"I really want to know, where did all those things go?" Zhu Runfa looked at the big dog's still shriveled belly, sweating profusely, and said with some disbelief, "This guy can eat me for a week." I ate everything in one go, and now there¡¯s no reaction at all. Could it be that this guy¡¯s stomach is a dimensional bag? ¡°Of course not! "The customer service girl shook her head and said, "Its body has been strengthened in all aspects now, and the same is true for its digestive system. Your little food was almost digested as soon as it entered the stomach, and there probably won't even be much residue left. " "All digested? Zhu Runfa was surprised, "But so many things have been digested and absorbed, so why does it have no effect on it at all?" " "Because there is not enough nutrition! "The customer service replied matter-of-factly, "Think about it, if a plane wants to fly three times the speed of sound, how much aviation gasoline is needed? If a person doesn't eat, he will probably become anemic if he runs ten kilometers. If he just made a fortune and ran at such a speed, doesn't he need a lot of nutrition? " "Uh, is that what it means? Zhu Runfa was a little confused after hearing this, "But I always felt that something was wrong." " "Of course that's what it says," the customer service girl said plausibly, "Whether an airplane burns oil or a living thing eats food, it is essentially a process of converting matter into energy and then consuming it again. If your food is converted into energy, do you think it can support the energy consumption of prosperous wealth? It ran at three times the speed of sound! " "It seems it seems to make some sense. "Zhu Runfa scratched his scalp in confusion, and then suddenly his heart suddenly lit up. He seemed to have grasped something key, but he couldn't figure it out clearly for a while. He frowned and thought hard, and finally he didn't dare. He said with certainty: "Xiaoshan, I asked you about energy civilization and technological civilization earlier. You asked me to ask about Wangcai. Isn't that what you were talking about? " "That's right! The customer service girl smiled and nodded in reply: "Why can a fifth-level energy civilization that is all illiterate be called a fifth-level civilization!" And a fifth-level technological civilization with an equally powerful body and advanced technology can only be a fifth-level civilization! The answer to this question is very simple, just two words: eat. " "Plop! Zhu Runfa stumbled and fell to the ground. Then he got up and shouted to the customer service girl with black lines on his face: "Little mountain!" Are you kidding me? You've been mysterious for a long time, and you didn't answer when I asked you about the difference. You asked me to experiment by myself. As a result, you told me that the difference between the two lies in eating. You are kidding me! You are definitely kidding me! " "Who is teasing you? "The customer service girl said dissatisfiedly, "I'm serious, the key difference between them is eating. Of course, talking about eating is just a superficial statement. In fact, it is a very complicated thing. After hearing this, Zhu Runfa frowned and thought for a long time to understand the difference. Finally, he gave up and said to the customer service girl: "Okay!" Please explain. Anyway, I can't understand the difference. Isn't it just a meal? Can it be related to such a high-level issue as civilization level? " "Of course it is relevant, and it is very important. "The customer service girl said, "Do you think it is so easy to maintain a strong body? Think about it, in your earthly army, if a lot of physical training is carried out, people must be supplemented with nutrients, and if there is a battle, high-calorie food must be distributed, otherwise it will be impossible to maintain physical strength in high-intensity battles. For the physical strength of the cosmic race, level four is just the threshold, and level five is considered the official cosmic race. That kind of body is so powerful. They are completely free from all the inherent limitations brought to them by the planet. Their bones will not become fragile because they live in a gravity-free environment, and their internal organs will not become weak due to living in a gravity-free environment. If they develop diseases after being away from the planet for a long time, they will not be killed by various cosmic rays because they lose the protection of the atmosphere. When they enter the planet, they can easily withstand the gravity acceleration of hundreds of G's. And someone like Wangcai can run three times the speed of sound. Yes! They are all very powerful, but all of this must have a prerequisite, that is, they must be full and have sufficient nutrition. An ordinary person only needs about two kilograms of food and water a day to meet his survival needs, while a blue whale needs 2 to 4 tons of krill every day to avoid starving to death. So how big is the difference in nutritional needs between an ordinary human being and an individual from a cosmic race? I think the gap with the blue whale is definitely bigger. At least the outcome of the blue whale going into space will not be much better than that of humans. " "Well! I can understand this," Zhu Runfa said with some embarrassment, "But now you seem to be going too far. We are talking about the difference in levels between energy civilization and technological civilization, right? Does it have anything to do with how much food the people of the universe eat? " "Of course it's relevant!" the customer service girl answered him, and then asked him a question, "How do you think the types and levels of civilizations are divided? And where do the standards of races in the universe come from?" "Uh! Isn't this divided by Mr. SAINATAN, the founder of the interstellar Taobao black market?" Zhu Runfa asked strangely, "Isn't it?" "Of course I know it was divided by Mr. SAINATAN," the customer service rolled his eyes, " What I asked was why he made such a classification in the first place. What was the standard basis? He couldn¡¯t just point to this and say that this