Humans collapse into slag

After a three-hour flight, the Liao family's private spaceship Fengfan entered the atmosphere of Diji and headed for the spaceship docking station in Weixing City, the imperial capital of the empire.

Diji’s airspace control is stricter than Tianque’s. Private starships must be parked at public stops, and passengers can only transfer to small near-Earth spacecraft or flying cars to reach their destinations.

When the spaceship landed, it was early morning in Weixing City, and the docking station located in the outskirts of the imperial city was brightly lit, as bright as day.

As soon as he stepped off the spaceship, Lin Qi shivered, "Oh, it's so cold!"

Liao Yuning: "You wear too little. It's deep winter here, and the temperature is about [-] degrees lower than Aurora." He often travels between Tianque and Diji, and he is very familiar with the climate differences between the two places.

"You don't have much to wear." Lin Qi muttered.

That's right, Liao Yuning is also wearing a thin autumn dress at the moment, but he looks calm and shows no sign of shrinking.

Liao Yuning smiled: "The physical fitness is different, classmate." The students of the Department of Intelligent Medicine are definitely not as good as the students of the Department of Ships and Fighters in terms of physical fitness.

Lin Qi: "You can't be stubborn, are you?"

Liao Yuning didn't take it seriously: "Believe it or not is up to you."

Fortunately, the flying car sent by the Liao family was already waiting not far away. Liao Yuning asked Lin Qi to get on the car first, and stayed behind to pick up the luggage.

Lin Qi felt that he was about to freeze to death, so he didn't greet Liao Yuning politely.

After sitting in the back seat of the car, Lin Qi looked out through the car window, and Liao Yuning was assisting the speeding driver to carry the luggage.

The luggage was loaded into the trunk of the flying car, but Liao Yuning didn't get on the car immediately. He stopped for a few seconds, and then walked to another flying car in the distance.

There were numerous snowflakes floating in the sky, Lin Qi didn't see clearly what happened over there.

A few minutes later, Liao Yuning came back and explained after getting in the car, "Sorry, I just met an acquaintance and went over to say hello."

Lin Qi snorted, and didn't ask who he was acquainted with. The two of them didn't meet much outside of school. Since the other party didn't say it clearly, it was obviously someone he didn't know.

Ten minutes later, the speeding car arrived at the center of the imperial city, where the Liao family owned a mansion in a high-end residential area.

Weixing city time is two o'clock in the morning.

Since Diana, the housekeeper of the Liao family, had arrived first, Liao Yuning and Lin Qi were warmly welcomed as soon as they got out of the car. Of course, there was a sumptuous dinner waiting for them. In Aurora's time, it was indeed a dinner That's right.

"It will be dawn in less than four hours. I suggest you hurry up and take a rest." Liao Yuning said to Lin Qi: "If you can't sleep, you can use the dormant cabin."

For people on short interstellar journeys, gravity changes and jet lag are problems that must be faced.

Lin Qi is a student of the Imperial Military Academy anyway, so he must have no problem adapting to gravity. As for adjusting the time difference, he needs to go through the dormant cabin.

Lin Qi nodded, "I think so too."

The elder Lin Qi is going to visit doesn't live in Weixing City, and he plans to take a public speed bus there after dawn, so he really needs to keep his spirits up now.

After the meal, Lin Qi went to the guest room, and Liao Yuning went to the study, where Malovet was waiting for him.

When knocking on the door, Liao Yuning was a little uncomfortable.

After the actual combat assessment, he didn't mention Mu Rong's entanglement with his teacher to his teacher, but then those scandals became known to the whole school, and Malovet must have known about them.

Liao Yuning is a bit of an ostrich mentality. He doesn't know Malovet's views on this matter, and subconsciously he doesn't really want to know.

"Young Master." Seeing Liao Yuning enter the door, Malovet stood up and greeted him with no abnormal attitude.

Liao Yuning returned the salute, "Good evening, teacher."

After the two sat down, Malovet discussed recent political events with his students, and then turned the topic to the War Memorial Day event that will be held in a few days.

It has been 2660 years since the war that ended in 33 of the imperial calendar. Of course, the war anniversary is once a year, but the commemorative activities have become more and more grand in recent years.

These activities have evolved from a simple form to a massive one, the biggest reason of which is the promotion of Emperor Yuanchang.

"It can be said that the 20 years during the war were the most difficult but also the most united 20 years of the empire." Malovet analyzed: "The emperor began to miss the glorious past, which may be a sign of aging, or it may be another reason. There is a purpose. Although the Zerg army that invaded the empire was wiped out, their home planet is still in an unknown place. It is only a matter of time before they make a comeback. As the saying goes, external enemies can improve internal cohesion, and this is probably what your Majesty fought Make up your mind."

Liao Yuning: "Your Majesty is paving the way for the next military and political reform?"

Malovet nodded: "Not bad."

Before Emperor Yuanchang ascended the throne, the centralization of the Silver Ash Empire had already declined. Except for the Celestial King Starfield, all starfields had considerable autonomy, especially the three marginal starfields of Tiantan, Tianqin, and Yindun. .

Emperor Yuanchang was an ambitious and cunning emperor. At the beginning of his administration, he tried to reform the old system of self-government in the star field, but before he could make any major moves, the Zerg War broke out.

In 2640 of the Imperial Calendar, more than a dozen wormholes of various sizes appeared in the spiral magnetic field near the Righeim Nebula, and some extremely powerful alien creatures came from another distant starry sky.

At first, humans tried to communicate with each other, but after several trials, the alien creatures revealed their cruel nature and began to massacre humans, or it is more appropriate to call it predation.

