The Yun San Civilization also handed over the 100,000 low-level civilizations that the Star Ring Alliance was originally responsible for looking after to Hu Yu. In addition, there are now nearly 150,000 low-level civilizations in the Alliance's territory. If these low-level civilizations can all become Small Star Sector Civilization, the power of the Milky Way will indeed increase many times over.
However, the technological bottlenecks of these so-called Small Star Sector Civilization are tightly controlled by these real Small Star Sector Civilization. Among the low-level civilizations originally under the Alliance's care, there were more than a hundred Star System-Level Civilization, all of which had grown up through hard work after the insect plague. There are also quite a few Star System-Level Civilization in the Alliance's new territories, nearly 20, which have also made rapid progress after the insect plague.
Hu Yu had no intention of giving the technology arranged by the Yun San Civilization to these 150 Star System-Level Civilization. If they followed this technological path, they might have a chance of making a breakthrough, but it was more likely that they would not. Even if a Sichuan chef was given the recipe for Hunan cuisine, the dishes he cooked might not taste good. Moreover, these technologies all had various backdoors. In some places, there was no need to ask why; just do it. It was better to honestly and steadily research these incomplete technologies step by step.
Every civilization's path to technological development is fraught with difficulty, requiring countless hardships and sweat. These civilizations had finally reached the Star System Level stage, Hu Yu couldn't bear to ruin their future. Their technology was far more sophisticated than the technology that humanity provided to the other 20 civilizations. Humanity provided a complete technology tree, while the Yun San Civilization provided mostly war-related technologies, and even its long-distance communication technology relied on the actual Small Star Sector Civilization to manufacture and provide it.
Hu Yu felt that the Great Star Region Civilization's operation was somewhat hasty, but it was a good approach until a way to completely eliminate the Insect Race was found.
However, this would lead to numerous factions vying for power within the galaxy. If the Zerg swarm is completely eradicated in the future, the sheer number of advanced civilizations crammed into the galaxy would inevitably result in numerous conflicts. Although they are all controlled by the current Small Star Sector Civilization, this does not prevent them from waging war against each other. In fact, the current Small Star Sector Civilization may even use these controlled civilizations to engage in fierce battles, carving out their own territories and dominating one side.
Imagine if all 250,000 low-level civilizations under the Star Ring Alliance became Small Star Sector Civilization. Even if each civilization contributed only 100 million warships, that would still be a fleet of 25 trillion. What an enormous force that would be! If the civilizations that control these forces were to fight each other, the damage to the galaxy would be no less than, and perhaps even greater than, that of the Zerg swarm.
However, civilizations are controllable. Even if an uncontrollable situation arises, it would be far easier for the Great Star Region Civilization to eliminate these civilizations than to eliminate the Zerg swarm.
These cannon fodder civilizations are both fortunate and tragic, but there is no other way but to vigorously cultivate these low-level civilizations in order to strengthen the power of the river system civilization.
Hu Yu immediately convened a meeting with the leaders of the alliance and directly ordered the alliance's civilized beings to form more than 250,000 working groups. Each group was responsible for a low-level civilization. Many Planetary-Level Civilization had not yet unified their planets, and there were many forces on those planets. Some backward low-level civilizations were not even aware of the existence of other forces.
The working group directly selected the most powerful one for cultivation, teaching them to use technology, learn knowledge, or directly implanting knowledge into the brains of these civilized beings. This implantation would cause great damage to the brain, but it doesn't matter, the knowledge of the first generation will be passed on to the second and third generations through education. These backward first-generation beings will not leave a trace in history.
Only at a certain stage will the working group gradually improve their biological genes and extend their lifespan. Generally, by this time, they have already entered the Stellar-Level Civilization stage, making the work of the working group relatively easier for a civilization that is already at the Star-Level.
These Stellar-Level Civilization have witnessed the catastrophe in the galaxy and know the cruelty of the universe. However, their development has been slow due to the limited speed of technological research. Now, with the intervention of the working group, these civilizations will be able to directly advance to the Star System-Level Civilization in a short time. The technology provided by the Great Star Region Civilization is the simplest and most direct part. Rather than providing these civilizations with technology, it is more accurate to say that it helps these civilized beings improve their own qualities. Only when the civilized beings themselves improve their qualities can they build sophisticated and powerful fleets.
At a certain point, the working group will set various thresholds for these civilizations. However, without exception, these thresholds all relate to the number of living beings in the civilization. For example, if the number of living beings in a civilization reaches 10 billion, a technology that allows them to travel at 1,000 times the speed of light will be granted; if it reaches 20 billion, a technology that allows them to travel at 2,000 times the speed of light will be granted, and so on. Different civilizations have different thresholds because some living beings develop very quickly and can rapidly develop a huge population even without the intervention of the working group, while some civilizations find it very difficult to reach a population of 10 billion.
Not only the Star Ring Alliance, but the entire galaxy mobilized. Countless advanced spaceships traversed the airspace where galactic civilizations were concentrated. Some lower-level civilizations were on high alert, thinking another disaster had occurred. However, they quickly calmed down as the spaceships of advanced civilizations landed on their planets and immediately took various actions to help them unify, progress, and develop.
The Star Ring Alliance has grown increasingly large, Hu Yu is also working hard to build a fleet, preparing to go to the Insect Zone again to meet Li Shun. He can't rest easy until he gets rid of Li Shun, his mortal enemy, and Li Shun also has many secrets. Now the fleet is powerful enough; all that's lacking is quantity.
Hu Yu plans to go to the Insect Zone again once the fleet size has increased. The Great Star Region Civilization knows that Li Shun is ignoring it, which may be Mr. Daozi's influence. Although Li Shun is colluding with the Zerg, one must consider the owner before beating the dog. In addition, Li Shun has not caused any trouble, so the Great Star Region Civilization probably can't be bothered with him, or simply waits for Mr. Daozi or Hu Yu to deal with him.
Hu Yu knew that Li Shun was cunning and suspicious. This time, when he went to deal with Li Shun, he had to find out all of his strongholds. However, the fleet's photons had not yet reached the Insect Zone, and there were very few micro-ships in the Insect Zone. The ships sent out were often destroyed by the insects. There were some coordinate base stations in the Insect Zone, but it was far from enough.
Hu Yu hoped that this time they could not only destroy Li Shun's fleet, but also capture Li Shun alive. Although Li Shun's technology was far inferior to Hu Yu's, capturing him alive was much more difficult than killing him. Therefore, Hu Yu once again assigned this task, asking everyone to work together to find a way to capture Li Shun.
