Chapter 326 The Reason Why A Letter Is So Important
One thing Xie Yuan didn't know was that a lot of things were revealed in the video attached to the letter.
For example, the shooting method and principle of the particle rifle. This infantry light weapon, which is different from the current mainstream weapons, has given Serbian and Pan-Asian weapons designers new ideas.
There are also scenes of fighting strange "civilized residents", the "Reaper"'s huge spaceship shaped like a giant creature, and the Protheans' home style... all gave researchers from both sides many new directions.
But the aspect that analysts are most interested in is the leader of the Prothean Survival Shelter, Commander Jarvik.
First of all, this is an upper-middle-class rebel leader. Many questions about the "Reaper" in "Xie Yuan's" conversation video were answered through Jarvik.
This Javik obviously has a very high status among the remaining Prothean clan and is very capable of leadership. If this surviving clan does not escape destruction, it is very likely that he will be the Prothean leader in the next reincarnation.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
But analysts also raised a possibility: after the neutron bombing, Xie Yuan forwarded a memory belonging to Jarvik that was reproduced from Jarvik.
Among them, the content of the last video made analysts discover that Captain Jarvik seemed to have successfully maintained stasis——
"The fortress is safe, Commander Jarvik."
"There are only...a few hundred people left. How can I rebuild an empire with these few resources?"
"Further adjustments are required and the facility has been damaged by neutron decontamination."
"say clearly."
"The sensor is damaged and automatic activation cannot be completed. You will be in a dormant state when a new civilization discovers this place, which may lead to insufficient energy supply."
"Stop closing the hibernation pod! I need everyone who's left!"
"The required energy will be appropriately selected (in the adjustment plan), and you will become the only spokesperson of our race."
"I won't be just a spokesperson."
…
Originally, Xie Yuan hoped to use this clip to show that this race has reached the end of its struggle and is completely extinct.
However, in the opinion of analysts, these last words that should have been secret were detected by Xie Yuan. Combined with the situation of exchanging information with the Protheans through touch as introduced by Xie Yuan before... this Javik may also
alive.
Otherwise, how could Xie Yuan find such last words?
But if this Prothean was finally found and activated by Xie Yuan... then how long has this Prothean been awake? Where did Xie Yuan hide him?
More importantly, is this Prothean still on Eden Prime?
In fact, the best way is to directly seize Xie Yuan, obtain an exact location through interrogation, and implement the arrest.
But there is a troublesome consequence: Xie Yuan is not an ordinary person after all. It is impossible for an ordinary person to find the Prothean stasis capsule buried deep underground by one person.
This is a wild super warrior, a strong man with no backing, no position, and no weaknesses except his family. In fact, his practical value is more important to an organization than that of a Prothean remnant.
And another question is...does a living Prothean remnant have any necessary value to Pan-Asia and Cerberus?
For Cerberus, the research value is greater than the political value, and the benefits of dissecting them can add a biological science experience.
After all, even the Protheans couldn't make them whitewash - and they didn't want to.
As far as Pan Asia is concerned, the Protheans are just a side attraction to their reputation, and the Protheans themselves do not have much value to Pan Asia.
At most...at most, you can gain some political rights in the Citadel through racial exchange with the Citadel's councillors, but other than that, it is of little use.
Because humanity's orthodoxy is in the Star Alliance at the moment, only if the Star Alliance obtains the Protheans can they exert their greatest value. Maybe they can get a seat on the council through this merit... maybe other compensations.
But why would Pan Asia and Cerberus benefit their potential enemies?
There is another situation that needs to be confirmed here, and that is how to personally confirm the existence of the Protheans and their specific hiding place from Xie Yuan.
After the hard option was vetoed because the gains outweighed the losses, how to use soft methods to win over Xie Yuan and reveal his hidden Prothean became a new option.
Both Pan Asia and Cerberus want both!
But neither of them wants to fight with each other. At this point, both Pan Asia and Cerberus "seem" have chosen peaceful competition, tacitly trying to win Xie Yuan's favor - after all, they still have to deal with the Interstellar Alliance Council on their heads.
, the friendship between the two parties depends on the Star Alliance.
Needless to say, the grievances between Cerberus and the Star Alliance, the Pan-Asian Foundation established based on the above-mentioned alliance and the Star Alliance established based on NATO are old enemies that are almost at odds with each other!
After Pan Asia was captured by the Turians due to the "Shanxi" pioneer colony in the First Contact War, the Star Alliance openly built a plank road and secretly used it.
Because the Star Alliance led a counterattack one step ahead, Pan Asia lost face and even had to succumb to it and become a vassal of the Star Alliance.
But Star Alliance was not feeling well either. Since then, Pan Asia has given up on the open fight, but has started a new round of "development is the last word" action, trying to stay behind Star Alliance through all-round efforts.
Watching with eager eyes.
In just thirty years, the Star Alliance naval fleet expanded into seven large space fleets. This was due to the pressure from the turian military power and the pressure from Pan Asia behind them.
At least... 30% of the ships in the seven fleets are named after Pan Asia, and one of the "Everest" class dreadnoughts belongs to Pan Asia.
And this does not include the non-military civilian fleet... Even if Cerberus has a large military fleet on hand, it would not dare to stroke Pan Asia's tiger beard - if it were not for the fact that the pioneer land under Pan Asia is too rare and too precious,
Xie Yuan would rather resign now and go to the Ryukyu Star pioneering land in Pan Asia.
Although the benefits of Eden Prime are also good.
But why does Cerberus have the confidence to win over Xie Yuan even though he clearly has a pan-Asian stance?
…
"Do you think you can convince him to join since he clearly has the same position as Pan Asia?" Miranda's surrender plan based on the intelligence he "collected" in Pan Asia made the Illusive Man very interested, but he didn't understand.
Where does Miranda's confidence come from?
"It can only be said that he serves as a mercenary. Complete loyalty depends on our communication with him later. After all, his heart is towards Pan Asia now, and Pan Asia cannot completely let him go."
Miranda thought for a moment, and decided to do the most important thing realistically: "The most important thing is to communicate with Pan-Asia through the bridge of Xie Yuan, and work together with Pan-Asia to clarify the full picture of the "Reaper Reincarnation"."
"Well, we have the most advanced ideas, but our enemy, the Star Alliance, is also very powerful. Without Pan-Asian cooperation, although we can still achieve our goals... suck,"
The Illusive Man took a deep breath of the cigar and was intoxicated in his lungs before spitting out: "Fah... But the price will become too high. Now it can be said that when the Star Alliance is the most powerful, its own weaknesses have been eliminated one by one.
Remove it cleanly.
What’s ridiculous is that most of the weaknesses are secretly helped by us for the healthy development of mankind, haha.”
"That's because humans should take a more important position in galactic society." Miranda comforted the leader opposite.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't regret it, but our enemies are on all sides, and at this time we need allies to relieve some of the pressure.
And we have a consensus on the common desire to maintain the lasting development of mankind."
Seeing Miranda's convinced eyes, the Illusive Man was very satisfied, but he immediately reminded her: "Looking at the situation, Fan Ya doesn't know Xie Yuan's real secret, so he probably won't take the initiative to reveal it.
You can take advantage of this."
"That's what I mean!" Miranda showed a confident smile.
