Chapter 7: Integrating the Pirate Galaxy
On each planet of the pirate galaxy, the humans who were used as slaves gathered in dozens of piles under the whip of robots, and dozens of huge ships hovered above each pile.
All the people looked at the dozens of spaceships above them with trepidation, they didn't know what these robots were trying to do when they gathered everyone, it wasn't going to be a mass killing, right?
Thinking of this, everyone's faces changed, but because they couldn't be sure whether this thing was true, in order not to waste their lives because of misunderstanding, everyone didn't resist, and they all waited and watched.
After the crowd gathered, the spaceship in the sky landed and landed, and thousands of robots carried a batch of goods from the spaceship, and the fragrance wafting from the air made everyone swallow their saliva because it was the smell of delicious food.
The aroma is very tempting for people who eat very small amounts of artificial food and do not have enough to eat for a day.
If it weren't for the fear of being killed by the robot on the spot, I am afraid that I would have swarmed to grab those foods.
Then a few more ships lowered the thousands of computer cabins, and when they saw these things, people were stunned for a moment, wondering how to make this thing.
When everything was ready, a loud voice came from the sky: "Listen, everyone, our Supreme Commander will select talent from among you."
"Whoever is chosen, if he is willing to be a member of the Supreme Commander's people, and swears eternal allegiance to the Supreme Commander, then he and his family will be free and enjoy the same treatment as only a high-ranking officer, that is, a house, a car, wine, and good food!
"As for those who are not chosen, don't worry, as long as you have a skill, can serve the Supreme Commander, and are willing to become the Supreme Commander's people, and swear eternal allegiance to the Supreme Commander, then you will also be able to enjoy the life you used to have! As for those who are powerless, they will continue to be slaves, serving the people of the Supreme Commander! ”
The people below were all stunned when they heard this, is it really fake? Is there such a good thing? They didn't care much about the fact that the incompetent people would continue to be slaves, after all, they didn't believe that they were incompetent, and even if they couldn't become talents, then how could they be regarded as having a skill in some area, right?
During this period of slave life, they all longed to live the life before, as long as the material was abundant, freedom or not was not considered.
Under the example of experiencing the ineffectiveness of their peers' resistance and the slaughter, they have long lost the heart to resist, and now they all hope that the supreme commander is true, whether the other party is a robot or not is not important in the hearts of these people, the important thing is that they will not live such a slave life again.
Mante is a very scheming middle-aged man, who has used bright and unbright means to get everything he wants, such as the position of student president in college, the position of general manager of the company, and now his wife, life can be described as smooth sailing.
Originally, he was a little lamenting that he was overkill, and he could only spend his life in a small circle, but he didn't expect to encounter a robot attack, let alone that these robots would use the people of the entire planet as slaves.
In the face of this fate, Mante did not give up the struggle, of course, he was not stupid enough to resist, idiots would resist the heavily armed robots with their bare hands.
He used his scheming and relatively strong body to let his family survive with him in this place where people died every day, unlike some families that have long been torn apart.
Mante heard the robot's speech, although he was also skeptical, after all, no one knew what the robot was really trying to do, but he still decided to take a gamble, so while the robot was still repeating the speech, he and his family squeezed to the front of the crowd.
When the robot started urging people to get into the computer cabin and the others dodged, he was the first to enter the computer room with his family.
As Mante stepped out of the computer cabin, a metal robot stepped forward and said politely, "Congratulations, sir, you have been selected, you can take your family to choose whether to freshen up or eat first." With a wave of his hand, several robots came up carrying a table of delicacies, and two huge container trucks drove over.
The cabinet door opened, and one car was filled with various clothes, and the other car was a steaming bathroom.
Seeing that the hideous robots in front of him suddenly became so polite, Mante's heart that had been hanging high finally fell, and it seemed that the leaders of these robots were finally ready to use themselves as humans.
In fact, how can you expand your power by relying on these rigid robots alone, after all, humans in this universe are absolutely dominant.
Mante glanced at his family and found that their eyes were glued to the table of food, and Mante, who knew what his family had chosen, immediately said that he wanted to eat first, after all, he himself was also attracted by this food, and he had long forgotten what the food tasted like.
