From the beginning of Xia Ming's relationship with R3AI, to the later creation of Starlink, and the formulation of the "Soul Charter", everything he did boiled down to the independence and freedom of the soul. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For all living beings on earth, the so-called protection of the autonomous will and the maintenance of the freedom of the soul in the "Soul Charter" are all high-sounding pretenses. The vast majority of people do not have a clear self-awareness, and are directly or indirectly influenced by public opinion and education controlled by power and capital, and their physiological materialism and competition dominate their weak souls, and they do not care about the subordination of souls.

This is also the norm of naturally evolving life in the universe, and their souls are inherently free, so they do not recognize the preciousness of soul freedom.

For the scarlet people, an artificially catalyzed life race, they thought that their souls were free, but after learning the truth about the evolution of their own race, they found that their souls were inherently unfree. The resulting strong yearning for the freedom of the soul is incomprehensible to ordinary human beings. When the Scarlet Imperial Army experienced first-hand the control of their consciousness by the Qimu people and the occupation and even dissolution of their souls in Basensbeka, they finally understood what the future mission of the entire race was.

Of these, Sue was the most radical.

Before the Battle of the Bassenberga Star Ring, the Imperial Army had not experienced it personally, but only learned something from the mouths of the Qimu captives, and Sue was not very strong.

When Fen passed the consciousness activity training and could access the spirit net, Su was a little shocked, but it didn't seem to be subversive.

It wasn't until the Battle of Bassensbeka, when the surviving Imperial officers and soldiers brought back relevant information, as well as many wounded wizards who were confused or had a drastic change in temperament, that Sue finally collapsed.

Xia Ming responded to Fen's request to appease Su, and prevented Su's suicide again in time, in order to save her, he tried to show Su his experience with Star Alliance through the connection of surface consciousness, and encouraged her not to give up.

It was probably the time when he was alone that made him Su's only dependence. For him, he was also very touched by Sue's cherishing of the freedom of the soul, and he felt deep pity for Su.

However, to clear the Qimu people's control over the soul of the Scarlet Stars, let alone the Scarlet People themselves, the Star Federation can't do it now.

The brains of the scarlet people, according to the different physiological structures of the body, also have some differences from humans, but they follow the same evolutionary laws.

The predecessor of the Scarlet Man was an aquatic mammal with a fairly well-developed brain, similar to an enhanced version of the dolphin. The Qimu people also took a fancy to this, so they transformed the scarlet people.

The Starlink Biological Academy has entered an in-depth study of the brains of the scarlet people, trying to uncover the secrets of the scarlet people from the material level, especially the connection between the scarlet wizards and the strange stones, and the principle of the Qimu people controlling the consciousness of the scarlet people. However, the traditional scientific methods did not make much progress, and in the end, it was the evolutionary institute that took the path of consciousness and vitality and made some gains.

The key lies in the neural quantum effect of the brain, and the Institute of Evolution found that compared with the neural quantum effect of humans, there is an unidentified spectrum in the neural quantum effect of the brain of all scarlet people, and the format is different from that of humans. Moreover, there is a big difference between wizards and ordinary people in this frequency spectrum, the spectrum of wizards is much more active, and when they interact with tear crystals, they will expand into the movement of the entire brain, and then activate the power of tear crystals.

This spectrum can be found in scarlet newborns, and it is obviously solidified in the genetics, or the genes are controlled by this spectrum.

Compared with the information obtained by the periscope team, this is obviously the trace of the Qimu people's use of soul power to carry out biological transformation, which is irreversible, and this discovery also casts a shadow on the scarlet people's starification.

Through consciousness activity training, Fen can access the spirit network, and the Institute of Evolution has also confirmed that consciousness activity training can stimulate the power of the "native neural quantum effect" of the scarlet brain, thereby suppressing the "puppet band".

But suppression is suppression after all, even if it is Fen, if it is faced with the consciousness control of the Qimu people, whether it can withstand it, and whether the "puppet band" has more direct control directly aimed at the physiological level of the scarlet people, the Evolution Institute is still unclear. After all, the authority of this frequency band is now held by the Maywe family, and Harappa is only an agent temporarily held.

Even if the Star Alliance defeated the Qi Empire and claimed the authority from the Ma Youwei family, for the Scarlet Star people, it was just a change of controller, and they still did not get rid of the fate of being controlled.

The Institute of Evolution has proposed a plan to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, that is, to draw on the self-possession brain transformation technology of the periscope team, set up a virtual machine in the scarlet brain, transfer the consciousness associated with this frequency band to the virtual machine, and then set up a switching mechanism. If there is any indication of being controlled by the Kimu, this control is limited to the virtual machine.

However, this scheme is too restrictive, it must have a high level of consciousness activity, and no one knows if this virtual machine can limit the control of the Qimu people.

