Time advanced to a few Earth days later.

The headquarters of the Galactic Council is not actually called Togawa, it has a beautifully pronounced name derived from the Haydn language, and this name is terrifying, and it does not look like it can be summed up in the word "Togawa".

But the first diplomat and translator to arrive in Togawa was a loyal reader of the ancient science fiction master Asimov, so the name of the capital of the Galactic Empire created by Asimov was pronounced upside down in honor of this master.

Later, many human translators wanted to restore the correct translation, but the correct translation was too long, and the people who were accustomed to the two-character translation still used the name of Togawa after the official name was changed, and finally the official name had to be changed back to the original translation.

The surface of the planet is not covered with a metal shell like Asimov's galactic capital, but its land is no different from that covered with metal: the entire ground is covered by layers of buildings, and the real surface is not visible from the air except for the seaside and mountainous areas where cities are difficult to build.

The whole Tuochuan is a giant city, it is the diplomatic center of the galaxy, it is also the largest trade market of the galaxy, and it is also the largest scientific research exchange place and military exercise ground in the galaxy.

The status of Togawa is determined by the peculiarity of the star cluster in which it is located, which once had many giant stars, but now only a bunch of black holes and white holes remain. For civilizations that can join the Galactic Council, black holes and white holes are equivalent to "transportation arteries". There are even races that take the initiative to speed up the life process of supernovas and artificially create black holes in order to facilitate the trade of their territories. It's a pity that the black hole is not sure where it leads, and it is too normal to open in an empty space where there are not even stars for tens of thousands of light-years around. So gradually, everyone found that doing so was the same as touching the prize, which was too unreliable. This practice was abandoned.

Luckily, there are six black holes around Tokawa that can be used, and there are four black holes in the Milky Way corresponding to white holes that are 5,000 light-years away from Togawa. It's not surprising that this planet has become the center of the Milky Way - in fact, every terrestrial planet in its cluster has the hope of becoming the center of the Milky Way, but the Haydn people just happened to choose Togawa.

The choice of the Haydn people eventually gave rise to this huge city, where goods from all over the galaxy were collected and distributed, and even those "passing merchant ships" who did not need to stay in Tokawa and could go directly to the black hole from the white hole would often travel an extra few thousand light years to Tokawa to dock for a while, collect a little intelligence information and see if they could bring some goods that were easier to carry, and then continue their journey.

In addition, there were a considerable number of merchant ships that were responsible for delivering goods to Togawa. Shippers generally deliver goods and settle accounts here in Togawa, and then buy what they need and leave. It is obviously much safer to trade in Togawa than to go to various production areas to buy goods in person, so there are always timid merchants here who are waiting to eat the goods and then slap their butts and go home - if they only run the business in their hometown and Togawa, the safety is satisfactory.

With such purchasing merchants, it is natural that there will be more risk-taking merchants who go to various production areas to buy various things and then ship them to Togawa to sell.

If there are such merchants, there will be mercenaries.

When mercenaries are present, there are companies that provide all kinds of services to mercenaries, weapons dealers, ship manufacturers, biotechnology companies that provide body modification, and so on, and so on, and these companies in turn attract all kinds of people - such as pirates who want to exchange credits for combat power after earning a vote. Then it is of course dangerous for the pirates to come directly to buy things, after all, there are Oldwell people in the Galactic Council who must not be bribed with good and evil, and if the Oudewell magistrate finds the pirates, he will definitely issue an order for sanctions, and then there will definitely be warlike Tulles to carry out this order.

Therefore, the pirates were given false identities around Togawa so that they could enter Togawa's industry and flourish.

In a word. After tens of thousands of years of development, Togawa has become a symbol of the prosperity of the galaxy, and an astonishing number of merchant ships arrive at Togawa almost every minute. In Tokawa, you may even have the illusion that there are so many merchant ships in the galaxy that they are almost overwhelmed. But the truth is that most of the colonies in the galaxy may not be visited by a merchant ship until one Earth month.

At this time, it is in this prosperous Tuochuan. A secret meeting is underway.

The races in attendance belong to an organization that human diplomats call the "Galactic Whigs" and have little to do with the Whigs.

Those who participated in this conclave. There are only diplomats of the two races who are the core of the organization.

As one of the Ten Giants of the Galactic Council, Kasu is undoubtedly the leader of this informal organization. And the Tun clan, ranked eleventh and second only to the Big Ten, has no problem sitting in second place.

The chief diplomats of the two races met in this little house, completely cut off from communications, not just for tea.

