Chapter 46: Experiencing the Life of Aliens

After lying down for half an hour, I felt more refreshed and relaxed, my mind clear and eager to explore the wonders of the Star Essence Alliance's technology. Over the past two nights, I had experienced dreams and black holes. This time, I wanted to try something new. But what? An idea suddenly struck me.

"Xiaomeng, I want to experience the life of aliens! I want to see their habits, immerse myself in their exotic customs, and witness the epic classics of a primitive civilization. Can you help me simulate the unique cultures and landscapes of an alien race?" With this thought in mind, I spoke to Xiaomeng, the nano-chip embedded in my body.

"Certainly, esteemed guest. Which alien race's culture would you like to experience? I can assist you by creating a simulation around you." Xiaomeng's voice resonated within my mind.

"Hmm, Venus once hosted a civilization long ago, even before the Earth's recorded history. Human probes have even captured images of numerous ancient ruins on Venus—at least 20,000 of them. However, this information has been withheld from the public by those in power. Such a profound civilization on Venus must have its own grand epic. Let's start with Venus." I decided.

"Understood." No sooner had I spoken my request than the surrounding space began to shift and transform into a virtual realm. The boundaries of the space expanded endlessly.

"Wow!" I gasped as the virtual scene rapidly took shape around me. I found myself in a world of shimmering gold. There were no roads—only giant golden structures I had never seen before, with various aerial vehicles zooming through the skies.

I soon felt the space around me adjusting its temperature, gravity, and pressure to match my physical needs, creating an environment where I could navigate this Venusian world without hindrance. It is known that Venus's atmospheric pressure is dozens of times higher than the Earth's, its gravity is different, and its air consists entirely of carbon dioxide, making it uninhabitable for normal humans.

I reached out to touch one of the nearby buildings—it felt real! The scene before me blurred the line between reality and simulation. As my body gradually adapted to the surroundings, the world around me became livelier. Unfamiliar machines and aerial vehicles moved methodically through the air. Strangely, there was complete silence—no noise at all. Could it be that Venusian civilization was inherently quiet?

"Where are the Venusians? Why don't I see anyone? Are they all indoors?" I scanned the area and saw only peculiar buildings, aerial vehicles, and vibrant plants—no sign of any Venusians. Curious, I headed toward the nearest structure.

After taking a few steps, I noticed something peculiar about Venus's sky. Unlike the Earth's sky with its clouds, Venus's was covered in a turbulent, golden ocean. What was that? Could it be a vast golden river enveloping the entire planet?

Unable to make sense of it, I asked Xiaomeng: "Is that a golden river in the sky? How did they manage to keep so much water up there?"

"Esteemed guest, what you see is not a river but a planet-wide plasma magnetic field," Xiaomeng explained to me. "Using advanced technology, plasma is extracted and combined with Venus's magnetic field. This combination creates an energy field that can be suspended in the sky, forming the golden ocean you see."

"Plasma combined with a magnetic field—together they form a plasma magnetic field," I repeated, but this high-tech concept was beyond my understanding. I had to ask another question: "Why would the Venusians do this?"

"Venus's orbital trajectory was vastly different in the past," Xiaomeng began: "Initially, the surface environment and atmosphere of Venus were incredibly hostile. The Venusians' birth and the development of their civilization could only occur deep underground. This phenomenon is quite common in the universe and explains why many alien species prefer subterranean living when they come to the Earth."

Xiaomeng's explanation was both intriguing and enlightening. Her soft, playful voice continued, "As Venus's technological civilization advanced, they turned their attention to the planet's surface. However, they first needed to address issues like ultraviolet radiation, violent thunderstorms, and the harsh environment. After countless technological innovations by Venusian scientists, they developed the plasma magnetic field technology you see now. It acts similarly to the Earth's ozone layer, covering the surface of Venus.

The plasma magnetic field absorbs and filters all types of tangible and intangible matter from space, delivering suitable energy to the Venusians while converting unused energy into the plasma field itself. Over time, Venus's environment improved gradually. Coupled with technological assistance, it transformed into the scene you see today.

