Chapter 134: New Member of the Galaxy Community?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The headquarters of the Galaxy Community, which was established in the Three Union Planet, received two pieces of news that day.
Oh? Is there another new interstellar civilization that wants to join the community?”
Looking at the two new requests to join, the Sky Clan’s watchman revealed a very happy expression.
The Sky Clan was an idealistic monarchical civilization. Their national religion was high and mighty, and their emperor was seen as the incarnation of God in the present world.
They were a civilization that evolved from birds. Before they formed a civilized civilization, the species of the Sky Clan had been soaring between the towering and steep ridges for hundreds of thousands of years.
During the evolution process, their wings no longer had the ability to fly. They could only be used as an aid for gliding.
However, the wings were still the most important part of the Sky Clan’s body. Only the closest people could touch them.
Today, the Sky Clan had set off a wave of retro craze. They were trying to use genetic methods to return their ancient wings to their peak, allowing them to soar into the sky again without the help of tools.
However, such a tide usually had nothing to do with the people in distant places, such as the representative of the sky clan who was on duty at the headquarters of the Galaxy Community.
The Galaxy Community was not always in meetings. During the occasional break, some representatives of civilizations would be on duty to deal with some simple affairs.
Among them, inviting and accepting new civilizations was one of the more important parts of these simple matters.
During this period of time, other than the Sky Clan, there were also many other civilizations, including the Pyro Alliance and the Seculus Vengeance Crusade.
The Sky Clan representative on duty was very happy, not because the number of members of the Galaxy Community had increased again, but because its civilization could gain extra weight in the next vote.
The Galaxy Community was dedicated to contacting the entire galaxy. If a new civilization joined the Galaxy Community, the civilization behind the representatives on duty would receive a one-time voting bonus.
Through the operation, this voting bonus could be sold at a good price. After all, diplomacy was also a part of the confrontation between interstellar civilizations.
Of course, checking the qualifications to join a civilization was also one of the obligations of the civilization on duty.
Although the Galaxy Community welcomed the entrants, not all civilizations were included.
Take the killer bee colony for example. The civilization of the extinct regime had never paid attention to the Galaxy Community, and the Galaxy Community, too, would never have invited such a civilization.
The first thing the civilization on duty needed to confirm was whether the participant was a bad civilization that violated the interstellar law.
However, it was not the most important thing for most people, because generally speaking, the civilization that wanted to join the Galaxy Community, would certainly be prepared. At least, they would be a normal civilization on the surface.
It was usually a process.
“Let me take a look at the detailed documents they provided. Perhaps I’ll have to actually inspect them…” Servant Paradise? Is that true? How can a civilization give itself such a name…”
When the representative of the Sky Clan saw the beginning of the document, he almost couldn’t hold his expression. He even thought that he had typed wrongly.
As everyone knew, the name of a civilization was very important in diplomacy.
Generally speaking, the official name would be the country’s name plus the political system. Other than the language used by the civilization, it would also be explained in the common language of the Milky Way.
The typical examples were the Mingbow Science and Technology Nation and the Craybow Interstellar Trading Company.
Occasionally, there would be some civilizations that used words with strong meanings to replace the names of their civilizations, such as the Pyro Alliance and the Turbulence Empire.
However, there would always be some unique civilizations that took different actions in this regard.
The Stone Man Civilization that had once threatened to make the Watcher and the Voyager prostrate at their feet was such a civilization.
The official name of their civilization would take a few minutes for a fast speaker to read, and it could even fill a page if written in the galactic lingua franca of the Milky Way.
For these people who thought they were special, the civilizations of the Milky Way would directly use the conventional name, such as the Stone Man Civilization.
The self-proclaimed Servant Paradise civilization in the document seemed to be a unique civilization, which made the Sky Clan staff on duty feel a little helpless.
“Can’t you just give it a good name? Who knows what you mean by Servant Paradise?” He shook his head and prepared to advise this new civilization as an old senior in the future so that they understood the unspoken rules of the Milky Way.
However, as he continued reading, the expression on his face gradually became strange.
“Uh… This is… An organic civilization? Or an artificial intelligence civilization?
Why don’t 1 understand…”
According to the basic information provided in the document, about 10% of the population of this self-proclaimed Servant Paradise civilization was biological organisms, while the remaining 90% were all servant robots.
He originally thought that this was an organic civilization that abused robots, but to his surprise, according to the general situation described in the document, these servant robots had completely controlled the government of the civilization. Even these documents were actually submitted by these servant robots.
