Chapter 62 - Zerg conspiracy
Gu Shaoqing's eyes glowed with frenzy and excitement, making Chu Yu tremble.
"Wait until tomorrow's training class and show it to me." Gu Shaoqing stared at Chu Yu's bracelet with a frantic and straightforward gaze, "I heard that you got Hei Sha, I'm looking forward to it."
Chu Yu pouted, and had to put aside his curiosity and look at his new dormitory.
"This won’t work, if I can't get out of Mecha City for four years, wouldn't the wedding I planned be gone?" He patted his head and suddenly remembered something important.
Fang Shiyan said as a matter of course: "Then do it in Mecha City."
Gu Shaoqing's eyes are even more frantic: "Having a wedding in Mecha City is probably the most romantic wedding in the world."
??
Chu Yu really can't understand this kind of straight-alpha romance. Is the cold machine better than the green mountains and fresh waters outside?
Chu Yu felt that this kind of thing still had to be discussed with his own admiral. He was about to call up the light screen and suddenly remembered that they had not added each other as friends on the light screen.
"..."
That kind of relationship has already happened, and they haven't added each other yet!!
Now he can't wait to bury his face in the bed and not come out to meet people.
"I should have missed more than a week of classes. Is there anything I need to pay attention to in Mecha City?" After sinking in, Chu Yu decided to focus on himself.
"Yes, the R area is a forbidden area, and it is forbidden for any blood relatives to enter for any reason. The T area is an experimental area, and only those with a certified ID pattern can enter. The mecha operation class is divided into general training class, actual combat drill class, and technical theory. All of these classes need to be learned within one year, and the remaining three years... is to go out and officially carry out the exploration mission." Fang Shiyan introduced.
"Exploration mission?"
"Yes." Gu Shaoqing returned to his usual calm and rational appearance, "Explore alien life and find alien civilizations other than Zerg."
Chu Yu wondered: "Why? Can't the contact with the Zerg prove that it is impossible for us to coexist with alien civilizations?"
Gu Shaoqing glanced at Chu Yu with a smile and pushed his glasses: "This is the decision made by the admiral."
... Admiral?
"If we are lucky, the third civilization will bring checks and balances to the two civilizations." Gu Shaoqing explained, "It's like A and B are fighting. At this time, another hostile force C appears. Obviously, A and B continue to fight, which will benefit C."
Chu Yu frowned: "But it needs to be established under the assumption that all three parties are equivalent. The gap between us and the Zerg is huge, and this kind of balance is impossible to establish."
Gu Shaoqing opened his mouth slightly: "It seems that you missed the important meeting this morning."
Chu Yu tilted his head in confusion.
Fang Shiyan had to tap twice in the air, called up the light screen, hooked Chu Yu's neck and leaned on the sofa behind him: "This is the latest discovery of the Admiral and the Aviation Piloting Department Research Institute."
The image of Shen Jingheng quickly appeared in the center of the screen.
Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and his face flushed slightly.
Shen Jingheng was still calm and rational, he said lightly: "After the research on the frontline of the Zerg by the team of the Aviation Piloting Department Research Institute, we finally found that the Zerg has always coveted the genes of our Protoss."
Gene?
"After analyzing the social structure of cuneiform worms, we have confirmed that the entire zerg society is controlled by the cerebral worm as a whole, and the worker worms are without any thought reproduce and evolve to adapt to the environment and achieve the purpose of survival of the entire race. There is only one cerebral worm that controls the entire insect star." Shen Jingheng said indifferently, "And each of us Protoss have the ability to think independently, which is not available in the zerg society and is scarce."
Combined with what Shen Jingheng said, Chu Yu immediately understood why the Zerg did not aggressively attack the SCY-II galaxy but chose to use transparent cerebral worms to parasitize the Protoss.
They are simulating human behavior!
In addition to simulation, it is to understand and adapt to human society, gain insight into humanities and historical development... More importantly, if two people parasitized by transparent cerebral worms combine, they may be able to unravel in the process of evolutionary human reproduction. The code of the gene, find out the gene pairing that generates the mind of the Protoss... Finally, simulate it.
——They are stealing genes!!!
On the other hand, after the transparent cerebral worm achieves its purpose, it will announce the news lurking in the high-level officers, and the Protoss will fall into complete chaos, and will eventually self-destruct due to mutual suspicion.
Shen Jingheng in the light screen was still speaking calmly: "So the good news is for their evolution, the Protoss' genes are still useful to them, they have plans for us, and they won't kill us all, the bad news is we found through the observatory that the nebulae outside the Zerg galaxy left traces of their passage."
Shen Jingheng let out a long breath, and then Chu Yu's father, Marshal Chu, took over.
Chu Yu had never seen his father's serious face.
"The Zerg army is expected to reach the SCY-II system in seven years. The war is about to begin."
Chu Yu gritted his teeth and stared at his calm father.
