Sitting cross-legged, Su Changfa said, "You know that I graduated from the Colonization University of the Imperium of True Human Beings. The main research field of the Colonization University is the expansion of the territory of the Imperium of True Human Beings and the colonization and conquest of various Sectors. Today, I will teach you some of my experience.
"Tell me, Li Yao. What do you think is the most important and precious resource in the universe?"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and replied, "Spiritual energy? Mother lodes? Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures? I'm afraid that it is not as simple as that, right? "
"Exactly."
Su Changfa smiled. "Spiritual energy, mother lodes, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are important, but without the other two resources, their value cannot be maximized.
"Let me tell you something. In the boundless universe, the most important resources are time and information.
"Time means the possibility of development, and information means the direction of development.
"Let me give you the simplest example. Right now, the Imperium of True Human Beings and the Xing Yao Federation are in a hostile state. A fleet of the Imperium that is far more capable than the Federation is marching toward you!
"If the expedition fleet of the Imperium can appear before you instantly, the Federation will barely be able to resist it. You will certainly fail!
"It is a pity that the almost infinite sea of stars is the best barrier in itself. It will take at least a hundred years for the expedition fleet to appear before you, and unfortunately, you have learned the information that the expedition army is coming.
"Then, in the next hundred years, you will be able to carry out targeted development and evolution. When the expedition fleet does arrive, the outcome of the battle will be unpredictable!
"This is the importance of the precious resource known as' time '," said Meng Chao.
"The reason why it will take a hundred years for the expedition fleet to arrive is because it does not know the specific coordinates of you!
"Time and information complement each other and influence each other. They decide how far a civilization can go and how strong it can become!
"Therefore, in the contact, communication, and even competition between different civilizations, the key to victory is how to hide and disguise one's own information and collect the enemy's information as much as possible!
"In the Colonization University of the Imperium, there is a motto that has been passed on for almost a thousand years. Do not underestimate the natives of any planet. No matter how underdeveloped and weak they seem, do not reveal any information about us in front of the natives before you are absolutely safe!
"The locals are all very dangerous. Once they learn our information, together with the hundreds of years they have earned from the space barrier, who knows how far they can develop and how much trouble they can cause for the Imperium!"
"Look, I'm the best example."
Su Changfa pointed at himself and said with a bitter smile, "It doesn't matter if I tell you the truth. When we explore the Sectors where the local civilizations are, we have a whole set of procedures that are as precise as the last detail. We can completely melt ourselves into the local worlds and collect the critical information so that we can estimate the level of the local civilizations accurately. After we make sure that they are 'harmless', we will decide what to do next."
"If we had arrived at the Flying Star Sector directly, you wouldn't have noticed us at all before we launched a thunderous attack!
"Hehe. It was exactly because we landed at the relic of the Pangu civilization, which was very far away from the Flying Star Sector, and because we were overwhelmed by the primeval battlefield that we were fooled by your disguise and caused irreversible consequences.
"It is obvious that the cunningness of the natives has nothing to do with the level of the civilization. Even the most underdeveloped natives might have such shameless, cunning, and ruthless people as you who can ambush the explorers from more advanced civilizations!"
Li Yao coughed and said, "Thank you!"
With a solemn face, Su Changfa said, "During the conquest and expansion in the past thousand years, the Imperium of True Human Beings has gradually concluded the standardized procedures to explore a brand-new world. There are four main steps, which are infiltration, observation, interference, and teleportation!
"The first step is infiltration. We will disguise ourselves as the locals and blend into the local civilization seamlessly. This is the most important step. We must not let the enemy know of our existence.
"In the universe where resources are limited, there are no absolutely benevolent civilizations. We have to assume that every civilization is malicious in the beginning in order to ensure our own safety as much as possible.
"The presumption of innocence does not apply in such a place.
"Let's assume that a civilization is malicious first. Then, with that as the starting point, we will observe the population, resources, armament, and high-end combat ability of the civilization in the dark. Eventually, we will determine whether or not the civilization is capable of imposing its' malice 'on us and what price we will have to pay when we impose' malice 'on them!
"This is the second step, observation.
"Generally speaking, the Sectors that are worth investing a lot of time and resources in 'observation' all boast a certain level of capability. They are not so easy to be conquered in their 'home field'.
