Chapter 373 Great River System Council

Although he was a little annoyed because he heard too many "don't know" words in this conversation, the leader actually didn't really intend to do anything to this subordinate, so after expressing his anger slightly, he chose to expose it, but it was

The 'slightly' may seem a bit heavy for the octopus monster.

"There is no way to crack their genetic code, and there is no way to make a fuss about cell proliferation. So it must be impossible to use external means to cultivate them, right?"

In the constant roar of the plasma ocean, the false silence was maintained for a moment. It was not until he thought that the octopus monster had tasted enough fear that the leader continued the conversation again.

"Even so, you actually made the judgment that you have the potential to be a soldier? There must be some conditions that I don't know about?"

"I dare not doubt your wisdom, but I do have some superficial discoveries that I would like to report to you."

"Cut the nonsense and get straight to the point."

"Yes. As a so-called 'self-reproducing biological weapon', humans can reproduce asexually as long as there is sufficient material supply;"

"Although there are only three babies at a time, the growth from the embryonic stage to what they call the 'infant stage' can reach as fast as ten general days with the supply of a large amount of materials;"

"In the future, to reach the 'sub-adult stage', which is the stage we are at now, three general years at the earliest will be enough if supplies are sufficient;"

The octopus waved its tentacles vigorously and expressed its meaning as fast as possible, so as not to make the leader angry at it again due to the slow information efficiency.

"They are endowed with precocious characteristics and are very sensitive to 'operational' knowledge, and have a strong ability to learn in this regard;"

"We have tried, and even a young human being who was just fifteen days old learned to control mechas and pilot small spaceships after only a short period of training;"

"Although no basic evaluation has been conducted on juveniles and sub-adults, the results of memory reading also show that they are capable of meeting most war needs. They are truly mature biological weapons, even better than those in the hands of the Galaxy Council.

Better;"

"Moreover, obedience is written into their genes and they will not take the initiative to betray the forces they are loyal to. Coupled with the weakness of the 'Main Sect Master' in mind control technology, our existing methods should be enough to tame them.

