On each planet in the pirate galaxy, those humans who were used as slaves gathered into dozens of piles under the whip of the robot, and dozens of huge spaceships were suspended above each pile of people.
All the people looked anxiously at the dozens of spaceships above their heads. They didn't know what these robots wanted to gather everyone together. Could it be a massacre
Thinking of this, everyone's faces changed, but because they were not sure whether this matter was true, and in order not to waste their lives in vain because of misunderstandings, no one resisted, and they all waited and watched.
After the crowd gathered, a spaceship from the sky landed, and thousands of robots moved out a batch of goods from the spaceship. The fragrance wafting from the air made everyone swallow their mouths, because it was delicious food. scent.
This aroma is extremely attractive to people who eat artificial food with a very small amount and do not eat enough for a day.
If it wasn't for the fear of being killed by the robot on the spot, I'm afraid they would have swarmed to grab the food.
Then several spaceships put down tens of thousands of computer cabins. Seeing these things, people were stunned for a moment, wondering how they came up with this thing.
When everything was ready, a loud voice came from the sky: "Listen, everyone, our Supreme Commander will select talents from among you.
"Anyone who is selected, as long as he is willing to become a citizen of the Supreme Commander and swears his allegiance to the Supreme Commander forever, then he and his family will be free and enjoy the treatment that only senior officials have, that is, they will own houses and cars. , wine, food!
"As for those who are not selected, don't worry, as long as you have a skill, can serve the Supreme Commander, and are willing to become the Supreme Commander's subjects, and swear to be loyal to the Supreme Commander forever, then you will also be able to enjoy the previous life! As for those Those who have no ability, they can only continue to be slaves, serving the people of the Supreme Commander!"
The people below were all stunned when they heard this, is it true? There is such a good thing? They didn't pay much attention to the fact that incompetent people will continue to be slaves. After all, they don't believe that they are incompetent people. Even if they can't become talents, then how can they be regarded as having a certain skill
The slave life during this period made them extremely eager to live the life before. As long as the material is abundant, freedom is not a consideration.
After experiencing the example of their companions’ ineffective resistance and brutal massacres, they have long since lost their will to resist, and now they all hope that what the supreme commander said is true. Whether the other party is a robot is not important in their hearts, what is important Yes, I will never live such a slave life again.
Mante is a very scheming middle-aged man who has used bright and dark means to win everything he wants, such as the position of student council president in college, the position of general manager of the company, and now his own charming Wife, life can be described as smooth sailing.
Originally, he was a little lamenting that he was overqualified and could only spend his life in a small circle. He didn't expect to be attacked by robots, and he didn't expect that these robots would use the entire planet as slaves.
Faced with this fate, Mante did not give up the struggle. Of course, he was not stupid enough to resist. An idiot would fight against a fully armed robot with his bare hands.
He used his scheming and relatively strong body to allow his family to survive with him in this place where people die every day, unlike some families that have been torn apart long ago.
Mante heard the robot's speech, although he also had doubts. After all, no one knew what the real purpose of the robot was, but he decided to take a gamble, so when the robot was still talking repeatedly, he took his family Get to the front of the crowd.
He led his family into the computer room first, when the robot started rushing people into the computer room and others ducked.
When Mante walked out of the computer room, a metal robot stepped forward and said politely: "Congratulations, sir, you have been selected. You can take your family to choose whether to wash or eat first." A robot brought up a table of delicious food, and two huge container trucks also drove over.
The doors of the cupboards were opened, and one car contained all kinds of clothing, and the other was a steaming bathroom.
Seeing the hideous looking robots suddenly become so polite, Mante's heart was finally relieved. It seems that the leaders of these robots are finally ready to use themselves as humans.
In fact, it is also true, how can these rigid robots expand their power? After all, humans in this universe occupy an absolute dominant position.
Mante glanced at his family, and found that their eyes were fixed on the table of food. Mante, who knew what his family chose, immediately said that he would eat first. After all, he himself was also attracted by this food. I have long since forgotten how the food tastes.
