The fate of humanity?"

Zhang Xin asked curiously: "Can you explain the reason carefully?" It sounds like the heroes of Zhenguo Gong and the Earth Federation seem to have endured humiliation and paid a lot for this?"

"Bear the burden? You're right, the loneliness of a hundred or even hundreds of years of interstellar voyage is unimaginable. I'm fine here, but with my wife by my side, the others are uncomfortable. As for the reason, it is the limitation of the Treaty of Akathos. ”

Alfonso looked at Zhang Xin with a smile: "This is also what I was about to tell you next." ”

"The Treaty of Akathos, in my memory, in the history of the Earth Federation, there has never been such a treaty, not in the dark ages. ”

Zhang Xin frowned slightly: "Since it is a treaty, it cannot be signed by a separate government and a state." There is no conflict between the Earth Federation and other interstellar civilizations. ”

"We, the Earth Federation, are indeed not signatories to the Treaty of Akathos, and we are not qualified to do so. ”

Alfonso continued: "Acasos, just transliteration, this is a planet about 19.2 million light-years away from our Earth Federation, about 530 million years ago, twenty-four cosmic races who have been fighting for many years, under the urging of an incomparably powerful force, signed a treaty here aimed at protecting all the nascent cosmic civilizations. This treaty, known to all the cosmic races, is the Treaty of Acassos. ”

Zhang Xin couldn't help but frown slightly: "Can you tell me the specific content?"

"It's about setting a critical line for civilization's technology, population, colonies, energy usage, etc. As long as this threshold is not exceeded, it is within the protection of the Treaty of Akathos. No Level 3 cosmic civilization recognized by the Akathos Treaty could inflict any form of attack on it. ”

Alfonso said as he picked up the tongs and flipped the roast meat in front of him: "But for us, the most important indicator is the total energy value of civilization. ”

"Total energy? What the hell is that?"

Zhang Xin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Is it energy or something? Look at how many nuclear power plants we have built?"

"No!" refers to the synthesis of the individual forces of civilization. Whether it is scientific and technological civilization or spiritual civilization, they will all go to the road of strengthening their own physical bodies, the former through gene editing, and the latter through spiritual refinement. And our Earth Federation is a very rare civilization with a dual evolutionary route of technology and spirituality, and as early as 30,000 years ago, it had reached a critical line. ”

"Is it because of those fourth-order existences?"

"That's right, almost every fourth order will occupy at least one-tenth of the total energy value set by the Akathos Treaty. It only took five fourth-order to allow the nascent Earth Federation to break through the boundaries of the Treaty of Akathos. Although our ancestors were not complete Fourth Order, their energy values were just as huge. ”

Alfonso poured another glass of red wine for Zhang Xin: "Fortunately, there are still some loopholes to exploit in this treaty." Sabia Interstellar, the overseeing organization of the Akathos Treaty, scans the entire universe every thousand cosmic days to determine the energy value rankings of the major civilizations. But this kind of scanning machine is not omnipotent, as long as we are the ones who hide in places that they can't scan during this period, we will not be counted in the total energy value of civilization. Unfortunately, there is no such place in the Earth Federation. ”

"The consequences of breaching the boundaries of the Akathos Treaty must be terrible?"

"This is nature, you can never imagine the strength of those top civilizations, let alone how cruel the struggle between the civilizations of the universe is. ”

Alfonso sighed, "I once visited a galaxy called Cadriga, which is the origin of the Cadriga people, which is also a cosmic civilization similar to our humans. But now this civilization has been removed from the Interstellar Council. More than half of the Arkers began with a war of conquest 19,000 years ago, and the rest were reduced to slavery. They are put in collars with various punishment functions, and they cannot live or die autonomously. The vast majority of them have to collect and produce a lot of resources for the suzerain, and they themselves live a life of hunger. The strong men of the Arks were imprisoned in the gladiatorial arena and engaged in all kinds of fights to please the people of the suzerain. And if their physiognomy conforms to the aesthetics of certain galactic races, they will have the honor of being sold into slavery and living in a foreign land. ”

"That's really scary!"

Zhang Xin thought of the Firmament, and in the Firmament World, there are not no similar examples. In the Central Plains and the North, fine, but in the South, after the demise of some sects, the people they sheltered were usually enslaved and brutalized by another sect.

"Among all the civilizations on earth, we humans on the earth have evolved quite well, and they have made great achievements in science and technology and spiritual cultivation. So I can also be sure that once we break through the Treaty of Akasos, there will be at least twenty or more conqueror civilizations that will take an interest in us. And the wise men of our human race have been thinking about it for a long time. For example, the Dark Ages, which dealt a blow to humanity, are well known. But in this world, few people know that it is a disaster deliberately caused by our human beings. ”

Alfonso admired the look of shock on Zhang Xin's face.

"It's incredible, isn't it, but we have enough proof. At that time, there were many high-level members of the United Council of Mankind who were involved in this matter, and they looked at the legacy of a multidimensional civilization and wanted to carry on its legacy. I believe that even if it fails, it will be good enough for humanity as a whole. In fact, as they expected, after experiencing this cosmic storm, the human race, which was already on the verge of the critical line at that time, fell to the bottom point before entering the interstellar age and had to start from scratch, but also avoided the next disaster. And within tens of millions of light years that this cosmic storm has affected, all cosmic civilizations have also been hit by varying degrees of severity. ”

Zhang Xin was indeed shocked, he was now learning the truth about the Quantum God Cult and the Dome Star World from another angle.

However, he quickly regained his thoughts and continued to ask, "What about the Longyue people and the Gaoting people, since the nascent cosmic civilization is protected by the Akathos Treaty, what is the matter with these two civilizations?"

"They are not signatories to the Treaty of Akathos, they are still nascent cosmic civilizations,"

Alfonso smiled bitterly: "Thirty thousand years have passed since the first establishment of the Federation, and today's human beings are once again approaching this critical line. And every time this time comes, something like this happens. Wars between powerful civilizations will make us passively involved. The Earth Federation has been promised by an interstellar alliance that it can join the ranks of the members of the interstellar alliance as long as it can establish a firm foothold in the Cox system. And the expeditionary force of the Gaoting people also came from this. ”

"I see, but I think the reason why the Earth Federation joined this war is also for the purpose of consuming energy values?"

Seeing that Alfonso was silent, Zhang Xin knew that he had guessed correctly, and then he laughed again: "Then next, will you let me leave the Earth Federation?"

He had just felt Alfonso's hostility, and it seemed to be getting stronger.

"That's what I mean!"

Alfonso raised his glass without hesitation and saluted Zhang Xin: "For the sake of the future of mankind, I would like to ask His Excellency Shenwei to stay away from the Federation in the near future!"
