Passing through the garden of the Mammoth Palace, bypassing the government hall on the west side, you can come to the teleportation station leading to the grand portal, Luo Ji took the staff and walked into the teleportation station, she was already planning to leave.

This visit was just a signal, and someone naturally explained the rest to her, Rogie stepped through the portal of the portal, but waited at the door for half a minute before raising her feet and walking towards the portal.

Sure enough, the moment she touched the portal, a shout came from behind her: "Your Highness Rogie! Your Highness Rocky! Wait a minute! The Queen wants to meet you! ”

Rogie's feet were retracted, and she turned her head and said with a very surprised look, "The queen wants to receive me?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you have to postpone the next arrangements, the queen has something very important to ask you!" Atul, the female diplomat, had an apologetic look on her face.

Rogie frowned slightly, but turned around and walked outside the teleportation station, saying, "Either way, it's my pleasure to meet the Queen. ”

Atul breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a smile, she thought, Lorge should be the best-tempered Asgardian, but if she had changed to an Aesir Protoss, she would have snorted coldly and walked away.

But on the way to the throne hall, Atul still tried to make up for it: "I'm really sorry, Your Royal Highness Rogie, the queen's summons is very urgent, and we have also been notified at the moment, maybe there is something important, maybe there is something important......"

Rogie nodded and didn't speak, but she knew that she was singing a duet with Thanos, and she had been waiting for the queen to summon her.

Rogie entered the throne hall and saw the queen standing in front of the throne, she touched her chest with one hand and curtled slightly, which is a relatively grand etiquette in Asgard, but it is still not the most solemn.

The queen of the Xia Empire and the god-king of Asgard are of the same rank, and Rogie is a foreign guest, so the etiquette can be lightened, although she doesn't have to kneel on one knee, but her bending of the knee is too small, which can be said to be a slight rudeness.

The queen noticed her movements, and sighed inwardly, knowing that such a private visit and suddenly calling someone for an audience would surely be a disadvantage, and that she would be at a disadvantage in the negotiation from the very beginning.

Now it only depends on whether Thanos's inference is correct, the queen thinks, in fact, she does not want to admit that an outsider is actually more sober than a staff member raised within the royal family.

But all monarchies have the same problem, the aristocracy has always looked only at their own interests, and has always tended to be conservative in matters of state, and the advice the queen can get from them is to reject everything and maintain the status quo.

But it is clear that the queen of the Xia Empire is more far-sighted than these nobles, and she knows that the struggle of the interstellar society is like a boat sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you continue to maintain the status quo, it will inevitably decline.

After adjusting her mentality, the queen took the lead in speaking: "Long time no see, Your Highness Rogie, is His Majesty Odin okay?" ”

"The Father of the Gods is very good, and I greet you on his behalf, Your Majesty."

After a brief greeting, no one was able to get any favors, and although Rocky was a little cold, it was also watertight, no offense, and the queen couldn't find any fault.

"I heard Poehler say that you know something about our dimensional cutting and transportation technology, and you think we're on the wrong track?" The Queen asked.

"This technology is a hot topic in the Xi'a Empire recently, but it's actually not a new technology, when I was young, I heard that the Xi'a Empire is researching this technology, as for the right and wrong of the road, at least in my opinion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve the defects of the big portal......"

The queen hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak up, and she began to pace in front of the throne, and said in a deep voice: "You are not here for nothing, and I will not summon you for greetings......"

"We are all aware of the plight of the Empire of Xia and Asgard, and I think that perhaps in some ways we have complementarities, and since you have come here, I will see this act as a signal to seek cooperation, and naturally I will also talk to you about the current situation of our two sides......"

Rogie's eyes paused, and I didn't intend to detour any further, but lowered my eyes and said, "Asgard is indeed facing some problems now, but compared to the plight of the Xia Empire, we are only experiencing some minor troubles......

The queen weighed it in her mind, and finally decided to use the answer given to her by Thanos, she said: "Asgard wants to give up the conquest of the universe and no longer use extreme violence to grab profits, but such a change will also make the subjects of the Nine Kingdoms panic." ”

"They are not sure that Asgard will be able to use diplomacy to acquire the same abundant resources as before, and they wonder if they will be able to thrive under such conditions...... You need to strengthen the hearts and minds of the people. ”

"And in the same way, when you enter the interstellar society, your label will no longer be Asgard, but the nine kingdoms, and the powerful side of the Protoss will be weakened, and people will pay more attention to the overall strength of civilization."

"But among the nine great powers, the gap between the upper and lower limits is too big, civilizations like humans, do not yet have the ability to colonize the stars, you want to make up for the shortcomings of this part, but you are suffering from the technology tree developed on the basis of divine power, and you can't use it for those races with weak flesh."

"Your spaceship doesn't have any life support system, almost no security measures, no disaster warning, everything is in the service of attack power, because the Protoss doesn't need this, you just need to open the boat, fire the cannon, and then jump into the gang, but the other races can't."

