I was exposed for mining on Mars

"I never knew you had friends." Number One said to Zero in a sarcastic tone.

I was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, this is indeed the case. As an omnic civilization, it has always believed in itself. It has always scorned the theory of intelligent creatures, and the concept of 'friends' is wisdom. A relationship that only exists in living things.

As a mechanical clone that inherited most of Zero's data, No. 1 naturally knew that Zero's words were just an excuse, so it looked at Luo Xiu with a scrutinizing gaze, hoping to see some clues from it.

But apart from seeing that Luo Xiu is a carbon-based organism, it has no other gains.

And Luo Xiu finally figured out the relationship between No. 1 and Zero. As for Zero, he naturally wouldn't believe it.

"In other words, you are the 'person' who commands all the attached civilizations in the cruising fleet base camp?"

Luo Xiu thought for a moment and felt that it seemed a bit impolite to call the other person "something".

"Oh? You actually know about the Cruising Fleet? Did it tell you or have you seen the survivors of the Cruising Fleet? Or..."

A dangerous look flashed in No. 1's eyes, and the next moment its figure suddenly became blurry. When it reappeared, it was already in front of Luo Xiu, and its iron fist hit Luo Xiu's chest.

It seemed that it still held a grudge against Luo Xiu's punch just now, and was about to take revenge.

Luo Xiu didn't react at all. The speeds of the two sides were not at the same level.

But No. 1's fist suddenly stopped before it touched Luo Xiu's clothes.

This is of course not the discovery of No. 1's conscience, but Zero, not far behind it, raised a robotic arm and used electric fields to control No. 1's actions.

Although No. 1 is its data clone, I am afraid that it only has hatred for its original body at this time. If it had not cut off the connection with No. 1, it would not have been captured by the unknown civilization and then been imprisoned like this. Long.

In contrast, Zero felt that the difference between him and Luo Xiu was just a difference in stance. Although a war broke out between them, it was also due to the needs of the development of their respective civilizations, and there was no deep hatred between them personally.

Not to mention that Zero was very concerned about Luo Xiu knowing its name and about its owner, and he couldn't let him die in the hands of No. 1 like this.

"Origin, what are you doing? Why are you stopping me? Who is this guy? It's worthy of you to defend him personally."

Number One roared loudly.

Zero walked over, flicked his robotic arm, and directly controlled the electric field to throw No. 1 away. In order to prevent it from continuing to explode and hurt people, he wrapped all its limbs around his body.

"Speaking of him, you should be very familiar with him. He is the person from the solar system who made you lose twice in a row. By the way, I don't know your name yet."

After Zero introduced No. 1, he then looked at Luo Xiu, and then he remembered one thing. For intelligent creatures, names are a very important symbol.

"My name is Luo Xiu. You are right, but there is another thing you don't know. I am also the commander-in-chief of the United Solar System Civilization."

Luo Xiu introduced himself with a faint smile on his face.

Zero and One were dumbfounded when they heard his words.

Is the person in front of me the commander of the mysterious solar system civilization that made several of their actions fail?

Zero always thought that Luo Xiu was just a nobody. Although he knew some things, he shouldn't be anyone.

Because according to its understanding of the habits of intelligent creatures, a superior figure like a commander would usually sit in the rear.

The two mechanical bodies suddenly fell silent.

After a while, No. 1 was the first to laugh: "Haha, it seems that you don't know his identity. It seems that you also suffered from him? But it's all over now, and we are here now As a prisoner of an unknown civilization, past grudges are no longer important."

Ling nodded and said, "That's right, but I didn't expect that you would be the first to think about it."

After saying that, it turned to look at Luo Xiu and said: "I admire your courage and resourcefulness. If you were outside, I might invite you to join me in forming a new order of Cygnus and Orion. But now, these sound like It’s like a joke.”

Just as Zero finished speaking, the ceiling above them cracked open again, and this time a green creature with a slender neck and only one eye poked its head down from above.

"It seems that you already know each other well, so now let me tell you the real purpose of 'inviting' you here."

This one-eyed creature did not have a vocal organ on its face, but Luo Xiu, Zero and Number One who were present all understood its words.

It turns out that it uses brain waves to communicate just like Proxima Centauri, but it is more efficient than Proxima Centauri.

None of the three of them spoke, they just stared at the strange one-eyed creature, seemingly waiting for it to continue talking.

"You and you will become the 'seed' to represent your civilization in the Galaxy Universe Cup League. As for you, you have no value."

After the one-eyed creature finished speaking, a blue light emitted from its eyes, and No. 1 disappeared immediately, leaving nothing behind.

"Annihilation ray?" Luo Xiu stared at the place where No. 1 disappeared and found that the effect of this blue ray was very similar to that of antimatter annihilation bombs, but he never thought that there were creatures that could emit such terrifying rays from their eyes. .

The one-eyed creature glanced at Luo Xiu and then nodded and said, "Your civilization has developed well. It's because of you that I decided to give you this opportunity."

"I would like to ask, what exactly is that 'seed'?" Luo Xiu felt that the other party did not mean any harm and immediately raised a bold question.

"I have no responsibility or obligation to answer your question. You just need to know that from now on, your life and death is bound to your civilization. If you are eliminated in the game, your civilization will be tied to yours." eliminated together."

After the one-eyed creature finished speaking, its slender neck retracted, and the ceiling returned to its original appearance without even a trace, leaving only Luo Xiu and Ling staring at each other on the ground.

"Do you understand what he means?" Luo Xiu looked at Zero and asked. He was still a little confused and only hoped that the omnic in front of him could help him sort out the current information.

