In the cabin of the ferry boat, 'Yang Ming' calmly returned to his seat, took out his speech and began to study it by himself.
At this moment, Yang Ming was sure that Li was definitely not the so-called "playing by ear" and adapting to circumstances. She had planned everything in advance; or, by calculating various possibilities, she had a glimpse of the timeline that was now moving forward.
Logically speaking, both she and Levi had reached the other side, that is, they had reached the high-dimensional world, but they were stopped by the Fayans;
Then, it is reasonable for Li to have many abilities that Xiaolu's classmates don't know about.
This high-end omnic stand-in robot is really exquisite.
It has the same weight as the main body and the same skin condition, and simulates the feeling of "a strong warrior walking cautiously" to the greatest extent. It has strong maneuverability, even in small-scale battles, it can not reveal its nature.
Facts about stand-in robots.
Even the simulated vocal cords of this thing have been adjusted to a flawless degree.
What's even more outrageous is that Daphne helped match Yang Ming's outfit, and the stand-in robot was actually wearing the same military uniform and leather boots. Yang Ming only had to put the knight commander badge on the stand's chest and he was done.
All disguises have been eliminated. There are dozens of styles of imperial military uniforms.
"cough!"
'Yang Ming' cleared his throat, and the guard on the side immediately looked over.
"Your Majesty, please give us your orders."
"It's okay," 'Yang Ming' said calmly, "I'm just a little nervous...well, nervous. As you know, the next speech will be given to all imperial officers and will also affect the empire's acceptance to a certain extent.
The internal environment down here is quite stressful for me.”
Both guards showed unfailing admiration.
One person said: "Your contribution to the empire far exceeds the honors and rewards you receive. Sir, please don't be nervous. All the soldiers in the army are proud to listen to your instructions."
"My hometown was plagued by insects. It was you who arrived at the critical moment and saved my family and tribe. Sir, if you have any instructions, please tell us. I will die for you!"
"Oh, young man," 'Yang Ming' said with a smile, "you should live for this country, not die for me. You should be loyal to the army, not to me personally."
"This is not loyalty, but faith! My lord!"
Yang Ming smiled and patted the man's arm, and said warmly: "Okay, go and have a rest, I will board the ship soon."
The two guards made a military salute and then stood upright back in the corner.
‘Yang Ming’ continued to study the speech in front of him.
In the bathroom, Yang Ming, who was wearing a sensory helmet, had a new speech from the haircut in front of him.
Yang Ming laughed and did not read the short essay written by Li.
The Prime Minister is not a qualified leader, and this kind of new federal election-style speech has no meaning on the empire's side.
【I have my own plan.】
Yang Ming wrote a line of words in the air.
The manager immediately stopped delivering the speech and sent back a 'yes' hand gesture.
Her plan is moving forward in an orderly manner.
Yang Ming controlled the stand-in robot, calmly left the shuttle bus, and entered the waiting special protection ship. The prince and elders who had been waiting for a long time came forward to greet him warmly.
Facing the imperial prince, Yang Ming did not give him a good look.
From now on, these princes will be nothing more than princes on free wages, the kind who have to report to the Royal Administration Bureau if they want to leave the Emperor Star;
As for these three elders who had some legislative power, Yang Ming was even too lazy to pay attention to them.
The former chief elders of the Presbytery were all directly forced to death by him. These people were considered 'leftovers' from the past. Whenever Yang Ming smiled at them, they had to consider whether the white ghost was grinding his teeth.
Yang Ming nodded, found a seat in a corner, and continued to study the speech.
The prince and the elders did not feel embarrassed and continued to talk and laugh together according to their previous rhythm.
'What is the ultimate goal of reason?'
Yang Ming kept thinking in his heart.
At this stage, his communication with Lu has not been cut off, and he can occasionally receive feedback from Lu.
The venue for the live broadcast is ready.
Imperial soldiers located in various military ports, various ships, various planetary defense force surface stations, and various special security positions have already assembled early, waiting for the appearance of the white ghost.
Next, Yang Ming just needs to show up;
But today, it is destined not to be peaceful.
At 10:02 a.m. on the Imperial Star, White Phantom Hanton arrived at the command ship Glory Prince.
This news spread rapidly on various information dissemination channels such as social platforms and public opinion media.
Because Yang Ming arrived at the command ship early, he got twenty minutes of rest.
However, before Boss Yang could enter the rest room, he was stopped by Daphne who came in a hurry.
"Hanton!"
Daphne looked a little nervous.
Yang Ming calmly made a silent gesture and pointed to the lounge: "Let's go in and talk."
