The sky is cloudy orange and yellow, and the sun seems to be forever fixed on the side of the morning and dusk line, which is so oppressive that people can't breathe.

Everywhere you look, there are farmland, but the crops here seem to be blue, and the waves are stacked on top of each other, and the sky is as blue as the sea.

Lu Zhou originally thought that this experience would be the same as last time, and it would be a hardcore of bullets and bullets as soon as it came up. Unexpectedly, what was presented in front of him at this moment was an idyllic scene.

However, this feeling soon came to an abrupt end as his gaze continued upward.

The mountains in the distance seemed to have been cut in half by some terrifying force. The alloy fractures exposed outside the rock mass were full of devastation.

It can be seen that an extremely tragic battle broke out here.

"Spectacular, isn't it?" Standing next to him was a Jialan man with a face that looked a little vicissitudes, only to see the angular jaw move, he squinted at the distant dusk, and continued, "Long, I heard that the distant star is your hometown. ”

Speculating that the man was talking to him, Lu Zhou nodded and said.

"Yes...... General Reinhardt. ”

Unlike last time, this time as soon as he spoke, a string of unfamiliar memories flooded into his mind. The character he synchronized with was a soldier from a distant star colony, in Ge. After the beacon of life was lit, he joined the rebel army and became a member of the guard of the general Reinhardt.

Unbelievable.

I didn't expect this Reinhardt to ...... That is, the protagonist played by Lu Zhou in the first memory, actually set off a revolution to overthrow the empire fifty years after the oracle incident. Life?

However, it seems that their situation is not very rosy.

For now, at least, they were probably on the defensive, and had been badly damaged in the previous round of battles.

"I'm sorry to make your hometown like this, I remember that mountain, which was once one of the ten most spectacular sights in the Empire. It seems to be called the Gate of Morning and Dusk? ”

Just then, a man who looked like a non-commissioned officer walked over.

"General, the Imperial fleet has given us an ultimatum."

Reinhardt was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Gather the officers above the fifth level and ask them to wait for me in the staff room, I have important matters to discuss with them."

"Yes."

The non-commissioned officer turned and walked away.

Reinhardt turned to look at Takashi who was standing next to him, which was the role Lu Zhou was playing at the moment. I saw his index finger pointing to the sky, where there was a brilliant light like a meteor.

"See those arcs?"

Lu Zhou raised his head and looked in the direction he was pointing.

Without waiting for himself to speak, he smiled and continued.

"That's the Empire's Tachyon Light Spear, it's amazing, isn't it?"

Lu Zhou: "...... Checkmate? ”

"Centuries ago, we we've wiped out the vast majority of our armament at the end of the last war, but now in less than five years, we've rearmed the Empire's fleet to the teeth."

"War is indeed a biological instinct, and it seems that the empire has not yet decayed to the extent that we imagined...... It's me who underestimated the old diehards in the council chamber. ”

Reinhardt shook his head, a self-deprecating smile on his face.

But that's fine.

Although it is doubtful that such a fleet will be effective in the face of the oracle's natural disasters, at least the empire is no longer a sheep crouching on the board unlike the empire of five years ago.

Even if it is.

That's also a sheep armed to the teeth.

"Come with me, Long."

"For every second we delay, a valiant warrior died for our cause. In order for their sacrifice not to be in vain, and to give us a little hope for the future, I need to make some preparations. If I needed courage, would you lend it to me? ”

Not knowing how to answer this sentence, Lu Zhou was silent for a while and then said.

“…… You're brave enough, General. ”

"Really?" As if remembering some distant past, General Reinhardt shook his head with a smile and continued in a somewhat free voice, "Maybe. ”

……

The staff room was soon there.

Reinhardt put his hand on the conference table, glanced around at the officers present, and said frankly and even indifferently.

"Guys, we're losing this war."

There was silence at the conference table.

Lu Zhou noticed that many people were holding their breath.

"I am not afraid of defeat, death is nothing but a return to the bosom of the spirit of the universe, and for a warrior, sacrifice is his greatest honor, as my commander once taught me, though he may be disappointed in me now."

Grinning and looking around at the officers at the conference table, General Reinhardt continued.

"I'm not afraid of failure, but I don't want everything we do to turn into pointless resistance in the end."

"At the very least, in the worst-case scenario, we'll have to leave something behind."

The staff room was silent for a long time.

An officer finally broke the silence and spoke.

"But general, what can we leave behind?"

"Leave the fire, or rather, leave hope," Reinhardt walked to the side of the holographic panel, and with a wave of his hand, he switched the battle map to the star map of the entire star system.

Looking at the cantilever of the galaxy, his index finger pointed to the center of the galaxy.

"Dr. Ryan's notes calculated the course of the strange drops, and we knew where they were going. If we want to be there, we go there too. ”

Leather. A bitter expression appeared on the face of the commander of the Command Fleet: "No life form can break through the blockade of the Imperial Fleet, they will definitely inspect every aircraft that shows signs of life activity, and if necessary, they will even 'clean' the entire planet." Besides, none of our ships would be able to completely leave the supply depot and sail to a strange star field five hundred light-years away. Even by the lowest energy consumption standards, our spacecraft is at least 100,000 light-years away from the center of the star system......"

"Then send the dead thing over!"

A hint of determination appeared on his face, as if such a decision had been made a long time ago, and Reinhardt said in a tone that could not be refused, "Copy my memories in hardware, and then, make my remains into specimens." ”

"If our civilization survives in the end, it will be for the best."

"If not, we'll have to at least leave something behind to prove that this great empire ever existed!"

The memory of the second half has a bit of tragic color.

By the halfway point of the meeting, the impatient Imperial fleet had already begun to bomb the ground. The high temperature of plasma melts the rock mass, turning the surface into purgatory. Chemical energy weapons, which are useless in space, have shown unimaginable power in earth attacks on planets in the atmosphere.

Under the rotation of orbital weapons and automatic ground combat units, the defense line of the revolutionary army gradually collapsed.

In the underground bunker, Reinhardt saved his memories in the computer, personally set up the route of the escape ship, and the intelligent cruise AI.

In the end, he ended his life with a syringe with a lethal virus in the silent farewell of countless officers, becoming a specimen heading to the center of the star system.

Until he saw the end of the story, Lu Zhou didn't know when it started, so he held his breath.

Although the subsequent journey of 100,000 light-years did not appear in front of his eyes, now that this memory has been preserved, it is presumable that the spacecraft carrying hope has successfully reached the center of the star system.

Everything about the old universe has been destroyed, but the memory is still alive and being seen by oneself in the new universe.

Of course, what really shocked him was not the calmness of the Jialans in the face of the bombing, but a detail of General Reinhardt before boarding the escape ship.

I saw that the general Reinhardt took a battery that had been cut off from the middle from his neckline, and after a moment of silent prayer, put it back again.

Lu Zhou recognized the battery!

The battery was the magazine of the energy weapon he had seen in his first memory.

And it is the one that was pierced by unknown rays under the rain of bullets and bullets of the drone!

Unexpectedly, this battery was actually worn by Reinhardt as a talisman, and it was put together with his body and sent to the center of the star system.

A broken battery, a spaceship engine weathered by time, or even a retarded AI......

Thinking of the gift he had received from the Void, Lu Zhou felt his heartbeat suddenly beat faster.

In this way, it is likely that the gifts he has received from the Void so far have come from the wreckage of the Jialan Empire...... Or cultural relics.

He may know Xiao Ai's origin......
