empire star.

Emperor Wu City.

Li Zhengfan stood at the highest point of the imperial capital, but he couldn't see the end of the city at a glance.

This is a huge city with 50 million resident orangutans, but there are few high-rise buildings that are common in cities on Azure Planet.

Except for the imperial city where Emperor Wudi III lived, there was a 500-meter-high building called Tongtian Pagoda, and the other buildings were no more than 100 meters high.

According to the average height and building habits of human beings, thirty-three floors can be built in one hundred meters, but in the empire, a maximum of twenty-seven floors can be built in one hundred meters.

Those buildings that are nearly 100 meters high have at most 27 floors. It is said that this is because Emperor Wudi I was 27 years old when he rose to power.

It is worth mentioning that the revolution speed of the Empire Star in its galaxy is similar to that of the Azure Star, with an average of only 16 days more per year.

So the twenty-seven-year-old Imperial Star is actually equivalent to the twenty-seven-year-old Azure Star.

Because high-rise buildings are not allowed, the area of ​​Wudi City is extremely large. After all, it has a permanent population of 50 million.

However, there is almost no traffic jam in Wudi City. One reason is that there are very few private vehicles, and the other reason is that the carrying capacity of public transportation can meet normal needs.

The real core reason is that civilians are not allowed to walk freely between urban areas. There are civilians born in Emperor Wudi City who have never been to another urban area in their entire lives, let alone other cities.

This is simply unimaginable in Azure Star, but it is very normal in the Empire.

Because in a sense, Emperor Wu City is actually a giant-level military camp, and all residents living in this city can become soldiers of Emperor Wudi III with or without weapons.

All kinds of legal regulations that make life inconvenient for them are equivalent to the prohibitions in the army.

Some are like the farming and warfare system of a certain dynasty on Azure Star. The difference is that the 50 million orangutans in Wudi City do not need to farm, and there is no place for them to farm. Almost all of them are workers.

Almost all technological products in the empire, from household appliances to digital products to military products, all come from factories in Wudi City.

This makes the city look cold.

And those workers, although they have been producing all kinds of technological products, they don't know why. The production environment of the assembly line does not require them to understand the scientific principles.

All design and development work is done by the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Li Zhengfan looked in the direction of the Royal Academy of Sciences, which was very close to the Imperial City, and there were no tall buildings there either.

"Does it look good?"

Emperor Wu III in imperial uniform appeared in front of Li Zhengfan, and also looked at the city completely controlled by him.

"It's not pretty."

Since the last communication with Li Yuanba and Ji Xinghe, his condition has improved a lot, mainly in terms of spiritual will.

He had worried a long time ago that the empire would use his identity to do something, but Li Yuanba and Ji Xinghe did not live up to his expectations.

when he died.

So he is very happy.

"It's really not very good-looking, because there is no breath of life."

Emperor Wu III was also in a good mood, it laughed, and the coercion in its voice was reduced a lot.

"I have seen other cities with a lot of life, and the common people will have a lot of smiles on their faces, unlike in this city, few common people dare to laugh outside, and most of them will only watch at home. Laughing on TV, surfing the Internet, playing games."

"Isn't this what you expected?" Li Zhengfan looked at the cold city and said unceremoniously: "If you don't like it, you can destroy it, then I will think it looks good."

Emperor Wudi III was not angry, it was in a really good mood.

"I won't destroy it, I will leave it to Dongguo Cilian's group of rebels, and then watch it be destroyed. Not only it, but also this planet."

Contrary to the Federation's speculation at this time, Dongguo Cilian did not die, the rebel army was not wiped out, and the civil strife in the empire was even more serious.

Not long after Dongguo Cilian successfully returned to the Empire Star with the nuclear weapons given to it by the Federation, one of the most powerful Quartet Kings in the Empire joined the camp of the rebel army and became one of the leaders.

And now, nearly three months later, there is news that another Sifang King is preparing to join the rebel camp.

Because, Dongguo Cilian really had a nuclear weapon, and had successfully detonated a small Ivan-level hydrogen bomb, destroying one of the twelve cities with the strongest control by Emperor Wudi III except for Emperor Wudi City.

"Dong Guo Cilian doesn't have many nuclear weapons."

Li Zhengfan frowned and said: "You have regained control of the transition base in Battle Scar Canyon, and it can't get more from the Federation. Moreover, you were able to intercept that nuclear weapon last time. So, they can't destroy this A planet, they are reluctant to destroy it."

This is the reason for the changes in the alien war.

Emperor Wudi III easily cut off the most powerful support of the Imperial Rebel Army. From this point of view, it is actually capable of preventing Dongguo Cilian from returning with nuclear weapons.

"If Dongguo Cilian is not allowed to detonate that nuclear weapon, how can the rebels believe that Dongguo Cilian has a nuclear weapon? If the rebels don't believe it, how dare they resist me?"

Emperor Wudi III said softly: "You don't have to talk to me anymore, I can tell you directly that after the alien advanced civilization comes, it will definitely destroy all the existing intelligent life on this planet, as well as all the buildings and everything. Everything will cease to exist, and this planet will return to its most primitive but more powerful state."