As the Mante family ate food with big mouthfuls, took a bath after eating and changed into clean clothes that fit well, and then were respectfully led by the robot to leave in a spaceship, people who saw this scene immediately threw away their uneasy mood , all boiling.
All the people are competing to participate in the selection of talents. If it is not for the robots to maintain order, I am afraid that these people will fight for the order of priority.
Mante looked at the man in front of him who had no hair on his entire head, and was very surprised. Although the robots beside the man had human appearance, he could still tell that these big men were robots at a glance, because they were too rigid.
Originally, Mante thought that the supreme commander who controlled these robots was an intelligent robot, or a crazy madman, because no normal person would fantasize about relying on robots to rule mankind.
But I didn't expect that the supreme commander was not only a sane person, but also a very imposing man who made people dare not look squarely at him.
Although the Supreme Commander has no hair on his head, his appearance does not make people feel weird. Instead, he makes people feel that he is very oppressive. His feet trembled constantly.
Tang Hu shook the wine glass, closed his eyes and took a sip. After a while, he sighed and said, "That's right, it's really good wine. I haven't tasted such fine wine for many years."
Mante didn't say a word when he heard this, because he knew that this was just the supreme commander talking to himself.
Tang Hu glanced at Mante, then looked at the data handed over by his subordinates, nodded and said: "You are very good. In the entire pirate galaxy, your grades are the best among so many selected talents."
Although Mante was also surprised that he was actually the best in selection among the humans in the pirate galaxy, he still bowed his head calmly and said, "Thanks to your love."
Tang Hu shook his wine glass again and said: "I value your talent very much. Let me explain to you first. My goal is to unify the entire universe. I now have half a million warships with fully equipped soldiers, and the arsenal sells them at four times a day. Warships are produced at a rate of one hundred ships, and machine soldiers are produced at a rate of one million per day.
"This productivity is due to the fact that our current location is small. When the location expands, it will not be a problem to produce tens of thousands of warships a day. So in terms of military, even if I don't have excellent generals, I can defeat all enemies with absolute superiority.
"But I still lack the talents to rule and manage the planets. I believe you also know that it is definitely not a good idea to hand over the planets to these dull robots for management. Would you like to work for me?"
When Mante heard that Tang Hu's goal was to unify the universe, he couldn't help staring at Tang Hu with wide eyes in surprise, wondering if this Tang Hu was too self-righteous
Did he think there were only tens of thousands of planets in the entire universe? So arrogant that he wanted to unify the entire universe
When he heard about Tang Hu's military productivity, he was shocked.
Four hundred battleships and one million robots per day
My God, can this backward pirate galaxy actually have such a strong productivity? It's not an exaggeration, is it? This kind of productivity can be compared with the military industry productivity of Wulai, the number one country in the universe!
After listening to Tang Hu's words, Mante calculated in his mind that if the supreme commander was telling the truth, then the army relying on robots as soldiers, coupled with the strong military productivity, really doesn't need to care much about the military, even if the enemy has An outstanding general can also defeat the enemy with superior force.
You have millions of troops, and you have countless outstanding generals. Although I don’t have outstanding generals, I have an endless supply of troops. If I can’t win with ten million troops, I will send 100 million, and they are all robots who are not afraid of death!
Even if you use any strategy to win for a while, you will eventually fail, because the enemy is swarming like locusts. Facing the absolute gap in troops, any strategy is useless.
And even if you can afford battleships, you can't afford soldiers, unless you also use robots to fight.
But when it comes to the use of robots, I am afraid that there is no force in the universe that has more robots than this Supreme Commander.
Mante, who had calculated the gains and losses, immediately knelt down to Tang Hu, and said in a very respectful tone: "I, Mante, will swear to the Supreme Commander to the death!"
Tang Hu nodded in satisfaction and said: "Very good, as long as you work hard, you will have all kinds of glory and wealth. Those selected talents will be handed over to you to manage, and you don't need to take care of the military. You can just take care of the planet with all your heart. I ask you to restore the planets in the pirate galaxy in the shortest possible time.
"As for the robots on those planets, you can use them as you please. They are useless except for their strength and absolute obedience to orders. Use them well."
"This subordinate will never let you down!" Mante said happily.
