The interstellar construction conference has reached the day for the newcomers’ contest results to be announced. Interstellar architects from various civilizations gather together, awaiting the unveiling of the final results.
Walking into the building resembling a Klein Bottle, over a hundred thousand people have already gathered here.
The interstellar architects are discussing and guessing the outcome of this competition.
"This time, the four affiliated civilizations of the Black Sea Civilization are impressive, all entering the top ten."
He Xingzhou looked and, sure enough, the technology points of the Sea Beast Civilization, Fishman Civilization, Conch Civilization, and Sea Demon Civilization all ranked in the top ten, with the Sea Beast Civilization ranked the highest at third place. It seems Black Sea Civilization’s resources have been significantly divided among the affiliated civilizations.
"The Long Vine Civilization might be first!" Long Vine Civilization is a Plant Civilization, now holding the first place throne.
"The second place Hunter Civilization is also strong; I’ve heard it’s a branch of an advanced civilization, possibly already a Level 2 Civilization."
"It’s not over yet; the positions in the top ten might still undergo significant changes, as many civilizations haven’t updated their technology points."
"That’s true; if a dark horse appears, that would be interesting!"
"Has everyone seen it? I’ve already entered the top hundred!" Green Demon is promoting his course to the interstellar architects.
The last time He Xingzhou saw him was a hundred years ago, when he thought Green Demon and those people were formidable.
Now, it seems they’re merely on par with the Tianhe Civilization and Sirius Civilization.
"Isn’t this the Little Mermaid and the human lad? Quite a rare sight!" The space port receptionist Ta Mu saw He Xingzhou and Bai Ningxiang, smiling as he approached.
He first said to Bai Ningxiang: "The four affiliated civilizations of your Black Sea Civilization have all ranked; are you planning to split the family?"
Bai Ningxiang, pulling He Xingzhou, said, "No comment."
Ta Mu chuckled, "Pretty much."
He then looked at He Xingzhou and said: "Your Blue Star Civilization has been quite prominent these years. In the Civilization Arena, your commanders have been in the limelight!"
Although He Xingzhou seldom went to the Civilization Arena, the alliance’s commanders frequently trained there, using warships nearly invincible among Level 1 Civilizations!
Even Xu Zhilan and He Hongwei had tried challenging Level 2 Civilizations and won!
"I underestimated you." Ta Mu said, "You haven’t updated your ranking for a hundred years; can you make it to the top hundred this time?"
"Perhaps top three." He Xingzhou said.
"Top three?" Ta Mu raised an eyebrow and said, "You seem very confident. But your competitors aren’t weak; the top hundred, all are 1.9 level civilizations; some have reached Level 2 Civilization within this century."
"If you can make top three, they are mostly Level 2 Civilizations."
He Xingzhou smiled but said nothing, and Ta Mu said: "Interesting, then I’ll be watching!"
"Chengfeng!" Someone was calling He Xingzhou; it was an interstellar architect he once knew, Yan Xin from the Rock Civilization.
"Long time no see; I’ve heard your civilization is doing well." Yan Xin greeted.
"Not bad." He Xingzhou replied, "How about you guys?"
Yan Xin excitedly said, "Very well, we’ve learned a lot here. We’ve also built a Titan Giant Statue! Our ranking might enter the top hundred!"
Titan Giant Statue, a giant weapon made of rock, equipped with kinetic energy weapons and thermal energy weapons, among others.
He Xingzhou didn’t know what level the Titan Giant Statue was, perhaps similar to the Red Moon and its Unconventional Star Destroyer.
Apart from them, people from the Black Sea Civilization, Rugen, Fesi, Zhuoyin, Sairen, and several elders were also in the hall.
They also noticed the arrival of He Xingzhou and Bai Ningxiang.
"That little girl Bai Ningxiang acts like He Xingzhou’s sidekick, disgracing our Black Sea Civilization!" Second Elder Bai Sha snorted.
He always had a sense of superiority as an advanced civilization, coupled with mutual hostility, which made him displeased with both of them.
"Ignore her." Third Elder Lan Jiao said, "As long as we all enter the top ten this time, we can soon obtain resources from within the civilization and become a Level 2 Civilization, maybe even have a chance to join Galaxy Light as an independent civilization."
"To join Galaxy Light, you must at least secure first place." Fifth Elder Hong Lin probed, "Third Elder is so confident? Seems you have prepared an important trump card for the Fishman Civilization!"
"Same goes for everyone; we’ll find out soon!" Lan Jiao wouldn’t reveal his trump card until the end.
In one corner of the hall were members of the Maoshi Star Union.
Ruger, Dan Daster, and others served beside a young woman in green.
"That’s Chengfeng of the Blue Star Civilization." Qing Gu looked at He Xingzhou, the one obstructing the Maoshi Star Civilization’s expansion alongside the Blue Star Civilization.
Ruger whispered: "Mistress, we have observed a decrease in external light from the Sun; it seems they are constructing a technological megastructure on the star’s periphery. This newcomers’ contest, Chengfeng is likely to enter the top ten! Might even have a chance at top three!"
"Their development speed poses a big threat to us, even surpassing the Black Sea Civilization!"
"Let’s watch and see." Qing Gu did not express her stance, waiting for the results to appear.
At this moment, Order Angel announced: "One hour left before the newcomers’ contest ends; all interstellar architects, please update your technology points and rankings."
"It’s starting!" Everyone began working, scanning their technological creations with the Subspace Communicator.
"Over the past century, our civilization constructed one thousand space mining ships, twenty L5 space battleships, and various three space ports!" An interstellar architect inputted their updates, the technology points surged, boosting the ranking by more than a thousand places.
