Most of the time, ordinary people in the Milky Way will regard the Odwells as intelligent machines... In fact, the Odwells' performance is similar to that of machines. They always follow their own crucifixion guidelines and often share experiences and insights between individuals.

However, there are some aliens among the Odwell people. These people believe that personality is necessary for the progress of civilization. Every progress of the Odwell civilization arose from the whimsical ideas of the Great Elders. In the Enlightenment Age of Odwell, the Great Elders were relatively not easily swallowed by the environment because of their huge figures. The younger Odwell people with smaller bodies are likely to be unable to survive in the harsh environment of Odwell's home planet for too long, which led to the Great Elders not rushing to share their experiences: it may be useless to share them.

A small number of modern Odwellians believe that the practice of the Great Elders is the key to the rapid progress of the Odwellian society in the Enlightenment era.

The milder individuals in these minorities choose not to accept sharing from their compatriots in order to create their own uniqueness, but do not refuse to provide their experience to their compatriots. The radical guys completely reject the very important sharingism in Odwell's culture.

Among these minorities, the most dangerous group of people in the Galaxy was born. For these dangerous Odwell people, there is a conventional title inside the Milky Way: Dark Sage.

Although the Dark Sages are dangerous, they are not evil. The Odwells have no malice at any time. They are pure utilitarians. If they destroy a planet, it must be because they have been screened and found that destroying this planet is the best way to achieve their goals.

Therefore, compared with all kinds of evil people in the Milky Way, Black Xian is more dangerous and terrifying, because as long as they can achieve their goals, they can do anything crazy.

Now, when Lin Youde faced the Odwell man who claimed to be "seeking", he couldn't help but ask: "Are you the so-called dark sage?"

"This is not something I can decide. The title of Dark Sage has always been a person outside the Odwellian race who decides which Odwellian individual to be assigned. In addition, my title does not matter. Trading is based on the exchange of interests first, and incorporating reputation into transactions is an inefficient behavior."

"You're right," Lin Youde had to agree. The Odwells never make fakes in transactions and were extremely difficult to be deceived, so dealing with the Odwells is generally a reciprocal equivalent exchange between the two parties. "In fact, we need a science officer with the ship."

"So what you want to get is my personal labor? A contract of employment? I understand. So what are you going to do to exchange it?"

"You just said that there are some...good things on our ship."

"That depends on how good those things are. I have my own research project. Your things must be good enough to have the value of letting me temporarily terminate my research project."

At this time, Lin Kaori inserted the conversation: "Can you ask what the project you are working on now?"

"The impact of extreme emergencies on the evolution of civilization." The other party answered Lin Xiangzhi's question without hesitation.

At this time, Xia Yongzhi took the ground images captured by the observation equipment of the enterprise number into the intranet of the enterprise number.

Lin Youde's first reaction when watching the image was that a Resident Evil occurred on the ground.

At this time, Lin Youde remembered that the planet below should be one of the native civilization protection stars designated by the Galaxy Parliament, with native civilizations that have developed into the feudal era. However, now it seems that the civilization on the ground does not look like the feudal era in Lin Youde's impression, but instead has a steampunk feeling.

"What have you done to the native civilization on this planet?" Lan Xiaolian couldn't help but questioned the above-level. According to regulations, only Lin Youde and Lin Xiangori had the right to engage in such foreign-related dialogues on the ship.

"Just literally, creating extreme emergencies and then observing the impact of these situations on the evolution of civilization. This is very important to my topic."

"So you triggered a Resident Evil on the surface of this planet?" Lin Youde frowned.

"Resident Evil? A special phrase I haven't seen before. If you can provide an explanation of this phrase, I will be grateful."

The Odwells did not have this concept of gratitude, they would not be grateful, and they would never take revenge. The "seeking" here is purely to echo human etiquette, at least Lin Youde believes that.

Lin Youde sent the explanation related to the Resident Evil to the Odwells, and the other party immediately responded: "So that's the case, it has been entered into the memory bank. Indeed, the current situation in the F-3 area on the ground is very close to the Resident Evil, but in fact, what is being conducted here is an experiment numbered 4512d, which is part of the 4512 set of experiments, aiming to observe the impact of the unequal development of biotechnology on social structure."