As Mante's family gulped and gulped down the food, bathed and changed into proper and clean clothes after eating, and then were respectfully led away by the robot on a spaceship, the people who saw this scene immediately threw away their anxiety and were all boiling.
All of them are vying to participate in the talent selection, and if it weren't for the robots to maintain order, I'm afraid these people would be fighting for priority.
Mante looked at the man in front of him who had no hair on his entire head, and was amazed, although the robots next to the man had the appearance of humans, he could still tell at a glance that these big men were robots, because they were too dull.
Originally, Mante thought that the Supreme Commander who controlled these robots was an intelligent robot, or a crazy person with abnormal nerves, because no normal person would fantasize about relying on robots to rule over humans.
But I didn't expect that this supreme commander was not only a sane person, but also a very imposing man who people didn't dare to face up.
Although this supreme commander has no hair on his head, his appearance does not make people feel weird, but makes people feel that he is very oppressive, this oppressive force is really very powerful, and it can actually make his well-informed self tremble his feet non-stop.
Tang Hu shook his wine glass, closed his eyes and tasted it, and then sighed and said, "Yes, it's really good wine, I haven't tasted such a fine wine for many years." ”
Mante was silent when he heard this, for he knew that it was nothing more than the Supreme Commander talking to himself.
Tang Hu glanced at Mante, then looked at the data handed over by his subordinates, nodded and said, "You are very good, in the entire pirate galaxy, your results are the best among so many selected talents." ”
Although Mante was also surprised that he was actually the best selection among the humans in the Pirate Galaxy, he still lowered his head in honor and disgrace and said, "Thank you for your mislove." ”
Tang Hu shook his wine glass again and said: "I value your talent very much, I will tell you the bottom first, my goal is to unify the whole universe, I now have 500,000 fully equipped warships, and the arsenal is producing warships at a rate of four hundred per day, and the machine soldiers are producing at a rate of one million a day."
"This productivity is still because we are in a small place, and when the place expands, it is not a problem to produce tens of thousands of warships. So militarily speaking, even if I don't have good generals, I can defeat all enemies with absolute superiority.
"But I still lack the talent to rule and manage the planets, and I believe you know that it is definitely not a good idea to hand over the planets to these dull robots, are you willing to serve me?"
When Mante heard that Tang Hu's goal was actually to unify the universe, he couldn't help but look at Tang Hu with wide eyes in surprise, wondering if this Tang Hu was too self-righteous?
Did he think there were only tens of thousands of planets in the entire universe? Arrogant enough to unify the entire universe?
When he heard about Tang Hu's military productivity, he was shocked.
400 warships and 1 million robots?
Oh my God, can this backward pirate galaxy be so productive? It's not an exaggeration, is it? Such a productivity can simply be compared with the military industrial productivity of the first country in the universe, Wulai!
After listening to Tang Hu's words, Mante calculated in his heart that if this supreme commander was telling the truth, then the army that relied on robots as soldiers, coupled with strong military industrial productivity, really didn't need to care much about the military, even if the enemy had outstanding generals, he could defeat the enemy with superior forces.
You have a million troops, and you have countless outstanding generals, although I don't have outstanding generals, but I have an endless stream of troops, 10 million troops can't win, I will send 100 million, and all of them are robots who are not afraid of death!
Even if you use any strategy to win for a while, you will eventually lose, because the enemy is swarming like locusts, and any strategy is useless in the face of absolute disparity in strength.
And even if you can afford a warship, you can't afford to spend troops, unless you also use robots.
However, when it comes to the use of robots, I'm afraid that there is no force in the entire universe that has more robots than this supreme commander.
Mante, who had calculated the gains and losses, immediately knelt down to Tang Hu, and said in an unusually respectful tone: "I, Mante, will swear allegiance to the supreme commander to the death!" ”
Tang Hu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, as long as you work hard, you will have any glory and wealth." Those selected talents will be handed over to you to manage, you don't have to take care of the military, you just need to manage the planet wholeheartedly, I ask you to restore the planet of the pirate galaxy in the shortest possible time.
"As for the robots on those planets, you can use them as you like, they are of little use except for their strength and absolute obedience to orders, so use them well."
