A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 175 Extraterrestrial Development is Too Lazy

At the Star Alliance's virtual meeting, Nanali's work has become quite busy lately.

Because the Babel swarm has housed a large number of satellite civilizations, it has increased the difficulty of managing them.

These challenges come not only from the satellite civilization of another universe that has just been subdued, but also from the satellite civilization in the Vorsotis system that had already submitted to the swarm.

During the meeting, a representative of a satellite civilization asked Nunnally, "Your Excellency Speaker Nunnally, regarding the addition of such a large number of satellite civilizations to the Star Alliance, we would like to know how the Babel Swarm arranged this?"

"Is it like our satellite civilizations, one civilization, one vote?"

Nanali said, "What are you trying to say? Just say it directly. I don't like beating around the bush; it's a waste of time."

The representative of the small civilization who stepped forward, with a hint of fear, cautiously explained to Nanali: "It's like this, a satellite civilization in the universe, without a doubt, is a huge interstellar market, a benefit that everyone can see, but there is also an unseen drawback."

"That is an extreme imbalance of political power."

"Currently, the alliance's normal decision-making process is based on a vote by each civilization, with the minority obeying the majority, which also aligns with the decision-making principles of our Vorsotis Galaxy civilization."

"But now that an entire universe of satellite civilizations has joined the Star Alliance, it means that the civilization of the Vorsotis Galaxy will lose its voting power within the alliance. These decisions were not made by the Vorsotis Galaxy civilization and may not necessarily meet the current economic needs of the Vorsotis Galaxy..."

Nanali listened to the explanation from the representative of the small civilization without saying a word, her heart completely unmoved.

In fact, what this representative of the small civilization was saying, no matter how much he talked about it, was simply because he was afraid that the satellite civilizations in another universe would unite and influence the voting decisions of the entire Star River Alliance, and further affect the economic scale of the original satellite civilizations of the Star River Alliance.

Nanali could easily understand what the satellite civilizations behind this small civilization were thinking with a little thought—because the interests of their own civilization might be harmed by the addition of a large number of satellite civilizations, and the mother civilization did not have enough power to solve or avoid this situation, so they thought of asking the swarm to formulate some restrictive rules and regulations, and using the power of the swarm, the sovereign civilization, to solve this problem.

Nanali asked, "Have you ever heard of natural selection?"

"Well……"

The representatives of the various civilizations were momentarily at a loss for how to respond, because Nanali's topic had veered off course too far. Just moments ago they were discussing the issues of satellite civilizations in another universe, and now the conversation had suddenly shifted to the survival of the fittest among species.

Nunnally continued, "Do you believe that fairness, justice, and peace are things that naturally exist in the universe?"

This time, the representatives of civilization, having realized what was happening, still did not answer, but collectively chose to remain silent.

Nanali addressed the representatives of the satellite civilizations, saying, "I'm telling you, these things don't exist naturally. They are things that intelligent beings created out of thin air because of their own yearning for a better life. The law of the jungle, chaos, and destruction are the norm. These are things that have existed naturally since the beginning of all universes."

"The swarm of bees guarantees your right to move forward as civilizations, and your right to live."

"The swarm won't care about the rest, and it's too lazy to care. Don't even think about those unattainable things."

"You were unwilling to accept challenges, unwilling to develop rapidly, and ultimately you were crushed by other civilizations in ways other than force. Who can you blame? Do you resent the universe for not giving your civilizations a high starting point?"

"Handle your own affairs, focus on your own development, and move forward with big strides. Don't always expect the bee colony to help you; the bee colony is not your babysitter."

These high-ranking representatives of civilization were being reprimanded by Nanali, the swarm's mastermind, like grandchildren, and none of them dared to refute her.

Having climbed to such a high and powerful position, the representatives of the satellite civilization naturally had their own set of eloquent arguments to refute Nanali, but they dared not bring them up, because the consequences of doing so were unbearable for them.

In fact, everyone knows the principles of the universe—physics is everything.

……

Lu Shang was unaware of the many complicated matters on the Star River Alliance's side, and even if he did, he wouldn't take them too seriously, and would only handle them in a more extreme way than Nanali.

Having ended a cosmic war, Lu Shang prioritized contacting Rabbi, wanting to know the operational status of the civilization breeding farm, since the core of the Babel beehive technology was psionic energy.

"Rabi, how's the situation at the microcosm-level breeding farm?" Lu Shang asked.

Rabbi replied, "The effect is very good. The level of the psionic creatures here has been raised to level 81 and is still running stably. Optimistically speaking, reaching level 100 psionic power should not cause any major problems."

Lu Shang frowned slightly, then said, "Don't speak so confidently, or I'll start to have doubts."

Last time, this rabbi also spoke very confidently, but in the end, containment still went out of control. I really don't know where he gets the confidence to speak so recklessly.

Seeing that Lu Shang still had doubts, Rabbi suggested to him, "Lu Shang, if you don't trust me, you can come and test it out."

Lu Shang hadn't expected the rabbi to make such a request, and retorted, "You mean, you want me to deliberately cause a containment failure?"

His attitude towards the civilized breeding farm has always been to guard against the loss of control over the containment of the psionic creatures. But this time, Rabi actually took the initiative to ask Lu Shang to try to make the containment of the psionic creatures in the civilized breeding area go out of control. This... this guy is really getting cocky, isn't he?

Perhaps guessing Lu Shang's thoughts, Rabbi explained, "It's alright, we've conducted many such tests here, and there haven't been any problems at all."

Oh? You've conducted many of these tests? Lu Shang raised an eyebrow.

Lu Shang thought for a moment and said, "Alright, since you've made that guarantee, I have no reason to refuse this little test."

Lu Shang paused, then added, "However, let me make this clear: if the test results show that containment is out of control and the Civilization Farm hasn't reached the situation you described, Rabbi, you'd better be ready to be whipped."

Upon hearing the word "whipping," the rabbi was immediately reminded of some unpleasant memories, and its physical body couldn't help but tremble in response.

"Ah... can I back out?" the rabbi asked in despair.

"What do you think?" Lu Shang asked kindly.

The rabbi said earnestly, "I think it's okay."

"I don't think so," Lu Shang replied with a smile.
