"Hello, sir, I don't know what you are talking about. This is the human base on Mercury. We are just a civilization that has just stepped out of its native planet and is learning how to extract resources from stars,"
"I'm sorry that we are unable to send you home now, but the door of human friendship will always be open to you."
Schiller stood next to the hospital bed, smiling at Ronan, but Ronan was unmoved at all. He turned his head and looked at the few humans outside the observation room.
One of them looked very young, wearing a sweatshirt with cartoon patterns on it, and looked in through the observation window with some curiosity.
Another person was wearing a uniform, holding a red and blue shield, and was arguing with another person in a mecha. Several other people in researcher uniforms were holding information and comparing data with each other.
Outside the entire ward, everything looks very normal. Everyone has what they should do, and communication with each other is very smooth. Just looking at this scene would make people think that they were really rescued by strangers and sent to the hospital.
But Ronan sat up from the hospital bed, showed a sneer, and then said coldly:
"Skrull people, you are always so smart, but you don't know that the huge flaws have been revealed in your speech, behavior and scene layout. This trap is so childish that I find it ridiculous."
"You call yourself a human, but you can accurately call me my race name the first time you see me, and you can even tell my military rank."
"In the entire universe, there are many civilizations that have heard of the reputation of the Kree Empire, but most of them are just a glimpse. There is only one race that knows us very well, because we have fought a thousand-year war, right? The Skrull Empire
His lackey?"
Ronan seemed very relaxed and refused to show any signs of weakness. He leaned against the wall behind the hospital bed and said: "This is just the first serious mistake you made, and the second flaw is that you call yourself a human being.
"
"Humans...humans..." Ronan muttered the name of this race several times in a cadence, and then said: "Perhaps, in the more distant universe, not many people have heard of this race, but among this galaxy group
Civilization, who hasn’t heard of human beings?”
"There are too many cosmic demon gods from the earth, and there are too many powerful cosmic beings that have something to do with the earth. But what is very curious is that this is a very weak race that has not yet been able to step out of their home planet. This
It has become a cosmic legend in this galaxy group, and even the indigenous races at the end of the cantilever have heard of this legend."
"Yes, from the perspective of you Skrulls, no matter how backward a civilization can be, how far behind it can be? If you can't mine the sun, isn't it backward enough? You can only build a base on Mercury. Isn't it still backward?
Not original enough?”
Ronan laughed disdainfully and said: "But you are taking all this for granted, because you are too far away from the era of escaping from the barbaric wilderness. You are like a stray dog, escaping from the galaxy of your home star.
After that, too many historical fragments were left in the universe, leaving you to only rely on speculation when exploring history."
"You think that humans, as a weak race, can only build such a base on Proxima Centauri, and can only come up with a life support system to allow ordinary humans to survive, and can only use hanging
Original light fixtures on the ceiling for lighting…”
"But what you don't know is that humans are a race that has not yet left their home planet, just like the Kree people in the past. Not to mention building bases on planets close to the sun, they even threw chemical-fueled rockets on
It takes a long time to get to the satellite closest to your home star..."
"The heat of stars is insignificant to you, but it is extremely deadly to humans. A life-support system that can survive in extremely high-temperature environments is extremely basic for the Skrulls.
Basic technology is difficult for humans to achieve."
Seeing Schiller's face getting darker and darker, Ronan took advantage of the victory and said: "...not to mention your omission of details."
"What I am using is the undamaged Kree Empire officer translation system, which has recorded tens of thousands of languages used by interstellar society, especially all civilizations in this galaxy group, including human languages."
"But what you don't know is that human beings are a multilingual civilization. Although we have included many languages used by human civilizations, members of multilingual civilizations often use other languages when communicating with their companions.
Some transliterated words, especially some emerging words, cannot be perfectly translated by the translator after changing their sounds and tones."
"But just now, when I was lying here listening to you saying hello, the conversations of everyone outside the observation room were completely translated by the translator. There was no word that was difficult to translate, and there was no unique tone.
word."
Ronan spread his hands and said, "What does this mean? It means that the vocabulary of human civilization you use is the same as ours, so you don't know those localized vocabulary."
Ronan shook his head and said: "This is you, the Skrulls, a typical example of how clever you are but your cleverness leads you to misunderstanding."