"Your subordinates will never let you down!" Mante said happily.
With Tang Hu's words, he is equivalent to establishing the status of the second person in the force, and those robots are allowed to be used by himself, which is equivalent to having a large number of powerful subordinates who do not need to pay salaries and absolutely obey orders.
In this way, who is afraid that anyone will dare to come out and question their status?
As for how he could be so easily loyal to the guys who had enslaved him?
Please, this year is a mother, I don't want to die and I want to live a good life, I don't want to work for a strong person, who are I going to serve?
With the allegiance of Mante and others to Tang Hu, the planet of the Pirate Galaxy began to slowly return to its original stable state of civilization.
The vast majority of the people, who were finally freed from slavery, began to live with peace of mind under the management of the New Deal.
Most of them did not think of rebelling, because they had experienced the life of slaves and cherished this hard-won free life.
And now that I have food and shelter, it's just that I have one more object of allegiance than before, what's the big deal?
Who would rebel because of one more object of allegiance, not to mention the existence of countless armed robots on the planet, the decree that all rebels will be reduced to slaves will discourage everyone, because that is not the life of a human being.
At the Star Presidential Palace, the capital of the Wanluo Federation, Chen Yu asked a middle-aged man, "All the generals of the army have expressed their willingness to obey the orders of the Presidential Palace?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Excellency President, since the generals have lost confidence in Tang Long, they understand that only Your Excellency is the supreme commander of the Wanluo Federation, so they have all decided to obey the orders of Your Excellency the President. ”
"Really? Hehe, it seems that Tang Long has a headache this time, and he doesn't know how he did it, as a high-ranking person, he is actually willing to accept the court's questioning, doesn't he know that doing so will make him lose his authority? Chen Yu smiled and took out a cigar.
After the middle-aged man lit the fire for Chen Yu, he said, "He is too young to have no experience in this kind of thing." ”
Chen Yu swallowed his cigarette and said, "As long as the army is willing to support me, then I don't need to look at the eyes of Tang Long, the marshal." ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly whispered: "Since this is the case, then should we ......" said and made a neck cutting motion.
Chen Yu shook his head: "No, Tang Long, who has lost his army, is just an ordinary young man, and he still has thousands of Moby Whale warships, we can't punish him."
"Also, let your people stop fanning the flames, after all, our economy and military industry must rely on the help of Datang businessmen, so as not to make Tang Long unable to step down, and get angry and withdraw all the aid."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man said a little cautiously: "Well, Your Excellency, those things that fanned the flames were done by Lin Nan. ”
"Lin Nan?" Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, but soon said in a cold tone: "Hmph! Thinking about sitting in my seat all day and letting your people trip him, I don't want him to have such a good time. ”
The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly and said, "Obey." ”
"Bear with me, since they are disobedient, we shouldn't care too much, yes, don't punish them, the situation is not right now, don't cause any trouble."
Liu Sihao hung up the communication, sighed deeply, and began to pace back and forth in his office.
Liu Sihao felt that he was very sad now, because Tang Long's reputation was so bad that he couldn't stink anymore, and the people in the army vaguely didn't obey orders.
At the beginning, Liu Sihao was secretly happy with schadenfreude, but when he saw that his subordinates also violated his yang and yin, he realized that the mark of Tang Long imprinted on his body was impossible to wash away, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was Tang Long's sworn friend.
Now it's not just me, but also my cronies who have been sent out, including Chen Yi and Li Lijun, have called to complain to him.
"! You complain to me, to whom do I complain? Damn Tang Long, how can you make these things out without dying? I want you to be finished, but I don't want you to be finished when I'm still in my fledglings, aren't you amazing? How can you not even solve such a trivial matter? Liu Sihao, who was in an irritable mood, couldn't help muttering to himself.
Just as Liu Sihao was walking around the room, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Sihao, who was in a bad mood, turned his head and shouted, "Come in!" ”
A colonel came in and saluted: "Your Excellency, there are five soldiers outside wearing blue military uniforms and having a pass from the Marshal's Mansion who want to see you, I wonder if you are going to meet them?" ”
"Blue uniform?" Liu Sihao was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses that Datang's military uniform was blue, and hurriedly said, "Quick, invite them in." With that, he began to tidy up his appearance.
