System-Level, that's way too weak."
"Chief of the Tree Race, please don't underestimate them. They are the most outstanding civilization. Given some time, I believe their achievements will be in no way inferior to any other civilization in this universe."
"Indeed, in the 20 years since our Brilliant Star Civilization joined the alliance, with the general's help, our development speed has more than doubled."
"Our Zhalong Star Civilization has improved by at least two times."
"..."
"... at least twice as much."
"With the help of humanity, our Quaking Star Civilization has accelerated its development at least threefold. We are confident that we will break through to Star System-Level Civilization within three hundred years and will absolutely not hold the Alliance back. Tree Race Chief, our new civilizations have only been developing normally for a few thousand years. If we had enough time, we would have already surpassed your Tree Race."
"Indeed, surpassing your Treant Civilization is a piece of cake. Our Zhalong Star Civilization is confident that we will surpass you within 5000 years."
" Tree Race Chief, if we want to save your people, they might actually be able to help. Even if we find a way to rescue the Tree Race Clan, it might take tens of thousands of years to accumulate strength. No one can predict how they will develop by then, but the fact that they were able to escape from the Insect Zone is enough to prove their potential."
"Your Excellencies, I underestimated you. From now on, we are all members of the alliance, and we should work together sincerely. Our Tree Race's development has been slow, and we will have to rely on you all in the future. I take back my previous words and apologize to you."
"Chieftain of the Tree Race, there's no need for that. We are all General's friends, we are one family. Besides, you are right, our current strength is indeed very weak, that's a fact."
"Gentlemen, many members of the Tree Race are still enslaved. I have decided to rescue them. As long as they are my human friends, we will definitely help them with this. We will do the same for everyone if you encounter difficulties in the future. This time, the enemy is exceptionally powerful. I hope everyone can develop quickly and help our Treefolk friends."
"General, rest assured, as long as you don't mind, our Brilliant Star Civilization will do its utmost."
"Me too!"
"Alright, everyone, break through to the Star System-Level Civilization as soon as possible, lay a solid foundation, and find a development path that suits you. At that time, I will have the Academy of Sciences release some technologies suitable for you. Initially, you didn't want technology because you didn't want to lose your self-respect, and we also needed to assess your abilities, so we didn't provide you with much technological support. But now, everything is based on improving the alliance's strength as the highest principle. As long as the foundation is solid, absorbing the technology of other civilizations will not be a problem. Also, we have copied several warships from the Far Watcher Civilization. Each of your civilizations can take one. How much technology you can analyze is up to you. These are warships from Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization."
"Thank you, General."
The coordinates of the Far Watcher Civilization have been determined, but infiltration is impossible. Humanity knows nothing about the strength within their territory, nor whether the Far Watcher Civilization has broken through to the Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization in the past two million years. If they have already broken through to the Advanced Stage of Small Star Sector Civilization, then no matter how many Grim Slayer there are, it will be useless. With humanity's current strength, it is impossible to build hundreds of billions of warships, after all, the population has just exceeded 60 billion.
This seems like an impossible task, and no one knows what good plan Academician Li has in mind. He hasn't revealed it yet, and has been assisting academicians from other branches in analyzing the warships of the Far Watcher Civilization.
