Chapter 565: Chapter 562: The Spaceship in the Trading Market

One military spaceship after another rose from the surface, while humanity’s sole mother ship, The Kunlun Mountain, activated its ion engine, changed its course, and adjusted to an optimal attack position.

Even though these spaceships were likely dispatched from the interstellar trading market, New Human Civilization still had to be cautious—what if they belonged to a different civilization?

On the other side, the Tos Civilization, after giving a heads-up to the New Human Side, made the same move.

The military spaceships of the Tos Civilization outnumbered those of humans and adopted a similar defensive posture.

In short, if an unknown civilization really came to cause trouble at this time, they must unite and drive the intruders away!

Even if the opposing party was a Fourth-level Civilization and undefeatable, they would fight to the death!

In such a critical moment, any slight chaos was a matter of life and death!

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, and at this time, he could only quietly wait; the discussion in the conference room was very soft.

Several generals were currently in contact with the military of the Tos Civilization.

Zhang Yuan whispered, "These rapidly flying discs, emitting bright light, theoretically have a very low chance of being enemies. Otherwise, the opposition should have come stealthily."

"Let’s wait, just wait a bit more patiently."

After a good while, the command center suddenly received a burst of electromagnetic waves: "Greetings to our friends from the New Human Civilization and the Tos Civilization. We are the transport fleet from the Huantai Civilization Interstellar Trading Market, here due to a prior contract."

"Please do not launch an attack!"

"If losses occur due to military actions, you shall bear all responsibility."

Zhang Yuan and a few friends exchanged glances, each seeing the intense excitement in the other’s eyes.

The crisis was averted!

A buzzing cheer also erupted in the conference room.

Of course, from a procedural perspective, they still needed to verify the authenticity of the entire "Huantai Civilization Fleet," but, theoretically, there shouldn’t be any major problems...

Since this operation was confidential, it was improbable for the trading market to betray human movements. Additionally, with no cosmic strings nearby, it was unlikely for other civilizations to venture over.

Four slow hours passed, and the fleets from the three parties began to connect.

Human drones were the first to start filming these flying discs up close.

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and clearly saw the specific appearance of these alien spaceships: each was a semi-circular large flying disc, about 3 kilometers in diameter, with several thick ion thrusters below, meaning these spaceships could forcefully land on planets.

This type of spaceship, once seen in the interstellar trading market, should be authentic.

An expert exclaimed, "Having a curvature engine is a real advantage. These spaceships are designed in such a strange way... But this should be a very suitable model for warp speed travel; it’s worth our reference."

In total, two large flying discs were allocated to the New Human Side, while the Tos Civilization, having deeper roots and a larger population, rented more—six in total.

Soon, a few human soldiers entered the flying discs to perform safety checks.

The outer protruding parts of these flying discs could rotate to simulate centrifugal force, and the rooms inside were empty, nearly void of anything, except for a few energy input devices that could adjust various parameters of electricity input.

"Report, these energy transfer device models are universal models in the interstellar trading market! Specifically, they are the Standard Signal DX-1102 models."

Seeing this, many people heaved a sigh of relief, knowing with these parameters they almost had conclusive evidence, and they couldn’t help but feel eager to try.

"The final step of the entire plan has finally arrived."

There were no aliens inside the flying disc, only a long, insect-like smart robot emerged, instructing humans to sign the corresponding contract.

A screen displayed on its head showed the common text of the Milky Way, "Respected New Human Civilization, greetings, I represent the Huantai Civilization Interstellar Trading Market."

"We have already arrived in the contract-specified area ahead of time, please, respected leader of your civilization, sign the supplementary agreement here, leave video footage, and pay the remaining AmiBa Points."

"You will obtain the usage rights to this batch of spaceships until the cosmic time AD782353-9211-0092. If you exceed the limit, you will need to pay additional AmiBa Points..."

"The purpose of this batch of spaceships is strictly for transportation. Please do not use them for other purposes, and do not disassemble them for research. If you rashly disassemble them, we will pursue reimbursement from 10,000 to 200,000 AmiBa points."

"In the case of spaceship damage due to accidents, your civilization will bear the burden, and the Huantai Civilization Interstellar Trading Market will retain the right to trace compensation..."

"Regarding the energy system access model as..."

"Once your civilization pays the remaining AmiBa points, I will inform you of the spaceship’s startup password and the large centrifuge activation password..."

The artificial intelligence kept chattering about the usage of these spaceships and various other details.

Since only a few artificial intelligences had come, some in the meeting room couldn’t help but have crooked thoughts—these were genuine Level 4 civilization spaceships, and they seemed to have no defense mechanisms. If they could detain these spaceships, could they gain greater benefits?

However, soon after weighing the pros and cons, those voices of discussion faded.

There was no need to create issues at this moment.

To detain these spaceships, would it be that easy?

Who knew what secret weapons or other defense mechanisms might be inside?

"My friends, if we really got a spaceship, we would definitely save a lot of energy. We might develop for another five hundred or a thousand years and still not be able to produce such high-performance spaceships that can travel at 10 times the speed of light. But after careful consideration, it’s best not to engage in any conspiracies..."

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, "It’s not wise to annoy a Level 4 civilization that is relatively friendly to humans just for a few spaceships unless we never go to the Amoeba Faction’s trading markets again..."

"Of course, while traveling, measuring the mechanical structure of the spaceship is no issue at all. It’s not bad to completely document it; it will save a lot of time later."

Zhang Yuan’s suggestion received widespread agreement.

To become a powerful civilization, one must have what’s called "credit." Zhang Yuan still remembered that in many meetings at the interstellar trading market, there were large gatherings of aliens coming together to condemn some civilization’s breach of contract. They would publicize the appearance, living environment, and approximate location of that civilization’s mother star, and more.

This condemnation was not pointless; after learning about these issues, everyone would cease doing business with that civilization, at least not as a first priority...

Even if that civilization wanted to change their identity, it would be difficult, such as changing appearances. Altering genes might be simple, but changing aesthetic standards was incredibly difficult.

Humans have a certain distance between their eyes, an approximate proportion, and the proportions of eyebrows, mouth, and nose. Altering these proportions would make them look quite ugly.

Blindly massively changing appearances could greatly increase the likelihood of a civilization’s collapse!
