The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

All the formation legions converged to form an extremely large fleet, escorting all the spaceships of the Kunde tribe towards the lighthouse star.

The densely packed warships dragged the transition streamer, the formation was dense, and the tail flames set off each other, as if forming a moving sea of ​​light, setting off bright waves in the dark universe.

The warships of the empire are mainly distributed on the periphery, and within the encirclement, there are tens of millions of Kunde spaceships, carrying the entire population of the Kunde people on them.

All the shipboard weapons have been unloaded, the power of the energy core is limited to the lowest level to ensure the operation of the spacecraft, the thin shield will be broken, and all armed forces have been lost on the ship, and it has been completely taken over by the soldiers of the Empire—these Kunde spaceships Has been transformed into a prison ship.

The main ship of the Kunde tribe has been transformed the most thoroughly. The cabin has been transformed into a prison cell, and all kinds of facilities have been completely dismantled. The mechanical style of heavy industry has collapsed to a minimalist style, and basically only the load-bearing walls are left.

The command hall has been taken over by imperial soldiers, and two remote projections suddenly appeared in the hall, which were Han Xiao and Tarrokov.

"See Commander-in-Chief."

As soon as the two went online, the neat salutes of imperial soldiers sounded all around.

It was a coincidence for Han Xiao. The old tower just made a plan to inspect the captives today. It had already sent a notice, and the soldiers on the ship were waiting to greet them.

The high-ranking military officers of the empire who commanded the various regiments were also present, all with their adjutants, using remote projection to gather together.

"Everyone has worked hard." Tarrokov smiled and nodded with a friendly attitude.

This bunch of young elite officers are the rising stars of the imperial military, and they will be the successors of these veterans in the future. Tarrokov is quite pleased to see that the empire is full of talents.

Han Xiao glanced at the officers present, and couldn't help but twitched his playful eyebrows.

Oh, all big names!

A group of future famous generals and military bosses stood in front of them waiting for inspection. It felt like a group of people who were hung in the Imperial Merit Exhibition Hall walked down from the portraits on the wall.

Because he knew the future identities of this group of people, Han Xiao felt that the scene in front of him was quite memorable, and couldn't help but want to take a group photo.

"Your Excellency Black Star, you are here too."

Tenny was also among them, and he greeted him with a smile on his lips, apparently in a good mood.

"Meet you again." Han Xiao nodded in greeting. Seeing that all the officers looked over, he simply said loudly: "Congratulations to everyone for winning this war. It is an honor for the empire to have all of you outstanding military personnel."

Ranged PY attack, the effect is extraordinary!

Black Star's identity is here. Although he is an ally, in terms of status, he now surpasses this group of young elite generals who have not yet reached their peak.

No one doesn't like good words. Hearing the big boss's praise, everyone showed a smug smile on their faces.

"Where there is, the information provided by His Excellency Black Star is the cornerstone of victory. In terms of credit, you are the greatest."

"We are all doing hard work, and the contribution of His Excellency Black Star is the main reason why we easily won this war."

It's not rude to come and go, some people immediately started talking to each other, and of course there are also officers who are indifferent and taciturn but just nod their heads in agreement.

Han Xiao responded with a smile, suddenly paused slightly, and locked his eyes on the adjutant next to an imperial general, who was Gothe with a subtle smile on his face.

"Hey, you are..."

He squinted his eyes, looked at this person a little bit, and found that he had no impression.

Seeing this, Gothe smiled lightly, and said, "I have admired your name for a long time, Your Excellency Black Star."

"Get to know him, this is Gothe, one of the superpowers that the empire has cultivated. I heard that he survived the self-destruction of primitive psionic energy. He is very good." Tarrokov introduced Han Xiao with a smile.

"Hello, Gothe."

Hearing this, Han Xiao greeted casually, secretly entered the field of vision of the quantum network, opened the internal interface of the empire, logged in to his account, and inquired about the information registered by Gao De in the imperial military.

It is already a habit for him to check a person's details when they meet.

With his authority, it is no problem to query the basic information of some empire members.

In the next second, Gao De's information popped up on the screen in his brain. Han Xiao browsed through it, and saw that Gao De's innocent service history was recorded on it, which seemed to be no problem.

He swiped down, just as he was about to look at more detailed information, when a warning of insufficient permissions popped up on the interface.

"Can't see it? It seems that he is quite valued."

Han Xiao would not be too idle to crack the empire's network and cause dissatisfaction among the high-level. He turned off the interface and thought about it.

The old tower said that Gothe was on the list of superpowers to be cultivated? With the size of the empire, the key training goals are basically for Transcendent A Grade seeds or even Transcendent A Grade. There are two types of superpowers cultivated, one is special ability, and the other is outstanding potential. This guy is at most It is a natural disaster grade, and if it can survive the primitive psionic energy, then it is probably the former one, and I don’t know what ability it has... Han Xiao pondered secretly.

In his previous life, Great Technician Han's main camp was the Crimson Empire, and he was very familiar with the big figures in the empire. If Gao De is really a superpower trained by the empire, he should have an impression.

