Wander! Blue Star People

Duke Leto returned to his castle. He walked into the conference room and sat on the chair without saying a word, only showing a worried expression.

"Your Majesty the Duke, what did they say?" Du Fei couldn't help but ask.

Duffy had just tested the coalition government's shields and learned exactly how the adjective "indestructible" should behave in reality.

As a Mentate, he understood what this shielding technology meant.

If Atreides can obtain this kind of shield technology, let alone the Harkonnen family, even the royal family will not be able to pose any threat to Atreides.

Atreides will be invincible!

To take a step back, even if Atreides cannot obtain this shield technology, as long as they become allies with the United Government, they can still protect themselves in the Galactic Empire.

At this moment, Dufey was eager to know the content of Duke Leto's conversation with the coalition government.

Duke Leto raised his head and said with melancholy: "They want to help us become the Galactic Emperor."

sieve--

In an instant, the entire conference room was as quiet as empty.

Everyone's eyes focused on Duke Leto's face, either in disbelief or in shock.

"Don't look at me like that." Duke Leto showed a helpless expression. He spread his hands and said in a slightly weird tone, "They really said that, and they only put forward one condition."

Du Fei carefully checked the silent beam in the conference room to make sure that the sound in the conference room could not be transmitted outside, and then cautiously asked: "What are the conditions?"

Jessica, Leto's concubine, felt a storm in her heart.

Jessica is the mother of Paul, the protagonist of "Dune", and is also a member of the Sisters. She was ordered by the Sisters to give birth to an heir for Duke Leto, which will be used to promote the breeding plan planned by the Sisters for thousands of years.

The sorority is actually a religious organization.

But unlike other religious orders, the Sisters neither wait for a savior nor worship a savior; they create a savior.

They believe that through long-term genetic selection, they can eventually create a special male.

Under the stimulation of the spice, this man can possess all the memories of his male and female ancestors, can become a humanoid computer Mentate, and can predict the future like a navigator.

He will sit on the Golden Lion Throne, rule the Empire, and most importantly, be controlled by the Sisters.

The sorority calls this man Quesaz Hardluck.

For thousands of years, the Sisters' breeding program has been infinitely close to success. Jessica's son, Paul, is the Quesaz Hadrak that the Sisters have been searching for for thousands of years.

Among the royal envoys who are about to come to the Atreides to read out the decree is the Virgin from the Sisterhood. This Virgin is Jessica's teacher and came specifically to observe whether Paul has the potential to become Quesaz Hadrak.

At this critical juncture, the United Government emerged and offered to help the Atreides become the new Galactic Emperor, something the Sisterhood had never expected.

If the Atreides ascended to the Golden Lion Throne and ruled the Galactic Empire without the Sisters' help, then Quesaz Hadrak, which the Sisters had spent thousands of years creating, would have nothing to do with the Sisters.

Jessica was very divided inside.

On the one hand, as Paul's mother, she hopes that Paul can live according to her own will; on the other hand, as a member of the sisterhood, she hopes to complete the sisterhood's breeding plan and create a savior who will obey the sisterhood's orders.

Before today, she had never felt so separated, because at that time she only had the option of being a member of the sisterhood, but the emergence of the coalition government gave her another option of being Paul's mother.

Jessica lowered her head to hide her inner uneasiness.

Neither Duke Leto nor Dufy noticed her abnormality. Duke Leto said to Dufy: "Their condition is to take away the entire Arrakis."

Take away a planet?

How can the coalition government be so capable?

Du Fei was stunned for a moment.

But he quickly reacted and asked with a frown: "Arrakis is the only place where spices are produced. Not to mention the method they plan to use to take away Arrakis, but without Arrakis, there will be no spices. In the future, we will How else can we conduct interstellar voyages?”

Jessica pursed her lips tightly, and the waves in her heart became more intense.

Spices are not only related to interstellar navigation, but their sisterhood also needs spices to cultivate truth masters who can use their voices to control people's behavior. Without Arrakis, the sisterhood would cease to exist!

"They plan to give us a set of programs for calculating navigation trajectories." Duke Leto showed a wry smile. He didn't know whether it was reliable to replace the navigator with a program. "At that time, they will add a protective shell to the program to prevent Others use this program to create artificial intelligence."

"Is it just a navigation procedure?" Duffy's brows did not relax.

He had no problem with using navigation programs to replace navigators, but spices were not just about interstellar travel.

The Galactic Empire fears computers like tigers and leopards, so for a long time, all scientific research work and massive paperwork of the Galactic Empire have been completed by Mentate who was cultivated with spices.

Once the supply of spices is cut off and Mentate is destroyed, who will do the future scientific research and paperwork?

If you want to use a program to replace the navigator, then use a program to replace the Mentat.

This requires a lot of procedures.

Even if the coalition government can provide these procedures to solve current problems, what should they do when they encounter new problems in the future? Do they ask the coalition government for help every time?

The coalition government comes from other river systems, and saying that taking Arrakis means leaving the galaxy.

It is a good thing for the new Galactic Empire that the United Government leaves the Milky Way, but after the United Government leaves the Galaxy, where will they find the United Government to solve their problems?

"Once we let them take away Arrakis, we will have to restart computer and artificial intelligence research." Duffy said in a heavy tone.

Although more than 10,000 years have passed, Du Fei is very familiar with the history of more than 10,000 years ago, and knows the tragic price that the ancestors at that time paid to suppress the intelligent rebellion.

"but."

Duffy changed the topic and said loudly: "This is completely acceptable to us, because if we do not cooperate with the coalition government, the best outcome for Atreides is to be trapped in Caladan and decline."

"But if we cooperate with the coalition government, Atreides can sit on the Golden Lion Throne and rule the galaxy!"

Duffy continued: "As for the hidden dangers of artificial intelligence, we can control the scope of computer technology research, only allow people we trust to research computer technology, and at the same time store a large amount of spices for emergencies."

As a Mentate who has countless wisdom stored in his mind, Duffy has long been dissatisfied with the Galactic Empire's behavior of choking and abandoning food. (End of chapter)
