Chapter 322 Civilization Level Division

In the eyes of interstellar civilization, K-class civilization is not divided. No matter it is a primitive race or a modern civilization, as long as it does not pass the big filter, it is called K-class civilization.

But since the beginning of L-class civilization, there has been a relatively rough division process.

Apart from the elusive S-class civilization, L-class civilization is the real main body of the starry sky...

From the perspective of science and technology, only by realizing [large fusion reactors] and completing [about 5% of sub-light speed spacecraft] can it be considered to have the means of star-level interstellar navigation and reach the real L1-class civilization.

In response to Yi Feng's questions, Hei began to show off his knowledge proudly. Every time at this time, he felt particularly useful.

Since he chose to join the new human civilization, he must fulfill his duties. He is not a half-hearted person.

"Captain Yu, the benefits of crossing the Great Filter are self-evident. Every L1-level interstellar civilization has achieved a qualitative change in civilization and can easily crush most K-level civilizations. Is this okay?"

Yu Yifeng nodded: "What about L2? The discovery of dark matter theory is not a difficult task, right?"

In his opinion, since humans have achieved fusion, they have naturally discovered dark matter, thus realizing the subsequent curvature engine.

"Yes, that's right, as long as the hadron collider is strong enough..." Hei nodded and said: "But not all interstellar civilizations will frantically build hadron colliders bigger and stronger, so they may not discover dark matter soon..."

"Moreover, the exploration of curvature bubbles is also very difficult and requires a long process."

Think about it, it's right. Humans have only been exploring curvature bubbles for 20 to 30 years, but have achieved considerable results.

That's because... most of the space structures are copied from the green light civilization, which can be said to have taken a shortcut!

If there is no data obtained when attacking the green light spacecraft, the research and development time of the curvature engine will be greatly extended. Yu Yifeng couldn't help but smile. Isn't it a blessing in disguise?

In short, L2 civilization is represented by the emergence of the "dark matter" theory and the subsequent curvature engine.

"Dark matter" theory, a huge milestone.

Even... humans still can't figure out whether some "dark matter" is zero-point energy or dynamic field, and are still groping for its ultimate essence.

Maybe just like the wave-particle duality of photons, "dark matter" also has two properties, which is also possible.

The level of civilization is, of course, divided by a certain scientific milestone, not by the difficulty of a certain technology. No matter whether this "theory" is simple or difficult, as long as it is discovered and stood on it, the level of civilization will rise by one level.

Of course, if there is a gap in level, the gap in strength is even more different.

L1 level, 5% of the speed of light, at most 10%.

But what about L2? Beyond the speed of light!

"Then, what about L3 level? What technology?"

"Nanotechnology."

"Nanotechnology?" Yu Yifeng asked in confusion.

"Yes, to be precise, it is 'nano-level control'. Of course, it is not the current superficial level, but to achieve true atomic-level control."

"Including a large number of nanomaterials, nanorobots, etc."

"This technology requires civilization to have a deep understanding of the microscopic level, and it involves the Casimir effect. I'm sorry, my core memory does not have this information..."

"But I know that through these technologies, some materials with exaggerated performance can be manufactured, including frictionless materials, and the Casimir effect can be used to make a small amount of vacuum energy and dark energy..."

Hei finally added: "As far as I know, the real controlled nuclear fusion technology is realized at this stage."

Frictionless materials... Is it really possible?

Yu Yifeng paused, feeling a little fantasy in his heart. L3-level technology is so exaggerated... In previous theories, it is almost impossible to exist, right?

He asked curiously, "What about L4?"

"Gene dynamics, brain topology, civilization at this stage can study the initial generation of wisdom and initially transform life from the genetic level... A lot of information has been given to you."

"In fact, human brain chips are equivalent to L4-level technology... This technology transcends the level of civilization itself."

"...What about L5?"

"I don't know..." Hei shook his head. His original civilization stopped at L4.

