Chapter 168: Indigenous Civilization in the Space Age
When Fang Ning arrived, there were already many players who had heard the news gathered at the edge of this rift, and through the probe, there was indeed an indigenous civilization living in the area of the second and third layers below, which had developed to the beginning of the space age, had invented the atomic bomb, and the space launch vehicle had been able to rise to thousands of kilometers in space, which was equivalent to the scientific and technological level of the earth in the late twentieth century and the nineties.
What surprised and intrigued many players the most was that this indigenous civilization was also a humanoid civilization, and its appearance was seven or eight points similar to humans.
Fang Ning was also surprised, but his surprise was different from that of other players, but the appearance of this civilization species was exactly the same as the civilization of the prince who had asked Fang Ning for help not far from the area where the colonial administrative center was located, but one was still in the medieval era, and the other was in the early stage of the space age.
He guessed that the two civilizations should belong to the same origin, and it is likely that the indigenous descendants of the builders of this ring world in ancient times were plundered from other places, because they were located in different ring regions and could not communicate, and their experiences were different, resulting in these two different destinies.
Yes, fate.
If this galaxy has not been discovered, they may be able to continue to develop until they become an interstellar civilization, with the help of .......
Well, this one probably doesn't have one.
If Fang Ning hadn't come, this Ring World would still be the nest of the Aether Dragon, and this civilization would probably not have been able to develop.
At most, it is impossible to develop an interstellar civilization in the Ring World, and it is likely to become a deformed civilization all over the Ring World.
When the Fang Ning battleship came to this section, there were already a large number of players watching this rift, including a small organization that discovered this civilization, and a transport ship approached.
Fang Ning checked their information, belonging to the first batch of new players entering the territory, the real identity is a group of students who are about to graduate from their junior and senior years, there should be no problem with their identity, it is unlikely that they are the people who have infiltrated the capital.
For this kind of pure territorial people, the treatment given by Fang Ning is completely different from that of players who may be infiltrated by capital, if it is suspected that it is a player who has infiltrated by capital, Fang Ning will spend a little money at most, and according to the standard, this discovery can be rewarded with 100 million star yuan.
But for the group of young people in front of him, the total value is still 100 million star dollars, but it is not pure money, but it is replaced by other things that cannot be bought with money, such as the Lost Template Raptor frigate with a price of 10 million can be sold for five, and the price of a normal Raptor frigate is 3 million, as well as two ordinary transport ships, two standard 2,000-person battalion-level clone army, including a platoon of fifty lost army troops, and the rest is converted into about 40 million.
These are enough to pull up a large exploration team, and in the nascent territory, it is enough for them to dominate the world.
Young people are energetic and energetic, as long as they have a little brain, it is not a problem to mix up.
Speaking of this, Fang Ning had forgotten that he was also young, but now the level was different.
The beginning of the territory is the time to buy and motivate people, and there is no more reasonable way than this.
When this reward came down, more than a dozen student players on the spaceship were stunned, that is, they were ecstatic, and it didn't take long for a new shock post to appear on the forum, attracting a large number of players to watch, exciting discussions, coupled with the conscious guidance of the public relations department led by Yu Tong in the territory, which soon triggered a new round of new players to enter the tide.
Especially for players who are interested in taking the war route, this post is more useful than any perk, after all, for them, nothing is more attractive than a high-end battleship.
Of the three territories of the isolated star field, only the origin has a Raptor-class frigate, and the initial player only has a frigate, and the high-level battleship is definitely stronger under the same circumstances, which is very attractive to the war stream players, and this alone exceeds the N more benefits given by the other two major territories.
Of course, this can't see any effect for the time being, and after a while, after Fang Ning has given the reward, this newly discovered indigenous civilization has nothing to do with that group of players, and now it belongs to the lord's mansion to develop.
It's like when a player discovers a living planet in Palamon, whoever discovers it will belong to the Lord's Mansion, and only if the Lord's Mansion doesn't want it, such as the New Atlanta Planet, which is difficult to develop, the planet will be handed over to the player for development.
As long as everything found within the radius of the territory's influence radiates, it belongs to the lord.