This technique is not uncommon in the universe. For species with subterranean or underwater civilizations, as their technology progresses, they often turn their focus to surface development. To modify the surface environment, most of them employ this method of planet-wide plasma magnetic field coverage."

"Transforming or restoring a planet's environment truly is an ingenious solution! If humanity could invent such technology, it would surely be beneficial," I murmured as I walked. "Earth's environmental pollution is worsening, and some regions are plagued by wars. The ozone layer is also deteriorating. With this technology, we could clean up the atmosphere and return to the clear skies of childhood, where stars were easily visible, even in the cities. Now, it's only in the mountains that I can catch such a view."

As I spoke, we approached a metal door. Before I could knock, it silently slid open. Stepping inside, I was stunned to find actual Venusians and other life forms before me.

These Venusians looked remarkably similar to humans, but their physiques were taller, perfectly proportioned, and extraordinarily symmetrical. Venusian women were stunningly graceful, while the men exuded strength and power. It seemed as though their bodies had been meticulously designed—flawless in every aspect.

During previous conversation with Buweiro, I learned that both Venusians and other alien species could reshape their bodies at will, once they advanced to Primary civilization level. They could not only sculpt their physical appearance, but also enhance their overall functionality. For instance, eliminating hidden dangers in the body and taking in a perfect proportion of nutrients and energy can make the body healthy and long-lived. Not to mention getting sick, even a minor cold will not occur.

What astonished me most was that, once they reached a basic civilization level, if someone's body could no longer be modified or revitalized, they could extract their DNA and transfer their consciousness ions from their aging body into a new one. With this technology, they could create a healthier, more advanced body tailored to their preferences, including gender and age.

As I looked around, I noticed many life forms and plants that resembled those on the Earth. Some trees, flowers, and animals felt strikingly familiar. I began to suspect that Venus and Earth might have exchanged biological elements at some point. Later, Buweiro confirmed my speculation—it had indeed happened.

The grand hall was filled with ethereal sights: misty silhouettes of people, glowing humanoid figures, and an array of unimaginable advanced technologies. It was a glimpse into a world far beyond anything I had ever known.

After that, I experienced Martian civilization and found it not too different from Venusian civilization. I speculated that since both Venus and Mars are within the Solar system, their customs and cultures might not vary significantly.

Feeling curious, I summoned Xiaomeng and asked to experience alien civilizations beyond the Solar system. This time, by exploring the civilizations of several star systems outside the Solar system, I encountered a myriad of bizarre alien species, each with unique customs and cultures, as well as their own advanced technologies.

This trip to the planetary civilization has broadened my horizons. I was deeply touched by the huge difference between my personal experience and what I had heard before.

If you are interested in the experience of alien civilizations, please contact me. If I have time, I will contact Xiaomeng and write down the real alien worlds, so that people can understand the customs, technologies, and epic histories of other civilized races besides us earthlings.

This experience left me exhilarated and fascinated, so much so that I lost track of time. Glancing at my phone, I realized it was already past 5 PM. I decided to stop for the day since I would be leaving tomorrow and wanted to have one last conversation with Buweiro while I still had the chance.

Soon, Buweiro appeared before me and said, "Brother Ji Wufan, you seem to be in good spirits. I'm glad you're enjoying here."

By this point, my surroundings had returned to normal. Although Buweiro didn't mention my afternoon experience with alien species, I was sure he knew. I quickly expressed my gratitude. "Yes, thank you very much for your warm hospitality."

"I'm leaving tomorrow," I added. "Let's discuss some 'hard topics' today—subjects that might benefit humanity and also help me earn the trust of my fellow Earthlings." I used a slang phrase from my hometown, which Buweiro should understand.

"Of course. I'll tell you what I can, and I'll give you a brief explanation of what I can't." Buweiro smiled, understanding my intent. His promise filled me with both excitement and gratitude.
