"Deal?"

Zhang Yuan sat in the command chair in the cabin, supported his chin with one hand, and looked at the handsome sunny guy with blond hair in front of him playfully.

"Do you have any trading chips now?"

Lu Meng on the side said in a low voice: "Lord Governor, don't talk nonsense with him, this guy is very cunning, and his only bargaining chip now is nothing more than some kind of news related to our interests, but when this news comes out of his mouth, there will definitely be a point out of ten, and the value is not high." ”

Lu Meng's words are not unreasonable, but a wise lord must be good at listening to different voices, he looked at Roland, and his dark eyes looked very deep: "What do you want to say, you can say it directly." ”

Roland is now absolutely weak, and he has no support in his heart, in this case, he is facing a strong opponent like Zhang Yuan, and he is a little uneasy in his heart.

As soon as this emotion appeared, Roland couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "Nervous, nervous, scared, how many years, I have faced such emotions again, hehe, life is really ironic." ”

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Commander Lu guessed correctly, I have a message related to your interests, it is about the Dark Nebula. ”

Zhang Yuan's heart sank, and he said, "Let's hear it." ”

Roland grinned, and a stiff smile appeared on his handsome face: "Lord Governor, have you ever learned about the climate change of Blue Mercury?" ”

"I know a little bit about it." Zhang Yuan nodded, the planetary climate of Bishui is very similar to that of the Earth, the proportion of water covered by the surface is similar to that of the Earth, there are also ice caps in the North and South Poles, and there are also spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Roland continued: "Currently, Mercury's oceans cover 72% of the planet's surface area, and in 10,000-dollar time units, Mercury is in an interglacial period and will move towards a major ice age in 100,000 years. By then, most of the ocean's surface will freeze and sea levels will drop by at least 200 meters, exposing more land, am I right? ”

Zhang Yuan recalled the information he had seen in the past, which was indeed consistent with what Roland said, so he nodded: "That's true." ”

Roland continued: "I now know a world, the civilization in the world is still quite primitive, and the control of the whole world is far inferior to the current interstellar civilization, about the same as the level of nuclear fusion that has just been discovered, and the time transition between glacial and interglacial periods is only 1,000 years, and the transformation is very abrupt. Now, the world is in an ice age, and once the ice age passes, and when it comes to interglacial periods, then the sea level will rise dramatically, inundating a large amount of land. Many predators in the sea will also follow the rise of the sea to encroach on the living space of land creatures. Your Excellency the Governor, how do you think that if there is such a catastrophe in the world, how should the civilization living in the whole world respond? ”

These words made Zhang Yuan frown slightly, he knew that Roland had something to say, but he didn't understand the metaphor in his words for a while.

He instinctively replied: "If it is such a world-class disaster, and it comes so suddenly, and the level of civilization is so low, it will inevitably be greatly affected." It is even possible that they will not be able to adapt to the drastic climate change and will be wiped out, right? ”

Roland smiled slightly: "Lord Governor, what you said is not wrong at all. Now, what I'm going to say is, if the world I'm talking about is the land of the stars, and the so-called sea is the dark nebula, and in another 10 years, the ice age will suddenly end, and the range of the dark nebula will increase dramatically by at least 10%, what do you think will happen? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhang Yuan and Lu Meng gasped together.

Immediately following, Lu Meng immediately said: "Lord Governor, I'm afraid this person is alarmist!" The Dark Nebula of the Starlight Lands has never expanded, as it has ever been. ”

"Ever? How long is the history? Roland looked at Lu Meng coldly.

Lu Meng was suddenly stunned, and after a long time, she said softly: "Detailed records, only not ...... Less than 1000 years. ”

"Yes, less than 1,000 years, where did the historical materials from more than 1,000 years ago go? The Crimson Empire has been in existence for more than 1,600 years, where is it for another 600 years? Don't you say that the technical conditions were not met at that time? Commander Lu, you used to be a high-ranking member of the Gray Guard, and you have seen a lot of confidential information, you carefully recall and recall, is there anything missing in the historical records? Well? ”

Roland's words were pressing step by step, Lu Meng's face turned pale, and cold sweat was dripping down her forehead, she had been persuaded by Roland.

Zhang Yuan's face remained unchanged, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said: "Master Control Brain, simulate the star map of Heyue Province after the boundary of the dark nebula increases by 10%. ”

"Hum~" There was a soft sound, a real star map appeared in the air, and a specific gradual process was shown, about 5 seconds later, the expansion of the dark nebula was completed, and as a result, the volume of Heyue was directly reduced by more than 50%, and many important star fields were shrouded in the dark nebula, and the key channel was also blocked by the nebula, almost becoming an independent star field wrapped in the dark nebula, as for the flame horn where Zhang Yuan was currently establishing the God of War Workshop, it disappeared directly.

Even if there are still many places in Heyue that are not covered by the Dark Nebula, at least more than 90% of these places are starry sky deserts, which are meaningless, and of the remaining 10%, 30% are threatened by starry sky beasts.

In other words, if such a thing really happened, then all the things he was doing in Ha Viet Province now would be meaningless.

This result is very bad!

Zhang Yuan looked at the changed star map, his face sank like water, and he didn't say a word.

He didn't speak, and the entire command cabin became silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely oppressive.

