The villain he just wants to make money [quick wear]

Irene's words were conceded, and Molly didn't act aggressive any more, she just said indifferently: "It's good for all inspectors to rest well."

Finally, the dinner ended, and the inspectors of the Star River Empire went to the residence specially prepared for them by the Hanhai Empire to rest. The noble ministers of the Hanhai Empire also dispersed and returned to their residences. He stayed with Xie Gu and entered a secret conference room.

When the Hanhai Empire announced its surrender earlier, there were several rounds of quarrels within the Hanhai Empire. At that time, the most resolute group had already received the news from Xie Gu in advance, and most of this group had already led the "rebels" into the galaxy. In the territory of the empire, there are still a small number of necessary rioters who were sent to the guillotine-they all stayed voluntarily, although it is not yet possible to disclose all this, and even they do not know whether their expectations will be realized.

Besides this group of people, there are quite a few nobles and commoners who did not know about it before the news was made public.

In fact, the thousands of years of war between the Galaxy Empire and the Hanhai Empire are basically nothing in the eyes of ordinary people. As I said before, the current society is rigid and indifferent. Although ordinary people live in peace, they want to be promoted to nobles and enjoy privileges. The chances are also very small, and because of the increasingly estranged interpersonal relationship, people's emotional ties are also thinner. Reproduction is only an instinct engraved in genes. While family affection is weakening, the sense of belonging to the country is also weakening, so it is difficult for these civilians to become The active force of opposition will not stir up storms at all.

Therefore, the focus of Xie Gu's attention is not these common people, but those nobles and ministers who enjoy privileges.

The responses of these people fall into three categories:

Either they only care about their own interests, out of consideration for their own lives and other things, they agree to surrender, and even persuade others to join them;

Either very patriotic, unwilling to surrender no matter what, and would rather die than surrender;

Either the two characteristics are accounted for, and the extreme entanglement is temporarily neutral.

For those who only consider the interests, Xie Gu and Mo Li praised them greatly on the surface, and put them directly into the blacklist secretly, and would directly solve them through the hands of the "rebels" when necessary.

For those who are very patriotic, Xie Gu will test their ability, and pull them over for a meeting if they are qualified, and lock up those who are unqualified and incompetent and furious. If they react too much, they can only be pulled out to sacrifice to heaven.

For those who are neutral, they will be persuaded, and they will continue to use them as they want on the surface, but they will not know the core plan, and they will observe the details.Although it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% correct, there will be no problems with the group of people who have been screened into the core layer by the big waves. Xie Gu only wants to reach this step. This is a contest between two empires, and sacrifices are inevitable.

And from the announcement of the news to the beginning of the formal peace talks, Xie Gu has used the fastest means to find out a group of the most loyal and capable ministers, and now the inspector of the Star River Empire came to visit, the entire core team has been re-formed, this group Ministers have different ranks and backgrounds, but their loyalty is absolute.

For today's welcome dinner, most of the core team attended the main hall, or were qualified to attend, or waited on the sidelines. There were still a few people who did not go in, but they also learned about most of them through the broadcast of Star Network. Things, now that the dinner is over, some people entered the meeting room with Xie Gu and Mo Li, and the other part came through the holographic projection and began to discuss the next plan.

"Lian Rong has already discovered General Sanz's army. Although General Sanz led the soldiers to deal with Lian Rong, it probably won't last long." An old man reported with a solemn expression.

There was a very slight pain in his voice, and even the faces of everyone present were not very good-although he knew that sacrifices were necessary, and even these generals were just the beginning, but there was no way to avoid emotional fluctuations in the real face .

Molly's expression was calm. Although she wasn't very happy, she didn't lose her composure.

Xie Gu saw that she had changed a lot, so he didn't answer the old man, but gave up the home court to Mo Li.

"Sacrifice is inevitable, Billy," Molly called out to the old man, "tell Sanz to delay the time as much as possible, and open the space warp to extend the front if necessary, but before that, all Destroy all the communication tools, don't let Lian Rong catch the actual evidence, he has been suspicious for a long time, but as long as we can't prove our connection with these troops, he can't do anything to us."

