Chapter 629: The First Contact of the Galaxy Overlord

"Chinese civilization?"

Here in the Cortez Empire fleet, Captain Blo looked at the message sent back by the other party and thought quickly in his mind.

"It seems that there is no information about this civilization in our database?"

"This is a new level 3 civilization!"

Buluo said to his deputy Puao beside him.

"Yes, Captain, this is a new Level 3 civilization."

Puao then said: "Including the Chinese civilization, we now know of five level 3 civilizations."

"Blue Moon Civilization, Bright Empire, Holy River Civilization, Thousand Races Federation, plus the Chinese Civilization and our Cortez Empire, there are now six known Level 3 civilizations!"

"I don't know how far the Chinese civilization has developed."

"It is definitely not as powerful as our Cortez Empire. From what we know now, our Cortez Empire is the most powerful."

"Not only do we have a vast territory with millions of planets with life, but our warp engine technology is also the most advanced. It is already the third generation of warp engines. Each warp flight can cross a long distance of 1 light year. In this regard, we have a great advantage."

Buluo said very confidently, then thought for a moment and said, "Reply to them that we are the great Cortez Empire fleet, and we hope to have friendly exchanges and get along with your civilization!"

"Yes!" Puao replied quickly after hearing it.

Soon, Ji Xingchen received a reply from Buluo.

"The Cortez Empire?"

"I didn't expect that this has already developed to the level of a Level 3 civilization, and there is even such a form as an empire."

"Don't mention it. Although the empire has obvious drawbacks, if we encounter an emperor who is capable and willing to vigorously develop science and technology, we may be able to break through to level 3 civilization in one fell swoop."

"Along the way, we have encountered many civilizations with federal, democratic, and republican systems, but none of them have been able to leave their home galaxy."

"One of the most important reasons is that these civilizations have a characteristic, which is that they cannot concentrate their efforts on major tasks. If a civilization wants to leave its home galaxy, it must concentrate its efforts on developing warp technology."

"Researching warp technology requires a lot of resources, manpower, and financial resources. It is very difficult to make a breakthrough without a strong supporter."

“Even if there is a breakthrough in theory, it will not succeed if no one is willing to spend huge resources and financial resources to continue to invest in it.”

"Because the risk is too great and there is no hope of success, it takes a lot of perseverance to make a huge investment in order to have a chance to break through to level 3 civilization."

"So normally, a civilization must have developed to the peak of Level 2 civilization. The power of a civilization must be extremely strong, and it can easily come up with the resources and wealth to research warp technology. And all aspects are mature before a breakthrough can be achieved."

"It is because of Feiyun Technology that we were able to overcome a long period of accumulation and directly leapfrog to Level 3 civilization."

After receiving the reply, everyone quickly started discussing it.

"Communicate with the other party according to the strategy formulated by the dialogue and negotiation experts, and try to obtain more information about the development of the Cortez Empire and the entire galactic civilization."

"Yes!"

Ji Xingchen no longer had command authority at this time, but because of quantum communication, the Solar System Base knew everything here clearly.

Currently, the Solar System Headquarters is in charge of communication with the Cortez Empire, and the scientific expedition team only serves as a transit station.

The Solar System Base Camp attaches great importance to this.

Because the Cortez Empire is also a level 3 civilization, it is a truly powerful civilization that can stand on equal footing with itself.

Soon, the two sides began to communicate and exchange ideas.

Compared to our caution, the people of the Cortez Empire are much more confident, and naturally a lot of information is revealed.

"Everyone!"

"The location of the Cortez Empire is probably in the southern Milky Way in the central region of the Milky Way. It is about 3 light-years away from the galaxy where the Milky Way expedition team is located, and about 5 light-years away from the Orion Arm where our solar system is located!"

In a virtual world, a group of scientists, sociologists, and negotiation experts gathered together to quickly analyze the situation of the Cortez Empire.

"According to what they said, the Cortez Empire has a history of nearly 5 years, and has been a Level 3 civilization for nearly 1000 years. They have currently occupied more than one million planets with life, and have hundreds of thousands of subordinate civilizations, with a population of more than 1 trillion!"

"hiss!"

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

Compared with the Cortez Empire, Chinese civilization is really not good enough.

The Cortez Empire is what an interstellar civilization should look like.

It has more than one million life-bearing planets, hundreds of thousands of affiliated civilizations, and a huge population of over one trillion.

This country's strength is so strong that it is unimaginable.

"We can't offend the Cortez Empire. At least for now, we are far from being able to compare with it."

"The Cortez Empire is too powerful. With such a strong national strength, it is a truly developed Level 3 civilization. We are only halfway into the Level 3 civilization now."

"Our territory, population size, and number of subordinate civilizations are too small to compete with such a powerful civilization!"

"support!"

"We only have 16 billion people, and we only have over 100 planets with life, and even fewer that we have actually developed."

"And we don't have any affiliated civilizations yet. Affiliated civilizations are also very important and can be of great use at critical moments."

"For example, recruiting soldiers, collecting resources, etc. The Cortez Empire itself has a population of over a trillion, and the population of the hundreds of thousands of subordinate civilizations is even larger. One subordinate civilization has a population of 100 billion. The total population of these hundreds of thousands of subordinate civilizations is huge beyond imagination."

"So we can't expose our position now. Otherwise, if the Cortez Empire wants to destroy us, it will be very easy for them."

"As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. No one can guarantee that the Cortez Empire will not take advantage of our weakness to destroy us first."

"Well, I support your point of view."

"Immediately give the scientific expedition team an order not to leak any information about the location of our Chinese civilization." "As long as they don't have our interstellar coordinates, the entire Milky Way is large enough that it will be difficult for them to find us."

