Chapter 245 238 Teizene's merchant fleet
Bai Zhongqi was researching information on the Box Star Territory, when Han Jiaxue suddenly came up to him with a light computer in her arms, and said somewhat excitedly, yet with a hint of panic, "The trading platform has updated with a batch of trades, and transactions related to the Teizene civilization have appeared."@@@@
Bai Zhongqi immediately sat up from the bench, "Does this mean the Teizene have also come here?"
This was actually quite expected. Bupinga Star was very close to the Box Star Territory and was the only commercial planet established by a consortium in the nearby star regions, where many civilizations conducted trade. Obviously, the reputation of the Teizene civilization was so poor that no civilization dared to visit them for business, and the Teizene wouldn't send their own trade fleets into other civilizations' star systems. Therefore, a trade star like Bupinga was the only option for the Teizene to conduct their trade.
Bai Zhongqi immediately retrieved the content automatically filmed by the Sacred Falcon. The Sacred Falcon was now floating in the outer orbit of Bupinga Star, where numerous spaceships from other civilizations were also docked. If the Teizene civilization had truly arrived, there would certainly be traces of their presence.
Indeed, Bai Zhongqi soon found the Teizene escort ships among a bunch of spaceships that were also stationary in the orbit of Bupinga.
The Teizene civilization's warships were distinctive. Teizene warships tended to have a broad, flat hull with a protruding bow, resembling the head of a lizard, and four external thrusters that looked like the limbs of a lizard. In addition, the hull armor of the Teizene civilization also somewhat resembled the fine scales of reptiles, making even the Teizene warships look very lizard-like.
"A total of four escort ships for protection?" Bai Zhongqi pondered as he looked at the footage.
The volume of the Teizene escort ships was smaller than that of Iridium Star's escort ships, but they were wider. These warships were typically only about two hundred meters in length and, although not very fast in interstellar travel, were extremely agile in small-scale tactical maneuvers thanks to Teizene's unique technologies. These escort ships could even compete with some large fighter craft in terms of agility, with their four massive thrusters constantly changing positions and continuously transforming potential and kinetic energy. The Teizene warships leveraged every factor at their disposal to make themselves difficult to hit by enemies and to launch surprise attacks.
"It's surprising that the Teizene civilization, being a Cannibalistic Civilization, not only uses these conquered individuals as their food but even sells them as slaves to other civilizations," Bai Zhongqi did not lament the fate of these slaves, feeling only a faint sympathy. Technological advancement and civilizational progress had not made the universe a more harmonious or friendly place.
Zero also spoke up, "Should we try doing some business with those lizards from Teizene to understand them more directly?"
Bai Zhongqi smiled and said, "Hmm, that is indeed a good idea."
Haras, who traveled from Earth, had not included much information about Iridium Star in the message he sent to Teizene, and even the appearance of the Sacred Falcon and the image of Bai Zhongqi had not been discovered. This arrogant old lizard person spent more time describing his own experiences and the importance of the Danlu Interstellar Cloud.
Once Bai Zhongqi made up his mind, he immediately contacted He Qiu, the temporary agent for the Eagle Shield Civilization, and expressed his interest in several deals posted by Teizene, wishing to make contact with the Teizene side.
Thinking a major deal was imminent, He Qiu became invigorated and started to move vigorously.
It didn't take long for He Qiu to make a video call to Bai Zhongqi.
"Boss, I've used my connections to dig up some secret news. The Teizene are brewing some major move lately, dispatching a fleet of up to two thousand warships that have already warped out. To raise the military funds for the fleet or to prepare for something bigger, the Teizene are even planning to sell a total of fifteen planets they control on the outskirts of the Joudou Galaxy and the Box Star Territory. These planets are mainly territories they've conquered. The populations have been snatched or eaten, and not much is left. Out of these, two planets are suitable for Primate Clan habitation, and the rest are ice planets, volcanic planets, and metal planets. They all basically have ecological bases that can support life. I'm not sure if you're interested, boss, but maybe we can get one or two such planets at a low price."
