Ji Xinghe, who is already seventy years old, said that he would live for another seventy years.

But what he really had to say, like what he was doing, could be summed up in just two words – fight!

The cage, which should not have been opened according to the rules, was unlocked when Ji Xinghe's hand fell on the door.

Ji Xinghe, who entered it, gave a soft order, and the magnetic shackles that bound Aida Kang lost the power to restrain it, and the battle began without any surprises, and then ended with no unexpected results.

As Ai Dakang said, it is no longer Ji Xinghe's opponent, because the treatment it has received is not comprehensive, and it seems that there are no injuries on the surface, and there are many broken parts of the viscera.

If it weren't for the power of Qi to maintain it, Aidacom could have died at any time.

It is precisely because of this that the qi it can use, as well as its physical functions, are all inferior to Ji Xinghe.

Naturally, there is no doubt about defeat.

Idakon, who was lying motionless on the ground, looked up at Ji Xinghe standing beside him, and asked again, "Is it interesting?" ”

"Interesting."

Ji Xinghe's answer was exactly the same as just now, but the meaning was very different.

Because the problem of Adakon is very different from just now.

But not everyone is able to understand their conversation.

When the superior speaks, he has always liked to do this, secretive, cloudy, so that the people under him take painstaking analysis and guessing, just like the reading comprehension done when he was a student.

But that's not right.

In many cases, the reader's understanding during the reading process will be very different from the author's thinking at that time, or even conflict.

The reason for this is that there are a thousand Hamlets out of a thousand readers.

It can also be said that people only want to see what people want to see, and only want to believe what people want to believe.

Ji Xinghe doesn't want to be a superior, just like Idacom thinks that the current Ji Xinghe should not be a reckless man, but what Ji Xinghe does is a reckless man.

The active lieutenant general of the Federation, because of his military exploits in the Battle Scar Canyon, can be promoted to general at any time, and it can be said that he has reached the extreme of the Federation in terms of military rank.

Admirals, three-star generals, and five-star generals, as the number of Venus that distinguishes, has been explained by Li Yuanba just now: it has no meaning to Ji Xinghe.

So after answering Idacon's question, he spoke his mind in front of Adacon, in front of people who had signed the highest level of non-disclosure agreement in the Federation.

"The universe is boundless and vast, the stars are like sand, and in the endless galaxies that exist dependent on the stars, there must be endless life, and endless civilizations created by endless life.

We humans, you orangutans, are not coincidental, but two groups of people who meet by chance. With the development of science and technology, the footprints of life begin to travel between the universes, and this kind of accident will gradually become an inevitability. Because all life, after having wisdom, will yearn for the stars and the sea.

Or perhaps, the reason why life can have wisdom, and then evolve and develop into an intelligent civilization, is only because when life is still ignorant, it inadvertently sees the sea of stars in the sky.

Therefore, the ultimate goal of intelligent life and the civilization in which it is located must be the sea of stars. ”

Ji Xinghe seems to be giving a speech, and what he says is like a scientific truth, and it has some philosophical implications.

He is not a professional scholar, nor is he a scientist who can be called the glory of human wisdom, but it is precisely because of this that what he thinks and says is what most people would like to believe.

Because not all of them are scholars, they are all scientists.

Whether in the Federation or in the Empire, it is only a few of the few who can boast the glory of wisdom, and the Empire is even less in this regard.

Therefore, Idakang's thinking mode, from this point of view, is not much different from that of Ji Xinghe, an ordinary person.

"The vastness of the universe and the colossus of stars can only be described as sand and dust, let alone intelligent life and the intelligent civilization it creates and maintains.

The encounter of intelligent civilizations is inevitable in chance, but this inevitability is just a wave between the galacies in terms of the time scale of civilization continuity. In our more than 5,000 years of history, we have only encountered one extraterrestrial intelligent civilization. How can it not be so with you?

So, nothing to worry about.

Yes, your civilization may have existed for less than 5,000 years before you encountered two alien civilizations, us, and the so-called higher civilization that gave you technology.

As you become more proficient in the application of the Jump Gate technology, we will gradually master the Jump Gate technology, and the pace of exploring the stars will become faster and faster.

