Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 249 Deterrence
"Our Haveli civilization is a peace-loving one. For a long time, we have always done our utmost to avoid conflict with any civilization or entity. We have always adhered to an independent development model and quietly developed in this vast universe.

We are very much looking forward to having peaceful and friendly exchanges with you who have come from afar, but unfortunately, one star system cannot support two civilizations.

To avoid misunderstandings between us, we sincerely hope you will change course and head for another star system. At that time, we warmly welcome you to send a visiting fleet to visit our civilization. If you agree, we can also send a visiting fleet to visit your civilization's base.

I sincerely hope that your civilization can last forever in this vast universe, and I also sincerely hope that the flower of peace can bloom between your civilization and mine.

Greetings from the head of the Haveli civilization and all intelligent beings of that civilization.

This piece of information comes with many words and sentence patterns that can be used as references, which allows Li Qingsong to understand their language and writing system by analyzing those words, and then understand the meaning of this piece of information.

Li Qingsong did the same thing when he communicated with the Bluetuk civilization.

Li Qingsong called those reference texts and sentence structures "dictionaries." At this point, it seemed clear that sending one's own civilization's "dictionary" to civilizations hoping to communicate was a common practice in the universe.

When Li Qingsong first received the news, he was surprised.

He didn't expect that a randomly selected star system would already have civilization.

This civilization obviously also understood the art of survival, and knew that during large-scale material collection or construction, it was necessary to adopt "environmentally friendly" measures to minimize its impact on the environment and reduce the probability of exposure.

If not for this, during the previous exploration of this star system, Li Qingsong would have definitely detected traces of civilization in this star system and would not have chosen this place as the target.

It was obvious at this moment that the civilization had seen the decelerating tail flames of its own fleet and then discovered that it was approaching, which led to this information.

"I've been fleeing in this universe for thousands of years, traveling hundreds of light years in total. At such a great distance, it's normal to occasionally encounter a civilization."

Li Qingsong pondered silently: "Based on my previous speculation, under the premise that there are a large number of natural disaster civilizations in the universe that rely on 'orthodox wisdom civilization' for their resources, it is basically impossible for peace to exist even between two civilizations that have good intentions towards each other.

Once you encounter other civilizations, the safest option is to stay away from them immediately.

Now, if I insist on settling in this galaxy and continue to slow down, I'm afraid war will break out.

This message, in addition to clarifying their own position and their desire not to see war, also contains a lot of deterrence..."

This deterrence is not felt in the information content.

Li Qingsong keenly realized that the very act of sending information by this civilization calling itself "Havel" was intended to intimidate him.

At this moment, our fleet is still about 4.6 trillion kilometers, or about 0.5 light-years, away from the main star.

And this information is sent via electromagnetic waves!

If a piece of electromagnetic wave information is transmitted over a distance of 0.5 light years and still does not decay to the point of merging with the cosmic background radiation, and its content can still be easily deciphered by oneself, then one can imagine how high the transmission power of this piece of electromagnetic wave information is.

Such a high transmission power, what kind of powerful technology does it mean?

From this point alone, Li Qingsong could analyze that the technological level of the Haveller civilization must be higher than his own.

Li Qingsong does not believe that every intelligent civilization can have such an adventure as his and possess such a unique ability.

So, if an ordinary intelligent civilization develops to the stage of strong nuclear civilization alone in the vast universe, and its technological level exceeds that of its own... how strong are the resilience and wisdom of this civilization, as well as its survivability, ability to adapt to the environment, internal organization, and so on?

Think about it, even with one's own ability, breaking through the electroweak state and reaching the strong core is still extremely difficult and dangerous. How difficult would it be for an ordinary intelligent civilization to develop into the strong core?

None of the civilizations that can survive in the universe and develop to a certain stage are easy to deal with.

Li Qingsong decisively stopped the deceleration action, immediately controlled the fleet to change course, and began to fly in another direction.

The fleet was too large to change course overnight. Even if it adjusted its course from this moment on, the fleet would still approach the star due to inertia, perhaps even getting as close as 0.3 light-years before passing it.

Given the current distance between the two sides, Li Qingsong does not have the ability to send electromagnetic wave signals over.

But that didn't matter. The change in the fleet's tail flames should be clearly noticeable to the enemy, allowing them to determine that their course had changed, and it wouldn't lead to misjudgment.

Time passed quietly, and soon, Li Qingsong's fleet reached the closest point to the star.

Here, Li Qingsong sent a message in human language and attached a dictionary.

"Dear Harvil Civilization, we are a human civilization from the distant deep space. We happened to pass by here and were unaware that this galaxy had been occupied by your civilization.

We strongly agree with your proposal and your judgment that 'one star system cannot accommodate two civilizations'.

We have adjusted our course and will leave this galaxy and seek another one to station in.

If there is an opportunity in the future, we sincerely look forward to having friendly exchanges with your civilization.

From the head of human civilization and all intelligent life.

After this little episode, Li Qingsong no longer paid attention to this matter.

Forget about friendly communication. Right now I just want to be alone, and preferably without anyone bothering me.

Time passed quietly. As Li Qingsong's fleet continued to move away from this star system, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

From within this star system, he saw some flashes of tail flames.

Judging from their strength, this fleet must be quite large. Also, judging by their direction... it seems this fleet will intersect with their own fleet in a few years!

Li Qingsong's heart suddenly became heavy.

At the same time, another message was delivered.

"Your Excellency, the respected head of human civilization, after careful discussion, we have decided to give up a planet for your stationing.

......"
