Homo sapiens

Although the Shepherding Star Civilization is in a dilemma.

But the Shepherd Civilization Headquarters did not do nothing. For example, it was asked to strengthen its intelligence collection work on human civilization.

Regardless of whether to attack human civilization or not, the Shepherd Civilization must collect all-round information on human civilization as soon as possible.

Aliens also understand the principle of knowing one's enemy and knowing yourself.

Famu was appointed as the person in charge of intelligence collection. As for the previous plan to go to the Senying Cantilever to investigate in person, it was shelved.

After all, judging from the information Famu has collected so far, the technological level of human civilization is already very close to that of their Shepherd civilization.

If Famu's spaceship alone is discovered by the enemy, the risk is too great.

At this time, the intelligence collection team of Mu Xing Civilization held a meeting through holographic projection.

One of the silver-gray spheres emitted an electromagnetic wave: "Famu, your caution is correct."

Hearing the approval of his colleagues, Famu felt a lot more at ease. It was now worried that someone inside would be arrogant and look down on the civilization in the cantilever area, putting the Shepherd civilization into a dangerous situation.

The colleague pulled up a star map, which showed the Andromeda and Orion cantilevers of the Milky Way.

"The red area is the current control area of ​​this civilization. I discovered a situation."

Famu asked curiously: "Lao, what did you find?"

"This civilization did not expand to the core area of ​​the giant galaxy (the Milky Way), but expanded outwards. Can you see it?"

Famu carefully analyzed the data on the star map and found that the situation was indeed as the other party said.

Whether it is in the Anderi cantilever or the Orion cantilever, the distance between human civilization and the galactic center is about 7000 to 8000 light years.

According to the monitoring data collected by the Shepherd Civilization, the first time human civilization appeared within the monitoring range of their sirens was 23,000 Earth years ago.

In this way, the Shepherd civilization quickly discovered the approximate location of the planetary system where human civilization originated.

"This location..." Famu immediately noticed something fishy when he saw the enclosed place where human civilization originated.

"Can you see it?" Law calculated the expansion speed of human civilization based on the current speed of human civilization's spaceships.

Famu's core trembled slightly: "Their expansion speed, during a part of the time, reached the speed of light?!"

This conclusion made the dozen or so Shepherds present involuntarily shocked.

Law continued very seriously: "I cannot guarantee the expansion of this civilization in other areas, but they must have arrived at the speed of light from the mainland into the Baisai Cantilever."

"..."

At this moment, these Shepherds felt a chill.

It is simply unreasonable for a civilization that has only developed for more than 20,000 Earth years to develop its technological level so rapidly!

You must know that their pastoral civilization advanced to the first-level civilization about 55.83 million earth years ago.

After entering the first-level civilization, their development speed becomes slower and slower.

Including the special skills of space distortion engine technology and dark energy crystal production technology, they were all developed in an accidental experiment about 6.89 million years after advancing to the first level civilization.

After that, the science and technology of the Shepherd Star Civilization entered a long period of stagnation.

This is the first time that human civilization has soared to such a powerful level in about 20,000 Earth years. This is the first time the Shepherds have encountered it.

This shocked Famu, Lao and others, and also gave them some ideas.

Law expressed his thoughts somewhat excitedly: "If we can develop a method for the rapid advancement of civilization's science and technology, maybe we can break through the current development bottleneck."

Another Shepherd sent out an extremely cautious electromagnetic wave: "Lao, your idea is indeed worth considering, but we need to consider the risks involved."

Other Shepherds feel the same way.

Only then did they discover that human civilization is not just an ant that can be crushed easily, but a very dangerous beast.

And judging from the fact that human civilization has always kept a distance from the galactic center, these Shepherds have guessed that the other party has a high probability of knowing that there are other civilizations in the galactic center.

"You should really be wary of this civilization." Naturally, Law will not take it lightly. It is greedy for the way that human civilization can quickly develop science and technology, which does not mean that it will be blinded by greed.

They continue to discuss how to steal the development methods of human civilization.

However, after a large amount of data analysis, Law and others had to admit that human civilization is very difficult.

After all, if you want to steal, you definitely can't use a large army to suppress the situation.

Otherwise, if the other party becomes vigilant and wary, their probability of obtaining that special method will plummet.

In the view of Lao, Famu and others, this method that can maintain the development level of civilization and science and technology must be an extremely important secret within human civilization.

Once human civilization reacts, there will definitely be no way for the Shepherd civilization to obtain this method.

So now I can only steal it secretly.

But after seeing the densely packed star gravity shields layer after layer on the border of human territory.

Even if they gather the most advanced technology among the Shepherd Star civilization, they can't figure out how to sneak into human territory quietly.

As for finding a breakthrough from the human civilization of Cepheus that is currently fighting, Lao, Famu and others have also thought about it.

But after a series of simulations, it was discovered that the success rate there was even lower.

The main reason for this situation is that the human civilization in Cepheus is on the front line of war and is more sensitive and vigilant to the disturbances around it.

However, Famu, Lao and others had some preconceptions and believed that human civilization would most likely not keep such important secrets in the warlike Cepheus cantilever, but would instead store them in the base camp.

Anyway, after the Pastoral civilization figured out various situations, it was deduced that the core secrets of human civilization must be inside the base camp of the Orion cantilever.

Now they are racking their brains on how to sneak into this problem secretly.

Although they also have neutron materials, they can also create neutron cages, store nanorobots in the neutron cages, and then launch them into the territory of human civilization.

However, during the neutron cage's near-light flight, its magnetic field trajectory is too obvious.

For human civilization with gravitational field technology and faster-than-light communication technology, it is simply an open flame.

There is no other way to enter the interior of human civilization in a safe and concealed manner.

This put the theft plan of Lao, Famu and others into trouble.

Because they were too wary of human civilization, neither the Shepherd Civilization nor the Mist Civilization showed any explicit actions against human civilization.

Time passed slowly like this.
