"It's five minutes before the light particles are ready."

A message appeared in the communication network of the ruling class of the three clans.

The young empress of the Xia Empire and her parliamentarians stood together, the sound of their slight breathing remaining in the vast bridge of the ship.

All the Hia were looking out of the floor-to-ceiling portholes, looking in the direction of the Earth - they couldn't see anything at all, hundreds of light-years away, making the Earth an insignificant speck of dust in view.

The young Empress Xia took a deep breath, and the supreme ruler who ruled over the billions of Xia citizens looked back at the projection of the equally silent parliamentarians.

The Xia Empire is an aggressive civilization that will always forcibly absorb other civilizations it encounters into the empire, resulting in a variety of races within the empire.

Legislators of different races, with hundreds of class backgrounds, each has an intricate chain of interests. Trillions of imperial citizens are able to intersect with the vast empire through these councillors.

"I don't care about all of you."

Empress Shea looked at the parliamentarians indifferently, and the firm will in her eyes made people wonder whether the cowardice that the Empress usually showed was real.

"I don't care if you're corrupt or corrupt; Is it depraved and wicked, or noble and good;

I don't care that you rule the planet with brutality and brutality, using the entire planet as a gladiatorial arena, a transit point for the slave trade, and the largest kiln in the galaxy.

Or use greedy and unscrupulous methods to squeeze the labor of all the inhabitants of the planet's surface as much as possible, and let them work for the life of a matchbox-sized house.

None of you matter to me.

The empire's vast territory and abundant resources determine that the empire's production is far greater than the amount you can corrupt, and a small number of moths cannot damage the stability of the empire's rule, just like the normal metabolism of multicellular organisms.

As long as you can pay your taxes on time, the tacit understanding between the empire and the parliamentarian class will not be broken. Our alliance remains unbreakable."

Empress Xi'a's gaze swept over those parliamentarians with different expressions, she took a deep breath, and said calmly and indifferently: "However, the interests of the Xi'a Empire, your interests, and my interests must all be built on the basis that the Xi'a Empire can still exist.

I know that some of you may wonder why such a huge force as the Three Great Empires would go out of their way to worship an invisible and untouchable god.

Even those members who are fortunate enough to be a real member of the Supreme Council will question this question in their hearts. ”

The councillors did not speak, most of them preferred to stay in the star sector they ruled, and enjoy the worship of a living planet while receiving the protection and convenience brought by the vast empire.

In ancient times, beings like Zeus and Odin who possessed extraordinary power were insurmountable and incomprehensible in the eyes of mortals on earth, so they were called "gods".

But in reality, Zeus is nothing more than a filthy middle-aged uncle dominated by the lower half of his body, and Odin is nothing more than a bad old man who is deeply involved in the tragedy of family ethics.

Transcendent powers aside, the will, talents, morals, and knowledge of the "gods" may not even be comparable to those of the best in the human race.

Such a transcendent person is naturally not worthy of the title of "god".

The more advanced a civilization's science and technology are, and the deeper its understanding of the world, the less room there will be for those cultural factors that contain superstition and ignorance.

Religious belief is a false proposition for the vast majority of civilizations in the galaxy, let alone a huge force like the three major empires.

"The reason is simple, because our God, the Star-Swallower, needs us."

Empress Shea directly stated the name of the god rather "disrespectfully", and she was expressionless, as if she were stating an established fact, "Like those mundane beliefs, the will of the gods is unpredictable, and the thoughts of the gods are unknown, but the Swallowing Star is a little different from other religious gods - he has enough patience and action.

He supported the three empires to the throne, and he can also drag the three empires off the altar.

He doesn't need to explain anything for us, and he doesn't need to pay for our incompetence,

We are his slaves, his pawns, and his tools. ”

Empress Xia chuckled softly, "If a tool can't fulfill its mission, it doesn't deserve to exist. My dear parliamentarians, I don't care about your past and future,

All I ask is that you be loyal to your own interests, here and now.

In the coming period, many of you will die, but sacrifice is necessary.

Only in this way can our interest class continue to exist, and your children and your family can continue for generations to come.

Got it? Filthy pigs. ”

...

At the same time, on the Skrull starship, the First Warlord of Skrull is also speaking to the members of the Warlord Council.

The Skrull Empire is similar to the Kree Empire, both of which use the ultimate ****, and the war lord who rules a star region is equivalent to a prince.

The strongest of them can become the first seat on the Skrull Warlords' Council.

