I, a ship girl, am the savior of civilization.

Laura shook her head, not taking Shi's slip of the tongue to heart.

The Qiuju crashed, damaging a large amount of life support equipment and industrial production chains. With a slightly toxic atmosphere surrounding it, and encountering a hostile civilization, the Human Alliance is in such dire straits, yet it has only just begun to show signs of xenophobia, which is already quite remarkable.

"However, we have recently eliminated the cowardly voices within the Federation and established a completely new civilization."

After regaining his composure, when speaking of the Human Alliance, a special emotion was revealed in his tone: "Although I was somewhat surprised by the Earth Alliance's search for us, I don't think we can go back."

In recent years, supporters of the Earth Alliance have been slapped hard by harsh reality, either choosing to build a self-reliant People's Alliance or being completely exiled.

Under the pressure of survival, the Earth Alliance has gradually become synonymous with cowardice and incompetence, and returning to the Earth Alliance will likely not be easy.

Moreover, even though life is difficult, the feeling of being united and growing stronger through one's own efforts truly gives people a sense of fulfillment that the Earth Alliance era never had.

"Rest assured, according to Huanmeng's judgment, the Human Alliance has formed a new civilization, rather than being part of the Earth Alliance. We will respect your choice."

Laura's words put a huge weight off Shi's mind. To be honest, Shi was really worried that the universe, which Laura represented, would become a lobbyist for the Earth Alliance.

If the world forces the Human Alliance to rejoin the Earth Alliance, then the Human Alliance will definitely choose war, at which point the Human Alliance's living pressure will further increase.

What Laura said next brought even more surprise to Shi.

"Of course, by Universal standards, the Human Alliance will be considered a new civilization and qualified to trade with us. If needed, Universal will provide appropriate assistance to the Human Alliance in accordance with the planetary civilization support proposal."

The Human Union will eventually take the path of xenophobia, but at least Laura can eliminate the Human Union's potential hostility towards ship girls in advance.

This is good for Renlian, Huanmeng, and Huanyu.

127. In terms of boldness, the people-led alliance far surpasses the local alliance.

"Lola, are there any proposals in the universe to support civilizations within a planet?"

On the way to the underground city, Veneto quietly asked a question. Having been with the company for so long, Veneto had never heard of such a proposal before.

At least, Veneto hadn't heard Laura say that when they signed the agreement with the Earth Federation.

"Not before?"

Laura's face showed a hint of shock, but she quickly regained her composure: "Then we have it now."

So, this was made up on the spot.

"However, is it really okay to provide basic industrial and agricultural infrastructure for the Federation of Human Resources and Social Security free of charge?"

Without dwelling on the origins of the proposal, Veneto turned to another question: "Won't Santi have any objections?"

No matter what, Universal is just a profit-driven company. If it simply gives back, wouldn't that be inconsistent with the original intention of establishing a giant enterprise?

The original intention was to pay off his debts.

"There won't be any problems."

Laura wasn't too worried about this: "First of all, Laura is the boss of the world, and secondly, Laura didn't say that this support was free."

"This can be considered an investment, targeting a civilization that is recognized by the world. When the Human Federation is able to afford the costs in the future, the world will receive several times the return."

"Is that so? I always feel like Laura, you know so much..."

Thinking about these things made Veneto's head throb a little, and he couldn't help but miss the time when he was the mascot and diplomat of the Earth Federation.

All you need to do is negotiate according to the pre-prepared document; nothing else matters.

"There's nothing we can do; the people who helped us are on vacation..."

Veneto's words reminded Laura of Belfast. Ever since Belfast became the Living Tribunal, Laura had to do many things herself.

As for Belfast, she still needs a considerable amount of time to grow. Therefore, Laura left Belfast with Santi.

I just hope that Belfast won't be led astray by Santi.

As they walked and talked, they gradually reached the end of the underground passage. With each step deeper, traces of the Human Alliance became increasingly apparent.

Because there was no light source, the Human Alliance installed fluorescent light sets in the underground world and planted a large number of fluorescent ferns, which can absorb the overflowing light and simulate starlight at night after the lights are turned off, providing dim lighting.

Judging from the actions of the UN civic work from the outside, it should be daytime underground now, but even so, the entire cave is still dimly lit.

"We apologize for the power shortage."

After explaining, he led Laura and the others into a low house and, under Veneto's incredulous gaze, said, "This is the Human Federation's headquarters. The Grand Marshal is waiting for you inside."

Is the situation at the People's Federation really that bad?

Although it was much better than the tents and such that they had passed along the way, the young lady still frowned: "I want to go back."

"The People's Federation has developed under conditions of severe infrastructure damage, and it's already quite good that it has only been a few years."

Laura didn't care. With its self-cleaning ability, it was fearless and didn't have to worry about stains sticking to its body.

Pushing open the gate, Laura still entered this so-called Marshal's Mansion. Although it looked dilapidated from the outside, the interior was quite clean.

"Welcome. You must be the representatives of the Earth Alliance who have come to search for the Autumn Chrysanthemum. I am the current Grand Marshal of the Human Federation. Just call me Sidney."

Laura nodded in response to Sidney's self-introduction, expressing her goodwill in return, before getting straight to the point.

"Although the initial commission from Huanyu was to search for the Qiuju ship."

Taking out a tea set from Noah's Dimension, Laura poured several cups of black tea and continued, "However, according to the judgment of the Universe and the Illusionary Alliance, the Human Alliance already has the signs of becoming a new civilization."

"On behalf of the world, Laura would like to ask whether the Human Alliance has decided to secede from the Earth Alliance?"

Laura casually tossed in a sugar cube and asked.

In response to Laura's question, Sidney narrowed his eyes: "What will be the difference between the two?"