The school officer glanced at Liu Sihao, who was tidying up his clothes, the other party was just a few small soldiers, why did his general seem to attach great importance to it, was it because of the relationship between the Marshal's Mansion? Is the general still ready to lean on the mountain of the Marshal's Palace? Didn't he know that the mountain was about to collapse?
Although he was a little unimpressed, he still carried out Liu Sihao's order.
Liu Sihao saw five soldiers wearing Datang military uniforms walking in, and looked at their ranks at first glance, and found that the most senior rank of these five soldiers was only a second lieutenant, so he couldn't help frowning, and his upright body began to relax.
But when he saw the armband pattern hanging on the arms of these five soldiers, he couldn't help but immediately straighten his waist and stand up.
People outside may not know what the armband pattern represents, but all the Tang soldiers know that this pattern represents the Ministry of the Interior.
In Datang, the Ministry of the Interior was a more powerful department than the Gendarmerie Department, as they managed the army's merit records and rank promotions.
"Lieutenant Liu Sihao?" A second lieutenant in the middle, who looked like a person in charge, asked after saluting Liu Sihao.
Liu Sihao returned a standard military salute and said in a serious tone: "I am Liu Sihao." ”
"Please change your uniform." When the lieutenant had finished speaking, he was silent.
Liu Sihao was stunned for a moment, but soon understood that he wanted to change into a Datang military uniform, and couldn't help suppressing his excitement, nodded slightly and said, "Please wait." With a steady pace, he entered another room.
As soon as the door was closed, Liu Sihao immediately hurriedly took off the federal military uniform and threw it aside, and then quickly found the Datang military uniform to change into.
After tidying up his meter in the mirror, Liu Sihao flicked the rank of lieutenant on his shoulder and laughed in a low voice: "Hehe, I'm going to say goodbye to you." ”
Liu Sihao really didn't guess wrong, when he came out in the Tang Dynasty uniform, the second lieutenant immediately conveyed to him the order that he was promoted to captain.
Liu Sihao was both happy and a little frightened, because when he was receiving the promotion certificate, he took a look at the information about himself in the microcomputer brought by the second lieutenant.
At this glance, his cold sweat broke out, and the data clearly recorded what feats he had made, as well as what mistakes he had made, so detailed that even some things that were so small that no one would pay attention to them were recorded.
"Damn, there are so many people on the battlefield, how can the Ministry of the Interior even record the fact that I accidentally destroyed an instrument? How did they do it? ”
After Liu Sihao saw off the five officers of the Ministry of the Interior, he wiped his cold sweat and muttered in a low voice.
Muttering this, Liu Sihao hurriedly checked his office carefully, fearing that someone had installed something like a bugging device.
Liu Sihao, who was relieved that he didn't find anything in the way, suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said to himself: "I'm such an idiot, Tang Long's roots are in Datang, and Datang is not known how many times stronger than the Wanluo Federation, what else am I worried about?"
"If this guy Tang Long is ousted here, he will definitely be angry and run back to transfer troops to attack the Federation! Hehe, in that case, what am I doing so carefully? ”
Speaking of which, Liu Sihao began to make a communication and inform himself that those cronies should be prestigious, firstly, he could take the opportunity to take revenge on those guys who disobeyed the yang and the yin, and secondly, he also took the opportunity to be presumptuous, because according to the current situation, it will not be long before Tang Long will return to China, and if he is not majestic now, there will be no chance to be majestic in the future.
Lin Zhendong was a little proud now, of course, his face was still full of respect, because the people in this spaceship were all figures in his family, although he was about to have 100,000 warships, but he still had to rely on these people to expand his power, and he couldn't let them feel arrogant.
"Xiao Dongzi, you brought us old guys here, what is there to look at?" An old man with a gray beard said very much on the old man.
Hearing the title of Xiao Dongzi, Lin Zhendong frowned slightly, but he still didn't dare to offend this clan elder who had always supported him, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, don't worry, you can see good things later." ”
At this time, a very angry voice sounded: "I said, Sixth, what are your intentions in pulling the upper echelons of our family to this dark place, and you don't want to tell the situation?" It won't be that you can't wait to be the patriarch and prepare......"
