Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

At least according to Feng Yu, there is no such thing as a "world war" in their history, and there are even a few cases of medium-scale national wars, and most of them are ancient wars that don't even have steam engines ——After entering the process of industrialization, the wisdom bird civilization has almost completely missed the war.

After an industrial country with a first-mover advantage contacts a backward agricultural country, as long as they confirm that the other country has the same aspirations as them and believes in love and peace, they will generously help each other and devote themselves to making the two countries prosperous together. Progress together, and finally peacefully unify after mutual integration to a certain extent, and become a new country.

At the end of the unification process, there were not a few countries that were unwilling to integrate, or simply opposed their beliefs, but when they found that almost the entire world had been occupied by this trend of love and peace, they finally compromised .

In the end, with little to no bloodshed, there was only one country left on the planet, an egalitarian nation of more than a dozen different reproductively isolated species.

And after completing the Great Unification, after decades of peaceful development, they began to no longer be satisfied with huddling on a small planet, but began to set their sights on the deep universe.

They believe that they are not alone, and there must be many civilizations like them in the universe, waiting for them to join and build a utopia in the universe together.

"It's really a very...beautiful ideal."

In the end, Hong still didn't use the word "naive" to describe them.

It is true that for civilizations like them that have already entered the interstellar stage, they already know the cruelty of this universe-now the Cat League has encountered a total of five civilizations, of which only humans can communicate well. Two are population cleanliness (two civilizations encountered in the early days of Jeffery civilization), and two are extinct omnics.

Even if Jeffrey is the main perspective, and the encounter with Hong is counted as a civilization contact, at most two of the six civilizations can communicate - a 33% probability, and it only meets the most basic requirement of "being able to communicate with each other." It is just the condition of "communication". It is conceivable that this universe is by no means the peaceful and beautiful utopia that Zhiniao imagined.

Not only that, according to Li's database, among the creators of the two omnics, the hive mind has been confirmed as a "killing bee swarm" that regards all other species as mere food, while Tie Xin is A war AI created by a very violent extreme militaristic country with the purpose of completely eradicating all other countries by race.

Moreover, this so-called "race" is obviously the same race in their eyes, but there are only slight differences in appearance.

This is definitely not a harmonious family that believes in love and peace, but a primitive jungle that eats people without spitting out their bones. The relationship between them and humans can be called goodwill, such as the establishment of the cat alliance. Such incidents are even more rare and unimaginably rare.

Jeffrey has no doubts that if what they met was not red but an ordinary civilization, even if the other party was not an extinct regime, bloodshed and war would definitely be inevitable between them.

It seems that the purpose of the makers of these wormholes is to hope that they can perish in endless conflicts.

The fast-paced, almost breathless opening speed of wormholes, one civilization after another that hopes to completely wipe them out, one war after another that will be completely extinct as long as they lose.

Even these smart birds are the same. If they hadn't successfully defeated those extinct omnics, the moment the wormhole opened would be the day of extinction of their civilization.

It is really easy for an interstellar civilization to destroy a civilization on a planet. The reason why it is very difficult to land on a planet, such as the Ai star that has not yet been defeated, is more because the other party itself is actually an interstellar civilization, but lost space. It's just a fleet, and the combat power on the ground is still at the level of an interstellar civilization.

But if you are facing a pre-space age civilization, the difficulty will be much lower. Even if you have not encountered Hong, the total tonnage of the fleet is only a mere million tons, and the Jeffreys have not even fully entered the information age. , can easily complete the attack on the planet, and eliminate the two races with home court advantage.

This is a dark universe.

This is also one of the reasons why both human beings and cat alliances do not want to fight against each other as much as possible-the forces of darkness are so huge, as civilizations with similar values ​​and a basis for unity, they must unite.

At least when fighting against extinct civilizations, they must stand on the same front.

For this reason, even purely egoistic human beings can voluntarily give up the entire G2-139 galaxy. Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the qualifications and ability, but Li still agreed to their request, and even made a promise to assist them within a certain range, but was declined by humans.

