Chapter 360: Chapter 253: Hongwei Blueprint “It’s called a newcomer competition, but newcomers can’t actually win this competition.” “Those civilizations above Level 1.5 are all considered Level 1 civilizations.” “Their technology and industrial capabilities are clearly stronger than a 1.0 civilization. This kind of newcomer competition is basically their stage.” He Xingzhou understood and exclaimed excitedly, “Isn’t this tailor-made for me?” “I think so too,” Bai Ningxiang agreed deeply. She had previously thought that the Blue Star Civilization was an ordinary Mother Star Civilization that would soon be destroyed by the Zerg. Who knew that He Xingzhou, this anomaly, would bring a civilization destined for destruction into the interstellar era. This could definitely be called a miracle! Ta Mu laughed and said, “It seems you are willing to sign up. Come with me, you can register now. We can start a competition every six months on average, with 100,000 interstellar architects from Level 1 civilizations participating each time!” “So many people participate?” He Xingzhou asked, “Are the participating civilizations not only from the Orion Arm and the Milky Way?” “Of course!” Ta Mu said, “A single competition lasts a hundred years; we can’t just hold one every hundred years, right? How would there be so many interstellar architects just from the Orion Arm and the Milky Way?” “These competitions are rare opportunities for lower-level civilizations to encounter civilizations from other star systems! They may include various types, such as hive-type civilizations, wandering civilizations, silicon civilizations, and others. Generally, silicon civilizations and plant civilizations often rank in the top three in such grand competitions due to their rapid manufacturing speeds!” Upon hearing Ta Mu’s words, instead of feeling intimidated, He Xingzhou became even more enthusiastic. The more opponents there are, and the stronger they are, the more interesting it becomes. Just relying on the Blue Star Civilization to build solo in the Solar System and resist the Zerg always felt like something was missing. This newcomer competition for interstellar architects is truly a platform for He Xingzhou to shine! He Xingzhou had already converted his 5,685 contribution points into Cosmic Coins and, after paying an entry fee of one thousand Cosmic Coins, he joined this newcomer competition. “The newcomer competition will start in ten days,” Ta Mu said with a smile, “Young man, you still have the chance to take me as your mentor, though the tuition would increase to three thousand Cosmic Coins. I have secrets to quickly securing a ranking in the newcomer competition!” “Back in the day, I once made it to the top fifty in a newcomer competition! Even if you just make it to the top hundred, it’s a sure profit!” Bai Ningxiang retorted, “If you were really that great, you wouldn’t just be a Second-level interstellar architect right now, but something higher!” “What do you know, Little Mermaid? Civilization upgrades don’t happen that quickly,” Ta Mu said, “With me around, our civilization can quickly become a Level 3 Civilization!” He Xingzhou ignored his words again. After registering, he could enter the competition’s exchange hall, which was an independent space where all participating interstellar architects could exchange, and others could watch the competition. As soon as He Xingzhou arrived at the competition hall, a participation badge naturally appeared on him, which read, “Level 1 Architect, Chengfeng, current points 0. Preparing to participate.” These interstellar architects came from various civilizations, and the civilizations were far apart. With their technology, there was almost no possibility of crossing star rivers to attack each other, so they were all very enthusiastic and communicative with one another. Seeing a newcomer appear, some interstellar architects were prepared to approach and talk, but seeing He Xingzhou’s points were 0, they retreated. Zero points, clearly just a newbie. Everyone was quite realistic and didn’t want to waste time talking to a newbie, knowing they wouldn’t learn anything. He Xingzhou walked around and found a “newbie group” of dozens of people, where everyone’s points were low and they didn’t exclude him as a zero-point newbie. “Hello everyone, I’m Chengfeng, a newcomer,” He Xingzhou introduced himself. “Welcome, newcomer!” an alien who looked like a bamboo pole said, “I’m Green Demon, you can join us to discuss civilization construction content.” He Xingzhou saw that his participation badge read, “Level 1 Architect, Green Demon, current points 87. Preparing to participate.” Bai Ningxiang whispered, “87 points, his civilization is at least above a 1.8 Level civilization. Even as a representative of a Second-level Civilization, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a Second-level interstellar architect.” “Like you?” He Xingzhou said. Bai Ningxiang was speechless and said, “I’m not good at this. Becoming a Second-level interstellar architect requires an assessment, and many of the technological mega-structures required for the assessment aren’t necessary to build.” In the newbie group, the interstellar architects had already started chatting. “The competition begins in ten days; let me first share some tips with everyone,” Green Demon said, “Single technological artifacts give very few points. For example, building a planetary mining ship only gives 1 Technology Point.” “But the Technology Points can be stacked. The planetary mining ship I mentioned is the easiest technological artifact to stack Technology Points. It is relatively simple to manufacture and consumes fewer resources.” “Building a cosmic battleship at ten percent of light speed adds 10 Technology Points, but the manufacturing difficulty, time, and resources consumed are enough to build more than fifty planetary mining ships!” “Besides mining ships, there are space probe satellites, space mecha, and space drones, which are relatively easy to manufacture and offer decent points as technological artifacts.” “If you want to achieve higher rankings, these things can be mass-produced.” “So you’re saying it’s possible to reach the top hundred just by making planetary mining ships?” an alien asked. Green Demon denied: “Of course, it’s not that simple. Manufacturing systemic technological artifacts earns additional points.”
