Chapter 1333 Interstellar Stage (47)
The Throne Hall of Mengyu Star Palace has a high curved dome, with tens of thousands of precious gemstones dotted on it, making the incoming sunlight turn into dots of bright light, making it even more noble when it falls on the throne.
The queen wearing a golden robe is different from other women of the Feather Tribe. She has long gorgeous feathers, which are softer and smoother than men's feathers, colorful and beautiful.
Among the long and narrow eyes like lizards, the golden pupils were like jewels inlaid in the eye sockets, the vertical pupils turned slightly, and the Queen's slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Andufus, is this a trap? "
Standing in the center of the throne hall is a male of the Feather Tribe. He is also wearing a noble robe, the feathers on his back have been carefully groomed, and his eyes are full of dignity under the towering eyebrows with spikes.
"Your Majesty, I don't think Loki is trustworthy." The nobleman called Anduvers lowered his head and replied, and then he began to analyze:
"I even think that the interstellar expo held by Asgard is a big trap. We cannot allow such cosmic terrorists to join the interstellar society, otherwise we will definitely lose our prestige. We should expel Loki immediately and plan against Asgard. Clear the boundaries!"
But at this time, another female Feather Tribe wearing light armor standing beside him said: "But if Asgard really intends to return to the interstellar society, then they must find a partner among the three empires, If the Shia Empire rejects them, they will definitely go to the Kree Empire or the Skrull Empire, which will be very bad for us."
The queen standing in front of the throne sighed softly. She was also worried about this. If Asgard was really cheating, she would not be afraid. The three empires had strong foundations, so even if they lost some personnel at the fair, it would be fine.
But if Asgard really changed his gender, then the stable social situation of the interstellar society will definitely experience waves, and the Shi'ar Empire does not have an advantage.
The Queen's deep voice echoed in the Throne Hall:
"Loki will come to us because he feels that we are the weakest of the three empires. We need a strong ally like Asgard, and they also need our status and wealth."
"Compared to this, it is not wise to cooperate with the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire. Whoever gains an overwhelming advantage between the two of them will definitely provoke a war to retaliate against each other. Only by cooperating with the Shia Empire can we avoid such a situation. Condition."
"This is also an opportunity for the Shi'ar Empire." The queen sighed softly and said: "The Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire rely on their own powerful force to continuously harvest the economy of the Shi'ar Empire and the lower interstellar civilization. They've been sucking our blood for years."
The queen slightly raised her head and looked out the window, and said, "Asgard's ambitions for the new king and prince go far beyond this, and even the fourth largest empire is not their end point. Our cooperation with them is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger."
There was silence in the throne room. After a long time, the nobleman named Andufus stepped forward and wanted to remonstrate, but the queen spoke first:
"I decided to accept the olive branch thrown by Asgard, but at the same time, the cunning Loki had to guard against it. Someone, please come and ask Professor Thanos to come over. I want to talk to him alone."
The two Mengyu clansmen standing in the middle of the hall sighed helplessly. Although the Shia Empire is a constitutional monarchy on the surface, the queen and the parliament exist at the same time, but in fact, the queen is the head of the parliament. No one can decide what she decides. Can't change.
Soon, the purple-skinned giant walked into the throne hall, and everyone withdrew, while the queen sat on the throne, tapped the armrest of the throne with her finger, and asked: "What do you say to Loki and the Shia Empire?" What do you think about extending an olive branch?"
"I think this is a friendly signal." Thanos replied, "It's just that the technical cooperation part is not very credible. No empire will hand over its core technology."
"Of course I know this, but I want to know, what are they talking about alone? Even without the transmission technology of the Rainbow Bridge, do they still want to start other technical cooperation with the Xi'ar Empire?"
Thanos sighed softly, but he looked up at the Queen, and asked: "Before that, Your Majesty, I would like to ask you whether the dimension cutting and transporting technology carried out by the Shia Empire is really as rumored A breakthrough has been made?"
The queen frowned, and Thanos immediately explained: "Please forgive my presumptuousness, I have absolutely no intention of prying into the technical secrets of the Shi'ar Empire."
"I'm not a scientist, and I don't know much about teleportation technology, but if the experiment is successful, as the rumors say, then we will have a huge bargaining chip, and we will be able to ask Asgard to pay a greater price. "
The queen was silent for a while, and then said: "Even if I don't say anything, you should be able to guess that if there is any breakthrough, the situation will never be the way it is now."
"Just a week ago, the Supreme Intelligence announced the Kree Empire's new interstellar policy. Their currency issuance this year has increased by another 10%, and all of this has to be paid by the Shi'ar Empire."
"Our strategic deterrence measures are insufficient, and other civilizations in the new area under our jurisdiction have no confidence. Many commercial entities and even entire civilizations have fled. The people have not heard good news for too long. We urgently need a booster."
"In this case, the cooperation with Asgard has to be discussed." Thanos heard the Queen's implication, and the rumors of new breakthroughs in technology were just released by the government to boost public confidence.
Thanos heard the worry in the Queen's tone, and taking advantage of the Queen's slightly confused thoughts at this time, Thanos went further and asked: "So the dimension cutting technology has not made any progress?"
"Of course not." The queen shook her head, as if she felt that Thanos couldn't understand too in-depth technical issues, but said succinctly: "The experiment of dimension cutting technology has long been successful. The problem is that the big portal cannot be cut. I can't even move it."
