"A grain of sand of the times is a mountain when it falls on everyone's shoulders."

Watching the dejected Hall being taken away by the machine guards, Ye Ming sighed inexplicably.

"Why did you suddenly sigh?"

"According to the limited description, if nothing else, this man will most likely be the next Legion Commander, a member of the High Council." Ye Ming gently tapped the teacup: "The supreme commander of the executive legion, the kind of existence that commands hundreds of thousands of warships...... But because of our rise, we have been reduced to a prisoner...... Also ......"

Ye Ming paused as he spoke: "Okay, they asked for it." ”

He Mo smiled.

She understood what Ye Ming wanted to say and stopped - in addition to Hall's extreme uncooperation, the CNY department also lost patience and began to use some "means" on him.

Of course, these methods are reasonable and compliant, and you can even interpret it as "confessing all the information at the specified time and place".

Frankly speaking, this kind of treatment is not in line with the one used to deal with the rising star of the Imperial Legion like Hall.

But that's exactly what humans do...... On the one hand, with the recovery of the Virgo Supercluster, human beings know that the Empire's actions in the past are seriously inconsistent with the height of its technology, and it is as barbaric as a primitive tribe, and on the other hand, it also represents that human beings have begun to establish a psychological advantage over the Holy Empire, a civilization that once dominated the universe and even almost wiped out human beings, from the level of the entire civilization.

In short, I'm higher than you.

High-level civilizations can be unreasonable.

The same is true of the peace talks this time.

After receiving the meeting and peace talks from the Imperial side, humanity set the venue for the negotiations with an extremely forceful and even non-negotiable attitude.

It's on Ella Star, right at the original base of No. 31.

- If your empire is really sincere, then send people over, and the promise I can make is that "the two countries will not fight each other", and your people will come safely, and then whether they can negotiate or not, I will let them leave safely.

After a long time on the Empire's side, the humans did not give an inch, and in the end, the Empire chose to take a step back, but said that they would bring back Hall.

Humans, on the other hand, said that if the negotiations were successful, then it was inevitable that the captives would be returned according to their wishes. But if it doesn't work out, or if the Empire's fleet is still assembled, then the biggest concession humanity can do is for them to meet.

But humanity also guarantees that it is a fine tradition of mankind to treat captives favorably, and that it will not destroy a civilization at every turn, like empires.

In short...... In the past month, the Foreign Affairs Office has fully carried forward the sharp teeth and vitriolic nature of human beings, and has not departed from the rotten things of the empire's extinction of civilization in the past, and choked Liana, who was in charge of contact on the other side.

"Okay, there's still a few hours, I'll squint for a while."

Ye Ming got up and walked to the corner, pulled out the towel, revealing the covered phase change chair, he lay down on the phase change chair, and the chair quickly adjusted its posture to fit the structure of the human body.

This chair, of course, was moved from He Mo's dormitory.

“…… Then I'll go and prepare. ”

……

On the Imperial Tula-class antimatter ship Weilan, Liana is standing quietly in front of the main control screen, looking at the fleet intelligence calculated by Promised Land and collected along the way.

On the screen, the Ella system and the human fleets on the main star path are all over the starry sky.

"There are more than 3,300 ships in total."

Standing beside her, the supreme leader of this negotiation was also the Prophet Dieter who had been on Ella for a long time.

At the beginning, Prophet Dieter, as the leader of the technical support team, left a moment before the fall of Ella, which can be regarded as fulfilling his last responsibility, because everyone knows that he is not at fault for the fall of Base 31. Therefore, after returning to the Prophet's House, Prophet Dieter was not held accountable, but also lost the opportunity to further improve the rankings.

However, this time...... After deliberations between the High Council and the House of Prophets, Prophet Dieter was chartered to serve as Vice-President and lead the entire negotiating team.

No one else knew what was going on, but Prophet Dieter and Liana did.

This time the negotiations are essentially ...... It's for the sake of confusing humanity.

The prophets who are high up and high in the rankings would never have risked their lives to come to this dangerous place, because it is very likely that it will be a journey of no return.

