Galaxy Domination Guide

Chapter 23 Hope or Despair

Bai Zhongqi quickly dug out his computer, since the air battle broke out over San Francisco, he was in no mood to open the game at all.He has been playing this game for a long time. Although it is a small audience, he does not feel any difference. He never imagined that the battleships and his unique imperial coat of arms that appeared in the game actually appeared in reality, and brought The fleet with the imperial coat of arms is ready to destroy the earth at any time.

"Is there anything more ridiculous than this?" Bai Zhongqi was in a messy state.

While opening the game, he looked for information about the game on the Internet.In the past, Bai Zhongqi didn't like how to communicate when playing strategy games, he liked to explore the gameplay by himself, especially in sandbox games like this, it was very boring to play according to other people's methods.Today, when the warship that should be in the game is parked in the earth orbit and has just blown up an unknown number of nuclear weapons launched by the United States, Bai Zhongqi frantically searched for all relevant information.

But to despair, Bai Zhongqi found nothing.He couldn't even find the web page where he downloaded the game.The content displayed in the search engine is all irrelevant content with similar keywords, and it is not the game that Bai Zhongqi wants to find.

The game opened, but it was different from the usual login screen.An original painting background that Bai Zhongqi has never seen, with a few words displayed in the middle - updating.Below is the progress bar running slowly.

Seeing this scene, Bai Zhongqi had a hunch that it really was.He had never seen a game update before, and as soon as the mysterious alien fleet appeared, the game was actually updated, no matter how he thought about it, there was a problem.

After the torturous wait, the game was re-logged in, and the entire game screen had undergone a fundamental change.The background picture of the main menu looks taller, a mighty and majestic battleship is on an interstellar voyage, and the blue planet is behind it.Bai Zhongqi was stunned, this warship was clearly the appearance of the large warship announced by XH Agency, and the blue planet, although the outline of the land was not very clear, but nine out of ten it was the home of mankind, Earth.

Bai Zhongqi fiddled with the game, unexpectedly found that there was no option to start a new game in the main interface, only to load past game saves.And there is actually only one game archive left, which is the one that created the Iridium United Empire.These changes made Bai Zhongqi more certain that the fleet that appeared outside the earth was very likely to be the fleet that he lost in the game not long ago.I don't know what happened, the fleet in the game traveled to its own world.

The craziest idea is in Bai Zhongqi's mind now, maybe that mysterious alien fleet really comes from the game, and he can control this fleet, thus avoiding a devastating disaster on the earth.

However, after Bai Zhongqi loaded the save file, he found that the game still seemed to be the same.The huge United Empire is still running in an orderly manner, and some notifications pop up from time to time that he, the head of the empire, needs to deal with, including the successful research and development of new technologies, and the financial deficit or surplus of a certain administrative star of the empire.He can control countless imperial warships and mobilize tens of millions of bionic and artificial soldiers, but, let alone how to control this fleet that is suspected to be lost in the game, Bai Zhongqi can't even find anyone with this fleet in the game Additional information about.He kept flipping through his game log, and found the message that the R19 exploration fleet disappeared.He even read the reminders of the completion of each warship in the fleet and the information about the formation of the fleet, but these were of no use.

Bai Zhongqi studied every command of the game, including saving, loading, setting volume and screen brightness, etc. After exiting the game save and looking for something that might be useful in the main menu, Bai Zhongqi still found nothing.Bai Zhongqi, who doesn't believe in evil, even quit the game and went directly to the root directory of the game to find clues.After opening the root directory folder, Bai Zhongqi was completely stunned.The root directory displayed by the game is actually blank, not even an EXE program file.Bai Zhongqi repeatedly confirmed that it was not that any files were hidden, but that there was nothing in the root folder.Because right-clicking to open the properties of the folder shows that the size is 0.00K...

This is simply impossible!

