Ren Zhong told Sun Ai about his confusion.
He remembered that Sun Ai had read the complete history of the empire, so he could ask.
Sun Ai finally seized the opportunity to conjure up a three-dimensional image in front of him through projection.
Now she has changed herself into a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, with her hips crossed, her neck stuck up, her nostrils facing Ren Zhong, and she said proudly: "Now you know how to find me? At that time, I wanted to give you Say, it’s you who don’t want to listen, hum!”
Ren Zhong was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
Sun Ai curled her lips: "Luck, I said it earlier, but you don't like to hear it. It's true."
Listening to Sun Ai sorting it out again, Ren Zhong gradually understood, and the feeling in his heart was indescribably strange.
He knew before that the four major human branches in the ancient pan galaxy went in different directions, each with its own advantages and great differences.
The machine empire, which retains the most authentic human features, is characterized by the development of super-large machines, including starship larvae.Through the combined control of multiple people, the empire can create and control a super-spinning supermachine like a star.
These machines are powerful, but also clumsy.The Mechanical Empire doesn't pay much attention to personal strength. The professional system basically reaches the peak when it reaches the super-level. It pays more attention to the strength of the combined team. A large group of people controls the infinitely magnified super-large machinery.
Among the four countries, although the human beings in the empire appear to be unbearable in the eyes of Ren Zhong, they actually retain the best diversity of thinking and the best creativity. Of course, this is only relative.The hierarchical system of the empire is self-castrating creativity, which appears to be self-contradictory.
Among the four branches, the empire has the second largest population.
The Pilgrim is the detached and sublimated version of the War Artist, who can form an army by himself.
The thinking ability of an individual pilgrim determines the size and total energy level of the substances that an individual can control.
The pilgrims are obsessed with developing the strength of a single person, and can catalyze a planet-level powerhouse who can control a planet-like energy by one person, and even a star-level top powerhouse.
The "net" is an invention of pilgrims, and it mainly plays an auxiliary computing role.Pilgrims can also "network" themselves and infinitely magnify their control power, but they will lose their diverse thinking, become rigid, and lack flexibility. However, pilgrims can fine-tune control, global deployment, and virtual invasion on the battlefield, etc. Level, with amazing abilities.
The pursuit of the sublimator is somewhat similar to that of the pilgrim, but using biological science to achieve a larger body size and more energy control.
A core matrix accommodates all gene pools, and the gene pool contains countless kinds of organisms.In a sense, it can be regarded as the ultimate version of Baifeng's mistletoe ability.
The Empress can be further differentiated and directed to breed different arms.Regardless of whether it is the mother body or the breeding arms, they are both human beings and not human beings.The number of gene pools contained in different levels of empresses is different, and the number and variety of arms that can be catalyzed are different.
The empress can also be upgraded, continuously opening more gene locks to accommodate more genes, but the upgrade process is slow.
The reproductive ability of sublimators is extremely terrifying. For example, some modified gene pools can produce tens of millions of eggs in one birth like fish, bursting out a large number of troops in an instant, and consume a lot of energy to slowly breed super-sized guards Arms.
There are also planet-level and star-level powerhouses inside the sublimator.The super empress is equivalent to a star rank.The first-class empress is equivalent to a planetary rank.The second, third, and fourth ranks of empresses decrease in proportion.For example, the fourth-class empress that Ren Zhong and others encountered before, the controllable energy is exactly equivalent to 10% of the source star.
Among the four branches, the Ascendant has the largest population, after all, the explosion is very fast.
Alans have a similar size to Imperial humans and are not reproductively isolated from each other.
However, mind demons need offspring of the same kind to maintain the ability of mind demons, and the two usually do not mate and reproduce.
This weird race focuses on the development of brain power, and there are also planet-level powerhouses, which are roughly equivalent to Li Yang who carries a super auxiliary brain, who can control all other intelligent life within a range of [-] or even hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
There are even star-level powerhouses whose influence range can even be enlarged to a radius of tens of billions of kilometers.
