Chapter five hundred and eighty (fourteen painting students)
When the cart returned after a round trip, Zhou Sen bought some snacks such as peanut jerky and a few bottles of water and wine.
"Friend, come and have a drink with me!" Zhou Sen gently touched the young man next to him with his elbow.
"Are you sure?" The young man opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Sen.
"Of course." Zhou Sen smiled. He found that although this young man was haggard, his eyes were full of energy, his demeanor was calm, and he didn't feel any embarrassment at all.
"Thank you." The young man took the small wine bottle handed to him by Zhou Sen in a calm manner and took a sip. The expression on his face relaxed, as if he was savoring the mellow taste of the alcohol.
The two of them didn't speak, just drank in silence, occasionally touching the bottle in the air.
"If I don't speak, won't you take the initiative to talk to me?" the young man asked suddenly.
"What did you say?" Zhou Sen shrugged.
"Well, what are you talking about? We met by chance and there's really nothing to say."
"How about I talk about a topic."
"The wine is yours, the meat is yours, of course you bring up the topic!" The young man laughed heartily.
"Are you a refugee from the Xuanyuan Star Empire?" Zhou Sen asked.
"No, I live in the Roni Empire and came to the Xuanyuan Empire to do some business. There happened to be a war. Then, I was trapped on Xuanyuan Star. I finally paid a high price to get a ticket to leave Xuanyuan Star." The young man shook his head.
"People from the Ronnie Empire!" Zhou Sen felt an inexplicable kindness because he grew up in the Ronnie Empire.
"No, I just live in the Roni Empire and work as an administrator at the National Library of the Human Interstellar Federation Empire Government. I am not a citizen of the Roni Empire."
"Oh...then you are?"
"I am a citizen of the Human Interstellar Federation Empire!" the young man said with a serious expression.
"..." Zhou Sen opened his mouth without speaking. He discovered that this young man added the word "empire" when he called the human interstellar federal government. In other words, he regarded this government as an empire, not just a federal government.
.
Under the raging wars and armored giant cockroaches, more and more people in the five star regions have this idea of young people, and people are beginning to miss the era of the human interstellar federal government.
Initially, the disintegration of the five star regions was due to the fact that the human interstellar federal government focused on one thing at the expense of the other, which led to conflicts among the five empires and widespread complaints from the people. Against this background, the human interstellar federal government lost credibility and collapsed overnight.
Many people thought that once the political system became the five empires, some of the problems of the human interstellar federal government would be improved. However, what people did not expect was that the disintegration of the human interstellar federal government not only failed to solve any problems, but also
To make matters worse, the five empires launched a conquest. During this conquest, the armored giant cockroaches took advantage of the situation, causing the war to spread and destroying all lives.
The two of them drank wine and fell into a long silence.
"Do you have an ideal?"
"Not sure yet." Zhou Sen hesitated and said.
"Can you tell me?"
"Why don't you tell me first?" Zhou Sen said slowly.
"I hope to reestablish the human interstellar federation and empire government!" The young man said calmly.
"It's a bit difficult." Zhou Sen smiled bitterly. The country is like a mirror. Once it is divided, it will be very difficult to reunify. It is definitely not something that can be achieved by shouting a few slogans. In the history of mankind, there have been few national reunifications.
This time it wasn't like rivers of blood and corpses littered the fields.
The problem now is that it is not a problem of rebuilding the human interstellar federal government, but a problem of the five empires, because even if you defeat one of the empires, it is useless. In other words, if you want to rebuild the human interstellar federal government, you must get
The five empires agree that none of them can exist without one.
To get the leaders of the five empires to agree to rebuild the human interstellar federal government at the same time is as difficult as climbing to the sky. After all, the biggest beneficiaries now are the royal families of the five empires, because they have regained the power of life and death.
Even if the five empires were unified into one giant empire, it would be impossible to rebuild the human interstellar federal government, because power is poison.
Power is poison!
The five empires are in turmoil, and it is all caused by power. So far, four of the five empires have undergone power changes, including multiple coups in the Roni Empire and the new emperor of the Xuanyuan Empire.
The only one that is quiet is the Black Dragon Empire.
Since the collapse of the human interstellar federal government, the Black Dragon Empire has been the quietest country among the five empires. Even when the four empires allied forces invaded the Ronnie Empire, the Black Dragon Empire only sent a small fleet to make up for it.
He did not substantially participate in the invasion battle.
Just five hours before Zhou Sen left, he analyzed the entire five star regions and the five empires.
Currently, the only country that can be called peaceful is the Black Dragon Empire, and the Black Dragon Empire is also the country that has suffered the least abuse from the giant armored cockroach.
Of course, the reason why the Black Dragon Empire is able to survive alone is very complicated. In addition to the fact that there is no internal fighting among the royal family, another important reason is that the senior official of the Black Dragon Empire is a senior official of the human interstellar federal government. He himself is a member of the Black Dragon Empire's royal family.
After the collapse of the human interstellar federal government, he returned to the Black Dragon Empire and brought the most powerful acute-angle fleet of the human interstellar federal government back to the Black Dragon Empire.
In the five major star regions, everyone knows about the Acute Angle Fleet. In addition to having more than 20,000 warships of various types, it also has 27 flagships.
What is a flagship?
In the eyes of many ordinary people, the flagship is the commander of the interstellar fleet, and the interstellar battleship where the formation commander is located is called a command ship. However, in the eyes of military experts, the flagship means that it is equipped with super weapons that threaten the planet, such as
Particle cannons, such as antimatter weapons, can easily level cities on the surface of planets, and can even smash asteroids.
Under the deterrence of the Acute Angle Fleet and the fact that the Black Dragon Empire is not warlike, the Black Dragon Empire has become the safest place in the five star regions.
