However, Li Xingkong Li Xingkong n't sure if this data storage method could fool the group from the Sihali Kingdom, since his understanding of them was indeed limited.
Due to the circumstances, Earth Star's current strength can only be considered third-rate within the framework of the Convention. It is not yet capable of resisting these major powers and advanced civilizations.
Fortunately, after the teleportation station opened, Earth Star gained some understanding of the situation in this surrounding star field through contact with the surrounding civilizations.
Although Divine Land has not yet left the Solar System and appears somewhat weak, it is still slightly superior to the extraterrestrials who come and go from Divine Land.
Frankly speaking, based on the intelligence gathered so far, none of the surrounding civilizations are even close enough to defeat Earth Star.
Even so, the territories occupied by these civilizations were vast enough, ranging from a few star systems to dozens.
After making comparisons, Divine Land has a general understanding of its current position in the universe.
If we don't count Li Xingkong, the overall level of Divine Land is currently only at the upper level of level 5, close to level 4. If we grit our teeth and include the new powerful weapons we have developed since we started cultivating, Earth Star can now be considered to be able to compete with level 4 civilizations.
If Li Xingkong is included, then it's definitely at least level 4. In fact, due to Li Xingkong's super endurance and mobility, he is far more dangerous than some level 4 civilizations' ultimate weapons.
Whether it's a fleet from another civilization or a colossal weapon capable of destroying the world, it requires a large number of personnel to operate and ample energy support to function. Whether it's setting out or launching an attack, the scale and momentum are considerable.
Li Xingkong, on the other hand, was a lone individual, free to come and go as he pleased, attracting no attention, and capable of devastating an entire planet with a single move.
The fleets were like soldiers arrayed in battle formation, while Li Xingkong was like a stealthy assassin. Although both possessed formidable combat abilities, for a civilization, the assassin was far more deadly.
Having recognized their own advantages, Divine Land did not feel too humiliated by the visit of the Sihali Kingdom.
Instead of trying to guard against these visitors, I should focus on making further progress in my own field of study.
Strength is the most important thing; without strength, you can only be slaughtered by others.
Just as Divine Land is collecting data and technology from all the aliens who visit Divine Land, so what if the people of the Sihali Kingdom openly collect Divine Land's technology under the guise of investigation?
There is no way to counter them until we have the strength to do so.
Baili Qiu's plan was quickly implemented, and Divine Land also dispatched a legion of cultivators to participate. After receiving the wristwatches, they began to monitor the entire Solar System.
Of course, the inspection wouldn't start directly with the few planets actually controlled by Divine Land. After all, the testing wristband is alien technology, so it's better to have a general understanding of it first before using it on our own territory.
The cultivators' investigations began at the outer edge of Solar System Solar System system, gradually progressing inwards.
During the testing process, they also gained a general understanding of the instrument's functions and detailed data.
Throughout the inspection, the instruments remained in normal working order, and no abnormalities were detected.
The others from the Sihali Kingdom also brought no news.
The same is true for the galaxies surrounding our Solar System; the basic physical properties and galactic matter of all galaxies are perfectly normal, without any anomalies.
Baili Qiu wasn't flustered by the fact that nothing was detected; on the contrary, he wasn't surprised by the result.
The three major forces had searched for so long without finding anything, and he didn't expect to discover any clues just by casually scanning the area.
It's all about luck. If you manage to find it, that's good fortune. Even if the major powers get wind of it and come looking for you, you'll still get a piece of the pie. If you don't find it, you don't lose much. You've actually helped support a whole Divine Land, haven't you?
Although the help provided wasn't much, it was at least a timely help. Moreover, after exploring for the past few days, it's clear that Divine Land has considerable potential. If given more opportunities to develop, it's only a matter of time before it joins the ranks of fourth-tier civilizations.
While everyone else was busy, Baili Qiu and Li Xingkong had some free time.
After all, Baili Qiu doesn't need to do information gathering himself. Similarly, it would be a waste of Li Xingkong's talents to do this kind of task. It's more important to keep an eye on Baili Qiu.
With nothing else to do during their free time, the two of them joined in watching the great battle on Venus.
Although a battle involving 4,000 people is not considered a large-scale war in StarCraft, for individuals, once the number of participants in a war reaches a certain scale, the number itself becomes less significant.
As an ordinary soldier, no matter how large the battlefield is, when it comes down to his individual size, he only has a few, or even a dozen, opponents to face.
Therefore, although the battlefield was not large in scale, it was sufficient for training troops.
The first battle was over that same day. Both sides of the alien mercenaries suffered similar casualties, with only a dozen or so remaining on one side ultimately securing victory.
Although the battle was chaotic, it ignited the fighting spirit of the aliens watching, and the spots for the second, third, and subsequent battles were quickly filled.
During this period of free time, Li Xingkong and Baili Qiu watched quite a few large-scale battlefields.
The more Li Xingkong observed the battle, the more details he discovered. Many of the aliens exhibited a clear system of mutual restraint, and even with weapons, this restraint remained extremely deadly. Despite this, these alien civilizations were still able to coexist.
Logically speaking, civilizations that are natural enemies would usually annex each other in the course of conflict; who would complain about having too small a territory?
But reality is not like that, which left Li Xingkong somewhat puzzled.
However, with Baili Qiu by his side, Li Xingkong didn't dwell on these questions. He didn't understand them himself, but Baili Qiu had been in the universe for so long that he should understand the principle.
Baili Qiu simply smiled in response to Li Xingkong's question.
"What do you think is the determining factor in the size of a civilization's territory in StarCraft?"
"Hmm, is it Convention demarcation? A military takeover? Or is it about the overall strength of civilization?"
Li Xingkong guessed that these were the main reasons.
" The Convention's demarcation is clearly impossible; there are countless Convention states, and even the three major powers can't manage such detailed jurisdictions. In this universe, expanding territory still requires military force."
"How far does a civilization's territory expand before it reaches its limit? Naturally, it expands until it encounters an equally matched opponent."
Baili Qiu gave a brief description.
"Look at this battlefield, those seemingly evenly matched guys, aren't they fighting the fiercest? That's because there's friction between their civilizations."
"But those civilizations that seem to have a natural relationship of restraint are different. They either don't accept land transfers, or they are puppet states supported by neighboring civilizations as the first line of defense."
"There are too many species in the universe, and the relationships of restraint between species can be very absolute, easily leading to a situation similar to the game of Animal Chess."
"Cats eat mice, wolves eat cats, lions eat wolves, elephants eat lions, and mice prey on elephants. This complex chain of restraint is not uncommon in the universe. Therefore, many civilizations intentionally support puppet civilizations around their own civilization. These puppet civilizations are mostly races that they completely subjugate."
"Through these puppet civilizations, they isolated themselves from other unknown civilizations, thus preventing them from encountering civilizations that were their natural adversaries."
"They may seem like natural enemies, but in reality, the relationship between civilizations is closer than one might imagine."
