"I don't know."

Li Zhengfan answered Ji Xinghe's question without any hesitation, and then explained: "Although I have been with it for more than nine years, I don't think I know enough about it, especially for its real thoughts. ”

Li Yuanba frowned, as if he cared about the description of 'together' that Li Zhengfan said.

Ji Xinghe's eyes were curious.

Li Zhengfan understood.

"For example, it obviously has enough strength to end this war on the alien planet, but it has been waiting. In the past, I thought it was trying to use this war to consume the dissubordinate forces within the empire. But now it seems that it is not, because it has a very strong control over the rebel army led by Dongguo Cilian.

Recently, Dongguo Cilian or its subordinates are very likely to come to the alien planet and the Federation to trade through the jump passage of the Battle Scar Canyon, which is the information obtained from it. ”

The news in these words was analyzed as soon as possible, and the relevant personnel formulated a coping strategy, omitting it.

Li Yuanba, who continued to frown, argued.

"It doesn't have the power to end this war, even if it's the so-called Anti-Galactic Legion and the Imperial Royal Mecha Guards Battalion. We already know that the use of nuclear weapons will affect the use of the Empire's Jump Gate. ”

"The use of nuclear weapons will indeed have a certain impact on the jump gate." Li Zhengfan shook his head and said: "But the question is how much equivalent is needed, and is there really only two jump bases in the empire on another planet?" ”

A long time ago, the Federation suspected that the empire was on another planet, and in addition to the Valley of War Scars and the Mountain of the Gods, there was also a jump base.

After all, the alien planet is too big, and the empire also has a miniaturized jump gate device, even if the federation has air supremacy, it is difficult to find everything in an environment similar to a dust storm and in some special areas.

However, after much verification and analysis of the development of the war, the Federation now believes that the Empire may indeed only have two jump bases.

At this time, Li Zhengfan's words reminded people of that terrifying possibility again.

"Where?" Li Yuanba asked directly.

"I don't know."

Li Zhengfan didn't know why he chose to lie, he already knew it three years ago.

Then he said in a very affirmative tone, "But I know that the Empire must have a third jump base in Alien, either already built or still under construction. ”

Theoretically, no one can find out Li Zhengfan's lies at this time, because the most advanced polygraph equipment in the federation is difficult to be effective in his physical state, and no one uses polygraph equipment for him.

But Ji Xinghe felt that something was wrong, it was from intuition, but for some reason he didn't say it on the spot, and kept his external performance unchanged.

Li Yuanba, who cares about chaos, is already a little delirious at this time.

"So, the Jump Gate of Warscar Canyon is not important to the Empire at all?"

"That's right, but the impact is still there."

Li Zhengfan pondered for three seconds before continuing: "Judging from the normal mode of thinking, Emperor Wu III will deliberately give up the location of the jump base in the Battle Scar Canyon to the rebel army led by Dongguo Cilian. It is also possible that the orangutan in charge of the jump base made a deal with Dongguo Cilian privately.

Then, let Dongguo Cilian bring a certain advantage to the rebels through the help of the Federation, so that more opposition forces in the empire can show up and join the rebels. In this way, Emperor Wu III will be able to complete his work in one battle.

At the same time, when the Jump Base in the Scar Canyon was under the control of Dongguo Cilian, it was impossible for the Federation to destroy it. Dongguo Cilian would not let the Federation approach the Jump Gate to decipher the technology, because that would allow Emperor Wu III to directly destroy the Jump Base.

Once the three parties reached a balance in a sense, Emperor Wu III would be able to allow the Imperial Academy of Sciences, using his men in the rebels, to gain control of some of the Federation's technology through the Federation's support for the rebels.

However, these are all normal thought patterns.

And Emperor Wu III's mode of thinking is not normal, and the social system of the empire is destined to be impossible for the forces opposing it to be destroyed by it. As long as it continues to rule the empire with high pressure, the flame of rebellion will never be extinguished.

But it still has to do it, why? ”

Li Zhengfan's gaze moved away from Li Yuanba's body and looked at Ji Xinghe.

"I think that Emperor Wu III gave up the jump base in the Battle Scar Canyon just to let you go to the Imperial Star."

