In a spacious living room, Fang Mingwei sat in a group. It wasn't until today that they visited the equipment of a boot camp in the Newman Empire that they finally experienced the strong shock caused by the gap between civilizations.

No wonder Wang Ziqiang chose to join the Newman Empire, and the reason is obvious.

The Earth Alliance is too weak, and in the eyes of such a fifth-level civilized country, the strength of the Earth Alliance is simply not worth it. Needless to say, dispatching a large-scale army, even if it was just a fifteenth-level spiritual quasi-master piloting a sub-main battleship, it would be enough to completely wipe out the Earth Alliance.

The huge difference in strength makes Wang Ziqiang have no choice at all, not only him, but even Fang Mingwei, except for becoming a citizen of the empire, there is no second way to go.

Schneider sighed deeply and asked, "Mingwei, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking, a fifth-level civilized country has such terrifying combat power, but what about the sixth and ninth levels? How powerful will they be? ”

Schneider smiled bitterly: "You are still thinking about the sixth and ninth level countries, I think a fifth level country, we can't deal with it." ”

Kino shook his head and let out a deep sigh, "After seeing the strength of others, I suddenly felt that the battle within the alliance, as well as the battle between our Costa family, is really funny and ridiculous. ”

Fang Mingwei and Schneider nodded at the same time, in the eyes of the Newman Empire, even if there is a big change in the Earth Alliance, they will not take a serious look at it.

To put it bluntly, there is no interest in the Earth Alliance. Indeed, no one would be interested in a country that would be completely wiped out by just sending a single ship.

With a casual wave of his hand, Fang Mingwei put aside the gloom in his heart and said, "Forget it, no matter what we think, let's do the current thing first." ”

Kino nodded slightly and said, "Yes, although I have decided that I must settle in the Newman Empire in the future, before I leave the Earth Alliance, I still have to get back those things that belong to me." ”

"Huh?" Fang Mingwei was surprised and asked, "You want to leave the Earth Alliance?" ”

"Yes, this visit had a great impact on me. I want to see if I can do anything for my country. ”

Fang Mingwei and Schneider looked at each other, unexpectedly knowing the true strength of the Newman Empire, Keno's mind had changed dramatically.

"Schneider, what about you?"

"I don't know." Schneider thought about it seriously and said, "This question will be talked about later." ”

"Okay, but there's one thing you have to tell me."

"What?"

"You told General Hanameido that I was going to participate in the Mecha Competition, what is that?"

"You said that, it's actually very simple, in our star field, there will be a mecha competition every ten years, and each country can send a hundred players over the age of twenty and under a hundred to participate. The top three countries will have extremely generous rewards. ”

Fang Mingwei frowned and said, "This is not fair. ”

"Why?"

"The civilization level of each country is different, and of course the mecha manufactured is also different, if someone is a mecha of a fifth-level country, and I use the White Crane, then even if someone stands still and asks me to fight, I can't beat it."

"Nonsense, how can there be a battle between a fifth-level national and a second-level national mecha player." Schneider said with a smile: "In the mecha competition, the competition is divided into national levels, and the opponents of the second-level countries are also second-level countries, so we can have a chance to win." ”

"Oh, what's the good of a winner?"

"Of course there is, and it's not small." Schneider said enviously: "If you win the first place, you can increase your country's civilization country level points by a thousand points." ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's not that easy anymore." Kino suddenly raised his head and said, "It is difficult to improve the level of civilization, if we in the Earth Alliance want to continue to improve the level, then we must obtain a large number of clear level points in a short period of time, and the thousand points of the mecha competition is our best chance." What's more......" He hesitated for a moment and said, "As long as our country's level points reach a certain standard, we can obtain relevant science and technology from high-level countries in an open and honest manner." ”

Fang Mingwei looked around, lowered his voice, and said, "You say, can we contact the Newman Empire privately and obtain technology directly from them?" ”

"I can't." Kino said categorically: "The technology of the Newman Empire is at the level of a fifth-level country, and it is far from being accessible to us. For example, the Green Pine-class spaceship, even if it is given to us, we can't ask for it. ”

"Can't you want it?" Fang Mingwei looked at him suspiciously, and asked in surprise: "You are crazy, you don't want such a good thing." ”

"Yes, you can't." Kino sighed and said, "This is a fifth-level national spaceship, even if you are lucky enough to get one, but there is only one, once there is any mechanical failure on the spaceship, this spaceship will be scrapped directly." Because no matter what kind of malfunction, it is not something that our Earth Alliance's scientific and technological strength can repair. ”

"It's a problem with the failure, but since this is a spaceship of a fifth-level civilization country, the failure rate is generally not too high."

