Chapter 313: The Spaceship of Level 5 Civilization (Additional Update 210)
The strange life that invaded the WE-224 galaxy this time also belongs to the category of predators. Its Silver Alliance code name is "Stone Beast", because when it is in a hibernating state during interstellar navigation, its appearance is similar to a large stone.
This strange life has evolved nuclear fission, nuclear fusion and ion propulsion capabilities, and can travel interstellar at a maximum speed of no more than 1,000 kilometers per second.
The stone beast has a mechanism similar to photosynthesis, which can obtain nutrients from simple organic matter or natural minerals through stellar energy to survive.
Generally speaking, this kind of strange life does not change its territory frequently. They have no malice towards ordinary carbon-based life, and they will not actively pursue life planets like pterosaurs.
Only when the environment of a star system deteriorates and is no longer suitable for survival, or because there are too many of them and the galaxy cannot bear them, or because of some other accidental factors, the stone beast will migrate between star systems to find a more suitable home for survival.
This invasion of the WE-224 galaxy is purely because the galaxy is close, not because there are intelligent life in this galaxy.
The galaxy is about 443 light years away from the sun, and its main star is a mild yellow dwarf, similar to the sun.
People have also collected some information about the Ziyun civilization, which also participated in this mission, through public channels.
This civilization was promoted to a third-level civilization 2,000 years ago. It has mediocre potential for technological development and a mediocre scale of civilization. Nothing special about it is no different from the thousands of third-level civilizations in the Silver Alliance.
Judging from the fact that this civilization has not made any major progress in more than 2,000 years, their days should not be easy, otherwise they would not have fallen to the point of having to join forces with humans, a new civilization that is still in the protection period, to carry out the mission.
After confirming that they would join forces with the Ziyun civilization to carry out the mission, the two civilizations immediately contacted each other and agreed to hold a head-of-state meeting one day later to discuss coordination issues.
The next day, Lu Xinghe, the ruling committee member and the military commander who was scheduled to lead the team to carry out this mission, and others came to the conference room.
Through the Silver Alliance network, the leaders of the Ziyun civilization and the senior military officials appeared on the big screen.
Han Yang was a little surprised when he saw the Purple Cloud people for the first time.
"So beautiful?"
The Purple Cloud people look very similar to humans, with two arms, two legs, a torso, and a head, and their skin is extremely white, their facial features are extremely delicate, and their bodies are extremely slender and upright.
It's just that their ears are a little long and pointed, their eyes are a little too big, and there are two things on the top of their heads that look like pigtails, which are obviously body tissues, like horns, and you can see that they are not human.
They look a bit like real-life dolls.
Each of them has a flower-like pattern on the left side of their face, and each person's pattern is different, but they are all very delicate and beautiful.
It doesn't look like it's natural, but it looks like everyone has tattooed it or painted it on.
Their clothes are also very delicate, mainly pink and light blue, and the color matching and clothing cutting can be seen to have a strong artistic design atmosphere. Their meeting room is mainly warm-toned, with all kinds of exquisite decorations inside, which is a bit like the bedroom of an underage girl.
The human ruling committee members who saw this scene were a little speechless.
If they hadn't known that the Ziyun people had only one gender, regardless of male or female, they would have almost thought that the Ziyun civilization was a matriarchal civilization.
Liu Yuan was very enthusiastic and greeted them first: "Hello, leaders of the Ziyun civilization. I extend my greetings to you on behalf of human civilization and look forward to smooth cooperation in the future."
Compared with the enthusiasm of the human side, the Ziyun side seemed to be a little hesitant to speak.
Han Yang could clearly see that when the Ziyun people saw the human side, they looked at each other with some hesitation and weirdness.
After a delay of a few seconds, the Ziyun person sitting in the middle stood up and said unnaturally: "Hello, human civilization. We, the Ziyun civilization, sincerely look forward to cooperating with you."
The subsequent exchanges and negotiations were carried out step by step. There were no differences between the two sides, and the overall situation was harmonious and pleasant.
There was only one thing that made the ruling committee and the military leaders a little strange.
These Ziyun people, who were as delicate as dolls, were too strange. During the negotiation, they always seemed to be distracted, looking at humans with slightly unnatural eyes, and several times they hesitated to speak, as if they wanted to say something, but suppressed it.
This made Han Yang begin to have some doubts.
"Through some public information about the Ziyun civilization, I didn't see that the internal communication of the Ziyun people and the communication between the Ziyun people and the outside world was like this... Their diplomats and leaders are all quite capable, why are they like this with us humans?
Could it be that these Ziyun people are femme fatales with evil intentions? This mission is the first time for us humans to carry out a Silver Alliance mission, and we must not make any mistakes..."