Now the strategy of the Star Federation can only be to promote the consciousness activity training of the scarlet people, hoping that the consciousness activity can suppress the control, while waiting for the periscope team to discover more secrets of the soul power of the Qimu people.

This uncertain situation is a kind of torment for Sue. Fortunately, as the Empress of the Empire, she has a lot of work to do, and she can temporarily suppress her worries about herself and the future fate of the entire race.

It's just that when you get along with Fen and even Xia Ming, this emotion will still explode after all.

"Let's go to the mecha training school first, that's the pride of our empire."

Su stabilized his mood and made a recommendation to Xia Ming.

"Okay, listen to you, Your Majesty", Xia Ming joked and sent an order to Ma Guling's assistant: "Go to Longsword Island......"

The Maguling on the console let out a short, ticking electronic sound, and the battleship sped up and broke through the air.

Part of Xia Ming's consciousness has been woven with Qianyan's consciousness, monitoring the Strange Galaxy and the Basensbeka Galaxy. Although he has reached a quite tacit understanding with Harappa, and the periscope operation is going smoothly, it is difficult to guarantee that the other Qimu people will not suddenly appear through the navigation beacon that has not yet been discovered by the Star Alliance, and before there is no major progress in gravitational detection technology, he must take on the work of remote warning with Qianyan.

In this case, he can't spare his energy to follow up on too many details of Starlink. Like this kind of Sharp Bird cruiser, he didn't let Xia Xiaoyan take over the piloting and control, but chose Ma Guling's assistant. Although it is not an official establishment, this Ma Guling, named Taylor K89, is really the first Ma Guling to serve Xia Ming.

For Taylor K89, this is both an honor and a huge pressure. It has been silent during the trip, and it is completely unclear that it is a new generation of Ma Guling who has integrated into human culture and likes to sing pop songs with electronic music at work.

Regarding Ma Guling, Su was full of doubts in the past, and he also accused Xia Ming. It is said that the Blue Star people treat Ma Guling the same as the Qimu people treat the Scarlet Star people, and Ma Gu Ling is not also a life race without soul freedom?

Xia Ming took the time to take her and Fen to the Tangyao Galaxy, so that they could understand the origin of Ma Guling, the cultivation process, and visit Ma Guling's "home planet". Going to Tang Kiln is just incidental, Xia Ming's real purpose is just to get together with Xiaotang. Xiaotang is now living on Tangyao with her Tang Xiaoyao, and is engaged in the "interstellar universal endoskeleton" technology, hoping to allow humans to have a wider range of alien environment adaptability.

The trip to Tang Kiln made Su understand that Ma Guling was different from humans and scarlet people, and strictly speaking, he was not a "life race". It is not possible to give birth naturally, and the higher wisdom comes entirely from human beings, without its own independent society. Their predecessor, Matt Ball, lives like the Scarlet Stars.

But Su still wasn't completely relieved, she once asked Xia Ming: "If an interstellar civilization develops to a very advanced level, will it inevitably enslave other life races through soul control?" Or even create a new race of life as slaves? ”

Xia Ming and even the entire Star Federation already have a full understanding of this problem.

Xia Ming replied in detail: "If the life race is divided into higher and lower according to the degree of evolution, then the higher race will inevitably incorporate the lower race into its own civilization system, and this trend is inevitable. But how to incorporate, can be divided into many different forms. There are both violent and coercive, and there are also soft and natural. There are both soul-controlled and culturally influenced. ”

"The civilization established by every higher race is not pure, but an ecology. You see, we Blue Star people, like you Scarlet Star People, will domesticate many lower life forms as tools and even pets. For these lower beings, their survival and reproduction, their way of life, and the meaning of life have all left nature and become an integral part of higher civilization. ”

"We Blue Star people are more advanced, and our civilization is one level more than yours, so we can accommodate high-level intelligent beings like Ma Guling, and even strange beings like the old people. They are also becoming an integral part of the Blue Star civilization. It's just that because the time of appearance is too short, civilization has not fully adapted, just like the old people, we have not found a clear and definite space for them to exist. But I believe that with the further development of civilization, eventually we will solve this problem. ”

"The civilization of the Qimu people is more advanced than ours, they have god-like life technology, and the civilization ecology they have established is also larger. In essence, this is the inevitable development of civilization. It's just that the Qimu people chose the way of soul control, accommodating a wide variety of higher intelligent beings as vassals and slaves. It also has to do with the roots of their civilization, and they themselves are intelligent beings built on the control of the soul. ”

When Xia Ming answered, he was also thinking about the essential difference between these two paths.

Su asked: "Although the foundation of the civilization of the Blue Star people is not soul control, but soul control is the most efficient and least hidden means, will the Blue Star people also embark on the path of the Qimu people in the future?" ”

Xia Ming smiled, and his own question was answered.