is an energy civilization and that is a technological civilization, right? Many energy civilizations still use technological products after entering the universe, and they don¡¯t. Seeing that they are divided into technological civilizations? The same is true for the division of cosmic races. He can't just think that he is qualified to become a cosmic race just because he likes it, but not the unsatisfactory one, right? " "This "Zhu Runfa thought for a while and said, "I really don't know this. To be honest, I really haven't thought about it." "It's actually very simple." The customer service girl didn't show off, "It's something that happens to you people on earth almost every day. It's war. " "War? Oh I understand," Zhu Runfa suddenly nodded, "Indeed, war is the easiest way to distinguish these things. Is it because there were five people who were all illiterate? The first-level energy civilization defeated the fifth-level technological civilization, so the two levels are the same? " "That's right!" the customer service girl said, "Wars in the universe happen every day, and Lord SAINATAN has seen countless wars. . Originally, the divisions between the various civilizations in the universe were not very clear, and there was no such thing as a universe race. Most of the civilizations in the universe were roughly divided into levels based on the average combat power of their respective civilization's main battleships. The social system was still in the Middle Ages, and the energy civilization with almost no science and technology was naturally regarded as a primitive civilization that had just developed the fire of civilization. But then a classic cosmic war occurred, and it was this war that would The energy civilization, which was originally considered to be primitive civilization, was separated and the standard of the cosmic race was officially established. ""What kind of cosmic war was it?" Zhu Runfa asked curiously, "When did it happen?" "It was a long time ago. "It is said that it was in the ancient times of the universe," the customer service girl returned, "There is no record of the specific time and it cannot be checked, but the general story is widely circulated in the universe, so I will tell you the information I found. , this war is actually not big. At the beginning, it was just a routine occupation operation by a level five cosmic civilization against a newly discovered primitive civilization. Generally speaking, it is not difficult at all. In fact, that is still under the rule of religion. The medieval planet has almost no resistance under the call of religious personnel, and everyone has become a slave to this fifth-level civilization. If things end here, then there will be at most one more slave civilization in the universe. Perhaps after a few years, this civilization will die out on its own, and it will have no impact on the entire universe. But the problem is that the fifth-level civilization made a stupid decision. From the perspective of that fifth-level civilization, this primitive civilization race may not be worthy of being called an intelligent creature at all, because their civilization is too backward and has no use value for them. Even the most basic housekeeping robots are better than them. . They believed that instead of letting these guys occupy the planet alive, it would be better to destroy them directly and then take the planet as their own. At that time, the primitive civilization race, under the bewitchment of those religious personnel, had already regarded the people of the fifth-level civilization as gods, so they never thought of guarding against them. So, the massacre began In the end, there were only one million left on the entire planet. These one million people were transported to various colonial stars of this fifth-level civilization, and then kept in captivity in zoos, so that people could witness their bravery and kindness to backward civilizations. Well, although I don¡¯t know where the kindness lies, the official explanation says so. Then, things soon took a dramatic turn. These survivors living in the zoo spent the first difficult and frightening days. They were surprised to find that the guys they always thought were gods were actually so fragile inside. These so-called 'gods' are not as strong as their newborn babies. They need vehicles made of steel to run at the speed of sound. They need strong protective measures to safely break through the planet's gravity and reach outer space. In some colonial stars with harsh natural conditions, in order to isolate various rays from the universe, they even built canopies that can block the sun So primitive civilizations all have a common characteristic, which is to worship the strong. When that fifth-level civilizationWhen it fell from the sky, under the bewitchment of religious personnel, these rubes who had never flown into the sky naturally believed those lies and regarded this civilization as a god. Even when they were massacred, although their hearts were full of grief and anger, they were more resigned to their fate. Because in their view, it is natural for the strong to massacre the weak, and they themselves often do this. Moreover, they believe that they have no ability to resist their 'god'. However, when they discovered that these so-called ¡®gods¡¯ were actually so fragile, they naturally regarded themselves as strong. Thus, a huge disaster began. Centered on the zoos of various colonial stars, massacres broke out in all the more prosperous administrative planets of this civilization. These guys who came out of the zoo and met the civilians of this fifth-level civilization were like lions breaking into the flock of sheep. No, or it should be said that it is more like Superman breaking into the herd of sheep and kicking a few to death. The number of people imprisoned in each planet's zoo may not be large, but there will always be thousands. This is equivalent to thousands of supermen killing people on the earth at the same time without limit. Although the technology of the fifth-level civilization is advanced, the weapons are naturally very powerful. However, as