Chapter 86 The fallen genius

The Milky Way fell into the calm before the storm.

In addition to paying attention to the two lost empires that seemed to be ancient enemies, civilizations also discovered that the "Guardian"'s scientific research spacecraft were passing through more and more frequently, and they felt like they were in a hurry.

These changes have undoubtedly brought a sense of urgency to the young civilizations. Now not only are there changes in the Lost Empire, but there are also far greater exchanges between civilizations than before.

Many giants gathered together in secret to discuss the future of the galaxy.

Even those people who do not pay attention to major galactic events and are only immersed in their own world can still detect some clues from the increasingly solemn atmosphere of the people around them.

There is such an old scholar, who for the first time in a long time got away from the subject and looked towards the stars.

"Have you seen it? The latest sci-fi blockbuster "Awakening Empire 2", the plot and special effects are really good!"

"...My evaluation is just a bunch of excuses, with nothing but special effects. Two ancient civilizations engage in a fateful showdown, and the young civilization reaps the benefits? Do you think this is possible?"

"Why not? Two ancient civilizations are fighting to the death. The young civilization develops secretly, just like in the movie, studying the wreckage during their armistice and taking it for their own use. Doesn't this make them all fall at the feet of the young civilization?

"

"Just think about it. It's good to be able to dream. You are not the chairman of the Galaxy Council and I don't recognize it."

"..."

In a certain colony of Ming Bo's technological dictatorship, a group of young people were exchanging ideas about the recently popular movies, and the arguments had become so heated that the final direction of the discussion had deviated from the movie itself and started a conflict of values.

Some of them think that this is a good opportunity given by God to young civilization, while others think that this is a pure act of seeking death.

But just as they were arguing, an old man who looked like a scholar heard what they were talking about, came over and interrupted:

"Boys, what is this 'Awakening Empire' you were talking about before?"

The intervention of outsiders did not arouse the anger of the young people, but made them seem quite happy. Now they urgently need a third party to agree with their views.

However, when they saw who it was, they all stopped arguing and remained silent in a tacit agreement, as if they did not want to communicate.

Seeing their appearance, the old scholar didn't pay much attention and just walked past these young people.

And after he disappeared from sight, someone in the group of young guys said, "...is it him?"

"The electronic chip on my arm vibrated. Only people who have been deprived of scientific research rights can trigger it..."

In the Mingbo technological dictatorship, depriving the right to scientific research is equivalent to being expelled from society. In this society that pursues the supremacy of science and technology, people who cannot participate in scientific research are social worms and are despised by others.

"...But most of these people are in prison. He is the only one who can still walk freely on the street at this age and has the appearance of a scholar..."

One of them said this, and finally used the electronic device on his hand to call up a directory, which was densely recorded with countless impressive names.

This is the so-called "Genius List", and the scientists who were sent to the Lost Empire of "Far Traveler" are all recorded.

For most scientists and the civilization behind them, this is an honor, except for the Mingbo technological dictatorship.

This civilization that pursued scientific development naturally also gave birth to talented scientists, and successfully attracted the attention of "far travelers".

There was a scientist who was valued by the "Far Traveler" and wanted to go there. At that time, Mingbo was almost universally celebrated, and even a new holiday was added on this day to commemorate this genius scientist.

However, the good times did not last long. Just when Uncle Ming was still trumpeting the excellence of their education, the "Far Traveler" actually sent the scientist back without explaining the reason.

But this behavior, which is tantamount to "returning goods", is almost a slap in the face to Uncle Ming, making them completely embarrassed.

As a result, the scientist who was repatriated was pronounced a social death, and his relatives and friends all left him.

Although the public's anger has gradually dissipated to this day, this does not mean that they have forgiven the scientist.

Therefore, when these young people saw the man just now, they were no longer willing to speak. Because they recognized the origin of the old scholar, he was the scientist who was returned.

At this time, the old scholar was walking on the street shaking his head, feeling that everyone was drunk and I was alone.

"...They all think I'm embarrassed, but who knows what great things I've done? What a bunch of pathetic people..."

As the protagonist of the incident, he knew exactly what he had done to be sent back by the Far Traveler.

Contrary to the "Watchmen" who advocate idealism, the "Far Traveler" is a materialistic lost empire.

They admire the convenience brought by machinery and have gone a long way on the road of science and technology affecting life.

During the time that the old scholar stayed in the Far Traveler, he discovered that the main species of the Far Traveler were prosthetic humans with electronic implants.

Although the prosthetic technology they used was very superb, it still made old scholars a little confused.

Because prosthetic technology is not uncommon in the galaxy, the "Farstriders" are a lost empire. Even though the electronic implants they use are much more advanced than ordinary civilizations, they do not appear to have transcended the times.

Essentially, mechanical prosthetics are used to replace organic bodies.

But at that time, the old scholar who focused on scientific research did not pay too much attention to this matter. Instead, after a period of research, he reported his research results to the "Far Traveler":

He believes that by digitalizing consciousness and transferring it to a mechanical body, we can achieve a collective leap forward for the species and get rid of the shackles of the physical body.

At that time, with the help of the advanced tools of the Far Traveler, he was even ready to implement this idea on himself.

However, "Far Traveler" appeared to be non-committal about this, but in fact he turned around and sent the old scholar back to Mingbo. Needless to say what his attitude was.

Even though this old scholar has now deserted his family, he still insists that his theory is correct.

Through his research during the Far Traveler period and through these years of preparation, he was ready to become the first person in the galaxy to complete "ascension".

This outing is just the last time his lifeless body experiences the world. After that, he will use his perfect machine body to announce his success to the world.

He will prove that the Far Travelers made a mistake in sending him back.

And he will set off a new wave.
