In the void about 100 light years away from the star sea, there is a relatively wealthy galaxy, the Suleiman Galaxy.
The Suleiman Galaxy is considered a relatively wealthy planetary system among the surrounding galaxies. Because the Suleiman Galaxy has three living planets, the strength of the Suleiman Empire that occupies this place is higher than that of the civilizations in other surrounding planetary systems.
Much more powerful.
For example, the Beirut Empire, which is closest to the Suleiman Empire, will be bullied by the Suleiman Empire. Every few decades, the Suleiman Empire will attack and expand the Beirut galaxy where the Beirut Empire is located, with the intention of conquering it again.
One planetary system becomes a powerful civilization occupying two planetary systems.
This place is far away from the sea of stars. The distance between stars is too large, making travel extremely inconvenient. No powerful civilization will come here at all, so this place has become a refuge for weak civilizations. The civilizations that have fallen here are actually not very strong.
.
But where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there is civilization, there will be fights.
Even in this barren star field, there is still constant competition between civilizations. The Suleiman Empire feels that it is powerful, so it also wants to continue to expand externally and occupy the nearest Beirut Empire.
In the past long years, the war between the Suleiman Empire and the Beirut Empire was dominated by the Suleiman Empire. Because there are three living planets, the population of the Suleiman Empire is several times larger than that of the Beirut Empire.
When both sides have similar technological levels, the more people there are and the more lives they have, the more powerful they are. Therefore, the Suleiman Empire takes the initiative to attack the Beirut Empire every time and suppresses the Beirut Empire.
The most glorious time in the past almost hit Beirut, the home base of the Beirut Empire. However, in the end, the Beirut Empire relied on the advantage of local warfare to forcefully bring down the Suleiman Empire and save their homeland.
Situations similar to those between the Suleiman Empire and the Beirut Empire are very common here in Xinghai. When the strength of each civilization is not very different, it is difficult to do anything to each other.
Even if there is a big difference in strength, such as between level 3 cosmic civilization and level 2 cosmic civilization, this level 3 cosmic civilization has the strength to crush the level 2 cosmic civilization.
However, the starry sky is vast and the universe is endless. Even though the density of stars in the Star Sea is very high and the distance between stars is very close, without a warp engine, it is extremely inconvenient to communicate with each other.
Even if a level 3 cosmic civilization can agree to a level 2 cosmic civilization and occupy their planetary system, if a civilization's territory expands too much, it will be extremely inconvenient to communicate with other galaxies within it, and internal divisions will easily occur.
There have been too many cases of this in the Star Sea, not only for level 3 cosmic civilizations, but also for level 2 cosmic civilizations.
Once it expands too fast in the interstellar universe, it is extremely inconvenient to communicate within it, and it is difficult for the central galaxy to control the galaxies in the border areas. Under such a situation, internal separatist forces will breed, eventually leading to division
.
Some civilizations are divided into several groups, but they are still life-and-death enemies of each other, and would like to destroy each other immediately.
Such things have happened too much here in the galaxy, so the civilizations in the star sea, even if they are as powerful as the Black Yan Empire and the Ziyue Federation, the scope of their control is limited, and they do not occupy too many planetary systems.
Because they are also afraid that once their territory becomes too big, they will be divided internally.
Once there is a division within oneself, the power of one's own civilization will be consumed by internal friction, which will give other civilizations an opportunity to take advantage of it.
This is also the reason why affiliated civilizations and suzerain civilizations are very popular here in Xinghai, because it is impossible for a powerful level 3 cosmic civilization to occupy too vast a territory, but what should we do if we are unwilling to give up the interests of these areas.
You can only use coercion and inducement to make some obedient civilizations become your own subsidiary civilizations. In this way, you can still control large areas through these civilizations, and more importantly, you can get something for nothing.
These subsidiary civilizations regularly need to pay tribute to the overlord civilization and pay huge amounts of wealth to the powerful civilization to seek refuge.
As for weak civilizations, they naturally have no choice. A level 3 cosmic civilization may not be able to occupy a vast void area, but the fleet of a level 3 cosmic civilization can easily destroy itself.
