Chapter 23: Change
On the flagship of the Earth Fleet, Mi Peiyu and Zhang Wenqi met Zheng Dong. The three of them deliberated for a while and decided to carry out the surrender ceremony immediately, but the lower-ranking officers were extremely tough on the handling of these "supermen", and they demanded that the "supermen" be executed on the grounds that the "supermen" of the Third Fleet participated in the massacre of ordinary humans in Tianyuan.
"We were not involved in the massacre, it was the First Fleet and the Second Fleet that were really involved in the massacre." Arthur made a statement at the surrender ceremony, "The Third Fleet did not commit a massacre. ”
Eventually, the fact that the Third Fleet did not participate in the massacre was confirmed by looking at the information recorded by the Third Fleet's artificial intelligence.
The Third Fleet was receiving the surrender of the Barnard civilization in the Barnard system at the beginning of the massacre.
Surrendered Arthur and his super-soldiers were stripped of all access to technology and placed in a concentration camp on Earth.
When Zheng Dong went to visit Arthur, he saw him playing on the grass with his family.
"Hello, General Arthur." Zheng Dong stretched out his hand.
Arthur leaned over respectfully, shook hands with Zheng Dong, and then said, "I suspect that Mr. Zheng Dong is here to inquire about the information of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet. ”
"Yes, why don't you invite me to your room for a while?" Zheng Dong smiled.
"Oh, then please." Arthur led Zheng Dong to the villa.
The room was elegantly furnished, there were no modern appliances, and the teapot was steaming.
The sound of Arthur's grandchildren frolicking outside the house added to the tranquility.
The two sat opposite each other, Zheng Dong stroked the cool bamboo chair, and said, "Your culture doesn't seem to be special. ”
"In terms of art appreciation, the Third Fleet is the closest to the public." Arthur poured tea and handed it to Zheng Dong.
"Can you tell me about the First Fleet and the Second Fleet?" Zheng Dong asked.
"I will thank you for your kindness by telling you everything I know."
"Kindness?" Zheng Dong raised his eyebrows.
"If the First Fleet or the Second Fleet had mastered the technology of the Eighth Age of Technology like yours, they would cut down the enemy mercilessly." Arthur said, "Your humanist ideas have not faded with the progress of your technology. You must know that in the Seventh Technological Era, the Celestial Yuan human beings almost no longer need the word surrender. In the battle, the weaker side will be mercilessly slaughtered, such as the returnees represented by the Fourth Fleet. ”
"In that case, I'm a paranormal behind the times."
"It's just that I'm backward in thought."
Zheng Dong was silent for a while, and suddenly became dumbfounded, he seemed to think too much of himself, he was just an individual left over from the previous generation, and he didn't represent anything.
"It's not backward, right......" Zheng Dong remembered that the messenger had made him forget about the planetary emotions, and he was a little stunned.
"It's just a personality to an individual, but now that you're the only human being on Earth who can compete with the First and Second Fleets, you have to make yourself cold-blooded and think of yourself as a race that just wants to survive."
"I'll think about it, what is the strength of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet?"
"The combat effectiveness of the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet is not much different, but the First Fleet has always been the leader of science and technology in the human race of Tianyuan. However, under the technology of your eighth technological era, it should be difficult to resist. ”
"Except for the three major fleets, what other forces do the Heavenly Yuan humans have?"
"There are two dependent civilizations, the Barnard civilization and the Celestial Planet Primitive Civilization."
"Isn't there a mass?" Zheng Dong frowned slightly.
