Resurrection Empire

After all, there is no answer for a heavy task.

He can leave some aspects of scientific research work to other smart people in the fleet and Source Star.

But when it comes to time and space and his biggest resurrection secret, after Sun Miao's death, he has no one to talk to and can only do it himself.

It's not just that he can't trust others, it's that this matter involves too much. Both the empire and the psychic demons have telekinesis masters who can spy on people's memories. If one more person knows, there will be more risks of exposure.

As long as he himself is immune to psychological scrutiny, the risk of exposure will always be 0. But even if there is only one more person, even if the risk of exposure becomes only one in a billion, it is a qualitative change from nothing.

Ren Zhong still hasn't completely shared memories with Sun Ai, which is why he confessed the truth.

Sometimes he would regret it. If he had known earlier, he would have woken up halfway and talked to Brother Sun in person before he died, and talked about everything.

Maybe Sun Miao couldn't give any effective advice, but at least it would be helpful for him to talk about it, relieve his stress, and leave no regrets.

It's a pity that time passes and we can never go back to the past.

The two never had a grand farewell, only a letter spanning several years.

Although this kind of farewell is free and heroic, it always makes people feel regretful.

It can only be said that no one's life can be perfect.

It wasn't until he lost the ability to resurrect that Ren Zhong began to feel more clearly that the passage of time could not be traced back.

…

After returning to the Tracer spacecraft, the important generals Isu Locke, Liang Qifa, Zheng Dafa, Gao Ya, Tang Youyun, Donald Yalson, Vincent Van Hoy and Xiao Xing, who was regularly awakened to supervise the work of the Legal Department, Yue summoned his office.

Including himself, these nine people are the nine most powerful people currently awake on the fleet.

He has a new decision that needs to be discussed with everyone.

As usual, he will first express his own opinions, then let the people below discuss it individually, and finally he will make the final decision.

In non-wartime management, Ren Zhong is willing to use such democratic centralism, which can not only ensure execution, but also avoid heavy losses caused by his own misjudgments as much as possible.

Of course, once wartime management enters, Ren Zhong will not hesitate to switch from democratic centralism to Yiyantang. It can be said that he is headstrong, or he chooses to shoulder all the responsibilities alone. Anyway, so far, he has never missed it.

"There are still four years and eleven months until we reach the edge of the Black Mist Zone. The current situation is as follows..."

"Nanxiang Bo Liu An has dispatched a special service fleet and promised to perform escort work for us."

"The following is the relevant information about Nanxiang Bo Liu An that I found on the public network in accordance with the permission and authorization of the imperial decree."

Liu An, recognized as one of the strongest counts in the empire, has great military exploits and is cold-blooded and ruthless.

Some earls are good at business and have the ability to know people well.

Some counts are good at production. In order to improve the production efficiency of their companies, these counts even purchased gene editing technology from the Royal Academy of Sciences to compile the talents of their populations according to production needs. At certain stages, fully mechanized and artificially intelligent automatic assembly lines represent higher efficiency, but in certain specific industries and specific production needs, there are a large number of habitable planets brought about by planetary transformation technology. Human labor determined by population is also cheap, high-quality, and extremely cost-effective. In the Empire, human life is not valuable.

There are also counts who are good at scientific research, very good at overall planning, and have a deep cooperative relationship with the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Of course, most earls follow the middle path and mainly live their lives.

As for Liu An, he was quite ambitious, fighting with iron and blood, and resorting to military force.

He decided that he had no other talents, so he went all the way to the dark side in pursuit of military exploits, using all possible means.

In addition to his strong military command abilities, Liu An also purchased targeted gene compilation services from the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Under the subtle guidance of thousands of years, humans in the entire Nanxiang Star Cluster have branched off to the side on the evolutionary branch.

In Liu An's fiefdom, except for the nobles and a few civilians with special talent reserves, most civilians have the irritable and irritable gene mixed into their innate genes.

The people of the Nanxiang Star Cluster can be said to be tough and chivalrous. Most of them will draw their guns at each other if they disagree with each other. They want to fight you to the death or death, and they are extremely martial.

As for other areas that are not Liu An's fiefdoms, they are slightly better, but they are still obviously affected by the personnel exchanges and genetic exchanges that have lasted for thousands of years, and they are also quite martial and useless.

The benefits that such a social atmosphere brings to Liu An are obvious. He can always obtain high-quality soldiers, and these soldiers are particularly fanatical on the battlefield. Once taken advantage of, they are not afraid of death.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, there will always be some extremists in the Nanxiang Star Cluster who would rather die than be restrained. They are extremely difficult to control and become space pirates, disturbing the planet, plundering resources, and blocking business roads.

