How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 419: Dropping the Pie (Part 2)

Coming out of the governor's mansion, the collectors established interplanetary communication with Huogu through the mothership creature in the anchoring area of ​​the Aegean orbital space elevator.

"Will, as you surmise, the governor of the empire agreed to those two agreements."

"You've done a good job. Remember that after you leave the Governor's Mansion, don't go directly back to the hotel where you live. Instead, go to the shopping mall for a few laps and buy some animation peripherals." Huo Gu said.

"clear."

According to Huogu's instructions, the collector walked to the street sign, watched the path to the mall for a while, and then chose a shorter path to the mall.

On the way, the collector still maintains interplanetary radio communication with Huogu, because it still has doubts in its heart and wants to get answers.

"I don't quite understand. Can this really make the Serenes on this planet lean towards us? Anyway, they are all Serenes, and they are not the same species as us. If we simply give them resources, I don't think they'll turn their backs on the Empire for our side."

"You think this way because you can't understand the concept of 'selfishness'. This instinct engraved in genes dominates the behavior patterns and thoughts of Serene people." Huo Gudao.

"It is true that the governor of the colonial star is appointed by the empire, which ensures the empire's right to rule the colonial star to a certain extent, but the real leader of the colonial star is not the governor."

The collector froze for a moment. It recalled the social structure of the Serene people in its memory. The governor was indeed the most powerful person on the colonial planet. Its memory was correct, but why did its will say otherwise?

"Not the governor? Who would that be?"

"It's Serenes, tens of thousands of ordinary Serenes. In fact, the empire's home planet is similar. It's just that the empire has been operating for thousands of years, and it already has a very strong mind for ordinary Serenes on its own home planet. Guidance ability, so basically it can be understood in a disguised form that the leader is the empire."

"But ordinary Serin people are also harboring suspicions towards us."

The collectors didn't think these Serenes would be willing to trust them. Having been in contact with the Serenes for such a long time, it knew this very well. Compared with the same race with differences, it was more wary of alien races that were not even of the same race.

"It doesn't matter. The Serin people on the colonial planet don't have a strong sense of belonging to their home planet. The distance will weaken the inner cohesion of their race. We just need to let them realize that we treat them very well, and the empire treats them well." It's very bad, and it will naturally lean to our side." Huo Gu said.

"Will the empire cooperate with us?"

The collectors walking on the streets of the shopping mall couldn't help being surprised. The empire is not a fool, how could it be possible to cooperate with their plan?

"Of course they will. They don't want their colonial star to develop so well before the problem is solved. They will definitely find a way to transfer the resources we gave to the colony. From the perspective of the colonial star, the empire is Treat them maliciously, and squander the materials we helped build." Hogu replied.

"I can't understand. Why don't the empire directly explain to its own people? Why not?"

From the perspective of collectors, this kind of thing is simply unimaginable and incomprehensible. What difficulties and problems they encounter, they all communicate with each other and let the whole group face difficulties, and everyone works together to solve them. .

If they were Serenes, after they knew that there was a life field on the planet, they would have to evacuate from the planet collectively, then bombard the entire planet to wipe out the ecological circle, and then spend resources to rebuild it into a livable and livable planet.

They are all fine, why not the Serenes?

Hogu answered its questions.

"Because of interests, well, in the final analysis, it is still selfish. Colonial planets are closely related to the interests of the people. No one will take the initiative to believe in things that harm their own interests. Unless there is sufficient evidence to prove this, it is only to find life fields in the ecosystem. It does not mean that there is enough threat, and the empire is aware of this, so it will adopt a strategy of slowing down the development of the colonial star."

"But what about after that? Leading the people of the colonial planet to be dissatisfied with the empire, what will happen next?"

The collector wants to know the group's follow-up plan. It knows that this should only be a small part of a big plan, and it is curious about what the Serene people will develop after this.

"When dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain extent, it will become hostility, the colonial star will become independent from the empire, and the empire will be weakened in disguise, and we can benefit from it."

"What benefit?" The collector was puzzled.

"Various interests, such as technology, resources, some kind of critical intelligence, etc."

"Of course, these are all secondary. The most important point is that because of the rebellion, the empire will not have the idea of ​​colonizing other star systems. The independence of the colony star will make the empire fearful. Even such a close planet cannot maintain the empire. The unity of the world, colonizing other star systems will inevitably lead to a split situation, and the empire will not want to see such a situation."

"At that time, as long as we don't force the empire, they will not take the initiative to colonize other star systems, and the resources outside will belong to us."

Hogu didn't shy away from explaining this to the collectors. Instead, he was very happy that the collectors would ask him about this. If the collectors could learn this, it would be a great improvement for them.

"We won't be as muddy as they are. This is our advantage and we want to expand as much as possible... Oh, yes, by the way, let's go to the museum. It would be even better if we can buy some paleontological fossils collected by the Serenes. "

In the process of explaining, Huo Gu, who suddenly remembered something, reminded the collectors like this.

"OK."

On the other side, the governor who signed the agreement in the governor's mansion was communicating with his subordinates with a serious face.

"Is that so?"

"Are you sure you read it right?"

"Well, I see."

Holding the communicator in hand, the governor listened carefully to the tracking report of his subordinates. From the moment the collector left the governor's mansion, it was followed by people secretly arranged by the governor.

After learning that the collectors went to the mall to buy a large amount of animation peripherals and related supplies, the governor hung up the communication.

"What are those amoeba creatures thinking?"

The governor of the empire sighed deeply, and put down the communicator in his hand.

Amoebas obviously harmed their own interests by doing so, but why did they do this? Even for those cultural products, this is clearly overpriced.

The governor got up from his office chair, and after walking back and forth in the room for a long time, he stopped in front of the French windows.

He looked at the colony under construction outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, high-rise buildings were being built, and various construction machinery was operating day and night. His eyes gradually moved up to the blue sky, and he couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Is it true that there will be pies in the sky?"
