The strongest commander in the universe

Here, Lin Fan really opened his eyes. In front of him is a steampunk civilization of the interstellar era. Not to mention its technology, the starport on the orbit and the various spaceships passing around are full of steampunk style.

At this time, a spaceship with an obvious sense of majesty approached, and at the same time Lin Fan also received the other party's communication.

This is the exclusive spaceship of the Auger royal family. To put it more directly, it is the car of Emperor Augustus.

At this time, Augustus was looking at the huge fleet not far away through the porthole. Each of the spaceships was several times the size of his own, which was simply too scary. .

This kind of civilization must not be offended, Augustus couldn't help thinking so in his heart.

Lin Fan took the two women, more than 20 representatives of the expert group, and dozens of commandos, and took the shuttle to Augustus' car.

A few minutes later, when a group of people boarded Augustus' car, Augustus himself greeted them at the cabin door with several ministers.

"My lords, I am the Emperor Augustus of the Auger Empire. Welcome to the Auger Empire!"

Augustus was very respectful.

Lin Fan didn't steal the conversation, after all, this was not his scope of duties, he just brought the two girls down to play.

As for the evaluation and negotiation of the Auger Empire, all of them are in the charge of the expert group.

Soon, someone in the expert group picked up on Augustus's words, and didn't show the spectrum of advanced civilization.

The first conversation between the two sides can be said to be relatively pleasant.

Speaking of which, the Ogg people are somewhat like the dwarves in some of Lin Fan's previous works. They are also humanoid, but their height is generally between 1.2 meters and 1.5 meters. Hair, including the face.

Of course, the negotiator specially introduced Lin Fan during the conversation with Augustus.

When Augustus learned that Lin Fan was the captain of a human legion, and the fleet in front of him was just one of the many fleets under the legion, he looked at Lin Fan more respectfully.

Especially when he learned that the three of Lin Fan did not participate in the talks, but only came to Aug Star for fun, Augolas immediately patted his chest and said that after he went down, he would arrange special guards and tour guides for Lin Fan. All expenses are borne by the royal family.

Lin Fan just smiled, that's fine, otherwise the three of them would go shopping by themselves. On the one hand, they didn't know the place well, and on the other hand, they didn't have the money to buy anything, right?

After all, people don't know the federal currency, so I don't necessarily want to rob it!

More than half an hour later, the spacecraft began its airborne operation towards the surface of the planet.

I have to say that there is still something about the technology of the Auger Empire. After all, for a spaceship of this size, it is impossible for most second-level civilizations to do it, and even some elementary third-level civilizations cannot do it. arrive.

After arriving on the ground, Augustus immediately arranged a tour guide and a team of royal guards for Lin Fan, and soon Lin Fan left with the two women. After all, it was the matter of the expert team and had nothing to do with Lin Fan. .

And this game lasted for a whole week, until Lin Fan received the notice from the expert group, and returned to the palace of the Auger Empire with the two girls.

It was only when Lin Fan and the others returned to the palace that they learned about the results from Meng Fei.

First of all, after the evaluation conducted by the expert group, the potential score of the Aoge civilization reached 7.2 points, which met the basic requirements for the federation to recruit affiliated civilizations.

The so-called potential score is a potential evaluation method formulated by many experts in the Federation. It is a score obtained through a comprehensive evaluation of more than 100 items such as the historical process of a civilization, the technological route, the civilization system, and the proportion of the population of each occupation. The full score is 7 points, and the minimum requirement for the federation to recruit affiliated civilizations is [-] points.

Therefore, the expert group also extended an invitation to the Auger Empire to join the federation's affiliated civilization.

Of course, when Augustus heard this invitation at first, his face was not very good-looking. He knew what an affiliated civilization was, and becoming an affiliated civilization meant being constantly squeezed by the main civilization, basically tantamount to cutting off the development of his own civilization. potential.

However, when Augustus read the Human Federation's affiliated civilization agreement, he was stunned.

are you kidding me?You actually told me that this is an affiliated civilization?

Chapter 176

When Augustus carefully read the subsidiary civilization agreement of the Human Federation.

This subordinate civilization framework of human beings is not so much the control of subordinate civilizations, but more like a cooperation framework between civilizations.

After reading the framework agreement of the entire affiliated civilization platform, Augustus summarized the most important points as follows.

First, the subordinate civilization needs to be consistent with the overlord civilization in military terms, and the overlord civilization will provide military protection for all subordinate civilizations under its command.

At the same time, when human beings engage in foreign wars, affiliated civilizations will not be forced to participate, but will be distributed in the form of tasks. Affiliated civilizations can freely choose to participate or not to participate. Participants will be rewarded with points according to their war contributions, and they can share part of the fruits of the war.

