Chapter 469: Re-Acquisition of Affiliated Civilizations
Compared with the other two civilizations, the situation of the ape-man civilization is much better, after all, as a pure technological civilization, first of all, the number of ape-man civilizations in terms of population is much more than that of the other two major civilizations, and secondly, the appearance of the ape-man race is actually not much different from humans, except for the difference between a hairy tail and a face behind humans, there is not much difference between the others and humans, which is not unacceptable for humans.
In fact, the ape-man race has also heard of the Ming Empire, after all, as a civilization close to the Black Bear Galaxy, their civilization still knows a lot about the Black Bear Galaxy, and they also pay attention to the news of some civilizations in the Black Bear Galaxy, and of course they should pay attention to the sudden appearance of the fifth-level civilization of the Ming Empire.
What's more, it is no secret what the people of the Ming Empire look like in the Black Bear Star Field, and although the Ming Empire has opened a foreign trade port near the Kara system, most of the time people from foreign civilizations come here to buy the products of the Ming Empire, but it does not mean that no one in the Ming Empire has gone out to trade with other civilizations.
In fact, after the Ming Empire occupied the Kara system, especially after the Ming Empire set up a foreign port, there have really been a lot of cosmic trade merchants over the years, although they are still not comparable with the government's trade fleet at all, but now the number of trade merchants in the entire Ming Empire is also very large, so even now in the Black Bear Star Domain, you can often see traces of the Ming Empire's spaceships.
After all, there is a very big difference between the spaceship of the Ming Empire and the civilization in the Black Bear Star Domain, as long as the spaceship of the Ming Empire is in the universe, it can be seen at a glance.
After all, the Ming Empire is now a fifth-level civilization, although there are still many fourth-level spaceships in use in the Ming Empire, or even lower-level spaceships, after all, the Ming Empire has only been a cosmic civilization for a short period of a few hundred years, and the service period of these spaceships is often hundreds or even thousands of years, so these spaceships are far from meeting the standard of retirement.
Even the original military factories of the Ming Empire could not keep up with the performance of these spaceships due to the improvement of civilization level, so they were decommissioned and sold to the civilian use, including even the original capital ships, and these spaceships can be equipped with warp engines as long as they are slightly modified, so most of these spaceships have flowed into the civilian population of the Ming Empire.
And these spaceships of the Ming Empire have been converted into armed merchant ships for space trade by civilian space trade merchants, although this is much less than pure merchant ships, but in terms of security, they are pure merchant ships that cannot be compared at all, after all, these space trade merchant ships modified from the original military spaceships not only have heavy armor, but even many of the weapons in them have been retained, even if they are in the fourth-level civilization, these spaceships are still very advanced, After all, the technology of the Ming Empire is not comparable to ordinary fourth-level civilizations even when it is at the fourth level.
Therefore, the ape-man civilization is very concerned about the Ming Empire, a fifth-level civilization that looks very similar to them, and as long as there is information related to the Ming Empire, they will understand it as soon as possible.
Therefore, unlike the other two civilizations, the ape-man civilization's understanding of the Ming Empire is not comparable to that of ordinary civilizations, so since the Ming Empire's spaceship came to their star field, the ape-man civilization has already known their end.
For the combat effectiveness of the Ming Empire, the ape-man civilization still has some understanding, after all, when the Ming Empire and the Kara civilization were at war, there were also many civilizations at that time who knew it clearly, although this information was difficult to be announced.
But for a civilization, especially a relatively powerful fourth-level civilization, as long as it can pay the price, it can still get this information.
Therefore, since the ape-man civilization knew what the human beings of the Ming Empire looked like, their civilization specially spent a huge price to buy all the information of the Ming Empire from the black bear civilization.
So they are still relatively clear about the combat effectiveness of the Ming Empire.
And before the alliance with the other two civilizations to fight against the Ming Empire, it was just that they still had unrealistic fantasies, as long as there was a chance, no one wanted to become a subsidiary civilization of other civilizations, and the ape civilization naturally did not want to.
However, now that it is clear that it is impossible, the ape-man civilization did not do anything to surrender directly to the Ming Empire after the arrival of the fleet of the Ming Empire, because according to the previous understanding, the garden civilization did not have any exclusion from becoming a vassal state of the Ming Empire.
After all, it is very normal for the jungle to eat the jungle in the universe, and their ape-man civilization is only a fourth-level civilization, and maybe one day it will become a sacrifice for other civilizations to conquer the universe.
And have the opportunity to become a subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire, this is actually the best ending for them, the Ming Empire not only looks very similar to them, but also the technology level is as high as level five, and it already belongs to the power of the pyramid tip in the entire galaxy, if it is not for an irresistible disaster, then it is basically impossible for other civilizations to conquer the Ming Empire.
After the ape-man civilization surrendered, the fleet of the Ming Empire immediately sent the information back to the Earth Headquarters, after all, it is not a trivial matter for the Ming Empire to accept a subsidiary civilization, so even if Chen Xin is the commander of this fleet, he is unable to decide such a thing, and he must pass the collective decision of the cabinet and the royal family of the Ming Empire before he can reply.
However, the attack on the ape-man race has also been temporarily stopped, because if the ape-man race has really become a subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire, then if it really attacks, it will be tantamount to weakening the power of the Ming Empire itself.
However, the Ming Empire's native Earth quickly replied, and agreed that the ape-man civilization would become a subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire.
It's just that although the headquarters of the Ming Empire agreed that the ape-man civilization should become a subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire, since the ape-man race is no longer the first subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire, it can only start from the lowest preparatory subordinate civilization.
To be able to become a subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire is already quite lucky for the ape-human race, you must know that in the Black Bear Star Domain, even if the Ming Empire did not attack them, there are many civilizations that want to become the rich civilization of the Ming Empire, but there is no way to enter.
And now the ape-man civilization not only fought with the Ming Empire, but even luckily became a subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire.
