Wu Qiao felt that his brain had lost the ability to think, but he lost his voice when he wanted to speak, and his limbs were too numb to move. He who was still imposing just now is like a poor cardboard man, letting the wind and rain blow on him wantonly. It took Wu Qiao a long time to digest this sentence, but he felt that he couldn't digest it at all. He asked incomprehensibly, "Why do you say... Qingsha is the biggest scam in human history?"
"Hmm..." Qiu Yanting made a long voice, "The green sand doesn't have such a magical effect at all. Its function is just to absorb impurities and help purify it, so that humans can extract more energy from traditional ores."
"What..." Although this was completely different from Wu Qiao's usual cognition, since Qiu Yanting said so, it was almost certainly true. Wu Qiao opened his mouth, and asked with some difficulty: "Then... why... 150 years ago... would you say that green sand is a new energy source?!"
"Oh," Qiu Yanting's thin cheeks didn't change much, "the last time someone rebelled and wanted to restore the republic, but failed, you must know it? Wait, no, hehe, it should be the last time. Because last time It was you last time, and it succeeded, so it was last time."
Of course Wu Qiao knew about the failure of that revolution.
"An important reason for that rebellion was the empire's energy crisis. At that time, someone suddenly revealed that the remaining energy of the empire was only enough for the country to last for another 50 years. The energy plan put forward by the empire was not satisfactory, causing public resentment. That rebellion The momentum of the army was very strong, and they proposed that the people should make their own plans, and the emperor should not be able to make decisions on such an important thing as energy. That would be tantamount to handing over his life to others and then waiting to die. In fact, the rebels also felt that once they won Their own lives can be guaranteed.”
"and then?"
"The rebel army was close to victory for a while, but then there was a shocking reversal, and the imperial army still won in the end."
"Yes." These histories are common sense, and Wu Qiao naturally knows about them.
Qiu Yanting said: "But...the energy problem is still not resolved, the people are still dissatisfied, and revolution may break out again at any time. The situation has been unstable."
"..."
"At this time, that is, 150 years ago, I saw the emperor, the father of the last emperor... I told him that with the power of green sand, I can extend the day of energy depletion to more than 200 years later."
"..."
"However, there are only so many traditional resources left, and no matter how long it is extended, there will be no more... The emperor was afraid that telling this fact would still be useless, so I told him... why not directly declare that green sand is an alternative energy source, which is inexhaustible and usable The empire discovered it at the right time, and it was about to be handed over to the military for mining. He agreed. Then, the green sand was sent to a secret factory to help purify the traditional ore, and what came out was directly energy. Few people knew about the factory What happened inside is not even understood by the top military.”
"...!!!" At this moment, Wu Qiao finally understood why the green sand was always mined by the army alone, and no one else was allowed to touch it at all. Wu Qiao can imagine what will happen next—the energy problem is resolved, the atmosphere of domestic anxiety fades, and the secret of Qingsha is controlled by the empire, the influence of the "rebel army" gradually dissipates, and the empire has regained its political power.
Qiu Yanting over there said again: "Later, the Republic came in for Qingsha... Hehe, the emperor naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, and at that time he felt that he would be able to easily defeat the Republic, so there was no need to admit lying and fight for Qingsha... Digging the grave of the monarchy. Later... the longer the time, the less he dared to talk about it. He only hoped to win the war and benefit from both sides. After his death, the last emperor succeeded. I'm really not sure, he Either he doesn't know about Qingsha at all, or he knows but dare not tell."
"So it's like this..." Wu Qiao murmured, "Didn't you all think that there will be a war... Why are you so naive? The empire is almost about to be killed by you..." After so many years of fighting, so many people died , the country was almost subjugated, so the root cause was a scam
"I know." Qiu Yanting had a weird smile on her face at this moment, "I knew there would be a war, that's why I said that."
"… What do you mean?"
"Of course I know that the Republic will definitely come in... The stupid emperor really didn't expect it. Hey, they designed to let the most capable first heir live in the Republic, and the result was that the stupid emperor who came up with the idea succeeded, and his son did the same. stupid."
Wu Qiao had heard of this legend. According to rumors, when the "rebel army" appeared to be the winner, several heirs of the royal family asked the first heir to join the "rebel army" in order to leave the royal seed and wait for an opportunity to regain the country. After the victory of the empire, the heirs did not want to let the journey be easy The first heir to the throne was secure, but instead of telling the truth, he accused his brother of betrayal. Later, the war between the two countries also used this excuse-the Republic said that it would help the "former first heir" to clear up his grievances.
