It took a long time for Bei Yang to breathe.

"If you think about it, make a decision, don't hesitate. In my memory, you have never been the type of person to hesitate. ”

"That was in the past, not now."

"So, you're no longer the Beiyang of the past, not the ambitious Beiyang anymore?"

"That's not what I meant." Bei Yang sighed and said, "In the four-dimensional universe, even if I pose a serious threat to Becca, he can't do anything to me. Now it's different, my life and death have no effect on the three-dimensional universe at all. ”

"Then you have to choose wisely. Becca didn't deal with you personally, not because he didn't want to kill you, but because he didn't feel the need. Even if you, like those members of the family council who obeyed him, after coming to the three-dimensional universe, he would never let you go with the good deeds you did in the four-dimensional universe, especially those things that he would never forget. ”

Bei Yang sighed, and his expression became very depressed.

"It's a very valuable opportunity for you, and it's the only one."

"Isn't it to you?"

Beya smiled and said, "Of course, because you join, we can become stronger, and if we turn against you, we will definitely be finished, and Ali will definitely not be able to hold on alone, so we will all be finished." That's why I brought Chu Tianjiang here. We put everything on you, and we expressed enough sincerity, don't you think that's enough? ”

"You are indeed very sincere."

"So, you've made a decision?"

Bei Yang smiled reluctantly and said, "Before I can make a formal decision, there is one more problem that needs to be clarified. ”

"Something to do with the Akula?"

"It's about me, and it's about the Akula." Bei Yang paused slightly and said, "What do I get by cooperating with you, or by joining you?" ”

"A chance to beat Deria and take out Beka."

"Beya, don't you think, this answer is too wide? That's the basis of our collaboration, or rather the goal, not the benefits that I can get. ”

Beya smiled and said, "So, what do you want?" ”

"At least you have to have the same status as you and Ali, and if the status is determined by the amount of information provided, then it would be very appropriate."

"No problem, even according to what you said, the status is determined by the amount of information provided."

"Can you represent Ali?"

Bei Ya smiled and glanced at Chu Tianjiang.

Chu Tianjiang nodded slightly and said, "I can represent Ali." ”

"You?"

"Ali is not just my creator, it's my family. Of course, if you don't believe me, I can ask Ali directly about the basic individual consciousness left in my consciousness space, and she will give the same answer. Also, after you join, Arley is just one of three. ”

Chu Tianjiang said it very succinctly, but the meaning was very clear.

At this time, Chu Tianjiang also roughly figured out the relationship between Bei Ya and Bei Yang, although there were still some doubts, but Bei Ya did convince Bei Yang.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Beiyang to prescribe conditions.

Bei Yang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I believe in you." The next question is, what are you going to do with the Akula? ”

"That's an Akula thing with humans."

"I don't think so. I know that you have given up your arms to the Humans by handing over the Elamates, but I will not do that. ”

Bei Ya sighed secretly and looked towards Chu Tianjiang.

Obviously, on the issue of the relationship between creators, Bea can call the shots, and even live for Ali, but on the issue of the relationship between wisdom and civilization, she can't be the master.

Chu Tianjiang is also very big-headed, and he knows very well that Zhang Xiaogang will never give in.

The problem is that since Beyan has raised this issue, it shows that he will not budge either. If neither side is willing to budge, there can be no cooperation.

What to do?

It is important to know that the establishment of a cooperative relationship between creators is only the foundation, and the cooperative relationship between intelligent civilizations is the most critical thing.

At least, in the war with Deria, intelligent civilization was very large.

"Bei Yang, you just order directly." Beya broke the silence and said, "Put your request forward, we will discuss, we can't stop talking." ”

Bei Yang smiled reluctantly and said, "It's very simple, the Akula people and humans must at least be equal, not subordinate, let alone rule. If it must be a relationship of subordination and domination, it should also be the Akula who rule the humans, because the Akula are more powerful than humans. ”

"Obviously, it can't be." Chu Tianjiang replied very simply.

It's not that he doesn't want to negotiate with Bei Yang, but that Bei Yang's request is too much. To put it bluntly, even if Chu Tianjiang agreed to Bei Yang at this time, Zhang Xiaogang would never agree. When the time comes, the Akullas will certainly not be able to live in peace with humans, and war will be inevitable.

"So, there's just nothing to talk about?"

