Blessings to the beautiful stars

Chapter 22 Running away with a bucket
Thousands of years ago, there were 600 million civilizations flying to the Star Sea at the same time.That sounds like a lot, but considering they were chosen from a total of 20 billion civilizations, the number is a bit tricky.

Therefore, the civilizations that entered the star sea were originally selected one in a thousand, and most of the rest were still bound to the earth by the gravity of the planet.Or there are occasional ones that go into space, most of them are the most, and only some sub-light speed spacecraft have been developed.

The backwardness of science and technology made them scornfully called "indigenous civilization".Those with better luck will be inspired and accepted by the civilization that lacks the population among the 600 million people; those with less luck will be directly slaughtered and their homes will be occupied, and soon both history and blood will be wiped out together.

Whether it is good or not bad, an observation station is set up in the orbit of the parent star, and it is used as an observation sample such as sociology.

Of course, occasionally some indigenous civilizations are out of the question, so let’s not mention them now.

The place where Levina was born is called "Chudan", which is a planet classified as an observation object.

A hundred years ago, the detectors used by Dilian Observation appeared carelessly over Chudan Star, and they didn't even bother to hide their whereabouts.

The elves of Chudan suddenly discovered that they were not the only ones in the universe, and when the aliens from space watched the earth quietly like a god, the turmoil and panic that broke out almost overturned the entire society.

The reason why the Chudan society reacted so fiercely was because the elves there were a little special: Although the reason was unknown, they just believed that they should be the most advanced and beautiful race in the entire galaxy and even the universe.

This strange self-confidence is engraved deep in the souls of Chudan elves, just like their innate and unbreakable ideological stamp.

Therefore, a detector in the sky beyond Chu Dan's understanding made the elves so at a loss.The turbulence that erupted on the premise of this almost unsolvable contradiction is exactly the social phenomenon that Dilian hopes to study.

How can we evolve without experiencing conflict?The inexplicable existence of the thought seal is a curse to these elves, but also a blessing.While causing them pain, there are also quite practical reflections.

Some elves think that the backwardness of their own race must be the reason why the government's policies or the research of scientists have gone astray.

From quarrels, to sticks, to knives and guns; the intensity of criticism has become stronger and stronger, and the Chudan regime has become more tenacious.Before the scientists there published their results, most of them had practiced martial arts well.

Some other elves tried their best to contact the voices from outside the land—mostly unofficial organizations such as scavengers or mercenary groups in the Imperial Union.

The elves approach these malicious groups with the mentality of a foreign student, embark on a journey away from home, and then never return in all likelihood.

After a hundred years of sinking, some elves who had run away from Chudan Star finally brought back knowledge from outside the earth.While enhancing the scientific and spiritual attainments of the elves, it also renders the alien galaxy to be developed and beautiful.

But now, Levina has finally discovered that this does not seem to be the truth.

And the little ball toy in front of her is still showing off that fallacy:

"This is a rotten world. It is rare to see such a humane regime like Dilian. You should be grateful!"

"Think Dilian is too harsh on your natives? I think Dilian is too kind to you! Last year we lost a few animal husbandry planets, right? Our nomadic neighbors melted almost 200 billion natives in their territory, It took a whole psychic weapon to fight. If we also have... hehe."

"The neighbors vacated a few native home planets, and got several well-constructed animal husbandry planets. This time it is a big profit."

"Huh? What expression? Don't you think it doesn't matter? You have the wrong mentality! If the Dilian is stronger, your hometown will be safer. No matter what, it's better than the whole family being arrested and used as weapons."

"Crooked? Are you listening?"

Levina had fallen silent a long time ago.Strange to say, when AI continued to show off the so-called "benevolent government" of Dilian in a proud tone, her anger that almost burst into the heart of her heart gradually disappeared.

how to say?Levina was just wondering, is it really necessary to get angry with a small toy ball in front of her?It is definitely not the object I should be angry with.Maybe...it shouldn't be this Imperial Alliance.

Levina shook her head, and suddenly lifted the AI ​​up, ignoring its protests, with a slightly mocking expression behind the veil:

"Speaking of which, you are such a 'humane' emperor, after seeing you, a dignified lord, have made such a big mistake - you were kicked from your seat, and you let something that may be a star-destroying weapon be under your nose When it starts, what will you eat and hang up?"

The AI ​​didn't speak, but the light on the toy it boarded began to flicker brightly and darkly, showing its inner turmoil.

At this time, Levina covered her mouth behind the veil with her fingers, but imitated the tone of AI: "Oh, I accidentally forgot, but you probably don't even count as a human being,"

"And is the Imperial Union really as generous as you said, and will give you some of its so-called humanity? Listen clearly, humanity, 'humanity'."

