In the midst of this discussion, the conference room quieted down once more.
People pondered for a while then inquired once again, "Respectable Tos Civilization, we ask you one final question, aside from modifying your own innate drive for genetic enhancement, is there truly no other path to ascend to a Level 5 Civilization?"
The other party answered, "No, it's not the only way, it's just a relatively good method. Some races with extraordinary intelligence inherently possess the ability to directly ascend to Level 5 or even Level 6 civilizations."
"But the vast majority of civilizations, despite exerting all their efforts, can only reach the stage of a Third-level or Fourth-level Civilization. Following this, the pace of progress slows down and it requires time to slowly accumulate."
