353 Is it a crisis, or.. Opportunity?
The Small Magellanic System.
The azure swirling hyperspace window suddenly bloomed in the darkness of space.
There are more than 3,000 of them, like a grand fireworks show.
And it's not far away.
On dozens of battleships on patrol, all the crews were stunned.
Sirens rang out in every corner of every battleship.
Immediately, a large number of soldiers ran wildly in the aisles of the ship, thinking about their combat posts.
"Commander, the entire fleet is ready for battle."
Nodding, Miao didn't speak, but continued to stare at the scene in the observation screen that he had never seen before.
He didn't know what these blue, swirling things were.
But his instincts told him that it was nothing good.
The next moment, there was a change in the picture.
And looking at this change, Al's eyes also shrank suddenly.
One warship after another, at this moment, is sailing out of those azure whirlpools, and there are more than three thousand of them.
The civilization where Al is located is a third-order extreme technological civilization.
And the third-order technological civilization is still in the era when the larger the battleship, the stronger it is.
Looking at this unknown warship that was comparable to the size of his own civilized battleship, a sense of powerlessness rose directly in his heart.
You know, there are only about 500 warships in the entire Kingdom of Kante.
And there were only four battleships, and even his own flagship, which was a cruiser.
After all, his fleet ...
It's just a patrol fleet in the metropolitan area.
Attack directly and repel this unknown intruder?
No kidding, think about it with your ass, it's impossible.
Not to mention his patrol fleet, even if the four main fleets of the kingdom come over, they have to kneel.
"Commander, we... What to do? ”
On the side, the adjutant's voice trembled a little.
It's really the fleet on the other side...
It's scary.
"Send a message to the other person asking where they belong and the purpose of the trip!"
After a moment's silence, Al said.
That's all he can do now...
Limit!
------
The Stellar.
Bridge.
"Commander, you have completed the scanning of the warships in the target fleet, judging from the technology of its warships, this should be a third-order technological civilization, but it seems that it has already entered the fourth-order with one foot."
"Oh? How so? ”
Hearing what Ouyang Qing, the scientific officer on the Xingchen, said, Jiang Xingchen was also a little interested.
You must know that those who can achieve a fourth-order technological civilization will hardly have a civilization with low potential.
After all, the lower the civilization potential, the slower the civilization progresses.
And in this universe like a dark forest, except for such a strange thing as the Federation, the general strong will not allow the weak to grow up.
Take the Milky Way, for example.
In the more than four hundred years of the Dark Age, it is not without a third-order civilization that has taken an advanced step.
It's just that if any third-order civilization takes this step, before they can officially start to advance, they will be destroyed by the four major civilizations.
Therefore, low potential means that it is slower to progress than other civilizations.
And if you progress slower than other civilizations, you will forever lose the opportunity to go further.
Unless...
You're lucky enough to go against the sky, it just so happens that other advanced civilizations are at war and don't have time to care about you, or the entire galaxy doesn't have a civilization with high potential, etc.
Contrary to other civilizations, the Federation prefers civilizations with high potential.
Rather than engaging in a bunch of subordinate civilizations that have no potential, can only squeeze resources from them, or force them to become cannon fodder.
The federal system is more focused on the cultivation of high-potential civilizations.
In the process of cultivation, its potential is deeply explored, so that it can truly become a help of the Federation in both science and technology and war.
Therefore, Jiang Xingchen was so interested after hearing Ouyang Qing's words.
"Commander, although the energy shield system has not been scanned from the target battleship, the use of energy in its weapon system has undoubtedly exceeded the scope of the third order."
"If these weapons are not procured from outside, then when they break through the energy shield technology, they will truly be promoted to a fourth-order technological civilization."
The battleship of the third-order technological civilization is like having no clothes in front of the monster of the fifth-order civilization of the Federation.
A scan that takes a look at the inside in minutes.
"Commander, the other side has sent us a message."
"Well, how do you say that?"
At this moment, Bai Zhi, the communications officer, also reported.
"The other party asked us about where we belong and the purpose of the trip."
"Nothing else?"
"No more!"
Was the second half of this directly swallowed?
[This is the territory of XXX, immediately inform you of your affiliation and purpose, otherwise we will use force]
Generally speaking, that's how it should be, right?
But, well...
If you were to change yourself, more than 30 warships would face more than 3,000 warships, and I am afraid that they would not have the courage to say the latter words.
How should it be rectified?
Well, there you have it!
Suddenly thinking of something, Jiang Xingchen snapped his fingers directly.
"Reply, this is a fifth-order technological civilization, the Star Sea Federation fleet, just arrived in your galaxy, and is looking for a place to rest."
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
"Yes, Commander!"
Nodding, Bai Zhi immediately sent a reply message.
At the same time, I silently mourned the people on the opposite fleet in my heart.
Fifth-Order Technological Civilization...
These six words alone are afraid that they can scare the other side enough.
In addition, his own commander said that he was looking for a place to rest.
Gee...
------
It's the same as Bai Zhi's guess.
After receiving this reply, Miao was in the bridge of the cruiser and directly fried the pot.
Fifth-Order Technological Civilization?
Surely this is not a joke?
In the entire galaxy, let alone a fifth-order technological civilization, even a fourth-order civilization has never heard of it.
"Commander, this fleet can't come from there, right?"
"No way, if it's from there, I wouldn't say that I first arrived in your galaxy, obviously, this is an alien galaxy civilization."
"Shhhh Extragalaxies, wouldn't that have to span at least more than 100,000 light-years, how to do it? ”
"How? Are you selectively ignoring the six words of fifth-order scientific and technological civilization? ”
Glaring at his adjutant, Miao said angrily.
"That's... So, what should we do, fight to the death for the honor of the kingdom? ”
"You guy, do you have in your head?"
Hearing this, Miao slapped the adjutant on the back of the head.
"In the face of a fifth-order technological civilization, what are you going to fight to the death?"
"Moreover, have you ever thought that it doesn't matter if we fight to the death, but after this battle, it may completely push the Kingdom of Kante to the abyss of destruction?"
"Immediately pass through the emergency line, inform the king of the situation, and at the same time order all the warships not to allow any excesses."
After reprimanding his adjutant, Miao ordered loudly.
Immediately, he muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
Powerful alien civilizations...
Is this a crisis for the kingdom, or...
Opportunity?
