"呲~"

With a needle, it was the ruler who had lived for nearly 700 years, and after a flash of regret and despair on his face, two minutes, he looked at Zhou Ming's gaze, with obedience and well-behaved. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The proud head also bowed.

The slave in Zhou Ming's hand has successfully increased by one.

Now we can communicate smoothly.

After a little deliberation, facing the fresh slave, Zhou Ming opened his mouth and asked a few questions he wanted to ask.

"Why create an empire of money?"

"To conserve resources, reduce waste and pollution, and to be permanently stable and sustainable. The Juggernaut's mechanical voice said.

"Why not take the other path, the Interstellar Colonization Road?"

"Can't go, the resources are insufficient, and the minimum requirements for interstellar colonization cannot be met. The Juggernaut shook his head.

"Those resources are insufficient, how much are they lacking?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Many, precious metals, rare earth elements, nuclear fuel, there is a lot of it. ”

"The resources of an entire planet are not enough? plus the moon star in your hand, the resources of the two planets combined, are they not enough?"

"It's not enough, it's really not enough, the war has destroyed the planet below, 80% of the resources were destroyed in the war, the remaining 10% is used for reconstruction, and there are 10%, only 5 million people can be transferred to the nearest moonstar, but what's the use? This star system, including the moon star, has a total of nine planets that can be used, two of which are too close to the sun, four are too far away from the sun, and there are only three that can actually be used, and then remove the earth star and the moon star below, there is still one left, and that planet is only half the volume of the earth star, and there is no water on the surface, although the resources on it can be mined, and tens of millions of people can be immigrated, but the value is very limited, and the cost of transformation is very high. ”

"You mean, you have to find a planet with water before you can carry out large-scale colonization?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Yes, a planet without water is just a resource star that provides mineral resources, not a colonization star with colonial value, water is the simplest substance, but also the most precious substance, especially for interstellar colonization, only water means everything. ”

"Then go find a planet with water, but a different galaxy. ”

"If you can find it, if you can go, you think I don't want to send someone?"

The Juggernaut looked at him like an idiot, then lowered his head and muttered, "A huge technical bottleneck restricts the progress of interstellar colonization. ”

"What technical bottleneck?"

"High-power matter reactor and high-thrust ion engine, if these two things can't be developed, even if interstellar colonization is carried out in this galaxy, it is a matter of losing more than gaining, and the return obtained from interstellar colonization is not enough to replenish the materials lost on the road, this kind of colonization is meaningless. ”

Zhou Ming understood what the ruler meant, what he meant was that it was not impossible to carry out interstellar colonization, but the technical bottleneck that was difficult to break through would make the cost so high that it was unaffordable.

Large-scale colonization can only be carried out if technological breakthroughs are made to make interstellar colonization efficient, cheap, and profitable.

Before achieving a technological breakthrough, impatiently transferring the population to those resource stars will only increase the burden and does not make much sense.

For example, how much will it cost to transport water to millions of people across hundreds of millions of kilometers of space to a planet without water? How many times a year? How many years will it need to be transported, and how many years will it need to be transported, and how many people on the resource planet can achieve self-sufficiency?

Only planets with water have the value of colonization.

"The substance reactor should be an upgraded version of the nuclear fusion power station, right? There is also an ion engine, this kind of engine has been there for a long time, the principle is not complicated, but now it is necessary to break through the ion acceleration technology and increase the thrust of this engine?"

Zhou Ming, who still knows a little about the technological development route, asked the ruler.

The Juggernaut looked at him, nodded, and shook his head again.

"These two technologies, it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough?" Zhou Ming asked the essence of the question.

"It is necessary to build a particle accelerator with a length of 10,000 kilometers in space, conduct high-energy particle collision tests, crack the basic force formula of basic physics, and lay a theoretical foundation in order to develop a material reactor and an ion engine, but ......"

The Juggernaut shook his head and said, "More than 500 years have passed, and the resources I have accumulated in my hands can only build 10% of this particle accelerator. ”

After the completion of the particle accelerator, it will take 4,500 years, and after the completion of the collision experiment, the basic force formula will be explored, and after the theoretical breakthrough is achieved, the resources of several thousand years will be accumulated to basically meet the conditions for interstellar colonization.

These times add up to almost exactly 10,000 years, and then enter what the rulers call the "adjustment period."

But now, the master's well-thought-out, energy-saving and environmentally friendly plan has been completely disrupted today, and his careful plan has not only been adjusted, but also himself.

And so far, Zhou Ming has finally figured out all the causes and consequences, and he has also learned the character of the ruler:

An ultimate environmentalist, a long-term planner, and an opinionated and intelligent man.

The synthesis of these personalities is the perfect and hellish "Money Empire" under the feet.

But at the end of the day, he's just a senior programmer who thinks he's a god above everyone else, thinks he's right, thinks he's going to succeed, and who made a living developing games before the nuclear war.

