The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Oregana watched the medical robot taking care of the slaves lying on the chairs, and moved her wrist a little.

These slaves are bound by teachings and beliefs in the afterlife, and it takes a long time to go through conventional education and revision—first of all, they have to gain their trust, let them open their hearts, and then re-educate step by step, and the "afterlife" cannot be explained by explanation. What is proved is not clear at all.Therefore, Oregana chose to use the most direct method.

That is to show them directly.

After death, most of the consciousness enters the subspace and integrates into the energy tide of the subspace in various ways, becoming a part of the world itself; a small part enters another world to live again after being washed away from the part of memory; There are also cases such as reincarnation in another world, all compiled into small popular science videos, and then directly shown to these slaves through psionic transmission-this set of equipment is usually used by Tartarus' original psionic corps'chorus' Playing stealth games, Sea Rabbit has always wanted to civilianize this, but long-term psychic stimulation of the brain will cause danger, so it has been only used inside Tartarus, and to entertain friends from other civilizations.For example, the so-and-so of the Takamachi family, the so-and-so of the Ba family, the so-and-so of the Testarossa family and the so-and-so who has no mouth.

The name of these chairs is actually 'Multifunctional Psionic Infiltration Projection Equipment', which is classified in entertainment products...

In the ancient past, the train on the movie screen could send moviegoers running in fright, and the information input produced by the psionic projection device would give these people an absolute sense of presence-this is also a kind of shock therapy.The stories described by mouth and scriptures are far inferior to the impact of being on the scene. When you see, touch, smell, hear, use every cell to feel the movement of the subspace, use every inch Mind bears the flames of warp energies... the dull stuff the priests say will be worthless.

After that, re-education becomes an easy task.And they, the Batarians who know the way slaves think, understand their pain and doubts, will be the cornerstones of the new Batarians—they will then persuade and lead their enslaved Those chains.Construct a new regime to establish a new order after the old cake has been (harmoniously) crushed.

This is not a large-scale charity event, and the mass death of Batarian people in a short period of time cannot be accepted.In the past thousands of years, the Batarian belief system and population size have led to a single large amount of negative emotional output for a long time, which has a great possibility of causing an amazing energy accumulation in the subspace-this is in It has been confirmed in the observation two days ago.

Although the quality and quantity are far from enough, it is still reminiscent of the grievances and hatred between the Eldar and Salex.

The Batarians are really creating gods unconsciously. If they are placed in the Dimensional Sea World, the gods that Batarians believe in and their past and present lives must have been realized within the scope of belief transmission.Therefore, it is necessary to change Batary's thought trend, and let this energy dissipate with the change of thinking mode and emotion.If you accidentally increase the size at this time... there is a real chance that something amazing will appear.

Under normal circumstances, this is not the case, because it is difficult for the thoughts of intelligent creatures to go together. Everyone has different wishes and demands. Even if there is a widely spread religion, there are mostly weak believers and the duration is not long— ——Because with the development of society and the advancement of technology, people think about whether there are problems in the earliest classics, and then question the religion itself. At this time, the accumulated tiles in the subspace are not enough to give Any decent feedback, and eventually religion becomes a tradition.People regard it as a kind of culture, but they no longer worship and believe in it like in the past. The trend of thought will naturally be cut off, and the subspace will continue to return to disorder.

There are basically two situations that can last for a long time, one is that the "god" does exist, such as the elemental elves in the Ring of Nuer, and the wandering subspace creatures are worshiped as gods; the other is the inner closed Mind link, which would create something like a racial mind between the physical universe and the warp, such as the Kala of Protos, and various hive minds (non-hive minds).

Lasting for thousands of years, tens of billions of believers, more than [-]% of strong believers, slavery... Why can they maintain this state and enter the interstellar era?Is it really because of the 'alien astray' effect brought about by Mass Effect technology?

All in all, in a worst-case scenario, a Reaper attack could simultaneously trigger a wave of warp storms and a variable number of darkworm invasions.In this regard, Oregana can only choose to make adequate preparations in all aspects as much as possible——

The fleet is looking for the Reaper's standby place, the transportation facilities are being arranged, and the technical exchanges with the Star Alliance are still continuing. The intelligence network of the Shadow Brokers is used to cut off the collectors' wings, add sensors and beacons, and deploy battle fortresses in the Jieshen galaxy. Fortify some of the node galaxies, cooperate with Cerberus' actions to gather and protect civilians, put the Ark ship on standby, and reserve the drag racing at the rear...

