Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 645 - 631 diplomats have an audience

The diplomat from the Steel Ancient Civilization, Barbaro, actually knew his actions were a last resort, merely trying whatever he might to get a breakthrough. Now, whatever civilizations were part of the Snow Dragon Alliance, their diplomats did the same, riding on envoy ships in search of any power they could rally.

Barbaro and his team boarded the reconnaissance ship led by Qi Xiao. He had originally expected this to be a long journey, but in reality, it took just over 10 days to reach Nuoye Star.

"Did we really just travel six thousand light-years in just 10 days?" Barbaro, when told they had arrived, started to feel uneasy.

The Steel Ancient Civilization was not a high-level civilization; they hadn't even mastered the second stage of warp technology, yet the interstellar traveling ability displayed by Qi Xiao's reconnaissance ship far exceeded his expectations.

The terrifying speed of traveling 25 light-years per hour was enough to make many civilizations back off.

Unlike the Second Universe, where interstellar travel facilities were well-developed, the Third Universe lacked densely set stargates, so the contact between civilizations was not frequent, with many civilizations only communicating with others every few hundred years.

"Yes," Qi Xiao casually replied to the Steel Ancient man, feeling slightly displeased inside. With the capabilities of the Sky-Piercing Pyramid, the Twelve Knights of Destiny could connect their divine weapons to their warships, thus granting the ships a certain teleportation ability; however, this teleportation was limited. It generally only allowed travel to areas with spacetime beacons or through spacetime tunnels.

He could have teleported directly to Nuoye Star with a beep, but to spare the feelings of the Steel Ancient man and not to be too shocking, he had to activate the warp engine of the reconnaissance ship to return to Nuoye at the fastest speed.

Barbaro's expectations for the Iridium Star United Empire, which Qi Xiao was representing and which he had never heard of before, were now somewhat heightened. Anyone capable of pushing warp speed to such extremes clearly belonged to a technologically advanced and powerful civilization.

Since the Third Universe had no formal classifications for civilizations, their understanding of civilizational levels was relatively simplistic.

Barbaro also probed Qi Xiao multiple times, hoping to find out from where exactly the Iridium Star United Empire hailed, but Qi Xiao kept his lips sealed. This only increased Barbaro's curiosity.

Nuoye Star was a beautiful planet, slightly larger than Mars, shining with a sapphire-like luster, resembling a blue eye, and its atmosphere featured very interesting cloud patterns, making it look more like an eye gazing into the starry sky.

In just a few days, Bai Zhongqi had developed a series of facilities for this planet. These included a sky-port for docking starships, as well as some orbital defense weapons, communication facilities, and on the surface of the planet, he also built five cities, all next to scenic locations, intended as holiday cities.

With eighty thousand soldiers across four fleets, Bai Zhongqi requested that one third of the forces remain on combat alert, while the other two thirds were actually stationed on the surface, given three days of leave every week. These Iridium Star soldiers spent their time in the cities built for them by the Chancellor, indulging in card games or sports, as Bai Zhongqi did not establish any industries related to entertainment.

The soldiers of Iridium Star maintained utmost discipline, making them the most orderly soldiers Bai Zhongqi had ever seen. In fact, maintaining military discipline, besides adequate logistic support and leaves, essentially depended on mental fortitude. However, Bai Zhongqi was not quite aware that many of these fellows were equipped with virtual reality devices, plugging directly into them as one pursues sensory experiences in online games, thus the soldiers had no need for dalliances.

There were no flowers or grass on Nuoye Star to speak of; besides these soldiers, there were only Bionic Humans, and Bai Zhongqi had not relocated any other civilians there.

When Barbaro was brought by Qi Xiao, Bai Zhongqi appeared much like a child leaning over his desk playing with Glass Beads. He was not playing with marbles, but was rather organizing. Clearly, as a celestial collector, he held no concept of human rights for lower life forms; the planets he collected were time-frozen, sealed within glass beads, and if there were lives within, their very existence was paused.

Bai Zhongqi planned to unseal some of these planets gradually to become Administrative Stars of the Iridium Star United Empire. His first choice was still the planets of the Primate Clan, and although there were significant differences among them, the assimilation process was relatively straightforward.

Qi Xiao informed him of a request for an audience from a diplomat from the Steel Ancient Civilization, and Bai Zhongqi casually put away his Glass Beads.

Before the audience, Barbaro had already inquired about the etiquette of the Iridium Star people, so his manners were proper when he met Bai Zhongqi.

In fact, he was still shocked beyond relief. Upon arriving at Nuoye Star, Barbaro saw rows upon rows of Warships neatly arranged in orbit around Nuoye Star, with a count reaching at least five thousand. Barbaro knew of several powerful civilizations with fleets of this scale, but clearly, Nuoye Star was a "recently acquired" planet, and this fleet, even if it was Iridium Star's main force, could not be all of Iridium Star Fleet.

Such a powerful military civilization was clearly worth courting, and even more deserving of his respect.

Before the diplomatic audience, Bai Zhongqi had already received various intelligence from Qi Xiao, including a rough concept about the Spiral Mosquito Civilization invading the Third Universe.

In fact, the Spiral Mosquito Civilization had arrived in the Third Universe three thousand years ago, which was longer than the Silver Feather Army had been stationed there. However, the local civilizations had not recognized the Spiral Mosquito Star as an extraterrestrial civilization; rather, they assumed it had traveled from another stellar system to the Snow Dragon Galaxy.

The newly arrived Spiral Mosquito Civilization was fragile, but they opted for an inconspicuous Star Region to quietly focus on recovering their strength and did not encounter provocation from other civilizations, hence they remained undisturbed. For at least two thousand years, the Spiral Mosquito Civilization had virtually no interaction or trade with any other civilization.

In fact, there were many low-profile civilizations in the Snow Dragon Galaxy; flaunting oneself without significant strength naturally leads to extinction. People assumed the same of the Spiral Mosquito Civilization, thinking they kept a low profile due to weak strength. They were unaware, however, that the low profile of the Spiral Mosquito Civilization was merely a guise before they struck fiercely.

Over five hundred years ago, the Spiral Mosquito Civilization advanced to a High Level Civilization and developed a formidable war machine, starting to wage wars in nearby areas. No civilization could stop them, and the Spiral Mosquito Civilization successively defeated ten civilizations, expanding their strength. However, since material distribution in the Snow Dragon Civilization was widespread, traveling to another valuable planet could take several years or even decades; the Spiral Mosquito Civilization did not give up but also looked for other methods.

It was not until recently that they found a temporal corridor leading to the Star Sector of the Zhalan Civilization, and only then did the Spiral Mosquito Civilization reenter the fast track of invasion.