He treats the world as a game, as a player, as an NPC, as a supreme master, and as an ant at will.

His ideals and goals were correct, but the approach was ...... Stupid.

"Even if the human beings on this planet will never be separated from this planet, and what they have lost is just a trip to other colony stars, but your actions have made them lose their love, family and friendship, conscience and morality, and all the truth, goodness and beauty in human nature......"

"If you ask them for their opinions before starting this "Money Empire", more than 90% of them would rather give up an infinitely better future than choose the hell in front of them. ”

"So, do you know why you're failing, because you're going to fail, and even if it's not me who defeats you, somebody will rise up and overthrow your empire in a few years. ”

"Because you don't know that once humanity awakens the power of love, no matter how powerful the empire is, it will be vulnerable. ”

These words, like a hammer, struck hard again and again in the heart of the ruler, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead, his face was extremely confused, his heart was tingling, and he muttered to himself:

"Could it be...... Am I really doing something wrong?"

……

The crisis of war was lifted.

From the moment the Juggernaut was controlled by the slave potion, his power collapsed in an instant.

So, Zhou Ming made a fortune.

The space station belongs to him.

100,000 unmanned fighters are at his disposal.

The military production line of the Yuexing base, the canopy film production line, can make countless money production lines...... All belong to him.

In addition, he also obtained a crystal item the size of a football, a crystal clear appearance, and countless colorful lights flashing inside in the core main control room of the Moon Star Base-this crystal item, for Zhou Ming, is the most valuable thing in this copy, even higher than the value of more than 100 billion dollars.

The heart of civilization.

This is the heart of civilization.

This heart of civilization stores enough 1EB of scientific and technological information (1EB=102**B=1048576TB).

These scientific and technological information include the most complete and advanced medical technology, material technology, computer technology, intelligent robot technology, various industrial science and technology, agricultural science and technology, and so on.

Any scientific and technological information that Zhou Ming wants, in the heart of civilization, has all of them.

From this, it can be known that the ruler is still a terminal patient with a collecting habit, and the results are cheaper than Zhou Ming.

And after squeezing all the value of the ruler and copying his memories again, the ruler who lost his use value, after pulling out the spacesuit, was thrown into space by Zhou Ming, and immediately his blood boiled, and the pressure inside his body blew him up into countless pieces of space junk.

"You killed me once, you didn't die innocently. ”

Five days later, Zhou Ming piloted the space plane and returned to the ground.

……

Seeing that little dot in the sky getting closer and closer, the ground was boiling.

"It's back, it's back!"

"Hero, our hero is back!"

"It worked, he really made it!"

"Oh oh oh ~ war has been avoided, the world is peaceful, and we are safe!"

"Long live Mr. Xiao Guang, long live our great hero!"

“……”

On this day, Zhou Ming, who returned triumphantly, was warmly welcomed by a hero.

On this day, the whole planet is transformed into a sea of cheers and celebrations, with people singing, dancing and drunk.

This day will forever be recorded in history and become a major festival that future generations will celebrate every year.

This day is known as "Liberation Day".

……

A few days later.

Dragon Blue Castle, one room inside.

"Why don't you bring the Juggernaut down and accept the judgment of the century? Why do you deceive everyone that you have made a peace agreement with the Juggernaut? And there are so many resources on the moon and stars, why don't you use them for all mankind, but hold them all in our own hands, what is the difference between us and the Juggernam in doing so?"

Lan Mengxin frowned and said to Zhou Ming, his face was very incomprehensible.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said:

"You don't know human nature too much, human nature is what you give, people not only won't be grateful, but will take it for granted, the more you do, the higher they demand, they will never be satisfied, and even, if you don't grasp that degree, those so-called rational and kind, conscience, and virtuous people will become dissatisfied and greedy...... This is something that the ruler sees very thoroughly, as a ruler, you must not hold candy in both hands, at least in one hand, you must hold a whip. ”

In addition, the body of the ruled cannot be completely devoid of a sense of crisis, once they untie all the reins of their body, they will have no scruples, once they learn that the ruler is dead, they will be happy, and they will turn the sky upside down, and they will turn the sky upside down, and they will turn the sky upside down.

Therefore, the "existence" of the ruler has more advantages than disadvantages.

Moreover, Zhou Ming will soon quit the game, Lan Mengxin has a weak and kind character, which is not very suitable for being a planetary ruler, and in order to prevent him from leaving a big mess, the Moon Star Base is a back road he left for the Xiao Lan family (the surnames of the two).

Listening to the man's words, Lan Mengxin nodded, she also knew some of the inferior nature of those ordinary people, and the man thought about it like this, and he also had his reasons.

However, thinking that he was about to leave, Lan Mengxin looked reluctant, and like a little girl, she held the man's hand, and pleading in her tone: "Can't you stay for a few more years and accompany me more?"
