In Fin's understanding, no matter which compartment the spaceship is in, it should be a structure with dense pipes and no waste of space. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info If it is a control room, it will be full of instruments and seats large enough to accommodate many controllers, so that various information such as spacecraft energy, power, flight control and internal conditions can be gathered, so that the captain or first mate can keep track of the situation of the spacecraft at any time.

It is not for nothing that the ancestors said that these palaces were spaceships, and it is natural for ordinary people to make such speculations, but for those who have visited the palaces on the spot, this speculation is nothing more than whimsy.

Take the palace where it is located at the moment, it is so spacious, it should be a social occasion for the ancestors, the walls are still stone, and there are no devices related to energy and power. Although the Scarlet Stars have built huge floating land, it has only lifted the land some distance, and it is temporary. And such a huge structure, in any way, it is not obvious that it has anything to do with the ship.

Xia Ming understood the limitations of Fen's thinking, after all, they didn't even know that the "shell" of the ancestral palace was not a stone, but an organic-inorganic mixture similar to metamaterials. Moreover, the multi-layered isolation structure between this hall and other areas immediately reminded him of Starlink's original "space capsule house" in Amstar Gaoquan City.

The previous guess was wrong, even the ancestors were not indigenous to this planet, perhaps this planet was the result of artificial modification.

With the flow of air and the fluctuation of electromagnetic signals, Xia Ming's perception continued to stretch downward, outlining a vague outline, this spaceship without energy and power units was at least four or five kilometers high, and nearly one kilometer wide at its widest, just like the public buildings in Amstar Gaoquan City, not only was it empty, but there was no more additional information.

Fen and Xia Ming walked through the empty hall, light and heavy steps, the rhythm was not the same, but gradually, the light steps merged into the heavy steps, just two steps equal to one step.

Xia Ming asked, "Are the palaces of the ancestors like this?" ”

"Yes, more than 60 palaces have been found so far, and according to historical records, there are many more in antiquity, only damaged in the great tides," Fen said. ”

The discovered "palace" left the Scarlet people with words, language and scientific thinking methods, but beyond that, there were no details related to the ancestors themselves, and Xia Ming once again had a sense of déjà vu. In the plan formulated by the Academy of Sciences, there is such a plan for the disposal of valuable and non-threatening alien civilizations, and the so-called ancestors seem to be the counterparts of human beings.

A spiral staircase on the inside of the hall leads down to another level, where the archives of the research center are located. The Imperial soldiers guarding the stairs wanted to stop Fen from taking Xia Ming, a "robot", into the archives, and Fen sent them away with the kind of true performance just now.

Xia Ming had already found out what was going on in the next layer about 100 meters deep, which surprised him a little, it seemed that the other party had superb acting skills.

Xia Ming asked, "Did you send a signal before landing?" ”

"yes, didn't you confirm the state of the garrison here and make a sketch before we landed? And, when Uncle and they get close, your robot will be able to control the landing field. ”

Fen's mind was still delicate: "Is there something wrong?" ”

The lights in the staircase were installed by the scarlet people themselves, and in the wide but lonely spiral staircase, except for the footsteps of the two, there was only the sound of electricity, and the conversation between the two was the secret words in the helmet.

Xia Ming said lightly: "Can you ask your uncle to cancel this attack?" ”

"It's—it's impossible!"

Fen's footsteps stopped suddenly: "Uncle is only the leader of the resistance army in the third island ring, and this time he was able to organize the resistance army in the whole island ring, or because the significance of the action is very significant, and there is no absolutely reliable reason and evidence, the action cannot be stopped......"

She was nervous: "What did you find, right?" ”

Distinguishing a special existence from the information he sensed, Xia Ming pondered and said, "I just found out that this place is ready to meet the rebels. ”

Fen's trust in Xia Ming is unreserved: "Ho...... Damn the mole! ”

She turned and walked back: "I have to tell my uncle!" ”

"Even if your uncle believes it? Will other rebel leaders believe it? They were less than an hour behind us, and they had to send them. ”

Xia Ming's words made Fen stop, although she didn't understand the words later, but Fen understood very well, this was what she had emphasized to Xia Ming just now.

She said anxiously, "So, what should I do!?" ”

The radio communication device is on the battleship, and the scarlet people have not yet developed communication technology like a portable phone, and it will take more than half an hour to return to the battleship, and the rebel brigade is almost there at that time.

"With me, don't worry, I can't guarantee that the rebels will not suffer casualties in the battle, but I can guarantee victory in this battle."

Xia Ming said leisurely: "What's more, the host is ready to greet him, it's too rude for the guest to leave like this." ”

Fen was flustered, but at this time, she could only listen to Xia Ming.

After walking the long spiral staircase, this floor was originally a hall, but the research center set up an archive room to gather information from all sides, and the hall was divided into several parts, and a suspended corridor was erected around it.