Li Yang was mistaken for a god-level demon descendant by the old popsicles at the beginning, and he was regarded as a planet-level opponent.But in fact, there are super gods and demons (stars) on top.
Among the four branches, the mind demon has the smallest population, but it is the most difficult to deal with, and the combat power it controls also includes a hodgepodge of the other three races.
Basically, once it is quietly targeted by an individual of the Mind Demon, and then secretly infiltrated and controlled, unless it is a pilgrim wise man who has completely digitalized his thinking, it will be difficult to escape and resist.
No matter how you look at it, the Machine Empire is a weak chicken among the four branches, completely vulnerable, and should have been completely wiped out long ago.
In the past tens of millions of years, the machine empire has indeed encountered the crisis of subjugation many times.
The strange thing is that, whenever the mechanical empire is about to perish, there will be some incredible people who will stand up and turn the tide.
For example, the young aristocrat who snatched the "net" technology from the pilgrims by himself.
This ordinary nobleman who was originally ordinary was just an inconspicuous scout who went deep into the enemy's territory to carry out the mission of sending him to death, but he suddenly exploded and showed incredible talent.
Perhaps due to luck, or perhaps due to his extraordinary talent, he actually drove a mediocre scout ship through the iron-walled defense line, quietly approaching the Pilgrim's omnibus center, and was extremely lucky to be in the omnic On the surface of the planet, a data interface that can directly connect to the core of the brain was found.Ordinary omnic planets would never put such an important interface on the surface of the planet, but at the time, I didn't know what kind of tendon was in the mind of that top wise man, so he did so.
Immediately afterwards, this person really challenged the terrifying omnic super brain computing power with his own wisdom, and won, hacked into the data core of the omnic center, and swept away the source code inside, and finally quietly He retreated without a sound.
This person was once chased to the sky and had nowhere to go, but he was lucky enough to be sucked into a strange black hole. Instead of being broken down into elementary particles, he was completely torn by a white hole that suddenly appeared from the territory of the empire. Tossed out.
Afterwards, the young nobleman began to decipher the source code by himself. In just a few decades of life cycle, he developed a semi-artificial intelligence system that combined the normal human brain with the virtual consciousness of a pilgrim, and created the first An original model of "Net".
Afterwards, after obtaining the "net" technology, the mechanical empire, which was originally retreating steadily, immediately ushered in a wave of technological explosion in a short period of time, and it managed to hold it back.
This young nobleman was originally named Tokamak Martis, and was later identified as the Chosen One, and was given the name San Tokamak Marsti.
Since then, the Martis family has also become the permanent prince family of the empire, and has been enjoying the glory until now.
In addition to this Saint Tokamak Marsti, there are dozens of other similarly chosen princes with different surnames in the history of the empire.
Each changed history and brought a major turning point.
It is also under the support of these chosen ones that the empire has repeatedly turned dangers to safety, and has carried it until now.
"Uncle, I think that your current performance is somewhat similar to these people. So I want to ask, will you be the latest chosen one of the Mechanical Empire?"
Sun Ai said carelessly.
The corner of Ren Zhong's mouth twitched violently, wanting to refute, but he felt that no matter how he refuted, it seemed powerless.
I have to admit that he really looks like that chosen one.
In the eyes of others, since he appeared in the dense forest on the outskirts of Xinghuo Town, he seemed to be accompanied by indescribable good luck. The ability to control is simply unreasonable.
It seemed that what he was fighting was not a war, but a military exercise in which the two parties had already agreed on all the details, and it seemed that two actors were playing against each other, and others would always act according to the script he wrote down.
It was as if there was an invisible mysterious force controlling the thinking of all the enemies, turning these people into puppets with heavy responsibilities. No matter how dominant they were, as long as they were enemies, they would end up miserable.
But Ren Zhong knows that likeness is just like after all, but not real.
