"This is not the first time that singing is used to exchange for peace. In the war when humans just stepped out of the universe, it was also because of the singing of a singer that the two races merged. The current situation is not the same. Is the situation the same back then? Whether it was in the past or today, everyone should be aware of the power of a real singer. Being able to maintain peace with bugs and even live together on the same planet is our luck, and it will also be inevitable in the development of mankind. ."
"After some understanding, I found that bugs are not born that big. Bugs in their infancy are only that size, and they look very cute. Haha, please forgive me for using the word cute to describe it, but it is indeed like a little pet. Same." Xiao Ran smiled and made a gesture about the size of a puppy with his hand in front of him, and then continued: "What's more, when our next generation is born and grows up in the next few years or ten years, they will also have and With the same ability as an orchid, maybe each of these children will have a bug growing up with them, living with them from childhood to adolescence, from adolescence to middle age, and even depending on each other."
"You mean you hope we can go to the home planet of bugs?" The president nodded slowly, glanced at the other people who were lost in thought and asked: "Just now you said that everyone can have the same relationship with Orchid Li. What do you mean by the same power?”
"The president should have heard about Orchid's mother, Lan Xue Mei, who was actually infected with V bacteria during pregnancy and gave birth to Orchid. As a result, Orchid has the power to communicate with bugs, and Shirley... " Speaking of this, Xiao Ran shook his head slightly: "In fact, he is also infected with V bacteria, but it was Grace who was used as a test subject and caused the infection."
"In other words, as long as a person is infected by V bacteria, he can gain the same abilities as an orchid, and the health of orchids also proves that V bacteria do not actually cause harm to humans... But the premise is to find the right method. "
As soon as Xiao Ran's words came out, there was a commotion in the conference room, and everyone looked at Xiao Ran. Some people looked at him with approval, some looked at him with suspicion, and some even stared at him angrily, but Xiao Ran showed no expression on his face when facing these different looks.
"How can humans live with those bugs? This is simply ridiculous. I propose to request support from all ship groups to completely eliminate the bugs."
"You don't want peace. You insist on war. Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"Don't argue, don't argue. I think what General Xiao said makes sense. We can try to show off."
"Fart, those bugs are a group of warlike and murderous creatures. How can they live together with humans? I can't imagine the day when the bugs suddenly go crazy and kill us all."
“……”
Various quarrels resounded in the conference room, some supporting Xiao Ran and some opposing Xiao Ran. Seeing the chaotic conference room, the president slammed his hands on the table: "Shut up, everyone!"
Suddenly, the conference room fell into silence again.
The President took two puffs of his cigar. While spitting out thick smoke, he also asked Xiao Ran: "Are you going to artificially infect humans with this V-bacteria and gain the same power as orchids? But Miss Shirley Lu, who is infected with the V-bacteria, is not in the center now. Is it under treatment in the hospital? How can you determine the safety of V bacteria infection?"
"Based on Lan Xue Mei's medical records, doctors have formulated a drug that can suppress the growth of V bacteria. Of course, this drug cannot have the desired effect, because we cannot sacrifice this generation for the next generation." Xiao Ran said this. He paused for a moment: "But in addition to drug suppression, there is another way to make V-bacteria truly symbiotic with humans. Instead of letting me use words, don't let me prove it to you with practice. . ”
Xiao Ran stood up slowly. He glanced around the conference room with sharp eyes: "I just heard someone talking about starting a war. I absolutely disagree with this idea, Xiao Ran. If a war really starts, I would rather bring people who share the same ideas with me to join. In the insect camp, the purpose is not to be enemies with humans, but to preserve a continuation of fire for humans."
"Humanity's space jumping technology is inherited from the technology of the Geraldians, and the technology of the Geraldians comes from another, older ancient civilization. Because the existence of the space barrier limits the maximum jumping distance, and the energy consumption is also extremely terrifying, but It is under such circumstances that in just over fifty years, we humans have almost set foot in every corner of the galaxy."
"But what about the bugs?" Xiao Ran sneered and said, "The bugs are a race older than that ancient civilization. I even think that the space jumping technology was learned from the bugs. Do you know that the space barrier is basically useless to the bugs? They don't exist. They have been living for at least hundreds of thousands of years. Humanity has set foot in the Milky Way in just over fifty years. Let me ask you, what about the bugs? Have they been sleeping every day and doing nothing during these hundreds of thousands of years? ?Are you dreaming?"