For Fin, it's weird that the hallways that should be crowded with people are empty.

A footstep sounded, from far and near, and soon after, a figure resembling Fen appeared across the empty hall.

Fen exclaimed in surprise, "Sue!? ”

At the first moment when she recognized the other party's figure, she still wanted to run over, just like meeting a friend when she was shopping. But as soon as her heels were raised, she understood something.

Amid the dense footsteps, a large group of Imperial soldiers appeared in the covered bridge and hall, blocking the stairs and surrounding Fen and Xia Ming inside.

An officer said coldly, "It's only five minutes, Miss Fagu Yabe, we still have to brace ourselves to deal with the rebels outside." ”

"Sue!?"

Fen shouted again, this time in shock and disbelief.

"You threw yourself into the Empire!? You have broken the oath we made in the public school!? Why? Why!? ”

Fen was a little broken, Xia Ming's heart did not fluctuate, just now he had sensed the existence of this Su.

He didn't know that the girl in front of him was Su, but the information found in this research center was given by Su, and after coming here, he realized that the Imperial Army had secretly arranged to deal with the rebels, and the drone also found that there were a large number of Imperial warships lurking on the island not far from here, and then sensed a scarlet girl who was about the same size as Fen and had a transcendent status in the archives. According to Occam's razor principle, she is the most likely Sue, and it is true.

Su said in a very heavy tone: "Fen, surrender, you just don't know the truth." If you believe me, lay down your arms and take my side, and I will tell you everything. ”

"I've been believing in you!"

Fen didn't know when, she had already aimed her gun at Sue, and her slender body shook violently, causing the armor skirt to make a gurgling sound.

"But you are destroying such trust with the lives of my uncle, my comrades-in-arms, and countless people whom I regard as relatives!"

Fen suddenly became so strong that even Xia Ming was a little surprised.

"I don't know, what kind of betrayal can give you the courage to stand in front of me, and have the confidence to let me accept such a heavy price, you have three minutes to explain......"

Fen was also crying when he spoke, and the scarlet people's tears were a little special, reflecting a diamond-like brilliance under the illumination of different light sources.

Sue's throat emitted a long rhythmic note like a song, and it was their long sigh.

"I can't say too much into the details, that's hurting you, I can only tell you that the ancestors are not as noble and great as we think, they may have created us, but they have another purpose."

"Those who are still asleep, when they wake up, it will be the end of the whole world. The Empire is doing its best to prevent this from happening, but must also be prepared to fight the Eternal Sleeper just in case. ”

"This requires us Scarlet people to work together, just like building a floating land together more than two hundred years ago, regardless of life and death, regardless of gains and losses, everyone dedicates everything they have."

"We need tears, we need as many tears as possible, and although many people will lose their lives for this, such a price must be paid! Finn, you should understand that the big picture is more important......"

Sue's words made Fen even angrier: "Are you just using this kind of cliché that has been said for more than a hundred years to perfunctory me? If this is the truth, why is the empire secretive? Why not come up with evidence? For everyone to work together, first of all, everyone must know that you are telling the truth! ”

"Finn, the empire has never hidden it, the truth is in the library of every city, more than a hundred years ago, the Royal Wizarding Society gave such a truth, but how many people believe it? Don't they all think it's the empire like you, no, it's an excuse made up by the heavenly nobles? ”

Su was also angry: "What happened to the wizards who announced this fact back then?" They caused the whole society to be in turmoil, intensifying the conflict between the heavenly nobles and the underground people, and the empire had to take them as victims. They are heroes who have discovered the truth, but they have been guillotined to decorate those who would rather commit suicide or murder than believe that the gods of the ancestors do not exist and that the eternal sleeper will wake up and destroy the world! Among them are the people of our Fagu Yabe family! ”

She stepped lightly on the floor and vented her indignation no less than Sue: "Ninety-five percent, ninety-five percent of the people are such ignorant and ignorant people, and their souls are bleak. They have never only fought for the immediate interests of individuals, or a group of people, in their eyes, the scarlet people as a whole do not exist, any behavior that infringes on their interests, with despicable purposes, they are the kind of dust that will not look at the sky when they die! ”

"That's not just a little bit of interest, Su ......"

Fen's mind is still firm: "That is their life, it is the dignity and happiness they deserve, if even these are deprived, what is the whole of the Scarlet Starling!?" Only the scarlet people of the heavenly nobility remain? ”

"There's no way around it......"

