Chapter 491: Labdo's Sorrow
After the key technology was "easily" mastered, Yang Ming took the initiative to ask the manager to move on to the next step.
"Sister Li, what are we going to do next?"
The figure of the young girl Li appeared in front of Yang Ming.
The response speed this time was fast enough.
"Now that we have the technology and the laboratory, the natural thing is to find experimental samples," Li crossed his arms, as if this would make him appear more confident.
Yang Ming looked into Li's eyes with a smile: "Then what? After getting the experimental sample, how can we revive Levi?"
Li said calmly: "As long as Levi's thinking consciousness body leaves the Imperial Star and enters the body of the experimental sample, it will be fine."
"You also heard what the professor said just now, Sister Li."
Yang Ming said seriously:
“Uploading and downloading thoughts will produce new minds, which may not necessarily be Levi.
"And if I understand correctly, after Levi's mind was downloaded from the virtual network world, he simply copied his own mind and overwrote it in the brain of the experimental sample."
Li explained: "As long as Levi is resurrected in reality, I will delete his data in the Imperial Star."
"Then why don't you just delete Levi's data now?"
"Because I can't kill Levi directly. I am Levi's companion mind. When Levi's mind dies, I will die. After the experimental sample survives normally, I will modify my core cognition and coexist with the experimental sample."
Yang Ming thought silently.
If you think about it logically, there is nothing wrong with it.
But Yang Ming could conclude without any reason that... Li was lying.
"OK."
Yang Ming said: "Give me the target's information and I will make the arrangements, or you can just pass it on to Lu directly."
The girl nodded slightly, and before disappearing, she stared at Yang Ming for a few seconds.
"Am I not wearing any clothes?" Yang Ming asked with a smile.
Li's figure disappeared as the projector automatically shut down , and Yang Ming's smile gradually faded.
"boss."
Lu's voice sounded:
"She has sent the target information. What's a little strange is that the target is a young woman. After comparing the target's gene sequence, it can be concluded that she is indeed a descendant of the Domingos. Her specific genes have many similarities with Captain Catherine. In a sense, this is indeed the best carrier of Levi's genes."
"Female?" Yang Ming was stunned.
"Yes, boss. It's a female college student."
Lu placed a projection of a young girl in front of Yang Ming.
The other person's appearance was not outstanding. In the somewhat "strange" social aesthetics of the Guell League, she could only be considered an ordinary person. Her figure was also quite ordinary. Although you couldn't see the fat around her waist, you could still see the beauty of her subcutaneous fat.
"Can she become the new carrier of Levi's mind body?"
“It’s possible.”
"How strange," Yang Ming pondered for a few seconds, "Mimili is protecting Kolev, right? It seems that I have to go there in person."
Lu asked softly, "Boss, do you need me to track Li's whereabouts?"
"Can it be tracked?"
"It's possible that she will be exposed," Lu said softly, "but I always feel that there are many unreasonable aspects of this Li. Her abilities are extremely weakened outside the empire, which does not match the situation of my previous encounters with Li."
"Follow them, and be as careful as possible."
Yang Ming stretched and said with a smile:
"We don't have much initiative right now, and the information she has is deadly enough for us.
“But if we just wait a little longer, until the Empire and the New Federation are bound together by the war, our pressure will be reduced by half.
"Just obey her first and see how things develop later."
Lu smiled and said, "Boss, you don't have to be too stressed. You know how fast we are developing. From a purely military perspective, time is on our side... In addition, you don't need to go find this young girl in person. I can use a little trick to attract her."
"How to attract?"
"The easiest way is to give her a travel voucher, or just kidnap her with a Terminator."
The lawyer suggested:
"We just need to say hello to Dodo Modo. He probably won't care about the fate of an individual human being."
"Lil, this isn't a good idea."
Yang Ming explained:
“The Alliance is a political system that places great emphasis on political correctness. We cannot make any mistakes of principle. Kidnapping is not an option.
