116. Chapter 115
Chapter 145: What would you do if you faced life and death one day?
Synopsis: Scalice's step-by-step approach, the Empire's ignorance and indulgence. The empire's attitude of still looking forward and backward finally made Xia Ziyu make a decision.
However, the building will collapse into the tranquility that was brewing before the final storm.
The crisis continues, and the predicament and hope for the future are deeply troubling to all people.
Decide who should make it and who should bear it......
"We're not interested in going against the Empire, we just want the Empire to recognize our existence." Mo Bai said with a smile, looking relaxed.
In fact, with the current situation of the empire, it is best for them not to meddle in this troubled waters. Anyway, they are two races with humans, and the Scalice civilization wants to deal with humans.
However, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves.
Two days ago, I found out that someone wanted to break through the mastermind's defenses, although they were blocked back. But in the tracking, the identity of the other party was discovered.
Unfortunately, it was the ScaliΔe civilization.
"So you want to be able to take the Empire from me? Why don't you go on your own in this matter, the Empire should welcome you. Lin Ye raised her hand to interrupt Mo Bai's words, she couldn't understand why Mo Bai was so troublesome, so she came to her on purpose.
"Because we're looking for collaboration, not a return to the old days of being a tool." was interrupted, Mo Bai was not angry, and explained kindly.
After all, now they have to ask each other, so they naturally want to be kinder.
These days, the mastermind will be attacked every day. The defensive nets they have set up are becoming more and more difficult to resist.
Although the other party doesn't know them, they are obviously improving in the past few days, and they don't know when they won't be able to block the other party's attack.
"I would like to ask you to contact Xia Ziyu." Mo Bai said to her in an almost pleading tone.
"Ziyu? Does this matter still have anything to do with her? Lin Ye twisted her eyebrows, she was a little confused. I don't know what this has to do with Ziyu.
Not to mention that she can't contact Ziyu at all now, looking at Mo Bai, she shook her head, "Are you looking for the wrong person, I can't contact Ziyu." β
"Because of the previous incident, the empire used a special signal jamming device that made it impossible for us to connect to the empire's military network, so I wanted to contact Major General Xia through you."
Lin Ye was depressed, didn't she just want to go and watch the news of the Star Network, why was she also troubled to find the door.
"I can't contact her, I don't have enough authority, you better find someone else." Lin Ye didn't know much about this matter, so he still managed to refuse.
She didn't lie, she really couldn't contact Ziyu.
"You give me permissions, I have my own way." Mo Bai said confidently.
"If what you say is false, why should I believe you?" Even if the person in front of her was Mo Bai who had taken care of her, Lin Ye still refused, she couldn't afford to gamble, and she didn't want to cause trouble to Ziyu at this time.
"However, if what I say is true, then the Empire will have a very good helper. At this time, can't you see which is more important? Mo Bai was not in a hurry, as if she was sure that she would definitely agree. looked at her fixedly, his eyes dark.
"I ...... I think about it, give me a moment to think about it. Lin Ye covered her forehead, she had to think about this matter.
"Time is urgent, I'll give you a day to think about it. If you don't agree, then we'll try to make contact with the Scalice. While Mo Bai finished speaking, he didn't give Lin Ye any time to react, and the contact was interrupted.
Lin Ye fell on the table irritably, ahhhh She wouldn't do such a difficult topic.
But she was still happy to know that Mo Bai was fine, and it would have been better if Mo Bai hadn't made her make such a difficult choice.
Reaching for the liaison, switching networks, she struggled with whether to agree.
At the same time as she switched networks, a strange flow of information was transmitted along the network signal to the military network and lurked. Quietly unnoticed by anyone.
Lin Ye was still too tender, and Mo Bai sighed silently when he successfully invaded the military net.
Then he carefully hid it, and if someone detected it, his plan would not be in vain. In fact, in his plan, what can Lin Ye do if he agrees or not, anyway, it is just as a springboard, and now he has already succeeded.