With Tang Hu's words, I have established myself as the number two person in this faction, and those robots are at my disposal, which means that I have a large number of powerful and powerful people who don't need to pay salaries and absolutely obey orders subordinates.
In this way, who would dare to come out and question his status
As for how I could so easily pledge allegiance to the guy who had enslaved people like me
Please, if you have milk these days, you are a mother. If you don't want to die but want to live a good life, if you don't work for a powerful person, who should you serve
With the loyalty of Mante and other talents to Tang Hu, the planets of the pirate galaxy began to slowly restore the original stable state of civilization.
The vast majority of the people who were finally freed from slavery also began to live under the management of the new government with peace of mind.
Most of them have never thought of rebelling, because they have experienced the life of slaves, and they cherish this hard-won free life very much.
And now I have food and shelter, but compared with before, I have one more object of allegiance. What's the big deal
Who would rebel because there is one more object of allegiance, not to mention the existence of countless armed robots on the planet, the decree that all rebels will be demoted to slaves makes everyone discouraged, because it is not human. live.
At the Presidential Palace of Xing, the capital of the Wanluo Federation, Chen Yu asked a middle-aged man: "All the generals in the army expressed their willingness to obey the orders of the Presidential Palace?"
The middle-aged man nodded respectfully and said: "Yes, Your Excellency, President. Because the generals lost confidence in Tang Long, they realized that only you are the supreme commander of the Wanluo Federation, so they have decided to obey the orders of Your Excellency the President."
"Really? Hehe, it seems that Tang Long has a headache this time. I don't know what he did. As a high-ranking person, he is willing to accept the questioning of the court. Doesn't he know that doing so will make him lose his authority?" Chen Yu smiled and took out a cigar.
After the middle-aged man fawned on lighting the fire for Chen Yu, he said, "He is too young and has no experience in this kind of thing."
Chen Yu gasped and said: "As long as the army is willing to support me, then there is no need to look at Marshal Tang Long."
The middle-aged man hurriedly whispered: "In this case, shall we..." He cut his neck while speaking.
Chen Yu shook his head: "No need, Tang Long who lost his army is just an ordinary young man, and besides, he still has thousands of Beluga warships, so we can't punish him.
"Also, let your people stop fanning the flames. After all, our economy and military industry depend on the help of Tang businessmen, so that Tang Long will not be able to step down and get angry and withdraw all the aid."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man said cautiously: "Uh, Your Excellency, Lin Nan did those things that fanned the flames."
"Lin Nan?" Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, but quickly said in a cold tone: "Hmph! I want to sit in my seat all day long and let your people trip him up. I don't want him to live like this .”
The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly and said, "Of order."
"Be patient. Since they are obedient and obedient, we shouldn't pay too much attention to it. Yes, don't punish them. The current situation is not right, so don't cause any trouble."
Liu Sihao hung up the communication, sighed deeply, and started pacing back and forth in his office.
Liu Sihao felt that his life was very difficult now, because Tang Long's reputation could not be more stinky now, and the people in the army vaguely didn't obey orders very much.
At the beginning, Liu Sihao was gloating and secretly happy, but when he saw his subordinates also turned against him, he realized that it was impossible to wash off the mark of Tang Long branded on him. In the eyes of outsiders, he was Tang Long's best friend .
Now not only myself, but also those cronies I sent out, including Chen Yi and Li Lijun, called to complain to me.
"Damn it! You complain to me, who do I complain to? Damn Tang Long, why did you die to make these things happen? Although I want you to die, but I don't want you to die when I am fledgling, you Isn't it amazing? How come you can't even solve such a trivial matter?" Liu Sihao, who was in an irritable mood, couldn't help muttering to himself.
Just as Liu Sihao was walking back and forth in the room, there was a knock on the door, Liu Sihao who was in a bad mood turned his head and shouted: "Come in!"
A school officer came in and saluted: "Your Excellency, General, there are five soldiers outside wearing blue uniforms and possessing passes from the Marshal's Mansion who want to see you. Are you going to meet them?"