"Don't look at Lao Tzu is also a member of the Supreme Council of the Three Great Empires, but Lao Tzu doesn't care which onion is Swallowing Star - compared to Swallowing Star, his old man also sees me like this!"

The green-skinned war lord, dressed in golden armor, stepped on the throne forged by an iron sword, with a tyrannical expression and a sarcastic smile, "Why are you so surprised? Are you confused that I dare to say that, Lord God?

Believe it or not, even if I stand here and greet the old mother who swallows the stars, he will not send a divine punishment to annihilate me?

Unbelief? All right

Swallow the star, my day you are an immortal board, your mother sells batches, your father sells qiu, mother-in-law and grandfather sell plate oil, eight old men shovel Nima,

Poke your house and rummag in your pocket, you are a god with eggs and a big eight gods like a bad egg, exposing your Eminem muscle breaking ....."

In the next three minutes, the green-skinned War Lord, in the terrified eyes of his subordinates, used the dialect of various parts of the Skrull Empire to scold the Devouring Star again,

Even some of the words in it were too dirty and inferior, and some war lords who were keen on burning and looting felt unbearable, and couldn't help but stand back,

After finishing the swearing, the Chief Warlord lowered his feet from the Iron Throne, and he smiled meaninglessly, and said to the Warlords below with a blank face, "What do you think, how am I scolding?" ”

"Tall, hard, boss, you're tall and hard."

"Wow, wow, boss, you're really awesome."

"I've never seen anyone so good at swearing!"

Words of praise from the Skrull War Lords came and went, but there was no joy on the face of the Chief War Lord,

"Idiot."

One of the supreme rulers of the galaxy, extremely indifferently rejected the sycophancy of his subordinates,

"You goddamn fools."

The people below looked at each other, at a loss.

"What does it mean that I am standing on the bridge of a starship and blasphemous with the dirtiest blasphemy I can come up with in my life, blaspheming this self-willed being, and he remains indifferent?"

The Chief War Lord said sarcastically, "It means that in his eyes, I am not even as good as an ant." Do you care if a single-celled organism offends you? Do you blame one of the E. coli in your stomach for diarrhea?

No.

Our Star Swallowing God needs us, but he never cares about our life or death, he just wants results.

Listen, I don't know what to think about Swallowing Stars, but I read a book in the High Council,

In the last generation, when Skrull's ancestors were a bunch of multicellular creatures, there were tens of millions of civilizations in the galaxy.

Those races, almost at the same time, appeared in all corners of the galaxy, and they developed their civilizations at different rates,

But civilizations that develop too fast will suffer all kinds of setbacks, such as unprovoked civil wars, ethnic vendettas,

A civilization that has developed too slowly will receive all kinds of good fortune, a scientist can comprehend the new laws of the universe if he sits under a tree and is hit by a fruit, and an inventor can have thousands of vital inventions in his lifetime!

In this way, tens of millions of civilizations in the galaxy rushed out of their star system and stepped into the vast galaxy at almost the same time. ”

Speaking of this, the Chief War Lord paused, while the War Lords below, who had never heard of this story, showed more or less curious expressions.

"What happened next?"

The Chief War Lord pursed his lips and said blandly: "It's very simple, when these civilizations encounter each other, they are first surprised and shocked, glad that they are not alone, and then they will try to interact on an equal footing, exchange technology, and establish diplomatic relations.

In the beginning, it was all like that.

However, with the passage of time and the relative scarcity of resources, the contradictions between civilizations will always accumulate deeper and deeper, and wars will break out.

If the development level of some civilizations is much higher than that of others, it is easy to say, but if all civilizations have a similar level of development, the interstellar war between them is extremely long and cruel.

War, a brutal war with no end,

Depraved, noble, cruel, conscience, everything is reduced to insignificant adjectives in war,

Steel ships made of man and metal are all ground into powder in the grinding disc in the center of the galaxy.

All civilizations have shed their last drop of blood in war, and every time these overwhelmed civilizations try to stop, there is an overriding power that blinds the minds of the rulers of civilization and allows them to continue this war. ”

The Chief Warlord should be full of joy and excitement when he talks about "war", but the Skrull generals below can all feel deep despair in the leader's words.

"The war that spanned everything finally produced the only survivor after 10,000 years,

The strongest and most ruthless civilization that survived Gu cultivation was just about to take a breath and welcome the dawn of hope, when misfortune struck.