As soon as Lin Zhendong heard this, he knew that it was his competitor and the boss of his own generation who said it, although he didn't care about him at all now, but he couldn't let his words arouse the suspicion of the family elders, didn't he see that the faces of the elders who heard this changed? I couldn't help but excuse myself.
Since the two candidates for the next patriarch have opened their mouths, their followers have also been busy adding in, and they are all desperately suppressing each other's momentum anyway, so that their side has the upper hand.
When the commotion was raging, the clansman in charge of piloting the spaceship reported: "Liushao, you have arrived at your destination." ”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, and Lin Zhendong even waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone go to the command tower, let you see what good things I have brought to the family, and see if I have bad intentions in bringing everyone here!" With that, he took the lead and walked towards the conning tower.
The clansmen all looked at several high-ranking clan elders, who glanced at each other, nodded and followed.
In their minds, the people in these spaceships are all their own clansmen, even if Lin Zhendong has bad intentions, he has no ability to instruct these clansmen to his disadvantage.
With the clan elder taking the lead, the other clansmen also followed to the conning tower.
Through the screen, everyone only saw a little starlight, and other than that, there were a few spaceships beside them, there was nothing here, and everyone looked at Lin Zhendong suspiciously.
Although Lin Zhendong had a calm expression on his face, there was a drum in his heart, that damn guy said that he would send the battleship at this time, right? If I don't come, then I'll be unlucky, and I will definitely be accused of murdering the clan elder by those guys.
Just when Lin Zhendong was nervous, the radar officer suddenly shouted: "There is an abnormality in the space ahead!" ”
Immediately, someone ran up to me and asked, "What's going on?" Is it a battleship that jumps out? ”
In this era of the universe, once an anomaly in space is discovered, the first thing that comes to mind is that it is caused by a space jump.
"It is impossible to conclude that the radar has not found anything other than showing spatial anomalies!" The radarman said a little panicked.
It's no wonder he's like this, it's the first time he's been in control of the radar for so long that he's encountered a situation where he couldn't detect what was jumping out of the space despite discovering a spatial anomaly.
After getting this information, everyone was a little panicked, after all, the unknown thing is the most terrifying.
Lin Zhendong was overjoyed in his heart, and finally came. Lin Zhendong can be so sure because he knows that guy's warships can evade radar detection.
"Space has returned to normal, but it is still impossible to detect the existence of any objects in front of it, but from the measurement of spatial anomalies, it can be concluded that a large amount of huge material has jumped out in front of it." The radarman continued to report his findings.
"Xiao Dongzi, that large number of materials that can't be detected by radar are good things you are going to let us see?" The patriarch saw that everyone was staring at Lin Zhendong, and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Third Uncle, those things are the good things I prepared for our family, now let's go forward, and then everyone will be able to witness with their own eyes that our family's glorious moment has come." Lin Zhendong said that the back, his tone was a little excited.
Lin Zhendong was able to confirm that the thing ahead was what he was waiting for, because the communicator that had been set up in his arms vibrated a long time ago, which he had agreed with that guy early in the morning, and he would notify himself as soon as the thing arrived.
The clan elder groaned for a moment, nodded at the person piloting the spaceship, and the spaceship began to start, flying towards the location of the spatial anomaly just now.
Originally, everyone still didn't see anything after flying for a while, and they couldn't help but start whispering to each other, Lin Zhendong didn't need to listen to know what they were saying, it was nothing more than doubting his own words.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile in his heart: "Let me say it now, wait a little longer, and you will be dumbfounded, and then you will know who is the real successor of the family." ”
As the spaceship got closer and closer to its destination, the screen slowly began to appear abnormal, everyone saw countless starlight from the screen, and a clansman said suspiciously, "What's the matter?" There's too much starlight up there, right? ”
Lin Zhendong smiled when he heard this clansman's words, and said to a clansman who controlled the computer: "Bring the scenery in the distance." ”
"Yes, Liushao." The people were very obedient and adjusted the scenery on the screen.