Han Yang was willing to use his own computing power to carry out this mission directly - he was not afraid of being discovered that his spaceships were all unmanned spaceships, because after so many years of secret research and development, Han Yang has been able to create extremely realistic bionic dummies, even the flesh and blood are real, I am afraid that even humans themselves can't tell which are real and which are fake.
At that time, just put dozens or hundreds of dummies in each spaceship.
In this way, no matter what accidents happen during the mission, it doesn't matter. At most, we will lose some spacecraft and dummies.
But after comprehensive consideration, he decided to send the real person. The first is to avoid accidents to the greatest extent, and the second is to truly sharpen and increase the experience of civilization.
But if these Ziyun people are really planning some conspiracy...
After much thought, Han Yang still controlled the dummy Liu Yuan and called the human fleet commander Lu Xinghe over: "You must be cautious in this mission. You must be careful and careful. No accidents can happen."
Lu Xinghe immediately stood up and pledged: "Please rest assured, Head of State."
Even if Liu Yuan didn't specifically warn him, he would still be careful. When attending the meeting, the looks in the eyes of the Ziyun people made him feel a little solemn.
Based on the plan discussed by the two civilizations, the human side contacted the business department of the Luo Tu Civilization, the fifth-level civilization closest to the solar system, and proposed a request to lease a space carrier.
Human civilization plans to dispatch a total of 10,000 Stardust-class warships - each with 800 tons, a total of 8 million tons, and a total of 22 million tons of other materials including personnel to that galaxy.
Except that Lu Xinghe's flagship was a Nebula-class battleship, and there were ten other Nebula-class battleships just in case, Han Yang did not plan to send any larger warships.
The reason is simple, it's not necessary. The rating of this strange life is only 2.6, which can be crushed by a Stardust-class battleship. The difficulty is just to make sure not to lose any of them.
If this mission hadn't been more troublesome and trivial, the mission would have been snatched away by other civilizations, and the Silver Alliance wouldn't have been able to offer such a high price.
Bringing more detectors is more useful than bringing battleships.
According to the price of 0.2 silver coins per 10,000 tons per light-year, transporting these materials and personnel to the designated location will cost a total of about 266,000 silver coins for one way, and 532,000 for a round trip.
The total reward is 700,000 silver coins. After deducting the shipping fee, 168,000 silver coins can be credited to the account.
But the communication with Luotu Civilization once again dealt a heavy blow to the ruling committee members.
"Leasing a space carrier? No problem."
The business receptionist of Luotu Civilization was very cheerful: "Providing thoughtful, meticulous and perfect services to every customer is the purpose of our civilization. But...if I remember correctly, this is your first time taking on a mission, right?" Do you have enough silver coins to pay for the shipping?"
The human businessman was a little confused: "I remember that civilizations in the protection period have preferential treatment. They can rent it first and pay the freight after the task is completed."
"Yes, it is true. However, the business details of every civilization are different. The rules of our civilization are that if you choose to pay later, you need to pay an additional 10% service fee. Do you think this is acceptable?"
The ruling members looked at each other.
10% service fee! The total shipping cost is 585,200 silver coins, and what falls into my hands is only 114,800 silver coins!
More than fifty thousand less!
The business staff of Luotu Civilization still sounded enthusiastic: "Alternatively, you can choose the loan service provided by our civilization, with an annual interest rate of only 7%. Do you think you need it? Our Luotu Civilization has always been very supportive of the development of low-level civilizations...
Alternatively, you can also sign a comprehensive assistance agreement with our civilization, and we will support all the technologies of your civilization from level three to level five for free, not to mention just renting a space carrier. "
Han Yang gritted his teeth and manipulated Liu Yuan to directly bypass the human business personnel and said: "Thank you for your kindness. However, loans and comprehensive assistance are not needed. How about a 10% service fee? Yes, we accept it."
The commercial specialist of Luotu Civilization, whose face was green and black, as if covered with a layer of scales, but whose figure was very small and had an inexplicable "dark and cute" style, sighed, as if he was very regretful.
After signing a series of agreements and waiting for several years - human civilization also took advantage of this period of time to complete the preparations for the fleet. A spaceship that was not very large, at least much smaller than mankind's own space carrier, appeared. At the edge of the solar system, and then adopted the normal navigation mode, arrived near the base of Pluto in the solar system.
Looking at this ordinary-looking space carrier that was not worth mentioning at all, countless human scientists and soldiers were filled with enthusiasm.
No matter how ordinary, no matter how inconspicuous, it is still a spaceship of a fifth-level civilization! A super spaceship that can travel at a hundred times the speed of light!
We humans only earn hundreds of thousands of silver coins by performing one mission. People can earn more than half a million silver coins just by flying a random spaceship. It's incomparable.
I don’t know when we humans will be able to have such a spacecraft...
Full of complex thoughts, the soldiers of the human fleet drove the human warship and parked at the berth of the space carrier. (End of chapter)
