After going offline from the Leyan Casino, Mo Cheng stayed for a long time speculating about the color under the porcelain bowl. For some reason, he always had the feeling that the porcelain bowl might not be really black underneath, but he lacked enough evidence to confirm his judgment.

It was in this contradiction that Mocheng handed over the account to Benz and completely withdrew from the Internet.

And for this favor of Mo Cheng, Benz didn't have much to say, only said, "Although I have failed so many years, one day, I will prove that I am not a useless person." ”

Because his mind was full of the gamble just now, Mo Cheng didn't have time to think deeply about what Benz meant by what he said.

After retiring from the net, Mo Cheng crossed his feet, put his hands on his knees, straightened his body, closed his eyes, and gradually retracted his distracted attention. This method was learned by watching Suldans do this when he was a child.

After sitting like this for about three minutes, Mo Cheng's mind stabilized slightly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the hidden dragon standing in front of him. The hidden dragon's eyes were full of relief, joy, but a little reluctance.

"Teacher ......"

Mo Cheng stood up, holding Hidden Dragon's hand, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Hidden Dragon, "Let's go, the teacher is waiting for you." ”

Mo Cheng sighed helplessly and followed behind the Hidden Dragon.

The white flowers on the tree in front of the Surdain Gate bloomed again, and the breeze blew through it, sending a faint, indescribable fragrance. It gives people the feeling of being in a state of emptiness, as if everything in the past has been forgotten.

At this time, Suldan, was sitting cross-legged on the ground, leaning against the ancient tree, closing his eyes, silently smelling the fragrance of the flower.

"Here we are."

Sensing the arrival of the city of Me, Suldan's eyes opened.

"Hmm."

Mer City walked over to Suldan's side and sat down.

"You know, why I called you, right?"

Suldan asked.

"Well, but I don't think I'm hot enough...... I want to ......"

"The eagle does not have stiff wings, so it wants to fly to the sky, and it is just looking for the wings to fold. But if you have a good pair of wings, but you still cherish the nest, then you will degenerate into a fowl. ”

Speaking of this, Surdan looked at Mo Cheng, "Although it has only been four years, what I can teach you with Hidden Dragon has basically already taught you. Now you, sunshine, but there is no lack of cunning when necessary; Kindness, but there is no lack of insidiousness when necessary, sincerity, but no lack of shamelessness when necessary. Of course, you still have many shortcomings and imperfections, but this is not something that can be perfected by teaching, you have to go out into the vast universe to improve yourself. ”

"Grandma, in fact, I'm not sure that I won the gamble with Xingchen, I didn't see the answer to the mystery."

"It's a bit flawed, but it's nothing, the most important thing is that you win."

Suldan pointed to the new light brain in the room, which had downloaded the simulation environment for the Battle of Kallan. The Battle of Calland was one of the most important battles of Emperor Lucifer's life. It was through this battle that Emperor Lucifer unified the seventh interstellar administrative region at that time, which is now the seventy-second to eighty-third interstellar administrative region. At that time, there were four forces in this area, Serkolev, the king of pirates, the General Association of Black Sea Mercenaries, the United Trust of Manland, and Emperor Lucifer.

"This is the simulated environment of the Battle of Kallan, which in the past took three years from preparation to finish. You're free to adjust the speed of the simulation, but you only have two weeks to complete it. Surdan said, standing up, "During this time, you will stay in the room, and I will have Xiaohong bring you food and water." ”

Mo Cheng didn't have anything, because he knew it was useless to say anything.

As soon as Suldan's departure from the room, Merdan plunged headlong into the simulated environment that Suldan's had set for him, and began to fully understand all the data and information.

Fleet data, economic data, data on the combat potential of each planet, surrounding forces, surnames of key commanders, and more.

This time, Mo Cheng didn't dare to slack off, nor did he dare to rush, he learned about it for a whole week before activating the entire simulation environment. The entire simulation environment is basically an exact recreation of the war more than a thousand years ago.

Although there are many details, in general, there are four main forces in this area: Serkolev, the King of Pirates, the Black Sea Mercenary Association, the Manlan United Trust, and Emperor Lucifer.

Among these four forces, Serkolev's military strength is the strongest, accounting for about 40 percent of the total military strength after calculation, and what he is most feared about is his direct personal guard with 8,000 base ships as the core.

In addition to Serkolev, the strongest military strength is Emperor Lucifer, whose military strength accounts for about two out of five.

Next is the Manland Union Trust, which accounts for about 20%.

The worst is the Black Sea Mercenary Association, which is about one percent.

After the simulation environment was activated, the time was frozen on the 5th day of the seventh month of the 156th year of the Alpha calendar. According to the regulations, the city of Mer must complete the entire campaign by the 5th day of the seventh month of the 159th year of the Alpha calendar.

In only three short years, there is no essential change in the strength of the major forces during this period.

And with the current military strength of Emperor Lucifer, it is impossible to unify by force alone, and Mo Cheng is very clear about this. So he poured a lot of energy into studying the internal environment of his opponent.

Serkolev is too big and must be the first target to be killed.

The Black Sea Mercenary Regiment is the weakest and can be annexed, but even if it can be successfully annexed, it is still not as strong as Serkolev, and it will take time to digest. After digesting it, and then destroying the other two forces again, three years is definitely not enough.

Therefore, for the Black Sea mercenary group, it must be used to unite.

Finally, there is the Manland United Trust, for which Merce City has found an important point - the Manland United Trust is controlled by the board of directors, and to put it bluntly, it is actually a joint-stock company in disguise, with economic interests as the primary goal.

After thinking about these three things clearly, Mo Cheng began to make various preparations, the deployment of the fleet, the allocation of the front-line fleet and energy, and the continuous dispatch of diplomatic envoys and various secret envoys.

After the preparations, Mo Cheng began to do it, he first sold a large number of second- and third-tier spaceships at low prices, as well as various industrial products, in the Interstellar Trade Center, and raised a huge amount of money, with a total of 20 billion hard currency.

This figure was almost equal to twice the annual income of all the planets under the command of Emperor Lucifer at that time.

Merce used the huge amount of money to bribe several of the directors of the Manlan United Trust, forming an offensive and defensive alliance with them, and agreeing to attack the Black Sea Mercenary Guild together.

