From black technology to super engineering - #825 - Chapter 822 Mandarin Ducks

Three days later, in response to the “letter begging for mercy” sent by the Empire – it is undeniable that from a human perspective, this is a letter begging for mercy – the Virgo Super Galaxy Alliance formed a response team with representatives from multiple civilizations.

Its members include Yang Wenzhi and Zeng Yuanhai, the commanders-in-chief of the two fleets, as well as He Mo, the head of the human external intelligence department CNY, Director Xia of the Foreign Affairs Office, Qin Weiguo of the Taiyue Command Center, and Director He of the Community Office. Wait, of course, there are also representatives of several other civilizations who were deeply involved in the war, such as the War Ceremony Borali of the Blue Star people, Azshara, the fleet governor of the Kron people, and the fleet commander Vlak of the Tara people…

The team leader is Qin Weiguo, and the deputy leaders are Director Xia, Yang Wenzhi, and Azshara.

According to management, the group still has a team of scientific advisors, and these advisors have a lot of background…

In addition to Ye Ming, there are also Uda Dalisi who took time out of his busy schedule to cooperate with the work, as well as Orlando, the chief wise man of the Kerong people, and Dietlan, the chief science officer of the Tara people.

Hmm… Such a configuration fully reflects the domestic political inertia.

…

Above the planet Ella, the space city.

After everyone had read the contents of each other’s communications over the past few days, Qin Weiguo in the video began to preside over the meeting.

“First of all, let’s make a premise, that is, the current initiative is in our hands, so don’t have too many scruples.” Qin Weiguo smiled a little relaxedly: “Although the enemy is still very strong on the surface, we can think that they are not It’s just a bluff. Let’s talk freely and discuss it freely.”

As Qin Weiguo set the tone, the virtual conference room became lively.

As a representative of the fleet, Zeng Yuanhai has always been known for his outspokenness. He immediately said: “It’s okay to talk, and it’s okay to fight. But now the enemy looks like he wants to fight us desperately, and he has sent a peace invitation… This is a bit strange. understood.”

After a pause, Zeng Yuanhai added: “Of course, destroying them is the established goal, and I absolutely do not agree to let them be raised.”

Listening to Zeng Yuanhai’s words, bursts of laughter could be heard in the conference room.

Ye Ming also smiled slightly.

Zeng Yuanhai is right. Whether he agrees to peace or not, the logic behind it is how much benefit mankind can gain – now mankind has no intention of attacking the empire quickly. Even Zeng Yuanhai, the most “radical” frontline soldiers, knew that it was extremely difficult to complete the unification of the universe in a short period of time.

In other words, mankind originally wanted to rest for a few years, wait until technology leaps forward again, wait until it has more warships and missiles, and then push forward in a flat wave.

If the enemy wants peace, of course he can agree to it.

But as Zeng Yuanhai said, it is a bit thought-provoking that while shouting for peace, the army is pressing down on the border, making a show of fighting to the death.

“Actually, I can understand it.” Director Xia, who is well versed in the ways of foreign teachers, lit up her profile picture. She still had her iconic mid-length hair, and said with a smile: “They should be prepared with both hands, either to use war to promote peace, or to fight to the death. ——From this point of view, the conditions offered by the enemy do not seem to be particularly important.”

After Director Xia finished speaking, Ye Ming’s eyes lit up for a moment, and then he nodded with a smile.

Jiang is indeed very old, and his many years of foreign affairs work have allowed Director Xia to judge the value of the enemy’s chips at a glance.

“So we can also prepare with both hands. We can talk first, and at the same time we must prepare for fighting. However, if we want to prepare for talks, then we must arrange the location and time of the talks.” Director Xia paused as he spoke. Dayton: “This is my personal opinion.”

Director Xia’s words immediately gained everyone’s approval.

Qin Weiguo also nodded with a smile, and then looked at everyone: “Then our opinions are unified?”

“I have a question.” Orlando raised his hand.

“Mr. Orlando, please speak.”

