Super Dimension Technology Era

Bureau of Civilization and Biological Survey, interior of the Andromeda Survey Group office.

A sudden news caused team leader Huang Feiteng to hurriedly summon a group of team members. As the closest galaxy to the Milky Way, the situation of the Andromeda Galaxy has always been a focus of attention.

The strength of their Andromeda investigation team is also extraordinary. Not only has it set up a special investigation center within Andromeda, it also has 50 automatic reconnaissance spacecraft.

Under emergency orders, more than a dozen team members had to give up their Spring Festival vacation and quickly return to work.

A young man with a ponytail asked while changing his clothes: "Boss, what happened?"

Huang Feiteng did not speak, but shared an investigation briefing with everyone in the office, and then explained helplessly:

"A thorn-headed civilization that doesn't know the heights of the sky has done something on the cantilever of Andromeda."

The maverick pony-tailed young man flipped through the documents and discovered that this prickly-headed civilization had done something big.

The name of this civilization in the official database of New Humanity is "Yatandi Civilization". Yatandi is a transliteration, which means mechanical glory.

This is a civilization developed by silicon-based organisms. This civilization is located at the junction of the Andromeda cantilever region and the core region. The density of the star system is 5 to 7 times higher than this side of the solar system.

Perhaps due to the characteristics of silicon-based organisms, they can easily develop to advanced levels of primary civilization, possessing spaceships that can reach speeds as high as about 28% of the speed of light.

If it were in a star field like the solar system, the Artandi civilization would probably be very uncomfortable. After all, the star systems around the solar system are only a few light years away.

But around the home galaxy of the Artandi civilization, other star systems are very close to the Artandi galaxy, and the distance between them is usually between 0.5 and 3 light years.

This distance between galaxies, coupled with the fact that silicon-based organisms are more adaptable to the survival of the universe, gives them the conditions for crazy expansion.

Since the Artandi civilization was promoted to primary civilization, in less than 377 Blue Star years, they have successfully occupied 53 surrounding star systems.

This time, the Artandi civilization attracted attention mainly because a cosmic war broke out between the other party and another primary civilization. The Artandi civilization directly destroyed the other party's only three star systems.

With this kind of aggressive and potential primary civilization, the new humans do not want this unstable factor to continue to exist in the Andromeda Galaxy.

When Huang Feiteng saw the team members in place, he immediately ordered: "Now start to assess the threat level of the Artandi civilization."

"OK."

"no problem."

The team members have retrieved all the information on the Artandi civilization and conducted a comprehensive assessment and analysis.

Silicon-based civilization will develop very quickly in the primary civilization stage. For example, the Winged Civilization, which was previously destroyed by the new humans, developed faster than ordinary carbon-based civilizations because of the presence of half of the silicon-based gene sequence.

Of course, silicon-based civilization is not without its shortcomings, otherwise the universe would have been dominated by silicon-based organisms. In fact, it may be much more difficult for silicon-based civilization to advance to an intermediate civilization than carbon-based civilization.

The reason for this reasoning is that the silicon-based gene sequence is highly stable. Although the Artandi civilization swept dozens of star systems, in fact, their real population was less than 10 billion.

Silicon-based organisms have a long life, usually starting at a few thousand years. For example, the magnetic field trees of the Winged Man civilization have an average lifespan of several million years.

Being able to survive for so long is a good thing on the one hand, but it is very difficult for them to reproduce offspring. What is even more troublesome is that because the genetic sequence is highly stable, their offspring will evolve very slowly.

Perhaps tens of millions of years of mutation and evolution are not as good as the thousands of years of evolution of carbon-based organisms.

In addition, please note that the population mentioned here does not refer to industrialized cannon fodder such as combat robots, but to silicon-based people with independent personality and intelligence.

This situation not only leads to insufficient population of silicon-based civilization, but also brings about another more difficult problem, the growth of racial intelligence is very slow.

In other words, silicon-based civilization will develop very quickly in the early stage, but will easily encounter a development ceiling in the middle and later stages.

This ceiling may block these silicon-based civilizations, and the Artandi civilization has already had this obvious trend. Their technology has reached the advanced level of primary civilization in just a few hundred years, but in recent decades, Keep running in circles.

For a civilization, if this situation is not handled properly and other civilizations are not used to eliminate it, they themselves will seek death.

Especially in the universe, the reaper civilization is high up overlooking the sea of ​​​​stars; the intermediate civilization is dormant in secret, ready to be promoted at any time.

In various river systems, high-level civilizations and intermediate-level civilizations are almost legends about the dragon's beginning but not its end. Some low-level civilizations have stagnated technological development for a long time, and it is easy to create an illusion.

That is to feel that the technological level of our own civilization is the technological pinnacle of the entire universe, and there is a feeling of being alone and seeking defeat.

It’s just that this illusion is often fatal. Once an intermediate civilization or advanced civilization is provoked, the primary civilization cannot even resist.

Moreover, blind arrogance will not only lead to the stagnation of civilization development, but also easily corrode the enterprising spirit of development, and may even cause the regression of civilization.

The effect of social entropy tells us that when the fish and resources in the pond reach their limit, they will either go back or break through the dam, and there is no other way.

…

As the data of the Artandi civilization is focused on, the fate of this civilization is now in the hands of Huang Feiteng and others.

This is civilization-level suppression. One word can determine the rise or fall of a primary civilization. Just like when the winged civilization came into contact with the taboo power of "man-made black holes", the new humans did not hesitate to choose to destroy each other.

If Huang Feiteng and others determine that the Artandi civilization is a threat and needs to be eradicated, the war committee will definitely take action without hesitation.

Huang Feiteng put down the document and asked, "How is your research going?"

The pony-tailed young man was the first to stand up and express his opinion: "This civilization has reached the end of its development. It will be difficult to advance if there are no accidents, and there are signs of division within them."

"What are other people's opinions?" Huang Feiteng continued to ask.

"Judging from their large particle collider experiments, the energy level of the Artandi civilization's laser is stuck near 577 TeV. This energy level is still far away from artificial black holes. The possibility of suddenly advancing to the intermediate level is less than one in ten million. .”

"In terms of materials science, they are quite unique. We can learn from silicon-based energy metal materials."

"The overall assessed threat level is around 2.6!"

Huang Feiteng listened and recorded everyone's opinions. The threat level of the Artandi civilization was indeed only about 2.6, which was in the middle of the low-level level.

The development potential is only 3.8, which is at most the peak stage of primary civilization.

The two evaluation parameters combined eliminate the need for destruction.

You must know that the threat level of Yiren civilization was as high as 3.7 at that time, and its development potential was around 5.6. Once the evaluation parameter enters 4, it is a sign of an intermediate civilization.

Huang Feiteng read everyone's opinions and finally concluded:

"Everyone has similar assessments. In this case, the treatment of the Artandi civilization has been determined to be a key observation, and eradication will not be carried out for the time being."

"agree."

"So be it!"

The Artandi civilization in Andromeda didn't know that it had just experienced a life-or-death turn of fate.
