Chapter 273 Establishing Diplomatic Relations When the Hans civilization's Messenger spacecraft docked at the Blue Star hub, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, led by Xu Hongwei, were also present. However, this reception configuration made the envoys of the Han civilization somewhat dissatisfied. According to normal logic, as an emerging civilization, the Hans civilization's active contact with human civilization is already a proactive expression of a lower status. This is a very rare situation in normal interactions between civilizations. Just like in the Earth Age, when faced with small countries, the big powers would not take the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with small countries. In this situation, there is only one possibility. That's the benefit. Not only Xu Hongwei, but Fan Ren also saw this very clearly. As a galaxy that has never been visited by extraterrestrial civilizations, the solar system has extremely rich resource reserves, and there is something more important. That is, the technological development here is very backward.
This can be seen from the fact that they did not use the jump engine to fly directly to the Blue Star hub, but only from the many industrial ships observed traveling on the road. This emerging civilization was extremely backward not only in technology, but also in economy. It has been five years since the civilization was registered and developed. In this backward civilization, only a few official ships are equipped with jump engines, a device that can greatly improve efficiency. Not only that, although most of the Earth-like planets in this galaxy have signs of industrial activities, according to data observed by signal receiving devices, industrial production activities on these planets are not active. Similarly, there are currently no signs of industrial activity on the dozens or hundreds of satellites in this galaxy. Apparently, the economic development of human civilization is so slow that the infrastructure of these planets has not been purchased. Of course, the Hans civilization did not know the main reason why human civilization had not developed this planet was because of insufficient population. Thinking back on the various data obtained from observations over the past few days, the Hans civilization envoy named Mai Dao couldn't help but smile. Their strategic goals may not require much effort at all. "Dear Foreign Affairs Minister, I am Mai Dao, the envoy of the Hans civilization. I will represent our civilization in contacting and communicating with yours." "Hello, Mr. McDonnell. I am very happy to welcome your civilization. I am Xu Hongwei, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Human Civilization. I will represent the will of the Chairman of our Civilization Committee and be responsible for the contact and communication with your civilization's delegation." Xu Hongwei had a smile on his face and communicated with him in a very good attitude. At the dock, the Space Force honor guard stood solemnly around. These humans, who were about two meters tall, caused a huge visual impact on the short Hans civilization envoys just from their appearance. One thing that needs to be noted is that the height of human civilization is extremely high, even among the civilizations of the entire Galactic Alliance. Even, taking the Sirius civilization as an example, the intelligent creatures in their civilization move around on all fours and are only about 1 meter tall. The diversity of carbon-based life in the universe makes this posture not actually strange. In terms of height, a large part of the reasons come from the gravity of the original planet where the civilization survives, the oxygen content in the atmosphere, the orbital period, and the temperature difference caused by the distance from the center of the earth. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but these factors made humans the tallest creatures among all intelligent creatures. After a conversation, McDowell's eyes showed envy, but he couldn't help but have some fantasies in his mind. Just based on this advantage in terms of size, one can foresee that once the population of this civilization begins to grow rapidly, their economy will surely take off in the mining industry.
After all, the Galactic Alliance does not allow the existence of artificial intelligence equipment, so the main production method of an industry like mining, which requires huge physical strength, is to rely on the population to mine. Under the watchful eyes of tall honor guards, the delegations passed through a long corridor and then, led by Xu Hongwei, arrived at the grand and spacious reception room of the building. On the other side, Fan Ren was watching everything here through the camera, thinking about another thing in his mind. He didn't care much about the Hans civilization's envoys coming to establish diplomatic relations. Just as the result of his previous discussion with Xu Hongwei, Hans civilization has reached its current point, and all proactive actions of the other side and human civilization must contain impure purposes. As a comparison. Thinking of this, Fan Ren couldn't help but smile. It's not just about interactions between countries, but even in the cosmic age. The communication between civilizations is not simple. Is everything that human civilization shows today really as backward as McDonnell sees? It is located in a hidden base in the Ross 9 planetary system, 154 light years away. Although only five years have passed, the overall development and changes are no longer what they used to be. Today, the Fox Pirates are headed by Ah Dai in production, Jin Qiaoying in economics and trade, Li Jian in the Qingluan Legion, and Fan Ren in the science and technology department. Not only have the produced jump engines been successfully sold in small batches in the star domain market, but even the nuclear fusion solutions in the industrial field have also shown some improvement in the star domain market. In fact, as early as a year ago, at Fan Ren's request, the Fox Pirates completely cut off the flow of raw materials between them and human civilization. Today, all production materials of the Fox Pirates are purchased from the Star Domain Market. Similarly, the Qingluan Legion has now begun to equip itself with escort and cruiser-level jump engines in batches. The research team led by Fan Ren successfully increased the nuclear fusion conversion rate in industrial applications to 78%. In comparison, the average level of similar products in the Star Domain market is only 60%. Not only that, nowadays, Fan Ren spends most of his time in the Ross 154 planetary system, except for returning to the solar system every once in a while to handle official business that requires his signature. Under his leadership, a group of top scientists in fields related to human civilization have now begun research on battleship-level jump engines. It is expected that after a few months, once the research and development work is completed, these battleship-level jump engines will be installed on the tens of thousands of Punishers that have been waiting for it. At the same time, the research progress of electromagnetic railgun was also carried out simultaneously under the leadership of Fan Ren. In the next few years, all the output of the Fox Pirates, in addition to meeting their own needs, the rest will be sold on the star market depending on the situation, and will not be used by human civilization.
