Chapter 369: Potential Crisis
As early as when Mu Chen first met the Cybtons, he had a vague uneasiness about this unusually low-key race with great potential, and always felt that they seemed to be planning some big action.
This is not Mu Chen's persecution paranoia, but the crisis warning talent that has never made a mistake is reminding him.
On the one hand, Mu Chen arranged for the intelligence officer of the fleet to secretly investigate this matter, and on the other hand, he also contacted Sister Alice and asked her to help keep an eye on it.
For the ability to collect intelligence, although the mechanical people are talented, but as the soul master of the light brain network, Alice is not left behind, recently with the continuous expansion of the influence of the Earth Federation, the light brain has also come to every corner of the universe with the footsteps of the earthlings, Alice can be regarded as truly able to know the world without leaving home.
"Based on the information I've gathered, you're probably right......" Alice said with a serious face, and she vaguely sensed a great crisis.
"Well, my worst fear is about to happen." Mu Chen sighed and said, "How serious?" ”
"I managed to hack into a secret base of the cybbanimen in the Taurus galaxy, and the scene was so terrifying that even I was deeply shocked." Alice said with some fear, "The entire giant planet has been hollowed out from the inside by them, and there are countless mechanical warriors in it, in trillions, and they are produced on an assembly line, which is very well-made, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated, and more importantly, their production speed is terrifying, and the number of production per day reaches millions ......"
Mu Chen also felt a little numb in his scalp, but heard Alice continue.
"That's not the worst thing, I suspect it's just one of their many secret bases, I'm afraid there are many such arsenals that produce mechanical warriors in places I haven't found yet......"
Mu Chen's brows frowned, this is really a big trouble, if the Zerg invade the Earth Federation and are sure to defeat them, then in the future, once the mechanical people launch a full-scale war, I am afraid that no race in the whole universe can resist this wave of frenzy.
"I tried to analyze the military strength of the Earth Federation, and the probability of victory is infinitely close to zero, even if you unite all the alien civilizations, the probability of defeating the mechanical race is less than one percent, and this is still the result of my calculation of your command ability." Alice whispered.
"I see, frankly I really don't want to be an enemy of this kind of force, if only I could get the cybanimen to let go of their prejudices and hatred."
"It's not easy to say, since the formation of their own autonomous consciousness, the cyborg people have been discriminated against by other aliens, and have been treated unfairly for nearly 10,000 years, their anger has accumulated for so long, how can it be said that they can easily let go of their hatred?" Alice calmly helped Mu Chen analyze, hoping that he could dispel this unrealistic idea and prepare early.
"It is necessary to actively prepare for war, but if you can not start a war with the mechmen, it is best to find a way to avoid this kind of war, I can think of it with my heels, if you really want to fight, I am afraid that the Earth Federation will lose very badly, this kind of steel and iron enemy is even more terrifying than the Zerg army."
"And what are you going to do?" Alice asked curiously.
Mu Chen covered his forehead and pondered: "Let me think about it......"
Mu Chen's worries were necessary, the more technology the Earth Federation mastered, the more jealous he became of the weapons made by this technology.
I've heard a saying before: the advancement of technology has made humanity stronger, including the ability to self-destruct.
Take the Zerg
It is true that the Zerg's invasion of the universe has brought great disasters, countless alien races have been displaced, and countless planets have been covered with the slime of the Zerg and have become insignificant.
But if you think about it from an extremely rational point of view, the existence of the Zerg does not have much impact on the universe itself, it is nothing more than a change of owner for these occupied planets, and the slime produced by the Zerg may still be beneficial to the planet itself after 10,000 years of accumulation and precipitation, and they are corpses and excrement that will eventually become organic matter, constantly nourishing the planet they occupy.
The technological race represented by the mechanical people is different, the war they create is irreversible, and they are constantly exploiting the resources of the universe, without any positive impact on the universe itself.
Even the earthlings are the same, the non-renewable resources of oil and gas have been used by the earthlings for hundreds of years, almost squeezing the earth dry, and with the continuous progress of science and technology, almost all the resources that have been discovered have their own uses, and the resources on the earth have gradually become scarce, so people have to look at other planets in space.
This is a problem that intelligent beings have to face, if they want to develop, if they want to be strong, and even if they want to survive, they must use resources, which is a paradox that no one can change.
Mu Chen doesn't have the disease of the Virgin, although he knows some environmental protection things, he can't do anything, and the reason why he thinks of these is because he is fundamentally unwilling to go to war with the mechanical clan.
The cost of such a battle will be enormous, not only affecting the major civilizations in the universe, but even affecting the universe itself.
Come to think of it, a single shot of the Star Destroyer can destroy a large planet, but it is much more difficult to create a planet than to destroy it.
