CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 402: HUMAN BLOOD BUNS

"I reiterate once again, you have violated the airspace of the Wandering Alliance. Please clarify your origins and purpose; otherwise, bear the consequences!"

Seeing that the other party did not reply, Constant Star Lu Chen could not help but send another message with some annoyance.

"This area was originally not your territory but belonged to the Dense Civilization. Even if we go by the order of arrival, it would be the turn of the Ghost Civilization, not you!" The Bose Civilization responded aggressively.

Constant Star Lu Chen was somewhat surprised, both by the strong stance of the other party and by their use of such an excuse, so he coldly said: "You know about the Dense Civilization, and about the Ghost Civilization, so it seems you must be the Bose Civilization that the Ghost Civilization mentioned? It turns out the surrender of the Ghost Civilization was just a time-dragging tactic, huh, quite a clever scheme indeed. Unfortunately, they didn’t execute it cleanly and lacked the strength to drag it out for so long!"

Now that it was clear that the Battle Star in front of him belonged to the Bose Civilization, with the intelligence and wisdom of Lu Chen, it was quite easy to guess the tactics of the Ghost Civilization.

Constant Star Lu Chen continued: "Moreover, the boundaries of the airspace aren’t calculated like you claim. We are here now; this is our territory. Even if we step back ten thousand steps, as per your first-come, first-served basis, the Dense Civilization has been eliminated by us, and the Ghost Civilization has just been exterminated by us. The previous owners no longer exist, so why wouldn’t this space be ours? For a civilization like yours to find an excuse to turn things upside down for a good reason is simply laughable!"

The Bose Civilization retorted: "Does our Bose Civilization need to look for excuses? If we wanted to eliminate you, it would be very easy. You are simply overestimating yourselves. Moreover, don’t forget that the Ghost Civilization is our ally. Their possessions are also ours, so it still isn’t your turn. Of course, being two prominent civilizations, arguing over such a trivial moral high ground is meaningless. Ultimately, it’s our forces that will do the talking, so let’s cut to the chase!"

Constant Star Lu Chen said: "Since you are so confident, why not make a move and see?"

While saying these words, Constant Star Lu Chen also instructed the Wandering Alliance’s science team to scout the surroundings, to see if any other forces were lurking.

Since Lu Chen saw the other party speak with such confidence, there were only two possibilities: one is that they truly have a large amount of backup; otherwise, with just the power of the other party’s ten Battle Stars, it’s hardly worth mentioning. The other possibility is that the other party is bluffing. Although Lu Chen thought the possibility of bluffing was greater, as a leader, he had to be responsible for the entire Wandering Alliance, so he had to be more cautious. Therefore, he let the science team confirm the situation around them first before further discussions.

The Bose Civilization said: "Don’t rush; you’ll get to die soon enough. But for now, we have another matter."

Constant Star Lu Chen asked: "What is it?"

The Bose Civilization said: "Before discussing this issue, let us kindly remind you not to waste energy scanning the surroundings—your technology is incapable of detecting any intelligence. Also, let us make it clear that indeed, it was only our Bose star team that came here."

The Bose Civilization was deliberately saying this.

After noticing that the Wandering Alliance was scouting the intelligence of the surroundings, they deliberately planted doubts in their statement, mentioning both possibilities, to make the Wandering Alliance unsure of their combat strength and become more wary.

Constant Star Lu Chen said: "We don’t need you to worry about our affairs. Even if you didn’t appear, we would still routinely scout nearby situations as it is the basic way we survive in the Universe. Whether you have reinforcements is indeed important, but both sides know very well that you actually don’t have any reinforcements, so there’s no need to make it cryptic. So, before you meet your end, hurry up and state your purpose. I’m actually more interested in that matter than your reinforcements."

The Bose Civilization stated bluntly: "We received information from the Ghost Civilization saying that after you eliminated the Intention of the Black Hole-level Celestial Civilization from the Dense Civilization, you successfully controlled that Black Hole through technological means? I want you to hand over all the technology involved in this as compensation for eliminating our ally, the Ghost Civilization. Otherwise, you will forever be an enemy pursued by our Bose Civilization!"

"So your purpose is to eliminate the Celestial Consciousness technology and control the Black Hole technology..."

Honestly, learning the purpose of the Bose Civilization, Constant Star Lu Chen was quite surprised; he had not expected the Bose Civilization to come for these technologies.

Previously, he had thought that any civilization that had been a Level 4 Civilization for a while would have developed these technologies. However, it seems that reality was not as simple as he thought. The situations of technological specialization and technology development in civilizations across the Universe were far more challenging than he had imagined.

However, Lu Chen always felt that while some scientific technologies were indeed difficult, they shouldn’t be this problematic.

Upon further reflection, Constant Star Lu Chen understood the reason.

The reason he felt that many scientific technologies did not reach that insurmountable level of difficulty was simply because the Wandering Alliance had always been making leaps and bounds in technological development. Even if there were difficulties, they would not be trapped for too long.

This long-lasting impression made him feel that the progress was relatively easy.

However, this is a major trump card and feature of the Wandering Alliance, because the Wandering Alliance implements a communism system and has long carried out a full-elite policy.

Therefore, the Wandering Alliance has hundreds of billions of scientific researchers. This is something that other civilizations might not compare to in their entire existence because the basic differences lead naturally to disparities rooted in human-centric research.

Put simply, scientific technology is always developed by people, and each experiment either reduces the distance to mastering the technology or eliminates one incorrect method. Therefore, the number of scientific experiments essentially determines the rate at which scientific technology is mastered. This is a basic rule.

Although there might be some genius individuals who leap several steps at once, these are still the minority. Moreover, geniuses also need the accumulated scientific knowledge of predecessors to accomplish technological leaps. Therefore, when viewing the entire history of scientific development, the rate of scientific progress is relatively steady. With so many scientific researchers in the Wandering Alliance, the daily number of scientific experiments exceeds that of other civilizations by hundreds of billions, which naturally speeds up the rate at which the Wandering Alliance researches and masters technology.

"However, your Bose Civilization is too cruel. When the Ghost Civilization was in danger, you did nothing, and now that they are dead, you seek personal gain in their name. Do you know that this kind of behavior is called ’profiting from other’s misery’ in our terms!" Constant Star Lu Chen mocked, relishing their misfortune.