civilians, they only have some self-defense weapons at most, and it is impossible for them to have powerful weapons. This is just like the United States on Earth. Citizens have the right to buy guns, but they cannot buy cannons. Well, maybe you can buy cannons, but you certainly can't buy cannonballs. "These self-defense weapons are as ridiculous as toys when used against supermen who can reach the speed of sound, and they are impossible to hit. Moreover, it is impossible to station a large number of troops inside a prosperous planet, just like the big cities on the earth, so by the time the fifth-level civilization reacted, countless planets had already fallen. The most unlucky thing was their capital star, which had the largest zoo there, and the number of the race imprisoned in it reached 100,000. As a result, the capital star was massacred immediately, leaving this fifth-level civilization completely without a leadership system. . When this fifth-level civilization once again established a new leadership system, they were shocked to find that except for a few planets without zoos, all developed planets were controlled by these primitive races. The surviving civilians on the planet became their hostages. Unless they used powerful weapons regardless of the casualties of these civilians, it would be impossible to wipe out these superhumans who used civilians as human shields. Of course, if it is really necessary, civilian casualties are acceptable for the continuation of civilization. But the terrible thing is that those developed planets also include 90% of industrial stars. If powerful weapons are really used, the entire civilization will be over. So they had no choice but to sit down and negotiate. But there is no doubt that the two races with a blood feud can't talk about anything at all, and it is impossible for the other party to accept the price offered by both parties. So a strange war began. The fifth-level civilization with absolute technological superiority had no powerful space battleships, but it was unable to use them because it was concerned about civilians and important industrial facilities. And that backward primitive civilization faced the problem in space. The warships inside were helpless, so the two sides could only engage in a small-scale ground war to stalemate each other. As time passed day by day, the fifth-level technological civilization discovered anxiously that this primitive civilization had begun to ask those who surrendered to them to teach them how to use technological weapons. With these weapons, coupled with their outrageously powerful bodies, one day these guys will become unstoppable. And this fifth-level civilization, after losing so many industrial planets, even basic weapon supplies have become a problem, so this fifth-level civilization has begun to rack its brains to research countermeasures. In the end, they believed that in order to solve the problem at the minimum cost, they could only make their bodies as strong as their opponents, and then start a fair fight with them on the ground. They took the body of this primitive race as a research direction, and finally used the body of this race as a standard to develop the first genetically modified fluid in the universe. This genetic modification fluid can make the bodies of their own race as powerful as the original race they transformed. Then they were pleasantly surprised to find that the bodies modified based on this race were so perfect. The sudden increase in physical combat power is just a trivial matter. What is more important is that as long as they are transformed, they can survive freely in the universe. The physiological discomfort that used to require a lot of equipment and drugs to eliminate now no longer exists for them. Since it was during an urgent war, they put it into actual combat after a short period of experimentation. They named this genetically modified fluid the ¡®Ladder of the Universe¡¯ and used it as a symbol of the land nation¡¯s true stepping into the universe. At the same time, they also invented the term "cosmic race" and called themselves the first true cosmic race. This is the origin of the so-called cosmic race. " "That's it," Zhu Runfa was attracted by the story told by the customer service girl. After savoring it carefully for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh, "???I thought that the origin of the name "Cosmic Race" is so tortuous, and that the genetic optimization liquid actually appeared because of this incident. So what happened next? Since the next fifth-level civilization accepted the transformation, it must have finally wiped out the primitive civilization and finally successfully recaptured the planet? Hmm No, according to what you said before, it seems that the primitive civilization defeated the fifth-level technological civilization, so in the future energy civilization and technological civilization can be compared. "That's right! You guessed it right," the customer service girl said with a smile, "Although the fifth-level civilization invented the genetic optimization fluid according to the physical standards of that primitive civilization, they did not delve into why the body of that primitive civilization was so powerful. By the way, do you think you can train your body to the speed of sound by just eating and drinking, plus some physical exercise? " "Of course it's impossible!" Zhu Runfa shook his head, "If that were the case, the whole world would be ruined. They are all supermen. " "The key to the problem is this!" the customer service girl said, "That fifth-level civilization doesn't know that the most difficult thing about that primitive civilization is not the strength of his body, but the reason for his body. "I think I already know," Zhu Runfa understood everything after hearing this, "They are powerful because their bodies can absorb the energy of nature. Think about it, this is the origin of the name energy civilization. "Yes! This is why Mr. SAINATAN named that type of civilization after this war," the customer service girl nodded, then spread her hands and said, "You already know