Chapter 812: A Divided Civilization
Their first thought was that Amoeba was going to attack them, but they quickly dispelled this idea, because if the other party wanted to destroy them, they didn't need to talk nonsense with them, even if they killed them in a sneak attack of 'undeclared war', no one would blame Amoeba for his actions.
Therefore, the possibility that Amoeba wants to exterminate their Dali people is ruled out.
If it is not to destroy them, why is it?
Subsequently, the leaders of the three major forces thought that Amoeba wanted to subdue their Dali people, just as the other party directly told them, and accept them as vassals.
But this conclusion begs another question, what is the significance of taking the Dali people as vassals?
Thinking about it, the leaders of the three major forces can only think of the 'Great Destruction', Amoeba is fighting against the Great Destruction, and during this period, he is thinking about taking their Dali as vassals, no matter how he thinks about it, it feels like he wants them to get involved in this cosmic war.
The thought of being asked by Amoeba to intervene in an interstellar war of this magnitude made the leaders of the three major forces instantly feel a chill rush from the soles of their feet to their brains.
Falling into an ice cellar is no longer enough to describe their mood at the moment.
But can they refuse?
It is obviously not feasible, the fact that the recently destroyed planet Dalim, as well as the more than 100,000 capital ships of the destroyed Dalim, and the more than one billion Dali people who were buried, is like a nightmare whispering next to the auditory organs of the leaders of the three major forces in the Dali civilization - if you don't agree, you will die.
The Dalís can't afford to provoke the amoeba, and the Dalís can't afford to mess with the destruction of the amoeba either.
Destroy on both sides!
"You Amoebas want us Dali to be involved in the war between you and the Great Destruction?"
The leader of the Fellow Guild asked Amoeba with a little trembling, and looked at the collector on the other end of the video with a verifying gaze.
"No, you're not at that level."
The gatherer's answer made the leaders of the three major forces of the Dali civilization instantly relieved, and the big stone pressed in his heart fell to the ground.
There is no need for Amoeba to deceive them in this regard, because the other party has such a strong force that there is no need to cover up and schem, so it is just a waste of time and energy.
But the question arises again, since they are not allowed to participate in the contest between the Amoeba and the Great Destruction, what is the purpose of the Amoeba asking them to become vassals of the Dalits?
The three leaders can't understand that amoeba's choice must be in their interests, otherwise they wouldn't do it, but their Dali people's technology is very backward compared to amoeba, and the number is less than amoeba, and even the fragility of civilization is still very high, and the number of dead people is more, there will be a technological fault, which is far from being comparable with amoeba, and it can be said that all aspects are crushed by amoeba.
Such a Dali, why would Amoeba want to be taken as a vassal?
What does Amoeba want from their Dalís?
After thinking about it for a long time and not being able to come up with a result, the leader of the Javi Council simply gave up on himself and asked the gatherer directly.
"And why are you doing this?"
"It's just a vassal, there is not much reason, there are many civilizations like yours, and they choose to depend on us, so we give them the foundation for the survival of the entire civilization." The collector explained.
Subsequently, the Gatherer sent a radio message to the leaders of the three major forces about the other vassal civilizations, and for the first time, the leaders of the three major forces of the Dalic civilization witnessed other aliens besides the Gatherers.
One of the three leaders who focus on information is focused on the information that the gatherers pass on to their other vassal civilizations, while the other is focused on the gatherers' replies.
They noted a passage in the collector's reply, 'the basis of life'.
The basis for survival? Meaning to survive the blow of destruction? Or does it mean not to be destroyed by amoeba? Or will it no longer be affected by the interstellar rivalry between the two?
"What is the basis of life?"
The leader of the Kote Chamber of Commerce asked questions that were of great concern to the three of them.
The Gatherer replied, "It would be very safe for your people to live on a planet faster than the speed of light. ”
"We will choose to build planetary-level faster-than-light engines on the vassal's planet, so that they can avoid all dangers faster-than-light and will no longer be destroyed by our struggle with the Great Destruction."
The hearts of the three leaders were instantly stormed by the answers of the gatherers, and what the gatherers said was not what they were longing for.
The first need of civilization is to survive! Existence is everything!
Now the gatherers threw out this opportunity, which was enough to shake the hearts of the three leaders.
Around the same time, two of the three leaders of the Dalic civilization sent a request to the Gatherers to lead that part of the force to join the amoeba.
"We, the Council of Javi, are willing to become vassals!"
"We, the Fellow Guild, are willing!"
The collector, who thought that he would get a response from the three parties, looked at the Kote Chamber of Commerce with some surprise.
"What about you? Cotter Chamber of Commerce. ”
The Cotter Chamber of Commerce has maintained a relatively friendly relationship with the Collectors since they entered this star system, so it has not been studied by the Collectors like the leaders of the Council of Javi and the Fellow Guild.
The actions of the leaders of the Kotte Chamber of Commerce were not within the prediction of the Gatherer's plan, and according to the Gatherer's thoughts, the Kotte Chamber of Commerce should be the first to agree, after all, they are very knowledgeable about current affairs.
However, the situation is somewhat unexpected.
The leader of the Kot Chamber of Commerce asked the gatherer with some hesitation, "I want to know, do you amoebas still plan to continue to fulfill the trade agreement?" ”
The gatherer thought for a moment, and although it didn't understand what the Kot Chamber of Commerce was planning, it answered truthfully.
"Of course it will continue to be fulfilled, and if you choose to be vassal, we will disassemble the soon-to-be completed tachyon engine into part of a planetary-class tachyon engine, and the progress will be accelerated."
"If you refuse, you'll be given engines that can allow your single capital ship to move faster than light."
Two choices were placed in front of the leader of the Kote Chamber of Commerce, and he had to make a choice.
On the one hand, it is to give up political dominance and become a vassal of another civilization, in exchange for the survival of the majority, but it is likely to be suppressed for technological development and become the slave of others forever.
On the other hand, it is a sample of the faster-than-light engine, although it is impossible to immediately decipher the faster-than-light technology because there is no theoretical basis, but as long as there is enough time, their Dali people will also become a civilization that can exceed the speed of light, and it will not be suppressed by another civilization and grow up, a powerful and independent interstellar civilization.
A flame called 'Ambition' ignited in the heart of the leader of the Kot Chamber of Commerce, and the leader of the Dalim Fleet Coalition had crossed his mind with him not long ago.
The other party said a sentence that the leader of the Kot Chamber of Commerce remembered vividly - the progress of civilization comes with sacrifices and risks, and if no one is willing to do it, the Dali people will not have a tomorrow.
Taking a deep breath, the leader of the Cotter Chamber of Commerce cautiously asked the gatherer.
"What if...... If I refuse, will you hurt us? ”
"No, why would we do that?" The gatherer asked rhetorically.
The gatherer's answer caused the leader of the Kort Chamber of Commerce to breathe a long sigh of relief, and by the time he asked the question, he was ready to be killed.
Now it seems that he was right, amoeba is not hostile to the Dalis who do not obey them.
"Then our Cotter Chamber of Commerce chooses to refuse, the value of freedom is more precious than life."
After a conversation, the division of civilization was decided, and the Kot Chamber of Commerce chose to stay, while the other two major forces were transported to the home planet of the Dali by the storage giant structure, Javi, and formed a planetary gravitational ring there.
