Inside the Ouranos, Lin Fan looked at Meng Fei, the leader of the expert group, a little strangely.

A battleship built entirely on the basis of steam technology? Are you sure you're not kidding?

Looking at Lin Fan's expression, Meng Fei sighed.

"To be honest, even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it, but our scan results are not deceiving, although there are many parts of the power core of its battleship that I can't understand, but it is indeed a huge steam engine system, a steam engine that has developed to the extreme."

Meng Fei said with a sigh on his face.

To tell the truth, this is really too subversive of the three views, but it is understandable after thinking deeper.

After all, after entering the steam revolution at that time, mankind turned to the electric revolution, and did not continue on the road of steam.

But the civilization in front of him is obviously going all the way to the dark on the way to steam, and in terms of technology in this aspect alone, the Aug Empire is much more advanced than the Human Federation.

"Commander Lin Fan, we even scanned their weapon structure and ammunition structure, can you imagine that their naval guns actually use steam power to project projectiles? Can you imagine that its ammunition is a steam projectile that has been compressed to the extreme, once it is hit, after the steam in the bomb bay that is compressed to the extreme explodes, I am afraid that the power will not be weaker than that of ordinary third-level civilizations? ”

"This is really an interesting civilization, and I'm very interested in visiting their planet now!"

Listening to Meng Fei's words, Lin Fan was completely aroused, and then said with a smile.

Lin Fan quite agreed with what Meng Fei said just now at this moment.

Don't think that the path taken by mankind is the only way, and don't think that the understanding of science and technology is the only correct view of science and technology.

As the so-called roads lead to Rome, when human beings see more and more civilizations, they will find that many things that human beings thought were impossible will become possible.

This is so interesting, it is very similar to the steampunk worldview in some of the movies and television works he watched in his previous life, and I think this journey will be quite interesting.

Although Lin Fan was in high spirits now, the tragedy was that the speed of the spaceship led by the other party was too slow!

The navigator in the bridge told Lin Fan that at this rate, it would take 1 day to reach Auger, but out of politeness, Lin Fan had no choice but to let the fleet follow the patrol ship slowly.

Finally, a day later, the guard fleet came into orbit with the patrol boats.

Here, Lin Fan simply opened his eyes, and what he saw in front of him was completely a steampunk civilization in the interstellar era, not to mention its technology, the starport in orbit and the various spaceships around it were full of steampunk style.

At this time, a spaceship with an obvious sense of majesty approached, and at the same time, Lin Fan also received a communication from the other party.

This is the exclusive ship of the Auger royal family, and to put it more bluntly, it is the car of Emperor Augulas.

At this time, Agoulas was looking through the porthole at the huge fleet not far away, and each of its ships was several times the size of his own car, which was simply too scary.

Such a civilization must not be offended, Auguras could not help but think in his heart.

Lin Fan took the two women, more than 20 representatives of the expert group, and dozens of commandos, and took the shuttle ship to Augulas's car.

A few minutes later, when the crowd boarded Ogholas's car, Ogholas himself was greeted at the hatch with several ministers.

"Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, I am Oguras, Emperor of the Aug Empire, and welcome to the Aug Empire!"

Ogholas behaved very respectfully.

Lin Fan didn't rush to talk, after all, this was not his responsibility, he just brought the two girls down to play.

As for the assessment and negotiation of the Auger Empire, all the work is in charge of the expert group.

Soon, someone in the expert group picked up Augulas's words, and did not put out the spectrum of advanced civilization.

The first conversation between the two sides can be said to be relatively pleasant.

Speaking of which, the Og people are a bit like the dwarves in some of Lin Fan's previous works, they are also humanoid, but their height is generally between 1.2 and 1.5 meters, and their facial features are slightly similar to those of humans, except that they have hair all over their bodies, including their faces.

Of course, in the conversation with Augulas, the negotiator also introduced Lin Fan.

When Ogulas learned that Lin Fan was the leader of a human legion, and the fleet in front of him was only one of the many fleets under the legion, his gaze at Lin Fan became even more respectful.

Especially when he learned that Lin Fan and the three of them did not participate in the talks, but only came to play in Ogstar, Augulas immediately patted his chest and said that after going down, he would arrange special guards and tour guides for Lin Fan, and all Lin Fan's expenses would be borne by the royal family.

Lin Fan just smiled, this is fine, otherwise the three of them will go shopping by themselves, on the one hand, they are not familiar with the place, and on the other hand, they have no money to buy anything, right?

After all, people don't know federal coins, so they don't necessarily have to rob them!

More than half an hour later, the spacecraft began to parachute towards the surface of the planet.

I have to say that the technology of the Auger Empire is still something, after all, a spaceship of this scale, if you want to directly land on the planet, it is something that most second-level civilizations can't do, and even some of the primary third-level civilizations can't do it.

After arriving at the ground, Augulas immediately arranged a tour guide and a team of royal guards for Lin Fan, and soon Lin Fan left with the two daughters, after all, it was a matter of the expert group and had nothing to do with Lin Fan.

And this play was a whole week, until Lin Fan received the notice of the expert group, and then returned to the palace of the Augur Empire with the two women.

When Lin Fan and the three returned to the palace, they learned about the results from Meng Fei.

First of all, after the evaluation conducted by the expert group, the potential score of the Auger civilization reached 7.2 points, which met the basic requirements for the Federation to recruit affiliated civilizations.

The so-called potential score is a potential evaluation method formulated by many experts of the Federation, through the comprehensive evaluation of more than 100 items such as the historical process of a civilization, the scientific and technological route, the civilization system, the proportion of the population of each occupation, etc., the score is 10 points, and the minimum requirement line for the federation to recruit affiliated civilizations is 7 points.

Therefore, the expert group also extended an invitation to the Auger Empire to join the federation's affiliated civilizations.

Of course, when Agoulas heard this invitation at first, his face was not very good-looking, he knew what the subsidiary civilization was, and becoming a subsidiary civilization meant being constantly squeezed by the main civilization, which was basically equivalent to cutting off the development potential of his own civilization.

However, when Augulas looked at the Affiliated Civilization Agreement of the Human Federation, he was stunned.

Are you kidding me? Tell me it's a subordinate civilization?
