The secret conversation with Deerjaran went well.

After the agreement was reached, the two sides said goodbye in a friendly atmosphere. Then, within a few minutes, a milky white light helicopter took off from the apron of the cruise ship, carrying the two big men away quickly.

Zhao Xinglan looked at the three brand-new gold cards in his hand, and said in his heart that this group of foreign guys was really not ordinarily arrogant. In the past, even those world-renowned top rich people wanted to come up with as much as 30 billion idle funds at will, which was quite a difficult thing.

But this is only good for the current self, the position of the richest man in the world, it seems that no one has been able to snatch it in recent decades. And if nothing else, Xinglan Group's operating sales this year will be more amazing than those well-known international arms and energy giants, and the world's largest and strongest biopharmaceutical giant is already well deserved!

Moreover, this world-renowned pharmaceutical giant is only a small part of its wealth empire that can be disclosed, and the most important foundation is all hidden in the darkness, which is the real confidence of its future to dominate the crowd and look down on many countries and power organizations around the world.

“…… This broken organization seems to be a little not simple, maybe it is indeed stronger than the Lomenga remnants and the Musariya Empire, and it still retains the ability to cross the starry sky, and there is an empire in the depths of the sea of stars as a backing? Goddess Lan thought silently in her heart.

By now, she had guessed what the other party needed that poison-like hallucinogen. It is nothing more than a plan to quietly resell it to a powerful alien intelligent race in the depths of the Star Sea, so as to make huge profits.

Although Zhao Xinglan made a lot of money, they would make more and more exaggerated profits, and they could secretly exchange for a sufficient number of warships and various precious resources, and regain the capital to fight against that group of rebels.

And Dilslan's last words made her not an ordinary shock, it was about the deep secrets of the earth's civilization. Over the past long years, the number of civilizations that have been born and risen on this little blue star has been much more than she expected.

The lifespan of human beings is limited, or the lifespan of any living thing is limited, even if it is magnified to a group or a civilization. In this vast sea of stars in the universe, there is no such thing as eternal and immortal, whether it has been in the past, it is in the future.

Take history as a mirror and know the rise and fall. Is there a "secret" in the vast sea of stars that makes it difficult for a wise civilization to flourish forever? It is a question that no one can answer.

Because of the various differences between intelligent life, the civilizations that can evolve are also diverse. According to that Dilslan, the vast majority of civilizations that were born with great difficulty often decline and die for one reason or another in the middle of the process.

Even those powerful empires that flourished for a time and ruled the vast Star Sea World would also decline and collapse in strength due to some hidden dangers, and eventually disappear in the long river of time.

According to D'Elslan, less than 10 percent of every 100 intelligent races that have successfully evolved into primitive civilizations have been able to develop smoothly until they enter the age of industrialization, and among the less than 10 lucky intelligent races, less than three have been able to leave their home planet and enter the space age, and the rest have declined or even become extinct for one reason or another.

Just like today's human civilization, which has been on the verge of total nuclear destruction more than once in the past few decades, is still in a cold equilibrium under mutual constraints, if the decision-makers of a major country lose their minds, the entire blue star can be "restarted" overnight, completely returning to the Stone Age.

Among these few lucky people, there are only a very small number of intelligent races that can successfully open the door of the stars, get out of the star system where the home star is located, and really leave their homes to explore the surrounding starry sky, and it would be good to have four or five out of a hundred races.

Only at this point can this intelligent race itself be regarded as basically possessing the power of self-preservation, and it can be called a real interstellar civilization, that is, a first-level interstellar civilization.

The first-level interstellar civilization only has the initial qualifications to step on the stage of the star sea, and if you want to go further and become a more powerful second-level interstellar civilization, you must continue to actively forge ahead.

After several years of development, the population size, resource reserves, wealth accumulation, and scientific and technological military strength of the primary interstellar civilization must reach a high enough standard, and it can occupy at least one territory the size of a star field before it can be qualified to be called a second-level interstellar civilization.

A third-level interstellar civilization must occupy dozens to hundreds of star fields as its territory, and a fourth-level powerful interstellar civilization must occupy a dominant position within at least one large galaxy to meet the standard.

