The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 499 Fable
"There are still 5 minutes until the light particles are ready."

A message hinted that it appeared in the communication network of the ruling class of the three races.

The young empress of the Shi'ar Empire stood with her councilors, and the only sound left in the huge ship bridge was their slight breathing.

All the Xi'ar people are looking out of the porthole, looking at the direction of the earth - they can't see anything at all, the long distance of hundreds of light years makes the earth become an insignificant speck of dust in their field of vision.

The young Empress Shia took a deep breath, the supreme ruler who ruled over billions of Shia citizens looked back and looked at the projections of those same silent councilors.

The Shi'ar Empire is an aggressive civilization that always forcibly absorbs other civilizations it encounters into the empire, which makes there are various races in the empire.

Members of parliament from different races have hundreds of class backgrounds, and each of them is burdened with intricate chains of interests.It is through these parliamentarians that the trillions of people in the empire can interact with the huge empire.

"I don't care about all of you."

Empress Shia looked at the congressmen indifferently, and the firm will revealed in her eyes made people wonder whether the cowardice shown by the empress was true or not.

"I don't care whether you are corrupt and bribery, or honest and pragmatic; whether you are depraved and evil, or noble and kind;

I don't care if you use cruel and violent methods to rule the planet under your jurisdiction, and use the entire planet as an arena, a transfer station for slave trade, and the largest kiln in the galaxy.
Or use greedy and unscrupulous methods to squeeze the labor force of all the residents on the surface of the planet as much as possible, making them work hard for a house the size of a matchbox for a lifetime.

None of you matter to me.

The huge territory and rich resources of the empire determine that the output of the empire is far greater than the amount you can corrupt. A small number of moths can't damage the stability of the empire's rule. This is like the normal metabolism of multicellular organisms. Same.

As long as you can pay taxes on time, the tacit understanding between the empire and the parliamentary class will not be interrupted.Our alliance remains unbreakable."

Empress Xi'a's eyes swept across the councilors with different expressions. She took a deep breath and said calmly and indifferently: "However, the interests of the Xi'a Empire, your interests, and my interests must all be based on On the basis that the Shia Empire can still exist.

I know that some of you may be wondering why such a huge force like the Three Great Empires would recklessly worship an invisible and intangible god?

Even those lucky enough to actually join the Supreme Council question this question in their hearts. "

The members of the Xi'a councilors did not speak. Most of them hoped to stay in the star area they ruled, while accepting the protection and convenience brought by the huge empire, while enjoying the offering of a living planet.

In ancient times, Zeus and Odin possessed supernatural powers, which were insurmountable and incomprehensible to mortals on earth, so they were called "Gods".
But in fact, Zeus is just a nasty middle-aged uncle who is dominated by his lower body, and Odin is just a bad old man who is deeply involved in the tragedy of family ethics.
Aside from extraordinary power, the will, talent, morality, and knowledge of "gods" may not even be comparable to the best in the human race.

Such an extraordinary person is naturally not worthy of the title of "God".

The more developed a civilization's science and technology, and the deeper its understanding of the world, the less room there will be for those cultural elements that contain elements of superstition and ignorance.

Religious belief is a false proposition for the vast majority of civilizations in the galaxy, let alone such a huge force as the three empires.

"The reason is very simple, because our god, the one who devours the stars, needs us."

Empress Shia spoke the name of the god rather "disrespectfully" directly, her face was expressionless, as if she was stating an established fact, "Like those common beliefs, God's will cannot be guessed, and God's thoughts are unknown , but Tunxing is a little different from other religious gods-he has enough patience and action.

He supported the three empires to the top, and he can also drag the three empires down from the altar,
He doesn't need to explain anything to us, and he doesn't need to pay for our incompetence,
We are his servants, his pawns, and his tools. "

Queen Shia chuckled softly: "If a tool cannot fulfill its mission, it does not deserve to exist. My dear MPs, I don't care about your past and future,
All I ask is that you, here and now, serve your own good with allegiance.

Many of you will die in the next period of time, but sacrifices are necessary.

Only in this way can our interest class continue to exist, and your children and your family can continue for generations to come.

Got it?Dirty pigs. "

At the same time, on the starship of the Skrull civilization, the first war lord of Skrull was also speaking to the members of the war lord committee.

The Skrull Empire is similar to the Cree Empire, both of which use extreme tactics to rule a warlord in a star area, which is equivalent to a prince.

And the strongest among them can become the first seat in the Skrull War Lords Council.

"Don't look at me as a member of the Supreme Council of the Three Great Empires, but I don't care what kind of green onion Tunxing is—compared to Tunxing, this old man thinks of me that way!"