Because the cost was too big, Manlan and the trust agreed to all the requests, and the joint forces marched to the capital of the Black Sea Mercenary Society.

With such a large fleet going on an expedition, it is naturally impossible to keep it secret, and after getting this news, the Black Sea mercenaries will always immediately ask Serkolev for help, and Serkolev will immediately send troops to support.

However, the Black Sea Mercenaries said that they were willing to pay a huge amount of war aid in order to obtain reinforcements, but asked Serkolev to send them to their capital to help defend the strength of the army, not more than seventy percent of them. Instead, use more troops to attack the rear of Emperor Lucifer and the Manlan United Trust.

The light brain showed that Serkolev did just that.

During this time, Mo Cheng has been comparing the time of the simulated environment with the reality of reality, adjusting it to two thousand to one, that is, one hour in reality, which is about three months compared to the simulated environment.

Everything was ready, and a few hours passed, and the combined army of Emperor Lucifer and Manlan United Trust had already formed a formation in the Orris system according to the plan planned in advance by Merce, and was approaching the capital of the Black Sea Mercenary Guild at full speed.

The reason why he chose this place is because Mo Cheng looked around the entire star map and found that on the way from here to the Black Sea Mercenary Guild, there was an asteroid belt, and this asteroid belt was the key to this battle.

It was in this asteroid belt that the army of Emperor Lucifer and the United Trust Army of Manland under the command of Mer City were raided.

The raiders were the Black Sea Mercenary Guild, as well as reinforcements from Serkolev.

Caught off guard, the Manlan United Trust phalanx was in chaos and suffered great losses. However, under the command of the city of Mer, the Lucifer Emperor's army strangely maintained an intact formation and skillfully escaped the battle situation, and the Manlan and the trust army had to fight alone.

When Manland's combined trust army lost more than fifty percent of its troops, Mer commanded the Lucifer Emperor's army back into battle.

However, instead of supporting the Manlan Combined Trust, they attacked Serkolev's reinforcements and the Manlan Combined Trust Army at the same time.

And the best thing is that at this time, the army of the Black Sea Mercenary Union also launched an attack on both armies at the same time.

It was an attack without warning, and Manlan, together with the forces of the trust and Serkolev, was far from expecting that the situation would be like this, and after the battle, they announced their surrender.

The entire battle took no more than twelve days of simulated time, and it took Mo Cheng four hours to direct the war.

After the end of the war, the surrendered army was immediately taken to the capital of the Black Sea Mercenary Guild for reorganization, where there were tens of millions of soldiers and various auxiliaries of Emperor Lucifer and the Black Sea Mercenary Guild, which had been arranged there for a long time.

In just thirty days under the simulated environment, in less than an hour under the real environment, all the surrendered ships were obtained by Emperor Lucifer and the Black Sea Mercenary Association.

After this battle, the strength of the Manlan United Trust was lost by almost sixty percent, and the remaining fleet was only enough to protect itself.

Serkolev lost almost a sixth of his fleet.

And the strength of Emperor Lucifer and the Black Sea Mercenary Association has not weakened, but has greatly increased.

At this time, the strength of the four sides has undergone a great change, and the strength of the combined fleet of Emperor Lucifer and the Black Sea Mercenary Association has surpassed Serkolev's strength.

And the most terrifying thing is that Serkolev thought that his fleet was helping the Black Sea mercenary union at this time.

This is the crux of the whole campaign - until now it has not been possible to find a means of communication that can be faster than light. In modern human warfare, it is common to fight thousands of light years.

According to the technology at that time, the effective transmission distance of photoelectric signals in the folded space was 3.5 light.

Under the condition of parallel space, it takes 3.5 days to transmit 3.5 rays of light, but according to the space folding theory, it only takes less than one second to reach it in the folded space.

In one second, after the light crosses the effective transmission distance of 3.5 light, the photoelectric signal it carries is extremely weak, and the signal must be amplified by the photoelectric relay stations all over the universe for the next transmission.

That is to say, in fact, under the scientific and technological conditions at that time, the speed of the photoelectric signal per second was no longer one light second per second, but three and a half light per second.

At that time, the distance between Serkolev's army and Serkolev's capital was almost 100,000 light-years, which meant that it took about 120 days for the information to be transmitted back.

This means that when something happens on the battlefield, it will take Serkolev a hundred and twenty days at the earliest to know the details.

And Mo Cheng commanded the Lucifer Emperor army to force down the two armies in the asteroid belt, which took less than twelve days, and the reorganization took only thirty days.

Forty-two days later, the city was commanding the coalition forces to attack Serkolev's capital, and for the battle, the city carried almost all the self-energizing energy that could be gathered.

The difference between the fleet and the optoelectronic signal is that the fleet does not have the problem of signal weakness. So theoretically, the fleet could travel through the folded space to any part of the universe it needed in one go.

That is, theoretically, the fleet will only need a second and will be able to get anywhere.

In reality, however, this is not possible, because the distance traversed through the folded space is related to the energy consumed by the fleet. And even if the energy is sufficient, there is a problem of the engine overheating.

In addition, there is a big problem, and that is the limit of the human body.

Mo Cheng specially inquired that under all the restrictions, with the scientific and technological conditions at that time, the actual parallel space distance that various capital warships could traverse every time they entered the folded space to sail was no more than two thousand light years.

After each voyage, both the ship's engine and the military personnel need to be completely corrected, the general standard trimming time is one week, and the minimum trimming time is two days.

If it is less than two days, the combat effectiveness of the fleet will be reduced to a terrible level.

However, Mo Cheng knew that at this time, speed was better than everything, so while maintaining his basic combat power, Mo Cheng recklessly raided, and only used a short repair time of one hundred and six days to complete the process of twenty spatial folding.

In this way, from the beginning of the war to the appearance of Emperor Lucifer's army in Serkolev's capital, it was only a short one hundred and forty-eight days.

This meant that Serkolev had only twenty-eight days more to react than Emperor Lucifer.

The two fleets he sent to attack the Emperor Lucifer and the Manland Union Trust were the closest to him, and it would take thirty days to receive his order to retreat, and it would take two weeks to return at the earliest.

By the time they returned seventeen days later, the war was over, and the retreating fleet had no other option but to surrender.

When the commander of the combined army appeared near Serkolev's capital and found that the light brain showed the strength of the opponent's fleet, which was indeed as expected, Mo Cheng, who had been nervous, wiped his sweat, believing that he could easily win.