"Yes," Daphne nodded immediately, holding Yang Ming's arm and entering together.
The four combat maids following her immediately moved forward to guard the front and rear passages, and Da Wa thoughtfully turned on the shielding device.
"Listen to me, Hanton," Daphne's eyes were a little bloodshot and her expression was very solemn, "Today's speech should be cancelled. You shouldn't come here rashly. I just sent it out to prevent you from coming.
All my information has been intercepted by them, and they won’t let me leave here.”
"They? Who?"
"The four elders of the military," Daphne said, "There are hundreds of warships nearby, most of which are directly under their direct control, and two formations were transferred over overnight. They are trying to harm you!
Hanton!”
"I'm not going to die, Daphne."
Yang Ming said warmly: "Have you forgotten? I can use cell regeneration technology to survive. It only takes a while."
"No, Hanton, you shouldn't take this risk!"
Daphne said:
"We will go back immediately. With your strength, we should be able to leave safely. We will return to the Emperor Star immediately and apply for asylum to my uncle.
"At this moment, they don't care about the so-called public opinion. They can. They can use the lame excuse of an empire being infiltrated by foreign forces to cover up their attacks on you! Them!"
"Daphne! Look at me!"
Yang Ming held Daphne's delicate arm, and their eyes were entangled with each other.
Yang Ming felt a little unbearable in his heart, lowered his head and moved forward.
Daphne thought Yang Ming was going to kiss him. Although it was inappropriate at the moment, she could not refuse the request of her beloved man and closed her eyes slightly.
The tip of Yang Ming's nose took the initiative to rub the tip of her nose, and the safe electric current that was enough to cause coma was quietly released. Daphne opened her eyes, and then her body fell backward, and Yang Ming held her back.
'This silly princess.'
Yang Ming shook his head.
Yang Ming, who was hiding in the shuttle bus bathroom, said: "Let her return to the Emperor Star safely."
A line of small words appeared in front of Yang Ming's eyes:
[If the imperial singer dies here, it will trigger an even greater tsunami of public opinion. 】
"I don't need to use this method to achieve my goal."
[Yes, you have the qualifications. All you need is ten to twenty galactic years of development time. Mechanical civilization can sweep across the galaxy. I hope she will not cause us more trouble. There is nothing about it in my original plan.
Consideration of Daphne’s subsequent impact.]
"Thanks."
Yang Ming whispered, helped Daphne to the sofa nearby, and called the eldest baby and the second baby in.
He doesn't need to worry too much about the rest, he will take care of arranging everything.
All that needs to be done now is to wait for the speech time to come.
Yang Ming raised his hand and adjusted the operating interface of the sensing helmet, adding a simple countdown within his line of sight. Then he held his breath and stared quietly ahead.
If fate can be traced, then the fate of hundreds of billions of human beings has begun to converge towards this small cabin.
Yang Ming thought of the game background when he played "Abyss".
At that time, due to the continuous insect plagues and the continuous pursuit and interception by the two camps of freedom and democracy, the empire's national power declined, the external plunder mechanism failed, the empire's overall development declined, social problems became more and more acute, rebels sprang up everywhere, and the army mutinied.
happens sometimes.
The current empire, because of the early intervention of the White Ghost, has eliminated the hidden danger of the insect plague, and has beaten the New Federation to the point where it cannot lift its head. Although there are many domestic problems, because the empire's external plundering mechanism is operating healthily, class conflicts are constantly being squeezed out by the officialdom.
The benefits are suppressed and diluted.
Historical trends appear to be irreversible.
Yang Ming couldn't help but think about it at this moment.
The Fayans have formulated the rules of the game in the galaxy, so are the fates of various political systems in the galaxy also under the calculations of the Fayans?
Or maybe the Faya people only observe and predict, but cannot really interfere too strongly with the complex collective of the material world?
High-dimensional world.
The reason why the empire has such a system is rooted in the personal ideals of the founding emperor Levi Sherman.
Individual dimension improvement.
Individual dimension improvement at all costs.
How does Levi Sherman, who uses the imperial system to efficiently integrate resources and use methods inherited from tens of thousands of years to meet his own needs, have anything to do with greatness?
Of course, to put it another way, Levi Sherman is called forging ahead, while Yang Ming’s mentality most of the time is a ‘this is okay’ type of messing around.
There is no other way. The concept of not endangering the safety and interests of others is considered a basic quality for the youth of the earth.
'Is this a manifestation of a backward form of civilization?'
Yang Ming felt that this was not necessarily the case...
Boom, boom.
knocking.