From a rare occurrence in 5,000 years, to a rare occurrence in a thousand years, and then to a once in a hundred years or even shorter.

But so what? ”

Ji Xinghe looked at Idakang and asked, without waiting for an answer, and continued to talk to himself.

He didn't just say it to Adakon.

"As long as we are not willing to give up the sea of stars, we are destined to face this kind of encounter. And the encounter of different intelligent civilizations has only three results.

We and you are at war.

We and them, perhaps, are also at war, but that doesn't mean that the other two outcomes can't exist.

Peaceful coexistence, integration of civilizations, and learning from history is nothing more than that.

If it's the other two outcomes, what's there to worry about? ”

Ji Xinghe asked twice: What is there to worry about?

But people are still very worried, but they no longer feel a chill or even a desperate worry when they first heard the news of the so-called high civilization.

Yes, would humans abandon the technology of the Leap Gate when they knew about it and had already started researching it?

The Empire, having already known about the existence of the Federation and having a war that lasted more than twenty years, would it choose to help the Federation hide it when that civilization arrived on the Imperial Star?

Chance has become inevitable, then you can only face it.

There may be some people who want to escape, but the sea of stars is endless, and human beings have not really left the solar system until now, and they can cross an orangutan that is not known how many light years away, and they have not been able to find a second planet suitable for orangutans and human survival.

Where to flee?

At this point, Ji Xinghe's speech can be said to be a success, just like the conversation he once faced Jackson.

He wasn't trying to convince Jackson to help him, he was trying to convince him to make a choice.

And it was because he finally decided to make that choice that there is now a legend.

"You're right, I'm already a lieutenant general of the federation now, and if I want to, I can become a lieutenant general of the federation now."

Ji Xinghe said a fact, whether he wants to be or not, it's just a matter of whether the process is long or short.

"But it's not really important, the important thing is that the water comes to cover the earth, and the soldiers are coming to block it. No matter what the future holds, no matter what kind of enemy the human world needs to face, I will stand in the forefront. ”

Ai Dakang looked at Ji Xinghe, who had a firm look in his eyes, and suddenly spoke: "Just a federal general? ”

There was no sarcasm in its tone, perhaps because it had just been beaten a little badly by Ji Xinghe, and it was afraid of being beaten again. Or maybe it's because Ji Xinghe shouldn't be ridiculed even if it's at this time.

Li Yuanba, who was outside the cage, also suddenly spoke.

"He's not a federal general, he's a general of the human world."

Ai Dakang, who was lying on the ground, did not look at Li Yuanba, and continued to ask, "What's the difference?" ”

"You have learned the dragon language, and you should have studied our history, so you should know that the general and the general are actually different."

"I really don't know."

"......" Li Yuanba was slightly embarrassed and explained: "General is not a specific position, but a general term for high-ranking generals. ”

Ai Dakang understood: "You want to say that Ji Xinghe represents the will of many Federation generals, including you, so he is not the general of your Federation, but the general of your human world?" Hehe...... My evaluation is that it is not as good as a general. ”

The general is different from the general, it is a specific position, and the empire also has it. Although it is not considered a great general in the language of the Empire, it has exactly the same meaning when translated into the dragon language.

The Great General of the Empire, similar to the Marshal of the Federation, is the general who leads the general.

Li Yuanba said that Ji Xinghe represents the will of high-level generals, and Ai Dakang said that the representation itself has no meaning, and it can be agreed to be represented by high-level generals, and naturally there is a possibility that it may be rejected by high-level generals.

The Great General is different, he does not need to represent anyone's will, and is itself a will that must be followed.

Therefore, Adakon is sowing discord again.

But Li Yuanba did not turn Idakang into a cripple as he just said, because some things actually do not need to sow discord, conflict and confrontation, which have existed from the beginning, but generation after generation of conflicts and confrontations, changing batch after batch of people.

He just looked at Ai Dakang who was lying at the foot of Ji Xinghe, and said with some regret: "You are like a dog now." ”

There was no mocking tone, but it was full of mockery that Idacom couldn't bear.