Second, the suzerain civilization will not force subordinate civilizations to hand in their own technology. In the subordinate civilization platform, there will be a special technology contribution area with a built-in federal technology tree!

For any technology that is not on the technology tree, the affiliated civilization can voluntarily upload it. After uploading, it will be verified by the Federation's expert team. After the verification is passed, points will be awarded according to the technical difficulty.

Third, for the civilizations of the first and second levels, the suzerain civilization will support them.

During the support period, it only needs to consume half of the point value when exchanging the science and technology of a civilization that does not exceed the third level on the affiliated civilization platform. This support measure will be automatically canceled after the affiliated civilization becomes a third-level civilization.

Fourth, in the point exchange module, you can exchange for various things and technologies, even the technologies or equipment owned by the fourth-level civilization, as long as you have enough points, you can also exchange them!

Of course, it is easy to exchange equipment, but if you want to exchange the detailed technology of the fourth-level civilization, it is a sky-high price, and as far as the second-level civilization is concerned, even if you get the technology of the fourth-level civilization, you can’t research a reason. After all The span is too big, it can only be a waste of points.

After summarizing the most important points, Augustus was stunned.

You humans call this an affiliated civilization?

"Is your civilization sure of the terms?"

The uneasy Augustus confirmed it again!

"Of course, what our human federation needs are affiliated civilizations that can progress together with us, not those affiliated civilizations that can only contribute resources and serve as cannon fodder."

The negotiator also said to Augustus with a smile.

"His Majesty Augustus, are you interested in joining the family of affiliated civilizations of our Federation?"

Augustus didn't hesitate at all, he would be a fool not to join, okay?

As long as everything is as stated in the agreement, the Auger Empire can use the affiliated civilization platform to be promoted to a third-level civilization in a very short period of time, and even a fourth-level civilization in the future is completely expected.

So on the same day, Augustus officially signed the Human Federation Subsidiary Civilization Agreement, and obtained a terminal device of the Subsidiary Civilization.

When Lin Fan came back with his two daughters, the Auger Empire had already uploaded nearly a thousand technical details through the affiliated civilization, and it was said that the uploading was still going on, with no sign of stopping at all.

Even the team of experts specially formed on the earth at this moment is a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the first subsidiary civilization would be established within a few days of the plan, and they would contribute so much technology all at once!

As a result, this specially formed technical verification team immediately devoted itself to the work of forgetting to eat and sleep, and carried out verification work on all uploaded technologies.

It has to be said that the completely different technology tree, even with detailed technical information, even if it is only the technology of level 2 civilization, still caused the whole team to encounter a lot of trouble in the verification process, and many technologies cost a lot of money. It takes a little time to figure it out.

Provoking hundreds of experts are constantly exclaiming, steam can still play like this?This was an eye-opener for everyone.

Just when Lin Fan and the others returned to the guard fleet on Orge star orbit, a batch of relatively simple technical verification results had already been fed back in the affiliated civilization terminal of the Orge Empire.

"Ding, the number S611 technical data submitted by your civilization has passed the verification and obtained 57 points."

"Ding, the number S617 technical data submitted by your civilization has passed the verification and obtained 89 points."

"Ding, the number S629 technical data submitted by your civilization has passed the verification and obtained 72 points."

"Ding, the number S651 technical data submitted by your civilization has passed the verification and obtained 198 points."

……

In one day, more than 100 technologies have passed the verification. Although the points given are pitifully low, Augustus doesn't mind at all.

In his view, the currently verified technologies are the most basic and simple technologies, which are completely worthless, and these low-level technologies that have no value have already fed back more than 1 points.

He just looked around in the point exchange interface, a set of energy shield device is only [-] points, and a jump engine is only [-] million points.

Does this mean that after all the technologies are verified, he can even exchange for a batch of energy shield devices and jump engines, and directly organize a powerful fleet?

It's not that Augustus is thinking too much. After all, the Auger Empire is only a second-level civilization, and the entire empire currently has only one fleet with 100 warships!

For the Auger Empire, it is far from reaching the level of a third-level civilization with a fleet of tens of thousands of warships.

And what excites Augustus the most is the jump engine.

With this thing, it used to take several years to go through the Way of the Stars, but now it only takes a few days to get there, which made Augustus so excited that he was going crazy.

After Augustus finished passing on the technology, he once again turned his attention to the resource contribution module.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is where the Federation buys resources with points, but the price is really black.

For example, steel is collected at a minimum of 0.01 tons, and every 1 tons of steel is 1 points, which means that [-] tons of steel can be exchanged for [-] point.

But Augustus didn't feel much. After all, steel is the least valuable thing once it leaves the parent planet.

