Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 42 Gaia Planet
"Rock life, this is really incredible. If only I could catch a few and dissect them..."

"Stop, stop, stop...Sister Xiaomeng, your thoughts are very dangerous. What you do will cause serious diplomatic accidents."

Wang Xueer sensed Chen Xiaomeng's demonic whispers, and quickly pulled her out of her research thoughts.

"Ahem. It doesn't have to be alive, it can be dead. It's just normal scientific research. Or you can ask the other party to send you some information. I'm quite curious."

Chen Xiaomeng was a little embarrassed and quickly explained.

"Looking at the overall data of this civilization, the ideological trend should be biased towards extreme militarism and xenophobia? How do these two things exist at the same time?"

Wang Xueer looked at the information and said a little strangely.

"It's actually pretty easy to understand."

Qin Xu couldn't understand other materials, so he could only look at sociology.

"How to say?"

Wang Xueer looked at Qin Xu.

"Aren't we also extremely egalitarian and xenophobic? Everyone is equal, but aliens don't count as human beings, so xenophobia isn't quite right..."

"Snapped."

Chen Xiaomeng patted Qin Xu's head, "You're all talking nonsense, just talk about it here, don't talk nonsense when you go out."

"..."

"Yeah, I got it!"

Wang Xueer suddenly realized something.

"Extreme militarism can be a knife to attack others, or a shield for defense. Putting xenophilia and militarism together, it is a warrior who fights to protect. It sounds good, and it should be able to establish a friendly relationship with us. Diplomatic relations."

"Look at this."

Liu Wenhan put a piece of information on everyone's tablet computers.

"Their home star is actually a 30-sector super-large Gaia star?"

Chen Xiaomeng said with some surprise.

"What is Gaia?"

Qin Xu asked.

"The planet Gaia has 100% habitability for all species, and the default final output of production activities is +10%. Do you know what this means?"

Chen Xiaomeng said.

Qin Xu shook his head.

"It means that all types of intelligent creatures known to us, whether they are arthropod intelligent creatures, fungi, aquatic creatures, mammals, reptiles, birds, can live on that planet without any obstacles."

"And the Gaia planet is generally relatively large. It has 30 divisions, which is equivalent to twice the size of the Earth."

"Wouldn't that be great for them?"

Qin Xu blurted out.

"That's not necessarily..."

As he spoke, Chen Xiaomeng found a piece of history in a large information package sent by the other party.

"really."

"what happened?"

"The planet Gaia is [-]% habitable for all intelligent creatures. In other words, this planet is a valuable colonial star for everyone." Chen Xiaomeng sighed.

"That's why there have been countless battles for civilization on this planet. No matter what type of intelligent creature has explored this planet, it wants to take it for itself."

"We are mammalian intelligent creatures. The terrestrial planet is 80% habitable for us. With a little modification, it can be more than 95% habitable. Such planets are actually rare."

"Several colonized planets like ours are not completely terrestrial planets. The colony of Cologne that has fallen is a tropical planet. It has 80% habitability for bird intelligent creatures like the Bazadi Empire, and for us breastfeeding The species is only 60%, and this livability is actually very low.”

"Low habitability means that more resources are consumed to produce and live there, and less output is obtained."

"But there is no way, without colonizing this tropical planet, it is impossible to colonize other polar planets and desert planets. Such planets are only 20% habitable for mammals, and there is no way to carry out normal production activities. Therefore, every A colonized planet with high habitability is very valuable."

"The Earth United Nations has opened up so many galaxies, and only then has it found these few planets that can barely be colonized. Now there is one that does not need to be modified at all, is 100% habitable for all intelligent creatures, and has 30 divisions. The huge Gaia Planet. As long as other civilizations are slightly stronger than them, they will try to snatch it."

After listening to Chen Xiaomeng's statement and reading the contents of the information, Qin Xu gradually understood why the other party was a civilization with extreme militarism.

With such a martial culture, they would say such things when they first came into contact with them.

Because fighting is a common occurrence for them.

This civilization has been living in the flames of war from the beginning, and it must adapt to being constantly in the flames of war.

They are used to being coveted by invaders.

Immediately afterwards, Su Lixuan and the other party put forward an application for trading star maps, and told each other the information of the galaxies that each had explored through the research ship.

Commonly known as opening a map.

The other party has xenophilic thoughts and has no reason to refuse, so everyone shared the map of the galaxy that has been explored so far.

If you don’t share this, you won’t know. If you share it, you will be shocked.

The territory of the Stone Republic, which is composed of stone men opposite, is connected to the territory of the United Nations on Earth, and it unexpectedly happens that it surrounds the Bazadi Empire.

After learning that the other party had officially been at war with the Bazadi Empire for more than ten years and had established rivals with each other for decades, Su Lixuan immediately reported the situation here to the top officials of the United Nations on Earth.

"I propose to sign a mutual defense agreement with the Rock Republic immediately."

"Objection. The mutual defense agreement can only be signed when one party is not being attacked and will be triggered after being attacked. The other party is already in a state of war. Signing this agreement has no effect except wasting our energy. And now the Bazadi Empire has already The Rock Republic is at war, there is no reason to declare war on us again, and there is no need for a mutual defense agreement."

"No, there is no reason why he attacked our colony in Cologne and massacred all the people there. That in itself was an act of war."

"Then let's declare war directly with the Bazadi Empire now, leaving him in a state of being attacked from both sides."

"We still need to know more about the situation. The situation in the Rock Republic is only news they have released on their own initiative, and there is no guarantee that it is true or false. Once war is declared with the Bazadi Empire, it will mean a full-scale war. It is still only a local conflict. There is still room for redemption.”

"Redeem? What do you think the 7 million people in our colony of Cologne will think of your words?"

……

The United Nations meeting was extremely noisy, but no decent plan was produced for a long time.

In the final analysis, they are still extremely egalitarian. The armaments they have always maintained are insufficient and their martial ethics are not sufficient.

It was too late when I was beaten.

In the end, there were no results after discussions. The scientific research ship Mozi could only act as the diplomatic envoy of the Rock Republic, and make a decision after in-depth understanding of the situation on the other side.

Su Lixuan received a direct order from the United Nations, ordering them to continue to investigate the information of the Rock Republic and improve relations with the other side.

Regarding the Earth United Nations' proposal to establish embassies for each other, the Rock Republic readily agreed.

Just as the other side was preparing to take the Mozi research ship to their home planet, a huge space creature suddenly swam towards them.

"Wait, what is that?!"