The green-skinned war lord, wearing golden armor, stepped on the throne made of iron swords, with a violent expression and a sneering smile, "Why are you so surprised? Are you puzzled that I dare to say that, my lord?
Believe it or not, even if I stand here to greet Tun Xing's old mother, he will not send down divine punishment to annihilate me?
Do not believe?All right,
Tun Xing, I believe you are a fairy, your mother sells rice, your father sells rice, mother-in-law and grandpa sell suet, and eight old men shovel Nima,
Poke your pockets in the room, you are a god who is as big as an evil egg, and you will be exposed to your mother's muscle."

In the next 3 minutes, the green-skinned war lord, under the terrified eyes of his subordinates, used various dialects of the Skrull Empire to curse Xingxing all over the place.
Even some of the words in it were too dirty and obscene, and some war lords who were keen on burning, killing and looting found it unpleasant, and couldn't help standing back,

After finishing the swearing, the chief war lord put his foot down from the Iron Throne. He restrained his smile and said to the war lords below with no expression on his face, "What do you think of my scolding?"

"Tall, hard, Boss, you are tall and hard."

"Good wow, wonderful wow, boss, you are really amazing."

"I've never seen anyone so good at swearing!"

The words of praise from the Skrull war lords came one after another, but the face of the chief war lord was not happy,
"idiot."

One of the supreme rulers of the galaxy, he rejected the flattery of his subordinates with great indifference,

"You bloody, bloody idiots."

The people below looked at each other, at a loss.

"I stood on the starship bridge and used the dirtiest blasphemous words I could think of in my life to blaspheme this creature with self-will, but he remained indifferent. What does that mean?"

The chief war lord said sarcastically: "Explain, in his eyes, I am not as good as an ant. Do you care about a single-celled creature offending you? Do you blame a certain E. coli in your stomach for diarrhea?

will not.

Our star-swallowing god needs us, but he never cares about our life or death, he only wants results.

Listen, I don't know the idea of ​​swallowing stars, but I read a book in the Supreme Council,
In the last generation, when Skrull's ancestors were still a bunch of multicellular organisms, there were tens of millions of civilizations in the Milky Way.

Those races appeared in every corner of the galaxy at almost the same time, and they developed their civilizations at different speeds.
But a civilization that develops too fast will encounter various setbacks, such as unreasonable civil wars, racial vendettas,

A civilization that develops too slowly will receive all kinds of good luck. A certain scientist can comprehend new laws of the universe when he sits under a tree and is hit by a fruit. An inventor can have thousands of vital inventions in his lifetime!

In this way, tens of millions of civilizations in the Milky Way rushed out of their star system almost at the same time, and stepped into the vast and boundless Milky Way. "

Having said that, the chief war lord paused for a moment, while the war lords below who had never heard this story showed more or less curious expressions.

"What happened next?"

The chief war lord curled his lips and said flatly: "It's very simple. When these civilizations encounter each other, they are first surprised and shocked, and thankful that they are not alone. Then they will try to communicate on an equal footing, exchange technology, and establish diplomatic relations.

In the beginning, it was like this.

But as time goes by, the relative scarcity of resources makes the contradictions between civilizations always accumulate and deepen, and wars break out.

If some civilizations are much more developed than others, that's okay, but all civilizations are developed at a similar level, and the interstellar war between them seems extremely long and cruel.

War, cruel war without end,

Depravity, nobility, cruelty, conscience, everything is reduced to insignificant adjectives in war,

The steel ships made of people and metal are all ground into fine powder in the millstone in the center of the galaxy.

All civilizations have shed their last drop of blood in wars, and whenever these overwhelmed civilizations try to stop, there is a power above all that blinds the minds of the rulers of civilizations and makes them continue the war. "

When the chief war lord talked about "war", he should be full of joy and excitement, but the Skrull generals below could feel the deep despair from the leader's words.

"The war of ten thousand races that spanned everything finally produced the only survivor after ten thousand years,
The strongest and most ruthless civilization that survived raising Gu was just about to take a breath and welcome the hopeful dawn when misfortune befell it.

All individual lives in this civilization began to kill each other irrationally. Soldiers commanded starships to bomb each other, and civilians picked up guns and took to the streets to chop. After a hundred days, this civilization ended, and the galaxy fell into dead silence again. "

The voice of Skrull's chief war lord sounded like a ballad from far away, and he said softly: "This is recorded in Chapter 1 of "Sacred Books Genesis",
The god was wandering in the dead galaxy, he looked around and said: I'm tired of playing, let's start another game. "

The face of the chief war lord was a little scary under the dark starlight, ".So, the galaxy fell into another reincarnation, and the hegemony of Skrull, Kree, and Shiar will be established."

