Thinking about this, Zhang Yuan directly proposed the idea: "Back when we were at the Huantai Civilization's marketplace, we left behind some machines related to Virtual World Technology. Your Alliance should have acquired these machines by now... How has your Alliance progressed with this technology? Have you used it to achieve a positive cycle in population quality?"

"Have you considered using this technology to solve the hibernation problem of Earth Civilization?"

The so-called positive cycle of population quality refers specifically to the Transcendent plan. Virtual World Technology is a technology capable of achieving immortality, and the difference in its use can be significant. In the absence of a sufficiently strong societal system, complete immortality is a disaster for civilization.

Facing Zhang Yuan's question, Pei Ming hurriedly said, "We have already applied Virtual World Technology well... detailed descriptions can be found in the museum. We know that this is black technology, so we use it very cautiously."

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly. Leaving this technology in the marketplace initially also had a meaning of a test. A fleet that can spend thousands of years and exhaust great effort to reach the marketplace indicates advanced propulsion, making complete downfall rather difficult.

"...Regarding using Virtual World Technology to solve Earth Civilization's difficulties, we have considered sending a few machines over via a Transport Ship. Even if it takes more time, they can still be delivered. But we ultimately concluded that the possibility of the plan failing is extremely high, so it was not implemented."

Pei Ming made several gestures and said, "First, the joint government of Earth Civilization is composed of multiple countries. As of now, there are still over a hundred countries, with each planet having autonomous rights. As you know, the more countries there are, the more complicated the relationships of interests. Our Alliance consists of only three civilizations, and even certain collaborations are very difficult. With hundreds of countries, it's almost unimaginable to unite them to accomplish something... unless we attack directly and become their enemy, only then might they unite."

"Plus, some interstellar capital is reliant on the hibernation chamber to realize profits. These interstellar capital forces are extremely powerful, holding considerable power, with capital and politics intertwined. This is also one of the reasons why the hibernation bill has not yet been abolished."

"Our Pan-human Galaxy Alliance is only a Third-level Civilization. Although our strength is far superior to that of Earth people, we can only rely on Cosmic Strings for interstellar travel, making it impossible to send large troops. At best, we've done our utmost by sending a few spaceships."

"Without sufficient influence, they won't directly heed the suggestions we propose."

At this, everyone sighed deeply. Among the branches of humanity, having such an unambitious civilization naturally made them quite frustrated.

Moreover, this civilization is the mother civilization of humanity. From a moral standpoint, we still need to find a way to manage it. Otherwise, history will always record this, and future generations will always need to mention it during education.

But despite the frustration, they had no means to address it.

Simply shouting a few words from afar or sending a few message-bearing ships won't get a response... that's the reality.

Unless the Alliance sends War Stars to force them, but without Cosmic Strings near the Solar System, there's no way to enter or exit.

This is also what the entire Human Alliance is reluctant about. Helping them is fine, but we can't sacrifice ourselves for it. Without Cosmic Strings, their War Stars simply couldn't move.

Zhang Yuan understood this point too. First, you must manage yourself before managing others. He couldn't ask this Alliance to sacrifice everything for the Earth people, that was impossible.

Pei Ming continued, "Alas, Virtual World Technology, after all, is black technology... While we may manage to utilize it correctly, Earth Civilization might not, possibly bringing even greater crises. Using this technology will inevitably cause some upheavals, and if we directly send the machines via spaceship, it might lead to catastrophic consequences."

"So after detailed verification, this plan was not implemented."

Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement. Given Earth Civilization's current state, it certainly can't perfectly utilize this technology. The Virtual World Technology might end up as a tool for personal profit or escalates to ruling all humanity with immortals, permanently solidifying classes. These worse outcomes aren't impossible.

Instead, the Human Alliance borrowed Kunlun Mountain's "Extraordinary Test System," which is one of the reasons for maintaining robust vitality. As long as there are qualified transcendent individuals, a complete downfall is relatively difficult.

They will also maintain the unity of the entire Alliance and promote civilization's progress.