These tasks have not stopped for a moment, and the operation against Batari is also a part of it.

She doesn't think that each of these preparations will come in handy, but each of them may save countless lives at a critical moment, so it is necessary to invest energy and resources.

And now the first batch of slaves is also an important training target.But all the high-level people in Tartarus, and even the big bald tattooed boy who is playing with the Kirahani at the moment, believe that people's abilities can be high or low, and the tenacity or weakness of the will varies from person to person. After all, there are only a few.They may be able to follow the leader forward, but they cannot bear the heavy responsibility of the leader.

Will 'Spartacus' be among the 300?

Just as she was thinking this way, she suddenly saw someone moving.

"Ok?"

One of the slaves suddenly moved, he stood up unsteadily from his chair, covered in sweat, the focus of his eyes was obviously out of focus, but he was still looking at this side, staring straight at Stare at yourself.This person's consciousness still maintains himself under the influence of the psionic projection system. This person—from the data point of view, is a gladiator—is still thinking, and his brain activity is abnormally high.

"Boss?" a crazy doctor asked, "Do you need to increase the intensity?"

"No, we think this guy would be a good fit to be 'Spartacus.'" She smiled from under her helmet. "Leave him to us."

"Yes!"

----

Seeing the man waving to her, Ziketa said:

"Come with us, we'll show you the evidence."

The voice was majestic and powerful, but without any malice, it was trustworthy.Ziketa took one last look at the body in the chair and followed.Every time he took a step, he felt that his body was disappearing, and everything around him became cold and slowly receded, but when he walked to the side of the red-armored warrior, this discomfort disappeared immediately.

In the strange and unique tide around her, her side is as quiet and stable as a room in a storm, staying there seems to be able to overlook the entire Milky Way—but it’s not the Milky Way, it’s like... the back of the world .Ziketa had never had this concept before, but now he understood it almost immediately.

Of course, this is not because Ziktar can understand it at a glance, but because his consciousness was brought into the subspace by the Great Demon of Khorne, but his body remained in place. Into his brain, let him understand in a smooth transition, and understand and accept through the picture in front of him.For example, it’s like you are looking at the animal world, and the leopard is running on the savannah on the screen. This is the first time you have seen this cute animal. You don’t know what it is and what its characteristics are, and Teacher Zhao The voice just appeared, introducing you, telling you that this is a leopard, running fast, and then you figured it out right away—although the implementation method is quite far behind, the essence is roughly the same.

That set of chairs is actually a multimedia device for entertainment. (emphasize again)

In this grotesque, Ziketa looked outside, and some human-shaped things were shaking, they were up and down in the indescribable waves, and in the process, their shapes gradually disintegrated, making people look very disturbed.He suppressed his mood and boldly asked:

"Master... Legion Commander, this is?"

Oregana said:

"That's death." She pointed to the fragments of consciousness that gradually merged into the subspace and explained, "Most of the souls of the dead are like this, slowly sinking into the subspace. The power contained in the soul, that is, the emotions are absorbed by the subspace itself." Absorption, the core of losing these things is like a ray of aftermath, and eventually calms down - if someone misses him, then these people's thoughts will continue to inject energy into the 'core', no matter what kind of emotion it is, hatred or longing, It can make him last longer in the subspace."

Ziketa didn't doubt Oregana's words - because it was exactly what he felt.In this place, my senses are extended in an unprecedented way, allowing me to read many things that I would not even notice at ordinary times.This feeling is novel and exhilarating, but also terrifying.What overflowed from those 'fragments' was exactly the same 'taste' that I felt when I witnessed so many deaths in the past... that is only recognizable by someone who has been between life and death more than once smell.

That was indeed what is called a 'soul', and this had a strong tingle in Ziketa's heart.He felt a burst of ecstasy:

"After this... what will happen?"

"When the targeted emotion of the last person disappears, this soul will be unsustainable." Oregana looked at those swaying figures, and the light of stars floated from them, and then was submerged by the waves of the subspace, just Like the candle boat floating on the Santu River in "Hell Girl", flickering a little fire in the dark, presenting a sense of sadness and illusion "But if they become praised heroes, or hateful villains, then they even May drift in the warp for thousands of years, or even become something else - such as a powerful creature of the warp. People's ideas give them a position and a way of thinking, which people call 'good' and 'evil' .”

