Chapter 816: See the wind to make the rudder

Views:

Among the many advanced civilizations of the Galactic Alliance, the Masons are definitely an alternative. This is, the Masons have been devoted to scientific research in the past thousands of years. Although they are recognized as advanced civilizations, their knowledge in science and technology is far inferior to other advanced civilizations in other respects. In fact, it is its advanced science and technology that allows other civilizations of the Galaxy Alliance to recognize and understand the Masons.

Although when they came to the Southern Alpha Galaxy, the Masons were no different from other civilizations. Thousands of them escaped the Milky Way by chance and reached the Southern Alpha Galaxy after 10,000 years of voyage. To be precise, they were the Masons who fled the Milky Way. Human descendants were already hungry and cold when they arrived in the Southern Alpha Galaxy, and could no longer hold on to it. But compared with other surviving civilizations, the Masons are a little different, or have a huge advantage, that is, several human scientists who fled with the Masons are still alive, and these scientists brought them with them when they left the galaxy. Most of the scientific and technological achievements of mankind in the second era have been preserved, and they are stored on the spaceship of the Mason tribe. Although many technical materials were destroyed in the ensuing rebellion, a few precious technical materials were preserved and handed over to the Masons.

However, the Masons at that time were very weak and not strong at all.

Subsequently, during the First Greenwich War, the native star system of the Mason tribe was invaded. Although in the subsequent counterattack, the Galactic Alliance's Legion regained all lost ground and the Masons returned to their home planet, but the Masons who suffered heavy losses did not recover quickly. As a result, when the war against the three first-class civilizations broke out, the Masons did not participate.

However, the Masons are also a blessing in disguise.

Quite simply, if the Mason clan participated in that war, the ending would definitely be very tragic, because apart from the four second-rate top civilizations, including the Kunyang clan, all other civilizations were destroyed by the hidden spirit clan. More importantly, after the war subsided, in order to maintain the stability of the Galactic Alliance, the Holy Emperor of Light not only recognized the status of the four second-rate top civilizations, but also promoted and cultivated many powerful civilizations, including the Masons. . It was after this that the Galactic Alliance began to position civilizations by classifying them. Although the original purpose of the Holy Emperor of Light was to win over those civilizations with some strength and achieve the purpose of contending and limiting the four second-rate top civilizations, no one can deny that advanced civilizations such as the Mason tribe have therefore become the current system of the Galactic Alliance. Of vested interests.

However, the Mason clan at this time is no longer the Mason clan when they first came to the Southern Alpha Galaxy.

For the Masons, the biggest loss suffered in the First Greenwich War was not the fall of the home planet, nor was it the tens of thousands of people suffering from the war, but the loss of tradition. The point is that before the fall of the home planet, the Masons did not have time to send away precious scientific and technological data and historical documents. Although with the help of other civilizations, the Masons regained their home planet, they also permanently lost these things from the Second Age that carry the traditions and beliefs of the Masons. What's more terrible is that most of the surviving Masons are civilians, and the Masons who understand these materials, especially the history of the Second Age, are very few.

Because it was regarded as a high-level civilization by the Holy Emperor of Light, the Mason Clan became the most loyal partner of the Hidden Spirit Clan after that.

However, this relationship has only been maintained for less than a thousand years.

After the end of the Second Greenwich War, with the decline of the Hidden Spirits and the rise of the Star Weavers, the Mason tribe quickly took refuge in the Star Weavers and became the iron ally of the Star Weavers. It's just that the Masons still refused to admit that they had betrayed the Hidden Spirits, but instead believed that they were betrayed by the Hidden Spirits. That is, in the Second Greenwich War, the Hidden Spirits did not respond to the request of the Masons, and did not send troops to rescue the Masons when they were attacked. Instead, they arrived first and helped the Masons defeat the invading Silicon Magic army. Star Clan Legion. Because it was believed that the Star Weavers were the truly reliable allies, the Masons fell into the arms of the Star Weavers after the end of the Second Greenwich War.

Of course, this is not the end.

More than two thousand years later, during the Fifth Greenwich War, the Masons once again changed their tracks, repeating the scene after the Second Greenwich War.

However, it was not the Hidden Spirit Race that was betrayed this time, but the Star Weaver Race.

As for the reasons for taking refuge in the Leiling clan, the Mason clan did not give a clear statement.

Of course, this is enough to prove that the Masons are a two-sided civilization, and it is impossible to follow a certain top civilization forever.

Of course, there is no denying that the Masons have indeed gained a lot of benefits.

