40,000 Years of Cultivation

Su Changfa sat cross-legged and whispered: "You know, I'm from Takushoku University, the real human empire. The main research field of our Takushoku University is to expand the territory of the empire and achieve colonization and conquest in various large worlds. Today, I I have to pass on some of these little experiences to you."

"Tell me, Li Yao, what do you think is the most important and precious resource in the universe?"

Li Yao pondered for a moment: "Psionic energy? Mineral veins? Heaven and earth treasures? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"

"Yes."

Su Changfa smiled slightly, "Although psychic powers, mineral veins, and heavenly materials are important, if they lack the other two resources, they will not be able to maximize their value."

"I tell you, in the vast universe, there are two most important resources-time and information."

"Time means the possibility of development, and information means the direction of development."

"For the simplest example, the True Human Empire and the Star Federation are now in a state of hostility, and an imperial fleet that is far superior to the Federation is coming to you!"

"If this imperial expedition fleet can appear in front of you instantly, then the Federation is almost irresistible, and it will undoubtedly be defeated!"

"It's a pity that the almost infinite sea of ​​stars is the best barrier in itself. It will take at least a hundred years for this expeditionary fleet to appear in front of you, and the message of the'expeditionary force is coming' is unfortunately in advance. You know it."

"Then in this hundred years, you can carry out targeted development and evolution. When it really comes, the outcome will become unknown!"

"This is the importance of the precious resource of'time'."

"And the reason why it took a hundred years to arrive is because it doesn't know the ‘information’ of your specific coordinates!"

"Time and information complement each other and influence each other, determining how far a civilization can go and how strong it can become!"

"Therefore, in the contact, communication and even confrontation between different civilizations, how to hide and disguise one's own information and collect the other party's information to the greatest extent becomes the key to victory!"

"In our Imperial Takushoku University, there is a school motto that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years-don't underestimate the indigenous people on any planet, no matter how backward and weak they seem, you must not be in front of the indigenous people without absolute security Leak out any information about us!"

"Indigenous peoples are very dangerous. Once they have obtained our information, coupled with the hundreds of years won by the Xinghai block, who knows how far they can develop and how much trouble they can cause to the empire!"

"Look, I am the best example myself."

Su Changfa pointed to himself and smiled bitterly, “It’s okay to tell you the truth. When exploring the vast world with indigenous civilizations, we have a whole set of operating procedures, accurate to every detail, and we can thoroughly integrate ourselves into the indigenous world and collect. When the key information is reached, the level of local civilization can be accurately assessed, and the next step will be decided after it is determined to be'harmless'."

"If we arrive directly at the Flying Star Realm, you won't even want to discover our existence before we launch a thunderous blow!"

"Hmph, just because we landed on the relics of Pangu civilization far away from the flying star realm, and was dazzled by the prehistoric battlefield there, we will be deceived by your disguise, causing irreversible consequences."

"It can be seen that the cunning of the aboriginals has nothing to do with the level of civilization. Even if the aboriginal civilization is backward, it is possible to emerge as a despicable, treacherous, cunning, and cruel existence like you. It is an explorer from a more advanced civilization! "

Li Yao coughed a few times: "Thank you!"

Su Changfa said with a stern face: "During the conquest and expansion of the last millennium, our real human empire has gradually concluded a standardized process for opening up a new world. There are four main steps: infiltration, observation, interference, and transmission. !"

"The first step is to infiltrate, which is to disguise as the identity of the local indigenous people and blend seamlessly into the local civilization. This is the most important step. We must never let the other party know our existence."

"Because there is no absolute benevolent civilization in the star sea with limited resources, we must assume that any civilization is malicious at first in order to ensure our own safety to the greatest extent."

"The presumption of innocence does not apply to this kind of place."

"First assume that a civilization is malicious. Take this as a starting point. Observe the civilization’s population, resources, military strength, and high-end force in the dark, and finally determine whether it has the strength to impose its'malicious' on us, and when we How much does it cost to impose'malicious' on it!"

"This is the second step, observation."

"Generally speaking, the worlds that are worth investing a lot of time and resources to'observe' have certain strength. In their'home court', they are not so easy to conquer."

