So, then, a plan was born for them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Space City?" Zhou Xin asked.

"It wasn't originally from Space City." Atlas replied, "The original plan was to choose a remote area on the southern continent and find a way to concoct a reason to attract the rebels, so that most of them would concentrate in that predetermined area, and then destroy them. ”

"With such an obvious intention, would anyone really believe it?" Dart said with disdain, "Only those with low IQs will believe it, and the upper echelons of the Ewen Empire may also underestimate those who resist." ”

"So the plan was rejected at the beginning of the mention." The little girl continued, "However, there are unreliable plans that have come up with a similar plan - the space station plan. ”

"Actually, this plan is almost the same as the original plan, except that the area was changed to space. The person who came up with this plan believed that in the original plan, no matter where the chosen area was on the southern continent, it would still be the territory of the Ewen Empire, and it would not be more attractive to the rebels than the place where they were hiding now. Space was different, for them at that time, space was an unknown space to be explored, and if it was deliberately guided, it might indeed be able to attract the attention of those people. ”

"But if it's just because of these rebels that they went to great lengths to build a space station, it's probably not worth the loss." Zhou Xin asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's more than that." The little girl shook her head, "Actually, the real idea of the top management of the Ewen Empire at the beginning was that there would always be dead people when they first carried out space exploration, and instead of sacrificing their own people, it was better to let those who rebel explore the way first, at least so that those people could make some contributions to the empire." Of course, in addition to this, it is also mentioned in the information obtained that there seems to be other purposes for the construction of the space station by the high-level of the Empire, but the specific purpose is not explained in detail in the information that they found. ”

Zhou Xin couldn't help but nod while thinking, "What's next?" ”

"Next." Atlas continued, "Over the next decade or so, the plan will be implemented little by little under this prototype. In the Ewen Empire's external propaganda, space became the territory they would conquer next. At the same time, in their propaganda, they exaggerated the benefits of life in space, and at the same time launched the first step of the plan - to openly recruit people to work in space. ”

"Does that work? Why can't I hear that there is a reason to appeal to those who resist? Spred asked, puzzled.

"Of course, superficial propaganda is certainly not enough." Atlas's voice became a little mysterious, "But what if you inadvertently 'revealed' that the management on the space station is lax?" ”

When she said this, most of the people in the command cabin understood. At the same time, the little girl also laughed, "Actually, this is also a fact, after all, the space in the space station is so small, and it is definitely impossible to send troops, at most, there are one or two managers who are the upper limit." However, under the deliberate guidance, this is not a secret secret, but it has become the best reason to attract those who resist. ”

Zhou Xin thought for a while, and then slowly said to himself: "This can be regarded as a good reason, under the condition of lack of supervision, it can indeed give those who resist more room to operate." Coupled with the fact that this is the next target of the country, those who rebel should indeed get a kick in it if they are smart enough. Then there was some confusion in his tone, "But even if it is such a deliberate guidance, it will eventually attract many other people to join." How exactly did they screen out the real rebels from all the applicants? ”

"They didn't make a selection at all, but they randomly selected a few people from all the people who signed up." Atlas's answer surprised Zhou Xin slightly, and then she explained, "Because for the top of the empire at that time, it makes no difference to them who chooses to develop space, and it will definitely be themselves who will profit in the end." All they need to know is that the rebels will find a way to blend in with the team that goes into space, and who are—" the little girl laughed, "If the rebels will find a way to arrange members for the space team, won't the Imperial officials be?" ”

After listening to Atlas's words, Zhou Xin hadn't figured out the key to it, but Spred was the first to react, "As long as those people really enter the space station, the hidden rebels in the case of lax management will always be exposed, and they may even try to persuade others to join them, and then they will be able to know who the real rebel members are." ”

"That's it." The little girl nodded repeatedly, "And that's exactly what the rebels did." Brother Captain, you would never have imagined that of the ten space stations that were built at the beginning, more than a tenth of the less than 1,000 staff members were rebels. As the Empire's administrators continued to adjust the staff on the space station, the number of those who resisted accounted for more than half of the total number. ”

Zhou Xin frowned, "With such a high percentage, aren't the top echelons of the Ewen Empire not afraid of any dangerous moves by these rebels?" Say something like taking an entire space station or something? ”

"They wouldn't dare." As if he had known that Zhou Xin would ask this question, Atlas directly continued before his words fell, "As a scientific research facility, there are no weapons on the space station, plus the original space station is still different from today's space city, each space station is completely independent units, and it is useless to occupy one or several of them." What's more, the space station at that time was extremely dependent on supplies from the ground, and if those who rebelled really openly occupied the space station, it was difficult to say whether these people would survive for seven days as long as the ground cut off their supplies. ”

Suddenly, Zhou Xin showed an expression of sudden realization, "I just think, why is it that up to now, that space city has not been able to be self-sufficient." Presumably, this is also in mind, although the regular transportation is a bit more cumbersome, but it makes it impossible for those who resist to escape the control of the ground, and if they are independent, it is enough to cut off their supplies. ”

