Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 853: The Spirit of the Great Voyage
What is good and what is evil?
Looking at the information sent by humans, the Deep Blue people couldn't help but think about these two ancient concepts again.

In the past, it was only a judgment of the concepts of good and evil within the Deep Blue Star society, but now it has to rise to the level of cosmic civilization.

Through humans, they gradually understood that the cosmic society is a society without rules, so there is no standard for good and evil. They can only say that some civilized behavioral codes are good if they conform to their own moral standards, and evil otherwise.

However, what some civilizations consider evil may be considered great good in the eyes of other civilizations.

The cosmic society is a jungle with many animals in it. It is difficult for herbivores to have a common worldview with carnivores. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.

The Deep Blues feel that their moral values ​​are very similar to those of the Covenant, at least they think so when it comes to treating aliens.

As for the Star Covenant taking the biosphere resources on the Deep Blue Planet, the people of Deep Blue had no complaints after they figured this out. On the contrary, they felt it was not enough. That is why they suddenly felt that the Star Covenant was too kind and too generous.

The Deep Blue people have already understood that much of the knowledge the Star Alliance has shared has actually been acquired through untold hardships, and some is valuable experience gained through wars, or obtained through the dangerous interstellar trading market. Every piece of information is extremely valuable.

The Star Alliance was so generous in telling them this valuable information. They deeply realized that although this knowledge did not involve technology, it could help their Deep Blue Star civilization, which had never come into contact with other cosmic civilizations, avoid many deadly traps.

There is nothing wrong with calling it a beginner's guide to surviving in space.

From this perspective, it really wasn't a big deal for the Star Alliance to take some things from their planet. Even after this, many Deep Blue Star people suggested that in order to repay the Star Alliance, Deep Blue Star should be directly open to the Star Alliance.

This proposal was quickly unanimously agreed upon by the three most powerful nations on Deep Blue Star. The leaders of the three nations reached a consensus as soon as they discussed it. They even went a step further and planned to invite the Star Alliance to travel to their planet.

Since they don't agree anyway and the Star Alliance is here, we might as well take the initiative to invite them and put the matter on the table. There is also another advantage of doing so, which is that it directly announces the existence of aliens to the world in one go.

The leaders of the three countries all agreed that the benefits of doing so outweigh the disadvantages.

First, it can open the eyes of the people of Deep Blue Star to see the universe. Second, it can speed up the process of integrating all the countries of Deep Blue Star, allowing the three countries to represent the entire Deep Blue Star from just the three of them privately to becoming a truly legal authority representing the entire Deep Blue Star.

The third is to correct the Deep Blue Planet’s beautiful vision of the cosmic society and establish a correct view of the universe.

……

They acted immediately after their announcement. After some discussion, the leaders of the three countries secretly established a basic rights framework called the Deep Blue Star Military and Political Alliance, and issued a formal invitation to the Star Alliance to visit Deep Blue Star.

At the same time, they solemnly submitted an application to the Star Alliance using very formal documents, stating that Deep Blue Star was willing and voluntary to apply to join the Star Alliance.

There was nothing wrong with the investigation, but the application did come as a bit of a surprise to humans.

If it were in the past, humans might have agreed, but things are different now. Although humans also hope that the Star Alliance they lead will have many races to make up for possible racial deficiencies, such things are bound to be unpredictable.

Therefore, even if they rule over tens of thousands of intelligent life forms and civilizations, there will not be a single one that can make up for their ideological flaws, and those with the potential to develop special technologies are even rarer. Otherwise, the Silver Heart Alliance would have been invincible long ago.

After understanding the truth, humans changed from their initial desire to rule over tens of millions of races to a mentality of indifference and going with the flow.

Moreover, it is not easy to cultivate a civilization, so humans were not as excited as before after discovering the Deep Blue Planet.

Besides, the Star Alliance actually has Booker species now, which were bought by humans from the dynamic picture civilization back then. Now the level of their scientists is still at the first-level civilization stage.

There is no difference whether there is one more Deep Blue Star civilization or one less Deep Blue Star civilization.

However, since the Deep Blue Star people made such a request, humans did not decisively refuse, but of course did not agree immediately.

Instead, he told the Deep Blue people that the time was not yet right and that they could first become provisional members and wait before joining the Star Alliance when the time was right.

As for when the time is ripe, that is up to humans to decide. To be on the safe side, humans must at least reach the fifth level of civilization. Of course, humans did not tell the Deep Blue Stars this explicitly.

"Are you leaving later? If we want to find you in the starry sky after we reach interstellar civilization, which direction can we find you?" asked the Deep Blue Starman.

This question really stumped humans.

"The sea of ​​stars is vast. It is fate to meet you again. It is normal not to meet you again. You will understand when you really step into the starry sky..."

The human representing the Star Alliance said this, and then continued with emotion as if he had made up his mind: "If you really still have the intention and the ability, then find a way to go on a long voyage!"

"The Great Voyage?"

"Yes, you may not find us in other places, but we are definitely on the great voyage. As long as you are heading towards the same destination, we will meet again." The human finally told the story of the great voyage. He was not pretending, but after careful consideration, he felt that the spirit of the great voyage should be passed on.

If they cannot meet again by then, the Deep Blue people will also embark on a long voyage. It seems to be to find the Star Alliance in their hearts, but in fact it is the road of hope pointed out by the Star Alliance to them, which is definitely what the pioneers hope to see.

Humans feel that since they have inherited the legacy of the pioneers and have established a relationship with the awakeners, they must embark on a great voyage, and primitive civilizations like the Deep Blue Planet may be the best medium for passing on the spirit of the great voyage.

The pioneers’ great voyages have been interrupted in the Milky Way for billions of years and cannot be interrupted any longer.

The seeds of hope must always be spread. Since you have received the pioneer’s message in a bottle, why not become one yourself and continue to contribute to the hope of civilization!
"The Milky Way is only a cradle after all. Our goal is the Boötes Void. The Pioneers went there, and we, the Star Alliance, will also go there, to the deepest part of the void, to find the last glimmer of hope for civilization. We hope that you will do the same in the future, and hope that you can also pass on the spirit of the Great Voyage."
