Deep Space Wandering Fleet-Chapter 606 - 602 The Help of the Enlightener

The antimatter produced by humans consumed a tremendous amount of energy and was measured in grams, at most accumulating over time to attain levels of kilograms or tons. It was difficult to improve efficiency.

But a Dyson Sphere? Hundreds of thousands of tons every second! The difference between an ocean and a droplet is incomparable. As far as the current human civilization is concerned, no matter how much effort was expended, our industrial capabilities were like a drop in the ocean compared to a Dyson Sphere.

At this point, Zhang Yuan broached a long-considered idea from his group, "In short, I still hope that humanity can contribute to the construction of this Dyson Sphere, even if it’s just leaving our names behind as a good option."

"Not to mention, we would also earn Amoeba Points and antimatter energy."

"Stockpiling some antimatter for potential crises is a prudent precaution... I even suggest using Amoeba Points to purchase some antimatter."

Several experts in the field of electromagnetism nodded in agreement, expressing their opinions that stockpiling and using antimatter posed no significant technical problems.

As long as the antimatter was in a plasma state, it could be stored via magnetic confinement, similar to Controlled Nuclear Fusion.

Zhang Yuan paused before continuing, "...On the other hand, even if the interstellar trading market leaves in the future, due to the presence of the Dyson Sphere, it’s unlikely that all surrounding civilizations would depart."

"Therefore, various long-term scientific activities could still continue. Though the format may become more complex, forming different factions... It’s too early to assess what might happen..."

"In summary, based on the current information, as long as we make adequate preparations, the opportunities should outweigh the risks."

Helping with the construction? Everyone present fell into contemplation, then showed a keen interest.

Indeed, leaving one’s name on such a colossal structure, what an interesting endeavor!

Several journalists, observing the proceedings, suddenly realized that this was significant news, something that could capture the public’s attention, and they all perked up their ears in unison.

However, it was not yet time for questions from journalists, and curious as they were, they had to forcibly contain their inquisitiveness.

It was at this time that a lady raised her hand and spoke up, "Mr. Zhang, do you really think there is no ulterior motive behind the construction of this Dyson Sphere? That it won’t cause us any harm? How can you guarantee its so-called safety?"

"You did mention that its combat capabilities could destroy humanity in an instant, even eradicate a Planet Fortress!"

Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "To understand this Dyson Sphere, we must first analyze its owners, the Tabi Civilization."

"As the Tabi Civilization has been long gone, and it was extremely powerful with minimal interaction with low-level civilizations..."

"In our recent probes, the fragments of information we’ve gathered are related to a ’generous and amicable Tabi Civilization,’ which generally paint a favorable picture. We’re cautiously optimistic about these impressions, unwilling to fully trust them, nor to completely disregard them by fabricating conspiracy theories to explain..."

"However, one thing is certain—the last branch of the Tabi Civilization disappeared 150,000 years ago! Does this timeline ring a bell for anyone?"

"The Enlightener Civilization that we know of... 150,000 years ago, it helped many civilizations. This subtle influence can still be found on various native planets to this day."

When the Enlightener Civilization was mentioned, everyone in the conference room gasped!

There was no evidence to support this speculation, yet the stories behind it were truly staggering. Some had even begun to theorize why the Tabi Civilization built this Dyson Sphere!

This was to... help!

Here in the Milky Way, the most conspicuous signpost, even civilizations with rudimentary astronomical capabilities could discover—a Dyson Sphere right here!

What would they think? Would they panic, be invigorated, or undergo a series of changes?

Civilizations at the far reaches of space, do you see this Dyson Sphere?

The countless intelligent civilizations developed in technology yet squabbling among themselves, do you see it?

Look! The Dyson Sphere is right here!

In the Universe, there are innumerable aliens far more powerful than you! Those cocooning in their own worlds... do you see it?!

...

The government quickly passed several bills in this meeting. The first was the "Dyson Sphere Tourism Act," allowing exemplary citizens to visit the Dyson Sphere in organized groups and witness the wonder of the Milky Way!

The passage of this act indeed caused a sensation, particularly when rumors leaked that the Dyson Sphere might be a relic of the legendary Enlighteners, adding an aura of myth.

Naturally, the officials did not explicitly confirm these rumors. Whether it was the work of the Enlighteners or not, people were left to investigate on their own...

Following the enactment of the bill, signups for the tour surpassed one million instantly, and within a day, exceeded ten million—a staggering rate that left people agape!

Another piece of legislation was the "Regulations for Scientific Exchange Abroad," laying out guidelines for scientists during foreign exchanges, including data acquisition, constant star observations, Dyson Sphere structural analysis, and the like—essentially governing the scientific community.

The third plan was the "Dyson Sphere Construction Act," which called for the collective effort of all humanity to contribute to the final construction stages of the Dyson Sphere. Of course, this "collective effort" meant helping as much as possible without hindering our own development.

Human productivity was currently surplus; selling a portion to earn money wasn’t a bad idea.

Besides establishing these regulations, the government had three major directions in mind. One was the direct purchase of a semi-complete War Star.

The semi-complete Planet Fortresses here were quite affordable, attainable for a couple thousand Amoeba Points. If it meant saving thousands of years of time, people were willing to spend the points.

The second direction was to continue breaking through with Curvature Technology. Humanity’s current Curvature Technology was insufficient to mobilize planets—a significant issue. This even took precedence over buying Planet Fortresses; if it came down to it, we’d have to spend money to acquire this technology.

As for the third direction, it was for Superdimensional Perception Scientists like Zhang Yuan to play an even greater role!

As the village’s biggest and only cash cow, Zhang Yuan felt an immense pressure!
