Chapter 102: We Are the Huaxia Universe Federation

“Commander, they can’t be trusted!”
“I know!”
Zhao Yu nodded. His entire knowledge came from the system, and if the system spoke of the universe adhering to the Dark Forest Theory, then he would believe it so.
“This Moro fleet definitely wants to confuse us. They want to send a ship for close-range communication. Are they planning to detonate a miniature black hole on Earth with their s.p.a.ceship?”
“Commander, how should we respond? Or should we not respond at all?”
“We must respond!”
Zhao Yu stood up and started pacing around the command room, considering how to reply.
He knew they couldn’t allow the enemy ship to enter. Exposing them and breaking the facade was also not an option. If the enemy was provoked and decided to attack directly, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
The best strategy for now was to keep stalling and try to bluff them.
Near Pluto.
“Big Brother, can they believe what we are doing?”
“It doesn’t matter if they believe it or not. The important thing is whether they can see the true face of the universe…”
“Arc you talking about neutrinos?”
“Exactly!”
Moro nodded, “Before reaching a Type 2 civilization, we were always imagining whether there was a federation of civilizations in the universe…”
“It wasn’t until we were truly able to observe and interpret the information in the neutrinos that we realized the state between various civilizations in the universe was one of life and death struggle…”
The Dark Forest Theory certainly started when someone fired the first shot, causing everyone to feel threatened.
The timing of the Glenn civilization reaching a Type 2 civilization was quite late in the nearly 20 billion-year scale of the universe.
By the time they observed the information carried by the neutrinos, the Dark Forest Theory of the universe had long been established.
Just from observing the civilizations destroyed by other civilizations in the neutrinos, they counted more than 10,000.
“Being able to observe neutrinos and extract the information contained within is an important sign of a Type 2 civilization…”
“If they don’t know the truth of the universe, don’t know the Dark Forest Theory of the universe, then they must be a civilization below Type 2…”
Miro scratched his head intelligently for once and said, “Big brother, what if they can observe neutrinos and know the Dark Forest Theory, but pretend not to know?”
“That’s why, in the end, I mentioned that I am willing to send a harmless small warship to their planet for negotiation and communication…”
Moro confidently smiled, “Like neutrinos, particle black hole technology is a hallmark of a Type 2 civilization. If they are a Type 2 civilization, they will certainly not dare to let us go to their home planet…”
“I see…”
“Miro, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with excitement, said, “So we just wait for their reply to know their actual strength…”
“No!”
Moro shook his head, “They might not respond at all…”
“However, if they don’t respond, it’s even better. I have other ways to find out if they are a level 2 civilization or not…”

In outer s.p.a.ce near the Earth, a robot was inspecting the sky curtain and laser defense system.
When the signal from Moro’s fleet came, a chip at the bottom of the robot flickered for a moment, then quickly disappeared.

Moon base.
“We belong to the HuaXia Universe Federation…”
“The HuaXia Universe Federation is composed of 19 civilizations…”
“We are one of them, known as the Pangu civilization…”
“We haven’t heard of the Universe Federation to which you belong…”
“But we welcome all guests, and we are willing to engage in peaceful communication with you…”
“We have contacted the HuaXia Universe Federation and informed them about your visit…”
“However, due to the laws of the HuaXia Universe Federation, we cannot invite you to our home planet for the time being…”
“As an apology, we are willing to send a Peace Envoy ship, with the highest ceremony, to Pluto for communication…”
After finishing, Zhao Yu added, “Also include the names of the eight planets in the Solar System…”
“Good!”
Uncle Da nodded, then asked, “Where should we choose the positions of the other 18 civilizations?”
“We don’t need to mention that…”
If the Moro fleet knows more than them and happens to have been to the star system they mention, that would be embarra.s.sing.
“But what if they don’t believe that we are from the HuaXia Cosmic Federation?!”
“That’s not important!”
Zhao Yu shook his head, “I’m not trying to bluff in the name of the HuaXia Cosmic Federation…”
“Their goal is to test whether we would let their warship come to our home planet…”
“Particle black hole technology is a symbol of a level 2 civilization. They probably want to use this opportunity to test whether we are a level 2 civilization or not…”
At this point, Zhao Yu felt relieved.
Thank goodness he had spent 10,000 technology points to exchange for the technology tree of the Moro battleship earlier.
Otherwise, if they rashly let the opponent’s s.p.a.ceship come, Blue Star might be destroyed, and their true strength would be exposed.
“Commander, isn’t it a bit rash to mention sending an envoy ship to Pluto in the message…”
Uncle Da expressed his concern, “What if they really let our warship go over there?!”
“No, they won’t!”
Zhao Yu shook his head, “They wouldn’t dare to bet whether we have a particle black hole on our ship…”
“This is the real bluff. We can take advantage of their probe to make them think that we are a level 2 civilization…”
“Also, we can…”
Zhao Yu paused, frowned, thought for a moment, shook his head, and did not continue.
He had originally planned to do a few more specious actions to scare the other party, but he was afraid that it would backfire, so he decided to play safe.
After the message was edited, Zhao Yu looked it over carefully, made sure there was no problem, and then let Uncle Da send it.
The Moro fleet is about 7 billion kilometers away from here, and it will take six and a half hours for the message to reach them at the speed of light.
Zhao Yu thought for a moment, then asked, “Uncle Da, what technologies do we have that we can trade back?”
“We only have second-generation nuclear fusion, third-generation nuclear fusion, and the Hall thruster, which can return a total of 16,000 technology points…”
Zhao Yu summoned the system panel.
[Base: Level 1]
[Experience: 73800/100000]
[Technology Points: 9121]
After looking at the remaining technology points, he realized that he had an excess of 8500 technology points from last time, and over the past twenty days, it had naturally increased by more than 600 points. If he trades those three technological products, he would have 25121 technology points.
Using all these technology points would push the experience value to 98921 points.
It only needs 1079 more points to level up.
According to the natural growth rate of technology points, it will take another 44 days to level up.
“Then trade!”
Zhao Yu continued, “After the trade, I will have about 25,000 technology points. Are there any things that need to be exchanged?”
“The mothership can be exchanged…”
“Besides that, many life-science technologies can be exchanged…”
“No, I only want technologies related to war. Check again…”
“Related to war, there is a large vacancy in life science technologies, at least it can consume 20,000 technology points…”
Zhao Yu nodded, and let Uncle Da prepare these things. He himself stood up and headed towards Yuean City, planning to first settle the trading matter..
