Chapter 551 Who are we? Who are we?
Just as Klein was about to scold, he saw Vimala shaking her head slightly. Then, sensing the silence in the conference room, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
This guy doesn't just represent himself, he also speaks for the thoughts of others.
This group of people didn't want to fight, or rather, they didn't want to fight for the alien camp or for Li Yu.
They saw the whole thing very clearly. Li Yu was doing something secretly and offended the Abyss Research Institute and the black network.
But those people couldn't find the camp in the other dimension, so they could only vent their anger on Guixing, which was an unprovoked disaster.
And now Klein is going to send troops to fight back, which completely touches their resistance.
The alien camp hasn't even shown up, but they are still sending troops and fighting hard. How can this be justified?
If we look at it this way, wouldn't they just be workers without any benefits to gain?
Klein's prestige is already quite high, and under normal circumstances, basically no one would resist her.
But the current situation is not normal. She is the leader of the Guixing interest group and can issue orders by force.
But there is no guarantee that her orders can be firmly implemented.
After all, soldiers in service have families, friends, and superiors...
If they knew that they were essentially fighting for an organization rather than for their own civilization, they would inevitably develop strong anti-war sentiments.
In other words, Klein cannot go against the entire interest group. It is not a question of whether he wants to or not, but that he simply cannot do it.
Aysel closed his eyes to rest, Connor had no expression on his face, Horus frowned slightly, Vimala said nothing... Several core executives had different expressions...
Klein was somewhat angry and helpless. She took a deep breath and said coldly, "In that case, all medium-sized combat fleets will be assigned to temporary patrols to maintain domestic security."
Many senior executives immediately showed expressions of relief and praised Klein for his wisdom. However, Klein was too lazy to say more to them and left the conference center with an indifferent look.
But Vimala stopped her after the meeting.
"You can become the surface master of Guixing by force. If you want to become the real master of Guixing, you still have a long way to go." Vimala faced Klein. The two women with very similar looks had indifferent expressions.
“Are you teaching me how to be a ruler?” Klein asked unkindly.
"You are too influenced by your emotions and don't consider the issue from Guixing's perspective. This is the real reason why ." Vimala said coldly.
“Heh, without Li Yu’s support, the one you’re talking to now isn’t the Queen of Guixing.”
"You think too simply. Why would the alien camp support you? Because you have no one behind you and are easy to control!" Vimala scolded:
"How useful can Li Yu be in this?!"
"Do you know what a trade-off is? Your value lies in Guixing. Without Guixing, you are nothing. That is why you must make Guixing strong and independent!"
"I must not allow myself to become a puppet!"
"I didn't see the puppet you mentioned. I only saw Li Yu trying his best to help me control the government, quell the rebellion, and save Teacher Horus." Klein's eyes were cold.
"And he just asked for a few insignificant resources."
Vimala's tone paused. It was indeed true. Since Klein took control of the government, the alien camp had not made any excessive demands.
"This shows that they have a big appetite..." Vimala managed to spit out a sentence.
“Mother…” Klein’s eyes were cold, without any extra emotion: “I am the queen of Guixing, and you are not.”
Vimala looked at the direction where Klein was walking away, her chest heaving.
Although Klein became the queen, the script was completely different from what she had imagined.
…
"Don't feel guilty, it's just a small matter, I already know how to deal with it."
In the room, Li Yu comforted him gently. At this moment, Clay did not have the toughness and indifference he had when talking to Vimala. He only felt guilty.
"What Vimala said is very true. I am only the superficial master of Guixing. But next, I will become the real master!"
Klein's tone was firm and her eyes were sharp. Maybe she had oversimplified some things, but this incident also made her realize it.
They appear obedient on the surface only because their interests were previously consistent. As soon as there is a slight difference in interests, their true colors are revealed.
She wants to become the true master of Guixing, just like using one's own arm to strike wherever she points!
"Will this little girl develop into a tyrant?"
