Star Wars Civilization

The car passed through the busy streets at night, and the light and shadow of the colorful slide lights continued to flow in the car, but Shen Zheng had no intention of looking at the night view of the city outside the car.

The person who wanted to meet him was the deputy commander of the military region, the second most powerful figure after the deputy commander-in-chief, and a powerful insect melter.

Insect Melters are people who have perfectly integrated the power of insects with themselves. They have transcended the crowd and become powerful beings between humans and insects. They no longer need to borrow or control insect power, because they themselves are insects.

As Su Dong, the new first-level instructor of Longxing Academy, told Shen Zheng, in distant ancient times, their earth ancestors called everything in the world insects and divided them into five categories, and humans were the worms among the five categories - -It means both naked scales and feathers, and also means intelligence and wisdom.

Humans are originally insects, so only those who melt insects can be considered real humans? Or, only when you reach that level can you truly be called a member of the "Five Insects" world as the ancients called it? [

What about the people beneath it?

Perhaps in the eyes of real members of the big family of cosmic creatures, they are just tiny bugs.

Unknowingly, the car had left the busy city and arrived in front of the headquarters in the center of the city, which was like a city within the city. The tall steel gates, towering concrete walls, and heavily armed gate guards make it easy to tell what kind of place this is.

Arriving at the door, Ruther got out of the car and talked to the guard. The steel gate was slowly opened, and the car drove inside. After passing through a long forest road, it came to a compound.

The car stopped next to the fountain landscape in the compound. A guard came over to open the door for them and welcomed them to the central building in the compound. The building is six stories high, with a four-story wing building on each side, which seems to have different functions.

Enter through the opposite golden door, go all the way forward, turn around two corridors, and enter a large room. The four walls of the room are decorated with a classical atmosphere, and some ancient paintings are hung on the walls. There is a large round table in the center with a turntable-style rotating tabletop in the center.

"Deputy Commander, Chief Shen Zheng is here."

After entering the house, Lu Jin called into the house. Then, a small door on one side of the house slowly opened, and an old man in his sixties slowly walked out.

Shen Zheng looked at the old man, trying to find out his details, but couldn't figure out anything. He couldn't help but want to use super-sense to observe the old man, but in the end he didn't dare. He didn't know how powerful the Insect Melter was. What if his random actions offended the old man? That's no joke.

The old man has a dignified appearance, and there is a sense of majesty between his brows and eyes. At first glance, he looks like someone who has been in a position of power for a long time. He nodded at Ruth: "You can go next door to eat."

"Okay." Ruth nodded casually, then turned around and walked out, closing the door for the two of them.

Shen Zheng couldn't help but feel a little strange - Luther was very polite and respectful when facing reserve generals like them. He even said hello before going out and then took a few steps back before turning around. Why was he so casual when facing the deputy commander? Woolen cloth?

"Hello, deputy commander!" Shen Zheng did not dare to be casual. He straightened his body and saluted the old man with a standard military salute.

The old man chuckled and pointed at the table: "Sit down."

"Yes." Shen Zheng sat down on one side of the round table, while the old man sat on the other side. At this time, the door slowly opened, and a waiter brought in dishes one after another. There were eight dishes in total, plus a soup, and two bottles of wine.

"Let me introduce myself first." The old man waited for the waiter to leave and said with a smile, "I am the deputy commander of the 12th Military Region. My surname is Lu and my name is Lu Jin."

Your surname is Lu? Shen Zheng had a question mark in his heart. It can't be such a coincidence.

"The boy in charge of your reserve general's residential area is my younger brother." Lu Jin continued.

really! [

"It's not too similar." Shen Zheng looked at Lu Jin, recalled Lu Se's appearance, and shook his head with a smile.

"The nine sons of a dragon are all different." Lu Jin also smiled, "It's impossible to say such a thing. Some people are thousands of miles apart and have no blood relationship, but they look almost exactly the same; some people have twins from the same mother, but they look the same. But we are two different brothers. I look like my dad and he looks like my mom.”

"There is such a thing." Shen Zheng nodded and thought to himself: Darling, no wonder this Ruther always looks calm and calm to everyone. His brother is the deputy commander and an insect melter. He is so powerful. The background is, of course, calm and composed. However, with such an amazing brother, how could he be the head of a waiter like that?

"Here, let's eat." Lu Jin opened the wine, handed a bottle to Shen Zheng, and filled a glass himself. "I have no other hobbies other than eating good food and drinking good wine. When I meet someone I like, I will ask him to share this happiness with me."

"Then I would like to thank the deputy commander for his kindness." Shen Zheng raised his glass and gestured from a distance. Lu Jin smiled and raised his glass, and the two took a sip together.

