Chapter 349 Is it true, but I don't believe it
September 9th, Saturday, Lunar Sun City.

For Mesti, these two days in Taiyin City were the darkest and most desperate days in his hundreds of years of life.

I can no longer see the vigorous momentum of the past.

There is only one thought left in my heart, and that is to destroy this civilization at all costs.

Make humanity disappear from the galaxy completely.

Even if the opponent has a fearsome mechanical life form.

Mainly during these two days, he has undergone several research experiments. Not only was his blood and body tissue drawn, but he also lost any freedom and rights like a mouse.

Once the royal family of the empire.

Episcopal Herald.

Now it has become a test product for others.

How can this kind of shame be forgotten, it must be washed away with blood.

Even if he knew that he would end up like today, he would not choose to surrender even if he fought to the death.

Unfortunately, it is too late to regret.

It can only be said that this ending was doomed since stepping into the solar system.

But he didn't give up hope.

Because he still has a hole card in his hand.

That is the fleet of the Empire.

As long as the fleet can reach the solar system, he still has a chance to reverse the situation and get out of the current predicament. After all, judging from the two days of experiments, the other party has no intention of killing him.

It's nothing more than a long time of suffering.

When he first fought against the Alliance Space Force, he thought he had encountered a mechanical civilization, which reminded him of Seitan, the only third-level mechanical civilization in the Orion's spiral arm.

As its subordinate civilization, the pioneer star naturally dare not make mistakes.

That's why he decided to surrender.

But after being transported to the moon, a super planet city, he discovered that all the living things here are carbon-based life forms.

Weak and short-lived.

This made him understand that what he encountered was not a pure mechanical civilization at all.

Only in the mechanical body has a higher research.

Thinking of the small interstellar warships they fought against before, they suddenly realized that the opponent was indeed still a weak first-level civilization, and it was absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the Herald Empire's interstellar fleet.

He admitted he had made an error in judgment.

But as long as the fleet reaches the solar system, not only will the civilization in this star system be completely destroyed, but the galaxy will also be occupied by the pioneer empire.

Anyway, the other party has not registered with the Galactic Civilization Administration.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away on the Saitan star, and there is nothing to worry about tens of thousands of light years away.

What's more, the resources needed to use the stargate at such a distance are also a large number. Basically, Seitan will send envoys to each subordinate second-level civilization for investigation every hundred years.

Originally, Mesti didn't want the imperial fleet to see him in such a state of embarrassment, which would damage the dignity of the members of the royal family.

But after trying the taste of being experimented, this idea completely disappeared, and now he only hopes that the imperial fleet can reach the solar system as soon as possible.

This is his only pursuit now.

"Humanity."

"One day I'm going to make you pay."

"Treasure the time now."

"The fleet of the Herald Empire will eventually wipe out this place!"

In the prison specially built for the pioneers, Mesti, who was wearing electronic shackles, leaned against the wall, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he repeated these words repeatedly, as if he wanted to increase his belief in this way.

Use this to help yourself keep going.

Because he already knew that among the ordinary pioneers who were brought here, there were already examples of voluntarily ending their own lives.

After all, as a second-level civilized life, even if it is the most ordinary existence in the empire, it cannot tolerate being treated like this.

The experience of being experimented day after day is really torture.

In addition, the lifespan of the pioneers is still very long, and the average is at least more than a thousand years.

In this case, it is better to solve it by yourself.

Although it takes a lot of determination.

It is also worth mentioning that the Future Science and Technology Research Department of Taiyin City, which Qin Xiaoman is in charge of, took remedial measures immediately after discovering that a pioneer had voluntarily ended his own life to prevent the recurrence of the same thing.

So much so that it was a luxury for these pioneers to want to die.

The so-called causal loop.

They continue to plunder the resources in the galaxy, just like bandits and bandits.

What happened now is purely self-inflicted.

And just as Mesti was completely immersed in his spiritual world, he saw a young man wearing a white lab coat with a future technology symbol appearing next to the prison's transparent window.

And yelled a word inside.

"Come out."

"We, Mr. Xu, want to meet with you." The voice was cold and without any emotion.

If there are older experts from the company's scientific research department here at this time, they will definitely recognize that this young man is Song Le who took the initiative to participate in the biological hibernation chamber experiment.

Speaking of Song Yue, there are also some episodes.

Originally, as a student of Hu Xinren, he should follow the teacher to participate in the design and manufacture of the alliance fleet.

