Should we inform the Second Star Region of this mere speculation?

None of the Nair People reacted, and for a moment they did not know what Ulta wanted to express or what his purpose was.

After a short while, Nair People finally looked at Ulta and said, shaking his abdomen, "Lord Ulta, you don't mean to intercept the humans and force them to tell you the truth, do you? That's unacceptable. Not to mention that this Human Civilization is powerful, we shouldn't take action against them based on their past acts of goodwill."

"Of course we won't make a move!" Ulta cracked his claws a few times, then continued, "We won't make a move, but we can't guarantee that the Second Star Region won't!"

All we need to do is inform the Second Star Region that the human fleet represents the entirety of Human Civilization, and that they are actually a Wandering Civilization. We also need to inform the Second Star Region of all the information we have regarding humanity's destination, fleet composition, number of ships, and so on. That will be enough.

Ulta paused for a moment, then continued to explain his plan.

He opposed the human proposal to buy scientists, but no one listened, and he had no way to do anything about it, nor did he have any evidence. However, after receiving the broadcast message from the human about the Silver Heart Alliance, he connected all the information and guessed that humans might be a Wandering Civilization.

He himself couldn't swallow the fact that his fellow human beings had been taken away by humans, and based on the fact that the Silver Heart Alliance was gathering Low-level Civilization and other information, he became convinced that the humans' motives for buying the Nair People were absolutely impure.

At this moment, Ulta continued, "Your Grand Governor, our primary goal is definitely to unify the Nair Civilization. Therefore, anything that could weaken the Second Star Region would be absolutely beneficial to us. So when the Second Star Region's ships arrive, we certainly cannot tell them about Alloy No. 1. Only by not telling them about Alloy No. 1 can we possibly provoke them to take risks."

"That may be true, but that alone is probably not enough!" said one of the Nair People agreed with Ulta's idea.

Ulta raised his claw and added, "Of course not. We can sell all the technologies except for the No. 1 Metal material to the Second Star Region, and then tell them that Human Civilization has many cutting-edge technologies obtained from the Interstellar Transaction Market, but our First Star Region is too weak to take direct action."

"That's somewhat possible, but what if the Second Star Region requires us to travel together to humanity's target star?" the Nair People said worriedly.

"Then we'll notify the fleets of other star systems to go there. In any case, it can't be our fleet. The reason is simple: if our fleet moves, the humans will definitely find out." Ulta seemed confident.

At this moment, another Nair People did not quite agree with this approach spoke up, "Lord Ulta, isn't what we're doing a bit unfair? After all, this is just your speculation. And even if Human Civilization is a Wandering Civilization, they haven't done anything bad to us during this period. On the contrary, we've obtained a lot of technology from them."

Putting aside the powerful alloy material, Alloy No. 1, the mere fact that it utilizes Quantum Computer technology and Artificial Intelligence source code is enough to elevate our combat capabilities to a new level.

I dare say that with Alloy No. 1 and Artificial Intelligence technology alone, we can expect to Nair Civilization in the First Star Region in the near future. To go back on our word and anger Human Civilization at this point would be a very unwise choice.

"No, Will, it is not our First Star Region that is hostile to humanity, but the Second Star Region. We can dispatch fleets from other Star System to go with the Second Star Region, but we are going there to maintain friendly exchanges with Human Civilization."

"If a conflict arises between the Second Star Region and humanity, we can observe first. If humanity possesses materials more powerful than Alloy No. 1, then we will assist humanity and inform Human Civilization of the current state of our Nair Civilization's three-way power struggle."

Ulta cracked his claws, looking smug. "Then we'll tell Human Civilization the whole story and the Second Star Region's schemes, embellish it a bit, and offer Human Civilization some benefits. I'm sure they'll agree to help us achieve our goal of unifying civilizations!"

If Human Civilization's warships prove more powerful than Alloy No. 1, then we will unite with the Second Star Region to annihilate them.

After Ulta finished speaking, a Nair People said indignantly, "Lord Ulta, you are trying to lure the Ke Du Beast into your own house (inviting a wolf into the house). We finally managed to send Human Civilization away. If you do this, won't you drag our entire Nair Civilization to the brink of danger? I do not agree to this."

As soon as these words were spoken, other Nair People immediately echoed, "Yes, it's a consensus that we can't reveal the internal situation of our civilization. Once we leak the information, we will inevitably become the common enemy of the Second Star Region and the Third Star Region. How can we possibly compete with them then!"

"Hmph!" Ulta made an onomatopoeic sound, then said in a contemptuous tone, "Gentlemen, our Nair Civilization has been divided into three forces for three thousand years. During this time, each has acted independently, and cultural differences have gradually emerged. Three thousand years have passed, and none of the forces has the strength to unify the world. If this continues, I'm afraid we will really split into three different civilizations."

You've all seen the star map showing the distribution of power in the Milky Way Galaxy. The universe isn't just home to our Nair Civilization; we must achieve unification as soon as possible before we're qualified to live in this universe. If things continue like this, and the next civilization we encounter isn't Wandering Civilization like Human Civilization, nor as benevolent as humans, then we will face annihilation.

Therefore, I believe that a short, sharp pain is better than a long, drawn-out one. With the help of Human Civilization, we don't even need to wait thousands of years to achieve the reunification of civilizations.

No one expected that Ulta would have such a plan, and the entire Nair People's Conference Room was immediately filled with noisy discussions.

While the Nair People were arguing about this, the human fleet had already sailed further and further away, eventually disappearing into the dark universe, until it was completely gone from the Nair People's telescope.

Humanity could never have imagined that the piece of advice they gave to the Nair People before they left would become the trigger for all sorts of other information, exposing their fact that they were Wandering Civilization.

Little did he expect that, just as he embarked on his Star Path, the previously kind-hearted Nair People would plot against him from behind.

At this moment, because the target star is 27 light-years away, after completing the acceleration, human society has issued a great hibernation order and embarked on a ninety-year journey alone.