When they took refuge in the Hidden Spirits, the Masons not only gained the status of top-level civilization, but also obtained a lot of precious resources through cooperation with the Hidden Spirits. They successfully completed the post-war reconstruction, restored their vitality, and laid a solid foundation for the next development. Base. If there was no support and help from the Hidden Spirit Race at that time, even if the Mason Race could recover, it would take more time, and it would be impossible to achieve a faster development speed than other civilizations.

Subsequently, the Masons followed the Star Weavers and won two Greenwich Wars. Although the military strength of the Masons has been negligible, their contributions in other areas are indelible. In the past thousand years, the Masons have not only consolidated the status of advanced civilization, but also obtained many substantial benefits. For example, the star system under their jurisdiction has increased by hundreds of times, basically solving the problem of living space and living materials. In fact, many people think that the Masons originally joined the Star Weavers because they were unable to obtain more star systems under the rule of the Hidden Spirits and must rely on other civilizations. The Star Weavers promised to let the Masons get more stars. Many star systems. In fact, it was during these thousand years that the Mason tribe became a truly advanced civilization. In addition to the lack of military strength, other aspects have reached the level of advanced civilization. It is precisely through these thousand years of rapid development that the Masons have laid a solid foundation.

However, this also makes the ambitions of the Mason tribe swell rapidly.

If it is said that they joined the Star Weavers for development, then before the outbreak of the Fifth Greenwich War, the Masons took the initiative to embrace the Lei Ling clan. However, the Masons gained the least benefits in this Greenwich War, at least not so obvious. At the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the Masons had only acquired dozens of star systems, and they were all in remote areas without precious resources. Because there has never been a strong military force, and other advanced civilizations have grown rapidly during the war, the Masons’ status in the Galactic Alliance has not risen, but declined, almost losing its status as an advanced civilization.

Because of this, even the intelligence agencies of the Hidden Spirits believed that the Masons were extremely dissatisfied with the Leiling tribe, at least very dissatisfied with the Wanluo War Emperor. Therefore, after the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the Masons did not rely on Leiling again. The Ling clan, at least did not become a hard-core ally of the Lei Ling clan. Continue to interact with the Lei Ling clan, it is only because the Wanluo warlord is the overlord of the Galactic Alliance, and the Mason tribe is not strong enough to fight the Wanluo warlord, and there is no civilization in the Galactic Alliance that can support the Mason against Lei Ling clan. In the absence of other options, even if the Mason clan is extremely dissatisfied with the Leiling clan, they have to maintain a friendly relationship with the Leiling clan.

Affected by this, the intelligence agencies of the Hidden Spirits do not pay much attention to the Masons.

Of course, for the Mason family, the hidden spirits intelligence agency can be said to be very clear.

The Masons can become a high-level civilization, and they can stand for thousands of years without falling, and they can steadily develop and grow. It is not because of the wind that makes the rudder to rely on the top civilization, but has always insisted on developing science and technology. In other words, the most abundant capital of the Masons is advanced science and technology.

In fact, this is also the key to other civilizations not daring to offend the Masons.

Take the Human Federation as an example. Although the relationship with the Mason tribe has been very general for thousands of years, and it can even be said that it has always been dissatisfied with the Mason tribe, the Human Federation has never regarded the Mason tribe as an enemy, and has not taken the initiative to provoke the Mason tribe. Quite simply, the Human Federation needs to import technology from the Masons. To put it more directly, during several Greenwich Wars, especially the Fifth Greenwich War, the Human Federation once asked the Masons for help, hoping that the Masons could provide necessary help, such as military technology used to arm the human legion, so that mankind The Federation was able to block the mighty Silicon Magic army before other civilizations sent troops, but the response was unexpected. The Masons not only rejected the request of the Human Federation, but also evacuated all technical personnel for safety reasons when the homeland galaxy was under siege. , Terminated all technical cooperation with the Human Federation. As a result, many military factories of the Human Federation can only be suspended, and many advanced weapons and equipment development projects have been forced to discontinue. When the Beacon Star offensive and defensive battle started, the human army could only use many weapons that were used during the Fourth Greenwich War and then sealed up to fight against the Simei army armed to the teeth. However, after the war, the Human Federation still took the initiative to restore diplomatic relations with the Masons, because the Human Federation needed the advanced technology of the Masons to complete the post-war reconstruction. As for the previous treachery of the Mason tribe, the human federation can only choose to forget it.

Obviously, the achievements of the Masons in the field of science and technology come from human beings, those human scientists of the second era.

It's just that few Masons are willing to admit this, or that not many Masons believe that everything they have now comes from human scientists. In fact, few people in the entire Mason clan are willing to admit to the past. Almost all Masons believe that this is an achievement they have achieved through hard work, and has nothing to do with other civilizations, let alone a backward and weak human federation.

So, how advanced is the Mason’s technology
