"That's right. Refugees..." Keith Maxwell said, "More than 20 years ago, all we had was a refugee ship, hundreds of thousands of people in hibernation, and a huge number of frozen embryos.
Apart from that, we have nothing... So, starting more than 20 years ago, we have been working on a small habitable satellite bit by bit, building our home and raising our future generations."
"In 20 years... you have developed into a powerful warlord in the galaxy second only to the Galactic Empire?" Admiral Chiara felt unbelievable.
"Before I was awakened from hibernation, too many things happened. Our fourth civilization has been able to develop to this day and become so powerful in just 20 years, entirely because of our leader - Grand Duke of Dawn, Tang Dynasty
"Xiao." Keith Maxwell said, "You may not be able to imagine how powerful and wise he is... Every decision he makes is full of foresight, and more importantly... full of...
Aggressive."
Admiral Chiara's expression became solemn. There is no doubt that the three words "aggressive" are contrary to the philosophy of Chisling. For them, this is also the most dangerous word.
"Before the establishment of the Principality of Dawn, we called ourselves the Fourth Civilization. This name is still used even now, but the Principality of Dawn refers to the area we control, and the Fourth Civilization refers to the inheritance inherited from our refugee ship.
The spirit and will." Keith Maxwell said.
"Why do you call it the Fourth Civilization? As far as I know, even if it is the Galactic Empire, its full name is just the First Empire of the Galaxy. What are the three civilizations before you?" Admiral Chiara was a little confused.
"Perhaps because we have been drifting for so long, many of us have lost most of our memories of the past. But among the remaining pictures in my mind... I can indeed see war, fire, and death."
Keith Maxwell looked at the ceiling, filled with emotion, his thoughts gradually wandering, "Why fourth? Because in the database of the refugee ship, we were once the last survivors in the entire galaxy.
In the entire galaxy, there are only a few hundred thousand people and those frozen embryos alive."
Admiral Chiara remained silent.
"...Actually, I still can't believe that those terrible legends are true..." Keith Maxwell looked at the ceiling and said slowly, "Actually, even the records in the database are very fragmented.
But it can be roughly understood that at that time, our galaxy encountered three disasters that could be called natural disasters. Each natural disaster was enough to destroy the galaxy. For example, one of them was called the 'Supreme Agreement'
The ancient super AI, this AI sent a tachyon ghost signal to all the robots in the entire galaxy, triggering a robot rebellion throughout the galaxy, and this is already the simplest description... because the whole process is more complicated and more terrifying...
"
"At that time, all civilizations in the entire galaxy united to fight. Every nation with different cultures, habits, languages, and even living environments united to fight for survival. We succeeded for the first time,
We succeeded for the second time, but the third time... we no longer have the power." Keith Maxwell sighed, "So, we are the fourth civilization. Because we have fought against the entire galaxy three times.
, and now, it’s the fourth time.”
"The civilizations of the entire galaxy unite...I...can't imagine such a scene, but I can only say that perhaps no grand epic can describe such a scene." Admiral Chiara shook his head with emotion.
Keith Maxwell said: "I don't know how much of the history left behind is true, but the facts are before us. There are many different races in the refugee ship, and how they stayed in the end
Cultural inheritance. Only refugees who have experienced river system-level natural disasters will have such a diverse inheritance... because the inheritance of these civilizations can show how powerful and glorious they were."
"So, the Star Spirit is also one of them?" Admiral Qiara asked.
"That's right. I don't have any information about the stars in my memory, but this is also natural... the wars throughout the galaxy, for ordinary people like us, we will always see only the tip of the iceberg. But I know that the stars
Spirits once created an extremely splendid civilization and also experienced painful nirvana and rebirth. They are warriors worthy of respect." Keith Maxwell said.
"So, what do you mean when you tell me about your Dawn Principality?" Admiral Chiara asked slowly.
"I want to tell you the code of conduct of the fourth civilization... Grand Duke Tang Xiao of Dawn, he has inherited the will of countless races in the entire galaxy. Everything he does is at the level of the entire galaxy." Kai
Maxwell's tone contained admiration for Tang Xiao, "Even if there is only one refugee ship, he only wants to rule the entire galaxy. Because for our civilization, which has been destroyed three times, wanting to
Surviving and integrating the power of the entire galaxy is just the beginning."
"I understand... So our Chisi Territory is just a piece of cake on the expansion of your fourth civilization? Right." Admiral Chiara's tone gradually became colder.
Keith Maxwell stood up. The trace of cynicism in his expression completely disappeared, replaced by pride, disdain, and pride... He came to Admiral Chiara with the same tone.
Becoming cold, "The fourth civilization is a civilization that carries the heritage of countless races. At least, here, we have unparalleled tolerance. You can't resist, but at least you can choose a decent gesture. Yes, my
It means...welcome to join the fourth civilization."
"Do you think I will betray my civilization?" Admiral Chiara's tone began to become a little dangerous.
"As you said, I am just a captain." Keith Maxwell said, "But after all, I am the deputy commander of the Second Exploration Fleet of the Principality of Dawn. Regarding some of the Chiss Territory's plans and strategies,
Naturally, I was involved, including this Borg-Lei incident. You will not hear any remorse or self-blame from me. I will only give the advice I think is most appropriate - from the perspective of a friend."
Admiral Chiara stood up and walked towards the door of the bridge.
Keith Maxwell said behind her: "You should understand that even if you resign, things will not change. But I think that at least you stay in this position is the best thing for Chisling.
the best choice."