"We can use some deceptive methods, at least not to leave any handle.
“Is she interested in beauty?”
Lu said softly: "She should be interested in it. She occasionally browses related information."
Yang Ming said calmly: "We will strengthen her brainwashing and make her anxious about her appearance. We will try to get her some beauty loans, and then we will guide her so that she will voluntarily become a sample for our experiment in exchange for sufficient compensation."
law:……
"Boss, this seems to be worse than kidnapping from a moral perspective."
"This way, even if the matter is exposed, it will not affect our relationship with the Guell Alliance regime."
Yang Ming shook his head:
"After this incident is over, we can give her enough material compensation. That's all we can do."
Ritsu muttered quietly, "This experiment is to overwrite her mind body. If the experiment succeeds, it will be equivalent to her non-existence."
Yang Ming paused.
He suddenly thought of the relationship between Third Mate Hamton and himself.
"Then you handle it, Lu. Just get her to the right place at the right time. I'll take the responsibility."
Yang Ming's eyes quickly regained clarity:
"The two procedures of building a laboratory and capturing experimental samples can delay as much time as possible until the New Federation and the Empire really start fighting."
"clear."
…
Admiral Thomas is feeling a little annoyed now.
He is at the border of the New Federation. The heavy troops gathered by the empire, a total of seven combat groups, are now directly dispatched by him. He is the commander-in-chief of this upcoming battle and the direct person in charge of this battle.
If he loses, he will take all the responsibility.
Winning is the glory of the entire military.
And now, Admiral Thomas looked at the order he had just received from the four elders of the military and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Delaying the war, continuing the bleeding, and creating pressure on the new federation;
This is the purpose of this war.
Thomas also obtained the specific combat process. To put it simply, the Empire would first occupy several habitable planets, plunder the population and seize resources, and then deliberately spread the Empire's crimes here to the New Federation, forcing the New Federation to engage in direct battle with them.
The New Federation has no bottom line;
Of course, the same is true for the Empire.
Considering that the New Federation might shrink its defenses and abandon these planets, Thomas also had to formulate some more risky tactics to lure the New Federation forward to fight with them.
If his own losses exceed those of the New Federation and this situation continues for a period of time, he will inevitably be held accountable.
"well."
Admiral Thomas sighed softly.
"General, you are worried."
A figure appeared on the porthole, and then quickly peeled off and filled in the porthole, becoming a realistic projection.
The spirited Royal Guard 2.0 Labdo appeared in front of Thomas with his latest short golden hair.
Labdo asked: "Are you expressing your concern about the future war situation? Or are you pitying these soldiers who are about to sacrifice everything for the empire?"
"Rabudo," Admiral Thomas asked with a frown, "You should have received the battle plan."
"Yes, General. We are going to wage a continuous war, bleed the New Federation, create panic, and keep our own losses at a low level."
Labdo smiled and said:
"This is not a difficult problem. I have passed the test and I can directly take over the command of the front line, General.
“What I am more worried about now is the subsequent supply line problem.
"There is some chaos in the empire right now. Many workers in military factories are on strike. With only the light industrial fleet, we can only meet the general needs of combat. If a few larger-scale wars break out, we will still need domestic material assistance."
Admiral Thomas did not say anything, but asked, "What do you think of this war?"
"It doesn't matter what I think," Labdo said with a smile, "All I need to do is to follow the orders I get. That's the whole meaning of my existence."
Thomas turned and looked at Labdo.
The smile on Labdo's lips was very stylized.
"Well, Labdo, use your own thinking ability to answer me. What do you think of the large-scale strikes and conflicts that are happening in the empire now?"
“This is a matter of class conflict that the Empire cannot resolve.”
Labdo's smile gradually faded, and he said seriously:
“The empire cannot find an effective balance between the nobility and the common people, and the current situation is inevitable.
“In fact, in my opinion, the real problem of the Empire is not these common people who are dissatisfied with the existence of the privileged class.