"

~~~~~~~~~~~

After an early period of darkness in which people were not treated as human beings, the landlord forces became inexplicably benevolent one day. Human beings were no longer imprisoned in a closed dungeon-like environment, but gained a certain degree of freedom.

And was assigned an area inside the barrier as a base.

Then 'English' was also entered into the translator, allowing humans to complete the understanding and application of the common language of the river system through a machine that needs to be hung on the ear.

Perhaps in order to take care of human emotions, the liaison officer assigned by the group to humans was a one-eyed humanoid. Although the big black eyes were still a bit long, the well-informed humans quickly understood

Got used to it.

On this day, humans who had just escaped from suffering followed the one-eyed monster to the station for the first time, and listened to it give a very general explanation of the precautions on the way, which was probably where not to go and where not to see. When receiving the request to cooperate with the experiment

You must go there as soon as possible.

As they nodded in agreement, the one-eyed man continued to emphasize the precautions,

"From now on, we need to use the universal unit of the galaxy, whether it is time, weight, etc., do you understand? You are just a group of backward races whose home planet was destroyed. You should be grateful for accepting the baptism of advanced civilization, do you understand?"

From this very down-to-earth translation, humans can clearly feel the sense of superiority contained in its words, even if they don't know that the one-eyed monster's mother civilization is just a surface race, and that it was just a trafficked person in the beginning.

They were just slaves so far, but that didn't stop a little anger from rising in their hearts.

"Humph, an advanced civilization? It's just a group of strong men living in the shadows."

"Ronaldo, shut up!"

The leader with the Chinese character face immediately shouted lowly, interrupting his subordinates' indiscriminate remarks in time, and immediately turned his head, nodded and bowed and said to the one-eyed monster,

"We understand that the Group has given mankind new life, and we will definitely be grateful for it and not hesitate to die."

Although I don’t know how the translator translated this sentence, the sudden rise of anger of the one-eyed monster subsided because of it. Of course, there may be other unknown factors at work.

But in short, in addition to using its big black one-eye to stare at the muttering human for a while, it then uttered a syllable that represented a cold snort, turned its head and continued to move forward, but in

After that, they didn't say another word along the way.

Therefore, the middle-aged leader glared angrily at his subordinates who were talking nonsense, and hurriedly led more than a hundred humans to follow suit.

Perhaps because carbon-based life is the mainstream in the universe, most areas above and below the barrier have an atmospheric environment similar to that of the Earth, and the differences in gravity and air pressure are not difficult for humans, who are essentially biological weapons, to adapt;

So at this moment, humans who are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of 'power' can restrain their impatience at not being able to jump tens of meters and continue to move forward with the fragile one-eyed creature in front of them.

After walking through the passages for a while, and then riding the high-speed traffic corridor in the barrier for a while, they finally arrived at the assigned station.

Although it is not too big, the Communist Party of Manchuria only has a share of about 100,000 square meters, but it has been transformed by the landlord forces according to their preferences, making it the most suitable place for today's mankind.

living environment.

Although they can adapt to high temperatures and high pressures, and are highly resistant to low temperatures and low pressures, as intelligent creatures they must also have requirements on the level of 'psychological comfort', so they will instinctively pursue a physical sensation similar to that of the Earth's mother planet.

;

But since what we are pursuing is 'body sensation', we will no longer maintain a 1:1 equality with the Earth in terms of gravity and air pressure. Instead, our second home planet 'Planet Vegeta' in the cannon fodder era is more in line with current needs;

Therefore, the generous landowner forces deliberately reproduced the planet's gravity and air pressure environment that is 20 times that of the Earth's complex according to human memory, and specially created a suitable temperature of 26 degrees Celsius relative to the Earth's measurement method.

"Wow! These alien monsters. The aliens are so generous. It's really comfortable here!"

After sending away the liaison officer, the human beings who breathed a long sigh of relief finally relaxed slightly, and felt the new environment and the hemispherical residences in front of them, and for the first time in a long time, they felt a little happy.

exclamation.

"Hmph! The generosity of shit is not even comparable to a hair of our Frieza Legion. It seems they are just a group of bandits living in the shadows."

Naturally, there are still voices of dissatisfaction. The human who had no regard for the overall situation said in a disdainful tone,

"Humph, I think the supreme leader loved to exterminate such insects. If Lord Frieza hadn't died in the sneak attack of the Reaper army, how could we have ended up like this?"

"Okay Ronaldo, just say less. Everyone feels uncomfortable, but what can we do now? We can only take one step and see what happens."

Sighing and patting Ronaldo's shoulder gently, the middle-aged man with a Chinese-style face pointed at the instrument on his ear that looked like a legion combat effectiveness detector. In fact, it was indeed a counterfeit translator that looked like that, and warned,

"You must be careful in your words and deeds. Who knows if this thing has a monitoring function?"

During the conversation, more than a hundred humans who entered the largest hemispherical building located in the center of the station sat down around the circular table and looked at the steady man with a Chinese character face. According to previous military habits, they began to wait for the squad leader to speak first.

"Huh." After letting out a long sigh of relief, the man with a Chinese-character face and a steady face said, "The top priority is to integrate the intelligence first. Have you gained anything in these days?"

Hearing this, everyone could only shake their heads in helplessness. They had just gotten the translator and escaped from the fate of being laboratory mice. How could they possibly have any 'intelligence harvest' to speak of?

And while a bit of hesitation gradually filled this space, the surveillance operation launched in the inexplicable area on the other side of the base was actually being carried out in real time.

"Yes, leader, they are not very obedient."

"Yes, the fluctuations in mind detection are also in line with expectations, and the deeper hidden emotions are also very real."

"Okay. Okay, yes, I will do exactly what you ask."

The Inspector General, who turned off the quantum communicator in his hand and was covered in blue-gold carapace, ordered to the lower-level subordinates around him,

"Start the next plan and execute them as soon as possible after they have reached their maximum division limit. We need to re-cultivate a batch of Primarchs without past memories."

"Yes, sir!"

Similarly, when this secret reshuffle plan was formulated, the elders of the Republic who were in different areas and maintained different physical conditions in the interval 100-850 light-years away were also in an extremely wide area.

are conducting targeted consultations.

~~~~~~~~~

"Let's summarize the information first. Although the harvest is not very abundant due to various practical reasons, it is enough to give us a basic understanding of the general environment."

In the virtual world, Nesta is telling all the participants of the National Assembly based on the investigation results of his thread clone,

"The large river system we are in is governed by an organization called the 'River System Council'. This organization is basically in charge of all public order in the river system, and is divided into 2 auditoriums and 6 standing seats.

