83: Super Harvest

"What's going on? Why hasn't he made a move yet?"

This doubt arose in the hearts of countless members of the Singer Civilization.

The Singer Civilization had already prepared their civilization's tombstone and their final means of destruction, ready to wait for death. However, after waiting for a long time, Ye Feng simply surrounded them and did not act.

The final means of destruction was designed to automatically activate only after Ye Feng launched a destructive strike first.

They had merely flipped the preliminary switch for this program.

After all, this measure was designed to prevent a situation where a traitor within the Singer Civilization might destroy their own civilization even if no external Great Destruction occurred.

It was a self-running program, with only one preliminary switch held in the hands of the Singer Civilization.

"Why isn't he acting? Could it be that he isn't here to destroy us?"

Gradually, more and more people within the Singer Civilization began to hold this view.

Just as they were discussing this, Ye Feng finally sent a critical message.

"Survival?"

"Or destruction?"

"The choice is yours!"

...Ye Feng's announcement plunged the entire Singer Civilization into silence.

They seemingly had two choices now, but in reality, there was only one.

As a civilization, they had no room to choose the path of the stubborn; their only possible choice was survival first.

Ensuring the civilization's survival was the primary element of its existence; nothing else mattered.

It was just like human survival—only by being alive do all possibilities exist!

Nothing else was important!

Face? Dignity? How much were they worth? Only by living are all things possible.

If not for the existence of the system, Ye Feng might have chosen to join the Demon Civilization for the sake of survival after arriving in the Super God World.

Because the Demon Civilization was the only path in the universe that provided a ladder for newcomers to increase their power.

Whether it was the Super Seminary, Deno, Lieyang, the Angels, or other civilizations, they were all extremely xenophobic.

They would never give him a chance to rise.

Without the system, he could only have chosen the Demons, choosing the primary element of survival.

If you are dead, others will not pay you the slightest bit of attention.

The same was true for a civilization; only by existing does a civilization have all possibilities.

Because the universe is always full of variables.

Just as the Trisolarans were nearly destroyed by Ye Feng, and just as the Singer Civilization, which should have two-dimensionalized the entire Solar System, had now become meat on Ye Feng's cutting board.

After a day-long silence, the Singer Civilization finally chose to respond.

"We choose survival. Please state your conditions!"

"I am an Interstellar Bandit, specializing in robbing civilizations for a hundred million years!"

Ye Feng began to boast to the other party, using a mix of truth and lies to intimidate them.

He wanted the Singer Civilization to feel that he was incredibly powerful and that they had nothing they could hide from him.

"Hand over all your scientific knowledge, technology, and experience! Also, all your mid-to-high-level resources!"

"If you use any hidden means or other tricks during this process, I will immediately initiate the Great Destruction against you. I will not destroy easily, but I don't mind being a hunter in the Dark Forest!"

Ye Feng finally revealed his true purpose.

"We agree!"

The leader of the Singer Civilization was overjoyed and responded without hesitation.

He didn't want to gamble on whether Ye Feng would detect any hidden tricks from the Singer Civilization; he only sought stability and to satisfy Ye Feng so that the civilization could continue steadily.

The Singer Civilization had traveled a path filled with countless dangers.

Not taking risks and being steady were the characteristics that allowed their civilization to develop to its current stage.

Moreover, technology and knowledge were just being copied for Ye Feng; the Singer Civilization would still retain them.

As for resources, they could be mined and synthesized again if lost.

As long as the civilization could survive this Great Calamity of destruction, nothing else was important.

Playing tricks in this matter would be the true way to rapidly decrease the survival probability of the Singer Civilization.

It wasn't that no Singer members suggested playing foul, but those who proposed such ideas were immediately humanely destroyed by the leader of the Singer Civilization.

In the matter of civilizational continuation, he wanted the outcome with the highest probability and would not allow any member to bring even a sliver of a possibility of leading the civilization toward destruction.

Interests were not important now; survival was!

They made the same choice as the Trisolaran civilization, and the Singer Civilization quickly gathered all their knowledge, technology, and experiential data.

At the same time, they also prepared to hand over all the high-level resources they possessed, including Dimensional Rays, Particle Decoupling Technology, Entropy Variance Disorder Technology, Neutrino Disintegration Technology, Gravitational Space-Time Distortion Deep Wells, and other foundation-level technologies and equipment to Ye Feng.

They only retained basic manufacturing capabilities and a certain amount of effective life-saving equipment.

They even handed over the technology for mutual destruction at the end of a civilization, though they chose not to hand over the actual system for that mutual destruction.

Among these things, the Singer Civilization even handed over all their Two-Dimensional Foils, the most terrifying weapon in the fate of the Trisolarans.

Ye Feng could observe part of the actions being taken by the Singer Civilization.

In reality, all he sought was knowledge and technology; he didn't require much in the way of other resources or equipment, though more was better.

As it turned out, the Singer Civilization had no intention of negotiating and surrendered directly, which made Ye Feng feel that this civilization deserved to exist and deserved to be powerful.

They were simply too steady.

If it were Ye Feng in charge of a civilization, he would also execute the choice with the highest survival probability.

With the same resoluteness as the Singer Civilization.

After about five days of preparation, the Singer Civilization contacted Ye Feng again.

"The items are ready. We will place them in Starry Sky Containers and project them into space. Please receive them!"

One after another, massive Starry Sky Containers were launched into space.

Then Ye Feng used tractor beams on them and performed particle-level scans at the proton and neutron levels.

He had to confirm that there wasn't the slightest problem with this equipment.

He had to ensure that there were no unknown hidden attacks inside, such as logic Trojans or Dimensional Technology Trojan viruses.

He felt that the leader of the Singer Civilization probably wouldn't be so irrational, but it was hard to guarantee that internal factions wouldn't harbor other intentions.

Ye Feng conducted a very careful inspection of every type of resource.

Afterward, he received a super cosmic-grade Ultra-Quantum Hard Drive containing all the knowledge, technology, and experiential data of the Singer Civilization.

These things were described in the script of the Singer Civilization, but Ye Feng quickly converted them into Chinese through massive calculations.

Furthermore, he transferred these items into a special void engine and used the void engine to perform potential danger detection on this information.

Ultimately, he found no problems at all.

The Singer Civilization had indeed handed over everything Ye Feng wanted.

Thus, Ye Feng didn't waste another word; he collected all the items and withdrew all the means he had used to besiege the Singer Civilization.

Then, he piloted the blood wolf and vanished into the depths of the Trisolaran Universe with a spacetime jump.

Seeing this, the Singer Civilization also quickly relocated after conducting preliminary probes.

Only then did they feel immensely fortunate.

Their civilization had survived!
