Chapter 235: Battle of Ascension
"What is the Ascension Battle?" Li Feng asked. Every time he met No. 3, he felt like a child facing a huge database, trying to extract a few words from this huge treasure house. However, this database has its own consciousness and is of bad character. Even so, Li Feng still couldn't help but ask questions. After all, everything from tens of thousands of years ago, or even a hundred thousand years ago, is really fascinating.
Even Er Gouzi stopped making a fuss at this time. He lay quietly beside him, put his head on the floor, and pricked up his ears to listen to what No. 3 would say.
Fortunately, No. 3 did not show any disgust towards Lifeng's question. Instead, he seemed very happy and proud, just like a person who possessed a treasure and couldn't help but show it off. For him, although he was a silicon-based life created by carbon-based life, it was also a source of pride to be able to surprise other carbon-based life.
"Ascension War, as the name suggests, is a war to upgrade a certain existence. Here it mainly refers to the evolutionary wars carried out by the intelligent races that are subordinate civilizations of some main civilizations, under the leadership of the main civilization, in order to obtain equal coexistence." The robot controlled by No. 3 blinked at the right time, as if telling a very interesting joke. "This may be difficult to understand, but you have to know that before the rise of that man and the Earth civilization he led, the relationship between the various civilizations in the Milky Way and their subordinate civilizations was a relationship between masters and servants or even slaves." (I recommend the science fiction book "Ascension War" by American science fiction writer David Brin, which is magnificent and exciting .)
"When that man and the Earth civilization he led rose, the Earth civilization not only included the Earth humans, but also included the T virus that coexisted with the Earth's new humans, as well as some accelerated-evolving apes on Earth, and of course some other intelligent life. The relationship between these intelligent lives and the humans who make up the main civilization of the Earth civilization is an equal friendship, and they have played a huge role in the rise of the Earth civilization.
"The role played by these equal intelligent life forms in the rapid rise of Earth civilization has been seen and remembered by other biological civilizations. After research, they found that, first of all, vassal civilizations are extremely important, because each intelligent race has its own strengths and weaknesses, and many vassal civilizations can make up for the weaknesses of the main civilization. At the same time, intelligent life that has an equal relationship with the main civilization can play a role that is countless times more powerful than slave intelligent life.
"Therefore, when that person led the main body of Earth civilization to disappear, other civilized races immediately began to strengthen the cultivation of their own subordinate intelligent life, so that it reached the scale of a 'civilized race'. For example, some intelligent civilizations would develop their close relatives among their own biological species, just like primates to Earth humans, and some would cultivate some creatures at the top of the abyss civilization and the end of the reptile civilization. In fact, among these intelligent creatures, artificial intelligence is the easiest to cultivate. Almost all races have chosen artificial intelligence as one of their options.
"Of course, now almost all the civilized races in the entire Milky Way that have leapt civilizations and above have their own vassal races, but only a few can truly achieve equal relations with their vassal races... Including the angels, they only treat their vassal races as servants, not slaves..." Number Three concluded with regret, obviously thinking of the fact that he, as a powerful artificial intelligence and a vassal intelligent creature of the angels, had to be destroyed at the end of each era.
"So this is the 'Ascension War'..." Li Feng said to himself, and turned to look at Er Gouzi, and thought of the Zerg King Clan represented by Mu Qi. The history of this Ascension War also enlightened him on how to deal with the relationship with the Zerg and the Beast Clan.
Number Three blinked again and said, "Yes, that's what impressed me about you. You can actually cooperate with the intelligent Zerg... Those lances and weapons are all prepared for the Zerg warriors. I can give you these weapons within two weeks, but there is a condition."
Richemont smiled and said, "Conditions? Isn't the initiative in my hands now? Well, I've changed my mind again. I'll double the amount of supplies and weapons and double the number of fortifications in Dawn Fortress. In addition, I must get your research data on my body cells as soon as possible."
"Very good, I understand your feelings ." Number Three put away his smile and said expressionlessly, "But you should also understand that we are now on the same side. Do you really think that you can fight against the twelve archangels without my help? Let me tell you, even in the last era, there were countless warriors like you all over the world. Young man, I don't have much patience. Even if it is to fulfill an old man's wish, you must go to the underground base in the ruins of Tongcheng to get something for me."
Seeing that No. 3 was still chatting and laughing just now, but suddenly changed his face faster than turning a page of a book, Li Feng couldn't help but curse inwardly. However, he also knew that what No. 3 said were very realistic problems. If this silicon-based brain was really pushed to a corner, he might really disappear and hide for another ten thousand years, waiting for the next era. Moreover, when he heard that No. 3's request was to enter the underground of the Tongcheng ruins to take something, Li Feng laughed inwardly.
After returning from Tongcheng, when he gradually adapted to the changes in his body, he felt that the blue gelatinous mass in his body seemed to have sensed some kind of call, and the place where the call was located was the underground of Tongcheng! Several times, he considered whether to return to Tongcheng and then drill into the black hole where the blue gelatinous mass appeared to find out what was going on. No. 3's request just happened to coincide with his idea.
Judging from the other party's request, there is obviously something extremely important underground in Tongcheng , and that thing seems to be what No. 3 has always coveted. Moreover, he can feel that after obtaining the blue gelatin ball, Tongcheng is no longer a dangerous place for him, but rather feels like his own backyard.
However, Lifeng still put on a sad and angry expression, and at the same time controlled his body temperature to show a look of rage, and shouted in a low voice: "Do you know that I almost got killed in that place? Number Three, don't go too far! Although I can't compete with you now, aren't you afraid that I will be in trouble and attract the attention of the current twelve archangels?"
Seeing Lifeng's look, No. 3 couldn't help but take a step back and said, "Well, as long as you help me take out that thing, I promise to provide you with the weapons technology of the angels, and even a robot army to help you clean up the Chuancheng Fortress, clean up the Zerg, and even fight against the current twelve archangels. I can even provide you with a generational spaceship, and you and your people can all leave the earth, no longer have to struggle and fight here, and start a new life! How about it!? Of course, all this will be fulfilled after you take out that thing."
This generous condition made Lifeng stunned. Compared with the previous ones, the things promised by No. 3 this time were like Alibaba's treasury and beggar's broken bowl. It can be seen how important the thing hidden deep under the ruins of Tongcheng is! It can even allow No. 3 to fight against the current twelve archangels after getting it! Obviously, the importance of this thing made No. 3 lose his sense of proportion and made an astonishing promise to Lifeng.
Li Feng took a deep breath and pretended to be thinking deeply. After about five minutes, he slowly nodded and said, "Okay, but before that, I need you to provide enough weapons and supplies to help me clear out the small bases within 200 kilometers around, and build a new fortress in Hongcheng in the west. Of course, the new cavalry corps of the Dawn SS must be established, otherwise I can't leave with peace of mind." Li Feng's eyes were full of anxiety, as if he had made the biggest concession.
Number Three readily agreed immediately. He had been waiting for 20,000 years, so a few days wouldn't matter to him.
"Very good, then let's get started." Richemont nodded heavily and said.
