In the control and command center of the 'Explorer' space battleship, Liao Yuan, Pan Zhang and others, who had just been admiring the beautiful starry sky scenery of the sea of stars, immediately became nervous.
The space battleship is located far away from the interior of the star and belongs to the Kuiper Belt area on the periphery of the star. In this area, not long after arriving, the spacecraft unexpectedly encountered it.
The basic probability is that the 'Explorer' was discovered by the owner here, so the other party sent a spacecraft here.
Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the exchanges between civilizations here are very close, so spaceships can be encountered in the void.
The former is more likely, but the latter is also more likely, because the distance between stars here is really too close, and the density of stars is too high. There are actually several stars in just one light-year.
star.
According to the information about the Star Sea obtained from the Beirut Empire, the closer to the Star Sea, the denser the stars, the richer the resources, and the more powerful the civilizations occupying these areas.
Of course, on the periphery of the star sea, the strength of these civilizations is limited. They are all level 2 cosmic civilizations or level 1 cosmic civilizations. It is impossible for a level 3 cosmic civilization to appear.
The difference in strength between this Level 2 cosmic civilization and Level 2 cosmic civilization is also very huge, and can even be described as a world of difference.
A powerful Level 2 cosmic civilization not only occupies the vast starry sky, but also has a large number of living planets and populations, while a weak Level 2 cosmic civilization, such as the Beirut Empire, cannot survive in the galaxy.
It can only wander to the outermost areas of the star sea and only occupy one planetary system.
The space battleship "Explorer" is 100 light-years away from the star sea. The civilizations that can occupy these areas are relatively powerful civilizations among level 2 space civilizations, so the probability of encountering a spaceship is quite high.
"Enter level one combat readiness~"
Without any hesitation, Liao Yuan immediately ordered a high alert.
There was only one space battleship. If the other party had the intention of attacking him, Liao Yuan would not care what civilization the other party belonged to. He would just attack first and then use the warp engine to escape.
Anyway, the 'Explorer' cannot be in danger and must be careful and cautious. It is too far away from the solar system.
As Liao Yuan's order was issued, unmanned space fighter aircraft quickly took off on the 'Explorer' space battleship, forming a huge protective circle in the void around the space battleship.
At the same time, the energy cannon on the space battleship also began to accumulate energy and was instantly in an attack state. Everyone on the battleship was on high alert. As long as Liao Yuan gave the order, they would immediately enter the battle.
"Cao Yadong, where we are now."
Liao Yuan had a thought and asked Cao Yadong through the virtual world.
"Our current location should be in the area between the three civilizations of the Rajas Federation, the Cormyr Empire, and the Dingbo Kingdom."
Cao Yadong quickly sent the location information of the 'Explorer' space battleship to Liao Yuan, Pan Zhang and everyone on the battleship.
"The Federation of Rajas is a commercial level 2 cosmic civilization that welcomes outsiders. The Cormyr Empire is very aggressive and powerful. The Kingdom of Dingbo is a **** civilization and is very xenophobic~"
Liao Yuan thought, and the quantum computer automatically searched for relevant information. This information was also obtained from the Beirut Empire. Of course, this information was thousands of years ago. I don't know whether it is still the same now.
"Send me what you find about the spacecraft."
Liao Yuan had a thought and issued the order again.
Soon, the person in charge of exploration on the battleship sent over the situation detected by the detector on the Explorer.
"The five spaceships are all Qinglong-class spaceships. The formation is not an offensive formation."
"Currently, these five spacecraft are all flying by inertia and have not changed their formations. They should not be targeting us."
Soon, Liao Yuan immediately came to a conclusion based on the detected information, which made him relax slightly, but he still did not relax his vigilance.
"When the spacecraft starts, it cannot stop, otherwise it will easily become a living target."
Liao Yuan has issued a new order. Originally, every time the space battleship "Explorer" flew at warp speed, it had to stop for a few days to rest and carry out relevant maintenance work, so it was very slow now.
"Captain, the other party has sent a message."
At this time, Pan Zhang came over and said to Liao Yuan.
"Has it been translated?"
Liao Yuan asked quickly.