But he can be sure that he has never heard this name before, and he has no memory of Gothe in his mind at all. The Scarlet Empire in the previous life did not have such a number one person.

"Has the plot changed again..." Han Xiao murmured in his heart, "A newcomer popped up out of nowhere."

Although he was puzzled, he was not too surprised.

I have done so many things, it has already caused a butterfly effect, and it is not surprising that some people who were not well-known in the previous life suddenly appeared.

Among other things, Interpas, who is running the Germination Consortium, is a good leek that I dug out from the corner.

Staring at Han Xiao's handsome face, the corners of Gothe's mouth slightly raised:

"Your Excellency Black Star, we may become colleagues in the future."

"Isn't it now?" Han Xiao put away his thoughts and came back to his senses.

"Hehe, you understand what I mean." Gothe smiled indifferently.

"...If you have ambition, then I will wait." Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.

He meant that he felt that he would definitely be able to become a Transcendent A Grade? This guy is quite confident...

Secretly remembering Gothe, Han Xiao looked away.

After chatting with everyone for a few words, he finally said the omnipotent closing words of "I will invite you to dinner when I have a chance", and all the officers went offline one after another.

Han Xiao and Tarrokov were left, and they patrolled the entire spaceship under the leadership of the soldiers on board.

The Kunde civilians on the ship were detained in a centralized manner, while the high-level officials were all imprisoned separately. Han Xiao followed the old tower to inspect the civilian detention area first.

Cramped, crowded, like a refugee concentration camp.

Numerous Kunde civilians huddled together, with eyes full of emotions such as fear, anxiety, confusion, etc., and from time to time glanced at the imperial soldiers standing guard all around.

Before the war began, many civilians were actually reluctant to leave, without even seeing the enemy, and many believed that the so-called invaders were fictional.

But now, there is only panic in the hearts of the Kunde civilians, like prey waiting to be slaughtered without knowing when the butcher knife will fall, trembling with anxiety.

There is a huge gap in the hearts of every Kunde civilian who used to dominate the self-proclaimed high-level race in this star cluster and became a prisoner of a higher civilization.

After patrolling the civilians, the two came to the area where the high-level officials were detained separately, stood outside the interrogation room of the Kunde leader, and observed each other through the single-sided window.

Although he was reduced to a prisoner, the leader of the Kunde tribe sat upright, still maintaining his dignity, staying alone in the interrogation room, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"When you ask questions, I'll just go in and listen." Han Xiao glanced at the leader of the Kunde tribe, turned his head and said to the old tower.

The old tower presided over the interrogation, he just came to visit, and the leader of the Kunde tribe probably didn't know him.

Tarrokov nodded, expressing that he had no objection, and pouted at the soldiers beside him.

"Open the door."

...

In the interrogation room, the leader of the Kunde tribe sat on his seat, trying to sit up straight.

He is not calm on the surface, but he must pretend to be calm. In his eyes, he represents the last dignity of the Kunde tribe.

"brush--"

The door slid open, and the Kunde leader heard the noise, opened his eyes, and saw two figures walking in.

One is the enemy commander Tarrokov whom he has seen before, while the other is extremely unfamiliar. He is wearing a complicated and gorgeous black windbreaker with gold patterns. The way he wears this clothes looks like a big man, and he does not know what his origin is. .

"This is the second time we have met." Tarrokov quickly entered the state, with a straight face, and said lightly: "We have fulfilled our promise and did not carry out the massacre. Now you have to tell me everything you know. I, including your thinking and logic when making decisions, and the reasons for attacking us, will tell you all about the cause and effect. Remember, your answer will affect our attitude towards you. It is best not to lie, otherwise you will not regret it. it's me."

Virtual technology can steal the other party's information, but it is impossible to know the judgment process and thoughts in the other party's heart. This is the focus of today's interrogation.

The leader of the Kunde tribe knew that this would happen sooner or later, and he didn't dare to hide the intention, and at the same time, there was no meaning to hide it. With a heavy heart, he said the matter in detail.

Listening to the other party's narration, Tarrokov entered the content in the report from time to time. Han Xiao came over and took a look, and saw a few words such as "xenophobia", "indigenous arrogance", "revenge culture", "coexistence discomfort sex" vocabulary.

Not a good word... He blinked.

This interrogation report is likely to affect the empire's final treatment plan for the Kunde people, and these few words are undoubtedly dangerous.

After a while, the Kunde leader finally came to an end:

"...Your arrival has taken away our development space, so we would rather find a new undisturbed home than live with you. This will only make us experience long-term, passive competition, civilized Development prospects are limited."

Hearing this, Tarrokov nodded, not bothering to hide it, "You are right, we will never allow you to rise."

Few civilizations are saints. Scarlet Empire’s development of Glittering World, of course, did not come with the idea of ​​benefiting all living beings. It has no intention of letting the natives rise. The maximum kindness is just to leave some space and allow the other party to continue to survive. .

For most of the backward natives, it is not a bad thing. The three major civilizations use the interstellar society to assimilate them, which is equivalent to giving them advanced enlightenment education. For the Kunde people, who have a certain scale and have already begun interstellar pioneering civilization It is an out-and-out disaster.

