The invitation was rejected?

[10] Upon receiving this electromagnetic wave information, the internal logical thinking process experienced a visible lag.

It hadn't made any contingency plans for this.

Why wouldn't a capable Level 5 silicon-based civilization want to join the silicon-based alliance?

But the other party had already expressed their willingness to join the silicon-based alliance!

Level I artificial intelligence cannot understand the reason behind this bizarre operation.

Therefore, in order for the program to execute normally, it skipped this step before the logic completely stalled.

[Welcome to the Silicon-Based Alliance, Enroget Civilization.]

...

"..."

Lu Yongchang stared blankly at the holographic projection in front of him.

This familiar behavior gave rise to a bad thought in his mind.

He clearly remembered that the short-distance space jump back then used the same method!

If the forced short-distance space jumps of the past were to get human civilization to help repair the mass-energy equivalence device, then this forced entry into the silicon-based alliance...

If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid some kind of trouble is about to unfold again!

[Given that the homeworld fortress has not yet established contact with the Empire, the assessment results cannot be approved by the Empire at this time.]

Lu Yongchang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

fine.

Thankfully, the internet in this lousy fortress is down.

Otherwise... who knows how many more advanced civilizations might be drawn to observe human civilization?!

But please rest assured, your assessment will not be invalidated.

You remain a member of the Silicon Alliance.

As a member of the Silicon Alliance, you must abide by the relevant laws and regulations established by the Empire.

Lü Yongchang: "..."

He had a feeling that the hole dug by this lousy artificial intelligence was about to be exposed.

[According to the Imperial Intelligent Life Protection Act, the Imperial Silicon-Based Civilization Mutual Assistance Act, and other relevant laws, you have the responsibility and obligation to provide corresponding assistance to the Ten Descendants.]

Well, they've arrived after all.

Fortunately, it only required helping a weak civilization that had just entered the Stone Age, otherwise...

In addition, considering that the homeworld fortress has been out of contact with the Empire for a long time, please travel to the areas where the Empire has lost contact to search for traces of the Empire within your capabilities.

"..."

The real pitfall in relationships lies here!

The aid to the [Ten Descendants] is barely acceptable; it's nothing more than finding some supplies. In order to befriend a higher civilization, this kind of investment is essential.

But should we help it find the Tenth Empire?

Stop joking!

Is this something that human civilization is capable of doing?

What does this mean to human civilization? Are they just looking for easy targets?

Based on the principle of equal exchange, I can pay a certain reward for this.

You have a really good eye for people!

"As a responsible and friendly civilization, the Enroget civilization is willing to accept this task."

"However, considering our own limited strength, we hope that you will pay a portion of the payment in advance."

Despite the strange looks from those around him, Lü Yongchang responded to the message from [Ten] with righteous indignation.

A level 5 civilization cannot travel to the Andromeda Galaxy to search for the Tenth Empire, so you should give us something to help us improve our strength.

That makes sense.

As a rigid Level I artificial intelligence, [Ten] clearly thinks so too.

but……

Currently, there are no items of value left inside the homeworld fortress.

The specific compensation will be paid by the Empire.

Lü Yongchang: "??!"

When did artificial intelligence start making empty promises?!

He pondered for a moment, then bargained again: "I don't need any specific items, some theoretical knowledge would be fine."

"Such a powerful silicon-based civilization is the goal pursued by the Enrogett civilization. We also want to find the Empire, but..."

"If we rely solely on our own development, it may take tens of thousands of years for us to acquire sufficient strength."

"so……"

The expressions of the academicians around him grew increasingly strange.

Fang Xu hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Yongchang, you... you're not really planning to go and search for the [Tenth Empire], are you?"

"Are you kidding me?" Lu Yongchang glanced at Fang Xu, who was full of worry, with the look of someone looking at an idiot. "Once you get the technology, isn't that all that matters?"

"Besides, who knows where that [Tenth Empire] went?"

"Whether you search for a year or ten thousand years, it's still the same as searching."

"The Milky Way is too small; the goal of human civilization is to develop into a larger galaxy."

"As long as we continue to develop our presence in the Andromeda Galaxy, who can say we're not looking?"

Fang Xu fell silent, a look of relief mixed with helplessness on his face.

What's reassuring is that Lü Yongchang is still the same Lü Yongchang, unchanged.

Unfortunately, he never expected that Lü Yongchang would even try to fool artificial intelligence!

During the conversation, [Ten] gave a response.

After comprehensive analysis, I believe your request is reasonable.

What kind of technology do you want?

Looking at the shimmering white text in the deep blue holographic projection, Lü Yongchang's usually steady heart suddenly began to pound violently.

Holy crap!

We're rich! We're rich!!

Just how much technology is in the database of a level 7 peak civilization...?

He didn't even dare to think about it!

"Mass-energy conversion technology?" Lü Yongchang asked cautiously.

[Searching, please wait...]

Sorry, this technology was not detected in the existing database.

What the heck?!

Existing database?!

A bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart, and his once fiery heart slowly sank into an ice cave.