Therefore, there are not many Imperial people in their spaceship, in addition to the two of them, there are three scholars and representatives of three legions.

Eight people are all there is on this ship.

In the eyes of the empire, if they can't talk, these eight people are outcasts.

But if you can talk about it......

"With only a thousand ships, they were able to defeat the Legion of 3,000 head-on...... It's hard to imagine how we can resist when the number of human warships comes up. Liana breathed softly, and a thick worry rose between her eyebrows: "And what's more, if we don't come...... We didn't even know that humans had such a large fleet. ”

Dieter nodded approvingly.

The Supreme Council finally agreed to the request of the human race, and the reason why hundreds of millions of galaxies came from far away was that they could take this opportunity to take a look at the size of the human fleet and the deployment along the way.

From the current point of view, just knowing the number of human warships, I am afraid that this trip is worth it in the eyes of some adults.

Time passed slowly, and when it passed through a fleet of defenses again, the Weilan received orders from humans.

Liana, as the captain of the ship, cooperated with the arrangement of the humans and began to slow down.

Immediately afterward, two human warships flew a hundred kilometers away on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, guiding the Weilan to the sky above Ella.

The Sky Temple became clearer and clearer, and finally, the Weilan arrived at the airport.

……

Walking down the spiral staircase into the familiar passage, Liana looked at the passage with a blank face, all flanked by mechanical soldiers, each with a gun in his hand.

Other than that, not a single human appears.

"Is this intimidating us?"

"I think they're afraid of us." Liana's gaze swept over the mechanical warriors, and then she saw the two mechanical warriors step out of the queue and face the eight of them.

"Hello, Mr. Dieter, Ms. Liana."

Under the cold appearance, a slightly intellectual human female voice greeted the two in imperial Chinese.

"Please complete your routine checks before entering the base."

Dieter's eyebrows raised slightly, he stared at the light screen on the robot's skull, and hummed softly, "Do you think that we came here hundreds of millions of light-years away just to bring weapons to fight you in close combat?" ”

"Sorry, please cooperate with us."

With the voice of the lead robot, the robots on both sides also stepped forward at the same time.

Dieter and Liana glanced at each other, and both exhaled heavily, then motioned for everyone behind them to be examined by the robot.

"What is this?" A robot opened Liana's briefcase and pulled out a soap-like object wrapped in an oilcloth and asked.

"Sakura cake." Liana replied with a blank face.

"I'm sorry." The robot politely apologized, then returned the briefcase to Liana while handing her a pair of headphones: "This is an instant translation tool, you should be able to use it." ”

Soon, the inspection passed, and a group of eight people walked towards the closed ring gate.

The door opened, and Director Xia appeared at the door with He Mo and a deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office.

"On behalf of the Virgo Supercluster, I welcome you."

Director Xia was smiling, and there was no hint of toughness and attitude.

……

He Mo's office.

Ye Ming opened his eyes from his sleep.

I have to say that this phase change chair is really intimate...... Not only does it fit the human body perfectly, but the speed of phase change is extremely fast, far exceeding the best mattress that humans can make.

So much so that Ye Ming thought about it, or simply go home and use it as a bed for his father - although medicine is now developed and his life span has been extended, because his father did a lot of physical work when he was young, coupled with his age, he always feels uncomfortable after sleeping now. I asked the doctor, and the doctor didn't have a problem, but just recommended a good mattress.

But Ye Ming had already changed the feather mattress for his old man, but his father felt that it was not as comfortable as the hard bed......

And this phase change metal also has a huge function - it can act as a non-powered exoskeleton for humans, so that those who are permanently disabled and unable to stand up can easily stand up with the help of exoskeletons.

"Have you arrived?" Standing up with the support of the phase change chair, Ye Ming twisted his neck, rubbed his eyes again, and looked at He Mo who was standing at the door.

"Here we are." He Mo looked at him with a smile.

