Chapter 673: Lies

François has been secretly following Wang Qinian.

As a "worker bee", you must absolutely obey the orders of the "queen bee". This was the first concept that came to François's mind. When Su Hao was leaving, he once left words like "You must obey Wang Qinian". François did this very thoroughly. He took the initiative to give up the position of director of the Imperial Research Institute, and conscientiously and dutifully assisted Wang Qinian in completing one research work after another. At the time, François never felt that there was anything wrong with this. Wang Qinian's actions were all to help the emperor and go to that world earlier. In order to achieve this goal, François was willing to give a qiē, even his life.

From the time Wang Qinian devoured the entire research institute, François gradually found that things seemed to deviate from what he originally thought. Although Wang Qinian's research direction has not changed, it is more focused on mechanical combinations and its own powerful aspects. François watched with horror as the old fat man devoured one thing after another, first scrapped vehicles and machinery, then several steel mills that had to be demolished. Things are becoming more and more incredible, Wang Qinian has the ability to transform and move himself, and can turn into a huge multi-purpose vehicle or a giant flying machine according to actual needs.

François used to be a close associate of Wang Qinian. On the abandoned Red Dragon Planet, he witnessed the whole process of the old fat man swallowing a bus. There was no action such as opening his mouth, Wang Qinian just opened his hands and embraced the whole car. It's like a child who has been given a favorite toy, kneading his favorite object back and forth, straightening, rounding, and flattening it...... It wasn't until the whole car was crumpled into a ball of scrap metal that he was satisfied with stretching out his mechanical body and swallowing the scrap metal into it. Then, it is forged, smelted, remade into steel, and so on.

François knew he wasn't a hero. He just felt that things had gone out of the original control.

Yes, Wang Qinian is indeed the emperor's most trusted friend. However, the word "friend" itself has a lot of uncertainties.

Great friendships have always been one of the most beautiful qualities that have been praised by all. Words such as sticking a knife in the ribs for a friend have long become the favorite proverb of human beings on earth. When someone is desperate, he leaves his family in the care of a friend; A person has absolute trust in a friend and gives him all important belongings for safekeeping; Someone thinks that friends are more important than family and does not hesitate to give a qiē for their friends...... There are so many things like that, it's too many to count. However, friends are friends after all, and if you entrust the care of your family, you will get your wife to bed and get pregnant and have children. Important items entrusted to them eventually become the private property of others, and there are many cases where they go to court. François believed in Wang Qinian, but he did not trust him absolutely, but retained the benchmark of belonging to the "worker bee".

"He's taken too much from us."

François said to Tong Yanfeng in a deep voice, "If Dean Wang was still the human who had just come out of the portal, then I would not have walked in and said these words to you. The situation is different now than it was in the past. Dean Wang has become the greatest threat to our empire. He swallowed so much, even an entire planet. Do you know what that means? The Empire's immigration program was forced to be revised, and in the next few hundred years, we had to reduce the number of births by about two billion. Correspondingly, the scale and output value of industry were also affected, the number of spacecraft produced was forced to be reduced, and the armaments and the welfare of the people were not as high as imagined. ”

Tong Yanfeng listened carefully to François's words and smiled faintly: "Things are not as strict as you imagined. Dean Wang just made a real yàn. When His Majesty was leaving, he explained that he must obey any orders of Dean Wang. The combined cost of a planet, while high, is not a burden we can afford. I will convey your concerns to the dean, he is very talkative. Rest assured! The problem you are worried about will not happen, and it will get better in one qiē. ”

"Nope! You still don't understand the problem of strict zhòng sex! ”

François suddenly roared. He glared at Tong Yanfeng angrily and roared repeatedly: "He has plundered the property belonging to the people of the empire and taken too many things that belong to us. Don't you understand? Things are getting out of control. What is Wang Qinian now? He is no longer a human being, but a planet! A planet! A planet! ”

These words hit Tong Yanfeng's head like a hammer. He vaguely sensed that something bad was happening, and slowly raised his head, looked at François with an inquiring gaze, and asked, "What do you want to sue me?" ”

"We're currently on Red Dragon One."

