224 Always remember yourself as you are

In a sense, Wu Xiaoqing does not have much sense of identity with the "human" race.

He was abandoned by his parents in his childhood, and he has always lived like a gangster in the village, not to mention the completely abstract concept of human beings, and even the basic local complex, Wu Xiaoqing has almost no roots.

This world is indifferent to Wu Xiaoqing, and Wu Xiaoqing naturally does not have any nostalgia for this world.

After the search and rescue team appeared, Wu Xiaoqing was almost emotionally one-sided, seeing this supernatural existence as his "big brother".

"Since the search and rescue team asked you to do it, it will definitely be good for you," Shen Changwen said, "but I still have to remind you of some things." ”

Wu Xiaoqing noticed that Shen Changwen turned his head slightly at this time, avoiding his gaze: "No matter how much this operation changes you...... I hope you will always remember what you are now. ”

Wu Xiaoqing was a little puzzled: "It shouldn't have changed his appearance, right?" It's not plastic surgery. ”

Shen Changwen smiled awkwardly and patted him on the shoulder: "Forget it, it's okay...... Let's go to a meeting. ”

"Yan Xiu!" Wu Xiaoqing took out the radio and called the other party, "Come on the sword!" ”

Ten seconds later, a flying sword came to a steady stop at the door of their room. The flying sword was not unsheathed, Wu Xiaoqing stretched out a hand, held the hilt of the sword, and then asked Shen Changwen to hold the scabbard. The two of them followed the bus, and the passengers who had no seats but could only grab the railings were quickly carried to their destination by the flying sword.

……

"Professor Ye, this is the ...... glasses" After entering the conference room, according to the instructions of the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing took the initiative to hand over his glasses to Yevgeny to facilitate his participation in the discussion of the meeting - most of the participants were Chinese, so the language of this meeting would also be Chinese. Yevgeny's Chinese level could barely understand some everyday words, so it was very inconvenient. Wu Xiaoqing's glasses come with an instant barrage.

"Thank you." Yevgeny said a word in Chinese.

The meeting took place in the only gravity-defying area on the space station, and the place was not very large. Wu Xiaoqing, Shen Changwen, Wang Youquan, Xu Yan, Yevgeny, Yan Xiu, as well as the search and rescue team, and even the robot administrator of this space station, all came in, and there was almost no space left in the entire room.

There were eight attendees, including five earthlings, one ascending realm human, and two non-living intelligences.

Of the eight attendees, five had the right to speak, and the other three were observers – Yan Xiu, Xu Yan, and Wang Youquan.

The main content of the meeting was about the next stage of military operations in the Ascension Realm, as well as the planning of the existence form of the Ascension Realm civilization after the action.

First, it was the search and rescue team that introduced the current military situation.

"Within the entire Ascension Realm, there are still 132 sects that have not joined the rebels, and of these 132 sects, 48 have completely abandoned the sect's territory and fled in all directions. 12 were completely besieged, and there was no possibility of escape. Fifty-one have collectively joined the coalition of the Nine factions and become part of the Nine factions, and 10 are asking to surrender and join the resistance. In the end, the remaining nine ......"

The remaining nine major factions have an extremely elite coalition army in their hands, with more than 40,000 people, and the electricity they have in their hands is calculated in units of Void Stones, more than 30 Void Stones.

Literally, the strength of this army is quite amazing, and it can be said that it is the largest army that has ever appeared in the history of the Ascension Realm. And now the fact is that this mighty army is struggling to survive in the face of an even more terrible force.

This army is now facing a rebel army of more than 30 million men. Of these 30 million people, about 60,000 were funded from the space station, and they brought out with them, and there were more than 60,000 pieces*, and counting the previous small* ones, almost each of these 40,000 people had to deal with more than two*.

With the quality of the coalition of the nine major factions, if it were in an open area, let them alone face a small phalanx of hundreds of people on the other side, as well as two *, their victory would be almost inevitable.

But now, the entire Nine factions have almost lost their ability to attack the rebels.

In total, close to 100,000* of the interference area has completely surrounded the core area. 40,000 people are now trapped on more than 30 islands, large and small, and communication between them has been almost cut off. Of course, these encirclements can be broken at a cost – but there is much more to the encirclement than one.

"They are fully capable of breaking the encirclement, but this is meaningless to them, because even if people can run out, it is impossible for them to take out the large number of spirit stones accumulated by their sect."

