The command room fell into a brief silence, and everyone's eyes fell on the empty holographic screen on the conference table, and there was nothing to do for a while.

The transaction information issued by the Shepherd Clan is very technological, however, there is nothing they can do on their side, and the only thing they have is probably a copy of the star map of the universe.

"What is the real strength of this civilization? Professor Yang Yi raised his eyes to look at everyone and said suddenly.

"Hmm, what do you say?" Zhou Yu was slightly stunned and looked at Professor Yang Yi in puzzlement.

"Commander, you see, they don't have any scientific and technological equipment, but they have such scientific and technological information, and the content of the reply to us is all graphic data, and they also need to be translated by Xiao Zhi, if they are super civilization, they will definitely not be in this tone. Yang Yi looked strange and analyzed.

"Well, after you say this, I feel that there is also a bit of a problem, we killed the deep-sea giant beast - Harto before, and the size is much larger than them, and the power is fierce, this group of creatures in front of us can't be compared to it at all!" Professor Yang Yi looked at Zhou Yu and said.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help frowning, and when they said this, he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

"Then what to do now, do you want to test their power?" Zhou Yu looked at Professor Smith and Professor Yang Yi.

This one......

Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while, the universe was vast, and the alien creatures they saw were just a scale and half a claw, and they had no way of knowing what kind of special means the other party had, just that the other party had mastered countless high-tech technologies, which was enough to make them afraid.

"Don't want it! The other party can make a Dyson ball, and the technological ability is definitely not ordinary!" Professor Smith said admittently.

A sufficiently developed civilization can harness the full energy output of their own star by building a ball of receivers and energy converters. These balls, known as "Dyson spheres", can of course provide a huge amount of energy, but they also radiate a comparable amount of heat.

This heat can be detected many light-years away in the infrared range of the spectrum.

Still others take this idea a step further, and civilizations that are millions of years ahead of human civilization may use the energy of entire galaxies, or even entire clusters of galaxies.

Able to build something like a Dyson sphere, and able to handle the full energy output of their star. Such a culture may have figured out a way to circumvent the speed of light. A culture that has developed to this stage is thousands or even tens of thousands of years more advanced than humans.

"Yes, it's like infinite value-added technology is also very advanced!Especially for us!" Hearing this, Professor Yang Yi also compromised, and it was too unwise to provoke a powerful opponent with only a slight suspicion.

"However, I also feel that the other party is so weak! This formation they put on is a bit of a bluff, and it is not on the same level as us!" General Hiller looked at Zhou Yu and added.

The fleet group controlled by human civilization is more than ten times that of the other side, and the volume of each warship is more than three times larger than that of the other side.

"Commander, the speed at which the other party accepts and replies to messages is much faster than ours!" Zhou Xiaozhi said at this time.

Hearing this, everyone's spirits were shocked, and they all looked at Zhou Xiaozhi with bright eyes.

"Ash, quick, hurry, let's list the data on both sides. Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xiaozhi excitedly and commanded.

"Understood, Commander," Zhou Xiaozhi responded.

Immediately, a large amount of data was displayed on the holographic screen, which were the number of parameters of the two sides, and in contrast, it was clear which was stronger and which was weaker.

The distance between the two sides is 270 million kilometers, Zhou Xiaozhi uses a tunnel communication device, and transmits the data to the other party in a few seconds, however, the transmission technology used by the other party is a photon signal, which has to be transmitted through a long time, and there is a huge gap between the two in being able to reach such a side.

"This kind of technology is the transmission technology used in the Earth Era! What kind of Shepherd Clan, this civilization must be impersonated. Professor Smith looked at the holographic screen with sparkling eyes, and judged with a determined expression.

"Commander, do it! The other party must be posturing. General Hiller looked at Zhou Yu and said excitedly.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Yu's face full of anticipation, eager to let the fleet set off immediately and snatch all those who could.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, we need accurate information, if we can surrender without a fight, this is the biggest victory. Zhou Yu smiled slightly, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

Everyone nodded their heads and breathed a sigh of relief, if it could be like what Zhou Yu said, it would be great.

"Commander, there's a message from the other side of the street, they say that the star map can only be changed to one technology, and they want us to provide the star map first so that they can confirm the authenticity. Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yu and reported.

"Hmph, these pretentious guys, we have seen through their essence!" Professor Smith said with hatred, if they really could only change one thing, then they would definitely have a lot of trouble inside, because many of the things provided by the other party were the technologies they urgently needed, and if they could obtain a few things, their existing technological civilization could step onto a new level.

"It's strange, if this civilization is pretending, then they have so many advanced technologies, and they are taking them out in a grand manner, so it is unreasonable to blow up their treasures and attract enemies!" Professor Carter said, staring at the holographic screen, puzzled.

Hearing this, everyone's faces sank in unison, and after listening to his analysis, they couldn't help but feel apprehensive again.

"You have some truth in what you say, if there is something wrong with them, such as the destruction of civilizations, or the accidental acquisition of other civilizations' troves of technology,...... , all see if such a situation can occur. Professor Yang Yi followed Professor Carter's train of thought and guessed.

"Yes, the strength that these ones are showing now is too different from the level of technology they have, and they may not even be able to understand the level of these technologies, so they want to be like beggars with crowns, offering treasures everywhere, for fear that others will not know their power!" Professor Smith analyzed.

"Yes, I'm going to vote for Professor Smith, the other side must have done this to deter us, because they have discovered the powerful us!" General Shearer stared at the holographic screen, analyzing from the perspective of a strong man.

……

The conference room fell into a heated discussion, and the two sides maintained their respective views and argued endlessly, however, more people were inclined to judge with their eyes, and the strength of the other party was obviously not enough to support the name of the Shepherd family.

