Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“We?”

Li Yao stunned for a long time, "Who is this so-called ‘we’? ”

Xiaoming did not directly answer Li Yao's question, but dropped his eyelids and changed his mind: “Dad thought, how should we deal with the Volkswagen fleet and so many Saint Allies? Do you think it would be appropriate, for example, for the entire Volkswagen fleet to surrender to the Empire? ”

Li Yao moaned for a moment and shook his head: “I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

“Exactly. ”

Xiao Ming said, "Whether or not the capital is in danger of falling into empire, will it be angry and kill all the Allies - and I'm sure that's not Dad's intention.

“Even if the Empire is generous enough to keep the Allies alive, but devours the entire Imperial Army of the Volkswagen fleet, it will expand considerably, to ten times more powerful than the Confederate Army.

“The Union of Empires and Confederations, which was not always strong, will not be able to maintain a balance and a new scourge will surely arise once the strengths of the two sides are too wide.

“Therefore, not only we, but also our nominal mothers, Federal Speaker Timbell, as well as many of the Federation's powerful and all-requisitors, will not be able to watch the Empire annex the Fleet. ”

Li Yao thought about it carefully, that's really true.

Of course, he believed Li Jialing, but Li Linghai or Lei Chenghu would not be able to speak. There is a phrase called "human nature is good”, but there is also a phrase called “do not test human nature randomly”.

Handing over the entire Volkswagen fleet to the Empire, making the Empire far more than ten times more powerful than the Federation, and looking at the entire star sea, there are no new enemies for the time being - an act of “testing humanity” that is doomed to a catastrophe.

“What about the Federation Expeditionary Force taking over the Volkswagen fleet? ”

Ming looked Li Yao in the eye and said, "Dad, do you think this is a good idea? ”

“Yes, of course, so that the power gap between the Federation and the Empire is narrowed considerably. ”

"But it's impossible for the Empire to watch the Federation swallow the Fleet," said Li Yao. ”

“That's right, Dad spoke of the idea that if the Federation Expeditionary Army were to annex the Volkswagen fleet, it would further close the military gap between the Federation and the Empire, and the problem was that the Empire would obviously not be blind, foolishly watching the Federation seize the richest trophy without being indifferent. ”

Xiaoming said, "After all, this is the home of the Empire. The Empire and the Alliance were so energetically injured in the previous 20 years of 'Empire Fight Back' that this time they almost took out their nest by the Allies. It's a good idea to hit the last bullet, drain the last drop of blood, so easily win - no matter how this victory is obtained, it's time to split the spoils, how can you ask these selfish pixies to give cooked duck archers away?

“Our little emperor's uncle dared to give such absurd orders to all the fairy repairers to stand still, but let the federals shake the Volkswagen fleet away, afraid that he would soon become the greatest sinner in the history of empire and fairy repair, and the next moment will be overthrown by angry imperial soldiers.

“What happened on the battlefield, the Federation Expeditionary Army and the Imperial Army fleets were all mixed together, there was no order at all, both sides could exercise a high degree of restraint, it would be great if they didn't wipe their guns, how could the Federation gather in formation, clean the battlefield, and receive all the Allied starships?

“Not to mention, not to take the Allied Starfleet back into its own battlefield, even if everything - whether Volkswagen or the Federal Expeditionary Force - is scarred, fuel depleted, it is impossible to jump through the stars and sea to retreat to the Federation's mainland, they have to rely on the Empire to provide docks and repair factories to rest, as well as a range of fuel and ammunition supplies, treatments for the seriously injured, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so forth, and so forth, and so much so on, and so forth, and so on, and so forth, and so on, and so forth, and so on, and so forth, and so on, and so forth, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so forth, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on and so on and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on,

“In such circumstances, can the Federation capture and digest the entire Volkswagen fleet? Not at all!”

“You have a point. ”

Li Yao understood what Ming meant, “I don't want to see the Volkswagen fleet consumed by the Empire, but it seems unlikely that the Federation will fully absorb so many powerful and unmatched starships. Most importantly, neither the Federation nor the Empire has the ability to appease and control all of the Volkswagen fleet's 'troop bees' and 'worker bees'. ”

“Yes.”

Xiaoming said, "Although the Volkswagen fleet lost their heads and did not actively attack the outside world, the so-called 'Best Way - Three Original Laws’ is still deeply rooted in the brains of a large number of 'soldier bees' and ‘worker bees'. Among the three Original Laws, there is the 'Safeguard Yourself' clause, that is, although the Volkswagen fleet does not actively launch an attack, someone must attack them first, or break into their ship, disarm them, they will still resist, which is a condition reflex, right?