And when the war with the mechanical clan starts, the collision between the two high-tech civilizations, and how many planets will be destroyed, this is something that Mu Chen does not dare to imagine and does not want to see.
Mu Chen would rather fight the Zerg ten times than fight the Cybarians once.
"Tell me, what is the final appeal of the mechs in this war brewing by the mechs?" Mu Chen asked.
Alice thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Maybe it's freedom and equality, the cyborgs have been discriminated against by the carbon-based creatures in the Cosmic Alliance for so many years, they must want to be recognized and respected, maybe the reason for the war is because they have not been able to get this kind of fair treatment......"
"That's right, I also think that it should be like this, the cybarians can't see the possibility of being treated fairly, so they have endured the humiliation for thousands of years, wanting to overthrow this cosmic alliance in one fell swoop, and eliminate all the carbon-based creatures that discriminate against them, so as to establish a group with mechanical creatures as the core, so that no one will discriminate against them anymore." Mu Chen said seriously.
"Even so, we can't change this situation, how can the cybarians give up so easily after preparing for so long? No matter how influential the Earth Federation is in the Cosmic Alliance, it is impossible to change everyone's deep-rooted thinking. Alice said worriedly, obviously not optimistic about Mu Chen's plans.
"I didn't want to save the whole universe and let the mechanical people let go of the hatred that had been deposited in my heart for thousands of years, I don't have that much ability." Mu Chen said very self-consciously, "However, the Earth Federation has only been a member of the Cosmic Alliance for a short time, and there is no animosity with the Mechn, which means that we actually have a chance to avoid this crisis." ”
"You're trying to make overtures to the cyborgs?" Alice asked in surprise.
"That's right," Mu Chen nodded and said,
"Cyborgs have their own consciousness, autonomous consciousness and emotions, and they are already the same intelligent civilization as earthlings, although they look a little strange, but we can accept aliens that evolved from fish and birds and even plants, why can't we accept cyborgs evolved from machines?"
"Your idea is peculiar, but can you guarantee that all earthlings will accept it? You know, they haven't even fully embraced human cloning. Alice thought of who she was, and couldn't help but feel a little lost.
After Alice was born with independent consciousness, she used cloning technology to create the current body, wanting to integrate into the earthling society, but now it seems that this goal is still not achieved, and she does not even dare to publicly identify herself, for fear that it will cause panic and hostility among the people.
And the same is true of the clone army she created for Mu Chen, although she fights side by side with the earthling warriors, none of the clones are willing to reveal their identity, on the one hand, out of inferiority, and on the other hand, out of fear for the future.
"This is indeed a difficult problem, but it is not a way to hide it all the time, the clone warriors have paid a lot to protect the solar system and the earthlings, so it is reasonable to give you an explanation, I ignored this matter." Mu Chen said with some self-reproach.
"It's none of your business, I've always regarded you as a friend I can trust, and I will always trust you like this, but getting the earthlings to accept the clones is not something that can be achieved overnight, I'm willing to wait, and all the clones are willing to wait." Alice whispered comfort, but she didn't know the bottom of her heart, the wait was long and unbearable, and who knows how long the clones would have to wait.
Mu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with some excitement: "Maybe the matter of the mechanical people will be a good opportunity, if the earthlings can smoothly accept and recognize the mechanical people, and treat them with an equal attitude, maybe accepting the clones will no longer be too big a problem." ”
Alice was also excited: "That's right, if the earthlings can accept the cyborgs, then there is no reason why they can't accept the clones who shed their blood and sacrificed for them......"
"Then let's do it, I'll arrange it immediately, try to get in touch with the autontons, and reach a friendly consensus, first set the tone, and then slowly test the reaction of the people, and strive to make more people accept them from their hearts, once it can be determined that it is successful, the matter of revealing the identity of the clone will be feasible."
"If you do succeed, the clones will always remember your kindness." Alice said sincerely.
"You've done so much for me, and that's what I'm supposed to do, and besides, I don't want much for clones, I just want some living space, and I even feel a little indebted to you." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"No matter what the outcome, we'll always be best friends." Alice also said with a smile.
After discussing the matter, Alice wanted to say goodbye and leave, but just in time for Mu Chen's family to have dinner, she stayed at Mu Chen's kind invitation and had a light meal before leaving.
"Aunt Alice, you're so good-looking." As soon as Yaoyao saw Alice, she was instantly conquered by her perfect appearance, and couldn't help but say in a milky voice.
It is said that children's words are from the bottom of their hearts, Alice was praised like this, she was so happy that she could hardly help herself, hugged Yaoyao and kissed her fiercely, and did not hesitate to recognize Yaoyao as her goddaughter, and specially asked people to send a lot of gifts over, spoiling her even more than Mu Chen.
When Angela saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, how good is it to go on like this, there is another pet girl crazy demon, Yaoyao will have to be spoiled by them in the future.