Yang Ming stopped his racing thoughts, 'Yang Ming' straightened his collar, stood up slowly, and nodded to the big baby.
Daphne slept soundly on the sofa.
When he walked out of this door, waiting for Yang Ming were two teams of energetic honor guards.
Along the red carpet spread on the ground, Yang Ming walked towards the command ship's 'studio'. Warm applause erupted in front of him. Dozens of noble officers who had been waiting for a long time were applauding vigorously.
Yang Ming raised his hand and waved, and received a less than enthusiastic response from these noble officers who were not on the front line.
There is nothing to argue about.
This place is about to turn into a sea of fire, and the more than 1,800 people on this ship will become victims of the plan.
Yang Ming walked to the podium with a smile and nodded slightly.
He wasn't sure whether he could finish today's speech, and at this moment, he already felt the attention from all corners of the galaxy.
The spotlight that does not dazzle brings light;
The shooting floating ball that had been prepared for a long time moved symbolically.
The on-site director, who looked hundreds of times more nervous than Yang Ming, made a gesture of invitation to Yang Ming;
Dozens of noble officers who serve as the audience here, as well as the princes, elders, generals, and officials who sit on the steps behind Yang Ming as a backdrop, are all watching Yang Ming's figure at this moment, waiting for an inspirational event.
Speech on the human heart.
Yang Ming clasped his hands behind his back, his expression relatively relaxed, and then there was a silence that lasted for thirty seconds.
He seemed to be lowering his head and thinking about something, or waiting for something.
Finally, when the technician couldn't help but check whether there was something wrong with the instrument, Yang Ming said:
"They asked me to tame you."
In the palace, the old emperor sat listlessly in his chair. His enthusiasm was severely frustrated. His eyes widened and he sat upright.
The human beings waiting quietly behind various communication devices had their eyes widened at this moment. They had a premonition that this seemed to be no ordinary speech.
In the virtual conference room, the expressions of the old people waiting for Yang Ming to speak changed slightly.
"Cut off live broadcast!"
"This Hanton, he really wants to take the opportunity to challenge us and the Sherman family!"
"What's going on? The live broadcast cannot be cut off, our control program has been modified... We lost contact with the Prince! Damn it! How did he do it!"
"Start the Imperial Guard system! Hurry! You can also activate Imperial Guard 2.0! Hurry up! We have been fooled!"
"Ino! Make a difference!"
Director Ino frowned tightly, then cut off his communication and rushed to the communication base next door to the laboratory.
There is a professional team there.
In the command ship of the Prince, Yang Ming raised his head slightly, looked at the astonished expressions of the noble officers below, and sighed softly in his heart.
When he puts on the sensory helmet, he will feel inexplicably more confident.
No one can stop him, because at this moment, and perhaps only at this moment, the core soul of the empire's structure, Levi Sherman's greatest reliance, the mechanical thinking system, is on his side.
So, said the ghost.
…
"They asked me to tame you.
"I will instill in you some thoughts that the empire is invincible, the empire is great, and it is a blessing for you untouchables to be born in the empire.
“I got this speech yesterday, and it’s only today that I can breathe out the breath I’ve been holding in...
“Fuck formalism, bureaucratic capitalism, and imperial hegemony!
"I'm not crazy.
"You don't have to worry about my mental state being affected or being bewitched by someone.
"I am Hanton, the white ghost, the hero of the empire and the nightmare of the imperial nobles.
"Before this conflict broke out, I always thought that the empire could be saved, just because there was something wrong with the system. But as I learned more and more about the real history, I realized that the empire was hopeless.
"The empire has implemented a constitutional monarchy a long time ago. The emperor has become a symbol and uses a cabinet for political management. However, this cabinet is unknown because he is hidden in the shadow of imperial power. His name is Xie
The elite and powerful faction of the Mann family.
"In the corner that we can't see, there is a virtual round table. The old people sitting on the round table are all three or four hundred years old. They first use their bodies to extend their lifespan as much as possible. When their bodies are fully
After it was broken, he uploaded his consciousness to the server, and then continued to control a lifeline of the empire until his self-consciousness collapsed, passing this lifeline to his descendants.
"When I first came into contact with the empire, I felt... Well, this empire is not bad. The imperial power is bound to the Emperor Star, the empire is constantly restraining the nobles, and the empire is in awe of its people.
"But when I got to the core of the empire, I discovered that those lies were just fabricated to maintain the internal stability of the empire.
"The Empire fears no one.