"We still have some doubts about the veracity of this news." The Chief Diplomat of the Thun Clan said thoughtfully, "Although those aquatic creatures have a good reputation in the Galactic Council, we don't think that they don't lie. The fact that super-civilized artificial intelligence believes that humans are the descendants of super-civilization is too mysterious. ”

"But it makes sense, the nanomachines used by human agents are from supercivilizations, and you should know that."

"Can super-civilized artificial intelligence assume that humans are survivors for this reason? This is impossible, unless there is some resemblance to supercivilizations in other parts of the human race, except for the nanomachines on them, similar enough for the AI to determine that they are descendants. So, we believe that this news is fake news, that the Galactic Council has been established for so long, that the Big Ten and we have existed for much longer, and that the super-civilization must have completely disappeared. "In the language of the Tun people, there is no single word for themselves, only us, and the words used to address others clearly distinguish between individual and group. This can also reflect the characteristics of the Tun people.

"But what if it's true?" Jiasu's chief negotiator leaned forward, "That means that the other things in the supercivilization relics that have the ability to judge on their own will recognize humans as their own masters when they see them. However, our brains have also suggested that all humanoid races in the galaxy are actually super-civilized descendants. ”

"That's a cliché, and the Haydn don't like it."

"Of course they don't like it, it's because they don't like it that they built the Galactic Council into what it is now. Obviously, most of the races in the entire galaxy that are qualified to join the council are 'humanoid' creatures, but the big ten of the council are full of strange things, including balloons, planets, and guys like O'Dewell, plus the Hedons themselves, the four non-humanoids in the most vocal race in the Galactic Council, and the humanoid creatures still have six seats, but Elalah doesn't care at all, and abstains all day long, and the Turles vote how they fight, and there are only four races that will seriously consider voting again, and two of them are weird. ”

Chief Kasu sighed.

The "cliché" she refers to is a long-standing saying among the races in the Galactic Council who know about the existence of supercivilizations: the reason why most of the races in the entire galaxy are similar in shape, with only the details changing, is because there was once the only race that colonized the entire galaxy, and this race later perished, and only a small number of survivors survived on some planets, and they lost contact with other survivors, civilization and technology, and had to start all over again. So there are so many races in the galaxy that look similar but have completely different cultures.

As for the differences in details, it is just that the powerful galactic race has modified its body in order to adapt to different planets, and now various civilizations are doing similar things, such as the Tula, who have changed too much to create a new race that does not identify with the mother race.

There is no doubt that this civilization, which gave rise to most of the humanoid races in the galaxy, is the so-called supercivilization. The humanoids of the galaxy are the descendants of supercivilization.

Of course, this is only a hypothesis, and there is no evidence that this hypothesis is true, and the fact that most of the races in the galaxy are humanoid can also be explained by the theory of natural selection: the human form is indeed the most suitable form for the creation of civilization on "this planet", and the races that are not produced on terrestrial planets will never be humanoid - this is supported by a large amount of data.

Therefore, there are many humanoid races, just because there are many terrestrial planets, and the creatures on the terrestrial planets will be born after natural selection.

But there are also things that the theory of natural selection can't explain.

For example, why most humanoid races only have a pair of mammalian organs, and they are all in the upper front of the body, it stands to reason that the position of this thing does not affect the survival rate of evolution, and putting it down a little, such as on the stomach, does not make the species more vulnerable and eliminated by natural selection. In fact, a bag on the stomach to store the larvae, and moving the mammalian organs into the bag seems to help improve the survival rate of the larvae, but no humanoid race has evolved like this.

Crucially, the fact that these humanoid races, which are similar in the position and shape of their mammalian organs, have huge differences in genetic length, number of chromosomes, etc., which makes this problem even more inexplicable.

Equally inexplicable are the faces, the anatomy of the human races is similar, and the human races in the culture, with the exception of a few races, all convey their messages through facial changes - simply put, they all have expressions.

And there are many more of them.

It is for this reason that Ilarai is regarded as a symbol of beauty by most of the humanoid races in the galaxy - except for a few races, such as the Penry, who feel that the Ilarai are not green and unsightly.

Therefore, the so-called cliché has always had no shortage of supporters, and the Jiasu tribe, who are in the sixth seat of the Galactic Council, are staunch supporters of this theory.

In fact, most of the organizations known as the "Galactic Whigs" by human diplomats also support this cliché race, but on the surface no one says it.

After all, the boss of the Galactic Council is not in human form, and neither is the second in form - in fact, of the top four races in the Galactic Council, only the warlike Tul are in human form. (To be continued......)
