Chapter 1341 Interstellar Stage (Part 48)

Passing through the garden of Mengyu Palace and bypassing the government hall on the west side, you can reach the teleportation station leading to the big teleportation gate. Luoji walked into the teleportation station with a staff. She was ready to leave.

This visit was just to release a signal. Someone would explain the rest to her. Luoji stepped into the gate of the teleportation station, but waited for half a minute at the door before walking towards the teleportation gate.

As expected, the moment she touched the teleportation gate, a shout came from behind: "Your Highness Luoji! Your Highness Luoji! Wait! The Queen wants to see you!"

Luoji retracted her foot, turned her head and said in a very surprised look: "The Queen wants to see me?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you have to postpone the next arrangement. The Queen has something important to ask you!" The female diplomat Atu looked apologetic.

Loki frowned slightly, but still turned around and walked out of the teleport station, saying, "No matter what, it's my honor to meet the queen."

Attu breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled. She thought that Loki should be the Asgardian with the best temper. If it were any other Aesir, they would have snorted and walked away.

But on the way to the throne room, Attu still tried to make up for it: "I'm really sorry, Your Highness Loki, the queen's message is very urgent, and we also received the notice at the last minute. Maybe there is something important..."

Loki nodded and didn't say anything, but she knew that she was singing a double act with Thanos. She had actually been waiting for the queen to summon her.

Loki entered the throne room and saw the queen standing in front of the throne. She put one hand on her chest and knelt slightly to salute. This is a relatively solemn etiquette in Asgard, but it is still not the most solemn.

The Queen of the Shi'ar Empire and the God King of Asgard are of the same level. Loki is a foreign guest, so the etiquette can be reduced. Although she does not need to kneel on one knee, the extent of her kneeling is too small, which can be said to be a little rude.

The Queen noticed her action and sighed slightly in her heart. She knew that this kind of private visit and the sudden call for an audience would definitely give people a handle. She was at a disadvantage in this negotiation from the beginning.

Now it depends on whether Thanos's inference is correct. The Queen thought that in fact, she was unwilling to admit that an outsider was more sober than the staff kept in the royal family.

But all monarchies have the same problem. The nobles have always only looked at their own interests and always tended to be conservative in national affairs. The advice the Queen could get from them was to reject everything and maintain the status quo.

But it is obvious that the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire is more far-sighted than these nobles. She knows that the struggle of the interstellar society is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Continuing to maintain the status quo means inevitable decline.

After adjusting her mentality, the queen spoke first: "Long time no see, Your Highness Loki, how is His Majesty Odin?"

"The father of the gods is fine, I greet you on his behalf, Your Majesty."

After a simple greeting, no one got any benefit. Although Loki was a little cold, he was also flawless and did not offend anyone. The queen could not find any fault.

"I heard from Boeller that you know something about our dimensional cutting and transportation technology, and think we are on the wrong path?" asked the queen.

"This technology is a hot topic in the Shi'ar Empire recently, but it is not a new technology. When I was young, I heard that the Shi'ar Empire was researching this technology. As for the right or wrong way, at least in my opinion, it is probably difficult to solve the defects of the large portal..."

The queen hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to speak directly. She began to pace in front of the throne and said in a low voice: "You are not here without a purpose, and I am not summoning you for a small talk..."

"We all understand the predicament of the Shi'ar Empire and Asgard. I think that perhaps in some aspects, we have complementary things. Since you have come here, I will take this behavior as a signal to seek cooperation. Naturally, I have to talk to you about the current situation of both sides..."

Loji's eyes paused for a moment, and I didn't intend to beat around the bush. Instead, I lowered my eyes and said: "Asgard is indeed facing some problems now, but compared with the predicament of the Shi'ar Empire, what we are facing is just Some minor troubles..."

The queen weighed the pros and cons in her mind, and finally decided to use the answer given to her by Thanos. She said: "Asgard wants to give up conquering the universe and no longer seize profits with extreme violence, but such a change will also make the subjects of the nine kingdoms panic. "

"They are not sure whether Asgard can use diplomatic means to obtain the same abundant resources as before, and whether they can still develop under such conditions... You need to stabilize the people's hearts. "

"And similarly, when you enter the interstellar society, your label will no longer be Asgard, but the nine kingdoms. The powerful side of the gods will be weakened, and people will pay more attention to the overall strength of civilization. "

"But among the nine kingdoms, the gap between the upper and lower limits is too large. Civilizations like humans do not have the ability to colonize the stars. You want to make up for this part of the shortcomings, but you are suffering from the technology tree developed on the basis of divine power, which cannot be used by those races with weak bodies. "

"Your spaceship has no life support system, almost no safety defense measures, no disaster warning, and everything is for attacking power, because the Protoss doesn't need these. You just need to drive the ship, fire the gun, and then board the ship, but other races can't do that."

"You can't find a new technological route based on your weak body. You don't have time or need to do so, because you know that you are the only one in the universe, and there are a lot of technologies suitable for these weak races."

