Chapter 38: Mountain Rain

Li You was lying on the bed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

No matter how soft and comfortable the mattress is, it can't bring out the strength.

He lay there sickly, motionless. The gold-paper-like face is already a little thin, the contraction of the cheeks makes the cheekbones look high, and the deep sunken eye sockets and heavy dark bags add a little haggard.

Li You struggled to open his eyes, but found that his vision was blurred.

"Already...... This place, this point...... Ah......h

Words that are so dry that there is no moisture are spit out from chapped lips.

A little water flowed into his dry mouth, trying in vain to moisten the vitality of his cells.

“…… Dust? ”

Li You called her name softly.

"Stay quiet." Her Royal Highness the Empress of the Chinese Federation frowned as she looked at the water stains overflowing from the corners of Li You's mouth.

She looked back at Yuriko and looked at the expressionless Yuriko for a moment, only to see Yuriko turn her head and seem to be counting the snowflakes floating outside the window.

cleared her throat a few times, but Yuriko resolutely did not look back, stubbornly counting the snow outside the window.

So, His Royal Highness Liu Li looked at the cup in his hand, so he had to take a big sip of it himself, put it in his mouth, and then leaned down and kissed Li You's lips.

After a long time, Liu Li straightened up, his face was not different, and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Smacking his tongue, Li You laughed softly: "It's quite sweet." ”

Liu Li snorted, looked back at Yuriko, who turned her head back at some point, and glared at her angrily.

"How's that clown?" Li You asked.

"It's time to jump off the beam." Liu Li picked up another apple and peeled it, "They have no scruples and have begun to engage in tandem openly." ”

Li You chuckled lightly, his face showing disdain, "They are just actors on the front stage, the real main messengers, and all vested interest groups!" My innovation is about to succeed, and based on the current trend, it is not difficult to guess the future days...... They couldn't sit still. ”

"It's you who don't leave them alive!" Liu Li glanced at him, "If it's just to break the division of interests, it's okay, which superior hasn't done this since ancient times?" As soon as the time passes, they will naturally be able to make profits in the new pattern of interests. But what about you? What you are doing is to occupy all the benefits, and you will not even leave a sip of soup for people! The intelligent robots that are only loyal to you occupy all the share, and they can't even insert a needle...... How can they sit still?! ”

Can you imagine that? The country's mastery of capital will be unprecedentedly deep to every penny and every penny!

The flow and direction of every penny and every penny cannot be hidden from the eyes of the center—or rather, it has always been under the full monitoring of the center.

Coupled with higher education and comprehensive access to knowledge......

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. And Li You's doing it is even more excessive: pull the weeds in the front, and cut off the roots in the back!

Eunuch eunuchs, family gate valves, and soil kings, although these three mountains are heavy, but after all, the number is limited, and compared with the vast world, it is easy to dilute them.

Therefore, the bureaucracy, which was the main force in the scholarly class, became their helpers and accomplices, and the three mountains ate meat, and these people drank soup.

After Li You overthrew the three mountains, he can't rule the world alone, right? There was no choice but to win over the scholar class and rely on them to govern the world and promote reforms.

However, as the reform progressed, these scholars gradually understood how terrifying this reform really was!

Frightened, they intend to make a last-ditch effort before the reform is finally officially launched!

This is their last chance.

"Seriously, why don't you control them? Or even control all of humanity? Along with the confusion came a piece of apple flesh on the tip of the knife, "After all—you can do it, can't you?" ”

"I'm not an exploiting class." After swallowing the flesh and thinking about it for a moment, Li You replied, "If I really need slaves, wouldn't robots be a better choice?" ”

Then, Li You made an oath-like declaration: "I am not here for exploitation; I didn't come for oppression! I came because of a dream! ”

Liu Li inserted another piece of apple flesh and stuffed it into Li You's mouth, "Yes, yes, yes!" My Romantic Idealism Great Sage! ”

After chewing a few more apple pieces, Li You sighed: "Indeed, I have many kinds of weapons of mass destruction in my hands, such as hydrogen bombs, vacuum implosion bombs, proton colliders, ultra-high-power ion cannons, biological and chemical weapons, and weather controllers...... It is not impossible to coerce the world into submission with pure absolute violence...... But that's not what I wanted......"

"Dominating the world with violence is unjust in the hearts of the people, after all, it is no longer ancient times, and the people's wisdom has gradually opened, and the country, nation, culture, and religion have ...... These invisible boundaries divide humanity. A hundred years from now, when future generations look back on history, how will they view us today? Coerced and oppressed people, and fell into the handle, it will be used by future generations of lords, and there will be trouble! Therefore, the law of coercing the unification of the world is full of drawbacks, and it is a law of the moment, not the law of the world! ”

Indeed, if you use force to dominate the world, it is not impossible for Li You, but ...... The consequences? What's next?