"God... came from... people?" Ziketa's voice was trembling, he suppressed the fluctuating heart, and asked anxiously to the warrior in front of him who gave people a sense of reassurance and admiration, "This is... the real... Afterlife?"

"For the most part. But there are exceptions..."

Afterwards, the head of the Oregana Legion also said a lot of things, which mentioned 'crossing', 'dump truck', 'calling from another world', 'earth-bound spirit', 'voiding', 'yajin extraction' , "Riding on a baby girl robot" and other difficult words.But one thing is very clear, she has been emphasizing that this is a very small minority, an astonishingly low proportion, and there is no 'artificially manipulated afterlife' at all.

This shows what?

This shows that everything the priest said was false!Even if they resist, they can't curse themselves to suffer another life!Even if he dies, the worst thing is to disappear and get eternal peace. Compared with being a slave life after life, what is there to be afraid of?He wanted to laugh, he wanted to laugh, and since he was sensible in school, Ziketa had never wanted to laugh so much.

It's like the carefree, relaxed and unrestrained smile of a traveler who has trekked in the desert and finally saw the oasis, and rushed into the water quickly.This is exactly what I want to know!Great!Great!damn it!Why didn't I know this years ago!Why has no one known in the past few thousand years! ! !

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ! !

Regardless of the legion commander in front of him, he knelt down and laughed loudly, but with a smile, tears poured out from his four eyes together with stronger emotions—that was rage and resentment.

"They lied to us! Lied to all Batarians! Thousands of years! We have been fooled for thousands of years!"

Past life, past life!

It was precisely because of this set of rhetoric that I was forced to kill those unfamiliar and familiar people, so that my hands were covered with blood, and the result was just to make fun of others.The slaves worked hard all their lives deceived by this rhetoric, but in the end they got nothing.In an instant, a complex and intense emotional eruption erupted like a volcano—the humiliation of being enslaved, the resentment of being deceived, the sadness of being forced to kill a friend, and the shame of trying to convince myself to continue doing this, The combination of these complex emotions finally formed a cold and scorching killing intent.

Others will be saved, but someone will have to pay the price...

It was at this time that Oregana's voice rang in Ziketa's mind:

"Now, there are several roads in front of you." When he raised his head, he happened to meet those red eyes, which were filled with encouragement, support and tolerance "First, forget your past, do An ordinary person, just live a life in peace like this; second, seize the opportunity, bring your compatriots together, break the shackles that have locked you and the entire Batary for thousands of years-make Choose, Ziketa!"

She turned her back to the grotesque light in the warp, her dim figure was like a silhouette, only those red eyes were so dazzling.This scene was deeply etched into Ziketa's mind.

There is a king of the world who is guiding the way of my life.

Day and night, she showed the world as it was and showed me who I should be.The haze was dispelled, the noose around his neck was removed... he had escaped from the wheel of fate for thousands of years, and the sky was bright.

He raised his head, and for the first time, the light and spirit appeared in his four eyes:

"Do you still need to ask? I will use the iron of that shameful chain to forge a sharp dagger! I will tell my fellow countrymen the truth, then smash the shackles, and throw the broken chain on the faces of those high-ranking nobles!!"

"Very well...let us help you."

Chapter 1225 Chapter 242: History is the best strategy book (sure)

Ziketa felt his heart pounding, his blood burning in his chest.Because he hadn't read any books, he didn't quite understand the complicated truths. He only knew that he finally had a chance to save his compatriots.But Oregana immediately poured cold water on him—the two buckets just picked up under the faucet, a stroke of ice, and asked three straightforward questions——

How to maintain social order and manage tens of billions of people?

How to ensure logistics and supplies between planets?

How to keep technology and talents, and maintain industrial production?

Four-eyed Spartacus couldn't answer a single question, and he didn't even think about it.Before, all he thought of was killing or driving away the slave owners and nobles, but now thinking about it...

As soon as I thought about it... I broke out in a cold sweat.Because if the rebel army cannot solve the above three problems simply by eradicating the high-level slaves, hell will follow after that.How easy is it to solve these three problems?Who among the slaves knows such high-level things?And not to mention whether slaves can, even the current Batari cake layer can't.

