Chapter 32: The Talent for Communication
"As I said, psionic energy is extremely dangerous."
"As we speak, there may be a child born under the oppression of a warlord who awakens an unstable psionic talent, and then this child will go berserk because his parents were beaten by the warlord's lackeys, and then cause terrible consequences......"
The Emperor was still talking, but not as agitated as he had been, and he sat back in his chair, gradually falling silent.
Qin Mo didn't speak either.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that the emperor suddenly spoke, "Do you think psionic energy is dangerous?" ”
Qin Mo was stunned for a moment when he asked this question, and then subconsciously nodded: "This is undoubtedly very dangerous." ”
The emperor nodded, and was silent for half a minute before speaking: "Let's just agree." ”
Qin Mo looked at the emperor in confusion.
The Emperor was well aware of the dangers of psionic energy and subspace, and he must have pondered it more than once, and perhaps even witnessed a terrible psionic catastrophe more than once, and he had already made up his mind about psionic energy.
In that case, how could you be so excited just now as if you had discovered the danger of psionic energy for the first time, and witnessed the occurrence of psionic catastrophe for the first time?
Qin Mo rarely had this sense of doubt when he got along with the emperor, and the emperor's words now really couldn't fix him.
"Since psionic energy is so dangerous...... Ahem. The Emperor suddenly spoke again, with a pensive expression, "I think we should think of a way to prevent the psionic catastrophe from happening. ”
And rightfully so.
Qin Mo temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart about the emperor's words just now, and then thought of a solution with the emperor.
"I know the dangers of subspace as well as you do, just as I told you when we were chatting in a cabin in the Himalayas."
"So I've been thinking about how to guard against the threat of unstable psionic talent for a long time, and I have several plans, but it's a little difficult to deal with psionic related things through material technology, and my plan can only be to eliminate psionic reactions after detecting them for the time being, and I can't prevent them in advance."
"But after we became allies, I sometimes thought that maybe you could use your psionic energy and my material technology to make something that could detect and directly eliminate unstable psionics."
Qin Mo talked about his thoughts.
The corners of the emperor's mouth rose imperceptibly, and then nodded: "The right idea, you and I coincide." ”
"We can do that while we're working on the Thunder Warrior Improvement Program." Qin Mo nodded, and at the same time, he suddenly wondered in his heart whether the emperor's excited words just now were to achieve the current situation, that is, to study the anti-psionic thing with him.
But Qin Mo immediately felt that something was wrong, because this kind of thing could be done naturally, and the emperor should know that he didn't need to be excited to break a bunch of things first, just to propose a cooperation project that would inevitably arise between allies.
"If the device for detecting psionics is made, I'll test it on Terra right away, and we'll have to find all psykers." As he spoke, the Emperor glanced at Qin Mo, "If there are psionic beings among my candidates for the forbidden army, I will not hesitate to eliminate them along with the soul." ”
"Of course, it's a bit dangerous for a psyker to become a candidate for the Praetorian Army." Qin Mo nodded again.
The Emperor was silent again, and after a moment he suddenly spoke, as he had just said: "There may also be psionics among your people, if ......"
"It does exist." Qin Mo did not shy away from it, "Of course this ......"
Halfway through speaking, Qin Mo suddenly realized that the emperor was actually waiting for him here.
The emperor wanted to propose a plan to screen and deal with psionic people, and then let this plan be strictly implemented in the Himalayas, the Dragon Kingdoms and the Eagle Kingdoms, and of course it was not enough to screen the noble children of the Himalayas and the warlords who returned to him, but also the civilians who belonged to him Qin Mo.
So this was actually a discussion, discussing whether Qin Mo could accept the screening and treatment of psionic beings among his own people.
Realizing this, Qin Mo quickly realized that this was not necessarily the emperor's own thoughts, and it was estimated that it might have been mentioned to him by Machado.
This time, it is very likely that the emperor was used as a messenger by Machado.
"No......" Qin Mo showed a helpless look on his face, "If you want to screen psionic people, just say it, and I don't protect psionic people, why do you pretend to be resentful and excited and say so much, just to go around such a big circle to propose a matter?" ”
"......" the emperor was silent.
When Qin Mo was about to speak, the emperor got up and said, "Since you agreed, then it's decided." ”
"Nope." Qin Mo got up and blocked the door, "You have to tell me your mental activities, otherwise I won't cooperate with you!" ”
"Why do you want to know my mental activity? You can read minds, and you know exactly what I think. The Emperor frowned.
"No, I have to say it." Qin Mo still didn't get out of the way, "If you encounter something similar in the future, as long as you think of today's confession, you riddler will realize that there are some things that don't need to go around in circles and let others guess what you're thinking, and then have something to say." I've been pondering for a long time what you're going to say, and you can't let me have the same pondering a second time! ”
The Emperor was silent.
The two were at a stalemate for about five minutes.
This is not the first time the Emperor has encountered such a situation, but if someone else had asked him to confess, he would have solved the problem with psionic powers, rather than staying in an embarrassing situation.
Since he had stopped confiding his heart to others, no one could let him speak reluctantly, because if he didn't want to, he wouldn't have to say anything to anyone.
But...... Recall what Macado said, and then consider the possibility of a faster-than-light way of material in the future of this collaboration......
The emperor roared in his heart: Machado, what are you doing? Do the Terravat people use you to mix the production line? Why aren't you where you should be!
"I, I think, after all, we are a cooperative relationship, screening and dealing with your people is a serious matter, if this matter is brought up directly, you probably wouldn't agree to it so happily. Maybe. ”
"I discussed it with Machado, and we felt that with your character, we probably wouldn't agree to this matter with pleasure, so he asked me to be tactful and clarify the stakes."
“……”
Seeing that the emperor was suddenly silent again, Qin Mo stopped pressing step by step and made way to leave the secret room.
Before the emperor left, Qin Mo said: "I do value the people who follow me, I do have a strong sense of morality, but I will not ignore everything just to pursue moral self-satisfaction, if there is something that requires me to make a difficult choice, I will make a rational choice." So it's not right for you and Machado to think that I won't agree to this. ”
The Emperor nodded.
"Next time, if there is anything like this, express what you think directly like me, say everything simply and directly, and don't add unnecessary communication barriers, okay?" Qin Mo said.
The Emperor thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"It's a gift to understand the importance of communication and to be able to overcome communication barriers."
The door to the chamber was suddenly pushed open, and Makado entered the chamber with the sound of words.
Then Macado glanced at the two.
"I've set up the production line for the Terrawats."
"Now don't embarrass the people I follow and serve, let's go back to the Himalayas first."