His method of persuading Sun Ai is also very simple. He only needs to clearly tell her the truth about resurrection and foresight.
You think it's the blessing of the gods, but it's actually all the information I got in exchange for my life.
But maybe it’s useless to say it, maybe Sun Ai will express it in a straightforward manner, maybe other Chosen Ones, like him, have certain abilities that cannot be measured by common sense.
In the end it's still the same, no one can convince anyone.
"Although I still don't think I will be the Chosen One, and I don't like the inexplicable addition of a holy word in front of the name, turning into some weird holy Ren Zhong, but I can't deny this phenomenon in the machine empire It is indeed very strange. It is as if there is a force beyond human understanding secretly controlling everything and mastering the balance, so that the four major forces, including the empire, are constantly fighting each other, but it is still impossible to tell the real winner. .”
Ren Zhong muttered to himself.
Sun Ai shrugged, "Who knows, maybe it's the will of the universe, or maybe it's the instinct in human genes that requires war to continuously stimulate potential and advance technology. Human instinct controls these, and we don't want to have a one-sided situation. So whenever the empire fails, there will be some chosen ones who are powerful in everything they do, just like you."
Ren Zhong shook his head slightly noncommittally.
He didn't want to be the so-called Chosen One who made a name for the empire, he just wanted to destroy the empire.
But at the same time, he seemed to have to consider the threat of the other three branches of humanity to prevent the complete extinction of the most authentic humans in the empire.
So, maybe he seems to have to help the empire win first, at least gain an advantage, and then try to subvert the empire.
If his life is going in this way, at least in the first half of the journey, he seems to be the chosen one.
……
In the blink of an eye, another 25 years passed. After making a big circle to avoid the eyes and ears of the space pirates and Liu An in the Broken Star Ring, the Origin Star Fleet finally gradually approached the gravitational edge of Nanjiuxing.
Since then, the Origin Star Fleet has finally approached the core system of the empire.
In fact, it is still nearly three light-years away from the outer ring asteroid belt of Nanjiuxing, which is almost out of the maximum gravitational radiation range of Nanjiuxing.
This place was originally a pure cosmic barren zone, but after a natural transition channel was discovered, it was immediately incorporated into the empire's territory.
There is a huge discrete structure space station here, which is a spin barrel structure composed of hundreds of spheres.
The volume of each sphere is about the size of the moon, each with different functions.
It includes a small information flow repeater with automatic independent response capability, which is connected to the Nanxiang star cluster supernet node.
It was this repeater that made the time correction with Sun Ai.
On one side of the space station, 1000 million kilometers away, is the purely natural subspace passage.In this channel, the ship can travel at ten times the speed of light with extremely low energy consumption, and it only takes 108 days to reach the edge of the asteroid belt in the South Nine Galaxy.
The ownership of this space station does not belong to the Nanxiang star cluster, but is directly under the royal family. When you arrive here and complete the identity verification, you have officially entered the sequence of the empire.
In addition, due to the lack of attention to radio communication, there is no equipment in the space station that can support ultra-long-range radio communication. There are only super radio telescopes near the asteroid belt of the Nanjiu galaxy. They usually focus on cosmic observation and rarely perform communication functions.
It takes more than 14 years for the weak radio signal to pass from the source star, reach the super radio telescope, and then return the information to the source star. This is why the nine old popsicles did not try to use radio signals to verify the identity of the responsible apostle at all. .It took too long for the news to come back and forth, and there was no value in trying.
"We have a heavy responsibility. We are about to enter the alert range of the Watchout border space station. Do you want to activate the transponder in advance?"
Ju Qingmeng asked Ren Zhong who had just woken up.
About two years ago, Ys Locke passed away. Due to the delay in selecting a new manager whose working ability was close to that of Ys Locke, the administrative management system within the fleet went through a small shock, and finally Ju Qingmeng woke up early , Familiarized with the new working environment in a very short time, and quickly took over the situation.
