This intelligent race calls themselves the Reicuran Star People, and also refers to their home planet as "Reicuran Star".
In the language of the Reicuran aliens, Reicuran means "chosen by the heavens".
The name alone reveals the character of the Reicuran alien race.
Arrogant, conceited, and ruthless...
These are all labels that the Reicuran aliens are seen by other races in the universe.
On some planets that they once invaded, these despicable creatures are even referred to as "evil aliens."
Speaking of this, we must mention the development history of the Reicuran alien race.
As an intelligent race that evolved from the ocean, the Reicuran aliens did not develop their own civilization by using the power of fire, unlike other intelligent races.
Because on the ocean-filled planet Reicouran, flames are merely a fleeting miracle.
What truly sets the Reicuran aliens apart from the rest of the evolutionary chain is an anti-gravity organ they have evolved over a long period of time.
Thanks to this special anti-gravity organ, the Reicuran aliens broke free from the shackles of the ocean and became a race that could freely soar through the sky.
In the boundless sky, apart from a few predators, the Reicuran aliens have almost no natural enemies.
The Reicuran aliens thus had a long period of time to reproduce and expand, and gradually evolved into a true civilization.
Perhaps it was because they had no natural enemies for a long time that the Reicuran people developed arrogance and conceit to the extreme while developing civilization.
Especially after venturing beyond their home planet, the Reicurans, with their advanced technology, became one of the most notorious bandits in the universe.
In truly advanced cosmic civilizations, resources and energy are often not important.
The countless stars are an inexhaustible resource, while those burning stars are an inexhaustible source of energy.
Any civilization capable of venturing beyond its home planet and engaging in interstellar travel will possess the technology to collect asteroid material and intercept stellar energy.
Some powerful civilizations are even able to extract matter from black holes in reverse, obtaining massive amounts of matter and energy in a short period of time.
What truly limits the further development of cosmic civilizations is technology and time.
The explosion of technology requires the accumulation of primitive technologies, which in turn requires a long period of research.
In this respect, the Reicuran aliens have taken a completely different path from normal advanced civilizations.
Their loose social structure meant they lacked the patience to focus on researching their own race's technology.
Thus, this infamous race in the universe set its sights on the surface races that were about to leave their home planet but had not yet truly mastered interstellar travel technology.
Since we can't advance our own technology, we might as well just plunder the technology of those less advanced civilizations.
Without a doubt, this is a shortcut, a very dangerous shortcut.
Because civilizations in the real universe are not simply upgraded.
Who knows which extraordinary races might stray from their technological path and develop technologies that even advanced cosmic civilizations cannot comprehend?
Let's use the simplest and most vivid analogy.
If a civilization had not discovered electromagnetic waves for various reasons, can you imagine what kind of communication technology they would have developed?
Perhaps it's a relatively simple quantum communication technology?
Or perhaps it's the even more dangerous gravitational wave technology?
Regardless of the outcome, the various offensive weapons derived from this are definitely more dangerous than simple electronic pulses.
Or to put it another way, a certain civilization possesses extraordinary knowledge in material technology.
Before venturing into space, this civilization had already forged its starships into true impregnable fortresses.
So those aliens who try to invade this civilization will be utterly defeated by this civilization that hasn't even left its home planet yet.
This is a common understanding among civilizations in the universe—black box technology.
You can never understand when or where a civilization will come up with outrageous technologies that other civilizations simply cannot comprehend.
In fact, even the Reicuran aliens themselves are like this.
They developed space travel technology that is completely incomprehensible to normal civilizations precisely through the study of their own anti-gravity organs.
Perhaps it's because they've tasted the sweetness of taking shortcuts.
Although the Reicurans knew the dangers of stealing technology from other civilizations, they still stubbornly embarked on this path of no return.
Of course, to prevent a real disaster, the Reicuran aliens would still make some preparations beforehand.
This includes "testing the waters".
When the Reicurans discover a valuable primitive civilization, they often send a member to probe the civilization.
If surface civilizations remain indifferent to the probes of the Reicuran aliens.
Then they will encourage this member to take further initiative to provoke and find out the other party's true intentions.
If this surface civilization decides to retaliate, the Reicuran aliens will take different approaches depending on the circumstances.
If the opposing civilization is too weak, or appears too feeble.
The Reicuran aliens would then use the pretext of an attack on their own members to initiate a war of plunder.
However, if the opposing civilization is too powerful and possesses black-box technology that one cannot understand, then...
The Reicuran aliens would then abandon that member and lead the main force to find a new target.
Without knowing the exact coordinates and location of Reicouran, even if the opposing civilization later learns that this was a deliberate provocation, they can only suffer in silence.
Because the Reicurans did not cause significant casualties, many civilizations would treat the incident as if it never happened.
Thanks to this, the Reicuran aliens are reviled by many aliens as "evil aliens."
But they have always escaped justice and never encountered any real hard targets.