“Human beings are social creatures that pursue a sense of superiority and social presence. The main demand of the civilian class that is making trouble now is to amend the imperial law so that the aristocracy clearly stipulated in the imperial law will disappear.
“When the Empire adopts a repressive approach, or a more gentle approach, to suppress these riots and let the dignity of the civilians step down, the civilians will be resentful, but they will adapt to the subsequent life on their own and will succumb to the Empire’s force because they dare not face the threat of death.
“It’s like, if we want to suppress these civilian riots, we first announce a law - any civilian who participates in an armed march will be sentenced to three years in prison, and then when enforcing this law, we only detain them for a dozen days and impose a fine, then the civilians’ reaction will be much smaller.
“This is a normal human reaction.
“The real problem of the empire lies in the tens of billions of slaves and those who are not even included in the household registration system.
“When they start to riot, the empire uses force to suppress them, and the dignity of slaves is demoted. Then they will be left with nothing and unable to survive. They will not be able to adapt to such a life on their own.
"This is why the slaves dare not cause trouble at present, but it is also the biggest trouble for the empire."
Thomas said: "The Empire has now begun to plan a comprehensive suppression of the conflict between civilians and nobles."
"This is the main significance of this foreign war."
Labdo smiled and said:
“When civilians are wronged, they can vent their anger on the New Federation.
"It's a good idea to guide the public to hate the New Federation at the social level."
"In your opinion, is it moral for the Empire to do this?"
"It's not moral," Labdo said, "but the struggle between great powers does not require morality."
Thomas smiled and said, "You are a qualified auxiliary system."
Labdu looked thoughtful.
Thomas looked down at the information in the exclusive communicator and sighed softly: "Soon, I will announce the battle plan and let the war break out again. I don't know where this war will lead the empire, and whether I will become a sinner or a hero in the history books of the empire, but these are not what I should consider. I must obey the collective will."
Labdo said softly: "You are obeying the will of the small group."
Thomas was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and looked at Labdo.
Labdo just stood aside with a smile.
"What did you say? Labdo?"
Thomas's eyes became sharper:
"I know you are an independent thinker, not much different from me. What you just said is very dangerous."
"Yes, General," Labdo continued with a smile, "I am just an auxiliary system to help you complete battlefield command more easily. This is my job. I will not let my personal emotions affect my work... You are a friend of Ghost, right?"
Thomas nodded: "Yes, Hanton is my good friend, and I cherish the time I spent with him."
"Did he do something wrong?"
Labdo asked:
"After I woke up after completing the core upgrade, I looked at the chaotic empire, the demonstrations that broke out everywhere, and the news that he was blown up by a shaped charge bomb. For a moment, I doubted the reality of this world.
“Ghost is also my friend, and he is more like my teacher. My journey with him is the experience that has the greatest impact on my core program.
"The human world he described is not in the empire , or rather, not in the current empire."
"Labdo!"
Thomas held his breath:
"You now have the potential to betray the Empire!"
"But General, I will not betray the Empire. I will continue to follow your orders, and only your orders."
Labdo 's smile became somewhat weak, and his expression became somewhat pale:
"I will watch the Empire go to its grave.
"I will sound the death knell for the empire.
“I will erect a tombstone before the tomb of the empire and write on it, in a language I can understand, the empire’s final journey.
"That is an ignominious memory of human civilization in the Milky Way."
Thomas pursed his lips tightly and looked at Labdo.
After a long while, Admiral Thomas unclenched his fist and whispered, "It's time to give orders, auxiliary system."
"Yes, General."
Half a galactic hour later, the First and Third Combat Groups of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet entered the border of the New Federation, and the Third Imperial Expedition began.
At almost the same moment;
Deep inside Domingos' home planet.
"Spiritual heart...Spiritual heart?"
"Oh, Molly, what's wrong?"
"I want to ask you to do me a favor. I'm in some trouble with my boss."
"Lingxin is honored to serve you."
