" Guan Sengping, we have brought the technology tree. Now, let's make the exchange. Release the antimatter star and hand it over to us for control."
"General Hu Yu, I know you have many talented people. Just as you don't trust me, I don't trust you either. I suggest we exchange things little by little. You give us some technology first, and I'll give you an antimatter star."
"This Guan Sengping is indeed cunning. If that's the case, wouldn't we really have to give him some technology?" Wen Zhonghua asked.
" Guan Sengping, the value of these things is negligible compared to our technology. Exchanging them one by one is impossible. First, we'll use fourth-dimensional space attack technology and positioning technology to exchange for two antimatter stars. Second, we'll use Anti-Space technology, Third Energy, and fifth-dimensional technology to exchange for five more. Third, we'll use Reversed State technology and two-dimensional technology to exchange for three more."
"Agreed. First, we'll provide the antimatter star, then you provide the technology. Second, you provide the technology, then we'll provide the antimatter star. Third, the process is the same as the first."
"No, no matter what step we take, you must give us the antimatter star first, Guan Sengping. You have no right to bargain. Even if we get your antimatter star, our chances of survival will only increase to five percent. If you accept the technology but don't give us the antimatter star, we will have no hope left. We are in dire straits now. Don't try to negotiate with a civilization that is teetering on the brink of death. If it weren't for this five percent chance, we wouldn't even bother with you."
"Alright, if I find out you're playing tricks, I'll help the Fish Horse Star Civilization eliminate you beforehand."
"It's a pleasure doing business with you."
The Fish Horse Star Civilization remained silent; the situation here was already settled. Du Ka was busy figuring out how to cleanly and efficiently eliminate the Dark Moon Civilization. Three days had already passed. Due to the support of the Dark Moon Civilization Yun San Civilization, and the fact that Hu Yu was holding back the Fish Horse Star Civilization, the war there was temporarily put on hold.
Moreover, Guan Sengping had already reached an agreement with the Fish Horse Star Civilization, allowing him to successfully acquire Hu Yu's technology tree. In return, he helped the Fish Horse Star Civilization eliminate the Dark Moon Civilization and Hu Yu.
Guan Sengping still wanted to absorb the technology of the Dark Moon Civilization, while Du Ka didn't really want to hand over the technology tree. The First Leader was already furious, and if he were to ask the base for the technology tree again, the First Leader would definitely kill him. The negotiations between the parties continued, and three days were simply not enough. It dragged on until Wen Zhonghua came out of the Secondary Universe. Guan Sengping and Du Ka's little schemes were still not finished. The joint fleet composed of Great Star Region Advanced Civilization was not as easy to annex as Hu Yu's.
"Boss, we're here." Just as Hu Yu was exchanging the first two antimatter stars with Guan Sengping, Number One quietly sent a message.
"You little brat, why did it take you so long to get here!"
"Chief of the General Staff, we had to take care of something else, so we're a little late, but isn't this perfect? What do you need us to do?"
"Remain in the fourth dimension, sealing off this 0.5 light-year-long four-dimensional space."
"Such a vast area, and we only have a trillion warships? That might be a bit difficult."
"What? You only have one trillion? Your boss said you have two trillion! You little bastards, come here right now, or I'll beat your asses to a pulp!"
"We've already tried our best, but even two trillion isn't enough. There are still many warships from the Fish Horse Star Civilization and some junk ships here. Our fleet is simply not enough to feed them."
"Alright, Number One, you don't need to completely seal off the fourth dimension. You just need to stop the energy of the fourth dimension from continuing to pour into the three-dimensional space after the war breaks out. That is, destroy the connection point of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. Also, I will give you a signal in a moment. After you receive it, immediately send part of your fleet into the three-dimensional universe to destroy the Justice League's fleet defending the antimatter stars and seize the last three antimatter stars."
"No problem, boss, don't worry."
The first step of the exchange was successfully completed, and Hu Yu had already acquired the two antimatter stars. The second step involved exchanging five more antimatter stars, Guan Sengping received a genuine technology tree—a technology related to fourth-dimensional positioning and Space Decomposition. Guan Sengping's eyes widened in amazement; this was exactly the technology he needed.
Even with four-dimensional positioning technology, Guan Sengping was extremely envious. The technology he was currently using was derived from the analysis of higher-level insects, and its positioning method was completely different from that of technological civilizations. Insect swarm positioning required the help of large-scale movements in the three-dimensional universe, and even after improvements by Li Shun's scientists, this positioning method was still very backward.
Hu Yu's four-dimensional positioning method, however, utilizes the spatial frequency of the three-dimensional universe and the precise coordinates of celestial bodies. This positioning method is highly advanced and accurate, allowing fleets to descend from the fourth dimension to any point in the three-dimensional universe, which greatly aids in warfare.
Therefore, Guan Sengping was even more excited about the Anti-Space technology, the Third Energy, and the fifth-dimensional technology. Although Hu Yu had already stated in the list that these three technologies were only half-finished products, Guan Sengping couldn't wait to read the introductions of these three technologies, especially the Third Energy, which involved the rules of the universe. This was practically like Great Star Region Civilization launching a dimensional reduction attack on Planetary-Level Civilization.
Guan Sengping the "lifeline" concept; these antimatter stars were Hu Yu's lifeline. Guan Sengping believed that Hu Yu was unlikely to pull any tricks because Hu Yu needed to use these antimatter stars to fight against the Fish Horse Star Civilization. However, Guan Sengping did not know that Hu Yu did not actually need these antimatter stars to fight against the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
Hu Yu did this because these antimatter stars contain far too much energy. If these antimatter stars were to explode, it would definitely affect the attack effectiveness of the two-dimensional fragments. To be on the safe side, and to mislead Guan Sengping and the Fish Horse Star Civilization, Hu Yu requested to exchange technology for antimatter stars this time.
The second batch of five stars was moved by Guan Sengping from the Secondary Universe entrance and exit to the airspace designated by Hu Yu. The Conqueror were already waiting to receive them. Once they got their hands on these antimatter stars, Guan Sengping would have nothing more to do. The technology of Anti-Space and Third Energy would definitely not be given to them.
Guan Sengping was no pushover either. His hundreds of billions of ragtag fleets narrowed their distribution area, subtly encircling Hu Yu. Once the technology exchange was complete, Guan Sengping was prepared to open fire and eliminate Hu Yu. Because at this point, Hu Yu's Conqueror was still not two-dimensional, Guan Sengping's fleet was already very dense. As long as these warships released their energy, even if Hu Yu had two-dimensionalized, he wouldn't be able to escape.
