Star Empire

".Bleeding? This statement is really strange." Weisruifan found the report corresponding to this part of the content. After reading it several times, facing those complex and obscure information operation models, she had to admit that in addition to "bleeding" "Other than ", there seems to be no more appropriate way to describe the current state of the giants.

"It seems to be caused by congenital reasons, or in other words, this defect has already existed in their bodies from the time this or "these" giants were formed." Weisruifan pointed to those scanned by the void survey radar. Information Structure said, "There are no clear traces of tampering, and it should not be caused by acquired causes. These giants did have some connections with us a long time ago, but these connections have weakened to a very vague level. More additions are needed. Information can lead to more accurate conclusions.”

"And... it may be really difficult for giants and lambda to coexist." Weisrifan pointed to a series of targets in the giant's body: "The giant's blood is constantly being lost, and the blood lost by the giant needs to be replenished. If so, we can only rely on the blood of other beings, or equivalents that function similarly to blood, and the way to deliver the blood of other species to the giant is to perform blood sacrifices, frequent blood sacrifices."

".I think we should get ready." After a pause, Weisrifan suddenly said, "Get ready to solve the giant's problem."

"Just like solving the problems that Kryz encountered at that time, prepare in advance?" Vidoville confirmed, "However, doing so requires a higher level of confidentiality - after all, this information does not pass through normal channels. Obtained through diplomatic channels.”

"So just prepare first. If the subsequent situation is conducive to our idea, then our preparation can be used. If things do not develop in the direction we expected, then this part of the preparation can also be used for other purposes. I hope these preparations will work in the end, otherwise it will not be that simple to find an existence in the void that is different from us and can still speak."

Many years later, when the younger generations evaluate the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Star Empire and the Lambda Civilization Federation, they will describe it like this:

In the vast desert, envoys sent by two almost isolated oases discovered each other's existence. The beings living in two oases that were completely isolated from each other were still suspicious of each other at first, but soon the pursuit and recognition of civilization and culture broke the barriers between the two sides.

Most of the vast void is shrouded in darkness and coldness. Even if there are fireworks of civilization in the middle, most of the sparks will be extinguished before they have time to burn vigorously. When we find beings pursuing a common goal in the endless darkness, how can this joy and recognition that comes from the heart of intelligent life and the origin of order be obscured by superficial suspicion?

However, as usual, when events that left a huge impact gradually turned into "history", when the intelligent beings of later generations talked about these events, they were more willing to face this series of events with a joking and ridiculing attitude. . They are more willing to understand the rough framework of those events, rather than delving deeper into all the details and complexity of the whole thing - just like this "negotiation" between civilizations, its complexity and sharpness It goes far beyond what is described in all widely read versions.

When the two parties determined that they could carry out complex communication and understand the complex information sent by the other party, the negotiations between the two parties began to expand and also entered a period of tug-of-war and stalemate.

As the initial exchanges gradually deepened, the problems exposed between the two sides gradually increased. During the rounds of talks, the two sides also began to continuously test the strength of the opponent and speculate on the upper limit of the opponent's strength.

During this stage, the empire deployed a large number of void survey radars on the border to shine on the composite world where the Lambda civilization is located, and Kryze personally read the content obtained by the focus of the story. The information obtained from these void survey radars shows that the composite world where the λ Civilization Union is located is very high in terms of strength and scalability, and its lower limit has far exceeded the branches of the world like an empire.

At the same time, with his help, the empire also determined some more accurate information about the λ civilization - although the λ civilization has not really begun to cross the world, after experiencing countless special structures in the composite world, λ's Information manipulation technology is quite mature. Once this civilization comes into contact with the void, mastering void navigation technology can be said to be easy.

At the same time, the current hard power of the λ civilization cannot be underestimated. According to the detection results of the void survey radar, the current stage of the λ civilization is similar to the stage of the empire preparing for war with giant malicious meta-memes. They now hold quite powerful weapons in their hands. Strength, war chess deductions under various circumstances show that if the fleet led by Vidoville goes to war with the λ civilization, then this fleet and the general flagship will only be able to "dominate" in the battle at best, but will not be able to form a crushing force. Pressure situation.

If the war lasts long enough, the Empire will face a horrific tug-of-war.

Although Lambda has no way to peer into the empire's internal secrets through the outermost world barrier of their world without touching the void, judging from the results intercepted by the void survey radar, their attempts in this regard are no better than Lesser Empire:

The "diplomats" who went to meet the Lambda civilization in the early days were infected by unknown memes, and their defense system did not take effect. There have been several large-scale information explosions in the world complex, which were powerful enough to affect this world. The world neighborhood of a huge and complex composite world. This is most likely Lambda's experiment and attempt to replicate the special properties of information fluctuations and extraordinary information created by the imperial fleet.

