Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chu Zhongjiu stunned for a while before softly saying: “It was just an accident. ”

"" Uncle Chu, the word 'accident’ should not be spoken from a refiner. There are no accidents in the world, only hidden dangers and probabilities! ”

“We have been drifting in the star sea for a thousand years. The components on the Firefly have all rusted, worn and aged, and are increasingly unable to keep pace with the development of our new technology. The occurrence of ‘accidents' is only a matter of time. Over time, such ‘accidents’ will only become more and more. Finally, in an astonishing ‘accident’, our civilization will be completely destroyed! ”

Chu Zhongjiu was silent and sighed a long time: “The lady is right. ”

"Therefore, the Xingyao Federation is our last hope. Although they have not yet reached our height in some key technical areas, the Xingyao Federation has at least seven thousand worlds under its control, and there is also a 'Kunlun relic’ from a prehistoric civilization, whose resources, population and frontiers are thousands of times ours! ”

“I firmly believe that quantitative change causes qualitative change, and the Starlight Federation has unlimited potential, and even if there is something worse than ours now, it is destined to catch up with us soon at the speed of the wind turbulence! ”

“Uncle Chu, you know, when I was studying the ‘dark blue thunder' of the design of Witchhorse Xuan, I really had a lot of emotion in my mind. It was so delicate, I didn't know how to say it - when, even in the countryside by the star sea, could there be a master of refiners like Witchhorse Xuan, who could make a crystal that was no less than our mainstream equipment? Well, what a terrible potential! ”

Chu Zhongjiu couldn't help but say: “This is too modest a young lady. Compared to Miss Ma Xuan's refinery technique, it's not worth mentioning. Just now, she solved the problem easily. Even by adjusting the school, she inspired this crystalline armor to have stronger performance, more than the method of Ma Xuan, more the 'round' taste? Don't say Ma Xuan, just because her mother, Master Xie An, is close to it, she may not be able to teach better than Miss. ”

The Tang maiden smiled and shook her head: “Uncle Chu, don't exaggerate. I know very well how many levels of refinery I have. Besides, I am the only one on the Firefly, but the Witch Horse Xuan is only a newcomer to the rise of the Star Glow Federation. He is invincible among young people. He has really reached the upper level of the refiner circle, some are better than him! ”

“In short, I believe that geniuses are stacked up in quantities. The so-called 'existence of Cape Phoenix' is just the tip of the pyramid, but it needs a huge base to support it! Now, our Firefly lacks this base figure and is destined for the river; Starlight Federation has enough people to support an infinite civilization and steam the sun! ”

“We possess cutting-edge technology, but we lack an industrial base and a population; the Federation of Stars is strong enough, and the population and resources are large enough, but ultimately not enough, and some cutting-edge technology and ingenuity may take hundreds of years to accumulate! ”

“If we could really merge, it would be very good for each other. Such a new civilization would make it possible to defeat the Imperial Expeditionary Army and even kill back home in the middle of the Starsea! ”

“This is both my father's ideal and my volunteer. No matter how many difficult obstacles I encounter, I'm going to take this road to the end. Uncle Chu, will you support us? ”

Chu Zhongjiu smiled: “I have been under the command of Captain Tang since I was 11 years old. At that time, we were just two elementary school soldiers in the power cabin. That power cabin explosion saved my life even by Captain Tang. After all these years, I don't support Captain Tang and you. Who else can I support? ”

“However, this road is not easy to go. The people on the Firefly do not necessarily object to merger with the Starlight Federation. After all, they are the only two realtors of civilization left in the fruits of the star sea. But there is a question of who owns and who, especially those in our parliament, have asked to join the parliament of the Starlight Federation directly, even the name 'Starlight Federation’ has to be changed, directly to ‘Starlight Republic’! ”

Tang's maiden name glanced at her eyes, and the courteous temperament disappeared without a trace: “Are these people, these people's brains wrong? With only a thousandth of our population, we don't even have a resource planet, only a shipwreck full of sores! The only bargaining chip is the intelligence that came out of some of the divinity, technology and the center of the star sea a thousand years ago, that's all! ”

“And our divinity and technology, even if they develop independently and bury themselves for centuries, can always be developed! ”

“With this in mind, you want to be in the owner's parliament and even let someone change the name of the country? Isn't that more ridiculous than 'undergreedy snake swallowing'? ”

Chu Zhongjiu stopped talking for a moment and said: “Perhaps they have no problems with their brains, but they are in different positions and look at the problems differently. ”

