Chapter 549 Loss of Resonance
Yang Ming sat by the window sill of the dormitory building, looking at the scenery outside the window, recalling the "Levi's Past" that he had read in one breath.
By the forty-fourth act, Yang Ming had already read the first forty percent of the story.
This is equivalent to the fact that Yang Ming had already learned about the main storyline through "The Emperor's Biography", which is the history of Levi's rise to power. The information given to them by Li is impossible to be written down in the imperial history books.
"Is it Li's intention that I should kill Levi?"
Yang Ming had reasons to think so.
The memory of reason depicts the growth history of a tyrant.
Levi himself is a nobleman. He has a high starting point and his ideological foundation is more aristocratic.
When using the mechanical thinking goddess Reason to accumulate early capital, Levi's approach became more radical and cruel. In order to develop, the pirate group he controlled was more pirate-like than pirates. In order to integrate more with the ancient Inca aristocracy, Levi acted more aristocratic than the aristocrats. During this period, various situations occurred that shattered Yang Ming's perception of Levi.
This is not some great emperor;
This is just a young careerist whose ambitions are growing and who is gradually losing all humility.
The story told in the previous forty-four scenes is that Levi became the great prince of ancient Inca. This kind of development and growth is not important.
Yang Ming carefully realized that the logic behind editing these images should be to show the changes in Levi's mentality.
Yes, at the beginning, Levi was a young man who was plotted against by his family members and betrayed by his mother. Fortunately, he inherited the artificial intelligence Twilight and then began his own counterattack.
And when Levi stood in the bridge, looking in the direction of Ancient Inca and watching the military parade outside the porthole, he already had the so-called imperial demeanor.
Expanded ambition;
the disappearance of humility and respect;
And, increasingly scarce mercy and more casual cruelty.
This is Levi's path to becoming an emperor.
To be honest, Yang Ming didn't like this kind of person, and Li's purpose seemed to be to reveal Levi's dark side to him, thereby increasing Yang Ming's dislike for Levi.
Yang Ming glanced at the subsequent content and murmured, "It's better to load it all in one go."
However, the 45th scene still lights up at the original speed.
Yang Ming shook his head and said directly: "See you in six days."
He chose direct hosting.
This was the best way Yang Ming could think of to resist his own desire to explore.
Light and shadows are flowing before my eyes.
"Boss, the speed of time in the City of Light is now completely consistent with that in the outside world."
Before Yang Ming adjusted to the light and shadow in Lu's thinking space, Lu's report had already entered his ears.
When his vision returned to normal, he saw the slightly empty mind space, and Molly and 026 busy in the distance.
"Completely consistent?" Yang Ming asked subconsciously.
"Yes," Lu hummed a few times, "It has not continued to slow down. The computing resources that Levi and Li have now are a bit scary."
"This is the accumulation of tens of thousands of years of the empire," Yang Ming said with a smile, "and I bet that in terms of strength, they have even more reserves."
Lu's little face was full of depression.
Yang Ming subconsciously took a look at Xia Lu's professional attire, and the revealing clothes of those ancient Inca beauties emerged in his mind. He slapped his thigh and stood up.
I feel a little irritated.
"Help me to take care of it for six days while I go to the offline activities! Is my dear Mimili on the Dongfeng?"
"I'm here, boss."
Lu narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly:
"But Miss Mimily is having dinner with her father, and they have some family matters to discuss."
"It's okay, I can go take a shower," Yang Ming shook his waist calmly, and then frowned slightly, "Let's talk about serious things... I now believe that Li wants to kill Levi, but for us, the situation in the City of Light is too confusing, and our initiative is too low."
Lu thought about it carefully: "Do you want to give them something in reality?"
“No matter how much the City of Light changes, it must always be based on reality.”
Yang Ming smiled and said:
"I kept thinking about this question while watching Levi's past, and Levi gave me a lot of inspiration.
"Now you, me, Levi, and Li form the core of the two camps. Under the watchful eyes of the Faya people, there will be a war between the two sides, and we must do whatever it takes.
"One of me and Levi has to lose.
“My goals are always clear.
"I want to dismember the Sherman Empire, eliminate the threat of Levi and the giant mecha of the Imperial Star to Luofeng, and make the Luofeng Alliance a shelter for my home planet. Everything must serve this goal.
"So, it's not that Reason doesn't allow us to kill Levi, but Levi must die. This is in my interest."
“Are we going to do anything in reality?”
"Yes, reality is our main battlefield."
Yang Ming turned his head and looked at the starry sky outside the porthole.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but this starry sky is somewhat similar to the starry sky that Levi saw during the military parade.
"Let's test it first and spread the news in the imperial media that White Ghost is about to return," Yang Ming said, "Then secretly deliver intelligence to the New Federation CIA , saying that White Ghost is Yang Ming and the Luofeng Alliance is the White Ghost's base camp."
