Galaxy Domination Guide

Bai Zhongqi casually took out a device the size of a phone, a "transparent glass panel" that looked deceptively simple yet was in fact an intelligent device. With a light tap of his finger, a holographic image shot directly up from the transparent screen, which he could manipulate simply by touching the holographic image.

As Academician Ding marveled at this novel intelligent device, Bai Zhongqi said:

"This intelligent device contains all the Star Alliance concepts and details proposed by Iridium Star. It is equipped with artificial intelligence, so Academician Ding, you just need to give voice commands. There is no need to learn any operating steps."

As he handed the intelligent device to Academician Ding, the academician handled it as if it were a huge bar of gold, deeply impressed by the intelligent device emitting holographic light.

Bai Zhongqi continued, "Your side can also use this device to directly contact the diplomats of the United Empire. Naturally, this device also has many other functions, such as a computing speed of over 20,000 TFlops, and it is loaded with many practical civilian and industrial-grade simulation software, and so on.

Um, should you wish, it can also connect to and use data services from all telecommunications operators on Earth for free. For charging, the technicians from Iridium Star have provided you with a base; when plugged into a 220V power socket in Country C, it offers wireless charging within a 30-meter range, and it would need to be charged for a few hours. Once charged, it can last for over 60 days."

Academician Ding couldn't imagine that such a small and exquisite intelligent device could match a supercomputer in computing speed. For instance, China's Tianhe-2 supercomputer, which long dominated the top spot in supercomputer rankings, has a sustained computational speed of 33,862.7 TFLOPS.

The miniature intelligent device that Bai Zhongqi tossed to him, which is essentially a cell phone for the people of Iridium Star, achieved two-thirds of the computational performance of Tianhe-2 with the size of a palm, integrating 32,000 Ivy Bridge processors and 48,000 Xeon Phi co-processors, totaling 3.12 million compute cores.

What Academician Ding didn't expect was that this "supercomputer phone," which seemed invincible to him, wasn't the intelligent device used by the people of Iridium Star.

Instead, it was an obsolete device, several generations behind the mainstream technology of Iridium Star, designed and produced by Atomic Substance Construction equipment just a few hours earlier at Bai Zhongqi's command in Ruyi City. Intelligence devices on Iridium Star are required to have very strong computing and data processing capabilities to run powerful artificial intelligence.

Computing power is crucial for the development of a society and civilization—the stronger the overall computing power of a society, the more and the more complex scientific research and production design it can complete. The greater the personal computing power shared by the citizens of a society, the more complex production, daily life, and entertainment activities they can engage in.

Academician Ding, holding the intelligent device he treasured, was awash with emotions. The device looked like a plastic glass panel, felt very nice in hand, and was extremely sleek with no apparent separation of parts—it was one whole unit. Academician Ding found it hard to imagine how Iridium Star people managed to incorporate so many complex functions into a single material.

He was also well aware that with Earth's current level of technology, it was not just about replicating the device, but even understanding its principles was completely impossible. Wanting to research it, one wouldn't even know where to start.

Seemingly aware of Academician Ding's awe at the moment, Bai Zhongqi said timely, "If Country C is willing to form a Star Alliance with Iridium Star, the United Empire will assist Country C in a comprehensive upgrade of its industrial lines, and the technology to manufacture similar intelligent devices will also be at Country C's disposal.

Moreover, Country C could mass-produce more products far beyond the current technological levels of Earth."

In the plan to win over Country C, a large amount of high-tech was an essential bargaining chip. Bai Zhongqi, being selective, was offering technologies that could trigger a technological revolution on Earth, and he even consulted with the Scientific Research Institute and Ministry of Industry of the Empire, not expecting the Iridium Star people to be even less concerned about these technologies.

To them, the technologies Bai Zhongqi had selected were trifles they looked down upon, many of which were leftovers from Iridium Star a millennium or two ago. When Iridium Star had developed Administrative Star or engaged in technological trade with other civilizations, these technologies were thrown around everywhere.

One of the major production technologies Bai Zhongqi primarily intended to leave to Country C was named "Advanced Neuron Integrated Production Line." This technology was mainstream in manufacturing on Iridium Star two thousand years ago, and Atomic Substance Construction was, in fact, an advanced node lighted in this technology tree.

Bai Zhongqi found that this technology could be spelled out as Advanced-Neuron-Integrated-Manufacture-Assembly-Line, whose acronym conveniently spelled ANIMAL, thus he began referring to the technology either as an "ANIMAL production line" or simply as a "neuron production line."