, an unknown number of weighted seats, and an equally unknown number of participating seats;”

"According to rumors, the auditorium seems to be representatives of super extraterrestrial civilizations with cross-river system-level navigation capabilities. Legend has it that they are only responsible for conveying the will of their own civilization and handling business matters, and will not interfere with the order affairs of the river system;

"

"Of course, this is only what the explicit intelligence shows. The actual facts are still unknown. At least, it is difficult for me to believe in the 'non-interference' point."

There was a state of silence in the parliament. Everyone was listening intently to Nesta's report, and the latter also continued to speak while listening.

"Then there are 6 permanent seats, four of which are the most powerful civilizations in this system. They each independently occupy two star clusters, and their affiliated forces are spread across more than ten surrounding star clusters, directly or

Indirectly controls nearly 14% of the star field in the large river system;"

"The other permanent seats are occupied by two single beings."

'boom!'

Finally, when Nesta said the words "two individuals", the previous order in the council could no longer be maintained, and almost all the elves felt incredible about this.

Because the strong is strong and the weak is weak, the power of technology and collective is also fully demonstrated in the forces controlled by the Republic. Didn't they also rely on the power of the whole to easily overturn the Beast King and the more powerful Near God?

What;

It is precisely because of this experience that they were shocked and confused by the information they heard at this time. The elves could not figure out what kind of life intensity could be used in the river system governance organization based on 'civilization'.

Each of them occupies a permanent seat based on the concept of a single entity.

'Crack!'

The clear snap of fingers resounded throughout the audience. Azshara used her authority to forcefully calm the minds of all participants, and Nesta continued to explain,

"The forces we infiltrated have the attributes of a 'criminal group', so their networks are basically isolated from the outside world. The information transmission methods between the various bases of the forces cannot be analyzed temporarily due to different technical routes;"

"So although we are very curious about the owners of these two single seats and what kind of life strength and shape attributes they have, we still cannot know the more specific situation;"

"I can only see a rough outline of my abilities through gossip."

"One of them is called 'Phenomena'. It occupied a star field with a huge amount of matter in the river system hundreds of thousands of years ago, and turned it into a restricted area isolated from the outside world;"

"Yes, its territory is even within our deep dive field of view. It is the magnificent nebula 70,000 light-years away from here, and what we see is what its territory looked like 70,000 years ago;"

"It is said that except for the representatives of the auditorium who can pass freely there, even the civilized permanent seats are not allowed to enter its territory. It seems that in the long years before the establishment of the council, it has also fought with the other permanent seats today.

A battle;”

"The authenticity of this battle is unknown, and the outcome is unknown, but at least it is still firmly occupying there and became one of the permanent representatives after the establishment of the council. It must be indeed an extremely powerful special organism?"

"The other single entity is called 'existence', but its territory is unknown, and its overall shape is unknown. It is only known that it will participate in the council meeting through a beam of condensed light as a medium;"

"As for its past achievements, rumors only leave such a widely circulated record."

"A destructive beam of light reaching all over the sky and the earth struck directly at the capital star field of the Seral civilization from nowhere, and enveloped it for ten universal sidereal days;"

"When its brilliance ended, hundreds of stars and all conventional matter including surrounding dust disappeared, leaving behind only a desolate miracle called the Seral Hollow."

"This sentence is all we know at the moment. This event seems to have happened in the years before the establishment of the Council. The 'Serral Hollow' in it is blocked by the central belt of the river system and is in our way.

Observation blind spots;”

"One more thing, the intelligent race to which this civilization belongs is an innately powerful plasma life form that was born in the stars. However, within just a few thousand years after the disappearance of its capital star field, their remaining forces were destroyed by surrounding civilizations.

All that is eaten is eaten up, and the rest are left to survive as interstellar refugees, criminals in the shadows, and slaves used for fun;"

"But since the establishment of the Council, the enslavement of intelligent life has been prohibited by the laws of the Great River System. Nowadays, at least on the surface, it is impossible to buy slaves of civilized races. But from the force we are lurking now, we know that against

The enslavement of civilized races and even worse acts are still carried out secretly."

