For Mond, was this the second time?
Xu Yang's mind stirred with curiosity, but he did not show it on his face, maintaining a calm tone.
"So, what was the first technological civilization you saw like?" he asked.
"Prosperous, advanced," Mond sighed with regret, "Almost all the Ancient Mystics had seen that era, very much like the present day, developing production, using machines instead of handicraft, using science to explore the world. It's hard not to feel that every civilization follows a similar path of development, hinting that you will make the same mistakes, rapidly advancing, encountering bottlenecks, then destruction."
"If we navigate to other stars, to pioneer deep space, we should be able to solve many problems," Xu Yang said, "The vast universe can provide infinite resources for development."