"Hey," Enleco muttered in the officers' encrypted channel. "It wouldn't it treat the billions of natives on the planet below as their own experimental material, right?"

"It's clear, the commander!"

"This is a violation of the Galaxy Charter! No wonder the parliament is going to mobilize more than sixty races to attack it."

With the help of Noah, Lin Youde carefully observed the conditions on the ground and asked the Odwellians: "What's the strange steampunk style that the native civilization here is now showing?"

"Because of the previous set of experiments, I stimulated the chemical technology of one of their countries."

"So it became the feeling of the crusades wearing gas masks with prayer-like patterns?"

[You accidentally expressed your true feelings.] Noah reminds.

Then Xia Yongzhi and Freya sent a message at the same time:

"Hey, my personal impression is that you are so steamed idiot."

"It's not a good feeling to mix personal feelings during negotiations?"

The other party also responded to Lin Youde's personal feelings: "Sensible? Can this situation be described as 'sensible' for humans?"

"Uh. That's true for some people." Lin Youde paused, "Okay, we've been off topic for a long time. We already know the research you're doing here. We also know that you'll do some other work to earn the necessary funding for the research. In addition, your research will never continue anyway. Because the Galaxy Council will soon send more fleets to encircle you."

"That's right, so I'm planning to experiment with a planet with native civilizations. To make me give up the topic for the time being, you must give me an option that will attract me more than my current topic."

"That's certainly, but the two parties to the transaction should be equal. We also hope to be sure that you have the value of the secret that is worth our efforts to bring out. I'll just say it, are you a little small?"

Among the Odwell people, the older the Odwell people, the more wiser the older they are. Especially the dark sages who don’t like to share their experiences with other Odwell people, the bigger the ones, the more they are, the more they are, without exception.

[It's good to be big, so many are beautiful, hundreds of billions of turrets, hundreds of billions of stars! Look, I've expressed your inner thoughts, thank me]

Lin Youde ignored Noah.

The "Qiusuan" in front of him is obviously not big enough. If it had the dreadnought-level size of Mr. Da Xiao, Lin Youde would not have raised this topic during negotiations.

"So that's it," the other party's reaction was very calm. "This is a common cognitive mistake. We are constantly increasing because this helps improve our survivability. Therefore, all Odwell people are constantly growing, making their power furnaces grow stronger and their shields grow harder. However, if they are huge, they will reduce their survival rate or cause trouble, and we will also actively reduce their size. If I keep my original shape, it will be impossible for me to hide here."

"I understand, I decided to believe what you said and trust your abilities."

“I’m so grateful for this.”

The Odwells once again became polite and treated the customs.

"Then, we have to make a statement here, and we will send you some of the information that can be leaked."

After Lin Youde finished speaking, he sent a pre-prepared intelligence summary. Each of them was screened, which not only aroused people's interest, but also did not reveal too much content. Therefore, it doesn't matter if the cooperation and negotiations collapsed later.

"A super civilized relics, although very attractive, but sorry..."

The Odwells rarely hesitate, they seem to have a special set of quantitative criteria to evaluate options that humans seem to be unable to quantify their evaluation, so they are always straightforward when making this choice of two.

Lin Youde knew he was rejected.

But he planned to struggle: "There is one more thing, are you interested in the evolutionary path of supercivilization?"

"The road to evolution?" the other party asked.

"The information I gave you is only a matter of what we do about the Dark Fleet because of our concerns. Those people conquered the Milky Way everywhere to evolve to a higher level. They seemed to think that the supercivilization did not disappear, but evolved, and became a higher life form."

"I don't know whether this definition of evolving into a higher life form is similar to the evolution of you humans from lower organic life forms to hybrid life forms like this?"

Lin Youde did not answer, but sent information about the main races of the Dark Fleet recorded by the Sulafe spacecraft.

The Odwellians were silent for two seconds.

"Interesting life form." The response it finally gave made Lin Youde feel like a chance, "What you mean by evolution is that supercivilization has evolved into a life made of purely psychic energy?"

"I didn't say that. Actually, I know very little about these things. I still expect you to tell me the answer. This overlaps with your current research topic, right?"

"Well, there is value in research. First, we want to capture a life form of this dark fleet."

"They should come for us, so working with us is the easiest and most efficient way to achieve this goal."

"Agree." The Odwellian replied with great pleasure. (To be continued.)