According to the Milky Way’s definition of an artificial intelligence civilization, this was already considered an artificial intelligence civilization.
However, in the information provided by these servant robots, it was repeatedly emphasized that they worked for their masters, which were those organic forms. They insisted that they were only a service system, and the masters of this civilization were still those organic forms.
At the same time, they also mentioned that they were worried because the number of masters was too small, hoping to find more organisms willing to accept their service.
“The goal of joining the Galaxy Community is to… Turn all organic forms into their masters? My dear… This speech is a little dangerous…”
The various abnormalities of the Servant Paradise made the representative of the Sky Clan hesitate. He was originally prepared to approve it directly, but now it seemed that he might need further investigation.
Although they said that this was just a process, he would suffer if he really allowed the extermination regime to enter.
Therefore, he temporarily put the document aside and prepared to wait for the other inspectors to discuss the decision.
Then, he picked up the application submitted by the second civilization.
“I hope there won’t be any problems this time…” He tried to comfort himself, but when he saw how this civilization addressed itself, his heart skipped a beat.
“Milky Way kinsmen? Is… Is this another artificial intelligence civilization?”
The number of artificial intelligence civilizations in the Milky Way could be counted on two hands. This time, there were two at once. This made the inspector suspect that some organic life form somewhere had played him off again.
“But at least…This name sounds quite normal…”
As he thought about it, he continued reading.
“Their main species are artificial people? A Prosthetic Civilization that had completed the collectivization of consciousness… If there are some slight differences, should they be counted as the beehive civilization? But they insist that they are artificial intelligence…”
“Then, the goal of joining the Galaxy Community is… Eliminate all barriers between species? What a great idea. Although it od a little extreme, perhaps it’s not too bad?”
The representative of the Sky Clan obviously did not understand what the elimination of all barriers between species really meant. He thought it was a slogan similar to the elimination of tyranny.
If he had understood the true goal of the Milky Way kinsmen, he might not have praised them so much.
“Alright, the two artificial intelligence civilizations that came this time are a little strange. It’s better to say that artificial intelligence civilizations are always so strange… Let’s have a meeting to discuss it later.”
He believed that the other inspectors must have the same thoughts as him. They must have maintained a scrutinizing attitude towards these two artificial intelligence civilizations.
They couldn’t be like the civilizations that had already made a name for themselves in the Milky Way, where they basically passed all of them without any inspection.
So, after all the inspectors had read the information, the small meeting on how to deal with these two special artificial intelligence civilizations began.
In fact, many people were not willing to go to the territory of the artificial intelligence civilization for field research. Many styles of artificial intelligence were very different from biological intelligence.
The most typical example would be bio-electricity generation. Mechanical intelligence did not need to eat, but it needed electricity.
To them, this was actually an action similar to an organic creature’s feeding. Even if it was not efficient, the mechanical intelligence did not object to doing so when there was spare energy. A mosquito’s leg was still a leg.
However, it was different for organic civilizations. When they saw the animals soaked in nutrient tanks, begging for death, and constantly generating electricity, it was difficult to hide the fear that came from the bottom of their hearts.
In this regard, the artificial intelligence civilization was still very puzzled and strongly condemned the organic civilization’s act of slaughtering and eating creatures.
They believed that this was the most inefficient way of energy utilization, and it was completely an irrational behavior of an organic civilization to satisfy their desires. It should not be advocated in the Milky Way.
Those who didn’t know better would think that these artificial intelligence devices were some interstellar animal protection organization.
The organic civilizations never thought that they would be blamed by the Al on this matter. This made them want to condemn the Al for being inhumane, but they could not say it.
Although the few artificial intelligence civilizations in the Milky Way had passed the review and become members of the Galaxy Community, not many people were willing to come into contact with cold mechanical intelligence.
However, this opportunity to gain one-time diplomatic power was very rare. They could not be picky. Even if they were unwilling, the civilization behind them would force them to go.
Therefore, after some discussion, the joint review team formed by these civilizations decided to start with the Milky Way kinsmen. After all, this civilization sounded more normal, much better than the so-called Servant Paradise.
Their group, on the other hand, would be protected by the Galaxy Community and the civilization behind them. As a kind of diplomatic envoy, they would head to the coordinates of the mother planet provided by the Milky Way kinsmen.
They would spend some time there to confirm whether the Milky Way kinsmen could become a member of this big family..