Ren Zhong thought for a while, "Turn on the response, identify yourself, and apply for a direct call with the governor of the Watchout. I am the quasi-earl, and I have this authority."
After speaking, he took a deep breath.
It's time to cook your life.
As long as you get on line with the Governor of the Watchout on the communication line, it will be done.
Chapter 493 Survival Philosophy
Without any accident, Ren Zhong, the quasi-earl of the empire, easily contacted the governor of the Watchout, a viscount named Wen Yuanbo.
This viscount has the surname of the royal family, and indeed has royal blood.But from his title, it can be seen that he belongs to some prince in all likelihood. I don't know that generation of descendants. Maybe he has a farther relationship with the royal family than Liu Bei and King Jing of Zhongshan.
Viscount Wen Yuanbo has no pretensions. He heard that the application for the Seeker spacecraft in the Yuanxing Fleet is approaching, and he even came to the space dock to meet him in person. After completing the endorsement registration, upload it to the empire.
Obviously, this Wen Yuanbo Viscount and Liu An are not in the same way, and because of his royal blood, he has the function of directly reporting information.
After the authentication of the Earl of the Empire came from his watch, Ren Zhong heaved a sigh of relief.
It was quite difficult along the way, and there were countless fears and fears. Fortunately, there were no more waves in the end.
Before entering the warping subspace channel, many ships of the Origin Star Fleet are being scanned and inspected, which takes an hour.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ren Zhong and Wen Yuanbo went to a hotel near the space dock to have a meal together, which was regarded as a reception feast. .
At the banquet, Wen Yuanbo expressed his appreciation for Ren Zhong's achievements in a private capacity with a reserved attitude.
For hundreds of thousands of years, there has never been a time when the commander of a C-rank colony was able to defeat the plots of two hostile forces on the way back.Whether it is a god-level psychic or a fourth-class empress, they should not be the enemies that a normal C-level colony return fleet should face. The achievements of the heavy responsibility are enough to attract attention.
Especially in the Battle of the Mother Emperor Ship, the Origin Star Fleet not only won an overwhelming victory, but even got the giant colony cells of the Mother Emperor Ship, which is simply amazing.
After allowing Ren Zhong's dictation to be appropriately rewritten to make it appear as rational as possible, Wen Yuanbo sighed again and again, "Earl Ren Zhong is really a man of destiny, this... this luck is too good."
In order to rationalize the whole battle as much as possible and appropriately weaken his own abilities, Ren Zhong described the process of discovering the ambush of the Queen Mother Ship as astronomical observers discovering an abnormal background radiation in the Tenglong Nebula.
Out of too conservative judgment, he decided to take the exploration route instead and set up ambushes along the way.In the end, it was extremely lucky to wait until the mother emperor ship entered an unstable nuclear fusion star to rest, and just detonated the star at a very low cost to complete the lore.
As for why the Origin Star Fleet was able to avoid the big eruption in the black mist area, and did not immediately reestablish the information flow connection with the empire after escaping from danger, but sailed in covert until now before suddenly revealing its identity. I didn't talk about it in the open, I just sighed together that good fortune makes people happy, and the stars shine brightly.
When the meal was coming to an end, Wen Yuanbo said: "Earl Ren Zhong, although you come from a humble background, your talent is enough to break the barrier of your birth. Compared with you, I am far inferior. Although I have royal blood , I was born to be a Viscount. But compared with you, I have achieved almost nothing. I finally found a position as the governor of the Lookout, but I have been depressed for decades. The Nanxiang Star Cluster has Nanxiang Bo Liu An who is full of martial arts , I really don’t need to do anything superfluous. As far as I know, Uncle Nanxiang is only one step away from the Marquis, and he attaches great importance to power and merit. Count Ren Zhong, you still have to think about it when you go to Nanjiuxing Fazi established a relationship with Uncle Nanxiang to show his attitude. After all, looking at the entire Nanxiang star cluster, you are the only one who can be compared with him in terms of title. But you are still fledgling."
