Talodan Civilization.

Aldan's furry, chubby body was "squeezed" above the transparent porthole with the help of the stabilizing device.

It didn't care about its slightly deformed face, and just stared at the scene outside the porthole from a distance.

Seeing the eleven fleets originally surrounding the Talodan fleet turning on their Hall propulsion devices and slowly leaving, a hint of joy suddenly appeared in its eyes.

"Success!"

"Eugene civilization retreated!!"

Aldan broke away from the porthole, raised his short paws, and loudly announced to the people around him this exciting news for the panda people.

The next second, cheers came one after another from all around.

Each Talodan dances its round body, drawing beautiful arcs one after another in the air with the help of power-assisted devices - they use this to express their joy in the aftermath of the disaster.

Except Milo.

Milo, who still hadn't learned how to use the power-assist device, could only rely on the stabilizing device and stood silently on the deck, looking at his companions around him with envy.

Suddenly, a voice broke the joyful atmosphere inside the ship.

"After seven days, can we disagree with the requirements of human civilization?"

The command center filled with cheers quickly fell silent.

Yes! Now that the Eugene civilization has retreated, they can survive safely even if they lose the protection of human civilization!

At this moment, these panda people, who had just left their home planet and had not had much contact with alien civilizations, began to have this naive idea in their hearts.

After all, who wants to be a subordinate civilization of other civilizations if they can live freely?!

After a brief silence, everyone turned expectantly to Aldan standing by the porthole.

Unlike them, Aldan, as the leader who led civilization to escape danger several times, is more able to appreciate the darkness and coldness between civilizations.

So, facing everyone's expectant eyes, Aldan slowly shook his head.

Just when it was about to speak, a strong firelight came from a distance, through the porthole, reflecting on its black and white fur.

The exclamations of the tribesmen also came to my ears.

Aldan didn't have time to think, and quickly turned his head to look at the porthole behind him.

The fire came from a Eugene fleet.

It was an extremely brilliant explosion.

The gamma rays produced by the explosion have passed over the Talodan fleet like a tsunami.

"A fight... started?"

Aldan only felt that his mind went blank: "Is the Eugene civilization crazy? How dare they do this?!"

But soon, it realized its mistake.

Eugene Civilization did not take action, but accelerated its retreat under the explosion.

This scene did not bring much joy to Aldan.

On the contrary, at this time, the anxiety in its heart has increased a lot again.

Noisy discussions gradually started to sound behind him.

"That's enough!" Aldan, who was dizzy, turned around suddenly and shouted sternly, "Quiet!"

"Do you think human civilization is kinder than Eugene's civilization?!"

"Look what they just did!"

"Without any warning, a warship of the Eugene civilization was directly destroyed. The purpose was just to speed up their departure!"

Aldan's words were like a hammer, striking hard on the hearts of these innocent pandas.

"If I guess correctly, the fleet of Eugene civilization will never leave! Human civilization will not let them leave either!"

Aldan waved his little paws and shouted with a red face: "Everyone, watch carefully! The Eugene civilization will stop retreating soon!"

…

"leader."

A sharp, sharp voice broke the dead silence in the command center: "Eugene's fleet has stopped!"

"Sure enough..." Aldan closed his eyes in despair, "How far is it?"

"One hundred million kilometers!"

Aldan took a deep breath, opened his eyes again and looked at everyone: "Have you seen everything? There are only 100 million kilometers!"

"You guys..."

It said sadly: "The understanding of the universe and civilization is still too shallow!"

The pandas in the command center looked at each other with a bit of shame in their eyes.

"Chief, what should we do now?" Milo asked softly, "Become a subsidiary civilization of human civilization?"

"According to your wishes, it seems that this is the only way we can go."

"Who says it's not?" Aldan took a deep look at Milo who was looking at him, and responded softly, "The voting continues."

"The life and death of civilization should not be decided by me alone."

"If you would rather die standing, then I respect your choice."

As the words fell, the atmosphere in Talodan's fleet became increasingly silent.

…

Five days flew by.

Talodan's fifth civilization-wide referendum has come to an end.

On Ardan's orders, a central computer began tallying the voting results.

The Talodans in every starship were nervously staring at the large or small screens in front of them.

There are only three options for voting: Yes, No and Abstain.

Looking at the rapidly increasing numbers after each option, Aldan subconsciously held his breath.

The voting results are out.

76.3% of Talodan people chose to agree.

23.1% of people chose to abstain.

Only 0.6% of Talodan people chose the no option!

The moment he saw the voting results, Aldan took a deep breath and showed a bit of joy in his eyes.

No one wants to die.

If it is true, as humans say, that subordinate civilizations are not slaves and can even be exchanged for various technologies and equipment, then he is willing to become a subordinate civilization of a higher civilization.

At least, the inheritance of civilization has not been interrupted.

In the vast universe, there may be a place for Talodan civilization in the future.

"Milo."

Aldan waved and called softly: "Initiate a communication request to human civilization."

"So fast?!"

Milo's eyes showed a bit of surprise: "We still have two days!"

"No, we can't wait until the last day." Aldan smiled gently, raised his hand and touched Milo's furry head, and explained softly, "If we haven't become a subordinate civilization on the seventh day,

What do you think the Eugene civilization will do once human civilization removes its protective measures against us?"

Milo's eyes widened slightly and he took a deep breath.

"I...I understand!"

As he spoke, he turned around to control the power-assist device and "slided" unsteadily toward a computer.