Inside the flagship of the Kree Empire, the Supreme Intelligence is lying in a giant glass jar filled with nutrient solution.

The Supreme Intelligence is a man-made creation that combines the brains of all the sages of the Cree Empire. He looks like a bloated and fat light green head,

The chin is swollen, the corners of the mouth are grinning, the apple machine is drooping like a pug, the pale yellow eyes are narrowed into a slit, and behind the thick forehead lines are hair like tentacles.

This ugly head is the supreme ruler of the Cree Empire.

When the Empress of the Shi'ar Empire used benefits to induce members of parliament, and the Skrull warlord used the Bible to intimidate his colleagues, the Supreme Wisdom remained silent.

In front of him was the floor-to-ceiling porthole of Kerry's flagship.

Hundreds of scientific researchers of the Cree Empire walked around under the glass jars, monitoring the state of life of the high intelligence, and adjusting the ratio of the nutrient solution—compared to those accusers who were placed on the table, the supreme Wisdom is the foundation of the Cree Empire.

"What are you thinking?"

A huge body hidden in the shadows suddenly appeared in front of the glass jar of supreme intelligence. What is puzzling is that the scientific researchers of the Kree Empire seemed to have not seen the intruder.

The voice of the intruder was the chairman of the Supreme Council.

"...I'm thinking about a lot of things."

Thus spoke the Supreme Wisdom, without opening or closing his lips, but speaking directly to the Chairman with spiritual force.

"In the last few minutes I have seen many sights on Earth.

I saw myself born in a small village with a loving mother and many brothers and sisters.

Our life was poor and peaceful. Although the house we lived in was a little smaller, we could barely squeeze together.

As time passed, I always wanted to get out of this remote prison and see the wide world outside, and my brothers and sisters laughed at me for being overwhelmed.

To live, to eat and sleep, to eat and sleep, to find a wife, to have a baby, this is our destiny.

I can not be reconciled.

I work hard to train myself and develop myself, trying to get out of the cage one day and see the sights I have never seen.

But bad luck struck.

One morning, when I was taking a nap in my room, I heard my sister's screams. A strange 'thing' descended from the sky and entered my sister's room directly, trying to grab her naked from the room. Walk.

My brothers trembling and bewildered,
And I bravely rushed forward, using my limbs, using my teeth, to fight that 'thing'.

I succeeded and I failed, the thing let go of my sister, it grabbed me.

I was taken to the sky, blindfolded, my feet bound, and stuffed into a perfectly round bag.

It was dark all around, and the bumps kept going.

For three days and three nights, I didn't drink a drop of water or eat a grain of rice. When I saw the light again, I found myself lying on a big bluestone.

A ray of silvery light strikes at me, very fast, very fast,

The last image I saw was my own headless body. "

Stories told by the Supreme Intelligence, inexplicable and illogical,

The figure standing in front of him thought for a long time, and said with some confusion: "...you brought into the sight of a certain earthling, and experienced the process of being captured and dissected by an alien civilization?"

"Do not."

Supreme Wisdom paused, "The 'I' in the story is a chicken."

"What?" The figure was stunned.

"Chickens are born, raised, and fattened in chicken coops, and then put into sacks during the Spring Festival travel season and traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers to be slaughtered."

The Supreme Wisdom said calmly: "This is the story of an ordinary earth chicken.

To be born and then to die is the mission of the chicken, but the chicken doesn't know it yet. "

The human image understood something, he hesitated, and looked at the supreme wisdom in front of him.

"The chicken will go to the field to help the owner catch worms, but in the eyes of the owner, this is just what the chicken should do,

I was thinking, if we have fulfilled our mission, will our Creator drag us out of the chicken coop and press us on the bluestone slab for slaughter? "

Unable to answer the Supreme Intelligence's questions, the figure disappeared, leaving only the Supreme Intelligence and the still ignorant Kree researchers.

"Oh, chicken."

The Supreme Wisdom sneered, and the corners of the downturned mouth seemed to rise slightly.

The leaders of the three empires each completed their own thinking.

Finally, the 5-minute time limit required for the preparation of the light particles has arrived.

"God's will must be fulfilled."

The deep and deep voice from the chairman of the Supreme Council echoed in the communication network of the leaders of the three tribes, bringing this short call to an end.

Subsequently, the leaders of the Shia Empire, the Skrull Empire, and the Cree Empire directly shut down the communication network from the physical level, and shut down the communication equipment of all their spaceships.

Just like that, the projections of the councilors on the flagship of the Shi'ar Empire disappeared, and the councilors of each race will control their respective ships.

