From black technology to super engineering

"A grain of sand of the times becomes a mountain when it falls on everyone's shoulders."

Seeing the desperate Hall being taken away by the machine guards, Ye Ming felt inexplicably emotional.

"Why are you suddenly feeling emotional?"

"According to the limited description, if nothing unexpected happens, this person will most likely be the next legion commander and a member of the Supreme Council." Ye Ming gently knocked on the teacup: "The highest officer of the execution legion, commanding several The existence of one hundred thousand battleships...but because of our rise, we have become prisoners...not to mention...but..."

Ye Ming paused as he spoke: "Well, they asked for it."

He Mo smiled brightly.

She understood what Ye Ming was hesitant to say - in addition to Hall's extreme uncooperation, the CNY department also lost patience and began to use some "tricks" on him.

Of course, these methods are all reasonable and compliant, and you can even understand it as "confessing all information at the prescribed time and at the prescribed place."

Frankly speaking, this kind of treatment is not suitable for dealing with a rising star of the Imperial Legion like Hall.

But humans really did this... On the one hand, it was because with the recovery of the Virgo Super Galaxy Cluster, humans knew that the empire's behavior in the past was seriously inconsistent with its technological level, and was as barbaric as a primitive tribe. On the other hand, On the one hand, this also means that mankind has begun to establish a psychological advantage at the level of the entire civilization over the Holy Empire, a civilization that once unified the universe and even almost destroyed mankind.

In short, I am more advanced than you.

There is no need for high-level civilizations to reason with low-level civilizations.

The same goes for the peace talks this time.

After receiving the invitation to meet and negotiate from the empire, the humans set the location for the negotiations with an extremely tough and even non-negotiable attitude.

Right on Aila, right at the original base No. 31.

——If your empire is really sincere, then send people over. The only promise I can make is that "the envoys will not be killed until the two countries are at war." Your people will come safely, and then regardless of whether we can come to an agreement, I will let them leave safely.

After the Empire fought for a long time, humans refused to give in. In the end, the Empire chose to take a step back, but stated that they would bring Hall back.

The humans said that if the negotiation was successful, it would be inevitable to return the captives according to their wishes. But if it fails, or if the empire's fleet is still assembled, then the biggest concession that humans can make is to let them meet.

But humans also guarantee that it is a fine tradition of humans to treat prisoners preferentially, and they will not destroy a whole civilization at every turn like the empire did.

In short... In the past month, the Foreign Affairs Office has given full play to human beings' sharp tongue and vitriol. They kept saying a few words about the empire's annihilation of civilization in the past, which made Lianna, who was in charge of contact opposite, choke.

"Okay, there are still a few hours, I'll take a nap first."

Ye Ming stood up and walked to the corner, pulled away the towel, revealing the covered phase change chair. As soon as he lay down on the phase change chair, the chair quickly adjusted to fit the human body structure.

Of course this chair was moved from He Mo's dormitory.

"...Then I'll go get ready."

…

On the Imperial Tula-class anti-matter spacecraft Weilan, Liana was standing quietly in front of the main control screen, looking at the fleet intelligence calculated by Paradise and collected along the way.

On the screen, the Ayla galaxy and the human fleet on the main star road are spread across the starry sky.

"There are more than 3,300 ships in total."

The top leader of this negotiation standing next to her was also Seer Dieter who had been in Ella for a long time.

At the beginning, Prophet Dieter, as the leader of the technical support team, left the planet Aila just before its fall, which could be regarded as fulfilling his last responsibility - because everyone knew that the fall of Base 31 was not his fault. Therefore, after returning to the Prophet's Court, Prophet Dieter was not held accountable, but he also lost the opportunity to further improve his ranking.

However, this time... After discussions between the Supreme Council and the House of Prophets, Prophet Dieter was chartered to become the rotating vice-president, leading the entire negotiation team.

Others didn't know what was going on, but Prophet Dieter and Lianna knew what was going on.

This negotiation is essentially... designed to confuse humans.

