Chapter 466: A Gap of 100,000 Years

"I'm dying of food..." Sister You said in her mind.

Mo Qiong smiled and said, "You have to leave some hope for them. After all, because of the huge gap in technology, it would be very abrupt for you to stay and discuss some transactions."

Sister You certainly understood that this was what they had discussed early on, so that the Earth's specialties could attract the attention of aliens.

Otherwise, the entire Earth civilization would be worthless, and that would really kill the conversation.

Between art and food, they finally chose food. After all, it would be a miracle if aliens could appreciate art. The generation gap in art must be greater than that in technology.

Food is different. After all, aliens have Earthling substitutes. It is normal for aliens to feel happy when they taste Earthling food with Earthling bodies.

"You can relax a little and let them take the initiative to propose a transaction." Mo Qiong said.

"I know what to do." Sister You smiled.

In the afternoon, I drank some tea and talked and laughed with representatives from various countries.

Wu Chang suggested to visit the Earth, the world's largest industrial park, the Antarctic artificial ecological zone, the underwater city, the tallest building in history, all of which have become wonders of the new century with the progress of the times.

However, Sister You refused without hesitation.

"I am not interested in visiting those building blocks. Your technology is only at the nano level."

Wu Chang's eyes lit up. As expected, these modern prides are worthless in the eyes of aliens.

Wouldn't they know this? They just took advantage of the aliens' happiness and led the topic to technology.

"Your civilization's technology must be very great. May I ask what level of technology you have reached?" The Chinese representative took the opportunity to ask.

Sister You tilted her head and glanced at the other party.

The Chinese representative hurriedly said: "Please don't misunderstand, this is just a primitive civilization's yearning and curiosity for the prosperity of developed civilizations."

Sister You smiled and said: "Curiosity is not wrong, curiosity is a necessity for wisdom. Without the source of power, no matter how high the wisdom is, it is useless."

"But our generation gap is too big, I can only briefly describe my civilization."

The representatives said: "I would like to hear the details."

Sister You said: "Our civilization history is 100,000 years older than yours. And 100,000 years ago, we broke out of our home planet, but at that time, we started a civil war that swept the entire tribe and almost destroyed ourselves."

The representatives were stunned, and so were they! But the war ended quickly.

"Because of the war, we tried harder to rush to space, and finally, after thousands of years, our race spread throughout the star system. We thought there would be no more wars, and even if there were, we would not be destroyed since we already had more than a dozen planets."

"But, in that war, we almost destroyed the entire star system, and many planets turned into dust."

"Finally, it took thousands of years to get out of the star system from a satellite colony. In order to stop destroying ourselves because of increasingly powerful weapons, we can only keep opening up more and larger living spaces. Civilization has finally developed to the point where any citizen can explore the stars and occupy them. Until 10,000 years ago, our race, like a virus, quickly spread throughout the galaxy."

Everyone was shocked and said, "You spread throughout the Milky Way?"

"No, it's the one nearby that's 2.5 million light years away from you. As for the Milky Way, it took our family dozens of generations to get here." Sister You said.

Many representatives and the advisory group behind them were stunned and frightened in an instant.

Andromeda Galaxy! With a diameter of 220,000 light years, it was occupied by a race.

"Didn't you encounter enemies?" The representatives asked in surprise.

Sister You said, "Yes, but they are all behind us. Some have been destroyed, and some are still continuing. In fact, life is rare, civilization is even rarer, and our biggest enemy is ourselves. There was a time when family conflicts in the Andromeda Nebula would trigger a war that swept tens of thousands of star systems. Fortunately, no matter how we fight, the entire galaxy belongs to our race."

As she described, the representatives understood the situation of that civilization a little.

The universe is so vast, and a race has no opponents of the same level. After destroying some civilizations that can barely be considered enemies, it has entered an era where individuals can freely enclose land.

The number of star systems in the Andromeda Nebula is more than the population of the Black Ball Civilization. Because of frequent civil wars, many people have expanded outward in the form of families, families, or even individuals, away from the main body of civilization.

Now, one person can enclose a large area of ​​ownerless star systems.

It's like not putting eggs in one basket. Even if the weapons are developed to the point of destroying the world, they will never destroy their entire race. Life has spread like a virus to the point where it is almost impossible to exterminate.

Now, it has spread to the Milky Way.

"Just one hundred thousand years ago, we entered the space. Is the gap so big?" The advisory group was somewhat desperate, even unwilling.

One is a civilization with more than one trillion star systems, and the other has only one planet. Although it has explored the moon and Mars, it has not yet carried out immigration.

There is only a difference of 100,000 years between them, and this gap allows the other party to drive spacecraft and probes to "encircle the vast interstellar space", while they are still living on the earth and looking up at the stars.

What is 100,000 years? Even if it is aliens, they were just ignorant tribes like the Stone Age on Earth 100,000 years ago.

It can be said that at a certain time in the past, the two civilizations were at the same stage and were both primitive.

After all, the ancient apes existed millions of years ago, the Homo erectus existed two million years ago, and the early Homo sapiens appeared 200,000 years ago.

In such a long period of time, 100,000 years is nothing at all. There is even a slight possibility that at a certain stage, the earthlings are ahead of each other.

Theoretically, in millions of years, if the earthlings move a step faster, the butterfly effect may enter space 100,000 years earlier.

However, it is just this one step slower that makes the two civilizations like heaven and earth now.

One is almost unrivaled in the empty galaxy, and the other has to face the cruel reality of existing in the territory of alien races.

"So far, the most advanced indigenous civilization in the Milky Way is you. Theoretically, if you don't destroy yourselves in another 100,000 years, you should also be all over the Milky Way." Sister You smiled.

If it weren't for the top elites of mankind, hearing this, I'm afraid their mentality would collapse.

"The situation described by the aliens is actually what we once guessed, that is, we are the first batch of civilizations, and the universe is also very empty."

"But..."

The advisory group couldn't continue, it was too cruel, they were also the first batch, but they were kept in captivity.

Does humanity really have a future?

"It's just that we have to endure more setbacks. As long as we are alive, we must move forward." The Chinese astronomer smiled.

In the advisory group, many experts looked at the elderly astronomer. It was he who led the lunar factory plan.

At the same time, everyone thought of the country behind the other side, which miraculously surpassed the world in more than a hundred years.

Twice single-handedly challenged the whole world, once established a country, and once revived.

If all of them only knew to ask themselves if there was still a future, then there was really no future.

It was because one generation did the work of two generations and suffered the hardships of three generations that they grasped the future and completed the great plan.

Even if they fell behind by 100,000 years, would humans give up?