Xia Ziyu faintly sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with the Scalice civilization, but she lacked the information of the other party, so she only felt that something was wrong, but she didn't find that there was something wrong with that link.
The liaison on the table rang, and she raised her hand embarrassedly to the subordinate who was making the report. The number she hadn't seen before, keenly sensing that something was wrong, she waved her hand to let her subordinates go down first.
Then the communication was connected, and she didn't know the people inside, and she couldn't say that she didn't know them at all, after all, she had seen them.
"Ink white." This name was obtained by Lin Ye, the housekeeper who had broken down a few years ago. Xia Ziyu's memory has always been very good, so he already remembered it the moment he saw people.
"Hello Major General Xia." Mo Bai said politely.
She thought about it for a moment, Mo Bai was still there, and it didn't seem to be an ordinary program. Then it is the intelligent life in the empire that has made a lot of trouble, Xia Ziyu looked at Mo Bai and said indifferently, "It seems that the military network is becoming more and more unsafe now." β
It's just that...... This was really unexpected for her.
In order to block the invasion of intelligent life, the military network adopts the latest interception function. The starship is even equipped with a signal jammer, but Mo Bai can still easily hack into her contact terminal.
The idiots in the empire seemed to be getting more and more stupid, Xia Ziyu sneered in his heart.
"The military network is still very safe, and we are just a coincidence." Mo Bai smiled.
"Say it." Xia Ziyu looked at him and understood the truth that nothing should be done to enter the Three Treasures Palace, she was not familiar with Mo Bai. There is no friendship with these intelligent beings at all, and there must be something wrong with the other party finding her.
"I come with sincerity and want to work with the Empire." Mo Bai looked at her.
"Work with the Empire, what are you coming to me for. I don't have that much influence. Xia Ziyu raised his eyebrows, a little disdainful of the other party's words.
"Your father, as well as the father of your best friend, and the Fifth Highness, the most powerful contender for the next majesty of the empire. And, of course, you, now you are enough to influence the fate of half an empire. β
"Isn't that what I said?" Mo Bai looked at her with a mysterious smile on the corner of her mouth, they knew these things clearly.
"Listen up."
When Mo Bai heard this, he knew that he was already halfway there. As for the other half, it's up to them to impress each other.
After organizing the language, he spoke, "It's actually quite simple. We can help the empire as we did before, but not for free. In return, we hope that when this war is over, we can be treated as equals. β
"Isn't there something unequal?" Xia Ziyu frowned, she couldn't make a decision on this kind of thing, and the other party paid too little.
She calculated in her heart that if Mo Bai's side was willing to cooperate, at least their combat power could be doubled. The main thing is that if they are on board, then the research on that thing can be a little faster.
The life form born of artificial intelligence has a powerful computational reasoning ability that surpasses almost all living things.
"You say this war is over, and you are so sure. Won't it be us who loses in the end, or if you have actually reached a cooperation with each other? Xia Ziyu asked sharply.
"We are very sincere, as for these two answers, the former one, if the empire agrees to cooperate, of course we will unconditionally deliver the news. The latter question, the Scalice civilization, we have no interest in cooperating, a civilization that has come to an end, is not worth our effort. Mo Bai's tone was an understatement.
Mo Bai speaks very directly, even if he has self-awareness, but they are blank for feelings. When thinking about problems, it is still easy to start from the benefits of gain and loss, as well as one's own survival.
"We will definitely not agree to your conditions." Xia Ziyu knows the bottom line of the empire, even if the intelligence has its own consciousness, the empire will not let them become independent.
However, it is not without another compromise method, the ghost makes the gods worse, Xia Ziyu remembered the subordinate civilization of other civilizations in the Star Alliance.
"If you're willing to become a subordinate civilization of the Empire, maybe we'll talk about it."
If it is a subsidiary civilization, the empire will not oppose it too fiercely, there is already a mermaid race in front, and now it seems that it is not a big problem to have one more.