it, but at that time That fifth-level civilization didn¡¯t know! After a short period of experiment, they transformed all the warriors, and then couldn¡¯t wait to send these warriors to the ground battlefield. Think about it, when that primitive civilization was fighting, Energy can be replenished from nature at any time, so they can fight for a long time, but the technological race of the fifth-level civilization is different! All their power comes from the food they eat every day. It doesn't matter if they don't fight at most. A larger meal can sustain daily needs. But in the event of a high-intensity battle, how much food do you think they need to eat in order to maintain such a strong fighting capacity?" Zhu Runfa suddenly shed a drop of cold sweat on his head after hearing this. He looked at Wangcai, who looked depressed, and his expression became speechless. There is no doubt that the fate of these guys will never be any better than that of Wangcai, and Wangcai It seemed that just a few minutes together, he was so hungry that he collapsed on the ground. "Then the biggest joke in the history of space war happened," the customer service girl couldn't help but laugh, "The fifth-level civilization at the beginning of the war was really awesome! After descending to the ground, those high-spirited commanders gave an order to transform those The super soldiers immediately rushed towards the primitive civilization's position like a tiger at full speed, frightening everyone in that primitive race to death, but the result" The customer service girl turned over at this point. He rolled his eyes, "But before they reached half the distance, they all fell down!" "Are you hungry?" Zhu Runfa couldn't help rolling his eyes. "Hungry!" The customer service girl nodded, "Everyone was fainting from hunger. In the end, that primitive civilization didn't even bother to take action and just let these guys starve to death. Then this primitive civilization won the war and occupied He took over that technological civilization and turned everyone in that technological civilization into his own slaves. Well, it is said that this civilization has now reached the sixteenth level!" "They all starved to death," Zhu Runfa said in embarrassment. Youshen said, "The founder of the racial standards of the universe ended up like this. Is this the most outrageous counterattack against a rich and handsome man I have ever heard?" "There is no way! Although it is hard to believe it if you say it," customer service The girl said, "But that's the fact. Now you understand why energy civilization can be regarded as a fifth-level civilization even if it is completely illiterate!" "But this seems to be based entirely on success or failure!" Zhu Runfa frowned and said, "If the war had happened in the universe at that time, and the fifth-level technological civilization didn't have to use rat-proof weapons, wouldn't they be dead? And according to what you said, if there is enough food, then I will transform all the people on the earth into level five , then it can¡¯t be called a fifth-level civilization?¡± ¡°In theory, it can be said that!¡± The customer service girl smiled, ¡°But there is another characteristic of energy civilization, that is, they can absorb energy and continue to upgrade. For them, level five physical strength is just a process, not an end. By reaching level nine civilization, they can survive in the universe without relying on any technological items, and it is not impossible to fight against battleships physically. Moreover, if they can continue to evolve. , then maybe one day we can become a top level 20 civilization. But an ordinary one.This is not the case for the cosmic race. Basically, the body with level five strength is the end point, because their body cannot absorb energy from the outside world at all. Do you still remember the bottle of level 10 genetic optimization fluid you bought? The combat effectiveness of that little crew cut didn¡¯t improve much after using it. Level 10 genetic optimization fluid, to put it bluntly, means that the success rate of optimization is higher and it is safer. Of course, other than biochemical civilization, it is another standard, which will not be discussed here. ¡°If I follow your advice now, all the bodies of the people on earth will be transformed into level five. So in addition to being physically stronger, you neither have developed technology nor can you absorb energy and evolve like an energy civilization. So why do you think you can be called a level five civilization? " Zhu Runfa was speechless when he heard this. Indeed, if this can be regarded as a fifth-level civilization, then civilization promotion is too simple. Just buy a genetic modification device. "And! The biggest question is," the customer service girl smiled, "do you really think there will be enough food? Just look at Wangcai and you will know that the food you eat for a week is not enough to fill the gap between people's teeth. If all the people on earth were really transformed, not to mention the improvement of civilization, it would probably take less than a week for all the people on earth who had eaten all the food in stock to starve to death. " "Well! It seems true." Zhu Runfa pressed his temples with a headache, "Then, what is the use of buying that genetic modification device? Is it just to create a prosperous fortune? " "Of course it works," the customer service girl said with a smile, "Isn't there still that Skalong and those earth cultivators that can be studied? They can also be regarded as energy civilization, and they may be able to research something by then. Well, let¡¯s not talk about this for now. Let¡¯s get Wangcai something to eat first, otherwise he will starve to death if this continues. Well, ordinary high-energy nutrient solution, specially designed for emergency nutrition supplementation for ordinary cosmic races. There are ten Star Coins each. Do I need to buy them? " "All right! Zhu Runfa looked at Wangcai, who was almost fainting from hunger, and sighed helplessly, "Then buy it!" We can't just watch it starve to death. We'll find a way later. "
