Star Empire

The gate of unprecedented scale has been opened, and the long bridge spanning both sides of the void has been successfully erected.

However, no one immediately cheered.

Whether it's humans or gods, all the creatures stationed on the defense line are nervously staring at the huge and huge door.

According to the cautious plan jointly made by the civilizations on both sides of the strait before the bridge was built, the first contact between the Federation and the civilization on the other side would not be on which side of the void, but inside the long bridge. The representatives representing the first meeting between the two sides were all the void wills of both sides. They agreed to meet in the middle of the Void Bridge. Neither party would bring any accompanying persons or accompanying vehicles to avoid misunderstanding or friction.

The bridge has indeed been successfully erected, but it is not time to relax yet.

What is the true face of the “civilization on the other side”? Before this meeting, no one dared to answer this question. Just separated by a thin body, there will be endless differences in the thoughts and concepts of different intelligent beings, let alone the civilization on the other side that has never been seen before, separated by a large membrane?

Could it be that the previous cooperative attitude of the civilization on the other side was just an act? Is there a conspiracy on the part of the civilization on the other side of the strait? Could the so-called "rebels forcibly building a bridge" be a play directed and performed by the civilization on the other side of the strait? Does the civilization on the other side have the same understanding of void and order as the civilization on the other side? How will the civilization on the other side of the Taiwan Strait view the inevitable differences and differences between the two sides?

The answers to all questions will be revealed at the end of the first meeting.

Whether it was the powerful gods guarding the gate, or the mortals waiting at the rear defense line, ready to pour out artillery fire at any time, they were all sweating in their hearts.

What will come out of the door? Is it the army of civilization on the other side, a false body that has been replaced internally, or is it the two consuls of the Federation, just like the two who entered, are they fake?

How long that first meeting will last has not been determined.

Because in previous exchanges, neither side was able to determine what would happen in the cross-strait talks, let alone what specific content would be finalized.

In previous plans, civilizations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have stated that it is the will of the void that determines all the details of this meeting, and the "children" of the will of the void are powerless and have no right to interfere. However, the children of the Void Will have the right and ability to protect themselves and the thousands of civilizations behind them.

At this moment, all the civilizations that make up the Star Ring Federation and all the powerful people from the Star Ring Federation are pointing the most powerful destructive means they can unleash at the entrance and exit of the bridge, and the urgently organized federal rapid reaction force is also in a state of preparation for war. .

No one expects to rely on these to directly blow up the entire bridge, but just in case - if an accident occurs, these attacks can at least temporarily paralyze the "invasion" from the other side and gain access to the rapid reaction force. Seize the entrance and exit of the Long Bridge and the time to stay in the Long Bridge.

Vidoville was also waiting, waiting for the meeting to end.

He has already shaped the information diversion channel, and the end of the star array and the divine will can be fired at any time. Beside him, the nine-layered vast red sky is up and down, and the huge red stars are ready to go. Behind him and behind him, countless void fortresses and huge fleets have accumulated enough energy. With just one order, endless artillery fire can be blasted to the long bridge in a short time. near the entrance.

Suddenly, Victorville noticed that there seemed to be two faint glows, one green and one white, on the other side of the Void Bridge. Then, the Long Bridge seemed to become lively.

He has already set the last switch in his consciousness. As long as the situation is slightly wrong, the flagship will fire. But as time passed, the first and second lines of defense surrounding the bridge remained silent, without any sign that a war was about to break out. Immediately afterwards, Vidoville received a series of complex codes, which showed one thing - the two consuls of the Federation who returned from the long bridge were still the same, both physically and internally.

"Then two Lord God Kings, please tell everyone now, what did you talk about in the Void Bridge? What was the conclusion you reached?" After the password expired and was logged out, a message from Chang The real-time view of the bridge entrance and exit has also begun to be received by various defense lines. Under the ambivalence of temporary peace of mind and worries about the future, humans and gods were quietly listening to the answers of the two Void Wills. They were also eager to know that this should be the highest-level meeting in the Void. , what did everyone talk about?

"Oh, this, we talked a lot." After being asked this question, Huan Xi and Gouchen, who seemed to have calmed down, became excited again: "First of all, we all have to celebrate a fact ——That means that our Great Void Clan can be said to be prosperous from today on! There are three void creatures on the other side! A total of three! The population of our family has more than doubled! Oh, by the way, we even keep each other. Contact information, we can visit each other anytime and anywhere in the future.”

The two "people" talked incessantly, completely unaware that the faces of the "children" surrounding them first became surprised, then turned into disbelief, and finally dropped with countless black lines.

"Those two God-Kings, with all due respect - um, have you talked or brought it up about whether there is any conflict in ideas, the possibility of cross-strait cooperation, the understanding of order and plans for future development by both parties?"

After everyone listened to the gushing words of the two Void Wills in black faces, someone or God finally couldn't help but throw out this question that everyone had been holding back for a long time.

"Hiss—" After noticing this, Gou Chen and Huan Xi looked at their surroundings several times. Finally, they noticed that they could not hide from the child. After receiving their scorching gazes, the two men replied in very small voices: "Maybe, maybe, probably, we seem to have forgotten to talk about this."

"Bang!" Vidoville slapped her on the forehead, "Elendis, have your father-god-mother-gods always been like this?"

