"Blue Star Civilization is growing too fast. At their speed, in a few hundred years, they may even have the opportunity to hit the third-level civilization!" Qing Gu said, "This time our Star Thieves plan is because of their warp speed. Battleships appeared and were destroyed.”
"If the Blue Star Civilization cannot be loyal to the Orion Court, it will be a more serious threat than the Black Sea Civilization!" Zi Gu's evaluation was already very serious.
The Black Sea Civilization was once one of the three main civilizations of the Star Trade Group, a fourth-level civilization.
"The declining Black Sea civilization is indeed not as big a threat to us as the Blue Star civilization." Jianggu agreed, "I would like to ask the Marquis of Yunxiao for instructions on this matter. If the Blue Star civilization cannot be used by us, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible. To avoid endless trouble!"
"As it should be!" Everyone agreed.
Jianggu entered the virtual universe and reported the matter to Marquis Yunxiao.
"Blue Star Civilization has entered Level 2.5 civilization so quickly?" After hearing this, Marquis Yunxiao frowned slightly and said to himself: "Sure enough, someone is helping them behind the scenes!"
"Sir," Jianggu said, "It is simply impossible for the Blue Star civilization to wipe out the Zerg in the solar system. They actually did it. There must be an advanced civilization behind them."
"The reason why we didn't attack them directly at the beginning was because of this concern."
"We've been investigating over the years."
"At first we thought it was the Black Sea Civilization that was behind it, but later we found out that the Black Sea Civilization's support for them was very limited, and it wasn't them that supported it."
"It's possible that the civilization behind them is higher than the fourth-level civilization!"
"Who are they?" Marquis Yunxiao was also thinking, "Those two civilizations in charge of the Star Trade Group? There is a possibility that if they are supporting the Blue Star Civilization behind the scenes, they can use the Blue Star Civilization to annex the Black Sea Civilization!"
"It may also be the civilizations of other spiral arms. The other spiral arms have been unified. Those guys are eyeing the territory of the Orion Arm, and they may also intervene..."
Marquis Yunxiao thought of many possibilities, but couldn't decide which one it was.
He then said: "Since the Blue Star civilization's attitude is ambiguous, let's force them to express their stance."
"You directly inform the Blue Star Civilization that they must make a choice before the initiation ceremony begins! If they stand on the opposite side of us, even if there is someone behind them, they will have to pay the price!"
"Yes! Sir!" Jiang Gu bowed her head respectfully.
There are less than ten years left before the Blue Star Civilization joins the induction ceremony of Galaxy Light.
Jianggu directly contacted Blue Star Civilization in the virtual universe and asked for negotiation.
In the Blue Star Civilization Office, the two sat across from each other.
Jianggu was dressed in red, and her face was as delicate and elegant as a sculpture. She sat cross-legged and said softly: "Mr. He, ninety years have passed since we met above."
"Should Blue Star Civilization join the Orion Court, it's time to give an explanation, right?"
He Xingzhou chuckled and said, "It has indeed been a long time."
"I'm worried too. There are different opinions within civilization, and they haven't come to a conclusion yet."
Jiang Gu smiled slightly and said: "This seems to be different from what I know. As far as I know, Blue Star Civilization is a very united civilization. As the commander-in-chief, Mr. He should have strong decision-making power."
Mentioning this, He Xingzhou sighed and said, "That was before."
"You don't know, I strongly advocate the expansion of civilization. But over the years, our expansion has not been smooth. Can't we occupy your territory? We can't afford to offend the Black Sea Civilization, so we can only expand to some remote star systems. .”
"But these local stars are very rampant and have caused us great losses. Because of this incident, we are very worried, so our decision-making has also been affected."
He Xingzhou deliberately reminded Jianggu about the star thief. He wanted to be conciliatory and conciliatory, but Jianggu said, "Mr. He doesn't need to beat around the bush."
"The so-called star thieves are the affiliated civilization of our Pleiades civilization. They also attacked you under my instruction!"
"Ah, this... you are so refreshing!" He Xingzhou didn't expect that she didn't even deny it.
If you think about it carefully, this is something that everyone knows very well, and there is no point in denying it.
And as the stronger party, Jiang Gu didn't bother to deny it. Now she wanted to use her strength to pressure He Xingzhou and force him to make a choice!
Jiang Gu's voice became colder and she said: "Blue Star Civilization wants to have both sides of the issue between the Star Trade Group and the Orion Royal Court. That's a wishful thinking!"
