There was no doubt.
The proposal [Ten] put forward sent shock waves through the Central Research Institute.
Beyond their shock at the decision made by this level I artificial intelligence, the academicians shared only one response:
Accept it. They had to accept it!
After all, what better way to borrow someone else's prestige than to bring out the Homeworld Fortress of a peak level seven civilization?
What was more, that impressive symbol of power came with all kinds of advanced, cutting-edge technology!

Inside the Central Research Institute.
With that thought in mind, Lü Yongchang and the academicians signed the agreement in the name of the "Enroget Civilization."
Then, the moment the agreement took
