Other alien species in the Earth-Star Alliance actually have very few opportunities to conduct independent interstellar exploration.
The moment they entered the Earth-Star Alliance, no matter whether they had such abilities or not, they were completely blocked.
They can follow the progress as a member of the human exploration fleet, but it is simply impossible to want anything else.
After all, this already involves the issue of the dominance of an alliance. If any alien civilization wants to try to change it, humans would not mind letting them know who is the real boss of the Earth-Star Alliance.
In the early days of the formation of the Earth-Star Alliance, humans encountered such a problem. When the human fleet wanted to explore new areas of the universe, it would naturally invite other alien races to join them.
However, it is not that there are no races trying to bargain with humans. At that time, they were still alien races that had just joined the Earth-Star Alliance. They were very powerful and were not much weaker than the humans at that time.
Compared with that alien race, humans are actually only 30% more powerful, but this 30% has not become an absolute advantage now.
Because that alien race is also in the process of rapid growth, to some extent, they have threatened humanity's dominant position in its own Earth-Star Alliance.
When humans allowed them to enter the Earth-Star Alliance, it was only at that time that humans had just completed a complete victory against a powerful alien race, and their vitality was severely damaged, so they had to make repairs.
If you fight against this unexpectedly discovered powerful alien race, you are likely to put yourself in an extremely dangerous state.
With the outcome unpredictable, humans finally chose to let them join the Earth-Star Alliance.
Even if humans fought desperately against them and won, they would probably have left themselves in the weakest state. Then there might be more vultures flying towards them, trying to kill them before they die. Have a fresh bite.
Now half a century has passed since that war, and mankind has now recovered.
After all, the technological level of the interstellar age allows mankind to return to its past level very quickly as long as there is no war.
In addition, because of the victory in the war, based on the winner-take-all principle, the defeated alien race also became the nourishment for humankind to develop and recover again.
Fifty years later, when mankind reorganized large-scale exploration of unknown star fields in deep space, it was natural that the alien race would be moved.
They want to participate. Originally, humans did not care much about such a request. After all, since other alien races have joined the Earth-Star Alliance, they will be invited to participate in space exploration.
Of course, this is not only a symbol of friendship and alliance, but also has the purpose of weakening the opponent's strength. After all, the universe is so huge, no matter how strong the civilization is, it is impossible to say that it can be 100% guaranteed that it will be safe and sound. It's about exploring the universe.
Danger is everywhere in the entire universe, and if you are not careful, there will be a disaster that will destroy the ship and kill people.
The alien races that have entered the Earth-Star Alliance may forget their identities if they cannot be beaten from time to time.
In addition to the wars that must be participated in every time, deep space exploration is naturally the best choice in peacetime.
But what makes people a little angry is that this time, the alien race that has only joined for more than half a century agrees to space exploration, but it has to send out its own fleet while sending humans to form a fleet. fleet for deep space exploration.
This is already a very obvious provocation to mankind. Not only does it want to seize mankind's dominant position in the Earth-Star Alliance, but it also wants to show its strength by sending a fleet alone to explore unknown areas of the universe.
You must know that even humans have never done such a thing. After all, humans are the leaders of the Earth-Star Alliance. If they do not allow those alien races to join their fleets and monitor them, they will do this.
Everything is meaningless.
But everything that alien race has done now makes humans look no different from other alien races. Instead, they feel like their subordinates.
Human beings naturally need to respond to such things, otherwise, they will not be able to survive in the alliance they have formed.
However, humans made a decision that all alien joining races could not imagine.
That is, all the races of the Earth Star Alliance will hold a vote to make a final decision on whether to agree to the alien race's proposal.
At that time, there were not so many alien joining races in the human Earth-Star Alliance, but there were only thirteen or four.
But during the voting, there were actually three or four votes that agreed with the alien race's decision, and two or three abstained from voting. In the end, humans won with an extremely slim advantage.
All races at that time remained silent at almost the same time, because the result seemed to be that humans had achieved their intentions, and the alien race had failed.
But that alien race, which has only joined the Earth-Star Alliance for more than half a century, can get such a voting result, which actually explains a lot of problems.
If anyone dares to say anything at this time, he will definitely draw the anger of mankind onto himself, and only a fool would do that.
