1949 The Creation Engine
After everything was ready, Civilization triggered a spirit storm and tore apart the four-dimensional gap. They passed through higher dimensions and the boundless, barren areas in the sea of stars, and threw their Kindling to the new fertile area on the other side of the galaxy.
Once the Kindling detected and arrived at a new terrestrial planet with suitable conditions, it immediately began its work.
Initially, several hundred nanomachines were released, and they marched across the primitive planet in all directions.
The bodies of the nanomachines were very fragile. Most of them were destroyed by volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and raging storms that occurred everywhere on the primitive planet.
However, a few nanomachines survived and successfully found crystals as well as metal veins.
After that, the nanomachines worked day and night to absorb the energy and nutrients in the crystals and metal veins. As such, they were able to replicate themselves in the blink of an eye.
One life begets two, two begets three, three begets all things.
The number of nanomachines increased exponentially, from a million to ten million, and from ten million to a trillion. Then, they assembled into different units with different functions according to their original design. With that, the Kindling entered the second phase to carry out its most important task, which was to create life.
The birth of life on Earth was extremely difficult.
However, it was not a problem in a world with abundant spirit energy.
Almost as soon as the deep ocean on this primitive planet cooled to the point where organic matter could survive, the first life was born.
With the help of the nanomachines and a genetic map, the evolution of life became even more rapid.
Following that, two changes happened on the vibrant and thriving terrestrial planet at the same time.
For one, the carbon based life forms that Civilization had found on various planets in its galaxy appeared on the new planet one by one. Guided by the genetic map, these life forms steadfastly developed into an “individual civilization” on their home planet.
In the process, the interactions between the creatures and nature changed the natural environment imperceptibly. This made the ecosystem of the terrestrial planet more similar to Civilization’s home planet.
On top of that, the nanomachines were still underground and working loyally around the Kindling.
They dug underground mines to provide more space for the Kindling to level up.
Then, components that were composed of different forms and functions were installed on the Kindling. They were unbelievably precise and made it stronger.
Soon, the surface world evolved into a land where giant reptiles ruled, and the Kindling completed its most important upgrade. It gained the ability to cross four-dimensional space and exchange information with its home planet.
Their communication was not in real time, and the information that could be exchanged was also quite limited. Nevertheless, those who had been waiting on their home planet for a long time were still ecstatic.
The echoes from afar brought new hope.
Their journey was not over, and the great Civilization was still advancing!
They immediately sent information about the latest technology to their new home on the other side of the Milky Way.
Its original four-dimensional transmigration technology could only teleport objects the size and mass of a head.
However, current technology allowed them to transmit things the size and mass of a skyscraper or a giant warship when there was sufficient energy and the conditions were right.
There was even a chance that they could transmit living beings! In their distant new home, the Kindling, who had obtained new technology, continued to upgrade.
Rocks, soil, animal and plant samples from their new home would be sent back to their home planet through the new technology.
Studying these samples would allow them to ultimately provide more targeted help to their new home.
Their home planet had also consumed precious energy and transferred a lot of things that were extremely important to the birth and evolution of civilizations to their new home.
After a period of time, the rapid evolutionary journey in their new home became even faster.
On the ground, intelligent carbon-based humanoid creatures were finally born.
With blessings from their home planet, they instantly matured.
Be it their appearance, internal organs, brain structure, way of thinking, wisdom, courage, indomitable willpower, or curiosity toward the endless unknown, these civilizations that were born on the other side of the galaxy were on the same level as their compatriots on another faraway planet.
Deep under the ground, the Kindling had been upgraded into a behemoth with complicated, sophisticated structures and extremely advanced functions.
Not only did its ability to exchange information with its home planet improve greatly, but those on the planet could also learn everything that was happening in their new home with a slight delay.
In fact, when necessary, the Kindling could even trigger an extremely powerful magnetic field that could envelop all matter and life within hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. This would allow it to pass through four-dimensional space safely and return to its home planet or even travel to any corner of the boundless universe.
At this stage of development, it was no longer possible to call this crucial module “the Kindling.” Hence, with awe and respect, it was referred to as the Creation Engine.
Above the Creation Engine, a glorious city that represented the most advanced technology, the most beautiful art, and the most harmonious social operation mode took form. Its completion was announced after the planet orbited a star ten times.
When the city used the Creation Engine to bring tens of millions of citizens back to their home planet unscathed, they were warmly welcomed by their compatriots.
The transmigration not only strengthened the connection between their home planet and new home, but it also provided the two sides with invaluable information, technology, and resources. They could exchange what they needed and improve together.
This also meant that the new method of establishing a territory was completely feasible.
After that, both sides regarded the development and upgrade of the Kindling or Creation Engine as a breakthrough to expand their civilization’s depth and breadth.
More and more Creation Engines with more and more powerful functions were developed and manufactured. They were then thrown into the deepest part of the vast universe.
The scenes of “creation” that happened in their new home were happening on a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand terrestrial planets at the same time.
The cold, dark, and dead universe was ignited by the fire of civilization almost instantly. It was full of vitality, sound, and light.
