"We actually encountered a mechanical civilization's battleship a hundred thousand light years away from human territory. It seems that we are very close to each other."
"Yes, according to this distance, the mechanical civilization is probably less than 300,000 light years away from us. With the technological level of both of us, as long as we have the coordinates of the other party, we are fully capable of sending troops to the other party's territory within fifty years."
"Fifty years? All the members present, who can't live in seclusion for eighteen hundred years at a time? Fifty years, what's the difference between this and being in seclusion right under your nose?"
"It's too close. As a powerful ethnic group, both us and the mechanical civilization will do everything possible to expand outward. Sooner or later, there will be a war between the two sides."
"Silence, silence, now I would like to invite Senator Wang Xu, a reserve member who has made a perfect mission to the elves and brought back the Titan battleship, to speak."
The noise stopped temporarily, and all the members of Congress looked at a young figure sitting in the corner on the right.
He is Wang Xu, recognized as the number one person of the younger generation in the era of cultivation.
According to the Cultivation Code, seventh-level monks are automatically promoted to parliamentarians. Wang Xu has not yet broken through the seventh level, and according to the code, he is not eligible to participate in the Cultivation Council.
For this reason, many members voted to give him the title of reserve member as a special exception. With his perfect cultivation in the integration period, he can enjoy the benefits of the seventh-level Mahayana period.
"Ahem"
Wang Xu stood up from his position. This was the first time he stood in the center of power and made his own voice.
He believed that this was not the last time. In the future, his voice would become more and more prominent, until one day he would become the master here.
"Hello, members and speakers, I am Wang Xu, a young man who hopes to make some contributions to mankind.
All of you present are my seniors. Logically speaking, I have no right to speak here.
But since I have been mentioned, I will say a few words briefly. First, I propose to form a larger expeditionary army to deal with possible wars in the future.
In addition, I propose to implement an emergency mobilization order in the coming time, and all registered monks from the foundation building stage to the integration stage will unconditionally participate in a three-month military training."
"What, emergency mobilization order, three months of military training?"
As soon as Wang Xu opened his mouth, someone raised questions and asked: "Congressman Wang Xu, do you know how many monks there are in the entire Cultivation Alliance? Do you know what the consequences will be if all members are mobilized?"
"Yes, war is a matter of soldiers. I have no objection to expanding the expeditionary force's establishment. Mobilizing all members would be too exaggerated."
"I agree. The mobilization meeting has made people panic. We haven't even seen the shadow of mechanical civilization. There is no need to make such a big fanfare."
"I also think this matter should be given more consideration. Currently, the ratio of the number of expeditionary legions to the population is maintained at 60:1. For every 60 monks, one has joined the expeditionary army. I don't think it would be better to increase the number of expeditionary legions like this.
Expand it by two times and reduce the ratio to 20:1. I think this kind of force should be enough, right?"
There was a lot of discussion among the congressmen. They did not oppose the expansion of the army, but they did not agree with the full mobilization plan.
Wang Xu saw everything in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Are you too optimistic? The mechanical civilization is as powerful as ours. This is a decisive battle with the fate of the two races on the line, and no failure is allowed.
There are no less than a thousand high-tech warships in the mechanical civilization with combat power comparable to the Mahayana period. Their strength is not comparable to that of the Totem Clan and the Giant Elephant Clan. If all personnel are not mobilized, they will only rely on the expanded expeditionary force.
, are you confident in defeating each other?"
"Out of a thousand Titan warships, only 300 can hammer stone. The remaining 700 are just the imagination of the elves. Who knows if there are so many mechanical civilizations?
Mobilizing all employees is not as simple as talking about it. Once implemented, it will easily cause social panic. I will not agree to your proposal to mobilize all employees before getting accurate information."
"Neither can I. This is ridiculous."
"Second, the full mobilization order can only be activated in times of crisis. It is too early now."
