Harov also nodded. "Our advantage lies in magic, so we still need to work hard in this area!"

According to the information they have learned, the Eternal Star should be the boundary between two different universes. Things like magic should not exist in other star fields. Using something that is completely beyond the other party's understanding as the core of displaying power should have a good effect.

Aurora, Anthony and others also agreed with this view, but they were troubled by how to create an oppressive negotiation environment.

While everyone was discussing, Lin En, who had been concentrating on the incarnation, suddenly opened his eyes and interrupted the discussion. "I just received some bad news."

The noisy conference room immediately quieted down, and Harov asked with a serious expression, "Could it be that the alien civilization is still unwilling to give up and plans to continue attacking us?"

"No, it's not that bad." Lin En shook his head, and then repeated the information his incarnation had collected from the minds of those geometric aliens.

Although this fleet is several light years away, it is not completely unfamiliar with this star field. They are able to capture the light reflected from the sun through a special instrument and decipher the information it carries.

And as the distance gets closer, the information obtained becomes more comprehensive.

Now, most of the civilizations have realized that they have not completed the colonization of the remaining planets in the galaxy, and even once regarded them as a planetary civilization that is not yet capable of leaving its home planet.

Of course, this is not wrong. Several years ago, during the rule of the Empire and the Church, without considering the high-end combat power, the level of the entire civilization was not even up to the second-level civilization in the other party's evaluation system.

Fortunately, this war should have a certain impact on the judgment of these aliens. At least from the memories he obtained, some Geometry people have begun to suspect whether the coordinates they received from the Eternal Star were a trap.

After pondering for a long time, Vittorio proposed a new point of view. "Since it is difficult for us to imagine the posture of a higher-dimensional civilization, it is not easy to be watertight, so why not do the opposite!"

"You mean to proactively show weakness to the enemy?"

Anthony immediately understood what Vittorio meant, and the latter nodded. Since the other party believed that they were a civilization that liked to disguise, they might as well continue to solidify this perception.

Lin En also thought this was a good idea, but it needed a little more...

It is best to show weakness to the enemy, while making people think terrified in the details!

"It will take about a month for that battleship to reach this galaxy. We don't have much time left!"

……

A month passed in a flash, and just as the parliament was actively preparing, in the vast universe, in an unknown galaxy, in a star field somewhere in the second spiral arm, a disc-shaped battleship with a diameter of more than five kilometers was moving rapidly towards the target galaxy.

The distance between the two sides is less than one billion kilometers, and the information obtained by capturing the reflected light is increasing, but no matter how you look at it, this does not look like a galaxy under the control of an advanced civilization.

They could not see any light energy conversion equipment surrounding the entire star, four of the five planets were still in their most primitive state, and no trace of any civilization could be found.

Could it be that this is a galaxy that has just been discovered and colonized by the other side?

But it is not the case that there is not even such "basic" facilities as light energy conversion equipment.

The consul was completely puzzled by this, but this was not the only thing that he found difficult to understand during this period of time. For example, although they were prisoners, they were not under very strict control. There was not even anyone guarding them, and they were even free to sail.

Aren’t these people worried at all that they might suddenly turn around and run away?

Unless... the other party thinks that they have no possibility of escape at all.

Out of this fear, the Archon ordered the spacecraft to proceed along a fixed route, but he still made some small moves in private. After the energy system was restored, he secretly communicated with the mother world and reported on their capture.

The leaders of the disk had no intention of holding anyone accountable. They all felt that this was a rare opportunity to find out the details of the target civilization up close and then decide on the next course of action.

Due to the fear of being discovered, this secret communication was interrupted after just a few atomic seconds. Another important reason was that the target galaxy was already "in sight".

The ship's optical computer also quickly sent a prompt that two spaceships that were no smaller than the main ship were approaching at a very fast speed, and there were very obvious space-time fluctuations in the surrounding areas.

"It is indeed a warp engine..." The Archon confirmed this once again, and then hurriedly sent a message. "Quick, convert the appearance of this spacecraft into encrypted information as quickly as possible and send it back to the mother world!"

He knew very well that the cutting-edge scientific researchers in the mother world were also researching curvature engine technology, and the process had reached a critical moment. The ready-made spacecraft in front of him would undoubtedly serve as a good reference.

Just like before, the message was sent out without any obstruction.

At the disc meeting at this moment, the leaders who received the message immediately summoned a group of top spaceship designers to analyze the technological level of the other civilization starting from the appearance.

If we can find a way to copy it and crack the secret of the curvature engine, that would be great...

Chapter 610: Lin En, the Galaxy Governor of the Pan-Magic Empire!

