People's Federation will live forever

"It doesn't matter! I...can't let you face all this alone."

Pain is just an illusion of the weak, and she can't show it. She stood in front of Aenea not only for a duty, but more importantly - she "watched" the sun that was gradually "rising" in the distant sky. The pale, cold sunlight shone unreservedly on this world, and Kristina, bathed in its radiance, felt that every pore in her body was ignited.As the sun approached, she almost let out a scream before being steamed by the scorching sun!

How could Aenea handle such a monster alone?

"Kriska—"

Responding outside the laboratory, many technicians who watched the experiment were already busy like ants on a hot pot-the brain wave recorder drew sharp lines with ups and downs on the paper, and the cabinet-type large computer issued an alarm. The vital signs of Experiment No. [-] dropped sharply!

"The body temperature of the experimental subject Kriska has risen to 42°C, and the electrical nerve signals in the brain have begun to become disordered."

The aged scientist stared at the data, his beard trembling in astonishment, his anxious tone made his voice appear abnormally sharp: "Comrade Colonel, if you don't stop the thought link between the two of them, she will die!"

"Don't stop!"

The officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs quelled all the panic with a roar.He strode forward, roughly pulling away several nurses who were about to shut down, and threw them to the ground—

"It's just an imperfect experimental subject, a price that can be sacrificed. Haven't we lost less in these years?"

And more importantly: "The motherland has high hopes for us, but what achievements have we made in the past 30 years? Let me tell you, no matter what happens, this experiment must continue, otherwise not only you, but I can also throw it away. Feed beta on the front line, because we have lost a future to the motherland because of fear of loss!"

The eyes on the colonel's hooked nose showed the ferocity of the beast, a look that could not be retreated and let go.Under the light of the shadowless lamp, the figure surrounding the colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs once again returned to the laboratory. The painful wailing from Chriska seemed to be heard by no one. People worked in silence, and the only thing left was to punch holes. The rhythmic "click", "click" of the computer...

The pressure hangs over everyone's heart. Perhaps not everyone knows what their job is, but those who understand fall into deeper worries—even if the colonel maintains a cold heart, his forehead can't stop. The place is sweating.

Even now, they know almost nothing about the "guests" from the distant starry sky. Although they have made some preparations,... will they really usher in the results they and others want in the end?

The light, gone...

Just before Kristina felt that she was going to be scorched by the scorching sun and completely lose consciousness, suddenly, this spiritual realm calmed down—but it was just an appearance, before she could feel anything, Aenea suddenly called out With a cry:

"he came!"

he?Wasn't Aenea's friend a girl like her?Kristina endured the pain and began to feel the changes around her, but suddenly felt a feeling of falling!It was as if she was caught by something and dragged for hundreds of light years in an instant, but when she came back to her senses, she found that the world in front of her eyes seemed to have become clearer - from a chaos to a white hall, And I was sitting in front of a "stone" round table.

"welcome."

Li De sat on the chair with his feet crossed, holding a book made up of shining characters in one hand, flipped a page lightly, and the jumping spots of light wrote such a sentence on the book——

Anima, the realm of consciousness, is the seething sea of ​​ether outside the island where the quantum matrix/your own soul resides.

He raised his head and showed a "smile". When the two girls were still in a daze, he stood up and walked to them, and apologized gently with his hands on his chest in the attitude of a master: "Sorry, I'm studying this space It took a little more time before I finally found a way to bring you in."

As he spoke, Li De kindly put his hands on the heads of the two girls, one tall and one short, and especially looked at Chriska with concern.As his eyes moved, the two girls seemed to have just come down from the battlefield, and they were still wearing the one-piece tights. The "thin" body made Li De sigh - I can't write too much detail, but the two sisters with the name of red have changed from 2D animation to a living person, and the reality is much more "wonderful" than film and television.

