Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

It seemed as if he was shocked by the speech of this 'Congressman Bolken', or was refuted and speechless.

There was a moment of silence in the entire empty underground space.

In the silence, there was only the sound of some strange liquid flowing,

And in the cables, I don't know whether it is electric current or something else, but there is a brief howling from time to time.

"Your opinion has merit,"

That old electronic sound, after a moment of stalemate, broke the silence again,

"But you should understand that we are a democratic parliament and everything needs to be fully discussed,

Only by voting in a majority-subordinate manner can a common opinion be formed. "

Before the anger of Borken could be fully brewed and exploded, the old electronic voice continued,

"It is true that from a common sense point of view, we all know that there are many things in your ideas that are correct,"

"For example, the technological level of that group of unknown outsiders far exceeds that of the countries in the star field today, and there is an unbridgeable gap between them and the latter.

From this point of view, the possibility of a connection between them is very small.

If according to your idea, it does have practical significance to separate the two and treat them separately..."

“However, no matter how small, other possibilities still exist,

You can't convince all of us and make everyone agree with your opinion just by relying on one word or just a conjecture on possibility:"

The old voice said slowly,

"If there is no connection between them,

Our descendants who have lost almost all their former glory have nothing to do with the unknown outsider;

So, why did the latter take the initiative to protect the former in that battle that day?

Why would they use the ultimate weapon like the 'virtual particle torrent' just to ensure the safety of the descendants' fleet?

You and I both know very well that there is no way you can get around this doubt. "

The words fell.

In the empty underground space, it seemed as if some seal had been lifted.

Countless voices with obviously different voice lines, but all mixed with electric current, sounded one after another.

It was like whispering to each other.

Comment on the debate between the two and put forward your own opinions.

However...

If you consider that there is obviously no living thing in this underground space,

There was only one huge display screen that shimmered slightly and displayed countless strange images.

And the intricate network of cable pipes covering the ground.

This scene undoubtedly seemed a bit terrifying.

It's like there are countless invisible and formless souls gathering in a dead tomb.

...In fact, from a certain perspective, this is indeed the case.

"..."

The old voice asked questions calmly and impartially,

As a result, 'Congressman Bolken', who was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the performance of his colleagues, had to suppress his emotions.

Try to become calm and express a rational attitude of 'discussing things as they are',

"Your Excellency Speaker, first of all, I can apologize for my gaffe just now,"

"However, in response to your point of view, I think this question is also very easy to answer:"

"Outsiders have plans for the biggest secret we guard.

Isn't this obvious? "

"Otherwise, why didn't they come earlier and later, and then they came just when a descendant group happened to accidentally obtain a sample of the 'Cosmic Crystal'?"

"Is it any wonder that outsiders who have designs on the 'Cosmic Crystal' robbed the descendant fleet carrying the 'Cosmic Crystal'?"

"You call their behavior robbery instead of protection. I can only express less than half agreement with this point.

You should be very clear that the boundaries between good intentions and bad intentions, active and passive, intentional and unintentional are very clear:

If they didn't have any goodwill toward the descendants, why did they take away the other descendant battleships as well?

Borken, you should understand that the Descendants' fleet is obviously as useless to us as it is to them.

Outsiders can obviously hijack only one ship, or even just take away the encrypted sample library.

If you only come here for the 'Cosmic Crystal', you can just leave after taking away the encrypted sample library.

Judging from the situation at that time, if they had done something to block our servant fleet by using those descendant fleets as obstacles and abandoning them,

No matter how quickly the servants wipe out the descendants, outsiders can be quickly and safely evacuated.

But they didn't, they didn't do that.

On the contrary, it showed an attitude that it would not hesitate to annihilate our 'servant' fleet.

Even for this purpose, a torrent of virtual particles is additionally used. "

"This point is completely unexplainable based on your previous logic."

The old voice, or 'Your Majesty the Speaker', announced unhurriedly.

But it is methodical, and every sentence hits the point exactly.

'Bolken' was speechless for a moment, as if he was speechless.

"...Maybe,"

"Perhaps they are just greedy and spend every penny they have...

No matter how primitive the technological level is, it is still a pile of millions of tons of alloy materials. In theory, it has a certain value..."

Senator Borken's voice has dropped an octave lower than at the beginning.

But he still hasn't given up, and is still making some futile guesses with little credibility, trying to win over other people's opinions.

"Or, uh... maybe they are indeed a civilization that is relatively egalitarian, pro-foreign, and has a complete moral system?"

He said tentatively,

"For this reason, they didn't clear all non-friendly targets on the battlefield in one go, regardless of friend or foe?"

"Considering that they never actively attacked the descendants' fleet in the entire process from their appearance to their disappearance, I think this conjecture is also possible..."

As he talked, he couldn't talk any more.

The entire underground space returned to a dead silence.

The sound of liquid flowing from nowhere was still echoing gently.

Like a huge deep well, water waves are slowly rippling.

However, unlike the last time, the atmosphere this time was obviously more awkward.

"...a certain possibility? Well, Congressman Bolken, can you clearly indicate how much this 'certain' can be?"

A voice different from the first two people sounded, finally breaking the silence.

Borken didn't reply, seemingly too embarrassed to reply.

If he still had an actual physical body in the biological sense, he would probably have to silently shake his head to express his objection.

"In other words, it is only statistically significant?"

"...The first guess is more likely. The second guess..."

Everyone was silent.

Including Borken, the Speaker of the Grand Council, and the third party, all 360 members of the Grand Council of the Confederation of Stars obviously did not want to discuss this topic in depth.

They all know that in the cold and dangerous universe, if they want to encounter a super civilization that has mastered T8-level particle physics shipboard weapon technology, but is still full of goodwill towards the outside world, then there is a chance. How low.

The second possibility is a complete joke.

Even if we go by the first possibility and speculate that they are all greedy traders who spend every penny, this may not be impossible.

After all, this kind of greedy civilization without any bottom line is actually very common in the universe.

Heart to heart.

As a 'quasi-super civilization' that has stepped into the eternal empire, even if it only has one foot in the door.

The rulers of the Federation of Stars are not able to agree with such... naive conjecture.

Out of their fixed mindset, in their eyes,

In order to prove that "the unknown outsiders have no connection with the descendants of Haijin," the two speculations put forward by Borken appear to be very weak and far-fetched.

...therefore.

They have no way of knowing.

I accidentally excluded the correct answer by mistake.

"Okay, let's stop discussing your meaningless conjectures.

Why sacrifice the near and the far when there are goals that are easier to achieve? "

The speaker with a very old voice finally sighed and announced,

"As the Speaker of the Great Council, I initiated a proposal to form a special dispatch fleet of servants to investigate the identity of unknown outsiders.

At the same time, we will use all means that do not rule out local wars, put pressure on the descendant countries, and explore the relationship between the two sides...Okay, everyone, please vote. "

"Agree."

"Agree!"

"I agree too."

"..."

It was as if he was waiting for this proposal.

Among the 360 ​​members of the Grand Council, in the end, less than ten votes were against and seventeen abstentions were made.

The rest are all yes votes.

This gesture, like a show of hands, left Borken speechless for a moment.

His thoughts were empty for a moment, as if he was taking a deep breath.

"I didn't want to ruin the mood at this time, but..."

"You will regret it."