Thanks to the powerful analytical capabilities of the optical computer, the transmitted image information was quickly suspended in the disc conference room in the form of a three-dimensional projection.

Interstellar spacecraft are always the benchmark for testing a civilization's technology. The technological background of a civilization can often be seen from its power system, exterior design, and material application.

The two spaceships sent for contact look like a huge diamond-shaped fortress. What is particularly noteworthy is that there are many exquisite patterns engraved on the outer shell, which seem to be arranged according to a certain pattern. Obviously, it is not just a simple decoration.

As for its function, a group of researchers could not figure it out even after discussing a few atoms. Even the material used to make the outer shell of the spacecraft was completely unknown...

Because these two ships were specially modified in the past month to cope with this contact, their outer shells were coated with a special coating 30 centimeters thick, which was made of magic gold dug from foreign lands.

This special magic material is also very magical. Although its hardness, radiation resistance and high-pressure resistance are not as good as the original shell metal, it is hundreds of times harder than ordinary steel. The most important thing is that it has high magic conductivity. Combined with the magic circle developed by Vittorio, it can block all kinds of ray detection in all directions.

The successive setbacks in materials and alchemy have caused the spaceship designers of the Geometry Civilization to feel a strong sense of frustration. The only thing they can still understand is the exterior design.

"I speculate that they probably placed a curvature generator at each end, forming a U-shaped curvature space with 'compression in the front and expansion in the back', pushing the spacecraft forward..."

A designer whose appearance resembled a ring quickly guessed what was going on based on the shape of the spacecraft and the detection data of space fluctuations sent over. However, he was very confused about the structure of the two spacecraft.

Because according to the analysis of the optical computer, the pointed cone shape with a small front and a large back is the most energy-saving and reasonable form of a curvature spacecraft, and the new warship they envisioned will also adopt a similar structure.

However, a civilization that may come from a higher dimension will obviously not make such a low-end mistake. The use of a diamond-shaped shell must have some deep meaning.

Given the two setbacks in materials and alchemy, no designer dared to say that the other party's spacecraft design had major flaws, which would only add to the joke.

They couldn't understand it. There was only one possibility, that is, there was already an extremely obvious technological gap between the two sides...

Under the heated discussion of a group of spacecraft designers, a colorful spectrum flashed in the entire disc conference hall, and various ideas were put forward.

For example, one of the designers believed that the diamond-shaped structure was deliberately adopted, most likely to be used to carry some special weapons or to place a long-distance orbital acceleration device.

There are also geometric aliens who have proposed a new idea. Is it possible that the reason why the other party's curvature spacecraft is a diamond structure is because this advanced civilization simply likes this shape, just like they like circles...

Compared to the designers who were racking their brains to think about the structure of the spacecraft, the Geometry Star people who had been captured at the other end of the galaxy were under greater pressure. They were "escorted" by two curvature spacecraft on both sides and headed for their destination this time - the moon!

This is a very desolate satellite. There are no huge urban clusters or any protective measures. All you can see is a wasteland.

"Is this the satellite prison you built?" A faint white light emanated from the Archon's body, and he couldn't help but speak out a message.

Many civilizations in the universe like to build prisons at the center of satellites, using their huge outer shells as a natural protective layer, usually to detain some dangerous galaxy-level criminals.

But looking at the desolate surface, the Archon felt that it was not the case, because all the satellite prisons he had seen were equipped with heavy protection to prevent rescue or jailbreak. At the very least, there must be space-based weapons and planetary-level energy protection devices orbiting the satellites, right?

Otherwise, if we are attacked by the enemy fleet, we won't even be able to fight back...

Facing the consul's inquiry, Raphael had no intention of replying, but just showed an intriguing smile at the right time.

The hundreds of captured Geometry people were confused and kept analyzing the meaning of each other's expressions, completely unaware that Raphael simply didn't know how to answer.

According to the strategy discussed by the parliament before, if you don’t know how to answer, just smile!

This is undoubtedly a very simple and effective method. Although it cannot solve the problem, it is enough to make people fall into doubt and confusion, which is exactly the effect they need to achieve.

"Okay, we're here, this is it!" Raphael brought a group of Geometry people to a flat open space, then clapped his hands in front of their confused eyes, and the whole earth began to shake.

Under the gazes of hundreds of eyes, a magnificent building that blends magical alchemy and federal design styles rose from the ground. Hundreds of pillars engraved with runes included everyone in it. The surface of the desert beneath their feet quickly became solid, as smooth and hard as gold.

In just a dozen seconds, a magnificently decorated conference hall was formed, and then thousands of colorful figures appeared on both sides of the hall.