"Then come to the third step, interference."

"The so-called'interference' is to mobilize resources within the world through the explorer's own ability to enter a state of meaningless internal friction."

"For example, we can use magic weapons that have surpassed the civilization for several eras to instigate the internal fighting of the strong within the civilization."

"For example, we can incite the ambitious warlord of this civilization to engage in civil war with the government that governs the civilization."

"For example, we can release the plague and the crystal brain virus, and even summon a'little catastrophe' from the empire's native land, which will plunge the civilization into a continuous natural disaster."

"In short, before the arrival of the empire army, do your best to consume the strength of the civilization, disrupt or even kill their evolutionary path!"

"The'immortal cultivator's chaos' that broke out in the flying star realm is a kind of'interference.' It has greatly delayed the development of the flying star realm through the establishment of the longevity hall, the ambition of Yan Beibei and Xiao Xuance, etc. The speed has even entered the fourth step of "transmission"!"

"That was originally a classic textbook-level case of empire colonization. I didn't expect that at the last moment, you would be killed by a diagonal stabbing, abruptly interrupted, and cooked into a pot of raw rice!"

"Oh, yes, the next step is "Transport", which is to establish a gate to the starry sky, transmit the destination coordinates, and find a way to make the local army jump over instantly!"

"It seems the easiest step, but how to build the Star Gate, where is it built, etc., there are still a lot of particularities, bit by bit, it is all knowledge!"

"Infiltration, observation, interference, and transmission are seemingly daunting tasks, but because those who are sent out to serve as Xinghai explorers are often strong in the Nascent Soul series, no matter which Great Thousand World they appear in, this level is It’s not difficult for super masters to break into the opponent’s core circle. With a little bit of sub-scheme, a big world will be in hand!"

The more Li Yao listened, the more frightened, he said every word: "Don't compare our federation with your empire. What you want is conquest, but what we want is integration! We are going out to find allies, if the other party is not willing to join the federation. The big family, we will never force it!"

"Fusion and conquest are just two translations of the same meaning."

Su Changfa smiled and said leisurely, "The reason why you chose'fusion' is simply because there is too little time left for you, only a short period of one hundred years, and your long-range strike and force deployment capabilities are too weak. It’s not enough to span a million light-years to conquer a new world. Even if you reluctantly conquer it, you can’t digest it!"

"If you have a super fleet like an empire, it will take hundreds of years to slowly digest and absorb, when a plump and plump new world is presented to you, and the natives above are arrogant and arrogant, and refuse to'integrate' with you. , Would you not use a little bit of force to'accelerate its civilization process'?"

Li Yao kept silent, too lazy to discuss these hypothetical questions with Su Changfa, an unrepentant cultivator.

"Even if you are really so'innocent and innocent', at least the two steps of'infiltration' and'observation' are indispensable. Come and learn the essence of Imperial Takushoku University!"

Year-old Changfa sighed, "Although I can't wait to cut you a thousand times and smash your bones and ash, but I really don't want to see you fall into the hands of the natives in the depths of the dark nebula, and they will put you in every brain cell All the information is squeezed out!"

"why?"

Li Yao touched his nose and asked.

"Didn't you just say it?"

Su Changfa squinted at him, "The destruction of your Star Federation has nothing to do with me, but the terrible thing is that what you have now is not only your own information, but also a lot of real human empire information!"

"If there really exists a very powerful malicious civilization in the depths of the Dark Nebula, after it swallows the Starlight Federation, it will definitely parse out a lot of information about the real human empire. Do you think it will let the empire go by then? "

"Even, after it squeezed all the information out of your mind, maybe the first thing to devour is the Empire, not the Federation."

"After all, the Empire is a hundred times more'rich' than the Federation, and it is more attractive to predators in the universe!"

Li Yao "hehe" laughed: "So, this time we explored, might it be a drag on the empire?"

"Yes it is."

Su Chang glared at him coldly.

"That's so sorry, sorry!"

Li Yao said without apology.

"No need to apologize."

Su Changfa sighed and said, "Follow me and study hard, the empire has spent thousands of years of accumulation of the essence of colonization. For the sake of the empire, I hope that your exploration will be smooth sailing and success!"
