The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

This opening statement was slightly beyond Ji Cheng's expectations, so he raised his eyebrows to show that he was interested in Alvin's next words.

Alvin continued: "Originally, as a recruit who just came to the front line, you applied to be transferred to the first line of defense. The army should have refused. Many people, including Principal Julien, were opposed to agreeing to your application. The reason is that although you You have made a lot of contributions on the second line of defense, but you are still a newcomer after all. The first line of defense is too dangerous for you, and you can easily lose your life. Your mental strength is the highest it has ever been since the establishment of the Roland Empire. We can't let you be killed by the Zerg before you grow up."

"For this reason, the military's top brass held a special meeting to discuss whether to approve your application."

"Of course, as you are standing here now, you should also know the outcome of our final discussion," Alvin smiled. "Although he is a student taught by Principal Julien, his and I do not have the same ideas."

"It is true that flowers can receive the most meticulous care in a greenhouse, but they will also be unable to withstand the violent storm outside." He said, "Since your talent is the highest in the history of Roland Empire, you should not be judged by common sense, and I I think based on your performance on the second line of defense, you should be able to take on the responsibilities of the first line of defense, so I convinced others to transfer you to my team."

"And it turns out that you did a really good job," Alvin said in praise. "Your performance when dealing with the lord Zerg today was really beyond my expectations."

"By the way, speaking of this, how did you escape from the attack range of the energy cannon in the end?" He asked curiously.

Because of the angle, the command ship could not see Jicheng's movements at the last moment, so Alvin could only make some simple inferences based on Jicheng's speed detected by radar - but the speed reached by Jicheng at the last moment was almost faster than It reached the limit that the mecha could reach, so much so that Alvin couldn't figure it out.

Of course, it's normal that he couldn't figure it out, because what Jicheng relied on at the last moment was not the power of the mecha itself.

How should I put it? There is enough spiritual energy in the 8137 small world, and it will not be absorbed if it is not absorbed. And with Jicheng's mental strength and qualifications, after several years of practice, there is no need to pilot any mecha, and he can fight with bare hands. Those S-class mechas are fighting each other.

The full spiritual energy and strength in his body are the real confidence that Jicheng dares to apply to be the first line of defense.

Therefore, the reason why Ji City was able to accelerate at the last moment today was purely due to spiritual power pushing the mecha outward - the detectors in the army could not detect any spiritual power at all, so naturally they would not know what happened.

However, if something like this was revealed easily, it would not be considered a trump card, so when faced with Alvin’s inquiry, Jicheng pretended to be surprised and said, “To be honest, I’m not sure what happened. "

There was just the right amount of apology and recollection in his tone: "At that time, I also realized that I might be hit by an energy cannon, so I was very nervous at the last moment and wanted to speed up as soon as possible. It seemed that in this state, I The mental power output has improved, and driving the mecha is much easier than before, and then I can escape from the attack range of the energy cannon. "

"Perhaps this is also my talent?" His Royal Highness continued his performance, "Since I first entered school, I have found that it is much easier for me to drive a mecha than my classmates."

Although his answer contained a lot of performance elements, considering the fact that this small world knew nothing about spiritual power, it was the most reasonable explanation.

Alvin nodded thoughtfully: "Maybe it does have something to do with your mental power level."

After all, research on mental power in this world has proven that the output of mental power is related to emotions. It is not surprising that people will burst out with stronger mental power in times of crisis, thus affecting the efficiency of mechas.

After "getting the answer" from Jicheng, Alvin looked a little more relaxed: "Then it seems that transferring you to my team is indeed a correct decision."

Ji Cheng looked back at Alvin while holding the water glass, with a decent expression, but he was sizing up the other person's appearance without any trace.

He has seen many people with a gentle temper. Lorenzo or Gene are both gentle in character, but Alvin has more of the tolerant temperament of an elder than them.

In particular, Jicheng could feel that Alvin was sincerely happy about the fact that "An Chen" had extremely high spiritual potential.

However, although the Zerg are a big threat to humans, the two sides have reached a delicate balance after so many years of confrontation. For a while, no one can threaten the other, and Alvin himself is the top of the Roland Empire. One, no matter how the war with the Zerg goes, his life will not be affected.

Alvin's emphasis is not the importance of "Tower Will" who finally found a chat partner, nor is it the importance that Julien has due to "Tower Will", but another, purer kind. Emotions that are not so relevant to self-interest.

Jicheng didn't really understand, so he asked meaningfully: "——You seem to be particularly optimistic about me?"

Alvin did not answer him directly.

"Anchen," Alvin paused and said, "Do you know the origin of the Zerg?"

