Hearing Sun Zheng talk about remuneration and compensation, the iron-blooded crew raised their hands in response.

"According to the convention, I am now a prisoner of Your Excellency, and I am not qualified to negotiate."

What the hell? Is it so good?

"You mean that you and this spaceship already belong to me?"

"Nope! The ship and myself are just trophies for now. The final ownership will be decided through negotiations! ”

"Who am I negotiating with?"

"If Your Excellency allows, I will contact the home planet and ask the mother planet to send a negotiator!"

Sun Zheng's mind moved, and the space light screen suddenly swiped a dynamic, directly increasing the merit value by a thousand points!

And this good thing! What are you waiting for? Pan him!

"Okay, you can get in touch!"

The iron-blooded crew operated the light screen, recorded a video, and sent it out. It's not that he can't talk directly, according to him, his current status as a captive is not qualified to talk directly to the home planet.

A reply was received quickly, and the negotiators would converge with the ship in about an hour.

Sun Zheng had to admire the other party's scientific and technological ability, this kind of cross-star flight only takes an hour, and it is obvious that he has mastered techniques such as superluminal speed or warp speed.

When the contact was over, there were only two people left on the boat staring at each other.

Sun Zheng began to knock on the side to inquire about the news.

"What kind of convention are you talking about? Did the Earth also participate in the formulation? ”

"Your Excellency! The solar system in which the Earth is located belongs to the Predator's sphere of influence, and the Interstellar Covenant is also valid! ”

"Huh? When was that convention signed? ”

"In the earth calendar, it was about 100,000 years ago."

Wipe! 100,000 years ago? Whether humans on Earth have learned to walk upright is still a question. That's when they'll be able to fly from the stars? It's no wonder that people use the earth as a hunting ground, they can come when they want to come, and they can leave when they want.

Sun Zheng was depressed: "Is the earth just a playground for you?" ”

The iron-blooded crew explained: "Before there were intelligent races on Earth, it was just an ordinary testing ground. Later, human civilization appeared on Earth, and according to the Convention on the Civilization of the Intelligent Race, Predator had withdrawn from Earth affairs. ”

"The Intelligent Race Civilization Convention? Also an interstellar convention? ”

"Nope! It was an agreement negotiated between the strong man of the earth and the iron-blooded mother planet through the iron-blooded trial. ”

Yes? It seems that the water is very deep here.

Sun Zheng wanted to ask more, but this guy didn't know much, but only explained a little bit of the news he knew.

According to him, the original Earth was indeed just a place for the Predators to test.

Although the human beings on earth have gradually opened up their wisdom and formed tribes, kingdoms, and civilizations. But at that time, they were still just inferior creatures in the eyes of the Predators.

Until many years ago, there were some strong people on Earth who passed the trials set by the Predators and obtained the same warrior qualifications. Then, after several years of struggle and negotiation, the two sides finally agreed on the so-called "Intelligent Racial Civilization Convention".

According to this convention, the Earth became a civilized planet recognized by the Iron and Blood Civilization. At the same time, as an obligation of the lower civilizations, the Predators will select a number of trialists from Earth at regular intervals.

Once you pass the trial, you will automatically obtain the same status and qualifications as the Predator. He then moved to interstellar and was assigned a post to carry out interstellar missions.

Antarctica's proving ground is the primary selection site. Even if Wieland hadn't found out, the Predators would have randomly selected people on Earth to put them in.

As a result of this trial, that black girl Lex Wood was the only one who passed the primary. Received an identity mark, and was given a weapon. In that telescopic spear, there was a message left by the previous powerhouses of the earth, and she would practice and improve by herself in the next five years, and then participate in the next interstellar trial.

After passing the interstellar trial, you can be recognized by the Iron Blood Mother Star and selected for the interstellar team.

To put aside his words, that is to say, the interstellar covenant is a common agreement that the civilization forces of the whole universe abide by. The "Intelligent Race Civilization Convention" is only an agreement between Predator and the Earth, and it is a regional regulation.

"According to you, it takes a series of trials for earthlings to achieve the same status as predators. Then why do you say that you are now my captive under the Interstellar Convention? ”

"Your Excellency! According to the agreement, everything that happens in space falls within the scope of the Interstellar Convention. Moreover, your strength is far beyond that of us Iron-Blooded people, and you don't need trials. Before we came to Earth, we were repeatedly told not to befriend the powerful people on Earth who possess magical powers. According to the agreement, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke the mage, they will not interfere with our actions. ”

Sun Zheng came to the spirit: "That is, you have ever been in contact with the mages on the earth? ”

"Yes! The Pact between Predator and Earth was made under the witness of the mage. I've only heard legends before, but today I met the mage for the first time! ”

"Who is the mage who bears witness to the convention?"