A hundred thousand years of invincibility have made humankind's self-confidence unprecedentedly high.
Even though Wang Xu brought back a Titan battleship and allowed these congressmen to see the tip of the iceberg of mechanical civilization, they still did not believe that mechanical civilization would be more powerful than cultivation civilization.
As for the memory crystals of the elves, these councilors find them unconvincing.
The elves are too weak and not as powerful as the totem tribe that surrendered before. Humans also have the strength to destroy the elves in their heyday in a short period of time, even better than the mechanical civilization.
The destruction of the elves is not enough to explain anything.
Human beings are the best hunters in this era, and many people think it is completely unnecessary to mobilize all the people for the sake of some lost dogs.
"Mechanical civilization is an opponent on the same level as humans. If we underestimate the opponent, we will only suffer heavy losses. Especially the racial characteristics of the opponent. To a certain extent, the war potential is higher than that of humans. If we cannot
If we defeat our opponents in the early stages, we will be the only ones to lose in the later stages.”
Wang Xu stood up from his position and said seriously: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Congressman Zhang Qiming. After the Titan battleship was returned to the ancestral planet, he received his analysis immediately."
Councilor Zhang Qiming is the backbone of the weapon refining department and the person who leads the work of cracking the Titan battleship.
Hearing Wang Xu's words, Zhang Qiming also stood up and said: "After my preliminary research, the Titan battleship is just an assembly line product. It was given life by an existence called Skynet with the source of fire, the treasure of mechanical civilization.
This means that as long as there are resources, this kind of battleship energy will continue to be produced.
Here, I would like to add that the history of mechanical civilization is far shorter than we think, and the trajectory of the other side's civilization does not exceed 30,000 years.
In other words, in 30,000 years, mechanical civilization has achieved what we have achieved in 100,000 years, and the war potential is really extraordinary."
"Impossible. The main gun fire of the Titan battleship is comparable to the full blow of a Mahayana monk. If the other party could produce unlimited production, they would have unified the universe long ago. I don't believe they will be that strong. Zhang Qiming, these words are not colluded between you and him
Okay?" Some congressmen protested, not believing that there is such a race.
Zhang Qiming frowned slightly and said, "What is collusion? This is the result of my data analysis. You don't have to believe me, but you can't deny big data."
"Big data? Huh, who doesn't know that your eldest brother is a military boss and a war monk? Of course you support the mobilization order and the implementation of military control."
A congressman who had issues with Zhang Qiming's faction hid in the crowd and muttered something.
Upon hearing such a statement, the expressions of all the congressmen present changed slightly.
If the full mobilization order is implemented, there is no doubt that the strength of the military will be greatly increased.
Originally, the faction responsible for running the military headquarters was headed by Flying Swords and Weapon Refining. If the military control system were implemented, everyone present would be left behind.
"Who is slandering people? This is simply nonsense." Zhang Qiming became furious and banged the table.
"Quiet, this is the Cultivation Council, not your own home."
The leader of the Fu Lu faction who was in charge of presiding over the parliament glanced at everyone present with dissatisfaction. After everyone calmed down, he said: "Now let's vote on whether to support Congressman Wang Xu's arms expansion plan."
brush brush brush
More than half of the congressmen raised their hands. Although some people did not support the mobilization order, they still supported the arms expansion plan.
To fight a war, men are needed. The apparent strength of mechanical civilization is enough to make people fearful, so the number of expeditionary legions must be expanded.
"Proposal No. 1 has been passed, and now we will start voting on Proposal No. 2, whether to support the all-staff mobilization plan proposed by Representative Wang Xu."
swipe
Only less than one-third of the people raised their hands this time, led by the three meridians of Flying Sword, Qi Lian, and Corpse Lian.
After glancing at everyone's expressions, the leader of the Fu Lu Sect, the Fu Lu Patriarch among the Eight Elites of Cultivation, knocked down the council's decision hammer: "Proposal rejected".m.