Idakang, who was born as a king, has the title of conqueror in the empire, sits on tens of millions of square kilometers of fiefdom, and controls the life and death of hundreds of millions of orangutans, how noble?

At this time, he was beaten into a dead dog by Ji Xinghe, and what he said was like a dead dog who knew that he was going to die and was unwilling to give up, so he could only bark indiscriminately.

Yes, it's already this time, what's the point of saying such things?

Perhaps.

But Li Yuanba told it on behalf of Ji Xinghe: You are just barking at a dog.

The silence lasted for a moment after Li Yuanba's words, and was broken by Ai Dakang, who was struggling to get up and sit.

It was really tall, and even if it sat on the ground, it gave the guards outside the cage a feeling of being looked down on. Among them, there are also reasons for its identity and power.

But in fact, it was looking up at Ji Xinghe.

"After I learned about this, I asked my second brother a question."

Idakang looked up at Ji Xinghe and said in a calm tone, "Why, don't we join forces with humans?" ”

These two sentences made the people listening have unprecedented expectations, and the technology brought by a reconnaissance spaceship can allow the empire to suppress the Federation in terms of actual military strength.

So how powerful is the civilization represented by this spaceship?

If it is another civilization that is comparable to the empire, people will not be afraid to the point of despair, one is fighting, and the two are also fighting, and the fighting and fighting, maybe it is a three-legged pattern.

Taking history as a guide, this is not new.

But there is a human in the world of ants who may have a bad taste, and the kettle he is holding is nothing in the human world, but it can bring disaster to the ants.

As a result, people are terrified to the point of despair, and will try to seize all the power they can grasp, even the empire that has brought despair to the Federation and humanity.

"My second brother didn't answer me, but asked me a question."

Ai Dakang continued to look up at Ji Xinghe, as if he was looking up at Emperor Wu III, who it should have looked up but had never really looked up at.

"Humans, will they submit to his rule?"

This is indeed a problem, and it is somewhat unsolvable.

In the face of such a crisis, Emperor Wu III was reluctant to join forces with mankind, because it would not live for forty-seven years?

Ji Xinghe, who is already seventy years old, said in public that he would live for another seventy years, and Emperor Wu III would naturally be able to live until that time.

Therefore, the reason why Emperor Wu III was reluctant is easy to guess.

It's like when the Federation faces the Empire, it can't be fully united and go all out. When the Federation and the Empire join forces, how can they be united?

It's just turning the external fighting into an internal fight, which will deplete the strength of both sides to a greater extent.

Because the real disintegration almost always comes from within.

People who are already smart and well-informed, because of these two sentences of Ai Dakang, think of many facts and even tragedies that will inevitably happen after the two sides join forces.

I also understood the thoughts of Emperor Wu III.

I have to admit that some people believe that Emperor Wu III did the right thing, although it is very bad for humanity.

"Ji Xinghe."

After Adacom had spoken about his conversation with Emperor Wu III, he didn't say what he thought, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"How's that orangutan?"

Six ears.

The name came to mind, and because of the Independence Regiment, it already had a great fame at a certain level of the Federation.

Some don't live up to their names.

But after Liu'er surrendered and joined the Separate Regiment, it was already doing well.

According to the latest Venus calculation method just proposed by Ji Xinghe, the six ears that can only fly the formation-breaking mecha at present, have become a special mecha warrior of the Federation, if the Federation approves it.

The number of Venus in it has reached thirty-three, and considering the factors of the performance level of the mecha it pilots, as well as the difficulty of the battles it has participated in, its breaking speed is really fast and fast.

Becoming an ace mecha warrior seems to have become an inevitability.

But this is not the real value of the existence of the six ears, what if the mecha is strong?

Anyway, they are not as strong as Qin Tong and them, let alone compared to Han Li and others.

It is a possibility represented by the six ears, combined with the two sentences that Idakang just said, people have a certain expectation, and express their admiration for Ji Xinghe's foresight and discernment.

But no one knew why Ji Xinghe accepted the white-haired orangutan of Six Ears at that time, just like no one knew that he had a certain dream.

Ji Xinghe groaned slightly and asked, "You also want me to give you a name?" ”

This is a good question, but Li Yuanba was suddenly a little nervous.
