Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1298 - 493: Survival Philosophy (Part 2)

After a brief rest, the Source Star Fleet slowly departed from the Observatory Space Station, progressively approaching the entrance of the Fold Jump Subspace Channel with the assistance of the Light Navigation Ship dispatched by Wen Yuanbo.

As the days to reach the destination drew closer, more people who were initially in frozen slumber within the fleet began to wake up and move outside. At this time, the activation rate of personnel in the fleet exceeded 95%.

The total population of the fleet was nearing four billion, and such high-frequency personnel activities temporarily caused a shortage of living space and overcrowding within the fleet.

Fortunately, Ju Qingmeng promptly proposed a new management mechanism, initiating a more comprehensive basic education throughout the fleet, laying the foundation for the subsequent knowledge cultivation. As soon as Ren Zhong completed the record, Sun Ai promptly connected with the Empire Super Network and obtained Earl-level knowledge authorization from the Royal Academy of Sciences, thus commencing comprehensive learning of advanced knowledge.

Whether adults with certain working abilities, or children and youth who were not yet mature, or soldiers originally focused on combat skills, all entered classrooms newly established inside various transport ships and armed battleships under the guidance of numerous mid-high level scholars.

Ren Zhong told the residents that the technological level of the Mechanical Empire far surpassed that of the Source Star.

For Source Star humans, integrating into the Empire is not simply finding a planet to reside on the frontier territory.

The Mechanical Empire is still surrounded by formidable foes. Although human society in the Nanxiang Star Cluster has existed for millions of years, it has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times. The last catastrophe that hit the Nanxiang Star Cluster was only tens of thousands of years ago.

Therefore, the true essence of integration goes far beyond geography, encompassing more knowledge and productivity. Nowadays, most Source Star humans, compared to Empire humans, can be said to be illiterate.

"The knowledge we were once proud of actually represents outdated technology of the Mechanical Empire from a million years ago. There is no need to feel inferior or lose self-esteem for this because most of the residents who return from Tracer colonies are like this. They can only engage in the most basic work, responsible for extracting raw materials. Well, and providing some human brains, then breed generation after generation supported by the synthetic food like livestock feed, slowly waiting for extinction. This extinction may not be in the physical sense, but also possibly in the cultural sense."

"Perhaps only a few truly top geniuses can break free from such fate and elevate to the next level, escape the lowest societal strata, become a lifetime Baron, then like those frozen Elders who once exploited us, exploit others, striving for a hereditary Barony."

"But I believe the limits of Source Star humans are not confined to this. The emergence of unstable Fold Jump technology has already proved the scientific potential of Source Star humans. I think the Source Star civilization can attempt to break away from the lowest-level raw material production phase, transform from an agriculturally conceptual civilization into an interstellar industrial civilization, or even a research-oriented civilization, or a military civilization. We possess the potential and opportunity. I personally have obtained the Earl rank, and the greatest benefit it brings is that, as my citizens, your starting point is higher than most of the other planet residents in the Nanxiang Star Cluster, even capable of obtaining Earl-level research results."

"Therefore, I hope you can set aside inferiority, also set aside pride, start seriously reading now, learn knowledge, and quickly transform this originally unfamiliar knowledge into your own wealth, and join me in changing the current situation and future of Source Star civilization."

Ren Zhong’s brief speech achieved a notable effect, and those newly-minted Empire citizens, who were somewhat aimless, immediately grasped the new philosophy of survival.

The right tool is needed to perform a job well.

No matter what one wants to become, no matter where Source Star civilization ultimately heads, or what heights it can reach, earnestly studying now to rapidly learn new knowledge is surely the right thing to do.

If the universe weren’t a vacuum, the navigation ship at the forefront would witness a spectacle.

The sound of reading emitted by over thirty billion people is enough to break free from the ship, resonating throughout the cosmos.

Of course, similarly fervent activity took place four light years away on Source Star.

Two hundred thirty billion people were also indulging in the feast of newfound knowledge.

Half an hour before the Tracer Spaceship entered the Fold Jump Subspace Channel, Ren Zhong received a phone call personally made by the head of the immigration settlement at the Nanxiang Star Cluster’s Military and Political Center.