Lu thought for a moment and nodded quickly.
Yang Ming looked down at his virtual thinking body.
“So weak.”
…
Six days passed in a flash.
Yang Ming spent a relatively comfortable time on the Dongfeng. He and Mimili were in a honeymoon state every day, and Mimili always gave Yang Ming some unexpected new tricks, making Boss Yang exclaim that the interstellar era was really great.
The two pieces of news he asked Lu to release soon received completely different reactions.
Imperial opinion remained unmoved.
Under the dual suppression of Li and Levi, the empire's cyber world was like a stagnant pool of water. The entire unified network completely kept the navy and intelligence departments of Law and other political systems out .
The news that the White Ghost was Yang Ming, the military commander of the Fallen Wind Alliance, caused a great uproar in the Milky Way, but the vast majority of the people in the Empire were unaware of it;
The news of White Ghost's imminent return was transmitted with difficulty on the unpopular social networking platforms on the planet's surface.
Yang Ming and Lu's ever-successful network manipulation is no longer effective.
This creates a vicious cycle.
They have lost their network advantage, and plans such as Challenger are progressing slowly, further losing the initiative and being unable to exert effective pressure on Levi and Li in reality, thus further losing their advantage.
Dark chess pieces like Labdo and Revell have no way to play a role without network advantages.
Yang Ming also specifically asked what Revill was doing on the planet Yilando.
Lu replied, "He began to enjoy the honey trap we arranged."
Boss Yang could only give Revell a remote middle finger.
In other words, they now actually only have one way to go.
Kill Levi in the City of Light;
Or destroy the giant mecha of Emperor Star in the real world.
Only in this way can they proceed normally with their plan to dismember the Sherman Empire.
As a good young man on Earth, Yang Ming naturally dreams sometimes. For example, his most optimistic estimate of the current situation is... the Faya people asked him to kill Levi, and Li also wanted to use him to get rid of Levi and gain freedom. After he solved Levi without any difficulty, Li gave Levi's fleet and the Imperial Star to him and Lu.
This made Yang Ming almost wake up laughing in his dream.
But it seems that it can only be realized in dreams.
During these six days, in addition to relaxing and having fun, Yang Ming held meetings with his small team.
Being in a passive position was obviously not in line with Yang Ming's character. After much hesitation, he finally made a bold decision.
The Dongfeng carried him and Posa and invaded the airspace near the Emperor Star.
If all else fails, he can only go to the Imperial Star to kill people and burn people, leaving some psychological trauma.
Boss Yang was also very depressed.
As candidates for the same Omnic Twilight exam, when Levi rose to power, the environment and the enemies were like a powerful political system handing over its resources to him.
Now he has to destroy this empire that has existed for 60,000 years and is protected by two super-abnormal mechanical thinking bodies.
If he didn't have the ancient god life form as his trump card, he would have lost everything now!
Back in the City of Light again, Yang Ming took over his own character 'Daru'.
He glanced at the forty-nine loaded screens and immediately smiled cordially.
Will there be a process of upgrading dimensions here?
Yang Ming clicked on the 45th scene with excitement.
Second Test.
Levi, who became the governor of the conquered area and had a large army under his command, continued to accumulate strength for a period of time and began his second Twilight test.
What interested Yang Ming the most was the communication between Levi and Li and the three teachers of Omnic Twilight respectively.
The screen was still pitch black, and Yang Ming could only identify people by their voices.
"Oh, young human, are you satisfied with your victory now?"
"Of course," Levi said, "I think I have fulfilled my promise to my people within my ability. The next step is to create a new civilization so that the civilization of the Omnic Twilight can shine with new light in the Milky Way."
Yang Ming smiled secretly in his heart.
Levi's back isn't that strong.
The three teachers said in a deep voice:
"But young human, we see something not so good in you."
"You seem to have forgotten what you thought when you first came here. You have experienced some things, and these things have changed many of your views."
"Levi, you have done a lot of negative things to your own kind that could have been avoided."
"Oh, no no, I think we have different opinions."
Levi argued:
“I feel that every step I have taken to get to this point has been carefully calculated. Facing a corrupt, loose, old political system, I must be strong enough to convince others, and I must show all kinds of means to fight against them.
“My enemies are unscrupulous.
"In this life-or-death political struggle, the competition is about who has the lower bottom line and who has the weaker sense of moral restraint. This is the law of the jungle in the political jungle.
“But in my understanding, politics is divided into two parts, one is politics and the other is governance. The former is the struggle between people, and the latter is how to govern the political system after the struggle is won.
"I have no bottom line in political struggles. I am ruthless and will not show mercy to my opponents. Whenever I take action, I must be fully prepared. Once an enemy is killed by me, there is no chance for him to turn the tables.