That alien race is called Sap. It is a race that looks very similar to humans, except that compared to humans, the upper body is shorter and the lower body length is different. They are completely the opposite, with long upper limbs and short lower limbs. They look like Orangutans are very similar.
However, they are extremely thin and look like individual stick insects. The overall look is very weird.
After receiving the voting results, Sapp did not appear very angry. Instead, he joined the human joint exploration fleet step by step.
It was a very large fleet, with hundreds of millions of spaceships. Humans accounted for more than half, but Sapp occupied two-thirds of the remaining half. He was the second largest dispatch in that fleet. fleet.
However, this is destined to be a journey full of conflicts.
It seems peaceful along the way, but the battle between Sapp and humans has actually reached a fever pitch. Sapp has been competing with humans for control of the fleet, whether it is the direction of travel, the vanguard army, or anything else. The layout is constantly provoking humans.
The two sides had reached a level of tension, but even though Sapp continued to challenge human leadership, the fleet eventually left the territory of the Earth-Star Alliance for nearly a hundred light years.
During this process, although no life planets were discovered, a large number of resource planets were discovered, as well as other strategic key points in the galaxy.
Although the two sides collided constantly during this process, they still reached a certain tacit understanding, which did not directly affect the actions of the entire fleet.
Just when everyone thought that both sides would continue to explore in peace and harmony, an accident occurred.
The human fleet attacked Sap's fleet without warning, as well as the alien races who voted for Sap, or voted to remain neutral. This was something no one expected.
It was originally thought that humans only had 50 million spaceships, including only 20 million escort warships, which was not enough to completely confront the fleets of Sap and other alien races.
However, among the 50 million human spacecraft, there are actually 20 million warships hidden among those scientific research spacecraft, which is a complete combat fleet.
And that's not all. When the human warships started fighting, a new human fleet appeared directly behind Sapp's fleet, totaling 30 million.
There were a total of 70 million human fleets on both sides, surrounding the fleets of Sap and other alien races.
Except for those alien races that were on the side of humans from the beginning, the fleets of the remaining alien races were all annihilated.
Originally, those guys thought that humans would not be so heartless.
They will rarely be given a chance to negotiate, but when humans attack, they are merciless and have no intention of letting them live.
After three days, those alien races were completely annihilated.
None of their warships could escape, and they all became garbage and wreckage hundreds of light years away.
Those alien races that are still left behind can be said to have been trembling. If humans hadn't clearly told them that they would only fight those who betrayed the alliance, I'm afraid they would have knelt down on the spot.
Of course, they know that this is a high-sounding excuse, but this excuse is already very reassuring to them.
After all, this shows that humans will not extend their anger to them, and the remaining alien fleets immediately expressed their intention to fight with humans against those who betrayed the alliance.
Although they know that this is a war for humans to eradicate those races that dare to fight against themselves and challenge their status in the Earth-Star Alliance, but since they chose humans in the first place, they can only go to the dark side and repeat villains. , as humans often say, it will never end well.
However, their proposal was declined by humans. As for the reason, humans told them very clearly that the war had already started.
They just need to continue exploring the universe. As for the alien races in the Earth-Star Alliance behind them, they were actually targeted by humans more than fifty years ago.
At that time, humans were actually unwilling to face the sudden appearance of the Sarps. However, because humans at that time had just experienced a war, they simply did not have enough strength to fight against the alien race Sarps. I couldn't bear it anymore.
But from the day Sapp appeared, humans have been preparing for war against them.
After fifty years, the time has finally come.
Because humans had recovered from the pain of the past wars and regained their strength, they decided to take action against Sapp.
The little difference is just because the Earth-Star Alliance has changed a lot in fifty years. That is, other alien races have some other ideas after seeing the powerful Sapp. .
Fortunately, the human spies among the alien races at that time sent back the news early, so that humans were not left defenseless.
Because of this, humanity's combat plan against Sapp was delayed for several years.
This time humans explore the unknown star fields in deep space, it is actually just the initial stage of the plan.
It attracted the attention of all races in the Earth-Star Alliance, and it was at this time that the conflict between humans and Sapp became completely public.
It seems like a very bad situation, but it is exactly what humans want.
