"This is very simple, after entering the cosmic age, the battleship is the main component of the army, and it is also the foundation of the imperial military power, and the ground combat has been completely replaced by unmanned mechanized remote control equipment instead of real people's fighting, so mastering the battleship in the army is equivalent to mastering the greatest power in the entire galaxy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" the old man explained in detail.

"But isn't the general still the emperor's subordinate? If you want to change people, you only need an order from the emperor. Ye Kexin still hasn't opened his mind. This question was asked to their history teacher when Ye Kexin was still in high school, but at that time, the history teacher just sighed lightly, patted Ye Kexin on the shoulder, and said "Meritorious master", then turned back to the podium and said to the class, "Let's turn the textbook to page 58 and read the content of the next section."

"I've seen your memories, and one of the words is particularly apt." The old man turned his head to look at the scroll on the wall beside him.

"It's the master, I know." Ye Kexin typed this word without thinking about it, and she remembered what the high school history teacher said to her.

"That's right, that's what the General is." The old man nodded, "The general was completely promoted by the emperor alone, and there was no need for a ruling by the Council of Elders during the period, so it can be said that His Majesty the Emperor has a grace to the general, but with the concentration of power, the general will gradually get out of the control of His Majesty the Emperor, such a thing has not happened, even modern humans have experienced such an event, say one, you can understand, do you know the Chen Qiao Mutiny?" ”

"Of course you know, the yellow robe is added." Ye Kexin replied easily, "Later Zhou Du inspected Zhao Kuangyin in Chenqiaoyi and was added by his subordinate yellow robe, and later established the Northern Song Dynasty. This is a compulsory part of high school history. ”

"Since this kind of thing has happened to the human beings who have not even reached the age of steam, the ancient humans who have reached the interstellar age have also experienced such a thing, in the fifty-sixth era of the old century of the imperial calendar, the general rebelled in the cantilever of Orion, which you are now talking about, and this rebellion swept this galaxy in less than an era, and the whole galaxy was in turmoil, although in the end, the emperor defeated the general with the help of the royalists, but it was also a tragic victory, and in the following more than twenty epochs, Mankind once abolished the position of the great general, until the fifth week of the old century one hundred and seventy-seven era, the nine hundred and eighty-seventh emperor of the human race was restored to this position, but such a move was met with great resistance, although the final successful restoration, but the selection of the general is not as nepotistic as before, not only to go through the ruling of the Council of Elders, but even need to be supervised by the civilians, so that the next hundreds of generals have never rebelled. ”

"Oh, there's such a secret." Ye Kexin listened carefully to the old man's story, and couldn't help but be surprised, "It seems that the upper-level system is close to perfection, but what is the middle-to-lower-level system?" This is the cornerstone of the empire, and it has been perfected after millions of years of reform and evolution. ”

"Actually, it's not what you think, it's interlocking, basically the ancient human empire is completely an officer system, each star will have a governor, the governor's rights only involve the rule of the own star, and such a rule seems to be even free, independent of the emperor system, each governor has a military position, so that there are warships to call in time of war, but this has led to the occurrence of small-scale rebellions." The old man frowned slightly, obviously tired of such a relaxed system, "The development of science and technology on each planet is even different, just like a human country on Earth"

"But even if they are given military ranks, they are not capable of fighting this empire, this must be only the basic unit of rebellion, and the governors of these rebellions are only hand-beating the instructions of their superiors." Ye Kexin thought about it and put forward his thoughts in a deep voice.

"It's surprising to me that you think that." The old man seemed to agree, and nodded towards Ye Kexin, "You guessed right, there will be at least one planet suitable for human habitation in every secondary galaxy, these planets were discovered before ancient humans entered the cosmic age, and after entering the cosmic age, the goal of human beings is to colonize these planets to expand the living space of human beings, but with the end of the cosmic era, human beings suddenly found themselves occupying too many colonized planets, And these colonial planets are extremely restless under the rule of the federal government, and the federal army has carried out countless suppressions without playing a very effective role, and finally the first emperor has risen, and the imperial regime born from an inconspicuous small sub-galaxy on the remote Orion spiral arm quickly swept the entire galaxy, and the Milou federal regime collapsed, which is the era of the rise of mankind in the old century. ”

The old man's voice was full of exclamation.

"The new emperor took over everything in the galaxy, and at the same time promulgated a series of new laws, including regulations on the management of colonial planets, which clearly wrote that every thousand colonial planets were grouped into a star region, and every thousand star regions were grouped into a star field, and the administrators of the star field were under the management of the colonial bureau, which was the emperor's method, so the galaxy was divided into countless pieces, but what followed was not long-term peace and stability, but the dark age of war and riots."