All the individual lives in the civilization began to kill each other senselessly, the soldiers commanded the starships to bomb each other, the civilians picked up guns and slashed in the streets, and after a hundred days, the civilization came to an end, and the galaxy fell into dead silence again. ”

The voice of Chief Warlord of Skrull, like a ballad from far away, said softly, "This is the first chapter of the Sacred Book of Genesis,

The god was wandering in the dead silence of the galaxy, he looked around and said, "I'm tired of playing, let's start another game." ”

The face of the Chief War Lord, a little terrifying in the gloomy starlight, ".... As a result, the galaxy will fall into another cycle, and the hegemony of Skrull, Kerry, and Shea will be established..."

.....

Inside the flagship of the Kree Empire, Supreme Wisdom lies in a giant glass jar filled with nutrient solution.

Supreme Wisdom, an artifact that has fused the brains of all the sages of the Kree Empire, he looks like a bloated and fat light green head,

His chin is swollen, the corners of his mouth are drooling, his apple is drooping like a pug, his pale yellow eyes are narrowed into a slit, and behind the thick forehead lines are tentacle-like hair.

This ugly head is the supreme ruler of the Kree Empire.

While the Empress of the Shea Empire used her interests to induce the Councillors and the Skrull War Lord to threaten her colleagues with the Bible, Supreme Wisdom remained silent.

In front of him, facing the floor-to-ceiling porthole of Kerry's flagship.

Hundreds of Kree Empire researchers walked around under the glass jars, monitoring the state of life of the self-exalted intelligence, adjusting the ratio of the nutrient solution - compared to the accusations on the table, the supreme intelligence is the foundation of the Kree Empire.

"What are you thinking?"

A huge body hidden in the shadows suddenly appeared in front of the glass jar of supreme intelligence, and it was puzzling that those Kree Empire researchers were as if they didn't see the intruder.

The voice of the intruder was the chairman of the Supreme Council.

“... I'm thinking about a lot of things. ”

The Supreme Wisdom said, and his lips did not open and close, but used his spiritual power to speak directly to the chairman.

"In just a few minutes, I saw a lot of sights on Earth.

I saw that I was born in a small rural village, with a mother who loved me, and many brothers and sisters.

Our life was poor and peaceful, and although the house we lived in was smaller, we could barely squeeze in.

As time went on, I always wanted to leave this remote prison and go outside to see the wider world, and my brothers and sisters laughed at me for being self-conscious.

Living, eating, sleeping, sleeping, finding a daughter-in-law, and having a baby, this is our fate.

I'm not reconciled.

I worked hard to train myself, to develop myself, to try to one day get out of the cage and see things that I hadn't seen before.

But, bad luck struck.

One morning, while I was taking a nap in my room, I heard my sister's screams, and a strange 'thing' that fell from the sky directly crossed into my sister's room and tried to snatch her naked from the room.

My brothers trembled and did not know what to do,

And I bravely rushed forward, with my limbs, with my teeth, to fight that 'thing'.

I succeeded and failed, and that thing let go of my sister and it grabbed me.

I was taken to the sky, blindfolded, with my feet gagged, and stuffed into a round bag.

It was dark and bumpy.

For three days and three nights, I didn't eat a drop of water, I didn't eat a grain of rice, and when I saw the light again, I found myself lying on a big bluestone.

A silver light slashed at me, and it was fast, very fast,

The last image I saw was my own headless body. ”

The story told by the Supreme Wisdom is inexplicable and illogical,

The figure standing in front of him thought for a long time, and said with some confusion: ".... You brought into the sight of some earthling, and experienced the process of being captured and dissected by some alien civilization? ”

"Nope."

Supreme Wisdom paused, "The 'I' in the story is a chicken. ”

"What?" The figure was stunned.

"Chickens are born, grown, fattened, and then slaughtered in sacks across mountains and rivers during the Spring Festival."

Supreme Wisdom said calmly, "This is the story of an ordinary Earth chicken.

To be born, and then to die, this is the mission of the chicken, but the chicken does not know it yet. ”

The human image understood something, and he hesitated, examining the supreme wisdom in front of him.

"The chicken will go to the field to help the owner catch insects, but in the eyes of the owner, this is just what the chicken should do.

I wondered, if we had fulfilled our mission, would our Creator still drag us out of the chicken pen and slaughter us on bluestone slabs? ”

Unable to answer the question of the Supreme Intelligence, the figure vanished, leaving behind only the Supreme Intelligence and the Kree Empire researchers, who were still in a daze.

"Heh, chicken."

Supreme Wisdom sneered, and the corners of his mouth seemed to rise slightly.

...

The leaders of the three empires have each completed their own thoughts.

Finally, the five-minute time limit for the preparation of the light particles arrived.

