Hu Yu looked at the screen and saw a small warship, about 100 meters long, had reached the outer atmosphere of Earth Two. Seeing this small warship, Hu Yu couldn't help but recall when he left the Solar System. The J-90 was just as weak and vulnerable as this warship. At this moment, this small warship looked so tiny compared to the Reaper next to it.
"Let them in."
After receiving permission to pass, the small warship quickly broke through the atmosphere and arrived at the surface of Earth Two. Three humanoid beings wearing bulky spacesuits stepped out of the warship. The difference in gravity was obvious and made them feel very uncomfortable, even their walking speed was very slow.
Hu Yu instructed the guards to attach the miniature force field device to the three men and gestured for them to remove their bulky spacesuits. The three men were initially puzzled, but Yuan took off his helmet first, and the force field device immediately created an air and gravity environment suitable for them to breathe. Only then did Yang and their emperor follow suit and remove their bulky spacesuits.
The three walked forward, with Hu Yu waiting with a smile.
"Greetings, General." The three bowed using the highest level of etiquette of the Great Cang Civilization.
" Your His Majesty Great Cang, Yuan Yang, there's no need for formalities, please rise."
The three stood up, His Majesty Great Cang said, "General, on behalf of all the people of the Great Cang Civilization, I have come to thank you. If it weren't for you, we would still be living in a primitive society of slash-and-burn agriculture and constant warfare."
"You have grown rapidly, leaping from the agricultural age to Stellar-Level Civilization in just 1,500 years, several times faster than my estimate of 10,000 years."
"Thanks to Yuan Heyang."
"Your wisdom also plays a significant role; a good leader is more important than ten top scientists. However, without Yuan, your Great Cang Civilization would not have joined the Star Ring Alliance today, but would have developed freely like other Stellar-Level Civilization."
"Thank you for your kindness, General."
"You can barely be considered Stellar-Level Civilization now. Within the Star Ring Alliance, you are at the very bottom in terms of strength. Every other civilization here is far stronger than you. I can only point you in the right direction, but how you proceed is up to you."
Yes, we will strive to develop it.
"The most important factor in the development of civilization is population, including both population size and population quality. Only when both of these are improved can civilization develop healthily and rapidly. Although you have barely unified your planet, I know that there are still many different voices on the planet."
"Rest assured, General, I will eliminate the rebels as soon as possible."
"Yes, violence is the most effective way to solve problems when necessary."
"Yes."
"Your planet has just been transported here by our fleet. Now I will give you another resource-rich planet. First, you need to terraform this planet to make it suitable for your survival. The rest is up to you. You already know about the situation in the galaxy, and we will immediately send relevant scientists to assist you in solving the relevant technological problems."
"Thank you, General Great Cang Civilization will certainly not let you down."
The group left, leaving behind Hu Yu, Wen Zhonghua, Gao Jianchuan, Yang Fan, and a few others.
"General, why are you so kind to the Great Cang Civilization? Is it because they look 80% like us?" Yang Fan asked.
"No, that's not it. I want to see how long it takes for a civilization to grow into Small Star Sector Civilization by force-feeding them. If it doesn't take long, we can forcibly elevate more low-level civilizations to the Small Star Region stage. That way, even if they don't have much potential, they can still contribute to the future fight against the Insect Race. And I really admire this concept."
"Doing this goes against the principles of the Great Star Region Civilization. Won't it provoke their displeasure?"
"They've been experimenting with their methods for 2 million years without any results. There are still many low-level civilizations in the galaxy. Cultivating a few hundred or even tens of thousands of them won't have any impact. Besides, we only select from Stellar-Level Civilization. We only interfere slightly with Planetary-Level Civilization, so I'm sure the Great Star Region Civilization won't have any objections."
" The Great Cang Civilization's potential can only be considered average. The general must have deliberately chosen a civilization with this kind of potential, right?"
"That's right. If we can force the Great Cang Civilization into Small Star Sector Civilization, then civilizations with even greater potential than the Great Cang Civilization will find it even easier to become Small Star Sector Civilization."
"General, have you considered that if these civilizations suddenly jump from Stellar-Level Civilization to Small Star Sector Civilization overnight, wouldn't they be difficult to control?"
"There's no need to worry about that. We won't teach them the complete technology tree. There are some technologies they can use but don't understand the principles behind. Moreover, we'll leave backdoors where necessary. What they'll get is only incomplete technology related to warfare. We will absolutely not reveal anything else. The Star Ring Alliance will still be led by the current leaders of a few civilizations, and the lower-level civilizations they cultivate will not enter the decision-making level."
"That solves the problem. They're just a bunch of thugs at best."
"That's roughly the idea, but we've already paid this thug a high enough wage."
"General, the envoys from the Crystal Civilization have arrived," Gao Jianchuan said.
"Let's go and greet them; this is the first time the Crystal Messenger has come to our territory."
This time, the Crystal Messenger did not travel on the Terminators of the Heavenly Peak Civilization, but on another large, dazzling warship.
The warship landed on Earth Four's massive platform, and the Crystal Messenger floated out lightly.
"Crystal Messenger, welcome to the territory of Human Civilization," Hu Yu greeted him warmly.
"General, I've come to inform you of something: things may not be easy for you from now on."
What could be so serious?
"News has spread throughout the galaxy that scientists of Human Civilization have obtained a defense system for the Matter River."
"How is this possible? Our scientists are still in the Matter River and haven't returned yet. They've been out of contact for a long time now. Who spread this false information?"
"I don't know. The messenger concealed their identity. When our Crystal Civilization's leader received this message, they immediately confirmed it with me. I know your scientists have lost contact in the Matter River, General. It won't be long before the entire galaxy's civilizations know this, including the Great Star Region Civilization."
"Crystal Messenger, do you mean these civilizations will come to us humans to share this defense system?"
"It's hard to say, General. You know more about the Tree Race and the Far Watcher Civilization than we do. Now is a critical time. Even though these Great Star Region Civilization and Small Star Sector Civilization know how difficult it is to obtain that defense system in the Matter River, the possibility that they choose to trust you is not low. Even if they don't take action themselves, they will manipulate other Small Star Sector Civilization to test you."