"I heard that you only have one sister in your family?" Lu Jin asked.

"Yes." Shen Zheng nodded, "When we were young, my parents had a car accident. I had no choice but to drop out of school and work to support the family and support my younger sister in school."

"Heaven is going to entrust this man with a great responsibility, and he must first suffer from hardship on his mind, strain his muscles and bones, and starve his body and skin." Lu Jin nodded slightly.

"The deputy commander seems to appreciate ancient culture very much." Shen Zheng heard the other party read this ancient article, and then saw the ancient paintings hanging on the wall, and already guessed what Lu Jin was interested in.

"That's right." Lu Jin nodded. "I've always longed for the leisure and freedom of my ancient ancestors. It's a pity that it's not easy to find such joy in this world now."

"Each era has its own characteristics," Shen Zheng said. "Perhaps it's just the height of the mountains that let our ancient ancestors know how we live now. Maybe they were yearning for it and beating their chests, wishing they couldn't live to this day."

Lu Jin couldn't help but feel happy: "It's so interesting to talk to you. It's not like those guys who are either trying to steal benefits or pretending to be respectful. Have fun! Come and have a drink."

The two raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Afterwards, the two of them drank and chatted, mostly gossip. After drinking and eating, Lu Jin stood up and motioned for Shen Zheng to follow him. Together, they followed the door through which Lu Jin had just entered and arrived at an antique room. The furniture here is all made of wood and full of classical flavor. There is a large set of tea sets on a tea table, and the aroma of tea floats in the room.

The two sat down at the tea table. Lu Jin made a pot of tea himself and poured it for Shen Zheng. Shen Zheng was not too polite and accepted it calmly.

"Many people don't pay much attention to modulation." Lu Jin finally got to the point. "That's because they don't understand the charm of it, and they don't understand how much benefit it can bring to people."

"To be honest, I thought this technology was quite useless at first." Shen Zheng nodded, "For example, we insect controllers can generally prepare intermediate-grade insect cores. The strongest geniuses use high-quality proto-cores. We have just concocted a high-grade insect core that is effective for insect controllers, so for ordinary insect controllers, the modulation technique is really not of much use.”

"Yes." Lu Jin nodded slowly, "It often takes a day to prepare an insect core, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. And more insect controllers can only prepare intermediate products, and mid-level products Although it is a good thing for insect planters, it is completely useless for insect controllers, because it can no longer increase the insect controller's insect power, but can only slightly enhance the quality of the insect controller's insect power. Many people simply give up studying this technology.”

Shen Zheng smiled: "That's true. It can be said that the modulation technique is a technology that serves the 'lower people' and can only be used to win over the planters. My past mentor told me that the reason why many people continue to study , In fact, it is just to give myself a chance. Maybe one day I will have a leap of enlightenment during the mixing process, and I will become a mixing genius, and then prepare a very strong insect core. "

For example, as an insect controller, he used insect cores that were not of very high quality to prepare high-quality insect cores.

High-quality insect cores are also a good thing for insect melters to increase insect power, especially for insect controllers. The minimum increase of 50 points of insect power is not very impressive for an insect controller who has the ultimate goal of "thousands", but if it can be accumulated continuously, it will become the only way to become stronger quickly.

It is precisely because of the temptation of such huge benefits that several people are willing to continue to delve into this technology that seems to only serve their "subordinates". [

"Yes. But." Lu Jin changed the subject, "Who said modulation techniques can only serve lower-level people? Even if it can only serve lower-level people, doesn't it make sense?"

"What do you mean?" Shen Zheng asked.

"Humans are social animals." Lu Jin said, "No one is born without all his relatives. Even if there is such a person, he at least has friends. No matter how strong he becomes, he will never let go of caring for his relatives and friends. It’s human nature. After you become strong, will you worry about your other family members and friends? At this time, if you can use insect cores to help them become strong, will you do it?

"I understand." Shen Zheng thought of Shen Ying. Yes, even if he fails to become such a modulation genius, he will not give up the modulation technique, because maybe one day, Shen Ying will rely on this to become an insect controller.

"Also, brewing itself is also a kind of practice." Lu Jin said, "Concentrated brewing requires concentration of all one's energy. It is just like fighting a battle with a master, and it will make people understand a lot. In fact, progress has been made without realizing it. Moreover, although the prepared insect core cannot increase the insect power, is the improvement in quality necessarily weaker than the increase in quantity? Why do we have to increase the quantity first and then wait for the insect power to be reached? When the limit is no longer improved, should we consider improving the quality? ”

"I understand." Shen Zheng nodded again.

Lu Jin looked at Shen Zheng and smiled: "Talk to smart people to save worry and effort."