She said in a deep voice: "Please be sure to convey to General Sanz, no matter what, the empire will remember his glory."

"Yes." Billy Marquis nodded.

Mo Li made some arrangements for the next operation of Hanhai. She has been on the throne for more than ten years, and she is still very handy in handling government affairs. One topic was discussed very quickly, and soon came to the last and most important item - about Xie Gu's invitation to Irene to investigate the "remains of the ancient earth".

"I still think it's a little risky to do so," Viscount Carter frowned, "Although I can't tell if these things are real or fake, they are fakes after all. If there are researchers on the ancient earth in the other side's monitoring team, they can see it." What should we do? Even if they can't see it, many scholars will come after the reputation spreads, what if they are caught?"

The diplomat Sha Xin retorted: "The Viscount is a conservative, and I can understand why he is worried about the inspector team, but I have personally investigated the background of these inspectors. No one has studied the culture of the ancient earth. Earth’s civilization has lost a lot, even if some scholar comes out and says something that shouldn’t be said, can he produce any evidence?”

You must know that in such a civilization with so few clues, it is much more difficult to prove that there is nothing than to prove that there is, when the logic is passable.

Viscount Carter is indeed a conservative in politics. In fact, if you know his family background, and look at his title, you should know that this person has no intention of politics at all—his title was passed down from his ancestors, and in his In his father's generation, he was still an earl. Normally, as long as he made a little progress, it would not be difficult to add back the hereditary reduced title.

Compared with a ruthless person like Sha Xin who was just a local nobleman, but she climbed up to the position of the spokesperson of the empire step by step, it is obvious that Viscount Carter is far behind in this respect.

But Viscount Carter dared to raise objections, of course not because of his rare political sense, but because of his status as a scholar of ancient earth research.

The ancient earth's cultural madness attracts interstellar people, but because the ancient earth has been destroyed long ago, and most of the information that was left behind was lost during the barren period, most of the people who have the ability to search for these relics in the boundless universe are two The aristocrats of the empire had at least as much money as power, and commoners generally couldn't afford this, and most of their achievements in this area were limited.

Although Viscount Carter is a model of ignorance and skill in the officialdom, he loves this ancient civilization deeply, and he is even said to be the No. Thanks to his attainments in this area, he was able to draw him into this team.

Scholars are usually a little arrogant, especially when they are refuted by a layman when they are good at things, Viscount Carter's face is flushed: "Miss Shaxin, I know you are very capable in politics, but the culture of the ancient earth, I think my opinion is more authoritative than yours!" Sha Xin snorted: "But what we are discussing now is political issues."

Viscount Carter's eyes turned red with anger: "But I don't think other scholars will believe it!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Mo Li frowned and stopped them directly: "Okay."

She wanted to reconcile a few words, but Xie Gu said: "Carter, how do you think your research on ancient earth culture is?"

Viscount Carter subconsciously puffed out his chest: "Among the scholars I know, there are no more than five people whose research is deeper than mine."

Xie Gu asked again: "In your opinion, if the things I mentioned to you really existed on the ancient earth, is there anything illogical?"

Viscount Carter thought for a while: "As far as I know, I haven't found anything wrong yet, and the content of a civilization is boundless. Even if there is something illogical, it must be because I haven't studied it enough. In-depth, thought and culture are inherently illogical things, so that it is more brilliant and dazzling than cold technology, and can be called art..."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he almost danced, but it was a pity that Xie Gu immediately stopped his urge to publish a long speech, and said directly: "That's fine."

Viscount Carter was taken aback: "...what can I do?"

Xie Gu said: "If anyone has questions, just answer them like this."

He smiled, as sophisticated and cunning as a fox: "Human thought and culture are inherently illogical, and such incompleteness creates beauty, which can be called art..."

"...Huh?" Makes sense?

But Xie Gu stood up directly: "What's more, I don't think anyone will question it."

He clapped his hands: "The last topic is over, Carter and Sha Xin will come with us tomorrow, and the meeting will end."

