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

Obviously, after thinking that Feng Yu had disappeared with the space station forever, this big bird was under a lot of psychological pressure—after all, the other party was its most proud student, and it was precisely because of him that Feng Yu boarded the space station. The newly built space station.

If Feng Yu is really dead, it doesn't know what will happen to it...

It shook its head, no longer thinking about those things.

At least, the other party did come back alive - from this point of view, it really has to thank these alien birds.

Even though it hasn't even seen the other party's face until now.

"Feng Yu, I haven't seen you for so many days, you look..."

It looked at the opponent's feathers a little bit, even for a hawk species like it that is not very good at grooming, it can be seen. It has not been seen in recent months, and the color of the opponent's fur has obviously dimmed a lot.

Although Feng Yu looked cheerful, it was obvious that the other party must have been in fear these days——it thought so.

Just when it was about to care about the other party, the scream of the blue bird completely interrupted its train of thought in an instant.

"I definitely didn't eat rat slices every day just because you couldn't control me!"

Feng Yu screamed loudly.

"?"

Big Bird tilted his head, his eyes full of doubts.

PS: A new volume, a new beginning!

March, keep going!

Volume 170 The Road to the Cat Alliance: Chapter [-] Five Above the Sky, the Gate of Hell?

Facts have proved that the reason why she had to take care of herself nervously before was just a guilty conscience.

Its nature is probably similar to that of a parent who has been on a business trip for several weeks and suddenly calls to say that he will be home soon, so he hurriedly mops the floor, washes the dishes and throws away the takeaway bags-the highlight is a temporary cramming.

The sound of the aerospace plane's engine gradually dissipated, and the hatch behind the fuselage slowly opened, revealing this very fresh world in front of them.

"Welcome to the habitat of Avis." Seeing her get off the plane, a row of Zhiniao made a very standard boob salute. "On behalf of all members of Zhiniao civilization, we welcome you."

Hong also responded in the same way—different from the first contact with humanoid civilizations such as Jeffrey/Humans, when negotiating with civilizations such as wise birds with extremely different body structures, in order to avoid misunderstandings, they They have already exchanged the etiquette of the two parties in advance, and agreed on the process before the two parties meet.

"teacher!"

After the polite exchange between the two parties was over, Feng Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried over, trying to refresh his cute and cute image.

"Okay, please move over here next, the transportation to the venue is ready." The big bird known as the teacher patted Feng Yu's feathers, confirming that her body is not only healthy, but even After getting a little fatter, it said while trying its best to sulk its face.

Following the opponent's wingtips, Hong saw a, um, a very...industrial-looking car parked beside the runway.

Is this thing... really a car?

Looking at the car-like machine beside the runway except for its wheels, Hong Hong maintained a smile on his face while using the built-in communication channel to complain to Li.

But she can also understand the reason. After all, it is a bird civilization, a species that is born to fly. It would be nice to have a car on the ground that can sit on the ground. From this appearance, this thing has a high probability It was urgently refitted by Zhiniao. It is estimated that the prototype should be something like a truck.

Also, for birds, the ground transportation tool that is worth their special manufacture is probably a truck-compared with air transportation, the ground can carry more and heavier goods at a lower price, which is the most important thing for most birds. available in any civilization.

"Please get in the car." It made another chest salute, "Our leader will meet you at your destination."

"it is good."

Amidst the attention of the birds, the convertible carrying the red gradually drifted away until it completely disappeared from their sight after turning a corner.

As if some switch was pressed, almost the second after the car disappeared from sight, the originally quiet welcome team suddenly exploded.

"It's really a terrestrial intelligent species, so amazing!"

"Looks like a big one."

"Hey, it's a bit different from the alien bird I imagined—but it looks surprisingly good-looking."

"They seem to use external fabrics to act as their feathers." A big bird of the genus Glyph analyzed the bird next to it in this way, "cloths of different styles and colors should have different meanings and expressions, such as this style It's obviously meant to be worn on formal occasions."

"A pair of paws that are completely free from walking and specialized in grasping! I'm so envious that they don't have to take the wing and paw certification like us."

A big bird who had failed the level-[-] exam for the Wing and Claw Certificate twice recently said in an envious tone.

This sentence immediately resonated with everyone.

"Yes, yes." "I'm so envious." "Damn, I also want to be able to use tools so flexibly without taking the wing and claw certificate!"

Not only the birds of the welcoming team, but even those birds who looked like managers and big shots were chirping and chatting with the birds next to them, as if they had no distinction of status at all.

When welcoming the envoys of strange civilizations, they need to show the utmost respect and respect, because they represent the entire wisdom bird civilization, and they are the faces of the hundreds of millions of wise birds in the habitat of Avis.

But after the alien messengers left, they no longer needed to maintain that serious face—the smart birds are actually not a race that is good at doing serious things. As lively birds, their favorite is still a group of The birds gathered together and chatted.

"Hey, Fengyu Fengyu." A big blue bird of the same species as Fengyu, but much bigger in size, approached, "Tell us about what you've seen and heard these days? Everyone is very concerned. "

"Okay, okay."

Hearing this, Feng Yu, who seemed to have found some life-saving straw, nodded quickly, flapped her wings twice and flew over, escaping from the big bird that seemed eager to grab her and give her a hard spanking .

"Master is unlucky~~~"

Looking at Feng Yu surrounded by a flock of birds, it thought with a wry smile.

On the occasion of the first contact between two civilizations, it's a little too... innocent to shout that you didn't steal rat chips or anything.

But fortunately, she finally came back.

After seeing this familiar blue bird with his own eyes, the heart that he had been blaming himself for these days was finally completely let go.

"There is a super super large space building under construction on their planet. It is said to be a giant space logistics facility called 'orbital skyhook'. It was destroyed in the previous war and is now being rebuilt..." Feng Yu spread his wings and made a big gesture, "It's said to be hundreds of kilometers long!"

"Wow."

The birds' heads were thrown back in unison, looking shocked.

"Not only that, but they also have many, many spaceships, each of which is..."

Feng Yu was very excited to share with his companions what he had seen and heard these days.

However, compared to the very active appearance of these young birds, the teacher's expression is not so relaxed.

As one of the birds in charge of the Zhiniao spaceflight project, compared with these young birds who have lived in a peaceful environment since childhood and are very interested in alien creatures, its thinking is more pessimistic.

When a group of alien birds with crushing advanced technology and a strong desire for war encounter a backward primitive civilization like them, will it really be as beautiful as many birds imagined?

Yes, even though it knew very little about the other party, it could see an obvious characteristic of the other party just from Feng Yu's description of the scene - they did not seem to be a very peaceful civilization.

Where will the future of the wisdom bird civilization go?

he does not know.

The only thing that relieved him was that the ancient prophecy that the older generation of birds made so much fun was indeed wrong, they would not, as the prophecy said, open the gate of hell above the sky time", was "destroyed by an enemy of the gods from outside the world".

He has long said, what prophetic prophecy.

They're all scams.

--------

"Then, it's settled."

After confirming that he had no objection to the agreement, Hong returned the signed agreement with the cat's paw mark to the other party.

"Thank you very much for your generosity, our gratitude is beyond words." After signing his name, the leader of Zhiniao civilization took two steps back and saluted with the most respectful etiquette in their civilization, "May nature The wind of wind will always bless you."

"May Mao Mao bless you forever."

Hong also replied with the same words in a learned way-in fact, there is nothing wrong with these words, after all, if Xier really wants to protect them, then the strength of this promise is much stronger than the wind of nature.

The wind of nature?

How many full editions does it have?

"The business has been discussed, and the next thing is my personal wish." Hong stood up and said with a smile, "I am very interested in your art and culture, so if possible, please introduce some good ones to me. place."

"That's exactly what I mean, Your Excellency."

The other party nodded his head first, and then whispered a few words into the microphone on the side. After a while, a very beautiful-looking finch bird flew in.

"This is our Minister of Culture, and she will arrange your next visit." Leader Zhiniao said, "This agreement is too important, and I need to report it to the parliament immediately, so I will arrange the next itinerary." I can’t accompany you anymore, please forgive me.”

"Understood, I wish our future cooperation smooth sailing."

Seeing the backs of Hong and the Minister of Culture getting farther and farther away, he let out a long sigh of relief, and started to fly to the parliament hall in the opposite direction—ever since Hong landed, the members of parliament had been waiting for his news in the hall.

To be honest, this agreement is much friendlier than they imagined—under such a large technological gap, the other party is willing to admit that the sovereignty of this galaxy belongs to the wisdom bird civilization, and chooses to use resources and technological assistance in exchange for The ownership of those planets, rather than direct use of force to seize.

Although it seems that the other party is buying and selling by force, exchanging some cheap resources for the expensive planet in their hands, in fact they understand very well that this is already the great generosity and kindness of the other party.

Although Zhiniao is a race that is pro-foreign and pacifist, it is by no means stupid and sweet, and there will be no situation where it clearly does not have the corresponding strength, but naively demands corresponding rights.

Even before, they never thought that there would be such a good condition - you know, according to the authorization given to him by the parliament, as long as the other party is willing to respect their sovereignty over the habitat of Avis, and promise to allow them to enter space for normal development , normally conduct diplomacy and trade with the civilization of the other party, then he can directly sign the agreement on behalf of the wisdom bird civilization, without having to ask the parliament for instructions.

As a result, now, the other party not only agreed to these requests without hesitation, but was also willing to provide them with a lot of scientific and technological assistance, and promised not to occupy the sovereignty of these planets forever, and will gradually return these planets after they develop to a certain level Give them—everything, as long as they agree to become a partner country of the "Cat Alliance" and fight against those "extinct civilizations" with them after they develop.

Obviously, even if the empty check of "returning the planet to a certain level of development" is not taken into account, just technological assistance is a sure-fire deal—the other party could have chosen to take it at no cost, but now they are willing to pay the cost Accompany the weak to carry out "deals".

"It seems that we were lucky to encounter a kind civilization."

Now recalling that prophecy, he just felt dumbfounded.

It seems that the so-called prophecy is really just a lie.

But it doesn't matter, he didn't believe in the whole thing in the first place, but because the older generation was too serious when explaining it to him, out of respect for them, he didn't directly denounce it as religious superstition.

Although today's wisdom bird civilization has destroyed almost all religious books to avoid the resurgence of things that once hindered the development of wisdom bird civilization, for academic purposes, they still left a very small number of samples for research—— This is also an important reason why many older generations believe in the so-called prophecy.

I have to say that these religious birds are very good at speaking, and they can use that kind of ambiguous words to make a look that seems to be able to predict the future 100 years later-just like this time, the so-called "Travel of the Sky" "The Gates of Hell" has caused many hardcore materialist birds to change their minds, thinking that the prophecy is true.

It seems to be right, but now that I think about it carefully, it is full of loopholes.

After all, in the eyes of the church, "Above the Sky" is a place that cannot be explored by ordinary birds, and belongs to the domain of "God". There - a gate to hell that is predicted to bring the end of civilization is naturally an excellent choice.

As for what many people think, the so-called gate of hell refers to this wormhole or something, and it belongs to the fact that everything can be set up, which makes no sense at all-as long as they can name a "space gate", they Can give a little trust for the time being.

Moreover, in order to prevent the birds from doubting, after making this prophecy, the church declared that the "God" suddenly disappeared without a trace, and even the most devout believers who sacrificed their lives could not Then they found the "god" who had guided them for hundreds of years, as if they had annoyed the god because they wanted to explore the idea of ​​​​the sky.

Such a coincidence, will there be a bird letter?

However, the church's idea of ​​hindering the development of wisdom bird civilization and science was finally wiped out. After making this so-called prophecy, the people did not believe their words as stupidly as before, but began to question the church's suppression of science. Research, I don't want them to develop technology and explore the purpose of the sky.

Although relying on the inertia of authority, they still maintained their rule for decades after that, trying their best to hinder the development of science and technology, but as more and more people began to wake up, the rule of the church gradually declined.

In the end, with the sound of the airship Dawn, this decadent church was completely swept into the garbage dump of history by the first modern country that upholds the materialistic and scientific development concept, and became an unforgettable chapter in the history books. Too glorious a past.

"Now, no one should insist on that unfounded prophecy, right?"

Looking at the eagerly awaited MPs in the audience, his eyes became firm.

It's time to completely remove the last poison left over from a hundred years ago from the wisdom bird civilization.

Next, their journey is the sea of ​​stars.

(Diplomatic Correspondence: The Cat League has given Avis the status of a joint partner country)

(It's unremarkable)

Volume 170 The Road to the Cat League: Chapter [-] Six "Dyson Ball Project"

Of course, the current Zhiniao civilization is just a cooperative country of the Cat League. Member States that accept the management of Red.

On the one hand, the technological level of the other party is only roughly equivalent to that of humans at the end of the [-]th century, and it is still far from the interstellar civilization. Even with the technical and material assistance of Hong and Li, they want to bring their technology to the same level Using any industrial facilities belonging to Hong or Li, and only relying on its own industrial system to build the cat alliance's main battleship), the most optimistic estimate will take decades.

On the other hand, after all, the two parties have only met each other not long ago, and their understanding of each other is very shallow, and their trust is far from the point where they can integrate into each other—and, for personal reasons, Hong does not intend to use the Jeffrey Civilization again. In that way, to quickly "harmless" other civilizations.

It is too fast to do so, but the price is that she must also be responsible for this civilization-she thinks that it is difficult for her to bear such a heavy responsibility.

Therefore, without large-scale and comprehensive assimilation, it will take a long time to turn the wisdom bird civilization into a reliable ally like Jeffrey, and it may even take two or three generations of birds maybe.

This is also an experiment for Hong to see if the alien civilization can become a reliable enough ally without using such radical methods.

She hoped so.

Of course, even if the wisdom bird civilization cannot join the interstellar stage for the time being, this will not affect the development process of the cat alliance for the mother galaxy of the wisdom bird civilization. In fact, the first batch of engineering ships and The cargo ship is already on its way.

According to Li's plan, the main purpose of the first batch of engineering teams was to ascertain the distribution of mineral deposits on each planet, build temporary ports, deploy some advanced bases and small factories, and make early preparations for the subsequent large-scale and comprehensive development.

This process is expected to last for three to five years, until Li completes the deployment of industries in his own territory and completes the docking of manufacturing standards with Hong's side.