"Blue military uniform?" Liu Sihao was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that Datang's military uniform was blue, so he hurriedly said, "Quick, invite them in." After speaking, he began to tidy up his appearance.
The school officer looked suspiciously at Liu Sihao who was tidying up his clothes. The other party was just a few soldiers. Why did his general seem to attach great importance to it? Could it be because of the relationship of the Marshal's Mansion? Is the general still planning to rely on the mountain of the Marshal's Mansion? Doesn't he know that the mountain is about to collapse
Although a little unconcerned, he still carried out Liu Sihao's order.
When Liu Sihao saw five soldiers wearing Tang military uniforms walking in, he looked at their ranks at first glance, and found that the most senior rank among the five soldiers was only a second lieutenant. He frowned and stood up straight. The body also began to relax.
But when he saw the armband patterns on the arms of these five soldiers, he couldn't help but straighten his back and stand upright.
People outside may not know what the armband pattern represents, but all Tang soldiers know that this pattern represents the Ministry of the Interior.
In Datang, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a more powerful department than the Ministry of Gendarmerie, because they manage the military merit records and military rank promotion.
"Lieutenant Liu Sihao?" A second lieutenant who looked like a person in charge in the middle asked after saluting Liu Sihao.
Liu Sihao returned a standard military salute, and said in a serious tone: "I am Liu Sihao."
"Please change your military uniform." After the second lieutenant finished speaking, he fell silent.
Liu Sihao was stunned for a while, but soon realized that he was going to change into the military uniform of the Tang Dynasty. He couldn't help suppressing his excitement, nodded slightly and said, "Please wait a moment." Then he walked steadily into another room.
As soon as the door was closed, Liu Sihao was in a hurry, took off the federal military uniform and threw it aside, then quickly found out the Datang military uniform and put it on.
After tidying up his appearance in front of the mirror, Liu Sihao flicked the lieutenant rank on his shoulder, and said with a low laugh, "Hey, I'm going to say goodbye to you."
Sure enough, Liu Sihao guessed right. When he came out wearing the Tang military uniform, the second lieutenant immediately conveyed his order to be promoted to captain.
Liu Sihao was both happy and a little bit shocked, because when receiving the promotion certificate, he took a look at the information about himself in the microcomputer brought by the second lieutenant.
Looking at it, he broke out in a cold sweat. The data clearly recorded what achievements he had made and what mistakes he had made. The details were so small that no one would pay attention to them. .
"Fuck, with so many people on the battlefield, how could the Ministry of the Interior clearly record that I accidentally destroyed an instrument? How did they do it?"
After seeing off the five officers from the Ministry of the Interior, Liu Sihao wiped off his cold sweat and muttered in a low voice.
Muttering this, Liu Sihao hurriedly checked his office carefully, fearing that someone might have installed a bug or something.
Liu Sihao, who was relieved because he didn't find anything intrusive, suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said to himself: "I'm such an idiot, Tang Long's root is in Datang, and Datang is stronger than Wanluo Federation. Times, what else am I worried about
"If Tang Long is kicked out of power here, he will definitely run back to mobilize troops to attack the Federation! Hehe, if this is the case, why am I so cautious?"
Speaking of this, Liu Sihao started to call the communication, telling his cronies to make a good show of authority, firstly, he could take the opportunity to take revenge on those guys who were obedient and vicious, and secondly, he also took the opportunity to act recklessly, because judging from the current situation, it is not necessary to It won't be long before Tang Long returns to China. If he doesn't show his prestige now, he won't have much chance to be prestige in the future.
Lin Zhendong is a little smug now. Of course, his face is still full of respect, because the people in this spaceship are all prominent figures in his family. Although he is about to own 100,000 warships, he still has to rely on For these people to expand their power, they can't make them feel arrogant.
"Little Dongzi, you brought us old guys here, what's there to see?" An old man with a gray beard said, very clinging to the old.
Hearing the name Xiaodongzi, Lin Zhendong frowned slightly, but he still didn't dare to offend this clan elder who had always supported him, and said with a smile: "Third Uncle, don't worry, you can see it later. Good stuff."