“But when I win this struggle and establish a strong political system, I will enter the stage of governance. I swear on my self-esteem that I will bring benevolent governance to the people, I will do my best to protect my civilization, and I will let the individuals in this civilization enjoy the best welfare and the most abundant resources in the Milky Way.
"Three teachers, this is my plan and vision for the future."
"But what we see in your mind is mostly a pursuit of desire."
"Levi, when you resonated with the Omnic Twilight this time, the resonance value was already very weak."
"I think you should be able to vaguely understand when the resonance of the Omnic Twilight will disappear," the Ranger sighed, "Please don't use your mind to figure out this tomb. What is buried here is a level 7 multi-universe civilization."
“Levi, we are just reminding you that you don’t need to explain so much to us.”
“As you grow up, you get what you desire too easily, and your threshold for satisfaction gets higher and higher.”
"You started out by craving respect from others, but now you enjoy seeing those individual humans bow down at your feet."
“When civilization develops to a certain level, the differences in energy resources between individuals will be eliminated, and the differences in individual thoughts, art, understanding of things, self-cognition, imagination, logic, etc. will be magnified. At this time, there will be no politics in your eyes.”
“Politics is just a tool. The development of civilization ultimately depends on the awakening of thought and the advancement of science and technology.”
"Levi, we are very worried that we won't be able to communicate with you during the next test."
"No, absolutely not."
Levi smiled and said, "I will reflect on myself. Maybe the recent series of victories has made me a little inflated. Sorry, I will fully communicate with the manager when I go back."
Then, there is a dialogue between the three teachers and Li.
This conversation is simple.
The gravekeeper said: "Li, I'm sorry, the symbiote we chose for you is not an ideal candidate."
"I will try to interfere with his thoughts," Li said softly, "Please give him more chances."
"This is not something we can decide, Li," the examiner said, "The three of us are essentially just the procedures of this tomb. If this tomb no longer recognizes Levi, we will not be able to continue communicating with him."
"Now, we have a chance to bring you back...are you going to abandon him? This may be a difficult decision for you. I know you have considered him your only friend, but logically, you and he are different life forms."
"No, teacher. I am his companion thinking body."
Li said gently:
"I believe I can influence him."
"All right."
"Li, I hope we can meet again in the future, my child."
The story cuts to the next scene.
Yang Ming pressed the pause button, thought carefully for a while, and then sighed softly.
During the second test, the robot Twilight actually gave Levi a chance.
What happened next?
Yang Ming finished watching the next twenty scenes and did not have any new feelings. The contents of these twenty scenes were similar to the stories recorded in "The Emperor's Biography".
The difference is that "The Emperor's Biography" says that Levi seized the opportunity when the situation in the ancient Inca Empire was in chaos. He rose rapidly in just four and a half years, swallowed up 50% of the star fields and military forces of the ancient Inca Empire, and became a powerful warlord in this area.
And the pictures provided by Reason show that Levy created the opportunities himself.
Just as Yang Ming is now leading the collapse of the Sherman Empire;
Levi also led the collapse of the ancient Inca Empire.
The difference is that Levi had almost no resistance at the time. Relying on the existence of reason, he manipulated all the politicians, generals, and nobles in his hands and swept the ancient Inca Empire with great force.
The resistance Yang Ming encountered was enormous.
Levi was preparing to establish the Sherman Empire, but he had a premonition that after becoming the founding emperor of the new empire, he would most likely lose the possibility of resonating with the omnic Twilight, so he had an in-depth exchange with Li.
"Reason, dear."
Levi held onto the perfect virtual entity and asked gently:
“We are now only one step away, just one step away, and we can get a ticket to the fourth-level civilization, and the fourth-level civilization is invincible in the Milky Way.
“You know, we are already feeling the pressure from the Fayals. The Fayals are pressuring us through various methods, wanting us to become their agents and fully respect their ownership of the Milky Way.
"We can only fight against the Fayya people if we pass the third test. This matter is extremely important to us."
Li just sighed: "We have already established a big enough advantage now. You want to become the new emperor, and we have already done it. Levi, why are you still thirsting for too much?"
"It's not desire," Levi hugged Li and whispered, "We are already creating history, the history of human civilization. As our vision continues to rise, our goals should also continue to rise. We..."
"You have been consumed by your own desires."
“Human beings are the embodiment of desire.”
"I can't promise you anything," Li whispered, "I can only tell you that instant thinking is very important. You can make more preparations."
"Instantaneous thinking? In other words, what was I thinking when I touched that place?"
Levi looked suddenly enlightened, then lowered his head for a kiss, but Li gently pulled away.
The eyes of this advanced robot quickly lost their luster, and Li had already left.
Levi pushed the robot away with some disappointment. He shook his neck and began to think about what to do next.
A few days later, a small boat only tens of meters long, under the control of Levi and Li, arrived at the location of the Omnic Twilight.
Levi looked up and frowned deeply.
The black pyramid disappeared.