There is no fixed number of the radiation range of this territory's influence, generally the stronger the territory, the greater the scope of influence, like Fang Ning's small territory, it is not under his control if it jumps out of the source galaxy wormhole four or five times, and if it is replaced by the Paramon Lord Country, even if it jumps out forty or fifty times, it will belong to him, not to mention the Galactic Empire, no matter where the core star fields are, no matter how many hyperspace jumps are owned.
In other words, there will be no new lords in the core sectors of the Galactic Empire, and the closest lords to the empire are also after the eighth sector.
Less than an hour after taking over the newly discovered civilization, five transport ships dedicated to the Lost Army appeared in the sky above this Ring of the World section under the protection of the fleet, waiting for Fang Ning's orders.
Unlike other indigenous civilizations, he wants to take down this indigenous civilization that has developed to the early stage of the space age, and this stage of civilization has already made initial contact with space, and has the highest ability to accept alien civilizations in space, making it a good vassal object.
Yes, considering that there are too few people in the territory now, Fang Ning is ready to accept a vassal and use it exclusively for hard work.
For example, the development of the world, workers in various factories, army cannon fodder, etc., all of which require manpower, and clones alone are not a solution.
The troops were assembled in place, and Fang Ning gave an order, and a formation consisting of one battle cruiser, twelve escort ships, and one hundred and twenty Raptor frigates sailed towards the rift in the world.
At this moment, something rose in the rift in the Ring World, Fang Ning looked over curiously, and a rocket with a length of about forty or fifty meters dragged a long tail flame from under the gap in the Ring World and slowly rose from under the gap in the Ring World, and rose over the huge gap into the space at the level of Fang Ning's battleship.
Fang Ning stood in front of the huge bridge, and could clearly see that this was a manned rocket, and the two aliens in full spacesuits were looking at the huge alien fleet in space in front of them with a look of horror.
There's also an alien who's screaming and sending signals to the ground, and it looks like it's the end of the world.
Fang Ning didn't give the order to attack, but just observed with interest, this scene was very similar to the appearance of humans in reality when they first discovered the alien fleet.
The rocket quickly crossed the fleet and continued to rise for more than ten kilometers or so, separating at a predetermined position in the void and detaching from other parts, leaving only a manned space station to stay in a predetermined position.
Unlike the Earth's space station, which stays in a planetary orbit, the Circumworld has no orbit and can only be fixed in the void.
This scene is very memorable, Fang Ning's heart moved, he recorded this paragraph, uploaded it to the forum, and then opened the communication, just now an extremely primitive signal came, it is estimated that it is from this indigenous civilization.
The light curtain flickered open, and a native wearing a gorgeous alien costume appeared in front of him, of course, the other party couldn't see Fang Ning.
The native spoke in a voice he didn't understand, and spoke in a deep voice, as if he were a diplomat or something.
Fang Ning pinched his chin and thought about it, and casually replied with a meaningless message.
Before the language collector does not collect enough samples, it is impossible for the translator to translate alien languages, and it is either that the alien civilization can translate as soon as they meet, or the alien has long observed the human civilization and collected enough information to translate it a long time ago.
Through the perspective of the god of the universe in the palm of his hand, Fang Ning's perspective instantly covered the entire civilization, and accurately found the indigenous person who had communicated with him just now, located in a certain building in a huge city under this ring world for the first time, and his status was very high.
Moreover, Fang Ning was surprised to find that the technology of this indigenous civilization had developed to the point of going into space, but the political system of its civilization was imperial, and its civilization leader was a tall and majestic old man holding a scepter who lived in a huge palace, and was convening all the ministers to have a heated discussion in the palace at this time.
Fang Ning consumed a small amount of contribution points to give himself the ability to understand the language, which was smaller than communicating with the Leviathan, and 0.1 points could last for a month.
Knowing the language, he immediately knew what the ministers of the palace were saying, and some of them said:
"Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity to communicate with alien civilizations, and the opposing fleet has stayed in space and has not launched an attack, according to experience, this means that there is room for communication, and a mission can be sent there."