Liu An has the troops to quickly wipe out the space pirates. With the help of the Imperial Supernet, this is not difficult.

However, so far, the space pirates have remained active, only to be periodically surrounded by Liu An's bandit-suppressing fleet and forced into battle as battlefield death squads. Liu An will promise that if these pirates can establish military exploits, they will be pardoned, and they can even be appointed as a special warfare fleet with extremely high autonomy, and they will be supported by delicious food and abundant resources.

This is the current situation of Nanxiang Star Cluster.

After the general introduction was completed, Ren Zhong couldn't help but think that for the sake of one person's military exploits, he had to shape the personalities of tens of millions of people on thousands of planets into what he wanted, so that it changed the atmosphere of the entire star cluster civilization. Praise Liu An for his generous words.

Ren Zhong tapped the table lightly, "You can see the relevant information about the Nanxiang Star Cluster here. I will state my position first, and then you will analyze it individually."

After a pause, Ren Zhong said again: "Before, we only had indirect contact with Liu An through Nanjiu Viscount Southgate Augustus. He once gave us a sentence, and I still remember it very clearly.' They Not worthy,' these were Liu An's exact words. Now, he has dispatched a convoy. Facts have proved that we are worthy after all."

"But maybe we are too good for each other. I have some doubts in my heart. In addition, there are a large number of fragmented space pirates in the Nanxiang star cluster. I think this is Uncle Nanxiang's strategy to raise poison. He doesn't care about those who were burned, killed, robbed and tortured. The civilians are even more coveted by the bloodthirsty soldiers who fought in the space pirate career."

"Liu An's temperament can be seen clearly. Now, I hope you will each take a stand, analyze and speculate on what mission Liu An's special service fleet came with, what identity it is, how should we respond, and whether we should trust them. It's better to make your own plan. Think for ten minutes first, then enter the document, and then raise your hands to speak from front to back, starting with Ys Locke. During the process of individual analysis, exchange of opinions is prohibited. I want to hear each of you's own thoughts. What you say must be fully consistent with your document, and your opinions must not change because of what others have said.”

After finishing speaking, Ren Zhong stopped talking and just closed his eyes to rest.

Others lowered their heads and wrote quickly.

Half an hour later, everyone finished their presentation.

Ys Locke, Vincent Van Hoy and Xiao Xingyue believe that Liu An is very dangerous and must be carefully guarded. It is not an exaggeration to even directly regard him as a hostile relationship. The fleet should not enter the black fog area as Liu An ordered, but should even take a detour around the olive-shaped black fog area. Even if it only takes five years to cross 0.25 light-years to go straight through the black fog area, and it takes eighteen years to cross 1.8 light-years to take a detour, it is still worth it. Ys Locke even more clearly stated that after collecting a large amount of the explosion remnants of the C1915 star, the fleet's reserve nuclear fusion energy is enough to support such a detour.

Liang Qifa, Gao Ya and Tang Youyun believed that Liu An should be treated conservatively. The black fog area can be entered, but a high degree of vigilance must be maintained throughout the process.

Zheng Dafa and Donald Yalson felt that no matter what Liu An's temperament was, Ren Zhong was now the associate count and full viscount of the empire and was protected by the laws of the empire, so there was no need to worry.

Ren Zhong smiled and said: "Very good, my original intention is to let you use your brains. At the same time, I also hope that you will think about it for yourself first. When I announce my decision later, you will be able to roughly understand my true feelings. Intention. It doesn't matter if you say something wrong, the important thing is that this thinking process can make you grow."

"I will announce my decision first and take a detour. First, you can take another look at the star map of the Nanxiang star cluster. Although there are more than 3,400 stars and more than 16,000 planets in this star cluster. But the distribution of stars It is irregular, with more inside and less outside. Among them, 2,800 stars are close to the central area, and the other 600 or so are outside."

"Look at the idle planets that have not yet been developed. In fact, there are not many. If you count them, there are nearly a thousand stars. More than 500 of them are Liu An's fiefdom. The rest of the planets belong to many viscounts and barons. There are also many direct planets. A royal land belonging to the royal family. A relatively large proportion of the stars distributed in the outer layers are idle, and only some of the stars with a transportation network with jump channels have prosperous civilizations."

"This shows that the resources in the Nanxiang star cluster are actually limited. The core limited resource is not the radiation energy of the stars, but the carrying capacity represented by the jump channel. The difference between having a channel and not having a channel brings about transportation The convenience is worlds apart.”

