"New Moon, a very good name," Zero said.
Now, Zero was truly capable of independent thought. Aside from a few core rules that bound Zero, it could exist completely independently.
Ziyu and Ye Ling continued their research and study here, learning various techniques while marveling at the power of Qutian Star civilization.
"King, did you reach such an advanced level through your own research?" Ziyu felt that borrowing technology was necessary, and learning from History was also essential, as it could help Earth’s development avoid unnecessary detours.
"Yes... but I must tell you..." Sutton paused and said, "Never, ever underestimate the civilizations of your planet's past."
"What does that mean?" Ziyu did not understand. Could it be that those primitive technologies should not be overlooked?
"It’s like this..." Sutton began to explain.
In ancient times, people sought natural laws for survival. Lacking technology, their ability to find patterns was strong; they might discover a rule but could only use it without understanding the principles behind it. Later on, when technology emerged, these ancient, principle-less things were dismissed as superstitions. This was the case for Qutian Star, but later a scientist from Qutian Star realized this and began researching Ancient Civilization, which elevated Qutian Star's technology to a new level.
"I believe there are many superstitious things existing on Earth now, and I hope you can recognize them correctly," Sutton said.
Ziyu nodded.
Not to mention the West, even in the East where Ziyu lived, there were many legends and secret arts that are now considered superstitions and looked down upon.
In fact, people were mistaken. Take fortune-telling for example; in ancient times, it was actually quite accurate. However, this practice was very intricate and difficult to pass down, leading to its eventual loss. A fragment of it survived and formed the modern fraudulent fortune-telling.
Ancient people did not know the principles behind it, but they could calculate... This was actually related to the movements of celestial bodies in the universe.
Eastern concepts like Bagua, Taiji, spirits, feng shui, karma, and luck... Western ideas like magic, deities, and souls... These are not mere superstitions or frauds; they are remnants of genuine methods that have been lost over time.
Exploring Ancient Culture is a complicated task that Qutian Star is currently undertaking as well.
"Many of our technologies are inspired by ancient practices..." Sutton looked outside. "Ancient technologies are too mysterious; they are practical yet lack principles, making them difficult to study now."
"It seems I need to go back and look into our ancient culture," Ziyu pondered deeply and found it reasonable.
Take the ancient Chinese text "I Ching"; it contains much superstition but is revered as a classic... The reason is certainly not just because of the profound truths within; it likely stems from the high status conferred upon those who recorded its contents in ancient times.
Ziyu had stayed here for a long time and was finally ready to return.
"We're going back this time, and I fear that Earth will really enter a phase of rapid development. Thank you all so much," Ziyu said with a smile.
"You all are making progress, which is beneficial for our ally, Qutian Star..." Sutton also said with a smile.
"You must come often," Xia Yun stood beside Sutton.
Ziyu nodded, pulling Ye Ling as they turned to walk towards the spaceship prepared by Qutian Star.
Solar System, Moon.
"Bang..."
A massive wormhole appeared on the surface of the Moon, followed by the emergence of a spaceship.
Ziyu and Ye Ling exited the spaceship, which then re-entered the wormhole and vanished. In Ziyu's hand was the Flight Record of the wreckage from the Moon's spaceship.
"Ziyu, don't you think it would be great if our Earth becomes as developed as Qutian Star in the future?" Ye Ling bounced around on the Moon's surface.
"Hehe..." Ziyu chuckled, "We will be stronger than them."
Ziyu was confident.
"By the way, let's look for that spaceship wreckage; we should bring back a part of it." Ziyu didn't need to retrieve everything, just a bit to check when it was from would suffice.
Ziyu used a Laser to cut off a piece of that Ape Man's body and placed it inside the Battle Armor, then returned to Earth with Ye Ling.
The Flight Record of the spaceship wreckage had already been roughly deciphered at Qutian Star, but Sutton said they wouldn't invade Earth's privacy, allowing Ziyu to return to Earth and use Zero to lift the final layer of restrictions before checking again.
Now, Ziyu had plenty of free time and would focus on researching various matters from now on.
Inside the Organization.
The current Anti-Alien Invasion Alliance Organization has become the highest authority on Earth, with Ziyu recognized as the leader of the organization.
Even if the organization does not explicitly state this internally, everyone outside does...
"Help me analyze these; when were they from?"
Ziyu brought back the Metal Block from ancient times and the Ape Man Corpse from the Moon to the organization.
"Okay. It may take some time; you can go about your own business, and we will notify you of the results," a staff member said.
The organization is no longer completely hidden; the headquarters now recruits some staff to assist with work. After all, relying solely on those nameless, numbered individuals would slow down research progress significantly.
However, even so... the organization remains very cautious.
"Zero, break through the last layer of encryption." Ziyu entered a sealed room and took out the Flight Record.
"Decrypting."
"Sir, encryption has been accessed; please check directly."
Ziyu pressed a button, and the spaceship's Flight Record began to play audio.
"Flight mission, launch time, 422 Cosmic Era, initial location, Yufeng Universe Nation, Jia Mingxing. Target location, Planet 31135." The standard Universal Language.
Ziyu was puzzled. Yufeng Universe Nation? Where is that? Is Planet 31135 Earth?
"Confirmation complete, launching..." A roar could be heard, indicating that this was certainly not just one spaceship.
".........." The recording was interspersed with a lot of irrelevant chatter and mission reports, lacking any important content.
"Arrived at Planet 31135. Planet status normal."
"Flight 135, what's wrong?" A spaceship contacted the distressed vessel.
"The ship is out of control!!"
"Flight 135, be careful, ahead is the satellite of Flight 31135."
"Boom... hissing..."
"It seems that Planet 31135 is Earth, and that satellite is the Moon. Flight 135 lost control before reaching Earth and crashed into the Moon." Ziyu understood the general situation.
It appears that life on Earth may not originate from Earth itself...
"Sir, the results are out." After a moment of contemplation, Zero spoke.
"Ah? Oh..." Ziyu stood up and walked out.
Laboratory.
"What? This metal is from five hundred thousand years ago? This... this piece of meat is from Six Hundred Thousand Years Ago?" Ziyu exclaimed in surprise while holding the results.
