A single phone call completely exposed the purpose of the Origin Universe and the existence of the Tai Hao civilization.
An alien civilization, previously confined to fantasy stories, suddenly appeared, like a bomb detonating and shaking the entire Blue Civilization to its core.
An alien civilization, with technology far exceeding that of the Blue Civilization, and with ill intentions towards humanity.
This was an unavoidable catastrophe!
Through Kunsha Sandara's communication, the high-ranking officials of various countries learned that the Tai Hao civilization's fleet had already set sail and was relentlessly racing towards the Golden Crow Galaxy.
In three hundred years, the massive alien fleet would arrive.
The severe external threat forced all nations of the Blue Civilization to temporarily put aside their differences and conflicts, choosing to unite against the threat to their civilization.
The Blue International Alliance, which was on the verge of disappearing from the course of history, was resurrected and began operating again.
The nations of the Blue Civilization needed this platform for collaboration.
This time, the Blue Civilization stood on the brink of extinction.
After the leak, the Origin Universe no longer attempted to conceal itself. Instead, it started to operate openly.
Through the ubiquitous internet, the Origin Universe spread information about the Tai Hao civilization, including their impending arrival, and promoted its own goals and principles.
“Our ideal is to invite the Tai Hao civilization to reform the Blue Civilization, curb humanity's madness and evil, and restore Blue Star to a harmonious, prosperous, and sinless world. Those who agree with our ideals are welcome to join us. Our organization is rapidly expanding, with members scattered throughout the world.”
“Under our guidance, the Blue Civilization will become better, fairer, wealthier, and more advanced.”
“Destroy the tyranny of mankind! The world belongs to Tai Hao!”
This slogan quickly spread across the internet and, subsequently, throughout the entire Blue Civilization.
Initially, all Blue people dismissed the declaration as a joke.
Until the sky was veiled by an invisible curtain, daytime turned into a black night without light, and various light patterns formed a sentence.
(You are all bugs)
Everyone finally believed it.
A powerful alien civilization had set its sights on Blue Star and had already dispatched a fleet towards the Golden Crow System.
Many people felt hopeless.
Large-scale protests and riots broke out around the world, demanding explanations from the governments.
In a short period of time, the entire society plunged into turmoil.
Even worse, many, unable to see a future for their civilization, chose to join the Blue Rebels!
“There are actually so many people who have become completely hopeless about the Blue Civilization, who hate and betray their own species, even considering the act of destroying themselves and their descendants as the highest ideal!”
“Are these people crazy!!!”
At an International Alliance conference, the representative of the Middle Kingdom Republic roared loudly in the hall. He couldn't understand the choices and ideologies of those individuals.
In the holographic image, the endless list, with names densely packed like ants, was extremely disturbing.
It was as if civilization was on the verge of destruction.
Many people recognized familiar names on that extensive list.
Among them were members of the upper echelon of intellectual circles, prominent political figures, and economic elites.
The only solace was the relatively neutral response from the general populace.
Ordinary people lacked the comprehensive and profound understanding of humanity's negative aspects that intellectuals possessed.
As their thoughts were less influenced by modern science and philosophy, their instinctive sense of identification with their species remained strong.
To betray humanity as a whole was inconceivable to them.
But the intellectual elite was different.
Many among them had long been contemplating matters outside the realm of civilization.
Through its modernization, the Blue Civilization had finally fostered a powerful alienating force within itself.
A year later, Adam's genetic weapon research was successful.
As an anti-human, anti-social individual, Adam didn't hesitate to launch a terrorist attack.
The genetic virus, specifically designed to target the Blue human genome, was incredibly powerful.
This genetic virus was highly contagious and deadly. In just a month, it caused the deaths of 65 million people.
Especially in Adam's region, the West State, the death toll reached 10 million, accounting for one-twentieth of the West State's population.
Fortunately, through the concerted efforts of various countries, a vaccine was developed with the utmost speed. Otherwise, the Blue Civilization might have been wiped out by the genetic virus.
Later, Adam, leveraging the power of the Blue Rebels, launched a rebellion.
The rebels were full of momentum, equipped with sophisticated weaponry, and, with the help of core members, possessed the strategic nuclear deterrence capability of a triad strike.
In just three years, the Blue Rebels seized control of one-fifth of the West State's territory.
During the war, the Blue Civilization was on the brink of nuclear war multiple times.
Adam, intoxicated by victory, became completely insane and wanted to launch a nuclear war to wipe out humanity, but was eventually killed by his own subordinates.
Although Adam was dead, the achievements of the Blue Rebels remained.
The Blue Rebels established a nation called "Origin Nation" in the territories they now controlled.
A nation belonging to the Blue Rebels.
The formidable military strength displayed by the Blue Rebels raised a strong sense of vigilance in all major powers, leading to a massive purge of those who had joined the rebels.
Furthermore, countries had begun collaborating, preparing to completely eliminate Origin Nation!
······
Wars raged on Blue Star, and society was in turmoil.
But 3.7 light-years away, the Star River Empire was developing rapidly in a peaceful and stable environment.
The Star River Empire spent eight years completing its infrastructure construction.
Highways, railways, airports, radio, water conservancy projects, telephone communication systems, and power transmission systems.
In addition, there was significant development in medical care, education, and cultural dissemination.
The Star River Empire had fully entered the electrical age.
After calculations, the Zhizi One concluded that the time was ripe to awaken the hibernating Tai Hao.
After waking up from hibernation, Tai Hao eagerly called for the civilization upgrade system.
After system evaluation, the Star River Empire had passed the steam age and entered the electrical age.
Upon completion of the evaluation, Tai Hao couldn't wait for the system to hand over the reward for clearing the stage.
“After the steam age, the empire has entered the electrical age. So, the next era would be the information age, right?”
Tai Hao asked the system while examining his reward for clearing the stage.
【After the electrical age comes the atomic age.】
Tai Hao was stunned. Atomic age? "Could it be e=mc2."
【While the description isn't entirely accurate, the mass-energy equivalence equation is one of the necessary conditions.】
Tai Hao understood. The next step would be to delve into the microscopic atomic level and open the door to atomic energy.
