Lan Mu was alone. Accompanied by Nubis, he communicated with the archon of the Amon civilization through the virtual network.
On one hand, it was to say goodbye, and on the other hand, it was to form an alliance.
Under the strong recommendation of Captain Nubis, the archon stated the conditions for the formal alliance.
It was almost impossible for a level 4 civilization to become an ally of a level 5 civilization. Their entire civilization could not even compare to a spaceship of theirs, so what was the point of forming an alliance? Treating it as charity?
If not for Lan Mu saying that they had entered a technological explosion and would soon reach level 5, the archon would probably not even consider it.
"You've only just reached level 4, right? From the perspective of eight thousand years ago, this is already extremely fast, and you're saying that you're about to reach level 5? Forgive me for being blunt, but technological explosions are not omnipotent, "the archon said.
The other party clearly did not know that Nubis had already given away all his knowledge.
Without knowing this premise, the consul found it inconceivable.
Was this a joke? No matter how special Earth's civilization was, reaching level 4 was the limit. Why were they addicted to technological explosions? And they still wanted to soar to level 5?
The difference between level 4 and 5 was not as simple as one level, but many eras.
In fact, there was a huge gap between every level. For example, level 1 to level 2.
Speaking of which, it was only the progress from the smelting of molecular clusters to nanotechnology.
But in fact, one could understand just by looking at the history of Earth's technological development. The Old Stone Age, the New Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Steam Age, the Electric Age, the Nuclear Age …
Between these different eras, there were drastic changes. Until the birth of nanotechnology, Earth was still considered a level 1 civilization.
Even though level 1 was a little special, as it was the beginning stage of exploring the mysteries of the universe, it was indeed much more distinct. However, this also showed that every level of civilization actually contained several eras.
Relying on technological explosions, there was nothing wrong with improving a little, but to explode and reach level 5?
Did they really think that level 5 was cabbage?
Lan Mu already had an answer for the archon's doubts. "Do you still remember the pyramids and the Eye of Obliteration on Earth? In fact, our planet has long been affected by foreign civilizations. You're just the latest.
"With the advancement of technology, the things left behind by some mysterious civilizations have been of great help to us. In addition, we have also encountered the invasion of many civilizations, which has allowed our technology to continue to develop."
It was a completely nonsensical reason. There were indeed some high-tech anomalies on Earth, such as the Physics Laboratory, the Steel Capital, and so on. Lan Mu had once suspected that they were left behind by Yin Xin, so he could use them as an excuse.
As for the invasions, Lan Mu had dealt with them all by himself. However, that was not what he said to Nubis. Instead, he said that their civilization had received continuous technological advancements as a result.
"I can understand the explosion of technology caused by war, but to reach Level Five …" The consul would not believe such words so easily.
However, Lan Mu continued, "In fact, we already have the requirements to reach level 5. This fleet is just an exploratory fleet used for interstellar travel. It has been a long time since it was last updated. What you have seen is not our true strength. "
Lan Mu could say whatever he wanted, and the Consul had no interest in pursuing the matter.
He said, "We have friendships with many civilizations, but when it comes to allies, there is only one."
As the Consul spoke, he opened up a 3D star map around them.
The map marked the places they had explored. Zooming in on the scale of the Milky Way, the Amon civilization's influence covered a quarter of the Sagittarius Cantilever! The administrative region also covered an eighth of it.
As for an area of similar size close to the Amon civilization's influence, it was their ally, the Level Five civilization, Sylvie.
The Sagittarius Cantilever only had two Level Five civilizations, and they were actually allies.
"Sylvie and we have a common enemy, the Sa 'bi civilization from the Immortal Constellation Cantilever. They are also Level Five. Allies are a very serious matter for us. If you want to become our ally, you have to be at least a Level Five civilization. "
The Consul said, "I can promise that when your technology reaches Level Five, we are willing to accept you into the Science Truth Club."
He had said all that he wanted to say, and his meaning was clear.
The enemy of a Level Five civilization was only a Level Five civilization. Then, the allies of a Level Five civilization could only be a Level Five civilization.
Lan Mu stared at the map and suddenly realized that the area marked with the Sa 'bi civilization seemed to be in the direction of the Taurus Constellation.
"Eh? More than ten years ago, was there an interstellar war in that direction? "
The Consul looked and nodded. "Yes, that was the war that broke out between the Sagittarius Cantilever and the Immortal Constellation Cantilever. The two sides of the war were the Science Truth Club and the Sa 'bi civilization."
Lan Mu understood. It was obvious that the stray bullets of that war had affected the Orion Cantilever and destroyed the planet of the Stupefied Race. It was really bad luck.
As for the culprit, of course it was the Sa 'bi civilization. They had attacked from the direction of the Taurus Constellation, which was completely in line with the previous guess.
Of course, the war involved three civilizations. In fact, the other two civilizations that participated in the war were suspects, but the probability was lower.
This kind of thing could not be investigated clearly. The parties involved did not even know that there would be stray bullets in the planet.
Now that the two of them were Lan Mu's allies, he obviously would not say anything. So …
Even if it was not the Sa 'bi civilization, it had to be the Sa' bi civilization!
