Chapter 102 Cooperation

The words of the female follower restored the confidence of the researchers, whose morale had been low.

Yes, the gene medicine they researched was indeed less effective than that of the Triangular Pyramid, but how long had they been in this field?

The total time since the appearance of the first Evolver had not exceeded a year!

Even if the entire history of human civilization's research on gene medicine was added together, the total time was less than a century!

But the history of the ancient civilization was unknown for how long; their accumulated time for research on gene medicine might be longer than the existence of human civilization. This was the accumulation of countless generations of predecessors, the foundation of their race.

These researchers had not lost to the followers, but the foundation of human civilization had lost to the foundation of the ancient civilization!

This was an immutable natural factor, and had nothing to do with "wisdom" or "ability."

"To be honest, after learning about your history, less than one Dizhi orbital period ago, your civilization had no achievements in the field of unlocking biological gene locks..." the female follower said again. Although she used the language of humans, she still used the standards of her own race in certain terms.

For example, they called "one year" "one Dizhi orbital period."

They called "evolution" "unlocking the gene lock in the body."

The ancient civilization believed that the power of evolution did not come from external objects, but from the power inherent in the cells and genes themselves, which had always been sealed by the gene lock. The "evolution" process was the process of unlocking the gene lock in the body.

One evolution was unlocking one gene lock, and so on.

As for the four different paths of evolution...

The ancient civilization believed that those were the four gene lock arrangements inherent in the organism, but usually only one of them could be opened. They had also tried to open two gene locks at the same time, but the result was that after the second one was opened, the first one would close.

Once, a biological laboratory in the Triangular Pyramid successfully created a creature that opened two gene locks at the same time, but the experimental subject only survived for thirty seconds before exploding and dying. The violent conflict after the release of the two gene locks was unbearable even for the powerful physique of an Evolver.

After that experiment, the ancient civilization also came to a conclusion: it was impossible for two or more gene locks to coexist in a living organism at the same time.

"One Dizhi orbital period ago, your research on gene locks was still a blank slate... But within seven days of the appearance of the first organism to unlock a gene lock, you replicated the medicine to unlock the gene lock and successfully unlocked the gene lock of the experimental subject," the female follower said to Bai Jingyan calmly, "In this regard, you have even surpassed us in the past!"

Bai Jingyan knew that the other party was talking about how he had used Xiao Hei's genes to successfully complete his first evolution.

At that time, his pursuit of completing evolution was extremely fanatical, and he had to risk trying evolution after being attacked by Li Tianran. Although there were elements of luck and gambling involved, there was no doubt that Bai Jingyan was the first human to successfully replicate evolution!

Less than half a month after the arrival of the first Cataclysm and the appearance of the first mutated creature, he completed the manufacture of gene medicine with his superb biotechnology!

However, because the situation at the time was too severe, Bai Jingyan did not publicly announce this, and no more than ten people knew about it. It was considered his secret, but such a secret had no confidentiality at all for these powerful Second Order Evolvers.

Just as Han Han had said before, if a Second Order Evolver wanted to read the mind of a First Order Evolver, it was as simple as opening a book, and the book would not even notice it!

Around these Second Order evolved creatures, ordinary First Order evolved creatures had no secrets.

"Our race took thirteen Dizhi orbital periods to create the first replicated gene-lock unlocking agent..." the female follower said again, as if recalling something, "As for the other races, it took even longer. The longest was the race of the Sky Apostles, which took a total of seventeen Dizhi orbital periods."

"So the Sky Citadel is the worst in biological research technology... and the members of this race are the weakest!"

The female follower spoke again, her eyes falling on Bai Jingyan: "And the time your race took is much less than any of our races..."

"If you can survive the siege of the other races in the future, perhaps you can really lead Blue Star to break through the restrictions of a Tier 1 civilization."

The female follower's eyes were complex.

What was a Tier 1 civilization?

From an academic point of view, a Tier 1 civilization meant that it could completely control the energy of its entire home planet and utilize all the available resources on the planet. Taking Blue Star as an example, only when it could control rivers, weather, land, creatures, and oceans at will, and even master the rise and fall of substances inside Blue Star's crust, could it be considered as reaching Tier 1 civilization.

You can control the time of volcanic eruptions at will, control the amount of magma it spews, control the energy it releases, and make it stop whenever you want!

You can control the direction of ocean hurricanes at will, control their range, control their intensity, and make them blow wherever you want!

You can even control the continental plates, move them, and change their position on Blue Star like ships at will. You can control earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning and thunder. You can control everything on Blue Star. This planet will no longer have any secrets for you, no place you can't enter, and no power you can't use!

In short, you are the god of this planet.

There has never been only one way to break through the limitations of a Tier 1 civilization. Over the years, countless civilizations have made great efforts to reach this level. Among these civilizations, some developed technology, while others focused on developing the gene locks within organisms, wanting to expand their bodies to the level of those terrifying interstellar battleships.

But without exception, they all failed and disappeared into the long river of history.

The only surviving Apostle civilization combined both biotechnology and technological pioneers, but over the long years, they still failed to accomplish the feats that their predecessors had failed to accomplish, and failed to become gods on Blue Star.

They still needed to struggle to survive on this planet by using methods, and cope with the consumption of resources and the arrival of the Great Destruction by hibernating.

In ancient civilizations, many creatures speculated that perhaps only after reaching a Tier 1 civilization could they completely get rid of the negative effects brought about by the Great Destruction. Only then could they get rid of frequent hibernation, like mice hiding under the earth, avoiding the ravages of the Great Destruction!

It could be said that becoming a Tier 1 civilization was the lifelong pursuit of all ancient civilization creatures, including the Triangular Pyramid.

Powerful as they were, they didn't dare to say that they could break through this limitation, but at this moment, this female follower actually told Bai Jingyan that humans... might actually become the first Tier 1 civilization on Blue Star in the future!

Receiving such praise, even someone as calm as Bai Jingyan couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.

But soon, Bai Jingyan quickly calmed down again.

Although breaking through the limitations of a Tier 1 civilization sounded very fulfilling, it had to be based on two prerequisites...

The first was to win the war with the ancient civilization.

The second was to withstand the "Great Destruction" that made the ancient civilization tremble with fear.

These two prerequisites were both obstacles in front of Kuangxi Island, and each one was more terrifying and more difficult to deal with than the other.

There were less than ten days left before the technological weapons of the ancient civilization would be fully revived.

It could be foreseen that on the day when the other party's technological weapons were revived, the Apostles would definitely make a comeback and create even more terrifying wars.

The power of human civilization was advancing by leaps and bounds under the leadership of Kuangxi Island, and the ancient civilization would definitely seize all the time to launch this war before human civilization reached the same level as them.

Once the war started, all fields of human civilization would be affected.

Even biological research would be no exception.

If Kuangxi Island lost in this war, then not to mention stepping into a Tier 1 civilization in the future, even humans would be completely annihilated in the long river of history.

Thinking of this terrible future, Bai Jingyan was silent for a long time. He finally raised his head to look at the female follower and asked softly, "I have a question."

"Can human civilization and the Triangular Pyramid completely reach a cooperative relationship? Working together to advance towards a Tier 1 civilization and create a new history on Blue Star?"
