"How's it going? Didn't I scare you just now?" General Du Wen turned to look at Zhou Yang and asked with a smile.
"No!" Zhou Yang shook his head, met General Du Wen's gaze, and asked curiously: "General, are we okay with their attitude? Will they...!"
In a month, Zhou Yang had a general understanding of the Federation Interstellar Civilization Exchange Center. This is a place where humans receive alien civilizations. In order not to cause panic among the people, alien civilizations can only not contact outside humans.
With the expansion of human civilization in the Milky Way, various extraterrestrial forces in the Milky Way have appeared in human sight and have been discovered or discovered. Human civilization has become a normal force in the Milky Way with its huge population and rapid technological development. The rapid rise of technological civilization.
In the past, human civilization would have been suppressed or even eliminated by other intelligent alien civilizations. However, the emergence of a world-destroying civilization like the Dark Zerg in the center of the galaxy has seriously threatened the survival of all intelligent civilizations. Alien civilizations have no time to take care of human beings. rise.
As the interstellar war progressed, the Galactic Alliance discovered that the power of the Dark Zerg could not be suppressed, so it eagerly wanted human civilization to participate to divert their war pressure.
The Galactic Alliance has no time to care for itself and cannot suppress the rise of human civilization, so it can only cooperate. Various alien civilizations from the Milky Way continue to gather here to communicate with human civilization.
"Let's go! This is not the place to talk about this!" General Du Wen smiled slightly, glanced at the various alien civilizations around them that were paying attention to them, and turned to leave.
With Zhou Xing's current status, the federal government's external political approach must refer to his attitude. However, Zhou Yang's background is not small, and General Du Wen has to take it seriously.
Zhou Yang quickly followed General Du Wen and walked towards the human office area.
There were various alien creatures along the way, including the Morians from the Morro Galaxy, and the Hill Stars from the Hill Galaxy... With flattering smiles on their faces, they all greeted General Du Wen.
General Du Wen looked at the other party and nodded lightly without stopping too much. The unceremonious attitude of these alien creatures showed the current status of human civilization.
Soon, General Du Wen took Zhou Yang into a sightseeing elevator, and the elevator took them up slowly.
Looking down at the nearly 10,000-square-meter communication hall below, various alien creatures are queuing up to register, some are watching news about human society in front of the holographic screen, and some are communicating in twos and threes... The scene is very spectacular and novel.
"Thanks to your father, otherwise they wouldn't be so honest." General Du Wen looked at Zhou Yang and praised with a smile.
"My father?" Zhou Yang was slightly stunned, somewhat incomprehensible.
"Yes!" General Du Wen nodded, looked at Zhou Yang, and asked with a smile: "Do you know the history of the establishment of the Interstellar Exchange Center?"
"Of course, the Interstellar Exchange Center was established in the 77th year of the Federation Calendar. The first official interview with the Maur Stars was held here, followed by: the Black Rock Stars, the Michelo Stars... So far, we have been with 57 alien civilizations. This center has reached nearly 50 million cooperation matters including exchanges, technology trade, leasing starships, signing cooperation agreements, etc., and the number is increasing year by year." Zhou Yang nodded and answered in detail.
"Yes, you know it in detail, but there are some things you don't understand. In fact, in the 50th year of the Federation calendar, humans began to deal with alien civilizations. However, due to their weak strength, humans are in a weak position. Being coerced and bullied is common... It wasn't until your father returned and six technological revolutions broke out that the situation slowly reversed." General Du Wen looked at Zhou Yang and explained.
Zhou Yang nodded. Even at his age, he could clearly feel the rapid development of human society.
"The Dark Zerg is a crisis for all intelligent life, but it can also be said to be a rare opportunity for us humans. It is because of their lack of time to take care of it that we humans have the opportunity to rise safely." General Du Wen explained with a smile.
"General, as far as I know, the momentum of the Dark Zerg seems to be getting stronger and stronger. If we don't join the war in time, what if we can't suppress the Dark Zerg in the future?" Zhou Yang looked at General Du Wen in confusion and felt disturbed.