Because slaves do not provide a market, but when they are no longer slaves, all kinds of needs will burst out in one go.The current batari cake has never led a country with tens of billions of 'people'. What this rebel army wants to challenge is the extremely difficult problem that batari has never challenged in thousands of years of history.Even the technology in the arena cannot be used in modern warfare.

How to do it?

The answer is to take a crash course and study hard.

This temporary school was set up on a Minmatar Typhoon-class battleship, where three hundred slaves studied the knowledge and skills they needed.

"This is……?"

Melkey ​​(a former serf) flipped through the textbook and asked:

"The history of mankind in the first place?"

"That's right, there are a lot of records of uprisings in the history of mankind, some successful and some failed." The teacher in charge of teaching is naturally a temporary one Daedalus "Learn these histories and find out the reasons for their failures - think To liberate the Batarians, bravery is not the most important part, you have to broaden your horizons and find what you really need!"

"Yes!"

Ziketa nodded slightly, he touched the electronic board in front of him lightly, and put on the earphones.On the first page, there are many human beings. They are standing on the black muddy ground. Everyone is wearing only rough clothes, with angry expressions on their faces.The two people in the middle raised their fists high and roared with their mouths wide open—although the text below had been translated into Batarian, Ziketa couldn't read it completely.

But this is not a problem. In order to allow slaves with low education levels to read, this textbook has already completed full voice processing when it is distributed to everyone.He touched the line of words, and a man's voice sounded next to his ears, and he recited the above words in a clear tone——

The Daze Township Uprising, also known as the "Chen Sheng Wu Guang Uprising", was part of the Peasant War at the end of the Qin Dynasty, [-] years ago...

It was so long ago...

Ziketa frowned as he looked at these people who were obviously still in primitive times.Were humans in that era still in this almost primitive state?You know, Batarians entered the universe and joined the Citadel more than 2000 years ago, and at about the same point in time, the Krogan were fighting a brutal war with the Rakhni Zerg. This difference is simply surprising. , for humans at that time, this kind of civilization and war probably surpassed all myths and legends.

But in the few decades since human beings entered the universe, they were able to fight evenly with the powerful Turians in local wars, and after that, repeatedly defeated Batari's attacks, as a young to exaggerated civilization, human beings are so strong that they are terrifying.In the past, no aliens have ever seriously studied the history of human beings, neither the Turians, nor the Asari, nor the Batarians. Perhaps I am the first batch of people who have settled down to seriously explore these stories Batarians?

The powerful secret of human beings may be hidden in these paragraphs of text.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and his hands trembled.Because at this moment, a sentence rang in his ears——

The death of a warrior will surely make his name known to future generations. Are powerful and noble people born nobler than others?

Ziketa listened to it several times, and felt that this statement was simply wonderful.He tried to read it a few times, but he felt a little unsmooth. Although he understood the meaning, it lacked a lot of meaning.He understood that this feeling was caused by the loss of information and alienation caused by language translation, and decided to ask the teacher what the original text of this sentence was.

It must be a voice full of ideals, passion (harmony) and a sense of power.

However, the story ended with the betrayal of the warriors, much to Ziketa's shock.

"In the uprisings of all dynasties, the vast majority of those who first raised the banner will fail." At this time, Daedalus tapped on the whiteboard and said to all the students in the entire classroom, "Let's start with this example. The file turns to page six."

……

"It looks good." Oregana looked at the picture sent by the camera at the back of the classroom, showing a nostalgic expression. "It was the same when we were in college. It was a big classroom, the teacher spoke in front, and the students sat in the ring. They listened on the chairs they had arranged. But they listened more seriously than we did back then."

"You were the type who didn't pay attention to the class at that time, right?" War Scythe folded his arms beside him, "Playing "Pokemon" in the military theory class?"

"No, we are the type to listen carefully to the class, but the guy who has a good relationship with us is not." Oregana shook her head. "He looks at Saber in class every day, and then calls us 'Wrestlers'."

"...were you a muscular monster at that time?" Liu Lizi stood beside her with her tail up and down, looking up and down at her boss, with eyes like a beast, "I can't tell at all."

"How is it possible, we don't have that monster muscle."

"Why is that?"

"Because we were able to cut through a three-centimeter-thick iron rod with a hand saw in five minutes during our fitter training."

"?!" The sunglasses guy was dumbfounded
