Three years is not a long time for the universe. But three years is long enough for human civilization.

When Chu Tianjiang and Ali returned to their second homeland, the military strength of human civilization had already reached five thousand legions, and another thousand legions could be formed within a few months. The number of inhabitants on the home planet has been reduced to less than 200 billion, and the number of inhabitants in the entire second home has also been reduced to about 1 trillion. Instead of evacuating the entire human civilization, Zhang Xiaogang sent more and more people to other star systems by expanding the size of his military and police forces. The result was similar to the evacuation, with 20 trillion humans spread across more than 4,000 star systems.

Obviously, Chu Tianjiang and Ali have no news, and Zhang Xiaogang has been preparing for the worst ending.

All the stars near the substar, except for the subplanet reserved for Chu Tianjiang, and the satellite specially reserved for Luo Jinyong to conduct scientific research, the rest have all become military bases. Several planets and moons have been completely transformed, becoming transformation and training bases for human warriors.

It can be said that almost the entire human civilization is in a state of madness.

According to Zhang Xiaogang's plan, his goal was to expand the legion to 10,000 and arm 100 million human warriors, all of whom were warriors with ninth-level aggregation star cores. If Chu Tianjiang and Ali have not returned by then, he will order the release of birth control, let everyone reproduce as much as possible, and in the process, eliminate those intelligent civilizations that are dependent on human civilization one by one, and let human beings fill the four thousand star systems. In Zhang Xiaogang's words, if there is a military invasion from the Elamates at that time, even if the human race is defeated, it will be able to integrate into the Elam civilization and rely on the huge population size to turn the Elam civilization into a human civilization.

Obviously, only in a desperate situation, Zhang Xiaogang would have such a crazy move.

This can't be blamed on him, because after Chu Tianjiang and Ali went to Shouxing, they never came back, or they didn't look for Zhang Xiaogang. Although Zhang Xiaogang didn't believe that Chu Tianjiang and Ali were finished, he had to be prepared, and he wouldn't sit still.

According to Zhang Xiaogang's speculation, after Chu Tianjiang and Ali left the first star, they went to the Elam Galaxy.

In other words, he thinks that Chu Tianjiang and Ali have found a way to deal with Beiya, and Zhilu Dao Beka will not deal with Ali for Beiya. The problem is that Ali is not necessarily Beya's opponent, and therefore may not be able to defeat Beya. After not appearing for three years, there is a great possibility that Ali will be killed by Beya.

In fact, three years ago, when he learned from Iska that Chu Tianjiang and Ali had left Shouxing, and the two did not immediately return to their second home, Zhang Xiaogang made such a judgment, and according to this judgment, he adopted two stages of combat preparations.

Obviously, Zhang Xiaogang is a very realistic person.

Fortunately, Chu Tianjiang and Ali came back, and they brought back unexpected gains.

After listening to Chu Tianjiang and Ali, Zhang Xiaogang was silent for a long time.

"Lao Zhang, it's not that we don't want to look for you, it's just that time is very urgent, and we can't delay at all. In the past three years, Ali and I have not rested for a moment. ”

Zhang Xiaogang smiled reluctantly and said, "I understand, in fact, I always thought that you were all still alive." ”

Chu Tianjiang also smiled reluctantly and said, "With the Star Core Source, we no longer need so many warriors. Of course, it is also necessary to keep the current legion, after all, the warriors with the star core source cannot be used to guard the star system, and there must be other warriors to guard our homeland, maintain order, and manage and control other intelligent civilizations. It's just that I don't think there's any need to continue expanding the legion for the time being. ”

Zhang Xiaogang nodded slightly and said, "I will order the expansion of the army to be stopped, but the current legions, including those who are still being trained, should be retained." ”

Chu Tianjiang did not object, and said, "Now, I need five thousand of the best fighters. ”

"No problem, I'll pick it myself."

"No, I'll pick and choose."

Zhang Xiaogang's brows jumped a few times, and he looked at Chu Tianjiang with a little puzzlement.

"Now we have five thousand legions that have been formed, that is, five hundred thousand centurions, and I will select five thousand from among them. Of course, you'll have to promote five thousand centurions to take our place. Chu Tianjiang smiled, "These soldiers are also under your command." ”

Zhang Xiaogang nodded, but he could see that he was obviously not very satisfied with Chu Tianjiang's arrangement.

"Lao Zhang, I'm not targeting you."

"I know it, but it's okay, and I'm in a lot less trouble."

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and said, "It's not too late, we have to start immediately." ”

Selecting five thousand warriors to obtain the Star Core Source and become super soldiers of human civilization was the only request made by Ali, the reason was that she did not want this military force that was enough to destroy the entire human civilization to be completely controlled by Zhang Xiaogang, and Chu Tianjiang should at least have some influence.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang was very clear about Ali's thoughts.