The three major civilizations are not interested in cultivating more stinky brothers who covet their dominance, which will inevitably restrain the development of higher indigenous civilizations.

From the bottom of my heart, the Scarlet Empire actually doesn't hate the Kunde tribe's initiative to go to war. It happens to use force to conquer the opponent's civilization, which is justifiable.

"However..." Tarrokov changed the subject, "By now, you must have figured it out, the crashed spaceship you got was provided by some of our opponents, the purpose is to use you as gunmen, use You deal with us.

Their information contains real technology, which is used to enhance your force, but the technology is real, but the information about the empire is a bunch of lies. He didn't tell you what level of strength the Scarlet Empire has, deliberately Let you mistakenly think that you have the power to fight.

The fallen spaceship was a poisoned fruit. Under the sweetness of advanced technology, deadly toxins were hidden.

Therefore, in your opinion, obtaining technologies such as psionic energy, leap, star gate, etc. is equivalent to filling most of the gap in strength between the two sides. You think that you have the same weapons as us, like an ancient man fighting a modern man, both holding a cold weapon in their hands. Although the times are different, the outcome of the fight is still uncertain, but the fact is that the weapons in our hands Weapons are several iterations beyond yours, just like you are still wielding a sword, we have already shoveled you, people and planets together with a star destroyer.

As a result, you can see that we originally had the possibility of peaceful coexistence. Although you will lose room for advancement, at least you can still guarantee the independence of civilization. Sometimes it is not a good choice to compromise. "

Hearing this, the leader of the Kunde tribe shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"Watching the road ahead is blocked but doing nothing, that's not what we Kunde people do, we'd rather give it a go."

"Well said, a civilization without ambition has no future. I understand you. It is really unsatisfactory to give up your homeland."

Tarrokov did not object, but nodded appreciatively, then slowed down his tone, shook his head and said, "It's just that your only mistake is that you chose the wrong opponent."

The Kunde leader lowered his head.

He didn't regret his choice, and his heart was still full of resentment.

However, what he hates the most at this time is not the Scarlet Empire, but the black hands behind the scenes who use the Kunde people as gunmen!

In his eyes, that is the root of their clan!

"Okay, let's stop here, thank you for your cooperation."

At this moment, Tarrokov stood up, summoned Han Xiao, and prepared to leave the interrogation room.

"Wait a minute!"

The Kunde leader suddenly spoke in a low tone:

"In fact, you will not destroy us, but plan to raise us in captivity, right?"

"Well, there is such a possibility... However, we will not adopt the physical means of intellectual castration like yours. At most, we will only start from the cultural aspect."

The leader of the Kunde tribe understood and took a deep breath, "So... I must die, right?"

Tarrokov paused, did not choose to hide, nodded and said: "You are a symbol for people to vent their anger, a target for people to cast aside, a lesson left in history, and a useful propaganda tool."

Han Xiao shook his head when he heard it.

These people speak in a cloud of mist, but fortunately he can understand.

If the empire chooses cultural transformation, then it needs to choose a puppet to lead the Kunde tribe, and the candidate for the puppet will never be the leader of the Kunde tribe.

The role of this guy is to be used as a puppet by the empire to perform a grand dumping ceremony.

And the scene would end with his execution.

"I understand that one person needs to bear the burden of wrong things, and I don't care if I leave a bad name." The leader of the Kunde tribe has already made up his mind to die, "I can fully cooperate with you in this play, but I have two requests...no Looking at me like this, I know that I am not qualified to raise conditions, but I can only tell you, you can take this as my last wish."

"...Then tell me."

"First, we have already surrendered. It doesn't matter if you kill me, but I hope that other compatriots can be properly settled and no more lives will be lost. Second..."

The tone of the Kunde leader suddenly became ferocious, "I will pay the price for those who use us behind the scenes!"

After the voice fell, Tarrokov remained indifferent, turned around and left as if he hadn't heard it.

Seeing this, the leader of the Kunde tribe silently lowered his head.

He knew in his heart that the other party would not accept his request, but today might be the last chance to speak, and he had no choice.

At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared in his lowered vision.

The leader of the Kunde tribe looked up, only to see that the man in black who had been silent after entering the door, who didn't know the details, walked in front of him, looking down at him from a high position.

Before he could doubt, what he heard next made him almost jump up in shock, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.

"I accept your request."

"!!"

The Kunde leader was stunned.

Tarrokov stopped in his tracks, turned around suddenly, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Han Xiao looked calm, and continued:

"I will report to the empire to place your people in my territory and take care of them as much as possible. As for making the black hands behind the scenes pay the price, it is not difficult."

He has a style of not being profitable, but when the leader of the Kunde tribe made his last wish just now, a new task really popped up on the panel, which he guessed.

The moment he saw the requirements and rewards, Han Xiao made a decision—this mission must be accepted!

"who are you?!"

Hearing these words, the leader of the Kunde tribe finally couldn't help asking Han Xiao about the details.

"You can call me Black Star. As for who I am... well, my title is relatively long, and I guess you don't understand what it means. Well, you only need to know one thing and that's enough..."

Han Xiao smiled slightly.

"I alone can destroy your entire civilization."