"That's right." The little girl agreed, and then continued with the previous story, "Later, with the continuous development of space technology, the only ten remaining space stations can no longer meet the needs of the entire country. Later, the plan for a space city was proposed, which would first bring together the ten existing space stations, and then continue to expand on them, eventually building a space city. Speaking of this, Atlas laughed again, "However, the original proponent of this plan was a researcher who could not conduct research due to the limited space of the space station, and he had no idea that there was a plan against the rebels behind the space station. If it weren't for the fact that his ancestors had been members of the original Three Kingdoms for generations, and that there was nothing suspicious about his daily behavior, the upper echelons of the empire would have suspected him of being one of the rebels. ”

When his plan was proposed, it was supported by many people, most of whom were researchers who were too confined to the small space station to conduct research, including some who later entered the upper echelons of the empire. In desperation, those high-ranking members of the empire who knew the truth had no choice but to agree to this plan. Naturally, for the sake of insurance, they also secretly added a lot of restrictions to this space city plan, including the restriction of the supply of the space city that you just mentioned, brother captain. ”

"As the size of the Space City gradually increases, more and more people are attracted to it, and of course there are a large number of rebels among them. It wasn't until later that the higher-ups of the Ewen Empire discovered that the Space City project that was forced to be carried out at the beginning had achieved good results by mistake, and almost all the rebels were attracted to the Space City. Not only the rebels, but the lax management of the space city has also attracted many people with other evil intentions, the main representatives of which are the unemployed and beggars you have met before, brother Captain. ”

"No wonder." Zhou Xin's face suddenly showed a look of understanding, "I think how could the managers of the Space City not find out about the existence of that group of people, it turns out that this is the result of their deliberate connivance." ”

The little girl nodded, "After these people moved to Space City, the environment in the empire itself has been much cleaner. Moreover, the restrictions imposed on the Space City have now become a shackle to those who resist. Although the activities of those rebels in the space city were almost on the surface, and their power had indeed increased a lot with the connivance of the empire, they did not dare to declare independence in the space city at all. Although some of the rebels later discovered this, they were reluctant to let go of the gains they had made in the Space City. Even if they are willing, it is not easy for them to give up, after decades of operation in the space city, their power in the space city has reached a deep-rooted level at that time, and if they give up like this, the entire force will suffer an extremely serious blow. ”

Thus, in the following period, the entire empire entered the second period of calm since the founding of the country. However, after the rebels discovered the Empire's intentions, the very few who realized the danger made the decision to break their wrists. However, for a while, these people had no way to turn the entire force back to the ground at once, so they could only plan step by step and slowly transfer. ”

"And then? Did they succeed? Spred asked.

"Although they had done it in secrecy enough, the Imperial higher-ups, who were closely monitoring those who resisted, quickly discovered it. However, they had no way to openly stop the rebels, and if they did, it would make the other rebels who did not act understand that they were already under the surveillance of the Empire. Although it is difficult to openly rebel in the environment of a space city, if they are under the dog's rush to jump over the wall, they may really die in the end. Although the space station was originally built to deal with the rebels, after hundreds of years of operation, the growing space city has become an important part of the entire empire. In contrast, some of the Empire's top brass who knew the truth now simply didn't want to bury the entire Space City for the sake of a group of rebels. After pondering for a long time, they partially modified their original plan and told the entire Empire the truth about the Space City in the hope of gaining their support. When the truth was revealed, many people were shocked, but in addition to the shock, the revised plan was quickly approved. ”

At this time, Zhou Xin noticed the time mentioned by Atlas, and his tone was a little surprised, "Hundreds of years? Could it be that the plan was implemented recently? ”

"That's right, it's the same fleet we saw earlier." The little girl confirmed, "I didn't expect it, but that fleet was going to be destroyed in their plan." Originally, the idea of the planner was to destroy the space station or simply cut off supplies and leave the people inside to fend for themselves, but either of these two methods would cause great damage to the space city itself. As a result, the Empire's higher-ups have made some changes to this plan, taking those who rebel out of Space City and destroying them in space. After all, compared to the entire space city, the loss of a fleet is relatively small. ”

"But how did the Empire's higher-ups manage to get them all to leave Space City without attracting the attention of those who resisted?" Dart asked, confused.

"At first, the upper echelons of the empire wanted to make up a reason to attract the rebels to the ship, but they spent a lot of time and couldn't think of any suitable reason, and at this time, the shuttle-shaped ship appeared." Speaking of this, Atlas smiled again, "That's right, in the entire plan, only the appearance of the shuttle spaceship was an accident, and it was not expected by the Ewen Empire at all. It can be said that if the spaceship hadn't appeared, maybe until now those people were still thinking about how to fool those people in the space city to leave voluntarily. ”

When they heard this, most of the people in the command cabin showed surprised looks. After a slight pause, Atlas began to tell the story of what was going on......