"You want to disguise yourself as a weak human being to lower my vigilance and gain my favor, but who doesn't know that the special abilities possessed by the shape-shifting Skrulls allow them to disguise themselves as any race in the universe?"
"Do you think I will be unprepared for this?" Ronan looked at Schiller and said: "Instead of letting me believe that a weak race like humans traveled thousands of miles to the star area of the Kree Empire, in a planet without
On the planet in the atmosphere, there are still dangerous explosions in the spaceship. They have rescued me against all odds. How about letting me believe that the Skrull Empire has been reduced to sneaking up on other people's star ports with suicide attacks..."
"...That's enough, you thief!" Schiller's face became even colder. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Ronan and said, "Shut your mouth and stay here honestly."
"Thief, thief, thief... you also know this word. Since thousands of years ago, you have started repeating this word, as if you are just an innocent victim." Ronan's tone became lower, and he continued.
:
"The education you have received means that you will never understand that the so-called gifts you give to other races are not helping the universe become more prosperous, but creating more tragedies of massacre and genocide."
Ronan crossed the fingers of his hands, lowered his head and said, "The reason why the Millennium War happened is that you thought the Kree had stolen your technology, and they took a bite back."
"But in fact, if you are so powerful and benevolent, you should not choose between the Kree and the Cotati."
"You asked us each to build a wonder to judge the potential of civilization. We built a great Blue City, and they built a Cotati Garden."
"Which of these two buildings is more outstanding is impossible to determine, but you chose the Cotati as the winner, not because their gardens are really more beautiful, but because they are willing to flatter you, lay down their weapons, and become unarmed.
gardener."
"What you choose is not a civilization seed with greater potential, but a lackey that is more helpful to you."
"You think that by helping the Cotati people, you are providing more new power to the universe and making the universe more prosperous, but you have never thought about what the Cotati people will do after they have more advanced weapons than us.
What."
"Will they shout their ideals like you do?" Ronan shook his head and said, "No, they will only use the resources and technology you give them to use the butcher's knife against us. The more you give us, the more people you give us.
More Crees were slaughtered."
"The Cree people are not lambs to be slaughtered. In the face of this foreseeable tragic future, we must do everything we can to resist and resist the coming fate of destruction."
"We took away your spaceships and technology, not to steal or plunder. This is the price you should pay, the price you must pay for your ever-arrogant posture and your arrogance that will eventually destroy you."
Schiller looked at Ronan, and several people outside the observation window also stopped talking and moving. They all looked at Ronan in silence. Ronan did not look at them, but said:
"If you don't give enough, then don't give. All civilizations are struggling in darkness. If there is no savior, then they will not resent anyone, and resentment has no meaning."
"But if you descend on them and give them hope, allowing them to live a short and prosperous life, you will not be able to truly save them and will only plunge them into deeper despair."
Ronan's eyes were trapped in deep darkness. He looked at Schiller and said: "The Skrulls want to be the fathers of the universe, but the resources and technology you have thrown away can only raise a group of people like us.
Nothing can be exchanged for it except the wolf."
"If you are not truly selfless and still have to make a choice between helping other civilizations and choose the one that is most beneficial to you, then you will only gain one thousand years of war after another. In the end, you will not be selfless enough and not enough.
Be selfish and perish."
Schiller was silent for a while, then pushed up his glasses slightly and said: "Perhaps the Skrull Empire is not unaware that when it helped the Cotati civilization, it dug the grave for the Kree civilization."
"Perhaps, when he had to choose one of the two civilizations that was more helpful to him due to practical difficulties, and gave up the other, leaving himself trapped in strategic considerations and judgments of gains and losses, what you heard is so-called
The ideal is nothing more than a slogan."
"But when you saw that the Skrull Empire's main ship crashed into the Kree Empire's first star port without making any announcement...are you feeling happy?"
Schiller saw that when he asked this question, Ronan's fingertips stiffened slightly.
"Because such shameless behavior will completely bring an end to the era when they still have their ideal home planet."
"From the time they took the initiative to provoke a war to show their power, the former Skrull Empire was already dead."
"So, Mr. Ronan..." Schiller looked at Ronan and said in a whispering tone: "I just want to ask you a question..."
"Before this, before you were able to determine this, before you felt that he might still be alive and might still achieve his ideals, what on earth were you afraid of?"
