Chapter 78 A Star Map, Return
The initiative is now in the hands of the other side, and the captain does not have enough power to respond to these.
"I agree with what you said."
"But since you already know our Civilization Federation, then you know that this is not something I can decide. I will take your words back to the Federation, and it will probably take a very long time."
The captain's tone was a little official.
The other party expressed his understanding very calmly.
"These are all reasonable. Time is nothing for civilizations at our level. Whether it is hundreds of years or thousands of years, we can wait."
The other party's words made the captain feel that the other party might agree to whatever he said at this time.
But he was still cautious and could not let the other party's words affect his judgment.
The alien life continued: "For the sake of our friendship, I would like to make a request here."
"I am not only here with the olive branch of our civilization's goodwill, but I am also a diplomat of our civilization."
"I hope to enter your civilization and establish an embassy for peaceful exchanges to promote the connection between our civilizations,"
"At the same time, we also hope that you can send envoys to our civilization so that our civilizations can exchange what they have."
"We can share and compete with each other in intelligence and technology, which will also promote the progress of our two civilizations."
"To show our sincerity, please look..."
It swept its hand around, and the surrounding celestial bodies began to shrink. Hundreds of billions of stars formed a huge Milky Way.
It moved towards the edge of the Milky Way, and a star field turned blue, which contained nearly 300 galaxies.
"This is the star field controlled by our olive branch civilization!"
Then a smaller red area appeared next to it, with a size difference of nearly 10 times.
"This is the star field controlled by your Civilization Federation."
Seeing this, the captain was shocked. If this star map is true, then the other party is at least 0.1 level higher than them, and it is likely to be 0.2 level.
This is the gap after reaching level 2, just like the current Civilization Federation, which has developed very fast, but it is still at level 2 and has not officially reached level 2.1 in energy and technology.
Even if there is a technological explosion, the distance of 0.1 level is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of years. If it is a normal development, 2000~3000 years is also a normal span.
But this is not over yet.
A green area appeared next to the two areas. This area is slightly larger than the Civilization Federation, but far less than the Olive Branch Civilization.
"The civilization here is called the Silk Civilization. They live in this huge nebula. You should call this place the Orion Nebula."
"Most of the Orion Nebula are relatively young stars. The Silk Civilization was originally a wandering civilization. After arriving at the nebula area, they took control of it and gradually developed to level 2.2 with the extremely numerous and easily exploited resources."
Then the three civilizations enlarged the area again. There were no other advanced civilizations 5,000 light years away. There were only some scattered points, all of which were still in the embryonic stage of level 1 civilization.
"These are the civilizations we discovered. You can see that most of them are near the star field of our civilization. Although we will not cooperate with other civilizations, we will not be an invader. This is meaningless to us."
"They are too weak to pose any threat to us. On the contrary, some of their ideas sometimes inspire the technology of our civilization."
Imagination Resource Theory.
Civilizations may not be in a life-and-death situation. There is also the possibility that advanced civilizations will release goodwill to lower civilizations.
This goodwill is not due to kindness, but out of interest. Rather than destroying it, it is better to keep it for observation.
Just like humans on Earth facing animals, animals cannot shake the entire human civilization, but may kill humans, but humans did not choose to directly exterminate these animals, but protected them.
Because these animals have research value and ornamental value, they can become a link in the ecological chain in nature.
Their value determines their life.
When a huge purple area appeared more than 5,000 light years away, this area only revealed the tip of the iceberg, but this tip was several times larger than the star field of the Olive Branch civilization.
"This is the farthest civilization we know and the most powerful civilization."
"In our information, the level of this civilization is at least 2.6."
"It is a bit hard to imagine that such a powerful civilization is still outside the Milky Way, not in the central area."
"So we guess that there may be a civilization of level 2.7 or even 2.8 in the center of the Milky Way. It should not exceed level 2.9, because we all understand what level 2.9 means."
This is conceivable.
If there is a level 2.9, or they are level 2.9, then they have already begun to conquer the entire galaxy, and then develop the entire Milky Way to upgrade themselves to level 3.
"This is our sincerity, a star map we have explored."
This is absolutely important.
The captain believes that this star map must have some flaws, but it only needs to be 20% true, then it will be of great value.
"This is indeed a star map of great value, and we are very fortunate that we have no ill will towards each other."
"This is a peaceful encounter, which is not common in the universe."
"I will submit everything you said to our senior officials without missing a word, and I believe they will make the most accurate judgment."
It doesn't take much longer.
This should be done later.
The captain is now eager to go back and convey the information he knows. He may be promoted because of this, but more importantly, the first contact between the two civilizations will leave its name on the monument of history.
"Thank you for the kindness of your civilization. Otherwise, we would not have met this time."
The other party was also very polite. Although their star field may be as huge as shown in the display, they still remain humble enough.
But both sides understand that when they confirm that the gap in strength between them is extremely huge, both sides may show their fangs.
The captain went back.
When he returned to the battleship, he and the two officers he brought with him breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Let's go back."
"We may help create a legend this time, but we don't know whether it is good or bad."
"Only time and history can tell."
"After I go back, I may choose to stay in cryogenic sleep when I am old, and then wake up and get the answer to this question."
