Chapter 552: Murder and Heart
Imperial Star.
Emperor Wu City.
Li Zhengfan stood at the top of the imperial capital, but he couldn't see the end of the city at a glance.
It's a huge city, with 50 million permanent residents, but few of the high-rise buildings that are common in the cities on the Azure Star.
Except for the imperial city where Emperor Wu III lived, there was a building called the Tower of Babel with a height of 500 meters, and the other buildings were no more than 100 meters high.
According to the average height and building habits of human beings, 33 floors can be built in 100 meters, and in the Empire, a maximum of 27 floors can be built in 100 meters.
Those buildings that are nearly 100 meters tall are at most 27 floors, and it is said that this is because Emperor Wu I was 27 years old when he came to power.
It is worth mentioning that the orbital speed of the Imperial Star in its galaxy is about the same as that of the Azure Star, with an average of only 16 days more than a year.
Therefore, the twenty-seven years old of the Imperial Star is actually equivalent to the twenty-seven years old of the Azure Star.
Because high-rise buildings are not allowed, the area of Emperor Wu City is extremely large, after all, there are 50 million permanent residents.
However, there is almost no traffic jam in Wudi City, and the scarcity of private vehicles is one of the reasons, and the carrying capacity of public transportation can meet normal needs on the other hand.
The real core reason is that between urban areas, civilians are not allowed to travel freely, and there are civilians who were born in Emperor Wu City and have never been to another city in their lives, let alone other cities.
This is unimaginable in the Azure Star, but it is very normal in the Empire.
Because in a sense, Emperor Wu City is actually a giant-level military camp, and all the residents living in this city can become soldiers of Emperor Wu III with or without weapons.
The laws and regulations that make their lives inconvenient are the equivalent of orders and prohibitions in the army.
Some are like the cultivation and warfare system of a certain dynasty in Azure Star, the difference is that the 50 million orangutans in Emperor Wu City do not need to farm, and there is no place for them to farm, almost all of them are workers.
Almost all of the empire's technological products, from household appliances to digital products to military products, came from the factories of Emperor Wu City.
This makes the city, it look cold.
And those workers, although they have been producing all kinds of scientific and technological products, do not know what they do, and the production environment of the assembly line does not require them to understand the scientific principles.
All design and development work is done by the Royal Academy of Sciences.
Li Zhengfan looked in the direction of the Royal Academy of Sciences, which was very close to the Imperial City, where there were also no high-rise buildings.
"Is it pretty?"
Emperor Wu III, dressed in the imperial military uniform, appeared in front of Li Zhengfan, and also looked at the city that was completely controlled by it.
"It's not pretty."
Since the last time he communicated with Li Yuanba and Ji Xinghe, his state has improved a lot, mainly focusing on his spiritual will.
He had long been worried that the empire would use his identity to do something, but Li Yuanba and Ji Xinghe did not live up to his expectations.
When he died.
So he was happy.
"It's really not pretty, because there is no breath of life."
Emperor Wu III was also in a good mood, he laughed, and the coercion in his voice decreased a lot.
"I've seen other cities, there is a lot of life, and there will be a lot of smiles on the faces of civilians, not like in this city, few civilians dare to laugh outside, most of them will only laugh at home when watching TV, surfing the Internet, and playing games."
"Isn't that what you were expecting?" Li Zhengfan looked at the cold city and said unceremoniously: "If you don't like it, you can destroy it, in that case, I will think it looks good." ”
Emperor Wu III was not angry, it was in a really good mood.
"I won't destroy it, I'll leave it to Dongguo Cilian's group of rebels, and then, watch it be destroyed. It's not just it, it's the planet. ”
Completely different from the Federal's speculation at this time, Dongguo Cilian did not die, the rebels were not wiped out, and the internal strife in the empire tended to intensify.
Not long after Dongguo Cilian returned to the Imperial Star with the nuclear weapons given to it by the Federation, one of the most powerful Quartet Kings in the empire joined the camp of the rebels and became one of the leaders.
Now, nearly three months later, there is news that another King of the Four Directions is ready to join the camp of the rebels.
Because, Dongguo Cilian really has a nuclear weapon, and has successfully detonated a hydrogen bomb of the Xiao Yin Wan level, destroying one of the twelve cities with the strongest control of Emperor Wu III except for Emperor Wu City.
"Dongguo Cilian doesn't have many nuclear weapons."
Li Zhengfan frowned and said, "You have regained control of that jump base in the Battlescar Canyon, and it can't get more from the Federation. Moreover, the last time you did, you could have intercepted that nuclear weapon. Therefore, they can't destroy this planet, and they can't afford to destroy it. ”
This is the reason for the change in the war of aliens.
Emperor Wu III easily cut off the most powerful support of the Imperial Resistance, and from this point of view, it actually had the ability to prevent Dongguo Cilian from returning with nuclear weapons.
"If you don't let Dongguo Cilian detonate that nuclear weapon, how can the rebels believe that Dongguo Cilian has a nuclear weapon? If the rebels don't believe me, how dare they resist me? ”
Emperor Wu III said softly: "You don't have to take my words, I can tell you directly, after that alien advanced civilization comes, it will definitely destroy all the existing intelligent life on this planet, as well as all the buildings, everything, will not exist, and this planet will return to the most primitive, but more powerful state." ”
Li Zhengfan guessed a lot of information from this sentence, and he asked, "That alien civilization needs this planet as their survival planet?" Moreover, the existing environment of this planet is not suitable for them, so they will undergo a fatal transformation of this planet for you? ”
Emperor Wu III was silent.