François's voice and expression were cold: "In this galaxy, there are a total of six planets suitable for human habitation. Among them, Planets 1, 2 and 3 are the closest locations. Problems with any one of the planets will affect the other two. Your Excellency Lord Regent, the stars are very closely related to each other, they all revolve around the sun, and they are a whole that influences each other. This type of joint movement was destined to be unchangeable from the beginning. If it is only a small asteroid, it will cause a slight energy fluctuation between planets at most. However, Dean Wang devoured an entire planet. It had become a part of his body. This is equivalent to having three people working together to form a seesaw, located at each end and in the middle of the plate. Without either one, the game cannot be played. ”

After a pause, François resumed his feelings, but his words became colder than just now: "The biggest problem now is that from hundreds of millions of years ago, when our galaxy was first formed, it can be seen that the game has begun. The stability between the planets must last forever, and if it changes, it means that the human beings living on the planet will be wiped out. There is only one solution, and that is to find a habitable planet and immigrate before that. ”

Tong Yanfeng slowly frowned.

He is no stranger to topics such as immigration. At the beginning, if it hadn't been for the discovery that the geology and environmental conditions of the Red Dragon Planet had changed, the empire would not have given up there, and all the staff would have moved to the current planet. The humans who are transported are all "worker bees", or "quasi-worker bees" with a high probability of variability. In a certain way, this can be seen as a way to strengthen the empire and enhance cohesion in all directions. The appearance and sudden mutation of Haig prevented the catastrophe on the Red Dragon Planet from breaking out in the end. It held the planet in its arms, even devouring it entirely, making it a part of its body.

Interstellar migration is not impossible. However, a large-scale migration campaign like the last one will not be possible in a short period of time. The habitable planets that have been identified are too far away from here, and there are not enough ships to carry them. All in all, a second mass migration simply will not be possible in the coming years.

"Haig is different from Dean Wang. Although it is not human, it can be trusted. ”

François saw what Tong Yanfeng was thinking, and continued: "We have all injected the emperor's blood. We all have a common idea in our heads. Haig is an outlier, but he has the same ingredients as us. Although it sometimes has a special idea, it will not do anything to harm the Emperor. What's more, the Red Dragon Planet is far away from us, and Haig has clearly taken this into account as well. Based on the observations of the past few years, the size of the Red Dragon Planet is gradually shrinking, and I don't know exactly how Hagrid did it, but it is clear that its activities will not affect us. Even if it takes the planet out of its current orbit, it won't cause a large-scale catastrophe here. ”

"I really don't have much confidence in Dean Wang."

François sighed: "I don't know what he thinks, but the person who has the most contact is His Excellency the Grand Pope of Monch." I can only look at the problem from the point of view of a scientist. Dean Wang has a detached personality and does things in an eclectic way. However, once he deviates from his current orbit, the problems it will cause are simply unimaginable. Even, it is possible to produce a total upheaval of the entire galaxy. ”

Tong Yanfeng disagrees with this statement. He shook his head, then clicked on the computer screen, pointed to the screen and said, "You should check this out." I think you're too biased. ”

The footage on the computer is a video taken by NASA from the Red Dragon 3 planet in the recent past. In the center of the picture is a rocket that has just taken off from the ground. Its size and appearance are no different from those of the Empire's common launch vehicles. François's eye was very professional, and based on the scale of the picture and other references on the video, he immediately judged that the volume of these rockets was actually much larger than expected, dozens of times better than the normal range.

The screen continues to shift, revealing a launch site set up on the planet's surface. The terrain is empty, there are no vehicles, power pylons, and no staff are in sight.

"This is the launch site built by Dean Wang, and you can see it as a part of his body."

Tong Yanfeng smiled and said, "Dean Wang should have already considered the problem you said before. Yes, he did want to get out of his current position. He's always been a free-spirited man, ever since I knew him. He is using this method of launching rockets at high frequencies to reduce the size of his own body to minimize the impact on the stars. According to NASA's calculations, as long as such a launch lasts for another six months, the size of the Red Dragon 3 planet could be reduced by 40 percent. Also, you look at this again. ”

As he spoke, Tong Yanfeng clicked on another display screen, and the background was also the universe, and a strangely shaped star appeared on it.