“Miss, as you know, there has been a 'route dispute' on the Firefly since hundreds of years ago, mainly between 'technical posts' and ‘management posts'. ”

“Like you, like me, even your father, the captain, first lieutenant, navigator, etc., we who work in specific technology naturally do not attach much importance to the sign ‘Orthodox Government of the Starling Sea Republic'. Many of us even think that what ‘Orthodox Government', now the Firefly, is a starship, so long as it is managed according to the rules and regulations of the starship, there is no need for any 'Orthodox Government' to refer to it! ”

“But don't forget that a thousand years ago, when our ancestors escaped from the extreme heavens, the ship was filled with members of parliament and their families of the 'Orthodox Government of the Starling Sea Republic', who, after a thousand years of intertwined power, maintained the day-to-day operation and management of the parliament, the 'Club'. ”

Tang Zheng sighed coldly: “What kind of star club? Say it sounds good, it's burdensome, say it sounds bad, toxic tumor! ”

"Young lady, technicians like you naturally regard the 'club' as a burdensome or even poisonous tumor, but in the eyes of the 'club' parliamentarians, they are the last hope to sustain the Orthodox government, a national elite far more important than the technicians! ”

“The struggle between technical and managerial posts has been quite intense for centuries, and now suddenly a 'Federation of Stars and Glows' has emerged, hasn't it greatly exacerbated the contradictions between the two sides? ”

“I can't quite hear you, miss, your father is the captain of the Firefly, you're the youngest lecturer at Starsea University, and the youngest first-class researcher at Starsea Research Institute, and I, so-so so-so, can provide some technical support for the refiner. ”

“Technicians like us, even if they join the Starlight Federation, will only be high and not low. ”

“Your father could continue to be captain of his Firefly, and the Starlight Federation might even devote some resources to supporting him in the formation of a fleet under his command; and you, experts from Starsea University and the Starsea Institute, could find a grand world where larger educational and research institutions could be established, or hired by the Federation's eighteenth highest schools at a high salary to participate in more in-depth and far-reaching research; even for me, it would be easy for the Federation to enjoy better treatment than it is today. ”

“In short, for us technicians, membership in the Starlight Federation is beneficial and harmless. ”

“But what good would it do those members of the club, even our Speaker, to join the Starlight Federation? ”

“Xingyao Federation lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of senators and Speakers. Everyone has done well. Every senator and Speaker has accumulated countless battles and struggled so hard to share a cup of food with our senators for no reason? How is that possible?”

“There can be no two Speakers of Parliament in a single Commonwealth, can there? Ma'am, how can Star Club support a full merger? After the merger, we can eat with skill. What are these senators going to do? ”

“Management? Yeah, they say management! The problem is, miss, as you said, we have more than 100 million people on the Firefly, and we are the largest parliamentarians, and we have dealt with more than 100 million people! The seven great worlds of Starlight Federation together have hundreds of billions of people! Our congressman's poor little management experience is nothing at home! ”

“When the Federation comes out of a big town, it's very likely to have hundreds of millions of people, so let our Speaker be their mayor. Why are we Speakers? Our chancellor will do it, and the original mayor won't let Hyun! ”

“This is still the Speaker of Parliament, and what about all the officials in the empty department of vegetarian cafeteria? When we evacuated, we kept hundreds of departments, so many officials haven't done anything for a thousand years. What are they going to do when they merge? To be a small clerk at the grass-roots level of the federal counterpart? Who wants to!”

“In short, the matter of joining the Starlight Federation is very complicated. Even though your father is the captain of the ship, in the face of such great resistance, it is not possible to do it at once, let's think about it in the long run! ”

“The Black Wind Fleet is about to hit the door. How can you even think about it? ”

The Tang maiden couldn't help but tighten her fist. “If we can't complete the integration before the Great War, then...”

Just now, Chu Zhongjiu's companion crystal brain suddenly sent a slight vibration, and someone sent a spiritual crane.

In order to talk to the Tang maiden, Chu Zhongjiu has set the level of the Spiritual Crane Herald. Except for a very few very important characters, the information system of general idle people and others is blocked.

The content that emerged from the Spiritual Crane Herald made Chu Zhongzheng slightly flashed, his eyebrows locked tightly.

“What?”

Tang looked at him with concern, "Uncle Chu, what is it? ”

“Something very strange happened. ”

Chu Zhongjiu said with great confusion, "Ness, the head of the maintenance department here, asked me for help, saying that the crystal armor ‘deep blue thunder' that we had just joined forces to adjust, there was another problem! ”
