"Parliament" is a super conscious body formed by the fusion of the souls of more than 20,000 Yunad people. She is huge in power and has no fixed form. The unprecedentedly powerful soul energy wanders around the planet fortress we are on all year round.
, the parliament we meet today is not actually her true body - that is invisible - what we see is the communication terminal formed by the "parliament" to facilitate communication with us, and the image it adopts is just the image that was sacrificed back then.
One of more than 20,000 Hunads.
The Yunad people, a race I have never heard of, have an appearance very similar to humans. This can be seen from the image of the council, but they have spiritual power and knowledge of the soul that far exceeds humans.
Before the catastrophe, there was a special consciousness called "Parliament" in Yunade society. "It" was created by the elites of Yunade society by dedicating themselves. It has only one purpose of existence, which is to rule Yunade.
Civilization, seeking the welfare of one's own people, and after the catastrophe, this mission remained unchanged and became deeper. The responsibility of the Parliament rose from seeking the benefit of Yunad civilization to seeking a way out for the entire combined fleet.
Also serving the entire combined fleet.
Therefore, when faced with the suggestions put forward by the leaders of the new empire, even if the Parliament judged through its own logic that the suggestions would do more collective good than harm, she still chose to let as many members of the United Fleet as possible judge the value of the information for themselves.
The most important thing is to be able to plan the future of the entire collective more securely. This will of course take some time, but Sandora and I have no complaints about it: compared to the suffering suffered by the exiles in the past years, any waiting at this time
All are acceptable.
During this time, I was also trying to chat with the "Parliament". This was not easy. The other party did not seem to be a real living being. Her logic jumped back and forth between sensibility and rationality. According to the current situation,
The questions she wants to think about are different. She can switch between several different logical methods to answer your questions within ten seconds. It feels like she is talking to a person who is schizophrenic but has normal logic. I have to change it.
Every sentence she said was stripped down to the subject, predicate and object, so that she could understand whether the other party was answering her seriously or just perfunctory...
I feel that talking to the "Parliament" is simply more tiring than talking to Fina (in the form of the mechanical queen). Although the mechanical queen Fina was once an emotionally rigid thinking machine, at least her rigidity is fixed. Three nothings are three nothings.
You can use a template to understand her when talking to her, but you have to have a schizophrenic heart to talk to the "Parliament". She will be normal and enthusiastic at one moment...
Fortunately, at least the parliament is not too repulsive towards us, and she is quite willing to answer my questions. During the conversation, I learned some other secrets of the Fourth Combined Fleet.
The Ghost Fleet, or the Fourth Combined Fleet, their commander-in-chief is the last council of the Yunard Civilization. This seems a bit strange at first: the Yunard Civilization is not the top of the United Fleet, and they have all been wiped out.
Not even standing at the pinnacle of strength, their last starship suffered heavy damage while escaping the pursuit of the fallen apostles. It can be said that this wonderful civilization has nothing left, but they have become the core rulers of the entire combined fleet.
This is of course puzzling: if there is technology but no technology, if there is strength but no power, if there are resources but no resources, why does the Union Council rule this huge fleet?
One of the reasons is the super commanding ability of the "Parliament" itself. The special life form allows her to integrate into the planet fortress in the form of a soul, and at the same time make a mysterious connection with every spacecraft of the entire combined fleet. This kind of racial power
Allowing her to use her own power to imitate the Empire's glorious starship drive method (soul drive) and fleet command link. These two things are extremely important to the motley crew of the Fourth Combined Fleet, so the Parliament became
The important leader of the fleet, and another reason is the incredible "high-level dedication" idea of the Yunard race. A parliament is an absolutely indispensable role in Yunard society, but it takes tens of thousands of people to create a parliament.
The Yunad people sacrificed their souls to form a parliament at the cost of erasing personal consciousness. This is basically an unimaginable act in the eyes of ordinary races. However, the Yunad people themselves take it as a matter of course: they have no individual
concept……
Yunad people believe that collective interests are the only interests internally. They don't care how much sacrifice they need to make, they only care about how much the collective can advance due to their own sacrifices. In Yunad society, some people sacrifice their lives to integrate into the collective.
More useful "individuals" are very common, and some people even suspect that the entire Yunard race is simply one organism. Each of them is just a cell in this giant organism. The only problem is that these cells interact with each other.
A little further away...
This weird racial concept makes me couldn't help but associate it with ant colonies: don't tell me, they are indeed full of similarities: they are all creatures of group intelligence.
However, although their understanding of their own individuals is somewhat strange, the Yunad people's values towards foreign races are normal. They just don't think that there is such a thing as "individuals" in their own race. It does not mean that they think other races should be the same.
It is precisely because of the above two reasons that the Parliament became the supreme commander of the combined fleet. To be fair, except for this living Lei Feng, you will never find such a qualified and noble fleet commander who can surpass the Saint Kong Sage by more than ten blocks.
——Although the word "noble" does not seem to exist in Yunard's culture.
"I said, when can you finish voting?"