"The relationship between the Universal Alliance and the Earth Alliance is currently just a business relationship. If the Human Alliance does not intend to break away from the Earth Alliance, then after returning, Laura will tell the Earth Alliance about the Human Alliance's situation and the coordinates of the colony planet."

"But if the Human Alliance decides to become a new civilization, then the Universal World will treat the Human Alliance with a civilized attitude. Although it will still notify the Earth Alliance of intelligence about the Human Alliance, the Human Alliance will be qualified to trade with the Universal World and receive assistance from the planet's civilization support proposal."

To put it bluntly, if the Human Alliance still considers itself part of the Earth Alliance, then this is just a simple search mission, and the Universal Alliance will no longer interfere, leaving the entire process to the Earth Alliance.

However, if Renlian prepares to become independent, then Huanyu will have multiple clients.

Now that we're independent, we can also enjoy global civilization assistance proposals!

Now you know what to choose, right?

"Of course, only by personally experiencing the darkness of the universe can we more deeply understand the error of the pro-foreign sentiment in the United Nations."

The answer is undoubtedly clear: Laura's death on this road essentially gave the People's Union a response, while Sidney was merely providing written confirmation on behalf of the authorities.

The current human alliance is still in its early stages and has not suffered many setbacks, but due to the initial encounter with aliens and the resulting enmity, a sense of rejection is gradually forming.

Huanmeng and Huanyu are alright; their aesthetics perfectly match those of the Human Alliance, and since they are related to the Earth Alliance, they also have a good attitude towards people, so for the time being, the Human Alliance is willing to treat them as equals.

"In that case..."

Having received the desired response, Laura handed the Universal Transaction Photon Projector to Sidney: "Well then, welcome to Universal Services."

Within the projector, the Human Alliance has the same permissions as the Ground Alliance, but due to the technological gap, it can actually access far fewer things than the Ground Alliance.

However, unlike the local federation, the people's federation can enjoy preferential treatment for proposals, the most notable of which is the restoration of database services for technological gaps.

The Global Database, even if only accessible to those below the level of aerospace-grade civilizations within the Human Alliance, can quickly elevate the Human Alliance's technology to the level of the Earth Alliance.

Of course, the price is also quite high. Because it involves the transfer of science and technology and the construction of key manufacturing chains, the Human Alliance not only has to expend a huge amount of resources after entering the spacefaring civilization, but also has to open up its market and allow people from all over the world to settle in.

Although they seem similar to the requirements of the local federation, there are still many differences in reality.

The biggest problem is that the People's Federation is currently operating under a planned economy model due to scarce resources.

Once the agreement is agreed to, it means that in the vast human resources market, there will only be one voice from Huanyu.

This is tantamount to handing over the economic lifeline of the People's Federation to the hands of the Global Federation. And along the way, the People's Federation will have to make a thousand times more effort to eliminate the hidden dangers.

Such a harsh agreement, even with pro-foreign sentiment, would be hard for Piola to believe without half a year of talk.

However, Sidney's decisiveness was clearly greater than Laura had imagined, and he agreed to the agreement without hesitation.

In this respect, human connections far surpass geographical connections.

128. Pioneer Monument

"Don't you want to think about it? Although this statement doesn't align with Laura's stance, even from a global perspective, many of the regulations mentioned above are quite harsh."

Laura asked with some surprise as she watched Sidney, representing the People's Union, decisively sign the support proposal.

Although the regulations stated that the universe would not interfere in the internal affairs of civilizations by seizing their economic lifelines, Laura did not believe that she could become the Grand Marshal of the United Nations, especially since Sidney, who had experienced a great purge, would believe such a ridiculous guarantee.

"So what? You have to give as much as you want to gain, and besides, the People's Federation doesn't have many other options."

Sidney shook his head: "With an internal survival crisis and external invasion, once the news of independence reaches the Earth Alliance, the Human Alliance will completely lose its only reliable partner."

"Compared to the cost of continuing civilization, the laws of the universe are nothing. Now, we can only trust the universe."

It must be said that Sidney saw things very clearly. Even the young lady who previously looked down on the Alliance now had to admit Sidney's boldness.

It's a pity. If the Human Alliance had taken an idealistic approach and connected with the virtual world, the End of Reincarnation would probably have liked such a customer.

"Rest assured, Huanyu values ​​its reputation. Moreover, compared to those interests, the friendship between the People's Federation seems to be more valuable."

Laura smiled at Sidney. To be honest, the creation of the universe was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. As the creator of the Star Universe, Laura wouldn't go to such lengths to cheat people for such a small amount of resources.

In the entire world, there are almost no bloodthirsty capitalists who are solely driven by profit. Even Santi has his own bottom line (I suppose).

Sidney's belief in the universe was more out of helplessness, but regardless, at least Sidney and the entire United Nations still held hope for Laura, for Veneto, and for the entire universe.

Laura was unwilling to disappoint this hope.

After all, wasn't Noah's Light's request to continue human civilization? Although Laura's very existence is the best embodiment of this request, she is still willing to help the Human Alliance within her capabilities.

"Then, I wish you all the best in reaching the stars soon."

If a contract is signed, then Laura will not owe any payments.

A continuous stream of nano-transformers flowed out from the spatial vortex that Laura had just created, subsequently covering the entire area where Laura had landed, clearing away harmful atmospheric and terrain obstacles while constructing a massive city.

As Sidney stepped across the space bridge opened by Laura, he watched in awe as the city that the Federation had always dreamed of rose from the ground.

Complete industrial facilities, mature agricultural areas, and even the technological gap that had previously plagued the scientists of the Human Alliance were all resolved in one fell swoop by a special master archive.

In addition, Sidney even saw many things that were not mentioned in the proposal.