"Don't look at me, I don't know, I don't know anything, I don't know them, yes, who are they?" This time, Elendis didn't even show his face.

". Let's disperse. Let's all disperse. In any case, judging from this, this war will definitely not be fought. Everyone should disperse. Just leave a standing army to intercept the flow of false information. The rest of you Go about your own business, I'm sorry to disturb everyone." It didn't take long for the order to lower the defense alert level to spread throughout the federation's states.

And Vidoville noticed that the nine-layered sky supported by the Σ No. 1 monitoring station fell down limply in almost an instant.

"So, how did you talk about it later?"

On the blazing sun of the void, the two flagships of the empire were "lying" on a relatively flat surface of the sun at this moment. Vidoville was also lying in the sea of ​​white fire with his hands on his hands, and a little next to him, Weiss Ruifan was listening with interest to him about the meeting that was of great significance but very difficult to be recorded in history.

"On the second day, the civilizations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait sent formal delegations of diplomats to discuss more specific matters. But, how should I put it, after the first "talk" of the Void Will The conclusion is still valid - the concepts and attitudes of cross-strait civilization are highly consistent in many aspects. This basically means that the two sides should not fight. Forget it, don’t ask, it’s really not that important. I want to remember." When mentioning the scene at that time, Victorville still had a dark look on his face.

"Then what were the results of the subsequent negotiations? You should have the right to know this, right?" Weisruifan didn't want to let him go. After all, it's such a rare topic. If you miss it, it won't be easy to encounter it again. easy.

"Well, there are three civilizations on the other side that can cross the void. The Federation has only been in contact with the "Xiling Empire" before, and knows very little about the other "Star Territory Gods" and "Huron Gods", so there are not many topics to talk about at the beginning. . After all, the civilizations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have only known each other for a short time, and their understanding of each other is very limited. If we formulate a civilizational framework prematurely now, I am afraid that it will cause considerable and unnecessary restrictions on possible cooperation between the two sides in the future. .”

Vidoville lay there and thought for a while, "However, there is one thing that is worth noting."

"What?"

"Another force of the "Xiling Empire" calls itself the "Abyss Empire." They hope to develop on this shore, and then use the materials from this shore to create a new "Xiling Empire" before returning to the other shore. .”

"...You just said it outright?" Weisrifan frowned, "It sounds like this is a big deal."

"Yes, this matter is indeed not a small matter. I heard that this matter has been discussed for a long time. After all, no one will easily accept such a force appearing in the void that is considered the heart of the Federation."

"What about the final result?"

"The Federation representatives put forward two points. If the "Abyss Empire" can accept the conditions proposed by Star Ring, then the Federation will allow this matter. The first point is to require that the scope of activities of the "Abyss Empire" be restricted and restricted. They can Conduct experiments on this shore, but any of their actions, including experiments, must not interfere with the normal production and life of the Halo Federation and the civilizations under the jurisdiction of the Halo Federation."

"Also, their experiments cannot cause damage to the void on this shore, and if they are preparing to conduct experiments that may touch "federal security," they need to report to the federation, and they need to have a federal envoy to supervise the whole process during the experiment— —The Abyssal Empire may be repatriated if Federation envoys deem their actions to have exceeded safe boundaries."

"Then these sound like one point, right?" Weisrifan blinked, "What about the second point?"

"The conditions are equal - that is, the civilization on the other side also allows the federation to send teams to the other side for research." Vidoville breathed a sigh of relief: "After all, the existing test results have proven that substances from the other side can be immune to the ones on this side. The invasion caused by ocean pollution is not resistance, but direct immunity. Who would easily choose to reject such a tempting result?"

"Yeah" Weisrifan nodded thoughtfully. "So, is there anything else interesting?"

"Interesting thing, there is also the fact that the civilizations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have mentioned that it is necessary to reduce the difficulty of cross-Strait exchanges as soon as possible. To achieve this, the most important and priority issue is to be solved. That is how to make the application of Void Bridge less sensitive - those two voices suggested setting up a "Void Long Bridge Office"."

Vidoville recalled, "This office needs to set up a processing station at the entrance and exit on both sides of the bridge and in the middle of the bridge to process applications to the other side. At these stations, both sides will send people who are trusted by the Will of the Void and many civilizations. Individuals go to garrison.”

"It sounds like a very normal suggestion. Why did you bring this matter up alone?"

"The suggestion itself is indeed a normal suggestion, but the "voices from the civilizations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait" are more interesting." Victorville said with a half-smile, "The names of the individuals from the civilizations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait who put forward this voice are "Mi Yue", The pronunciation and meaning are exactly the same. Even though the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have never been in contact with each other before, there is a god-level individual on both sides of the Taiwan Strait who actually has the same name - isn't this interesting and surprising enough?"

"Oh, if that's the case, then it does—huh?!"

"Your Majesty Vidoville/Visrivan, the Black Gate Fortress has detected an emergency, and the position of the stress zone/discontinuity zone has suddenly changed significantly. At present, the range of activity of the stress zone has been stabilized again, but its activity The world has risen to the upper end of the middle-level area!"

"What is the situation with the fortress itself and the two Long Night-class fleets?"

"There is no damage, and the stress zone has not affected the stable environment inside the Black Gate! But Your Majesty, based on the previous floating speed calculation, the stress zone will rise to the exit of the chaotic sea in about a year!"

"What?!"