After entering the Interstellar Civilization Exchange Center, Zhou Yang learned more about the situation of the Dark Zerg from the alien creatures. It can be said that the situation of the entire Galaxy Alliance has reached a very serious point. An infinite insect wave broke out, and the coalition forces organized by the Galaxy Alliance There have been no less than thirty large-scale interstellar battles with the Dark Zerg, and almost every time they ended in defeat. Even if they won, the endless Dark Zerg would quickly organize a counterattack. The Galaxy Alliance and the Dark Zerg launched a war An extremely fierce war of attrition.
General Du Wen had a helpless expression on his face. He understood Zhou Yang's worries very well. Even though he was also very worried about this happening and hoped that humans could join the war as soon as possible, those politicians didn't think so.
With a "ding" sound, the observation elevator reached the top floor.
"This issue cannot be finalized until the federation reaches a consensus. Don't bother, let's go!" General Du Wen greeted Zhou Yang with a smile.
Zhou Yang nodded and followed closely.
As General Du Wen said, the federal government holds two completely opposite attitudes on whether to participate in the Galactic Alliance.
At the seventh meeting of the Federation, all representatives held a final referendum on participating in the Galactic Alliance. The passage of the resolution will affect the future destiny of the entire human race.
Federal Congressman Mr. Demus delivered a speech at the federal meeting: "Members of Congress, it is too early for mankind to join the Galactic Alliance. Support for the coalition can still be provided by means of arms supply, but sending troops is absolutely not possible. This level of On the battlefield, once defeated, hundreds of millions of people will die, which will be a devastating blow to our civilization... "
"I oppose Congressman Demuth's motion. First of all, we humans have never participated in large-scale battles. For the future of humanity, we must try to fight against the Dark Zerg and extract experience in interstellar warfare from fierce battles. Secondly, the Milky Way Galaxy The Alliance has no patience to wait. The lack of support from battleships and arms is by no means their most desired request. If we continue to reject the Galaxy Alliance, their attitude towards humans may change. When the time comes, punishing us in turn will be the worst possible situation. ." Federal Congressman Li Jianming expressed his opposition.
"No! At this critical moment, the Galactic Alliance will never provoke our opponent again. It is a very dangerous act to rashly join the war. We should continue to wait and see..."
"According to the existing intelligence analysis, our fleet is by no means a match for the Dark Zerg. The Dark Zerg is still far away from us, and we should look for more distant colonies to transfer..."
“…”
At the federal conference, members rushed to express their opinions, each holding their own opinions, and it was impossible to reach a result recognized by many people.
The current situation of human civilization is very good. The location where the Dark Zerg broke out is located in the center of the Milky Way. It is an area where alien civilization gathers and is the home of the Galactic Alliance. The Milky Way is an oblate spheroid with a huge disk structure, composed of bright and dense It consists of a core, two main spiral arms and two unformed spiral arms. The spiral arms are 4,500 light years apart. However, the human solar system is located on the edge of the Milky Way, on the third spiral arm of the Milky Way - the Orion Arm, far from the center of the Milky Way. About 30,000 light-years.
The long and safe distance allows human civilization to temporarily obtain a certain degree of security in this interstellar race war. However, as the interstellar war progresses and faces increasing pressure from the Dark Zerg, the Galactic Alliance Gradually, they set their sights on remote and weak civilizations like humans to pass on the pressure.
The federal government has many options before it.
One is to learn from the United States in World War II. The Axis countries and the Allies were fighting fiercely, but the United States sold arms and made a lot of money because of its geographical advantages and policy advantages. In the end, it relied on its strong economic and military advantages to become a laughing stock. to the final winner.
Federal congressmen now generally want to replicate this move, sell warships to the Galaxy Alliance, and support them in their war with the Dark Zerg. At the same time, they will rapidly develop human shipbuilding capabilities and ultimately achieve the goal of strengthening human civilization.
However, the Yinhe Alliance is more urgently hoping that humans will send troops to transform the war pressure they face. Humanity's measures of only supporting and selling starships will hardly meet their demands.
The second is: send troops for reinforcements, join the Galactic Alliance, and obtain technological assistance from the Galactic Alliance to eliminate the threat of the Dark Zerg together.