"Is the spirit okay? I still can't control my own energy. In fact, I didn't expect my projection in the field of consciousness to be so strong. But don't worry, I have transferred you to my field, stable quantum structure Can prevent your fragile spirit from dissipating."

"I'm ashamed to say, if I didn't stop you, you would have burned them to death!"

Suddenly, Irena jumped up from the table and slapped Li De's hands away from the top of his head to his shoulders.Wrapped in a windbreaker that was too big for her (imitating Olivia), Irena put her hands on her hips and stared angrily: "Take your hands away, you pervert, they are my friends, what do you want? "

"Oh? It seems like this is the first time you met Chriska, and you have become your friend so soon?"

Li De sarcastically said that the sisters didn't know what to say after seeing the two "people" fighting each other.In fact, none of them had recollected the miraculous change yet. Aenea pulled Chrisska's hand, and the latter reacted, touched the painful forehead before, and tried her best to confirm whether it was true or not. own hallucinations.

"Christia, they don't look like bad guys."

Aenea said timidly, they were sandwiched between Li De and Irena one after the other, as if they were ignored at this moment.But they were not harmed, at least not on the surface. This isolated island in the "Ether Sea" in Li De's mouth was as stable as reality, but Chriska pressed her hand on her chest without the slightest heartbeat.

Be sober, I came with a mission, the motherland entrusted me with a mission, and I can't fail!

The main points of the colonel flowed through her consciousness one by one, so she stood up and interrupted the bickering of the two aliens:

"Dear... Comrades of the People's Federation? I am Kristina Bachenova, the messenger from the earth, and I send you greetings from our Soviet motherland! The 700 million people of my motherland hope to be with you Civilization builds peaceful, friendly relations..."

Like reading a book, Kristina trembled a little due to nervousness, but she insisted on finishing the opening sentence: "You are the first real civilization that our earth has encountered, and this is an event of far-reaching significance to our earth. interstellar communication, we..."

"700 million, more than 2 million people in the Soviet Union have lost to this point? Well...you don't have to read the manuscript anymore. I don't like the diplomatic process, and you are not a diplomat. If you have anything to say, just say it. .”

Suddenly, Li De interrupted her, and the blurted words made Chrisska speechless. Aenea on the side didn't understand the joints, and thought that Chrissia had made some mistakes. He hurried to Li De and explained: "What my sister said is true, we really want to make friends with you, I, we didn't lie to you..."

The more Aenea explained, the more she couldn't explain clearly. If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't shed tears, she was so anxious that she was about to cry, which made Li De feel "distressed" for a while. The girl comforted herself and shrugged her shoulders at the same time.

Cunning Maozi, use this method to earn sympathy points in front of yourself... just wait and see!

Outside the quantum matrix, the members of the People's Federation of Representatives looked at the images transformed by the thinker engine with black lines all over their heads.

"This... is also diplomacy?" A congressman's mouth twitched. "What can we talk about with two little girls? Isn't this because we bullied them? How should future history write about what happened today?"

General Hoffman, who has always been strict, shook his head helplessly at this time: "At most, we can exchange some information. We should have expected that they don't have such spiritual powers as our leader. We overestimated."

Someone laughed and said, "Fortunately, our leader is an Akane, otherwise Miss Irena might not be able to talk about anything... Oh, no disrespect, I take back what I just said."

The scene became more relaxed, and people began to discuss——

"They actually send children at this age to the battlefield? Beasts, we couldn't do this kind of self-judgment when we were most in danger ten years ago!"

"They are the same age as my daughter, well, it seems that the leader can't be serious anymore." Someone joked, "I don't know what kind of 'friendship' will be concluded. Put this scene in the news, we don't have to keep it secret , the public will also support and help these poor children."

"Help them? Although we are ready to solve the beta issue from the root, everyone is too optimistic!"

