As Professor Macardo's words fell, the originally warm atmosphere in the venue seemed to be frozen together in an instant, and everyone, even the officials who were still stirring up the atmosphere, cast incredulous glances at the worried old professor on the stage.

"Wake up, kids! It's simply a hopeless struggle! Our blind optimism and our hubris will only lead our race to ruin. ”

"Open your eyes and see! We have never been the masters of this starry sky, and breaking through the shackles of the planet and stepping into the universe is only the first step we are struggling to take. ”

"This universe is more cruel than we imagined, only with a heart of awe to explore and develop, one day our nation can truly have its own place in this starry sky."

Professor Makado's old and majestic voice echoed through the crowded room, and as his gaze swept over the crowd in front of him, their faces were surprised, angry, sad, silent, and more deeply puzzled.

At this moment, what pressed on Machado's old body was the burden of a race, and even though the outcome was unknown, he still had to break the cruel truth for his people.

"The technology of those defenders is far more advanced than ours by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, and our proud warships are worthless targets in front of them, and it is not too late to ......"

"As long as we evacuate from that Gaia star immediately and return the relics that were stolen from the mausoleum, then there may be room for manoeuvre......"

However, shortly after the almost pleading speech ended, a young general in a military uniform with a certificate of honor on his chest stood up suddenly.

"I will not allow anyone to insult my nation in front of me! Insult those glorious and brave soldiers! Not even you! ”

This sentence was like a stone, stirring up a whirlpool in the originally silent venue, and under the increasing number of dissatisfied voices, Professor Machado, who was originally called a hero, instantly became the target of public criticism.

Gradually, the conference became a trial ground for the professors, and the parliamentarians who tried to cover up the truth joined in, and began to question Machado's true purpose in a hoarse voice.

"Hang this cowardly traitor!"

"Burn him! Burn him! ”

"The majesty of the nation does not allow for slander!"

At this moment, listening to the vicious words coming from the audience, Professor Macardo finally understood what kind of madness can be transformed into an otherwise intelligent and rational nation by extreme authoritarianism, extreme nationalism, and extreme militarism.

"No...... That's not what I meant......"

No matter how Machado defended himself, everything seemed so powerless in such an environment, and seeing that the situation was becoming more and more out of control, Machado's students had to rush the professor out of the venue before the crowd could get out of control.

......

......

Inside the speeding car, looking at the crowd marching on the street, Professor Makado had indescribable complex emotions in his heart.

Right now, warships with soldiers on board are sailing from the surface of the earth into the night sky, and they are on their way to the aid of the newly colonized planet Gaia, in the name of defending the hard-won fruits of victory.

Looking at those crazy people, Machado couldn't understand why such a trivial result was enough to make a nation swell into what it is now, even though he had just wiped out some natives who were still using cold weapons in a few wars of celestial expansion, and grabbed two barren and barbaric planets.

Not far away, young soldiers are building fortifications on the ground, and as a people who have tasted the sweetness of war, the Normans have made the development of armaments a top priority for the past few decades.

Even the planet they inhabited has been transformed into a fortress world full of fortifications and artillery fortresses.

On the car radio broadcast, several hosts were joking with each other, claiming that if the comical-looking guardians of the Holy Land dared to land on their planet, they would be consumed by their sprawling fortresses and hundreds of millions of soldiers.

Hearing this, Professor Macado just muttered to himself in frustration.

"These people had no idea that they were going to die......"

In fact, from the very beginning, Machado warned more than once that it was a wrong decision to colonize the planet Gaia.

If they don't know anything about their surroundings, they should continue to investigate, or at least wait until the ambassadors of the Galactic Community arrive, and consult these ancient civilizations for advice.

However, the end result was that they simply did not have the patience to wait for Dr. Makado to contact the aliens, just after he had deciphered the language of the other party and understood what a holy place was and what a lost civilization was.

The impatient Kindred had already taken possession of the area, and had arrogantly refused communications from the Guardians of the Holy Land, not even bothering to listen.

It wasn't until Machado was the first to react to the question of how big the basket had been stabbed by those men that the Guardians of the Holy Land had sent a declaration of war here.

"So what should we do next? Professor Makado ......"

On the side, the student who was driving the vehicle asked worriedly.

"I don't know about Yum...... I don't know ......."

Not long after, the car was about to drive to the door of the research institute. Suddenly, a violent fire burst out from the garbage heap on the side of the road.

A violent roar followed, and a sudden explosion swept Professor Macardo's car off and overturned it in a clearing not far away.

It all happened so suddenly, as the stunned Professor Machado dragged his old body and struggled to climb out of the shattered car window.

Not far away, I saw several vague figures slowly approaching him with guns in hand, and the student who was driving on the side had his throat cut by the debris from the explosion, and he was struggling to fall in a pool of blood.

Obviously, those people are here to punish themselves......

At this moment, looking at the still twitching corpse in front of him, Professor Makado, who was lying on the ground, had completely lost the last trace of obsession with this nation.

He didn't understand that he had given so much, whether it was him or the race he was dedicated, everything should not have ended like this.

But just when Professor Makado was reluctant and ready to die......

The No. 8 research ship, which had been observing the situation at the scene, knew that now was the best time to strike, and with a few lasers easily penetrating the bodies of those attackers.

In Professor Macardo's astonished gaze, a skull-like drone that he had never seen before gradually emerged from the night sky.

Then, under his gaze, the drone floating in the night sky slowly floated next to the dead student, and after removing the fragments inserted in his trachea, it was accompanied by a warm glow.

Soon, the student, who was supposed to be mortally wounded, struggled to get up from the ground, and the wound on his neck was gone.

What a miracle this is......

The next moment, in the professor's shocked emotions, the skull drone had already arrived in front of him, and at the same time, he heard a sacred and majestic electronic voice coming from its communicator.

"Our great gods have taken notice of you, and the Most High Being has now decided to grant you a chance, a chance to access the infinite truth and the roots of the universe."

"Now answer me whether you are willing to accept this hard-won favor."

......

......

"I'm willing to ......"