"So, since the resources of the Nanxiang Star Cluster only appear to be unlimited, but are actually limited. Will Liu An, who has absolute power, continue to covet the slightly enfeoffed imperial planets in the central star region? What if I go and become an earl? , I will become his direct competitor and take away that part of what he sees as his own. Can he accept it?"

"Let's analyze Liu An's age and the distance between him and the Marquis, and then comprehensively analyze what Nanxiang Bo Liu An has been doing. We can conclude that we must take a detour, otherwise we will be dead!"

"Liu An sincerely despises us, thinking that we are colonists and looks down upon me. But I have become a quasi-count. Once I gain a foothold, there will be another count in the Nanxiang Star Cluster to compete with him. He It will not be able to bear it. One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. This is inevitable."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Ren Zhong is in a good mood.

Three of the eight core subordinates have views that are completely consistent with mine, which shows that they have really used their brains and made reasonable judgments.

Soon after everyone dispersed, Zheng Dafa, who was now in charge of the internal resource allocation cycle of the fleet, that is, in charge of commercial work, came back anxiously. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, "Your Majesty the Earl! I was wrong, I... …I was so naive! That’s really what I thought at the time.”

Ren Zhong stood up, walked to the desk, pulled Zheng Dafa up, and said angrily: "Why are you nervous? I didn't say I would remove you from your post. The real purpose of organizing this meeting is not just to test you." cognition, but more importantly, I want to cultivate you. Although Zheng Dafa, you are not smart, but you have done your duty over the years, and I have noticed it. Your loyalty is no problem, then I will naturally treat you and your future There are enough people to take care of you. Of course, it’s okay to be a happy man, but if your heir wants to be in a high position like you, he still has to rely on his ability to speak for himself. "

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Count." Zheng Dafa responded, bowed and walked back.

After Zheng Dafa left, Ren Zhong couldn't help but smile.

He knows that little people have their own way of survival.

This Zheng Dafa, like Ding Canghai, was once Wang Jinshou's lackey, and he was also a master dog who specialized in evil ideas. It was he who made the connection and encouraged Ding Canghai to assassinate Ren Zhong.

Ever since he abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side to rely on himself, he has been living a cautious life.

He also knew that he was stupid and could only pay more attention when encountering problems. He also took the opportunity to serve as Ju Qingmeng and Huo Donghua's deputy, as long as he could learn more.

Now Zheng Dafa has settled down on the fleet and has a family full of children and grandchildren. He is afraid that he will lose his trust because of a small mistake.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Xingyue arrived.

Having not met alone for a long time, Ren Zhong discovered that Xiao Xingyue had not aged much.

Although she has been active frequently over the years, her activity time is not very long each time, and she spends most of the time sleeping.

At this time, Xiao Xingyue was still wearing the white robe of a mentalist from the past, and she looked tall and slender.

When she looked at Ren Zhong, there was no longer as much gloom in her eyes as in the past, but instead there was more relief and guilt.

She sat on the chair in front of Ren Zhong's desk and sighed.

Ren Zhong looked at her hesitant expression and smiled: "Just say what you want to say, there is no need to hide it. We have known each other for more than a day or two."

Xiao Xingyue looked up at him and sighed: "Actually, before you showed me this information about Liu An, I had fantasies about the empire. I always thought that a civilization that has developed for tens of millions of years would never be able to If you are too backward and too barbaric, you should have some advanced ideas for civilized governance. Now that I think about it, I was naive. Although your decision was cruel and cold-blooded at the time, looking back now, it is helpless. Only in this way can at least a little bit of Source Star be preserved. The kind of fire can at least prove that so many people once existed in Yuan Star. Liu An is a terrible person. Through genetically directed compilation, the innate personalities of tens of trillions of people are changed, creating trillions of bloodthirsty and warlike fanatics. . Such a person has no bottom line at all. No matter what he does, there is no need to be surprised. He is just the tip of the dark iceberg of the empire. You understand, we know nothing."

Ren Zhong hummed and did not defend himself.

After a long time, Xiao Xingyue rubbed her temples and said, "I want to apologize to you. I'm sorry."

She spoke slowly, with sincerity written all over her face.

A smile appeared on Ren Zhong's face, "Thank you for your understanding, but the past has passed. I don't blame you. After all, according to normal thinking, who would have thought that a decadent and backward empire could survive for tens of millions of years? ?This is not common sense, but it does happen. There is always a reason for it, and I will try to find the reason."