In fact, there was still a word in Fang Mingwei's heart that had not been spoken, whether it was Ek, the Tianyi Clan, or Iverson, they all knew the structure of the battleship well, and with them, most of the failures were not a problem.

Keno smiled silently and said, "The failure rate shouldn't be high, but it's not that it won't happen." Especially in battle, it is inevitable that there will be damage, and once there are no spare parts at that time, the fate of the ship can be imagined. ”

"Okay, the ship can't be used, but the technology should work."

"It's hard." Keno continued to shake his head and said, "The subordinate country of the Newman Empire is not the only one of our Earth Alliance, in this vast star map, there are countless civilization countries of level 4 and below. If I were the ruler of the Hyatt empire, even if I couldn't do it completely fairly, at least I wouldn't be too biased in favor of one country. ”

Fang Mingwei was stunned for a moment, he had to agree with his statement, thought for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that it is best for our Earth Alliance to absorb the technology of third- and fourth-level countries now." ”

"Yes, but it's mainly the various technologies of the third-level countries, because only the technologies of the third-level countries can we learn from and study, and gradually turn them into our own." Keno's gaze turned around on the faces of the two of them, and said, "Once there is a fault line in civilization, it is basically wishful thinking to make up for the gap between them. ”

"That's not right." Schneider stabbed Fang Mingwei and said, "Didn't Mingwei research out the stealth device and the energy controller, these two technologies can only be mastered by fourth-level countries." ”

Keno's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Yes, I'm also very strange, Mingwei, how did you research it." The probability of overstepping research is not impossible, but it is small and almost negligible, but you actually threw out two technologies at once, and there is a specific manufacturing process, which is really ......" He shook his head, unable to think of how to describe it.

Fang Mingwei smirked, he could only attribute it to luck. Whether the two of them believe it or not, Fang Mingwei will never say anything about the soul. Even Schneider, who is as close as a brother, is not good.

"In every mecha competition, there will be a group of dazzling and outstanding mecha players, and these people will go to the Newman Empire to get free travel opportunities after the competition." There was a faint smile in Keno's words: "Actually, this competition was also initiated by the Newman Empire, but it was strange before, why they were so enthusiastic, and I didn't understand it until now." ”

Fang Mingwei's eyes lit up and asked, "Are you saying that these people who come to the Newman Empire will join the nationality of the empire?" ”

"It should be like this, the Newman Empire left a part and returned a part, and in this way, their country's army is getting stronger and stronger."

"Won't other countries rebel?"

"No, it won't." Kino said faintly: "Don't forget, the Newman Empire is a fifth-level peak country, and in this star map, no country can go against their will. Of course, they will also give some compensation. In fact, to be honest, this is also a mutually beneficial thing for both parties. ”

Schneider patted Fang Mingwei on the shoulder and said, "Mingwei, the last time he played for the alliance, it was Senior Brother Colin, he won the first place in the second-level country, you don't want to disappoint us this time." ”

Fang Mingwei glanced at him angrily and said, "It's not certain whether I can participate in this competition, you don't have to make a fuss." ”

"You can definitely participate, otherwise the teacher will not set a deadline for us to return."

Fang Mingwei counted his fingers and said, "Although the year has not yet arrived, we are too far away from the Earth Alliance now, should we rush back earlier." ”

"It's okay, anyway, this time we found the jump points and monsters of the meteorite group, which is enough to raise our mercenary level to the third level." Kino nodded and said, "Say goodbye to General Hua Mingtang, we should also go back, and we should prepare for it." ”

The three of them were talking, when suddenly the doorbell rang, and when they opened it, they saw that it was the leader of the fat man.