These were actually some unknown energy life forms... The Archon quickly confirmed this through electromagnetic waves.

The Geometry people were also terrified. It was not until then that they realized that this planet was not empty and lacking in protection as they had expected, but they just didn't see it.

The energy creatures that appeared in the conference room were a group of gods with pseudo-legendary powers created by Lin En using divine power to imitate the style of the gods in the main world. As for this conference hall that suddenly appeared... now the entire moon is within the coverage of the divine domain. Not to mention creating a building, even creating a city out of thin air is a piece of cake.

Lin En, who was in charge of all affairs in the dark, did not allow these alien organisms to think too much. He appeared in the main seat of the conference hall through a close-range wormhole and spoke directly.

"Everyone who has come from afar, I am the galaxy governor of the Pan-Magic Empire. You can call me...Lin En!"

Pan-Magic Empire…Galaxy Governor…The Archon remembered these two terms firmly in his mind. Seeing that the other party did not put him directly into prison, he immediately guessed that this should be some kind of process similar to the trial of crimes.

Chapter 611: War Trial and Sky-High Compensation

"Dear Governor, I am the captain and chief consul of the 37th Column of the Geometry Civilization. Please forgive us for our previous offense! In fact, this conflict was just a misunderstanding. We went to this galaxy not with malice, but with goodwill and friendship."

There was a faint white glow all around the consul, and while he was delivering the message, his spire-like body also split apart, forming a 90-degree bend from top to bottom, which was usually a courtesy for lower-ranking people meeting higher-ranking people.

After an interstellar war and several attacks, the Archons were 90% sure that the other side was a super civilization whose technological level surpassed that of the mother world, so their attitude was naturally lowered to the extreme.

After all, this conversation is so important that it directly concerns the survival of the mother world.

"Goodwill and friendship?"

Before Lin En could answer, Arad, who was mixed in with the divine servants, stood up and asked sharply, "Are you referring to the sudden and unreasonable attack on the detector we sent?"

"It's not without reason, Governor!" the Archon explained hastily. "We detected that this probe was accelerating even at a very close distance. It may have great malice, so we made a tentative..."

"Feint attack!" The consul thought for a long time before he uttered the word.

"This is completely your one-sided statement. We have accurately calculated the trajectory of the attack. If we don't evade it in advance, these fifteen energy cannons will hit the detector from different directions." Arad said with a sneer, and Raphael on the side also added.

"Also, this probe was just patrolling the border of the galaxy as usual. After discovering your movements, it sped up to confirm the situation, but it did not expect to be attacked most violently..."

The words of the two people made the consul choke. It was true that they were the first to take action, but if the other party had not made such a move that could be easily misunderstood, he would have been more cautious.

But the next moment, the Archon realized that he had made a huge misjudgment, that is, he took the acceleration of the detector as a sign of attack.

This may be true for traditional propulsion systems. After all, deceleration requires a cycle. The most advanced warships of Geometric civilization usually take about twenty atomic minutes to go from sub-light speed to full hover.

But the curvature engine is different. It is very likely that it will reduce the speed from the highest speed to a stationary level within one thousand atomic seconds!

After realizing this, the Archon felt his body tremble, as if he was on the verge of disintegration. In other words, it was his own misjudgment that ultimately led to this interstellar war that should not have happened...

Even if he returned to his home world today, he would probably be imprisoned or even executed for the crime of provoking war.

But now was obviously not the time to consider personal honor and disgrace, so the Archon quickly explained, "I think this is a not-so-nice misunderstanding, Governor... Our ships use antimatter sources to drive propulsion devices, and it is relatively difficult to change direction and slow down at super-high speeds, so speeding up within one million kilometers is usually considered a prelude to an attack..."

The consul sincerely recounted how he misjudged the situation and launched the attack, and said that as the culprit who caused the war between the two civilizations, he could destroy himself to apologize!

This certainly cannot completely make up for the losses incurred in the war, but Geometry Civilization can also provide corresponding compensation.

"Compensation? How do you want compensation? Is it a galaxy, or a hundred galaxy-class battleships?" A hint of disdain emerged on Raphael's face, but he was suppressing his excitement and joy in his heart.

They had witnessed the power of the Geometry civilization. The star destroyer cannon alone made Raphael envious. This was a powerful weapon that could kill true gods and destroy a world with one blow!

The super weapon named black hole by Lin En is even more terrifying, and can even repel the Lord God!

The consul naturally did not know what Raphael was thinking. In his opinion, this was an obvious mockery. However, it was normal when you think about it. Facing a civilization with a higher level of technology, it is not an easy task to come up with compensation that satisfies the other party.

At least it's not something I can decide...
