Chapter 387: I Am the Sun
Volume 4 The Starry Year Chapter 387 I Am the Sun
Xu Le's original ideal in life was to become a mechanic assistant officer on a federal warship, this ideal was not dried by the years but was forcefully reversed to the other direction by fate, but after all, this was his dream when he was young, like a flower that would never wither, so he had always been interested in the battleship, and easily found the ordinary data exchange center room.
As soon as he walked into the room, Lee Jae-do's calm and gentle voice sounded in the corner of the wall.
"Zai Dao is a very planned person, although he doesn't think it will happen, but he has made corresponding arrangements for possible situations. Xu Le, I must admit that I was surprised that you appeared here, but you must know very well that the alloy gate has fallen, and it is difficult to take a step forward without the help of the mecha. β
"Individual heroism is no longer appropriate for this era, my battleship is about to enter the dark zone, and you can't stop anything in the face of a collective with great will and ability...... Even if his father was resurrected, he would not be able to stop it. β
Xu Le glanced up at the sound transmission equipment in the corner, and silently thought in his heart that he was also a very planned person, so he ignored the other party, did not answer, silently took the heavy marching backpack that had been carried behind him, took out the water jug and took two sips.
Li Zaidao's calm and gentle voice echoed in the room, echoing in the dark area on the third floor of the battleship, but Xu Le didn't seem to hear it at all, and when his breathing was a little calmer, he tore off the adhesive bandage and wrapped the wound on his left shoulder that grinned at the baby's mouth, and then walked to the console of the data room, took a deep breath, and secretly lifted his hands like iron on both sides.
With a crisp snap, the tightly connected metal shell of the console was simply taken down by him, looking at the complicated wiring and sensitive components inside, Xu Le found what he needed most at this time, and directly and even pulled out a data cable a little roughly.
Like flying a kite string, he pulled the 388-core cable and walked silently out the door, wading past the corpses in the pool of blood, jumping onto the MXT mech to remove the repair arm, and then to the heavy alloy gate that closed tightly.
A low humming sound sounded, and the alloy gate of the battleship used for complete isolation was indestructible, but the line valve on the bulkhead next to the door was as fragile as a girl without clothes in front of Xu Le, a genius mechanic, and it was opened in a very short time.
A swishing sharp sound of air loss and grinding sounded. The wiring valve, which can only be cracked from the inside, is not a great threat to the ship's life support system, and even if there is an accidental leak, the air pressure in the isolation zone cannot be reduced in the slightest at this leakage speed.
But this is very important to Xu Le. He stuffed the data cable in his hand out of the hole in the line valve, not far in front of the alloy gate was the hole he had just smashed with an MX mecha for the hammer, because of the pressure difference, the data cable did not fall to the ground after being plugged over, but was quickly sucked into the space outside the battleship.
Seeing that the passive signal amplifier at the end of the data line flew out of the battleship, Xu Le's fingers tightened, grabbed the data line, and then half-squatted and took off a tattered military boot, and forcefully stuffed it into the hole of the line valve to complete the fixation.
Walking back to the room, Xu Le sat down on the ground tiredly, pulled the other end of the data cable that stretched out of the battleship, took out the machine repair tools in the marching backpack next to him, and began to disassemble the electronic control components in the console non-stop, and then kept assembling and welding.
His body was still trembling slightly, but his ten fingers were unusually stable, and his expression and eyes were unusually calm, just like when he was a teenager repairing household appliances in the repair room in the Donglin Mine.
He knew that Lee Jae-do could see all his movements, but he kept his head down and didn't care, because he firmly believed that no one could understand what he was doing now except for his uncle and himself.
"Although I don't understand what kind of futile struggle you are trying at this time, I want you to see a picture of how a new chapter of humanity will begin. β
At this kind of final decisive moment, even if they control the overall situation and have the leisure to sit in the hall and drink coffee, they probably won't suddenly feel like a writer, after all, not everyone can be as crazy as the imperial master Fan, so Xu Le knew very well that what Li Zaidao said was actually trying to interfere with his plan, but he still looked up.
A thin, two-dimensional light curtain pops up above the room, and the words Biki Plateau II Experiment are clearly marked below the screen, first in darkness, then in light.
A terrifying wave spread from the depths of the plateau, the earth began to shake, countless clouds of smoke and dust shot up, and hundreds of square kilometers of ground began to gradually collapse
In the groundburst experimental area deep in the Biki Plateau, an even more terrifying picture appeared, under the high-speed diffusion of light and heat, the hard alloy experimental material melted in an instant, and then countless experimental beasts and a dozen figures who were obviously prisoners of the empire turned into ashes
"This is just a fragment of the experimental area, you can't imagine how powerful this weapon is, how much damage it can do, compared to the Federation's battleship main guns and the Empire's hugely expensive missile defense array, like a child's toy. β
"Yes, I was also deeply shocked when I saw the experiment report, I never thought that human beings could have such a terrible weapon, as if it could challenge the Creator, and I never imagined that the theoretical source of this weapon was so simple and so beautiful. β
"Between a small mass and great energy, there is an unshakable speed of light, isn't it very simple and beautiful? What I can't accept is that such a simple and wonderful formula shouldn't have taken tens of thousands of years to appear, why have human beings lived alone in the universe, and they were always dependent on this formula, why have they never discovered it?"