"It has been translated. These five spaceships are spaceships belonging to the second-level cosmic civilization Tianmu Civilization. This Tianmu Civilization is considered to be a relatively famous civilization in the surrounding area that specializes in cultivating and selling slaves. These five spaceships are to us.
Conveyed a friendly message and asked us if we had the intention to purchase slaves."
Pan Zhang nodded and explained clearly the origins of these five spaceships and the messages sent there.
"Temple Civilization?"
"Cultivate and sell slaves?"
When Liao Yuan heard this, he was slightly dumbfounded, and then with a thought, he began to search for information related to the Tianmu Civilization and the interstellar slave trade.
Tianmu Civilization is a very powerful level 2 cosmic civilization. Of course, Tianmu Civilization is also a civilization on the periphery of the Star Sea, not a civilization within the Star Sea.
The base camp of Tianmu Civilization is about 10 light-years away from the "Explorer" space battleship. Tianmu Civilization occupies a total of nearly 20 planetary systems and has more than 30 living planets.
It is considered a powerful little overlord in the surrounding area, and the main business of the Tianmu Civilization is to cultivate and sell interstellar slaves. The interstellar slaves of the Tianmu Civilization are the most popular commodities among the many civilizations in the surrounding area.
At the same time, content related to the interstellar slave trade in the galaxy also appeared in Liao Yuan's mind.
According to the information obtained by the Beirut Empire, the interstellar slave trade is one of the three most important trades in the star sea. The interstellar slave trade is also the most profitable industry along with the interstellar arms trade.
In the sea of stars, there are many merchants engaged in the interstellar slave trade, and there are many civilizations. Almost every merchant walking in the interstellar universe can be regarded as an interstellar slave merchant, and more or less they will bring some interstellar slaves with them.
Of course, there are also some merchants who specialize in the interstellar slave trade. There are even some civilizations like the Tianmu Civilization where the entire civilization is engaged in the interstellar slave trade. The interstellar slave trade is really very profitable.
The sources of interstellar slaves are very wide. Most interstellar slaves are people from low-level cosmic civilizations. Like the civilizations on primitive planets, level 1 civilizations are the main source of interstellar slaves.
As for the slaves of level 2 cosmic civilization, there are no longer a few. Sometimes there is a war between level 2 cosmic civilization and level 2 cosmic civilization. If the winner occupies the life planet of the hostile civilization, all the people on this planet will be sold to
Interstellar slave trader.
There are very, very few people in Level 3 cosmic civilization, because Level 3 cosmic civilization is very powerful. Once someone is found who dares to sell their own civilization, they will immediately be dealt a devastating blow by Level 3 cosmic civilization.
Moreover, level 3 cosmic civilizations often have relevant systems. If you encounter people from level 3 cosmic civilizations who are wandering outside, you can often get a large bonus by sending them back to level 3 cosmic civilizations.
Of course, there are still some people from level 3 cosmic civilizations who are being sold as part of interstellar efforts. After all, the forest is big, and anything can happen.
What's more, for businessmen, as long as they have money, there is nothing they dare not do.
Anyway, the sea of stars is so big. The stars of this level 3 cosmic civilization are trying their best to sell them into a corner, and no one knows.
The interstellar slaves of these level 3 cosmic civilizations are often the most expensive interstellar slaves, because sometimes, some people of level 3 cosmic civilizations will master a lot of advanced technologies. By squeezing these people of level 3 cosmic civilizations, they can promote the development of their own civilization and technology.
develop.
Of course, it is best not to let level 3 cosmic civilization know about such things, otherwise it will be an endless war. Level 3 cosmic civilization is the overlord in the galaxy, and no one dares to offend easily.
"Interesting, he is actually a space merchant who sells interstellar slaves."
After figuring this out, Liao Yuan was completely relieved. Then he thought for a while and said, "Pan Zhang, are you interested in going to see their interstellar slaves together?"
"I'm very curious now about what this interstellar effort will be like."
"Yes, I was just about to go and see how this interstellar slave was doing. Anyway, our battleship needs a few days for maintenance, so I can just go and have a look."
Pan Zhang also showed a strong interest. This interstellar slave merchant, interstellar slave, is also worth a visit.
"Tell them that we are interested and come and see for yourself."