At this time, a very angry voice sounded: "I said, Lao Liu, you dragged us, the upper echelons of the family, into this dark place, and you didn't want to tell the situation. What is your plan? It can't be Can't wait to be patriarch and get ready..."
As soon as Lin Zhendong heard this, he knew that it was his competitor and the boss of his own generation who said it. Although he didn't care about him at all now, he couldn't let his words arouse the suspicion of the elders of the family. Did the faces of the elders change? He couldn't help but open his mouth to make an excuse.
Since the two candidates for the next patriarch spoke up, their followers hurriedly joined in. Anyway, they were desperately suppressing each other's momentum and letting their side gain the upper hand.
When the commotion was raging, the clansman in charge of piloting the spaceship reported, "Sixth Young Master, we have arrived at our destination."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, and Lin Zhendong even waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone go to the command tower, let you see what good things I brought to the family, and see if I brought everyone here. Bad intentions!" As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the command tower.
All the clansmen looked at several powerful clan elders. These clan elders glanced at each other, nodded and followed.
When they thought about it, the people on these spaceships were all their clansmen, even if Lin Zhendong had evil intentions, he would not be able to instruct these clansmen to work against him.
With the leader of the clan elder, other clansmen followed to the command tower.
Through the screen, everyone could only see a little bit of starlight. Other than that, there were a few spaceships beside them. There was nothing here. Everyone looked suspiciously at Lin Zhendong.
Although Lin Zhendong had a calm expression on his face, his heart was pounding. Did that damn guy say that he would send the battleship at this time? If I don't come, then I will be out of luck, and those guys will definitely be accused of murdering the clan elder by those guys.
Just when Lin Zhendong was uneasy, the radar officer suddenly shouted: "There is an abnormality in the space ahead!"
Immediately, someone came over and asked, "What's going on? Is it a battleship that jumped out?"
In this era of the universe, once an anomaly in space is discovered, the first thing to think is that it is caused by a space jump.
"It can't be concluded that the radar has no other findings other than space anomalies!" The radar officer said in a panic.
No wonder he is like this, since he has been in control of the radar for so long, this is the first time he has encountered a situation where although he found a space anomaly, he couldn't detect what the thing that jumped out was.
After getting this information, everyone was a little flustered, after all, the unknown is the scariest thing.
Lin Zhendong was overjoyed, finally came. Lin Zhendong can be so sure because he knows that guy's warships can evade radar detection.
"The space has returned to normal, but it is still impossible to detect any objects in front of it. Only from the measurement of space anomalies, it can be concluded that a large number of huge substances have jumped out of the front." The radar officer continued to report his discovery.
"Little Dongzi, are those large quantities of substances that cannot be detected by radar the good things you are going to show us?" The clan elder couldn't help asking when he saw everyone staring at Lin Zhendong.
"Yes, third uncle, those things are the good things I prepared for our family. Now let's go forward, and then everyone will be able to witness with their own eyes that our family's glorious moment has arrived." Lin Zhendong said later, The tone became a little excited.
Lin Zhendong was able to confirm that the thing he was waiting for was because the communicator that had been set in his arms vibrated. This was an agreement he made with that guy early in the morning to notify him when the thing arrived.
The clan elder pondered for a moment, then nodded to the person driving the spaceship, the spaceship started to start, and flew towards the abnormal space just now.
Originally, after flying for a while, everyone still didn’t see anything, so they couldn’t help but start whispering to each other. Lin Zhendong knew what they were talking about without listening, and it was nothing more than doubting his own words.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile in my heart: "Let's talk now, wait a little longer, and you will be dumbfounded, and then you will know who is the real successor Patriarch."
As the spaceship got closer and closer to the destination, abnormalities slowly began to appear on the screen. Everyone saw countless star lights on the screen, and a tribe member asked suspiciously: "What's going on? There are too many star lights in front of you." Are you tired?"
Lin Zhendong smiled when he heard the words of this clansman, and said to a clansman who controlled the computer: "Bring the distant scenery to you."
"Yes, Young Master Six." This group of people adjusted the scenery on the screen very obediently.
When the focus was zoomed in, everyone who saw it gasped.