Ji Xinghe's expression was calm: "Why? ”

"Because it thirsts for true evolution, that's the only thing I know for sure about it."

Li Zhengfan paused slightly and began to explain.

"There are many people who have said that when wealth reaches a certain level, money is just a number. In the same way, when power reaches a certain level, the motivation to pursue power will be lost.

Emperor Wu III inherited the throne of the empire and the entire empire, so to speak, it was born to stand at the top of power, so it did not need to pursue power at all.

Ruling the empire does not bring any pleasure to it, and the appearance of the rebels is just a pleasure for it. Including the war with the Federation, it does not make sense for it, because it is clear that it can only destroy the Federation, and will never be able to rule the Federation.

Even if it wins, the new empire that merges the empire and the federation will continue to appear resistance, until one day, the new empire becomes another federation. Based on this, it will not have a chance to go down in history, because it will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. ”

Li Zhengfan's words, for many people, are analyzing Emperor Wu III for Ji Xinghe, Li Yuanba, and many people.

But for Ji Xinghe, Li Yuanba, and a very small number of people, it is like a reminder and warning.

"The threat of the Third Civilization is also meaningless to it, even if the future empire and the Federation will be destroyed by the Third Civilization, it will not care. Because these are the things it has ever had, and can have.

By the way, regarding the third civilization, Emperor Wu I called it the creator civilization, Emperor Wu II called it the civilization of the Protoss, and Emperor Wu III called it the civilization of ruins.

Judging from its perception of the Third Civilization, what it really desires is to evolve in the ruins like the Third Civilization. I'm not sure if it's the evolution of its individual or its species, but it's certain that it's thirsty for evolution. ”

Li Zhengfan's words seem to have changed from a reminder and warning to a picture cake.

He looked at Ji Xinghe with a calm expression.

"It is an established fact that the power of Qi can increase longevity. The limit of Qi's lifespan is also a fact that has been determined, as strong as Emperor Wu III, he will not live for three hundred years.

Of course, Emperor Wu III may not have thought about pursuing immortality, because the power of qi is not the best way to achieve immortality, and mechanical and biochemical transformation, uploading consciousness to the virtual world, etc., are all better research directions, but as far as I know, it has not invested research resources in these aspects.

But the length of life, for humans and orangutans, is the best proof of the sublimation of life level. And if you want to sublimate the level of life, you need to evolve in the true sense.

I think that the two very similar life forms of humans and orangutans, as well as the more similar life forms in the universe, perhaps including the life forms of the third civilization, if not created by a higher intelligent civilization, then are actually pursuing evolution.

From sea creatures to land creatures, from reptiles to primates, from apes to Homo sapiens, from modern Homo sapiens to ancient humans, it has evolved again and again to give rise to modern humans.

The evolutionary history of imperial orangutans is very similar to that of humans. Because some people believe that humans and orangutans were created by real advanced intelligent civilizations, but in my opinion, these two life forms, humans and orangutans, are life forms that are more suitable to complete the next stage of evolution in the process of life pursuit and evolution, so they will appear.

And those who are not suitable have all been eliminated, such as Homo sapiens and Homo erectus in human history, and Neanderthals, who were eliminated by late Homo sapiens. Those that have not been eliminated, such as some animals now, will have a much lower level of intelligence than humans......"

"Say the conclusion." Ji Xinghe interrupted Li Zhengfan's popular science.

"Okay." Li Zhengfan nodded and said, "The next stage of evolution of humans and imperial orangutans is to obtain and master the power of qi. When I say get and master, I mean that the genetic frequency of human beings is completely changed because of the power of qi, and to put it simply, the vast majority of newborn human beings are born with the power of qi and no longer need to be gifted.

The Third Civilization, on the other hand, completed this stage of evolution many years ago, and may now be in a new stage of evolution. I think it has to do with the nature of gifts, but it has nothing to do with what I'm going to say.

What I want to say is that Emperor Wu I, who has already received the power of qi three hundred years ago, if he is willing to give as many gifts to his race as he is like you, and like the Federation, conduct research on qi and gifts, so that more orangutans with gift abilities like fat tigers will appear in the empire.