"This is where all the rockets come together, where they are concentrated, merged, and combined into new mechanical compounds. Hehe! Looks amazing, doesn't it? I'm afraid that only someone with an alternative brain like Dean Wang would think of such a shocking transfer method. We have used remote sensing technology to detect that in the first released rockets, each rocket has a small optical brain inside. They combine with each other in the target area to form a huge construction machine with self-control, conversion capabilities. I don't know what method Dean Wang used to control him? But it's clear that this thing is his doppelganger, and it works very well. Although the mastermind of the dean has not yet been transferred, it is enough to control the split body. As long as this continues, even if the Red Dragon III planet disappears, it will not affect us in any way. As far as this is concerned, you really can't think too much about it. ”

Tong Yanfeng turned around and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "You shouldn't doubt the order of His Majesty the Emperor. He said: You must obey President Wang. This is what each of us should do. ”

"Nope! I didn't disobey orders! I didn't! ”

François suppressed his anger and roared in a low voice: "I have always bowed down to him, obeying his orders and providing him with a steady stream of practical materials. I even handed over control of the entire Imperial Academy. Your Excellency, you should look at the list of supplies consumed in the past few years to understand why I am angry. The empire, though powerful, could not withstand such attrition. We all know that His Majesty the Emperor is for the future and happiness of this world, and we must be His Majesty's strongest and most reliable backing. I have always believed that since Dean Wang and His Majesty are both from the same world, friendship and trust should be unbreakable. But why, did Dean Wang refuse to inject His Majesty's blood? Refuse to be like us, to be a worker bee? ”

"Dear François, you've gone to some extremes."

Tong Yanfeng squinted his eyes and said: "The mutual trust between people is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It is true that the blood of the emperor can maintain a large group of trust, but the word "trust" often exists beyond this relationship. In this world, not everyone has the opportunity to become a "worker bee". In the face of the environment, we need to adapt, not force it to adapt to us. I have to say that your opinion of Dean Wang is too biased. ”

"Environment?"

François's tone suddenly changed very subtly: "Since you are talking about the environment, then the current empire is a huge "swarm". The last time I emigrated, I had filtered out all the rebels and people with alternative thinking. They were all left on the planet Red Dragon and became food for Haig. Now, all the people who have migrated to the planet are "worker bees" who share our ideas. This is the environment in which Dean Wang lives. Since it was inside the "swarm", why did he still refuse to receive the injection? Why do you have to be a stranger? Do you know, I'm not the only one who has this kind of thought, many people have questions about Wang Qinian. To this day, I still don't know what he wants. Why do you want to make your body so big? ”

Tong Yanfeng looked at François calmly and asked, "It's not just you?" ”

"I'm just telling the truth."

François raised his head and said without fear: "Wang Qinian occupies more than 30% of the resources of the empire. Although he never made any economic demands on us after devouring that planet, the damage to the entire empire was still huge. In order to provide him with all kinds of practical materials, we were forced to reduce the budget of more than one hundred and thirty Imperial armored divisions. According to the plan left by His Majesty the Emperor before leaving, we should complete all the work of forming the 200 new armored divisions by June next year. But now, only 51 divisions have completed the basic construction, and another 17 divisions have built the basic framework, and even weapons and equipment are not in place. What should we do if the Emperor really sends back the message that a large number of reinforcements are needed through the Guò Space Gate? ”

"Also, Wang Qinian has been forcibly occupying all the portals."

François's expression was already very hideous, and it looked chilling: "He destroyed all the indigenous villages on the Red Dragon Planet and took all the portals from the pyramids. Whether it is the reverse door to the earth or the positive door to another world, he has taken it into his body and has become his personal property. We don't know exactly what happened to the Emperor, or what we should do to help him. These portals are all controlled by Wang Qinian alone, and the most he can do is tell us that the portals have a time that must be cooled down. However, in fact, we have not carried out a systematic analysis of the portal, and we do not know how it works, nor do we know how it uses energy and the related numbers. Your Excellency the Regent, you and His Majesty the Emperor are both from the same world, and you and His Majesty have both said that in your world, there is a blank space teleportation technology. Since this is the case, why did Wang Qinian say something like the space door must be cooled? This doesn't make sense. If he knows the secret, he should make it public, and gather the wisdom of more people to refer to it. If he doesn't know anything about it, he must be making up a lie. ”

With a deep exhalation, François gritted his teeth fiercely, opened his mouth, and said two words that moved Tong Yanfeng.

"If it's the former, why is his refusal to disclose the secret?"

"If it's the latter, why would he make up one such lie?"

Tong Yanfeng was completely silent.

He really couldn't say a word to refute François.

Yes, Wang Qinian occupied all the portals on the Red Dragon Planet, including the white pyramid in the Central Mountain Range, all of which were contained in his body. Although some people objected to this at the time, thinking that it was necessary to leave some of them for research, but in the face of the order left by Su Hao, this doubt seemed very fragile.