However, at this time, a surprising sight happened.

When the two armies formally engaged each other face to face, everything went smoothly at first, but when the large army came into contact with the 50,000 ships directly under the command of Serkolev himself, with 8,000 base ships as the main force, the situation suddenly changed abruptly.

Serkolev, who was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, dared to command his direct personal guard and launch a surprise attack on Emperor Lucifer, who had a million warships.

And at this time, the morale of the Lucifer Emperor army was completely disadvantaged all of a sudden. Serkolev's direct personal guards, whether it is morale, fire control, or the coordinated operation of various ships, have reached a near-perfect state.

The combat effectiveness of this sudden burst is simply incalculable.

This situation made Mo Cheng stunned, "This can't ......"

However, at this time, he didn't have time to be in a daze, and he had to react immediately.

Mo Cheng first immediately adjusted the time comparison to 1:1, and then began to desperately mobilize his troops, forming a thirteen-layer joint defense of the warships, layer by layer to block Serkolev's attack.

Serkolev's army suffered heavy losses, but it was unstoppable, and in just thirty hours, one company broke through the twelve-layer joint defense.

Just as he was about to rush to the tenth floor, Mo Cheng suddenly remembered that he had a fourteen-year-old attendant under his command. This man is called von Godriman.

If memory serves, this guy nicknamed "The Black Knight" can become a super character in the second in command of the empire in the future, although he is only fourteen years old at this time, and all abilities are completely inquired.

However, no matter what, go on, Mercheng immediately dispatched von Godemann as the commander of the eleventh layer of defensive fronts.

Eventually, von Goderiemann's appearance brought a clear result, and after all his efforts, at the cost of von Godemann's death, the city of Merce blocked Serkolev's attack and won the battle.

When the battle was finally over, Mo Cheng threw the slammer on the ground and sat on the ground in disbelief, "According to this situation, these 50,000 ships must be under the unified command of one person to be so neat." But this is impossible, in Serkolev's camp, the strongest is himself, his strategic index is only ten, even with the most advanced 'Guardian' flagship at that time, he can command no more than 10,000 ships, and the combat power cannot be so strong, this is simply a brain-light cheat. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Explanation of terms:

Folding Space Navigation: Equivalent to space jumping as it is commonly understood. Sail into the folded space, and no matter how far you go in the folded space, the real space almost stops.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At this time, Surdan walked in from outside the door, "It's not that the light brain cheats, but because Serkolev has received the first flagship of the universe 'Tearful Mercy'." ”

"But the simulation environment doesn't show this data at all."

After half a month of fighting, Mo Cheng was already completely immersed in the battle just now, so his emotions were a little excited.

"Because Emperor Lucifer didn't know the news before he launched this campaign."

Suldan's answer was calm.

Just when Mo Cheng was feeling annoyed, he saw that the simulated environment gave a score, which was ninety.

He looked at the score explanation again, and ninety points was almost equal to the level of Emperor Lucifer.

"With such a big loss, why do you still have such a high score? It's about the same level as Emperor Lucifer. ”

"Yes, the only difference between you and Emperor Lucifer is that you let von Godemann go when the tenth layer of defense was breached. Emperor Lucifer came to power after the death of Godriman's older brother, the commander of the Guards whom he trusted the most. You're just letting Godriman die for his brother. Other than that, everything is almost exactly the same in your pattern. ”

"Teacher, you should know what 'Tearful Compassion' is all about, right? Can you tell me about it? ”

That's exactly what Surdans wanted to say to Meer.

In the beginning, the so-called flagship in the human world only referred to the warship on which the commander was riding. However, since the large-scale rebellion of intelligent robots, which nearly led to the extinction of humanity, the meaning of the flagship has changed.

Because, since that time, human beings have abandoned the tactics of relying entirely on highly intelligent machines to command warships. To put it simply, in the most critical part of data and intelligence processing, the human brain is used instead of the optical brain.

This is unthinkable for ancient humans, whose brains could not withstand this kind of computational pressure, but now the genes of new humans have changed dramatically.

Generally speaking, a capital battleship, such as a heavy battleship, has a total of about five thousand people of all kinds it matches. When the battle begins, all of their actions and actions related to the battle will be converted into data by the ship's computer, which will lead to the central command room.

In the central command room is the commander equipped with the C4ISR system, or C4 system for short.

The C4 system is a super combat system that integrates command, control, communications, computing, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance functions.

In ancient human times, the C4 system was usually extremely large as the center of command and battle, but in the new human era, the C4 system can generally be reduced to a round hood, usually built into a military cap.

The commander must constantly input the obtained data into the C4 system through brain waves, and each central processing unit in the system calculates the results they want according to the needs of the commander, and then sends their decisions to all the combatants according to these results, directing them how to fight.

To achieve this, the commander must have a strong ability to adapt to the situation, calculate and instinctively judge the battle situation. And the commander with the higher the strategic index, the more delicate and effective he will be when commanding.

Under normal circumstances, the commander of a heavy battleship can probably only send three hundred to four hundred orders at the same time, which means that at least a dozen people will receive the same order.

But if there really is a person in the universe who has reached seventeen strategic indexes, then his limit will be to send 30,000 commands at the same time. In this case, he can give each fighter a nuanced order, and bring the combat effectiveness of the whole ship to the limit of the ship itself.

In spaceships, humanoid mechs, space fighters, near-ground bombers, and small gunboats are all flying machines that can be piloted by a single person, and what determines its combat effectiveness is not the strategic index, but the combat index, so there is no need for a commander.

The lowest-ranking commander, who is the commander who commands the frigate, requires a minimum strategic index, above three.

"Please, I know all of that."

Mo Cheng muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, because he knew that the Hidden Dragon would definitely teach him a longer lesson, so he could only endure it and get to the point quickly with the chessboard Hidden Dragon.

Like everything else, the C4 system has a total of ten levels: G, F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, and SSS.

The C4 system, which is higher than or equal to the C level, is also known as the flagship core.

Because any warship, as long as it is equipped with a flagship core, then it will immediately change from an ordinary warship to a flagship.

The commander of the flagship is not the combatants of the ships, but the commanders of the ships. The commander of each ship will use his own brain waves, his judgment of his own ship, and all the instructions he makes to the communication device, and the communication device will translate this brain wave into a program and continuously send it to the flagship core.