Even with such a tight internal economy, humans who have only one star system can make concessions so far, and they who occupy seven star systems have no reason not to do so.

Like kittens huddled together in a snowstorm.

They have to huddle together to keep warm, so as not to freeze to death in this cold winter.

"How about you, come and work hard with us, okay?"

After learning from Hong that there will be a wormhole opening to her home planet, Feng Yu has been tirelessly trying to convince them with their ideas.

"Although I saw you fighting on this planet before, I can feel these days that you are actually a peace-loving civilization, and the war should be nothing more than a last resort."

"How about goo?"

Regarding the bird's words, Hong just smiled and told her that these things can only be decided after meeting with her civilized cake.

After all, she is just a baby bird, so it's better not to destroy the beauty in her heart too early.

"Okay Goo."

Feng Yu jumped up and down happily. Obviously, she mistakenly thought that as long as the two civilizations meet, a beautiful and gentle family will be established.

In fact, the wisdom bird civilization is really lucky-the extinct omnics that were supposed to connect with them have been completely wiped out, and the new civilization is not a "normal civilization" like human beings, but a very idealized civilization to some extent. civilization.

They were very unfortunate to be born in such a dark universe, but fortunately they met a partner who was not so dark.

Nearly a month later, finally, on the orbit where the space station appeared, a wormhole appeared silently.

On one side are cats and on the other side are birds.

Two civilizations that are far away and should not have met are once again connected together under the influence of wormholes.

It's time to turn a new chapter.

PS: Immediately, the editor asked me to apply to change the title of the book tomorrow so that the contract can be changed. The tentatively decided title is "Will the Out-of-Control Servant Meet the Space Cat?" What do you think?

Anyway, I think it should be better than the current title, do you think the current title is good?

If there is no problem, I will submit the name change.

Volume 170 The Road to the Cat League: Chapter [-] [-] First Contact with the Wisdom Bird Civilization

A very, very rich galaxy.

Shortly after arriving at the home galaxy of the Wisdom Bird Civilization, they came to this conclusion.

Their parent star is a G-type star with a spectrum of G8V, and its temperature is probably between the parent star of the same family and the parent star of humans. This is not surprising. Compared with all stars with habitable planets in the current cat alliance , whose spectra are K/G type stars.

This also proves from the side that, at least for their type of carbon-based organisms, only these two types of stars are suitable for the birth of life-other stars are not too large to cause their lifespan to be too short, and it is too late to give birth to life. It has died in a supernova explosion; or it is too small, causing the planet in its habitable zone to be tidally locked prematurely, accepting the endless one-sided roasting of the parent star and the baptism of violent flares.

Of course, although they have not encountered any civilization with a red dwarf as a parent star so far, current cat scientists generally believe that there is actually a chance for life to be born around a red dwarf, but when they encounter such a civilization Before, this could only be regarded as an academic speculation rather than fact.

However, even if they are all K/G type stars, there are differences in their abundance.

Compared with the stars in the Cat League, the parent star of the Wisdom Bird Civilization has a slightly larger mass and higher metal content, which makes it have a higher probability of having more planets, and it will not appear like the planets in the capital of the former empire. The case of a star system with only a pitiful four planets.

However, compared with the star with the largest mass in the current cat alliance star map, the sun, the orbiting planets of this star are not so scattered - the orbit radius of Neptune, the farthest planet in the solar system, is a full 45 billion kilometers. The farthest planet in the Bird Galaxy has an orbital radius of only about 4 million kilometers.

This makes the logistics cost between planets much lower and the transfer speed much faster. At the same time, it is not easy for ideologies to conflict with each other because the civilization circles are too far apart like humans.

Obviously, this is a very nice star system, very suitable for space industry and cosmic colonization.

This is Hong's rough judgment when he first entered the star system.

However, when new data came to her in a steady stream, she revised her conclusion—this is not a very good place.

It is a perfect geomantic omen.

Because, in this star system, there are ten planets.