Empires, then, may have now completed this stage of evolution and are beginning to touch a new stage of evolution like the Third Civilization. But Emperor Wu I is not like you, and the empire has not appeared like a fat tiger until now. ”

Li Zhengfan didn't know if he was patting on the back, but it didn't matter.

He continued: "Emperor Wu III wants to pursue the next stage of evolution, so he is willing to give the ability of the gift to Aida Kang, and in the Empire, this special way of giving is called inheritance. Then, Idakang made a large number of gifts to the imperial orangutan group, so that the orangutans who had obtained qi would have evolutionary changes in their genes.

But it did so too late, and the Third Civilization would emerge forty-seven years later, and it would not be too late to change the genetic frequencies of the Imperial orangutans. Because in the empire, there are only it and Idacom for a long time, and without quantitative change, it is naturally difficult to have qualitative change.

Moreover, Emperor Wu III was born accustomed to control, and he did not want the next stage of evolution to be brought about by other orangutans, or by other people. It must be led by it, or discovered by it, as is what you mean to the human world right now.

So ......"

Li Zhengfan looked at Ji Xinghe and said seriously: "It wants to get ...... You! ”

"Hiss......"

Li Yuanba gasped, sat up from the hospital bed reluctantly, and looked at Ji Xinghe with strange eyes.

"Old man, if you don't, you get rid of it. Take the technology that destroyed all the jump bases of the alien planet, as well as the jump gate, in exchange, it's worth it! ”

Ji Xinghe looked at Li Yuanba coldly: "You are also worth it now, and didn't you say that Emperor Wu III is yours?" ”

Li Yuanba was speechless and lay back on the hospital bed.

After all, they are brothers, and Li Zhengfan, who is the eldest brother, stood up.

"It's different, the first one and the second, it's really different." Li Zhengfan looked at Ji Xinghe and said: "If it weren't for you, the probability of him failing would be higher, although it has reached the limit, but just like you said, the limit is such a thing, if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist." ”

This sentence can indeed be used in this way.

A century and a half have passed since mankind created its first nuclear weapon.

Although the actual number of times it was used in the previous century was very limited, there was not a lot of nuclear radiation, and very few people who were exposed to nuclear radiation survived, and they survived because the radiation level was not high.

And after the Alien War began, the Federation really used nuclear weapons as a conventional weapon before the Empire used nuclear weapons, otherwise, before the Federation did not have the ability to send large-scale troops to the Alien Planet, how could it be possible to restrict the Empire from the alien planet to the Azure Star?

There are really not a few human beings who have been exposed to nuclear radiation because of those nuclear weapons.

But whether it is in the Azure Star or in the alien planet, none of the people who have been affected by the nuclear radiation and survived can awaken the power to breathe.

"Old man, scorpions are the only ones who."

Li Yuanba, who was lying on the hospital bed, did not have the slightest appearance of a galaxy-level mecha warrior, and the rank of major general didn't know where he was thrown to, just like a little brother who followed his eldest brother's buttocks.

After saying a common saying, and offending Ji Xinghe again, he suddenly became philosophical.

"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. The Tao has been waiting there, but if there is no one, where is the two, there is no two, where is the three, after the three, everything can be born. ”

Li Zhengfan was like a big brother who took his little brother to negotiate, and when the little brother had an idea, he said like a field: "That's the case." Old man, as a pioneer, you are really different from a latecomer like Fat Tiger. ”

Pioneers?

Ji Xinghe was about to say something when a voice sounded.

"Can I be three?"

Li Yuanba frowned: "Han Li, didn't you already make a decision before?" ”

After Ji Xinghe mastered the ability of the gift, there were only two people who were most likely to copy his path, Han Li and Li Yuanba.

Because the two of them know the most, and they are also the most like Ji Xinghe.

If he really wanted to submit an experimental application, Han Li would be easier to pass than Li Yuanba, but Han Li gave up the path of Ji Xinghe.

When Li Yuanba submitted the application, and when the Federation looked back, it was also proposed that Han Li try it first.

But Han Li chose to refuse.

But now, Han Li's tone was very calm.

He said.

"If Emperor Wu III needs a human who has mastered the ability of gifts, I will come."