Those high-ranking and high-ranking prophets will never risk their lives and come to this dangerous place - because it is very likely that this will be a journey with no return.

Therefore, there were not many Imperial people on their ship. In addition to the two of them, there were three scholars and representatives of the three legions.

Eight people are all on this ship.

In the eyes of the empire, if they can't reach an agreement, these eight people will be abandoned.

But if we can negotiate...

"Back then, they only had a thousand ships and were able to defeat the legion's three thousand ships head-on... It's hard to imagine how we can resist when the number of human warships increases." Lianna breathed softly, with a thick frown on her eyebrows. Worry: "And what's even more terrible is that if we don't come... we won't even know that humans have such a huge fleet."

Dieter nodded with deep understanding.

The reason why the Supreme Council finally agreed to humanity's request and came all the way from billions of galaxies was so that they could take this opportunity to take a look at the size of humanity's fleet and the defenses deployed along the way.

From now on, just knowing the number of human warships may make this journey worthwhile in the eyes of some adults.

Time passed slowly, and when it once again passed through a defense line set up by the fleet, the Weilan received instructions from humans.

As the captain, Lianna obeyed the humans' arrangements cooperatively and began to slow down.

Immediately afterwards, two human warships flew one hundred kilometers away on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, guiding the Weilan to the sky above the planet Ella.

The temple in the sky became clearer and clearer before our eyes, and finally, the Weilan arrived at the airport.

…

Walking down the spiral staircase and walking into the familiar passage, Lianna looked at the passage with an expressionless face. There were mechanical soldiers on both sides, and each soldier held a gun tightly in his hand.

Other than that, not a single human appears.

"Is this trying to intimidate us?"

"I think they are afraid of us." Liana glanced at the mechanical warriors, and then she saw two mechanical warriors walking out of the queue and heading towards the eight of them.

"Mr. Dieter, Ms. Liana, hello."

Under the cold appearance, there was a slightly intellectual human female voice, saying hello to the two of them in Imperial language.

"Before entering the base, please complete routine inspections."

Dieter raised his eyebrows slightly. He stared at the light screen on the robot's head and hummed softly: "Don't you think we came hundreds of millions of light years away just to bring weapons to fight you at close range? Bar?"

"Sorry, please cooperate with our work."

Following the voice of the lead robot, the robots on both sides also took a step forward.

Dieter and Lianna looked at each other, they both exhaled heavily at the same time, and then motioned to everyone behind them to accept the robot's inspection.

"What is this?" A robot asked, opening Liana's briefcase and taking out a soap-like object wrapped in oilcloth.

"Sakura cake." Liana replied expressionlessly.

"Sorry." The robot apologized politely, then returned the briefcase to Lianna, and handed her a pair of headphones: "This is an instant translation tool, you should be able to use it."

Soon, the inspection passed, and the group of eight people walked towards the closed ring door.

The door opened, and Director Xia appeared at the door with He Mo and a deputy director of the External Affairs Office.

"On behalf of the Virgo Super Galaxy Cluster, I welcome you."

Director Xia was smiling, with no hint of toughness or attitude at all.

…

He Mo's office.

Ye Ming opened his eyes from his sleep.

I have to say that this phase change chair is really considerate... Not only does it fit the human body perfectly, but it also changes phase very quickly, far exceeding the best mattresses that humans can make.

As a result, Ye Ming even thought about it, or simply bring it home to be his father's bed - although medicine is now advanced and life expectancy has been extended, because his father did a lot of physical work when he was young, plus his age , now I always feel uncomfortable all over after sleeping. When I asked the doctor, he had no idea and just suggested changing to a better mattress.

But Ye Ming had already replaced his old man with a down mattress, but his father felt that it was not as comfortable as a hard bed...

And this phase-change metal also has an incomparable function-it can serve as a non-powered exoskeleton for humans, allowing those who are permanently disabled and unable to stand up to stand up easily with the help of the exoskeleton.

"Is the person here?" Standing up with the support of the phase change chair, Ye Ming twisted his neck, rubbed his eyes, and looked at He Mo standing at the door.