"You can't find a new technological route on the basis of physical weakness, there is neither time nor need, because you know that you are the other in the universe, and in addition, there are a lot of technologies suitable for these weak races."

"But you also know. This can be regarded as one of the few weaknesses of you, once discovered by militarities like the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire, they will definitely launch a technological blockade on this matter, which is why you came here as a private person to send a signal to us and reach a cooperation......"

The queen looked at Rogie, and Rogie's expression was very stiff, as if someone had pierced her mind.

The queen felt a little proud, she narrowed her eyes slightly, it seems that Thanos really deserves his name, and he has everything he expected.

But soon, Rogie's expression returned to normal, and she also sighed and said, "My Majesty's wisdom is really admirable, and we don't speak secretly, and this is indeed the case. ”

"Unfortunately, the predicament of the Xia Empire may not be easy to solve, your system determines that you cannot have the speed and execution of a militaristic state, and your technology is not inclined to war, but it is the richest of the three empires."

"The Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire have been using force and oppression to plunder resources from the See-Ian Empire, and their usual methods are to spread panic, provoke ethnic and regional contradictions, cause social and economic turmoil, and force industries to flee, which has been common for hundreds of years."

"In that case, let's open the skylight and say that the Xia Empire and Asgard should indeed cooperate, you have wealth and status and trade routes, and we have force, weapons and deterrence."

"More importantly, you have always been a commercial empire and have never provoked wars, we don't have to worry about foreign aggression after you solve the internal crisis, and our population is too small to be able to colonize the stars, and you don't have to worry about us re-entering the economy and society, developing into the fourth largest empire and squeezing your position."

"In that case, our cooperation is a match made in heaven, and it's time for the interstellar society to change its balance."

The queen stopped her and turned to look at Logie, who saw unspeakable ambition in the eyes of the young prince, who closed her eyes slightly, sighed, and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Your dimensional cutting and transportation technology is used as a deposit, and as a guarantee for me to return to the God King."

The queen frowned, Rogie's answer was beyond her expectations, she first showed a little surprise, but then hesitated, and said with a serious face:

"Now that we have been honest with each other, and I don't want to play tricks on this kind of issue and undermine the basis of our cooperation, I must explain to you that I can give this technology, but I am afraid it is far from what you expect."

"I know that cutting dimensions, not space, sounds very bluffing even in the interstellar science community, after all, dimensions can be said to be an independent world, and if you can have an independent dimension, then you can block all civilizations that do not have dimensional transition technology.

"But because of this, the difficulty of this technology is beyond anyone's imagination, and the Xia Empire has studied it for hundreds of years, and the final results are just an empty shell."

"What do you mean by that?"

The queen gave a somewhat embarrassed look, as if she felt a little ashamed to confess the matter to outsiders, but in the end, she said, "Cutting the dimension is the ultimate goal, and now we are far from that goal......"

"So far, we have only been able to cut a very small piece of dimension, but we have not been able to carry the entire dimension, and the cutting area is not much larger than those commonly broken dimensions at the edge of the universe, and the lack of dimensional structure will cause the fragments of the dimension that have been cut off to collapse quickly because they cannot support themselves......"

Rogie blinked, she understood what the queen meant, if as the queen said, this technology could only go so far, it was really just an empty shell.

Many people may think that it is good to cut off a small part, but in fact, there are many such dimensional fragments at the edge of the dark universe, all of which are left behind when the dimension collapses, and this kind of fragment has no effect at all, because it is incomplete, so it is very fragile.

No civilization will move its belongings to this dimension, because it may collapse at any time due to structural instability, and at that time, the property will definitely not be salvageable, and it would be good if people can come out alive.

"And what about transportation technology? Can the contents of the severed dimensional fragments be transported simultaneously? Rogie asked again.

This is possible, but it will only last for a short time, and the queen replied, "And if you don't take things out before the dimension collapses, everything will disappear with the fragments." ”

"So, have you tried to fill back the cut dimension?" Rogie asked another question.

The queen nodded and said: "We have tried anything about this technology, but if we want to fill it back, the conditions are very harsh, we can only put it in place, and we can't fill other holes, and there can be no external interference when we put it down, and the parameters of the universe must be completely consistent, otherwise there is a possibility of damage......"

Rogie nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll need this technology." ”

The queen raised an eyebrow in surprise, and Rockie shook her head and explained, "We don't need it to really do anything, the point is that we have achieved significant results through diplomacy, as long as the name is good." ”

The queen suddenly realized that indeed, if it was to stabilize the people's hearts, it was indeed necessary to make a good start with technology that sounded very powerful.

As for those technologies that can really come in handy, aren't there follow-up cooperation?

The queen nodded, and then began to discuss the specifics of the collaboration with Rogie.

Soon, Rogie walked out of the throne hall, and the moment he passed by Thanos who was entering the throne hall, the two exchanged a look, which was calm and undercurrent.

The curtain of the interstellar stage opened, and the treacherous dance of two wolves, one bright and one dark, had just played the first drumbeat.

Mutual protection of two wolves
