An hour later.

A small conference room on the Etoile.

Jiang Xingchen was looking at the queen of the Kante people in front of him who had been pushed to the throne by Luo Gang.

How to say it...

If it's just the author, and you can only see the upper body through the conference table...

Judging by human standards, she is indeed a beauty, and even some of it is like a two-dimensional style.

However, if the table is opened, Jiang Xingchen said that he really can't accept that pair of long legs.

Is this a long-legged clan?

I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

"Queen, I heard that you have an urgent matter with me, I don't know what the matter is?"

After coming back to his senses, Jiang Xingchen also cut directly to the topic.

On the other side, Lan nodded, and quickly pulled out a small device.

Jiang Xingchen was not nervous about this behavior.

As she approached the Stellar, the fleet had conducted a full-body scan of her without her knowledge, and determined that it was not carrying any dangerous items.

What Lan took out was a virtual projection device from the Kingdom of Kante.

After a slight touch, a star map was already displayed in the conference room.

Jiang Xingchen is no stranger to this star map, because this is the star map of the Small Magellanic Galaxy provided by the Conte Kingdom before.

About 60 percent of them are home to nearly 800 million stars.

And the remaining forty percent of the places are nothing.

If it weren't for Ouyang Qing's speculation just now, Jiang Xingchen would still think that these places were areas that had not yet been explored by the Kangte Kingdom.

But now...

"Commander Jiang, this is the star map that our Kangte Kingdom currently holds."

"Public..."

Looking at the star map, Lan explained.

Subsequently, three more words were added.

Public...

It seems that Ouyang Qing's speculation is indeed correct, and the Kangte Kingdom knows some of the situations in that area.

"So, what about the non-public ones?"

"Non-public..."

The next moment, the star map changed.

In that area, where there was originally nothing, a large number of stars appeared, and the density was even higher than elsewhere, much higher.

"Your Majesty, can you explain?"

"Naturally, but before that, I hope the Federation can grant some requests from our kingdom, after all, our kingdom will probably not be able to afford the consequences of disclosing this part of the content."

"Interesting, tell me about it?"

Nodding, Jiang Xingchen said.

"In fact, in the Magellanic Galaxy, except for one civilization, the information of the rest of the civilizations is already available in the information we gave."

"And the rest of the civilization exists in this non-public area, and it is also the most mysterious civilization in the entire galaxy."

"The name of this civilization is... Marsar Empire. ”

The Marsar Empire?

Why is the name so familiar?

Wait, this isn't the one in the Big Magellanic galaxy...

Jiang Xingchen frowned slightly.

The Marsar Empire, originally a fourth-order technological civilization in the Big Magellanic Galaxy.

Creator of nanomechanical life.

It is also an indirect creator of ghosts.

Why indirect, because the actual creator of the ghost, that is, Stanley Benat, was born in the Marsar Empire.

After being exiled for breaking taboos, the Wraiths were created.

At the same time, the end of the Marsar Empire is also something that the Federation has not yet figured out.

According to Stanley's brain records, after the Marsars created nanomechanical life, they once defeated the ghosts without fighting back.

Even recovering all areas outside of Alekta.

Seeing it, it is necessary to completely eradicate the ghost clan.

But just as the soldiers were in the city, ready to deliver the final blow to Stanley.

The entire Marsar Empire was gone.

Not only people, but even traces of their civilization have all disappeared.

And nanomechanical life received the last order from the Marsars.

All of them returned to the Diami Star Field, and strictly followed the three core commands.

Everything is a mystery.

However, now Jiang Xingchen heard the name again from Lan's mouth.

Immediately, his expression became much more serious.

It was a civilization that had already reached the peak of the Fourth Order 10,000 years ago, and had even begun to charge towards the Fifth Order.

This is no joke.

"Your Majesty, how much do you know about this Marsar Empire?"

"I don't know much, but since the recorded interstellar history of our kingdom, this Marsar Empire has existed, at least dating back to 3,000 years ago."

Shaking his head, Lan said.

"Commander Jiang, although we don't know much, we do know something, and we also have some things that may be of great help to the Federation, so, what I just said..."

"What do you want?"

"We want to complete the demolition as soon as possible, leave this system as soon as possible, and at the same time, the key items provided to the Federation in the future can be exchanged for a part of the points according to their value to the Federation."

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, Jiang Xingchen nodded directly in agreement.

What Lan was worried about, he could roughly guess.

After all, even if something goes wrong, the Federation can walk away, but they can't.

This is human nature, and it is not an excessive request.

"Give us everything you know about the Marsar Empire, and I can call the shots and let the Federation itself immediately begin your demolition work."

"At the same time, the key items you mentioned, we will also give enough points to the affiliated civilizations according to their value."

Hearing this, Lan was also overjoyed in his heart.

That's enough!

"So, I'll tell you all the information our kingdom knows..."

With a minute of information, a minute and even a very old image, coupled with Lan's continuous explanation.

It took a full half an hour before it was finally over.

And after hearing this, Jiang Xingchen's expression was also much more solemn.

"So, what about the key items you just mentioned?"