An angry expression appeared on Wu Qiao's face: "Since you know you will definitely fight, why do you still do that?!"
It's really hard for Wu Qiao to understand—there are really people who deliberately provoke wars in this world. Such a terrible thing as war is like Pandora's box. Ordinary people can't avoid it, but some people still open it on purpose.
"Because..." Qiu Yanting said, "Human beings are too lazy."
"… what?!"
"I feel very disappointed... human beings will be satisfied with the status quo... they will think that the current state of incompetence and weakness is good. It has been nearly 10,000 years, and civilization has existed for nearly 10,000 years, but human nature has not evolved much at all! Almost still the same intelligence, almost the same physical strength, and the development is completely dependent on the so-called "step by step" to develop bit by bit! Occasionally, there is a genius who is stronger, and the whole world rejoices! I don't understand, since there is already Genetic modification technology, why don’t you want to break through yourself, why don’t you want to try the limit?! After the transformation, the IQ can be as high as several thousand, and the quality of all aspects is completely crushed by ordinary people! Genetic transformation is the future of all mankind, and mankind should accept it. Transformation, but now all countries have banned this technology, and if it goes on like this, human beings will be destroyed by alien species one day! How can human beings be so unwilling to make progress?"
"..." Wu Qiao was too shocked to speak.
"I want to create the ultimate human... But I can't get the money and raw materials I need. Only when there is a war can I get the support of the country."
"Are you crazy, you..." Wu Qiao looked at him and said.
"In the beginning I chose the empire, but the empire was still too restrained. I just created a few cyborgs, and the emperor of the empire stopped. He really didn't live up to it... so I can only find someone else to cooperate with... this person It is Jing Yan who has always been unwilling. In order to win the war, he fully supports all my research."
"..." Wu Qiao now understands that his feeling is correct, there are indeed others standing behind Jing Yan, and Jing Yan himself is incapable of declaring war on the two countries. And he also knew the truth about the two reformed people he met during the revolution, and at the same time, he also knew why he only met two.
"Ah!" Ya Jiu couldn't listen anymore, and said again, "Why do all the bosses want to control all human beings?! Have you discussed it?!"
"..." Wu Qiao didn't speak.
Indeed, ever since the possibility of genetic modification became available, people have been eager to try it. Governments around the world strongly ban this research, but every now and then you hear news of someone secretly experimenting. However, this is the first time that Qiu Yanting has conducted such a large-scale research.
Wu Qiao remembered that there was a banshee named Siren in Greek mythology on the ancient earth. Her singing is so beautiful that all passing navigators who heard her singing could not resist the temptation of Siren's singing, lost their minds and drove the ship into the seaside full of hidden reefs, eventually causing the ship to crash and die. Perhaps, for ambitious and small human beings, the matter of "studying extreme human beings" is like the song of a siren, which fascinates countless people and makes them rush over desperately.
However, a transformed person... can he still be considered a "human being"? Knocking out the genes that belong to humans, and adding the genes that originally belonged to various beasts to overcome physical disadvantages, can this really be called a "human"? If not, then where is the boundary of human beings? After what percentage has been transformed, is it no longer an individual? Wu Qiao couldn't figure it out. At present, several countries legally only allow the modification of obviously diseased genes, and all changes to "normal genes" are expressly prohibited.
The idea of turning all humans into a mixture of humans and beasts sounds too scary—
"Crow Nine." Wu Qiao didn't want to talk nonsense with Qiu Yanting anymore, "Kill him."
"Oh ok! Kill the boss!" Ya Jiu responded.
On the other side, Qiu Yanting sneered: "Kill? Just the three of you, do you want to kill me too?"
"..."
"The reformers given to Jing Yan are actually just to deal with him," Qiu Yanting said, "It's completely a war machine, and it doesn't conform to my philosophy at all. Jing Yan has never seen my own real works. Of course you Never seen it."
"..." Seeing Qiu Yanting's proud expression, Wu Qiao secretly clenched his fists.
Indeed, the transformation people in the neutral country are violent and bloodthirsty, but they listen to the "master" very much, and they look like tools used in war.
After Qiu Yanting finished speaking, she pressed a button on the console.
An alloy door opened on one side, and a little girl stumbled out from inside.
The little girl was about eight or nine years old, her face was extremely delicate, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyelashes were long, her eye sockets were deep, and her eyes were watery. She was even prettier than the Tan Yan Wu Qiao had seen when she was a child.
However, behind her was a mecha that did not match her.
