Chapter 78 Until Death
"...the dilapidated shipyard has once again been repaired and adjusted, and the once-dormant Titan ship assembly plant has come back online. The entire galaxy is paying attention to the same question: when this once-sleeping giant decides to restore its old glory, who will become
Where is the first mantis who used his arms as a chariot?"
Gray Feng shook his head and read out the promotional slogan for the latest galactic blockbuster "Awakening Empire", seeming to like this description very much.
The speculative businessmen would not let go of such a major event that affected the entire galaxy, and worked overtime to produce similar blockbusters in their respective civilizations:
A sleeping ancient civilization once again announced its existence to the world, and the young civilizations shared the same hatred, formed the Galactic Federation, and launched a fierce war with the ancient civilization. The epic feeling was extremely strong.
The ending of the movie naturally climaxes with the repentance and sacrifice of the unfriendly civilization, the struggle of the friendly civilization, and the protagonist's civilization's efforts to turn the tide, sweeping the arrogant old antique into the garbage heap of history.
Li Wenyuan was a little dumbfounded by this, but he didn't say much. He just looked at the territory of the "Watcher" in the star map that began to expand.
Not long ago, the "Watchers" sent a message to the entire galaxy that they would restore the ancient authority, crush all unbelievers in their path, and find the criminal who desecrated the Holy Land.
But for now, they have not encountered any opponents. The Milky Way is still very large, and it will take a long time before their frontier touches the first interstellar civilization.
However, the vassal civilizations of the "Watchers" are different. They became active when their overlord country decided to expand, and they felt like pawns.
The "Watchmen" don't count on their activities, but they still feel they should do something.
Although they have neither "ancient hatred" nor "eternal enemies", if they just want a war, it's easy to find excuses.
So the Milky Way, which had not been calm for long, became turbulent again.
"...I hope this incident will stop soon." Li Wenyuan sincerely hoped that the Milky Way would be peaceful, because he had many ruins that he had not yet finished digging, and he did not want the generally peaceful Milky Way to become chaotic.
If the war affects him, he may have to get involved, and then his relic excavation efficiency will be greatly reduced.
But not all civilizations in the galaxy share his hopes, and there are many speculators and conspirators.
Either for revenge or for resources, various frictions are provoked, and the situation is gradually transitioning to instability.
…
The Sovereign State of Segurius is an interstellar civilization that pursues xenophobia.
From the moment they looked at the starry sky, they firmly believed that the universe was not that cold. Even the expansion of the universe could not draw away every civilization's heart from each other.
Even though some people look down upon their naivety, it is undeniable that the enthusiasm of Segulius' sovereign state has indeed infected many civilizations.
Even a **** will ask himself from the bottom of his heart when he wants to take action against them: "Why do we do this? Is it just to satisfy our desire for expansion and plunder?"
They can say they have many friends, or they can say they have no friends at all.
A relationship maintained solely by passion is far less stable than a relationship maintained by interests, but at least the sovereign state of Segulius is satisfied with the status quo.
They believe that as long as they continue to love each other forever, they will be able to form a "Galaxy Family" sooner or later.
"Leader! We found an unowned pirate ship loaded with minerals at the border!" The leader of the Sovereign Kingdom of Segulius was still handling official duties when he heard the news from his assistant, and he immediately showed a happy expression.
"Is this the Milky Way repaying our kindness? We are really short of this resource now. Let's unload the minerals from it!"
He gave instructions to his assistant, but after a while, a somewhat sad voice came from over there:
"... I just passed by a Qien Empire's spaceship. They were about to leave, but they suddenly turned back and said that the ship was theirs... But we didn't find any trace of the Qien Empire on it?"
When the leader heard this aggrieved voice, he was silent for a while and then said comfortingly:
"It doesn't matter. Since it belongs to them, just give it back to them. It's good to make a friend."
"But……"
"You work very hard. Let me grant you a paid leave. During this time, you can go to the vacation planet for a while and have a good rest."
The leader blocked the assistant's mouth with generous paid leave, but before leaving, the assistant still asked doubtfully:
"Leader, why do we always give in so much? Can't we be tougher like other civilizations?"
The leader was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "...If there is an absolute moral law in our society, it is 'Embrace the stars with a smile'. The Milky Way is long, and the birth of every civilization is unique. As long as we persist
If you go on, sooner or later you will be understood by everyone."
His words were full of good hopes for the future. Even his assistant was infected by this emotion and said seriously:
"I understand, and I will continue to follow this path from now on!"
The assistant's understanding made the leader deeply gratified, and this once again strengthened his path of spreading enthusiasm.
A few days later, the leader, who was still busy with official duties, suddenly received an "abnormal notice" from experts from the Ministry of Science.
"The signal to the vacation galaxy was interrupted?" He frowned in a rare way, and then quickly asked: "What's going on?"
"Leader, it seems that someone has blocked external communications there. The Self-Defense Ministry has sent a fleet to check."
"Could it be pirates? If they are pirates, be careful not to ask the Self-Defense Ministry to attack them. Pirates usually ask for money, and they will give them as much as they want. It would be great if they can spend money to eliminate disasters..."
Although the leader said this to the experts, he still had a strange premonition in his heart at this moment, and he always felt that something very bad was about to happen.
After thinking about it, he felt it was still not enough, so he sent another message to the Self-Defense Ministry, asking them to hurry up and get there.
Then he sat back at his work desk. He couldn't calm down no matter what. His anxiety made him extremely uneasy, and he looked at the communication equipment aside every few seconds.
Suddenly, there was movement from the communication equipment, and the leader rushed over and answered instantly:
"Hello? How are you? Are they pirates? How much do they want?"
However, the sound on the other end was very noisy, with sharp whistling and explosions passing by from time to time, and various cries and screams filling the background.
He immediately realized something was wrong, looked at the message on the communicator, and realized it was the call from his assistant who was on leave.
"Hey, hey! Are you okay? What's going on over there? What's going on on the vacation planet?"
He asked several questions in succession, but never received an answer, which made his bad premonition grow stronger.
After a long time, the assistant heard a weak voice, as if he had been seriously injured and was about to die:
"... Leader, I see that there is light in the sky - a very bright beam of light that is about to arrive here... Should I also embrace it?"
These were the assistant's last words. The next moment, there was only a series of noisy beeps in the communicator, as if something hit there, causing the life on the other side to enter another world forever.
The leader's pupils shrank sharply, and he began to call frantically for the holiday galaxy, but all he received was noise.
Finally, it was the Self-Defense Ministry's spacecraft that connected the communication. They arrived at the holiday galaxy and understood what happened there.
"...Leader, I need to tell you some sad news...the vacation planet was blown to pieces without any life signals..."
At this moment, the leader seemed to have lost all his strength and fell limply to the ground.
His excessive movements even knocked over the ink on his desk.
Like blood, the red liquid infected the documents on the table, and the lines of text representing "foreign pro-foreignness" became blurred like the leader's gradually cold heart.
