Chapter 369 – 35. Can You Feel the Difference in Power?
35. Can you feel the difference in strength?
The development of technological civilization is an inevitability of the universe.
Even if it is a distant coincidence, if it is in the bosom of the universe, it will surely happen.
The Genome Republic was also one of several civilizations that were subjected to that inevitable flow.
It has been 100 years since I was reborn as a multiplanetary species after going through countless wars, adversity, and trials. They have established themselves as a full-fledged space civilization with 4 star systems and 10 planets.
The military power was strong, and the quality of life also increased day by day with the resources extracted from the colonized planet.
The capacity of civilization soaring without knowing how high the sky is, and the belly fat becoming rich. People started to have their own thoughts, and they wanted to be accepted by claiming them high.
Without any problems, it seemed that their wishes would come true forever.
“Uh…?”
A colony plant for space research installed outside the genome system (star system).
Consisting mainly of astronomers, astronomers, technicians in each field, and their families, this place has been conducting various research related to the universe, but among them, it has been carrying out projects related to aliens.
In the old days, there were many discussions about whether there were aliens or not. However, as technology advances, this debate has become meaningless. It was only after the public learned about and accepted the ‘cosmic scale’ that they knew it.
That there can be no
Aliens obviously exist. This was a level of orthodoxy that had already reached a social consensus. The question now is about ‘Can I encounter them?’
Quite a few scientists were skeptical about this. Since the universe is so vast, it took an enormous amount of resources to jump to the nearest star system, only 3 to 5 light years away, and the time it took was several years.
The genome galaxy is approximately 220,000 light-years in diameter.
It is true that there are alien life forms, but the number is rare, so it is very difficult to meet each other.
Nevertheless, efforts have been made in academia. Because I knew that only effort and time would give me meaningful results.
“This, this… !”
That’s how a signal came to them.
Something caught on the wide and transparent display as if flickering. At first glance, such a minute thing that could just pass by attracted the attention of scientists at once.
2 hours after signal discovery.
All key government figures were summoned.
From ministers in charge of science and technology to diplomats and ministers of each military department.
While such signals have often been discovered before, this time it was just as certain.
“Is that true? No matter how much I think about it, it makes no sense.”
A man frowned and said. Wearing countless decorations all over his uniform, he looked quite aggressive.
Until now, he had carried out numerous missions by traveling around the universe with a fleet, but he had not even seen a ‘living’ alien life form. That’s why I believe that it is somewhere in the universe itself as common sense, but I was very skeptical about being able to meet it.
But today, how can I accept it lightly that I suddenly received a signal from an extraterrestrial life, and even an extraterrestrial ‘civilization’?
“It’s true.”
Of course, others understood his feelings his as well. Because it was enough.
The technical bureau officials who brought the information raised several evidences. Although it is still in the early stage of verification, it is no exaggeration to say that with this level of reliability, it is the first contact with an alien civilization in the genome. They couldn’t hide their excitement even after two hours had passed.
“Um… If this is real… Do you have a lot of work to do?”
“First, let’s assemble the fleet. Don’t you know what’s going to happen?”
The conference hall was buzzing.
I still had to do a lot of verification, but unlike before, it was a signal with a linguistic nature, so the possibility seemed very high.
4 hours after signal discovery.
The government has virtually acknowledged the first contact with an extraterrestrial civilization and has prepared various countermeasures. In preparation for an unexpected possibility, the space forces dispatched on missions were gathered and famous scholars and cryptography-related experts were called on standby.
And at the same time, this news was handled as a top secret so that it would not be leaked to the outside world.
“Wow… Is this real?”
But there are no secrets in a developed society.
A person who had the right to access, but had a ‘strong sense of citizenship’, released this fact and the minutes of the government’s meeting on the net. It was based on the fact that all citizens have the right to know.
The first people obviously didn’t believe it. However, the reliability of the signal, the government’s response in a fit of panic, the suddenly changed military deployment, and the identity of the person who decisively released the information gave them confidence.
-Ah. Oh Noblesse here. Noblesse here. The galaxy is wide. The universe is wider I don’t think we’ll be alone in this vast hollow… Anyone… Respond when you receive this signal… Hope you reply… The coordinates… (Abbreviation).. ..
To make matters worse, after a few days, the full text of the interpretation of the signal was spread all over the net.
People were hot, and society was in chaos.
Finally, the fact that you are not alone is placed in front of your eyes, not as a theory, but as a demonstration.
The government, which witnessed the chaos, eventually acknowledged it. And based on that firepower and support, a number of new projects for extraterrestrial civilizations were planned.
A group of civilian scientists have created a space beacon on their own. And he picked up 7 unsolved problems in the current physics world and launched them.
Since the signal’s originating location was approximately 190 light years away, it would have taken 380 years to receive a reply with genome technology, and it would have taken 300 years to communicate using jumps with all of the technology.
I did though Even though I couldn’t have a conversation with them in my lifetime, there was a sense of excitement about being on the scene in history.
It was the moment when the whole civilization was excited with the joy of meeting a comrade in space.

“There are several signals. One of them is interesting… I sent you a problem.”
“Five… The Seven Difficulties?”
In terms of genome technology, communicating beyond the speed of light was an overtechnology that required an enormous amount of capital, but to Sihwan, who had Bari, that much was nothing.
They had quantum communication technology that allows real-time communication from one end of the universe to the other.
“Yes. It’s natural that they can’t solve it at their level.”
“Heh… Didn’t I say I’d approach you amicably at first?”
“Yes.”
“Great.”
Sihwan smiled.
It feels like a fun toy.
“First of all, you replied to each and every one of them, and you sent those 7 puzzles, right? Tell me the answer too And you know their level of civilization, right? Then you know roughly what the challenge is. Pick a few of them out and let me know. One… So that we can jump in technology for about 50 years.”
“Oh. May I?”
“Isn’t there any particular problem?”
“No problem. But isn’t that too much grace?”
For a civilization that has developed into a space civilization, 50 years is a tremendous amount of time. How dare you give it away!
“When you catch and eat, you grow flesh to eat. That way, you won’t have any doubts, and you can enjoy eating more.”
“It is.”
Barry laughed evilly after him. At that moment, tens of thousands of replies to the genome have already been sent.

“The reply… I’m here… ?”
Next day.
The Genome Republic has been rocked once again.
Replies came one by one to the numerous messages I had sent with joy, excitement, and preparation for the future.
Jump over the vast distance of 190 light years! In one day!
In particular, the group of private scientists who selected and sent the 7 difficult problems could not control their bodies due to the goose bumps growing all over their bodies.
The 7 difficult problems, which were all regarded as harmless or equivalent, were resolved as a very neat and beautiful year.
Not enough of that, a reply came in quite detail about the myriad physical phenomena that scientists of the Genome Republic are currently struggling with, as well as the methods and means to use them.
They sent another message with trembling hands.
Thanks for the reply, I can’t even realize if this is a dream or reality. I am truly happy to meet you.
So I sent a message
The expectation that it would take about a day this time was wrong. I sent a message and got a reply almost immediately.
How?
Will there be time for messages to go? And there will be time to come, but how the hell?
The transmission speed of messages cannot exceed the speed of light without a special method. Even if you use the cutting-edge method of splitting information units into quarks and using supermassive bodies in the universe, it is only 20 to 30% faster.
But how?
Scientists were confused but ecstatic at the same time.
In the universe, in this wide universe, there was a teacher who would lead the weak and ignorant themselves.
And we finally met.
How could this not be happy! How can this not be ecstatic!
“Crab, master of the genome… !!”