Li Yu muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly brightened again, if that's the case, maybe the [Outline of Tarkinism] can be pushed to 100%.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for citizen approval to reach such a high level, and even over 70% is difficult.
Unless in special circumstances, such as citizens controlled by faith and fear, they will fully submit to their rulers.
However, Li Yu doesn’t care, because he is the ultimate beneficiary anyway.
After comforting Klein for a while, Codry sent a message that their people had been assembled and were ready to take action.
As usual, he asked the hunter to go to the meeting point and open the door first, while he himself had to deal with another matter.
After seeing Klein off, he turned on his smart terminal and casually displayed a large number of holographic screens, on which appeared various symbols.
These were the golden symbols he had seen before and that Tu Ying had seen.
Based on Xiao Nao Nao's intelligent processing, a total of 536 non-repeating symbols were extracted.
These symbols are not the common characters of Titan civilization. Li Yu has compared them and found nothing.
Payton doesn't know him either, and other organizations probably don't have detailed intelligence either.
It had been a long time since he had seen the golden symbol before his eyes.
He put this matter aside temporarily. If it weren't for Tu Ying, he would probably have found it difficult to remember.
“It’s not like I can’t find someone to ask…” He flipped his palm, and a black business card emerged, with the two universal characters “Loren” glowing faintly.
Loren, one of the seven noble rulers of the Star Empire, could not possibly not recognize these symbols.
However, trading with the other party is obviously not an easy task.
He still has two big bargaining chips, the commander and deputy commander of the Golden Lion Legion, and he is a little reluctant to use them here.
However, leaving aside the distant symbols, the recent ones might involve the fourteenth Titan Temple, which forced him to consider it again.
And it's useless to keep those two people in my hands.
After thinking it through, Li Yu picked up the business card and casually passed it over the scanner. The holographic screen fluctuated slightly, and then directly dialed an unknown link.
The beeping waiting sound sounded for a long time, and the automatic hang-up program seemed to have failed, and the interface remained.
After about three minutes, the screen lit up and Loren's big face appeared on the screen.
"I thought you would never dial this link." Loren sat on the chair, looking down at Li Yu. The background was dark and he could not see anything.
"Can you please adjust the display screen upwards first? I'm feeling uncomfortable when you talk like this..." Li Yu looked at him.
Loren was silent for a moment, the picture slowly moved up, and his eyes began to level out.
"You want to release my people?" he inquired.
"I want to ask something." Li Yu did not hesitate to start demonstrating on the spot. He picked out a rune that he had seen before and showed it to Loren, saying, "Have you seen this kind of symbol?"
Loren took a quick look and was not too surprised. Instead, he showed an expression of expectedness: "You really have come into contact with..."
Li Yu was speechless and didn't want to waste time. He said directly: "Give me the decoding program and I will return you to you."
Loren narrowed his eyes and asked, "You didn't find out?"
"Our research direction is not on Titan civilization. Such a powerful Titan civilization has been destroyed. What's the point of following their old path?" Li Yu said nonsense.
No matter how powerful an organization is, it will have areas where it is not good at. When faced with this level of confidential information, it is not shameful to say that you don't understand.
"It's you guys..." Loren's eyes widened, the holographic screen became blurry, and the signal seemed to be interfered with.
Li Yu was slightly surprised.
Hmm? What do you mean it's us?
Who are we? Who are we?
Loren never thought that his speculation might be true.
He looked at the slightly confused Li Yu with deep eyes, and he seemed to have no idea about the origin of the organization behind him.
This is normal. All traces of the past have been erased by the Star Empire, and almost no one knows the existence of that force.
Li Yu suddenly came to his senses. Could this old guy have made up something in his mind?
It’s you guys... These few words contain a lot of information.
"If you want the decoding program, you can..." Loren seemed to have forgotten what he just said, and said, "Exchange it for the Titan artifact."
