A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

……

"Our Department of Energy sees this as an opportunity," the Energy Secretary said, his eyes shining as he raised his hand.

"If we truly consider the Zerg as our benevolent in-laws, they would be willing to share various technologies and resources to support Earth free of charge. With unlimited energy secured, humanity's interstellar migration could be accelerated by at least two hundred years..."

Why do humans overexploit the Earth?

Because of energy.

The universe's energy is tiered.

Fossil energy is definitely superior to plant energy, while natural energy is superior to fossil energy, and above natural energy is stellar energy.

All human activities require energy.

All planetary energy sources have their limits before we can utilize stellar energy.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable and will be exhausted in less than two thousand years. Natural energy and nuclear energy also have their limits.

The Dyson sphere, capable of utilizing stellar energy with virtually no loss, is a symbol of a Type I civilization transitioning to a Type II civilization.

A civilization can only be considered to have truly entered the realm of cosmic civilization when it possesses a Dyson sphere and virtually unlimited stellar energy.

A Dyson sphere is a device that surrounds the sun in a giant ring shape to collect solar energy.

The sun is the source of almost all the energy in the solar system. Currently, the solar energy that Earth receives and utilizes every day is only one two billionth of the energy emitted by the sun.

With a Dyson sphere, one can collect the sun's escaping energy with almost no loss, providing a virtually inexhaustible source of clean energy.

However, 99% of the mass of the solar system is concentrated in the Sun, 0.5% in Jupiter, and the remaining 0.5% consists of other planets and celestial bodies, including Earth.

What does this mean?

This means that even if humanity were to exhaust all the planets in the solar system, it still wouldn't have enough material to build a Dyson sphere around the sun.

The universe is so vast that without the Dyson sphere, current energy is insufficient to support humanity's continued journey beyond the Milky Way.

The Milky Way is just a grain of sand in the universe. To explore the universe, planetary energy alone is not enough; we must rely on stellar energy, which is why we must develop Dyson spheres.

So what are the materials used to make Dyson spheres?

The planet's iron core.

Where is the planet's iron core?

The solar system isn't enough.

To build a Dyson sphere, you need to continue expanding and developing the planet; to continue expanding and developing the planet, you need a Dyson sphere.

An unsolvable vicious cycle.

The most difficult step is for a Type I indigenous civilization to formally enter the universe.

Now, the Zerg have arrived with technology and resources, saying, "Earth brothers, don't be shy, we're all one family. These are our betrothal gifts for Her Highness the Crown Princess."

Humiliation? What kind of humiliation is this?

The high-ranking colonel is entitled to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!

"It's not just polite talk." The Minister of Energy flipped through the written documents sent by the Zerg again. "Take a look at the information the Zerg sent. Every single technology and resource is exactly what humanity needs right now. There's no fancy high technology; it's all stuff that humanity can use immediately."

The Zerg's support for humanity is genuine.

"This is only a quarter of the dowry." Another military commander scratched his forehead. "They said the Crown Prince hasn't arrived yet, but soon the Zerg Crown Prince will bring more habitable planets and resources."

It's not that they couldn't resist the sweet talk, but rather that their sweet talk was simply too tempting—

"The Zerg say that each habitable planet will also be equipped with comprehensive planetary defense measures as part of the dowry..."

The opposition also argued strongly: "But how is this any different from us humans receiving charity?"

"Does human law prohibit friendly nations from providing support?" the Energy Minister retorted. "Or does a son-in-law prohibit his father-in-law from providing support? Maybe it's a cultural difference; we generally don't treat fathers-in-law as outsiders here."

"This is a contract of servitude!" An opposition lawmaker slammed the vote on the conference table. "The Zerg's application for diplomatic relations actually demands—"

"What are your demands?"

A representative from the supporters leaned over and said, "Oh, this is about exchanging pheromones three times a week to soothe the female soldiers' mental energy. The supplementary terms the Zerg sent yesterday mentioned it, but the translation was wrong; it actually means sharing afternoon tea times."

LOL, they just applied and indicated it was voluntary. It was a mutual agreement, so why are you barking like a dog?

Don't tell me they just wanted to offer a blind date opportunity. Even if they really wanted emotional support, so what? What's the big deal about taking a bite?

A group of alphas without omegas had so much pheromone they couldn't use it all, and they were constantly fighting because they were so frustrated.

With so many alphas in the military region, how many female alphas does the Zerg Empire have?

Many alphas die without ever seeing an omega. If they were to find willing alphas to bite them, there would be so many that they might have to wait in line... and they might not even be able to get a turn.

The female Zerg come to Earth to find husbands.

But don't act like the other person got the better deal.

LOL, don't their alphas look for wives?

He's handsome, rich, and even lays eggs! So who really got the better deal?

Ignore all that nonsense; the benefits are real. The Energy Minister, hugging the antimatter generator blueprints from the Zerg, kissed them: "No more worries about energy depletion! No more worries about environmental pollution! My Department of Energy is the first to support establishing diplomatic relations with the Zerg!"

Humanity has energy; that is an indisputable fact.

There's also a Dyson sphere in the back.

Wow, that's a Dyson sphere!

After having a Dyson sphere, you're saying they're a malicious and hostile force?

How can you say that?

Do you even believe it yourself?

Whose hostile forces are supplying energy and weapons to the invaded party?

I won't listen to this bastard's chanting.

My Energy Secretary is the first person to support the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Zerg today!

……

The various factions had complex and intertwined ideas, each with its own calculations, but in the end, those who supported establishing diplomatic relations gained an overwhelming advantage.

Ultimately, the decision was made jointly by Commander-in-Chief Qi of the Military Region and the Director of the Alliance: the Human Federation would open its heart to the Zerg, treat them as true friends, and welcome the establishment of diplomatic relations with them.

Humanity has officially recognized the Zerg Empire as an ally.

……

On this side of the Zerg diplomatic ship at Chang'an Airport.

In fact, after confirming that there were no infectious diseases that could be transmitted between humans and the Zerg, Minister Greta and the Zerg diplomats on the diplomatic ship were no longer restricted in their actions.

Major General Lin had invited them to stay at the embassy for foreign dignitaries, but Minister Greta and his group declined.

There's no need for such trouble. The diplomatic ship has complete living facilities, and the oxygen content on Earth is still a bit low. They are also more used to sleeping in hibernation pods.

The main reason is that their hibernation pods allow users to browse the internet while lying down.

Wow, now we can connect to both the human and Zerg networks simultaneously.

Double the surfing, so satisfying!

The human internet is really fun.

Their greatest pleasure these days is to play on the human internet and then bring back some interesting things to the Zerg to show to their poor colleagues who can't come, and to hear their wails of despair.

Hehehe, human culture is profound and extensive.

I spend my nights surfing the internet intensely, and during the day I can squeeze in by the porthole to look at the alpha guys on Earth.

Outside the berth of the Zerg diplomatic ship, the Earth Military District has set up a duty force to guard it on a rotating basis.

Wow! A whole bunch of Aces!!!