"Are you really crazy?" Wu Qiao said, "Such a small child?!" In fact, the cyborgs used by the neutral country also look very small. The scientists of the alliance analyzed that because Wu Qiao was too strong in talking about Yan, Jing Yan deliberately dragged his feet in order not to be suspected, and the war with the Republic ended earlier than Jing Yan imagined. The neutral country was not quite ready yet, so the "warriors" who hadn't had time to grow up were injected with a lot of growth-promoting hormones. Even so, the soldiers are still underage.
"Daddy..." The little girl walked over unsteadily, looked at Qiu Yanting and said, "Daddy..."
"...'Dad'?" Qiu Yanting looked at the little girl and asked in surprise, "Who told you this word?" In the system he set up, there is no such word.
"Well," said the little girl, "the assistant aunt said."
"Troubleshooting!" Qiu Yanting decided to get rid of that assistant after a while.
"...?"
"Forget it." Qiu Yanting pointed at Wu Qiao, "Now go... cut those three mechs into pieces!"
"Good dad."
Wu Qiao instantly became nervous.
"Crow Nine!" he shouted, "Destroy that mecha now!"
"Yes!" After Yajiu finished speaking, he shot out with a cannonball, but unfortunately the mecha, which was shining in darkness, blocked it automatically, and put its driver directly into the cab!
—The battle begins.
Wu Qiao, Tan Yan, and "Nicole", the three people with the highest mecha manipulation skills in the history of the alliance, joined forces to deal with a little girl.
Wu Qiao was very careful, his hands and feet were a little cold, and everything he ate seemed to have been digested. He hadn't felt this nervous feeling for many years, and his palms were even sweating a little.
His brainwaves didn't dare to relax even for a thousandth of a second, because he knew that once he relaxed, the consequences might be unimaginable disasters. It's fine if it's just him, but he still has Tan Yan by his side, and an ally behind him.
He cooperated perfectly with Tan Yan, trying to force the opponent to have some loopholes in the uninterrupted response with the complex coordination that dazzled the opponent.
But no.
Every move of the opponent is as accurate as calculated by a supercomputer, and his strength can completely crush any enemy Wu Qiao has passed.
Not only that, but opponents can often see tiny loopholes in the actions of him, Tan Yan, and "Nicole" that others can't see at all. Several times, the three of them barely avoided it, and if they were too lucky, they would be defeated. she hit!
"It must be completely precise!" Wu Qiao said to the other two people, "Be careful to be completely precise!"
"... I see." Tan Yan replied. In the past, he didn't care about those fleeting problems. Rather than saying that they were mistakes, it would be better to say that they were unnecessary, because a loophole that cannot be exploited by the opponent cannot be called a loophole at all. His former opponents couldn't see those problems at all, and even if they were lucky enough to see them, they couldn't seize the opportunity. But now, their opponents reacted too quickly, and any small flaw in the operation was as obvious to her as a piece of red silk in the snow, enough for her to carry out a round of indiscriminate bombing without haste. If it weren't for God's pity, he would have been beaten into a sieve by now.
"Damn..." Wu Qiao thought to himself: Is it true that "transforming people" is something that natural people can't surpass anyway
Meanwhile, Wu Qiao fired a cannonball in Qiu Yanting's direction, but the cannonball bounced off something with a "boom".
There was actually a transparent cover in front of Qiu Yanting!
Wu Qiao tried hard to find an opportunity, but his opponent didn't give him any chance.
In the end, no matter how good luck is, it can't withstand the lack of strength.
Five minutes later, the mechas of Wu Qiao, Tan Yan, and "Nicole" were all scarred. One of Yajiu's legs was knocked off, and a hole was pierced in the knee of the other leg. Every time he made a big movement, the lower half of his leg would start to shake. Long Yuan's waist was also scorched black, as long as Tan Yan flashed a little slower, he would definitely be hit in the cab. "Nicole"'s mecha is the worst. She has a low degree of tacit understanding with the other two, so she has been hit the most times. The heels of the legs were all broken, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that there was only half of the mecha left.
Another five minutes later, Wu Qiao, Tan Yan, and "Nicole" could only dodge in embarrassment. Only defending but not attacking is a taboo in battle.
"Haha!" Qiu Yanting seemed to be very happy, "Look, she is just a child, she has not grown up at all, and she has been able to suppress the three strongest people in the history of the empire to this point! Is there no natural person Promising, transforming talents are the hope of the galaxy!"
The little girl seemed very happy to hear the compliment.
