Fortunately, both sides were still rational and didn't completely break down in the first round of probing. However, their continued presence outside Earth kept the clouds of war hanging over us, threatening to materialize at any moment.

Faced with their unreasonable demands, Fang Yuan also felt a headache. It wasn't that he was unwilling to part with the technology, but he couldn't hand it over so easily. Otherwise, they would definitely become insatiably greedy later on. If they really couldn't reach an agreement, he wouldn't hesitate to fight, letting them see our strength so that we could have an easier time in the future.

Unfortunately, Fang Yuan's idea couldn't be realized for the time being. In fact, many people were already tempted by the other side's request for peace. If there was a way to avoid war, why not use it? Did they have to fight to solve the problem?

That wasn't the case at all. It was just that the other side's harsh conditions made it impossible for these people to make a decision for the time being. There could be no compromise on the issue of resources. As for the technology they requested, everything except the most fundamental aspects of humanity could be handed over, as the impact on both sides wouldn't be significant.

This was on the premise that the other side couldn't enter Earth and choose freely. If they entered Earth and discovered humanity's key technologies, Fang Yuan felt that the situation wouldn't be so simple. The disaster of possessing a treasure was not uncommon. There were now several technologies on Earth that were quite tempting to advanced civilizations.

Fang Yuan wasn't stupid. From the situation of the other side's fleet, he could tell at a glance that their level of technology was somewhat more advanced than Earth's, but not by a qualitative difference. The key difference was in combat power.

Perhaps this was also a matter of the evolutionary direction they had chosen. Judging by appearances, their basic science wasn't much more advanced than Earth's. In fact, in many respects, they were not as good as humans at the current stage. In this respect, it could be said that this was humanity's greatest advantage. However, they had far surpassed humans at the current stage in the development of combat power.

Even if it was only a small fraction of their power, it was not something that humans could easily deal with now. It wasn't difficult to resist the Mobius fleet outside Earth, but humans had no way to threaten them. Whether to fight or leave was entirely up to them.

Therefore, human civilization was now in a passive state and had no way to take the initiative. Even if they didn't attack us and only adopted a defensive posture, it wasn't something that humans could cope with at the current stage. It seemed that after this war, Earth had to focus on strengthening its space combat capabilities.

Otherwise, this situation would continue forever. Facing the enemy's invasion, there would be no way to make an effective response. This was humanity's current weakness. In fact, this was already very good. Consider how many years it had been since humans officially stepped out of Earth and were able to develop to this extent. It could be said that it was an excellent performance.

However, compared to the current situation, it was far from enough. If he wanted to accomplish this, Fang Yuan was still an indispensable existence. Large-scale wars might not happen, but small-scale skirmishes would still occur.

For example, the reconnaissance spacecraft they released had now begun to work around Earth. Could we tolerate this? We can't deal with your main battleships, but you dare to be so unscrupulous with your little reconnaissance spacecraft? Did they really think that we had no combat capability in space? Were they looking down on us too much?

At this time, if Fang Yuan could endure it, the others couldn't. We had to strike at their arrogant arrogance. They were not members of human civilization, so starting a war required this and that excuse. As a foreign civilization, humans had no need to be polite. If they wanted to fight, we would accompany them.

Of course, no matter what time it was, there would always be such a group of people who would be willing to pay any price as long as it could bring peace. Unfortunately, for everyone present, even if they had such thoughts, they couldn't say it now.

An electromagnetic gun was enough to deal with these reconnaissance spacecraft. It was also time to show our skills. It sounded so easy, but we had to know that the electromagnetic gun was already a relatively important weapon on our side. It was just used to deal with the other side's reconnaissance spacecraft, which looked quite comical.

This was also a helpless situation. Apart from the electromagnetic gun, other weapons had no way to deal with this kind of reconnaissance spacecraft that was small in size, fast in speed, and extremely flexible. However, Fang Yuan also had other ideas, such as obtaining a reconnaissance spacecraft and learning from their technology!

This was planned before. After this war, such a thing would definitely happen. As the main person in charge of this matter, Fang Yuan had a certain expectation for this. After all, their development direction was almost completely different from that of humans, and the role of learning was still very large.

If he started from scratch, it would be difficult for Fang Yuan to reach the sky in one step. After all, there was no such good thing in this world. If there was, please tell Fang Yuan, and he would join in the fun. Over the years, Fang Yuan had summed up this truth, that is, if you want to get something, you must pay the same price. This could also be regarded as an alternative equivalent exchange!

Huh? If he didn't know that he hadn't gone to the wrong set, he would have thought that he was in the world of alchemists. Equivalent exchange was an unchanging principle? That was enough. But in real life, this was also applicable. In fact, most of the fictional stories were really existing in reality.

They were not completely fabricated out of thin air. All creations were based on facts. Fang Yuan knew this, just like the books in the system library that looked like fantasy novels were actually just not suitable for humans. If you changed the object, it might play an unexpected role.

Fang Yuan didn't doubt this at all. After all, he had gotten more inspiration from the system library than from the system mall. It could be said that even if he had reached his current level, the role of the system library was still huge, even more important than before.

Many of the technologies inside that couldn't be realized before, or that had been turned into technologies that humans could use, could now be tried. After all, leveling up once was not just a simple matter of talking. The change in strength was incomparably huge. No one could understand this change.

LV9 was a qualitative change, and LV10 was the rhythm of completely becoming a god. At this stage, the overall level of humans was there, and it was an extremely difficult thing to reach the level of Lv9. If there was no system, Fang Yuan would not have been able to reach his current level so easily.

