Although Mu Ying was shocked as to why Yang Qi came to the imperial capital so quickly, Mu Ying had experienced countless life and death situations and witnessed great changes in Chinese history. He quickly came to his senses and told Yang Qi about the mysterious metal.
After listening to Mu Ying's description, Yang Qi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "After what you said, I am even more curious about this mysterious metal."
"Mr. Yang, let's go over there now." Mu Ying said hurriedly.
Buzz~
Yang Qi moved his hand, and a stream of energy wrapped around Mu Ying. Then his figure flew to Yang Qi's side. In just a blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at the entrance of the underground base.
"Gurgle~"
Looking at the entrance to the underground base, Mu Ying swallowed subconsciously. He finally understood why Yang Qi was able to rush here from Qingzhou so quickly. This speed was much faster than when Mu Ying first saw it!
Mu Ying came back to his senses and quickly said, "Mr. Yang, congratulations on your improved strength."
Mu Ying is now also considered a cultivator. As a cultivator, he naturally understands that for a cultivator, improvement in any aspect is a manifestation of improved strength. Yang Qi's speed suddenly increased so much, which obviously means that his cultivation has improved.
Yang Qi smiled slightly and did not explain too much. For Mu Ying, who was just a martial artist, the Martial King realm was too far away. It was a level he could not even imagine.
Under Mu Ying's guidance, Yang Qi went directly into the underground base and met Old Liu and the mysterious blue-gray metal.
Yang Qi looked at Elder Liu and said respectfully, "Elder Liu."
The old man Liu in front of him was a scientist of the older generation who had won the Huaxia Science and Technology Outstanding Contribution Award. Yang Qi had always admired these selfless practitioners of the older generation. Even though he was a powerful warrior in the King of Martial Arts, he showed enough respect in front of Old Liu.
Old Liu looked at Yang Qi and said directly, "Mr. Yang, you don't have to be polite. I believe Brother Mu has already told you about this incident. I wonder if you can tell the origin of the metal in front of you?"
For these older scientists, they don't have so many twists and turns, they are completely devoted to research, and in their eyes, there is only their own research. It is precisely because of this that they can lead China to create scientific miracles that amaze the world in an era of extreme scarcity of technology and materials.
"It's not clear yet. I need to observe it carefully." Yang Qi shook his head slightly, and with a movement of his hand, the blue-gray metal fell directly into his hand.
After a brief inspection, Yang Qi put the blue-gray metal back to its original place.
Seeing Yang Qi put the blue-gray metal back, Mr. Liu on the side hurriedly said, "Mr. Yang..."
"We have reached some conclusions. This piece of metal is not something special. It's just that its material is relatively hard and has reached the level of a Taoist soldier." Yang Qi said.
"Tao soldiers?"
Old Liu was stunned and looked at Yang Qi in confusion.
Seeing Mr. Liu's confused face, Yang Qi was also stunned, but he didn't know how to explain to Mr. Liu.
To understand and appreciate Dao Soldiers at this level, one must at least reach the Martial Honor Realm. However, Old Liu is just an ordinary person, so it is too difficult for him to understand what Dao Soldiers are.
Yang Qi thought about it, then changed his words to those of a technological civilization, and explained, "To put it simply, this is a metal that can only be produced by a technological civilization of at least level six."
"Level six technological civilization?" Old Liu still looked confused.
Seeing this scene, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said, "Technological civilization can be divided into nine levels from low to high. Levels one to three are low-level technological civilization, levels four to six are intermediate technological civilization, and levels seven to nine are high-level technological civilization."
Upon hearing this, Old Liu nodded slightly. It was not surprising that Yang Qi knew about such a division since he could travel to other worlds. Therefore, he did not have any doubts.
"What level of civilization is Earth's technology at?" Old Liu asked with some anticipation.
Seeing Mr. Liu's expectant look, Yang Qi sighed inwardly, but still said, "The technological level of the Earth is probably between level one and level two."
“So low?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Old Liu and Mu Ying changed. In their opinion, even if it could not reach the level of advanced technological civilization, it should at least have the level of intermediate technological civilization, right
But now Yang Qi told them that the Earth was only between the first and second levels of technological civilization, which was the lowest level of technological civilization.
"The earth's modern technology has only developed for one or two hundred years. We are overthinking it." Old Liu said with a wry smile.
After all, he was a real scientist. After a brief moment of shock, Mr. Liu understood that although the history of the earth was long, the history of human civilization was short. The development time of modern technology was even shorter, and a lot of it was made with the help of these alien technologies, otherwise the technological level of the earth would be even lower.
"The standard for a first-level technological civilization is to step out of the mother star, and the standard for a second-level technological civilization is to step out of the small galaxy where the mother star is located..." Yang Qi said.
The technological level of the Earth is right between its parent star and a small galaxy. According to Yang Qi's understanding of the levels of technological civilization, it can only be considered between the first and second levels of technological civilization.
"Then what level of technological civilization does the space battleship we discovered earlier belong to?" Old Liu looked at Yang Qi and asked.
"Level 4." Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
I see!
Following Yang Qi's words, Liu Lao also understood why their methods were completely incapable of dealing with the blue-gray metal, which was an item that could only be made by a six-star technological civilization. With the first or second level of technology on Earth, even with the help of the fourth-level technological civilization product of the space battleship, they could not deal with the blue-gray metal at all.
Yang Qi glanced at the blue-gray metal and continued, "There are four characters written on the metal, and I only recognize two of them."
"Which two words?" Old Liu and Mu Ying asked subconsciously.
Yang Qi pointed to the last two words on the metal and said slowly, "The last two words on the metal should be the word Empire."
empire
Upon hearing Yang Qi's words, the corners of Liu Lao and Mu Ying's mouths twitched fiercely. The two "empire" were too common, and Yang Qi did not recognize the first two words of the most critical information, which was really speechless.
"These are two different scripts. The last two characters are more commonly used in technological civilization, while the first two characters should be the scripts belonging to the internal part of that empire." Yang Qi explained.
This is like the regional dialect. If it is spoken in Mandarin, Yang Qi will definitely know what it means, but if it is changed into a dialect, it would be strange if he can recognize it. The endless universe is so vast that even a strong man in the Martial Emperor Realm would not dare to say that he is proficient in the language of other cultivation worlds without the help of communication at the level of consciousness!
