With the information obtained from Basel, Lin Fan also breathed a sigh of relief and concentrated on preparing a plan to visit Loulan Sector.
A month later, a small fleet escorting more than a thousand top federal experts in various fields arrived in Loulan.
These people are divided into ten groups, with more than 100 people in each group. Within each group, except for the 10 people in the diplomatic group, the rest cover almost all fields!
They will form an evaluation team to conduct an overall evaluation of all aspects of the civilization they encounter during the journey to determine whether the other party meets the basic conditions for the federation to recruit affiliated civilizations.
Originally, Lin Fan himself had not planned to go, but considering that he had been fighting with Liang Xue and Emma for so many years, he had no time to stop and take a good rest.
It would be better to take this opportunity as a vacation, so Third Fleet of Lin Fan Emma became one of the two remaining fleets, commanded by his adjutant Xia Tina on behalf of him.
So the three of them set off with Guard Fleet and the expert team.
Two days later, Guard Fleet arrived at the first stop, which was also one of the places directly connected to Loulan by Star Path. According to the Orion Arm Star Chart provided by the system, Lin Fan knew that this Star System was called Ogg and belonged to Level 2 Civilization and Auger Empire.
However, not long after exiting the jump, after obtaining some images of the spacecraft in Star System, everyone in the bridge was a little dumbfounded! Even the members of the expert group were in a daze.
Is this thing I saw a spaceship? Are you sure you're not kidding?
We can't blame everyone for being ignorant. The key is that the spaceship that everyone saw was really weird. Is there any Steampunk wind in it?
Even after scanning, we found something similar to a steam engine in the opponent's spaceship. Can you believe it? This is a spaceship!
"Legion Commander, there is communication access, do you want to take it over?"
"Take it over!"
Lin Fan also recovered from his daze, nodded and said.
"This is the Auger Empire border patrol ship. Which civilization are you from? What are you doing with our Auger Empire? Do you need assistance?"
There was a hint of flattery in his voice, which made Lin Fan a little confused. What kind of border patrol ship was this? How could he be so flattering when he saw the arrival of Unknown Fleet?
However, Lin Fan immediately slapped his forehead, forgetting that the other party was only a level 2 civilization.
Suddenly seeing a fleet of 20,000 battleships, they came up and shouted.
"Stop the fleet in front and report your purpose immediately, otherwise we will use force to expel it!"
This is what the hell is going on!
To be honest, just as Lin Fan thought, the Og people in a certain patrol ship were almost paralyzed with fear.
Picking up the communicator, Lin Fan replied!
"We are Level 4 Civilization Human Federation. This trip is for a friendly visit. Don't worry!"
Lin Fan may not know that his standard reply directly frightened several Auger Empire people into panic.
Only the mouth keeps repeating it.
"Level 4 Civilization. Human Federation Level 4 Civilization Human Federation!"
Well, for them, the most awesome civilization they have ever seen is Level 3 Civilization Kabart Empire, which can destroy their empire with just a breath.
And now there is an even more awesome Level 4 Civilization, isn't that a god-like existence?
Not to mention, just looking at this fleet, it is much more powerful than Kabart Empire's fleet. Every battleship is so huge.
Therefore, several Og people in the patrol ship had no doubts about Level 4 Civilization's statement.
He immediately responded with extreme respect and a flattering tone.
"Masters Level 4 Civilization, please wait a moment. I will immediately notify the emperor of our empire, Your Majesty, to be ready to welcome you!"
Listening to the voice message sent by the other party, Lin Fan also smiled bitterly. Sure enough, Level 4 Civilization was in this Loulan Sector, which was indeed a bit too scary.
"Okay, Liang Xue let's take Emma to visit their planet later. Anyway, the expert team will handle it at other times!"
"Okay!"
Liang Xue also smiled happily, finally feeling like a vacation.
That's right, Lin Fan came out this time to take his two girls on vacation. He even told Lin Zhen, Ed and Saunders openly.
Lin Zhen has no objections. He even hopes that Lin Fan can achieve some results with the two girls along the way so that he can have more grandchildren.
Ed, as a good friend of Lin Zhen, naturally has nothing to say and has exactly the same brain circuit.
As for Saunders, my granddaughter was running errands for someone else, so she just turned a blind eye!
Soon, Emperor Augustus, who was processing official documents in the palace, received the message from the patrol ship, and was stunned for a while before he recovered!
"When someone comes, immediately order the royal etiquette team to prepare for the reception, with the highest standards! In addition, notify all ministers to come to the palace immediately!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After the guard heard Augustus's words, he was also shocked. Is it Kabart Empire who is the highest-level etiquette team?
Without thinking too much at the moment, he immediately ran out to convey Augustus's order.
The patrol ship in contact with Lin Fan also received the order from Augustus and immediately welcomed the other party to Aug Star!
After communicating with Lin Fan again and getting a reply from Lin Fan agreeing, everyone on the patrol ship breathed a sigh of relief, then adjusted the course, led the way, and sailed straight towards Aug Star.
But inside Uranus, it was very lively. After all, the other party was only a level 2 civilization. Under Uranus's various powerful scanning equipment, the entire patrol ship seemed to have been stripped naked, and all the results were scanned clearly.
But it was these scanned results that caused the members of the expert team to collectively explode.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Why do you say it's impossible? The scan results are already in front of you, it's just that you don't want to believe it!"
"I know, it's just hard to believe!"
"Well, you have to know that the path we humans take is not the only way. All roads lead to Rome!"
Looking at the two experts who were arguing the most, Lin Fan was also a little curious.
"What did these two experts discover that surprised you so much?"
Lin Fan walked to the expert group and asked the two of them.
"It's Lin Fan Legion Commander. You don't know. The technological path this civilization is taking is really incredible!"
"Oh? What do you say?"
Lin Fan is becoming more and more curious. It seems to be very interesting to be able to surprise the expert team like this.
"How should I put it? Well, it's like what would have happened if humans had not entered the electrical revolution after the steam revolution?"
"What do you mean?"
"Yes, the civilization in front of us is on the road of pure steam and has developed steam technology to the extreme. That patrol ship was built based on steam technology!"
"What, a steam space battleship?"
Lin Fan looked like you were kidding me.
