Chapter 816: Return
Zhang Yuan suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Regarding the Alef Civilization's imminent takeover of the entire Milky Way, what do you think about it?"
"It actually doesn't have much to do with us."
This plant said, "Our Alliance is under the protection of the Amoeba Faction. If the Amoeba Alliance completely leaves the Milky Way, they should take us along too."
"Even if they don't leave, the Alef Civilization won't do anything to us... probably, haha, the fruits we produce are in high demand throughout the Milky Way."
"As for what will happen to other civilizations, we are not sure. After all, this new Governor comes from another galaxy, so we really don't know much about them."
"I see." Zhang Yuan sighed, not expecting to learn too much, but what he got was already quite good.
At this moment, the glass tube gradually emitted a bright white light, indicating that the preliminary preparations were complete.
Zhang Yuan quickly asked, "Can we start now?"
"Yes. For consciousness upload, you must use the AmiBa Alliance's standard signal reception system. Can I ask if you have completed the conversion steps in this regard? If there are any mistakes, we do not assume responsibility."
"No problem."
The so-called standard system is the conversion between digital signals. The superhuman scientists had mostly solved this issue over the past three days. In the past, it might have taken more than a year.
This sapling was not surprised by this. In his eyes, the counterpart was a Level 5 Civilization, and it wasn't unusual for them to accomplish such things quickly. This species had encountered many high-level civilizations in the past, and under the ancient knowledge inheritance, they remained calm and collected.
"Since everything is ready, let's begin!"
Zhang Yuan exchanged glances with his companions. This time, he would be the only human representative, using consciousness upload to return to the former Mother Star.
"Good luck!"
"Good luck to humanity too!"
His companions waved goodbye to him, and at the same time, Foreign Minister Yang Fan had already signed his name on the relevant agreements.
"Goodbye!"
After saying farewell to everyone, Zhang Yuan entered an electronic device. Once his mechanical brain connected to the relevant instruments, his self-awareness quickly transformed into a series of data.
[Here is the AmiBa Faction Commercial Alliance, having received a trade request from the Green Leaf Alliance... Order received.]
[Verifying identity, consciousness upload object is the 'Galactic Progress Alliance.']
[After querying the database, no information is found on this Alliance... Presumably a new Level 5 Civilization from the Milky Way...]
[Transaction continues... Reaching target location coordinates MHA1231KJ...]
[Data transmission ready, consciousness upload successful.]
This place is an Information Outpost near a cosmic string, with only a few robots working tirelessly, and no intelligent life to be found.
Whenever a civilization passes by this information station, they can use AmiBa Points to exchange for the information they desire or sell important information. The Amoeba Faction uses these information stations spread throughout the Milky Way to learn about all the events, big and small, occurring within it.
In the next second, Zhang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes in this information station, realizing he had taken on a new robotic body, just like the one the Green Leaf Alliance had initially presented.
"It seems the consciousness upload was successful."
"This robot... the Green Leaf Alliance wasn't lying."
Upon carefully surveying the surroundings, this information station was not large, roughly the size of a cruiser-class spaceship, with some artificial intelligence systems working in an orderly fashion.
The outpost's AI issued instructions to Zhang Yuan: [Honored guest, hello. Ahead is your leased spaceship. Please do not lose or dismantle it; any failures caused by human factors are the responsibility of your civilization.]
A small escort ship was docked at the foremost port, and according to the AI's instructions, he currently had the operating permissions for this small escort ship.
"This small escort ship can reach 10 times the speed of light... Have I already arrived near the former Solar System?" Zhang Yuan gazed at the starry sky, trying to determine his current location from the star map.
[Honored guest, you can return to the Green Leaf Alliance at any time through data upload.]
[You have control over this spaceship for 32 years. Exceeding this time will incur extra AmiBa Points charges.]
"Understood."
After half an hour of calculations, Zhang Yuan found the position of the Sun, approximately 6.4 light years away from here.
This discovery made his heart slightly excited.
However, just as he prepared to pilot the ship to leave, Zhang Yuan noticed a strange ball of light appearing in the information station, making him alert.
This ball of light emitted a series of electromagnetic waves, and Zhang Yuan could easily analyze the corresponding information.
"Greetings to the Level 5 Civilization."
Zhang Yuan asked, "Who are you?"
"Commonly, civilizations refer to us as the Observer."
"As the name implies, we silently observe this universe, enjoying collecting all sorts of information, large and small, throughout the universe. The information station point you are located at is part of the Virgo Superluminal Internet System jointly constructed by us, the Noah Faction, and the Amoeba Faction."
"Hello, Observer."
Zhang Yuan felt a sense of solemnity, knowing that the light sphere before him belonged to a civilization vastly superior to humanity.
An intercommunication network connecting the entire Milky Way and even the Virgo Cluster surely required an astronomical amount of effort!
"May I ask your purpose for being here..."
"Please do not worry, we mean no harm."
The light sphere spoke very politely: "We are here to congratulate the Milky Way on the emergence of a brand new Level 5 Civilization! Only by becoming a Level 5 Civilization, breaking free from inherent limitations, and letting go of the past, can one possess an endless future."
Zhang Yuan modestly said, "We... probably don't count as a real Level 5 Civilization, from a technological standpoint, we are still within Level 4 Civilization."
The light ball seemed to carry a hint of goodwill: "No, no, no, the strength of technology is not what matters; potential is what's truly important. Your civilization has already made the choice, taking this step, isn't it? Ordinary intelligent beings can't upload their consciousness via a superluminal communication network to inhabit a simple robot body."
"Whenever an entity transmits its consciousness through this network system, we can gain information about this aspect."