Qianqian seemed a little impatient. After waiting for a while, she couldn't see any response from the council, so she just muttered depressedly. While muttering, she looked at me with a searching look and whispered: "Ajun, how about someone else?"
Fast forward for them?"
I:"……"
Can your ability really be used in this way?
However, compared to the impatient Qian Qian, everyone here is quite calm. I gave her a super difficult Rubik's Cube and asked her to twist and play with it, while I and Sandora patiently waited for the exiles to digest what they just said.
Shocking news broadcast.
About ten minutes later, the council, which had been bowed and silent for a long time, finally raised its head as if it was connected to the power supply: "We accept your information and choose to believe it, but the citizens of the fleet want to know first how you will arrange for us. Although Void
It’s scary, but it’s also stressful for us to live next to the Empire.”
Of course I have thought of this for a long time. The exile fleet cannot be resettled in the same way as the previous world refugees. Their fear of the emperor has spread for countless generations, and the education received by countless generations from top to bottom is
The Empire is a scourge, and I bet the Exile Fleet’s third-grade elementary school textbooks have the words “overthrowing Xiling imperialism” written in it. Under such circumstances, it is already a miracle that the Exile Fleet can accept the new Empire Settlement Act.
They were able to accept Sandora and I's invitation largely because the New Empire had split from the Fallen Apostles. The murderer who once destroyed their homeland was someone else, and the New Empire and their enemies only had the same racial origin.
Another reason is a real threat: the fallen apostles have resumed their activities in the void, and their scope of activities has spread from the old empire activity section to such a wide area. The exile fleet is now exactly in the enemy's new activity area. If it is not
If they accept the asylum of the New Empire, then they may plunge into the sphere of influence of the fallen apostles, and the history of ancient times will repeat itself - for the exiles who regard that period of history as the most terrifying scene, this is a far cry from the New Empire.
Living next to each other is even scarier.
But the most obvious thing is that it is impossible for them to live near the shadow space temporarily-the mercury lamp does not dare to enter the bubble room yet.
"What requests do you have? I will try my best to satisfy you." Sandora asked. I really rarely see her discussing things with ordinary civilization in such a regressive way. Normally, she is a resolute queen in front of outsiders.
Ordering and executing, this is how she talks, but now she is willing to let the exile fleet make requests and comply with them herself - the reason is self-evident.
The way the council spoke was also quite direct: "Live in peace, have a family, and besides, it's best not to see the imperial fleet."
What this bachelor said made Sandora and I so embarrassed.
"Actually, you are already in the territory of the New Empire, but you just happened to be stuck on our macro world passage." I spread my hands to the council, "I believe you also know that in the past few days, you have had straggler spaceships break into some unmanned aerial vehicles.
The cross-world passage stationed there also caused traffic accidents, and that’s how we noticed the ‘Ghost Ship’.”
The council nodded: "Those incidents also caused panic in the fleet, because the information sent back by the spacecraft showed that they were blocked by the emperor. The combined fleet was seriously underpopulated, and many spacecraft were barely under control, but because they were in the void,
It is almost impossible to replenish resources. We can only carry these dilapidated spaceships along the way to prepare for emergencies. Unexpectedly, they encountered you when they were gradually falling behind... Well, you just mentioned the macro world, what is that?"
The macro world is a unique product of the new empire. There is no such thing in the old empire, so the parliament became curious about the new term I mentioned.
In any case, this was built by myself. I immediately explained to the council in detail what the "Macro World Network" was with pride. The other party listened very seriously and was obviously very interested.
"In the macro world, ordinary races that exist as free citizens, and imperial frigates that do not interfere in the development of the world, this is really incredible. I can't imagine that you would do such a thing, it is completely different from back then.
If possible, maybe this is the most suitable placement for us."
"Are you saying that you are willing to join this network as a member of Macroworld?" I was suddenly surprised. "Aren't you unable to accept everything from the empire?"
The answer from Renguangguang was quite straightforward: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't see it often."
I:"……"
Can I think that the main reason why you are unwilling to contact the Empire is that you are afraid of scaring your children, so you just don't see the Empire. What is the so-called out of sight, out of mind?
"This is a good way," Sandora smiled and nodded, "You must not be willing to settle directly in a world directly under the empire, but continuing to wander in the void is not a long-term solution. I can open up a gap for you.
The universe and the entire combined fleet can settle in it. Of course, according to your needs, this blank world will have sufficient supplies. Of course, this blank world will inevitably be under the control of the empire. An autonomous territory like the macro world is a two-party
A form of control acceptable to all, you just need to keep in touch with the empire through the Space and Time Administration. How do you feel about this arrangement?"
The council nodded: "Perfect. The council also looks forward to the time when we can communicate with residents of other worlds with peace of mind. We have not spoken to other civilizations for many years."
Listening to this, I feel sour in my heart. It’s hard to live a wandering life, because I don’t know when the fallen apostles will catch up. They don’t even dare to stop in the world they pass by. Maybe the current generation of these exiles has simply forgotten
They have lost the concept of docking, and like the natives of the ruined world, the stable life on their home planet has become a myth that no one can verify...
