Chapter 949: United
Ali soon returned, only that instead of Lilia, she had brought back another Arcadian.
"What's going on?"
"Basically, it worked, but these Arcadians wanted to know what was going on on the home planet. They chose a representative and asked me to take him back to see it. ”
Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ali very suspiciously.
"It's a small request, right?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled bitterly, this is indeed a small request, and it is a meaningless request at all, because Ali doesn't need to take that Arcadian back to his home planet at all, with Ali's ability, he can easily erase that Acadian's memory, and then write a new set of memories, so that the Arcadian thinks that he has returned to his home planet, and then tell the news to other Acadians.
However, Arley didn't do that.
It's not hard to get back to the Acadia system, and it's not a bad thing to have this representative of the five trillion Acadians go back and have a look.
At the very least, they knew that human civilization had spared the Acadians, and they could also see the strength of human civilization.
Instead of using the two-way spatial bridge that had been erected before, Ali reopened a spatial bridge in order to let the Arcadians know her identity.
To know the way, only the creator can open the space bridge.
Valentine is finished, and Arley has shown himself as a creator who is better able to convince the Arcadians of the importance of making wise choices.
Of course, after seeing the current planet Arcadia, as well as the indigenous civilizations living on the planet Arcadia, he will definitely be able to make a wise choice.
"Well, believe it now, right?"
The Arcadians were silent, his name was Goth, he had a ninth-level composite star core, he was the most powerful warrior among the Arcadians, he had participated in the war with human civilization, and he had learned the powerful strength of human warriors. He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want five trillion Arcadians to die with him.
"If that's not enough, I can take you to more than a dozen other star systems."
As soon as Ali said this, Gode came back to his senses.
"Before we halted our offensive for a moment, we had conquered the star systems that you had taken from other intelligent civilizations. Maybe you don't know the actual situation, but you can't deny the facts. Those more than a dozen star systems originally belonged to other intelligent civilizations, and you eliminated those intelligent civilizations and occupied their homeland. You may think that we are cruel and have wiped out many Acadians in this war, but what you have done before is no different from what we are doing now. In fact, even before you reached the Tuleth system, there was a very developed intelligent civilization there, which was only wiped out by Valentine. ”
"Why do you want us to surrender?" Goth asks a very pointed question.
"If you don't surrender, we'll wipe out all the Arcadians."
"That's not a reason."
Ali smiled and left the opportunity to answer this question to Chu Tianjiang.
"We need the Acadians, or we need to work with more intelligent civilizations." Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and said, "We have formed a Smart Civilization Alliance, and there are already dozens of members, and more Smart Civilizations will join this alliance in the future. ”
"So, we're going to be members of the Alliance?"
"It's not."
"What's that?"
"A more advanced being than a member of the Alliance."
"Enslaved by human civilization?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled reluctantly and said, "If you want to say that, I can't help it, but I think it's more appropriate to say that it's interdependent." As far as I know, your ancestors were parasitic beings, and through parasitism, they gained more nutrients and eventually evolved wisdom. ”
Brother had to look at Chu Tianjiang, his expression was very complicated.
"As long as you surrender, humanity will have the same relationship with the Acadians as your ancestors did with their hosts. Humanity needs the Arcadians to explore and develop the star system, and humanity provides security for all Acadians so that they can thrive in each star system. Chu Tianjiang paused slightly, and then said, "Of course, you should know that there are many intelligent civilizations in the three-dimensional universe, and some of them are very powerful, even us, or the former Arcadian civilization, cannot match them, so we need to obtain the most valuable resources, and the Arcadians can obtain everything else." ”
"What's the difference between this and slavery?"
"A big difference."
"I don't think so."
Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "So, do you think that you have to join the alliance in order to get along with human civilization on an equal footing?" ”
"Why don't you let us join the alliance?"
"There are two points. First, Valentine is dead, your creator is finished, so you are not eligible to join the Alliance. ”
The brother was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of surprise, but immediately calmed down.