What a shocking and great existence of the fourth-level and higher intelligent civilization, Dilslan did not further explain, it is a behemoth that is famous enough to shock the heavens and the universe, admired and aweed by countless interstellar races, and the glorious civilization epic has been praised through the ages.

Of course, this is not all the criteria, and a series of key indicators such as population size, military strength, scientific and technological achievements, and social and economic development level must also meet the minimum requirements in order to be recognized by other interstellar forces in the surrounding area.

As for how long it takes for an intelligent race to rise to the ranks of high-level interstellar civilizations above level 3, there is no unified and accurate standard to refer to. The fastest may only take thousands of years, and the slowest may take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years!

The most recent example is the Lomsasron civilization that was born on Earth, the empire founded by the ancestors of Nikolai and Dillsblue. It took less than a thousand years from just entering the industrial era to step out of the home planet, operate and develop step by step, and finally reluctantly join the third-level interstellar civilization club.

The dinosaur civilization that was born in a certain era on the earth really took nearly 100,000 years to become a recognized third-level interstellar civilization, and it didn't take long for it to be destroyed under the invasion of alien races.

The intelligent races that can enter the ranks of interstellar civilizations above the third level have nothing to say about their strength in all aspects. But even so, it doesn't mean that she can enjoy the blessings once and for all. According to the countless historical facts that have been obtained, even if it is the most powerful and enlightened super civilization with the most advanced and enlightened development concept, its lifespan is not endless.

“…… In the billions of years of history of the earth, among the many interstellar civilizations that have risen from here and gone out, the strongest and longest-surviving civilization known to have originated in the East,"

Dills Blue finally said: "It took more than 500 years for them to develop and evolve from the era of industrial civilization to a first-class interstellar civilization, which is relatively fast, and in her heyday, they once occupied the entire vast galaxy, plus many neighboring galaxies, and there are vast colonial territories and resource gathering star fields in many galaxies. ”

However, even such a powerful intelligent civilization still cannot avoid the iron law of the universe that alternates between prosperity and decline, and reincarnation and decline! Eventually, it began to decline due to various reasons. until complete extinction. There is no trace of them in the Star Sea World today.

As for the human civilization of this era, it is actually on the eve of the interstellar era, as long as it develops smoothly for another one or two hundred years, and the residual technology of those prehistoric civilizations is deciphered and digested, it can also open the star gate and ascend to the vast star sea stage.

Of course, if you can get the support of other interstellar civilizations, then this time node can be greatly advanced. At the very least, after obtaining the thousands of alloy material technology formulas of the Musariya Empire, Huaguo's science and technology will inevitably usher in a blowout, which is equivalent to saving decades of development time.

Zhao Xinglan shook her head, these things are too far away for her current self, let's do the things in front of me first.

She began to wander around the cruise ship, and there was no shortage of entertainment on the big one, the most famous of which was gambling.

Gambling is one of the oldest professions of human civilization, and every year countless wealthy businessmen and tycoons become impoverished and live on the streets because of this kind of game. In such a place, the rate of transfer of wealth is second only to war, and this is the greatest charm of casinos.

"Lan Lan, are you going to try your luck too?" asked Ji Meng after learning Zhao Xinglan's thoughts.

Zhao Xinglan smiled: "Try it, maybe you can make another sum of money today, I believe that many guys will be very happy to send money to this palace." ”

Ji Meng turned his head sideways and looked at the group of rich young children who were following in the distance, and his heart was clear. They were all quietly watching the stunning goddess's every move, and if she was going to try her luck at the casino, someone would definitely take the opportunity to get close.

Stepping into the territory of the gaming area, two tall and beautiful maids immediately greeted them and greeted them courteously.

Zhao Xinglan took out a gold card and said, "Help us exchange 500 million chips and send it over, thank you!"

"No problem. Beautiful young lady, I'll do it for you at once!" replied one of the maids, with a hint of shock in her eyes.

The entire gaming area is huge, from slot machines to dice, from stud to cards, from mahjong to roulette, there is no shortage of all kinds of tricks, so that every visitor can choose their favorite way to play.

Soon, a team of maids brought over the exchanged chips on delicate silver plates. One million aquamarine chips, a total of five hundred, filled five plates.

(PS: The cute tiger is rolling and begging for tickets!)