This silence lasted for a full three minutes before Zhang Yuan broke it himself, and he looked at Xing Ling: "Do you know about this? ”

Xing Ling spread his hands: "My home planet is in the Star Sea Corridor, thousands of light years away from here. However, in my memory, the Empire's exploration team seems to have been to the land where the starry sky shines, and the conclusion at that time was that this star field was wrapped in unbreakable power, the development cost was extremely high, and the Star Sea Corridor was rich in resources, so we naturally would not do thankless work. ”

On the side, Roland said: "It is estimated that at that time, the land of starlight was in the ice age. ”

Zhang Yuan was silent again, this time the silence only lasted for a minute, and he suddenly looked up at Roland: "You seem to know a lot about the situation of the Dark Nebula." ”

Roland's back was a little cold, and he hurriedly snorted: "If you live for a long time, you will naturally see more." If you're like me and have lived for more than 3,000 years, you've certainly seen far more than I am. ”

Zhang Yuan asked again: "Do you think it is possible for me to develop Heyue's technology with all my might in 10 years to deal with this disaster?" ”

Roland looked at Zhou Yuan in a daze, a little incredulous: "Lord Governor, knowing this information, shouldn't you seek a way out?" You have to know that this is a big event involving the entire starry sky, and human beings can only obey it, and they can't disobey it. ”

Xing Ling also said: "Governor Zhang, while it's still too early to invest, it is only right to retreat quickly." I know why you are doing this, it is not easy to achieve such an achievement now, it is a pity to withdraw like this, but people have to look forward, you see, if you cooperate with me...... Oh, no, no, no, I should say that I joined your command, and we will work together to build another river, it will be easy. ”

Roland immediately helped: "Lord Governor, the matter of the alliance is also counted as my share." As long as you join, in order to reassure you, I am also willing to wear this headband. ”

Lu Meng didn't speak, she pursed her lips tightly, her eyes looked at Zhang Yuan without blinking, she was waiting for his decision.

Zhang Yuan's face was unwavering, and after a long time, he suddenly asked Lu Meng: "Commander Lu, the Dark Shura Empire is actually controlled by the Chaos Alliance, and the Chaos Alliance is of the same origin as the Dark Heaven, and both are actually controlled by the Crazy Ghost Race, right?" ”

"Yes." Lu Meng nodded, during this time, she sent a large number of people to investigate the details of the Dark Shura Kingdom, and got a lot of news from the other party.

Zhang Yuan looked at Roland again: "Mr. Roland, the way you control energy is impressive, this kind of control method makes me feel very familiar, if I guess correctly, you are also from the ghost clan inside the dark nebula, right?" ”

Roland's face changed several times, and finally he spoke: "Lord Governor, controlling energy is my talent, and I am a real member of the Aum Empire!" ”

Zhang Yuan didn't argue with him, he immediately contacted the Nebula Messenger Landing, and after Landing's virtual image appeared, Zhang Yuan pointed at Roland: "Landing, do you know him?" ”

Landing didn't pay attention to Roland, but as soon as Zhang Yuan pointed it out, she turned her head to look over, and after a glance, her eyes widened: "You....... You are the sage Luo ...... Rowland! How did you end up here? ”

Zhang Yuan asked, "Sage Roland? How so? ”

Landing explained, "The Sage is the name of the strongest person of the Ghost Clan, similar to the God of War in the Star Empire. Roland has always been a legend, and the energy characteristics he exudes are widely known, and I didn't expect to meet him here. ”

Now, Roland could no longer argue, he looked at Landing with a blue face: "Traitor! ”

Lan Ding's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said to Zhang Yuan: "Lord Governor, I'm a little uncomfortable, can I turn off the communication?" ”

"Go and get some rest, your body matters."

'Zi~' Randing is gone.

Zhang Yuan looked at Roland and said with a faint smile: "Instigated the Star Spirit to form a salvation alliance in a hurry to control the main origin of the spiritual primordial stones of the Aum Empire, so that the Aum Empire is in turmoil, and there is no time to take care of the battlefield of the Behemoth Star Domain." On the other side, the Dark Shura Kingdom got the opportunity to consolidate its position on the one hand, and use troops on the Earth Federation on the other. You ghost clans, you have a good calculation. ”

Roland looked down at the ground and was silent, for now he had nothing more to say.

Zhang Yuan sneered: "Judging from what the Dark Shura Kingdom and the Dark Heaven have done, the Ghost Clan is the great enemy of the interstellar civilization. If the Dark Nebula expands, I will retreat, how will I defend against your onslaught in the future? ”

Hearing this, Roland raised his head suddenly: "Governor Zhang, the expansion of the dark nebula is the will of the dark master, and it is the general trend of the universe, you can't stop it!" ”

Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and sneered: "I don't know if I can stop it." What I do know is that I am going to take your life sacrifice knife now. Star Spirit! ”

"Ah~Ah~ I'm here!" Xing Ling's brain couldn't turn around, and the situation was changing too quickly.

Zhang Yuan looked into her eyes, his gaze was like electricity: "I ask you, you and I cooperate, can we spy on the mind of this ghost?" ”

Xing Ling looked at Roland, then at Zhang Yuan, and nodded: "It's worth a try." ”
