In the past six months, except for occasionally going with Ali to deal with those allied creators, Chu Tianjiang stayed at his home most of the time, that is, on the planet assigned to him by Zhang Xiaogang, with Clara and Nichol, and sometimes he would see Luo Jinyong and his wife.

Such days are actually very good.

If you don't take into account the intensifying war of intelligent civilizations, the urgent threats faced by human civilization, and those troublesome things, Chu Tianjiang hopes to live like this forever. Maybe when he's bored, he'll take Clara and Nichole to some strange galaxy.

It's just that such a good day will soon come to an end.

After receiving the news from Ali, Chu Tianjiang immediately rushed to the home planet of his second home. By the time he arrived, Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong had already arrived, and even Soya, who had been in charge of creating a smart civilization for Ali's sister, had rushed back, but they were missing.

"Lao Chu has arrived, let's start." Zhang Xiaogang spoke first, he glanced at Suoya, and said, "Let Suoya talk about the situation over there first." ”

Soya did not shirk and introduced the situation first.

After accepting the prize, Ali created a suitable ecosystem in a star system, and directly created many creatures and an intelligent species. It's just that Ali didn't directly lead the evolution of this intelligent species, but handed over these things to Soya.

From that time to now, almost 100,000 years have passed.

Although for any intelligent civilization, 100,000 years in the natural evolutionary stage is nothing, maybe not even tools have been made. It took almost 200,000 years for humans to make their first tools after they evolved their basic intelligence. However, with the secret guidance and assistance of Suoya, this intelligent species has developed very quickly, and it can already be called a smart civilization.

According to Soya's introduction, it will only take a few hundred years at most for this civilization to enter the industrial age.

Obviously, this is a watershed moment.

After entering the industrial age, as long as the intelligent civilization is not disturbed by external interference, it will go through the last few eras of the natural evolution stage at a very fast speed, and then begin to explore self-evolution. If you can get the guidance of the creator, the development will be faster.

In other words, if Ali is willing, he can let this intelligent civilization enter the stage of self-evolution at any time.

After Soya finished, everyone's eyes fell on Ali.

It's Ali's business, so it's up to her to decide.

Chu Tianjiang obviously felt that Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong's attitudes were not very good, and they obviously did not approve of Ali letting her sister come to this world at this time.

"Let's let this matter go a little longer." Arley broke the silence and said, "We still have a lot of work to do, and I don't have enough energy to deal with Billie's affairs right now. Besides, that intelligent civilization has not yet entered the industrial age, and it will take a lot of time after that to begin to explore self-evolution. At that point, it's not too late to think about Billie's affairs. Now, we have to deal with the matter at hand. ”

As soon as Ali said this, Chu Tianjiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the attitudes of Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong also improved significantly.

In fact, Chu Tianjiang also did not approve of Ali dealing with Billie's affairs at this time, because it meant that Ali would have to spend a lot of time and energy. In the new round of expansion wars that are about to begin, Ali's assistance will definitely be needed, and Ali is the most important player.

Of course, there is another question that Ali did not say and that everyone thought of.

That is, Billie herself is an uncertain factor, and her arrival will inevitably have some impact, which may change Ali's relationship with human civilization.

Obviously, this is also an outcome that no one wants to see.

Chu Tianjiang has enough reason to believe that Ali is also worried about this, that is, she also knows that after Billie, who is the opposite of her in all aspects, comes to this world, it will inevitably bring some unexpected results, and it will inevitably have an impact on her relationship with human civilization.

The point is that Ali's relationship with human civilization has gone wrong, at least her relationship with Zhang Xiaogang has gone wrong.

If there is another incident, the outcome will be very unpredictable.

"In that case, let's talk about our business." Zhang Xiaogang diverted the topic and said, "I have already counted that in the forty star systems that have not been fully conquered, there are about 14.8 billion Acadians. After our temporary offensive, these Arcadians did not launch a counterattack either. ”

"The Acadians don't like war." Chu Tianjiang said.