After receiving all kinds of data from the commanders of each ship, the flagship core will directly convert them into brain waves and send them to the commander-in-chief. After receiving the data, the commander-in-chief quickly sorts them and sends them to the flagship's computers for calculations, and after the results are calculated, they are sent to the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief will immediately send orders to the commanders of the ships so that they understand their combat mission. ”

The biggest difference between the flagship core and the ordinary C4 system is that the data that the flagship core and the commander-in-chief need to calculate, under normal circumstances, are dozens or hundreds of times that of the ship commander.

And if you command too many ships, this number may even have to be multiplied by tens or even hundreds of times.

This number of calculations is definitely not something that the average commander and their C4 system can withstand.

If the coordination of the ordinary C4 system and the commander is good enough, then the battle between ships of the same level, one to five, is a normal ratio.

And if the cooperation between the flagship core and the commander reaches a perfect level, then the best record of the fleet under the same strength is one to fifty.

"One to fifty, is it really possible to achieve this comparison?"

Hearing this, Mo Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

"In the 763rd year of the Alpha calendar, in the Alpas system, the 'Black Knight' von Goderemann, with a reserve of 100,000 heavy cruisers, withstood the onslaught of the main force of the famous general Mavili's 600,000 heavy battleships for up to three months. As a result, this force, which was enough to determine the occupation of the main battlefield, could not join the 'White Orchid Battle' that determined the ownership of the universe at that time. At that time, Goldeman used 'tearful mercy'. ”

"Teacher, what does 'tearful compassion' look like?"

"Legend has it that, unlike the average flagship, 'Tearful Mercy' is a cross necklace."

As far as the flagship is concerned, the most important thing is two things, one is the central cluster processor with super computing power, and the other is enough energy to support the high-speed operation of this cluster processor.

The first requirement for a CPU may be easier to understand, while the second condition is likely to confuse many people who are not very tech-savvy.

In fact, the second thing is probably even more difficult to do than the first. The reason is simple, a flagship has to receive all kinds of data on each ship, including the situation of the combat crew, the status of various parameters of the ship, the command status of the commander, etc., and at the same time analyze the situation of each ship of the enemy. All these parameters will be summed up into an infinite number of parameters, which will be combined and calculated in a very short time and reacted as quickly as possible.

And the need for such a fast calculation must consume a huge amount of energy, and this ultra-high burst of energy demand is not supported by ordinary energy.

At present, the highest level of military energy is self-excitation energy, which is a highly compressed planetary energy.

If we fully unleash the power of this energy, we can turn a meteorite with a diameter of 500 meters into atoms in an instant.

According to legend, the energy used in 'Tearful Compassion' is an even more incredible black hole energy.

"Can a black hole do?" Mo Cheng was really stunned this time, "Someone can actually compress a black hole into a controllable energy source?" ”

In the universe, those super-large stars will survive for many years before they can no longer bear their terrible weight and collapse into black holes. Black holes are the supreme force in this universe. It is impossible for anything to escape a black hole, as long as it encounters a black hole, then there is always only one way, and that is to be devoured, even if it is light. It can be said that even the universe itself cannot control black holes, and it is impossible to imagine that there will be someone who can control black holes and make them a stable energy.

"Yes, I also used to think this is nonsense, the mass of a black hole is amazing, even if it is the size of a necklace pendant, it is likely to be as heavy as an asteroid, how can it be worn around the neck? But the legend says so. The horizontal bar of the cross necklace is its unrivaled central processing unit, and the vertical bar is the most terrifying black hole energy in the universe. However, I have seen firsthand the pomp and circumstance of Goldemann using 'tearful mercy' in his prime...... If, after killing Emperor Lucifer, Godriman used 'Tearful Mercy', then it is likely that the thirteen princes of the coalition were bombarded into space dust by the particle cannonades......"

When Suldans said this, he let out a long sigh with some sighs, shook his head lightly, and did not say any more.

"Grandma, you won't ...... with Godriman"

"I don't know him......"

Before he could finish speaking, Suldan immediately spoke.

Seeing that Surdan was so excited, Mo Cheng quickly closed his mouth and thought to himself, "There must be something to do with it." ”

"Do you know where the 'Mercy with Tears' is now?"

After calming down a little, Suldan asked.

Mer knew that Suldan's question would not come out of nowhere, so he immediately looked at Suldan's with wide eyes with great interest.

"'Tearful Mercy' is now collected by the Pan-Star Conference in the headquarters of the conference, but it is an empty shell of 'Tearful Mercy', because the flagship core of 'Tearful Mercy' is no longer on that ship."

Suldan, who said this, sat in silence for a long time, and after a long time, he slowly sat up straight, and then stretched his hand into his coat.

A pocket watch sits on the table, an antique pocket watch that was originally produced in the early 20th century by a Swiss master at the time.

The bracelet of this pocket watch was made from white gold, a precious metal of the time, and the watchmakers used their imagination to wrap around the surface in the shape of leaf-shaped diamonds, and the black silk strap that was extremely popular at the time, creating a sense of nature, romance and mystery.

Even after thousands of years, when this pocket watch appeared in this corner of the new universe, it was still ticking and ticking accurately.

"This is 'mercy with tears.'"

Hearing Surdan's words, Mo Cheng almost instinctively wanted to ask, "How is the 'tearful mercy' in your hands?" ”

But in the end, Mo Cheng still didn't have the courage to ask such words, "'Tearful mercy', isn't it a cross necklace?" How did it become a pocket watch again? ”

As soon as Mo Cheng finished speaking, the glass surface of this pocket watch suddenly opened, and a blue three-dimensional image suddenly grew from inside like a tree growing in an instant.

This image turned out to be a woman, a beautiful woman, no matter what point of view, appearance, temperament, figure, charm, she has reached the most perfect state of human beings.

So much so that she was just an illusory image, but it still made Mo Cheng feel a little lost in an instant.

"This ...... It's ......"

"In the whole universe, only she knows the whereabouts of 'Tearful Mercy'."

"How do I know so that she can tell me where the 'tearful mercy' is?"