"Actually... Our kingdom has secretly preserved a warship damaged by the Marsar Empire, although it has been hundreds of years, the scientists of our kingdom still have not been able to understand the technology used on it. ”

As he spoke, under Lan's control, a battleship was also projected.

It was a silvery-white double-prismatic battleship, and every cut of its exterior was extremely smooth, like a work of art.

However, the data in the footage shows that the battleship is not large.

It's only 300 meters long.

However, Jiang Xingchen would not underestimate this battleship because of its small size.

Since he heard about space storage technology in Shen Yuhao's mouth, he has thought about it.

Does the birth of this technology represent the future development direction of warships and will be a trend of miniaturization?

After all, with this technology, it is no longer necessary to build a battleship very large in order to accommodate those large equipment.

Therefore, below the fourth-order civilization, the bigger the battleship, the stronger it is.

And above the fourth-order civilization, to a large extent, is...

The smaller the battleship, the stronger!

After all, the smaller the warship, the more a civilization makes use of space technology.

"Very good, hand over this battleship to us, and the Federation will reward the Kingdom of Cont with a large number of points."

"This... Commander Jiang, if you can, can you exchange these points for more star systems after the demolition? ”

"Huh? You don't want points, you want galaxies? ”

"Yes, to tell you the truth, after getting the points, we are also going to use the half-price opportunity to acquire more star systems in this demolition, if we can..."

"How about ten times the compensation for you according to the star system?"

"It's... It's true? ”

Originally, Lan was just casually asking.

Let's see if you can get more than if you want a star system directly than if you get points and exchange them for half price.

Didn't get much hopeful.

As a result, as soon as Jiang Xingchen opened his mouth, it was ten times larger.

Nine star systems become ninety star systems.

Is this really not a joke?

Little did he know, however, that perhaps all of the affiliated civilizations thought it would be more cost-effective to exchange all the points for the star system when demolishing.

But for the Federation, the star system is the least valuable.

After a wave of satellite galaxies expands, the Federation will have twelve satellite galaxies in its hands.

In addition to the large Magellanic galaxy currently occupied by the Federation, and the Urfuus dwarf galaxy, which is the headquarters of the Pioneer Fleet, there are ten more galaxies.

What is the population of humanity today?

That's about less than 800 billion!

To put it mildly, this population is not enough to fully exploit the galaxy.

On this point, calculations were made within the Federation.

To fully exploit the galaxy, at least twenty trillion people are needed.

So, the Confederation in a few decades...

There is simply no manpower to develop so many galaxies.

So what to do?

It's very simple, if you don't have the manpower to develop it, then let the subsidiary civilization develop it.

What the Federation has to do is to "reasonably" and "legally" intercept a large part of the results of their development from the affiliated civilizations.

As for the galaxies.

In the eyes of the Federation, this thing is the least valuable.

In the case of the Small Magellanic Galaxy, there are no less than 10 million star systems.

Well, 90 star systems...

Would it feel like a federation with two galaxies, as well as twelve satellite galaxies?

No, I don't feel it at all.

Even the loss of a hair on your head will be much more noticeable than that.

That's why, when it was demolished, the Federation added an activity that would be exchanged for more star systems at half price.

In the eyes of the Federation, a civilization with ten star systems exchanged all the points in its hands for scientific and technological information.

And the other, a civilization that also has ten star systems, exchanged all the points in his hand for ten star systems.

The Confederation is definitely more welcoming of the latter.

The former is nothing for the Federation.

The latter, for the Federation, is because they have more star systems and they are developing them.

And in the end, the Federation will also get more resources from them.

It's like that, if you want to be rich, build roads first.

The former is a one-time sale, and the federation gets quick money.

Although the latter does not have immediate benefits, the long-term benefits will be much greater.

Therefore, for this problem, Jiang Xingchen doesn't even need to ask for instructions, and can directly make his own decisions.

Don't want points?

To a galaxy?

No problem, just give it to you ten times as much as when you demolished!

So, Lan was very excited, thinking that a pie had fallen from the sky.

And Jiang Xingchen is also very satisfied.

This is what is going on within the framework of the subordinate civilizations of the Federation.

In many cases, even the Federation takes most of it, leaving only a little soup for the subordinate civilizations.

But these affiliated civilizations still see this as a win-win.

Or even win more on your own.

------

The next day.

After a closed-door meeting at the top of the federal hierarchy.

The following decisions were made.

First, give the Kingdom of Canter in the Small Magellanic System a chance to be demolished first, and give it ten times the compensation for the galaxy, and at the same time, in the specified area, it can choose by itself.

Second, on the side of the Magellanic Galaxy, Jiang Xingchen was asked to slow down his actions and gather more information.

Third, the defense fleet and the guard fleet will immediately be stationed in the Magellanic system to increase the Federation's forces there.

Fourth, the Central Academy of Sciences immediately formed a team and rushed to the Magellanic system to provide technical support to Jiang Xingchen.

Fifth, in the next three years, all Pangu-class warships built by the Federation will be prioritized to the direct fleet of the pioneer fleet, and the direct fleet will be replenished as soon as possible, that is, 10,000 warships.

Sixth, just in case, the Federation began to recruit three million mercenary warships in the subordinate civilizations to form the second batch of mercenary fleets.

With this order was given.

The entire federation is running at high speed.