When the two sides' understanding of each other was still in its infancy and was not deep enough or broad enough, misunderstandings caused by various information gaps almost led to conflicts several times, and the two sides even prepared to start a formal war. However, after gradually determining each other's strength, once a war breaks out, the losses of both parties will be far greater than those of negotiation and cooperation. This view was immediately recognized by both parties.

After returning to the negotiating table, the two sides began to try to find specific ways to deepen exchanges. It was considered an acceptable way to have a deeper understanding of the civilizations and cultures of both parties based on the current situation. After confirming this concept, the two parties began some "extra" exchanges and gradually became familiar with each other in a way that could be regarded as "gossip" to outsiders.

In such a conversation, the empire temporarily avoided some parts that might arouse the objection of Lambda Civilization, and gradually transferred these parts to "next time." And λ seems to have maintained a similar tacit understanding. This tacit understanding has been maintained until both parties believe that the conditions for negotiating deeper and more acute content have been met.

"Is the situation okay?" The concern in Weisrifan's words during the call made Vidoville feel warm and peaceful in his heart.

"Fortunately, the scale of the new fault zone is not too huge, but this fault zone moves too fast and is too close to the Black Gate Order Field, so it is better for me to go there in person. After all, the Black Gate Order Field and the Black Gate Order Field are currently It is the only one. If it is destroyed, the loss to the empire will be too heavy." On the way to victory, Vidoville finally felt relieved after confirming that the Black Gate Order Field and the Black Gate were still in good condition. "By the way, Lil, where are you? Where are the negotiations now?"

"It is still in progress, but it has almost reached the stage of finalizing the details. Some major terms were determined during the expedition, but these terms are above the bottom line finalized by the Emperor's Council, so Wood, you don't have to worry too much about this. .”

"Providing void navigation data, publishing void route maps of some border sections of the empire and identifying them as bridging windows for bilateral control, communicating on bilateral armaments and clarifying some contents, providing civilized treatment for permanent partners in intelligence sharing, and permanent most favorable civilized treatment for resource trade," Continuous resource compensation, formal writing of the incident into the national historical archives, and a sincere apology for starting the war."

Vidoville read through the finalized clauses one by one. "Although rationality tells me that I would have made these requests if I were the one, but now as the party accepting the requests, it still feels a little bit... It’s strange, after all, in the past two trillion years or so, there were not many civilizations or order entities that could make so many demands at once, and the empire had to face and deal with them head-on.”

"Hey, these contents have been filtered before they can enter the discussion - let me put it this way, when Lambda Civilization was still formulating the internal draft, there were opinions that they wanted to destroy my sun."

"They dare!"

"Don't get excited Wood - they had no intention of actually doing this in the first place. As soon as such a point of view was raised, it was immediately extinguished by the Lambda civilization itself. We know that these situations have used some extra-standard means. After all, the Void Sky Survey Radar This kind of thing is the same as the world line storage library. Not all civilizations have such equipment."

".Um."

"What's wrong? Wood? If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"It's just, how should I put it, it feels a little weird."

"Ah? Why is it weird again?" Wei Ruifan became interested, and she casually removed a large number of unimportant working documents in front of her case and in her mind, freeing up a spacious area in all senses. "Space" chatted with Vidoville, "What problems did you encounter again?"

"That is to say." Vidoville hesitated for a while this time, "This time the talks are progressing very quickly. If such negotiations occur before the empire faces the giant malicious meta-meme, then the talks will There is a high possibility that it will be completely disrupted, or that a large number of civilizations will be dissatisfied with the empire and demand a change in the agreement. The huge impact of the arrival of the giant malicious meta-meme has severely damaged the Observer Council and the former Star Empire Five The civilized groups under the rule of Tianzao are busy recovering themselves after suffering heavy losses, so that the empire can concentrate on holding such a large-scale meeting with Lambda."

"We once said we would protect, but now, we are still taking advantage of the opportunities brought by destruction and destruction." After a long time, Vidoville finished the rest of his words.

"Do you have a guilty conscience?" Vesrifan asked, "Do you think you, or under your leadership, the empire can do better, can be much better than it is now, and can fight against the giant malicious meta-meme There was a much better situation?"

"Maybe. No."

"Then leave it to Void and Order. As for us," Weisrifan also sighed, "there is always a problem of choosing the lesser of two evils. This situation is expected and thought of on the one hand, but actually We may really not be able to take everything into account when we do it. As a drop in the ocean, it’s good that we can have a clear conscience.”

"Um"

In the year 1997 717 735 039 of the Star Empire Expedition, a treaty recognized by both parties was finally drawn up.

Witnessed by representatives of both parties, the treaty was signed by both parties. At the same time, the establishment of diplomatic relations and the memorandum of understanding between the Star Empire and the Lambda Civilization Federation were finally recognized by both parties.
