Chapter 191: Chapter 192 Wandering Plan
After a quiet discussion, an expert in New Civilization History asked, “Mr. Zhang Yuan, the Gaia Civilization… what kind of civilization is it?”
Zhang Yuan replied, “I’m not quite sure, but it should be the extraordinary civilization we imagine.”
“…What I encountered was just an artificial intelligence with a relatively good temperament, not the Gaia Civilization itself. I always stayed in that virtual world and never witnessed the outside real world. Therefore, I know nothing about the specifics and cannot understand them.”
Captain Zhao asked again, “What about the Amoeba Civilization?”
“It should be a civilization skilled in trading. And their credibility seems quite good too… otherwise, that artificial intelligence wouldn’t have let me take the Amoeba Civilization’s fleet to Earth…”
“Amoeba?” Another Deputy Captain furrowed his brows, pondering.
The mere term could give rise to a series of associations.
“Amoeba” is not only a kind of microorganism on Earth, but also a term in business management, that is, having various “amoebas” with leaders at the core, allowing them to set their plans and relying on the intelligence and efforts of all members to achieve goals.
“Since the term ‘Amoeba’ has been extracted from the human lexicon, it must not be without basis; there must be some connection…”
Just like “Italy,” meaning “Land of Bulls”; “Lithuania,” land of many waters; china, meaning porcelain.
“So, this term may represent some characteristics of the Amoeba Civilization.”
All kinds of wild guesses, they actually seemed to make a bit of sense!
Zhang Yuan was sweating profusely and did not know how to comment; this train of thought seemed a bit too imaginative.
But people couldn’t help but take it seriously, as this might be the first time in history that humans truly communicated with an alien civilization!
Moreover, this news was brought back by the contactee Zhang Yuan himself, absolutely authentic, not some fake news fabricated to attract attention.
Zhang Yuan thought for a while, then said, “Let’s not talk about the specifics for now, but this Amoeba Civilization must be far more powerful than us…”
“How powerful, exactly? At least they have a fleet capable of interstellar voyage, able to conduct Constant Star Level trade, and they can protect themselves from being plundered…”
“But what is the object of the trade? AmiBa Points should just be a unit of currency. It can’t be that interstellar civilizations trade physical resources with each other.”
“I think it’s about leveraging their unique technology to accept some high-difficulty commissions. Or perhaps exchanging technology and information… Technology has barriers; there’s so little a civilization can achieve on its own.”
“If that’s really the case, it means that most civilizations in the universe are capable of communication.”
From just these few words, the deduced information greatly expanded human horizons.
As if Native Americans witnessed a true modern civilization, people discovered a completely new world.
A boundlessly vast universe appeared in their minds, where civilizations have goodwill, competition, and can communicate.
That was enough!
Captain Zhao clenched his fists, “Everyone, we shouldn’t simply assume that other civilizations are filled with goodwill…”
“The universe is so vast, and the planets are relatively isolated; these civilizations definitely cannot have a single ideology. Who knows what kind of strange and exotic creatures there might be? Like that Zero-XZ, a super lifeform, it can destroy a civilization.”
“When power is equal, we can trade, but if it’s not, it could turn into robbery!”
“Yes, this time we were lucky to meet some kind-hearted ones, next time it might not be the case.”
“We still need to develop… Only by ensuring our own strength, can we avoid being passive like we are now. We won’t actively plunder others, but we will certainly not allow ourselves to be plundered.”
Many nodded in agreement, we must continuously develop until we reach the upper bound that humanity can achieve… That upper bound, of course, is to fully reach or even surpass the technological level of Earth Civilization!
Zhang Yuan pondered, currently the entire civilization possessed a vast legacy from Earth Civilization and, theoretically, it could reach the pinnacle of Earth Civilization in one to two hundred years.

But the peak of Earth Civilization was still not nearly enough, it remained just an Ordinary Civilization in the universe.
Vaguely, everyone seemed to see a much broader path: if limited by intelligence, or limited by human perception itself, science and culture really could not develop further, then…
“…just like the Amoeba Civilization, wander in the vastness of space, to touch a greater world!”
However, this path was not easy.
It required people to abandon their warm comfort zone, leave the Mother Star, and embark on a harsh and unknown interstellar voyage, a long journey that might consume the youth of generations.
This point was too difficult…
If one could comfortably lie down, who would be willing to force themselves to get up from the bed, to run, to struggle? Laziness is human nature, a minority of people can indeed overcome laziness, but the entire civilization is still determined by the will of the majority.
“So, whether our descendants can make this choice, no one can know.”
The discussion reached this point, and Captain Zhao let out a sigh, “Without long-term concerns, there must be immediate worries. If we don’t think about these kinds of problems, our descendants will be even less likely to.”
“So we must formulate relevant continuity policies… When you have time, think more, calculate more, and in another century or two, we will be able to end the three-thousand-year journey and reach our final destination.”
“I will tentatively name this plan, ‘Wandering Plan’.”
Zhang Yuan did some quick calculations and found that the recently proposed “Wandering Plan” had similarities with the “Seeding Plan.”
Theoretically, this plan had more of a positive impact.
The Mother Star was good, but it was also a hotbed for the inward spiral of civilization.
At the same time, the “Wandering Plan” could encounter more civilizations, understand the cultures and development histories of these Alien Civilizations, and was more conducive to the improvement of the discipline of “New Civilization History.”
“A single sample of Human Civilization’s history still seems a bit insufficient.”
“If we can obtain more samples of civilizations, it might bring about a real qualitative change!”
The enthusiastic discussion lasted until late at night, until the doctors came to hurry people away, and Zhang Yuan reluctantly left.
Returning to his small room, Zhang Yuan suddenly realized he had neglected to do a few things.
Second, because the discussion was so intense, the “Bozeman Quantum Consciousness Converter” he had brought back seemed to have been temporarily overlooked.
But no matter, that could be discussed tomorrow.
But the second thing, if it was delayed any further, it would be a disaster!
It seemed… he had forgotten about Lin Xuanyuan.
Lin Xuanyuan had been waiting in a single room in the Hospital, just awoken from hibernation, and to prevent emotional fluctuations that could lead to adverse reactions, the doctors had not informed her about Zhang Yuan’s “revival.”
But today seemed to be the recovery period, and in theory, she should have had a higher capacity to cope.
Swallowing, Zhang Yuan felt that the more he delayed this matter, the harder it seemed to explain.
He hurried to the Hospital, “Doctor, um… can I see my girlfriend now?”