"I can guarantee that if we really start an all-out war with bugs, just dealing with the bugs in the Milky Way will be a headache for mankind. If bugs also exist in other galaxies, once what you said today is put into action, it will definitely make people When humans face bugs from countless galaxies, you will be the sinners of the entire human race!"
Every word Xiao Ran said was very loud, and those who had previously opposed it immediately made those who had opposed it open their mouths and completely wilt, because what Xiao Ran said was not impossible, but too possible, and a person with a force not weaker than A human race, a race that can evolve with battle, a race that can jump through space at will without being affected by space barriers, a race that may have survived for more than hundreds of thousands of years, such a race humans must not fight against. enemies, because their numbers may be enough to completely overwhelm the entire human race.
After hearing Xiao Ran's words, President Glass also frowned, thinking about the possibility of Xiao Ran's words, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Xiao Ran said might be true. When he thought that once the war started, there might be an overwhelming situation. There were endless bugs to kill. President Glass felt a chill rise in his heart. The scene was too terrifying.
"Huh..." President Glass breathed out, shook his head and looked at Xiao Ran: "What you said makes sense. No matter what, humans can't be enemies with bugs. Since you just said that you can prove that other people can be infected with V The bacteria and orchids have the same ability. You can even determine the safety. Just go and prove it to us. If you prove that your method is feasible, I will also start to recruit volunteers for more tests."
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded heavily and said, "But I have to take Shirley Lu and Lanhua to Vajra's home planet first."
After President Glass thought for a moment, he agreed: "Okay."
"In that case, let's go together with General Xiao this time." Captain Jeffrey, who had been silent, knocked on his cigarette holder and stood up. Ozma from afar also nodded to Xiao Ran.
President Glass nodded and stood up: "Then you and General Xiao will go together. In addition, the direction of public opinion within the fleet should also change. Show the deleted scenes of bugs helping humans. Xiao. General, when are you ready to set out?"
Xiao Ran replied: "We will set off after a day of rest."
"Well, the fleet will cooperate with you when the time comes, and I will let Catherine come with you." President Glass nodded, waved his hand and left: "That's it for today, let's wait until Brigadier Xiao Ran returns from the Vajra home planet. ."
With the departure of President Glass, the meeting came to an end. Captain Jeffrey nodded to Xiao Ran from a distance and turned to leave. Soon only Commodore Perry was left in the conference room. Xiao Ran, Ozma and the adjutant.
Brigadier General Perry and his adjutant walked up to Xiao Ran: "The battle with the bugs cannot continue. After several battles with the bugs, ordinary weapons have gradually lost their effect on the bugs, and the bugs are indeed not our enemies. . Brigadier General Xiao Ran, it’s up to you.”
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded and showed a smile: "Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about."
Come out from the military headquarters, which is the Macross-class battleship. Xiao Ran and Ozma went directly to the central hospital. Billy drove the car. Billy, who did not set off with the fleet, also rejoined the fleet when it returned. Moses sat in the passenger seat, while Xiao Ran and Ozma sat in the back.
"How sure are you?" Ozma suddenly asked.
Xiao Ran looked at Ozma with a faint smile: "In which direction?"
Ozma scratched his hair and leaned back lazily: "The safety of going to the insect home planet, the possibility of humans and insects coexisting, and Miss Shirley's illness."
"There is no problem in the safety of going to the bug home planet, and the possibility that humans and bugs can coexist is 100%." Xiao Ran said and the smile faded a little: "Can Shirley completely turn the V-bacterium into a symbiotic bacterium? In fact, it represents whether humans can coexist with V-bacteria, and it is also the true basis for whether humans and bugs can understand each other. I don’t know how sure I am, but everything will become clear after this time.”
Ozma shook his head: "I really didn't expect that. I thought they were enemies, but now they are turning into companions who may live together in the future. This feeling is really... a bit strange."
Xiao Ran smiled and didn't answer.
When the car arrived at the hospital, several people walked to the door of Shirley Lu's ward. Billy and Moses stood on both sides of the ward. Xiao Ran pressed the communication button: "Shirley Lu, can you come in?"
"Come in quickly."
Xiao Ran smiled and opened the door and walked in. At this time, there were only Shirley Lu and Lanhua in the ward. Just when Xiao Ran wanted to ask Shirley Lu how she was feeling now, she suddenly saw a green one in Lanhua's arms. The little thing suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Ozma, weren't you just asking whether humans can coexist with bugs? I think there is an answer now." (… )
ps: I’ve only finished two chapters of Yizui today. I feel a little bit of a migraine and it’s very uncomfortable. I need to take a good rest.
In the 161st meeting:
