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

After learning about this incident, the Taga civilization can finally start normal communication with this powerful but unexpectedly friendly civilization.

The reason is very simple, once the identity of the other party has changed from a "god" who hid his reality in the deep subspace from the original, to such a "human" with flesh and blood, who can laugh, fight, and sit upright. , many things have changed.

Taga will be afraid of "gods" and worry that the aloof He is hiding an evil face in the dark, but it is difficult for them to have so much worry and fear for a flesh and blood "person"-even though the latter is really difficult to fake. Not higher than the former, but people just want to believe the latter.

At least, her friendliness and gentleness can be seen first-hand.

Compared with the goodwill she released, the fair terms that made the Taga feel unbelievable, the little bit of suspicion is nothing at all.

"Thank you very much for your generosity, Your Excellency Hong."

After seeing Hong put the cat stamp on the agreement, declaring that everything was settled, Abel thanked. .

For no other reason, these terms really surprised them.

Although strictly speaking, Hong did not give them any special preferential treatment, but just moved over most of the provisions given to Zhiniao Civilization back then, and then changed it to Taga's name - the only difference is that, Since the Taga civilization was once an interstellar civilization after all, the foundation is still there after all. Hong will not give away those infrastructures that are not worth moving away to the other party for free after the other party regains its influence in space, but requires the other party to pay some. price in exchange.

It may seem like an ordinary and fair clause, but it is obvious that for a weak civilization that has been crippled and has no bargaining power, it is already unimaginable for Hong to take the initiative to sign an equal treaty with them. preferential treatment.

From the moment they realize that the overlord civilization that dominates the social order of this interstellar society is actually such a well-intentioned civilization that is full of care for weak and small civilizations, and can be called a mother-type civilization, they are already full of endless longing for the future.

Joining such a harmonious civilization system is something that Taga civilization longs for even in its heyday.

After confirming that everything was correct, Hong pushed the file to the other party and smiled.

"Welcome to the cat alliance partner country."

PS: Jiageng is still short of the last chapter, rush!

Volume 232 The Road to the Cat Alliance: Chapter [-] Era, advancing!

When human beings were diligently developing galaxies and doing business with Rockman, they learned that on the other side of the distant star sea, another civilization joined the Cat League system.

But it wasn't until the official diplomatic letter was received that people knew that this time, it was the penguins who joined.

From their point of view, the Cat League is like a realistic version of the animal kingdom of beast girls. Not only are cat girls, fox girls, birds, penguins and other creatures living in it, but even their AIs are all Asian. Space cats!

Take another look at the lizardmen on my side, the sense of gap is here.

However, because Maomen generally do not have the need or desire to go abroad, most human beings can only see the world that makes the two stinging apes ecstatic from the videos shot by those who go to Maomeng to do business on the Internet.

It's not that no one wants to make cakes fully open to non-governmental exchanges. However, it is clear that neither the Cat League nor humans actually want to do this. Although the reasons for each are different, from the performance point of view, the two civilizations have reached an agreement. tacit understanding.

Anyway, they are basically just talking about it. After all, although the treatment of human countries is not as good as that of the Cat League, it is actually very good. It is much better than the earth era. People are still very satisfied with their lives now. , I believe that the cake layer is not rotten, most of the problems encountered today are only temporary difficulties, and the future will become better and better.

In fact, the normal interstellar civilizations in the star field today, except for Qien, are basically not too bad. Many traits that could be regarded as "true lighthouses" in the pre-space age can only be regarded as basic skills in the interstellar age. It is an existence that will be considered backward by everyone if it cannot be achieved.

Of course, there are also some reasons for the cat alliance. After all, apart from the point of "strong AI rule" that some people resist, other aspects have to be sincerely said that the "interstellar lighthouse" that is the best in the star field is next door. Even if it's just for the stability of the position under their buttocks, they have to find a way to keep their people from feeling too much of a gap.

However, the natural progress of civilized morality is the factor that accounts for a larger proportion and plays a more important role in this process-without this as the cornerstone, the "forced" shaped by external pressure alone is doomed to fail. Long, it is impossible to be as stable as it is now.

Civilization is progressing.

The times are advancing.

"The docking of this ship has been completed, and the hatch has been opened. Please take your carry-on luggage and follow the platform instructions to the port hall."

After hearing the words on the radio, an old Taga tremblingly unfastened his seat belt, and with the help of the handle on the wall at a good distance, he floated towards the end of the passage together with other old Taga.

This is not the first time he has entered space. In the long, long past, he was the captain of the starship of the Tower Alliance. He controlled the largest cargo ship of the Targa civilization to and from various colonial planets, bringing them supplies from the parent star. product.

However, after they were defeated and lost space, although he saved his life and did not die under the Tukka nuclear bomb like many Taga people, he lost forever the possibility of traveling in this sea of ​​stars again. Like a bird whose wings have been broken, he has completely lost the beautiful starry sky that once occupied almost his entire life.

And what made him even more desperate at the time was that after that war, he was completely separated from his wife and his family on two distant planets, and on a certain day, he was completely silent. He could no longer be contacted—and on the same day, he saw on the news that the planet where his family was located had been saturated by a nuclear bomb.

In the end, after the 3.15 tragedy that shocked the Taga world and killed nearly half of the population at one time, the Great Silence Policy was implemented, and he completely lost the slightest hope that "they may still be alive, but they can't be contacted temporarily". Hope, life has completely turned gray, as if life has lost its meaning.

Taga is a very emotional race. Once their spouses are determined, they will almost never change their lives. If one party dies, the other party will almost never choose to find a new love, but just hold the longing for their loved ones like this , go on living alone.

A long, long time ago, when Taga’s civilization was still before the industrial age, their ancient values ​​would even make many Taga who lost their spouses choose to die in love—if it wasn’t after the Industrial Revolution, Taga’s concept followed the times. Change, they began to believe that continuing to live hard is what the dead relatives want to see most, and it is the best comfort for the dead. I am afraid that it was not as simple as losing three-quarters of the population back then.

He once thought that this was all he had in the future—to live strong, to live for his dead relatives, for the Taga civilization, and to avenge those abominable Tukeka, until the war was won, or he died completely. end.

After hearing that those tukekas had completely died out, he was still confused and didn't know what he would do in the future-he was very old, so old that he could no longer realize his dream and continue to live in the world. Fly in this beautiful sea of ​​stars.

What should he do?

He didn't know, and neither did many old Targa like him.

When the administrators of the Tower United approached him and said that in order to adapt to the development of the new era, he was required to re-register his identity, including the identity before the war "in order to re-arrange the position", he felt that his life seemed to have a little hope again .

Although he didn't think he could be qualified for his previous position, but if he worked hard again for the bright future of Taga civilization, maybe he could rekindle his hope of life?

In this way, he began to prepare for the position he might be assigned in his imagination, picked up the starship textbooks that he had kept for nearly 200 years, and began to review the knowledge that he once knew well.

Although there has been no follow-up notice for a long time, it seems that the administrative department feels that it is a bit oppressive to re-employ an old man like him, but he thinks this is OK-at least, in the process of re-learning knowledge, he seems to Back to my youthful self again.

That handsome Taga who roams the sea of ​​stars.

Until that day, when he got up to water his small vegetable garden as usual, and was about to return to his study to continue his studies, two young Taga found him.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Louis Newman?" A young Taga looked at the document and read, "Louis, who was the first captain of the super-heavy cargo ship Peter Da...Big Daddy?"

He thought that the position he was assigned had arrived, so he was a little happy, but after getting his nod to confirm, he got a piece of news that exceeded his expectations.

"Mr. Louis, we are very pleased to inform you." He could hear the joy in Taga's voice in front of him, "Your family members are still alive."

The watering can in his hand fell to the ground, but he couldn't care less about it.

"You... what did you say?"

"Your family members are still alive." Another taga knew how shocking such news was to an old taga, so he explained bluntly, "Your wife, Maggie Lena Ms. Tower, and your daughter, Tina Renata, are still alive and living with your daughter's family in the third temporary settlement on the planet Nahum.

"They are waiting for you."

After hearing such news, he truly realized that what he thought he had forgotten, the wound he thought he had healed—in fact, he never forgot.

He couldn't wait even one more second.

After entrusting his neighbors to take care of the vegetable garden at home if he didn't come back, he rushed to the newly built administrative building, hoping to reunite with his family immediately.

Although he was already prepared for the lack of transport capacity, he could not let him go immediately. After all, there are many things that are more important than the reunion of an old taga with his family. He can understand this. .

However, unexpectedly, the administrative department did not intend to delay at all, but immediately agreed—and arranged for him to board an express ship to Planet Nahum the next day.

Everything was astonishingly fast, which made him feel a little unreal—he was still living at home the day before, preparing for his upcoming post.

And the day after, he boarded an express ship to Nahum to reunite with his family members who he thought had died long ago.

If this is a dream, please wake up slowly——he thought to himself.

At least let him see his family again.

Even in a dream.

It wasn't until the spaceship arrived at Nahum, took the skyhook to the third temporary settlement, and saw the family members on the other side of the airport glass window that he could still recognize him at a glance despite the great changes in appearance, that he finally believed it. This is not a dream.

His family is still alive.

After 200 years, he was finally reunited with his family.

At the airport, there are many old Taga like him. Although the hall is full of crying, anyone who comes here will only feel that this is a place full of joy and beauty.

This is the sound of weeping with joy.

Similar things happened not only in Nahum, but also on the other 6 Taga planets. With the help of the Taga government and the Cat League, countless Taga were able to reunite and re-light their once gloomy lives .

This is a large-scale family-hunting project led by the Cat League and assisted by the Taga government. Its purpose is to help reunite the old Taga who were separated in different places and had no news for hundreds of years due to the loss of space due to defeat. ——Although due to the long period of time, the population of the plus taga has dropped by three quarters compared with that before the war, so most of the attempts ended in failure.

However, every taga who was able to see their family members who had been away for a long time and thought they would never see each other again in this life, every tear of happiness is the best affirmation of their efforts.

In the eyes of Red and the Cat League, this is just what they should do. For those civilizations who choose to join the Cat League cooperative country system and work hard together, this little help is really not worth mentioning.

After all, during the whole process, they were only responsible for proposing the plan, providing the Taga government with specific implementation plan reference, connecting information from various places, and then deploying some ordinary passenger spaceships for transportation.

To put it bluntly, how much does it cost for this little thing?A little bit of scum that flows out of the Maomeng's fingers is enough to implement 1 such plans. Let alone improving the image of the Maomeng and winning people's hearts, it is just to satisfy the moral needs of the Maomeng people. It can be regarded as a big profit.

But in Taga's view, especially in the view of Taga who has benefited from this plan, what the Cat League has done is more important than Mount Tai.

Many concepts that the government had tried hard to reverse before were suddenly reversed because of a small incident. In the eyes of the people in Taga, the image of the Cat League has been greatly improved in an instant.

Although they had heard a lot of positive news about the Cat League when they first joined the partner country, they knew that the other party still actively gave them a lot of preferential treatment under the situation of being overwhelmed by strength, and knew that in the interstellar society, Maomeng can be called an "interstellar lighthouse"-like existence.

But it wasn't until they experienced all this personally and began to truly feel the kindness of the Cat League towards its allies that they understood why so many people outside called it a lighthouse.

In the original plan of this plan, Hong actually didn't have the idea of ​​showing her face like this. She deliberately only connected with Taga Cake, and most of the steps were for her to give advice to the other party and then provide material assistance—anyway, the whole process The places where money is spent in China are all related to space. In the planned economic system of the Cat League, it is only the cost of fuel and the cost of using the spacecraft.

It’s really nothing to do this little favor—the reason why she deliberately kept the information from being leaked is to allow the Taga civilization to naturally erase most of the influence of the Cat League in internal propaganda. It was enough to retain the material assistance she provided.

Anyway, Hong is already satisfied with the image improvement brought about by material assistance. In her opinion, it is unrealistic for the Taga civilization to promote the goodness of their foreign civilization. It is also an independent civilization, and now everyone is not very familiar with each other, so how can they keep promoting the good outside?

But obviously, the Taga civilization doesn't think so. In their view, the cat alliance has provided such a great help, and it can even be said to be almost all of them.

This is completely inconsistent with the basic moral values ​​of Taga civilization.

There are many similar things, basically the same way, so, after a round of mutual humility, the trust between them has increased a lot more than expected, and they both feel that the other party is a Great civilization, relationships skyrocket.

Although a lot of waste is waiting to be done now, the level of civilization has retreated more than a hundred years from its peak, and there are countless things waiting for them to do, but Taga does not look discouraged at all. On the contrary, he is becoming more and more motivated, feeling full of infinite energy. power.

Because now they believe that as long as they work hard, the future will become better and better.

Times are moving forward!

Volume 233 The Road to the Cat League: Chapter [-] The Unusual Mother Planet

In the past few years, post-war preparations have been carried out in an orderly manner.

In addition to the normal fleet replenishment and cat alliance transformation of new galaxies, Hong also digested a wave of advanced civilization knowledge acquired, conducted in-depth research on some of the advanced civilization relics obtained, and hid these items The advanced technology has been well explored.

This war has yielded a lot. According to Hong’s statistics, there are two “warp disruption force field generators” that can be directly used in the black box. One has a larger range and higher strength. Covering the opponent, but it consumes a lot of electricity, even the Glory is a bit too much, and a special reactor upgrade must be carried out to drive it.

The other one has a smaller range and lower strength. Basically, it can only cover a range of about [-] kilometers around, but it consumes relatively little electricity. It can be installed by simply pulling a Glory class.

Obviously, one of these two generators focuses on active attack, which can trap the enemy's fleet and prevent them from fleeing at warp speed. It can be defended by maintaining low-power operation as it did in the first battle with the church before, but it is always better to have one more, and it can prepare for possible multi-ship and multi-line operations in the future.

In addition, the equipment that can be used directly includes dozens of new superluminal communication devices, the bandwidth of which is much larger than that obtained from the extinct unit; and more than 100 subspace communication devices, which are directly connected to the red At this time, the red subspace fluctuation can be controlled and diffused around the communication device, forming a phenomenon that "the communication device is red".

Although according to the test, the fluctuation limit value carried by the communication device is only about one-tenth of that of the cubs. The effect is good-but this is not to say that these communicators are useless, on the contrary, with them, it means that Hong can finally exert her subspace influence on places that she cannot go to, and at the same time, she cannot let Zai Zai go .

Like the previous work of exploring the pure cathedral of the religious order, if there is a communication device there, Hong will not need to analyze the clues of conventional signals, but can directly detect them left over subspace signal.

In addition to these complete usable equipment, Hong also obtained a lot of miscellaneous wreckage, such as two damaged warp speed engines, a damaged warp speed disrupting force field generator, and two Stargate wreckage or something like that.

Among them, the wreckage of the stargate that self-destructed when the corrupt civilization retreated basically looked like a mass of unknown metal. At best, the materials could be analyzed, and the research value was very small.

However, the wreckage left by the Spanrui civilization remains largely intact. Although the equipment has basically been damaged over a long period of time, and all stored data has been lost, the overall structure is still intact. You can compare it with No. 2945 Come to conduct research—maybe even, there is still a little possibility of repairing this star gate?

Although there are no other stargates on the same network, so even if it is repaired, it is of no practical use, but being able to repair a stargate is an extremely significant progress in itself.

It was the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Cat League, and as usual, Red once again held a ship review ceremony in Katus, and reported on the third 25-year plan in the past—thanks to the victory of the Cult War, Cat League not only overfulfilled the plan this time, but it was also a big overfulfillment, with an increase of about 20%.

The total power of the current cat alliance is about 2.6E16 watts, the total tonnage of the fleet is 6 million tons, and the power ratio is about 2%. Although it is already a militaristic standard for ordinary organic civilization, for the situation of the cat alliance, This even falls under the criteria of "emphasis on economic development".

Therefore, Red's plan for the next 25 years is to increase this ratio to 2.5%, which is the normal economic status of the Cat League. The economic development is backward, and it can maintain sufficient armaments while the industry is growing rapidly. This is the most suitable ratio in the red model to deal with the current interstellar situation.

Of course, it’s not for the situation of humans and Locke—after being invited to participate in the Cat League’s ship review ceremony, and after listening to the Cat League’s annual development plan, especially after the Cat League’s outrageous "normal economy", everyone has It means that harmony makes money, and harmony makes money.

How bad it is to fight and kill.

Will scare the little ones.

As for the Qien Empire, under the offensive of human beings' peaceful evolution, it is already in a state of desperation - there is one thing to say, regardless of the small size of human territory, there are really many tricks, especially when dealing with the low-level control of Qien. Rotten country, all kinds of soft invasion moves so much that the Rockman shouted insidious and cunning, invincible.

Cooperating with the offensive of the Kion underground organization and the rebel army, apart from the Kion mother planet which somehow cannot penetrate, other colonial planets, especially those planets with a large number of slave races, have begun large-scale armed rebellions, and some even Many Chien began to join in this act, resisting the tyranny of the empire.

In fact, many people have begun to wonder why the home planet of the Kion Empire is completely impenetrable—this is definitely not a problem for the people of Kion, because judging from the conditions of the various colonial planets, although the Kion people who sympathize with the slave race Not many, but by no means extremely rare, the overall difficulty of penetration is really not high.

Only this home planet can’t penetrate at all, not to mention, the intelligence workers who voluntarily go there basically never return, and they will lose contact soon after entering. Very few people who were later found to have left the home star to go to other colonial stars , the organization did not dare to contact again—at the same time, after learning about this situation from the human side, some people with lofty ideals in Qien also said that they had similar suspicions before, but they suffered from the lack of evidence and the scale Too small to be sure.

Now, after being confirmed by foreign civilizations, they began to suspect that there was something unusual on Kion's home planet—all those who were born on the home planet, or who had stayed on Kion's home planet for a certain period of time, would Proven to be unable to instigate rebellion, his loyalty to the empire is almost full.

Moreover, since they learned about the subspace, they began to speculate whether it was the subspace that caused the trouble.

After all, judging from the experience of the current major civilizations, once it involves consciousness or something, it is inseparable from the subspace in all likelihood.

For this reason, they also wanted Hong, a friendly subspace cat, to come and take a look, but because Hong couldn't leave by herself, no one dared to ask her to let Zai Zai come to such a dangerous place. This idea has been unable to be put into practice.

After all, let alone whether Hong is willing or not, they themselves dare not let Hong's cubs come here.

How much this omnic cat thinks of her own cubs, all civilizations basically know it well, if her cubs are injured or even die in their territory because of them, then it is really The old birthday star eats arsenic-he thinks his life will be long.

But after Hong obtained and researched this batch of subspace communication instruments, after discussions between the two sides, they restarted the plan—in order to avoid being discovered and intercepted by the intelligence department of the Kion Empire in advance, they spent about two earth years The time for secret preparations, and finally around the 50th anniversary of the cat alliance, this subspace communication device was sent to a cargo ship leading to the mother star of Qien.