"These spirit stones are the last and most important resource in the Ascension Realm, just like the last batch of food in the famine. For the sake of these spirit stones, they must fight to the death against the rebels. ”

"It's the same for the rebels, who are now retreating, and their huge numbers will consume all the spirit stones they have looted in a few months. Therefore, the outbreak of a decisive battle is inevitable. But! ”

The search and rescue team paused, expressing the importance of what was next: "We can't let this happen. ”

Then there is the interpretation.

The reasons are complex and multifaceted, and we have to say little by little.

The first, and most important, is the energy problem.

Once the decisive battle begins, the Nine Great Factions will inevitably use the Void Stone in a big way at all costs. There was no room for them to retreat. Among the nine major factions, there are still dozens of Qianyang fingers left, and once the nine major factions lose their scruples and use the Qianyang fingers unscrupulously, the consumption of energy will be amazing.

In this way, the true outcome is out of their control, and it is very likely that at the end of the war, the remnants of the Void Stone will not be enough to complete the mission. Even if it was enough - they needed to take the Void Stones from the victors of the decisive battle.

It's okay for the rebels to say, after all, all the * control is in the hands of the gathering team, and their cultivation is not high. But if the Nine Great Factions temporarily withstood the decisive battle and the war turned into a war of attrition, then in the end, even if the rebels won, the Nine Great Factions would definitely use up the last spirit stone.

War is not their goal, but the stone.

Second, on the issue of rebirth.

From the video data obtained from the short-haired guest, the search and rescue team quickly analyzed an important data - in this world, there is a limit to the number of places for rebirth, which is about one million to two million.

According to the regular time of a rebirth is calculated as two months, that is to say, within two months, no matter how many people die in the Ascension Realm, after two months, there will only be a maximum of one million people alive. The rest of the people will be "queued up for rebirth" for the next period of time.

In the history of the Ascension Realm, the phenomenon of "prolonged rebirth time" has occurred many times because of the large number of rebirths, and each time it is basically after the battle of the Void Stone.

The long time to respawn means that once the war descends into a war of attrition, the rebels may face the problem of not being able to replenish their manpower. This result is even worse than running out of Void Stones - because it means that the Nine Great Factions system will continue. They can't even implement the option of sending energy from the planet.

Thirdly, about power towers.

The robot administrator of the space station came to their meeting this time, just to remind them of the fact that the power tower that they destroyed before is now being restored.

The ecological hardware of the entire Ascension Realm is essentially fully automated. When an important function is missing or in danger, the system will automatically call on the space station's energy source, as well as all materials and equipment, to fix the problem.

In the history of the previous Ascension Realm, most of this kind of repair work was used to "mend the sky", that is, to repair the outermost layer of the planet's "membrane". This time, the entire power war was destroyed, and it was a very high priority repair task for the entire system - almost all the remaining energy in the fusion furnace was used to repair the power tower.

The Administrator's role is only to control the station, and he has no right to interfere with the termination of the restoration mission itself, because termination would endanger the safety of the entire ecosystem. But he was able to see the approximate progress of the restoration.

This repair is very fast, there are still 17 days to go, and the hardware of the new power tower can be repaired successfully, of course, because of the lack of energy, even if the power tower runs again, the output of the aura will not be as abundant as before. But...... The impact on their mission of salvation was decisive.

These three points are all technical reasons, hard conditions, and they can already be confirmed, and there is no room for negotiation at all. It can be said that it is basically bad news.

But there are some good ones.

First of all, of course, the current battlefield situation, the encirclement has been successful, that is to say, the current nine major factions are only the nine major factions in name, and in fact, they have been separated from each other. Of course, their main forces can get through the way regardless of attrition - if the rebels make any big moves. The search and rescue team decided to send Yan Xiu to contact the nine major factions again - but this time, instead of directly contacting their overall representatives, they privately contacted the heads of the nine major factions individually.

Of course, the main candidate for negotiation is Yan Xiu, but it is not impossible to consider other people - such as Samadhi Zhenren and Bai Feng. With their knowledge of the nine factions, if they are used, they can play a very important role in the negotiations.

Then there are further details about rebirth.

The search and rescue team used a computer to play a simple demonstration video, and the playback tool was a 3D projector found in the space station.

"The source of the video is an indigenous researcher, and the tool used to set up this image is a holographic video recorder – which can be seen as the opposite of a 3D projection. 3D projection is to play the image, while this kind of camera is to record the image. After the search and rescue team finished speaking, the lights in the room disappeared and fell into darkness, and in this darkness, the content of the video began to appear.