The room echoed with Lee Jae-do's puzzled voice, followed by a moment of silence.
"Luckily, I found or found this formula and used this most appropriate method to make it shine. Xu Le, I can assure you that the most powerful bomb can destroy the entire port city at once, and a hundred bombs can turn S1 into a sea of fire, and do you know how much you have on this Burning Sun?"
"The question now is where to bomb first? Because of the existence of the Charter, it will be very difficult for the warship to launch a missile, or to have a subordinate on the ground detonate a bomb, so I had to set the target of the first explosion as the Charter Bureau. β
......
......
In the hall on the top floor of the battleship Lieyang, General Li Zaidao was holding a coffee and looked at Xu Le, who was busy in an ordinary data room on the lower floor on the light curtain.
"Maybe it's because of my uncle's relationship, I was very interested in the ubiquitous brilliance of the charter at a very young age, and I don't understand why the people around me are indifferent to the chip on the back of their necks, and they are not interested in how the charter works at all. I'm different, I'm a guy who likes to figure everything out, and that probably really has something to do with genetics. β
"I met Cui Judong a long time ago, and then I knew more about the charter, I knew a lot of secrets of the Charter Bureau, and I even knew that there were a lot of obviously advanced technologies hidden in the federal central computer, but I never wanted to release them, imprisoned in the dark and cold underground. β
"Those technologies are the wisdom of our ancestors, so why should we need a cold mechanical computer to choose for us what can be used and what we can't? This feeling makes me feel that human beings are like bison on the other side of the electronic wall, nominally protected from being disturbed, but in fact they are kept in captivity in a seemingly vast world, without any freedom. β
"So my goal is to destroy the Chartist Bureau, to dispel the annoying gloriousness of the Charter, and to put an end to the tens of thousands of years of history of the Commonwealth of humanity without freedom and without true dignity. With those advanced technologies again, the Federation only needs to unite to survive the first difficult years or decades before it will usher in a leap forward, and how can the Empire be our opponent at that time?"
"In fact, in my plan, the second big bang will appear on the Ink Flower Planet, and the most elite mecha troops of the Empire, as well as your sister, Her Royal Highness the seemingly invincible Princess Huai Caoshi, will instantly become a few lines of text in history. β
"What does it mean to end the Charter, to defeat the Empire, and then to destroy those seven great families with all ease? β
"Father and uncle are probably the two most powerful men in this universe. However, the goals of ending the Charter, destroying the Seven Greats, and defeating the Empire, for which they have fought all their lives and have not been able to do it, will be achieved in my hands."
Lee Jae-do's voice was still calm and gentle, but Xu Le could faintly hear the madness hidden in the deepest part of the two different emotions of fanaticism and coldness.
"In this great era of the universe, what is the use of personal force, no matter how strong the individual is? The difference between human beings and beasts is that my mind seems to be the weakest in the three generations of my family, but I can create a greater cause than my father, and complete the historical mission that my uncle can't accomplish, and the supreme glory of the Li family in Philadelphia will inevitably be inherited and carried forward by me."
The federal proverb says that the difference between man and beast should be that man is moral.
Xu Le, who was silently bowing his head and doing things, raised his head, looked at the light curtain above, squinted slightly and did not say the above sentence, his body was a little cold but not because of blood loss, but because he seemed to see those terrible pictures that would happen later.
The Charter Bureau building stood quietly at the end of the avenue, Mrs. Tai was drinking tea on the terrace of Mochou Mountain, the silent marching people were cheering and celebrating in front of the Parliament Hill, Ah Yuan stood on the stone steps and looked at the supporters with a smile and waved, coughing softly, on the Ink Flower Planet, Madman Li was leading the mecha group to fight frantically, and Huai Caoshi commanded the Imperial Iron Flow to go down the northern line.
A certain Federation support fleet was preparing to launch dozens of missiles into the Imperial Theater of Operations, hoping to temporarily stop the other side's violent southward invasion, but the captain had no idea that those conventional warheads had already been replaced by some kind of warhead that they didn't know about.
Then the explosion occurred, and the skyline suddenly became dark, and suddenly brightened again, and countless mushroom-like clouds of gunpowder rose all over the universe, the Charter Bureau building was gone, the terrace behind Mochou Mountain was gone, the Capitol Hill was gone, the cheering crowd was gone, and the whole world turned into charred gray and was blown up by the shock wave.
It was a desolate and dead silence.
......
......