Seven rocky planets, one ice giant planet, two gas giant planets, ten planets squeezed into a small area with a radius of less than 5 million kilometers.

This is really an unimaginable degree of crowding—especially for the seven rocky planets in the interior, except for the home star of the wisdom bird civilization, which is a little farther away, the other six are all squeezed into a narrow space of 7000 million kilometers. range, its density seems to ignore the problem of multi-body gravity at all.

从内到外，七颗岩石行星的轨道半径分别为0.1、0.13、0.19、0.24、0.37、0.45、0.71天文单位，外侧的三颗大行星则分别为1.13、1.8和2.87天文单位。

With such a dense population of planets, it is almost doomed that this star system cannot be a barren galaxy—more importantly, among the seven rocky planets, four are of the same mass as Mercury and have no atmosphere.” small" planet.

Small mass means low escape velocity, greatly reducing the cost of electromagnetic ejection into orbit; no atmosphere means no air resistance, and the operating height of the orbital skyhook can be reduced very low, thereby reducing the cost of skyhook logistics; At the same time, being very close to the star means that its metal content will be very high, so it has very rich mineral resources.

Not only that, but the most wonderful thing is that these four planets have all been tidally locked due to their close distances—for ecological planets, tidal locking is a disaster, because it will cause an astonishingly large temperature difference between the two sides of the planet , resulting in an extremely violent climate, affecting the survival of life.

But for them, tidal locking means that one side of them is always on the dark side, which avoids the problem that the temperature of the planet is too high in the near future and requires a lot of cost for protection and heat dissipation.

This is almost the perfect industrial planet template.

Moreover, there are four such perfect templates.

These are just the four "best" planets. Although the other two planets are a bit bigger, and one of them has an obstructive atmosphere, they are only inferior to the others. If they are placed in the star field of the Cat League In comparison, its industrial potential also belongs to the upper-middle class.

And until now, she hasn't even counted the satellite belts of the three giant planets.

Different from the distant giant planets on the human side which are 5.2 AU at the nearest and even 30 AU at the farthest, the giant planets here are only 2.87 AU at the farthest and only 1.13 AU at the nearest, which is only a little bit farther than the earth-the distance is so The industrial potential of the satellite belts that are so close and so dense will never be inferior to those "perfect templates" in the inner circle.

Hong can even boldly say that if the satellite belts of these giant planets can all reach around the average line, the industrial potential of this star system can be comparable to that of the three star systems of the Cat League combined.

"It is really a galaxy that interstellar civilizations dream of."

Hong sighed.

After seeing such a star system, Hong secretly made up her mind that she must pull the wisdom bird civilization into their camp.

It is impossible for them to give up such a rich galaxy-no interstellar civilization can give up such a galaxy, and even for most civilizations, after seeing such a galaxy, the wise bird civilization inside is irrelevant.

It's just a primitive civilization that hasn't even entered space. Their opinions will not affect their behavior of occupying this galaxy at all.

You say you have sovereignty over these planets?Is your name written on it?

No matter how noisy you are, you will be together.

Of course, if you really want to say it, according to the values ​​​​of interstellar civilization, the other party does not have the sovereignty of these planets-it is just to have the sovereignty of its own home planet, and the interstellar civilization must be willing to treat the other party as an equal political entity. If it is more radical to regard the other party as a primitive civilization, then even the sovereignty of the home planet will cease to exist.

It's just that Hong's moral level is still not that flexible. If possible, she still hopes to achieve a win-win situation through peaceful means.

Even if you need to give the other party a little bit of benefits, anyway, at that time, as a member of the Cat League, they will not distinguish between you and me. This expenditure is just used to quickly improve the civilization level of Zhiniao, so that It quickly became a reliable force in the Cat League camp.

Of course, if the other party is really unwilling, then she has no choice but to use some means—after all, she is the leader of the cat alliance, and what she serves is the cat alliance members who trust her, not strangers. star civilization.

It can only be said that personally, she hopes that the two sides can have less conflict and more win-win cooperation.

