The information of the twenty-four captains who set off first had already been placed in front of him. How could Rathi not know who Carlos was?
He immediately interrupted Carlos.
I'm not interested in listening to your big report. Hurry up and tell me the details of the situation. That's the important thing!
"Your Majesty, our ship has arrived at Jerez and has made initial contact with the evil human race."
Rathi raised his eyebrows as soon as he heard the beginning.
'The evil human race?
'What's going on?'
To be honest, Rathi did not know about this …
After all, he was only in charge of the general direction of the Empire. The details were handled by his ministers.
For example …
That year, after he made up his mind to have the Seras Empire and the Salamo Republic send out all their forces to the Wilster Superstar Cluster to exterminate the human race and obtain the secret of how the human race killed Haig, the ministers under his command carried out a lot of propaganda about the human race in the empire's army.
Therefore, Latis really didn't know the name of the evil race, humans.
However, although he did not know, he could roughly guess what the situation was.
"Mm, continue!"
Looking at Carlos, who stopped because of his raised eyebrows, Lasti did not say anything and let him continue.
"Your Majesty, we have made initial contact with the humans and expressed our wish to establish a virtual space to communicate with them according to your instructions. We are currently waiting for their reply."
"You did well. However, don't mention the evil human race when you are in contact with them to avoid making them unhappy and causing the entire plan to fail."
"Yes, I understand, Your Majesty!"
"Alright, continue to wait for the humans' reply. Once the communication channel is established, I will communicate with them personally."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Just as Carlos was reporting to Rathi, Lin Tian was also reporting to Lin Fan.
"Brother, what do you think they mean?"
After briefly explaining the situation, Lin Tian asked Lin Fan in confusion.
"It's hard to say, but one thing I'm sure of is that the complexity of the forces in the Nerkeia Supercluster is definitely far beyond our expectations."
"As you know, we know almost nothing about the other end of the ocean current, that is, the Nerkeia Supercluster. This is not a lack of information, but a complete lack of information!"
"And the lack of intelligence means that we may be directly defeated by unexpected forces at any time because we don't have the corresponding countermeasures. This is a very dangerous signal!"
"Therefore, this is also an opportunity for us, an opportunity to understand the other side of the ocean current!"
Shaking his head, Lin Fan thought for a moment and said.
The Nerkeia Supercluster had always been a thorn in Lin Fan's heart. It was also an obstacle to the expansion of the Federation.
One of the only two exits was blocked, and almost half of the federation's fleets had to be stationed there for a long time. Just as Lin Fan had said, the federation's expansion had been delayed by it.
The problem of Nerkeia had reached the point where it had to be solved. The appearance of the Zi Lun Empire this time was likely to be an opportunity, an opportunity to completely solve the problem of Nerkeia.
The only troublesome thing was that the Zi Lun Empire claimed to be a level 10 technological civilization. In other words, this was an empire that was not weaker than the Federation. In most aspects, it was even stronger than the Federation.
Therefore, the Federation couldn't directly accept the other party as their own subsidiary civilization like they did with the civilizations in the Bosnian Supercluster.
Well, it was a bit redundant to think about this now. After all, he still didn't know anything about the situation over there. He had to at least wait until he understood the situation before he could make the most correct judgment!
"Lin Tian, inform them that we agree to establish a dialogue with them. You are responsible for establishing a virtual space as a dialogue channel. Inform me after you're done, I will talk to them personally!"
"Got it, brother!"
-----
After ending the call with Lin Fan, Lin Tian immediately arranged for his men to get to work.
Establishing a virtual space dedicated to the dialogue between the two sides was a piece of cake for the Federation. It could be completed in less than a minute. Then, he contacted Carlos again, sent them the information of the entrance, and agreed to an official meeting in an hour.
When Carlos reported the news, Lasti was in a good mood.
After all, the first step of his plan, which was also the most crucial step, had been achieved. Now, it was time to convince the humans to cooperate with him to fight against Garen!
Lasti had full confidence in this. After all, he had a bargaining chip that the humans absolutely couldn't refuse …
While the two sides were preparing, time passed quietly. Soon, an hour had passed.
In an extremely simple virtual space that didn't have the slightest sense of simplicity, two figures appeared. In the hundreds of Supercluster that covered this area, the two most powerful technological civilizations met.
"I'm Emperor Lasti of the Zi Lun Empire, a level 10 technological civilization. May I know who you are?"
"I'm Lin Fan of the Starfleet, a level 8 technological civilization. I'm the Human Federation's Marshal of the Starfleet!"
It seemed to have become a common practice for civilizations to report their civilization level at the beginning of contact. After all, in this dark universe, strength was always respected.
However, after Lin Fan reported his identity, Lasti was obviously stunned.
In his mind, the humans should be at least a level 9 civilization, or even a quasi-level 10 or 10 technological civilization.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain how the humans destroyed the fleets of the Seras Empire and the Salamo Republic. Not to mention a level 8 technological civilization, even a peak level 8 or quasi-level 9 civilization would not be able to do this.
Even if you had the absolute advantage of the ocean flow port defense, it would still be the same.
However, now that Lin Fan claimed to be a level 8 technological civilization, Lasti was dumbfounded.
A level 8 technological civilization's warship had dark energy weapons?
A level 8 technological civilization had a level 10 dark energy user?
"Your Excellency Lin Fan, the Zi Lun Empire is very sincere. Please be honest. If you're only a level 8 technological civilization, how did you destroy the fleets of the Seras Empire and the Salamo Republic?
"Those were the fleets of two level 9 technological civilizations. Yes, although their fleets were less than half of their peak when they attacked, they were still a level 9 technological civilization!"
Lasti's voice gradually became louder as he spoke.
Obviously, he was a little angry. He thought that Lin Fan was treating him like a fool!
"Your Majesty Lasti, please calm down. The Federation is indeed a level 8 technological civilization. I have no reason to lie to you about this!
But at the same time, we're not an ordinary level 8 technological civilization!
We're a level 8 technological civilization that has developed several levels in the field of dark energy … "
