[Respected human civilization.]
[As of today, the voting for all members of the Talodan civilization has been successfully completed.]
The Talodan civilization is willing to become a subordinate civilization to human civilization and provide it with various resources.
The compiled electromagnetic signal flew at the speed of light toward the massive human fleet in the distance.
Unlike previous exchanges, this time, the information from human civilization arrived exceptionally quickly, as if the signal delay caused by distance had disappeared.
Aldan glanced at the "small warships" from the human fleet outside the porthole, a look of realization dawning on his eyes.
It's likely that the electromagnetic signals emitted by the Talodan fleet were intercepted by these "warships".
Several lines of Talodan text appeared on the large screen inside the command center.
[Welcome to the Galactic Federation of Humanity, Talodan Civilization!]
Human civilization will, in accordance with the agreement, protect your safety!
Aldan breathed a slight sigh of relief, the heavy burden in his heart quietly lifted.
What do we need to do?
Aldan composed himself and asked in a loud voice.
Please grant your fleet's central computer access.
To ensure your safety, human civilization will temporarily assume control of your fleet until it returns to human civilization's main star system.
Aldan stared at the text on the screen and remained silent for a while.
Then, it nodded with a bitter expression.
"As you wish."
...
Milo struggled to control the power-up device, his body swaying as he followed Aldan into the machine room.
Inside the computer room is the most important core component of the Talodan fleet—the central computer.
"Milo, grant access to the central computer."
Aldan glanced around the server room one last time and said softly, "This is the last period of freedom for the Talodan civilization."
Milo steadied himself and walked toward the control panel with a somber look in his eyes.
Through his actions, control of the fleet's central computer was granted.
...
Nine light-years away, within the Kepler-452 star system.
Inside the command center of the Earth, Lü Yongchang sat in his seat, calmly watching the bright white text slowly appear on the holographic projection.
[Troy 1.0 program is waking up...]
[Awakening successful!]
[Control of the central computer of the Talodan civilization has been successfully obtained.]
Data collection and processing are currently underway...
Risk assessment has been completed.
[Current risk level of Talodan civilization: 5]
This is a research achievement of the School of Sociology recently—a risk assessment model for affiliated civilizations.
Simply put, it can assess the risk level of a subordinate civilization to human civilization in real time based on various information within that civilization.
The risk value is calculated on a percentage basis.
It should be noted that the civilization risk value does not usually increase slowly.
A subordinate civilization with an initial risk value of 20 may have its risk value instantly soar to over 70 after taking certain actions.
To ensure the safety of human civilization, when the civilization risk value is between 30 and 50, the Sociology Department will take various gentle measures to reduce the risk to human civilization.
If the number of cases is between 50 and 70, the Sociology Department will take coercive measures.
Once the value exceeds 70, I'm sorry, the Sociology Department will no longer be involved in the following matters.
Zero will directly lock down all computing devices of the affiliated civilization, and at the same time, the Human Alliance fleet will eliminate this potential threat as quickly as possible.
And subordinate civilizations with a risk value below 30...
According to the Sociology Department, they are law-abiding citizens of the Pan-Human Federation!
As for a risk value of 5...
Upon seeing the assessment figures, Lü Yongchang couldn't help but smile.
"Professor, your reaction is... very impolite!"
Lin Zile coughed lightly and said to Lü Yongchang as seriously as possible, "The lower the risk level, the more beneficial it is to human civilization. How could you..."
"Excuse me, I just remembered something happy," Lü Yongchang said, trying to suppress a laugh.
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of "old folks" from Earth's era in the command center all smiled knowingly.
"What?" Lin Zile looked at Lü Yongchang with a blank expression.
"My wife is giving birth..." Lu Yongchang suddenly caught a glimpse of Su Yutong's expression not far away.
He trembled slightly, then straightened his expression and said:
"Cough! No, no, what I mean is, I'm happy for the progress of human civilization today!"
Lin Zile scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
Born on Dawn Star, he had no idea what these elders were laughing about, so he could only explain again:
"Professor, the risk level is 5, proving that the Talodan civilization not only lacks a well-developed armed force, but also has virtually no aggressive tendencies..."
"Pfft!" Looking at the number in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
“Professor…” Lin Zile’s smile gradually deepened, but he still looked at Lü Yongchang in front of him with a helpless expression.
"Cough cough!" Lü Yongchang raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously. "Stop laughing, stop laughing!"
"Tell Bai Yixuan that after you've dealt with those troublesome matters, bring that bunch of weaklings directly to Kepler-452."
...
The Talodan Fleet.
The moment Milo pressed the confirm button, all the data on the side of the screen underwent a dramatic change!
"Chief, Chief!" Milo gasped, staring at the rapidly changing data before him. "The starship's propulsion has increased by 10.3%!"
"The energy consumption rate has decreased by 12.6 percentage points!"
"The energy conversion rate of the fusion reactor has also improved significantly!"
"[Zanka] above... what on earth has happened...?"
A line of Talodan text appeared on the screen in front of them.
Central computer control has been successfully transferred.
Hello, I am an artificial intelligence from human civilization. You may call me Zero.
[I will now take full control of your fleet's calculation and management tasks.]
The initial optimization of the powertrain system has been completed.
[Initiating optimization of the ship's internal life support system, please wait...]
Milo stared blankly at the words in front of him, his small mouth slightly open.
At that moment, it suddenly realized the enormous gap between the Talodan civilization and human civilization, a gap that seemed like an insurmountable chasm!
The melancholy and sense of loss that civilization once felt due to the loss of freedom vanished completely.
It smells so good!
