Chapter 319, Returning in Disappointment
The palace of the Yanhuang Empire is decorated in black, giving people a solemn and grand feeling.
Hearing Zhao Dongye's words, Li Fu knew that the highlight was coming. As the president of the Earth Federation, Zhao Dongye personally came to visit the Empire, and it was definitely not just to talk about economic trade and international students.
The exchange of science and technology and military is the main purpose of his visit to the Empire this time. The Empire's strong scientific and military strength is the most important thing in interstellar space colonization.
"It is right to strengthen exchanges, but I don't know how to communicate?"
Li Fu nodded. Although he didn't really say that he wanted to exchange and cooperate with the Earth Federation in science and technology and military, he couldn't refuse so directly.
"We both come from the same source. In the vast interstellar universe, we support and help each other. As the saying goes, brothers are united and their strength can break metal. Let's not talk about the distant ones. The Loen Empire in the Canis Major galaxy alone poses a huge threat to our human civilization."
"The Loen Empire is powerful, has a long history of development, and a large population. Although they suffered heavy losses in the last war, they did not hurt their roots at all. They will be able to recover their strength soon."
"If we don't seize the opportunity to eliminate the Loen Empire now, we will pay a heavy price to destroy the Loen Empire in the future. As the saying goes, how can you let others sleep beside you? The Canis Major galaxy is too close to our two empires."
Zhao Dongye pondered for a while, slowly spoke, and proposed a joint military campaign to eliminate the Loen Empire.
After listening to this, Li Fu frowned and pondered carefully. Regarding the nearest Loen Empire, there were actually a lot of calls within the empire to destroy it as soon as possible. The scientists of the empire even proposed that there should be no forces that could threaten the empire within 100 light years around the Centaurus Galaxy, including the Regional Federation.
The distance of 100 light years seems very far, but because of the existence of the space-time ocean current, it is actually very close. Once a powerful civilization comes through the space-time ocean current, the empire can also have a buffer time.
However, if it is really necessary to send troops to attack the Canis Major Galaxy together with the Earth Federation, Li Fu will naturally not do it. How should the Canis Major Galaxy be distributed when it is conquered? Half for each person?
Moreover, the empire has to transit through the solar system to go to the Canis Major Galaxy, and there is no space-time ocean current that directly leads to the Canis Major Galaxy. Therefore, the expansion in this direction of the Canis Major Galaxy is very disadvantageous for the empire, because its own transportation hub core will be stuck on the Earth Federation side.
By then, even if the empire conquers a larger territory, it is very likely that the Earth Federation will benefit from it in the end. Li Fu has no interest in doing such a business for others.
Anyway, the empire is also preparing to expand outward recently. With this power, it is better to expand to other galaxies. If you are lucky, you can easily occupy the planets with low-level life, and you don’t need to spend any effort to attack the Loen Empire.
The Earth Federation is making a plan, hoping to use the power of the empire to attack the Loen Empire. In this way, it is a sure thing. Otherwise, if the Earth Federation conquers the Loen Empire with its own power, it is likely to suffer heavy losses and fail to conquer it, and both sides will suffer in the end.
However, if the Earth Federation does not attack the Loen Empire, it will be like a thorn in its throat when expanding outward in the future. It will always worry that the Loen Empire will counterattack the solar system. After all, they have already taken on the hatred, so it will not be able to concentrate its strength to expand outward.
After this, the speed of expansion will definitely not be as fast as that of the Empire. In the end, most of them can only watch the galaxies in the starry sky slowly being incorporated into the arms of the Empire.
After thinking clearly about the key points, Li Fu naturally knew what to do. It was absolutely impossible to send troops. The Empire was now hoping that the Roen Empire and the Earth Federation would fight and contain each other. The Empire could also sell arms and make a lot of money. More importantly, the Empire could continue to expand outward without any worries.
"Our Empire is now sparsely populated and weak. We have no ability to attack the Roen Empire. Moreover, the Roen Empire must have learned from the last lesson and built a strong defense force at the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current. At that time, it will definitely suffer heavy losses."
Li Fu shook his head and rejected Zhao Dongye's proposal.