"But you also know. This can be regarded as one of your few weaknesses. Once discovered by military countries such as the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire, they will definitely launch a technological blockade against this matter. That's why you came here as a private person, wanting to send us a signal and reach a cooperation..."

The queen looked at Loki, and Loki's expression seemed very stiff, as if someone had exposed her thoughts.

The queen felt a little proud, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. It seems that Thanos is indeed worthy of his reputation, and he has predicted everything and made every plan.

But soon, Loki's expression returned to normal, and she sighed and said, "Your Majesty's wisdom is really admired by us. Let's be frank, the facts are indeed so."

"Unfortunately, the predicament of the Shi'ar Empire may not be easy to solve. Your system determines that you cannot have the mobilization speed and execution of a military country. Your technology is not inclined to war, but you are the richest among the three empires."

"The Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire have always used force and oppression to plunder resources from the Shi'ar Empire. Their usual means are to spread panic, provoke ethnic and regional conflicts, and make society It will cause economic turmoil and force industries to flee. This situation has been common for hundreds of years. "

"In this case, let's be frank. The Shi'ar Empire and Asgard should indeed cooperate. You have wealth, status and trade routes, and we have military force, weapons and deterrence. "

"More importantly, you have always been a commercial empire and have never provoked a war. We don't have to worry about you invading other countries after resolving your internal crisis. Our population is too small and it is almost impossible for us to colonize the stars. You don't have to worry about us developing into the fourth largest empire after re-entering the economic society and squeezing out your position. "

"In this case, we The cooperation between the two is a match made in heaven. It is time for interstellar society to find a new way of balance. "

The queen stopped and turned to look at Luo Ji. In the eyes of the young prince, she saw unspeakable ambition. The queen gently closed her eyes, sighed, and asked: "What do you want?"

"Your dimension cutting and transportation technology as a deposit, and also as a guarantee for me to report to the God King."

The queen frowned. Luo Ji's answer was beyond her expectations. She first showed a little surprise, but hesitated for a moment, and said seriously:

"Since we have been honest with each other, I I don't want to play tricks on this issue and destroy the basis of our cooperation. I must explain to you that I can give you this technology, but I'm afraid it's far from what you expect. "

"I know that cutting dimensions instead of space sounds very bluffing even in the interstellar science community. After all, dimensions can be said to be an independent world. If you can have an independent dimension, then you can keep all civilizations that don't have dimensional jump technology out.

"But because of this, the difficulty of this technology is beyond anyone's imagination. The Shi'ar Empire has been researching for hundreds of years with the strength of the whole country, and the final result is just an empty shell."

"What do you mean? "

The queen showed a somewhat embarrassed look, as if she felt a little ashamed to confess this to outsiders, but in the end, she still said: "Cutting dimensions is the ultimate goal, and we are still far away from this goal..."

"So far, we can only cut a small piece of dimension, but cannot move the entire dimension. The cutting range is not much larger than those broken dimensions commonly seen at the edge of the universe. Moreover, the lack of dimensional structure will cause the cut dimensional fragments to collapse soon because they cannot support themselves..."

Loji blinked her eyes, she understood what the queen meant. If, as the queen said, this technology can only do this, it is indeed just an empty shell.

Perhaps many people would think that cutting off a small part is good enough, but in fact, there are many such dimensional fragments at the edge of the dark universe, all left behind when the dimension collapsed. Such fragments have no effect at all, because they are incomplete and very fragile.

No civilization will move its belongings into this dimension, because it may collapse at any time due to structural instability. At that time, the property will definitely not be rescued, and it will be good if people can come out alive.

"What about transportation technology? Can the things in the cut dimensional fragments be transported synchronously? "Loki asked again.

"That's possible, but it can only last for a short time, the queen replied: "And if you don't take things out before the dimension collapses, everything will disappear with the collapse of the fragments."

"So, have you tried to fill the cut dimension back?" Loki asked another question.

The queen nodded and said, "We have tried everything with this technology, but the conditions for filling it back are very harsh. It can only be placed in its original position, and cannot be used to fill other holes. There must be no external interference when putting it down, and the cosmic parameters must be completely consistent, otherwise there is a possibility of damage..."

Loki nodded and said, "Okay, then we want this technology."

The queen raised her eyebrows in surprise, and Loki shook her head and explained, "We don't need it to really do anything. The point is that we have achieved significant results through diplomacy, and this result only needs a good name."

The queen suddenly realized that, indeed, if it is to stabilize the people's hearts, it should indeed start with a technology that sounds very powerful.

As for those technologies that can really come in handy, isn't there still follow-up cooperation?

The queen nodded, and then began to discuss the specific matters of cooperation with Loki.

Soon, Loki walked out of the throne room. At the moment when she brushed past Thanos who was entering the throne room, the two exchanged glances, calm and undercurrents.

The curtain of the interstellar stage was drawn open, and the strange dance of two evil wolves, one bright and one dark, had just sounded the first drumbeat.

Two wolves protect each other
