Monsters Are Coming

Take the relatively short history of human physics development.

In the early stages, the content of physics was very limited, focusing only on initial thoughts about the motion of objects.

But by modern times, Galileo laid some foundations of classical mechanics through experimental studies of free-fall motion, and the amount of knowledge began to gradually increase.

Subsequently, Newton, building on the research of his predecessors, proposed the Newton’s laws of motion and the Law of Universal Gravitation, establishing a complete system of classical mechanics.

During this period, the field of optics also saw initial development, such as the discovery of some basic principles of geometric optics.

The knowledge system of physics at this stage was relatively simple, and an individual could master the core knowledge of classical physics within a few years of systematic study, provided they received a good education.

Moving further, towards the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, physics underwent a major transformation.

Maxwell established the classical electromagnetic theory, with thermodynamics and statistical physics also developing, such as the proposal of the three laws of thermodynamics.

The amount of physical knowledge during this period increased significantly, and the mathematical expression became more complex. To enter this field, students not only had to grasp knowledge of classical mechanics but also delve into the new knowledge systems of electromagnetism and thermodynamics, possibly requiring over a decade to have a relatively deep understanding in these fields.

Later, the creation of quantum mechanics and relativity...

As the field of physics continues to develop, the amount of knowledge in this domain grows exponentially, requiring future generations to spend a lot of time learning existing knowledge before they can stand at the pinnacle of this domain.

When attempting to create new knowledge for this domain, life has already come to an end, long past the peak period of abundant energy.

The Moon Eclipse Clan encountered such issues back then.

At the starting stage of new field knowledge, a 10-year-old could complete the learning, but later, one enters the expansion stage, constructing new content for this knowledge system.

After this generation passes away, the accumulation of knowledge requires a 20-year-old to complete.

Then it becomes 30 years old, 40 years old... the accumulation of knowledge is like building a house, constantly extending upwards.

Until the newer generations need to spend a lifetime to reach the top floor, utterly unable to continue adding new floors to this knowledge system.

Thus, the expansion learning of subdivided fields emerged, breaking down knowledge into multiple systems, reducing the learning burden for future generations.

However, with the continual accumulation of knowledge systems, this problem still reaches a bottleneck.

Even the knowledge of branch fields requires future generations to learn for a lifetime, truly achieving an Endless Sea of Knowledge, with no way back.

Moreover, many systems’ knowledge complements each other and cannot be classified.

Various issues plagued the major kingdoms of the Moon Eclipse Clan at that time.

How to break the impasse, the two strongest kingdoms of the early Moon Eclipse Clan proposed two solutions respectively.

One was a kingdom of the Moon Eclipse Clan called Aizer, troubled by the short span of life for a long time, many distinguished scholars and wise individuals departing before completely passing on their lifetime of knowledge and experience.

Thus, the Moon Eclipse Clan of Aizer Kingdom turned their attention to Genetic Modification Technology.

They invested substantial resources and energy, researching the mysteries of racial genes, and through continuous experiments, sought to modify defects in the gene chain, extend the cell division cycle, thereby increasing individual lifespan.

In their view, only by having a longer lifespan can more abundant knowledge be accumulated, allowing civilization and technology to develop more deeply in all aspects.

On the other side, the Moon Eclipse Clan of the Saisibo Kingdom believed that Mechanical Ascension was the best way to achieve eternal life.

They thought the flesh was too fragile, prone to illness, aging, filled with various uncertainties.

To address this issue, the Moon Eclipse Clan of Saisibo focused on perfectly integrating consciousness with machinery.

Starting from the development of prosthetics, ranging from simple mechanical limbs to complex artificial organs, they gradually replaced the fragile biological parts.

The ultimate goal was to completely upload consciousness into mechanical carriers, allowing life to be free from the constraints of time and flesh, existing in a brand-new form of life.

Going forward, it would only be necessary to continually replace old body parts to achieve the concept of mechanical eternal life.

The first direction was: gene modification, extending lifespan.

The second direction was: mechanical ascension, eternal life.

Research on these two directions started simultaneously.

In addition, many other kingdoms of the Moon Eclipse Clan chose different directions.

For instance, some kingdoms of the Moon Eclipse Clan wanted to address the development bottleneck by rapidly digesting knowledge, which means enhancing learning efficiency and improving learning ability.

Fierce wars broke out among various kingdoms of the Moon Eclipse Clan over the resources needed for development.

After the war ended, the major kingdoms were still unable to solve the development bottleneck.

Thus, the high ranks of different Moon Eclipse Clan kingdoms chose to negotiate for peace.

The starting point of the modern Moon Eclipse Clan was born during this negotiation.

The major kingdoms united as the Pillar Clan (Moon Eclipse Clan), where "pillar" represents the cornerstone supporting the tribe, and is a stabilizing force for development.

To resolve endless disputes, the concept of AI regulation for the Moon Eclipse Clan was proposed to ensure future development would no longer focus on the interests of a small privileged class, and AI would aim the direction of future development at the entire Moon Eclipse Clan’s future.

The Star Network was thus born, built on the basis of the "Mechanical Ascension" technology of the Saisibo Kingdom at that time.

What surprised the members of the early Moon Eclipse Clan was that the birth of the Star Network actually solved the development bottleneck.
