Chapter 457: Alliance Agreement
Fermi Civilization would be scared not to fear.
After all, having fully understood the entire situation, Fermi Civilization finally realized that their gap with the Wandering Alliance was not just a technological gap but more of a civilizational system gap. While scientific level could be caught up to with effort, the gap in civilizational systems could only be bridged through a fundamental transformation in thinking to achieve systemic reform.
But such an action itself carries great risk, which is why Fermi Civilization has not changed its system for several billion years.
And it was precisely due to the serious backwardness of their system that restrained the scientific progress of Fermi Civilization and also led to Fermi Civilization, despite being a Level 4 Civilization for a longer time, being quickly surpassed by the Wandering Alliance.
At the same time, Fermi Civilization also finally understood that their crushing defeat in the two wars was not only due to technological levels but also significantly due to systems and ideologies, as aspects such as military strategy, tactical warfare, and offensives are all closely related to ideology. You can't expect a very advanced thing to appear in a very backward system, as it's unlikely, and even if it did happen, it would only be regarded as a freak.
When they fully grasped the essence of the gap between the two.
Fermi Civilization knew that, in fact, as the Desert Sea Star People had said, it was impossible for them to defeat the Wandering Alliance.
However, for them to surrender to the Wandering Alliance and shamelessly join them, that would be absolutely impossible. They would rather die in battle than bow to the Wandering Alliance!
Of course, dying in battle was just momentary bravado, no one really wants to die without being pushed to that point.
Therefore, to avoid actually dying in battle, Fermi Civilization decided to make contact with the Bose Civilization, which was in the same situation as themselves.
At this moment.
The situation of the Bose Alliance was indeed just as terrible.
On the battlefield, the armies of the Bose Alliance were scattered in pieces, continuously retreating in defeat, and every moment Battle Stars were being wiped out by the Wandering Alliance.
Some were directly hit by Quark Decoherence or Flow Base Disassembly and instantly turned into nothingness, but many more were struck by unanticipated Information Shocks, wiping out the consciousness of all biological life in an instant, turning the whole Battle Star into a dead star, silently floating in the starry sky, a sight that chills to the bone!
And because the war was so intense, the Wandering Alliance temporarily had no time to collect those Battle Stars struck by the Information Shock. Therefore, many Battle Stars just floated in the starry space, densely packed like a pile of planet corpses above the Starry Sky Battlefield, giving the far-off impression of a cosmic mass grave.
It was at this time that the Bose Alliance just happened to receive a message from the Fermi Alliance.
To be honest, they were surprised; they never expected the Fermi Alliance to raise the issue of an alliance again.
What surprised the Bose Alliance even more was another message provided by the Fermi Alliance; the Fermi Alliance stated that the Desert Sea Civilization and the Forest Sea Civilization involved in the Anti-Neutron Star incident were not attacked by each other, but by the Wandering Alliance. Furthermore, the Wandering Alliance brainwashed the survivors, who have now become faithful Angels Envoy serving the Wandering Alliance.
Initially, the Bose Alliance did not believe this claim, thinking it might be another conspiracy of the Fermi Alliance. However, after the Fermi Alliance provided the communication proof with Desert Sea Star People and Forest Sea Star People, the Bose Alliance began to believe it. At that moment, the Fermi Alliance proposed the alliance plan again, stating that given the current circumstances, it was impossible for any of their sides to defeat the Wandering Alliance alone, and they must unite to stand a chance.
The leader of the Fermi Civilization, Black Hole Tian Fei, continued, stating that despite their long-standing absolute opposition, this antagonism was not about survival but rather about the antagonism of hate and ideology. Such ideologies are not good things; they cloud people's minds and affect people's judgment. Wasn't their firm conviction that the attacker was the other side influenced by hostilities?
Now they must avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Moreover, in the long history, there were precedents of cooperation between the Fermi Civilization and the Bose Civilization.
Initially, they encountered the Entropy Beast created by the Level 5 Entropy Civilization, and for survival, the Bose Civilization and Fermi Civilization were forced to form an alliance to confront the formidable monster and ultimately succeeded in eliminating the Entropy Beast. It became the only instance of an alliance in Bose-Fermi history. Now, a similar scene was unfolding; they faced an invincible enemy and must ally again to overcome the ordeal!
After listening to Black Hole Tian Fei's persuasion, the leader of the Bose Civilization, Black Hole Tian Bo, was tempted.
But Black Hole Tian Bo did not agree in haste; first, he instructed the military to count the casualties to assess whether they really stood no chance.
Moments later, the Bose military submitted the casualty report. The report indicated that in the two battles, the Bose Alliance had lost over five thousand Battle Stars, ten Constant Star Celestial Civilizations, four White Dwarf Star Civilizations, and four Neutron Star Civilizations. Judging from the losses, the Wandering Alliance seemed to prefer dealing with Celestial Civilizations first. Now, the Bose Alliance was left with only five thousand Battle Stars, two Constant Star Civilizations, one White Dwarf Star Civilization, one Neutron Star Civilization, plus one more with the leader, a Black Hole-level Celestial Body.
Their military strength had diminished a lot compared to before; although the Black Hole-level Celestial Body had not participated in the war, considering the technological level differences, the effect of a black hole wasn't necessarily as good as they thought. Moreover, the leader of the Wandering Alliance, Constant Star Lu Chen, had been absorbing other Constant Star Bodies during the war, which would undoubtedly continue to widen the gap in strength. And after supercomputer simulations, their chance of victory was less than five percent!
As a result, Black Hole Tian Bo finally agreed to the intent of the alliance.
Subsequently, the two sides reached a fifty-fifty agreement.
The so-called fifty-fifty agreement referred to all benefits after the alliance would be split evenly, fifty-fifty.
This was also the reason why the Bose Civilization had previously rejected the alliance proposal because they were fantasizing about obtaining both the Heavenly Nebula and the secret that made the Wandering Alliance science take off at the same time. But after another crushing defeat, they could only reluctantly give up such greedy thoughts and hand over half of the Heavenly Nebula to the Fermi Civilization.
Although at that time, the Heavenly Nebula was still unclaimed.
But from the strategic thinking of all sides, it was certain they all considered the Heavenly Nebula as their own.
When the Bose Civilization and the Fermi Civilization reached an alliance agreement, the situation on the battlefield once again underwent a change.
Under the joint command of Black Hole Tian Bo and Black Hole Tian Fei, the remaining Battle Stars from both sides began to retreat from the battlefield to avoid further conflict with the Wandering Alliance. The Battle Star forces of the two parties converged between the Bose Nebula and the Fermi Nebula, undergoing rapid and straightforward integration and readjustment of their combined military force. Once the force adjustment was completed, they would launch a joint offensive against the Wandering Alliance.
At the same time, light-years away, two civilizations were approaching the Heavenly Nebula from different directions…