The fierce controversy could not be distinguished in a short period of time, and in the end, everyone's eyes looked at Zhou Yu and listened to his decision.

Traveling to a strange universe so far, Zhou Yu, the head of state, has done a very good job, he is calm, but not indecisive, serious in his work, but not "perfect" in everything, pay attention to details, but do not stick to the subsection of the negotiation and arrangement of work, rarely give orders, be tolerant of others, and be willing to endure: strict self-discipline, convincing others with actions, not satisfied with the status quo, but not detached from reality.

It is precisely because of Zhou Yu's high-quality character that he can lead human civilization to take root on a strange planet, and he has outstanding talent in military affairs, especially in the battle against the deep-sea monsters, it is his perfect command art that enables human civilization to achieve a brilliant victory at the lowest cost.

Therefore, Zhou Yu's position in the minds of everyone is unsellable, even if his son Zhou Xing comes, he cannot replace it.

Facing everyone's trusting gaze, Zhou Yu smiled, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and ordered: "Xiaozhi, I am replying to them with a message, asking for an increase in the number of exchanges, and asking them to change to a faster communication method, speak in a tough tone, don't be polite." ”

"Commander! Zhou Xiaozhi is as good as a stream, and he responds to orders.

After listening to the content of Zhou Yu's order, everyone's eyes lit up, this reply was full of spy, once the other party answered badly, it was tantamount to self-destruction, and at the same time, the other party also knew the suspicion of human beings, and if he didn't show enough confidence, then next, it could be a real war.

This is a conspiracy that cannot be responded to, on the poker table, the human side obviously has more chips, and now Zhou Yu boldly chooses stud, whether the other party follows or not, he has to show an attitude.

Time passed bit by bit, and everyone stared at the holographic screen, waiting for each other's reply, and the scene was silent.

"Haven't you been back yet? It's been almost ten minutes. Professor Smith impatiently asked Zhou Xiaozhi.

"No, Professor!" Zhou Xiaozhi rolled his eyes at Professor Smith, and in just ten minutes, he had asked no less than twenty times.

"Commander, do you want to send another email to urge!" Professor Yang Yi couldn't wait, and looked at Zhou Yu and asked.

Zhou Yu smiled, shook his head and said, "Silence is the answer I want most." ”

In the next second, Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and ordered: "The whole army will speed up and set up an attack formation!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, not understanding his thoughts.

"Yes, Commander!" Zhou Xiaozhi replied loudly.

In an instant, in the space universe, the huge 'Xuanwu' ship group, sliding on all fours, erupted with a powerful force field repulsion, pushing the entire fleet like an arrow to the planet in front of it.

Not long after the fleet moved forward, Zhou Xiaozhi's voice sounded in the flagship command room: "Commander, we have received a letter from the other party, and the other party asked us to keep the original distance. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, revealing an expected expression: "Very good, don't pay attention to the other party, let's reduce the speed by 60%, pay attention to the other party's movements!"

"Yes, Commander!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded.

In an instant, the speed of the huge group of ships decreased in unison, but it still maintained a constant speed and rushed towards the opponent.

"Commander, the other party has mastered so many advanced technologies, it is possible to master strategic-level weapons!" General Hiller frowned, looked at Zhou Yu and reminded.

"Well, that's a big possibility!" Professor Smith nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and explained, "That's why I asked Xiao Zhi to slow down!"

After speaking, Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and continued to instruct: "Xiaozhi, send a message to the other party, just say that we can't accept the trading conditions they mentioned, and we must communicate with the Muxing clan face-to-face, so that they can maintain restraint." ”

"Understood, Commander!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded, and quickly passed the news over.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't cry or laugh, Zhou Yu's appearance of eating the other party's laipi, the other party must be mad!

If they did, the other side would have already started to do so, so let's talk about it! Human civilization obviously doesn't intend to talk to them anymore.

How will the other party reply?

Everyone looked at the holographic screen, full of anticipation.

A few minutes passed, as soon as the interstellar communication signal was lit, the other party sent back a message, and Zhou Xiaozhi immediately analyzed: "Commander, the other party asked us to stop approaching immediately, and the trading conditions can be negotiated again, but if we get closer to a million kilometers, they will use force, and they have an interstellar weapon in their hands-gamma-ray burst, which can easily destroy us." ”

"Well, since everyone has said so, let's stop moving forward!" Zhou Yu smiled and instructed Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Obey, Commander!" Zhou Xiaozhi answered, and immediately, the fleet that was rushing slowly stopped.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu looked at everyone: "The strength of this civilization, everyone almost understands it!"

Hearing this, everyone laughed and nodded.

Zhou Yu's test has almost dug out the other party's old bottom, the other party is obviously a very weak civilization, but it has a lot of science and technology, although it is possible to have an extraordinary interstellar strategic weapon in his hand, as he said to them, but the other party is already like meat on the board, and he can't escape their control.

Zhou Yu's expression was solemn, and he looked at everyone: "Next, we have to work hard for everyone! We will try our best to find out the true details of the other party and dig up the scientific and technological information that the other party has mastered." ”

"Understood!" everyone nodded in unison.

"I'll come first! I suggest sending a small fleet to visit, and if the other side refuses, we can set up an encirclement posture and force it to submit by force!" General Shearer looked at Zhou Yu.

"This suggestion can be okay, but if it's too strong, it's easy to cause the other party to resist. Professor Smith frowned.

"I don't recommend using force to coerce, we can continue to increase the pressure, test the opponent's bottom line step by step, and constantly create psychological pressure, and finally force the other side to surrender. Professor Yang Yisi proposed.

"Actually, it's very easy to do, anyway, the other party can't escape, let's just grind slowly, whether it is force or psychological pressure, we can take turns. Professor Carter said with a smile.

Looking at the people who were constantly discussing it, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, very satisfied.