Maybe he would make a final attempt to persuade him at another time, but Xu Le didn't, he just looked at the probe in the corner of the room, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are not qualified to inherit the glory of the Li family in Philadelphia, whether it is the god of war or the uncle, you will never be able to reach the object, because your heart is not strong enough, you are a poor person who has lost the direction of life, and the madness you are showing now only stems from the inferiority complex in your deepest heart." β
After a moment of silence, Lee Jae-dao replied calmly: "Don't try to provoke me and then make me make mistakes, you probably don't know my character, I am a calm and even conservative and reserved person, and you don't try to convince me with anything like morality and conscience." β
"In the history of mankind, many groups that have worked together to try to reform have eventually fallen apart and even betrayed each other, but we have never been, why? The more capable people are, the more powerful they are, the more powerful they are, the more power-grabbing **, why have I never been? Because I am a person with moral purity, since I chose to support Pabul back then, I will always support it to the end. β
"Yes, many people will die in this war. In your opinion, in the eyes of many people, and even in the eyes of those who come after history, I am an immoral murderer, but I must remind you that morality is always only in people's social relations, and cannot be placed in the large-scale background of history. β
"My father was determined to engage in the Xilin Wheel War. Generations of Xilin youths have died on those planets, and Xilin has suffered for many years. It's immoral, of course, but it's good for the Union, and when a full-scale war breaks out, we can die a lot less. β
"You don't want to kill MedellΓn at the expense of the turmoil and civil strife in the Federation, and then you kill Lake, kill Mace, kill Hu, and you still want to assassinate the President of the Federation, is it really moral? You also killed the butcher of the county king, it seems to be very righteous and awe-inspiring, but if you think that you killed your two uncles with your own hands, what kind of morality does this conform to?"
"How the Federation grows and grows, and how human beings survive in this vast universe, has nothing to do with morality, only with biological instincts and meticulous design. β
"Xu Le, people who have reached the point of you and me should know very well that morality is only a placebo used to satisfy the individual's spiritual world, and cannot affect the choice of behavior, there is no morality before major events, will you still describe me as selfishness and power?"
Lee Jae-do continued to say indifferently: "What I want is not glory and wealth, nor do I want power in the literal sense, what I want is to find a hand that can point the way." β
"Why do we call every star that inhabits the center of a galaxy the sun? Because once upon a time, humans lived in a galaxy and they had only one star, and that was the sun. β
"Tens of thousands of years of space odyssey history has long proved that human beings can only live in a galaxy with only one star, and in the same way, in order to lead those who are either at a loss or ignorant to lead those who are either at a loss or ignorant to unite and firmly move towards an unknowable future, human society must have one and only one strong leader, a leader like the sun. β
"I used to think that man was Pabul, but I didn't expect that at the last moment my friend still couldn't get rid of the false and cheap sense of morality, and I was disappointed that you and the scavengers raised their hands in surrender, and then I was forced to stand at the front of the line. β
"I have no interest in being the leader of the so-called human race, but now that I find that no one but myself is qualified to take on this important responsibility, fortunately, I am convinced that I cannot go in the wrong direction, and the human society under my leadership will not go in the wrong direction. β
Xu Le looked up at the probe in the corner, and said slightly hoarsely: "You are really an extremely narcissistic madman, I really don't understand where your so-called confidence in not going in the wrong direction comes from." β
Lee Jae-do's calm and gentle answer rang out in the room.
"When you stand in the back hills of Philadelphia, you will see continuous drizzle in the spring, dark clouds in the fall, and often you will not see the sun, but neither the dark clouds nor the drizzle can obscure the sun's rays forever. β
"It goes down at night, and the next morning it emerges strong, day after day, year after year, never doubting that it is on its right track, as I am. β
In a remote galaxy in the universe in the distant and unknown direction, a nuclear bomb exploded violently, and countless lights and heat suddenly diffused into a blazing fireball, instantly dimming the star in the center of the galaxy until it was completely obscured, as if it was the real sun.
......
......
In the tavern, Xu Le once said to President Pabul, maybe we can't change the world, but we can't let this *** world change me, is it true that a person can't change the world?
However, no matter how tired he was, no matter how hopeless he looked, he would never give up the word in his dictionary, especially after seeing the terrifying scenes of nuclear explosions, although his body was cold, his will was even stronger.
Why can't one person change the world? Change history? He firmly believes that he can do it, because he must do it at this moment.
So he no longer looked up at the pictures of the nuclear explosion, no longer listened to Lee Jae-do's leisurely narration full of space opera tones, and was not disturbed, bowed his head and carried out his work quickly in silence.
Returning to the Federation from the Empire, in response to the strange reaction of Biki Plateau, and the terrifying inference that has now become a fact, Philip and him have made very careful plans, but because they did not expect Lee Jae-do to be able to fight against the glory of the Charter, those plans must be adjusted.
Very dangerous adjustments.
With one last rotation of the tool, a rudimentary pulse signal collector was completed, and he quickly hooked the collector to the other end of the cable, then rolled up the sleeve of his left hand.
His fingers slowly caressed the metal bracelet on his wrist, feeling the slight touch of the two lines, the surface of the bracelet flowing like mercury, highlighting the extremely fine lines, and then cracking along the lines, revealing the complex and delicate structure inside.
The extremely thin wire is strung with a faint and beautiful brilliance, like a dazzling star strung together by starlight.
Every star is a sun.

(There are many updates today, everyone is waiting slowly, I don't know how much to write I'm more narcissistic than Lee Jae-do, I'm the sun in the online literature world, a wonderful flower)