"This is certain, the rioters will definitely move towards the fact that I can also succeed, why should the person who takes the first step sit on my head." Ye Kexin sighed, "They are undoubtedly doing this to gain the dominance of the galaxy and prove that they don't want to rebel against me, I can even defeat the emperor's army." The next ruler of the emperor must be the one who ruled until the end of the old century of mankind. ”

"That's right, but unfortunately, none of the ten epochs of war have been able to bring down the emperor, according to you, these rebels should be called warlords, and the warlords have ganged up and launched an attack on the emperor's army under the banner of restoring the freedom of the federal system as a whole, but each time it was wiped out, and the emperor had the last laugh." The old man sighed again, and he couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had in the expression on his face, but Ye Kexin could still see a trace of decline.

"What, you're not happy that the emperor has won?" Ye Kexin asked curiously.

"Of course I'm happy, without the first emperor, I wouldn't be where I am now." The old man shook his head, "It's just that there were too many people who died at that time, although I didn't exist at that time, but the data from the historical documents is still shocking." ”

"That's right, a galaxy-wide level war like this, many people will be blamed if they don't die." Ye Kexin sighed and agreed with the old man's words, "But after listening to it for so long, there is one word that I am a little puzzled about. ”

"What word?" The old man glanced at Ye Kexin.

"Epoch era, can the epoch you are talking about be converted into a modern human unit of measurement of time?"

"It's not impossible to convert, but the time measurement unit you are using now is too abstract, although this time unit was also used before the emperor ruled the galaxy, but the emperor still gave up this way of timekeeping, and continued the previous federal epoch system, which has no actual reference, so it can be said that this is a unit that defines the universe created entirely by human will." There was a hint of pride evident in the old man's expectation, "When the emperor was in power, he ordered the recorders and scholars to carefully perform the arithmetic, and finally came up with a conversion specification between the original estimated value of the annual system, and one epoch is equivalent to fifteen years, three months, and twenty-seven days, which is the exact value. ”

"Oh, that sounds like a long time." Ye Kexin nodded thoughtfully, and quickly counted in his heart, "Then the fifth week of the old century you talked about before is one hundred and seventy-seven eras, and one week refers to one thousand eras." ”

"Pretty smart, I've detected your highly active brain activity, which the ancients didn't have." The old man looked at Ye Kexin in surprise, "That's right, but thanks to you being able to calculate it in such a short time, using the annual system, it took you less than five seconds to calculate this time." ”

"But why, Zhou's unit only has seven days in the annual system you are talking about, and when you get here, it becomes a thousand epochs, more than fifteen thousand years, this kind of boasting is a little too big." Ye Kexin was a little afraid to accept such a fact, and desperately defended.

"It's different, the meaning of the two weeks is different, although it's a little vague, but I see that you have an explanation of the week in your memory." The old man casually called up a three-dimensional screen, "The Bible. Old testament. In the Book of Genesis, it is said that on the first day God created the heavens and the earth, the second day God created the air, the third day God created the land, the sea, and plants, the fourth day God created the sun, the moon and the stars, the fifth day God created birds and fish, and the sixth day God created mammals, insects, and human beings. This is just an overview, should I read it all to you? ”

"No, no, no." Ye Kexin waved his hand again and again, "But can you not always snoop on other people's memories, in case you see privacy, it's not good, there is no difference between men and women in ancient human beings?" ”

"How is that possible?" The old man smiled and shook his head, "Otherwise, can it still be asexual reproduction?" The humans of ancient times are the same as the humans of today, after all, there is some relationship between the two. ”

"Origin? What is the origin? Ye Kexin expressed curiosity.

"I'll explain this later, let's answer your previous question first." The old man sighed, the smile on his face undiminished, "Regarding the Zhou unit in the epoch system, it also comes from the religious records, and the high priest of the Brilliant Holy See once explained that the god of nothingness created the Nether at the request of the God of Glory, that is, the three-dimensional universe as we know it, and in order to keep the created Nether stable and stable, every ten thousand epochs, the god of nothingness will return, and every time it returns, there will be new ******, which is the origin of Zhou." ”

"As an aside, the high priest once predicted that when the universe reaches the tenth week, there will be a destruction, which is the reshuffling of the universe by the god of nothingness, because the universe has developed on its own and has been out of the control of the upper realm, and the gods of the upper realm need to recreate a universe that is easy to control, which is a bit like the animal cell tissue culture you know, if I want to get good cells, I must maintain the original diploid karyotype of the cell, the flushing of the universe and this is a truth, and the only thing that can avoid the flushing is to start a new century, Turn us into the upper realm, on an equal footing with the gods. ”

"Sounds like." Ye Kexin helplessly broke the beads of sweat on his forehead, "Is this preaching?" You're like a poisoned old god now. ”

"I'm just copying what I said, you said that I was really wronged." The old man snorted in his throat, "When I was created, don't be included in the eleven rules of the program, and the fifth rule is to remain a non-religious believer from beginning to end, this is to keep my rational thinking, and not to ignore rational thinking with faith above faith at critical moments. ”

"Even so, why do you remember so many things about religious dogma and stuff, is this pre-programmed?" Ye Kexin felt helpless.

"Of course not, when I was studying at the Military Academy under the 22nd Academy of Sciences of the Empire, I used to have ten hours of access to the Imperial Great Library, and I saw these things in the library." The old man said to Ye Kexin proudly.

