The Way Back to Civilization - Chapter 34
Chapter 34 Preliminary Results
In the solemn hall, a member of parliament in uniform was standing in the middle of the round hall, reporting the recent situation to the representatives of the various countries on the stage.
This was the meeting place of the Galaxy Community. The overall layout of the room was in the shape of a staircase. Sitting at the lowest level were the general representatives of the various member states. The members of the member states who were in charge of guiding the meeting were sitting on the lower level.
At the top of the hall, there were four prominent independent platforms. Those were the executives’ seats for this meeting.
At this moment, Princess Clara from the Amarian Empire was listening to the report of the Great Khan below the stage with a bored expression.
“That’s the damage statistics for the various star zones. Without a doubt, this raider force has already become a disaster that can’t be ignored.”
As soon as the councilman finished speaking, the originally quiet meeting hall gradually began to buzz with discussions. It was obvious that they were very worried about the Great Khan’s appearance.
According to the councilman’s report, the existence of the Great Khan united the originally divided raider forces. To date, they had occupied more than four planets and colonies, as well as several mineral centers with rich reserves.
He had more than 500 battleships under him, and more than 10 million soldiers.
From its description alone, its military might was comparable to that of a medium-sized empire, and these numbers continued to increase as the plundering progressed.
The purpose of this meeting of the Community was to discuss whether the Community needed to jointly send troops to eradicate it and, if necessary, who should take the lead in this operation.
At this moment, the Huan Yu Enterprise representative from the middle level of the parliament hall slowly spoke.
“Is the situation really as serious as you say? I think you’re purely exaggerating. It’s impossible to afford the daily energy consumption of 500 warships with just four planets. Even for a company, it’s not a small expense.”
His words were not unreasonable. Such a large number of battleships could not be maintained by just four planets and a few mineral centers.
However, as soon as the representative finished speaking, a meaningful voice came from the board of directors.
“That’s right, but if someone is supporting them from behind and wants to use this opportunity to make a huge profit, it’s hard to say.”
“What do you mean by that?”
There was no doubt that the meeting, which had been going smoothly, had successfully stirred up a debate under a debate under all kinds of suspicion and suspicion.
Hearing the chaos below the stage, Clara, who was sitting in the judging seat, sighed helplessly. If nothing went wrong, this dispute would continue for a while.
However, at this moment, someone suddenly mentioned it in the crowd.
“Everyone, what if I say that they have ancient artifacts in their hands?”
This time, the originally noisy meeting hall instantly fell silent. Everyone couldn’t help but cast their gazes on the council member who spoke of the ancient artifacts, including Clara. “Not long ago, my people accepted a group of refugees who had fled. Those outsiders came from the hostile tribes of the Great Khan.”
“According to them, the Great Khan was able to raise such a large army in short order because he had the help of ancient creation artifacts. It was said to be a Dyson sphere device from ancient humans.”
“It’s precisely because of the near-infinite energy and the continuous plundering of resources that the factories occupied by the Great Khan can continuously produce fleets.”
“And the Khan seems to have more than that in his possession…”
The moment they heard this, the representatives present all revealed expressions of disbelief.
A human-made Dyson sphere device? In the hands of the Great Khan?
Although it sounded unbelievable, it was not completely impossible.
In the past hundred years, the members of the Galaxy Community had carried out many investigations of the Milky Way. However, many areas were still unexplored for various reasons.
The reason for this was that the Milky Way was simply too vast. Other than the mysterious and powerful Lost Empires and the few wanderer civilizations with strange whereabouts, no other faction had been able to uncover all the secrets hidden in the Milky Way by themselves.
Just as everyone was still discussing the existence of the ancient creation, the councilman from before continued to add.
“There’s another thing. Recently, a large number of detection ships from unknown civilizations have appeared in the 4th Star Zone in the northwest. I suspect that this might be related to the rise of the Great Khan.” An unknown civilization’s detection ship? And in the remote and desolate 4th Star Zone? It had to be said that this was also rather interesting news. Because if he remembered correctly, apart from the Kata Planet, which was known as the World of the Dead, there were not many places that could support life.
“Quiet!”
Just as the scene was still discussing, a dignified voice sounded from above the hall. The representatives present looked up one after another and saw that the person who spoke was the assistant officer beside the princess.
Obviously, this meant that the princess called Clara had something to say. For a moment, they all looked at the platform and focused on the solemn girl holding the lion scepter. The other party only gave a simple description.
“After my discussion with Her Majesty, the Amarian Empire has decided to intervene in this matter. In the next week, we will prioritize evaluating this matter and finally decide whether to launch an expedition against the Great Khan. At that time, I hope that everyone can provide the necessary assistance.” Her high and mighty tone was more like a notice than a statement of news.
The reason why the Amarian Empire suddenly agreed to take over the extermination of the Great Khan was naturally not for such a stupid reason like love and peace. Unsurprisingly, their real target was the ancient creation in Khan’s hands-the Dyson sphere facility.
The representatives in the parliament hall were naturally well aware of this, but the problem was that apart from the Amarian Empire and the other three civilizations, it seemed difficult to find anyone else who could fight the Great Khan head-on.
On the other side, after nearly two months of development, the small base that belonged to Gu Fan had already taken shape.
During this period of time, he had sent more than ten Arclight-level research ships to carry out a carpet search of the surrounding galaxies. Therefore, he now had a clearer understanding of his environment.
What interested him the most was that the research ship piloted by the synthetic man successfully brought back relevant information about the Great Khan.
According to reliable intelligence, there was a large-scale pirate base in the central galaxy of the Third Star Zone next door. The research ship had discovered traces of a Dyson Sphere.
If nothing went wrong, this should be the facility occupied by the Great Khan that Lilym mentioned not long ago. The next goal was clear. While the Great Khan was busy fighting and the rear defense was empty.
Gu Fan planned to take the initiative to attack that place. It would be best if he could gather the technological information about the Dyson Sphere and the stored information in the human outposts at once.
Such a goal naturally required the help of a fleet. After two months of full development, other than the Glory Queen class, Gu Fan already had a fleet of 60 specially modified frigates.
However, before that, he still had one place he wanted to go. It was a dead planet filled with poisonous miasma discovered by the research ship a few days ago.
According to the scans, there was a high possibility that a light aircraft carrier belonging to the Human Empire was sinking under the surface of the poisonous swamp.