Zhang Yuan said, "What if your Alliance had Curvature Technology?"

Pei Ming said with a bit of excitement, "If there's enough strength, we would certainly find a way to give it a try... after all, it touches on the general level of morality. We can promise this; as long as it doesn't involve too much trouble, we will definitely find a way."

The other leaders also agreed that as long as it's not too much trouble, they are still willing to do it.

That assurance was enough.

Subsequently, Zhang Yuan toured the civilization's technology exhibition halls and various schools, learning that it was a standard third-level civilization with technological strength similar to the Half-sphere Civilization initially encountered by the new humans.

During the subsequent time, he was granted internet access and engaged in some engineering project research. Even with some memories missing, isn't it possible to learn by doing?

Zhang Yuan didn't need to sleep or rest, operating 24 hours a day with extended capabilities. His exceptional research abilities quickly amazed some scientists.

He could also directly connect his consciousness to the internet and browse at 200 times the normal speed.

Soon, Zhang Yuan discovered that the topic was already being discussed by netizens online.

"Breaking news, breaking news! I've heard that humans from the Kunlun Mountain branch have arrived on our planet! Only one person came here!"

"Really? Come to think of it, wasn't the Kunlun Mountain Fleet a civilization branch that split off a long time ago? They've come to our planet?"

"It's the Earth Era branch. We split off from them back in the day, heh heh." The person who posted this must have the username Earth Era.

"Rumor has it they rented Curvature Spaceships from the marketplace and found us. They're already a Level 5 Civilization!"

"Level 5 Civilization? I absolutely don't believe it. If you said they were a Fourth-level Civilization, I might believe it a bit."

"What about the Curvature Technology? If they really are a Fourth-level Civilization, can you imagine it?"

"No, no, no, they are a Level 5 Civilization, giving away Curvature Technology directly."

"Really?"

The netizens chatted back and forth. The Human Alliance did not wildly publicize this matter, nor did they completely suppress the discussion, instead maintaining an ambiguous attitude.

In the end, it was only with Zhang Yuan's consent that they published a brief news item on the official website.

However, the fewer words, the bigger the matter; the visit by the Kunlun Mountain Human Branch couldn't be concealed, soon sparking vast public enthusiasm.

People were eager to know how the Kunlun Mountain branch of humanity survived, how many War Stars they possessed, and what their technological level was?

They wanted to know, desperately wanted to know!

In response to various invitations from journalists and assorted news interviews, Zhang Yuan almost never refused, displaying maximum goodwill. The capabilities of a Level 5 Civilization naturally exceeded the imagination of a Third-level Civilization. Despite the robot's not particularly strong performance, Zhang Yuan's various abilities still left the public in awe.

The 200 times thought speed and modular thinking mode triggered a massive wave of public opinion.

In fact, Zhang Yuan wasn't doing this out of a desire to flaunt, but to stimulate the Alliance.

Different perspectives lead to different actions; once the Human Alliance interacted with a Level 5 Civilization and understood its true strength, it would naturally strive in this direction.

"...Actually, many of our cutting-edge technologies were gifts from the Kunlun Mountain side; we can't deny that. The Virtual World was directly given by them, and clues about Curvature Technology were left by the Kunlun Mountain branch, but unfortunately, we haven't deciphered its mysteries yet. Maybe this time, we'll have to rely on Kunlun Mountain again."

"It's not maybe; we definitely will!"

"It's a bit frustrating. We thought we had developed quite well."

"And they have three War Stars, not sure if it's true or not."

"It should be true; why would they fake such a matter? The difficulty of developing War Stars compared to a Level 5 Civilization is nothing."

Online comments actually reflect some characteristics of this civilization and also reveal the society's realities.

According to sociological investigations of low-level civilizations, the more hostility online, the less fair society is, and the lower the people's sense of happiness;

If the population wanting to become entertainment stars is increasing, it indicates a deepening degree of social class solidification, with stars becoming the only acceptable goal;

This side of the internet is often the truer side of the entire society.