With this military force, Zhang Xiaogang not only has the ability to challenge all the neighboring intelligent civilizations, but also has the ability to pose a direct threat to Ali. To put it bluntly, if Zhang Xiaogang let this military force deal with Ali, even if he has the protection of Chu Tianjiang, Ali may not be able to escape.

If this military force had not been completely controlled by Zhang Xiaogang, Ali's situation would have been much better.

Chu Tianjiang couldn't refuse Ali's only request, but he didn't do anything desperately, after all, it was Zhang Xiaogang who commanded human civilization in an expansion war.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang didn't choose carefully.

After Zhang Xiaogang gathered 500,000 centurions, Chu Tianjiang randomly selected 5,000 and led them into the subspace.

The skill of mastering the source of the star core obviously can't let too many people know the Dao.

In fact, this is not to hide from Zhang Xiaogang and other human warriors, but to beware of those creators who spy on human civilization.

Becca is well aware of what human civilization has done, and even knows everything that Dao Ali and Chu Tianjiang do, so other powerful creators have similar abilities, and it is possible that they are spying on human civilization. Obviously, these powerful creators are also wary of human civilization.

Perhaps, Bea is one of them.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang was not worried that these warriors would tell other warriors about the skills of mastering the Star Core Source, because if he and Ali were the only ones who had mastered the skill of transforming the space debris of the four-dimensional universe into the Star Core Source, they would have to provide the Star Core Source for the other human warriors.

While Chu Tianjiang was doing this, Zhang Xiaogang promoted five thousand centurions and disbanded the centralized team.

By the time Chu Tianjiang came out of subspace with five thousand super soldiers, the military strength of human civilization had reached an unprecedented height.

"How are you going to arrange these 5,000 super soldiers?"

"You gave them super strength, how do you think it should be arranged?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled reluctantly and said, "I think they should be used together." ”

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and did not object.

"Of course, that may not make much sense." Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "It's better to let them have a dual identity like this." ”

"What do you mean?"

"In the early stages of the war, which is the crucial stage of winning the war, they have to concentrate on fighting and use their combat power to the limit, making sure that they can defeat a powerful enemy, even the creator. After that, let them serve as Legion Commanders, and each lead the Legion to conquer the enemy-controlled star system. ”

"This ......"

"Of course, in the early stage, I will be in charge, and in the later stage, you will be in charge, how about it?"

Zhang Xiaogang frowned, thought for a while, and then nodded.

"Then, let's go back and discuss the war plan."

"Okay, we'll go back now."

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly, he knew that this matter had been between him and Zhang Xiaogang, and had become the separation between him and Zhang Xiaogang.

When Chu Tianjiang proposed to use the super soldiers together, Zhang Xiaogang's attitude was very unfriendly.

Obviously, in Zhang Xiaogang's opinion, Chu Tianjiang wanted to control these super soldiers and make them his and Ali's guards, not under Zhang Xiaogang's direct control.

Then, Chu Tianjiang proposed another way, and Zhang Xiaogang's face looked better.

It's just that after Chu Tianjiang proposed to let five thousand super soldiers serve as the commander of the legion and disperse the action, Zhang Xiaogang's feelings must have been even worse.

Very simply, this means that even if Chu Tianjiang did not directly command these super soldiers, it would be impossible for Zhang Xiaogang to let them all concentrate and act, and it would be impossible to control all the super soldiers. In this way, Zhang Xiaogang would not be able to use these super soldiers to deal with Ali.

In fact, this is also what Chu Tianjiang wants to achieve.

The problem is that if Chu Tianjiang did this, it was tantamount to making his position clear, that is, he would not let Zhang Xiaogang deal with Ali, and would do his best to protect Ali.

In a sense, this is also equivalent to Chu Tianjiang making a choice between human civilization and Ali.

Although Chu Tianjiang did not give up on human civilization, let alone betray human civilization, his attitude towards Ali was enough for Zhang Xiaogang to regard him as an enemy, and he was the second enemy after Ali. If one day, Zhang Xiaogang had to deal with Ali for the sake of human civilization, he would count Chu Tianjiang as well, and realize that only after getting rid of Chu Tianjiang could he let go of dealing with Ali.

Chu Tianjiang understood this truth, and he also knew that after doing such a thing, he and Zhang Xiaogang had already broken up.

Not now, of course, but someday in the future.

Before that day came, he and Zhang Xiaogang were still the best friends, because their purpose was also to make human civilization strong enough, so that human civilization could win this cruel war of intelligent civilization, and let human civilization gain the right to live.