Even if there is, it is a headache for others, what does it have to do with her. And...... She needs their abilities.
She was really interested in the news from Mo Bai's mouth, otherwise she wouldn't have been here with Mo Bai for so long.
Mo Bai pondered for a moment, there is still a need to talk about this condition, and it doesn't hurt to agree to it for the time being, "Yes, but the details still need to be discussed." β
"You're sure." Xia Ziyu squinted, looked at Mo Bai, and suddenly felt that he had been calculated.
"Yes, we agreed to your request." Mo Bai nodded directly.
"I'm just going to talk to the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I will tell them about your affairs, and it is up to you whether you can succeed or not. β
"Thank you, Major General Xia." With a slight jaw of ink white, the light screen instantly dimmed.
Stretching back the hand that turned off the communication, she supported her chin with her right hand, what did Mo Bai mean by the last words.
"It's not like you have nothing in common with each other, that's the only place you can talk about each other."
Xia Ziyu's heart faintly flooded with a thought, a little hard to believe, she stood up, tapped the star map behind her, slowly enlarged, and occasionally a naughty bright silver would be crossed in the starry sky.
It was the starship of the Scaliche civilization, and her eyelids jumped, suppressing the thought that suddenly flashed in her heart, the other party could not do that, unless the other party was crazy.
Xia Ziyu didn't know that her thoughts were very close to the truth, and the current Scalice civilization was just like crazy.
"King."
Looking at the young man who closed his eyes and pondered, he was a little hesitant in his heart, not knowing whether to tell the king the bad news.
"Say."
As if sensing his thoughts, the young man's thin lips opened and closed lightly and spat out a word.
"The previous attacks on artificial intelligence have been resolved, and it is impossible to get the core technology of the other party in a short period of time." Gritting his teeth, he said it anyway.
"Oh." He answered faintly, but he couldn't hear anything.
If Mo Bai knew the ins and outs of the whole thing, he would definitely not go to the empire. They didn't think Scalice would let them go, but in fact they wouldn't let them go if they had time.
Throughout the entire cosmic civilization, artificial intelligence has always been a forbidden area for various civilizations. There are countless more advanced scientific and technological strength than the Empire, but why is it that only the Empire has succeeded in giving birth to artificial intelligence.
The main civilization of each generation will always have something extraordinary, just like Scalice and Anseca in the past...... civilization and so on.
Unfortunately, until they succeed or fail, these civilizations will not know the secret at all. Raising his hand to cover his eyes, a low laugh spilled out of his throat, "Let's get started." β
They bowed silently, with a strange etiquette but an innumerable elegance, which was the highest respect they had for the Most High.
And their king, Sta Alpha Dander, deserves it.
Starr watched his subordinate leave, with an indescribable smile in the corner of his eye, unable to see what he was thinking at the moment.
A few days later.
Xia Ziyu's expression at this time was very ugly, and the people present didn't dare to come out, and no one dared to touch her brows.
"So, for so many days, this is such a sentence on the part of the Empire? Connect me to the Imperial Institute at once, and I'm going to talk to them directly. Xia Ziyu's cold gaze swept over the subordinates in front of him, negotiating and negotiating, and the people on the other side didn't have so much time for them to have interests there.
It's time for the empire's families to sweep up.
The people she saw couldn't help but glance at her, and the identities of the few people who did it were not simple, and they were also one of the few people who knew about this plan.
It's just that that matter is so important, not to mention that the empire doesn't dare to make a decision lightly, even they don't have any bottom in their hearts.
If that fails...... If that fails...... They can't afford that......
"Go down." She knew that she hoped that these people would make a decision that would be no less than Scaliche's voluntary retreat.
glanced at Xia Ziyu with some guilt, and they left one by one. In addition to guilt, there is also some shame. But they also know that even if they understand that their actions are not good, they can only stick to it.
No one knew what Xia Ziyu talked about with the people of the empire that day, and soon after the empire sent someone to send a thing, and under heavy protection, few people had seen the true face of that thing.
