Chapter 387 - 386: Internal Troubles and External Threats
What shocked Wandering even more was when a scientist from the Metal Civilization suggested that "alien moons are rounder," many scientists agreed with the statement.
"I agree with you, Earth Civilization is indeed rich and vibrant, its history is an epic tale of twists and turns, and their civilization and culture are better suited for survival in the universe. If it weren’t for our longer development time, we would have probably been far surpassed by now."
"I have looked into Earth Civilization through Wandering; I think I have the most say in this matter. Earth Civilization was able to move planets to seek refuge in space when they were just a First-level Civilization. This is simply unthinkable, as many second-level civilizations may not be able to do this. But they knew how to equip planets with engines. They were indeed one of the first lower-level civilizations to elevate their thinking to this level. Although their current tech is still not up to par due to the short development time, they will surely surpass us one day."
"I think you are being too optimistic. When Wandering left the Wandering Alliance, Earth Civilization was already a 3.8-level Quasi-Fourth Level Civilization. Maybe they have already surpassed us. The ’one day’ you mentioned might have already passed. After all, they implement a communist system which allows them to concentrate their efforts on big projects. And I heard from Wandering that the Wandering Alliance has billions of scientists in reserve, which is simply outrageous. All the scientists our Metal Civilization has had since ancient times combined might not even amount to that number. Can you imagine how fast their technological progress must be with so many talented people?"
"Is it really that insane? I think we need a reform!"
"......"
In the discussion, the people of Metal Civilization really took the saying "alien moons are rounder" to its extreme.
Although from the structure of social civilization and developmental strength, the Wandering Alliance is indeed better off, or "rounder," but listening to these aliens incessantly praise Earth Civilization still gave Wandering the feeling that it was surreal, as this was a situation it had never encountered before.
At that time, a scientist asked, "Wandering, I want to confirm something. Is what he said true? Does the Wandering Alliance really have billions of scientists? This is too unbelievable. I’m not doubting your word, but this sort of thing seems like it would only happen in Heaven."
Wandering replied, "It is indeed true. The number of scientists in the Wandering Alliance may be even greater than that now."