The fact that the Arcadians are about to lose this war, and that their creator has not appeared, is enough to show that their creator is finished.
"Second, the treatment you get from joining the alliance is not necessarily better than the conditions I offer you now."
"Really?"
"The intelligent civilizations that have joined the alliance have all given up their autonomy and degraded to the stage of natural evolution, and only the home star of their birth has been retained, and the entire star system and other star systems under its control have been handed over to the management of human civilization, that is, the most important resources in their hands."
Gode's brows jumped a few times, and he looked at Chu Tianjiang in disbelief.
"If you don't believe me, we can take you to the star systems of those intelligent civilizations. If you're going to say slavery, that's real slavery. ”
"So, you think the Arcadian civilization is more valuable?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled bitterly and said, "Having said so much, I just hope that you can seize this opportunity, because I can give you a chance, but I can't give you a second chance." ”
"And then?"
"You should know that if we hadn't stopped the attack, the war would have ended. It's not just you, it's all the Acadians in the Tuleth system. "Chu Tianjiang felt that it was necessary to speak more heavily." I can also tell you that even without the Acadians, there are other intelligent civilizations in this universe. Within an area of 500 light-years around the Acadia system, there are several intelligent civilizations comparable to the Acadian civilization. If we can defeat the Arcadian civilization, we can defeat those intelligent civilizations. Perhaps, there will be some intelligent civilizations that are as unyielding as the Arcadian civilization, but there will definitely be one intelligent civilization that will grasp the right to live. ”
"It's just the right to live."
"The right to live means everything. Even if the Acadian civilization had to degenerate to the stage of natural evolution, it would mean that the trillions of Acadians would have a chance to live and be able to enjoy living like your ancestors, not for the sake of living. More importantly, the Arcadian civilization was able to continue to grow, continue to expand, and eventually become one of the largest civilizations in the universe. ”
Brother was silent, it was indeed true.
"Think about it, before you return to the Tuleth system, you have to make a decision to decide the fate of five trillion Arcadians."
"The last question."
Chu Tianjiang was a little speechless, thinking that this guy was too wordy.
"Why doesn't human civilization occupy and develop the star system by itself, but let us come forward?"
"Quite simply, human civilization is not as strong as you think. Although human civilization has defeated you, it does not mean that it can defeat all powerful intelligent civilizations. In this cosmic space, there are many powerful intelligent civilizations, some of which we cannot even imagine. If human civilization is to shoulder the burden of external expansion alone, it will have to choose between consolidating its colonies and expanding its armaments, at least with some emphasis, which means that it will take us more time to become strong enough. Joining forces with the Acadians allows us to focus on building our armaments, allows us to grow in less time, and allows us to win the next war. In the same way, on the road to the victory of human civilization, the Arcadian civilization can enjoy many benefits, develop and grow together with human civilization, and become the most powerful intelligent civilization in the universe. Chu Tianjiang finished speaking in one breath, paused for a while, and then said, "I believe that the Arcadians are the first, but they are definitely not the last intelligent civilization to unite with human civilization. In the future, there will be more intelligent civilizations that stand with mankind. ”
"There are a lot of them right now."
"The alliance is not a union, and it needs to have enough capital to unite with us."
"So, we have no other choice?"
"The choice is always there, it's just up to you how you choose."
Goth seems to have made a decision. "I'll make a choice."
"So, we can go back?" Ali asked.
Brother nodded and didn't say anything more.
He had already made a decision, and Chu Tianjiang and Ali both saw it, and it was a wise decision, because it was impossible for him to send five trillion compatriots to death. Although these five trillion Arcadians will have to face death sooner or later after receiving the transformation, it is much better than dying now.
What's more, the Acadian civilization will continue and become even stronger in the future.
Not to mention Goth, even if he were replaced by another Arcadian, he would make such a choice. Even if it is necessary to obey the call of human civilization, it is obviously more attractive than to perish, to develop and grow with human civilization in the future and enjoy the benefits brought by human civilization to launch expansion wars.
