Within the solar system.
The battle concluded with a gathering of heroes on the planet Blue.
The Federation of All Star Systems in the galaxy has arrived.
Seeing this, Mo Chen immediately ordered everyone to go to the moon for a meeting. It was a spacious place, and the oxygen problem was not an issue for cultivators.
The universe is also full of spiritual energy.
Moreover, the people attending the gathering were all strong individuals.
"Chief Advisor, we were able to fight this battle so easily thanks to you. Otherwise, we don't know how many cultivators would have had to sacrifice to wipe out those beasts."
The higher-ups chatted idly, one sentence at a time.
Mo Chen was surrounded by a throng of people, like stars around the moon.
"Not at all. It's all thanks to Elder Xiao and other powerful figures who kept the Zerg army outside the Milky Way. I only played a supporting role."
Mo Chen smiled.
At that moment, Xiao Tianzong arrived with a group of his men.
"Haha, you're still so modest. You deserve a lot of credit for this battle. Just tell me if there's anything you want, and I'll give it to you if I can provide it."
Mo Chen looked over upon hearing the voice and stepped forward to greet the person, saying, "Elder Xiao, you flatter me. But I do have something I'd like to ask for."
Seeing Mo Chen's mysterious expression, Xiao Tianzong waved his hand and said, "Speak freely."
Mo Chen's eyes darted around as he whispered, "I want the Galactic Federation's database."
"Huh? This..."
Xiao Tianzong looked on in astonishment. You little brat, you actually had this kind of crazy idea.
After glancing at the people around him, he pulled Mo Chen aside and set up a soundproof barrier to begin their detailed conversation.
"I didn't expect you to want this. To be honest, unless you're the star system commander appointed by the Federation, you're not qualified to view the database, let alone copy the data inside."
"However, since I have appointed you as the Chief Technology Advisor of the Galaxy, I will naturally get you what you want."
I have looked at the database, but given the technological means you demonstrated in the battle just now, it wouldn't have been useful even if I had. Some of the technologies overlap.
Not to mention the two-dimensional foil technology you're using; we don't even have that. That technology is still controlled by the Federation.
Xiao Tianzong said.
Mo Chen said nonchalantly, "The purpose of me needing a database is to be all-encompassing. There are always aspects in a database that I haven't covered. Combining different aspects can provide me with ideas and promote the development of science and technology."
The main purpose was actually to copy the database to Brother Fan for research, to see if he could come up with a high-tech method for cultivating immortality.
As for my own research, well... I don't have any capable people under me yet, so I'll have to train them slowly.
During this time, only Fan Ge can take his place, and I can just follow behind and catch up.
"I see. I'll copy the data for you after the banquet."
Xiao Tianzong didn't think much of it. Since it was for the technological development of the Milky Way, he was willing to do it.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two returned to the banquet.
The others immediately gathered around.
"Chief Advisor, what technology was used to trigger the chain reaction of the spatial torrents during the previous battle? Could you reveal a little about it?"
"Oh, this... it involves these things..."
Mo Chen didn't hide anything from them and began to explain the underlying principles.
Everyone listened very attentively, afraid of missing any key points, and even recorded the screen on the spot so they could replay it later to understand the principles and study it slowly.
People kept asking questions.
As long as it's not some key core technology, Mo Chen will speak his mind without reservation. After all, they're all part of the big family in the Milky Way, so promoting one or two wouldn't be bad.
Moreover, the further the development progresses, the more manpower is needed, and Mo Chen has already begun planning to unify all star systems.
All of you, come and work for me.
After the banquet, everyone went home.
Mo Chen was also waiting for Xiao Tianzong's data copy package.
The other party acted swiftly, and not long after returning, they copied the database and personally delivered it over.
"You can keep studying it, kid. The future of technology in the Milky Way will be in your hands."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao, don't worry. Since you trust me, I won't let you down."
By the way, do you have any plans to unify all the star system federations? After all, in my opinion, technological competition between them is good, but mutual technological blockade is a major drawback.
Mo Chen suddenly brought it up.
In his view, the world's technology is fundamentally flawed. Previously, he lacked the status to do more than complain; now that he has the ability, he naturally wants to make progress.
It's good for science and technology to develop in a diverse and open manner, but implementing a technology blockade strategy has both advantages and disadvantages.
But in his view, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, which is not good.
"Well... how should I put it..."
Xiao Tianzong frowned; he was well aware that this was a major drawback.
But there's not much we can do.
"At the beginning of technological development, everyone was very willing to share technology, but after hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, the current situation has been created."
Xiao Tianzong glanced at Mo Chen and sighed.
"As you know, in terms of modern civilization, we have never encountered other civilizations, nor have we had any external enemies to urge us on. Over time, this will naturally lead to the formation of different schools of thought and different forces."
Just like the dynasties of ancient times, the court was filled with powerful forces and intertwined interests. Cultivators are still human after all, and humans have desires. Without desires, one is not human.
Saints... Saints are just an ideal form and will not appear in reality. What about being without desires and pursuing the Tao with one mind? In the end, isn't it still desires that are at play?
Isn't the Dao the same thing? It's just that those people value the Dao and give up other things, but their pursuit of the Dao is no different from that of those who pursue material interests.
The former merely appears to be cloaked in a veneer of detachment, presenting an image of a saint; the latter, however, wears a worldly mask, churning the mundane world.
“If you stand in their way of pursuing the Dao, see if they don’t strike you down.”
Xiao Tianzong shared his opinion.
Mo Chen's lips twitched. After careful consideration, he had to admit that something was off.
"I seem to have gone off on a tangent. Let's get back to the topic we were just discussing."
Mo Chen said.
"Well, it's not unrealistic to unify all star systems, but there's a prerequisite."
Xiao Tianzong said meaningfully.
Mo Chen pondered for a moment: "Common interests...?"
"That's right. In the end, it all comes down to interests. Without interests, who would follow you? Some people pursue fame, some pursue money, some pursue desires, some pursue spiritual self-satisfaction, and so on. All of these are for the pursuit of interests."
Everyone has different standards for measuring interests, and the value that different times and things bring to them is also different.
Previously, without external enemies, they might have been resistant, or doubtful and not fully committed. But this current invasion is precisely such an opportunity.
Xiao Tianzong nodded.
"If you want to unify all star systems, I naturally have no objection. On the contrary, I will fully support you. It all depends on how you do it."
Mo Chen said nothing more after hearing this.
