History

The Luo Tu Civilization was a commercially powerful Level 5 civilization with territory spanning hundreds of star systems. Under Head of State Huo Xiyu, it followed an independent development path from the lower tiers to Level 5 and retained substantial scientific research potential. Its transportation fleet became essential to distant lower-level civilizations that lacked their own large interstellar carriers. 316 409

Its business relationship with Human Civilization began through leased space carriers for missions such as the Stone Beast operation. Luo Tu carriers transported human and allied fleets across distant star systems, and Luo Zhaoyangdong, its business specialist, became increasingly enthusiastic as humanity accepted hundreds of missions and generated steady transportation demand. 316 321

During the Milky Way cleanup operation, the civilization acted as a political and financial intermediary for humanity. It provided transportation advice, loans secured by mission points, and lobbying services that helped humanity obtain a recalculation of mission rewards. In return, it received major payments and debt repayments in Silver Coins. 342 355 367

For roughly a thousand years, Luo Tu pursued permission to become a Level 6 civilization. It met the stated conditions and paid 1.6 trillion Silver Coins to the Silver Alliance, believing that its contributions and financial sacrifices would secure advancement. Instead, the Creator Civilizations assigned it a further task: annihilating the Gelin Nuoka Civilization, then the highest-ranked malicious civilization. 409 410

The civilization initially accepted the Gelin Nuoka mission, confident that completing it would force the Creator Civilizations to honor their promise. This confidence collapsed when the Silver Alliance Court ruled against Luo Tu in a case brought by the Five Great Level 4 Civilizations Alliance, ordering it to stop serving Human Civilization despite Luo Tu having only provided transportation services. Huo Xiyu concluded that the Creator Civilizations did not regard Luo Tu as an equal partner and abandoned the Gelin Nuoka operation. 414 415

Human Civilization then approached Luo Tu with a plan to leave the Silver Alliance. Luo Tu tested humanity by requiring it to declare war on the Blue Mountain Civilization and survive an initial attack. Human Civilization demonstrated its unusual industrial capacity by rapidly transforming a desolate planet at RY-6659, while Luo Tu prepared migration-related procurement and logistics arrangements. 419 420

Luo Tu publicly declared war on the Blue Mountain Civilization in defense of Human Civilization and against injustice within the Silver Alliance. Its fleets annihilated more than two million warships of the Five Great Level 4 Civilizations Alliance without losing a single warship, cleared surveillance equipment from human-controlled systems, and established communication jamming around Human territory. 427

The Blue Mountain war escalated into a prolonged conflict across thousands of light-years. Luo Tu’s internal divisions became visible, while Huo Xiyu’s leadership treated major losses as a necessary price for the civilization’s larger plan. As its territory fell, Luo Tu secretly evacuated high-value individuals by space carrier, used clone replacements and internal conflict to conceal the evacuation, and allowed the Blue Mountain Civilization to believe that it had annihilated the Luo Tu people. 432 433 435

Tens of thousands of years later, Huo Xiyu was awakened from hibernation as Human Civilization shared black-hole observational data with Luo Tu and Gelin Nuoka. Luo Tu ultimately reached Level 6 and joined Human, Gelin Nuoka, and Wan Yue Civilizations in a coordinated alliance against the Creator Civilizations. 478 486 487

Society and Culture

• Luo Tu people are generally short, stout, and black-skinned; Huo Xiyu is notably slimmer than average and has black skin with a metallic golden sheen. 367 409
• Their architecture favors extremely tall, sharp, angular structures resembling swords piercing the sky. 409
• The Sword Palace, Luo Tu’s political center, contains the tallest building in its territory and Huo Xiyu’s office. 415
• Luo Tu society was distinguished among Level 5 civilizations by its ambition, research potential, and refusal to simply preserve the existing status quo. 408 409
• After the failure of its Level 6 promotion attempt, the government deliberately reduced public emphasis on dreams and advancement, encouraging citizens to enjoy the material abundance available to a Level 5 civilization instead. 415

Capabilities & Resources

Interstellar Transportation

The Luo Tu Civilization operated Level 5 space carriers for long-distance transport, making it a major logistics provider for lower-level civilizations.

• Its carriers could travel at one hundred times the speed of light. 316
• Human Civilization leased Luo Tu carriers to transport 10,000 Stardust-class battleships and supplies during the WE-224 operation. 316
• It transported fleets from multiple civilizations during humanity’s rapid mission-taking campaign. 321
• A court order temporarily forced it to cease transportation services for Human Civilization. 414
• Its relatively small 10-million-ton carrier could not replace the need for Luo Tu’s larger transport fleet. 367

Commercial and Political Brokerage

Luo Tu pursued profit aggressively through loans, transport contracts, political influence, and strategic public statements.

• It refused Human Civilization’s attempt to use core civilizational interests as loan collateral, avoiding direct exposure to lower-level wars. 355
• It helped lobby for humanity’s cleanup-operation rewards in exchange for a substantial Silver Coin payment. 367
• It publicly demonstrated friendly relations with Human Civilization to delay foreign mediation efforts after being offered 2 billion Silver Coins. 399
• It raised prices for human orders after accumulating the Silver Coin requirement it believed necessary for Level 6 promotion. 409

Level 5 Military Power

Luo Tu possessed a decisive technological advantage over Level 4 fleets.

• Its weapons outperformed Level 4 kinetic, guided, energy, and mine-based systems in both survivability and destructive power. 427
• It destroyed over two million Level 4 alliance warships, including their support vessels and bases, without losing a warship. 427
• It deployed large-scale detection sweeps and communication jamming across Human-controlled star systems. 427
• Its conflict with the equally advanced Blue Mountain Civilization became a massive, attritional Level 5 war involving sabotage, infiltration, massacres, and star-system losses. 432 435

Scientific Development

Luo Tu retained stronger independent research capacity than most Level 5 civilizations.

• It was one of the few Level 5 civilizations that had advanced largely through its own technological development. 409
• It offered Human Civilization a complete set of Dark Energy Theory data, though humanity declined in order to preserve its own research and innovation capacity. 431
• After escaping the Silver Alliance, it received Human Civilization’s observational and technological data to support its own Level 6 advancement. 478 486

Relationships