The war has never stopped, starting from the moment the transparent cerebral worm came to the SCY-II galaxy more than ten years ago. Now it's just that the Zerg are done preparing and are waiting for the time to wipe out the Protoss.
"We made two plans, but after discussions with the Institute of Strategic Studies, the second plan was abolished, leaving only the first plan. Due to some special reasons, the content of the plan will not be announced. Soldiers...whatever happens, don't doubt the decision made by the commander." The marshal exhaled a long breath, "We will fight for survival next, please be fully prepared, all soldiers, and no one should back down."
That’s it for the video. This is just what happened in the short hour that Chu Yu walked from Shen Jingheng's residence all the way to the school
The world suddenly changed.
From learning that the Zerg will arrive in the SCY-II galaxy seven years later, everything around them seems to suddenly become unreal.
Gu Shaoqing patted Chu Yu's back, and said lightly: "Admiral is in command of the Aviation Piloting Department, our mission goal is to find alien life forms."
No, it still doesn't make sense.
How could he make such a reckless judgment when there are no known signs of alien life forms other than the Zerg away from the SCY-II system?
Second, even if there are aliens, how can he be sure that third-party aliens will be evenly matched with us? Too weak or too strong can not play a check and balance effect.
Chu Yu was puzzled, and at this moment, Fang Shiyan added: "As soon as the news was announced, the people were automatically divided into two factions. One faction believed that a group of Protoss should be selected in advance to escape the galaxy, just like before, this time We have enough time to prepare, to take more people, and to build more drifting arks for the Protoss to drift in the universe; the other faction believes that we should face the enemy head-on, and we can no longer lose the second a home."
Gu Shaoqing pushed his glasses and said indifferently, "The two factions have been arguing endlessly. In the end, the marshal asked the emperor to ban all escape plans."
Chu Yu didn't understand anymore. It was obviously the best choice to flee and avoid the war. At least it could leave the fire for the survival of the Protoss. How could he wipe out the last hope?
Seeing the doubts on Chu Yu's face, Fang Shiyan looked at the sky outside the window and sighed with a smile: "Don't you understand? This is to stabilize the military's heart."
"Once we have figured out a way to retreat, we soldiers will naturally think that as long as we can't fight, we will retreat. How can we win the battle? When facing the Zerg, I am afraid that just seeing the dense Zerg army will only make us frightened, leading us to run away."
"This is one aspect." Gu Shaoqing continued to add, "Now everyone has no pure blood division, and everything is fair and just. We live in an era that pays great attention to human rights... It is the most terrifying to choose who has the right to live. Society will fall into chaos, and before the Zerg invades, we have already died because of infighting. Therefore, it is better to let everyone stop this idea and only respond to the enemy head-on, not retreat."
When Gu Shaoqing said this, Chu Yu already understood.
Who doesn't want to live?
When the time comes to choose, who should be damned?
Should Alphas and Omegas of good blood have more chances to survive other than Alphas and Omegas of mixed blood?
Should the rich live and the poor die?
Chu Yu didn't even dare to imagine that in the sick society in the future, perhaps in order for the Protoss to reproduce, Omega might become the original reproductive tool again - this is normal, and it is the nature of life to reproduce.
In order to prevent the terrifying doomsday from happening in the future, they can only win, they can only face it, and they cannot lose or escape.
To prevent the emperor from provoking public anger and let the people not lose confidence in the emperor, his father took the initiative to make this decision, and the abuse on the Internet was overwhelming to Marshal Chu.
Chu Yu silently took out his light screen and searched for the proposal of #MarshalBanningAllEscapePlansProposalPassed. Those filthy swearing remarks instantly made the once-glamorous marshal down from the altar.
"What a shit decision, step down if you are weak and incapable! Why deprive us of hope for survival?"
"Trash!!"
With a common object to deflect anger, the voice of humanity has become more united than ever.
Chu Yu clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and his body trembled.
It doesn't matter that he was ridiculed for eighteen years, but he absolutely will not allow anyone to slander his father.
What do you know...
In addition to facing the enemy, his father also has to consider the survival and reproduction of the entire Protoss, and also think about the social unrest that will be caused, but also to face the possible internal enemies at all times.
The enemy is in the open and in the dark. In such a battle, he has to carry it alone to command and formulate a battle plan.
No one has the right to slander him!
Chu Yu restrained his childishness, looked at the two and asked, "What do you think?"
Gu Shaoqing smiled: "The marshal said, no matter what happens, don't doubt the decision made by the commander."
Fang Shiyan nodded: "A chess player who doesn't play the normal chess path is the real strategist. If we don't trust our generals, then this battle doesn't even need to be played."
Chu Yu really wanted to do something for his father, and also wanted to do something for Shen Jingheng, but found that with his current ability, he couldn't do anything.
—No, there are things he can do.
—Executing an order.
"Where is the mecha training ground?" Chu Yu asked.
【The author has something to say: This passage about escapism is inspired by "Three-Body Problem/三体", really appreciate it. From here, the story will gradually get tense and progress slowly, I hope everyone likes it.】