The Federal Republic of China will conquer and unify the world, but the image of the unified world must be just, glorious, and noble, and must not be anti-human, terrifying, or dirty.

The future image of the Federal Republic of China must not be flawed.

Otherwise-

A hundred years later, when the blonde, blue-eyed and white-skinned students were studying history, they found that the historical records were as follows: "A hundred years ago, in a certain battle, the Chinese Federation wiped out millions of soldiers and civilians through hydrogen bombs...... Millions of military and civilian ...... have been wiped out with biological and chemical weapons", what would they think in their hearts?

Our cause is just, so we can't leave a legacy behind.

As for falsifying history...... This is unrealistic, because hatred can be passed on.

In this world, there are already international treaties for civilians and prisoners of war (the Treaty of Tibet) – of course, whether they are actually implemented or not is a matter of fact – so civilians cannot be attacked, prisoners of war cannot be abused...... Wait a minute.

In this context, where there is already a framework of consensus in the humanitarian world, Li You's scruples are even more serious.

Naturally, biological and chemical weapons must never be used, even if they are nuclear weapons and so on, it is better to just show off their muscles and carry out deterrence and intimidation at the strategic level, rather than actually using them.

Therefore, the Chinese Federation needs a reasonable interface, a reason, and a name to unify the world.

- This is the so-called righteous name.

And that opportunity is -

"Charles Britannia?" Liu Li also ate a piece of apple herself and asked Li You.

"Exactly! They invade the world, we save the world. Li You looked at the patterns on the ceiling as if stunned, "As you and I said, that period is the best time...... And there is a guarantee of time, even if there is a worst situation of all-out non-cooperation, but at that time, the Chinese Federation will almost have the production capacity to support the whole world on its own, which is enough to maintain stability and tide over the difficulties......"

"It's really conservative......"

"Why take the risk when it only takes a few minutes to do it?" Li You asked rhetorically, "After all, the last thing we lack is time!" ”

"Ah, yes......" Liu Li laughed meaningfully, "Time, ......"

Then the two fell into silence.

Li You closed his eyes and fell asleep; Liu Li sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes calm; Yuriko listened to the wind and snow howling outside the window.

After a while, the door of Yangwu's room was pushed open, and Li You, whose face was as heavy as water, strode in, followed by a wild spring, and he came in with all his money.

Liu Li, who was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, not knowing what to think, turned his head, closed his gaze, looked at this Li You, and asked, "It's all done?" ”

"It's all done." That Li You spoke in a deep voice, but when he heard the voice, he was full of energy, looking at his face, he was also smooth and clean, and he didn't look like he was sick.

This Li You looked at the sick self on the bed, and continued to say in a deep voice: "This body of mine is my deity—although this division is meaningless, it is quite commemorative for me—my spirit is one with heavenly calculations, and every minute and second is carrying out astronomical-level information processing and data calculations, deducing scientific principles and technological progress, resulting in too much mental overdraft, so that my mind is withered...... And now, the first phase of the final shelter project is basically completed, and my original body will be placed there to cultivate and preserve. ”

In his hands, Li You has mastered all the technology trees in the entire Command & Conquer universe, including the Tiberium series, the Red Alert series, and the General series...... The various scientific and technological systems in this are not the same. If we want these science and technology trees with different principles, different concepts, different fields, and different directions to be transplanted to the soil of the Chinese Federation to take root and grow, we need to digest and absorb them, and then we can further develop them.

- It's a huge project, and it's like replanting a tech tree.

Not to mention anything else, a single technological integration has already consumed ten years of energy of the Chinese Federation, but it has still not been completely completed.

As far as the current process is concerned, the new science and technology tree belonging to the Chinese Federation can only be said to have taken shape, and has just completed the basic transformation of the country's social industrial production system.

In order to speed up this process, Li You chose to connect his thoughts with heavenly calculations in parallel, integrating human wisdom and spirituality with the logical computing power of machines, and artificially promoting the scientific and technological reform of the Chinese Federation.

In fact, many of the advances made by the Chinese Federation over the years, especially the digestion and absorption of new technological systems, are mainly due to Li You's contributions.

However, the astronomical amount of terrifying calculations every minute and second also seriously consumed and overdrew Li You's mental strength, causing him to be mentally haggard, and because of the interconnection between psychological and physical activities, he appeared on the physical body, and his appearance was sick.

And the Li You in front of him, who had just entered the house, was a clone made by cloning technology, and it was Li You's clone, using telepathic ability to control in real time regardless of spatial distance, and it was concentric with a different body. However, because most of Li You's mental energy is used in scientific research, he only maps his own personality thinking logic to this physical brain, so as to determine the direction of his thinking activities, and with the huge computing power of this brain itself, and determine the words and deeds of this doppelganger, this doppelganger seems a little rigid and unapproachable.

