Chapter 246: Arrival
Under the dual effects of the Starfield Market and the Central Bank, all civilizations in the entire Milky Way Galaxy are firmly restricted by the Five Great Super Civilizations to certain specific development stages.
These are some of the trends that Fan Ren can see so far.
Of course, these are just soft strength.
Hard strength wise.
The Five Great Super Civilizations are the only ones possessing all technical data to build Titan-class Battleships, along with weapons and equipment.
It is imaginable that, under the fusion of these various means, they crazily absorb resources from other civilizations through the Starfield Market and the Central Bank.
Since the establishment of the Galactic Alliance 9420 years ago, these Five Great Super Civilizations have accumulated an unknown number of Titan-class Battleships, as well as other undisclosed, possibly even more advanced equipment that may exist, through this method.
Fan Ren shook his head, casting these messy thoughts out of his mind.
Now is not the time to consider these.
Obviously, when weak, regardless of the Galactic Alliance’s future, at least at the current stage of human civilization, this organization completely serves as a protective umbrella for human civilization.
Although the purpose is not pure, under the rules, if one wants to act against human civilization, they must first consider whether it is worth it.
“Look, that is the Galactic Alliance Office, where you can handle registration, declare war, merger, sovereign territory expansion, and other matters.”
The Fox clearly disliked this place very much, with some impatience in his tone, pointing to another building in the distance.
Fan Ren did not blame him, subconsciously looking in the direction where the Fox extended his hand.
There, about 500 kilometers away, a grand building stood in space.
And above it, an enormous emblem formed by five strange spaceships seemed to exist eternally, standing perpetually in space.
“This is the emblem of the Galactic Alliance. The five spaceships on it are the main Titan Warships under the flags of those Five Great Super Civilizations.”
The Fox looked at that emblem with unconcealed envy in his eyes, but then suddenly turned his head to glance at Fan Ren, seeming hesitant to speak.
Fan Ren vaguely guessed his intention but did not pay attention to him.
Many matters, he himself was not very clear about either.
Just like what the Fox had said, the length, width, and height of the Conqueror obviously exceeded the size of a normal Titan-class Battleship.
And judging from the Fox’s current expression, it was very likely that the Conqueror’s size could even rival the main Titan Warships of the Five Great Super Civilizations.
His face could not help but become somewhat grave.
If that was the case, then it seemed that in the future, the deployment of the Conqueror must be even more concealed, and activity minimized as much as possible.
Although he did not know to what extent the pre-human civilization had developed, nor the specific reason for its annihilation, the matter was of great importance, and precautions could not be neglected.
“Advance, handle the registration matters first.”
Fan Ren spoke faintly in the fleet channel. As his voice fell, the entire fleet slowly sailed toward the Galactic Alliance Office ahead.
The Sirius Civilization Navy fleets around showed no safety concerns whatsoever toward this fleet that could only advance using basic propulsion systems.
In the opponent’s capital star system, they did not even perform routine scans on the Peace Messenger.
They directly ignored them.
Several minutes later, the fleet’s speed slowed down, slowly entering the docking bay.
“Alright, office personnel prepare to disembark with me. The rest of the personnel are free to move about within the spaceship.”
After the nano buffer cabin door opened, even with Fan Ren’s calm disposition, he could not help but shake his legs and stretch lazily.
Although under the influence of the nano buffer, bodily functions would not become stiff due to prolonged inactivity, he still subconsciously made these movements.
Nearby, the others followed suit, especially the Fox, who exaggeratedly jumped dozens of times in the command room before quieting down again under Dan Wu’s unkind gaze.
Fan Ren smiled, not minding these things. Unintentionally, he gave Dan Wu a look, then got up and walked toward the cabin door.
After the cabin door opened, several Foreign Affairs Department staff members, as well as Minister of Foreign Affairs Xu Hongwei, were already waiting there.
As the closed-door disciple of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs Zhao Bo, this newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs had completely inherited the style of the late Zhao Bo.
He not only looked extremely handsome, but also unconsciously exuded an elegant yet resolute aura from the inside out.
Although he appeared to be over fifty years old on the surface, with the help of life science, he now looked only in his thirties.
Xu Hongwei nodded to Fan Ren in greeting, then said, “Chairman, all information has been prepared.”
Fan Ren did not dawdle and walked directly into the quick passage, saying, “I trust you to handle things. Although the Foreign Affairs Department has had extremely low work intensity these years, I know that under your leadership, your department has been repeatedly studying the conversation contents of the Fox and Mai Er.”
As he spoke, the surrounding Foreign Affairs Department people hurriedly kept up with the footsteps of this young Chairman of the first committee.
Although this Chairman appeared to be about the same age as their minister, only around thirty, they all knew.
This Chairman was already over a hundred years old this year.
For Fan Ren, as the most watched technology company of humanity, the sole Chairman of Xinghai Technology, his contributions were witnessed by all of humanity.
This committee appointment, although Fan Ren was successfully elected as a businessman.
But for Xinghai, no one regarded it as a commercial company anymore.
In a certain sense, humanity’s current technological level was mainly due to the contributions of Xinghai Technology.
“You flatter me, Chairman. Before my master passed away, he always taught our department that although during that period our Foreign Affairs Department no longer had external work demands and seemed dispensable.
But in fact, in the future—which is now this time segment—is when our Foreign Affairs Department truly needs to step up and achieve effective work accomplishments.
For this, he tirelessly taught us to focus our efforts on space civilization relationship studies.”
Fan Ren helplessly shook his head and deliberately slowed his pace, waiting until Xu Hongwei was shoulder to shoulder with him before placing a hand on his shoulder.
“Alright, stop imitating your master’s style. Old Mr. Zhao watched our Xinghai ‘grow up’; his achievements in the foreign affairs domain are witnessed by all, which is why he could lead the Foreign Affairs Department for decades.
But now it’s the era of us young people. Saying this is not to deny their achievements; I just want to tell you that we are now in a brand new environment that humanity has never faced before.
Many times, our concepts need to break free from the limitations of the original environment. Keep Old Zhao’s words in your heart, but don’t let them influence you too deeply.”
After saying this, Fan Ren let go.
He valued this Minister of Foreign Affairs quite highly.
But at the same time, he was afraid that he might lose his own personality due to Old Zhao’s long-term teachings.
This was not a good thing.