But after Qin Xiaoman received these extraterrestrial life, he knew that this is a very difficult and important experimental project, which is related to whether human beings can return to the planet, so he discussed with Chen Shihe to send a group of young experts from the company's scientific research department to participate in it .

Song Le learned that after informing Hu Xinren, he voluntarily chose to sign up.

After all, he was such an aggressive young scientist who wanted to make more contributions to human civilization.

Hu Xinren naturally did not refuse this.

Because he also knows the importance of this project, and the battleship is basically solidified. Small warships can be mass-produced, but medium-sized warships similar to battleships cannot be developed. It is useless to keep many outstanding scientists without solving the essential problems.

You must know that technology is not so easy to climb.

Fortunately, the Herald Empire left a battleship for mankind.

Waiting for a detailed disassembly study on the battleship may allow the alliance fleet to step into the level of a medium-sized battleship.

Since the transported pioneers and the members of the scientific research department in charge of this project have already worn relevant brain wave communication methods, they can talk to each other.

Hearing such news suddenly, Mesti turned around subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, the supreme commander of the opponent would meet with me again.

He thought he would never see him again.

But Mesti didn't expect Xu Lei to let him out of the lab, after all, he saw Xu Lei decisively deal with Uzi that day.

He has already lost those unrealistic ideas.

But he was still curious about Xu Lei's purpose, and wanted to know what the other party was planning to do, so he figured it out and didn't see him hesitate, and immediately stood up and walked towards the prison passage.

Pioneers are essentially carbon-based life forms like humans.

Just more strength and fitness.

But in the case of wearing an electronic shackle, he basically lost his hands-on ability.

If there is anything else that can be used as a weapon.

That is his own blood.

After all, their green blood is highly corrosive.

After Song Le released him from prison, he led the other party to meet Xu Lei, during which he did not communicate with Mosti in full accordance with the regulations.

Fortunately, Mesti has no idea of ​​doing this at all.

I just want to wait patiently for the arrival of the imperial fleet.

So the whole process was smooth and there were no emergencies.

Soon he arrived outside the room where Xu Lei was.

……

……

"These are the latest conclusions we have drawn from our research on pioneer life forms, and it's really hard to imagine such life in the Milky Way."

Qin Xiaoman, who was full of excitement in the room, handed over a paper document to Xu Lei, and at the same time explained the above content, acting as if he had made some major discovery.

Xu Lei had high hopes for this research.

It is believed that the study of pioneer life can help humans return to the earth.

Immune to the terrible substance on the earth star.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoman and the others had achieved success in just a few days, he was also very interested, and after reaching out to take it, he concentrated on examining it carefully.

This document mainly contains some data analysis on the living conditions of the pioneers.

Although it is not a breakthrough, it is equivalent to pointing out the direction for subsequent research and proving that its theory is feasible.

No wonder Qin Xiaoman was so happy.

While Xu Lei was checking the document, Qin Xiaoman did not let himself be idle, and still explained beside him: "Reporting to the Dean, according to our research on those pioneer life blood cells, we found that they have extremely long lifespan, and is indeed immune to the effects of dead matter."

"It can be said that they are excellent research materials in themselves."

"If it goes well."

"In the future, we will be able to develop an optimization liquid that can greatly increase human life span, as well as make the human body immune to the special substance on the planet."

"Relevant research planning is already underway."

After hearing what Qin Xiaoman said, coupled with the confident expression on his face, Xu Lei was also looking forward to it, and did not hesitate to praise and affirm him when he answered.

"Great."

"Your scientific research department is doing a good job."

"I believe that human beings will return to the planet Earth sooner or later."

But having said that, another thought appeared in Xu Lei's mind the next second.

That is the problem of raw materials.

According to Qin Xiaoman, if these pioneer life forms are used to develop an optimization liquid that improves human life span and immunity to the effects of dead substances, then with the population of normal human beings exceeding one billion, it is possible that only dozens of pioneers in the laboratory Certainly not enough.

In this case, maybe we have to find a way to catch more pioneer life.

It's just that the other party is an old-fashioned second-level civilization and has registered with the Galactic Civilization Administration. Even if humans want to launch a counterattack, it is not so easy.

Fortunately, it is still a long time to talk about these things.

After all, everything is still in the theoretical stage.

I don't know how long it will take to be officially implemented.

The most urgent task right now is to solve the threat of the Herald Empire Fleet first.

Just when Xu Lei's thoughts became clear again, Song Le's voice from outside just brought the topic back.

"Professor Qin, Mesti has already brought it over."

Xu Lei's visit to Mesti this time is mainly for the matter of the space channel star gate.