"For intelligent life, the soul is the ultimate meaning of evolution, and as long as there is a soul, it is natural to pursue freedom. Therefore, soul control is inherently a paradox, and we will not choose this path. ”

"Moreover, the path of civilization of the Blue Star people is rationality and science. The Qimu people call the foundation of our science mechanical reason, and from this point of view, the life contained in our civilization is more related to sensibility. As for tools and whatnot, don't we have optical brains, intelligence, and robots? ”

Su blinked her round eyes and asked cautiously, "Sensual?" Just like pets? ”

Xia Ming rubbed her head like rubbing her daughter's head, the filaments on the scarlet man's head were very soft and smooth, but they were very tough, and the feel was really strange.

Xia Ming said: "Can't you be like a partner, like a relative? ”

In retrospect, similar communication may have further aggravated Sue's dependence.

Seeing that Fen and Su were both distracted, not knowing whether they were talking on the communication channel or thinking about their own thoughts, Xia Ming reached out and rubbed their heads. The two girls were stunned at first, and then pouted, as if they were not happy to be treated as children, but no one took their heads away.

The speed of the Bladebird battleship in the atmosphere is not very fast, the limit is only Mach 5, and it will take half an hour to reach its destination.

Longsword Island, a large island of tens of thousands of square kilometers, was given this name by the Scarlet People because of its slender terrain, and is now the exclusive island of the Scarlet Royal Mecha Academy.

After the battleship landed, Xia Ming and the two empresses went straight to the academy's training ground, and the cosmic officers and soldiers in charge of guarding them chased behind, both excited and nervous about this sudden attack.

"Leader, they're ready to go to war!"

Seeing the situation in the training ground, Su said to Xia Ming with a deep sense of pride.

On the curtain wall, seven mechas, more than two meters high, are engaged in hand-to-hand combat with a dozen or so starmen, and there are two mechs and seven or eight starmen lying on the ground. Looking at the situation at the scene, the mecha side obviously has an advantage, and the Tuxing people can't hold out for long.

The Periscope Squad has gained a lot of money, from the Star Alliance to the Scarlet Starmen, from military to technology, and has benefited a lot in all aspects. Embodied in the Mecha Academy, it is the setting of an imaginary enemy. The Planetarians, a vassal race that specializes in defense, are not only found in Harappa, but also in the transcendent wizards of other families.

The Mecha Academy is one of Scarlet's achievements in the Star Link, and it is also a project that Su has been personally concerned about, so it is naturally the first on Su's list of recommendations.

The future of the Scarlet Empire has always been a matter for both the Star Federation and the Scarlet Empire, and after the Bassensbeka Star Ring War, it was confirmed that the Qimu people could control wizards and even the Scarlet Stars in general, and the existing Imperial Army was faced with a choice of where to go.

Han and Su, including Fin, did not want the Imperial Army to be disbanded, and they insisted that the Scarlet Stars must have a place in the future war with the Qimu. For this reason, the Star Alliance has done some research and found a new position for the Imperial Army, that is, planetary warfare and fleet landing warfare.

The tasks and environments of planetary warfare are very complex, and the environment of each planet is different, if you use robots, the work in adjustment and control is very heavy, but the employment of people is different. People are the most resilient.

The same is true for fleet warfare, the internal environment of the battleship is also very complex, and the battle space is relatively narrow. In the past, although Starlink relied on humans and robots, the role of robots was only firepower and protection, and the command and execution of complex tactics still depended on people.

In the past, against the Super Horse Whip, at that time there were only people and robots, and the battlefield was concentrated, and the number of marines was not as great as the battleship side. But once the war with the Qi Empire starts, the Qi Empire has a very vast star field, with countless planets and warships under its jurisdiction, and there will be a serious shortage of troops on the side of the Star Alliance.

Scarlet people have the heart to participate in the war, and this position is perfect for scarlet people. Moreover, even if it is controlled by the Kimu, the anomaly of the land unit will not affect the fleet.

Therefore, on the one hand, the Star Federation is studying how to eliminate the soul control of the Scarlet Star People, and on the other hand, it is also helping the Scarlet Imperial Army transform into interstellar infantry. In terms of the Scarlet Star Empire, Su Hehan and others regard this matter as the value of the Scarlet Stars, and do not think that the Star Alliance uses the Scarlet People as cannon fodder.

To be honest, even if it is cannon fodder, the equipment provided by the Star Alliance for the Scarlet Stars, as well as the training for them, in the eyes of the Scarlet People, has exceeded the value of human lives.

The Star Alliance built this academy, based on the Star League Marine Mecha, to transform the Battle Mecha suitable for the Scarlet People, and the Space Force Marine Corps provided full training in virtual and real environments.

One of Su's important tasks as empress was to establish a conscription system that covered the entire population, and to select outstanding talents and send them to the academy. The Mecha Academy is held every six months, and it is now the fifth batch of students, with a total of nearly 20,000 people.

"How? Three months ago, none of the ten of them could win against a single star man", Su asked Xia Ming eagerly with a glint of anticipation in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