"God's will must be fulfilled."

The deep and deep voice of the Supreme Council Chairman echoed through the communication network of the leaders of the three clans, bringing the brief call to an end.

Subsequently, the leaders of the Xia Empire, the Skrull Empire, and the Kree Empire directly shut down the communication network from the physical level, and turned off the communication equipment of all their spaceships together.

From this moment on, tens of thousands of the three major imperial starships fell into an environment of absolute silence, and each starship would carry out its plan accurately and steadily in accordance with the predetermined procedures of the ship spirit.

This is mainly to prevent the other side from directly invading the internal network of the starships, infecting and taking away the command of the starships like a virus.

Silence fell, and the deep, dark Orion swirled his door open, waiting in silence for the next guest.

Grand action always begins in silence.

The starships of the three empires of Skrull, Kerry, and Shea have different styles of decoration, the Skrull ships are thick and simple, the Kerry ships are strict and cold, and the Xia ships are light and gorgeous.

The three ships are mixed together, but they faintly present a clear sense of hierarchy.

The mighty fleets of the three empires swept out graceful arcs under the starry sky.

Compared with the alliance of civilizations that came to this star field last time, although the fleet this time is not large, it is far superior in other aspects.

After all, these elite starships are the direct reliance of the three empires to dominate the galaxy, I don't know how many hostile forces have been eliminated, how many internal struggles have been suppressed, and they have been tested by war for a long time, and they are first-class strategic killers.

Elsewhere, a single starship could be used as a last resort for mid-to-high-level civilizations, but here, these ships can only perform more mundane and boring missions.

They, beginning to fly around the solar system,

The word "flight" may not be a good word, as these ships are accelerated with conventional engines turned on, and after a long and tedious voyage, they turn on the curvature engines and enter the curvature course

The space changes in front of and behind these ships, the space in front of the ship is rapidly folded, and the space behind the ship is rapidly stretched.

As a result, a "bubble" of space appeared around each spaceship, propelling the spacecraft forward at high speed.

Curvature requires a lot of energy, and each starship is equipped with a vacuum zero-point energy collector to extract huge amounts of energy from the vacuum tidal energy ocean.

A single curvature route will drag a visible channel in space - the essence of this channel is the folds left after the space is folded.

As light passes through these folds, the speed of light itself decreases.

The reduction rate is not large, and from the outside world, it looks like a layer of glass, with a slight deflection and slowdown.

And, for the vast majority of the time, the pleats themselves are nothing.

Space has its own ability to heal itself, slowly but surely correcting the traces left by curvature navigation – just as the wake clouds left by jet planes (commonly known as airplane cables) eventually spread into the atmosphere.

However, when the traces left by the curvature navigation are not one or two, but thousands, tens of thousands, and connected in a row, the self-healing ability of the conventional space begins to gradually fail.

If you look down from a high place, tens of millions of starships of various types from the three major empires are side by side, forming a "comb" with dense combs,

The comb slowly swiped over the solar system, centering on the solar system, making a large circle, and then returning to the original point.

In this way, in the high field of vision, the curvature course wake cloud dragged by thousands of starships forms a translucent ring - the essence of the ring is a spatial fold.

The spatial folds of the first layer can reduce the speed of light slightly, and the reduction rate is about 0.001%.

So, what about the spatial folds of a thousand or ten thousand layers?

A comb composed of thousands of starships of all kinds circled the solar system over and over again, wrapping the star region with a curvature course wake cloud.

Soon, the thickness of the spatial folds reached a critical value, and the solar system wrapped in the spatial folds was like a Christmas glass ball, and every snowflake in it was falling at an extremely slow speed.

According to the plan of the three empires, the speed of light in the solar system will stay at 16.7km/s, which is 18,000th of the speed of light in a vacuum, which is below the speed of the third universe.

This means that all the light in the solar system will not be able to escape the gravitational pull of the sun itself.

If light can't escape, then nothing can't escape either.

This is the strategic weapon of the three empires: the low-speed black hole wrapped by the curvature of the shipping course, the black domain.

Empress Xia, the Skrull War Lord, and the Supreme Wisdom of the Kree Empire stayed silently on their respective flagships, watching the Black Domain slowly take shape,

The Black Domain Cage will take time to build, and in the process, the Earth side will inevitably make a strategic counterattack.

If the Black Domain is a cage that imprisons the earth's civilization and a "shield" that symbolizes absolute defense,

Then, the light particle strike that the three empires are still preparing will be the indestructible "spear" that counteracts the earth's counterattack.