If he wanted to go to the third-level civilization Saitan and register humans with the Galactic Civilization Administration, he had to use the stargate of the space channel to complete it, but he didn't want to use the stargate in the pioneer empire, so he could only ask Mesti.

See if you can find a suitable solution.

After all, as a member of the royal family of the Herald Empire, Mesti has traveled to many galaxies after leaving the Herald Star.

Knowledge is naturally there.

And many of these will not be recorded in battleships.

Of course, Xu Lei also understands that it is not easy for the other party to cooperate with him obediently.

So at this moment, without waiting for Qin Xiaoman to speak, he responded directly: "Come in."

Song Le pushed the door and entered, followed by Mesti who was restrained by electronic shackles.

"We met Bishop Mesti again." Seeing Mesti again, Xu Lei took the initiative to say hello.

But in return, the other party looked coldly: "I don't want to see you, I can have this encounter today, it's all thanks to you."

Hearing the sound, Xu Lei was not angry, but waved his hand to Qin Xiaoman and Song Le and said: "There is nothing for you here for the time being, go down and get busy first."

"It's the dean."

Qin Xiaoman and Song Le responded in unison, then turned and left.

Leave Xu Lei and Mosti to talk alone.

But besides the two of them, there is also a star pupil in the room.

Perhaps it was because he had a feeling of resignation to his current situation, and felt that no one except the empire's fleet could save him, so Mesti didn't care about Xu Lei's feelings at all, and sat down in front of the other party.

The attitude was still cold and he said: "Since you sent us here, why did you suddenly come to see me?"

As soon as this question was raised, Mesti seemed to have thought of something, and a smug smile appeared on his face: "Or you are afraid of the fleet of my pioneer empire, and now you want to reconcile with both parties."

It's a pity that Xu Lei doesn't like him at all.

Also after sitting down, he didn't speak immediately, but took the initiative to undo the electronic shackles on Mesti.

This approach made Mesti startled, and then became extremely nervous.

Always feel that things are not normal.

"Just tell me, what do you mean?"

Xu Lei will never act recklessly, making fun of his own life.

Since he dared to undo the shackles of Mesti, it showed that he was confident enough to ensure his own safety. After all, he was a mechanical lifeform, and after fusing with the living gold, his various performances had been improved many times.

In particular, the rail gun built into the left arm can blow up Mesti in front of him to pieces in an instant.

There is absolutely nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing that the home court has been completely controlled by him, Mesti also showed curiosity, and then Xu Lei stopped beating around the bush.

Immediately said: "I'm already preparing to go to Seitan and register for the solar system civilization at the Galactic Civilization Management Bureau."

Mesti was not as panic-stricken as expected.

It was as if he had guessed that Xu Lei would have the information.

After quickly adjusting his emotions, he said with a little admiration: "It seems that you have obtained the authority of that battleship. It is really hard to believe that a weak civilization that has just entered the first level has such advanced development in the field of intelligence and brain. .”

The other party knew about Seitan and the Galactic Civilization Administration, and the source of their news could only be the battleship.

Being able to grasp these only means that the control authority of the battleship has been changed.

Anyway, the medium-sized battleship that followed me for such a long time has become the enemy's spoils of war, and I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

But regarding Xu Lei's going to the Galactic Civilization Management Branch of Seitan Star, he only mocked: "It's a pity that you still can't change the ending of being swept away by my pioneer empire fleet."

"Such a long distance, with the speed of your battleship, even if you are exhausted, you will not be able to reach Seitan."

Xu Lei's expression remained unchanged, and he slowly spit out a few words: "Don't forget there is a star gate."

"Even if you know about the star gate, it's impossible for you to go to my pioneer star to ride the star gate. It's a dead end." Mesti became more and more contemptuous, and didn't think Xu Lei's idea could be realized at all.

What Mesty said was right.

As a space channel that can quickly travel to other galaxies, the star gate is naturally very strict in guarding, and it must go through layers of procedures before it can be used.

Life forms like Xu Lei from other civilizations, let alone entering the star gate, are afraid that they will be taken down as soon as they arrive at the pioneer star.

Xu Lei didn't get angry at being so slighted by Mesti, but said calmly, "Of course I won't be so stupid as to go to your pioneer empire alone, so I need your help."

"Want my help?" Mesti looked suspicious.

"I wonder if there are other stargates within a few light-years of the solar system besides the precursor star?"

At this time, Xu Lei finally revealed his purpose, wanting to get information about other star gates from Mesti.