At the beginning of the war, due to the underestimation of the threat of the Zerg, the seven star fields were not in the same place, causing the empire to retreat steadily, losing a large number of livable planets, and the humans on the lost land became the food of the Zerg.

Faced with this kind of creature that is completely unable to communicate and coexist with human beings, the major star fields have to join hands to fight against the enemy.

After 20 years of hard fighting, or thanks to the self-collapse of those wormholes, the Silver Ash Empire finally wiped out all the Zerg remnants in its territory.

After the war, the empire was devastated and a thousand things were waiting to be rebuilt. Emperor Yuan Chang temporarily shelved the plan of military and political reform, and devoted himself to developing the economy and restoring national strength.

The Silver Ash Empire is the most powerful regime in known human civilization, but there are still other political forces outside the empire's borders. In addition, the Zerg home planet is only temporarily isolated by the distant space, and the crisis may reappear at any time, so Emperor Yuan Chang had to put recuperation first.

More than 30 years after the war, the emperor's own prestige reached its peak, and his control over the entire empire became stronger. Therefore, the restart of military and political reforms was also put on the agenda.

"Your Majesty's goal is to strengthen the centralization of military and political power, while diluting the influence of imperial power." Malovet commented: "In other words, it is to use the strength of the dictatorship to promote the democratic process of the empire. This top-down It is really exciting to see whether the reform can be successful.”

After discussing major political issues, Liao Yuning took the initiative to mention one thing.

"Teacher, today I met Wei Yingnan at the docking station of the spaceship, and he invited me to the party the night after tomorrow."

"Wade's son?"

"Yes."

Ma Luowei nodded, "Wade has been promoted to the head of the logistics equipment department, and his in-laws, the Feng family, are also in the limelight. Young master can try to make friends."

The head of the Feng family, Feng Qin, married Princess Fan Yao, and their second son, Feng Lan, was one of the most popular candidates for the crown prince.

Princess Fan Yao is the daughter of the first emperor. After the death of the first emperor, the false emperor conspired to usurp the throne. Even though she was less than ten years old at that time, she still could not escape the fate of being a prisoner.

Later, Fan Lang led the imperial guards into the imperial city, brought order out of chaos, wiped out the remnants of the false emperor, and restored Fan Yao's status as a princess.

Of course, Fan Lang had no intention of handing over the throne. At that time, the surviving heirs of the late emperor were both small and big, so Fan Lang sat in that position unceremoniously.

After several coups and bloodbaths, the aristocratic families of the imperial capital galaxy were seriously injured, and Fan Lang had the support of the army, so no one dared to raise objections.

However, considering that Emperor Yuanchang had no heirs, it is estimated that the emperor's scepter will return to the hands of the descendants of the former emperor.

According to the imperial tradition and the royal succession law revised by Emperor Yuan Chang, the princess's heirs also have the right to inherit the throne. Therefore, Feng Lan is currently ranked second in the line of succession and is a very competitive candidate for the crown prince.

Malovet's reminder did not surprise Liao Yuning, he sighed silently in his heart, nodded and said, "I understand."

He doesn't like to deal with those occasions of feasting and pleasure, but he also knows that it is something he must cater to and adapt to.

When the matter was settled, Liao Yuning was about to get up and leave.

Malovet suddenly said: "I heard that the young master of the Mu family, Mu Rong, was pursuing the young master some time ago?"

finally come.

Liao Yuning subconsciously wanted to deny it, but finally admitted honestly: "Yes, he said he wanted to pursue me, but those words can't be counted."

Reaching out and touching his temple, Liao Yuning said: "After the plane crash, Mu Rong suffered brain damage, and after waking up, his temperament changed drastically. Many things he did were different from the past. Although I don't know why the Mu family didn't force him to send him away. It should go to treatment, but this behavior should only be temporary, and I didn't take it to heart."

Malovet raised his eyebrows and asked, "The young master really thinks so?"

Liao Yuning said righteously: "Of course, I can't be affected by another person's hysteria."

"Understood." Malovet said: "Then please be sure to handle this relationship properly, young master."

Liao Yuning said yes to his teacher, but in his heart he used a laser-focused gun to blast that annoying guy surnamed Mu into scum.

Young Master Mu, who didn't know that he had been blasted into scum in Liao Yuning's heart, had just arrived in Weixing City at this moment.

On the flying car from the spaceship docking station to the commander's mansion of the Imperial Capital Galaxy Guard, Lauren was shocked to find that his young master was trying to hack into Weixing City's traffic monitoring system.

After observing the surroundings and confirming that the isolation screen in the car was working properly, Lauren asked, "Master, what are you doing?"

It's against the law!

Hacking into the academy's star network is just a violation of the rules, and at most they will be punished by the school's regulations, but if they are so reckless outside, once they are exposed, the consequences will be very serious.

"Oh, I also know that this is not good." Upon hearing this, Young Master Mu immediately launched a self-criticism, "To be more serious, this is disrespect for Ning Ning, but I am really worried about him, because Diji is full of honey and swords. There are a lot of villains, especially Feinan and his like."

Lauren didn't know what to say anymore, so let's follow him, and still make such a high-sounding excuse?

As the capital of the empire, it goes without saying that Diji is safe and secure. If Diji ranked second, no planet in the entire empire would dare to rank first.

As for posturing and hypocrisy among the upper class, that's not a big problem. After all, everyone wants face. Under the eyes of the emperor, no one dares to go too far.

However, Young Master Mu was deeply worried: "Ning Ning has a simple temperament, I'm really afraid that he will suffer."

Lauren: Simple-minded?It seems that the young master is not talking about the Liao Yuning I know...
