Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 1159 1131: Envoy Team
The main battle of the second battlefield lasted 91 hours. The battle mothership group and the one million tactical jets were reduced to less than a third, managing a pyrrhic victory by destroying thirty-five biological space motherships. They also successfully interrupted two fusion crises in time, with a large number of Element Annihilation Bombs completely vaporizing the biological space motherships engaged in mitotic connection, not leaving even a speck of flesh for Chen Fei.
There was no other choice. The biological space motherships were formidable and resilient, capable of both attack and defense, and had a massive swarm of fodder far exceeding the tactical jets. A slight mistake could have led to the complete annihilation of the 500 combat motherships deployed in the second battlefield. Now, with over a hundred motherships surviving, though all battered, the outcome exceeded the expectations of the AI "Adam" by at least 15 percentage points, as it initially predicted only a quarter of the motherships would remain.
There were still some space biological combat weapons left on the second battlefield, numbering less than ten thousand. These stragglers were inconsequential. Once those wreckages were absorbed into the "Dimensional Gate" life space and fed to the "Life Tree," they wouldn't survive in the void without sustenance.
As space combat units, these creatures lacked organs and the ability to consume food and fully depended on the mothership for the nutrients needed to sustain their energy.
Louis Landon's call came in again. Stationed on the "Atlantis," he was able to communicate with Blue Star using his extensive network to gather some crucial information.
"I've found out that the 'Sagari' civilization's envoy seems human, but sovereignty acquired the other's biological tissues secretly. They only look similar, their hereditary information differs by 1%, showing reproductive isolation. They're not human. I have some videos to send you, some of which have been made public. I've had the rest sorted for you to view."
Chen Fei processed this batch of intelligence first, with more information to be gathered later.
"Alright, I'll look at it immediately!"
Chen Fei still didn't inform the other party about the situation on Emerald Star.
After all, the fewer people who know about a Life Planet, the better. He still needed to rely on Mr. Randon's channels and resources without dragging him into the matter directly. Being informed or not resulted in vastly different circumstances.
A hundred-meter spindle-shaped biological ship appeared in the Blue Star Persian Sovereignty's "Giant Turtle Star" Abnormal Region. One of the envoy team members mingled with the exploration and collection personnel, only revealing their identity at the abnormal region's checkpoint. The envoy team consisted of only three individuals, "they" carried no weapons, only a biological aircraft serving as a transport tool with flight capabilities.
The 'Sagari' civilization's astral technology hadn't achieved faster-than-light travel, and journeying through voids could only be managed with resources and time. In fact, this type of space travel had little significance compared to Wormhole Cloud, Dimensional Gate, and Stargate methods, except perhaps within star systems. However, it's more practical and efficient to manipulate rules rather than expending massive materials and energy.
The appearance of the biological ship in the abnormal region was both unexpected and within reason.
Recently, the Blue Star sovereignties not only restricted supplies to Socotra Island but also forcibly reclaimed management rights over three abnormal regions and prohibited AI "Adam" from interfering. They expelled and relocated all mechanical beings and collection equipment to Socotra Island.
Though Adam was handy for Chen Fei, as an "ancient" AI, Blue Star Civilization had many means to suppress it. Sovereign will was not something anyone could resist, so he didn't obtain this crucial intelligence at first hand.
Especially the Persian Sovereignty, which rushed to seize the resource collection of the "Giant Turtle Star" abnormal region, replacing it with their personnel to monopolize resources. Various adventurers and forces took the opportunity to sneak into the "Giant Turtle Star" territory for their share. Although neither the quantity nor efficiency of resource collection was confirmed, outside the still S-Class Psi Skill "Isolation" sealed "Giant Turtle Star" abnormal region, the situation quickly became chaotic.
The three abnormal regions on Blue Star's surface were both traps and irresistible bait, as those resources were incredibly tempting to industrial technological civilization.
Using mental power wave communication to easily transcend language barriers, the purpose of the 'Sagari' civilization envoy was explained and caused a huge uproar immediately.
No matter when, there would be pro-war factions, pro-peace factions, and neutral factions (fence-sitters). Spectators during this time could all be categorized as fence-sitters.
After some debates, before deciding on war or peace, the Blue Star sovereignties initially agreed to first try contacting these three envoys to understand the Sagari civilization's intentions and attempt to gather more intelligence.
This step had no major faults.
The envoys from the 'Sagari' civilization proposed three topics.
First, sell out Chen Fei, who was attacking one of the 'Sagari' civilization's "Seed Nest" cluster planets, hoping to cease the assault. To show the Sagari civilization's goodwill, the envoy team brought a batch of life-extension genetic drugs capable of effectively prolonging Blue Star humans' lifespan. Though it couldn't grant immortality, it could extend life by 60 to 100 years upon initial use, with further use offering diminishing returns. If a peace agreement could be reached, the Sagari civilization would promise to continue in-depth development of genetic drugs targeting Blue Star humans' genes, not only to cure all incurable diseases but also to extend lifespans further.
This information alone was like a thousand-pound bomb thrown into three acres of fishpond, overturning the entire pond and catching the attention of Blue Star sovereignty leaders' hearts. Once reaching the top tier of human society, they were no longer satisfied with their tremendous wealth and power.
Just like the past monarchs in The First Sovereign's ancient history, eager to borrow five hundred more years from God, many emperors used the nation's resources to seek longevity, yet immortality was unachievable. It wasn't about borrowing five hundred years. When facing death, even extending life by a day was a huge gain.
The more prominent figures feared death, the more they desired longevity.
However, the Blue Star sovereignties had some doubts. The Sagari civilization's ancestral land was already barren, so where did the "Seed Nest" pools come from? After searching the entire star system, only "McKenny" opposed the Sagari civilization with a "Seed Nest."
Doubt led to hypotheses, which spawned various theories. Blue Star never lacked intelligent minds. Someone immediately connected the dots and thought of the abandoned "Emerald Star." In light of the still-popular videogame "Colonizing Jade Star," they couldn't help but be shocked.
My goodness, openly building a façade while secretly crossing on the sly, wasn't this a simulation game; someone was playing a real colonization game!
Who's playing?
The answer was obvious!
Well, that Chen Xiao'er was really bold! He even dared to meddle with a Life Planet and hog it all!
Although up until this moment, no one had contacted him aggressively, Chen Fei could foresee what kind of overwhelming pressure he would face.
The mere thought of it was stressful enough.
But most crucial was The First Sovereign's attitude. Relatively speaking, Chen Fei had no capacity to resist because he had no right to say "no!"
Second, the 'Sagari' civilization hopes to establish trade exchanges with Blue Star and Cangqiong Star, exchanging civilization products, biological technology, industrial technology, and alchemy.