Suddenly, Consul Anya spoke, and the venue fell silent——

"There are still billions of people in that world. Have you ever calculated the cost of aiding them? Don't forget, there are only 200 million people in the People's Federation. On the one hand, there is war, and on the other hand, the whole world. We really have so many people. Swallow both in one gulp with a big appetite?"

Not stranded, talk about civilization

While there is no update today, Clarion is not stranded, nor is Death Stranding

I have to ask why, because I didn't sleep well, I was angry, and my eyes were slack.

I take this opportunity to talk about civilization, or the plot, but it is nothing more than my personal thoughts.

1. About MUVs.

The world of MUV is just around the corner, and the related debates passed in September. As I continued to read the 200-plus-page setting, the world view gradually became clear in my heart, so I put aside the lunar battle and prepared for two-front combat, because according to my According to calculations, since the human union in my novel has become a rudimentary interstellar civilization, there is not much time to farm with peace of mind.

Even the story span of the stars is only 200 years, and 200 years is only mediocre in the universe, but for the "compressed biscuit" universe I designed, the gradually lively world seems too long.

I can tell you that there are not a few advanced civilizations who understand the "space sinking". Outside the area where my pen extends, some big civilizations have just arrived, or are already taking active actions.People's Federation needs luck, as well as active strategies to avoid future passive situations.

But that’s for the future, so far we still need to care about the limited content, that is, the rearrangement of the original work, which includes some thoughts on MUV Earth beyond words—as we all know, MUV is a film that overemphasizes ideology and fully demonstrates What is called "world politics in the eyes of the Japanese" has become its "feature" and filled every aspect of the work.Its controversial and relatively "interesting" setting attracts attention, and a new TV will probably be released next year. It is not surprising that I decided to write seriously.

However, the more I am serious, the more difficult and untouchable areas are in front of me. Therefore, I must explain some things to everyone, give a shot of stabilizer, and avoid future troubles.

*First of all, I respect the timeline of the original work. For the existing setting, even if it is "different from common sense", I just try to rationalize it instead of deleting it.For example, in the original beta, a nest produces 25W per day, and the light-level quantity interception efficiency in a cluster is 1400 times per minute. However, for the convenience of writing, I will not delve into the principle.

*Secondly, regarding the various ideological smears and violent comments in the original work, I resolutely don’t touch what shouldn’t be touched. It is necessary for our people to come to MUV because of our interests and practical needs. I don’t want to add trouble to myself.

*I don’t know how to write about Tianchao, I will never write, and you don’t ask me, don’t ask me, and don’t harm me.Cui Yifei is just a soldier, I will not substitute national feelings to give attention and care, and the protagonist does not push girls, there is no need for that.

*The original work is too dark, not to mention the Chinese Empire, especially the Soviet Union, which occupies the backbone of the brain-dead villains.Let me not say that this is ideological prejudice (I don’t touch it anyway), the entry point of the People’s Federation is closely related to the Soviet Union. I will not beautify or vilify this controversial country. The world is not black and white. Will write according to my needs.

As a person who listened to Soviet military songs and wrote, Bugle also had a red dream, but in reality he had to bow to capital, but I will not discuss the good or bad of these.

In short, not being involved in politics is the quality a writer should have.

2. About Civilization

The horn used to be the Soviet scientist Kardashev grade, that is——

Type I: This civilization is the master of planetary energy, which means they can dominate the sum of the entire world's energy.

Type II: The civilization is capable of harvesting energy from an entire star system.

Type III: The civilization can use the energy of the galactic system for its own use.

As a writer, I can't use a series of mathematical calculations to explain the problem (I can't do it), and I can't strictly abide by his old man's standards. In my book, I will formulate standards that are easier to understand.

*For example, any civilization that does not have the star power of controlled fusion is all civilizations below level I.The earth in reality is only 0.8, and the MUV is estimated to be around 0.73.

The People's Federation who has mastered controllable fusion is above the first level, but it is difficult to explain due to the scale, and this is not an inevitable standard. From the perspective of the horn, all "science fiction" works are trampling on this system. Dare to FTL with fission energy, and jump into the second-level civilization in an instant-can this matter be investigated?No, because asking is space opera.