The neuron production line integrates processes such as material smelting and preparation, molding and assembly, completing the processing and production of products in one go. Similar to Atomic Substance Construction, it has a very strong universality and can produce a variety of products.

However, its universality in terms of materials generated and categories is far inferior to that of Atomic Substance Construction equipment. The neuron production line still involves industrial robots, metallurgical and chemical apparatus, 3D printing, and control panels requiring manual operation.

Yet, it already has the rudiments of Atomic Substance Construction, and in the manufacturing industry, it is more than capable of obliterating all current Earth-based production manufacturing.

However, expecting Country C to fully understand how to manufacture neuron production lines was completely unrealistic, even Bai Zhongqi himself knew that. The intricacies involved would require Country C scientists and industrialists to digest over a thousand years' worth of knowledge and experience. Not being able to build it was not a big deal as long as they could use it.

By inputting a product's design into the neuron production line, it would enable mass, high-speed production. Bai Zhongqi had directly preset the designs and processes in the neuron production line for some of the advanced goods assisted by Iridium Star, so Country C could produce them independently.

The productivity brought about by the neuron production line was enough to satisfy the material and even cultural needs of the nation's population by dozens of times, fundamentally transforming their lives. Simultaneously, with Bai Zhongqi's transfer of the neuron production line to Country C, there was a deeper "scheme" in place.

Even modern industrial robots were rapidly replacing human labor, causing severe employment issues globally. Once Country C scaled up its neuron production lines, massive unemployment would inevitably occur. It would be difficult for Country C to adjust its national system and social security to support these unemployed populations. So, what was to be done with these unemployed people?

Bai Zhongqi offered a solution from the Star Alliance—immigrate to the United Iridium Star Empire or follow the Alliance's immigration ships to other habitable planets in the Galaxy to live.

Every scientific and technological advancement has a destructive aspect, and Bai Zhongqi, a graduate student studying economics and social sciences, was keenly aware of this. Providing technology to improve lives was one thing, but more importantly, Bai Zhongqi was preparing to use these scientific technologies to transform human society.

Right now, Academician Ding and other scientists and officials from Country C might not yet fully realize this issue, but when the first domino falls, the boiling tides of history will sweep over Earth, and the development of productive forces will be unstoppable.

What could ensure the strength and dominant position of the United Iridium Star Empire during this process was not just its military force. Bai Zhongqi was initiating a historical trend, pushing the development of history so that all Earthlings were forced to closely bind themselves to the Iridium Star.

An architecture for the Star Alliance may seem like a good method, but in actuality, it was only the first step in releasing this flood and fierce beast.

Academician Ding was still entrapped by a great sense of happiness, but Bai Zhongqi brought up an urgent issue.

"During this visit, we've encountered an unknown intellectual parasitic entity that could cause great destruction to human society and challenge our existence. We're still unclear about the number and status of these parasites on Earth, but erring on the side of caution, I believe that both Iridium Star and Country C must be highly vigilant in facing this issue."

Academician Ding took this very seriously; it was hard to imagine a society filled with extraterrestrial parasitic entities wearing human skins. If these entities were indeed breeding in large numbers and usurping human bodies on Earth, humanity might even face the disaster of extinction.

Bai Zhongqi's expression was grave as he said, "The Empire's Scientific Research Institute has named this entity the Brain Worm, as it obviously possesses the ability to curl up inside the human cranium, imitating the shape of the brain, which means that even X-rays may not completely identify it.

However, the Scientific Research Institute has developed detection methods for this parasite, and I'll provide you with these tools, Academician Ding. I hope you will test the people around you, including some high-level individuals, to verify their status before briefing your side on this severe issue.

The Scientific Research Institute is continuously developing more effective and convenient ways to detect Brain Worms, and when ready, we will provide them to all the nations of Earth to comprehensively eradicate this contemptible parasite."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After hearing Bai Zhongqi's assurance, Academician Ding also breathed a sigh of relief. Faced with these strange extraterrestrial entities, the Earth's nations on their own might find it very difficult to manage, so the assistance from Iridium Star was naturally more reassuring.

As this secret meeting drew to a close, Academician Ding couldn't help but ask Bai Zhongqi, "Chancellor, I am merely a scientist from Country C, why have you chosen me as the messenger to convey all this?"

Bai Zhongqi smiled naturally and said, "Ordinary bureaucrats might struggle to truly understand what the construction of the Star Alliance and cooperation with Iridium Star will mean. You, on the other hand, have a deeper insight into all this. Moreover, you have diligently served our country on a dedicated post for fifty years.

Such integrity is not only trusted and admired in Country C but throughout the entire universe."