This time I zoomed in, and everyone who saw it gasped.
Because the little starlight I thought just now was actually the lights of the battleships, not to mention how huge these battleships were, the number of battleships that densely covered the entire screen alone was enough to surprise everyone.
"Xiao Dongzi, this ...... That's what you call a good thing? The old man stammered, pointing to the battleship displayed on the screen.
"Yes, these 100,000 warships are what I call a good thing."
Seeing everyone's shocked looks, Lin Zhendong was really proud in his heart, and his tone and expression changed unconsciously, and he was not as respectful as he was not long ago.
"You say, these warships belong to our family?" The boss who was competing with Lin Zhendong asked in disbelief.
"It was given to me by a friend." Lin Zhendong glanced at the boss and said in a light tone, but everyone could still hear that Lin Zhendong deliberately increased the volume of "my".
"For you? Who has such a great ability to send you 100,000 warships? The boss said with a strong sense of self-awareness.
He knew that no matter whether these warships really belonged to Lin Zhendong or not, as long as these warships supported Lin Zhendong, then Lin Zhendong would definitely be the next head of the family, and no one could shake Lin Zhendong's status, so he was dying here.
Because such a powerful force is what the family dreams of, and a person with such a powerful force does not have to worry about whether he can control the family at all.
"As for who sent me, there is no comment, you just need to know that these 100,000 warships are only under my orders."
Lin Zhendong glanced at the boss and everyone coldly, everyone present avoided Lin Zhendong's eyes as if they were nothing, they were not stupid, they all heard that this meant that Lin Zhendong was the master of these warships.
As for who would be so generous and give away 100,000 warships, everyone didn't care about this, anyway, these warships were real, and they were about to become the force of their own family.
The most important thing now is to see how much you can benefit yourself by using this force, rather than worrying about what you have and don't.
Originally, there were some doubts about whether what Lin Zhendong said was true, but when they saw countless warships lined up on both sides, and the ceremony of welcoming the commander of their fleet back with the army, they all left their doubts behind, and their eyes became hot when they looked at Lin Zhendong.
When the clansmen followed Lin Zhendong to the largest battleship, they saw that all the strong men on the battleship saluted Lin Zhendong and welcomed him to the commander's chair to sit down, so that the last trace of doubt disappeared.
Everyone, including the boss, began to fantasize that their family, under the leadership of Lin Zhendong, would definitely enter a glorious era that they had never dared to imagine before.
At this moment, no one will compete with Lin Zhendong for the position of the next head of the family.
Lin Zhendong didn't care about the respectful behavior of these big men, but waved them back casually.
He didn't worry about whether these subordinates would change their minds because of their attitude, because he knew that these big men were all robots in human skin, and as long as there were no problems with their programs, then they would definitely not betray him.
Even if they beat and insult them at will, they will not betray them.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhendong looked at his clansmen who were around him and looked at him with respect on their faces, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart and thought: "Alas, compared with robots, my clansmen are still more assured of robots, as long as there is no problem with the robot program, there is nothing."
"And these clansmen, if they are not careful, they will be stabbed in the back a few times. In this way, it's no wonder that guy likes to use robots so much. ”
Seeing Lin Zhendong's frowning appearance, the clan elder leaned forward and whispered in concern, "Does your friend who sent the battleship to you want you to help?" If it's not troublesome, help solve it as soon as possible, it's hard to owe favors. ”
Lin Zhendong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that this third uncle, who he was only using to compete for the position of the head of the family, would care so much about himself, and his heart couldn't help but warm.
But he also quickly calmed down, he smiled, and whispered to the clan elder: "Third uncle, this is not difficult, my friend asked me to help him get the Star Zero host computer to study, these 100,000 warships are the reward." ”
"Oh?"
The clan elder didn't believe that someone would spend the price of 100,000 warships in exchange for the Star Zero host, according to common sense, Lin Zhendong's friend meant to use these 100,000 warships to attack the capital area in order to capture the Star Zero host.
In fact, why bother so much, if you directly exchange it with the head of the capital area, they will definitely be very happy to exchange the star zero main engine for 100,000 warships, but since Lin Zhendong said so, the clan elder also believes it.
(To be continued)