“You know, from paper power, even in the end, the Volkswagen fleet does not fall, its ammunition and fuel are much better than the Federation and the Imperial Coalition. Except for the collapse of the main brain and the escape of the five Supreme Forts, the remaining main battleships have not been devastated, and there is still one battle force, like a highly vigilant hedgehog of steel, two tired paper tigers, the Federation and the Empire, who want to eat the Volkswagen fleet, there is nothing left to say.

“We believe what Papa means is not to completely destroy all the brainwashed Saints, but to save them and help them slowly regain their emotions and will - it is one thing to destroy their minds, but how to maintain a minimum order that allows them to release their hearts and receive some 'healing', and in the meantime, without further chaos, it is another thing, neither I nor literally feel that the Federation nor the Empire can do that, after all, they do not have the authority to control the entire Fleet of Volkswagen. ”

“That's right. ”

Li Yao looked at Xiaoming and muttered, “We all devoured some of the Volkswagen data. This was originally the flagship of the Volkswagen fleet, and only we had the authority. ”

“Exactly. ”

Xiao Mingcang said, "My foundational database and that of my culture stem from the game of" Civilization "in the Federation of Stars, and we - including the boxing champions - believe that human civilization maintains a state of mutual deterrence and balance among several major forces, which is more conducive to the survival of our new information life in the cracks than a single one, so we are all willing to stand by the Federation and help the Federation to check and balance the Empire.

“Since it is not possible for the Federation to annex the Volkswagen fleet directly, all the horrible ‘soldier bees' and ‘worker bees' of the Alliance need to maintain temporary, minimal order, or, alternatively, they cannot leave the Volkswagen control at once, gradually and step by step, to recover themselves.

“So, who is better suited than us to control the Volkswagen fleet and then the Alliance until the Allies have found themselves and the Federation and Empire are ready to have a new dispute?

“After a brief analysis and discussion, I, Wen and the champion immediately acted to assemble our three control powers derived from the Volkswagen, thereby controlling the entire Volkswagen fleet and demonstrating our presence and attitude to the leadership of both the Federation and the Empire - we are not the Volkswagen, we are willing to surrender and are conditionally disarmed to the edge of the extreme heavens, and when the time comes we will return to the mainland of the Alliance, but we must receive a minimum supply to guarantee the survival of all the 'soldier bees' and 'worker bees' on board, and we do not want to see a new conflict between the Federation and the Empire, and if the wind waves return, the party who created the conflict will be treated as our only enemy and hit hardest by us! ”

Li Yao stared.

“That is...”

He brewed words for a long time, and at the end of the day he cautioned, “Call and go, fight for half a day, in fact you replaced Volkswagen's position, lead the Volkswagen fleet even... the whole alliance? ”

“Not ‘you’, but 'us’. ”

Xiaoming said, "Daddy also devoured a lot of Volkswagen data, gained some authority, and was able to influence a large number of 'soldier bees' and ‘worker bees', so we co-led the entire Alliance.

“Don't look at me like that, honestly, I don't have any interest in leading the Alliance and other things about my mother-in-law. Dad should know that my database is more focused on war, exploration, conquest and expansion. I have a fleet of Volkswagen that is enough. Wen has been raving around, saying that we must not abandon the general population of the Alliance. If we do not lead, manage and treat them, they will suffer material shortages, brain failure, famine and chaos, and hundreds of planets of human beings will be extinct.

“I don't really care about the extinction of humankind, but it makes sense - if we manage and treat all humans in the Alliance, solve the biggest ‘humanitarian crisis' ever in the history of the Pangu universe, perhaps humans will have a different, more positive and positive view of information life, which is very beneficial to our survival and development, so I can barely do it for them! ”

Xiaoming revealed the ruthlessness between the lines in the words, and he withdrew.

Of course, he was like that long before he met Volkswagen, even in the Federation of Stars and Glows.

- If information life truly possesses humanity, this “humanity” is certainly very different from the “humanity” that humankind usually means.

“So…”

Li Yao looked at the familiar and unfamiliar teenager in front of him and felt a little "the child is grown up and no longer under the control of his parents”. “You chose to actively control the Volkswagen fleet for the sake of the Federation and even to solve the 'humanitarian crisis'? ”

“Of course not, mainly for our own survival, we cannot base our lives on human compassion and goodwill. Since our existence cannot be hidden any longer, and with the revelation of the truth about the Alliance, mankind's artificial intelligence such as Volvo will surely greatly increase hostility, we must also possess enough force to protect ourselves. ”

Xiaoming is generous and has nothing to hide, “Daddy feels that humans have enough reason, wisdom and patience to distinguish us from Volkswagen, ‘good artificial intelligence' and ‘bad artificial intelligence', then open their arms and fully embrace us? Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, we can't and we don't have to gamble, or we can take control of a strong fleet and fight if we want to, and go if we want. ”