Starr looked at the fragile and brittle crystal in his hand, only the size of his thumb, his eyes full of love and pity, and the original appearance of it...... The palms of his hands were closed, and the crystals were quietly held in his palms.
Starr raised his eyes and looked into the distance, he felt it, this feeling was the heart of civilization, the strength of the vastness and incomparable power.
That feeling, no one else but him knows.
Because things are so important, everyone is sent to protect them. So if it weren't for someone who had the heart to look for it, they wouldn't have found that there was no shadow of Xia Ziyu on the huge starship at this moment.
Xia Ziyu, who only showed up during the inspection just now, and disappeared, appeared on the Silver Moon Star at this time.
Lin Ye, who was dozing off on the Silver Moon Star, noticed that the light in front of him seemed to be partially blocked, but when he looked up, he saw an unexpected person.
"Ziyu? I guess I'm sleeping. Tapping his head, Lin Ye was a little incredulous. She and Ziyu had only contacted her half an hour ago, and in the blink of an eye, how could Ziyu get in front of her from the starship?
"Sober?" didn't mind Lin Ye's stunned appearance, Xia Ziyu said with a smile.
Lin Ye almost jumped up, and finally just said, "Why don't you say hello, I'm scared." β
"A surprise for you." Compared with the sternness in front of his subordinates, Xia Ziyu's appearance at the moment was soft. Her shoulders also relaxed slightly, today was her own holiday, so she didn't want to think about those unpleasant things that gave her a headache.
"Only fright, where is the surprise." Lin Ye muttered.
However, Shang Yang's somewhat coquettish tone could still be heard, and Lin Ye was actually very happy.
"It doesn't matter why you came all of a sudden?" Lin Ye looked at her with a frown, with undisguised worry in his eyes. Although she was very happy that she came to accompany her, she still did not forget the current situation of the empire.
The last line of defense of the empire, it really doesn't matter if Ziyu leaves like this.
Reaching out and touching Lin Ye's head, she knew what the worry in Lin Ye's eyes was for, however, she didn't want to talk about it.
"Let's go, go out for a walk with me. Today I am on vacation. Xia Ziyu's voice was faint, and the natural tone made Lin Ye swallow the words back in his mouth. Well, if Ziyu doesn't want to say it, she doesn't have a problem. Who asked her to take Ziyu and there was no way to do it.
Lin Ye shook his head with a smile, Ziyu was really too willful on vacation at this time.
At the same time that this sentence appeared in Lin Ye's heart, it also appeared in Xia Ziyu's adjutant's heart at this time.
Her current adjutant used to be an adjutant for Lin Xi, and she was used to leaving a note from her boss and taking leave without authorization.
It's just that not everyone says that Major General Xia is very responsible, and the current situation is still unclear. Why do you suddenly say that if you don't see people, you're gone? Although he thought so, he was slandering in his heart. Xia Ziyu, as the highest decision-maker here, really no one can stop him from going anywhere.
After a long period of transformation, the Silver Moon Star is no longer the desolate appearance it was when humans first saw it.
It's just that at this time, the clouds of war are still shrouded in the empire, and the Silver Moon Star is still a lot depressed.
After all, if they fail, the first thing to bear the brunt of it is the approaching Silver Moon Star. And it is impossible for the people of the Silver Moon Star to retreat to the main star, and everyone who lives here may not be in a relaxed mood.
The streets are deserted, and patrolling figures can only be seen from time to time. Civilians barely move outside, and in order to prevent chaos, the entire Silver Moon Star is now under militarized management.
At that time, if there is any chaos, it will undoubtedly make it worse.
Lin Ye's heart suddenly felt a little more uneasy, and he subconsciously looked at the people around him, his hands clenched unconsciously, and he panicked for no reason.
"What's wrong?" She looked at Ah Ye and took her palm. The slender fingers and white palms wrap each other's, and some people say that the palm is the closest place to the heart.