"You have to make a choice."
"The geographical location of Blue Star Civilization is between our two major forces."
Her eyes gradually became sharper, "So, once we start a war, the grass in the middle will definitely be the first to be pulled out!"
He Xingzhou's expression became serious and he said: "Thank you Jianggu for reminding me, we will definitely consider this issue carefully."
"I hope you can make a decision before the initiation ceremony begins. Otherwise, we will think that you have joined the Pleiades!" Jiang Gu said directly, "Everyone will be enemies by then, and we can ignore all the rules now. obey!"
"I understand." He Xingzhou nodded.
He Xingzhou specifically asked Bai Shizao to tell Huo Sen of the Xingmao Group about the discussion between He Xingzhou and Jiang Gu.
Sure enough, a month later, Huo Sen asked to discuss with He Xingzhou.
In Galaxy City, in the meeting room of the Star Trade Group, Huo Sen asked tentatively: "I heard that the Pleiades civilization is negotiating with you again?"
"Mr. Huo Sen is really well informed," He Xingzhou said.
Huo Sen thought to himself, didn't you deliberately reveal this news?
The reason why he "took the bait" was because Shiraishi Zao told him that the Blue Star civilization had broken through the level 2.5 civilization and possessed warp-speed battleships and anti-matter weapons!
Not to mention the Orion Arm, even if it expands to the Milky Way, there are not many level 2.5 civilizations.
A warp engine and antimatter reactor are enough to choke most civilizations!
The geographical location of Blue Star Civilization is important again, and its status has once again risen in the eyes of the Pleiades.
Huo Sen smiled and said: "Presumably Mr. He did not agree to their proposal."
He Xingzhou said: "They have given new conditions, which are very attractive. I am also considering it."
Huo Sen couldn't figure it out. Did the other party really impose additional conditions?
Before he came, he was well prepared and said, "Even if their conditions improve, I don't think Mr. He will agree."
Huo Sen said confidently: "I have learned a little about Blue Star Civilization. You have relied on the war with the Zerg all the way. You will definitely not become a vassal of others."
He Xingzhou smiled and said nothing, "But the opponent's strength is too strong. If we don't agree, they will start a war! No matter how you say it, we are only a second-level civilization. Against the third-level civilization and the fourth-level civilization, There is only one way to be destroyed."
Huo Sen understood what he meant. He was just looking for a reliable safety barrier!
He thought for a while and said: "Okay, then I will also show my sincerity."
"If the Blue Star Civilization joins the Star Trade Group, in addition to the previous trade convenience, the Star Trade Group is willing to build a space outpost near the Blue Star Civilization and station a star field-level fleet to provide protection!"
"Build a space outpost and a star-level fleet?" He Xingzhou did not expect that he would say this. The resources invested were more than ten times more than the previously agreed terms!
The Star Trade Group is actually willing to build an outpost and station a star-level fleet for Blue Star Civilization to trade and protect them?
He Xingzhou thought it was unlikely. He then thought about it. It was probably because this outpost had to be built in the first place, and the Blue Star civilization was between the two major forces. The benefits of star civilization.
But even so, if there is a Star Trade Group sentinel tower near the Blue Star Civilization, coupled with a star field-level fleet, the security will indeed be much improved.
Huosen continued: "Once a war begins, a war involving level three civilization or above, the fleet from our outpost will definitely participate in the war. You can rest assured about this."
He Xingzhou said: "If this is the case, the conditions of Xingmao Group are indeed more attractive to us."
This was what he was most worried about before. If the Marquis of Yunxiao broke out and directly went out to fight with the weapons of a more advanced civilization, they would have no resistance.
Now the Black Sea Civilization cannot protect itself. It can barely fight against the Pleiades Civilization, but it will be very difficult to fight against the forces of the Marquis of Yunxiao.
"Then let's talk in detail."
After further exchanges between the two parties, He Xingzhou was basically determined to join the Xingmao Group.
In fact, even if the other party doesn't improve the conditions, he will still choose this way. It would be better to ask for more benefits now.
After the two parties signed the agreement, the Star Trade Group immediately started working on the space outpost.
"The space outpost is located in a star system called Seri fifty light-years away from the solar system. Our star field-level fleet has a speed of more than a thousand times and can reach the solar system within half a month. ." Hossen said.
This distance is the result of their negotiation.
