Chapter 1331 Black Zone Civilization! Self-knowledge!

In the Rat civilization, which is close to the territory of the Two-Horned Civilization but has no interaction with the Two-Horned Civilization, a meeting is taking place at the highest level of the civilization.

A thin but metallic-looking Rat was sitting in a huge interstellar conference room, with projections of leaders of other civilizations on both sides.

Led by the Rat civilization, these civilization leaders gathered in the interstellar conference room together constitute a huge [Black Zone Civilization] system called Rat.

Dozens of relatively weak civilizations chose to rely on the Lat civilization, and obtained the resources brought out of the unknown "black area" by the Lat civilization through trade and other means.

As a result, the Rat civilization obtained many technologies and resources that were missing from the development of civilizations from these civilizations, making itself increasingly powerful.

It sounds a bit difficult to understand. The overall strength of the Rat civilization is obviously much stronger than other civilizations. Why is there some aspects that are inferior to other civilizations?

It’s actually not that difficult to understand.

Except for a truly all-round super civilization without any shortcomings, any civilization has its own strengths and weaknesses.

The Rat civilization uses the technology and resources of other civilizations to make up for its own areas of weakness in order to destroy a truly comprehensive super civilization.

Leader Rat looked at the projection in front of him and spoke in a calm tone.

"In recent years, the number of civilizations capable of entering the [Void Sea] has increased, and the territories of many civilizations have bordered or even conflicted with each other."

"Currently, the resources in the [Void Sea] are beginning to fall short of their expenditures, and are insufficient to fully support the development of more civilizations."

"Our Rath civilization has recently begun to experience friction with other neighboring civilizations. This is something that deserves our attention."

"For the continued healthy development of the Rath civilization system, and to prevent unrest among the civilizations present here due to resource issues."

"I decided to intensify my exploration of the unknown black area."

Having said that, Leader Rat leaned forward slightly, supported himself on the armrests of the chair with his arms, and looked at the leaders of other civilizations present with a majestic gaze.

"And this time, your civilizations will have to contribute some effort to the exploration of the unknown black zone."

"Everyone should be aware that your civilization's technology and resources are no longer very helpful in guiding the current Rat civilization."

"If I want to continue to accept the protection of my Rat civilization, I will have to pay some new price."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the leaders of civilizations present were suddenly in an uproar and began to whisper to each other.

Leader Rat had anticipated this situation and had no intention of stopping them. Instead, he leaned back in his chair and watched coldly.

As a result, these whispers soon developed into noisy exchanges, and some civilization leaders even quarreled over disagreements.

After an unknown amount of time, the noise gradually died down.

"Why, everyone agrees?"

Seeing that all the civilization leaders' eyes were turned to him again, Leader Rat spoke slowly.

"You're joking. The development of our civilization has long been tied to that of the Rat civilization. It's a situation where we prosper together and suffer together."

"The discussion just now was simply about how much effort we should put into cooperation, so as not to provide too little help and hinder the Rat civilization."

The leader of the civilization closest to the Rat leader spoke as a representative.

"Oh, so what was the result of the discussion?"

"We have decided to cooperate to the best of our ability."

Hearing this, Leader Rat finally smiled and spoke in a kind tone.

"I knew you were all smart people."

"Then later, I'll have someone send over the overall requirements for this exploration of the unknown black zone. Everyone can use this as a reference to mobilize forces."

"Understood."xN

After hearing the reply, Leader Rat waved his hand and was about to end the meeting, but suddenly remembered something at the last moment.

He warned with a serious expression.

"Remember, once you enter the unknown black zone, no matter what opportunities and resources you encounter, know when to stop."

“Never let greed blind you.”

After saying this, without paying any attention to the leaders of other civilizations who seemed to be in deep thought, Leader Rat simply waved his hand to end this remote meeting.

……

one year later.

After coordination from all aspects, a huge fleet led by the Rat civilization fleet and followed by other civilizations was finally assembled.

Hundreds of thousands of spaceships comparable to planets, surrounding tens of thousands of motherships comparable to supermassive stars, left the territory of the Rat civilization in a mighty force and headed towards the unknown "black zone" closest to the territory.

The fleet does not seem to be large in number.

In fact, it has gathered one-fifth of the power of the Rat civilization and nearly half of the power of other civilizations.

As the fleet took away so much power, would other civilizations come to take advantage of the situation?

Rat Wenming said, come if you have the courage.

All [Black Zone Civilizations], because they all rose in the process of exploring the unknown "Black Zone", maintain an amazing tacit understanding with each other.

It can also be said to be an unspoken rule.

That is, all [Black Zone Civilizations] will never take action like other [Black Zone Civilizations] like themselves.

To a certain extent, the civilizations that choose to explore the unknown "black areas" that have not been destroyed all have very similar underlying logic.

That means knowing when to stop and being self-aware.

As long as others do not take the initiative to attack, they will not take the initiative to attack others, and they will never take away resources above the standard when exploring unknown "black areas".

This standard is the bottom line that all [Black Zone Civilizations] have set for themselves.

In this way, without having to worry about other [Black Zone Civilizations] attacking them, the strength retained by the Rat civilization is enough to deal with any civilization other than the [Black Zone Civilization] that attempts to attack them.

If there is a civilization that really tries to challenge us beyond its capabilities, the Rat civilization will not mind chopping off its claws.

"Haha, I really hope that there's a civilization that's smart enough to let the fleet move around."

As he watched the huge fleet disappear, Leader Rat muttered to himself with a smile.

"I hope they heeded my warning..."

Although I don’t know what will happen if I don’t listen to Leader Rat’s warning, judging from Leader Rat’s expression, the consequences will probably not be good.

In this way, while the Rat civilization was accustomed to it and other civilizations were expecting it but also feeling uneasy, the huge Rat fleet arrived outside the unknown "black zone".

Before officially entering, the number one leader of the Rat fleet held another remote meeting, mainly repeating the warnings of the Rat leader.

"Everyone, enough is enough."