So did the warlords of the Skrulls, the accusers of the Kree Empire.

From this moment on, tens of thousands of starships of the three major empires have fallen into an environment of absolute silence. Each starship will follow the predetermined procedures of the ship spirit, as well as the manipulation of councilors, war lords, and accusers, accurately and stably Start planning.

This is mainly to prevent the other party from directly invading the internal network of the starship, infecting and looting the command right of the starship like a virus.

Then the silence fell, and the deep and dark Orion's arms had completely opened his door, waiting for the next guest's visit in silence.

Grand actions always begin in silence.

The decoration styles of the starships of the three empires of Skrull, Kree, and Shiar are different. The Skrull ships are thick and simple, the Kree ships are harsh and cold, and the Shia ships are light and gorgeous.
The three ships are mixed together, but there is a faint sense of hierarchy.

The mighty fleets of the three empires swept graceful arcs under the starry sky.

Compared with the coalition of civilizations who came to this star field last time, although the fleet this time is small, it is far superior in other aspects.
After all, these elite starships are the direct support for the three empires to dominate the galaxy. I don’t know how many hostile forces have been eliminated and how many internal struggles have been suppressed. They have been tested by war and are first-class strategic killers.

If it is placed elsewhere, a single starship can be regarded as the last resort of middle and high-level civilizations, but here, these ships can only perform more mundane and less interesting tasks.

They, began to fly around the solar system,
It may not be appropriate to use a single word "flight". These spacecraft first turn on the conventional engine to accelerate, and after a long and tedious voyage, turn on the curvature engine and enter the curvature channel
The space changes in front, back, left, and right of these spaceships, the space in front of the spaceship is rapidly folded, while the space behind the spaceship is stretched rapidly,
This caused a "bubble"-shaped void of space to appear around each spaceship, pushing the spaceship forward at high speed.

Curvature navigation requires a lot of energy, and each starship ship is equipped with a vacuum zero-point energy harvester, which extracts a huge amount of energy from the vacuum tidal energy ocean.

A single curvature route will drag out a channel visible to the naked eye in the space-the essence of this channel is the folds left after the space is folded,
When light passes through these folds, the speed of light itself slows down.

The reduction ratio is not too large. From the outside, it looks like there is a layer of glass separated by a slight deflection and speed reduction.

And, most of the time, the folds themselves are nothing.

Space has its own self-healing ability, and it can slowly and firmly correct the traces left by the curvature of the flight - just like the wake cloud (commonly known as the jet line) left by the jet plane will eventually spread into the atmosphere.

However, when the traces left by the curvature navigation are not one or two, but thousands, tens of thousands, and connected in a row, the self-healing ability of the conventional space will gradually fail.

If you look down from a high place, tens of thousands of starships of various types from the three empires line up together to form a densely combed "comb".
This comb slowly passed over the solar system, centered on the solar system, circled a large circle, and then returned to the original point.

In this way, in the high-altitude field of vision, the curvature trail clouds dragged by thousands of starships form a translucent ring—the essence of the ring is a space fold.

A layer of space folds can slightly reduce the speed of light, and the speed reduction is about 0.001%.

Then, what about the thousand-layer, ten-thousand-layer space folds?

A comb composed of tens of millions of starships of various types circled the solar system over and over again, wrapping this star area with curvature flight trail clouds.

Soon, the thickness of the space fold reached a critical value, and the solar system wrapped in the space fold was like a Christmas glass ball, and every snowflake inside was falling at an extremely slow speed.

The light in the solar system is slowing down.

According to the plan of the three empires, the speed of light in the solar system will stay at 16.7km/s, which is one eighteen thousandth of the speed of light in a vacuum, and this speed is below the third cosmic speed.

This also means that all the light in the solar system will not be able to escape the gravitational force of the sun itself,
Light cannot escape, and the speed of light is the upper limit of the speed of all objects,
That is to say, nothing in the solar system can escape the gravity of the sun itself.

Once the black domain is formed, human aircraft will be trapped in the solar system forever.

This is the strategic weapon of the three empires: the low-light-speed black hole wrapped by the curvature course, the black domain.

The Empress Shia, the War Lord of Skrull, and the Supreme Wisdom of the Cree Empire stayed silently on their respective flagships, watching the slow formation of the Black Territory,

The black domain cage needs time to build, and in this process, the earth is bound to make a strategic counterattack.

If the black domain is a cage to imprison the civilization of the earth, and a "shield" that symbolizes absolute defense,
Then, the light particle attack that the three empires are preparing to continue will be an indestructible "spear" that counteracts the earth's counterattack.
