Chapter 236 Doubts Cruelty means that within the Galactic Alliance, one can legally declare war on other civilizations, justifiably and without reason, as long as a certain fee is paid. Another example is human trafficking, this kind of trade is actually legal. These are undoubtedly cruel. What is illogical is that the development of civilization does not rely on improving scientific and technological strength, but only relies on selling a large amount of resources to purchase weapons and equipment, spacecraft and other high-tech products to enhance its strength. With strength, you have the qualifications to expand your territory. how to say? Fan Ren couldn't help but think of the five super civilizations in the center of the galaxy. Perhaps, all these developments are under the other party's deliberate control. After he figured this out, he continued to ask, "Tell me about your army." Upon hearing this, Meyer put away his sadness and replied, “Our Hans civilization currently has five small flagship aircraft carriers, more than 100,000 battleships, 200,000 cruisers, and nearly one million small special ships of various types.
The above numbers are all fully equipped spaceships and warships. Apart from these, we still have more than 50,000 battleships waiting to be assembled." "No money?" Fan Ren asked a question that seemed very ridiculous. Hearing this, Meyer nodded helplessly and said, “Yes, we don’t have the money to purchase the equipment for these 50,000-plus battleships. The few rocky planets left in our civilization don’t have much in the way of reserves, and these funds must be reserved for other purposes for the time being.” "Declaration of war?" Fan Ren raised his eyebrows and looked at Maile meaningfully. "You are so wise. That's right. These are reserved for unexpected situations. For example, if that solar system civilization suddenly registers with the Galactic Alliance during a war, our civilization will have to pay a war declaration fee. So this money is reserved for emergency use." "Why are you targeting only the civilization in that solar system? There are many civilizations around here that are as powerful as yours, why are you the only one targeting you?" Mailer hesitated when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Shan Wu who was not far away. Shan Wu had no expression on his face and raised the muzzle of his gun. Those lifeless eyes left Mel no doubt that the other party would hesitate to pull the trigger. "Our civilization has previously observed a battle breaking out at the edge of that galaxy." After he said this, he glanced at the fox beside him and continued. "The ultra-long-range detection technology in our civilization was purchased from the star market. It is a technology that uses gravitational wave detection methods and is very expensive. But it is precisely this technological support that enables us to detect some details of that war. We know that a dreadnought appeared there. It is obvious that within the surrounding ten light years, the only civilization that possesses a dreadnought is the one owned by the Fox Pirates, which is a legacy left over from their civilization.
Therefore, we concluded that there were traces of the Fox Pirates here. As a pirate gang with a long history, the Fox Pirates do not have any large-scale conventional firepower. Perhaps because of some problems between them and the Sirius civilization, the Fox Pirates are very cautious in their activities. This is the first time we have found traces of them in nearly a hundred years. Since they dare to appear here, it must mean that there is something valuable here that deserves their attention. At the same time, we discovered that the civilization here was not registered in the Galactic Alliance. So we decided at that time that this was a galaxy with an emerging civilization, not a dead galaxy with no resources as recorded in the Galactic Alliance. "Fan Ren's eyes flickered and he whispered, "Is there any record of the solar system in the Galactic Alliance?" Maier nodded and said, "Yes, there are records that this is a recorded galaxy that has long been mined. This is also one of the reasons why, like the Ross 154 galaxy, there has been no civilization visiting there. Even if a new civilization is born there, no other civilization will be willing to spend a lot of resources to invest there until their population grows to a certain level. " Fan Ren breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was confused. There is actually recorded information about the solar system in the Galactic Alliance. The most crucial point is that this information is not true and is obviously misleading. That is, the resources of several planets in the solar system have not been completely mined, but have never been mined. What is the reason! After taking a look at the fox, the other party couldn't help but look puzzled at this moment. Fan Ren secretly put away these thoughts and thought about them slowly later. He turned his gaze to Maile, thought for a moment and then asked: "According to what you said, you were attracted by the traces of the Fox Pirates. What about other civilizations around here? Will they also detect this information?" Hearing this, Meier shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. The price of a satellite that uses gravitational wave detection technology is very high. If our civilization was not short of resources, we would not spend huge sums of money to purchase this kind of equipment. Of course, that war was definitely noticed, but I don’t know how these civilizations made the judgment.” Fanren heaved a sigh of relief. This would be good. He even hoped that humans would never be discovered and could slowly and steadily develop science and technology. But this is obviously unlikely. But it seems that there is still some time left for human civilization. However, it seems that this issue cannot be delayed any longer when it comes to registering with the Galactic Alliance. He looked at Maile and asked, "As you said, the resources of your Hans civilization are in a critical situation. Don't you have any ideas to explore in other directions?" Hearing this, Maile couldn't help but smile bitterly again. "There is no chance. The key stargate hubs leading to the center of the Milky Way are all controlled by third-level civilizations. These star gates can allow a certain size of civilian fleet to sail freely, but it is completely impossible when it comes to the military.
And further ahead, you know, we are at the very end of the cantilever, and further ahead is basically billions of light years of interstellar space. There is no way out for us.” When Mailer said this, a hint of death appeared in his eyes. He continued: "In fact, fundamentally speaking, it's not just our Hans civilization, other civilizations around here are in a similar situation to us. Perhaps after decades or hundreds of years, when the planetary resources in their hands are exhausted, there will be only two options left for them. 1. Join the Sirius civilization and become their secondary civilization, providing human resource value for their development. Second, declare war on the Sirius civilization and completely eliminate this obstacle on the road to the central Milky Way." There was a gleam in his eyes as he murmured, “The further we go to the center of the river system, the richer the resources there are. There are many ownerless galaxies! A lot! As long as you have the human and material resources and can have a certain degree of defense against the galaxy there, you can exploit the resources you need at will!" (End of this chapter)