If it is too close, it will affect the expansion of Blue Star Civilization, and He Xingzhou is not happy. If it is too far away, if a war breaks out, it will be too late to provide support.
After the site was decided, Pleiades began construction of the outpost.
One year later, in the Serui star system, a warp fleet withdrew from its warp voyage and came here.
"Release mining ships, engineering ships, and space robots to start building space outposts." They are a fleet from the Ptolemaic civilization.
The construction of outposts was extremely fast, and the expansion of unfamiliar star systems was a common occurrence for the Ptolemaic civilization, which had an entire star cluster.
In just one year, a space outpost was quietly created.
And this phenomenon was eventually detected by the Orion Throne.
This place is in the war zone between the two forces, and there are often activities of reconnaissance ships.
"The Star Trade Group has built a space outpost here!" Marquis Yunxiao said dissatisfied, "It seems that the rumor that Blue Star Civilization joined the Star Trade Group is true."
Both sides of their forces have spies in each other, and Marquis Yunxiao has already learned about this.
"In this case, we must make them suffer a little!"
"Next year will be the initiation ceremony of Blue Star Civilization, and I will give them a big gift!"
…
The following year, the initiation ceremony for Blue Star Civilization to join Galaxy Light officially began.
Galaxy Light has strict requirements for recruiting members, and it often takes thousands of years for a new member to join. Level one civilizations are not eligible to join, and only one percent of level two civilizations can join.
Blue Star Civilization joined the Galaxy Light, and many civilizations came to celebrate.
In Galaxy City, the headquarters of Galaxy Light, hundreds of members celebrated the joining of Blue Star Civilization.
"The members who came today are all members of the Orion Arm, and other spiral arm members of the Milky Way did not participate," said Hossen.
He Xingzhou nodded. Communication and trade between the spiral arms were more difficult, and they belonged to different forces, so they would naturally not come.
Almost all of the members who came to celebrate were members of the Star Trade Group.
"Congratulations, Mr. He, Blue Star Civilization has joined the Star Trade Group. We will strengthen communication in the future!" Leaders of alien civilizations continued to come over to talk to He Xingzhou.
"I heard that the biotechnology of Blue Star Civilization is very good. Our civilization recently wants to create a clone army. I wonder if there is any chance of cooperation?" someone asked.
"Of course!" When He Xingzhou heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "We are not only good at biotechnology, we are also good at interstellar construction."
Bai Shizao introduced: "Mr. He Xingzhou is a second-level interstellar builder. He has won the rookie competition before and built the Dyson Cloud in the first-level civilization!"
"This is only part of his ability!"
As soon as he promoted it, everyone said: "Then we have exactly what we need!"
Various technological creations are related to the development of civilization. Dyson spheres, or other technological giants, each of them can make civilization advance by leaps and bounds.
There are not many civilizations that can actually build them. This feature of He Xingzhou and Blue Star Civilization made other members more interested, and many people came to seek cooperation.
He Xingzhou had no time to spare. Fortunately, he brought commanders such as Xu Zhilan and He Hongwei to attend the meeting.
Everyone is surrounded by several important figures from alien civilizations, discussing the possibility of cooperation.
"Dyson sphere? We can build it, and we can also provide mechanical legions! Sublight speed warships for sale! Genetic modification! Planet modification and other services!" Cui Weimin is already promoting the "business scope" of Blue Star Civilization.
During the exchange, various orders came in one after another, most of which were the needs of civilizations below level 2.5.
More advanced civilizations still look down upon their technological creations.
Even so, He Xingzhou estimated that if these transactions are completed, the resources available to Blue Star Civilization will be enough to build a fleet of more than a hundred warp speed warships!
This is equivalent to developing ten star systems!
"Profit with blood!" He Xingzhou couldn't help but feel lucky that the original plan to establish the Interstellar Construction Department was correct. It had trained many talents for Blue Star Civilization, and now these talents can play a role.
Just as they were gathering together to discuss win-win cooperation, an uninvited guest came to the hall.
A flash of light appeared, and someone shouted: "Galaxy Noble, Lord Marquis of Yunxiao is here!"
Everyone looked towards the entrance and saw a man riding on a luxurious aerospace vehicle, slowly flying in from the entrance. Around him, slaves of various races were crawling on both sides to clear the way for him.
"Marquis Yunxiao?" Everyone was shocked, what was he doing here? At this gathering, everyone is a member of the Star Trade Group!