The hopes that had just sprouted were all shattered at this moment.Bai Zhongqi once again questioned whether his guess was correct, but various evidences indirectly pointed out that the lost R19 fleet was exactly the mysterious fleet that was threatening the earth. It was also a battlecruiser, a heavy cruiser, and two light escorts ship and a colony base ship.Although the reconnaissance ship did not appear in the news pictures, it stands to reason that this spaceship should be secretly performing reconnaissance missions, and it is normal not to see it.

"Could it be that, as the dignified head of the empire, will he be wiped out on the earth by a fleet under his command that can't be ranked at all?" Bai Zhongqi was full of despair. He couldn't use this golden finger, and became the target of the golden finger's destruction.

No one on earth understands the operation mechanism of the Iridium fleet better than Bai Zhongqi. As an exploration fleet, it even carries colony ships. If a habitable planet is found, and it is a weak planet that is as weak as the earth, the fleet will definitely launched an occupation war.If you are lucky, Bai Zhongqi may survive this colonial war and become an "indigenous person" naturalized by the R19 fleet. If you are unlucky, Bai Zhongqi may directly become a victim of the war.

He is obviously the master of creation, but now he is going to be destroyed by creation, Bai Zhongqi's helplessness at this moment is beyond words.But Bai Zhongqi did not give up completely, he had to do everything possible to bridge this possible war.In fact, it is not appropriate to call it a war. This is unilateral massacre and beating. It is impossible for the earth to fight back in front of Iridium technology.Bai Zhongqi needed a means to be able to contact the R19 fleet, and also needed to win the trust of the commander of this fleet.However, there are too many uncertainties in this.Are there real humans in the fleet?If there were humans, how would they react if they knew they were in the game?Are they going to admit to themselves a no-nonsense guy as their leader?
Bai Zhongqi has no extravagant hopes at all, he can really have this interstellar fleet that can crush the earth, all he counts on is that the earth will not be destroyed, and human beings will not become slaves of the Iridium people.

"No matter what, I will live on." Bai Zhongqi insisted on himself, at least he has a direction now, although he has no clue, but he believes that there is no unparalleled road, and he will definitely find a way.At least, the earth can be preserved.

Thus, the fate of a planet fell on the shoulders of a 25-year-old young man.

——Cut camera——

Bai Zhongqi didn't know, but the moment he turned on the game, it caused quite a commotion in the Iridium fleet in Earth's orbit!

Suddenly, all the normal displays of the Holy Falcon stopped, and large golden characters appeared on every display screen, and there was a sentence written:

"The supreme command has been received, the great head of the empire, glory and wisdom are with you."

Every battleship in the entire fleet received the same message, and everyone couldn't help but cheer after seeing this message.On the bridge of the Holy Falcon, all serving officers stood up from their seats, stood up straight, and saluted the military straight ahead.Disbelief was written all over everyone's face, with pride and excitement being the most prevalent.

Among them, Xu Lanzhou, who was influenced by family education since childhood, was full of reverence for the head of the empire, and even had overwhelming admiration for the fleet commander. A drop of clear tears fell from the corner of her bright eyes full of joy due to the pent-up emotions of the past few days.

"I knew it, I knew it, even if we travel to another universe, the head of state can find us, won't give up on us, and guide us!"

Fleet staff officer Xian Rong was also very excited. Everyone in the R19 fleet was nervous when they first crossed. They left their homeland and came to a strange place, not knowing what they were going to face.But when the supreme order really appeared, everyone felt dependent.The head of state is the greatest strength of the Iridium people. His wisdom and wisdom have led the Iridium for thousands of years and created a strong and enduring United Empire.

"Commander, this is the first time I have really seen the supreme order. I used to hear the legend of receiving the supreme order on the battlefield from my seniors, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today!" Xian Rong said excitedly.

Xu Lanzhou nodded, her mood obviously improved a lot. In fact, this was the first time she received a supreme order, and she was no less excited than others.

Xu Lanzhou took a step forward and said to the AI ​​of the Holy Falcon: "Holy Falcon, announce the supreme order, and every soldier in the empire will fight to the end for the supreme order!"