"This pocket watch has a special device that recognizes everyone's genes. When you put the watch on your hand and turn on the starter. This woman, in fact, is an intelligent system that will be turned on. Then, it will constantly give you all kinds of tests and tasks. After each test and task you complete, she'll show you a progress bar. When the progress bar reaches 100 percent, she will tell you the whereabouts of 'Tearful Mercy'. ”

"Grandma, I'd love to know, how much have you accomplished?"

"Sixty percent."

This data shocked Mo Cheng, and it also prompted him to think and weigh it seriously.

"Are you sure I can make that progress bar 100 percent?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm looking forward to you."

Mo Cheng raised his head, looking at this perfect virtual woman lying in the void with great eagerness, and couldn't help but mutter, "It would be nice if it were a real person." ”

"Bastard ......"

When he saw Mo Cheng's expression, Suldan's sudden outburst of thunder.

Mo Cheng didn't understand why Suldans was so angry, so he quickly shrank his head and didn't say a word.

"I've already arranged a transport ship, in an hour, the ship will be coming, I've already packed your things for you, it's time for you to go out into the world."

"Grandma, I'm ......"

"Don't be wrong, I didn't make this decision because you provoked me, but because there was another reason."

Suldan said, throwing him a pile of printed papers, which were printed with dense data.

Mo Cheng picked up the pile of papers, and after browsing through them, he asked a little strangely, "How much does high-compression food import?" Grandma, what do you want this data for? ”

Just when Mo Cheng felt inexplicable, Surdan suddenly said something that seemed to have nothing to do with this, "Mo Cheng, what do you think of the current universe?" ”

"There is no doubt that troubled times are coming."

Mo Cheng said without thinking about it.

"How long do you think it will take for the world to be in chaos from today?"

"Although the original 'Black Knights' rebellion was short, the war was unprecedentedly fierce. And when it came to the center, the thirteen princes and kings were not prepared, but they just brought their own personal guards to the king, and everyone was on the front line. Although the princes and kings will have all kinds of protection when they are in the battle array, but when the situation was rushed and the war was in full swing, it would be false for the princes and kings to say that they were not affected by various rays. For hundreds of years, half of the princes and kings have passed away, which is proof, and I don't think the remaining princes and kings will survive for a few years. The princes and kings are not restricted by the "Interstellar Succession Law", and they all inherit according to the primogeniture inheritance law. Although this method is peaceful, and after all, there is a good genetic inheritance, and it is not far behind. But the problem is that in today's world, what is needed to sit in such a high position is not just as simple as being strong, but also being top-notch. Judging by such standards, these new princes and kings may not even have a qualified one, but there is no lack of genius among their brothers and sisters, plus there are so many cases of father and son killing each other in the universe, I believe that it will not be long before someone will be unable to bear loneliness. At that time, the world will be in chaos. In this way, if I guess correctly, it will take ten years for the world to start chaotic, and it will take about thirty years for the world to completely collapse. ”

Over the years, while learning from himself, he has also been constantly understanding the general trend of the universe, so when he heard Surdan's question, he immediately started talking.

However, who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Suldan's sigh softly, "With your cleverness, if you had stayed in the civilian circle for a while longer, you probably wouldn't have thought like this." ”

Mo Cheng listened intently.

"There are already signs of turmoil in the upper echelons of our mega-society, and this person of insight at the top knows that everyone is also preparing. But they don't know that the turmoil at the bottom of our super-society is more terrible than the turmoil at the top. ”

"Grandma is talking about civilians?" Mo Cheng shook his head disappreciatively, "The quality of the civilians themselves is extremely limited, and the knowledge and technology they can access are also very limited, basically staying in the era of ancient earth civilization. Although since the Alpha Universe, civilian uprisings have occurred one after another, but none of them have ever been able to set off any major storms. The world today is different from the world of ancient civilizations, and the differences between people are too far from those of that time. According to the ultra-geneticists, it is already possible to divide even two very different animals. I don't think they're enough to change the universe. ”

"You're right, but you have to know that there is a thing in this world called a genetic mutation, and aren't you yourself the product of a genetic mutation? The chance of such a genetic mutation is about 1 in 400 million. Since the establishment of the ruling power of the Pan-Star Conference, the population has exploded, and the population of the whole universe has far exceeded 10 trillion, which means that there are at least 2.5 million genetic mutants in the whole universe, and the number of people who can reach a considerable level among them is not less than 10,000. You can check the status promotion record of the Pan-Star Conference yourself, and how many people have been promoted from civilian status to elite status, and have gained legal access to all kinds of high-level knowledge? There are only about 300 people. This means that there are more than 10,000 people of considerable caliber who are living in the civilian circle. ”

"In addition to these, there is also the most terrifying existence, that is, the most amazing one in the genetic mutation, the 'Sky Breaker'. Their genetic level and genetic characteristics can be improved or changed depending on their environment and their own efforts. Legend has it that given enough opportunity and time, the Skybreaker can even reach the highest level in five levels: strategy, tactics, technique, craftsmanship and charm. The chance of the 'Skybreaker' appearing is less than 1 in a billion, and there are only 22 'Skybreakers' in the entire universe, of which thirteen are recruited by the princes and kings of the Pan-Star Conference, and the other nine are wandering around the universe. ”

Speaking of which, Suldans looked at Mo Cheng and found that he had missed one, "It's not nine, it's already ten." ”

"If anyone can really take over all the strong among these civilians, then he can naturally achieve hegemony. But the universe is vast, these people are divided into one hundred and eight interstellar administrative regions, some are pirates, some are hermits, to collect these people, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, how easy is it? ”

Although it was Suldan's words, Mo Cheng felt that the loophole was still too big, so he argued.

"Going to look for them one by one, naturally exhausting to death, but how do you know they won't get together on their own?"

"Get them together? Just a civilian uprising? ”

"No, the people who can roll up the whirlwind of the universe will not be civilians, although they have suffered discrimination, they can still get by. Only someone who has nothing, nothing to lose but pain, is enough to set off a cosmic storm that changes everything. ”

"You mean...... Clones? When Mo Cheng said this, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes widened, "You checked the import volume of high-compressed food in the fifty-fourth interstellar, is it also related to this?" But...... What does this have to do with the Clone Rebellion? ”

The nutritional value of high-compression foods is very high, but because it is a completely genetically modified food, and the taste is extremely poor, it is the same, mainly for clones to eat.

"I have a bit of a relationship with Wang Er."