The origin of the Zerg?

This thing was not in the introduction booklet given to Jicheng by Siming Tianshen, and there was no relevant content in the memory of the original person An Chen.

Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows in interest, then shook his head honestly, indicating that he didn't know clearly.

Alvin considered the words before saying: "Zergs are not a species that appears out of thin air in the universe, but they do not evolve naturally. In fact, there is a mother body in the universe that specifically breeds them."

"This mother body is not a living thing, but a huge, nest-like place," Alvin said, "That is the insect nest."

He sighed and recounted the history: "In Star Calendar 9112, the Zerg appeared and went to war with humans. After emergency discussions, the five major forces that were the predecessor of the Roland Empire temporarily united to fight against the Zerg. That was what the history books told ordinary residents of the Roland Empire. However, the real history is that before that, human beings were originally six major forces."

"In Stardate 7708, the civil war initially ended. Humanity was temporarily divided into five major forces. However, during the intervening more than a thousand years, human beings continued to expand their pace of exploring the universe. The original five major forces also rose and declined, and even The sixth major force was born.”

"As a new and powerful force, the Sixth Force is very tough in terms of dividing resources within mankind and in its attitude towards external exploration and expansion. They train soldiers, form fleets, and fanatically want to conquer new territories. ”

"Finally one day, the pioneer army came to a new star area, a place that humans had never explored before, and there they discovered a huge piece of land."

"It is not like the shape of a planet naturally formed under gravity, but a huge, irregular, cave-like land."

"The army of the Sixth Force has always been invincible. They have never encountered resistance in their journey to conquer the universe. Even if some indigenous people are occasionally found on some planets, those indigenous people with extremely backward civilization can only surrender or be destroyed. "In the end," Alvin said, "a large number of victories established their self-confidence, and it was this strong self-confidence that allowed them to set foot on that huge land without fear."

"It's just that they made a mistake that time," he said. "What they set foot on was not some cosmic wonder, but an insect nest."

In fact, Jicheng could guess the rest of the story without having to talk about it. He couldn't help but think that the pamphlet given by Siming Tianshen was a random thing taken from the Imperial Chronicles of some publisher in the 8137 Small World. , there will be no changes without any changes, right?

Alvin didn't know the rich activities in Jicheng's mind, and continued: "There are countless Zerg species in the insect nest, and they usually sleep until the arrival of that army, breaking this tranquility."

"Then the two sides went to war, and the awakened Zerg instantly swallowed up the army that opened up the new territory," Alvin deliberately paused for a moment when he said this, "and the newly born sixth force."

His eyes were distant and sad: "The Zerg appeared without any warning, and they were too powerful. In addition, the existence of the Zerg Hive would continue to breed Zerg, so that the sixth force closest to the Zerg Hive was quickly destroyed without warning, and the survivors They fled to the other five major forces in a hurry. Relying on the large amount of intelligence information they brought about the Zerg, the five major forces quickly formed an alliance to fight against the Zerg. After retreating steadily for tens of thousands of years, they stopped shrinking the borders. "

"However, the sixth force was not born for a long time. During its existence, there were many conflicts with the other five major forces. In addition, there were no survivors. In the end, when the Roland Empire was established, they simply wiped out their existence," Alvin He sighed softly, "Now the only people who know about this history and the existence of the insect nest are the 'Tower Will' and a very small number of high-level officials in the empire."

Jicheng asked: "Since you know the existence of the insect nest, why don't you think of ways to eliminate it?"

——When the Zerg first appeared, humankind’s technology was far less powerful than it is today. Now that tens of thousands of years have passed, is it possible that there is still nothing we can do about the Zerg Hive?

Alvin answered: "If we know the exact location of the insect nest."

Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Alvin said: "All our current descriptions of the insect nest are based on the information sent back to the headquarters by the pioneering team of the sixth force after its destruction. However, there were not a few pioneering troops sent by the sixth force back then. The coordinates of the insect nest are Mixed in countless information, it is difficult to distinguish, and Moreover, at the beginning of the war, mankind was retreating steadily. Now tens of thousands of years have passed, and the border of the Roland Empire has long been far away from the star sector where the sixth force was located. The reference objects are completely different. Even if we get the coordinates of the insect nest location, we There is no way to calculate the specific location.”

He raised his hand to activate the three-dimensional projection in the living room, which showed the scope of the Roland Empire's star field and the location of the battle zone with the Zerg.

"The only evidence we have now to prove the existence of the insect nest," he pointed to the location of the war zone marked with different shades of color, which represents the different density of the insect's distribution, "is that the insect came from this direction."

"That was also the direction where the sixth force of mankind once stood."