Wu Qiao found that her calculations were so strong that he couldn't understand the intention of her tricks at all, and it took a few steps each time before he realized what she wanted to do!
When Wu Qiao was finally cornered, he saw a white light blast towards him!
"...!!!" Wu Qiao really had no choice but to fight recklessly with the shield! But he knew in his heart that at such a short distance, Crow Nine's shield would not be able to resist the thunder-like power—Crow Nine's shield would be shattered, and Crow Nine and him would be wiped out together.
"Tan Yan..." Wu Qiao closed his eyes and unconsciously read Tan Yan's name.
Unexpectedly, although his shield shattered with a "bang", and the fragments hit the metal shell of the mecha one by one, Wu Qiao himself was unscathed!
Tan Yan rushed to his side at that moment!
Long Yuan held a shield in front of Yajiu's shield with one hand. The two shields overlapped and both shattered, but they successfully weakened the power of the opponent's shells!
The shell hit Yajiu's body, knocking Yajiu upside down for several meters, but failed to penetrate Yajiu.
saved…
Wu Qiao's chest rose and fell violently.
On the opposite side, the little girl seemed to be taken aback for a moment.
"It's now! It's now!" Wu Qiao shouted. The only time a terraforming person is problematic is when a natural person does something they cannot understand. Their IQ makes them good at calculating, but when the opponent's move is beyond all the possibilities they can predict, they will pause. And that was the only flaw.
In her calculations, there is no option to "block the gun for others". The idea of rushing up to stand with the person being attacked under heavy fire was totally illogical in her rational mind.
Hearing Wu Qiao's words, Tan Yan replied, "I know."
After finishing speaking, Tan Yan threw Ya Jiu's head at the other party, and then shot the thing, fragments of various sizes and shapes flew far away with a "snap".
Then, with a series of explosions, every fragment suddenly burst out with powerful power!
It turned out that each fragment was a powerful bomb, and after being broken up and exploded, they became one piece. It was a large-scale attack weapon!
"Hit it!" Wu Qiao, who was too excited, hammered the console of Crow Nine hard.
Before setting off, just in case, he buried dense bombs in Yajiu's head in advance, and the explosion of the bombs was controlled by a switch. As long as Ya Jiu's head is scattered and flew away at a critical moment, it can cause a large-scale attack.
The reformer on the opposite side is too scary. Wu Qiao knew that even at the moment when she was in a daze, she would instinctively avoid the shells when they hit her eyes. Therefore, Wu Qiao chose to explode in a large area, so even if she could dodge instinctively, it would be difficult to avoid everything in the range. She was very focused before, and Wu Qiao couldn't use these bombs, because they would be blown up by the opponent the moment they were thrown, wasting an opportunity in vain.
Taking advantage of her daze and sending a large-scale bomb to her is the most likely way to win.
"Wuwuwuwuqiao," Yajiu said, "You used my head to plant a bomb... I didn't know before that you are such a cruel, cruel, and cruel person!" Three consecutive "cruel", It shows the wound in its heart.
"..."
Wu Qiao ignored Ya Jiu, he stared closely at where the enemy was.
After the smoke from the explosion dissipated, Wu Qiao saw that the black mecha was already in dilapidated condition.
Its pilot fell out of the mecha, his soft and small body was covered in blood, and he struggled to crawl towards Qiu Yanting on the ground. Even if her body's healing ability is super strong, it's not strong enough to really recover from this kind of wound. Where she crawled, there was a bloodstain, like the bright hairband on the head of an ordinary girl.
Qiu Yanting looked at her in disbelief, and asked, "What were you in a daze for just now?!"
"I... I..." The little girl raised her blood-stained face, looked at Qiu Yanting, and said, "Dad, the pilot of the golden mecha blocked the gun for the pilot of the silver mecha... I think it's strange, good Strange... I can't help but think, when my life is at stake... Dad, will you protect me?"
"... trash," Qiu Yanting said in a cold voice, "I don't care about trash."
The little girl heard it and struggled on the ground to stand up again. The more she struggled, the more blood she bleed out: "I'm not a waste... I'm not a waste... I'll fight again... I can still fight."
"..." Qiu Yanting looked at her as if looking at a useless object.
"Father," the little girl's delicate face was extremely dirty at the moment, she looked at Qiu Yanting and said, "That...that, I have a request..."
"Say."
"If... if I can kill them, can you pat my head and call me 'good boy'?"
"..." Qiu Yanting had a look of disbelief. He said: "What's wrong with you? You should be the most rational human being, why would you want 'Dad'?!"