Li Zhengfan guessed a lot of information from this sentence. He asked: "That alien civilization needs this planet as their living planet? Moreover, the current environment of this planet is not suitable for them, so , will they carry out a fatal transformation on this planet for you?"

Emperor Wudi III was silent.

Li Zhengfan was not worried, he had already determined a long time ago that Emperor Wudi III was actually lonely.

It is also an intelligent life, and the orangutan is also a social animal like a human being. The secrets and pressures on Emperor Wudi III need at least one person to confide in.

But Aidakang, his own brother, can't do it, let alone other orangutans?

Therefore, Li Zhengfan, who is known as the greatest hero in the federation and who bears the blood of the Li family, became the object of its confidance.

Ordinary human beings, like Tu Yuan, Han Li, etc., are still completely out of its sight.

Just like Idacon, up to now it only admits that it has memorized the names of four human beings, and Tu Yuan is not worthy in its opinion.

Among these four names, three belonged to the Li family.

"Emperor Wu I called them creators, Emperor Wu II called them Protoss, and I called them ruin civilizations. Therefore, they are ruin civilizations."

Just a title gave Li Zhengfan a lot of speculation. Combining that Ji Xinghe obtained the power of Qi from the baptism of nuclear explosions, and Emperor Wu I obtained the power of Qi from the spaceship of the ruined civilization, he is almost certain that there is a A few guesses are facts.

The premise is that Emperor Wudi III did not lie to him.

Judging from the fact that Emperor Wu III asked Dongguo Cilian to come back to form a rebel army, in the future, Emperor Wu III may not have sent him back to Alien, so that he might bring some wrong information to the Federation.

He didn't want to pass on misinformation, but what if everything he knew was wrong?

"The ruined civilization is a civilization that has experienced a nuclear war. Their planet is no longer suitable for their survival, but they did not have the ability to leave that planet at that time.

Therefore, among the ruins, they have the strength of Qi due to nuclear radiation. And this power not only makes them stronger, but also gives them a higher level of intelligence.

After that, they built spaceships, left that planet and started looking for new habitable planets. In this process, they either obtained or developed the transition technology.

The spaceship that Emperor Wudi I picked up was just a scientific research spaceship or a reconnaissance spaceship.

Is there any more? "

After Li Zhengfan finished speaking, he asked directly.

Emperor Wudi III didn't answer, but asked instead: "Why do you think it took fifty years for them to come again with the jump technology and know the precise coordinates of this planet?"

"Forty-eight years and three months."

Li Zhengfan corrected a sentence, and then replied: "Because the intelligent life on that spaceship died, it was too late to use the leap communication to tell the ruined civilization the coordinates of this planet. Normal communication signals need 350 years , can be passed to the ruined civilization. In other words, the distance between them and your planet is about 350 light-years.

Under this distance, even if your planet is within their observation range, they cannot see the changes of this planet. What they can see now is what the planet looked like 350 years ago. "

Emperor Wudi III smiled, was noncommittal, and directly changed the subject.

"The information brought back by Dongguo Cilian shows that no one in the Federation can control the power of Qi except Ji Xinghe, at least until it comes back. And Ji Xinghe is no longer in Alien Star, he returned to Azure Star."

Li Zhengfan sneered twice.

"Dongguo Cilian told you, or did Dongguo Cilian tell a certain leader of the rebel army, and that leader told you? Or, did the humans who cooperated with Idacon tell you?"

"It doesn't matter." Emperor Wudi III said: "The important thing is, do you think I should use Ji Xinghe's independent regiment to force him to return to Alien Star, or tell the Federation that he really has mastered the power of Qi?"

"You said that Ji Xinghe does not have the blood of God, so it is impossible for him to grasp the power of the gift."

"You already guessed the answer before, and told Aida Kang the answer, now, have you forgotten?"

"So, Ji Xinghe can really master the power of gifts?"

"I made a decision."

Emperor Wudi III suddenly said: "I decided to use his independent regiment to force him to go to a different star, and then on the day he set off from the blue star, tell the federation that he has really mastered the power of qi. How about it, isn't it interesting? "

Li Zhengfan sighed suddenly.

He looked at Emperor Wu III with pity, and said mockingly.

"You're scared."

With a bang, Li Zhengfan's metal body flew upside down and smashed into a wall, and then precisely stuck on a window.

With his head facing outwards, he could clearly see the ant-like mech guards below. He would definitely fall to his death at a height of 500 meters.

Li Zhengfan tried it, and he really lost control over his body, and it became impossible to jump off.

He was seriously injured again and entered the near-death state he was used to, but he was very happy.

The air is like a gossamer, but he can continue to speak.

"You are afraid, not only because Ji Xinghe may obtain the power of the gift, but also because, if Ji Xinghe obtains the power of the gift by himself, he will definitely be stronger than you. So you are afraid, hahaha..."

Emperor Wudi III did not respond to Li Zhengfan, nor did he continue to vent his anger.

Standing at the highest point of the imperial city, sitting on the empire, and possessing the strongest individual force of the empire and the federation, it looks very lonely at this moment.

It silently recited a human name in its heart: Ji Xinghe.