Because the dots of starlight I thought were actually the lights of battleships, not to mention how huge these battleships are, the number of battleships covering the entire screen is enough to make everyone speechless in surprise.
"Little Dongzi, this... is this the good thing you said?" The clan elder pointed to the battleship displayed on the screen and stammered.
"Yes, these 100,000 warships are what I call a good thing."
Seeing everyone's shock, Lin Zhendong was really proud, and his tone and expression also changed unconsciously, and he was not as respectful as he was not long ago.
"You said, these warships belong to our family?" The boss who was competing with Lin Zhendong for the limelight asked in disbelief.
"A friend gave it to me." Lin Zhendong glanced at the boss, and said in a soft tone, but everyone could still hear that Lin Zhendong deliberately increased the volume of "mine".
"Give it to you? Who has such a great ability to send you 100,000 warships?" Boss Qiang cheered up and said.
He knew that no matter whether these warships really belonged to Lin Zhendong, as long as these warships supported Lin Zhendong, then Lin Zhendong would definitely be the next patriarch, and no one could shake Lin Zhendong's position, so he was dying here.
Because such a powerful force is what the family dreams of, and a person with such a strong force does not have to worry about whether he can control the family.
"As for who sent it to me, I have no comment. You just need to know that these 100,000 warships are only under the orders of me alone."
Lin Zhendong cast a cold glance at the boss and the others, and everyone present avoided Lin Zhendong's gaze. They were not idiots, and they all understood that these words meant that Lin Zhendong was the owner of these warships.
As for who would be so generous and give away 100,000 warships, everyone didn't care about this point. Anyway, these warships are real, and they are about to become the force of their own family.
The most important thing now is to see how much benefit you can get yourself with this force, instead of worrying about what you have and what you don't have.
At first, I was a little skeptical that what Lin Zhendong was talking about was the real clansmen. After seeing countless battleships lined up on both sides, welcoming the ceremony of returning the commander of the fleet with the army, they sailed towards me, and cast aside their doubts, looking at Lin Zhendong's eyes It also became hot.
When the clansmen followed Lin Zhendong to the largest battleship and saw that all the sturdy men on the battleship saluted Lin Zhendong and welcomed him to the commander's chair to sit down, the last trace of doubt disappeared.
Everyone, including the boss, began to imagine that under the leadership of Lin Zhendong, their family would definitely enter a glorious era that they had never dared to imagine before.
At this moment, no one would compete with Lin Zhendong for the position of the next Patriarch.
Lin Zhendong didn't care about the respectful behavior of these big men, but waved them casually to get them to back down.
He didn't worry about whether these subordinates would change their minds because of his attitude, because he knew that these big men were all robots in human skin, and as long as there was no problem with their programs, they would never betray him.
Even if I beat and insult them at will, they will not betray themselves.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhendong looked at the people around him who were looking at him respectfully, he couldn't help but sighed and thought: "Well, compared with robots, I feel more at ease with robots. As long as the bot doesn't fail, nothing happens.
"And these clansmen, if they are not careful, they will be stabbed in the back a few times. From this point of view, it's no wonder that guy likes to use robots so much."
Seeing Lin Zhendong's frown, the clan elder came forward and whispered in concern: "Does your friend who sent you the warship ask for your help? If it's not troublesome, help solve it as soon as possible. It's a big debt of gratitude." hard."
Lin Zhendong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the third uncle who he was fawning on just to use to compete for the position of Patriarch would care so much about him, and he couldn't help but feel warm.
But he also quickly calmed down, he smiled, and whispered to the clan elder: "Third Uncle, it's not difficult, my friend asked me to help him get the Xingling mainframe computer to study, these 100,000 warships It's the reward."
"oh?"
The clan elders didn't believe that someone would spend 100,000 warships in exchange for the Xingling mainframe. According to common sense, Lin Zhendong's friend meant to use these 100,000 warships to attack the capital circle in order to seize the Xingling mainframe.
In fact, why bother, if you exchange directly with the leaders of the capital circle, they will be very happy to exchange Xingling mainframe for 100,000 warships, but since Lin Zhendong said so, the clan elders will believe so.