What made Xu Lei feel hopeful was that right after he finished saying this, he could see the slight change in the micro-expression on Mesti's face, as if something was right on his mind.

This made Xu Lei even more sure that Mosti still has clues to other star gates.

Today's meeting is really worth it.

After all, Xu Lei had turned on the overclocking state as early as when Mesti came in, especially with the blessing of the fusion of living gold, any change in Mesti's expression could not escape his eyes.

But it is predictable, how could Mesti take the initiative to tell the location of the star gate.

Because if Xu Lei is really allowed to reach Saitan Star and complete the registration of civilization, then even if the fleet of the Herald Empire comes over, it will be useless.

So without much thought, he answered decisively: "There is only our pioneer empire within tens of light-years around your solar system, so there is no second stargate at all. I advise you to accept your fate obediently."

"really?"

"I do not believe."

Xu Lei, who already knew that Mesti would say this on purpose, just smiled and looked at the other party.

The look of disbelief was evident on his face.

It's like saying that you continue to make up, and I just watch you quietly like this.

It's just that Xu Lei really doesn't have much time and effort to spend with the other party. After all, even if the problem of the star gate is solved, how to go there is also a problem.

We must know that the distance of only a few light years is an astronomical figure for human beings now.

So in order to resolve this matter as soon as possible, Xu Lei simply became ruthless, trying to force the other party to submit by threatening.

"Since you don't want to say it, forget it. What I dislike the most is reluctance, but the number and methods of your experiments may increase in the future, but they are all contributing to the scientific development of my human civilization. I believe you will definitely Will not refuse."

"Hopefully next time we will have the opportunity to have this kind of conversation."

After saying these words, Xu Lei didn't have the slightest intention of nostalgia, and immediately got up and left.

As for Xingtong, he followed closely behind.

If Mesti was still extremely determined, then after hearing Xu Lei's words, he suddenly panicked.

For him, the two-day experiment experience was simply a nightmare.

It was something that had never been experienced in the Herald Empire.

A double torment of body and mind.

It is entirely up to his willpower to persevere.

Because he knew that sooner or later the imperial fleet would come here to save him.

But if the number and methods of being tested are increased, it may not be possible to persist. In this matter, Mosti has no confidence in himself.

No exaggeration to say.

During the few seconds when Xu Lei took a step, Mesti struggled many times in his mind.

In the end, as if he had finally made a decision, he suddenly called out Xu Lei from behind: "Wait a minute!"

"Why, our lord bishop is going to change his mind." Xu Lei stopped slowly when he heard the sound, and turned around to respond to this sentence, his eyes were full of teasing.

His judgment was indeed correct.

Even high-status extraterrestrial beings cannot stick to their hearts in human experiments.

Mesti is the best example.

But this is just convenient for him, and he can easily get the information he wants.

At this time, Mesti will definitely not regret and anger Xu Lei again. After taking a deep breath, he replied: "In addition to our pioneer star, there are indeed other star gates around this galaxy, which are left over from the relocation of civilization. Yes, because there are so many less rules that even the subjects of my pioneer empire sometimes use."

"Great, where is it?" Xu Lei was very excited when he heard the news.

"According to what you humans call it, it should be Proxima Centauri." Mesti spoke slowly and said a very familiar name.

Xu Lei never expected that the Proxima Centauri, which is well-known to mankind, had civilizations long ago, and it also left a space channel like a star gate.

The key point is that Mesti did not have any abnormal mental fluctuations when he said this sentence, which shows that it is true.

There is no false information.

After finally getting the information he wanted, Xu Lei couldn't help feeling much more relaxed.

At least there has been progress against the threat of the Herald Imperial Fleet.

In this case, he will not continue to stay, and hurry up to return to the planet to study the way to the Proxima Centauri is the main topic.

"Congratulations on making a right choice." After saying this to Mesti again, Xu Lei didn't waste any more time, and immediately turned and left with Xingtong.

But Xu Lei didn't know, just after he walked out of the room, Mesti's face turned cold instantly, and he murmured to himself: "Even if you know the location of the star gate, so what if you use the star gate?" Whether it is a door or a registered civilization, it is not a simple matter."

Mesti said the information about Proxima Centauri not just to prevent it from being studied experimentally.

What's more important is that he is well aware of the situation there, and he is convinced that even if Xu Lei can reach Proxima Centauri safely, he will not be able to go to Seitan to register the solar system civilization in the Galactic Civilization Management Branch.

It might not even come back safely.

When the empire's fleet arrives, the final winner will still be Mesti.