This situation continued until the Reicurans discovered human civilization on Earth.
As always, the Reicurans dispatched a small spaceship to test the technology and character of human civilization.
As a result, the spacecraft was shot down by the Delta Space Station before it even had a chance to approach Earth's outer orbit.
—This is a tough and technologically advanced surface civilization.
Having gained this understanding, the Reicuran aliens turned their attention to their kin who had crashed onto the Earth's surface.
They need to rely on this fellow human to probe more of the secrets and strengths of human civilization.
Then, these Reicuran aliens were shocked to find themselves blocked and being spied on by some unknown entity.

Chapter 323 Lei Qiulan Star People
The central area of the crash zone, the site where the small spacecraft made an emergency landing.
Almost at the same time that the Reicuran alien fleet was locked onto, the individual Reicuran aliens who landed on the Earth's surface also realized the seriousness of the problem.
"This light barrier... it's actually a light energy field?"
As a group of evil aliens who had plundered countless civilizations, the Reicuran aliens recognized the true nature of the light barrier at a glance.
"You humans are actually following the path of a light-energy civilization?"
Turning his head to look at Nanase Makoto, who was bound to the restraint platform, the Raichuran alien stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Although there are countless civilizations and countless routes in the universe, "light energy," as a type of stellar energy, is recognized as one of the most universal energy sources.
Most civilizations that can reach this level of technology at the Earth's surface stage will become top-tier cosmic civilizations.
"Wait a minute, your human technology shouldn't have developed to this level yet!"
By reading Nanase Makoto's memories, the Raichuran alien quickly refuted this judgment.
In Nanase Makoto's memory, humans were indeed the first to develop electricity, and later new energy sources were used as substitutes and spread globally.
This is indeed one of the conventional routes for the development of solar energy civilization.
However, humanity has not yet discovered the true potential of light energy, let alone created such a force field of pure light energy.
"You have yet to witness the true power of humanity!"
Even though he was exhausted, Nanase Makoto still roared in a low voice, his eyes filled with a firm will.
Although he was a dove within TPC, Makoto Nanase, as one of the first members to follow Soichiro Sawai, still had a very firm belief deep in his heart.
"You're the ones who destroyed my aircraft, yet you dare to be so arrogant!"
He glared at Nanase Makoto with great annoyance, his voice filled with the same resentment.
"It is because of your attack that my family and compatriots perished in space, and I was the only one who escaped and survived!"
Upon hearing this, Nanase Makoto, who was bound, gave a disdainful laugh.
"What a perfect example of the wicked accusing the first, and the vicious dog biting first..."
"If you hadn't trespassed into Earth's outer orbit and consistently refused to communicate with us humans, how could we have possibly launched an attack?"
Admittedly, Nanase Makoto's words directly exposed the Raichuran alien's disguise, causing it to fly into a rage.
"Foolish surface creature, you will pay the price for your arrogance!"
The sudden increase in the power of the memory reading device caused Nanase Makoto to groan in pain.
Not satisfied, the Raichuran alien grinned maliciously and murmured in a voice that seemed to come from hell.
"You killed my family, and I will make you suffer the same pain!"
"Let me see... You seem to have a lovely daughter, don't you?"
"If I killed your precious daughter, would you still be as arrogant as you are now?"
......................................................................................................
On the outskirts of the central area, at the edge of the forest that has been reduced to scorched earth.
Daigo, who was using all his psychic powers, did not take long to find the landing site of Victory Flying Swallow No. 1.
Then, using Victory Swallow No. 1 as the center, Daigo spread his psychic power and quickly arrived at the side of the helpless Rena.
At this moment, Lina was not far from Victory Swallow No. 1.
Despite Lina's impulsive decision to attack after learning that her father had been kidnapped by aliens.
Regardless, she ultimately retained the basic qualities of a top-notch pilot.
At least Lina isn't rushing in to get herself killed.
Is that the place?
He appeared silently beside Rena, and Daigo's appearance startled her.
Fortunately, Lina reacted quickly, covering her mouth immediately and glaring fiercely at Daigo, who was still chuckling.
"The captain told me to tell you to remember to put me in solitary confinement when you get back."
"In addition, all allowances for this month are cancelled, and the Victory Team rules must be copied ten times."
Upon hearing this, Lina was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure whether to admire the captain's kindness or his wickedness.
The matter of unauthorized operation of the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 was simply swept under the rug?
However, the thought of going back to solitary confinement, copying rules, and losing even her allowance and subsidies turned Lina's small sense of relief into frustration and helplessness.
"You were the one who suggested this punishment for copying the code of conduct, weren't you?"
It goes without saying that only Shinjo and Daigo in the entire GUTS team would suggest such a disgusting punishment as copying the rules.
Shinjou acted out of his own perverse sense of humor, while Daigo had received a similar punishment from Lu Xuan.
"It was Xincheng who proposed it; it has nothing to do with me!"
