Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 420 - 411 Neighbor

Bai Zhongqi eventually fell into a deep sleep in his own soft bed, and by then he understood that his fellow Taoran Star inhabitants were utterly powerless to stop the Star Alliance from occupying their planet. Perhaps, even if the Star Alliance had no intention of taking over, most of the Taoran Star inhabitants would still cry and beg the Star Alliance to rule over Taoran Star in exchange for the unimaginably comfortable life they now possessed.

For Bai Zhongqi, building a few cities to accommodate the population of less than a million on Taoran Star was merely a trivial task. Although the Star Alliance was currently undertaking massive construction projects on several planets, and many areas on Earth still required large-scale infrastructure construction, Bai Zhongqi had diverted several construction units over, and it took only two months to establish several cities on Taoran Star.

This city-building process was more difficult than on other planets; during the process, Star Alliance troops had cleared several Stiff Ghost strongholds, eliminating several waves of monsters to relatively secure the city areas.

The self-replicating capability of Iridium Star was also formidable. After Bai Zhongqi built Hundred-Year City, the Atomic Substance Construction equipment in the industrial area of Hundred-Year City would, upon his orders, produce new construction units. These newly built units would then fly to other locations to continue construction or further develop local construction.

Therefore, for the Star Alliance, the most challenging part was the beginning period of developing a planet or a region, and once things were on track, there was no need to import engineering equipment from other places anymore as local manufacturing capabilities could meet various needs.

Bai Zhongqi was not only extensively constructing on the surface; the orbital factories, planetary defense systems, and shipyards on the planet’s orbit were also being vigorously constructed. After all, this place was a potential battlefield, the more complete the facilities, the more combat power they could provide, and the higher the chances of victory in future wars.

Taoran Star was a crucial strategic node for the Star Alliance in the Two-Star Region, so naturally, Bai Zhongqi would invest substantial resources here, and he was also active in other locations within the two star sectors.

People usually say that the activity range of lower civilizations is within their star systems, mid-level civilizations are limited to their star regions, and high-level civilizations range from their star sectors to the Great Star Zone, mainly due to differences in interstellar travel technology. With second-stage warp speed technology, the Star Alliance already had sufficient capability to operate their fleet within the two star sectors.

The local Bubble Star Region and the Xunyi Star Zone had relatively fewer stars compared to other star sectors on average, naturally having fewer civilizations. After a period of reconnaissance and exploration, the Star Alliance had basically determined the power distribution within the two star sectors.

"...so, within the two star sectors, there are a total of 23 civilizations, making only 24 including us?" Bai Zhongqi found it somewhat hard to believe as he looked at the report.

The generals responsible for this star sector exploration, Xu Lanzhou and another Universe Army general, Lv Zhinian, both came to report to Bai Zhongqi through a holographic video transmission. Your journey continues with novelbuddy

"Overall, the astronomical terrain of the two star sectors is quite favorable, though the distances between planets are great and the planet density is low. Aside from a few troublesome recoil black holes in the Xunyi Star Zone, and some strong radiation stardust clouds in the local Bubble Star Region, our navigation wasn’t really disturbed. However, although the astronomical terrain is suitable, the natural long distances between planets in the two star sectors still limit some civilizations’ initial development. For various reasons, many civilizations might have perished before even reaching the intergalactic era," Xu Lanzhou explained fluently.

This female general had fairly rich experience in interstellar exploration and made significant contributions during this exploration campaign.

Lv Zhinian, who had performed excellently in the last war and was promoted to lieutenant general, was now in charge of managing a fleet.

"During our voyage, we encountered several civilizations and had some contacts and exchanges with them; the overall atmosphere was quite harmonious and friendly, it seems our neighbors are not like the three great enslavers who are unreasonable," said Lv Zhinian.

Xu Lanzhou continued to explain, "Due to time constraints, many civilizations were merely greeted to gain a preliminary understanding; further diplomatic efforts need to be thoroughly pursued. Out of the 23 civilizations, more than half are located in the local Bubble Star Region, 17 of which are lower civilizations, six are mid-level civilizations, mostly just beyond level 15. The highest level among them is a power known as the Pan Star Civilization, with a civilization level of 20."

Lv Zhinian took over, saying, "Most of these civilizations, like the Lvzhao Civilization which we annihilated, are peripheral members of the High Council but have never made direct contact with the High Council. Because most local civilizations are on the boundary between the local Bubble Star Region and the Xunyi Star Zone, they become aware of each other’s existence and have some diplomacy and trade as they develop to a certain point."

Bai Zhongqi curiously asked, "These civilizations have varying strengths, and the area where they are concentrated isn’t very large, roughly the size of three or four star regions, so why haven’t the more powerful civilizations attacked the weaker ones?"

"It’s probably because of the relative richness of resources. Even though the average resource value in the star sector is low, the low density of civilizations means that our star sector’s civilizations possess or autonomously control more resources on average. Moreover, for many civilizations, launching a large-scale invasion and conquering another civilization is not very economically viable. They would need to go through a lot of trouble traveling several light years or more to wage war, and then also transport those resources back to their home planet, which is really inconvenient. Even if they have the capability, going through all the trouble isn’t necessary."

Bai Zhongqi understood this; a situation like Earth’s was probably unique. The Star Alliance was almost a high-level civilization from the beginning, capable of annihilating forces like the Lvzhao Civilization with a mere wave of a hand. But on a normal map, where everyone’s strength is more or less equal, wiping out an enemy or colonizing them isn’t easy. Either the enemy is strong, or they themselves aren’t up to the task. Since that is the case, it’s better for everyone to live in peace.

"The Pan Star Civilization controls four administrative stars and about ten resource stars in the Yanhai Star Region and is somewhat of a template for a relatively weak level 20 civilization. This civilization exhibits xenophobia and oligarchic politics as weaknesses; they discriminate against aliens, but they also do not rashly engage in warfare. Upon encountering us, the Pan Star Civilization showed restraint and decorum, clearly not wanting to ignite wars with unfamiliar civilizations."

Bai Zhongqi said, "We are not barbaric warmongers, and since our neighbors wish to coexist peacefully with us, there is no need for us to covet their properties."