If he had to say it, now there was only technology that Fang Yuan didn't want to complete, and there was no technology that Fang Yuan couldn't complete. Even a time machine could be tried, but it was only a matter of how long it would take to complete. But he wouldn't do this. If there was really nothing to do, he might take this as a challenge to see if he could complete it, but now, it was really not worthwhile.

With so much time, he could complete countless achievements that were beneficial to human civilization, and not just be entangled in the so-called time machine. Let the past be the past. It's better to keep it in your memory and not try to change anything. If you do it again, you might not do as well as you are now!

But now he wasn't thinking about future plans, but about solving the Mobius fleet outside Earth as soon as possible. With them messing around here, Earth had no way to develop. He had to send them away as soon as possible, whether it was a fight or a compromise.

As long as it could get the other side to leave as soon as possible, it would be a good thing for humans. It was best to be able to buy more time. In fact, for the Mobius civilization, Earth's location was relatively remote, but the resources contained in the entire star system were very rich. He didn't know if it was because it had been in a remote location for a long time and no one had developed it for a long time, or for other reasons.

But how important was it? It hadn't reached the point where it had to be obtained. At least, if humans could organize a strong resistance, they wouldn't attack Earth's rights at this time. If that was really the case, their mortal enemy would definitely take advantage of the situation.

Compared to the Araucanian civilization, Earth was simply a small matter and wouldn't have much impact on them. They couldn't do things that would lose them big for small gains. Of course, if Doris could occupy Earth and bring rich resources and a life planet to the Mobius civilization, that would definitely be a great achievement, and he might really become the supreme commander of the Mobius civilization.

The current situation was not as Doris had predicted, and was even worse than his worst prediction. But if they could obtain the other side's unmanned warship technology, it would open up a new war mode for the Mobius civilization.

Before, they not only had to invest resources, but also had to pile up human lives. As long as they mastered the other side's unmanned warship, the Mobius civilization could defeat the other side by investing enough resources in the future, and they could develop with peace of mind. They had to know that their twelve life planets, along with the surrounding resource stars, had never been systematically developed.

If they had enough energy, their strength could be further improved. Whether it was the front battlefield or the development of the rear, they could proceed more orderly. In the long run, it would be a virtuous circle. In this way, they would have the prototype of mechanical life!

Hmm!? No wonder no one was willing to provoke those mechanical lives. It was simply too difficult to deal with. But thinking that they would be able to do this in the future, and without changing their life form, it was simply too cool! He really didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain. No matter how the other side decided next, this technology must be obtained.

Even with significant losses, acquiring this technology would be a great achievement. Upon returning, he would at least avoid being questioned by the Supreme Military Command. With some maneuvering, he might even be able to enter the Supreme Military Command.

Doris, a survivor of many wars, understood this very well. Don't think he had no support behind him. To be in command of an entire fleet at his age, he had to have some power backing him.

Fang Yuan was unaware of Doris's plans. If he knew that the unmanned warship technology could satisfy him, he would have agreed without hesitation. To humans, it wasn't a crucial technology. In reality, he didn't realize that only a handful of civilizations across the entire universe possessed such technology.

Usually, only mechanical life civilizations possessed this technology. Even many advanced civilizations didn't include it in their development plans. However, this only affected strategy and didn't have a huge impact on the overall progress of civilization.

Regardless, Doris looked at the star chart before him. He knew that getting some benefits from Earth this time would be enough. At the very least, he needed to recover his travel expenses, and preferably have some surplus. Otherwise, it would be a huge loss. The Mobius civilization had never engaged in unprofitable transactions!

If the other party refused to pay, it would be simple: just fight until they paid. What if the other party was too strong? Then it would be the same situation as with the Arau civilization. At worst, they would have one more opponent. However, now wasn't the time. If humanity truly had the strength of the Arau civilization, they wouldn't have provoked them. Weren't they just taking advantage of the fact that they seemed easy to bully?

This already exceeded their expectations. It was all the fault of the Voyager Fleet's intelligence. If not for them, not only would there have been more than just their fleet, but they also wouldn't have lacked any logistical support. How infuriating!

If he had sufficient supplies, he wouldn't be so passive. The opponent was like a turtle shell covered in thorns, with strong defenses and the ability to inflict occasional damage. However, the damage was only so-so and didn't have a significant impact.

This was the awkward part. But it was too late to say anything now. Logistical supply lines weren't so easy to establish. At the time, they thought human civilization could be easily conquered. If only they had scouted beforehand. The immediate benefits were too tempting, causing them to lose their rationality.

Without the option of knowing beforehand, he could only bite the bullet and try to find a way to break the stalemate. Now, Doris was the one who was anxious. If he didn't handle this well, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Losing the pursuit of the Supreme Commander position, he didn't know what his backers would do to him. At the very least, his previous privileges would no longer exist. No matter how talented he was, under the Mobius civilization's system, he would be replaced by others.

After all, "genius" was the most worthless word in the world. Anyone could call themselves a genius. Only geniuses who grew up were valuable. Those who fell by the wayside could only be considered comets, beautiful but short-lived.

Doris didn't want to become such an existence. He wanted to become a star shining over the entire Mobius civilization, bathing everyone in his glory. Therefore, his worst-case scenario was to obtain the unmanned warship technology, preferably with some freebies.

This way, even if those old guys wanted to make trouble for him, they wouldn't have any excuse. Yes, he didn't conquer this civilization and bring a new life-sustaining planet to Mobius, but it wasn't entirely his fault. Part of the reason lay with those old guys. If not for their intelligence errors, this awkward situation wouldn't have occurred.

Coincidentally, before coming, he hoped that the old guys could re-examine the situation on Earth, but no one adopted his suggestion. They just urged him to go as soon as possible. This was the most important reason why he wasn't anxious.

If not for this, he should have been anxious already.