The queen turned her head to one side, Thanos could hear the loss in her tone, the queen continued: "All our technologies revolve around the big portal, if there is no progress in the technology related to the big portal, then everything will be It's all zero."
"I don't think that's the case." Thanos put forward a contrary argument. He said: "Asgard is the ruler of the Nine Kingdoms, which is equivalent to the royal family of the entire Nine Kingdoms."
"They want to return to the interstellar society. In addition to their own fists, strengthening their overall strength is essential, but there are almost no civilizations in the nine major countries. Except for Asgard, other places are like a wasteland."
"But I heard that the atrium... is the earth..." The Queen frowned slightly, apparently having heard some legends.
"Maybe they have great potential, but it's too early." Thanos shook his head and said: "Except for Asgard, the other civilizations in the nine countries are too young, and Asgard should also be having a headache. Strengthen them, that's their weakness and that's our leverage."
The queen's fingertips that were constantly tapping stopped, her eyes rolled, she looked at Thanos and said, "You mean, actually, the technical cooperation that Asgard wants to carry out with us is not that high-end, they just Need some relatively low-end technology to nurture other civilizations in the Nine Kingdoms?"
"That's right, I think this is the dilemma of Asgard. After all, the Asgards can use divine power directly, but most of the other races in the nine kingdoms cannot, which means that other races can't use it. Asgardian technology."
"Asgard can't help them if they want to strengthen them. Even if they give them all the blueprint energy, they won't use divine power, and they won't be able to drive the machines made by Asgard."
"I think this is the reason for Loki's sudden visit to the Shi'ar Empire. He can't come to see you with great fanfare in an official capacity. If the Skrull Empire and the Kree Empire know their plight, they will definitely carry out technical investigations. The blockade prevents Asgard from obtaining similar technologies through other channels."
"Then we..." the queen said immediately, but she quickly denied the idea in her mind, she said: "No, no, we can't block Asgard, we don't have that confidence."
"The new God King has finally stopped being so irritable. Over the past few years, the trade routes of the Shia Empire have been rarely calmed. We hope this calm can continue."
"If you want to provoke Asgard, the God King only needs to go to our most prosperous trade center for a few laps, and we are powerless to repel him, the security situation will decline, and the confidence of trading partners will definitely be hit. The situation of hot money fleeing It will be more serious."
"Exactly, Your Majesty." Thanos nodded, then began to pace the throne room, and said, "So, we should make a private deal with Asgard and come up with some less advanced, suitable for Just stepped into the technology of an interstellar level civilization in exchange for something we lack."
"But you also said that it is impossible for them to exchange the technology of the portal with us." The Queen's fingers began to tap the armrest again, obviously a little anxious, and she said: "But besides that, what else can we ask for?" What about technology? Their starships?"
"In the past, it is not that the Shia Empire has not picked up the wreckage of the starship left by Odin's fleet, but their application technology for divine power is very mature. All the supporting equipment of the fleet is for the output of divine power. Forcibly applying it is not cost-effective at all, and even the dismantled parts cannot be integrated into our fleet."
Thanos shook his head again and said, "Your Majesty, don't forget why you want the technology of the portal."
The queen frowned, obviously not turning the corner for a while, and Thanos immediately explained: "It is to strengthen the force and improve the confidence of the people, so as to ensure that the country's economic system will not be harvested."
The queen nodded, obviously agreeing with Thanos' statement, and Thanos then analyzed: "In this case, why don't we directly strengthen the force?"
The queen froze for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes wide. She looked into Thanos' eyes and said, "You mean..."
"We directly hire Asgard's fleet and let those warriors who are keen on fighting escort our caravan."
"It would be best for them to send a few good men to escort the merchant ships of the Shi'ar Empire on the commercial roads where the Kree Empire cruise fleets often appear on the edge of the star ring region."
"Of course, those irascible Asa protoss will not accept the inspections of other countries' cruise fleets like the civilized Shia Empire people."
"More importantly, if it happens that the cruise fleet of the Kree Empire is beaten violently by the Asa Protoss, and a pair of reporters happen to pass by, they just happen to take pictures of the Kree Empire's vicious exploitation of the businessmen of the Shia Empire, and they happen to record The scene where the mercenaries we invited won a big victory, and it happened to be reported in a large area in the new capital of the Shia Empire..."
The queen's eyes widened, she swallowed lightly, stretched out a hand to stroke the feathers on her sideburns, opened her mouth, and said with some hesitation: "But if the cruise fleet is attacked, The Cree Empire will not be easily dismissed..."
"The man was beaten by the Asa protoss, what does it have to do with us?"
"But they were hired by us!"
"Then we don't have to pay!"
Thanos said confidently: "If we don't pay, the employment relationship will not be established."
"Then how do we get them to..."
"We have technical cooperation with other independent civilizations in the Nine Kingdoms. What's the matter with Asgard? The Asa protoss are just helping others when they see injustice. They have always been willing to help others."
"Then what if the Kree Empire finds trouble with Asgard?"
"The man was beaten by the Asa Protoss, and it is more likely to be beaten by the God King."
"Then what if the Cree Empire comes to trouble us?"
"The man was beaten by the Asa protoss, what does it have to do with us?"
"Then what if they are unreasonable?"
"People were beaten by the Asa Protoss."
The queen covered her eyes, and then she said: "Then if they deliberately intercept our businessmen elsewhere...well, you don't need to say it, I know, the people were beaten by the Asa protoss."