Therefore, there is another level of civilization that we can refer to, and that is the division made by the forerunners in "Halo".

And when it comes to pioneers, the most dangerous thing-the competition of combat power across the world view comes.What should I do for those bigwigs who can no longer be understood by common sense, fans in the minds of fans?

The supreme commander of the three clans and the fallen empire, revive the holy power, the endless ones are better than the forerunners?

Cosmic natural disasters, logical plagues, floods, high-dimensional demons, these existences cannot be quantified by data.

Don't, it's over if you continue arguing like this, because a big boss is a big boss, and a strong one is a strong one. Don't think about who will win if they start fighting, because the Milky Way will be dismantled for you to see, and there is no point in arguing.

Do not provoke wars, regardless of wars, maintain respect for the strong and do not provoke them, and then work hard to make yourself strong is what you should do.

Chapter 59·Undercurrent Surging

Password, clear code, password.

A large number of radio waves shuttle frequently over the Bering Strait, and invisible signals weave a fine net on the sky at the North Pole, as if to catch the vast stars on the sky.

So many radio stations working at the same time certainly attracted the attention of certain forces—no, the intelligence network of the United States will never be activated only when there is something wrong, and every normal or abnormal behavior of the evil neighbor will be fine-grained well documented.The multiple listening stations deployed in the Arctic Circle have already entered the working state. The best cryptographers in the world are gathered in the archive room. The cracked messages gradually complete a puzzle, and through the completed "information Highway," the Internet, transports data to the Pentagon at top speed.

"William, if there is nothing particularly urgent, don't wake me up in the middle of the night."

The office door was pushed open, and Colonel Lawrence of the Army Intelligence Service walked in with a yawn. He put on his coat, straightened the tie on his white shirt, and stopped an intern: "Two cups of coffee, don't forget to put more Sugar, mental work is exhausting.”

The colonel sat down on the office chair. Although he was full of complaints, his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses showed incomparable shrewdness: "Just arrived? Let me see what the Russians are going to do this time."

"The sources are messy, the Russians are machine guns on the radio. It's all sorted out... If you ask me, I don't like these guys, but they look pretty miserable."

William, the director of the Statistics Department, bit the end of a pencil and pointed to the documents on the large screen, and a series of satellite pictures were printed on the wall—"beta aggressively attacked Kamchatka, the number undoubtedly exceeded 20, and the battle lasted for 36 hours. The light level found is no less than 2000...The Soviet army is almost in a desperate situation this time."

"For help, or for help, three tank divisions and one army aviation regiment will be gone in 5 hours? I really don't know how to fight this battle. Even if they use nuclear bombs, I can understand them."

Lawrence shrugged. Since the Eurasian front completely collapsed, the United States, which has a safe rear, has not been able to sit still recently.The arsenal of the world is not yet ready to become the front line of war. Anxiety is spreading in the hearts of the people, and they, the soldiers, are also feeling the pressure.It has become a consensus to block beta in the Eurasian continent. For this reason, they don't want to see the Bering Strait being breached.

The U.S. Navy has sent reinforcements, and the two officers judged that the front line must be maintained, but...

"Although the Soviet army's telecommunications are 'backward', how can any situation at the regiment level be reported to the general headquarters in Alaska? Unless their command system has collapsed... No, they are setting off smoke bombs!"

Lawrence turned the chair, startled the interns who had just entered the door, and spilled hot coffee all over, but the colonel didn't even look at him, grabbed the landline and dialed a number, and heard the "empty number" prompt Then press the pound key to enter a string of passwords.

"I'm Colonel Lawrence of Army Intelligence, pick up General Dennis!"

---

Americans may not know what the Soviets are doing, but the People's Federation, 25 light-years away, understands it better than anyone else.