Wen Yuanbo's words were exceptionally clear, how could Ren Zhong not understand, he just cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for the reminder, I will keep it in my heart."
Ren Zhong's first impression of this viscount who has royal blood but is depressed is not bad.This is at least an object that can communicate normally.The other party would be so generous in uploading information in the first place and registering himself in the political sequence of the empire, not purely out of kindness, maybe also some selfishness.
He should also be looking forward to the appearance of an earl in the Nanxiang star cluster who can stand up to Liu An, at least to muddy the water.Then he, the viscount of the royal family who has a yellow vest and will not be in danger of his life no matter how intensified the conflict, will have the opportunity to open up the situation, sweep away the predicament that is completely suppressed by the domineering and powerful Liu An, and show a little bit of ambition.
After a brief rest, the Origin Star Fleet slowly left the Observation space station, and gradually approached the entrance of the warping subspace passage in a tandem formation with the assistance of the light navigation ship dispatched by Wen Yuanbo.
As the day of arriving at the destination drew nearer, more and more people in the fleet who had been in a frozen slumber woke up and began to move outside.At this time, the activation rate of personnel in the fleet exceeds 95%.
At this time, the total population of the fleet has approached 40 billion, and such a high frequency of personnel activities once caused the living space in the fleet to appear overcrowded.
Fortunately, Ju Qingmeng proposed a new management mechanism in time, and began to popularize more comprehensive basic education within the fleet, laying the foundation for the subsequent knowledge training.As soon as Ren Zhong completed the filing, Sun Ai immediately connected with the Imperial Supernet, and after obtaining the earl-level knowledge authorization from the Royal Academy of Sciences, the comprehensive study of advanced knowledge began.
Whether it is adults who have a certain ability to work, or children and young people who are underage, or soldiers who mainly focus on combat skills, all of them have entered various transport ships and armed warships under the leadership of many middle and high-level scholars. classroom.
Ren Zhong told the residents that the technological level of the Mechanical Empire far surpassed that of Yuan Xing.
For Yuanxing humans to integrate into the empire, it is not just as simple as finding a planet in the borderlands to live in.
The Machine Empire is still surrounded by powerful enemies.Although the human society in the Nanxiang Star Cluster has existed for millions of years, it has not been destroyed and rebuilt once or twice during these millions of years.The last time the Nanxiang star cluster was destroyed was only a few hundred thousand years ago.
Therefore, the concept of true integration is far more than geographical, and more intellectual.Compared with the empire humans, most of the current Yuanxing humans can be said to be illiterate.
"The knowledge we used to be proud of is actually just the outdated technology of the mechanical empire millions of years ago. Don't belittle yourself, don't have to be inferior, because most of the colonists who return to the empire are the same. They can only engage in some low-end work, responsible for some raw material mining. Well, and providing some human brains, and then reproduced generation after generation on the supply of synthetic food like livestock feed, and then slowly waited to die out. This death is not necessarily physical, but also It might be cultural."
"Perhaps only a very small number of real top geniuses can break this fate and step into the next level, break away from the lowest commoner class, become a baron, and then exploit others like those frozen elders once exploited us."
"But I think that the limit of the people on the source star is more than that. The emergence of unstable leap technology has proved the potential of the people on the source star at the scientific level. I think that the source star civilization can try to break away from the lowest stage of raw material production, From an agricultural civilization to an interstellar industrial civilization, even scientific research civilization, or military civilization. We have this potential and this opportunity. I have personally obtained the title of earl, and the biggest benefit is that as my The people of your country, your starting point is higher than most of the residents on other planets in the Nanxiang star cluster, and you can even obtain count-level scientific research results."
"So, I hope that you will let go of your inferiority complex and your pride. From now on, you will study hard, learn knowledge, and turn this unfamiliar knowledge into your own wealth as quickly as possible, and work with me to change the status quo and development of the Origin Star civilization." future."