"Then, we will reach the third step, interference.
"By 'interference', we will mobilize the resources inside the Sector with the abilities of the explorers themselves and enter a meaningless state of internal friction.
"For example, we can instigate the internal strife of the experts of the civilization with the magical equipment that is several eras ahead of the civilization.
"For example, we can instigate a civil war between the ambitious warlords of the civilization and the government that dominates the civilization.
"For example, we can release plagues and crystal processor viruses. We can even summon a 'minor apocalypse' from the homeland of the Imperium, which will cast the civilization into incessant natural disasters.
"All in all, before the army of the Imperium arrives, we will try our best to exhaust the capability of the civilization and disrupt or even strangle their path of evolution!
"The riot of the Immortal Cultivators that broke out in the Flying Star Sector was a kind of 'interference'. By establishing the Temple of Immortals and instigating the ambitions of Yan Xibei and Xiao Xuance, the development of the Flying Star Sector was significantly slowed down. We have even entered the fourth step, 'teleportation'!
"It was supposed to be a textbook example of the colonization of the Imperium. But at the last moment, you showed up and disrupted it, turning it into a pot of half-cooked rice!
"Right. There is still the fourth step, 'teleportation', which is to establish a space gate and transmit the coordinates of the destination so that the army of the homeland can jump over instantly!
"It seems to be the easiest step, but there are still a lot of details on how to build a space gate, where to build it, and so on. Every detail is knowledge!
"Infiltration, observation, interference, and teleportation seem to be arduous tasks, but because the explorers who are sent out as space explorers are usually experts in the Yuanying level, they are always the best experts in whichever Sector they are in. It is not difficult for them to break into the core circle of the enemy. With a few tricks, they can easily claim a Sector!"
The more Li Yao listened, the more shocked he became. He said, one word after another, "Do not compare the Federation to the Imperium. What you want is conquest, and what we want is integration! We are going out to look for allies. If they are unwilling to join the big family of the Federation, we will definitely not force them! "
"Integration and conquest are just two translations of the same meaning."
Su Changfa smiled and said casually, "The reason why you chose the so-called 'integration' is because you have too little time. Only a hundred years, and your remote attack and troop projection abilities are too weak to cross a million lightyears to conquer a new Sector. Even if you manage to conquer it, you will not be able to digest and absorb it!
"If you boast a super fleet such as the Imperium and have hundreds of years to digest and absorb it slowly, when a plump new Sector is presented to you, and the locals on it are arrogant enough to show off their strength and refuse to 'integrate' with you, will you use the tiniest force to 'accelerate the progress of their civilization'?"
Li Yao shut his mouth and did not bother to discuss the hypothetical questions with Su Changfa, an unrepentant Immortal Cultivator.
"Even if you are truly so 'innocent', 'infiltration' and 'observation' are two steps that are absolutely necessary. Come and learn the essence of the Imperial Colonization University!"
Su Changfa sighed and said, "Although I can't wait to mince you into pieces, I do not want to see you fall into the hands of the locals deep inside the dark nebula so that they can exploit the information in your every brain cell!"
"Why?"
Li Yao scratched his nose and asked.
"Didn't I say it just now?"
Su Changfa squinted at him. "The destruction of the Xing Yao Federation has nothing to do with me at all. But the critical thing is that you have not only the information about yourself but also a lot of information about the Imperium of True Human Beings!
"If a very powerful, malicious civilization does exist deep inside the dark nebula, after it swallows the Xing Yao Federation, it will certainly parse a lot of information about the Imperium of True Human Beings. Do you think it will let go of the Imperium by then?
"Or rather, after all the information is exploited from your brain, chances are that the first thing it will swallow will be the Imperium instead of the Federation.
"After all, the Imperium is a hundred times more 'plentiful' than the Federation. For the predators in the universe, it is much more attractive!"
Li Yao chuckled. "So to speak, it is possible that our exploration operation will be a burden to the Imperium?"
"Yes."
Su Changfa glared at him coldly.
"Then, I'm truly sorry. My apologies!"
Li Yao said unapologetically.
"You don't need to apologize."
Su Changfa sighed and said, "Just follow me and learn the essence of colonization that the Imperium has accumulated over a thousand years. For the Imperium, I hope that your exploration operation will be a smooth and successful one!"