The telepathic communication was a great success—for both parties, the Soviet side got a "guarantee", and the People's Federation was very interested in making some arrangements for this "friend" who was far away.

Everything that happens in the Quantum Realm, every conversation and flow of thought is captured by the Thinker Engine and translated into interpretable images.Perhaps the People's Federation is not as good as the Soviet Union in the field of ESP abilities for 30 years of research, but in fact, with Li De, a powerful psychic, and the foundation of consciousness projection technology passed down from NOD, the People's Federation has a great deal of attention to the anima itself. The understanding of human beings is far beyond the reach of people on earth.

"Signal access..."

All the lights were extinguished in the lobby of the Supreme Council, and the solemn obsidian hall was plunged into darkness, and then several beams of light were lit up on the round conference table. Three beams of light, one red, one blue, and one white, weaved three people together. of the image.A confidential meeting was held in the dark, and some issues that determined the fate of the two worlds were put on the stage. Except for the temporary vacancy of the chief position, the Supreme Council has gathered together in a rare way.

There was no moderator at the meeting, and the three leaders were not in a hurry to speak, just watching the picture in the holographic image in the center of the conference room.This is the message that the girl named Chriska sent to Li De with a thought link. It is said that ESP capable users have developed a variety of abilities. This video is like a memory flashback that has been brainwashed and arranged. They want to It is necessary to use this to convey some information to the People's Federation, and to ensure that all of this is true and correct.

The screen is a battlefield, which seems to be the No.1 perspective in the cockpit.The three members of the council still couldn't understand what kind of vehicle it was. The retinal projection method was quite tricky. They were able to clearly see the smoky battlefield, and follow this perspective to undulate and move in the sky of the battlefield. I saw the machine guns roaring to disintegrate one beta after another, and I also saw that the human defense line was washed away by the beta tide, soldiers were shredded, and vehicles were crushed.But humans are still fighting back tenaciously. The artillery fire sweeping across the sky is vaporized into thick black clouds under the laser light. At the end of the viewing angle, they saw some "human" aircraft flying over the battlefield in formation at low altitude...

"What is this, mecha?"

Ensger intercepted the clip and zoomed in to observe the details: "The equivalent scale is about 18 meters high. Something bigger than the Holy Spirit actually made it fly? Interesting."

"Doctor, can't our technology make this kind of vehicle?" Wu Wei stroked his chin, looking at this thing called a tactical aircraft with great interest, thinking about its "tactics".

"It's not difficult to make the vehicle fly, but the question is why it needs to fly and why it adopts this layout. This is what the designer cares about." Ensig shook his head, "There are too many redundant parts in the human form. The combat effectiveness is extremely low. The arm holding the weapon can be replaced by a movable turret, and the legs...I will not comment until I get enough information, but if their technology is indeed only 0.73, then their mechanical design There is indeed something worthy of praise.”

"Yeah, it's really commendable to be willing to let a robot fly into the sky with combat effectiveness." Olivia sneered: "Humanoid mecha...what's the use of this kind of waste? Oh, I forgot, General Wu Wei There are quite a few mech troops under him, so they must like this unrealistic style, right?"

Regardless of Olivia's venomous tongue, Wu Wei dismissed the image with a wave of his hand, and brought up a globe—the meeting officially started.

"Both of you here, I know that the Earth you used to have has not had national politics for a long time because of Tiberium. Although my foreign account can only be regarded as half-baked, I have also served as the commander-in-chief of the United Nations."

Wu Wei said, and then his voice sank:

"We're not here to be their saviors, but since we want these locals to 'open the door' for us, what's the point of giving a little charity?"

Chapter 60 Pandora's Box

The steel explosion-proof door was opened, and an old man in a coat with seniority stamps on his chest walked into the gray-painted room with a document bag.His guards stopped at the door, and as the door was closed again, the old man with the shining Marshal's star on his shoulder put the document bag on the table.
