Chapter Seventy-Eight: Investigative Operations
Although the Danube Empire is only a space-class civilization, they are extremely warlike, and in their eyes, their civilization itself is a high and noble civilization, so they call themselves imperial civilizations.
In the course of their empire's space age, they have always regarded those weak and backward inferior civilizations as the objects of conquest, like uncivilized beasts, and in the process of conquering those weak civilizations, a certain kind of superiority has naturally formed within their civilizations.
Although they understood that their civilization was not the most powerful civilization in this vast universe, they did have the qualifications to be superior to other civilizations in terms of the weak civilizations that their empire had encountered.
A civilization that is more powerful than them, they have not encountered it, there was once a high-level civilization that called itself an angel, and their civilization was still weak, and they were just developing space technology.
The angels, dressed in silver armor, winged, armed with swords, and all beautiful women, were like gods in mythology, and they were made to submit to some righteous order, and they were required to establish faith in angels, and to hold on to something akin to dogma.
Unfortunately, at that time, their Danube Empire had just entered the space age, and their knowledge of many things in the universe was limited.
Suddenly, they were approached by such a high and powerful civilization, and out of prudence, they conservatively rejected the invitation of those angels to spread their faith and join some righteous order.
Later, after hundreds of years of interstellar expansion, their empire has expanded the territory of civilization to the scale of nearly fifty light-years, colonizing more than two hundred star systems, but they have never encountered the angelic civilization that once wanted to invite them to join the righteous order.
But then they met some other civilizations that had accepted the favor of angels and were willing to join the righteous order, and were the same space-class civilization as their empire, and were almost the same in strength.
Those civilizations, adhering to the ideals of peaceful development, upholding justice, and stabilizing the Quartet, had conflicts and contradictions with their Danube Empire.
Because their Danube Empire was too belligerent and keen on interstellar expansion, the contradictions between them and the civilizations under the command of the righteous order became more and more intense, resulting in many large-scale wars and exchanges.
Most of these wars were not initiated by their Danube Empire, but their constant provocations led to the eventual outbreak, and those civilizations under the command of the righteous order declared war on their empire in the name of judgment, but the result of the war was that they won more than they lost.
And those civilizations under the command of the righteous order that were defeated were not blessed and supported by those angels in the end.
However, due to the strength and deterrence brought to them by the angelic civilization in the past, although the Danube Empire has won many wars, it no longer continues to take the initiative to provoke and attack those civilizations under the command of the righteous order that it encounters, and instead chooses to carry out interstellar expansion in the direction of other space civilizations that have not encountered other astronauts.
Now, in the Toth system, where their Danube Empire has only developed for more than a decade and has been designated as a frontier, they seem to have encountered a civilization that is more advanced than their empire.
The scientific and technological strength of this civilization is obviously ahead of their Danube Empire, but it is not clear which of these unknown civilizations that have just encountered and is not even willing to actively communicate with them compared to those angels who have found their empire......
After much deliberation, Sir Collus, although he felt angry, did not make any more unusual moves.
It's just that they have no choice but to let the intruder, who is an uninvited guest, cruise around their Toth system unimpeded.
The difference in strength can only make them temporarily converge a little, and the arrogance accumulated when they treated those backward civilizations that could only live in the planet in the past and were primitive to the point of being uncivilized had to be hidden first.
"It is reported that the data code of the other party's ship has been deciphered, and the other party's information base is being stolen, and the other party is indifferent and does not have any overreaction."
On the scientific research ship, Professor Li and others explored the Toth galaxy, and before they were ready to leave the star system, they easily cracked the information base of the other ship.
It was not that Professor Li intended to offend the Danube Empire's exploration fleet, but that the other party's information technology means were too low-level, and they just deciphered it casually, and the other party's information flowed in front of them like a faucet that couldn't stop the water, and the other party's ships must not have noticed it.
"The Danube Empire, stepping into the space age, has a record of 375 years of Kamigawa in the development of aerospace technology, and the territory of civilization has reached 50 light years, bordering the space civilizations under the command of several righteous orders......"
After carefully examining the information obtained from the Danube Empire's exploration fleet in the Toth system, Professor Li immediately set up a bold plan after a burst of program analysis by the computing core.
Unexpected delight.
Without this information, their future mission would be nothing more than a mechanical exploration of unknown star systems one by one.
Originally, they thought that this so-called Danube Empire, like the previous Modo civilization, was just a backward ordinary space-class civilization, but they didn't expect that the civilization territory behind the other party could cover fifty light years.
Fifty light-years may not sound like much, but it's a territory measured in light-years.
Fifty light years, even if their scientific research ship uses hyperspace engines to cross superluminal galaxies and cruise at sub-light speed in star systems, it will take less than half a year to fully explore.
Now that the information of the Danube Empire is in front of them, and there are several space-class civilizations near the territory of the other party's civilization, if they can continue to steal the information of the other civilization, then their scientific research ship can collect more information about the star system in the shortest time, and complete the tasks assigned to them by the company faster.
Originally, their mission was to find out the details of all star systems within 200 light-years for the company in the shortest possible time, with the El System as the central point, and collect resource data of related galaxies.
To complete such a task, it would have taken five to six years for five scientific research ships to start exploring from five different directions, and it would have taken them five to six years to accomplish the final goal.
However, if this plan is implemented, their estimated time to complete the task will be greatly reduced.
As soon as the solution was generated in Professor Li's computing core, it was immediately transmitted to the other people on board through the public communication channel, and then there was some discussion to collectively analyze whether the solution was feasible.
In the end, this plan was unanimously approved and implemented by all the personnel on the scientific research ship.
So, after leaving the Torth system, their research ship immediately began to head towards the core star field of the Danube Empire according to the information obtained from the fleet commanded by Sir Cleus.
There they will cause a sensational event of civilizational diplomacy.