Su spread his hands: "Tear crystals, steel, radioactive elements, most of the resources, must be used to produce warships and weapons, and there are no more resources for large-scale immigration projects." Although tear crystal radiation is harmful to health, it can produce wizards steadily. Until a way is found to eliminate the radiation and maintain the wizard's output, anything that changes the status quo of tear crystal radiation is not allowed. The rebels' destruction of tearcrystals and other resource supplies was not allowed. ”

"You will also accuse the empire of why it does not disclose all this, but you don't know that around this desire of yours, the empire has been fighting for hundreds of years, and countless outstanding talents have been sacrificed in this meaningless internal friction. These sacrifices finally made the top of the empire understand one thing, the people don't need the truth, they can't accept such a cruel truth, all they need is obedience! ”

"Fen, a gentle and amiable nanny can't be a savior, only a father who hides his love in scolding and whipping can take on the responsibility of saving the world!"

The powerful force carried in Su's words made Fen not know how to respond for a while, perhaps Su himself was persuaded by such a heavy social philosophy and threw himself into the imperial government.

"Is the sacrifice of the people a matter of course......

Fen was silent for a moment, and wanted to fight back, but for Xia Ming, this was just a different position deducing their own self-consistent logic, and Fen had been led by Su to just want to use his own logic to overwhelm the other party's logic, instead of seeking the truth.

He reminded her through the headset, and Fen calmed down: "The crux of the matter is, how can you be sure that the ancestors are evil? How do you think that the Eternal Sleeper will destroy the world when he awakens? ”

Su was about to speak, when the Imperial officer on the covered bridge, who was already very impatient, spoke up: "Miss Fagu Yabei, you have access to top secrets for special reasons. And a rebel is not qualified to use this secret in exchange for her understanding and support for the imperial government. ”

Even if the imperial government controlled by the heavenly aristocracy is working to save the world, power is power, and it is not changed by the will of the ruler, and what is attached to power must be rancid interests that are enough to blaspheme noble motives.

Xia Ming thought so, and suddenly felt a little sweaty, isn't this also a satire of the Star Alliance.

Looking at the officer and noticing the various markings on his uniform, Xia Ming's heart suddenly moved. The skull on the armband is very different from the skull structure of the Scarlet Man. Of course, like the skull motifs used by pirates or other violent groups in humans to make markers, it may be an aesthetic retouch, but there is another possibility......

Sending this skull mark to Xia Xiaoyan, dozens of heads with different shapes were restored in a moment, none of which resembled the scarlet people, but the complete head could be restored, which proved Xia Ming's speculation.

Fen was a little stunned, but she believed Xia Ming, and her words made both Fen and the officer stunned: "Did you find the remains of the ancestors?" Or even found the Eternal Sleeper? ”

The other party's posture confirmed this guess, and after a moment of silence, Su said, "Since you guessed, then you should believe what I said, right?" Fen, we are still good sisters, good sisters for life, come to my side. ”

"Why didn't you announce it?"

Fen also stepped on the floor: "To publish the truth, means to expose the dirty struggle within the empire for more than a hundred years? How much gore has been created by fearing an operation to cover up the truth? Worried that the people's actions to confirm the truth will undermine the foundation of the heavenly aristocracy's rule over the world by violence? Worried about sparking a discussion and taking away the supreme authority that you have to decide what to do with the world? ”

Xia Ming wanted to applaud this scarlet girl, she discovered the true logic of the other party's hidden dark side.

It was Sue's turn to feel powerless: "No, it's not like this......"

"That's it! This is not a debate in an aristocratic school! It's been a long time coming! ”

The officers waved, and the soldiers swung their spears and guns around.

"Miss Prayer Hortala, we won't hurt you, and as for whether or not you will go to the guillotine in the future, it depends on what your family will do."

The officer pointed at Xia Ming and said, "Your robot is amazing, the lords of the Royal Wizards Society must be very interested, take down that big guy first." ”

"No!"

Fen subconsciously pulled the trigger and knocked down one of the soldiers who rushed to the front. Although she knows that this alien visitor is very powerful, for her, it is a guest and a comrade-in-arms, and she has an obligation to protect.

Fen's actions made the soldiers react subconsciously, and in the smoke of gunfire, Fen was shot several times, and was hit by the "robot" first, and then slowly fell to the ground.

"Fn-!?"

Su shouted loudly and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by the soldiers.

"She asked for it, kill that robot, there's a big show outside, we can't be absent."

The officer was unmoved, and under his command, the soldiers kept shooting at Xia Ming, and Su was already kneeling on the ground, muttering with tears streaming down his face: "Why, why don't you believe me......"

"You still have a chance", Xia Ming's mechanical voice made the Imperial soldiers so frightened that they forgot to shoot for a while.

The countless bullets that were fired on his body had no effect on the "robot giant", and as soon as the cloak was lifted, the "robot giant" held a short stick similar to a large flashlight, and the tip of the short stick made a muffled sound similar to thunder, and then stretched out a blazing pillar of light, buzzing and burning the air.

The officer retreated again and again: "Y-Who are you!?" ”

The respirator on his face made a mechanical sound of snorting, followed by a deep voice: "Unfortunately, I'm not your father." (To be continued.) )