After finishing speaking, Xie Gu turned around and left the field first.

……

In the early morning of the second day, Irene set off from the station with several inspectors who were interested in ancient earth culture and some accompanying officials and guards.

Xie Gu and Mo Li are of course going to be together, and Carter and Sha Xin, who Xie Gu named last night, are also coming along. Carter is because he is a researcher of ancient earth culture. However, Sha Xin took advantage of his status as a diplomatic official to receive the accompanying supervisors on the surface, but in fact he was instructed by Xie Gu to help Carter when necessary.

——Carter is a traditional scholar, and his personality is relatively gentle. Although he knows what he should do, he may not be able to withstand the sharp questions of the supervisor. If the style is not sharper than Irene and others If you pull the sand core, maybe you have to reveal your secrets.

The "relic" claimed by Xie Gu is on a disused star one light-year away from the vast sea star field, not too far away or too close. After getting the accurate positioning, you can directly open the space warp to arrive, which is a total of 10 minutes.

After arriving at the place, before landing on this planet, you can see many buildings rising from the ground under the artificial protective layer from a distance, and many figures shuttle back and forth, as if they are busy.

Irene looked at these buildings and frowned: "What is this for?"

How big is this ruins?Does it cover the entire planet?

Xie Gu glanced at it, and wrote lightly: "Reform through labor."

It took Irene a while to realize that Xie Bone meant that these buildings were built by the captive troops.

She couldn't help being even more dissatisfied: "Didn't the marshal say that these people are developing ancient earth relics?"

Xie Gu nodded: "Yes, but how big can a piece of ruins be? We just discovered a spaceship that sank deep into the ground. Although we have obtained a lot of memory chips, it is mainly through Most of them are technical personnel, but I can't just release all the troops, can I?"

Irene is angry - if she can't let go, can't she be killed?

However, before she had time to speak, another official in the supervisory envoy hurriedly said: "Memory chip? Haven't recovered the information yet?"

You must know that with the current level of technology, it is very easy and fast to decompress a large piece of information, but according to what Xie Gu said, it has been almost a month, and it should have been deciphered to obtain all the information long ago, unless...

Xie Gu glanced at the official, nodded, and smiled in his eyes: "Yes, Earl Russell, although the surface of the spaceship we discovered was severely damaged and eroded, the memory chip recorded in the information about the ancient earth The degree of integrity is very high, and there are many contents. According to Mr. Carter's speculation, this is very likely to be the 'fire' sent out consciously by our ancestors during the ancient earth period."

Earl Russell froze for a moment: "Tinder?"

Viscount Carter swallowed, knowing in his heart that it was time for him to play.

He nodded: "Yes, during the ancient earth period, our ancestors began to explore the universe. On the one hand, they wanted to explore the civilizations of other planets, and on the other hand, they wanted to find habitable planets, so they sent out 'fire' The spaceship contains a large amount of information about the ancient earth, in order to prevent the occurrence of devastating events in the future, and the complete disappearance of human civilization."

Viscount Carter took another deep breath, and tried his best to make it up with historical facts: "It's just that our ancestors did discover creatures such as Zerg later, but they only wanted to destroy human civilization. After a long war, although our The ancestors wiped out all the enemies, but also exhausted all the power, and the civilization was lost, let alone letting future generations know the existence of this "fire".

"But Earl Russell, have you ever thought about what we rely on to re-emerge in just ten thousand years or so, even surpassing the technology developed by our ancestors in hundreds of thousands of years or even longer?"

Earl Russell was obviously a little stunned by Viscount Carter's words, but quickly realized: "...you mean, 'Tinder'?"

"Yes," Viscount Carter's eyes burst into frenzy, "The spaceship on this abandoned star should be the second 'fire' discovered since the re-emergence of human civilization!"

"And," his voice tightened slightly, "different from the last time, this time the 'fire seed' recorded more of the customs and culture of the ancient earth period, and the part about technology was relatively small, but it happened to fill a large number of ancient earth A gap in the study of civilization!"

The author has something to say: Viscount Carter: I feel that I have reached the highest level of acting, so I make up my own
