Chapter 239 Shocking Speech
“First of all, I want to make one thing clear: many people here may know, but many are still in the dark.
This conference will be broadcast live to all citizens of our civilization. What I am about to say may change your perception, but please rest assured that under the leadership of this committee, I am confident that I can lead our civilization to overcome any difficulties. "
Fan Ren's words were sonorous and powerful, and he looked directly at the camera with a firm gaze and a resolute expression, as if at that moment he could give great encouragement to everyone who saw this scene.
"We have always had various speculations about the center of the Milky Way.
Black holes, numerous high-quality stars, and many resource-rich planets, etc.
What I want to tell you is that these are facts.
Not only that!
Unfortunately, the universe we live in, although vast and boundless, is not a lifeless existence.
In this universe, there are tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of billions, of carbon-based civilizations.
Not only that, from the information I received, there is even an electronic silicon-based civilization with self-awareness.
In the universe where we live, human civilization is not the only one that exists alone.
In the rich star field at the center of the Milky Way, there are even five super civilizations. In their words, their technological level has reached the level of fifth-level civilization.
In comparison, our current human civilization is only at the intermediate level of secondary civilization.
But there is no need to be discouraged, because there are seven other civilizations within ten light years of us.
And their level of civilization is also at the second level.
I say this to tell you that after a hundred years, with the joint efforts of Xinghai and Daxia, as well as countless workers, scientists, and practitioners from all walks of life, we have solved the crisis at hand.
Here, I must sincerely say thank you to all human civilizations, our deceased ancestors, and all the people who are working hard!
It is really thanks to your unremitting efforts and selfless dedication.
Only in this way can our civilization leap from the stage of first-level civilization to the current mid-stage of second-level civilization in just a hundred years.
Thus, the threat posed to us by the seven surrounding civilizations has been completely resolved.”
After Fan Ren finished speaking, he stared deeply in the direction of the camera.
He knew that at this moment, this camera was facing nearly 20 billion viewers from all over the world.
He bowed slightly and thanked him solemnly.
After a long time, he stood up again and stood straight in front of the camera. He was as tall and straight as a pine or cypress, revealing his unyielding will.
Off the field, nearly a thousand officials at all levels looked at this scene with solemn expressions.
Among these people, some know some inside information, while others are confused and only vaguely know about the existence of aliens.
A large part of them knows nothing about anything that has happened over the years involving alien civilizations.
Now, in this extremely solemn occasion today, many of them originally thought that they were just coming here to vote and complete their routine work.
But now, when they heard the explosive content from the new chairman of human civilization, everyone was surprised at the new chairman's style, and at the same time, they listened attentively to the information with absolute concentration.
When Fan Ren saw the reaction from the audience, he felt slightly touched.
"However, this is not a reason for us to stop. Today's meeting may need to be extended for a longer period of time, but I think it is necessary.
I think it is necessary to share the current situation with my fellow human beings of all civilizations.”
He calmed down and was struggling with how much to say, but now he had the answer in his mind. "In the center of the Milky Way, five super civilizations joined hands to form the so-called Galactic Alliance.
The Galactic Alliance, as the name suggests, is an alliance organization formed by all carbon-based life civilizations in the Milky Way.
Under this alliance, once an emerging civilization has the power to travel across star systems, it will naturally come into contact with the starry sky gates of nearby galaxies.
Through these star gates, individual civilian ships and some escort ships can travel all the way to the center of the Milky Way.
Along the way, there are also multiple official organizations of the alliance, and new civilizations can complete the registration of carbon-based civilizations in these official organizations.
Obviously, this is what we're going to do next.
how so?"
When Fan Ren said this, he raised a question that puzzled everyone.
He didn't keep the secret and continued:
“Because there is a rule in the Galactic Alliance!
That is, after paying a certain fee, civilizations can reasonably declare war and launch an invasion war!
To exaggerate a little, if a third-level civilization declares war on our human civilization now, regardless of whether we have the strength to resist, they only need to pay a fee and they can declare war on, invade, colonize, or even completely destroy us under the reasonable rules of the Galactic Alliance.
Another reason to restrict their actions is whether our civilization is worth the cost of declaring war.
So, I am sorry to tell you that this is not the time to relax our efforts.
The environment we live in is not absolutely safe.
Because just 30 light years away, there is a Sirius civilization that relies on war to support war.
I am not saying this to spread terror. Fellow countrymen, please rest assured that as the first chairman, I have the confidence that human civilization can continue to develop stably and safely.
But this cannot be achieved without your efforts.
Here, I would like to make a personal request to you.
Our career has not reached the point where we can celebrate. We still need to give 100% of our work energy and make unremitting efforts. "
After Fan Ren finished speaking, the meeting room remained silent.
But compared to what was said before, everyone felt more obviously heavy-hearted.
What he said was not good news.
It is obvious that the so-called fifth-level civilization is not a kind civilization.
The rules they set, though, preserved opportunities for the development of civilization to a certain extent.
But it is also very harsh.
"Now, let's talk about the good news."
Fan Ren changed his expression, showing a relaxed look and said with a smile: "The good news is that the current strength of our civilization has the ability to absolutely protect itself within the surrounding ten light years.
Here, I want to introduce the concept of star domain market.
That is, within the Galactic Alliance, there is a market involving very broad concepts.
According to the information I have learned, this so-called star market has advanced technologies for sale that countless civilizations cannot refuse."
