Federation of the Solar System, Emergency Conference Hall.

The hall has only been used twice since it was built eleven years ago, and each time it opens it marks an existential crisis for all of humanity, when thirteen members of the Federation's Standing Committee will take their seats in the hall and make decisions that affect the fate of humanity.

The first and second were caused by space thieves, who, with the support of dark capital, developed into an armed force that seriously affected the stability of the Federation, and even mastered weapons capable of destroying the Earth. But both crises were successfully navigated under the shrewd leadership of the leaders.

At this time, eleven ordinary members of the Standing Committee were sitting around the round table, although all of them had heavy faces, but the sharpness and calmness in their eyes hinted at the reason why they were sitting in this position.

The lights are dim and the virtual screen is ejected, and the voice of the artificial intelligence sounds.

"The meeting was presided over by Chairman Mi Peiyu, and Vice Chairman Zhang Wenqi was responsible for supervision."

The automatic door opened, and Mi Peiyu, who was dressed in a military uniform, walked over, and behind him, Zhang Wenqi, who had entered middle age, faded away from his youth, and his eyebrows became indifferent, wearing a men's cheongsam painted with dark red patterns.

The two are in place, and the AI broadcasts images of the destruction of Pluto's city on a virtual screen.

The ordinary members of the Standing Committee frowned slightly, but did not speak.

"Now the situation is clear, the enemy has arrived with the intention of invasion or enslavement, and the power of technology is far greater than that of the earth." "The top priority is the implementation of the human preservation plan. ”

Zhang Wenqi lowered his eyebrows, and then said: "This is the case, and defending the earth is the most unwise choice. We should deal with it with absolute rationality. ”

"In the past twenty years, our science and technology have made unprecedented leaps and bounds, reaching the pinnacle of the so-called seventh technological era in the universe," a member of the Standing Committee stood up, "and we have weapons that are no less powerful than the enemy's laser cannons." ”

"It's our most powerful weapon, and it's cumbersome and energy-intensive." Mi Peiyu said.

"But that's just a conventional weapon for the enemy." Zhang Wenqi added.

"Can you, negotiate?" It was proposed.

"We don't know anything about the enemy," Zhang Wenqi shook his head, "and we don't even know what their purpose is." ”

"Maybe the destruction of the city of Pluto is just a deterrent? Forcing us to negotiate? "Someone said.

"The most important point is that we do not know the purpose of the enemy, and for the sake of conservatism, the human reservation plan must be implemented."

Zhang Wenqi listened to the deputy's speech and nodded slightly.

"Agreed."

"Approve ......"

In the end, the Human Preservation Plan was unanimously approved by thirteen votes, and it was immediately ordered to be implemented.

"To appease the people and secretly send away high-quality genetic seeds."

"Military, delay the enemy's offensive as much as possible, this is a doomed war."

One order after another is being issued, and one by one front-line information is also being fed back.

"Enemy ships stopped in Neptune's orbit after destroying the Neptune base."

"All departments, speed up!"

"Pacify the people, be sure to contain the panic!"

“……”

In the busy Space Force headquarters, Mi Peiyu, who was deploying defense forces against enemy ships, received a message.

"This is the pilot of the patrol boat who made contact with the enemy ship for the first time, and the message from Wang Xinghai."

"What about others?" Mi Peiyu looked at the loading bar on the virtual screen and asked casually.

"Sacrificed."

Mi Peiyu was silent.

"Loaded ......"

"The cruiser successfully received some of the spillover communications from the enemy ship and completed the analysis with the help of the knowledge base left by the enlightener." The artificial intelligence said, and then, on the virtual screen, fragments of broken red text appeared.

"The Seventh Fleet, which has been migrated through the naked wormhole......"

"The Tianyao Galaxy, a race similar to the Tiancang and Tianyuan civilizations found is the home planet."

"This Red Flame Empire's civilization purge plan will never allow any civilization above the Third Technological Era to be missed, if it succumbs, send a fleet to station, and if it resists, exterminate it."

“……”

Mi Peiyu and the generals looked gloomy.

"Red Flame Empire...... Cleaning schedule. ”

"The human reservation plan, useless! Even if you go to other galaxies, you will be cleaned! Humans can only wander! ”

"Send the message to the Emergency Standing Committee." After Mi Peiyu finished speaking, he turned around and went to prepare for the defensive deployment, and the uneasiness that appeared in his eyes the moment he saw the news had disappeared, and was replaced by bloody and resolute.

"Who wants to escape from their home planet and become a slave?"

"Who wants to wander in the universe?"

"Since there is no escape, fight to the end over there!"

When the news reached the Emergency Standing Committee, Zhang Wenqi presided over a meeting, then passed a resolution, and then convened a national meeting.

In the hall of the federal headquarters in the orbit of Mars, Zhang Wenqi announced the news to the 3.4 billion people of the entire solar system.

The pent-up panic erupted in an instant, people smashed TV screens, howled, vented by all means, and of course, most of them restrained themselves rationally, and although fear made their legs tremble, the courage of being human kept them quiet.

Zhang Wenqi waited for a minute, then spoke again.

In this minute, countless reporters at the scene felt like years, they looked at the legendary figure on the stage, second only to the Enlightener and Mi Peiyu, hoping that he would say something about the dawn.

Zhang Wenqi did not disappoint them.