"Wang? Wang Er, the father of cosmic technology? ”

When it comes to Wang Er, it is really as good as a rhinoceros, and modern cosmic technology is extremely complex, and any branch of technology is enough for people to study for thousands of years. However, this boss actually studied 16 of the 18 major technologies in the universe to the level of S level or above, and was known as the last all-round science and technology master in human history.

He is currently the chairman of the Science and Technology Management Center of the Pan-Star Conference, and is the only chairman of all the departments of the Pan-Star Conference, and this department is also the only department of the Pan-Star Conference that fully enjoys the reading power budget and is not subject to any financial supervision.

"Wang Er once inadvertently mentioned to me that he was planning to work on a major project called the 'Quantum Computer Coordination Center', and according to him, once this project is completed, the number of clones in the universe will only need to be five percent of the current population at most. You know, in order to control civilian access to modern technology, all human infrastructure, and the production of various military products, the Admirals almost exclusively use fifty-year-old clones. ”

The term "50-year-old clone" means that the clone was created at the age of 30, and the first 20 years are spent growing up and receiving the necessary training to do his job, and then he will work for 30 years. Thirty years later, the body naturally ages and dies.

Speaking of this, Mo Cheng looked up at Lao Biao and asked seriously: "Assuming that this plan is really completed, then what should we do with the remaining ninety-five percent of the clones?" ”

At this time, Mo Cheng completely understood, "The fifty-fourth interstellar is the location of the headquarters of the Pan-Star Conference, and the residence of the thirteen princes and kings is also there. It is the place where the universe is most technologically advanced, economic, and military, and it is also the most well-informed place. Since your teacher can hear the news, then those princes and kings must also know the news. Therefore, it is likely that they will begin to gradually reduce the number of clones in advance, so as not to bring about a drastic change in the surnames of the cloned groups at that time. As a result, the import of highly compressed food products intended for the consumption of cloned human beings would be reduced. ”

After quickly saying this, Mo Cheng couldn't help but clasp his hands together, "The import volume is almost twenty percent lower than it was forty years ago. ”

You know, in the past forty years, the human world has been expanding wildly, and countless blank planets are occupying, under such a premise, the clone population of the fifty-fourth star has decreased by twenty percent, what this means, it is already very clear.

Mo Cheng asked again: "Grandma, how far do you think the plan of the Quantum Computer Coordination Center has progressed?" ”

Surdan shook his head and said, "You should ask, how long has this plan been completed......

Hearing Surdan's words, Mo Cheng's eyes first widened, and then he nodded slowly, looking at the ground seriously.

After a while, Mo Cheng asked again, "Grandma, do you think that the Pan-Star Conference can solve this problem very well?" ”

"The Pan-Star Conference is just a spoil-sharing organization, it does not have much cohesion, and in the face of major changes, the role of this institution can only be negative. So I don't think it's possible for them to solve this problem satisfactorily, but more importantly, I believe that there must be a lot of people within it who don't want this problem to be solved satisfactorily. Otherwise, how could there be an alliance like the Doomsday Twilight Alliance? ”

"Grandma, you're saying that someone would deliberately leak this information to the clones?"

Mo Cheng turned his face and looked at Suldan, who said nonchalantly, "If it were me, I would probably do it." ”

Mo Cheng raised his head, his left hand was on his lap and his right hand wanted to be clenched into a fist, but when he was halfway pinched, he let go again, "Grandma, in your opinion, I still have a few years?" ”

"How many years?" Surdan stretched out his hand and patted Mo Cheng's thick shoulder, "Mo Cheng, as a person who wants to rise in troubled times, shouldn't you be as optimistic as you. From now on, the time you have will probably only be measured in days. ”

"Grandma, what do you want me to do?"

"No, you're wrong, you shouldn't ask us that, you should ask yourself. However, I personally believe that no matter what you want in the future, the first priority is to have your own strength, otherwise everything is empty talk. ”

Surdan said, handing Mer City a credit card, "Hidden Dragon has a sum of money in Morton Bank, you can take it, the money is not much, I hope it can help you." ”

At this time, there was no polite person, and Mo Cheng reached out and took the credit card.

"As for the intelligent system of this pocket watch, I have turned it on for you, you can take a look at this watch."

Mo Cheng held the pocket watch in his hand and saw a scale with zero progress appear on the surface.

"This intelligent system has been activated, and it will test you at the right time, at its own choice, and when you pass all its tests and get the scale to 100 percent, you can get 'tearful compassion.'"

Mo Cheng nodded, still sitting in place.

"The transport ship is coming, you go back to your room and see if there is anything else to take, and get ready to go. When the hidden dragon goes to the ecological park, you don't have to say goodbye to him, he never likes to say goodbye. ”

"Grandma, I'm leaving, I don't know when I'll see you again, do you have anything else you want to give me?"

At this moment, everything is in a hurry, and it would be too sissy to procrastinate, so Mo Cheng did not procrastinate, but asked.

"Remember, as soon as you step out of this planet, you have to be prepared that your every word and action will be under the watchful eye of others. Therefore, don't think that there is any action or sentence that can escape surveillance, but know how to hide yourself. ”

"I know, I'll know how to protect myself, what? Grandmother. ”

"Go find a woman to love, it's good for you."

Sitting cross-legged, as if after much thought, Suldans said.

――――――――-―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― self-excited energy is a pure energy crystal formed by repeated compression, refining and crystallization of high-purity Abolon ore. As a raw material, the Abron ore has been proven to be of only tens of thousands of planets in the whole universe, and the high-purity Aberon ore is only a few hundred, compared with the hundreds of millions of stars in the Alpha Universe, it is just a drop in the ocean.

Although human beings have mastered the refining technology, due to the extreme complexity of this technology, the cost of the equipment itself is also astronomical, and only a few core members of the powerful alliance can actually have the refining equipment.

The total amount of a self-excited energy source is only ten grams, which is equivalent to the size of a one-dollar coin, but the energy contained in it is equivalent to 10,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity in the ancient earth era. And clean: no radiation, no pollution in use; Stable: It will not lose energy without use, and at the same time, it is harder than diamond, resistant to high temperature, high pressure and corrosion. It is the best energy source that can be produced on a large scale in the hands of human beings.

Therefore, self-energizing energy has naturally become the most important strategic material for the major alliances, and they are all competing to hoard it. Because of the special surname of self-energizing energy, it has become a hard currency that is stronger than Star Coins, and has been called "Energy Coins". However, it is rarely circulated in the market.