The battleship AI paused for a moment, and then a voice with a cool machine taste sounded: "This ship has received the activation information of the Supreme Command, and the Supreme Command has not issued tasks for this ship and other ships of the R19 fleet. This ship judges, the Supreme Command Orders were issued to other space army units or administrative planets."

Xu Lanzhou froze for a moment: "What? Didn't the Supreme Command issue an order to us?"

But soon, she realized something and said loudly: "Impossible, in the previous situations where the supreme order was issued, it has never been communicated to non-mission-related imperial units. If the head of state did not give us instructions, why would we Received the signal of the activation of the Supreme Command?"

The voice of the battleship AI is still cold, but the content of the reply is humane: "Because the Supreme Command is too close to this ship this time, this ship received the signal of the Supreme Command when the Supreme Command was issued."

Xu Lanzhou suddenly trembled uncontrollably. She looked at the display in disbelief, and subconsciously looked at the blue planet 20 kilometers away.

"What do you mean?"

The display screen suddenly displayed an electronic map, with a small red dot marked on a position in San Francisco on the west coast of the United States. The battleship AI explained: "The supreme command conveyed the position. This ship has mastered it. Congratulations, Commander, you are 5000 years old. Since then, the first imperial general to find the hermitage of the head of state has brought back the soul of the empire for the United Empire."

If the people on the bridge were still excited when they received the supreme order just now, what the Holy Falcon said at this time directly made them dull.In the United Empire, the head of the empire is a totem-like existence. Everyone is familiar with the history of him leading the twelve knights of destiny to create the empire; Effective organizational structure; everyone knows that the mysterious supreme order will guide the people of the empire to move forward and explore in the cold and cruel universe at any time; and everyone also knows that the empire does not have a portrait of the head of state. The statue also has no face. He has existed for thousands of years and has been guarding the empire, but no one has seen his true face for thousands of years.

Legend has it that the only person who has ever seen the head of the empire is his right-hand man, the Twelve Fate Knights.In the early days of the empire, it was the head of the empire who directly commanded the twelve knights to lay down the initial territory of the empire, which was the mother star of the empire-Iridium.

It is precisely because of this that many historians of the empire have doubted the real existence of such a role as the head of state.Some people even think that the so-called supreme order of the head of state may be a piece of god-level artificial intelligence code that exists in every imperial machine, continuously issuing orders to the Iridium people, and creating the current country.And the Iridium people are actually the enslaved people of a piece of AI code.

Obviously, the existence of the head of state is of great importance to this country, which determines the legitimacy of the state institutions, the status of the twelve knights of destiny and other nobles, and also determines the rationality of a series of military operations by the military.Later, in order to protect these interests, the Imperial Diet made special legislation, and anyone who criticized the existence of the imperial head of state and shaken the foundation of the empire would be directly executed.The rampant conspiracy theories and skeptical theories have finally come to an end, but even so, people can't help but wonder whether there has ever been a head of state in the empire.If it exists, can he really live for 5000 years?If so, where is he?

These questions have no answers.In the United Empire, the expedition to find the head of state has never stopped. Some people believe that the head of state of the empire is unwilling to enjoy the worship and fame of the people, so he has been living in seclusion in a remote corner of the universe, but he pays attention to it all the time. Leading the empire, and guiding the empire.Even the upper echelons and power holders of the empire hope to find the head of state.On the one hand, it provides legitimacy for their political operations. On the other hand, people will always be afraid of things that cannot be fathomed, and what can be seen and touched is always more reassuring.

Xu Lanzhou knew all the above things clearly, and he also imagined that one day he would be able to see the face of the head of state.But she never thought that people could not find the head of state because the head of state was not in the universe where the iridium star was located at all, but took refuge on a planet with a very backward development level in another universe.

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Xu Lanzhou's eyes were full of fire. She waved her hand extremely rarely, and with a woman's eager gesture, she ordered: "Prepare the landing craft and order the 'Night Hunter' flight team of this ship to escort. I will personally Go to Earth and welcome back the Head of State!"