Suddenly, there was a "squeak" sound from the small toy in front of Levina.This is the full-power calculation of AI, hoping to find the best rebuttal solution.

But the maid also knows how to survive a quarrel.

Almost without thinking.

Levina directly threw the little toy into the weird tea she made.Bubbles of gurgling bubbles came out, and all the words of the AI ​​disappeared.

"You should be happy because I promise it's a super performance."

The maid shook her head, completely forgetting the unpleasantness brought by the AI.He casually began to clean up the little drops of liquid that the little toy had splashed out of the cup.

……

After all, Bai Ace just replaced the colonial AI, and the planet did not surrender under his feet.

Therefore, he has to do enough superficial skills, and everything must be reasonable.

According to the regulations, the colony must guarantee a considerable security force when the scientific research ship is stationed.It was only yesterday that the law enforcers suffered heavy losses, so increasing the combat power of individuals became the only choice.

Therefore, the ancient painting Qingkong really sent better equipment to Zuo Wu and Ai Shanshan.

Outside the apartment door, Zuo Wu tried his best to appease Ai Shanshan's shaking.It's obviously just a simple sign for the package, but it feels like signing a contract with the devil.

Finally sent the express drone away.

Ai Shanshan suddenly turned his head to look at Zuo Wu: "What should I do, the fake AI asked me what task I wanted to perform..."

"Can I still choose?" Zuo Wu rubbed his chin: "What options does it give?"

"Either go to low-earth orbit to be responsible for the berthing of scientific research ships; or go to station near the previous mine pit to protect the scientific researchers who come over at any time,"

Ai Shanshan twisted his fingers: "No matter how you look at it, it's safer to stay near the low-Earth orbit!"

"Indeed," Zuo Wu nodded, "Can you drive a research ship?"

Ai Shanshan was stunned: "... open a research ship? What do you want to do?"

She does know how to drive a scientific research ship. The development of science has made the operation of many things relatively simple.As long as you don't do any complicated actions and have the assistance of AI, you can completely start the starship by yourself.

Zuo Wu narrowed his eyes and touched his chin: "I think, when the scientific researchers above come down to study, we will steal their scientific research ships and run away directly. In this way, no matter whether this planet explodes or is occupied in the future, It's none of our business,"

"After all, the identity of the scientific research ship that came is fake, so we should have no problem driving it away. If we are lucky, we may be able to contact the headquarters of the God Alliance, which should be a great achievement."

Ai Shanshan nodded ignorantly: "...a great idea. But unfortunately, the scientific research ship must at least have the captain's authorization before it can leave."

"captain?"

"It is the chief scientist on the scientific research ship. All personnel and equipment configurations are determined around him alone. A scientific research ship is equivalent to the captain's research team," she explained.

Zuo Wu nodded, and clasped his hands for a while to think: "Ai Shanshan, do you think we are the most powerful law enforcement officers on this planet in the eyes of AI?"

"Should... yes," Ai Shanshan blinked: "You want to kidnap the chief of the scientific research ship directly?!"

"Yes. Since we are the most powerful law enforcement officers, there is a probability that the security work of the chief scientist will be handed over to us in name. Even if someone else protects the captain, we will not be arranged too far away. ,” Zuo Wu grinned:
"Thinking about it this way, the first option means sending us away from the surface. If we want to do something, we should stay near the mine to have more room for movement."

Ai Shanshan still hesitated: "But the fake AI gave us the opportunity to stay on the ground, which shows that it has no fear at all! There is a high probability that there will be quite powerful things staring at us near the mine!"

Zuo Wu clasped his hands: "That makes sense... But if we stay in low-earth orbit, is it possible to get close to the chief and then kidnap him?"

"I don't think so. The individual power armor that the captain will equip is much stronger than ours. And in space where there is almost no gravity and no cover to turn around, the gap between the equipment will be multiplied,"

Ai Shanshan was convinced: "No matter how much our equipment is upgraded, it will not exceed the range of law enforcers, and we will not be able to catch up with the captain.

"What about in the mines?"

"...the captain's horizontal maneuvering range will be limited within the diameter of the mine pit, and vertical maneuvering will also be blocked by complex terrain,"

Ai Shanshan made a bitter face: "Is it really going to hijack a scientific research ship?!"

"Let's see the situation," Zuo Wu shrugged, "It's best to be hijacked. There is really no chance. It's not bad to go to low-Earth orbit to find a way."

"It's just that you and Levina must stay by my side, for sure. Compared with the mine pits tens of kilometers deep and the low-earth orbit hundreds of kilometers high, the range of my favor is still too short."