"Radio waves in the direction of the planet are detected, the communication protocol is identified as xxx, the frequency band is xxx, and the source is judged to be a large space launch site on the ground."

"Detected the direction of the planet..."

After Hong finalized the negotiating policy with Zhiniao Civilization, not long after, Li reported that she had detected multiple communication signals from the ground.

Obviously, there must be a chaotic scene on the ground at this moment—an unknown space distortion suddenly appeared on the low orbit of the parent star, and then a dozen spaceships with a length of several hundred meters drilled out of it in a short while. No matter how you look at it, aliens are here.

At this time, the space channel is full of demons dancing wildly. The spacecraft constantly receives radio waves from different frequency bands and different protocols on the planet, in various forms-it seems that the...birds on the ground don't know how to communicate with them. These aliens who don't look very friendly (ship style of unit 01) communicate, and can only throw all the means of communication on it and try their luck.

"Red, which communication should we respond to?"

Li Xianghong asked for instructions.

"Look around and see if there is any frequency band that used to communicate with that space station."

"Have."

"Then respond to that." Hong turned the display screen to Feng Yu who was opposite, and ordered, "It's easier for her to negotiate this kind of negotiation."

"Ok."

Li nodded, and began to control the spacecraft to transmit signals with the call sign of Zhiniao Space Station.

"Beep...beep..."

Hong noticed that while waiting for the communication to be connected, the little blue bird tidied up its feathers nervously, trying to appear more energetic.

That's right, even if it's such a heartless little bird that eats, sleeps and eats every day, it's impossible not to feel nervous when it's time to reunite with its mother civilization - so red I thought.

"Communication connected."

During Li's report, a big bird that was significantly larger than Feng Yu appeared in the video.

This bird is very similar to a creature called "America's Eagle" that Crimson introduced to herself. It has a white head, a brown-black body, a sharp beak, sharp eyes, and a bird with wide flight feathers. Wings, it is not difficult to see that this is a raptor that is good at hunting.

Although she had heard Feng Yu talk about her civilization being composed of more than 20 races, Hong was still a little surprised when she saw this scene.

What kind of environment is it that allows these creatures at different stages of the food chain to restrain their hunting instincts and choose to coexist peacefully in the barbaric era before civilization?

"Wind Feather!"

After seeing this unexpected bird on the opposite side of the screen, the other party was extremely surprised. After all, in their opinion, this should be a fleet belonging to a completely unfamiliar alien civilization.

"teacher!"

Feng Yu called twice cheerfully, obviously, the other party was also a bird she knew.

"Great, you're still alive..." After seeing the familiar bird, the sharp eyes of the other party quickly softened.

Unlike young birds at school age, as adults, when they practice their peaceful and friendly values, they will not naively think that all alien birds are just like them as a peaceful race.

As mature adult birds, they are prepared for the worst before they get connected.

However, after seeing Feng Yu, their vigilance quickly dropped a lot-this is normal, aside from other things, just because the other party chooses to rescue their members, they can still let her come and fight with them. To communicate, it means that the other party has a high probability of goodwill.

Even if they pretend to be snakes, they can make an interstellar civilization whose power is at least hundreds of times that of them pretend to be snakes, which is very good news.

As long as they are not the kind of savage birds that come up and shout to fight and kill, they may use their superb diplomatic skills to fight for reasonable rights for the species.

"Teacher, have you seen the uncles and aunts in the space station?" Feng Yu couldn't wait to ask after greeting each other briefly, "After the space station was teleported away, as soon as I woke up, I found that there were only I have one bird and all the other birds are gone."

"Well, don't worry, the other birds have already returned to the ground." The big bird, which resembles the American Eagle, replied, "While you were sleeping, the old space station suddenly broke down, and all uncles and aunts were urgently dispatched." I went to the old space station to repair the equipment, I didn’t call you when I saw you were still sleeping, I didn’t expect..."

The other party didn't continue talking, but sighed leisurely again.

"It's really great that you still..."
