After Yan Xia gave the order, everything started to work immediately. The negotiations between the two civilizations began gradually within 10 years. About 62 years later, the Olive Branch Civilization creature wandering outside the Civilization Federation was invited to the Qihang Star Field on the edge of the Civilization Federation to open an envoy's hall. Qihang Star Field is a star field composed entirely of explorers. At its peak, the number of explorers can exceed 300 million, and the number of creatures in the entire star field is close to 800 million. Going forward from here is the unknown star field. Everything in the unknown star field is infinitely attractive to explorers. Du Lu watched a huge sphere flying through the distant starry sky. "According to the information, that is the spaceship of the Olive Branch Civilization." The crew behind it said in surprise. "It is rumored that there is a small world inside the spaceship. It is really luxurious. We can only leave a small part of the spaceship as a breeding area." Du Lu's eyes were deep. After handing over the energy coin, it took a look at its former home. It had already changed its appearance. Things are different. After asking around, it knew how its family's descendants were living now. It left a sum of money and then entered the starry sky again.
Over the years, it has already adapted to the starry sky and has become a part of it. "Well, we have to thank the alien creature for the gift." "We upgraded our weapons with the money we got from handing in energy coins, and also purchased new mechas and other equipment." "Now, speed up to the unknown star field." "We are like fish, and there is our sea!" Dulu returned to the cabin. He was about to go into hibernation and wait for the adventure after arriving at the destination. Even though he had taken risks countless times, every exploration of the unknown still made him excited. Starry sky! How vast, how magnificent, how charming, like a glass of scarlet liquor, it makes people burn all over, fall into intoxication, and can't stop. ... In another star field, a fleet, like Dulu, sailed to the unknown star field. But their goal was clearer. It was the Olive Branch civilization 280 light years away. This is the longest voyage in the history of the Civilization Federation. Although the speed of the warships has been improved to reach 1/14 of the speed of light, they still have to sail for a full 3920 years to reach their destination. The two civilizations seem to be neighbors, but in fact they are so far away that ordinary creatures despair. "I have been thinking about whether to sleep in Tiancang No. 5 or to stay awake to look at the world." "The vastness of the universe makes every creature obsessed. If I don't go on this nearly 4,000-year journey in person, I will miss a lot." Yan Xia looked at the starry sky outside the window. Tiangong is moving forward, and it is on the journey again.
This is a decision he has thought about for a long time. "Is this really good? Yan Xia!" "You will enter a dangerous place. The Olive Branch Civilization may defeat our fleet, and then study you and change you." Ella looked worried. According to its decision, Yan Xia should stay in the capital star field and not do anything dangerous. Yan Xia turned his head to look at Ella, who was the same white-haired loli virtual image as a long time ago, with light flashing in his dark brown eyes. "You're right." "But maybe the small part of human genes in my body is still at work, making me more eager for an adventure." "Ella, you and I both know that the Civilization Federation is not safe. Even if we make it into a turtle shell, when we face creatures that can use tools, the turtle shell is so vulnerable." "I can't stop for a moment. The entire Civilization Federation is still in its infancy." "Only if I take this step can I lead the Civilization Federation forward." This step is to the star field of the Olive Branch Civilization. Another reason why Yan Xia decided to go is the information gap. Even if tachyon communication is 1,900 times faster than the speed of light, the one-way delay of more than a month will still prevent Yan Xia from making an accurate judgment in the first time. This is a contact that determines the fate of the Civilization Federation. If you are not careful, the entire Civilization Federation will be doomed. He must make the most accurate judgment and issue instructions on the spot, so that he can feel at ease. "Ella, the Civilization Federation is in your hands." "If the real culprit is gone." Death is not scary for Yan Xia now, he can face death calmly. "In fact, you don't have to take this risk." Ella has been persuading. "You and I both know that this is very necessary." Yan Xia is a little stubborn, as stubborn as an old man. But he is not like other old people who are content with the status quo. When he clearly knows that the top civilization in the Milky Way may be a civilization of level , or even less than level , how can he sit and wait for death? Their goal has never been whether the Olive Branch Civilization carries malicious intent. Even if the Olive Branch Civilization has malicious intent, it will take tens of thousands of years to swallow them. The real threat is still in higher civilizations. When the strongest civilization in the Milky Way enters level , the entire Milky Way will no longer allow the existence of level 2 civilizations. Ella estimates that this time point will not be less than 300,000 years, and no more than 500,000 years, and the Milky Way will become a one-man show. This seems long. But if the Civilization Federation just develops steadily, it will take 100,000 years to reach level . When entering a wider world, time is no longer valuable.
"And we can still do a lot of things in these nearly 4,000 years, right?" In any case, the two civilizations must establish a connection. So Yan Xia decided to recreate a historical business plan of his former country. Silk Road. This time it is the Silk Road in the universe. "The Silk Road connects not only one end to the other, but also the central part." "280 light years, we will pass through 51 galaxies, and these galaxies can leave some soldiers and robots for development, and then call explorers." "Make sure to create more tachyon communication equipment." "Now we are about to enter level , and 4,000 years may allow us to reach level . As long as the Olive Branch Civilization's progress is not as fast as ours, then our gap will become smaller and smaller within 4,000 years. By then, it will not be a snake swallowing an elephant, but a lion hunting an elephant." All plans are perfect and impeccable before implementation. Yan Xia didn't know what would happen in the real battle. But this plan was the best he could do at the moment. Even if it failed later, he would not regret it. I just hope God can bless me. Yan Xia suddenly thought of something else. "I guess God can't take a star destroyer cannon."