“Judging from the information provided, the enemy’s negotiation conditions this time… seem to be just about the technology of immortality.” Orlando’s expression was slightly serious. He glanced in the direction of Ye Ming, and then looked at Qin Weiguo: ” This technology…do we really need it?”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Weiguo was also startled, and then he also looked at Ye Ming.

——Ye Ming, who is most opposed to Yongsheng, did not object this time. This is one of the important reasons why today’s discussion went so smoothly.

Facing everyone’s gaze, Ye Ming, who had always maintained a focus on participation, smiled slightly. After pondering for a few seconds, he slowly said: “I must admit that I am not curious about immortality, but I am interested in an existing way to achieve immortality. technology… I still have a certain degree of curiosity.”

“Those of us here who have used Zhinao have at least heard of Zhinao… I think everyone knows that the Zhinao system itself is a bug-like existence, especially…” Ye Ming He narrowed his eyes slightly: “It is also closely related to the high-dimensional universe and high-dimensional matter.”

“Perhaps, this is an opportunity for us to completely understand the high-dimensional universe and even the multi-dimensional universe. Therefore, if the implementation method is not troublesome…the theory is not complicated, then it is obviously no problem for us to talk about it.”

“As for whether we want to go to eternal life.”

Ye Ming’s expression gradually became serious: “My attitude has never changed, there is no need.”

“The miracle of life lies in reproduction and evolution, not in eternity.”

As Ye Ming’s voice fell, the venue fell into a brief silence.

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

“What if science comes to an end?”

Ye Ming looked along the sound and saw that it was Director He from the community office.

Director He does not have any technical background, but behind him is the most powerful council in the community.

Seeing Ye Ming’s eyes, Director He nodded slightly and smiled at him.

“At present, it seems that the end of science is still far away before human beings can complete their survival in ascending dimensions.”

“Or, let me make a simple metaphor. If the end of science is a hundred meters, then we are now… only about ten meters away.” Ye Ming also smiled at the corner of his mouth: “I have been with several prisoners of the empire. We all talked about it, and they all mentioned invariably that humans threaten the paradise.”

“This means that the so-called paradise and the so-called eternity are still built in the three-dimensional universe.”

“And this universe will eventually disappear.”

“This time may be tens of billions of years, hundreds of billions of years, trillions of years, trillions of years… But after all, it cannot escape the laws of the material world and will eventually disappear.”

“Maybe, some people will think this time is too long. But…it will come eventually.”

“To put it bluntly, according to our current technological level, all it takes is a super-galactic gamma ray burst to completely wipe out life on Earth… not to mention immortality and the end of science. .”

Director He listened quietly, and then nodded slightly to Ye Ming.

Seeing that there was no objection, Qin Weiguo announced that the meeting had entered the preparatory period.

…

…

One month later.

Provincial capital, mountain villa.

Hall opened his eyes from the morning light.

Since meeting that Gloria last time, human beings’ attitude has undergone a 180-degree turn, and they have begun to “torture” them endlessly.

Although there was no brutal whipping or corporal punishment, the torture that kept people awake for days and nights was far more painful and unbearable than corporal punishment.

Human interrogators often have to ask a question several times, dozens of times or even hundreds of times…

And since then, Dika has also been taken away and disappeared – only a little bit of news will be heard every time the human interrogator interrogates.

“Is today your day off?” Hall glanced at the time, then looked at the human interrogator standing beside the bed, with a hint of ridicule on his lips.

He relied on his astonishing willpower and physical fitness to carry it for a month, and he knew the tricks of humans very well – humans were also afraid that he would accidentally die if he didn’t get the necessary rest.

Counting the time, today should be another day to torture myself.

But judging from the time, the interrogation should have started long ago, but the other party did not take action and just looked at him indifferently.

“No, today is your day off.”

“Oh, then should I thank you?” Hall sat up and began to get dressed indifferently.

“I’ll give you twenty minutes to get ready and wash up.”

“Oh? Are you going to meet some big shot?”

“Yes.” The interrogator put his hands behind his back and said with a faint smile: “Congratulations, Mr. Hall.”

“What’s the meaning?”

The interrogator did not answer, but stood aside and started counting.

Twenty minutes later, Hall finished washing.