Li Zhengfan was not worried, he had already determined a long time ago that Emperor Wu III was actually very lonely.
It is also an intelligent life, and the orangutan is also a social animal like humans, and the secrets and pressures that Emperor Wu III bears need at least one person to confide in.
But Idakang's own brother can't do it, let alone other orangutans?
As a result, Li Zhengfan, who is known as the greatest hero in the Federation and has the blood of the Li family, has become the object of his confiding.
Ordinary human beings, such as Tu Yuan, Han Li and others, are still completely unable to enter its eyes.
It's like Idakang, so far it only admits that it has memorized the names of four humans, and Tu Yuan is not worthy of it in its opinion.
And among these four names, three belong to the Li family.
"Emperor Wu I called them the Creators, Emperor Wu II called them the Protoss, and I, I called them the Ruined Civilization. So, they are ruined civilizations. ”
Just one title made Li Zhengfan have a lot of guesses, combined with Ji Xinghe's acquisition of qi power from the baptism of nuclear explosion, and Emperor Wu I obtained qi power from the spaceship of the ruined civilization, he was almost sure that a few guesses were facts.
The premise is that Emperor Wu III did not lie to him.
Judging from the fact that Emperor Wu III asked Dongguo Cilian to come back to form a rebel army, in the future, Emperor Wu III may not have sent him back to another planet and let him bring some wrong information to the Federation.
He didn't want to pass on the wrong information, but what if all he knew was wrong?
"The Ruined Civilization is a civilization that has experienced a nuclear war, and their planet is no longer suitable for them to live, but they did not have the ability to leave that planet at that time.
So, in the ruins, they have the power of gas because of the nuclear radiation. And this power not only makes them stronger, but also gives them a higher level of intelligence.
After that, they built a spaceship and left the planet to start looking for a new habitable planet. In the process, they have either acquired, or developed, the transition technology.
The spaceship that Emperor Wu I picked up was just a scientific research spaceship, or a reconnaissance spaceship.
Anything else? ”
After Li Zhengfan finished speaking, he asked directly.
Emperor Wu III did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "Why do you think it takes fifty years for them, who have the leap technology and know the exact coordinates of this planet, to come again?" ”
"It's forty-eight years and three months."
Li Zhengfan corrected, and then replied: "Because the intelligent life on that spaceship is dead, it is too late to use the jump communication to tell the ruins civilization the coordinates of this planet. And it takes three hundred and fifty years for normal communication signals to be transmitted to the ruined civilization. In other words, the distance between them and your planet is about three hundred and fifty light-years.
At this distance, even if your planet is within their range, they will not be able to see the changes in this planet. All they can see now is the same thing as the planet was three hundred and fifty years ago. ”
Emperor Wu III smiled, noncommittal, and directly changed the subject.
"The information brought back by Dongguo Cilian shows that no one in the Federation can control the power of Qi except for Ji Xinghe, at least until it returns. And Ji Xinghe is no longer in another star, he returned to the Azure Star. ”
Li Zhengfan sneered twice.
"Is this what Dongguo Cilian told you, or did Dongguo Cilian tell a certain leader of the rebels, and then that leader told you? Or, did the humans who work with Adacom tell you? ”
"It doesn't matter." Emperor Wu III said: "The important thing is, do you think I should use Ji Xinghe's independent regiment to force him to return to the alien planet, or tell the Federation that he really has the power of qi?" ”
"You said that Ji Xinghe doesn't have the blood of a god, so it is impossible for him to grasp the power of the gift."
"You've already guessed the answer before, and told Adacom about it, now, have you forgotten?"
"So, Ji Xinghe can really grasp the power of the gift?"
"I decided."
Emperor Wu III suddenly said: "I decided to use his independent regiment to force him to go to the alien planet, and then on the day he set off from the Azure Star, tell the Federation that he really mastered the power of qi. How, isn't it interesting? ”
Li Zhengfan suddenly sighed.
He looked at Emperor Wu III with pity and said in a mocking tone.
"You're scared."
With a bang, Li Zhengfan's metal body flew upside down and smashed into a wall, and then accurately stuck on a window.
With his head facing outward, he could clearly see the ant-like mecha guards below, and at a height of five hundred meters, he would definitely fall to his death.
Li Zhengfan tried, and he really lost the ability to control his body, and it became impossible to jump down.
Seriously injured again, he entered the near-death state he had become accustomed to, but he was very happy.
He was breathless, but he was able to continue to speak.
"You are afraid, not only because Ji Xinghe may get the power of the gift, but also because if Ji Xinghe relies on himself to get the power of the gift, he will definitely be stronger than you. So you're scared, hahaha......"
Emperor Wu III did not respond to Li Zhengfan, nor did he continue to vent his anger.
Standing at the top of the Imperial City, sitting on the Empire, and having the strongest individual force in the Empire and the Federation, it looked lonely at this time.
It earnestly recited a human name in its heart: Ji Xinghe.
