"What are your plans? I want to know the specific plan."
The two came to another room. Compared with the previous one, this room was not clearly marked on the transport ship. It obviously had a different purpose, so naturally there were no monitoring instruments that could be seen everywhere.
Li Yi just came in and took a quick glance, and knew that this second lieutenant officer of the Hongling Empire did not do this on a whim.
He had already planned it.
Glancing at the various information and images written densely all over the room, Li Yi couldn't help but speak.
"It seems that you want to do this for more than a day or two. Is that person such a big threat to your life?"
"Actually, there is."
Lin Zhiyang smiled and introduced directly without any unnecessary words.
"You are not from Hongling. Naturally, you don't know what kind of behemoths these privileged people look like to ordinary people."
Then, following Lin Zhiyang's eloquent talk, Li Yi finally understood what kind of existence this huge interstellar empire was.
It turns out that in the early days of civilization, Hongling, like other human civilizations, focused on developing technology, and there was no such thing as superpowers and martial arts.
These things that were falsified in ancient times were replaced by modern science and became people's reading material after dinner.
This situation lasted until Hongling truly entered space and began the era of interstellar colonization.
"Oh? So, it doesn't take long for supernatural powers and martial arts to appear?"
Li Yishi knew that once the development of science and technology begins, it cannot stop and will accelerate even faster. In the period of great development of science and technology, a major invention every year and a major discovery every half a year are not some shocking fantasy.
But a real fact.
Because of years of accumulation, when it comes time to produce results, many results that have never been announced to the public will appear together, which creates the illusion that technology is changing with each passing day.
In fact, they are all inevitable results after human beings accumulate basic science.
That period of time could be described as a real technological dividend period for the later Hongling Empire.
All kinds of new inventions have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The day before, I was immersed in the joy of traveling around the sky on a rocket.
The next day I boarded the spaceship directly.
Ever since, that era was like a great technological leap forward, and everyone was working like crazy.
A wide variety of products let human imagination run wild.
Among them, the most anticipated one, which can also be said to have eluded human imagination for the longest time, is the establishment of the Starship Fleet.
Human beings have always had a dream of flying into the sky.
Ever since we saw birds flying freely in the sky, this dream has been engraved deep in human genes.
When the first airplane was invented, mankind did not stop the pace of research.
Even though aircraft for various purposes were invented one after another, mankind has never stopped.
Conquering the sky is only the first step. With the advancement of science and technology, humans have discovered a broader world.
universe!
This mysterious space that can encompass the endless imagination of human beings constantly stimulates human beings. Almost all future themes cannot escape the sky above human beings.
The universe, as the mysterious space that human beings most yearn for and are most willing to explore, has always occupied the most important proportion in the history of civilization development.
At this time, Hongling's first space fleet came into being.
"From what you say, it must not be going well."
Hearing this, Li Yi asked.
"Yes, to be honest, this setback was originally expected, but the losses caused by it were also unexpected."
"Is it related to supernatural powers?"
"No one knew this at the beginning, or maybe they underestimated how dangerous the universe was to humans at the time."
"Actually, many people have thought of this and taken corresponding protective measures. This is the first time in the history of Hongling that the fleet has entered outer space. The preparations made are not sufficient, but even so, it still happened. Accident."
"Encountered an alien creature?"
Li Yi asked teasingly, and Lin Zhiyang, who was rare, did not reply, but nodded.
"To be precise, it is just an infectious organism. As for why it is said to be an organism and not a virus, it is because according to subsequent research, it was discovered that this virus, which was initially thought to be a virus, actually has thinking."
A thinking virus?
This is the first time Li Yi has heard of this statement.
"So, this creature is very tiny?"
"It's similar to a virus. It has to be seen clearly under a microscope. This also led to the fact that in the early stages of the outbreak, everyone was helpless and could only deal with it through negative means such as antibiotics and disinfection. But actual proof , this approach is useless.”
"So this fleet?"
Li Yi thought to himself, could the entire army be wiped out like this?
"There are very few survivors, but there are some."
After a pause, Lin Zhiyang took a deep breath, as if the history he was going to talk about next was the key.
"Of the three thousand people in the fleet, only three people managed to escape and survived in the end."
Lin Zhiyang's next words finally made Li Yi understand why he wanted to tell this period of history and why Hongling would later develop into an empire.
"Actually, the three people were not in good condition at the beginning. After being sent back from the transit space station, they had a high fever and were in a coma."
"The various functional indicators of the body dropped significantly. He was sent to the ICU as soon as he was sent to the ground. It lasted for a long time without any improvement. People tried many methods, but not only did the person not wake up, but he continued day by day. As the disease continued to deteriorate, even the top doctors at the time believed that these three people would not be able to return to normal even if they were finally saved, and finally chose to give up."
"They chose a day to announce the news in front of the whole world and announced they were giving up treatment."
"At that time, the news shocked the whole world. People were unwilling to believe that a plan that had been planned for such a long time would eventually end in the annihilation of the entire army. Many irrational people even found the TV station and tried to stop the officials from doing this, but soon Obviously, this is in vain.”
"Long before the announcement, the official had a long internal discussion, and finally chose such a plan that seemed somewhat incomprehensible at the time."
"In fact, not only at that time, but even now, many people who don't know the inside story still can't understand it."
Lin Zhiyang glanced at Li Yi, who was already lost in thought, and said this.
"So, the official reason for doing this is valid?"
"But why didn't you say it at the beginning? Why hasn't it been officially announced even after so long?"
Li Yi raised such a question.
In fact, not only did he want to know this question, many locals in Hongling also wanted to know the answer to this question.
But no one gave them an answer.
"Because there is no way to say it, and if you say it, I'm afraid the impact will be worse, so the officials chose this method of pretending to be deaf. Of course, the explanation they gave is that human beings must have the courage to admit failure, rather than Trying to cover it up.”
When Li Yi heard this, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"That's right, if we talk about superficial skills, there is really no civilization that can compare with humans."
Since you don't want to find a reason, then use this nihilistic truth to cover it up!
But this can only deceive ordinary people who have stayed in the information cocoon for too long.
To a truly wise man, one can see right away that this is nothing more than an attempt to conceal the truth.
"At that time, someone took action to find the truth."
Lin Zhiyang looked at Li Yi's searching eyes and said this.
Then Li Yi asked a question.
"So what's the truth?"