He said solemnly: "Mr. Yu Yifeng, let me remind you that the classification of civilizations is very rough. Each technological line has almost no end. Even my original L4 civilization has not yet fully explored the L2 dark energy theory. There is no great significance in being entangled in the level of civilization. The two parties in contact cannot inform each other of the level of civilization."

"Generally speaking, you can't judge the strength of the other party's spacecraft by its appearance... unless you actually fight with the other party!"

"There are always so many strange things in the universe, just like the Green Light civilization, didn't it beat up the more powerful Destroyer civilization?"

"Being vigilant, humble, friendly, and distant is the survival rule among interstellar civilizations!"

Yu Yifeng was silent for a while. This is more useful information: "What do you think of our civilization? L2... or L4?"

Hei thought for a while: "In theory, we have explored the L2, L3, and L4 theories a little bit, and all disciplines are developing in parallel. This phenomenon is very rare. So I dare say that we don't have too big a bottleneck before L4."

"But in terms of industrial strength and combat effectiveness, we are probably at the lower end of the L2 level, better than the L1 that has just entered the interstellar, but not as good as the old L2 civilization."

"We have too few spaceships. If the Deep Space is destroyed, there will be nothing. Captain Yu...you still have to build ships quickly, build ships!"

Faced with Hei's loud call, Yu Yifeng was also somewhat moved. He planned to supervise the industrial issues.

There is no problem with mounting thousands of small spaceships outside the Deep Space.

And the development of large weapons must be implemented as soon as possible.

Finally, he asked somewhat unwillingly: "... Is there really no other technology in your core memory?"

Hei spread his hands and said with some regret: "I'm sorry, there is indeed no other technology. My core memory is not complete..."

"In fact, these seemingly epoch-making scientific papers are all our basic popular courses."

"Just like the new human civilization has popularized relativity and calculus in higher education, my previous civilization has also popularized more advanced knowledge, so I can take it out..."

"I just learned a little bit and can barely remember it. As for superconducting material technology, it is my higher education graduation thesis... Isn't it very good..." Hei said proudly.

Yu Yifeng was secretly amazed when he heard it. It was really intoxicating that other people's popularization of basic knowledge actually gave humans such a great inspiration.

He thought for a while and found that he had asked all the questions. He waved his hand to indicate that he had nothing else to do.

Hei also nodded to Yu Yifeng and said goodbye politely...

"It seems that this Hei is indeed standing on the side of mankind... It is meaningful that we did not break the contract and kill him at the beginning."

After watching him leave, Yu Yifeng carefully savored the cosmic information data given by Hei.

Humanity is still not strong now, and things like L4 and L5 are too far away. The advanced scientific papers that make humans ecstatic are just some knowledge popularization...

The gap between civilizations is really big.

But if you think about it carefully, this statement actually makes some sense. If a normal college student travels back to the Newton era, the knowledge he possesses is enough to scare the scientists of the time!

Even this college student does not need to understand very much, just a little bit of calculus, chemistry or biology can inspire scientists at the time!

Let's put it this way, this college student only needs to recite "hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron...", or calculate the simplest calculus. This group of scientific elites will naturally be affected by the huge atmosphere and continue along this path, and then it will have nothing to do with college students.

Creating knowledge is always more difficult than learning knowledge, and opening up a road is even more difficult.

Just the theory of dark matter discovered by humans, there is still a lot to explore...

And the genetic dynamics and brain topology given by Hei are even more vast and boundless, just like a framework. Humans have only explored a little bit, but have gained a lot, and even invented something as epoch-making as the brain chip...

Hei has made a good start for humans, and the content behind it needs to be slowly filled in by humans.

In this way, the gap between interstellar civilizations is indeed very huge.

It's a long way to go... When Yu Yifeng thinks of the behemoths that have existed for millions or hundreds of millions of years, he can't imagine what they will become.

Of course, the road still needs to be taken step by step.

At this moment, although humans are not the strongest civilization in the Milky Way, they are already a rare interstellar civilization. Yu Yifeng will definitely not blindly worry about it.

So many low-level civilizations are still living well, not to mention the new human civilization...