-- "History of the Alpha Universe and Energy"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

January 3, 1557 in the Alpha calendar, the planet "Blood Red Pearl".

The "Blood Red Pearl" planet is located in the thirty-second administrative system designated by the Interstellar Assembly, its number is K3418, and the current owner is the Admiral of the Sealed Heart, which is said to be a resentful woman with a hot surname and resentment.

Admiral Sealed Heart is an important member of the Locust Interstellar Trade Alliance, with a total of more than fifty manned planets and a total population of more than five billion, and her home planet is called "Nemesis", numbered K2016, near the capital of the Locust Interstellar Trade Alliance.

The Scarlet Orb is home to three extremely rare, high-purity Abron veins, and is the only planet in the Sealed Heart that has a self-excitation energy device.

The unique conditions of the "Blood Red Pearl" have made it the largest financial center in the 32nd administrative district.

As soon as he left the spaceport, Mo Cheng slammed into someone.

Mo Cheng looked up and saw that what he had bumped into was a strong man who was a head taller than him, wearing a bath-baring suspender and a pair of inferior sunglasses.

When Mo Cheng was about to say sorry, he saw this gentleman with his hands folded in front of his chest, his chin raised, and his eyes looking down at him at a 45-degree angle, and asked, "Do you have five hundred yuan on you?" ”

"I have long seen on the Internet that people often pretend to be refugees and pay money at the spaceport, and it turns out to be true."

Thinking so, Mo Cheng smiled at him kindly and shrugged his shoulders, and walked around, wanting to walk away.

The strong man took a step sideways, blocked Mo Cheng, stretched out the giant palm in front of Mo Cheng's eyes and clenched it tightly, and continued to ask, "Do you have five hundred yuan on you?" ”

Because it was the first time to be involved in the world, Mo Cheng didn't react for a while, but after a while, Mo Cheng suddenly understood, and he suddenly pointed at the strong man, "Oh, you blackmail me." ”

After understanding the situation clearly, react as quickly as possible, this is the concept that Mo Cheng has been instilled from childhood to adulthood.

And at this time, out of the instinct of years of training, Mo Cheng immediately quickly stepped back, and then took out a pistol from his waist and shot it at the strong man's thigh.

With a loud "bang", the strong man screamed and fell to the ground.

"You...... How do you have a gun? ”

Lying on the ground, although he was far from dying, this strong man had a feeling of death, and looked at Mo Cheng with his hands and legs on his face.

As a normal person, his suspicion is understandable.

In accordance with the safety regulations of the Pan-Star Congress, no civilians are allowed to carry firearms.

However, according to the safety regulations, the firearms that cannot be carried are the so-called lethal guns, that is, military firearms such as laser guns and particle guns.

The metal fire yao guns belonging to the ancient human era are not prohibited.

The reason is very simple, the genes of the new humans have been greatly improved compared to the ancient humans in the past, and the attack power of the metal fire gun does not pose a threat even to the ordinary soldiers who are genetically strengthened, and it is naturally even more ineffective to those elites who are high up.

However, although the metal fire gun cannot harm the military and the elites who are more powerful than the military, the threat gene level is not high enough, and the civilians who are not trained and studied enough are indeed enough.

The gun was put in his luggage by the hidden dragon, and Mo Cheng had already understood these rules, so he didn't hesitate at all when he started it.

After firing a shot, Mo Cheng walked away.

The strong man was sitting on the ground with his legs folded, and when he was sighing to himself for his bad luck, he suddenly saw Mo Cheng walking back again, and he was still holding the ...... No way? It's clearly a door.

The strong man turned his head again and saw the entrance of a small clinic ten meters away, and the nurse was standing in a daze at the door of the store with half of the door demolished.

A great sense of foreboding came over him, and the strong man's instinct told him that it was better for him to run away quickly.

He wanted to do it too, but the problem was that he couldn't move one of his legs at all.

And the next scene, how tragic it is, there is no need to describe it.

A strong man of more than two meters, holding his head in his hands, curled up on the ground, was beaten by an expressionless guy, holding half of the door panel of the clinic for almost half an hour, so that the people next to him thought that they had a revenge for killing their father.

"What the hell is going on in this world? The security is so bad that he is still being blackmailed in the space port. What a ......."

Exhausted and out of breath, Mo Cheng threw aside the deformed alloy door panel and shook his head.

Originally, it was Mo Cheng who was blackmailed, and he should have been justified. But when the onlookers knew that this poor beaten and bloodied man just wanted to extort 500 yuan, they all showed sympathetic expressions, just for 500 yuan to be beaten like this.

"It's desolate."

"yes, how did you encounter this pervert?"

"It's crazy."

"Could it be that you are crazy?"

Remarks like this kept stuffing into Mo Cheng's ears, and Mo Cheng looked at him casually, and found that all the people looked at him with a little disdain.

At the beginning, Mo Cheng could barely bear it, but as more and more people came, there were almost 500 people around the spaceport pointing and pointing, Mo Cheng really couldn't bear it, so he could only carry the giant man to the clinic next to him in the eyes of everyone.

As a result, it didn't matter if he went, and as soon as he entered the clinic, Mocheng's intestines were repentant.

It turned out that this strong man was called a crazy man, and he was a standard broken household, and he hadn't paid social security premiums for 16 years, and he only had less than 100 yuan on his body, so that Mocheng had to pay him for medical expenses.

"Please repeat, I want to determine the amount of medical expenses." Mo Cheng glared at Miss Nurse with a blue face.

The nurse handed over the bill to Mo Cheng with a frightened face, for fear that he would remove the other side of the door.

"The surgery fee, plus the recovery injections, and the recovery nutrients, plus the service fee, plus the maintenance fee for half of the store, is a total of 163,400 Star Coins."

"Then you can dismantle that guy inside, I don't know him."

Having said that, Mo Cheng still reluctantly reported his universal universe account, and then through the double scanning of DNA and pupils, the 163,400 Star Coins disappeared out of thin air.

In the "Utopia Farm", Mocheng can be said to have no worries about food and clothing, and naturally does not care about money. Even when he was in an online casino, he was a high-roller who spent a lot of money, but after all, it was a virtual online world, and he didn't use his own star coins, which was a sense of unreality for Mocheng, just like swiping a card and paying cash, and the psychological feeling was still different.