"What, is the matter settled now?" Qianqian saw that Shandora and the council had reached an agreement, and quickly threw the Rubik's Cube aside, and came forward with a roar, "Do you need to sign a rental agreement?"
Something like that? For such a big thing, there should be some procedures or something, right?"
Look, this is the mind of the mistress of our empire. Such a huge universe is about to be given away, and she actually thinks about the problem according to the logic of the landlord...
We finally reached an agreement with the Exile Fleet. The Empire will provide a blank universe for them to survive, and the Exile Fleet will withdraw entirely from the void to restore peace to the macroworld network. As for the blank universe, it is not counted as the empire's direct territory.
As a completely autonomous world handed over to the exile fleet, we will incorporate it into the macroworld system through the Space and Time Administration. In this way, the exiles will obtain a stable enough home to end their wandering days, and they can also
They happily continue to live their pure life of "not seeing the Imperial soldiers"...
The person who led us out of the building where the parliament was located was still the tall female officer from before. Different from the cold and vigilant attitude when she led us in at the beginning, this time the other party looked at us with curious eyes.
Of course, there is still a lot of caution in addition to curiosity: the Imperial people have been savage beasts in their minds all their lives, and now they suddenly become friendly neighbors, which is not so easy to accept.
"It's incredible that the exiles who were so tortured by the fallen apostles can accept the new empire," Sandora and I bit our ears in a low voice, "This should be considered a blood feud, right?"
The person who answered me was not Sandora, but my sister who heard my words on the other side. She had a calm smile on her face, and she seemed to have thought clearly: "They have been wandering for countless generations. In fact, the hatred of their home being destroyed
It has long been obliterated by the replacement of generations. Except for a very small number of immortal life forms in the fleet now, it is difficult to say how many of these wanderers still remember their original feud with the fallen apostle. Their hatred of the Xiling apostle
Opposition, now more of a fear than hostility, is the deciding factor in their acceptance of the new empire. Besides - who doesn't want to have a stable home?"
After coming out of this grand building, we returned to the previous landing platform. Later we will take the transport plane provided by the Exiles to leave here and return to the surface of the planet. The shuttle from the Imperial Admiral is now also on the
Stopping outside the planet fortress, in order to avoid causing chaos, Sandora did not let more imperial warships approach the exile fleet, but only asked them to send some shuttles and frigates.
It is still dim under the steel sky of the planet fortress, and lights like flowing fireflies shuttle rapidly through this confined space, forming countless bizarre lines. This world wrapped in thick armor may reflect the first generation of people who built them.
The strongest desire in the human heart: security.
Now, their wish has finally come true, but it was realized through the hands of the imperial people who destroyed everything in the past. "Dramatic", sometimes only these three words can really explain everything.
"Everything seems to be very peaceful. I thought I could see something like a carnival or a loudspeaker broadcast."
Qian Qian suddenly jumped up into the air and looked down at the earth. After being dizzy by the bright lights, she came down and said with a little regret.
"It's better than the whole planet protesting together." Sister smiled, "I heard that this planet fortress was originally the administrative planet of the Toberu people. After the disaster broke out, the Toberu people resisted for three years before being completely defeated.
, on the eve of the defeat, they exhausted all resources, covered all their surviving home planets with thick armor, and pushed into the void. This ensured that the subsequent exile fleet could support it to this day. The current 'Parliament' is considered parasitic.
On the home planet of the Toberu people, she travels throughout the planet like a river. Therefore, knowing everyone on this planet, the parliament should have known that the exile fleet no longer had the obsession to seek revenge to the death, so
Accepted our suggestion."
"They are all very powerful civilizations, but it's a pity that the fallen apostles destroyed everything." Sandora sighed.
So everyone sighed together.
At this moment, I heard a burst of neat and rapid footsteps coming from the side, and then a clear female voice that made sparks burst out from my voice said: "Sir! The leader of the Armored Scorpion, Vega, has returned to the team!"
When I saw it, it turned out that Vega had led her troops, together with (that's the right word) other heroic combat soldiers and reconnaissance troops to the landing platform. It was obvious that they were let in by the exile guards, Sister Scorpion
This time she perfectly completed a task that she was not happy with, which was that she was not allowed to stab anyone with a knife under any circumstances. I found that the expression on her face was still a bit depressed. She must have been scanned with a scanner before.
She was quite aggrieved to have her body photographed for a long time and still pretend not to notice, but the ravens were still laughing and joking, each and every one of them was teasing the honest leader: even the heartless ravens knew it.
, it is best not to provoke the Armored Scorpion at this time, the latter has a belly full of nuclear fuel and is waiting to explode.
"Okay, okay, don't be so straight-faced," I thought that Weijia, the iron-blooded sister, was a little girl with a willful temper in some respects, so I couldn't help but pat her arm - she was over two meters tall in fighting form.
It's high, I can't reach it any higher, "Actually..."
I had just finished speaking when another set of footsteps came through. I turned around and saw that it was the young soldier duo I had been with for a short period of time: Jin and Toululu.