Since you can get a safe living environment by paying the protection fee, you will naturally attach yourself to a powerful civilization and become a subsidiary civilization.
This is also an important reason why the Black Yan Empire and the Ziyue Federation regularly launch wars.
Because these affiliated civilizations under our control are developing rapidly, level 1 civilization has developed into level 2 civilization, and level 2 civilization has developed into level 3 cosmic civilization.
Once a civilization develops to level 3 cosmic civilization, it will have conflicts of interest with other established level 3 cosmic civilizations, and may even threaten the status of established level 3 civilizations in the future.
The Black Yan Empire and the Ziyue Federation each formed a camp. The two camps continued to fight against each other. In the process of this battle, they fought against each other's level 3 cosmic civilizations and level 2 civilizations with potential and threats.
Black hands, eliminate hidden dangers and threats.
Relying on such means, the Black Yan Empire and the Ziyue Federation have always firmly controlled the Star Sea. Once the number of Level 3 cosmic civilizations in the Star Sea increases, it is time for them to launch a new round of war.
This has been known to many civilizations in the star sea for a long time, but everyone is helpless. These two civilizations are too powerful. They have reached the pinnacle of level 3 cosmic civilizations, and they have joined forces to do such a shameless thing.
Things, even if other civilizations join forces, they are no match for them.
This is the situation between civilizations in the sea of stars.
In most cases, it is difficult to do anything to each other, but sometimes the situation is different. Once the civilization adjacent to one's own has advanced by leaps and bounds, its strength has rapidly expanded.
Then the situation will become very bad. Generally, as a civilization becomes stronger, its ambitions will continue to expand, and it will inevitably embark on the path of external expansion.
Being adjacent to such a civilization often means disaster. Obviously, everyone was about the same strength in the last century, but the technology will be far different in the next century. Even if they are beaten to pieces, it will be difficult to save their own galaxy.
.
Once that time comes, life will be very miserable. You must either join forces with other civilizations, or find a way to find a stronger leg.
But most of the time, it will be like the Beirut Empire, wandering from the star sea until it reaches the outermost edge of the star sea before settling down again. Of course, some are very lucky and can also grab a first-class cosmic civilization.
territory, but a first-level cosmic civilization will generally cling to a more powerful second-level cosmic civilization.
If you are not strong, it will be very difficult to survive. You must endure exploitation and continue to grow and progress under oppression.
In recent years, the Suleiman Empire has had the feeling that the Beirut Empire, which was previously inferior to itself, seems to have suddenly become much stronger.
The Suleiman Empire, which was originally tentative, sent a fleet to the Beirut Empire, wanting to test the strength of this old neighbor and also try to see if there was any chance of defeating the Beirut Empire and occupying the Beirut galaxy.
However, this fleet was sent out, but in the end it returned with a disastrous defeat. It was defeated by the Beirut Empire. In fact, the fleet of the Beirut Empire even attacked the Suleiman Galaxy, looking menacing and wanting to avenge its previous shame.
.
This shocked the entire Suleiman Empire. The little mouse of the Beirut Empire actually came back to kill him. Scientists from the Suleiman Empire also re-estimated the strength of the Beirut Empire.
The attack range of the weapons of the Beirut Empire has been doubled, and the speed and flexibility of the space battleship have also been greatly improved. This technology seems to have made great progress in a short period of time.
The technology of the Beirut Empire must have developed by leaps and bounds, which makes the Suleiman Empire sleepless nights, because once the Beirut Empire consolidates its technology and its strength is comprehensively improved.
In the future, the Beirut Empire will suppress the Suleiman Empire.
After all, the two civilizations are too close to each other, and the Suleiman Galaxy is a rich galaxy with three life planets. The Beirut Empire will not let go of the Suleiman Galaxy no matter what.
of fat.
What's more, in history, the Suleiman Empire repeatedly invaded the Beirut Empire, and the two civilizations had deep hatred against each other. Now that the other side has the strength, how can it not retaliate?
Everyone in the Suleiman Empire has realized a terrible fact. The days ahead may not be easy, unless the technology on the Suleiman Empire also advances by leaps and bounds, and the balance between the strength of the Suleiman Empire and the Beirut Empire is restored again, or even surpassed.
