Chapter 1575: Chapter 590: The Return of the Clans, Menacing Forces

In the ancient history of human civilization, there was once such an era.

Due to years of chaos and finally making relatively correct choices at the right time, a broad sense of ethnic group living on relatively small land was the first to step into industrialization.

After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, Earth humans for the first time gained the ability to completely break the geographic boundaries formed by oceans, ice fields, deserts, plateaus, and mountains.

In just a few decades, during this phase, Earth humans quickly transitioned from the agrarian age to the industrial age, as if riding a rocket.

Following this, in the upheaval of world transformation, the ethnic group that first mastered modern scientific theories, further and more accurate naval artillery, ironclad ships, production lines, better firearms, and other weapons of war began to expand outward, stepping onto a fertile land.

The indigenous peoples living on this land sadly remained in the agrarian era, utterly lacking the strength to resist.

Next came endless slaughter, followed by more slaughter.

To seize the nest more rapidly, the invaders not only wielded weapons but also started spreading plagues.

The population of the indigenous people remaining in the agrarian era continued to sharply decline.

These pitiful sentinels sometimes didn’t even know what was happening, merely watching as their family members fell ill one by one.

They clearly just received a blanket from "kindhearted" merchants, but their families were all wiped out.

This is the disparity in technological age.

Genocide without bloodshed is the power of the technological age gap.

Nowadays, the relationship between Ascendants and the Mechanical Empire is almost indistinguishable from that of those early "barbarians" and "indigenous people."

The Mechanical Empire has the longest history, yet due to maintaining human traits, it loses step by step in the field of exhaustive experimental research.

The many technologies that the Mechanical Empire is proud of become practically useless in the face of Ascendants, such as information flow scanning and communication technology, completely exploited long ago, akin to how the indigenous people of the past painstakingly forged steel blades capable of splitting hairs, and brave warriors wielded these formerly revered cold weapons, forming groups to charge at invaders, only to be mowed down en masse by firearms.

The Ascendants ignored the "Observation Towers" laid out beyond the new frontier by the Mechanical Empire, effortlessly deploying their forces and advancing like shadows of the night, or like a plague hidden inside a blanket, relentlessly closing in.

Within the Mechanical Empire, there are still many wise people who know the Empire faces a technological gap with the three major enemies. Yet, after all these years, despite the gap, the Empire has always stood firm, never truly perished.

Therefore, most people believe that this gap, while objectively existing, is still acceptable.

But unlike others, Ren Zhong is an absolute pessimist.

Although he submitted the Giant Reproductive Cells of the Mother Empress Ship, he also kept backups.

The Red Blade Science Academy and Source Star Science Academy never stopped researching Giant Reproductive Cells, and new conclusions are drawn every day.

These conclusions are not more profound than those presented by the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Mechanical Empire.

But compared to the Royal Academy of Sciences, what sets the Red Blade apart is the advantage of having Ren Zhong himself.

Ren Zhong built his logic based on these conclusions, attempting to use his prescient abilities and broader, more chaotic thinking to speculate and boldly hypothesize, then arriving at conclusions belonging only to him.

He understood the true horror of the Ascendants as a race whose path is self-evolutionary multiplication.

Advancing science through genomic evolution, continually trial and error through exhaustive mutation, bypassing theoretical and foundational research, leaving everything driven by the instincts of life, then when needed, simply using a segment of genetic chain, could complete vast productivity reforms in extremely short time.

When needed, Ascendants could proliferate and propagate like fungi, expanding a tremendous population in extremely short time.

This civilization, also received covert assistance from Pilgrims and Spirit Demon Race, gained an absolute advantage over the Mechanical Empire in the cosmic dimension of warfare, fundamentally diminishing its operations.

Therefore, even upon foreseeing "tragic victory" in the short term, Ren Zhong believes the Empire stands no chance at all.