"We're here." He Mo looked at him with a smile.

"What do you mean by laughing?" Ye Ming asked in confusion: "When is the arranged negotiation time?"

"Well... let's put it this way, on the Imperial side, they have no concept of negotiation." He Mo smiled: "Not only do they have no concept of negotiation, they also have no concept of diplomatic activities and behavior..."

Ye Ming was startled for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Yes, I can understand it. In the past ten thousand years, they have been invincible in the world, and they have never negotiated with the outside world. And even internally, they have completed the complete unification of forces very early. , it’s just a meeting at most.”

"Yes. So, they straight up asked to see you, and to see Hall."

"Meet me? Does this mean a formal negotiation?"

"I don't know, but according to Director Xia's and my analysis... they should regard you as the head of the department." He Mo blinked and added: "Head of the department."

But even if He Mo added the emphasis, Ye Ming still didn't come back to his senses for a while.

It’s true that he is the director of the Brain-Computer Center, but why is he the director of the department? Besides, even if he were to serve in the school, he would be the dean of the School of Physics or simply the principal of the provincial government...

Then...he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Director of the Galaxy?"

"Of course." He Mo laughed.

"!!!" Ye Ming was speechless: "Stop making trouble, what does Director Xia mean?"

"Director Xia means that since the other party is so anxious to see you, it's okay for you to go and find out." He Mo shrugged: "Anyway, our main purpose is to see the enemy's technical plan... and in this regard, you are the only one Only then can we know for sure whether the enemy has deceived us."

Ye Ming pondered for a few seconds and then nodded slowly.

"Then let me wash my face."

…

After briefly washing up, Ye Ming and He Mo walked out of the office.

"Have you arranged for Hall to meet with them?"

"No, this needs to be arranged after the negotiation is over, at least after preliminary contact."

"Well, this is the right thing to do, lest the other party change their mind or make a last-minute calculation after comparing their respective information."

"Yes, but that Liana made a request."

"Oh? What's the request?"

"She gave Hall a box of food. It is said to be called Sakura Cake..." He Mo smiled as he walked: "We kept some for testing and handed it over after making sure it was safe - it seems that this should be A pastry special to the Empire.”

Ye Ming was slightly startled, but he didn't ask whether the cherry blossom cake had been tested - the intelligence department was definitely more thoughtful than he thought.

What he was thinking about was the relationship between these two people.

It seems that the relationship between this pair of imperial men and women is indeed deep.

"A specialty of billions of light years..." Ye Ming looked at the front of the passage, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's a bit interesting."

After saying that, he strode towards Lianna's placement.

…

Liana and Prophet Dieter sat quietly on the sofa. The two of them looked at the environment of the room while constantly communicating with pheromones.

They had been here for a year or two and knew most of the rooms inside out.

But now...these rooms have completely lost their original appearance. Then... everything was replaced with human decoration style.

"It can be seen that humans are a race that knows how to enjoy themselves."

Lianna pressed the soft sofa gently: "This is more comfortable than the phase change chair."

"Yeah, but it's not as practical as the phase change chair." Seeing Lianna use language to communicate, Prophet Dieter also said, and then he looked out the window again - nothing could be seen outside the window, only the stars and scenes of skylight: "Ella is the largest producer of phase change metals, and now it is given to humans..."

Lianna frowned and asked, "I remember that phase change metal is a necessary material for zero-resistance conductors, right?"

Prophet Dieter nodded: "That's why I suggested destroying all the above-ground mining plants before leaving."

"How to destroy it?"

"Of course it's the main gun." Prophet Dieter recalled the Kra people he saw along the way and snorted softly: "Didn't you see those sin descendants? They were all arrogant."

Lianna: "..."

At this moment, the door opened quietly.

The next moment, Ye Ming and He Mo appeared at the door.

Lianna's eyes narrowed, and she clenched her fists almost subconsciously, then quickly stood up and looked directly at the human male she had seen many times before.

She knew that this human male could represent the entire human race.

Even... the embodiment of the entire human wisdom.