I want to hold you all the time and put you in the most important position in my heart. Xia Ziyu's eyes were gentle and deep when he looked at Lin Ye.
Lin Ye looked at Ziyu, the same expression, without the peace of mind she usually felt, that wisp of uneasiness seemed to expand.
She knew that Ah Ye wanted to ask her something, but she didn't give Ah Ye a chance at all. Her Ah Ye has always been so sensitive, obviously others didn't notice it at all.
"I promised you so many times, but none of them could accompany you for a good walk." Xia Ziyu looked up and saw an endless blue sky, and the blue sky of the Silver Moon Star was a man-made product, but it didn't seem to be different from the Sea Blue Star.
On a quiet and deserted street, two people walked side by side.
"Ziyu, tell me about the outside." Lin Ye was silent for a long time before speaking.
"Isn't it good not to talk about this, it's a rare vacation." Looking at her with a tilted head, Xia Ziyu's eyebrows and eyes had a faint smile, like a spring breeze.
After looking at it carefully for a while, except for the hairstyle Ziyu people who were thinner, they didn't see anything. It's been a long time since I saw ...... Somehow, my eyes were dry, and some kind of fluid was trying to get out of my sockets.
Avoiding Ziyu's eyes, Lin Ye lowered her head, and her voice was a little awkward, "The wind and sand have entered her eyes, it's really annoying." β
"Well, it's windy." did not expose this clumsy lie, Xia Ziyu echoed.
After that, Lin Ye never mentioned anything else, and the topic of conversation between the two had nothing to do with the world. Walked all the way and talked all the way.
After the two had eaten, Ziyu sent her back.
After whispering to Ah Ye for a while, Xia Ziyu turned his back to Lin Ye and walked farther and farther.
Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat, his hand was raised and lowered, and in the end, he still didn't say anything to stay.
After another two days, there were more losses and fewer wins, and even she in the rear noticed that something was wrong. People came and went, and everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.
Today was unusual after all, the endless clear sky suddenly erupted with a dazzling light, instantly sweeping across the entire Silver Moon Star towards the Sea Blue Star.
Lin Ye's hand in front of the table suddenly shook and couldn't hold the pen in his hand, the pen fell to the ground, and he didn't know where to roll after playing twice, just like the unknown fate.
She suddenly got up, opened the door and walked out, the commotion outside just now had calmed down.
Everyone asked each other what was going on, but no one knew.
It wasn't until a day later that the Empire contacted them urgently that they knew what had happened.
Major General Xia Ziyu used the forbidden weapons of the empire without authorization, and the current situation on the front line is unknown.
Lin Ye only felt a little out of breath when she heard the news, but she took a deep breath calmly, and then calmly said to the person who came to inform her that she knew.
That calm appearance was as indifferent as that day, as if it was Xia Ziyu who was not going to the battlefield.
She finally understood why Xia Ziyu was that day, the whole person was different, and she said those words to her...... She didn't notice it at all. Back in the room, Lin Ye covered his eyes, crystal tears slipped down his face, on vacation, in fact, he came to say goodbye to her that day...... She suddenly remembered what Ziyu asked her before leaving, what she said at that time......
"If one day you face life and death, what will you do?" Ziyu looked at her, clasped her hands on her waist, and her serious appearance made her unable to answer with ease.
"What are you kidding, Ziyu, you're joking." The smile on her face gradually stiffened, and in the end, she could only stare into Ziyu's eyes for verification.
"You're just thinking I'm kidding." After staring at each other for a long time, Xia Ziyu finally lost to her insistence, and kissed her on the lips, the starlight in her eyes was gentle and delicate.
When the lips and teeth are intertwined, the silent sentence is, if there is a day, forget about me.
She pretended not to hear that, but she did. But how could it be done, don't be kidding.
Ziyu, you'd better be joking, otherwise, you'll just wait and see for me. Lin Ye's hands were clenched into fists as if he was going to use all his strength.
