Chapter 543 The Huge Technological Gap

If only a part of the electromagnetic wave signal is interfered with, it is not a difficult task. However, when this information has covered the diameter of an entire light year, it is undoubtedly impossible to block them.

However, faced with these suggestions from other alien intelligent creatures, the leader of the alien civilization seemed a little embarrassed.

"This is indeed something we must strive for, but... will the Blue Star Civilization really agree to our demands? Our demands do sound a bit too harsh. Of course, I don't mean to lower the standard immediately, but if the Blue Star Civilization rejects our demands, we must find a backup plan."

Other alien intelligent creatures also knew that it would be difficult for the Blue Star civilization to easily agree to the conditions they proposed, so they quickly developed their backup plans.

If the Blue Star Civilization does not agree to the requests they initially made, they can station their space fleet farther away, but in any case, they will definitely not give up the deployment of space forces.

After all, this is something that a highly developed civilization must do. In the vast universe, there are too many things that may threaten the safety of its own civilization. Therefore, making certain arrangements in space is a very conventional move.

What's more, being so far away from Blue Star, the Blue Star civilization has no qualifications or ability to interfere with these matters. If the Blue Star civilization cannot even agree to such conditions, then there is really no point in continuing the negotiations.

What the alien civilization did not expect was that after they proposed to deploy a space fleet on the edge of this range, the Blue Star civilization actually agreed to their request very readily.

"One light year away from Blue Star, you can do whatever you want without asking for our consent. Of course, we still have our bottom line. Once you step into this range, Blue Star Civilization will take some measures to protect itself and will fight you to the end..."

After finalizing the other details, the two sides finally reached a final peace agreement.

The core content of this agreement is to reach a clear dividing line between the two civilizations. As long as both sides do not cross this dividing line, the two civilizations can temporarily coexist in a peaceful manner and neither will approach the coverage of the other civilization.

The most important reason for reaching such an agreement is that this alien civilization is worried that its specific location information will be exposed by the Blue Star civilization. As long as they deploy space teams outside this range, they will be able to take the initiative in the confrontation with the Blue Star civilization.

And blocking this alien civilization in an area one light year away from the Blue Star is also an acceptable result for the Blue Star civilization.

After all, the area actually controlled by the Blue Star civilization is far less than a light year away. Such a huge safe area can provide enough buffer for the Blue Star civilization.

However, Song Xiyun still had some confusion about why Ning Chen agreed so readily to the request made by this alien civilization.

"Ning Chen, we can obviously continue to negotiate some conditions with them. There is no need to directly ask them for these demands, right? They can arbitrarily deploy space battle teams outside this range, which undoubtedly poses a huge security threat to us. Even if we can expand this safe area a little bit, it is also a condition that can be fought for, right?"

This feels like buying clothes in a shopping mall. Many times you can bargain first, and there is no need to buy them directly at the original price.

Ning Chen did not show any emotion after hearing Song Xiyun's words. Instead, he patiently explained:

"Of course, we can continue to discuss these conditions, but it is actually meaningless. A safety distance of one light year is the most suitable safety distance for us. If we expand this safety distance, it will make our space deployment work more difficult..."

After listening to Ning Chen's explanation, Song Xiyun began to understand Ning Chen's good intentions.

Ning Chen naturally did not refuse to negotiate for more conditions with this alien civilization because he was too lazy. In fact, before negotiating with this alien civilization, Ning Chen had already conducted very rigorous calculations to determine the most appropriate safety distance range.

With the current capabilities of the Blue Star civilization, the one-light-year space layout has almost reached its limit. Even if this range is expanded by just one-tenth, it will be difficult for the Blue Star civilization to completely cover this safety circle, and some security loopholes will be left.

Under such risks, a wider safety distance range is actually meaningless. When the two sides really confront each other, this safety circle can be easily broken through by the other side.

Rather than suffering such consequences, it is better to set the safety distance reasonably from the beginning to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future.

As for the fact that this alien civilization wanted to deploy a space fleet on the edge of this range, Ning Chen had no need to stop it.

"In fact, as long as this alien civilization is willing, they can attack us at any time without worrying about the risk of their location information being leaked. In this case, there is no need for us to go too far, but to promote the conclusion of a peace agreement between the two sides as much as possible. As long as their space fleet remains outside this safe distance, they will definitely not be able to reach the Blue Planet for at least 20 years."

"Ning Chen, is our time calculation too optimistic? According to our previous analysis, this alien civilization already has very powerful space technology, which allows their aircraft to reach a speed of one tenth of the speed of light. With this speed, they only need ten years to travel a distance of one light year."

"No, Song Xiyun, this is only the fastest speed in theory. It does not take into account the process of acceleration and deceleration. If they just accelerate from zero, a distance of one light year will not even allow them to reach this fastest speed, and they will have to stop and decelerate. According to this speculation, even if we make a pessimistic estimate, twenty years is the fastest time they can reach Blue Star."

