In the year 278 of the New Human Calendar, which is also the 278th year since the New Humans successfully overthrew the rule of Natural Humans and established the New World Management Agency, on the sixth day of November, at noon.
After nearly six hundred years.
The Ancient Humans finally dispatched a fleet back to their mother planet for a family visit.
The so-called Ancient Humans here refer to those humans who left their mother planet via spaceship nearly six hundred years ago and migrated to the nearest habitable planet.
Because they had already contacted the New World Management Agency before their arrival and had preliminary communication, their arrival did not cause any turmoil. Everything proceeded according to standard diplomatic procedures.
Upon reaching the vicinity of their mother planet, they were instructed to dock their spacecraft at the nearest Martian spaceship docking station.
Then, diplomatic personnel piloted small spacecraft.
They flew to the space station orbiting the mother planet. After a full body scan to ensure there were no hidden dangers, they took the space elevator from the space station directly to the surface of the mother planet.
This was followed by a friendly meeting between the two sides.
Information was exchanged and a treaty of friendly communication was signed.
After all this hustle and bustle, time quickly passed into the evening. Although the Ancient Human diplomats wanted to go out and explore, they were ultimately refused by the New Humans.
They were told that someone would personally escort them around tomorrow, and that it was late and they should rest today to conserve their energy.
Afterward, the New Humans went to hold an internal meeting.
Meanwhile, the Ancient Human diplomats, who had returned to the accommodation arranged for them by the New Humans, quickly conducted checks in their rooms, activated their information jamming devices, and began to discuss amongst themselves.
"The technological development here seems to be much better than we imagined. Although we haven't seen much on the way, what we have seen is indeed no less inferior to our own planet, and the degree of environmental pollution is frighteningly low.
It's very different from the records of that year!"
"Nearly six hundred years have passed, and it's normal for things to change. I never imagined that it would take us nearly six hundred years to barely establish ourselves on a new planet.
Those who stayed here also spent six hundred years restoring the mother planet's ecosystem. I really don't know if choosing to leave back then was the right decision."
"There's no right or wrong. Don't ever say such things again. Our ancestors chose to leave back then, so let's not question our ancestors' choice. Let's assume it was correct.
However, our original objective needs to change.
The current situation is clearly not suitable for making the mother planet an appendage to our planet as originally planned. Setting aside the distance, the gap in technological level between us is not significant. War would only result in mutual destruction, and verbal persuasion is even less likely.
Therefore, our objective this time must be to establish diplomatic relations and exchange as much information as possible, preferably obtaining more technological information from this side."
"Understood, we're not stupid."
"Tomorrow, we'll start observing more..."
After the discussion, the Ancient Humans quickly went to sleep, preparing to gather their strength for the battle tomorrow.
The next morning at eight o'clock, they were up early to enjoy breakfast and then began to urge the diplomatic representative of the New Humans to take them sightseeing.
They toured the entire day.
They reluctantly returned at nine o'clock in the evening.
Upon their return, they once again activated their information jamming devices and gathered together to discuss with a headache.
"Why is their technological development so strange? Why have resources like salt and minerals all become derived from plants? Why are there plants that can speak, and even plants rooted on an entire planet? They even plant them on gas giants to collect various energy substances.
This... this is simply outrageous!"
"Besides that, did you see?
The diplomatic representative we met and the accompanying personnel seemed to have superpowers. One could control fire, another could control electricity, and another could communicate closely with those plants, even manipulate them.
They said it was all because of extraordinary plants.
Some extraordinary plants could grant them superpowers.
Is this true or real, or are they trying to deceive us with magic tricks?"
"This seems a bit out of control. We're not sure how to handle it. Should we request assistance or something?"
"Don't panic, everyone. We can't let internal chaos erupt before others have even acted. Some of the things we saw today might be smoke screens, intentionally confusing us. We can't believe everything.
We'll see about the specifics later.
Let's gather information first and not be too hasty..."
Despite these words, the remaining people were still slightly bewildered, feeling that things were far beyond their imagination, and their original plans were basically unusable.
Later, they conducted further investigations here for a long time, paid certain prices, and achieved some exchanges. The two sides even exchanged a lot of technology and material goods. Years later, they were finally able to establish trade and learn about the true history of the past.
At the same time, they were allowed to share some extraordinary plants.
It was only then that the Ancient Humans truly believed that these New Humans, because of a woman named Fan Lihua, had embarked on a path of biological technological development that, while not completely contrary to their current development path, was indeed fundamentally unrelated.
Not only did they have long lifespans and adapt to the environment, but they also had many magical plants.
They could plant them on life-bearing planets, barren rocky planets, ice-covered planets, desolate planets, and even on planets that were essentially gaseous.
So far, they couldn't plant on stars, but they could plant on most other planets.
They were truly planting maniacs.
And the plants they cultivated were sometimes so enormous that the vines of a single plant could encircle an entire planet. Some were so useful that anyone who ate their fruit could awaken superpowers, and some plants could even drag small asteroids across the void, like planetary fortresses.
What was most terrifying was that they also had a type of decomposition bacteria.
No matter how strong the alloy, as long as it came into contact with the decomposition bacteria, it would be broken down into its most basic elements within a few minutes. For example, copper-iron-nickel alloy would quickly decompose into copper, iron, and nickel.
The alloy would simply fall apart.
Becoming elemental iron, copper, and nickel.
This one type alone made it impossible for the Ancient Humans to go to war with the New Humans. Therefore, they could only try their best to befriend them, and then continuously send people to collect information related to Fan Lihua, and to try and steal relevant achievements.
Or they would purchase extraordinary plant seeds, plant stalks, leaves, and other items at a high price for research.
As for what would happen next, only time would tell.