"As for the several powerful seats, they seem to be the overlords of their respective star clusters, but they seem to be unable to fully control the other star clusters around them due to limitations in strength or rules. They seem to only have indirect control over other surrounding star clusters through trade and other means.

Influence;"

"And neither they nor the six permanent civilizations or individuals mentioned above seem to have expanded their actual control area for countless years, and they only work on their own one-third of an acre;"

"Although their territory is very vast, and they still need the profession of 'explorer' to this day, this current situation still makes me feel a little inconsistent."

"But there are also legends that say that when the Council was established, representatives of all parties jointly signed the 'Great River Treaty', and subsequent participants must also sign this treaty to be recognized;"

"If the rumors are true, then perhaps this treaty will be related to the expansion of civilized power, but the specific content still needs us to continue to explore."

"As for the number of 'participation seats' in the future, we don't know the specific number yet, but it should be at least hundreds or thousands?"

"Somewhat strangely, some civilizations seem to have obtained their seats before they could even leave their home planet. Some even were still in the 'era of sharp metal weapons', 'the era of chemical energy weapons', and 'the era of surface weapons' until the eve of their joining.

The era of multinational melee';"

"But even so, they have gained a seat in civilization due to the discoveries of 'individual explorers' and 'group explorers', and in a short period of time they have jumped to the era of inner star systems and even the era of secondary star clusters.

Individuals or groups have received seemingly generous material rewards."

"In such cases, some civilizations have changed their language to the common language of the river system, or other types of languages ​​that are compatible with their own communication modes, and some civilizations seem to still be using the original language;"

"The same is true in terms of culture and technology. Some maintain their characteristics with deletions, deletions and modifications, some retain the original ecology, and some are completely transformed."

"The information we can get now is very limited, so we don't know the proportion or the cause of this phenomenon, but even looking at the phenomenon itself, the Council does not seem to care about 'cultural diversity' and

'Technological uniqueness', but at the same time it did not dictate the path these civilizations would follow."

"What we can know now is that this organization does not seem to limit the civilization level of those who join. To put it nicely, it means that it is 'open to all rivers', and to put it worse, it means 'no one will be rejected'."

"The same seems to be true for the Republic. As long as we choose to appear in the view of the Great River System in a very public place, we can obtain council seats, have independent internal power, existing actual control areas, and even further

It looks like the area will also become exclusive.”

"At least from the analysis of existing cases, it seems that those who join will also enjoy complete and peaceful rights to themselves and others, without having to worry about the threat of force from powerful civilizations."

"However, our channel of understanding is a criminal group after all, so we also saw records of 'discovering unregistered civilizations and cultivating them.' The specific location was buried very deep, and may not even be recorded in the base's internal network.

"

"If we only consider the obstacles of the 'group', they actually do not have the ability to block the application process, and even the council bounty on their heads can be used as material for us."

"But at the same time, how much area will become our exclusive development zone, whether it will be restricted by the 'treaty', to what extent the development will be subject to such restrictions, and to what extent will be restricted, these are all still

It’s in an unknown range.”

"So as to whether to join the council and join the Great River Civilization Circle and become a visible member of it, we may need to combine more intelligence to make a more rational and prudent judgment."

~~~~~~~

At this point, Nesta's long speech, which has been rare in recent hundreds of years, has finally come to an end.

Judging from the available information, the river system they are in seems to be a very peaceful area, and the council seems to be a somewhat overly philanthropic and powerful organization;

Among them, there are super extraterrestrial civilizations that adhere to the "non-intervention policy", there are powerful civilizations in the river system that are as harmless as "sheep in wolf's clothing", and there are also many civilizations at different stages of development below.

power;

As long as the Republic can join it, it will be able to enjoy the development opportunities shrouded in peace and have ample development space that seems to be within hundreds of years. All it needs to pay is to go there and apply.

However, the questions he raised cannot be ignored. Maybe we can continue to develop in the blind spot of vision. After all, the river system is so large that even the overlord-level civilization seems to have failed to develop the area under its jurisdiction;

Therefore, if the Republic is determined not to be born, it is very likely that it will continue to survive for a considerable period of time, until it is too big to hide, or until the time is long enough for the information to reach the prosperous areas of the river system.

And if they choose to join the council, it may be equivalent to actively handing the reins to the supervisors. This may indeed be safer, but it will also face numerous restrictions.