In short, none of the five empires is good, and asking them to let them go is tantamount to wishful thinking...
…
"Where is your ideal?" the young man asked.
"My ideal..." Zhou Sen lost consciousness for a while.
ideal!
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Sen's mouth. Back then, he had many, many thoughts. He had them in every period, from childhood to adolescence, to youth, and now, even when he was in Mogan Prison, he had them.
A goal of escaping from prison, but now, he found that he was lost. He didn't know what to do. Every time he encountered something, he was passive. For example, the rescue of Qin Ge this time was also passive.
What is your ideal?
What is your dream?
Looking for the murderer behind the scenes?
Break through space barrier conservation?
Cultivation to become a god?
Zhou Sen discovered that just after he boarded the mysterious spaceship, all his ideals and dreams were shattered, because, whether in front of gods or in front of the technological power of higher planes, the power of the five star regions
The power is vulnerable. This is not a gap that can be bridged by hard work, but a gap between civilizations in different planes.
The gap between civilizations can never be bridged by one person's efforts.
The reason is very simple. It is just like the urban civilization on the ancient earth and the tribal civilization in Africa. If there is a war between the two, it will be a dimensionality reduction attack by different civilizations.
"I don't have any ideals at the moment, but I am happy to help others achieve their ideals. For example, if you need it, I can provide you with the help I can." Zhou Sen smiled.
"It is impossible for a person to have no ideals." The young man also smiled.
"Do you need help?" Zhou Sen didn't want to dwell on himself and changed the topic.
"Of course it is necessary. For example, after I bought a boat ticket, I didn't have any money for food." The young man laughed, seemingly not taking the fact that he was hungry to heart.
"How much does it cost?" Zhou Sen secretly admired this young man for his indomitable willpower. Even in difficult situations, he still had high morale and was not discouraged at all.
"Lend me money?" The young man looked at Zhou Sen with his bright eyes, as if he wanted to see through his internal organs.
"I sponsor you, you don't have to pay it back." Zhou Sen took out a stack of large imperial coins from his body.
"No reward for no merit! This drink is a favor I owe you. Even if I borrow this money." The young man did not refuse. He generously took the money Zhou Sen handed him and counted it.
Said: "I'll give you an IOU."
"Need not."
"I don't know if the money can be repaid, but the IOU still needs to be written. What's your name?" The young man opened his bag and took out a pen and paper.
"Zhou Sen, Zhou Gong's Zhou, forest of forests." Seeing that the other party insisted on issuing an IOU, Zhou Sen did not refuse.
"Well, Brother Zhou... I owe Zhou Sen fifty-three thousand yuan today..."
The young man chanted while writing the IOU, then signed his name and handed it to Zhou Sen.
"The Fourteenth Painter...my friend's last name is Shi?" Zhou Sen looked at the signature and was stunned. He had seen countless uncommon surnames, but this was the first time he saw the surname Shi.
"It doesn't matter whether you have a last name or not. What's important is that Brother Zhou has this IOU with him. If we meet again one day and I have the ability to repay, all the problems will be non-issue."
"Tenth brother is also a sweetheart."
"Both each other! Brother Zhou is upright, and he is a good person at first glance. It is better to be careful. He is both good and evil. Your name is taboo. If necessary, you can consider changing it." The Fourteenth Painter said with a serious face.
.
"Haha..." Zhou Sen laughed dumbly. Obviously, the other party thought that he was pretending to be Zhou Sen, the number one gangster in the interstellar world. However, he was mentally prepared and didn't take it to heart. It was just that the other party regarded him as a good person, which made him a little bit nervous.
Ashamed.
"The Longbow Station has arrived, please prepare to disembark! The Longbow Station has arrived, please prepare to disembark..." The spacecraft repeatedly played electronic prompts.
"Brother Zhou, thank you for your timely help. We will be arriving at the Interstellar Station soon to transfer to the spaceship. We'll see you later!" The Fourteenth Painter stood up and picked up his luggage.
"Brother Ten, it's not easy to be away from home. I want to give you something to take with you!" Zhou Sen took out a small cloth bag from his backpack and handed it to Painter Fourteen.
"Thank you." The Fourteenth Painter took the small bag, leaned slightly towards Zhou Sen, strode outside, and soon merged into the rolling flow of people.
Fourteen painters!
Zhou Sen watched the Fourteenth Painter disappear into the crowd. He had a strange feeling, because the name Fourteenth Painter was so special.
The name must have some meaning.
At this time, the Aurora has been docked with the interstellar station, and the network of the interstellar station can be connected.
Zhou Sen took out a micro-optical computer and connected it to the signal, then logged into the interstellar network and searched for the name Fourteenth Painter. The name Fourteenth Painter did not appear on the interstellar network, but the name Twenty-eight Painter popped up.
Twenty-eight Painters!
Damn it!
Zhou Sen was stunned when he opened the name Twenty-Eight Painters, because this name was not simple. It was a pseudonym once used by a god-like figure on the ancient earth.
Twenty-Eight Painters.
Fourteen painters!
Obviously, the other party borrowed half of the great man's name.
What an interesting person.
Just when Zhou Sen logged into the interstellar network and searched for the name Fourteenth Painter, the Fourteenth Painter who had already entered the bridge and queued up to enter the interstellar station opened the cloth bag in boredom.
The moment the bag was opened, the Fourteenth Painter almost went blind because there was actually a bag of gold beads inside the bag!
No wonder it's so heavy.
What an interesting person.
Zhou Sen!
Damn it!
It can’t be Zhou Sen, the real interstellar gangster, right?!
The Fourteenth Painter hurriedly took out the micro-optical brain from his bag, and immediately logged into the interstellar network to search for photos of Zhou Sen, the most ruthless gangster in the interstellar...
