They actually succeeded in robbing a powerful interstellar civilization, and the compensation they received was beyond everyone's imagination. It was like a worker who worked hard to save money suddenly received a huge inheritance. The excitement was simply indescribable.
The happiest people are undoubtedly the legendary speakers, because in a sense, a planet represents a deity.
You should know that there are fifteen legendary wizards in the parliament now. Although the most powerful one, Vittorio, just broke through the ninth ring a few years ago and there is still a long way to go before the ascension ceremony can be held, but with the extremely abundant supplies now, this day will come sooner or later.
However, the galaxy they were in only had five planets, which was obviously not enough to be shared. Some speakers even worried that Lin En, who had ascended to the throne of god first, might be able to monopolize the resources of the entire star system.
There is no need to worry about the problem now. With a little trickery, they have gained control of three star systems. The universe is extremely vast and the resources are almost unlimited.
Just as the speakers were preparing to celebrate, Lin En asked a very important question: "When are they going to pay the compensation?"
"That's not explicitly stated..." Raphael answered hesitantly, and at the same time realized that he might have made a big mistake, that is, the concept of time of cosmic civilization might be different from theirs.
Thanks to previous negotiations and intelligence overheard in the satellite prison, they have figured out the basic time units of the Geometric civilization, which are divided into atomic seconds, atomic minutes, and atomic hours.
As the name suggests, this method of timing is based on the natural vibration frequency of atoms, which is very similar to the atomic clocks they made. The only difference is that the elements used are different. The other party uses hydrogen, which is number one on the periodic table and has the smallest mass.
In addition, the concept of year is also present in the vocabulary of the Geometry civilization. If the time is converted, one year of the Geometry people is roughly equivalent to about ten months here, and the unit standard is also one circle of the mother star around the star.
This should be the easiest and relatively applicable way of timekeeping for primitive civilizations, and it has been retained even after the geometric civilization moved towards the starry sky.
Just as Lin En guessed, although the issue of compensation had been finalized, the other party obviously had no intention of paying the bill immediately, but instead found various reasons to delay.
For example, the reserves of element VII are limited, and the Geometry Civilization does not have much stock. The mining and separation of ore both take time, so 500 tons of element VII will be divided into several batches, and are expected to be delivered within ten years.
As for the three star systems that were ceded, they were only given a star map with the locations of these star systems marked on it, without giving them specific coordinates. The twenty galaxy-class battleships were all placed within these star systems.
Raphael, who was originally full of high spirits, was suddenly dumbfounded, because according to the star map, the locations of these star systems were roughly estimated to be more than seventy light years away from them. Even with the original divine power spacecraft, it would take a full fifty years to arrive!
"Are they planning to go back on their word?" Aurora looked at the star map that was sent to her and frowned in dissatisfaction.
"No, this is probably just a test." Lin En said thoughtfully.
The sphere of influence of the Geometry civilization is very wide, and the other party did not deliberately choose star systems that are hundreds or even thousands of light years away from them, which means that they are not deliberately making things difficult for them, and it is impossible to find any mistakes in this regard.
The only problem is that the position coordinates are not given directly.
Raphael was somewhat annoyed. During the previous negotiations, he was busy discussing the gains and losses, arguing with the other party about the scope of compensation, and trying to increase his bargaining chips as much as possible. However, he ignored the equally important issue of time, giving the other party the possibility to play tricks.
Of course, the main reason is that the pressure of disguise is too great. If he is not careful, he will become the fuse that triggers another war. He has no time to care about these details.
“This is not your fault, Speaker Raphael. No one would be willing to make the other side bleed heavily after losing a small war... Even if this didn't happen, they would find another reason.” Lin En shook his head. Such small tests would probably happen more often in the future.
The Geometric Civilization will most likely continue to observe their subsequent actions. Whether it is accepting these star systems or subsequently managing these new territories incorporated into the empire, they will become indicators for the other party to measure their strength.
If they discover that their style of behavior is different from that of higher-dimensional civilizations, or that they fail to demonstrate sufficient deterrence, there is a high probability that something unexpected will happen again!
"Do we need to ask them to hand over the coordinates?" Raphael asked with a frown.
"This would be tantamount to admitting that we cannot carry out long-distance space-time delivery without coordinates," Lin En objected.
This technology is obviously very important. If they do not have this ability, it means that even if they can win in a head-on war, it will take thousands of years to completely destroy the geometric civilization. After all, the territory of a galaxy-level civilization is too large.
Lin En's words made the speakers present frown. Without the coordinates, they couldn't really fly the spaceship for fifty years, right?

"But fortunately, we have already obtained the coordinates in advance!" A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Lin En's mouth.
Vittorio and the others paused, looking at Lin En in surprise. Harov seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up. "Could it be that?"
"Yes!" Lin En nodded. "Although the nearest coordinates are four light years away and cannot be reached directly, this may be more beneficial to us!"
Raphael was confused. When did they get the coordinates of these star systems?
How come I don't know? Raphael was extremely confused, but seeing that the other speakers all looked like they had suddenly realized something, he couldn't bring himself to ask them.
"Notify those Geometry people immediately. We will send people to take over these three star systems in one day. Don't let them be too surprised!" Lin En said firmly.