"Everyone, I will analyze the situation based on what I know so far."

"I can roughly infer that the warp engine technology of the Cortez Empire should be much behind ours."

"If we use the development speed of our Chinese civilization and our warp drive technology to deduce and perform computer simulations, our Chinese civilization would have a population of 1 trillion and would have taken nearly a thousand years to enter Level 3 civilization."

"The area we can occupy will be very large, enough to occupy hundreds of millions of galaxies."

"So we infer that either the other party is bragging, or they haven't been in the interstellar universe for too long, and they don't have such a vast territory with millions of planets with life."

"Either their warp technology is not good enough. The lack of warp technology has severely restricted their expansion in the interstellar universe. Therefore, even for nearly a thousand years, they are only confined to the southern Milky Way."

Some mathematicians came forward to share their own deduced models.

According to the star map of the Milky Way sent by the Cortez Empire, they divided the plane of the central area of ​​the Milky Way into four directions: east, south, west and north.

The Orion Arm corresponds to the Eastern Milky Way, and the Empire of Cortez belongs to the Southern Milky Way.

Of course, the central region of the Milky Way is not flat, but three-dimensional, and its thickness is 5000 light years.

As for how the Milky Way is divided into east, west, south, and north, this is not important.

"Hearing what you said, there is indeed a problem here."

"Either they are lying, or their warp drive technology is really not good enough."

"But our warp engine technology is developing very fast. Now our latest warp engine can cross a distance of 10 light years at a time. Is their warp engine technology worse than ours?"

"It's definitely worse than ours. If their warp spacecraft can also cross a distance of 10 light years at a time, they would have explored the entire galaxy long ago."

"With thousands of years of time, a large population, and advanced warp engines, it is not difficult to explore the entire galaxy."

"That's not necessarily true. The entire Milky Way galaxy has hundreds of billions of stars. It's not easy to explore such a huge area."

"Generally speaking, it is possible. We can build a surface from points. We just need to focus on exploring some galaxies in some areas."

"The only explanation for why they are still confined to the southern galaxy is that their warp drive technology is not good enough."

"We cannot use our development speed to measure other civilizations. After all, it only took us a dozen years to leave our home planet and our home galaxy. It can be said that our development speed is like a cheat."

"This is not the normal speed of development of civilization. We cannot use our speed to infer other civilizations. Many civilizations have developed for thousands of years and have not even left their home planet."

“It makes sense, but it still needs further verification.”

Scientists continued to analyze and infer the existing data, and soon roughly concluded that the Cortez Empire's warp technology was inferior to their own.

On the other side, on two spaceships of the Cortez Empire.

Buluo, Puao and others are also thinking about how to establish relations with the Chinese civilization so that they can conduct interstellar trade with it in the future.

Buluo and Puao explored the interstellar universe. On the one hand, they were ordered by the Cortez Empire to explore, find powerful civilizations, and understand the situation in the Eastern Milky Way.

On the other hand, they also have their own little calculations.

The Cortez Empire has entered the interstellar universe era for nearly a thousand years, so interstellar trade is naturally very developed.

However, interstellar trade with ordinary level 1 and level 2 civilizations has obviously gradually failed to satisfy their appetite. They prefer to trade with powerful interstellar cosmic civilizations that are also level 3 civilizations.

Only trade between civilizations of the same level can promote their own development and growth, and at the same time the scale of trade will be larger and the profits will be higher.

The second is trade with Level 2 civilizations. After all, Level 2 civilization is a developed civilization. Although it has not yet left its mother galaxy, it can still be regarded as a large market and the scale of trade is still acceptable.

There is not much to trade with Level 1 civilizations. Many times, the interstellar traders of the Cortez Empire directly force these Level 1 civilizations to become their subordinate civilizations in order to exploit them.

trading?

Trade is based on a relative balance of power. If the other party is not strong enough, they naturally don't mind using their fists to speak. They will swing their giant warships and cannons into the outer space of the Level 1 civilization, and then bombard it with electromagnetic cannons. Basically, all Level 1 civilizations will not be able to withstand it, and will honestly sign to become a subordinate civilization and accept the fate of being exploited.

This is similar to the colonial merchants during the Age of Exploration on Blue Planet.

They will not trade with you as long as they can rob you for free. They will only trade with you when they think they can't beat you.

Most of the great seafaring merchants worked as pirates part-time, and murder, arson and robbery were commonplace.

They were even shameless enough to issue privateering licenses to allow the pirates to share the wealth they looted.

The same situation was true within the Cortez Empire.

Now that they have encountered the Chinese civilization, Blo and Puao want to engage in interstellar trade with the Chinese civilization. As they are both level 3 civilizations, there are many things that can be traded between the two sides, and the profits involved are astonishingly huge.

"Dear Chinese civilization, we hope to conduct interstellar trade with your civilization."

“Of course, this is definitely based on equality.”

Buluo expressed his demands.

"We Chinese civilization naturally welcome you to come and engage in interstellar trade."

"But you only have two spaceships. Do you carry enough cargo?"

The scientific expedition team also responded quickly.

"We don't have enough goods this time, but we can agree on a time and place for us to trade."

"Of course, if you don't mind, I can lead my interstellar trade fleet to trade directly with your Chinese civilization."

In fact, Bro was not well prepared this time, because there were not many cargoes on the spacecraft. They were all ordinary cargoes looted from some Level 1 civilizations and were not worth much.

"Then let's agree on a time and place. We, the Chinese civilization, will organize an interstellar trade fleet to conduct interstellar trade with you!"

"no problem"