*

The final shelter is a secret base built by Li You for himself, and it is also a last retreat in the worst state.

Deep underground in the Forbidden City, there is a huge underground building system, which is a long time ago, for air defense and just in case, and the excavation of underground bunker engineering, exclusively for the use of heavenly families and officials, and Luoyang City's civil underground building system is not directly connected.

Ten years ago, it was requisitioned by Li You and transformed into a huge and deep underground palace by a large number of construction robots.

And in the deepest part of this underground palace, more than 500 meters underground, a huge, altar-like building stands here, towering in the deepest and very central part of this underground space with a radius of five kilometers.

On the three-layer stacked metal platform, the circular underside of the highly transparent special optical glass material glows with azure light, which corresponds to the cylindrical probe plane hanging from the top of the layer as if it were a sapphire paved floor.

This is the coordinate positioning device of the Chrono Teleporter. Through it, you can contact the chrono teleporter, and then teleport the materials (people and things) here over time.

On this blue sea-like light, Li You, who had a thin face and a haggard expression, did not touch the ground with his feet, three feet off the ground, and his hands were suspended in mid-air, and the corners of his robe were flying.

In a pair of dry eyes, what is presented is not the black eyes of mortals, but the brilliant brilliance of the glass like gold, like a river of stars, flowing endlessly.

- What burns in it is the splendor of the heart!

At this moment, these extraordinary eyes are staring at the void in front of them, using the signals of brain quantum waves to make the final calculation and determination with the heavenly calculation.

Li You turned his head and looked at Liu Li, his clone, Yuriko, and Noizumi outside the teleportation area.

"So, I went to ......"

The blue light is abundant, and the space is full of blue flowers, as if you are in the sea.

A blue curtain of light surrounded Li You's body, like a bubble blown by the light—

Immediately, it burst like a bubble, and Li You was gone.

The moon, on the back, the final refuge of Li You, the capital of the Second Emperor.

The barren moon surface, the pale and gray moon dust and lunar soil, the black and thick ink of the sky, plus the stars......

The eternal silence is like eternity.

The huge and vast apron that is reserved, the square airtight above-ground buildings, and all kinds of robots walking on the surface of the moon......

This is the above-ground part of the Second Imperial Capital.

And at a depth of several kilometers underground.

The air here is very thin, but for Li You, it actually doesn't mean much - because for Li You, as long as he doesn't want to die, he will never die, even if this body is returned to nothingness in the absolute sense, he can return from absolute non-existence.

Li You flew down from the chrono teleportation platform, still with his feet on the ground and three feet above the ground, floating forward like a jellyfish.

Guarded by layers of steel structures, Li You shuttled through countless corridors.

Eventually, he came to a huge underground space, so large that it was so empty that it could not even be seen at a glance.

In the middle of this space, which is still endlessly built by robots, stands a castle of steel.

- That's the base car in the unfolded form, and it's also the core of Tiansuan.

And in a room in this steel castle, things that had been prepared for Li You were waiting for his arrival.

[Welcome back, master!] 】

With the greeting of the quantum fluctuations carrying the information, the door automatically opens to welcome the floating return of its owner.

In a sleepy silence, Li You flew to the largest room in the steel castle, which had used to be a conference room.

A crystal coffin is placed in the most central and conspicuous place.

This is the place where Li You will recuperate for a long time in the future.

Dry hands, caressing the surface of the crystal coffin, touching its icy and crystalline texture.

"Sure enough, compared to the golden toilet and the large test tube, the crystal coffin is more suitable - lying down is more comfortable than sitting and hanging upside down." Li You laughed, "God, everything...... I'll leave it to you. ”

"Rest assured, my master." A clear electronic voice came from the void, outlining the loyalty of the artificial intelligence, "Good dreams! ”

Li You nodded, took off his clothes, lay down in mid-air, and slowly fell into the crystal coffin.

The top of the crystal coffin automatically closed, and the orange-yellow liquid slowly poured in, holding up Li You's body, drowning in a blur.

Inside the room, the lights were dim and it was pitch black.

Only the crystal coffin, faint and bright, seems to be nothing.

The spirit of unity with the heavens, freed from the shackles of the body and matter, the quantum fluctuations that originate from the mind cheer and leap in the structure of the dimension of time and space, link all the data, swim freely in the ocean of information, and deduce all the phenomena in the world with spiritual wisdom and logical calculations, thinking about all the unknowns......

The invisible spiritual brilliance sprouts here, and the golden light is full of light, sprinkling the void.