"What do you mean by laughing?" Ye Ming asked with some confusion, "When is the scheduled negotiation time?" ”

"Hmm...... Let's put it this way, on the side of the Imperials, they have no concept of negotiation. He Mo smiled: "There is no concept of negotiation, and there is no concept of diplomatic activities and behaviors......

Ye Ming was slightly stunned, and immediately nodded: "Well, I can understand." In the past 10,000 years, they have been invincible in the world, and they have never negotiated with the outside world. And even internally, the complete unification of forces was completed very early, and it was a meeting at best. ”

"Yes. So, they made it straight to the point that they wanted to see you, as well as see Hall. ”

"See me? Does this mean that it is a formal negotiation? ”

"I don't know, but according to Director Xia and my analysis...... They're supposed to treat you as the head of the department. He Mo blinked and added, "Head of the department." ”

But even if He Mo added emphasis, Ye Ming still didn't come back to his senses for a while.

It is true that he is the director of the brain-computer center, where is the head of the department? Besides, even if he wants to serve in the school, he will be the dean of the School of Physics, or simply the president of the provincial school......

And then...... And he began to laugh and cry.

"The director of the galaxy?"

"Yes, yes." He Mo laughed.

“！！！” Ye Ming was speechless: "Don't make trouble, what does Director Xia mean?" ”

"What Director Xia means is that since the other party is so anxious to see you, then it's okay for you to go and find out." He Mo shrugged: "Anyway, our purpose is mainly to look at the enemy's technical plan...... And in this regard, only you know, can be sure whether the enemy fooled us or not. ”

Ye Ming pondered for a few seconds and nodded slowly.

"Then I'll wash my face."

……

After a brief wash, Ye Ming and He Mo walked out of the office.

"Did you arrange for Hall to meet with them?"

"No, this needs to be arranged after the negotiations, at least after the initial contact."

"Well, that's right, lest the other party change their minds after comparing their respective information, or make plans for the next day."

"Yes, but that Liana made a request."

"Oh? What are the requirements? ”

"She sent a box of food to Hall, which is said to be called cherry blossom cake...... He Mo said with a smile as he walked: "We left a little bit to take it for testing, and after making sure it was safe, we handed it over - it seems that this should be a kind of cake that is a specialty of the Empire." ”

Ye Ming was slightly stunned, he didn't ask if this cherry blossom cake had been tested - the intelligence department was more thoughtful than he thought.

What he had in mind was the relationship between these two people.

It seems that the relationship between this pair of imperial men and women is indeed deep.

"Hundreds of millions of light-years specialty......" Ye Ming looked at the front of the passage, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's a little interesting." ”

With that, he strode towards Liana's house.

……

Liana and Prophet Dieter sat quietly on the couch, and the two of them surveyed the room while constantly communicating with each other in pheromones.

They've been here for a year or two and know most of the rooms inside out.

But now...... These rooms are completely devoid of the original shadow. Then...... All changed to a human decoration style.

"It can be seen that human beings are a race that knows how to enjoy."

Liana gently pressed the soft sofa: "This one is more comfortable than the phase change chair. ”

"Well, but it's not as practical as the phase change chair." Prophet Dieter saw that Liana was able to communicate in words, and then he looked out the window—there was nothing to see outside the window, only stars and scenes of skylight: "Ella is the number one producer of phase change metals, and now it is given to mankind ......."

Liana frowned and asked, "I remember, phase change metals are essential materials for 0-resistance conductors, right?" ”

Prophet Dieter nodded: "So, I suggested that all the surface mines be destroyed before leaving. ”

"How?"

"With the main gun, of course." Prophet Dieter recalled the Kra people he had seen along the way, and snorted softly, "You didn't see those sinners? All of them are swaggering. ”

Liana: "......"

At that moment, the door opened.

The next moment, Ye Ming and He Mo appeared at the door.

Liana's eyes froze, she clenched her fists almost subconsciously, and then quickly got up and looked directly at the human male she had seen many times.

She knew that this human male could represent the entire human race.

Even...... It is the embodiment of the wisdom of the whole human race.