"I don't know about this, these agreements were made tens of thousands of years ago."

"No matter how long it takes, you should have a record, right?"

"That's just a verbal agreement, how can there be a record?"

"Are you willing to keep the verbal agreement?"

"We Predators, respect strength! There are powerful people on the earth who are far beyond our strength, and of course we are willing to abide by the agreement. ”

Oh, at the end of the day, it's all about strength.

At this time, the operator console jumped out of the contact signal, and the iron-blooded crew answered, and the other party asked to board the ship for negotiation.

On the big screen, Sun Zheng saw very clearly that the other party only came to a small spaceship more than ten meters long, and when he was led into the spaceship, only one iron-blooded person came down.

Just this courage to go to the meeting alone, I have to praise it!

"Your Excellency the Mage, Ya'an Khan from the Iron Blood Star salutes you!"

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Sun Zheng returned a mage salute and invited him to take a seat. The spaceship is now a trophy, and it is its home turf.

Ya'an Khan first expressed his gratitude to Sun Zheng for his actions to eliminate the aliens and save the Iron Bloods, and then asked him for his request.

Sun Zheng originally planned to hack this spaceship, the technology that can fly interstellar, who doesn't want it?

But now that I know that there are so many connections between the earth and the Iron Blood Star, and there are many ancient secrets involved, my thoughts have changed.

Before that, he needed to know a little more about the Interstellar Covenant and the Civilization Covenant.

Ya'an Khan listened to him ask about this, and did not play sloppy, directly called up the spaceship database, translated it into Chinese, and handed it to Sun Zheng to read.

Sun Zheng looked through it and had a general impression in his heart.

The so-called interstellar conventions are some agreements made between civilizations that have interstellar navigation capabilities, the most important of which is actually the division of power. What is more frustrating is that the earth is only one of the more than 100 habitable planets under the jurisdiction of this Ya'an Khan in this convention!

Earthlings ponder all day long what to do if aliens attack the earth, look at this convention, it's funny! It's like a beggar who worries all day long about when the rich man will come to snatch the half of the steamed bun in his hand.

The "Intelligent Race Civilization Convention" agreed between the Earth and the Predators did not leave any textual information.

Sun Zheng only turned to a summary of the Antarctic Trial Tower, according to this summary, the trial mission that starts every hundred years is not a requirement of the Predators, but a request of the earthlings!

What's going on?

Ya'an Khan explained: "In those days, there were many strong people on the earth, and there were powerful magicians in charge. In fact, he is already qualified to talk to Predator on an equal footing. However, the level of science and technology on Earth is lagging behind, and interstellar travel is not possible. Those who are strong demand that the Predator fulfill the obligations of the superior civilization and ensure that at least one trial is conducted every century until Earth develops the ability to travel interstellarly. ”

Sun Zheng was shocked: "Why? Obviously, your civilization is far beyond the earth, and it will have a suppressive effect, right? ”

Ya'an Khan was embarrassed: "Civilization needs communication!" The earth needs our scientific and technological guidance, and we also need the help of the earth's strong people. If they are cut off from each other, the earth will be forgotten and eventually destroyed by infighting. This is proof by the destruction of countless civilized planets! ”

"But you've never been face-to-face with each other, have you?"

"Different levels of civilization have different ways of communicating. There is an important principle of non-interference between interstellar civilizations and planetary civilizations. Only one day, when the Earth has the ability to travel interstellarly, will it be able to dialogue with the iron-blooded civilization on an equal footing. But unlike other planets, the civilization level of the earth is backward, but it has super strong individuals. We talk to these strong people, and we are always equal! Just like Your Excellency. ”

"You mean to say that those predecessors on the earth have long known about your existence?"

"Of course! There are many strong people, strong to a certain stage, to explore the mysteries of the universe, need to travel through the galaxy, will contact us, we will provide a spaceship to respond. ”

I rub!

Countless thoughts flashed through Sun Zheng's mind, the guys who flew to the immortal realm in the legend of Temeow couldn't have been picked up by the Predators, right?

The more you think about it, the more it looks!

Not only do there are similar legends in the East, but there are also heavens and hells in the West, and there are even those who have been there once in a while and come back, and now it seems that most of them have something to do with these guys!

I'll go, what heaven, hell, fairy, and underworld are all predators' spaceships!

Wait, these are not reliable, but magic really exists!

It seems that the master is hiding a lot from me, so I have to go back and talk to him!