"That's not the point." Zhang Xiaogang glanced at Ali and said, "A wise civilization that doesn't like war does not necessarily mean that it will willingly act as a pawn of other intelligent civilizations, nor will it endure the rule of other intelligent civilizations, so this cannot decide anything." ”

After Zhang Xiaogang finished speaking, Ali said, "I have been to the Arcadia system, and asked those left oracles to bring news to the elders of the Arcadians. I was rewarded with the willingness of the Acadians to cooperate with us and to inspire our fellow citizens who are still fighting us. ”

"Inspiration?"

"The natives of Arcadia regard me as a true god and consider Valentine to be a demon, and their people are still under the control of the devil. The oracle said the same, and consulted with the elders, hoping that the natives would come forward to convince the other Arcadians. ”

"How sure are you?"

"It's not too big, but it's worth a try." Ali paused slightly, and then said, "After all, the Arcadians in the other star systems have seen the outer world, know what the universe is like, and know that we are not gods, but another intelligent civilization. Let their compatriots come forward, just to create opportunities for negotiations. If we are to end the war in a bloodless way, we have to work on other fronts. ”

"Anything else?"

Ali nodded and said, "The point is, those Arcadians know that the Dao is definitely not our opponent, and the result of their continued stubborn resistance is absolute destruction. They are still resisting, and they are not surrendering, not because they do not want to surrender, but because they lack a reason to surrender. ”

"Negotiation is the reason."

Ali smiled and said, "Negotiation is only an opportunity, not a reason. You know, that's more than 140 trillion Acadians, and they're spread across forty star systems, isolated from each other. Apparently, these Arcadians had elected a new leader and formed a new ruling order. Even if they are to surrender, the leaders who lead the negotiations will need to give an account to the others. ”

"The benefits that can be obtained after surrendering."

Ali let out a long sigh and said, "That's the real key. We have to come up with some conditions, some conditions that are acceptable to the Arcadians. ”

Chu Tianjiang looked at Zhang Xiaogang, if anyone objected, it was most likely Zhang Xiaogang.

"We can keep them alive, but they must revert to the natural evolutionary stage, just like the natives on Arcadia. Of course, we can give more benefits, such as allowing them to leave Arcadia, providing them with the tools to conduct space flights, allowing them to participate in the exploitation of resources, allowing them to go to the colonies under our control, and allowing them to gain their due social status. Of course, if they participate in social work, they can be paid equally. Zhang Xiaogang paused for a moment and said, "But there has to be a bottom line, they can't enter the self-evolution stage, and the skills required are provided by us." ”

"Isn't that too harsh?" Chu Tianjiang said.

Zhang Xiaogang smiled faintly and said, "If this is all harsh, then there is no way to talk about it." For the sake of the absolute security of human civilization, it is impossible for us to make more concessions. ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and glanced at Ali.

"I also think it's a very big concession. It's just that if we bring it up at once, the Arcadians may not be willing to accept it. ”

"We're not going to bring it up all at once." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "In the negotiations, according to the situation, it will be decided what kind of treatment will be given to the Arcadians. Of course, before the negotiations begin, give them a little favor, such as a promise to give them enough autonomy. ”

"That's all?"

Zhang Xiaogang glanced at Chu Tianjiang and said, "What are these Arcadians desperately resisting? Of course, before that, even if they surrendered, the result would not be better than dying in battle. It's just that they don't necessarily know this. They fought against us at all costs, just for autonomy and for the opportunity to continue to develop. We can give them that autonomy, but they can't grow. ”

"You can do that, as long as the Acadians agree to negotiate with us, their will will be shaken."

Seeing Ali's support for Zhang Xiaogang's proposal, Chu Tianjiang had nothing to say. Obviously, on this issue, Ali and Zhang Xiaogang have the same position.

"If you don't have any other opinions, just make a decision."

"There's one more question."

"What?" Zhang Xiaogang looked at Ali.

"Who's going to negotiate with the Acadians?"

Zhang Xiaogang was stunned for a moment and said, "Obviously, you can't go." You are the god of the Arcadians, and if you come forward, then your image will completely collapse. ”

Ali smiled and said, "You can't go either, you don't know the Arcadians well enough, and you may not leave the Acadians alive in the negotiations." ”

Zhang Xiaogang shook his head with a smile, but he didn't directly deny Ali's statement.

As a result, both of them turned their attention to Chu Tianjiang.

Since it was Chu Tianjiang who proposed to give those Arcadians a chance, it was obviously up to him to talk about it.