Third, in the face of the huge threat of the Dark Zerg, human civilization should not participate in the Galactic Coalition, but prepare in advance to evacuate the dangerous Milky Way.
Four is…
…
Facing the fiercely controversial federal meeting, the federal president frowned, his eyes stayed on the face of Zhou Wenhua, who represented the position of the Shining Star Group, and asked: "Member Zhou, it's your turn to speak. I want to hear your proposal. "
Hearing this, the conference room suddenly fell silent, and everyone focused on Zhou Wenhua's face.
The Shining Star Group plays an important role in human society. If his proposal is approved by the majority of people, then this controversy will almost be settled.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhou Wenhua smiled and nodded. He reached out and touched the large holographic screen. The screen displayed on the large screen in the center of the conference table changed, showing a bright starry sky, densely packed space docks, and endless space. Endless spaceships shuttle back and forth.
Zhou Wenhua looked at the curtain with admiration and explained: "The progress of the Intercontinental project has reached 79%, and the curvature drive engine has achieved a major breakthrough. It is expected that all projects will be completed within three years. After three years, 12 intercontinental warships will be completed every year. With this At the same time, this number can show an increasing trend year by year... "
Hearing this, everyone's spirits trembled and they looked at the big holographic screen with bright eyes.
As Zhou Wenhua explained, the space engineering on the big screen began to be rapidly deduced. In a series of complex processes, in the starship manufacturing center with a million kilometers, intercontinental battleships flew out of the assembly line like dumplings.
Building an interstellar spacecraft is not just a simple accumulation of materials. The larger the size and mass of the spacecraft, the higher its technological content. It can be definitely said that the Intercontinental is the embodiment of all aspects of the technological tree of human civilization.
The Intercontinental project is one of the most important projects of the Human Federation. It was founded in the Blue Ocean Galaxy and is the main base for humans to build interstellar battleships. Five resource stars provide it with abundant mineral resources and adopts unmanned mechanized manufacturing methods. The top application performance of artificial intelligence in this field carries the strong self-confidence of the entire human civilization.
"Congressman Zhou, what do you mean? Dispatching the Intercontinental?" Federal Congressman Li Jianming's eyes flashed and he couldn't wait to ask Zhou Wenhua.
Zhou Wenhua smiled slightly, looked at the crowd and said: "The Intercontinental will use curvature navigation, negative matter weapons, space shields... and many other new technologies. It brings together the top scientific and technological fields of human civilization. After forming a large scale, this powerful The fleet should have a comparable opponent to test the development results of human civilization over the years. Therefore, my proposal is: send a small number of fleets to support the Galactic Alliance. At the same time, start starship trade with the Galactic Alliance and expand the scale of shipbuilding... "
After hearing this, everyone was silent for a while. Zhou Wenhua's proposal was worth considering.
Humanity dispatches the most powerful warships. This can flex its muscles and reduce the pressure from the Galactic Alliance. At the same time, it is also a good time to promote starships, and participating in the battle also satisfies the desire to fight against the Dark Zerg and improve Humanity's goals at the Star Wars level can be said to be accomplished in one fell swoop.
"The Intercontinental is mankind's most powerful battleship. If something unexpected happens... it will be a big problem!"
"This proposal is okay. It's time to flex our muscles. Otherwise, how can we improve our status in the Galaxy Alliance?"
"Fifty Intercontinental ships are being deployed, and about 10,000 warships of other models should be able to meet the requirements of the Galaxy Alliance for us."
“…”
Members of the House of Representatives started heated discussions with each other, and Zhou Wenhua's suggestions met the requirements of most people.
They were unwilling to participate in the war because they were afraid of the fighting power of the Dark Zerg and in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. However, the purpose of Zhou Wenhua's proposal to participate in the war was to test the combat effectiveness of the Intercontinental and show its strength to the alien civilizations of the Galaxy Alliance. Extraterrestrial civilization promotes the Intercontinental... The various potential meanings are in line with the huge interests of human civilization.
"Well, next, let's make a decision on Councilor Zhou's proposal!" The federal president smiled with satisfaction and looked at everyone and announced.
The members of the House of Representatives whispered for a moment, discussing something. Judging from the expressions on the faces of most members, this proposal should become the final decision-making plan.