"But Ning Chen, if they accelerate their space fleet in advance and allow them to reach a speed of one tenth of the speed of light before reaching the border of this safe zone, then this time can be greatly advanced."

"This is indeed an exploitable bug, but if they really do this, we will definitely be able to detect it in advance. Because the deceleration of the space fleet is not something that can be done easily. If they still do not perform any deceleration procedures before reaching this border, it will be no different from directly breaking through our safe zone..."

After a pause, Ning Chen continued: "This incident can be regarded as the only face we have given to this alien civilization. When the day comes when we really fight, I will make them realize how stupid it is to confront the Blue Star civilization."

…………

In the following period of time, both the Blue Star civilization and this alien civilization strictly followed the agreement signed by both parties and made their own arrangements inside and outside this safety circle.

This alien civilization did not immediately show any signs of continuing to attack the Blue Star civilization. All of their space fleets were deployed at a distance greater than one light year from the Blue Star and did not dare to cross this distance without permission.

After all, what they are most worried about right now is that the Blue Star civilization has leaked their specific location information. At least before the Blue Star civilization really does this, they must first think of a corresponding response strategy.

The Blue Star civilization also sent some aerospace fighters and other weapons to the edge of this safe zone. Although these aerospace fighters may not be a match for the alien civilization's space fleet, they can at least play a certain reconnaissance role.

After these aerospace fighters gradually arrived at the edge, Ning Chen also noticed some abnormal behaviors of this alien civilization's space fleet.

These space fleets are not stationed outside this area in a nearly static state, but all of them adopt a "patrol" posture, moving back and forth in space.

This reciprocating motion did not seem to be anything unusual, but Ning Chen and Song Xiyun soon understood the purpose of this arrangement.

"This alien civilization is really cunning. If they are stationed in this patrolling posture, it will be very convenient for them to launch an attack on Blue Planet at any time. It seems that the peace agreement they reached with us was only out of helplessness. They don't really want to give up attacking us."

"This is natural, but these actions do not violate our commitment, and they may not really be a bad thing for us."

Ning Chen's attitude towards this matter is much more optimistic than Song Xiyun's. It seems that this matter can bring some benefits to Ning Chen.

"So... Ning Chen, what exactly are the benefits we can get from this matter?"

In response to Song Xiyun's question, Ning Chen sent a biological program file to Song Xiyun through the brain's biological computer.

"Song Xiyun, through the analysis of the movement of the alien civilization's space fleet these days, we have been able to restore the various performances of these space fleets. This information will be of great help to us in our future fight against these space fleets..."

Looking at the files sent by Ning Chen, Song Xiyun was also shocked.

Part of Song Xiyun's astonishment came from the fact that Ning Chen had compiled this information. After all, this was information that was obtained from a light year away, and its difficulty was no less than observing an ant on the blue planet from the moon.

Moreover, the information Ning Chen learned was not any different from that Song Xiyun learned. Using the same limited amount of information, Ning Chen was able to complete a task that Song Xiyun could not even imagine.

"Ning Chen... your ability to restore information is truly terrifying. Previously, I thought that with just this information, we could only restore the simple framework of these space fleets at best. But the work you have done has clearly restored more than 90% of the information of these space fleets..."

What also surprised Song Xiyun was the powerful performance of these space fleets.

Not only do they have extremely fast speeds, but their attack power is also incredibly strong. If these space fleets were really allowed to enter the inner solar system, even a hundred blue stars would probably not be enough for them to destroy.

In the face of these powerful space fleets, even if the Blue Star civilization dispatched the most powerful weapons available, it would not cause any obvious damage to these space fleets.

"The gap in strength between us is indeed much greater than our optimistic expectations. This means that our strengths are not at the same level at all. If we want to truly be able to fight against them, we need to develop at least a new generation, or even two generations of technology..."

After saying this, Ning Chen's expression gradually calmed down.

"But no matter what, it is much better to understand the true situation of the other party than to be hostile to them. You know, our civilization level was hundreds of years behind theirs, but now, we have a chance to catch up with their technology in a few decades, or even shorter..."

Given the incredible speed of technological development of the Blue Star civilization, it is no wonder that this alien civilization would regard the Blue Star civilization as a terrible threat and dare not allow it to continue developing.

After deploying enough space fleets outside this safe area, this alien civilization did not dare to maintain this state, but continued to study how to fight against the Blue Star civilization.

"With the size of our current space fleet, it is enough to reach the Blue Star civilization within 20 years and completely destroy it. But even if we can destroy the Blue Star civilization, we still can't stop them from revealing our location information..."

It doesn't feel good to have the other party holding the handle on you, so how to stop the Blue Star civilization from doing this becomes the focus of their discussion next.