According to the Consul, there were only three known Level Five civilizations in the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
The Sagittarius Cantilever had two, and the Immortal Constellation Cantilever had one. Of course, that was according to the way the Amon civilization divided it. They regarded the Orion Cantilever as the secondary cantilever of the Sagittarius Cantilever, while the Swan Cantilever and the Three Thousand Seconds Cantilever were counted as the Immortal Constellation Cantilever.
In the eyes of a Level Five civilization, the Milky Way was the two main cantilevers.
The Sagittarius Cantilever was more harmonious. Both Amon and Sylvie pursued the truth of the universe, and liked to protect the weak who were pleasing to the eye for satisfaction. They never enslaved other races, nor were they greedy for too large a territory. Thus, they established the only Level Five alliance in the Milky Way.
As for the Immortal Constellation Cantilever, it was the world of the Sa 'bi civilization. From the perspective of Earth, it was a superpower that dominated the Immortal Constellation Cantilever, the Swan Cantilever, and the Three Thousand Seconds Cantilever.
They enslaved countless races and civilizations, and the value they pursued was to destroy all Level Five civilizations, even those that had the potential to be a threat.
According to the Consul, there were once four Level Five civilizations in the Immortal Constellation Cantilever. In the end, two were destroyed, one was enslaved, and only the Sa 'bi civilization was left.
The Sa 'bi civilization surpassed an era, and was infinitely close to the legendary Silver Heart civilization. Amon and Sylvie could only resist it through the alliance.
It was also because of this that the Earth civilization that had already established an alliance would definitely be accepted into the alliance once they stepped into Level Five.
Until now, the Consul still did not know that Lan Mu's path to Level Five was a gift from them.
If he knew, he would not have agreed to the alliance.
Because there was no point in joining a Level Five civilization that was piled up with technological data.
Only a Level Five civilization that developed naturally could bring strength to the alliance. Otherwise, if it was just learning and imitating, it would overlap with the Amon civilization, and there would be no surprises.
The two added together did not equal two, but one.
The exact same technological tree, for a Level Five civilization, only had one more population.
Because any random person from the Amon civilization could run to any place and establish an Amen-type Level Five civilization. Would there be any substantial changes in the Amon civilization? Not at all.
Joining such an alliance was better than having another child.
In theory, by developing technology like this, the Lan Bai Society had actually strangled their own potential.
Of course, Lan Mu was not afraid of being exposed when the time came, because the Earth civilization had a characteristic that would not go out of date: anomalies.
The most important of which was Lan Mu himself.
The civilization was special because of him.
…
After leaving the Aide system, Lan Mu and the Fev fleet jumped more than a hundred light years before finding a system that did not have a collector.
They began to digest and absorb Amon's technology, upgrading their equipment, and doing their best to raise their civilization to Level Five.
Not only did the Fev fleet begin to upgrade, but the base on the dark side of the moon on Earth, the Supreme Church of the Flood World, and the Lan Bai Society branch in the Technological Realm also began to climb the technological tree crazily.
Lan Mu also knew the dangers of this doctrine, but he had the confidence.
In addition, he only strangled the technological potential of the Lan Bai Society, but not the future of Earth's society.
He did not idle around. First, he turned into Asari and spent more than eight days to memorize the main knowledge.
In case he encountered some situations in the future, if he still maintained the knowledge of the old civilization, he would be very ignorant.
At this point in technology, the Asari race was a little useless. It would take too much time for Amon to learn all the technology tree.
"The interval period has been used for twelve days. There are still four days left. It's time to update Ultron."
In terms of learning ability, Ultron's self-evolution was much better than the Asari, and it became the strongest learning machine.
It took Ultron four minutes to update to Level Four technology.
But it took Ultron 30 hours to update to mature Level Five technology!
After removing all the cumbersome systems, there were only two main ones.
The computing system and the creation system.
The former carried his consciousness and wisdom, and the latter included the control of energy, matter, force fields, and so on. The integration of collection, conversion, production, navigation, and combat.
"Fev, how is it?" Lan Mu, who came out of seclusion, asked.
"Master, all the warships have been broken down by me. I found that Level Five civilizations do not need numbers to support their strength, so I did my best to transform the Wanderer into a Level Five warship."
Of course, Lan Mu understood what Fev said.
The war between Level Five civilizations was the use of technology. For example, the war between Amon Sylvia and Zaar actually only involved less than a thousand warships, and they were fighting in multiple areas.
The large number of fleets arranged in formations had long been outdated.
"Continue, be sure to realize all the technology of the Amon civilization. As for the neutron star, I'll go alone."
"Yes!"
Although Fev had created a Level Five warship, it did not mean that he had reached the level of the Amon civilization.
Even if he had all the theoretical basis, and even the practical application of the technology package, he would still need a long time to absorb it. Learning and practicing were two different things. A technological structure was like a castle in the air, and the more advanced it was, the more difficult it was.
For example, an artificial galaxy like the Aide Galaxy. Fev knew all the principles, but he still had to do it himself.
Now, Lan Baishe was only at the beginning of Level Five. To fully integrate and connect to the level of Amon, this would take years.
Of course, there was no hurry. After all, Lan Mu's Ultron 5 could already enter the Zerg homeworld.
The key goal had been achieved, and Lan Mu could not wait to rush to the neutron star.
"So difficult! I can finally absorb new fragments. "
"And … I'm now a Level Five product. The Silver Heart civilization should have warned me, right?"
"Do I have to find a way to avoid their prying eyes?"
…
