Center for the Protection of Human Civilization

The feeling of sailing on the starship is no different from taking a train and high-speed train, and the surrounding scenery changes so quickly that ordinary people can't perceive it, and can only see the surrounding scenery turn from gray to white, and then from white to endless darkness.

In less than a minute, the battleship broke through the shackles of the atmosphere, and from the cradle of the earth, its immature and white, baby-like hands reached out into the universe.

"Is this the universe?

John's eyes twinkled at the endless stars, he had traveled through the worlds more than once, but it was the first time he had actually left the cradle of humanity and gone to the stars.

It was only at this time that he could truly feel how magnificent the universe seemed to be at his fingertips when he was in the hyperspace ocean.

"See you for the first time.

Ikawa's voice sounded in John's head, and he didn't be too surprised, but replied silently in his head

, "Yes, sir, the sun never sets on a sunny day in the empire, most of the time it is rainy and hazy, and with my busy work, I rarely have the opportunity to look up at the stars. The

fear in John's voice slowly subsided, and for five hours no one would disturb the heroic man who had died, standing by the porthole, gazing at the magnificence and sinister beauty of the universe.

"There's no need to call me sir, I don't deserve it, John, to let a warrior full of glory die is not the work of a worthy commander.

Yi Chuan's voice was low, this was his dereliction of duty.

If the company had been prepared more, more, and crushed the world with absolute strength, there would not have been so many sacrifices.

"Well, Mr. Ikawa, you're right, you're not called a commander, you've transformed from a mere warrior to a true leader, maybe, I should call you... "

You have

told me that you are a warrior, and in the days I have worked with you, I have seen that you are a warrior of a noble soul who spreads reason and truth, justice and mercy to the world.

"It is the privilege of my life to walk with a great warrior, to dedicate myself to humanity, to my faith, to my civilization.

"But, Mr. Ikawa, please forgive me... Excuse me, my life is only a few years meaningful, and I have no right to judge your huge life in the future, just like humans and ants, you will inevitably stand on a much higher level than me, and my speech may even make you laugh in the future, but I still have to say it.

"I want you to be the one who leads humanity forward, not just as a warrior.

John's brainwaves were unwavering, and everything he said was not a dying gibberish, but full of absolute sincerity and eagerness.

"This time we are facing nothing more than an outer god, in the treacherous hyperspace ocean, we will face more and more terrifying enemies again and again in the future, you once told me that after completing the mission, we will get our own land, right?

"Yes.

Ikawa and John have talked a lot, although they didn't talk about the existence of the system, John also knows "heaven" and "humanity", and knows that one of the reasons for the rapid development of the company's technology is that heaven and humanity can help the company.

"That's good... It's just my personal inner suggestion and thoughts, Mr. Ikawa, what I hope you can build is not just a "company", but an entity with political power, seeking power outside the economy and the military.

"Power, and culture.

The manifestation of John's voice was sonorous.

"Over the years, you've evolved from a purely military development to a cultural and economic focus... This allows the company to thrive, but it's not enough, we need to be stronger.

"I know you don't want to interfere with the polity and politics of other worlds, but look at the corrupt and backward worlds, the depraved and unaware officials... Their actions, their faces, all make me sick.

"Slave trade, massacre, gathering crowds**, terrifying emotions can even attract the attention of the gods, most of the world's high-level are beasts in human skin, if we know the truth of the world, we can still say that this is a necessary process of human civilization, but after the existence of external gods... They are the enemies of civilization.

"They use the fig leaf of civilization to be full of sin and filth... Let all the noble and beautiful be empty talk, let all the ideals of the sacrificed aspirants come to naught, and invite the excommunication of the evil gods.

"So I beg you, Mr. Ikawa, to stop presenting yourself as mild, unintimidating.

"For the sake of civilization, for the sake of humanity, for the sake of hope, form a federation, a nation, or even an empire, and use your noble soul as a spear to pierce those evils... My duty is done, sir, but your duty is far from over.

Even at the end of his life, John had only the future of civilization and organization on his mind.

After a long silence, Yi Chuan replied affirmatively:

"I promise you, after you leave, I will do my best to reform and change the company to other organizational forms, but not in the form of a state, and I don't want my efforts to cultivate a hegemonic organization that spans the world in the future.

"I believe in you, sir. 」