"Everyone, there is still hope." Zhang Wenqi's eyes were like swords, and the firmness and sharpness in them gradually calmed people down, "The Barnard crisis 10,000 years ago didn't have to be bad now, but we survived. We are bathed in the blood and fire of our ancestors and survive in the icy universe. ”

"In the Barnard crisis, we have inspirers to lead the people of Earth out of the darkness! And now in the Red Flame Empire invasion crisis, we have heroes no less than the Enlighteners! ”

"Let's welcome the Space Force's Star Guard, which has been secretly cultivated by the government!"

A neat sound of guns shaking, the dome above the hall opened, and people looked up to see giant warships emerging in the extreme darkness.

"The Space Force's Star Guards have reached the level of the eighth era of science and technology, with 300,000 people, and their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of all conventional Space Force legions." Zhang Wenqi said, "Originally, the Star Guard would serve as a blocking mission for the development of the human reservation plan, but now, the Red Flame Empire's cleansing of all civilizations in the territory has begun, and the human reservation plan has been aborted. ”

"Today, the only way to gather the strength of the whole people is to break the boat!"

"Let me pray for the future of mankind with an old quote from a previous generation."

"Where there is a will, it can be done, the cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin passes belong to Chu after all; Hard-working people, the sky is not bearable, lying on the salary to taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu! ”

"Humanity will win!"

"Winning ......"

In a cheer, Zhang Wenqi left, he came to the conference hall and saw the calm Mi Peiyu.

"You don't have to ask me, you know the gap between the Star Guard and the enemy ships, and you will be defeated." Mi Peiyu said.

"It's not about asking this," Zhang Wenqi pulled up a smile, "I'm here to tell you that the 'Demon God' plan has succeeded." ”

"Success?" Mi Peiyu's body shook.

"Yes, before Zheng Dong left, he foresaw the desperate situation of mankind and left us technical information for the 'Demon God' project." Zhang Wenqi said, "When the enemy ships attack the earth, it is the day they will perish!" ”

"As long as the enemy ships do not reach the ninth age of science and technology, there is hope...... "Mi Peiyu's eyes condensed, "desperate situation, hope." ”

"Our children will see the most beautiful fireworks in the solar system." Zhang Wenqi smiled.

"Huh." Mi Peiyu chuckled, "The current suspicion is, why did the enemy ship stop at Neptune and not move?" ”

As soon as the voice fell, the artificial intelligence suddenly said: "Received a mandatory message, it cannot be intercepted, it has been loaded into the ......"

All humans on Earth have received this announcement through their own terminal devices.

"The human race of the earth, surrender or perish, reply within three days."

Almost all of them were indignant, people believed in the legend of the last battle, and there was hope for the future.

Society was functioning normally, and three days later, another announcement came.

"Earth humans, you choose to perish."

The Red Flame Empire's fleet, which was originally stationed on Neptune, immediately accelerated towards Earth.

Earth, a valley in the country of China.

A spaceship was hovering over the valley, dragging a cannonball more than ten meters long.

Around the shells, drones levitate, controlling a delicate balance.

Inside the cannonball, a mass of antimatter trapped in the middle by the magnetic force is like a demon*, hiding in the deepest depths.

Lin Ziting, the executor of the "Demon God" plan, was standing on the mountain on the side of the valley and watching, and behind him, more than 100 people of the "Demon God" team were looking at the sky, looking at the results of their incognito struggle for 17 years.

The "Demon God" plan is the highest top secret plan, and there is no record of the network or documents, only Zhang Wenqi and Mi Peiyu know all the information, and the Red Flame Empire did not find out after invading the earth network.

Lin Ziting is a gray-haired middle-aged man, if he is not selected for the "Demon God" project, he is a physicist who can definitely win the highest science and technology award on the earth, of course, reputation and interests cannot attract him. When Zhang Wenqi went to find him, he was tempted by the treasure house of knowledge of the Eighth Science and Technology Era left by Zheng Dong, and Lin Ziting saw those knowledge and laws, and immersed himself in them like a demon.

"I didn't expect to see the 'Demon God' bloom in my lifetime." Lin Ziting murmured.

Behind the "minister......," a European spoke, "the military wants to spy on us." ”

"Little things...... Lin Ziting saw that the "Demon God" was swallowed by the spaceship, and his eyes fluctuated slightly.

At night, he stayed in a hotel surrounded by the military, staring at the ceiling.

After the "Demon God" left, he seemed to have lost everything at once. A man like him would not have a wife or son, and his relatives would have very little contact, and what changed his life was the sudden arrival of the Celestial Garden Fleet and the Enlightener, and he saw the unimaginable world, and also produced a lifelong pursuit.

He was going to climb to the pinnacle of physics.

On a cosmic scale.

"You must win......" Lin Ziting got up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and lifted the curtains.

If the war is won, he will remodel his body, prolong his life, and devote all his life to the study of physics.

He looked forward to the future, and out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the lights of thousands of homes in the city.

He froze suddenly, and in this moment, he suddenly understood something.

He had previously scoffed at giving, and he firmly believed that man lives for himself.

But when he became the one who was protected by others with his life, when he prayed that others would fight for a future for him, he understood.

What is the collective, what is the state, what is the human being.

The blood and emotion in his heart when he looked at the lights of thousands of homes, the code buried in the genes of this social creature, told him what dedication was.
