"Lin Shuguang?" Lu Yongchang, who was 9 light-years away, was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Fang Xu beside him. "Why did he go to the expeditionary fleet?"
"You agreed?"
Fang Xu shrugged and sat down in a chair with an annoyance: "Professor, as a member of the Human Rights Foreign Ministry, Lin Shuguang is naturally qualified to accompany the fleet on the expedition, especially in this matter."
"Moreover... when the Talodan civilization was discovered, the Sociology Department was in an uproar."
Lü Yongchang chuckled to himself.
He could even imagine the dreadful scene Fang Xu would have to deal with that group of academicians.
“As early as 1,500 years ago, when human civilization was still living on our home planet, there was a kind of creature that we loved.”
Lin Shuguang’s confident voice came from the speaker: “Next, I will transmit the relevant video data to you. Please feel free to receive it. We have no malicious intent.”
Looking at the real-time images in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang smiled and nodded: "That's right."
"This young man is quite nice."
Fang Xu's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately nodded and said, "I'll let the Sociology Department know when the time comes."
"The UN Foreign Affairs Department has been established for so long, it's time to select some leaders."
"Hmm." Lü Yongchang nodded in satisfaction and continued to look at the holographic projection in front of him.
...
Lin Shuguang's remarks quickly eased the tense atmosphere between the two sides.
The high-pitched chirping sound also softened again.
Especially after watching the transmitted video footage, everyone could even sense a hint of embarrassment in the actions and expressions of these panda people!
[Dear human civilization, I, on behalf of the Talodan civilization, sincerely apologize for the serious misunderstanding that occurred to you without understanding the specific circumstances.]
A hint of unease flickered in Lin Shuguang's eyes, and he coughed lightly.
The Talodan civilization's drastic change in attitude was naturally related to the content of that video footage.
It's not exactly fake; it's just a "appropriate" snapshot of a small part of the harmonious coexistence between humans and pandas.
"Ahem!" Lin Shuguang cleared his throat and pointed to the distant porthole. "It seems you've run into some trouble?"
【Yes! 】
[Respected human civilization, they call themselves the Eugene Civilization, and are a group of...]
“Interstellar pirates, we classify them as space pirate civilizations,” Lin Shuguang said with a light laugh. “Human civilization has encountered similar situations before.”
Upon hearing this, the panda's guard lessened even further!
...
Under Lin Shuguang's guidance, the first exchange between the two civilizations proceeded very smoothly, except for the initial slight mishap.
Until a notification message came.
"An electromagnetic communication request has been detected. This information includes dictionary information."
"Information source:..."
The moment the electronic synthesized voice rang out, the pandaren in the holographic projection who called himself Ardan changed his expression drastically!
Under the watchful eyes of Lin Shuguang and the others, its fur became fluffy again, and the chirping sounds it made became extremely rapid.
[Respected human civilization, please do not believe the words of that evil civilization!]
[As you said yourself, they are a space pirate civilization, they are evil!]
A hint of hesitation appeared in Aldan's eyes, but it quickly made a decision.
If possible, I would like to ask you to help destroy this evil civilization!
Upon hearing this, a smile immediately appeared in Lin Shuguang's eyes.
The fish has taken the bait!
It was worth all the effort he put into chatting with these panda people for so long!
"Why should we help you?" Lin Shuguang said unhurriedly. "As you know, human civilization is a civilization that values peace."
"We will not arbitrarily attack other civilizations without infringing upon our interests."
...
The Talodan civilization.
Upon hearing this, Aldan felt his heart skip a beat.
I didn't believe your nonsense!
"Not acting rashly" means destroying the detectors immediately after issuing a warning, while simultaneously hacking into the central computer to analyze the fleet's coordinates.
You're really something!
But there's no way around it; the biggest weakness is the lack of civilizational strength.
It could only follow Lin Shuguang's words and ask politely, "Then, what price do we have to pay to get human civilization to help us?"
After a short wait, Lin Shuguang's voice came from the speaker, and at the same time, a line of text appeared on the screen in the command center.
[To become our subordinate civilization.]
Human civilization has an obligation to ensure the safety of its subordinate civilizations.
The moment that line of text appeared, a commotion broke out in the command center!
"The people of Talodan will never be slaves!"
"Chief, they, like the Eugene civilization, want to turn us into slaves!!"
"Damn it, let's fight them! So what if they're a Level 5 civilization?!"
"Let's give it our all!!"
Aldan, his expression grim, shouted, "Quiet!"
"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket!"
Once the command center had returned to calm, it composed itself and softened its tone as much as possible: "Respected human civilization, you have seen it too."
“Our people do not want to be slaves, not even slaves of advanced civilizations.”
You've misunderstood.
[A subordinate civilization, not a slave.]
Human civilization aims to establish a mutually beneficial, mutually supportive, and progressive interstellar alliance.
Even after becoming a subordinate civilization, you will still retain relatively complete autonomy, and you can even live as before.
At the same time, human civilization will open interstellar trade routes to you.
All contributions to human civilization and the Interstellar Alliance will be converted into credits. These credits can be used to purchase various advanced devices and weapons possessed by human civilization.
[With enough credits, you can even purchase warships from level five civilizations, as well as some crucial technology blueprints and theoretical information.]
Antimatter engines, warp drives, grand unified theories, black hole creation and control schemes...
These can be purchased as long as you become a subordinate civilization to humanity.
The atmosphere in the command center suddenly underwent a subtle and inexplicable change.
P.S.: Thanks to the great Mei Jianzhi Bitai for the certification!