"Don't you think, Beiyang, that your request is a bit excessive?" Beya was also a little out of breath. Even if she doesn't care about the relationship between the two intelligent civilizations, after all, she has already handed over the Elam civilization, and it doesn't matter if it is humans or Akula people to take control. The problem is that Beyan obviously does not have much sincerity in making such a high request, and it does not help in the slightest to carry out cooperation.

"Then, I'll take a step back and just ask for equality."

Chu Tianjiang didn't say anything, Bei Yang did back down, but this was originally what he wanted to achieve, and the higher requirements he put forward before were nothing more than to leave room for retreat. What's more, such a result is also unacceptable to Zhang Xiaogang.

"If I can't even agree to this request, then this cooperation will not do me any good."

"Belle, do you still rely on the Akula?"

"Of course not."

"Then why do you insist on such a request?"

"Beya, I'm not you. I will not easily damage the intelligent civilization I have created. ”

"You ......"

"You have to learn from Ali about this. Perhaps, you don't have much affection for the Elamite, but I'm different, and I won't abandon them. ”

"Do you think I've abandoned the Elamite?"

"At least, you gave up on them."

"You ......"

"That's the most basic requirement." Beyang's attitude was extremely tough.

Beya let out a long breath, stabilized his emotions, and said, "Obviously, it is impossible for two powerful intelligent civilizations to sit on an equal footing, nor can they live in peace forever. Even if we agree, there will be a conflict between these two intelligent civilizations, and one day in the future, it will turn into war. There is no doubt that this is an outcome that we do not want to see, so why should we not find a way to eliminate this contradiction? ”

"Elimination?"

Beya nodded slightly, but didn't rush to speak.

"How to eliminate?"

"Quite simply, the status of these two intelligent civilizations is determined in a certain way, the strong gain dominance, and the weak must accept domination."

Bei Yang was slightly stunned, as if he didn't quite understand what Bei Ya meant.

"Obviously, it's good for you." Beya smiled at Bei Yang and said, "There is no doubt that the Akula surpass human civilization in terms of the number of individuals, the number of galaxies they control, and the number of resources they control, and they are much more powerful than human civilization. ”

"Beya, why do I think you've set a trap for me?"

"It's a trap, do you have the guts to jump in?"

Bei Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "What is the method you are talking about?" ”

"After we have eliminated the intelligent civilization created by Deria, the number of star systems controlled by humans and the Akula, or more precisely, the number of stars mastered, will determine which of the two intelligent civilizations is more powerful. Of course, if you don't think it's fair, the total mass of the stars you have in your hands can decide whether you win or lose. ”

"This ......"

"Of course, if you want to compare the number of individuals, you have to count those intelligent civilizations that are dependent on human beings, after all, the Akula people are also a fusion intelligent civilization."

Bei Yang frowned, seriously thinking about Beya's proposal.

"If you have a better proposal, we're willing to take it."

"Beya, it's really smart that you can come up with this idea right away." Bei Yang smiled reluctantly and said, "According to the method you said, after we destroy the intelligent civilization created by Deria, the outcome of the battle will determine the victory." Don't say that I bully human civilization, just the number of star systems mastered. ”

Beya nodded and looked towards Chu Tianjiang.

In any case, this is a matter of human civilization, and it is up to Chu Tianjiang to make the decision.

At this time, Chu Tianjiang had already considered this issue several times.

Beyan is not stupid, he did not choose the number of stars, nor the number of individuals, but the number of galaxies that seem to be more beneficial to human civilization, it is not that he is arrogant, it is not that he is confused, but this criterion is more favorable to the Akula.

The reason is simple, the Akula people are directly confronted with the intelligent civilization created by Deria. Because the prerequisite for the competition is to defeat the intelligent civilization created by Deria, as long as the Akula people obtain all the star systems of that intelligent civilization, they will be invincible.

On the contrary, human civilization needs to deal with more powerful and intelligent civilizations in order not to lose this competition.

Chu Tianjiang knew that it was almost impossible to win this competition.

The question is, is there any other way?

Besides, this is the method proposed by Beya, and Bea has no reason to harm human civilization, so Bea must have thought of a countermeasure before proposing this method.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianjiang didn't hesitate anymore and nodded in agreement.

He didn't have faith, but he believed in Beya.