Just arrived at the port, and before he even figured out what the air tasted like, he actually lost half of his net worth, and Mo Cheng's mood obviously couldn't be described as happy.

As soon as Mo Cheng, who looked gloomy, walked to the door of the clinic, a tall man chased him out of the clinic and blocked him.

"I'll pay you back the 160,000." Without waiting for Mo Cheng to speak, he immediately said with a sincere face.

Originally, he planned to pull the public opinion and force him to pay back the money, but now seeing him like this, Mo Cheng lost this interest.

"I saw your credit history just now, as a person who hasn't even paid social security premiums for 16 years, what are you going to pay me back? Alas, forget it, I was confused for a while, and if I knew this, I might as well give you five hundred yuan...... Alas, forget it, it's useless to talk about it now, you go. ”

Mo Cheng waved his hand weakly and said with a depressed face.

"This gentleman, don't be like this, I'm not very smart, and my genetic level is not high, only level six, but my combat index is good, almost five. If it weren't for the lack of connections, I would have gone to the army a long time ago. Take me, sir, and do whatever you want me to do until I pay off your medical bills." ”

When Mo Cheng heard this, he was a little stunned, he took two steps away, looked up and down, then nodded, and asked with a smile: "What can you do?" That...... Do you do that? ”

Crazy Jieyu thought about it very seriously, gritted his teeth with a sad face, and nodded, ", however, I only accept female guests." ”

Mo Cheng was happy and said with a smile: "You are a wonderful person." ”

"The Scarlet Pearl", Third Alien Ecological Base, Fourth Street, 888, Moreton Bank Headquarters.

Half an hour later, when Mer City and Crazy Receiver appeared at the door of this magnificent building, they happened to see a man in overalls directing a robot to remove the signboard of Morton Bank.

This made Mo Cheng surprised and uneasy at the same time.

"What's going on? What happened to Morton Bank? Is it updating the signboard? ”

"Obviously, it went out of business." The man in overalls said to Mo Cheng as he watched the robot dismantle the last bracket and load it into the car.

"Going out of business? When did this happen? Mo Cheng grabbed the worker's hand hard and asked.

"It must have been an hour ago, and the bankruptcy officer had just taken away the signed documents."

In the broad session, Mo Cheng also dabbled a little in business, but it was all superficial and not too in-depth, so he didn't know many of the details, "What about my deposit?" Will the Morton Bank bankruptcy affect my deposits? ”

"Of course, Morton Bank went bankrupt completely. Before going bankrupt, they had made a public declaration for three full years, and all creditors who did not participate in the division of assets during these three years were deemed to have voluntarily renounced. As a result, Moreton Bank now does not have to be liable to any creditors, including depositors. ”

After speaking, the worker shrugged, got on the engineering truck and left, leaving Mocheng wooden standing in place, and there was no movement for a long time.

Madness stood aside in embarrassment, and said cautiously: "I didn't expect your money to be deposited in Morton Bank." Maybe there's still room for turnaround, and we can think of another way. ”

Even the crazy receiver himself didn't expect that his clumsy words of comfort actually made Mo Cheng react.

"The first time I went out, I first encountered blackmail, and inexplicably lost half of my net worth, and then even the bank where the teacher kept money collapsed, am I possessed by the god of decay?"

Mo Cheng's eyes unconsciously drifted on the crazy Jieyu, and he saw that the crazy Jieyu's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly said: "The president of Morton Bank is called Lao Biao, and I know he is there. Why don't we go to him, anyway, we always save money, and even if we can't get it back, we have to take back a little bit. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly pulled Mo Cheng into a taxi shuttle, trying to ignore Mo Cheng's burning gaze......

After spending more than half an hour, the rental shuttle stopped at a small bar next to the central square of the First Alien Ecological Base.

"No, this person is the former president of Moreton Bank, Lao Biao."

Mo Cheng looked in the direction pointed by the mad receiver, and saw a huge, unshaven beard, naked with a blue apron printed with Garfield's pattern, wearing slippers, lying on the bar with a straw in a posture that everyone hated to see, but was really envious.

"Are you sure this person is the former president of Morton Bank?"

In addition to the fact that it is hard to imagine that a man in such obscene clothes was once the president of a former bank, as the president of the largest bank in the 32nd administrative system, this guy looks too young, right?

Finally diverted Mo Cheng's scorching gaze like a hell's flames, feeling that his life had never been so easy, he secretly spit out a mouthful of turbid air that had been held for a long time and said, "Don't you feel too young?" I think so, too, this guy is only eighty-one years old. He founded Morton Bank at the age of twenty-one, built a street bank into the largest bank in the thirty-second galaxy at the age of sixty-one, and then single-handedly defeated it, which is really good. ”

The words of the frenzied public opinion made Mo Cheng turn his face and look at him: "You know him very well?" ”

"His real name is Biao Wenner Morton, but because of his fierce life, everyone now calls him 'Old Biao'. He is a household name on our planet, and newspapers, magazines, radio, and television have been reporting on him at length for three years. He's been here every day since Morton Bank cleared its assets two months ago, otherwise I wouldn't have known he'd been here. Crazy Jieyu lowered his head and looked at Mo Cheng and asked, "By the way, Morton Bank notified depositors to withdraw deposits three years ago, why are you here now?" ”

"What my teacher gave me here, the planet we live in is not very developed." The hidden dragon didn't care about these things outside his body, and he didn't care about trivial things like the collapse of the bank, and he thought that this credit card was also remembered when he was leaving, and he gave it to himself by the way. Mo Cheng didn't want to talk more about his own affairs, and asked curiously: "Since this guy can start from scratch, he naturally has some skills, how can he be so downcast?" ”

"I don't know, I heard that it seems to be because of the relationship with the 'fat pig'."

"'Fat Pig' Leyan?" Mo Cheng frowned, and the fat man with a harmless smile like a livestock came to mind.

"I don't know, but it's the homepage of the news channel that is often on various websites, and the legend is that he is the richest man in the universe. Because of his fat body, he was called a 'fat pig'. "I thought that Mo Cheng didn't know him, so I introduced the news I knew a little.

"Oh......" Mo Cheng didn't want to explain that he knew Le Yan, and got out of the car and walked towards the small bar.