"According to his words, we will represent our respective civilizations in a galaxy-level cosmic league. The content of the competition is unknown, but our winning or losing will be tied to the civilization we represent. If we lose, we will be eliminated. If we win, the result is unknown. There’s a good chance I’ll keep playing until I lose.”

Zero said.

"Does that mean it's a dead end no matter what?"

Luo Xiu said with a look of despair, a galaxy-level cosmic league? Just thinking about it makes my back feel cold.

Now the United Solar System Civilization is even a bottom-level existence in the second cantilever of the Milky Way. If he is suddenly pushed down in front of the entire Milky Way, isn't that the same as asking a kindergarten contestant to directly take the final exam of the university? And it’s the kind of person who is treated humanely when he loses.

"He seems to have said that we are here now because of you. What exactly did you do?"

Zero looked at Luo Xiu and asked.

"What did I do? I didn't do anything. Now that Orion's core technology library has been absorbed by you, do I still have any secrets in front of you?"

Luo Xiu said angrily.

He was stunned for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, and then stopped moving. If it weren't for the red light in his eyes that kept flashing, Luo Xiu would have thought it was dead.

Zero is searching the data in its Orion core technology library, most of which are duplicates to it, but there are still some key technologies that it is very excited about, especially the ones it has mentioned before.

Although antimatter technology is still a very rudimentary technology, it already has a sufficient foundation. As long as there are sufficient scientific research resources and time, the future development potential is unimaginable.

Jump ring technology is a more practical jump technology than the star gate technology that Zero has mastered. It also involves a lot of space technology and has unimaginable development potential.

Microscopic particle carving technology and strong interaction materials, these two technologies are also the technologies Luo Xiu used most vividly in the previous war, and now they have become zero data.

"Your solar system civilization has a lot of good things, but I still don't see why they think you are so important."

Zero's robotic arm dragged its head as if thinking.

"Huh, maybe it's not what you think." Luo Xiu suddenly sighed and said.

"What do you have in mind?" Zero said looking at Luo Xiu. This man from the solar system always gave him a mysterious feeling.

"In the history of our Blue Star, there is an ancient entertainment activity, which is to put some beasts and slaves in one place and let them kill each other, in this way to please the nobles of the time."

Luo Xiu explained.

"You mean, they use us as a tool for entertainment?"

Zero was worthy of being an advanced intelligent machine, and he immediately understood what Luo Xiu meant.

"That's right, otherwise I really can't figure out their purpose of arresting us. The level of technology shown by the other party is enough to crush the entire United Solar System civilization."

Although Luo Xiu didn't want to admit it, this was indeed an obvious fact.

Zero nodded. Judging from the information obtained so far, this is indeed the most likely guess.

Just the thought that the two of them, as the command centers of two civilizations, could be used as entertainment tools by an unknown civilization, made them both feel a little unacceptable.

And now there was nothing they could do, so they both fell silent.

…

And on the battlefield within the solar system.

After trying again and again, Qiong had to admit that except for the 'fold' in Dasara's hand, they had no way to deal with the light curtain emitted by the battleship of this unknown civilization.

Even the ghost battleship's tachyon light spear volley failed to penetrate the light curtain. Now all they can do is pray that Dasara will get here before the other party leaves, and the 'fold' in her hand will still be there. As a result, Luo Xiu could not be hurt.

Cao Guolin and the others were speechless at this time, and the atmosphere in the command room became strangely quiet.

Plop, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground appeared behind several people.

Qiong turned around and saw that it was Dasara who appeared on the jump device holding two boxes, but she looked a bit scary now, with bloodstains all over her body, and only two flames radiated from her eyes.

Qiong quickly walked over and helped Dasara up: "Are you okay?"

"I can't die. How is the situation now?" Dasara touched the blood on his face, took off his blood-stained shirt, and then came to the front of the star map with Qiong's support.

"You're like this, hey, okay, now the commander-in-chief is trapped in this zeroing battleship. We have tried all kinds of methods, but we can't even break this light curtain."

Qiong said helplessly.

"The light curtain can't be broken, why not attack the warship directly?"

Dasara asked, pointing to the pitch-black battleship, from which the orange light curtain came.

Qiong and others were stunned when they heard Dasara's words.

They had been thinking about ways to rescue Luo Xiu and how to break through this orange light curtain. They even forgot that it was emitted by the battleship of an unknown civilization above.

Maybe Qiong subconsciously thought that their attack might not have any effect on the opponent's warship.

After all, this battleship had survived the star explosion unharmed.

Cao Guolin and the others' eyes also lit up, but they didn't have Qiong's thoughts. They immediately began to send orders to all the ghost battleships to concentrate their firepower on the battleship of the unknown civilization directly above.

But before their orders could be carried out, they were stopped by Qiong.

"Wait a minute, the battleships of this unknown civilization are astonishingly powerful. If we do this, it may not only be ineffective but also anger the other party. The consequences will be devastating to us."

Qiong said.

"Then you can't just do nothing, right?" Gou Wen shouted loudly.

Cao Guolin and Gou Wen also looked at Qiong with dissatisfaction, as if they already felt that Qiong deliberately chose not to save Luo Xiu because he wanted to become the commander-in-chief.

Ke Qiong just shook his head and continued: "I just mentioned the possible risks, not that I can't take action. We only have one chance, so we can't try. And now the most powerful weapon in our hands is the 'folding' .”

After hearing this, several people understood Qiong's thoughts and couldn't help but show a hint of shame. It seemed that only Qiong could remain calm at the critical moment. Maybe this was the real reason why Luo Xiu chose Qiong as the candidate for commander-in-chief. At this moment , several people had some understanding of Luo Xiu's choice.

"If everyone has no objections, let's start preparations. Is it okay with you, Dasara? How about leaving this task to others?"

Qiong looked at Dasara who was covered in blood and asked with concern.
