Of course, Zhu Lei didn't tell the people of the Protoss civilization about the teleportation array on the spaceship that had been sent out, after all, the people of the Protoss civilization couldn't understand the equipment on it at all, and they couldn't use it, and telling them would increase the trouble.

After the behavior of both sides giving gifts, these people of the Protoss civilization were more polite and respectful to Zhu Lei, on the one hand, it came from the strength of the Ming Empire, and on the other hand, it came from the good impression of the Ming Empire.

In fact, what Zhu Lei didn't know was that in the past two months, the Protoss civilization had been monitoring the envoys of the Ming Empire, especially the force and technology of the Ming Empire, and even in addition to this, they still used their influence to investigate Zhu Lei and their fleet.

However, in fact, the results of their investigation did not get many clues, limited to some things after the Ming Empire set off from the Kalka civilization, and they couldn't get clues at all before, after all, there was no civilization at all in the journey from the Ming Empire to the Kaaika civilization, so naturally it was impossible to leave any clues.

However, there is one item in the intelligence that they attach great importance to, that is, the journey of the Ming Empire through the black market, without greeting the managers of the black market, directly passing by the black market, which shows that the Ming Empire is not afraid of these black forces that manage the black market, and even the civilization hidden behind them is not afraid.

You must know that although the Protoss civilization is also a fifth-level civilization, it doesn't look down on these black forces, but the necessary respect is still given to them, after all, the strength of these black forces themselves is already quite strong, plus the backstage of these black forces, this has to make the Protoss civilization feel jealous.

So even if it is a Protoss civilization, if you want to pass through the territory of the black forces, you must say hello first, after all, although you are not afraid of these black forces, it is also a trouble to really provoke them, not to mention that if the Protoss civilization really fights with the black forces, although the Protoss civilization has the absolute strength to destroy them, it will also have a lot of damage itself.

But the Ming Empire is different, they directly passed through the territory of the black forces, and even ignored them, there are generally two situations when such a situation occurs, the first situation is that the Ming Empire does not understand these black forces in the galaxy at all, so it will do so.

But it is obvious that Zhu Lei, as a fifth-level civilization or even a higher civilization, even if they don't often walk in the galaxy, they should know about these black forces, not to mention that according to their understanding, Zhu Lei and they have already obtained information about these black forces from the Kaaika civilization, so this condition is obviously not valid.

Then there is only one possibility left, that is, the strength of the Ming Empire is very strong, and they are not afraid of these black forces and the backstage of the black forces at all, so they will do this.

Therefore, this news made the Protoss civilization clearly realize the strength of the Ming Empire, not to mention that according to the information obtained by their affiliated civilizations before, the Ming Empire also contained very powerful power in these people itself, which had to make them pay attention to it.

Therefore, the two powerful civilizations in the next civilization and the Ming Empire naturally began formal talks to prepare for the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between the two civilizations.

Of course, since the two civilizations are both fifth-level civilizations, and both are already strong civilizations in the galaxy region, the direct interaction between the two civilizations is naturally based on equality.

Although there are many steps required for the two civilizations to formally establish diplomatic relations, this can be done slowly, after all, the Protoss civilization has recognized the strength of the Ming Empire, and the Protoss civilization also clearly perceives that the current situation in the galaxy is not very stable, and a war may break out at any time that will sweep the entire galaxy, which has led to the urgent need for the Protoss civilization to find a strong and reliable ally, and this Ming Empire, which has just appeared in the galaxy, is a good ally.

After all, since the Ming Empire had just stepped onto the big stage of the galaxy, and did not have a criss-crossing network of interests like other fifth-level civilizations, how could such a civilization not be pleased with the Protoss civilization.

Of course, this is also a very good start for the Ming Empire, although the Ming Empire has established diplomatic relations with the Kaaika civilization before, but the Kaaika civilization is an energy civilization, and the Ming Empire has no common language at all, so although the two civilizations have formally established diplomatic relations, the two sides will not have much intersection for a long time in the future, only limited to trade between the two sides.

But the Protoss civilization is different, the Protoss civilization is a stepping stone for the Ming Empire to step onto the galactic stage, and it is the first civilization to officially establish diplomatic relations on the galactic stage, so in the process of negotiation between the two sides, the Ming Empire gave the Protoss civilization a series of preferential policies.

Of course, the Protoss civilization will naturally not be worthy of the Ming Empire, and the Protoss civilization also carries many preferential policies of the Ming Empire.

After discussing all the details, the Ming Empire and the Protoss civilization jointly released a message of friendly diplomatic relations.

The Protoss civilization is an old civilization in the galaxy, and the area where the Protoss civilization is located is also a very prosperous area in the galaxy, so the news of the official establishment of diplomatic relations between the Protoss civilization and the Ming Empire soon spread throughout the galaxy.

For a while, the entire galaxy was lively, you must know that although the Protoss civilization is only a mid-level fifth-level civilization, their status in the galaxy is quite high, and the military strength of the Protoss civilization is also among the best in the galaxy.

What's more, their civilization occupies a very wealthy star field in the galaxy, and countless cosmic merchants come to trade with the Protoss civilization every day.

Therefore, the news of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Ming Empire and the Protoss civilization will quickly spread to all parts of the galaxy, so this matter is the most discussed in the entire galaxy.

Especially the Ming Empire, this civilization that everyone has never heard of, but to be able to formally establish diplomatic relations with the Protoss civilization, this civilization is obviously not simple, you must know that the Protoss civilization is a very proud civilization, and the galaxy has never heard of the Protoss civilization will interact with a civilization with a lower level of civilization than them, so that is to say, the civilization level of the Ming Empire will not be lower than level five at least, and the level five civilization is already a very powerful civilization in the galaxy, and it is already a galaxy hegemon.

But even such a civilization has never been heard of in the galaxy.

What's more, it is not a simple matter to become a fifth-level civilization, and it takes more than time and technology for a civilization to be promoted to a fifth-level civilization, even if there is enough time and technology without potential, it is impossible for a civilization to be promoted to a fifth-level civilization.

What's more, even if a civilization has enough potential, it is not a simple matter to advance to a level 5 civilization, and other level 5 or 6 civilizations in the galaxy will not allow it.
