In the face of this dilemma of mutual distrust, there are two ways to do it, the first is to keep consuming until the entire ring spacecraft has no energy. As long as there is no energy in the end, the Antek civilization will naturally make concessions.

However, the time required for this method is unknown, and according to common sense, the reserve energy of a spaceship is quite large, and it can last for a long time, years or decades.

"After all, it's nuclear fusion, dozens of tons of fuel can be used for a year, and it's consumed until it's wasteland." One of the experts sighed slightly. People don't know how much fuel is stored in it.

Second, one of the parties makes concessions first.

It is clear that, for the time being, no one is willing to sacrifice their safety and make concessions.

"Alas...... Let the lizards decide for themselves, after all, it has a relationship with their compatriots, and it is half an internal affair. After a while, Yu Yifeng frowned and said, giving up the entanglement in this regard.

Soon, the new humans passed the news to all the lizard people as it was, which directly caused a huge response!

The thought of having so many hostages, who have not yet been released, is an emotional riot of all the lizardmen, accusing the Antek civilization of its shameless behavior.

These two civilizations have long been on the same page, and this time it was as if a powder keg had been ignited, and they exploded with a "boom".

Within the indigenous lizard civilization, there are even some extremely hawkish voices: it seems to be worth exchanging 40 million lizard population for 1 million Antek civilization population! Shoot them straight and blow them up!

This is something that the new human civilization did not expect, and did not expect that some lizards would be so aggressive.

Of course, most of the lizards are still firmly opposed to this hawkish behavior, calling them keyboard warriors and saliva babies.

Among the 40 million hostages, there are their relatives and friends, and all their possessions! They worked the metal planet, not for their families and children, to be able to live in the ring-shaped spaceship, how could they just give up now?!

Three hours later, a massive lizardfolk meeting was officially held on the metal planet. Lizards representing different ideologies came together to discuss this important matter.

The upper echelons of these lizards have been divided into several different political groups, with different opinions from each other.

The first group is the lizard natives from the planet Nix, who came here with new humans, with a population of more than a million people. These populations and the lizards on the ring ship are all related to each other, and the opinions considered are of course more radical.

The second group is the liberated lizards from the metal planet, which make up the majority of the population. And these lizards, because of historical reasons, have several different political groups.

In order to facilitate rule and reduce rebellions, the Antek civilization once divided the lizards into ten industrial regions. Now that 300 years have passed in history, there is no way for these 10 political groups to merge directly.

"Each group represents the interests of a different class...... Because of the limited resources, it was full of competition in the past. There is also some hatred between each other......"

"Politics is very troublesome...... In the end, who is the boss and who has the final say, there is no consensus for a while. Xu Yunjin sighed.

Is it that simple for a civilization? Of course not. Necessary moments can be unanimous externally, but unnecessary moments, always full of internal chaos, this is the low civilization.

"History has inertia, and even if there is a major turning point, it is still very difficult to suddenly twist it into a ball."

Yu Yifeng also discovered a series of problems: "This also shows that the thinking form of the lizards is not out of the category of low-level civilizations. What a big deal, power and something like that, do you think about it like that? If the productive forces are developed in the future, hundreds of millions of times more developed, do we still need to strive for such indifferent interests? ”

“…… However, it would be better to split into several countries, just like the Red Flame Horn people......"

"We still have to build an incentive system for them to compete with each other dynamically."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of one thing, there is always a gap between the naturally born interstellar civilization and the deliberately cultivated subsidiary civilization. The Antek civilization may have been deliberately cultivated, so ...... It's so easy to surrender.

This innate social gap is a human factor that is difficult to make up.

In this way, the discussion and choice between the entire lizard leaders took a total of 18 hours, and they quarreled with each other several times.

Perhaps they also realized that this is actually a huge opportunity to chase power! Whoever solves this problem will win great fame, there is no doubt about it.

After a long discussion, it really made the lizard group think of a way that was not a solution......

"Replace the hostages!"

There are a large number of lizardmen, willing to use their lives to replace the 40 million people who have been kidnapped.

On the one hand, it's really because of personal factors, there's their friends, family, and children; On the other hand, for some politicians, if they take a personal risk and the plan succeeds, there is no doubt that they can gain great political prestige.

"The last population of the Antek civilization was only one million. We'll trade 1 million high-quality workers for 40 million hostages in the Ringship. As long as the other party agrees to this plan, we think that we can let them go first...... Allow them to go faster-than-light first! ”

This is the final plan presented by the lizards.

"Will the other party agree?" Yu Yifeng frowned and looked at it for a long time, secretly sighing at the series of changes that had taken place in the lizards in this war. Because of the encouragement of various heroes, the number of people who dare to sacrifice suddenly increases. This is a certain change in the spiritual level of civilization.

Whatever the reason, the lizards were able to assemble a million self-sacrificing warriors in just 18 hours, which is indeed very resilient.

"Maybe it's also the morale that comes after a big victory." He thought to himself.

"Since there is no better way, then use this plan to communicate with the Anteke civilization!" He nodded and said to the assistant beside him.

In the end, only 5% of the population of the Antek civilization remained, all of which were randomly selected. They really want to get out of here. Most of the military strength has been handed over, the arms can't twist the thighs, and staying in this place for one more second means more danger.

But if you want to replace 40 million with a million lizard population, the security for them is greatly reduced. Forty million lizard hostages are the last guarantee, and in the minds of this group of praying mantises, it is simply impossible to exchange lizards for their lives.

The whole negotiation was tough......

It was rejected at the beginning!

They even suggested that the lizards could be replaced with a small number of new humans, say 100,000 or 200,000 new humans...... That's fine.

But this plan was ruthlessly rejected by Yu Yifeng.

Just kidding!

It is true that a subordinate civilization belongs to a subordinate civilization and needs to be rescued, but it is impossible to risk the population of the new human race. In Yi Feng's mind, the main and secondary have always been very clear.

"It is absolutely impossible to exchange the population of the new human race for benefits."