“Get in the car.” The interrogator turned and left.

A trace of doubt finally appeared on Hall’s cold face, but he couldn’t help but think too much – because the steel guard behind him had pushed him arbitrarily.

After getting in the car, Hall looked at the iron door that was very close to him but he had never gone out. He suddenly fell into an inexplicable panic.

——This… isn’t he going to execute himself?

No…then you shouldn’t congratulate yourself!

…That’s not right either! According to his current situation, execution… I’m afraid it is really a kind of congratulation.

Clenching his hands, Hall held his breath and watched the signs on the mountain go down until…he saw a spaceship parked in the square below the mountain.

After being taken aboard the spaceship, he relaxed a little.

Immediately afterwards, the spacecraft took off and headed towards space.

When the spacecraft passed through the artificial stargate, Hall looked at the porthole, and then…

His whole body instantly stiffened.

…

In the CNY office, Ye Ming raised his head from his tablet, glanced at Hall and pointed to the sofa opposite.

“sit.”

Due to Ye Ming’s arrival, today’s CNY office has been extra decorated. The previous screens have been separated by multi-functional partitions, and doors have been added – He Mo still works here, but sitting in his opposite.

Next to the desk, a coffee table and sofa were placed according to the decoration style of Ye Ming’s previous office – which Ye Ming used his “privilege” to bring here.

Of course, these… will definitely benefit his eldest disciple He Mo from now on.

Hall closed his eyes, took a deep breath and sat down slowly.

Ye Ming stood up from behind his desk, walked to sit opposite Hall, and then looked at him with a smile.

“Mr. Hall, how do you feel about returning to your old place?”

Looking at Ye Ming’s smiling face, Hall clenched his fists hard and endured it for a long time before breathing heavily, and then stared at him: “Although I considered the worst case scenario when I decided to stay, and I knew From then on, life and dignity were handed over to human beings.”

“But I must say that your question is a bit too much.”

“Well… then I apologize.” Ye Ming smiled and shook his head, motioning for He Mo to make tea.

He Mo smiled sweetly, made two cups of tea and put them in front of Hall and Ye Ming, and then sat behind Ye Ming like a secretary.

“If you have any questions, just say it.” Hall said coldly without even touching the tea cup: “By the way, I want to remind you, if you don’t… want to see your ending, I can Those who gave up their lives.”

“Well, it means that you are not even afraid of death.” Ye Ming picked up the tea cup and took a sip, tilting his head and smiling: “Can I understand this?”

Hall remained silent.

“Let me remind you again, unlike you, humans will not treat any intelligent creature as a grasshopper.”

Hall continued to remain silent.

“It seems that your life has not been very good in the past few months.” Ye Ming put down the tea cup, waited for a few seconds and smiled slightly: “I hope that when you see Liana, you won’t be so silent again. “

As Ye Ming’s voice fell, Hall’s eyes suddenly turned.

Then, as if he couldn’t believe his ears, the hair all over his body stood up in a flash! He stood up, clenched his fists in front of his chest, and his expression became extremely ferocious.

“What did you say?”

“What did you do to her?!”

As Hall became excited, the watch in his hand began to flash red.

This is a precursor to triggering the system electrodes.

But Ye Ming didn’t care at all. He still kept his smile, picked up the tea cup again, and blew the tea foam gently while speaking softly, seemingly casually.

“In order to seek peace, the empire sent a negotiation team to conduct face-to-face negotiations with us.”

“And you are the person Lianna, the person in charge of negotiations opposite, named to meet.”

After finishing speaking, Ye Ming took a look at the time.

“In about three hours, the superb ships from the empire will enter the Ella system.”

Hall’s breathing suddenly resumed, and then became rapid.

He gasped for air and stared at Ye Ming, as if to judge whether Ye Ming was lying.

Then…he confirmed it.

Ye Ming didn’t lie to him.

He clenched his fists hard and bit his lips, and he could even feel the salty taste coming from his tongue.

“Then what?”

“Then? Of course, I want you to meet.” Ye Ming flicked his clothes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “Of course, if we can’t reach an agreement, you can only meet once.”