"Didn't anyone stop you?" Ye Kexin sighed.

"Humans can't stop me anymore!" The old man laughed, Ye Kexin, who was laughing, was stunned, and could hear that the old man's laughter was full of happiness, the loneliness of 120,000 years was broken, the old man needed a free outlet, and Ye Kexin, who asked and asked, was the old man's first choice, and he knew everything about Ye Kexin, which illustrated this.

"Uh......" Ye Kexin stopped helplessly, but soon walked with the old man, "Forget it, let's change the topic." ”

"And what else do you want to know?"

"I'm wondering, why haven't humans thought about leaving the Milky Way, and now human astronomical knowledge can prove that in addition to the Milky Way accident, there are also Andromeda and Triangulum that form the Virgo galaxy group, and this galaxy group only belongs to the periphery of the Virgo galaxy group, such a vast universe didn't ancient humans have interest in exploring?"

Ye Kexin was slightly annoyed when she thought of this, as a quantum physicist, Ye Kexin was very interested in the universe, and the ancient human beings were so discouraged from the universe, this is really incredible, it is a big waste to have enough power but not use it well, it is a big waste, just like a world-class Hercules player actually went to the construction site to do the work of moving bricks.

"We did, as I said before, the dogma of the Glorious Holy See is that if you want to escape the washing of the universe, you must start a new century, although the Emperor is not interested in this kind of thing, but he is very interested in the way to start a new century." The old man turned his head to look at Ye Kexin, who was full of annoyance, and then sighed.

"The way to start the new century? What does this have to do with exploring extragalactic galaxies? Ye Kexin was a little puzzled.

"You're smart, sometimes stupid." The old man raised his hand and flicked a brain on Ye Kexin's forehead, "The way to start the new century is to rush out of the galaxy." ”

"Oh, but why?" Ye Kexin remembered something, and looked back at the passage that he had passed before.

"That's right, the enemy we encountered, brought an alien virus into the galaxy Yes, the disaster that swept the entire galaxy is the pioneer of the alien galaxy that human beings encountered after leaving the galaxy, and the pioneer who has also developed into the era of interstellar travel has a level of technology comparable to that of human beings, but after the two met, for some reason, they did not sit down and talk calmly, but fought hard, and the previous declaration was issued during wartime, In order to open a new century, mankind can be said to have put together the name of dozens of generations, and the wars that lasted for 39 epochs made mankind exhausted and finally defeated, and the glorious and great ancient human civilization declined. It wasn't until the final battle that the Emperor personally detonated the Scepter of Nothingness, a symbol of defeat and destruction, and the Holy Light System placed on the twelve Dreadnought-class battleships was activated at the same time, and humanity gave up on starting a new era and chose to face the God's flush in despair. ”

There was endless sadness in the old man's tone, although 120,000 years have passed, such a memory will still not be erased from the core of the old man's memory, the invasion of the pioneers and the spread of the terrorist virus make the old man see no hope, even if the human beings who have re-emerged in the galaxy for some reason still have no ability to defeat the pioneers, after all, the extremely brilliant ancient humans have not broken through such a cage.

"Tell me, what are the Pioneers like, and why are they attacking you just because the ancients left the galaxy?" Ye Kexin sighed, and Ye Kexin naturally felt the sadness of the old man.

"No, leaving the galaxy alone didn't make the Pioneers notice us, but unfortunately, we had conflicting interests over some issues." The old man slowly recalled, "Human beings and pioneers were not hostile from the beginning, although they were not absolutely friendly, but they still maintained close cooperation for the common good, and the two sides have maintained a cooperative relationship in the first ten epochs, human beings and pioneers translated each other's languages for better communication, and humans and pioneers even took out some of their own technology as a symbol of friendship." But unfortunately, the sudden appearance of high-yield crystal ore veins on the cantilever of Sagittarius in the galaxy made the pioneers begin to covet the property of mankind, although Shang Fang signed a contract for mutual mining, after all, at that time human beings were eager to get rid of the shackles of the galaxy, but the pioneers did not seem to be satisfied, and the high-energy crystal reserves in the Andromeda galaxy were seriously insufficient, which was also the criticism of the old galaxy. ”

"So the pioneers started the war? This sounds too old-fashioned. Ye Kexin shrugged helplessly.

"No, it was the human race that started the war first, and the pioneers carried a large number of high-energy crystals to withdraw from the galaxy after the breach of contract, but human beings naturally will not tolerate such an act, after all, the pioneers' advanced mining technology has made sixty percent of the high-energy crystals in the veins mined by the pioneers, which can supply the galaxy human empire for nearly half a week's energy reserves, and want to plunder the property of human beings, human beings naturally don't do it, so human beings raided the pioneers on the border of the galaxy." The 'Wait and See' class frontier space station cut off the path for the Pioneer mining forces to retreat, and then went on a killing spree, slaughtering 200,000 Pioneer miners and crews on human soil. There was no expression on the old man's face, but Ye Kexin could see that the old man was very entangled in his heart, this was the starting point of the demise of mankind, but the pioneers did go too far.
