Of course.

At this moment, the Rasti Star Nation is located more than 24,000 light-years away from the Nuclear Sphere, and even further, 30,000 light-years away from the Galaxy Core.

For Human Civilization, this is an extremely vast distance.

But it seems that for these sub-top Civilizations, it is no longer out of reach.

"Contact with the Extraterrestrial Civilization was very successful; they agreed to the agent plan."

Sumiya reported a piece of information that Yan Xia had been waiting for for a long time.

Contacting the Extraterrestrial Civilization was intended to make the waters even muddier.

And Human could gain more benefits from it.

"What are their conditions?" Yan Xia asked.

Sumiya's role as Secretary was to translate many originally complex matters.

He organized the information and said in detail:

"The Crystalline Tube Civilization hopes that we can build a wormhole network, allowing the Crystalline Tube Civilization to enter the Milky Way interior at any time. They have their eyes on the Zero Black Hole."

Yan Xia directly shook his head.

"Tell them it can only be the First Black Hole."

The Zero Black Hole is the core of the core of Human Civilization; it cannot be controlled by another Civilization.

"Okay, in order to complete this transaction, the Crystalline Tube Civilization is willing to provide basic spatial jump technology, with each jump capable of reaching over 1000 astronomical units."

Hearing this, Yan Xia couldn't help but feel a pleasant surprise inside.

Spatial jump.

This is a technology that is currently in the realm of science fiction within Human Civilization.

Although it is only 1000 astronomical units, even so, a single jump can directly save 5.7 light-days, allowing Human Civilization to step into a completely new era.

Moreover, who says the acquired technology cannot be further researched?

Spatial jump is a basic technology, not something like evasion materials. Human Civilization already has a certain foundation in space, and can completely use this to develop more powerful spatial jumps.

It just requires time!

"Have the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs put in their full effort to promote this agent plan for me."

"Except for the Zero Black Hole, other conditions can be relaxed somewhat."

Sumiya quickly jotted it down.

Then he continued, "The Lithification Civilization requires us to provide a large number of planets."

"The target is at least 1 billion."

"According to them, their birth itself depends on a large amount of matter, especially planets."

"According to the diplomat's speculation, the lifeforms of the Lithification Civilization may be born from the planet's core. Each planet with a diameter above 5000 kilometers can only nurture about 1000 Lithification Civilization lifeforms."

Yan Xia thought of the shock he felt during the first contact with the Lithification Civilization.

The Lithification Civilization is a rather ancient Civilization; their history can even be traced back to 1 billion years ago.

However, because they are lifeforms mixed with metal and rock substances, their thinking is very slow.

This leads to them still being only a sub-top Civilization despite having a Civilization history of 1 billion years, not even counting as a top Civilization.

Equally as shocking as their ancient foundation is their physique.

Their bodies, tens of thousands of meters tall, are like a giant peak. Ordinary flesh-and-blood lifeforms standing before them are too insignificant.

Even Rasti's warships are not as large as them.

According to what Yan Xia knows, those are just the young Lithification Civilization lifeforms.

Some older Lithification Civilization lifeforms, their bodies themselves are comparable to planets, with heights of several thousand to tens of thousands of kilometers.

When these Lithification Civilization lifeforms are sleeping, they even truly press themselves into a sphere, just like a planet.

From the mouths of other Civilizations, Yan Xia learned that some small Civilizations had even been born on the surface of Lithification Civilization lifeforms in the past.

This form of Lithification Civilization lifeforms is certainly not the result of natural evolution, but a product of technological development.

"We can agree to this."

1 billion is a lot.

But it's also not that much.

If Human Civilization can truly occupy a place in the Milky Way in the future, then this is certainly not much.

But if not, then according to the current situation of the Milky Way, Human Civilization would have already been destroyed by then, and there would be no need to fulfill the promise.

"What they are offering is history..."

"Having a long history, they know many secrets about the Milky Way, and even things outside the Milky Way, outside this local group."

"However, they have a condition: they will not proactively give us the information, but require us to ask ourselves, and the total number of questions answered will not exceed 100."

It is a limitation.

As a newly rising Civilization, Human Civilization's understanding of The Universe is narrow.

Even if Human Civilization asks some questions, they will definitely be things within Human Civilization's scope of knowledge.

This can prevent Human Civilization from growing up after gaining more information.

After all, Human Civilization is a Civilization with energy level 2.7, which can also be called a semi-2.7 level Civilization.

The gap with a 2.8 level Civilization is over a thousand times.

But no one can predict whether, after obtaining higher levels, Human Civilization will experience a technological explosion and directly enter the 2.8 level Civilization, thereby becoming a competitor to the Lithification Civilization.

Also, the Lithification Civilization has considered the other participants in the agent plan.

If other participants provide technology, it will undoubtedly allow Human Civilization to formally step into a true 2.7 level Civilization. If Human Civilization can better utilize the vast starfield, entering a 2.8 level Civilization will also be much earlier.

Therefore, this is likely the bottom line of the Lithification Civilization.

They do not want to cultivate a competitor for themselves.

"Agree to them."

There should still be many areas to negotiate here, such as the number of questions; 100 could be increased to 150 or 200.

But Yan Xia felt it was meaningless.

The Lithification Civilization is not bound by rules. Essentially, the information it provides is information it can provide, it will provide, and it wants to provide.

It is not about what Human Civilization asks.

Therefore, 100 questions or more questions makes no essential difference.

"What about the Heramu Civilization?"
