Under Lynn's harsh conditions that could be described as robbery, even the disc leaders who had originally preferred compensation for defeat could not accept it.
"War, only a war can wash away this shame!" A war-advocating disc leader transmitted with the highest frequency of electromagnetic waves. Since the other party has no sincerity in negotiation, then gather more fleets and fight a full-scale war with the other party! Similar remarks soon dominated the entire disc parliament. However, as the true leader of the geometric civilization, the ring-shaped supreme leader was not blinded by anger. Instead, he looked at the archon who had just been released as the middleman of this negotiation through the quantum communication screen.
"Tova, you have been deep into the world of that civilization. How much do you know about them? Compared to us, what is their technological level?"
"Very powerful, very powerful. The technological level of the other civilization is definitely not something we can contend with!" Archon Tova said confidently. "I think we should give up the idea of war and continue negotiations to reduce the compensation to an acceptable level through consultation..."
"Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?" A disc leader asked with dissatisfaction.
If there really was such a huge gap in technological levels between the two sides, then they should have been completely defenseless in the previous galactic war.
Moreover, judging from the images sent by the warships that arrived at this star system, it does not look like a galaxy ruled by a powerful civilization at all. Instead, it is full of desolation and backwardness.
Seeing that the leaders of the Disc were deceived by these superficial appearances, Tova hurriedly told them all the information about the Magic Empire that he had learned in prison.
Using a galaxy as bait, releasing information to induce other civilizations to take the initiative to launch an attack, and then using the righteousness of anti-invasion to encircle and suppress these civilizations to meet their own moral needs. Such insidious behavior has shocked the leaders of the disk. No wonder they always feel that this civilization looks so divided...
However, compared to Tova, who had experienced it personally and believed in the words of the Light people, some of the disc leaders still had deep doubts about this and were unwilling to believe that the gap between the two sides would be so big that they could not resist.
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" the supreme leader asked solemnly.
"I have personally witnessed the powerful technology of manipulating elementary particles. In just an atomic fraction of time, they built a huge courtroom on the surface of the satellite. Their satellite prison also proves this point..." Tova spared no effort to exaggerate the power of the Magic Empire, and even deliberately boasted, just to dispel the disc leaders' intention to fight as much as possible.
Under Tova's constant assurances and exaggeration, the leaders of the disk, who were originally excited and wanted to start a war, had to calm down again and think about the pros and cons and gains and losses of war.
It is undoubtedly foolish to start a war that has no chance of winning, and it will only drag the entire civilization into the bottomless abyss!
"Perhaps only our ultimate weapon can make the other party feel fearful." Tova said hesitantly. This is also the only bargaining chip they can bring out in the negotiation, because it can indeed repel the high-dimensional biological weapons sent by the other party to annihilate the fleet.
Moreover, judging from the intelligence sent by other fleeing main ships, the black hole still exists in that void and has not been dealt with. It is not known whether it is impossible to do so or the consumption is too great... But in any case, it is enough to serve as a powerful deterrent and bargaining chip.
When Tova mentioned the ultimate weapon, the leaders of the disks had different expressions. There was no doubt that the artificial black hole was the killer weapon of the geometric civilization, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a black technology that transcended the level of civilization.
Although it has finally been made, the only one in stock for experiments has been used up. It will take at least another ten years to create a second micro black hole! For a galaxy-level civilization, ten years is neither long nor short. Sometimes an interstellar voyage takes more than ten years, but the other party may not be willing to give them another ten years of preparation time. At 1.5 times the speed of light, it will take five years to reach the border of the Geometry Civilization from the Eternal Star!
This does not include wormhole jumping, a technology that can cover large distances in a short period of time.
When Tova saw that the disc leaders did not respond immediately, he knew in his heart that they might not be able to use the ultimate weapon a second time in a short period of time.
Fortunately, the enemy may not know this, and perhaps we can use intimidation to increase our deterrence.
Tova, who was unsure but shouldering a heavy responsibility, quickly returned to the negotiations with the bottom line of compensation discussed by the leaders of the disk.
After more than half a month of bluffing and compromise, this unique negotiation concerning the survival of two civilizations was finally finalized. The original five star systems were reduced to three, the one hundred active warships were reduced to twenty, and element seven was reduced from 10,000 tons to 500 tons.
Originally, Tova wanted to replace element VII with other rare mineral resources, and even maintain the compensation of five star systems on this basis. After all, element VII is so important that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the foundation of geometric civilization.
Raphael, who was in charge of the negotiations, originally wanted to agree because the compensation offered by the other party was actually far higher than their expectations. In the end, it was Lin En who insisted on asking for it, forcing the other party to back down.
Given the identity they created before, they need to maintain relative strength. The more the other party wants to give something, the more casual they should act; the less the other party wants to give something, the more they should insist on asking for it.

It was under such conflicts that the situation reached the worst point, almost reaching the brink of war. Both Raphael and Tova were frightened, but they had to bite the bullet and continue the talks.
Although no one wants war to really break out, they have to make the other side believe that they are ready for a war at any time.
So much so that when Raphael returned from the negotiations, he looked a little depressed, but on the contrary, his face was filled with an unshakable smile, because they achieved this great victory with zero sacrifices without losing a single soldier!
With three full star systems and twenty interstellar battleships capable of long-distance voyages, the Magic Kingdom... or rather, the Magic Empire is a true galaxy-level civilization from today on!