After all, there are too many of these things in the universe, especially in some asteroid belts, they are everywhere.

Therefore, the general civilization does not accept this thing, but it is already good if the Federation accepts it. Do you think the purchase price is too low?

Just as Augustus continued to exchange points frantically, and Lin Fan and others continued their journey, the news of the battle of Wayne finally reached the ears of Imran, Emperor of the Sierra Empire.

"Your Majesty, urgent information from General Basel!"

In the palace of the Imperial Capital of the Sierra Empire, a guard was kneeling on one knee in front of Imran, making a report.

"Haha, did you hit something again? Read it quickly!"

Imran was in a pretty good mood. After all, Basel sent back a message a few months ago, saying that Wien had been captured.

There must be new progress now!

"Yes, I encountered the counterattack of the Io Federation in Wien, which had 20 quasi-tier-four warships, and then an unknown force joined the battlefield and helped the Io Federation attack our army, and its fleet of more than 40 warships are all Tier-[-] Civilized battleship, I have ordered the entire fleet to retreat through the Way of the Stars, I hope His Majesty will make preparations early!"

After the guard's voice fell, the audience room became silent.

Chapter 177 The Unwilling Emperor

In the capital circle of the Sierra Empire, in the audience room of the Emperor Star Palace.

Imran stared at the half-kneeling guard in front of him in a daze.

"Can you say that again!"

"Yes, I encountered the counterattack of the Io Federation in Wien, which had 20 quasi-tier-four warships, and then an unknown force joined the battlefield and helped the Io Federation attack our army, and its fleet of more than 40 warships is all Level [-] civilized battleship, I have ordered the entire fleet to retreat through the Way of the Stars, I hope Your Majesty will make preparations early!"

"Bang!!!"

Imran slapped the table, making a loud noise, which made the half-kneeling guard tremble uncontrollably.

"Go, Minister of the General Department Harlan called to see me!"

"Yes!"

The guard stood up as if he was about to receive an amnesty, and quickly backed out. After he exited the audience room, he realized that his back was completely wet.

More than ten minutes later, Harun, Minister of the Military Department, came to the audience room.

"Chen Harun has met His Majesty!"

"Harlan, you should know the news about Basel, right? Tell me your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, if the content of General Basel's message is true, then our empire will be in danger."

Harun spoke cautiously while glancing at Imran.

"Your Majesty, judging from the information sent back by General Basel, there are three key points!"

"First, the Io Federation has a large number of quasi-fourth-level civilized warships, which is quite unfavorable to us. It is likely to rebalance our advantages, and even turn our advantages into disadvantages!"

"Second, there is an unknown force behind the Io Federation, and all the warships of this force are real fourth-level civilization warships, not the kind of foreign trade warships sold by the Babawi Empire, otherwise General Basel will definitely Will explain."

"Thirdly, the energy shield devices of the Babawi Empire are not only for sale, they only sell warships, and the jump engine is forbidden to sell equipment. Therefore, the energy shield and jump engine of the Io Federation can never be Babawi What the empire provides is very likely to be supported and provided by this new unknown force."

"Based on all the information, it is likely that a new fourth-level civilization was born in the Orion Arm, and this civilization is supporting and arming the Io Federation. This is definitely not good news for us."

After hearing Harun's words, Imran also felt the difficulty of the matter.

An Io Federation armed with a large number of energy shields and leap engines, and a fourth-level civilization that does not know the details, this is beyond what a third-level civilization can handle.

If there is no Io Federation, the Sierra Empire will definitely go up to be a licking dog immediately, but their own empire and the Io Federation have been enemies for hundreds of years, and this newly emerged fourth-level civilization is supporting the Io Federation in all aspects. No matter how you look at it, you have no chance!

Even if one fails, the crisis of destroying the country is just around the corner!

"Harlan, how do you think we can get through this crisis!"

For a while, Imran couldn't think of any good countermeasures, so he had to ask Harun again, hoping that he could come up with a good solution.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea!"

"Huh? Come and listen!"

Imran's eyes lit up when he heard that Harun had an idea, and he immediately asked Harun to continue talking.

"Yes! Your Majesty should know that on our Orion arm, there has always been only a fourth-level civilization of the Babawi Empire. It can be said that the Babawi Empire is the overlord and actual ruler of the entire Orion arm."

Listening to Harun's words, Imran also nodded.

Although the Babawi Empire has not actually ruled the entire Orion Arm, it has conducted inspection tours every hundred years.

To put it mildly, it is an inspection, but in fact, it is to collect tribute from various civilizations. Therefore, it is absolutely correct to say that the Babawi Empire is the overlord and actual ruler of the entire Orion arm.