"Are you sure you're awake?" Li Yu was so angry that he laughed: "A few broken symbols, you want to exchange for Titan artifacts?"
"You should know the origin of these symbols. They are of extraordinary value..."
"That's not a reason for you to ask for so much." Li Yu interrupted Loren:
"We just don't want to waste time on these meaningless things. For you, just go through that broken mirror once."
"It's worth it to exchange two men."
Loren's face changed slightly. Broken mirror? He was talking about the omniscient mirror?
How did they know?
This is top secret information, known only to the seven noble rulers and the Emperor.
"Yes, I know. I also know that you used your business card to test me last time, and I also know that you failed." Li Yu looked at Loren's expression and continued.
Loren's eyes changed several times. Do you have the omniscient mirror or do I have the omniscient mirror?
How come you know everything, but I know nothing and have to guess?
Loren didn't want to lose the initiative in front of the other party, so he said:
"When did this symbol appear before your eyes?"
Um!?
Li Yu was slightly surprised that the other party actually knew it. It seemed that this kind of symbol was not the first time it appeared.
"You walked out of our laboratory. We have backups of all the data on your body." Loren said in a deep tone, which was considered a counterattack.
Li Yu curled his lips and said tentatively: "We know this is the Titan inheritance, so don't play dumb. We just don't know the meaning of the symbol."
"It seems that you have learned your lesson. It is obviously not advisable to blindly reject the Titan civilization."
Loren seemed to have thought of something and continued, "However, unfortunately, the tenth Titan Temple has already been opened, and the golden symbol in front of you no longer has any effect."
Li Yu's heart was slightly moved. The description of [Titan Heritage] stated that this was a kind of qualification. Could it be the qualification to open the Titan Temple?
Obviously, the Titan characteristics of Li Yu come from the tenth Titan Temple.
Perhaps it was what was obtained from the Tenth Titan Temple that allowed the Loren family to start this experiment.
However, the other party does not know of Tu Ying's existence. This little troll may be able to open the fourteenth Titan Temple.
This is Li Yu's currently unknown trump card. At the same time, only by making Loren believe that even if Li Yu knew the meaning of the symbols, it would not have much impact, would it be possible to obtain something like a decoding program.
"Don't talk too much. Are you going to change it or not? I don't believe that you are the only one in the entire galaxy that can translate this symbol." Li Yu retreated to advance and issued an ultimatum:
"Other forces and civilizations must have relevant information to some extent, but you have more complete information."
"If you don't agree, the deal will end."
After hearing this, Loren thought carefully for a moment. This kind of text translation has value if you say it has value, and has no value if you say it has no value either.
It was really good for him to be able to get his subordinates back.
The two men reached a deal and agreed that when the Star Empire ambassador took the prisoners away, he would also send the decoding program over.
After hanging up the phone, Loren stared at the dark screen, thinking for a long time before getting up and leaving.
He rejects Titan civilization and believes that one should step out of the framework of Titan civilization, but at the same time he is very powerful.
This could only remind him of a certain force that existed at the beginning of the interstellar age.
That force and the Star Empire represent two completely different philosophies.
The Star Empire sought to acquire the legacy of the Titan civilization, while the other side hoped to forge its own path of civilization.
In the early stage, with the help of the legacy of Titan civilization, Xingyao gained the upper hand, and gained the upper hand in several wars, completely defeating the opponent.
And for some reason, all traces of the other's existence were erased.
…
A few days later, the Imperial ambassador arrived, ready to take away the prisoners for the trade, and the decoding program was also sent over.
According to basic information, this symbol is actually the advanced language of Titan civilization.
Each symbol contains a lot of information, and decoding is not an easy task.
Li Yu inserted the parameter model and let it run on its own.
At the same time, the hunters have also reunited with the people from the Ark of Salvation through the Star Gate Station.
With the help of Yuxu Palace, Li Yu crossed the long interstellar distance in the blink of an eye and arrived at the rendezvous point.