This foreign language ability can translate any alien language into the way Fang Ning is used to, no matter how this minister speaks, the tone may be different, but the translation is just like that.
The ministers who agreed with it represented the pro-foreign ideology, and in addition to that, there were xenophobic currents, which were diametrically opposed to the previous ministers.
"Your Majesty, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, for the security of the empire, you must be prepared for war."
Another general, who represents the militaristic trend of thought, said:
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guard is ready to fight for the country at any time!"
There are no idealistic ministers in this civilization, and these are the ones who occupy the mainstream, pro-foreigners and xenophobic, as well as militarists, plus equality and materialist scientists, and their speeches Fang Ning only listened for a while, and then moved his gaze to other places, and the perspective of God penetrated everything, sweeping the territory of this entire civilization in a short time.
As an indigenous person who has developed technology to the space age, its territory does not have more than one layer, but covers seven entire blocks, each of which occupies most of the 100 floors from top to bottom.
In other words, this civilization's development of the world is dozens of times more than Fang Ning's, and he has not completely cleaned up and developed a single block now.
Imagine, three or four hundred twenty-thousand-kilometer-long, 10,000-kilometer-wide world level are the territory of this civilization, this is an area N times larger than the existing residential area of the United Nations on the earth, which is full of cities and dense crowds, and the specific number cannot be calculated, but a rough estimate is that one billion people in one block is not too much, even if there are three hundred blocks, it is a huge number of 300 billion.
Of course, we have to exclude that the population of remote blocks is not so large, but with the population of the core blocks far exceeding one billion, the final rough estimate is that the population of this civilization is about 280 billion to 330 billion.
That's an enormous number, the current population of the United Nations on Earth is at that number, but the usable land area is not more than one-fiftieth of that of this civilization.
With such a large population, it is good news for Fang Ning, which means that the available vassal population is large enough and the labor force is sufficient.
Retracting God's perspective, Fang Ning arranged a task for everyone in the special channel for the lord's internal high-level - how to quickly attack this civilization!
A direct attack is the best method, and the best is of course to surrender without a fight, and annex it in a gentle way.
A direct attack is fast, but when the time comes, there will definitely be rebels and guerrillas everywhere, and he doesn't have the time to send troops to suppress them every day.
The fleet stopped above this rift in the ring world without moving, which was a huge pressure on the indigenous civilizations in the ring world below, and the heated discussion lasted for several days, and finally the pro-foreign minister took the upper hand.
This is also the reason why Fang Ning didn't do it, under normal circumstances, no matter if any indigenous civilization encounters an alien like Fang Ning whose technology far surpasses itself in outer space, it does not launch an attack at the first time, unless the indigenous civilization is extremely xenophobic or the three major extinction regimes, the first choice is to try to communicate first.
It didn't take long for the other party to send a willingness to communicate through various means, especially when the other party made a huge model of a strange bird and slowly lifted it into the air somewhere not far from the capital.
This is the animal that represents peace in this civilization, which is equivalent to the dove of peace of the United Nations on Earth.
At this time, the fleet had collected enough information through the probe, translated the other party's language and basic civilization information, and formally formed a mission led by a newly summoned servant of light, including more than a dozen powerful genetic war group warriors, after taking the initiative to send a diplomatic application to the other party and responding, took an escort ship into the capital of this indigenous civilization and began an official diplomatic visit.
This was the first diplomacy at the beginning of the year, and there was definitely no need for Fang Ning to go in person, but considering the importance of this diplomacy, he led the fleet to stop over the world, and the army was also ready to land and show force at any time.
This is not just in case, but this time the negotiation will most likely show force, his goal is to vassal this civilization, under normal circumstances, no one will be reconciled, and when the time comes, it will definitely be necessary to show the force that makes the other party desperate.
It is also a show of force, and there is a huge difference between such a display and a direct display.
This time, the leader of the mission is an apostle of light who is good at diplomacy temporarily summoned by Fang Ning, mainly because there are no professional diplomatic talents in the territory, such talents are extremely rare among players, not to mention that this time he wants to vassal an alien civilization with a population of hundreds of billions through diplomatic negotiations, and ordinary diplomatic talents are simply not competent.