"Tens of thousands of years of inheritance have given the Sherman family unparalleled wealth. They pushed the emperor out and made the emperor their spokesperson. By the way, they imprisoned the emperor in the Emperor Star to publicize it to the outside world. Look, we here respect public opinion.
, the emperor who obeys the will of the people has no real power at all.
"Then what?
"The legislative power lies in the House of Elders. The real power positions of these elders come from aristocratic families that have been passed down for many years, and these aristocratic families are vassals and followers of the Sherman family.
"The army is more thoroughly controlled, and those who are disobedient are eliminated early. The generals who are truly talented and courageous and obey their orders will only get an honorary title in the end, and then wait for the war in the army. After the war is won, they have accumulated
Merit, but it doesn't mean you can be promoted if you have enough merit, but you have to wait for age.
"So you will find that the generals of the empire usually retire after being promoted for a few years.
"This is how they control the military.
"Today's live broadcast, I shouldn't have said this to you, because...despair, what I see here is just despair. The empire is essentially an exploitative machine, and this machine continues to gather resources into the Emperor Star Circle and to
The nobles of the empire transfer wealth and make these nobles drunken and dreamy. They consume 40% of the resources of the empire with only one ten thousandth of the population of the empire.
"Then what? What do we get?
"What the people can get is the pride of being in the most powerful political system in the galaxy, the nerves that are numbed bit by bit by the Sherman family, and the thoughts that are twisted bit by bit. You could have enjoyed more resources.
Get more respect!
"You could have given young people more opportunities for promotion! Let most people live a decent existence through hard work, instead of like now!
"The remote areas of the empire have a huge population of hundreds of billions, but what next? Do these people have the opportunity to transcend the current class? No, most people don't!
"When I first went to Sakaar back then, I just thought it was a famine planet, a planet that had experienced war. In fact, it was not. It was just weakened because of the exploitation of the imperial nobles and the capital of the Imperial Star Circle.
And weakened.
“There are actually many people starving to death there!
"When I was on Yaha Star, I saw countless times, young men and women sitting in despair on the streets. They could not see the direction of the future or the way forward. They could only continue to kill their ideals and let them go.
You bow your head to reality, lower your expectations for life, and become a screw and a hermit crab in the harsh social system.
"What else makes me feel hopeless?
"And you, my compatriots, my dear people.
"You no longer desire basic freedom, you turn a blind eye to the tragic experience of the 60 billion slaves in the empire at this stage, and you can always find some self-paralysis reasons to escape from the actions of the empire's nobles.
“But have you ever thought about whether you are willing to let your descendants experience the life you are living now?
"Forget it, it's useless to say this. I'm not blaming you. Everyone has the right to pursue a better life. I also know that the current empire is like a dark cloud. When they don't press on the people's heads, the people
It is impossible to really resist the system of the empire.
“But, are we going to remain indifferent to what the Sherman family elite is doing?
"The resources are occupied by them, the power is blocked by them, and the ascending channels are in their hands. They have designated 60% of the empire as a blood-sucking land. They secretly maintain the interests of the nobles to prevent them from losing their control of power.
Take control.
"Your descendants are just their slaves!
"The only difference is whether they are high-class slaves who are close to independent human rights, or low-class slaves who are deprived of the rights to normal life.
"Yes, there is nothing you can do because the power of the empire has nothing to do with the people.
"But at this moment, the Imperial soldiers who can hear my call, you should remember... you must remember! If one day, when you feel that the order you received is not in the interests of the Empire, it is not in line with your own interests.
For core values, just ask your superiors.
"Is this an order from the Sherman family?
"Okay everyone, I can only say this much today, because this ship is about to be destroyed. They planted the bomb in advance, and what I can do is to interfere with the live broadcast signal in advance so that I can
On this occasion, in this form, I would like to talk to you about these topics.
"When my body is blown up, please don't be angry, because anger alone cannot defeat these enemies.
"My faith will not be destroyed, and my ideals will not be melted.
"This is my last chance to tell you this in the near future. After you lower your heads, please live a good life and don't worry about gains and losses. The empire has existed for tens of thousands of years. This situation cannot be followed by one or two parades, one or two
The death of an earl improved the situation.
"I hope you can think and find the path to truly liberate yourself.
"Empires do not last forever.
"If the revolution needs blood, then I am willing to be a blood donor.
"I will not really die. I have completed the transformation of the ancient gods. I can use some high-dimensional world technology to be reborn, but it will take some time.
"The one who died here today was the White Ghost, the hero of the empire.
"I will come back one day, back here, back in front of you, back to this human civilization polity called the Sherman Empire. By then, I hope to hear someone call me Comrade Hanton instead of
