Chapter 275: Chapter 274: Eternal Life Civilization Joins

After mutual exchange.

The scientists at Wandering Base made a request to Constant Star Lu Chen.

In order to quickly research the method of unifying force and find the scientific application techniques of the Unified Force Stone, the scientists asked Constant Star Lu Chen to hand over the Unified Force Stone for their research, promising a satisfactory result to Lu Chen.

Previously, Constant Star Lu Chen was reluctant to hand over the Unified Force Stone to the scientific team for a long time because it was not yet the era of Eternal Life. The members of the scientific team were changed very frequently, which was not very safe if the stone was given directly to them. In fact, the scientific team would typically replace a member only after they had passed away or retired, which isn’t considered frequent, but such a timeline is still too short for a star.

Secondly, at that time the level of scientific understanding had not completely clarified the Four Basic Forces, so jumping directly to the research related to the unified force was, in Lu Chen’s view, counterproductive and too hasty.

Thirdly, Constant Star Lu Chen’s mass was not very high at that time, and during his wandering travels, he would often need to absorb star mass greater than his own, so it was more convenient for him to keep the Unified Force Stone within his own body.

However, now, Constant Star Lu Chen’s star mass has reached 76,610, which is considered a high level among medium-mass stars. He rarely encounters stars larger than himself, and even if he does encounter a large mass star, with the current technological level of the Wandering Alliance, they can provide substantial assistance. Unlike in the past where he could only rely on himself, so it could be said that his rigid need for the Unified Force Stone has become less crucial as technology and time have evolved.

Moreover, considering that it is now the era of Eternal Life, the members of the scientific team are relatively stable. Even if new members join, due to the baptism of the Communist System and the education policy of all elite members, the level of consciousness and thought of everyone is now very high. At such a time, it is relatively safe to entrust them with the research of the Unified Force Stone.

The reason for this is the overall improvement in the literacy and mindset of the population.

It’s just like discussing democracy and freedom, both of which are inherently good and undeniable.

But if they are implemented wrongly or at the wrong time, the end result will be the opposite of what was intended.

Because democracy and freedom are ultimately human-centric, when the people’s literacy and mindset are not high enough, when they cannot see the larger perspective, they cannot properly harness this "power’’. It’s very easy to be deceived and manipulated by some politicians, turning into tools of political struggle and leading to social upheaval and economic regression.

This can be seen from the frequent protests and demonstrations during the era of Ancient Earth. Of course, this is not to say that protests are bad. When there are no channels for feedback, this method is viable. But in essence and meaning, if this method is utilized and incited by those with ulterior motives to form a political movement, it would certainly not be a good thing.

This point vividly illustrates the positive relationship between democracy, freedom, and the level of thought.

Furthermore, the situation of the Communist System can be examined. Communism is built on a social background with very advanced thought and productive forces. If conditions are not met and communism is prematurely and blindly implemented, it will also backfire.

Both of these points have clear examples and lessons in history, which shows the importance of timing in policy-making.

If democracy and freedom are preached directly in the Feudal Era when people’s consciousness was not sufficiently developed, and they were constrained by the low productive forces of the environment, they would become reckless and do as they pleased. After all, everything could be covered up with democracy and freedom. Therefore, the best approach is to make gradual progress, increasing the percentage of democracy and freedom appropriately as the people’s level of thought rises (This was the method of rule for many developed countries at the time; without this method, granting 100% democracy and freedom would ultimately result in being "overthrown by democracy and freedom").

Of course, situations where education has no intention of elevating people’s thinking is another matter altogether.

In short, society is a reflection of human nature. Whether it is a nation or a political group, they need to be good to the people and enable them to live a good life, rather than treating the people as tools of their own power. Only in this way can they gain the trust and feedback of the people. Otherwise, it will only lead to ultimate destruction. There is a fitting saying to describe this: water can carry a boat, it can also capsize it.

This is what Lu Chen of Constant Star realized slowly after becoming the leader of the Wandering Alliance through learning from history and experience.

This is also the mental journey that Lu Chen took from a small astronaut to a qualified spiritual leader.

Ultimately, the ruler Lu Chen of Constant Star, taking into account the overall situation, believed that the current scientific team was capable of controls the Unified Force Stone, and only then did he fully hand over the Unified Force Stone to the scientific team for research.

Right after Lu Chen of Constant Star resolved these matters, the Wandering Alliance also completed its investigation of the Eternal Life Civilization.

When Lu Chen of Constant Star learned about it, he finally understood the origin of the Eternal Life Civilization. It turns out that eternal beings can achieve eternal life by storing previous memory information for reincarnation.

However, the drawback of eternal beings is that their memory genes can only be passed on once in a lifetime.

This is because eternal beings are hermaphroditic lifeforms, capable of self-reproduction (producing eggs and sperm for insemination themselves), and they can also control when their memory information is inherited, which usually occurs at the end of their lives.

Because once the memory genes are passed on, the original brain will naturally die off, and the body will follow its biological instincts to channel all energy towards the development and formation of the infant.

Apart from passing on their own memory genes, each eternal being will also reproduce normally, giving birth to fully independent eternal beings. These eternal beings are raised by their parents, who then take on the responsibility of raising their parent’s reincarnated infants.

It can be said that because of these biological characteristics, eternal beings are a very novel and interesting form of life!

After summarizing this investigative information, the Wandering Alliance once again convened a deliberative assembly to make the final decision, and this assembly passed the resolution to accept the Eternal Life Civilization into the Alliance by an overwhelming majority of votes.

Afterward, as usual, the Wandering Alliance held a grand ceremony of membership at the Wandering Base and added a model of the Eternal Life Civilization to the Memorial Star System. The moment the ceremony was completed, the Eternal Life Civilization truly became a member of the Wandering Alliance, and the whole star system celebrated.

With the inclusion of the Eternal Life Civilization in the Wandering Alliance, and after establishing its own orbital path within the Wandering Star System, the various biological civilizations within the Alliance would also slowly begin to interact and strengthen ties with each other, in order to merge cultures and thoughts. It is believed that in this process, the economic growth within the Wandering Alliance is sure to be greatly promoted. After all, the exchange between different planets and different civilizations will definitely involve a great deal of basic infrastructure and technological inventions.

And Lu Chen of Constant Star did not immediately demand the Eternal Life Civilization to adopt the Communist System upon joining, but rather chose to give the Eternal Life Civilization a transition period, allowing both sides to familiarize themselves with each other’s civilization and thoughts, to raise them to a comparable level as much as possible. He believes that a more superior social system will emerge from the interactions between different civilized societies. If Communism is sufficiently superior, he trusts that when the time is right, without any demand from him, the Eternal Life Civilization will take the initiative for internal reform.

Once everything was well arranged, Lu Chen of Constant Star instructed all members of the Wandering Alliance to return to their original orbital paths.

Then, the Wandering Alliance put full effort into activating the Space Wormhole, with Lu Chen of Constant Star leading the brand new Wandering Alliance to continue towards the Cosmic Center, embarking on a journey of wandering and exploration.

What unknowns lie ahead, waiting for them?