"Although your empire has a small population, it has strong technology and military strength. It has two powerful space battleships like the Pacific, which is much stronger than our Earth Federation. You should take some responsibility." Zhao Dongye was obviously unwilling to accept this. If he didn't drag the empire into the water, it would be a wasted trip. At the same time, there was another meaning in his words. The "Pacific" space battleship he mentioned was the "Huangdi" space battleship, which was a large battleship built by Fuyun Group commissioned by the Earth United Front. Later, it was taken away by Li Fu when he evacuated the solar system. The meaning of the words was very clear. You kidnapped our most powerful space battleship. Now shouldn't you do something for us to show your appreciation?
"Although our empire has a few decent warships, they are only enough to protect our native Centaurus galaxy. As for sending troops to the Loen Empire, we are really powerless."
Li Fu smiled and refused. The interests between countries are naturally the main thing. Of course, we will not do anything that has only disadvantages and no benefits.
Zhao Dongye was slightly disappointed when he heard Li Fu's repeated refusal. Although he had long expected that the empire would not send troops, he came here with a try-and-see mentality. Sure enough, there are only interests between countries, and other things are no longer within the scope of consideration.
"We, the Earth Federation, can promise that after occupying the Canis Major galaxy, we, the Earth Federation, can give the life planet to the Empire. The existence of the Loen Empire is a huge threat to our human civilization and must be eradicated."
Zhao Dongye was still unwilling and promised benefits. After the entire Canis Major galaxy was conquered, it would belong to the empire. It can be said to be amazing courage.
"Our empire's two life planets are far from saturated. One more life planet is useless. Let's leave it to you Earth Federation. If you need any space battleships, weapons, etc., you can buy them from our empire."
Li Fu still shook his head. The empire had to pass through the solar system to go to the Canis Major galaxy. The empire's current population was sparse and it had no ability to manage it, not to mention that it had to transfer across the solar system.
Zhao Dongye's face was not very good after being rejected again and again, but there was no way. This time he came here to ask for help from the empire. Since there was no possibility of military cooperation, he could seek exchanges and cooperation in science and technology.
"In this case, I wonder if your empire is willing to transfer some technology to our Earth Federation. If there is no sufficiently advanced technology and powerful space battleships, weapons, etc., even if our Earth Federation has a new attack on the Canis Major galaxy, we may suffer heavy losses."
Zhao Dongye is also very skilled in the strategy of advancing to retreat.
"Technology transfer? I wonder what technologies you are interested in? Although our empire is also willing to help the Earth Federation, many technologies are the foundation of our empire, and we will never transfer them."
Li Fu nodded gently, and he had already made it clear in advance that technology transfer depends on what technology it is. We will never transfer technologies that are of great importance.
"We hope to obtain black gold material technology, large plasma engine manufacturing technology, quantum communication technology, anti-gravity technology, virtual sensing technology, 5 million kilometers of energy cannon technology..."
Zhao Dongye pondered for a while and reported a series of technologies. These technologies are what the Earth Federation is very eager to obtain, and each technology is very helpful in improving its strength.
Black gold material technology can greatly reduce the manufacturing cost of spacecraft engines; large plasma engine manufacturing technology is the core technology for manufacturing large spacecraft and space battleships; quantum communication technology is even more powerful, allowing the Earth to control the actions of alien planets in real time...
"Mr. President, these technologies are the most core and key technologies of our empire, and also the most advanced technologies of our empire. Even if we are willing to transfer them, I don't know what the Federation will use in exchange?"
Li Fu looked at Zhao Dongye and smiled slightly. There is no doubt that the Earth Federation has a good vision. These technologies are very valuable and useful technologies.
"This..."
Hearing Li Fu's words, Zhao Dongye was speechless. There are really not many things that the Earth Federation can show. From the trade between the two sides, it can be seen that the Empire imports some special products and things with low technical content such as clothes and shoes from the Earth Federation.
"In fact, you don't have to master these technologies. Our empire will sell products to you as well. We can even sell you space battleships."
Li Fu saw Zhao Dongye's expression and continued to speak. His meaning was very clear. If you can't come up with the corresponding technology, it's better to buy our empire's products honestly.
The talks between the two sides were almost over here. Zhao Dongye, who came to the empire with many purposes, could only return disappointed. The empire was still the same as before. It protected technology very strictly. It was a country based on science and technology. It could only create a world with strong scientific and technological power.
Li Fu naturally couldn't really sell his foundation to the Earth Federation. Although the Earth Federation's technology was developing very fast, it was not easy to come up with these technologies in a short time. By the time they came up with it, the empire would have already had more advanced technology.
